	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Friday, April 26th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	We are building the infrastructure of human freedom.
	And of course, human freedom is under extreme attack right now.
	And the title of today's show is America Descends into an Authoritarian Theocracy as Governors Unleash Troops on Students.
	Of course, this is all about the student protests calling for a free Palestine, which you would think that, gosh, calling for freedom for your own country, your own people, especially a country that was taken from you by force, by the way, that calling for freedom would be very much a pro-America kind of value.
	Wasn't that essentially the cry of the colonists in America in the 1700s?
	You know, they wanted to be free from the King of England.
	They wanted freedom.
	I mean, I guess today, if you were to say, you know, free America, you can be accused of anti-Semitism somehow.
	You know, it's like, how dare you call for freedom?
	That's hate speech.
	What?
	What are you talking about?
	So it is now being claimed by, of course, completely dishonest people like GOP Speaker of the House Mike Johnson that the phrase free Palestine is a phrase that is violent, that it's calling for violence.
	Netanyahu claims this now, of course, instantly playing the victim, which is what Zionists are really, really good at.
	I mean, they've been perfecting that for generations, just victimhood while they kill everybody else around them.
	But we're going to talk about this today in some detail.
	I've got a couple of special reports on this as well.
	And then I have an interview with Michael Yan coming up.
	Just filmed that interview earlier today.
	Michael Yan is currently in Taiwan, and we're going to talk about Japan and how there is an uprising in Japan against the COVID vaccine.
	And there are a lot of interesting things happening in Taiwan.
	in Taiwan and also, of course, what's happening in the Middle East and America, the Texas border, the border invasion, and so much more.
	So that is a wide-ranging interview with Michael Yan.
	It's about 75 minutes or so, I believe, and he got up really early in Taiwan in order to do that interview with me.
	So I thank him for that.
	You'll want to stay tuned for that.
	So let's cover some things here real quickly.
	As you know, the students are being brutalized on campuses across America, and they're being threatened with being expelled from the university for merely chanting Free Palestine.
	There's a person on Twitter, Arif Rafiq.
	I don't know who this person is, but the tweet makes a lot of sense.
	He says, He's talking about people who are critical of Israel.
	He was reacting to a news report from CBC News out of Canada.
	That reported the Ontario legislature has banned the wearing of keffias.
	That's the sort of Palestinian scarf.
	I don't know if that's the right description, but...
	Anyway, the Ontario legislature is calling for banning those with its speakers saying the scarves are a political statement.
	So if you wear a scarf now, then...
	You could be arrested.
	And I saw that even Laura Loomer was calling for the mass arrest of students in Florida because they were wearing scarves.
	I couldn't believe it.
	I couldn't believe it.
	I'm like, I thought Laura Loomer supported freedom, freedom of speech and liberty, but when it comes to Israel, oh no, arrest all those people.
	They're wearing scarves.
	Give me a break.
	This is insane.
	And then also on Twitter, A user named Cassandra MacDonald, the Twitter handle is Cassandra Rules, was reacting to a video of a senator, Senator Pete Ricketts, talking about why they want to ban TikTok while they're giving all this money to Ukraine and to Israel.
	So Cassandra says, quote,"...they will deport people for protesting Israel, but not for breaking into this country illegally or committing crimes against Americans." They will ban TikTok over Israel criticism, but not for pushing trans crap on children.
	They will break up peaceful protests against Israel, but not actual violent riots during the George Floyd nonsense.
	If you're not pissed, I don't know what to say to you, she says.
	Alright, let me read a tweet that I sent out earlier today which sort of sets the stage.
	For this article I've written, this statement that I want to read for you.
	So here's a tweet.
	By unleashing police brutality against the student protesters in Austin, Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has done irreparable damage to the reputation of the state of Texas, which was once known as a place of freedom and free expression.
	Now, Governor Abbott says that those who criticize Israel's blatant genocide are criminals who must be arrested and thrown in jail.
	Yeah, he actually said that.
	Not only is this a gross violation of the United States Constitution, the First Amendment, it's also a violation of the state constitution of Texas.
	But this is Governor Abbott's Justin Trudeau versus the truckers moment, when everybody paying attention realizes that they are living under a tyrannical regime that respects no rule of law, no civil rights, and no freedoms when it comes to the subject of justifiably criticizing Israel and We're acting as a murderous regime of war criminals.
	Governor Abbott should resign from public office and apologize to the student protesters for violating their civil rights.
	No doubt massive lawsuits are coming against the state of Texas over all this.
	And now I'm going to read an article called How Both Israel and the GOP Completely Lost My Support in Just Six and a Half Months.
	Now, let me set the stage for this because for many years...
	I was completely pro-Israel.
	I mean, I wasn't actively involved in the issues of the Middle East.
	I just wasn't well informed in that area.
	But by default, I was pro-Israel.
	And of course, that's because I had been subjected to many decades of pro-Israeli propaganda in the US media and the US government.
	But also...
	I took many years of training in Krav Maga, which is, of course, the Israeli combat martial art.
	And over the years, I achieved a very high level of training in Krav Maga, even weapons training, weapon takeaways, edge weapons, as well as firearms takeaways.
	And you learn a lot of techniques, how to take pistols away from people, how to take shotguns away from people.
	And you get to the point where you're not afraid at all of somebody pointing a gun to your face.
	In fact, you want them to be as close as possible because you know how to take it away.
	And you get to the point you're not afraid of pistols, you're afraid of knives.
	Pistols you can handle.
	Knives get tricky, but in any case, you don't want to mess with Krav Maga practitioners because they are very proficient fighters.
	Now, in this process of learning this martial art of Krav Maga, of course, I was trained by many Israelis.
	The highest level of training in that you end up training with Israeli teachers, Israeli fighters.
	And to this day, I still remember some sort of offhand comments from time to time in that training where something was going on in the Middle East.
	I don't even remember what year it was.
	But I remember one of the instructors saying, well, about Palestine, sometimes you've got to go in there and just clean out the snakes.
	It's a den of snakes.
	I remember him saying that.
	You've got to clean them out.
	And that sounds a lot like the way Netanyahu talks today, by the way, which is just declaring these human beings to be, in this case, reptiles, snakes, and then saying you've got to just kill them all.
	And that attitude was absolutely present in some of my Krav Maga training.
	Although...
	It wasn't ever present.
	It was just like an offhand comment a couple of times over several years, you know?
	But I still remember it because I found it so odd.
	I'm like, what do you mean?
	What do you mean you got to go in there and kill all these people?
	What are you talking about?
	But it's not like in class everybody's going like, kill Palestine, kill Palestine.
	No, it wasn't that.
	And a lot of the class was, you know, just self-defense type of stuff anyway.
	But anyway, also one of the reasons I think I was accused in the past of being a Mossad agent, it's always funny because, you know, by the way, if you want to know who are the trolls that are running around the internet accusing Alex Jones of working for Mossad or, you know, accusing, I don't know, like Douglas McGregor of working for the CIA or whatever, you know who that is?
	That's the CIA doing that.
	All they do is run around and spread FUD, fear, uncertainty, and doubt about influencers, just to try to make people not trust them.
	So it's actually the CIA that's spreading rumors about people working for the CIA or working for Mossad, in case you're curious about where that comes from.
	In any case, there were some times when I was also talking about Israeli-made firearms, such as the Tavor firearm, which is a bullpup AR, basically.
	And also Galil was another firearm that...
	I own, I think, one Galil firearm and, I don't know, one or two Tavors.
	And at one point I was talking about, you know, how interesting they are and, you know, very well made and things like that.
	And people were like, oh, you must be working for Mossad.
	You know, you're pushing Israeli firearms.
	Well, no, I... I buy firearms from all kinds of different makes and models over the years, and some of them are good and some of them aren't.
	I talk about that.
	Who cares?
	So anyway, for a long time I was considered to be very much pro-Israel.
	Even though I didn't really focus on the topic, I was never anti-Palestine.
	You know what I mean?
	I wasn't involved.
	And in retrospect, that was a mistake.
	I should have learned sooner.
	I talk about that in this article.
	So let me read this article for you, and then we'll go to a couple special reports, and we'll go to the interview with Michael Yan coming up, which I think you will very much enjoy.
	Here it is.
	Here's my article.
	Before October 7th, I was pro-Israel and pro-GOP. Oh, the title is How Both Israel and the GOP Completely Lost My Support in Just Six and a Half Months.
	Okay?
	I'm going to walk you through this.
	I don't know if you have a similar journey.
	Maybe partway.
	Maybe you share what I'm sharing here.
	Maybe you completely disagree.
	But here's my experience.
	Right after October 7th, I was even more pro-Israel, feeling great sadness for the Israeli deaths that took place during the Hamas attack.
	Before long, however, Israel began bombing Gaza in retaliation.
	Soon it became apparent that the IDF wasn't bombing Hamas at all.
	They were bombing hospitals, universities, refugee centers, and civilian residential buildings.
	As the deaths from the indiscriminate bombings mounted, the actions of Israel became, in my mind at least, irreconcilable with the claim of self-defense.
	At 5,000 Gazan deaths, I became very alarmed.
	Which I know you might think, why did it take 5,000?
	Well, again, you know, I wasn't paying sufficient attention at the time.
	At 10,000 deaths, I was outraged.
	At 20,000, I was horrified.
	Today, the death count stands at 35,000 plus.
	And Israel insists it is still bombing Gazans to death as an act of self-defense.
	And by the way, they're also about to attack Rafa.
	During which they will no doubt kill thousands more Palestinians.
	During all this, almost no member of the GOP spoke out against Israel's mass bombing of civilian infrastructure and residential buildings using U.S. supplied 2,000 pound bombs.
	which are indiscriminate killers of any innocent civilians who are unlucky enough to be caught in the extensive blast radius far from precision strikes Israel's attacks on Gaza were more accurately described as genocidal carpet bombing to destroy every living person in an entire city Again,
	any honest person will arrive at this conclusion.
	And the people out there who are still defending Israel are not honest thinkers.
	They're just not.
	If you have principles and you believe that genocide is wrong, you have to oppose Israel at this point.
	If you're pro-Israel, you're either an evil person or you have muddled thinking.
	All right, continuing.
	Modern-day war crimes, is what I'm talking about here, intended to exterminate an entire ethnic group of people so that Zionists could steal their land, water, and resources.
	It was at this point that Israel completely lost my support.
	In retrospect, I no doubt afforded Israel far too much hesitation, tending to give them the benefit of the doubt solely because my understanding of what Israel was actually doing had been obscured by a lifetime of pro-Israel Western propaganda.
	Now, the true nature of Israel and Zionism is abundantly clear, and I feel a sense of personal shame that I did not recognize this sooner.
	Israel is a nation of extreme hatred and violence.
	And that goes for most of its people too, not just the leaders.
	Run by murderous war criminals who act daily on a deeply evil intent to achieve the genocidal extermination of the Palestinian people.
	These acts from Israel's leadership are deliberate and even celebrated in their own words as they openly call for the mass extermination of all Palestinians.
	It is now abundantly obvious that Israel's genocidal nature is incompatible with sustainable human civilization or even regional peace and that the escalatory actions of Israel such as bombing Iran's consulate building in Damascus are so extremely dangerous that far from being America's greatest ally Israel has actually become America's most dangerous enemy.
	And by the way, I should have added, I think Netanyahu should be labeled enemy number one against America.
	He is the most dangerous person in the world for America's interests.
	It's not Putin!
	It's Netanyahu.
	He's the most dangerous person.
	Continuing, the GOP, for their part, now appears to be wholly controlled by Netanyahu and his far-right Likud party extremists.
	The shocking obedience of Texas Governor Greg Abbott in dispatching hundreds of state troopers to brutally assault peaceful pro-Palestine protesters at the UT campus in Austin belies the gross abandonment of fundamental civil rights principles which now defines the Republican Party in America.
	The very same Republicans who screeched about the abuse of federal power levied against the peaceful J6 protesters is now calling for military force to be unleashed against unarmed, peaceful university students merely because Israel does not like the content of the protesters' speech.
	The official position of Texas Governor Abbott, now admitted in his own words, is that your First Amendment rights are now defined and limited by Israel.
	And if Israel says they don't like your speech, then Texas will deploy overwhelming military force to arrest you and jail you, even when you have committed no definable crime other than offending Israel.
	And by the way, at this point, I think all of us should be offending Israel by telling the truth.
	If Netanyahu feels offended, well, you know, it's about time.
	That guy's a murderous war criminal.
	He's He's going to go down to history right alongside Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and a bunch of other genocidal lunatics.
	Continuing, that Senator Ted Cruz is going along with this, and that Governors Noam and DeSantis are also apparently beholden to Israel's demands, is a shocking indictment of the Republican Party in general.
	And it is a gross admission that the GOP will readily abandon any principle at all, including the most sacred principle enshrined in the First Amendment, in order to appease the Zionist lobby that now appears to exert total control over the GOP in America.
	And by the way, we're going to have to add a hyphen to Governor Abbott's name.
	It's now Governor Abbott hyphen Netanyahu.
	Because he's married to Netanyahu.
	Governor Abbott Netanyahu.
	And Netanyahu is the dominant partner in the marriage, and Netanyahu tells little bitch Abbott what to do.
	And Abbott dutifully carries out whatever orders he's given by Netanyahu, even if it's a gross violation of the Texas Constitution.
	Yeah, that's how crazy this is.
	Alright, continuing.
	That's how the GOP lost my support.
	And the fact that Trump continues to side with Israel's brutality and genocidal violence, rather than denouncing these assaults on free speech in America, reveals that Trump himself is also, hate to say it folks, a Zionist puppet.
	Who cannot be trusted to make policy decisions based on universal principles.
	Crudely stated, Dr.
	Shiva was absolutely correct when he said, everybody but me sucks Zionist bleep.
	He was referring to RFK Jr., Donald J. Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and other candidates running for president.
	Although his metaphor is profane, it is not wrong.
	In summary, it only took six and a half months for both Israel and the GOP to lose my support.
	Now I speak out against Israel's crimes against humanity and I am calling out every member of the GOP who is complicit in Israel's genocidal crimes.
	I'm known as an influencer of influencers, and although I've lost a few followers over my speaking out against Israel, mostly Christian Zionists, I've gained tremendous reach among those who are sickened by war, incensed by the military industrial complex, and fed up with Zionists playing the anti-Semitism card to try to play victim every time they're scheming to justify their mass murder.
	More importantly, I now realize that the GOP establishment has no remaining guiding principles whatsoever, not even the principle of freedom of speech.
	And if the GOP won't defend your First Amendment, folks, they also won't defend your Second Amendment.
	Or, as we've seen recently with Speaker Johnson, not your Fourth Amendment either.
	You're watching the GOP abandon the key pillars of America with each passing day, by the way.
	It's time for a new political party that isn't populated by Zionist puppets, big pharma pill pushers, military industrial complex, warmongers, and corrupt incompetent lunatics who want to drive us all into World War III. In other words, you know, enough with the neocons, enough with the ziocons, enough with the lunatics, enough with the fascists, radical leftists.
	Colonel Douglas McGregor.
	Who now serves as the CEO of OurCountryOurChoice.com is absolutely correct when he says that the current uni-party system cannot be salvaged or reformed.
	It is too far gone.
	Elections no longer matter because regardless of who you vote for, you always get John McCain.
	Continuing to support the very same candidates that have now wholly sold out to Ukraine, Israel, or other foreign interests, all while utterly abandoning the urgent domestic issues that threaten the very existence of our country, such as the open borders crisis, is an act of insanity.
	The Democrats are almost universally proving to be authoritarian tyrants, but the Republicans always seem to arrive at the same authoritarianism through different excuses.
	Isn't that interesting?
	They always end up in the same place.
	And it's always anti-America.
	In terms of the policies they support, there's literally no difference whatsoever.
	Both Democrats and Republicans wholly support big pharma and the vaccine industry, big war and the death industry, big banking and the debt industry, and above all, big government to control everything you're allowed to speak or think.
	The Democrats have actively destroyed this once great nation.
	But the Republicans were either wholly complicit or stood by and did nothing, while the arsonists set fire to the pillars of our constitutional republic.
	As is now obvious to anyone paying attention, we no longer have a functioning civil society in the United States of America.
	We have a failed government, failed election integrity, a failed justice system, a failed counterfeit currency, fake corporate media, fake war propaganda, a failed educational system, and a weaponized system of science and medicine that literally develops and deploys biological weapons against the American and a weaponized system of science and medicine that literally develops and deploys biological weapons against the American people, while actively depriving the public of knowledge of solutions that could have saved millions of people from injury and death
	Today, the United States federal government functions as a deliberate weapon against not just the American people, but against the entire world.
	And each day as they awaken, federal government officials no doubt ask themselves, how can we hurt more people today?
	Or how do we destroy more nations so that America might hold on to its waning dominance a few years longer?
	And they're even, you know, they're destroying allied nations like Germany and the UK and so on.
	America is a global terrorism regime.
	We're living under the unrelenting tyranny of a geopolitical suicide cult, and its appetite for destruction and human suffering knows no bounds.
	As this collapsing empire desperately tries to hold on to power, it will destroy the lives, the assets, and the dreams of an entire nation.
	And both Israel and the GOP are tossing accelerant grenades onto the bonfire of destruction, burning this civilization to the ground and taking as many people as possible with them.
	In conclusion, I can no longer participate in any way in supporting such a destructive, demonic system of national suicide.
	I hereby withdraw my consent and my vote.
	End of article.
	So that's my statement.
	That's my experience.
	That's the way I see this right now.
	And I very much doubt anything's going to get better.
	I think this system will implode.
	It will collapse.
	And it will become just a raging, tyrannical anarchy with rogue, terroristic governments running around assassinating people in America.
	With the Israeli lobby choosing the targets using their AI system called Lavender.
	And they will be the shot callers.
	While government agencies, even in the state of Texas, run around assassinating people who are critical of Israel.
	That's what they're going to try to do.
	I mean that's where this is headed.
	Because Israel, of course, is run by genocidal, mass-murdering lunatics, and Governor Abbott is their little bitch who will do their bidding.
	And he is lawless.
	He's out of control.
	He should resign.
	He's become a danger to the people of Texas at this point, a danger to the civil rights of the Texas people.
	He should resign, or he should be impeached.
	So here's what we're going to do, actually.
	I'm going to mix up the order here a little bit.
	We're going to jump directly to the interview with Michael Yon.
	And then on the other side of that interview, we'll play, I think, one or two of my special reports.
	One of them is called, I'm done with the GOP. Their abandonment of free speech to defend Israel's genocide is my line in the sand.
	But I think I already said all that.
	So maybe we don't have to play that.
	The other one is that the title is Crank Conservatives Abandoned the First Amendment When It Comes to Criticizing Israel.
	I think we'll play that one after the interview with Michael Yan.
	And Michael and I talk about this a little bit, by the way, plus other world events and things that are going on, including the wide open border and so on.
	But I want to encourage you to think about this issue in all seriousness.
	If the state of Texas or the state of Florida or the state of South Dakota, wherever, these are supposed to be conservative, pro-liberty, pro-freedom states, right?
	If these states are now saying, and this is what Governor Abbott is saying in Texas, that anyone who says free Palestine is a criminal who should be arrested, he said that on Twitter, then we are in some very dangerous territory.
	Right?
	Because who gave Governor Abbott the right to decide which words and phrases are suddenly spontaneous crimes?
	The phrase, free Palestine...
	Gosh, did I say free Palestine earlier?
	Did I say free Israel?
	Free Palestine is the correct phrase.
	The phrase, free Palestine, is not a call for violence.
	It's not a call to action.
	It's not an incitement to action.
	It's not yelling fire in a crowded theater, as the saying goes.
	It's a call to end genocide.
	It's a call for freedom for an entire ethnic group of people who...
	It was their land before 1948.
	The Israelis came along and committed violence and stole it from them.
	So, chanting free Palestine is not an incitement to violence.
	And it is not a crime.
	Not under Texas law.
	Not under the Constitution.
	Not under federal law.
	If the governor of Texas decides to make it a crime to chant free Palestine, or a crime to wear a Palestinian scarf, then he is admitting that he's not qualified to be governor, that he is a tyrant, and that he is a lackey of Israel, which of course he is, we now know.
	But all of this would be thrown out by the Texas Supreme Court, by the way.
	I have no question, no doubt about that.
	I've met Texas Supreme Court judges, and they are very, the ones I've met at least, are very reasonable, rational people who would throw this out in a hot minute, and they would strike it down and say, nope, as the governor of Texas, you cannot criminalize just patterns of speech that call for Palestine to be free.
	Sorry.
	They would strike it down.
	So I wonder what's going to come of this, but if you are a supporter of the GOP, I encourage you to join me.
	You and I should be absolutely outraged and very vocal about this, and we should let the GOP know that they've lost our support.
	Now, they could regain our support by denouncing Israel's genocide, by the way.
	So they could reverse this if they had any spine at all.
	But as long as they are just lackeys of Israel, and they're suppressing the freedom to speak, and they're suppressing student peaceful protests, we will not support them, and we will call them out.
	We will call out their hypocrisy, their contradictions, their abandonment of core principles.
	And that's what I'm doing here today.
	The GOP has now proven it has no principles whatsoever.
	I don't know what the GOP stands for.
	They used to say they stood for small government.
	Really?
	When was the last time the GOP voted for smaller government?
	Never.
	Not even when they had the House and the Senate and the White House during Trump's first two years.
	They had it all.
	Did they vote for smaller government?
	Nope.
	Not one bit.
	Did they legalize more firearms for self-defense?
	Nope.
	What did they do?
	Oh, they passed tax breaks mostly for themselves.
	That's what they did.
	When the GOP is in power, they don't do anything with it.
	When they don't have power, then they tell you a bunch of lies about what they're going to do when they come into power.
	And then when they get the power, they don't do any of those things.
	They just side with the Democrats.
	That's the GOP. It's time for a new party.
	I'm done with the GOP. I'm done.
	Can't support it.
	Can't support its candidates.
	And it was the crackdown on the students in Austin that was the tipping point for me.
	That did it.
	Even though I don't even agree with most of those students.
	Most of them are woke, you know?
	Most of them probably think there's like 97 genders.
	I mean, but hey, they're young.
	Their minds are filled with mush from the university, you know?
	Some of them may gain wisdom over the years.
	Most of them will.
	I mean, I look back to my days when I was at the university and I didn't know Jack.
	I thought Bill Clinton was cool at the time.
	Of course, we didn't have, you know, Twitter.
	We didn't have the internet.
	We had CNN. That was it.
	We had CNN and, you know...
	We had, like, very early campus computers.
	You went to a special room that had Macintosh computers in it.
	You had to sign in and use the computer on a 3.5-inch floppy disk.
	That's when I went to college.
	But I didn't know what was going on back then, so you can't expect college students today to know everything that's going on.
	You still need to support their right to speak.
	Let them speak.
	Let them participate.
	Let them debate.
	The best way to show a young person how silly their position is is to let them speak it out over and over again so that they hear themselves and then other people bounce back at them and question their ideas.
	If you just send in state troopers, all you're teaching the students is that they're living in an authoritarian theocracy police state.
	And all that does is it reinforces the very positions that they were protesting about.
	You don't teach them anything useful.
	I mean, really, all Governor Abbott is doing is probably creating more resistance against Israel.
	So Governor Abbott is actually doing the job of Hamas.
	Maybe Hamas will praise Abbott for the violent crackdown on students because it's like a really great Hamas recruiting method or something, you know?
	I wouldn't be surprised.
	Governor Abbott, you could say, is doing the bidding of Hamas.
	That's wild.
	And of course, the state troopers in Texas are also acting like IDF soldiers, brutalizing innocent people, just like the IDF does in Gaza.
	What's next?
	Will the governor of Texas order his troops to fire upon all pro-Palestinian protesters on campus?
	Because that's what the IDF does, assassinating the doctors and medical workers in hospitals in Gaza.
	The IDF uses Palestinians for target practice.
	Is that going to happen in Texas next?
	Will state troopers just...
	Get on the parking garages and high buildings with long rifles and just start shooting at students.
	I wouldn't be surprised at this point if Governor Abbott orders them to do that.
	Now, I don't think they would carry that out, the individual men, because they're not psychopaths and they're not puppets of Zionism for the most part.
	But they are still following orders right now.
	Let's see how far this goes.
	It will be interesting.
	Okay, rest assured, times are going to get crazy.
	A very insane situation.
	The interview with Michael Yan is coming up here.

	Meticulously crafted, formulated by Dr.
	Brian Artis, manufactured by Dr.
	Edward Group and his company, and then subjected to extensive laboratory testing through our laboratory facilities, multiple mass spec instruments.
	Again, it's called Foreign Protein Cleanse.
	It's available now at healthrangerstore.com.
	We also have the elk antler velvet products from Sir Thrival with Daniel Vitalis.
	We've got those in our store, healthrangerstore.com.
	Very potent.
	I'm on that now.
	Just started taking the elk antler a couple of days ago, and it's now added to my daily regimen, including, by the way, foreign protein cleanse.
	I'm taking that as well.
	And also we have the black walnut protein from SirThrival in our store, healthrangerstore.com, in stock right now.
	Finally, if you're concerned about where things are going in this country, we also sell hoplite body armor in our store right now.
	Of course, we only ship it to states where it's legal to own, but that's still most U.S. states.
	So if you need body armor because things are going to get crazy...
	You can get the Hoplite body armor at our store, healthrangerstore.com.
	Just search for body armor.
	And it's American engineered and American made, by the way.
	The highest quality body armor that I've ever seen.
	It's very lightweight, advanced materials with the right geometry, double curve plates available as well.
	So check that out.
	Hoplite Armor at HealthRangerStore.com.
	And then finally, for backup communications, don't forget the satellite phone store, SAT123.com.
	And don't forget that they have, you know, you can imagine that Israel might at one point, like order the governor of Texas to take down all the cell towers on campus if the state troopers are brutalizing the students so that nobody can broadcast.
	Right.
	I mean, that's not out of the question at this point.
	Just total blackout because Netanyahu wants to have a blackout.
	They've done this in Gaza.
	How many times have they taken down the telecommunications infrastructure in Gaza?
	Because they didn't want videos getting out of all their genocide and mass murder.
	Heck, Israel tried to sink the USS Liberty naval vessel in 1967, I believe, to try to stop American sailors from reporting the truth about the war crimes that were happening in the 1960s that Israel was committing back then.
	They tried to sink a U.S. Navy warship.
	OK, they murdered U.S. sailors.
	That's the truth about Israel right there.
	I didn't even know about that until the last few months.
	So have no question that if the governor of Texas unleashes military force, we're talking like Kent State on steroids against the peaceful protesters, they might take down the cell towers.
	Well, the satellite phone store has the baby sticks, and they're satellite text messaging devices, and you can optionally turn on the geolocation feature and also the emergency alert button.
	Which will send alerts to five of your predefined contacts with your location and a predefined message.
	A lot of outdoor adventurers use this.
	Snowboarders and also border patrol people.
	All kinds of people use this.
	First responders even as well.
	But these days, I guess being in a student protest now puts you on the front lines of an actual kinetic battle in America.
	This is getting completely out of hand.
	It's a bad look for Texas, by the way, Governor Abbott.
	A bad look to have hulking state troopers tossing around 120-pound students.
	I mean, my God.
	I guess on the good side, there's going to be a lot fewer people moving to Texas, which is probably pretty good.
	The traffic will get better.
	And there'll be more parking.
	And I can see a lot of people are going to start leaving Austin.
	You know, Austin has been kind of this darling city for a long time.
	It's like, oh, let's move to Austin.
	It's cool.
	It's free.
	It's edgy.
	You know, keep Austin weird.
	That was the saying.
	That's done.
	As of today, thanks to Governor Abbott, now Austin is forever going to be emblazoned with this image of hulking state troopers stomping on fragile snowflake students just because they were speaking out against Israel.
	That's what Austin now has become.
	So, hey, Governor Abbott just committed basically an act of economic terrorism against the state of Texas.
	He just destroyed Any plans of other corporations and businesses that want to move to Texas now, it's like, uh, I don't know that we want to live under a tyrannical authoritarian theocracy, you know?
	Really, it's going to give pause to a lot of people and a lot of companies.
	So, good job, Governor Abbott!
	Economic terrorists targeting the state of Texas with your violent insanity against peaceful students.
	Unreal.
	Just absolutely unreal.
	I can't even believe that I have to report this.
	Alright, with that said, here's the interview with Michael Yan.
	And again, on the other side, we'll have at least one special report for you.
	So enjoy this interview.
	And I'll be back with you...
	Wait, wait.
	Today's Friday?
	Oh yeah, I'll have at least a special report for you this weekend.
	One or more.
	So enjoy the interview.
	Talk to you again soon.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, coming to you from the great state of Texas, where today, as a Texan, I am living in, well, I'm feeling a lot of shame for the state of Texas because Governor Abbott has ordered a military crackdown on the free speech protesters at UT Austin,
	University of Texas, Austin, The protesters who merely are protesting against Israel's blatant genocide and apparently free speech is no longer valid in the state of Texas.
	The governor of Texas has said all those students belong in jail and he has dispatched hundreds of state troopers and state military in order to brutally attack them and throw them to the ground.
	And, I mean, this is just straight-up police brutality on display.
	And joining me today to help process what's going on and why this is happening and why the GOP candidates are now abandoning the principle of the First Amendment is Michael Yan.
	Welcome, Michael Yan.
	You're doing amazing work.
	I know you're in Asia right now.
	Thank you for being up super early or late.
	I'm not sure what hour it is, but thank you for joining us today.
	Thanks for having me on.
	I'm looking at the clock.
	It's 0408 here in Taiwan, not Thailand.
	A lot of Americans will get that mixed up.
	Not me.
	I used to live there.
	I know you did.
	You speak Mandarin.
	I remember one time I was down in, where was that?
	I was in Darien Gap and there was some Chinese in front of me and And you asked me to put the phone up to him and you started talking to him in Mandarin.
	I remember that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that was pretty cool.
	So are you in Taipei?
	I am.
	I am.
	Okay.
	And, you know, I love Taiwan.
	Taiwan, you know, out of all the countries I've been to, this is one of my favorite countries.
	I love the people here.
	Yeah.
	I do too.
	Just extraordinary.
	Just a great culture, very capable people.
	I love everything about Taiwan.
	They are.
	You know, when I got the taxi from the airport, the taxi driver was like, we are not Chinese.
	Taiwanese.
	I'm like, yes, sir.
	I know that, sir.
	Yes.
	They're crystal clear on that.
	Yeah.
	And so now I'm here again, back doing research again.
	And I just left Japan.
	I'm going to go back to Japan after this because there's World pandemic treaty protests going on in Japan.
	There was one on the 13th of April, and a lot of American friends were sending me links.
	They're like, did you know Japan has these This huge protest going on, the World Pandemic Treaty, against the World Pandemic Treaty.
	I'm like, yeah, in fact, you know, the live camera that you're looking at is right beside me.
	I'm in the protest.
	You were there, yes.
	Yeah.
	Masako Ganaha is speaking right in front of me.
	Yeah.
	And I had a literally, you know, they only thought there was going to be like 300 or 400 people come to the protest.
	And so Masako Ganaha flew in from Canada Up to Tokyo to do the speech, and I went with her, right?
	And so when we showed up, there was a huge line.
	It's like massive.
	And so instead of – well, the auditorium was filled up and only fitted – Like 400.
	They estimated there was 19 or 20,000 that showed up.
	Oh, my.
	Oh, yeah.
	And a lot of them, well, I mean, they came from all over Japan because a lot of them, they were holding up signs where they were from and that sort of thing.
	And so...
	Now they're going to have two more.
	They're going to have one on March, I'm sorry, May 22nd and 23rd, and then another one.
	Look at that AI just did a thumbs up.
	I know.
	You gave the thumbs up and it put the emoticon right there.
	I wonder what other secret signals you could do, yeah.
	Yeah, I did a heart the other day that worked.
	I mean, it's whatever.
	You know, I've been telling people for years, it's just a matter of time until the facial recognition and the body language recognition and voice analysis will be like a I mean, you know, they will be able to tell quite a lot.
	Imagine that if you go back in time through all the videos and films and history and look at old presidents and people talking and, you know, and that should be quite interesting.
	Oh, yeah.
	Back to the current day.
	Well, this is the current day with this sort of AI, but so May 22nd and 23rd will be the first The next protest in Tokyo and then on the 31st of May should be one that's quite large.
	Now, I've been with the organizers several days in a row, like in private meetings for these protests.
	In fact, I got invited to the Diet last week or so, right?
	The Diet is the Japanese parliament, right?
	So I've been there before.
	I've been there numerous times over the years.
	But I got invited there this time, and they handed me a microphone.
	I didn't expect to speak.
	So I just spoke at the Diet, actually, and people were live streaming it, actually, so So it went all around Japan.
	So that brought up even more awareness to when they realized people are serious about coming in from overseas to this thing and how important it is.
	And the spark in Japan did just...
	You remember the Canadian trucker convoy, of course?
	That spread to the United States and spread to Europe, too.
	And so, in private meetings at the Diet, not when I was speaking on the microphone, but I was talking with members of Parliament and others saying, listen, I want to take your energy here and spread it back to the United States.
	And to Europe as well.
	Michael, I hate to bring up this painful history about the interaction between the United States and Japan, but of course, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the first case in history where the U.S. Empire deployed a weapon of mass destruction against a largely civilian population, twice.
	I consider that act to be a war crime.
	Crime Against Humanity.
	And then now today, to fast forward, the depopulation bioweapon jab, also from the West, being deployed against the Japanese civilian population.
	Do more and more people of Japan realize that this is the second genocide against the Japanese people carried out by the West?
	A lot do.
	A lot do not.
	A lot of Japanese are as brainwashed as many Americans and Europeans, but a lot actually do see it.
	And one of the prime ones is Masako Ganaha.
	She's been studying this quite a lot.
	You know, she's been to Oh, Lord.
	I mean, she's on this all the time.
	And a lot of Japanese listen to her.
	I mean, when I walk down the streets with Misako in Japan, people, I mean, everybody knows who she is.
	No kidding.
	Oh, yeah.
	She's quite famous in Japan.
	So one of the reasons that the crowd got so big was everybody knew Misako would be there, right?
	Because when I was with her out in the I mean, they didn't fit in the auditorium, so they then went for hours walking around in the streets of Tokyo.
	They're very polite.
	You know how Japanese are.
	They didn't block the streets or turn over any cars.
	You didn't need a helmet.
	They were being good Japanese.
	But when you're out there with Misako, there was a long line of people waiting to talk with her.
	Actually, Epoch Times came up to me at one point, and they're like, Hey, we know you know Masako.
	Where is she?
	I'm like, I'm watching her.
	I'm watching her live feed.
	She's right over there.
	I was actually watching everybody around her kind of being a shadow security.
	That's interesting because now when you're in certain parts of America, people recognize you.
	And, you know, like recently you've been on with Tucker Carlson.
	You know, you've been on my show and Alex Jones show many times.
	You're really recognized in America.
	But Masako, not so much in America, but then I guess it's all flipped when you go to Tokyo.
	Yeah, and actually a lot of people recognize me in Japan as well, believe it or not, because I did write three books on information war that are only in Japanese.
	Oh, interesting.
	I didn't know that, huh?
	Yeah, I wrote those books.
	Well, when was the first one?
	Maybe 2014 or 15, 16.
	Anyway, I wrote three.
	And they're not in English, because I've worked for years To wake up Japan on what's going on.
	And I did many, many interviews.
	I just did a bunch more in Japan.
	And when I go back, I'm sure they'll continue because, you know, Japan is such a vital partner.
	I love Japan.
	You know, I've spent about 18 years in Asia between China and India and Nepal and Thailand and, you know, all over the place, like 25 countries just in Asia.
	I always joke with Asians, quote-unquote.
	I'm like, I've seen more of Asia than 99% of the Asians ever have.
	That's true, yeah.
	That's absolutely true.
	What are you doing now, then, in Taiwan?
	Well, I'm always concerned about Taiwan for various reasons.
	Obviously, this is the front line against the mainland Chinese who are all piled up with the same people that are getting heads bashed now in Austin.
	I mean, the Chinese Communist Party is close partners with the Globalist, the World Economic Forum, right?
	And the World Economic Forum, obviously, one of the main power centers of the World Economic Forum, I just call them Zion-Stanys, you know what I mean?
	The Zionists, you know, from Zion-Stan.
	I mean, let's just call it what it is.
	And so this country, Taiwan, is deeply, obviously, under the gun from China.
	You know, one thing I want to say about Taiwan, I love this place.
	Again, I've been to 98 countries now.
	Most of my life has been out of the United States, even though I'm solid...
	Hardcore American.
	But this is one of my top favorite countries.
	But one thing that's interesting is you'll hear even analysts, so-called analysts, talking about Taiwan as if it's a breakaway province of China.
	And I always say to people, you know, How long was Taiwan actually a province of China?
	When did it break away?
	And actually, as you well know, this was never a province of China, not for one second, not for one day.
	It was never part of China.
	Period.
	Not at all.
	So when you hear analysts saying that, you know either they don't know anything about the country that they're analyzing, I don't
	know.
	Taiwan is to isolate Taiwan.
	As long as any country actually recognizes Taiwan, then the officials in Taiwan will be able to fly around the world and have protections so that they can fly through Europe and not be arrested or whatever.
	And so there's still there's a battle going on around the world between China and Taiwan to close Taiwanese embassies and in diplomatic recognition of time.
	Absolutely.
	No, and China will hand out money to all of these developing nations.
	Here's a billion dollars.
	Drop your recognition of Taiwan.
	And they do.
	That's right.
	As you know, like, for instance, Panama has dropped it.
	And I've been to all the countries in Central America.
	Well, there's two countries that still recognize Taiwan in Central America, and that's Belize and Guatemala.
	And so, which are side by side, both on the southern border of Mexico.
	So we were in Belize.
	We were actually talking with Mennonites about farming and resiliency and that sort of thing.
	But while we were at it, we were also looking at the invasion flows of the people coming through the dairy and up through Thank you.
	You know, Belize has a close relationship, of course, with Taiwan, as does Haiti, actually.
	And, you know, an interesting thing, though, we then went down to El Salvador.
	And El Salvador is now in cahoots with CCP, unfortunately.
	Right.
	We went into it.
	Masako and I, we always go to museums.
	We go to archaeological digs.
	We go to libraries.
	And we're going to go to a museum today, actually, in Taipei.
	And the reason we do this is because we go to these places.
	You know, when you're tracking, you want to cut the track until you find the tracks of something.
	So we track information more.
	And one of the places to cut the track on information more is museums.
	In other words, that's where you get on the trail of what the messages are that are going around.
	We were just in a bunch of museums in Canada, for instance.
	And you can see the museum patterns that you see in Central America or in the United States, across Europe, or here.
	It's always the same, one of victimizations.
	Speaking of which, I mean, like the indigenous people being victimized.
	And so anyway, I can go into that in detail, but let me say something about the atomic bombs and victimization.
	A little oolong tea, sir.
	Which is quite good here.
	In my book, Danger Close, from 1999, by the way, if you look up Danger Close, when I came out with that title, it was the only book with that title.
	Now there's like 20, more than 20.
	I know.
	I've seen that.
	There's more than 20 books or videos with that title now, you know, films.
	More than 20, so you'll get confused about which Danger Close.
	But it's Michael, you're on Danger Close.
	But in my 1999 book called Danger Close, and in that book, people often wondered where I came from out of the blue and suddenly was doing all these things.
	So I kind of explained how I grew up and went through Green Beret training and all these things that happened along the way, which were quite wild, actually.
	But I came out with that book in 1999.
	And in that book, I talk about the atomic bombs.
	Just briefly, I remember in the draft, I put a lot more detail in, and then I thought, I'm going off to the side on this.
	But I straight up say what you said.
	I mean, it was obviously a war crime.
	And you know where I came to that conclusion that the atomic bombs on Japan were war crimes?
	When I was in Special Forces, believe it or not, when you're a Green Beret, you get a lot of legal training.
	I mean, there were so many classes on the laws of land warfare and all these other things.
	It was a lot.
	At one point, I'm like, am I becoming a lawyer here or a Green Beret?
	Because, I mean, seriously, I could go ahead and take the bar exam at some point.
	But, you know, I remember, and we were taught by real lawyers, right?
	So they would go over.
	So they wanted you to know the white lines of the law when you conduct warfare, because if anybody's in a position to break that law, it would be special operations forces.
	Right.
	And so they wanted you to know what those white lines were.
	So at one point I remember in one of the classrooms, I said, you know, excuse me, sir.
	Like all these things that you're telling me, it sounds like dropping the atomic bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
	We're actually war crimes because, I mean, based on what you're telling us, it's straight up war crimes like, Like, it's not even ambiguous.
	And I remember there was two lawyers, as I recall, were like, yeah, actually, technically, I mean, that would have been a war crime.
	Both of them would have been.
	I mean, clearly, based on what you're teaching us.
	I mean, but you know what about Japanese?
	Can I say something?
	Yeah, go for it.
	This goes right into...
	You know, Zion stands, so-called Israel, and I mean that with full force, so-called Israel.
	This is not the biblical Israel.
	You know that.
	I watch your Twitter all the time.
	I mean, countries that are professional victims, and I mean cultures, And people who are professional victims are always professional victimizers, right?
	I have never seen an exception to that in all the cultures I've been in around the world.
	But look at Japan.
	Japan got nuked twice.
	We actually pushed them into Pearl Harbor.
	Japanese know that.
	And some increasing numbers of Americans know that.
	But you notice that the Japanese never make themselves out to be victims.
	They don't.
	They say that was unfortunate.
	It was terrible.
	And they were doing these atomic bombs on us to actually do tests and to scare the Russians.
	And they'll say they were actually war crimes, but they never make themselves out to be victims.
	And notice that the Japanese are not predatory by nature.
	They were expanding during that time period because we were all expanding around them.
	The Russians, us, of course, the Dutch, the French.
	I mean, it was who's who in the zoo was coming around them.
	The British, of course.
	I mean, they had to expand.
	For instance, anyway, I know quite a bit about history.
	You know a lot about history, and you and I agree on the assessment of the atomic bombs.
	But let me just add something, because it's very relevant to what's happening today with Ukraine and Russia.
	The U.S. empire is in the business of provocations.
	The U.S. Empire engineers wars and then claims to be the victim itself.
	So that was Pearl Harbor.
	So Pearl Harbor was engineered, the U.S. naval blockade of energy to Japan, which forced Japan to lash out in order to find an energy source.
	Now the weaponization of trade and the weaponization of the currency That's a specialty of the U.S. Empire.
	And that's what the U.S. Empire is doing to Russia, cutting off Russia from the SWIFT system, trying to surround Russia and also surrounding Iran in the Middle East with U.S. military bases in Iraq and other places, and then initiating provocations and then claiming to be the victim and then claiming that we have the right to self-defense, so we must attack back, which is exactly what Israel is saying.
	Israel, same thing.
	Provocations, they allowed October 7th to happen so they could initiate this genocide against the Palestinian people.
	Michael, you know this more than anybody.
	It's all the same Western playbook.
	You know, it took me years to come to that realization, and it's obviously quite true.
	For instance, you know how much I love old books.
	Man, I just bought a bunch of old books in Japan, by the way.
	They have a huge amount of just antique bookstores there in Tokyo that are in English.
	But but I love old books.
	And one of the old books that I read years ago was President Grant's autobiography, you know, General Grant.
	And that guy, he I wish he were president now.
	I mean, that guy was amazing.
	But he talked about this provocations back then.
	So that book came out in the 1890s, as I recall, right?
	So his autobiography, he wrote it with Samuel Clemens.
	You know, Mark Twain was his, not ghostwriter, he's openly helped him write it.
	And so, when Grant was a lieutenant, as I recall, I think it was a lieutenant, they were down in Texas territory, and they were provoking the Mexicans to attack us as Casas Belli to go after them, right?
	And it was quite interesting because he says it, he's like, You can, he's a very moral man, Grant was.
	He was a serious general.
	He was a killer, but he was a very moral man.
	And he's like, you know, basically what we're doing to these Mexicans is wrong.
	I mean, he's like, we're here doing, I can't remember what the book said.
	It was years ago that I read it, but it went along the lines of we were doing these things to provoke those Mexicans to attack us.
	And he's like, you know, that just didn't sit well with me, that sort of thing.
	We do that perpetually.
	Go ahead, sir.
	Well, no, that's exactly the point.
	So all the wars that we are in right now are all unnecessary.
	The U.S. I mean, I hate to say this.
	Look, I love the ideals of the United States of America.
	I love the Constitution.
	I love the vision of the Founding Fathers.
	I want to be clear.
	And, you know, I love the great state of Texas, although I'm totally disgusted with the current actions of our governor, who is a globalist.
	But America, since the end of World War II, the U.S. empire, I call it, has become the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world.
	I mean, they blew up the Nord Stream Pipeline, pipelines, plural, which is an act of terror against the civilian infrastructure of Germany.
	You and I have talked about that many times, Michael.
	And that's an act of terrorism by the United States of America, not to mention what the U.S. did in Iraq in the 1990s, murdering, what, half a million civilians by destroying the infrastructure.
	And then you get, you know, former State Department officials...
	Madeleine Albright saying, yeah, totally worth it.
	Totally worth it.
	We needed to kill all those people because that's how we win.
	And destroying Libya, you know, kidnapping leaders in Panama in the past.
	I mean, the U.S. Empire is a terrorist group.
	Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, I mean, I'm still a hardcore American.
	It's in my soul.
	But as we get older and we have had time to research more, especially reading old books, I love listening to old people and how direct they talk, you know, and just like the way we're talking now.
	I mean, the good sides of the United States, the good sides of America are absolutely as intensely good as the bad sides.
	We're like one of those Hindu gods with four faces or whatever.
	One face that is absolutely the finest country I've ever been to is clearly the United States.
	But then we actually do a lot of terrorism.
	There's no question about it.
	We are at once incredibly generous.
	Like, I've never seen any country as generous as the United States and no people as generous as Americans.
	And I say that with a lot of experience behind me saying that.
	And then we can be amazingly greedy to the point where we will just, I mean, straight up do genocide and drop atomic weapons on.
	We did it twice.
	And this is what concerns me right now.
	In a war between Russia and the United States, at any moment, I would not be surprised at all if we did a preemptive nuclear strike on Russia.
	I've been warning about that since before this latest iteration of war.
	In Ukraine, I mean, the insane people that are in charge of the United States, I mean, they've been installed.
	We know that.
	They're meat puppets of the globalists, like Abbott there in Texas.
	You and I have been calling him out hardcore for a long time.
	Well, you more than me.
	I was more reserved about the governor here in Texas until...
	Just the last couple of days.
	Now I kind of see more of what you're saying.
	I think when it comes to conservatives, I think I led the way on attacking him because, you know, I spent a lot of time in Texas, especially up in Dripping Springs, and, you know, I always tell my Texas friends, you know, if I come to your neighborhood and I set up a shop, which I have done in Texas, that's not a good sign.
	I am a war correspondent.
	I came to Texas.
	I had one old friend retired from CIA now and moved to Texas, and she's like, oh, you know, she went there because she thought it was illegal.
	Safe and they got a great electrical grid.
	And I'm like, great electrical grid?
	What do they teach you guys at CIA? Didn't you see the ice storm took out the electrical grid?
	You know, and if I'm setting up shop there, you should probably be moving somewhere else.
	I mean, Texas is clearly a frontline.
	That's why Abbott was installed.
	I've been going after him since I don't even know when.
	As soon as I studied up on him, I went from zero to that guy's the enemy, right?
	I mean, he's world economics.
	Well, along those lines, what has become clear with the pro-Palestine student protesters at the University of Texas, Austin, I mean, they're peaceful.
	They set up tents.
	Yeah, they're shouting slogans.
	But they don't have weapons.
	They're not a militant group.
	And then the governor of Texas sends more troops to put them down and brutalizes them and throws them around than he would ever send to protect the border.
	It's like, oh, the border invasion, we can't do anything about that.
	And even during the Black Lives Matter riots, oh, we can't do anything about that.
	But the minute somebody criticizes Israel, then, oh, call out the National Guard.
	That's what I'm seeing.
	Well, you know, the President of the United States, Benjamin Netanyahu, has really said that this shall not happen in the United States.
	I mean, let's be realistic.
	I'm only semi-joking about that.
	There is very serious control over the United States with these dual citizenship people.
	Like Mayorkas is an example.
	I'm not saying he's dual citizenship, but he is a clear, hardcore Zionist.
	I mean, he was a board member at highest, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, And, of course, Mayorkas is from Cuban parents who were refugees to the United States, Jewish, and that's why he was a board member at the Hebrew Immigrant Age Society.
	Which is conducting huge amounts of invasion into the United States.
	Right.
	I mean, literally letting Iranians in, right in front of us.
	I was down there with Laura Loomer.
	She did excellent work down the Dairy Gap.
	Unbelievable work.
	Actually, weirdly enough, she's Zionist, but I like her, you know what I mean?
	She's actually, this is what's twisted.
	I know some serious Zionists that I actually weirdly like.
	I mean, like Brett Weinstein, you know what I mean?
	But there's different factions within them, though.
	There are, but to that point, like, Laura Loomer is a great example, where she's really outstanding on every issue, except when Israel's the subject, you know?
	And then it's like, suddenly, you know, all the principles go out the window, and now it's just tribalism.
	You've got to defend Israel no matter what.
	And she's calling for the arrest of the students in Florida.
	And I'm like...
	What bothers me, and this is true about Senator Ted Cruz...
	I didn't know she was...
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	She tweeted out, gotta arrest all these students.
	She said because they're wearing scarves, that they should be arrested.
	And I'm like, what?
	So does that mean you're gonna arrest old ladies that wear scarves, too?
	Did she say that on her Twitter?
	Yeah, it's on her Twitter.
	It was like a day ago.
	But my point is, Senator Ted Cruz in Texas...
	It's clear that he doesn't respect the First Amendment.
	And Michael, you tell me if I'm wrong on this.
	The GOP is run by Israel.
	And the proof of that is the fact that you had so many people...
	Speaking out against the way the Biden regime prosecuted J6 protesters, right?
	And the argument there was that J6, all those people were peaceful.
	They were speaking out.
	They wanted their grievances addressed by the government.
	Yeah, they were maybe a little bit rowdy.
	They were shouting slogans and whatever.
	They should never have been arrested.
	But then when it comes to Palestinian students...
	On campus, those same GOP people are like, no, arrest all those people because they're criticizing Israel.
	Well, wait a minute.
	What happened to your J6 argument?
	Right?
	Cognitive dissonance is a dangerous thing, as you know.
	And, you know, it took me years to come to the realization that You know, I thought a lot of the people that were making these comments in the past were actually anti-Semites.
	But, you know, that's a term that's overused.
	That's a grenade that's overused.
	But over time, I've come to the realization that actually, it's actually true.
	There is actually, like the British would often tell me, like, you know, I'm up there with, you know, serious people in Britain at times, in the UK and London.
	And they would say things like this.
	Your government is so heavily influenced by...
	You know, by the Zionist, and I didn't quite see it.
	It took a while to study up on it, but I see it's quite clear.
	It's quite obvious.
	In fact, it's like nakedly right in front of us if you can shed the cognitive dissonance to see it.
	And, you know, everybody is subject to getting into cognitive dissonance, including you and me can get into it as well.
	Cognitive dissonance is the mud of thinking, right?
	Because everybody can get into it.
	Hold on, Michael.
	I'm sorry to interrupt.
	But I check myself on that all the time.
	I am a principled person, and my principles are universal, okay?
	So I do...
	You're very good.
	Your thinking hygiene is very good.
	Yes.
	That's why I follow you.
	So I'm always looking at your Twitter.
	What does Mike say?
	I mean, you have very...
	Because thinking hygiene is a sort of hygiene...
	That's an interesting term.
	To make sure you...
	Yeah, I mean, to make sure that you're not in cognitive dissonance is the mud of thinking, right?
	Right, right.
	And it took me a while to actually come to the realization that actually these people are not all anti-Semites.
	In fact, it can be quite the opposite.
	But they recognize what's happening.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But to your point, I want to push back a little bit when you say, you know, you or I could get into cognitive dissonance.
	I want to push back and say that I don't excuse the governor of Texas.
	I don't excuse Senator Ted Cruz.
	I don't excuse even Laura Loomer for...
	Abandoning principles.
	And it's not an accident.
	It's not a spontaneous thing.
	That's why I follow your Twitter.
	I'm always wondering, what's Mike going to say?
	Because you get to watch subjects that I don't have time for, and you're thinking hygiene is very good.
	You do stick with principles.
	You stick with principles.
	There's one more thing, though, that goes with this, Michael, which is that If I did contradict something, a principle that I had stated that I supported, if somebody like you came to me and said, Mike, wait a minute, you're way off base on this.
	You're contradicting this principle.
	You need to rethink this.
	I would listen to that.
	And in fact, in the early days of COVID, I got it wrong.
	And I later apologized to David Icke.
	For getting it wrong and said, guess what?
	David Icke had it right from day one and it took me a while to catch up to that.
	But to be willing to admit that you've made a mistake is a very rare thing.
	You almost never see it in our movement.
	No, you're very good.
	Actually, when I say that you or I can get into cognitive dissonance, it's like you or I can get into mud.
	I haven't actually seen you in it.
	I don't remember going, well, Mike is losing his mind on this thing, but I haven't seen you do that, actually.
	Well, if you do, let me know.
	I'll message you immediately because I'm watching your feed.
	I'm on your feed unless I'm like on an airplane or something.
	I look at your feed pretty much daily, right?
	Oh, wow.
	Because I've learned through work correspondent work.
	I'm always looking for sources that are trustworthy, of course.
	So it's a constant selection process.
	You know another one who's good is actually Matt Bracken.
	I like Matt Bracken.
	I follow him too, yeah.
	Matthew Bracken has very good thinking hygiene.
	I completely agree.
	He checks himself.
	He's always looking in the mirror like, where am I? Just make sure, because we can all get in the, you know, we are in these information spheres, as you know.
	That's right.
	And so when you can find people with good thinking hygiene, latch on to them and start paying attention, because these are auditing mechanisms for our own thought processes, right?
	Let me give out...
	Go ahead, sir.
	I'm sorry to keep interrupting, but I want to give you credit.
	Your website, michaelyan.com, and then also your Twitter handle.
	Is it michael__yan?
	Is that right?
	Yes, sir.
	On Twitter, it's michael__yan.
	Okay, michael__yan.
	Got it.
	Okay.
	Again, I apologize for interrupting.
	There's a little bit of a delay because you're in Japan or Taiwan at the moment.
	Yeah.
	So I apologize.
	But I want to give you credit.
	And I also want to mention that you're in the new film, 17MilesMovie.com.
	This is the first Bright Town Films original film.
	And this entire film was filmed with a budget of $58,000.
	Wow!
	I mean, it was...
	You know, Bob Denny, he really was working hard, man.
	We were out there.
	Next thing you know, we went over to film that in Tennessee and...
	And the next thing you know, we're flying around in the helicopters filming scenes up there and stuff.
	I mean, he really squeezed a lot out of that $58,000 and got a lot done, man.
	Well, he did.
	And I just want to give you credit, Michael, because you play yourself in the film, and it's a film about human trafficking.
	And Anne VanderSteel is in the film also.
	So you and Anne and Sheriff Richard Mack is in the film.
	I have a little cameo, like 10 seconds or whatever, but you're prominently in the film.
	I just want to thank you for participating, and I can't wait for people to see the film and your appearance there.
	Thank you, sir.
	And thank you for letting me be in the film.
	And by the way, another one with good thinking hygiene is Ann VanderSteel.
	Absolutely.
	My partner, Operation, she's always auditing herself.
	100%.
	Because when she sees that she's gotten caught in the mud, she immediately starts to extricate herself.
	She was one of the first telling me about DeSantis.
	And, you know, Ann is quite interesting.
	When I first met her, I was in Washington, D.C., and she would often say things, and I'm like, that sounds kind of crazy, and about six months later, it was obviously true, like Alex Jones or like you, you know, or Matt Bracken.
	I mean, a lot of times when you're...
	you see things that others don't see, often it's just due to studying a lot more, right?
	And having more time to think about it.
	Or you just, for whatever reason, you can see things.
	Ann is very good about that.
	So that's why I watch her work all the time as well.
	Yeah.
	Ann Vandersteel's work.
	That's why when I started Operation Burning Edge, the very first person I called was Ann And I asked Ann, I said, look, I got this idea about going across the entire southern border and doing this, that, and the other.
	And I said, are you interested?
	She's like, let's do it.
	And so the next thing you know, I mean, we were, you know, the Colony Ridge lawsuits and Elon Musk getting involved in the border stuff.
	These are clearly results of Operation Burning Edge.
	Absolutely.
	You broke the ice on this.
	Yes.
	Yeah, and Ann has been right there in the middle of it, leading, burning edge with me.
	And often she is the leader.
	Sometimes I'm the leader.
	You know, we sort of switch off.
	But together, we're a great team.
	And people get on to me all the time.
	Why are you working with Ann Vanderstil?
	I'm like, because.
	She fights, and she fights effectively, and she fights smartly.
	I mean, she's a great fighting partner.
	Absolutely.
	She never stops, man.
	She's like a robot.
	We have great admiration for Anne VanderSteel here.
	In fact, I'm interviewing her in a couple of weeks here.
	And by the way, you're always welcome here in the studio whenever you manage to get back to Texas, because I don't know how you travel so well.
	I mean, you are in a different time zone, a different country, a different airport, like every time I'm talking to you.
	Yeah, I mean, we're constantly in meetings, meeting with the most amazing people.
	You know, you see this poncho you see me with all the time?
	Yeah.
	I literally sleep in this poncho.
	You know, I've done interviews with you in it in your studio.
	I was just on Tucker with it.
	Of course, over with Alex Jones and so many more, this is literally one of the ways I get around.
	Literally, I just had it up by the Arctic Circle.
	If you have the right gear and you've got the right packing list, you can travel around quite light and quite quickly and get things done.
	That's why I use ponchos.
	I can literally sleep in them and use it as a suit.
	Well, let me ask you, that poncho, is it made out of wool, or what's the material?
	Wool, brother.
	I'm full wool.
	That's what I would guess.
	Cotton's for punks.
	God made wool for me to wear it.
	You know what I mean?
	It's funny.
	Those virologists were coming out with, you know, we can instantly make these These, you know, vaccines to do this, that, and the other.
	And as you know, I study like a madman.
	And I would say to some of them, look, when you can beat God at making sheep who make wool, then come back and talk to me about your instant vaccine.
	Because, you know, you would make billions of dollars very quickly if you could make something that's better than wool.
	You know what I mean?
	I mean, you know, all this Gore-Tex and stuff, I love it.
	It's great.
	But this is the Mac Daddy right here.
	I was just up in the Northwest Territories, 250 miles from the Arctic Circle.
	And I hired this guide who's actually a hunter, right?
	We went ice fishing and that sort of thing because I wanted Misako to get out and, Yeah, I saw the photos of Masako catching a fish in the ice hole or whatever that was.
	Yeah, she had never caught fish before, so I wanted to take her fishing.
	I wanted her to learn how to clean fish and that sort of thing, which she did.
	She caught 10 fish, man.
	So anyway, this hunter we were out with, and we were actually out there researching weaponized migration.
	We were actually out there researching the northern passageway that the Chinese and the Russians are, you know, getting prepared.
	Anyway, we were actually out there studying information more and that sort of thing.
	But while we were at it, I got this hunter to take our ice fishing.
	And then I was asking him about what are his favorite, you know, boots and this sort of thing out there.
	He was total wool, man.
	He was totally like, you know, he's just old school.
	He's out there hunting moose and all these other things out there.
	And literally bears and that sort of thing.
	And it's total wool.
	I spend a lot of time outdoors too, not traveling like you do, but outdoors in Texas.
	And when you spend time outdoors, you begin to understand why cowboys dress like cowboys.
	There's a reason the hat is shaped exactly like that.
	There's a reason they have wool socks because they still have their thermal properties even when it's wet.
	But the reason the hat is shaped like that, you'll find out the very first time you're in a rainstorm And the brim of your hat is not long enough because that rain goes right down your collar, right down your back.
	And you're like, oh, I need a cowboy hat that's actually longer.
	So the rain misses my back.
	And then if you design the perfect thing, you end up with a cowboy hat.
	It's functional.
	It's not fashion.
	It's function.
	This is why I love the old stuff, man, like a poncho.
	Yeah.
	I mean, seriously.
	I was over in Japan the other day, and it was raining.
	We were doing this interview after.
	It was kind of chilly, actually.
	And you know how Japanese are with the umbrellas.
	I'm like, baby, I don't need an umbrella.
	Everybody's trying to put the umbrella over me.
	I'm like, I got my wool.
	I'm wearing this thing.
	It gets wet.
	It doesn't matter.
	Right.
	Totally.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And that's why I wear this all the time, because I'm not wearing it for fashion, although it's pretty cool, actually.
	I'm wearing it because it's wool, and it's a blanket and everything else.
	I don't carry an umbrella, I carry this thing.
	Let me talk about people who want to support you, because on your website, on the top right, it says Support Michael.
	People can donate to you via PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and so on.
	You should have, like, the Michael Jan Poncho line.
	It should.
	Like, really?
	For real?
	It should.
	I want a Michael Jan poncho.
	You know what I mean?
	If you had that on your site, you set up like a Shopify account and have like the world's most rugged, hardcore wool ponchos endorsed by Michael Jan, man, you'd see them all over town.
	Everybody would want a poncho.
	I'd have to go down somewhere to...
	Out of Ireland or someplace to get good ones designed out of that really proper, maybe Iceland, you know, the great wool.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Or get like Peruvian wool.
	I was just thinking of Peru.
	When I said down, I was thinking Peru because they've got great wool down there.
	I would get like, I don't know, try an alpaca variety or something, you know what I mean?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Really good.
	The Peruvians know how to make great, you know, textiles.
	They're all over that.
	Yeah, they do.
	Actually, that might be...
	Anyway, go ahead, sir.
	No, it's funny because...
	We've been through from nuclear war to the best war, right?
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	But let's get back to the topic at hand.
	I'm sorry about all the distractions.
	I want your take on how the GOP is attacking now the First Amendment in America because people are criticizing Israel's ongoing genocide.
	And it...
	For a guy like me, I feel like at this point, I'm just going to sit out the next election because it doesn't matter who I vote for.
	They're going to destroy my civil rights either way.
	What do you think?
	Yeah, you know, I've been going after Trump for a while now, ever since he was, you know, Newt Gingrich called me up before the first election.
	I was at my office in Thailand, not Taiwan, but Thailand.
	And he called up and he was trying to rust off a bunch of support for Trump.
	So this was when he was running against Clinton, right?
	And I said, sir, thank you for calling me.
	I don't like Donald Trump, but I'm never going to vote for anything by the name of Clinton, I can assure you of that.
	So I held my nose and put my checkmark beside Trump on the first election because I was really voting against Clinton.
	And then on the second election, I actually voted for Trump.
	And that election clearly was stolen.
	But he pushes the death jab.
	This is April of 2024, and he still stands behind it.
	I know.
	Every time I say that, every time I say that, people say, no, he's not.
	I'm like, what part did, you know, how many times does he have to say it?
	He just said it a couple of weeks ago again, right?
	He's still pushing.
	And people say, well, he didn't force you to take it.
	I'm like, well, Pablo Escobar didn't force people to take cocaine, you know?
	And they'll go, well, that's not a direct, you know, that's not an equivalent, you know.
	I'm like, it is.
	You're in cognitive dissonance.
	You're covered in mud.
	You're stuck in mud.
	I am telling you, he is not St.
	Trump.
	He is not my savior.
	You know, there's only one savior and it's not Trump, right?
	That doesn't mean Biden is good.
	Obviously, Biden is evil.
	And I'm not going to vote for RFK because he's a gun grabber, right?
	But at the same time, and people say, what choice do we have?
	I'm like, you know, somebody said on Twitter today, Some of the things I published, he made a comment.
	He goes, you're basically being the tooth fairy.
	You're telling the children that there's no tooth fairy, but you're not offering a replacement.
	I'm like, I don't have a replacement.
	There's just no tooth fairy.
	Trump's not the tooth fairy.
	But I don't have – there's no replacement either.
	I don't – Michael, I'm right there with you on this point, and I was thinking about this actually on my way over to the studio today, thinking that, because I am very much a principled person, and I live by principles, and if principles are not universal, then they aren't principles, okay?
	And I realize that I cannot live with myself, with my self-image as a principled person, if I vote for the GOP. Knowing what I know now, what they're doing now, attacking freedom of speech, you know, blowing out taxpayer money, sending it all to Ukraine, sending it all to Israel, bombing Palestine.
	I can't live with myself as a principled person and vote GOP. And of course I can't vote for Democrats because they try to be evil.
	You know, they're incredibly evil.
	But I've reached this point.
	The Democrats seem to go to bed figuring out how they can do something even more evil.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Whereas the Republicans are not that bad, but they still end up in the same place.
	Exactly right.
	The Republicans aren't inherently evil.
	They just have no spine, no backbone, and they sell out overnight like Speaker Johnson.
	Boom.
	All of a sudden, he's like, warrantless searches, spying on the American people.
	All okay now because I had a secret briefing from the CIA. Give me a break.
	I can't vote for that, Michael.
	Trump came right out and supported him instantly.
	Unbelievable.
	I can't vote for that.
	Yeah, and I sent a message to Bannon.
	I was just trying to open it up.
	I was like, you know, yeah, I mean, where's the message?
	Yeah, well, actually, I see he responded now.
	I didn't see his response.
	Yeah, what's Steve Bannon say?
	Let me see.
	Let me go back down to what I said.
	Oh, I sent the...
	I said, Trump sold it and selling us out again.
	F him.
	That's a bad language I wrote.
	And then I put another message with that, you know, the thing that was hidden in the bill, not so hidden, was the billions of dollars that will help the invasion of the United States, right?
	And Trump's like, hey, you're doing a great job.
	I'm like...
	And so then I said, you know, why does Trump support this?
	The three-point...
	Four or nine billion dollars to remain available.
	Okay.
	Department of State migration and refugee assistance for an additional amount for migration and refugee assistance 3.495 billion dollars to remain available until expended to address humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations and communities provided that such amount is designated by Congress as being for an emergency requirement pursuant to section blah blah blah of the balanced budget emergency deficit control act of 1985.
	They're handing out money to illegals.
	Yeah, so I messaged to Bannon that, that little screenshot.
	Oh yeah, for sure, that's part of our invasion.
	That's literally...
	Another almost $3.495 billion more invasion funds to the United States.
	And I sent that to Steve, and I said, why does Trump support this?
	I see he responded, outrageous.
	That was it, just outrageous.
	And I just saw his response.
	But this brings up a really important question.
	You've got people like Steve Bannon, and we mentioned Laura Loomer earlier.
	Laura's like all in for Trump, 100% Trump.
	And I get it.
	There's a lot of people that are all in for Trump.
	And Steve Bannon's a fighter.
	He's a warrior.
	He's an asset to America as he keeps fighting.
	He's a hardcore fighter.
	He is.
	He's a hardcore fighter.
	He's got scars all over his face.
	Yeah.
	But...
	I think a lot more people are going to be kind of where I am on this, Michael.
	I don't even know where you are.
	But unless Trump comes out and says, I'm not going to be ruled by Israel.
	I'm not going to push the jabs.
	I'm not going to fund the border.
	I'm not going to give out money to the military-industrial complex to keep fighting another war with Russia or Palestine or Iran.
	Unless he comes out and says all that stuff, which is highly unlikely, I can't in good conscience vote for him.
	No, he's just a different form of scumbag.
	I mean, seriously, he's destroying the United States.
	Trump, that death jab, there are red lines.
	People give him passes on that.
	The reason we get this poor behavior is because people accept it.
	That's a maximum of military leadership is you'll get what you allow, right?
	The lowest behavior that you will allow, you will get it.
	You're right?
	And so people are allowed, they just keep making up, you know, they keep saying things like, well, Fauci fooled him.
	I'm like, okay, well, guess what?
	Fauci didn't fool me and Fauci didn't fool tens of millions of other Americans and people around the world.
	That's right.
	So if you're telling me Trump got fooled by Fauci, but little old me and so many of us, we didn't get fooled, why would I vote for a fool, right?
	And another is, well, his ego won't allow him, you gotta give him a break on that.
	I'm like, are you out of your mind?
	You're saying I should vote for a narcissist that is so narcissistic that he would just watch millions of people die because he can't admit that he was wrong?
	Are you literally saying that?
	I hear that every single day.
	Yeah, it's just like, are you out of your mind?
	And they're like, well, he never, he gave us the opportunity, he gave us the, you know, the choice of taking hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin.
	I'm like, he doesn't give me anything.
	He's not God.
	I'm American, right?
	We're humans, too.
	We're children of God.
	We don't ask Trump for permission to take hydroxychloroquine.
	He doesn't grant us permission, right?
	It's just like a slave way of talking.
	I'm like, what are you, British or something?
	That's the way slave British talk, you know?
	As much as I love the British.
	Let's face it, in your minds, you're all slaves.
	You know?
	And I'm sorry, I've just traveled too much to not see it, right?
	No, you're exactly right.
	And don't forget on top of that.
	Any country that doesn't have freedom of speech is a slave country, and that includes Canada.
	I've been telling Canadians that for, I don't know, 25 years.
	You know, I love Canadians.
	I love to travel with them and whatnot.
	But every once in a while, it'll just pop out at me, you're talking like a slave again.
	And if you're going to talk to me as an equal, which I want you to do, stop talking like a slave.
	Because I'm not a slave, and I'm not going to be a slave like you.
	They don't even know what to do with that.
	I've told you this before.
	Especially when I'm with British or Germans, I'll often say, oh, hold on, you're from Germany.
	Hold on, can I borrow your pen?
	I'll write a little note down, put it in my pocket, hold on.
	Because I know in about 30 minutes, they're going to bring up, they want to know where I stand on Second Amendment.
	They're going to want to know where I stand on gun rights, right?
	And the Germans and English, especially English, not so much Scottish, but English bring it up hardcore.
	They'll bring it up, and I'm like, oh, hold on.
	You were going to ask me about guns.
	It shocks them when I do that.
	It shocks them.
	They're like, how did you know I was going to ask about guns?
	I'm like, ja, ich spreche Deutsch.
	Listen, I lived in Germany for four years.
	I've had, I think, everybody in Germany, not everybody, but a lot of them are pro.
	They wish they had a Second Amendment.
	But the English and the German, I've told the English and the Germans so many times, I'm like, we don't have guns to hunt deer, we don't have guns to hunt bear, or to protect ourselves against the Chinese.
	We have guns to protect ourselves against English and Germans, right?
	You know?
	And, I mean, straight up, especially the British, you know?
	There's something about the British, and I'm sure we have many British citizens watching, and there are amazing Britons, like Alexander Mercurius, for example.
	I was out in combat with the Brits a lot in Afghanistan and Iraq.
	If you look at Michael Yan, British combat, you'll see that many videos and photos of me in real combat with them.
	Lots of firefights and bombings and everything else.
	And I really respect them deeply, right?
	They are allies, but they do have, still, they are subjects, right?
	They do.
	You can tell a lot of them that's in their DNA. They're willing to go along with tyranny.
	Yeah.
	And they're willing to give up their guns.
	I know.
	It's crazy.
	It's in their cultural firmware, right?
	And what is it about Germany that the German citizens, by and large, although there are exceptions, of course, but by and large, the German citizenry are willing to go along with their own suicide as a nation.
	Like, Germany's future is very dark, if not completely in doubt at this point.
	You know, when I was in the Netherlands with Jordan Peterson, you know, he's a psychologist, and I brought up to Jordan, and I said, you know, I've often wondered, wait, you just asked, Michael, why do the Germans, like, just sometimes go and self-destruct, right?
	And I think it might be, like, I think it might be, you need to study people's mythology, right?
	Because people will want to, I mean, even unconsciously, they will move to fulfill their goals.
	Their mythology, right?
	That's why I tell people to be very cautious of victimization cultures.
	That's not necessarily...
	Well, in some people, the victimization, the victimhood is part of their mythological firmware, right?
	Like, we're always being put down.
	No matter what we do, they're always going to come get us.
	They're after us because...
	We're more successful or blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	And at the end of the day, they continue to victimize others and it becomes self-fulfilling because then people start to victimize you because you're victimizing them, right?
	So it happens over and over and over around the world.
	It's self-fulfilling, right?
	But in the German language, Sort of Norse mythology.
	People who are experts on this could talk more about it.
	I've read stacks of books on mythology because I realize how important it is.
	But in their sort of firmware, they see themselves as rising up to the top and, boom, being smashed down, right?
	Being flattened like a phoenix and then rising again.
	And I think just based on their actions, because we can see them doing it again.
	You know, we can see them killing themselves yet again, the Germans.
	And again, I spent more than four years in Germany.
	I speak German.
	I went to the Defense Language Institute for German.
	Then I lived in Germany.
	and I've been all, you know, I was at BASF, the big chemical company you and I have talked about many times.
	And I was there with Masako Ganaha twice before Nord Stream was attacked.
	And I had an iPad that was open to a web.
	I bought iPad just to follow Nord Stream flows.
	This is before it was interrupted, right?
	And so we went to, as you know, a lot of the natural gas or a lot of the feedstock for BASF came to Nord Stream, right?
	So we were there.
	We were inside the plant.
	We were getting a tour.
	And I asked the tour guide there at BASF. Masako was right beside me.
	I said, what happens if Nord Stream gets interrupted?
	Because I thought the United States was going to destroy it, right?
	That's why I bought an iPad, just to watch the flows.
	There was a website where you could see how many...
	We're going through the system, right?
	And the tour guide in BASF said, then BASF is dead, right?
	Well, then we know it did get interrupted.
	The United States, somebody asked me recently, I think it was somebody, you know, it was a member of the...
	Japanese parliament.
	I was in his office after I spoke at the Diet.
	He asked me to go up to his office.
	So I was in his office.
	The Diet, again, is their parliament.
	So I was in his office.
	This is like, I don't know, 10 days ago or so.
	And he asked me who destroyed Nord Stream.
	And I said, well...
	Let's see, either space aliens or the United States, you know?
	And there were other members there in the small room, and they all laughed, like you did, because it's quite obvious who did it.
	I mean, he didn't know that I had...
	Or maybe I had told him that he knew somehow that Masako and I had gone to BASF twice because we thought that Nord Stream was going to get destroyed.
	And then it did.
	Now, why BASF? Why were we going there?
	Because it's the biggest chemical company in the world.
	And now that Nord Stream has been destroyed, You can see that they're moving a lot of their operations to China and Texas and other places, right?
	They're still open there at Ludwigshoff in Germany, which is where they started the Haber-Bosch process in 1914, right?
	But now, in last March, not March 2024, but 2023, I left the Darien Gap and I flew over to Netherlands again and I went there for the elections Because there was an important election.
	So I was there with one of the parties, the FBD party, the Forum for Democracy.
	But when I was finished with that, I went up to Groningen.
	Groningen is the biggest natural gas field in Europe.
	Oh, they're shutting the whole thing down.
	They're mothballing the whole thing.
	Yeah, that's why I went there.
	So I was on Jordan Peterson wearing this poncho.
	And I was with Ava Vlardingerbrook on the show.
	And I think I said on a show, I'm pretty sure I said on a show, that I thought that Groningen would be shut down, right?
	I'm pretty sure I said that.
	And now it has been shut, right?
	So I've asked a lot of people in Netherlands, I mean not just local people or something, but actual experts that would know, will they ever open Groening again?
	And every single one of them is like, no, no chance.
	We don't see it open.
	That's members of the government telling me that, people in the energy sector and that sort of thing.
	It's gone.
	That's the largest gas deposit in Europe.
	It's huge.
	They're sitting on an energy goldmine, and cheap energy is what allows your country to grow.
	And right now, the fact that Europe doesn't have the industry to produce artillery, tanks, military aircraft to fight Russia, as Macron always wants to fight Russia, but Western Europe can't produce anything because they commit energy suicide.
	I mean, it's just like morons in charge, you know?
	Yeah.
	That's why the big information war in Japan, to make them keep those nuke plants closed as long as possible, right?
	I've talked with members of the Diet before.
	I'm like, you know, you should, again, that's the Japanese parliament.
	You know, I'll tell them things like, you need to come fly around the world with me for a couple weeks, and I'll show you a few things.
	And you'll come back to Japan and look at it with a new plan.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, totally.
	I mean, this is...
	I mean, when you look, because you have to leave your borders.
	You have to get out there and see how this is shaping up globally.
	And the things that are happening to you, like Japanese seem to think, I mean, a lot of Americans think about Japan.
	They would never allow this weaponized migration to happen in Japan.
	Well, I assure you they will.
	About four days ago, Misako Ganaha and I were eating in a Kurdish restaurant in Japan.
	And it's a whole Kurdish part of Japan there now, in Saitama Prefecture.
	It's a little town.
	It's a town called Kawagawa.
	Kawaguchi, right?
	Anyway, actually, they're starting to call it Kurdistan or Kawastan.
	Kawa in Japanese means river.
	So they're starting to call it Kawastan.
	But I was there.
	I love Kurds.
	I've been out with Kurds a lot in Iraq and Tennessee and Thailand.
	Kurds are all over the world.
	Kurds actually have the largest diaspora in the world, I've read.
	I have no way to audit that.
	But I get along with Kurds absolutely swimmingly.
	Great.
	Now, let me say something about that.
	About 20, more than 20 years ago, when I was in Iraq, and I was going to go up with the Kurds, just go up there alone with Yazidis and Kurds.
	And so, you know, before I went out with them, I started studying up with them more and more.
	And I realized that there were a lot of, the Kurds were communicating a lot with Israelis in English, online, right?
	There was one particular website where the Israelis were giving the Kurds A lot of advice, for instance, the ones in Tennessee.
	There's a lot of Kurds in Germany and Tennessee.
	That's why when I'm with Kurds, I'm often speaking German, because a lot of Kurds speak German, as many as who speak English.
	So sometimes I find Kurds who speak German but not English.
	So we rap in German, right?
	But the bottom line is, these Israelis...
	And Jewish people were teaching the Kurds how to not just come over to Tennessee and Germany, but how to basically seize the cockpit.
	Who to form relationships with, where to start getting yourself elected, get into the school boards, and these other things.
	They're teaching them how to take over, right?
	Because one thing that a lot of people don't realize, and I just said this again at the Japanese diet recently, is that the Kurds And the Zionists, they see the Kurds as a lost tribe of Israel.
	Not the Zionists, but the Jews.
	Many of the Jews realize that the...
	Because many Zionists are not Jewish.
	But anyway, not to get into that rabbit hole, but the bottom line is that...
	Many people see the Kurds as a lost tribe of Israel, and many Kurds see themselves that as well.
	So I was telling the Japanese, I'm like, what you're actually seeing here is a very close ally, actually with Zionists, right?
	So this is what I want to repeat.
	The Kurdish diaspora is said to be the largest diaspora in the world.
	They're all over the place.
	And they are highly smart.
	They are very serious people.
	And they are an extension Of the Zionists, believe it or not.
	And many Kurds may not realize that, but it's easy to see if you pay attention to what I'm saying and then start doing a little bit of study.
	So I told that to members of the Diet in Japan publicly and privately and others.
	And now there's a Japanese journalist who's been writing about the Kurdish In Japan, and he's being sued now.
	He's actually being sued for what I'm told is defamation.
	I haven't met with him yet.
	We've been in contact to meet with him.
	He's very busy with his lawsuits.
	So, I mean, he's just been saying what...
	So, when we were just in this Curtis restaurant, I love their food, by the way.
	There was actually a Trojan horse picture up on the wall, and I was like...
	Oh, wow.
	Very symbolic, huh?
	Could be a coincidence, you know?
	And I said to Misako, I'm like, hmm.
	You know, when I was in Special Forces, by the way, when I was in Green Beret, I was in 10th Special Forces Group, right?
	And our actually emblem for the 10th Special Forces Group is a Trojan horse.
	Really?
	Oh, yeah, it's a Trojan horse because what we were training, or my two teams that I was on, We're training to parachute into Poland and conduct operations behind enemy lines.
	We never did it, but for three years I trained to do nothing but parachute into Poland.
	That's why I went to language school for German and Polish, right?
	And then I lived in Poland for two years after the Army, not in the Army, but when I was Yeah, isn't it?
	isn't it?
	And very few people have seen as much of the world as you have, and nor do they have this big picture perspective that you bring to us.
	And we're out of time for today, but I got to say, I'm so honored that you're taking the time with us here today, that you've got this big picture perspective.
	You got a lot of common sense, a lot of practical knowledge about how the world works, what's gone wrong and how we can fix it, frankly.
	And I want to give out your website again, michaelyan.com.
	And there on the top right is the link.
	You can support Michael.
	And then also, Michael Yan makes a very strong appearance in this movie, 17milesmovie.com, and you can go there and watch the trailer right here, and you can see Michael Yan and Ann Vandersteel in the film.
	Well, Michael, let me know when you're coming back to Texas.
	We'll get you back in the studio with some superfoods and whatever other fun gifts we can come up with.
	I always like to make sure that you leave here with something.
	It's like, here, have some food.
	Have some Health Ranger snacks or whatever.
	Have a knife, you know?
	I really can't take the knife.
	I really appreciate it.
	You know, I checked the other day.
	There's direct flights from Tokyo to Dallas and Houston.
	Really?
	I was hoping for one to Austin.
	Yeah, if it was to Austin, I was going to ask you to pick me up at the airport.
	I'd be happy to do that, but I guess there's no flights to Austin.
	Well, that's all right.
	Whenever you get back, let me know, and we'll get you and your colleagues in the studio for some additional updates.
	In the meantime, I'm going to keep my eyes on Texas Governor Abbott, because I don't know what...
	He hasn't said that these students have committed any crime, so what's he going to throw them in jail under?
	What charge?
	Yeah.
	Blood libel charge, which will probably be in the...
	Somebody threw that at me yesterday.
	I'm like, dude, stop.
	I actually blocked one of my financial supporters about two days ago.
	Because he hits me instantly with the, oh, you're anti-Jew, anti-Semite, for not wanting to do the genocide, right?
	Right.
	I'm like, this is absurd.
	I said, sir, you're walking a thin line here.
	You know what I mean?
	I know you've been a great supporter.
	I will not be bought, and I will not be intimidated.
	Don't hit me with this stuff.
	And he kept hitting me with it, and I was like, that's it.
	I don't need your money, and I don't need your mouth.
	You know, you're out.
	Yep, you're fiercely independent.
	That's what people love about you, and that's why I encourage people to help support you.
	There's no government paying your way.
	There's no giant corporation paying your way.
	You're not even selling wool ponchos yet, although I think you should.
	You should.
	But you're raising money from donors and paying your own way, but you're doing really important work for all of us, so thank you.
	I'm doing it for all of us.
	I mean, this is my tribe, you know?
	And for some reason, despite all the things that I've seen in this world, I still really like people.
	I was just walking with Misako last night in Taipei, and I'm like, you know, despite all the things that we've seen together, which is quite a lot now, as you can see, I still like people, and I don't even know why, because I've seen this in our darkest.
	But I do, and I feel compelled to protect, you know, What's right, you know?
	And I don't know why it's just deep down inside.
	And I can see that's the same with you.
	It's clearly the same with you.
	And so you stick by that true north of the principles, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, if I were walking around Taipei, I'd be really thrilled right now, too, because I would feel very comfortable.
	I mean, I love the people of Taiwan.
	They're so friendly.
	They're friendly to Americans, too, which is not a universal trait.
	Oh, they're very friendly, very friendly to Americans.
	I feel incredibly welcome here.
	I feel more welcome here than I do in most parts of the United States.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Yeah, I'd be freaked out walking through a blue city, but if I go to Taipei, I'm like, oh, this is awesome.
	This feels more at home, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	In countries like this, I don't feel like I need a gun, you know what I mean?
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, that's the thing.
	In Taiwan, you really don't need a gun for the same self-defense purposes that you do in a U.S. city.
	But, you know, Taiwan does have very strong gun control, too, but it's an island.
	They can actually control the guns, you know?
	It's hard to get guns into Taiwan.
	Yeah, actually, you know, I was walking yesterday and I jumped in to get a haircut.
	As you can see, this is shiny and new.
	And the guy cutting my hair, he actually brought that up just kind of out of the blue, actually.
	He talked about, because he knew I was American, he was, oh, welcome to Taiwan and that sort of thing.
	And he's like, you know, he actually brought up guns.
	He goes, you know, we don't actually have guns, but we have very, very few murders because anytime there is a murder, the TV is just everybody's talking about their murder and we find them instantly because this is an island.
	And so people don't want to commit crimes much because there's nowhere to go.
	You know, it's not like you can disappear into the woodwork.
	Yeah, and to get shot in Taiwan, you have to repeatedly piss off the wrong people, and usually they would give you warnings like, stop, you know?
	And if you keep doing it, you know, if you offend some criminal gang or something...
	You know, like the taxi cab driver gang control.
	Like, if you're running around destroying cabs all day, eventually you're probably going to get shot or stabbed.
	You probably deserve it, you know?
	Not going to work out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So anyway, Michael, thank you for joining me today.
	It's always a pleasure to speak with you, and have a great trip there in Taiwan.
	Thanks, Michael.
	I'll see you back in Texas.
	All right, we'll see you soon.

	It's so amazing to me to realize how so many conservatives and GOP members and now the governor of Texas, Governor Greg Abbott, they don't think the First Amendment applies to speech that's critical of Israel.
	So they want to have this special case where there's no free speech allowed if you're criticizing genocide, criticizing the Zionists.
	All of a sudden, according to Greg Abbott, it's a criminal act.
	He said that all the students should be thrown in jail.
	The students at the UT campus that are protesting against genocide.
	So throw them in jail for their speech because you don't like what they're saying?
	That's not just un-American.
	That's the antithesis of the Constitution of the state of Texas.
	That's anti-Texas.
	Texas is supposed to be a state that stands for freedom.
	Freedom and liberty.
	And of course, if you don't believe in freedom for others, even if you disagree with them, then you don't believe in the principle of freedom at all.
	Free speech, it's got to be universal, or it's not free speech by definition.
	And yet, right now, how many conservatives, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, are signing bills criminalizing anything that is deemed, quote, anti-Semitic, which is a worn-out, abused label that doesn't even technically apply?
	Because, you know, Semites include Arabs, by the way.
	So it's not anti-Semitic to say stop committing genocide against Arabs and Palestinians.
	It's actually anti-Semitic to bomb Palestinians and to commit genocide against the Arabs who are Semites, by definition.
	So it's just, it's insane.
	But when I moved to Texas, I thought I was moving to a state that had freedom.
	Now I realize that that was all just a facade.
	It's not even true.
	And now I realize the governor of the state of Texas is not actually Greg Abbott.
	It's Benjamin Netanyahu.
	Netanyahu rules Texas.
	And we didn't even elect him.
	Netanyahu rules Texas, tells Abbott what to do, and Abbott dutifully complies and violates the First Amendment rights of students who are completely unarmed, completely nonviolent, simply because they're saying something like, from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.
	Which is not a call for violence.
	It's a call for freedom.
	It's the kind of call for freedom that created the great state of Texas.
	Texas wanted to be free.
	The people of Texas wanted to be free.
	Now, the governor of Texas wants to suppress the voices of freedom.
	Why should the Palestinians live under the oppressive terror regime of the Zionists, the fake Israelites, not even historically real Israel?
	Why should the people of Palestine Suffer and be bombed and killed and arrested and held for years without trial or charge and organ harvesting and all the rest of it that goes along with that.
	Does Governor Abbott agree with all of that?
	He seems to be going along with it.
	Anything will be done in Texas to protect Israel's crimes against humanity, even if you have to call out the National Guard, the state troopers, the Austin police, whatever it takes.
	Anything to suppress any voice critical of Israel.
	That's not the spirit of Texas.
	That's the spirit of, you know, the Soviet Union or something.
	The spirit of a communist regime.
	And by the way, these brutal tactics against the students at UT, it won't even work because all you do is you make them stronger.
	It's the same way, you know, Israel bombing the smithereens out of Gaza does not destroy Hamas.
	It actually makes Hamas stronger because it allows Hamas to recruit more people more easily because everybody's been victimized by Israel.
	By bombing Gaza, Israel is generating more enemies of Israel.
	Just like by arresting students, The governor of Texas is making more people hate law enforcement in Texas.
	I feel sorry for the law enforcement members who were dispatched to do this job.
	It's like, wow, they put you in a bad situation, didn't they?
	You know, it's one more reason not to take orders from a government that is itself violating the Constitution.
	Those are unconstitutional orders.
	You know, go in there and arrest all the students.
	What's their crime?
	Well, their crime is they criticize Israel.
	Well, that's protected speech, Mr.
	Governor.
	That's protected speech.
	There's no special cutout in the Texas Constitution to protect the terror state of Israel that's committing war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and genocide against the Palestinian people.
	Sorry, I don't see that anywhere in the Texas Constitution, and I've looked.
	I've had a lot of great things to say about the state of Texas over the years, and I do love the state of Texas, which I call my home.
	I love the fact that Texas protects the Second Amendment.
	I love the fact that Texas has its own sustainable energy infrastructure and isn't afraid to use oil and gas as God intended to help grow food and create abundance in society.
	I love the fact that Texas has its own power grid, and occasionally it even works.
	Not in 2021, but most other years it works.
	And they've made some improvements since the big freeze.
	No, there's a lot of great things about Texas.
	I love the Texas attitude.
	The Texas people are wonderful.
	I'm friends with a lot of Texas law enforcement, just amazing people.
	Texas tends to have strong ethics and strong morals.
	And that's why I'm pointing this out here today.
	It is contradictory to the fundamental values of the great state of Texas to unleash military-style troops on students at University of Texas, Austin, just because you don't like what they're saying.
	That is not the kind of action that Texas stands for, and it is an abomination that Governor Abbott Would unleash that action.
	And I think the state of Texas is going to be sued and should be sued because that action is blatantly, again, unconstitutional, violates the civil rights of the students.
	And you don't have to agree with the students and what they believe in or what they're chanting.
	All you have to agree with is their right to say whatever they want to say.
	They're not there calling to murder anybody.
	Unlike Israelites and Zionists, they're openly calling to murder everybody who disagrees with them.
	Just openly, right out in the open.
	Even Netanyahu just, you know...
	He quotes the Bible and Amalek and he just says commit genocide against all these people.
	And so do all his military commanders.
	They just openly state it.
	That's why the International Court of Justice has said there is probable cause for the genocide legal case against Israel to proceed.
	Because it is more likely than not that Israel is committing genocide.
	That's what the ICJ has already said.
	You would think that Governor Abbott of Texas would recognize that and would not side with genocidal war criminals.
	But he is.
	He is.
	Makes you wonder how this is all going to wash out at some point, right?
	Is Governor Abbott going to end up on the genocide side of history?
	It seems so.
	It's kind of like in 1946, you didn't want a photo to emerge of you shaking hands with Adolf Hitler.
	Well, I'll tell you this, in 2027, you don't want any ties to come out about you taking orders from Netanyahu, the convicted war criminal.
	Netanyahu is the Adolf Hitler of our modern day.
	He's carrying out a Holocaust.
	It's not on the same scale as the Holocaust of World War II, but it's the same in degree.
	The evil, the insidiousness, the...
	Absolute deliberate destruction of masses of human lives.
	The attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group.
	That's the evil that Netanyahu is carrying out.
	And anybody tied to Netanyahu, they may be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court.
	You know, what Governor Abbott is doing in Texas may be considered a crime by the ICC. It is certainly unconstitutional and is certainly a violation of civil rights.
	But it's interesting that the Biden regime...
	They're stuck on this issue no matter what.
	They don't want the student protests to happen because, well, the student protests are causing voters, young voters to turn away from Genocide Joe.
	And so by crushing the protests at UT, Governor Abbott is playing right into the hands of the Democrats.
	It's like there's no difference between what Governor Abbott is doing and what Democrats would do.
	They both want to shut down these pro-Palestine voices, voices for peace.
	You know, I mean, these aren't voices calling for the extermination of Israel, for the most part.
	There might be a few fringe people that are calling for that.
	The slogan from the river to the sea just means we want to have our own homeland.
	We want to have our own country called Palestine.
	We want to be a free people, self-governing people.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	And it was all their land before the European Jews slapped on the Israel camouflage and then invaded Palestine in 1948 and began the slaughter and the mass looting and stealing of land and resources and water and mass murder.
	The Nakba, and that's been going on ever since.
	So there's a crime against humanity starting in 1948, the Nakba.
	And it has continued to this day.
	And any American governor or senator who is going along with that is going to be exposed as being complicit in genocide.
	But I can't explain why Governor Abbott would want to help Joe Biden and crush these voices of dissent.
	If Abbott were smart, he would just be hands-off and say, yeah, these protesters have the right to speak.
	And the protests would go on and they would get louder and they would grow and more and more people would turn away from Joe Biden, genocide Joe, and they would either not vote for Biden or maybe they would switch over and vote for Trump.
	You would think that Governor Abbott, a Trump supporter, would want that to happen.
	But no, he's playing right into the hands of the radical left by brutalizing the students on camera and actually proving to the left That police brutality is a very real thing.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	Why would you unleash this conflict and generate all kinds of video archives that are now being spread all over the world showing Texas police brutality against unarmed students?
	Why would you do that?
	You've got to be an idiot to do that.
	Now you've just created a lot more anti-police sentiment across society and especially across universities and the left.
	And you know how that's going to translate?
	More defunding of police.
	Yeah.
	So, in all the blue-controlled cities, and almost every city in Texas is controlled by the blue, you know, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, it's all controlled by blue.
	You know, not to mention San Marcos and some of the other university towns.
	They're going to defund police.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a suicide mission on their own part because then they're going to have exploding crime.
	But members of law enforcement will lose their jobs and Texas will be less secure.
	And you'll end up with more violent crime, more lootings, more home invasions, more rapes, more carjackings.
	So Governor Abbott just made Texas a less safe place to live.
	Think about that.
	If you're listening to this and thinking about moving to Texas, as so many people have been doing recently, You know, check your checklist there.
	Do you want to move to a state that is a militant theocracy run by Netanyahu, a war criminal?
	Because that's what Texas has become.
	Do you want to move to a state where it's not safe because the police are defunded in all the blue cities because of all the anti-police sentiment that was provoked by Governor Abbott?
	Not a good situation.
	You know, I thought all this time Governor Abbott was a friend of freedom.
	I thought he was a friend of the Constitution.
	Now I realize he's been bought off by the Zionists.
	He's all in with the Zionists.
	He will do whatever the Zionists tell him to do, whether it's legal or not.
	That's frightening.
	Now it's not too late for him to extricate himself from this nightmare scenario that he has thrust upon us all.
	He could just back off, stop the arrest, let the students protest, let them have their tents.
	I mean, come on, seriously, who are they hurting?
	They're not hurting anybody.
	Let the students march around campus.
	You know, who cares?
	Tell law enforcement to just back down.
	I mean, don't let them set, you know, police cars on fire.
	Of course, Black Lives Matter does that all day and nobody stops them ever.
	But don't let them, you know, commit all kinds of property damage or harming people.
	But don't sit there and go full brutality on these students.
	That's the wrong sign, the wrong message, and it's anti-Texas, frankly.
	It's just going to make the situation far worse.
	So those are my thoughts on the subject.
	You can post your comments beneath this video on brighteon.com.
	And be sure to check out my website, naturalnews.com.
	And look, I'm an equal opportunity critic.
	Of anybody that is on the wrong side of this because I have principles.
	I'm not a tribal person.
	I'm not in with the Republican tribe or the Democrat tribe or the Zionist tribe.
	I'm not tribal.
	I run my life based on principles.
	And I judge others based on their adherence to the very principles that are necessary for human society to be sustainable and to be peaceful.
	And when I see anybody, Republican, Democrat, or otherwise, violating the principles of freedom and liberty and peace and the United States Constitution, I will call them out.
	Governor Abbott has violated the United States Constitution and the Texas Constitution.
	In brutally assaulting these students.
	And this may cost him the election, actually.
	The next election for the governor.
	He might be voted out.
	And at this point, I can't vote for him myself.
	So I'm not going to vote for a Democrat.
	Because I don't vote for evil.
	But I also don't vote for unprincipled Zionists who violate the U.S. Constitution.
	So I'll just sit that one out.
	Thank you for listening.
	God bless America.
	God bless Texas.
	Take care.
	Alright, let's talk about some solutions for preparedness and survival based on what's happening in the world.
	Things are getting completely out of control, as you know.
	And some of these are sponsors, some of these are free.
	I'm going to give you some free tools here as well.
	First thing, show the camera on my desk here.
	This is all collapsed currency from all over the world.
	Trillions of dollars.
	Dollars worth of collapsed currency and then here's fake Hollywood currency of $100 bills.
	This is all going to zero.
	I mean, some of this is already zero.
	But even dollars are going to zero.
	This is the solution.
	These are called goldbacks.
	This is a 50 goldback bill.
	It's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold is embedded in the bill.
	And that's why it's so thick.
	And they have smaller denominations like the one goldback here.
	I could hold it right side up.
	This is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold, and we've done the laboratory testing, and you can find it at our affiliate website called verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	If you want real, physical gold that's highly divisible and has high utility, this is the solution, verifiedgoldbacks.com, and if you scroll through here, you can see all of our lab testing that we did.
	We actually melted them down, and we did all kinds of tests for the purity, And the mass of the gold that's in these bills.
	And check out the different designs here.
	Let's see if we can show that.
	We've got different designs of different amounts of gold that are embedded in the bills.
	There's a 50 that I showed you, and then there's a 25, a 5, a 10, and 1s as well.
	Really an amazing solution.
	Now, other things to keep in mind.
	We've got storable food right now at healthrangerstore.com.
	I've got some on my desk here showing you also the IOSAT iodine, the potassium iodide, excuse me, prevention of the radiation damage to your thyroid.
	That's all FDA approved there, the IOSAT product.
	We've also got dietary supplement iodine there as well as the We've got the heavy cream, all certified organic, laboratory tested, back in stock, plus the red miso, the yellow miso, and white cheddar cheese powder, which is just pure organic cheddar cheese.
	No fillers, no colors, no garbage in it of any kind.
	You can find all of that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Now, continuing with our topic of preparedness, our sponsor in the satellite phone space is the Satellite Phone Store.
	You can find them at sat123.com.
	Connects you here to the Satellite Phone Store.
	And these are emergency backup comms devices that work even if the cell towers go down or if the power grid goes down.
	And they have packages with the bivvy sticks, with Faraday bags, and pre-installed software on a mobile device that protects your privacy because it doesn't talk to the cell towers.
	It just talks through the satellites.
	You can send and receive text messages and you can let people know you're okay or you can have emergency contacts that are successful through that mechanism.
	Here's something that I don't talk about enough, but there's a company called ShieldArms.com that has a new product, which is the S10 Grip Chop.
	As you can see here, this is a chopped-off grip.
	Of a Glock 43X. Now, show camera one.
	This is my Glock 43X right here.
	That's if I can get on camera.
	And so as you can see, the magwell, you know, this is a pretty long designation right here.
	You know, it can stick out if you're trying to do concealed carry.
	But if you go to shieldarms.com, they have their Grip Chop S10 firearm, which is available right now.
	And it's a shorter...
	It's a grip that allows it to be more easily concealed, but yet it takes full-size magazines.
	And then Shield Arms has their custom steel mags.
	Actually, that's what I've got right here.
	This is the Shield Arms magazine.
	It's vastly superior to clock mags.
	It holds more rounds.
	And it's more durable.
	So this is the best setup.
	You can get these mags and you can get these grip chop pistols at shieldarms.com.
	Of course, all federal laws apply.
	You have to transfer through an FFL and so on.
	Obey your local and national laws in order to do this.
	But this allows you to be ultra-concealable in carrying this outstanding firearm, the Glock 43X. And I think you can use discount code Ranger there to save 10% off that firearm.
	They may still have that code active.
	I'm not entirely sure.
	Now, continuing with some more preparedness items, right here, brighteon.ai.
	This is our free downloadable artificial intelligence language model.
	We are training this on an extensive amount of information on food, herbs, nutrition, off-grid living, but also survival and preparedness.
	It's non-commercial, it's open source, it's free to use.
	You just enter your email address here, click register, and you'll be given access to a download page, and we're releasing new models all the time, including a 7 billion parameter model that is trained on all of this survival and prepping and nutrition content.
	Nobody else in the world has models like this.
	In addition, we have a backup comms social media platform that we've just launched called Brighteon.io.
	And if you go to that website, brighttown.io, you can sign up.
	You can see that it's a big social media type of site.
	The thing is, see, it's got free speech videos.
	Here's a flat earth video.
	That's pretty funny.
	There's all kinds of videos here, all kinds of different viewpoints and opinions.
	Here's Dave Hodges here with a video.
	You can go there and you can share videos and content and there are no central servers.
	It's all peer-to-peer, decentralized, and it runs on blockchain.
	And it has its own blockchain coin here, actually, called Pcoin, which is modeled after Bitcoin, and it's kind of a reputation coin on the platform.
	Anyway, you can find out about that.
	Just go to brighttown.io.
	If you download the app and run it, then this will even survive the internet kill switch because it doesn't need to resolve domain names in order to function.
	So that's brighttown.io.
	And then, in terms of products that we have, guess what?
	We also have the knives that we've custom designed with Dawson knives here.
	This is one of our combat knives, and they're made with magna-cut steel, incredibly durable, high Rockwell hardness, they're flexible without shattering, they hold an edge, and they're almost corrosion-proof.
	That's the advantage of magna-cut steel.
	So yeah, if you see this, this is a G10 handle with an oversized finger guard here.
	This is a really incredible knife.
	And because it's got three holes here...
	Show camera one, let me show you this.
	Because it's got these three holes...
	See if I can get the light just right.
	Yeah.
	It's got this hole, this hole, and then this hole.
	You can use paracord and you can strap it to a stick and make a spear out of it.
	So this can be made into a spear relatively easily.
	We've got multiple knives from Dawson.
	That, of course, I'm the co-designer, and it's got a special wedge end here as well for escape and evasion.
	We are out of the escape from L.A. knife, but we do have this Tonto version that we're working on right now that we may come out with, and then we've got some other really amazing...
	Oh, that's another one of our combat knives, but we've got a bushcrafting knife as well that you can check out.
	Find all that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Bottom line, folks, we have a lot of preparedness solutions for you.
	Some of them are free, like brighttown.ai or brighttown.io, or you can use Brighttown Social or just brighttown.com.
	And then some of them, of course, cost money.
	Like if you're going to get your hands on gold, you know, it's going to cost you.
	You're going to pay for the gold.
	You're going to...
	Not everything is going to be free, obviously.
	So iodine, storable food, weapons of self-defense to defend and protect innocent life, these are the kinds of things that we are advocating very strongly right now at this time in history because of what's happening in the world, what's happening with the open borders, where we are domestically, with chaos and lawlessness getting worse in most cities across America, more illegals invading more states and counties.
	So be ready to defend yourself.
	And then, of course, the collapse of the dollar coming as well.
	It's accelerating every day.
	You're seeing it with food inflation.
	Now look at the cost of your car insurance, by the way.
	Look at that.
	It's skyrocketing.
	Health insurance, it's all skyrocketing.
	Things are getting more expensive because your dollar is worth less and less.
	Meanwhile, gold is absolutely skyrocketing.
	In fact, let me just bring up where gold is right now.
	23.84.
	Show my screen.
	I want to show the trend here.
	If you look at gold prices here, just over, what does that go back to?
	Like the end of October last year, gold was $1,837.
	Now, now it's almost $2,400.
	Look at that rise right there.
	Gold is skyrocketing in dollars because dollars are losing value.
	So people who are smart, who want to maintain their value of gold and silver...
	Well, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do, to hold value.
	Oh, I should mention, by the way, if you go to metalswithmike.com, this is our gold and silver coin sponsor, the Treasure Island Company.
	And you go there and you can request to talk with them or you can check their real-time prices right here.
	They'll give you the price quotes here.
	You can look at gold coins like U.S. Mint coins.
	Real-time pricing online.
	And they have discrete, secure, guaranteed delivery, insured.
	So check them out at metalswithmike.com.
	They are our gold and silver sponsor for the coins.
	So those are some of our sponsors, some of the solutions that we offer, some of the free things that are available to you.
	Whatever you do, make sure that you're getting prepared for what's coming.
	Grow more food.
	Save your garden seeds.
	Get more items at the grocery store that you can even stockpile that will last a longer period of time.
	Try to get out of the dollar into things that will hold value, whether it's gold and silver or something else.
	Maybe you're going to buy a piece of land.
	Maybe you're going to stock up on ammo or diesel fuel or something that holds value.
	But take action now because the world is becoming more chaotic.
	Time is running out.
	Thank you for supporting our sponsors and supporting this platform.
	We appreciate you.
	That keeps us going.
	It allows us to build the free tools that we're giving back to you, such as the AI tools as well as the Brighttown.io platform.
	But together, we can make it through all this, and then we'll be the ones who get to help rebuild society on the other side of the collapse of this current system.
	And it is collapsing.
	But get prepared now while you can, and thank you for all your support.
	I'm Mike Adams here of HealthRangerStore.com, as well as Brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
