	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Everything that you witnessed yesterday, all the events, and we're going to cover them, many significant things took place, are all part of a global civil war.
	Well, really, a revolt, a revolt of Trump and the Patriots against the globalist regime that is centered in London.
	This is all...
	A war.
	Again, everything, even the attacks on X, all the cyber attacks that took down Twitter on and off for a few hours yesterday.
	This was all coordinated, really, through Ukrainian IPs, but controlled by the British deep state.
	And never forget that the British deep state, MI6, and all their dirty actors, they...
	Put together the attack on Trump, the Russian dossier, all of that.
	And they helped rig the 2020 election against Trump.
	So, welcome to today's broadcast.
	I'm Mike Adams, and it is Tuesday, March 11, 2025. This is Brighteon Broadcast News.
	Of course, I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, founder of brighteon.com, publisher of naturalnews.com, and so much more.
	And the focus today is really trying to tie together this global war, this revolt against the globalists.
	Maybe that's the best way to call it, a patriot-led revolt against the globalists.
	Now, the globalists, again, out of London and the city of London, they have kept the United States under their thumb for a very long time, and they now have Canada under their thumb, again, with the new prime minister.
	They've got Ukraine under their thumb, Zelensky, and much of the nation and much of the world's financial systems and much of the deep state intelligence.
	And they are now engaged in a global sabotage operation.
	And jumping on board this are leftists and deep staters in America who are trying to make it hurt as much as possible to have Trump as president and to see all these government cuts.
	And here's the big strategy that's taking place.
	Now, of course, Marco Rubio just announced 83% of USAID has been shut down now.
	83% because it was nothing but fraud and waste.
	Frankly, illegal money laundering.
	And I hope all the people involved are prosecuted.
	But shutting down USAID or most of it and ending much of the fraud and abuse, you know, They're auditing the Pentagon, they're auditing Medicare, etc.
	There's a lot more that's yet to come out.
	The way the deep state wants to portray this to the American people is they want to make life as painful as possible so they can then say throughout the media, see, look what happens when you cut government.
	We need government to make things work.
	Got it?
	That's their ploy.
	In a nutshell, that's it.
	They're going to sabotage as much as possible.
	They're going to hurt the economy.
	They're going to defund police and cause a rise in violent crime.
	They're going to slaughter hundreds of millions of chickens and cause a nationwide egg shortage.
	They might bomb refineries and cause fuel shortages.
	Who knows what?
	At the end of the day, they're going to say, see, this is why you need big government to take care of you.
	See what happens when you cut government?
	So that's part of what we're watching.
	Have no illusions.
	The deep state is going to make this hurt as much as possible, and it's the global deep state.
	Because as part of this war, guess what just happened?
	Tulsi Gabbard, the DNI, Director of National Intelligence, she just pulled the security clearances of many of the top officials that were involved in the fake Russia collusion hoax against Trump.
	All of these officials, in my opinion, should be prosecuted and charged with treason.
	And maybe some of them will be, but here's the list of people from whom the security clearances were just stripped, which means they are essentially now unemployable in government.
	Antony Blinken.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Former Secretary of State.
	That guy's a treasonous actor.
	And I'm wondering...
	Where Mayorkas is, I mean, he needs to be on this list for different reasons, but Jake Sullivan, the former National Security Advisor, yeah, he was all part of the State Department.
	He helped run the whole Ukraine failed war, all the money laundering.
	Jake Sullivan had his fingers in all of it.
	He should be prosecuted for treason.
	Lisa Monaco, Biden's Deputy Attorney General.
	Letitia James, you know her, the New York Attorney General.
	Who committed lawfare attacks against Trump, just completely fabricated false charges, outrageous abuse of the rule of law.
	She should be prosecuted.
	Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA. His security clearances have also been pulled.
	Andrew Weissman.
	Yep.
	I think he was with the FBI at one point, but he was the prosecutor of the Mueller investigation.
	Mark Zaid.
	And Norm Eisen, also another key attorney who has been really helping the deep state commit lawfare against Trump and Trump's allies.
	Norm Eisen is extremely well known for his lawfare efforts.
	He was involved in the election rigging lawfare efforts also in 2020 and much more.
	So Tulsi Gabbard announces, quote, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for this whole list of people.
	Along with, she says, the 51 signers of Hunter Biden's disinformation letter.
	Remember that letter?
	Back right before the 2020 election and Hillary Clinton was touting it and saying, well, you know, these 51 intelligence officials all say that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation, which didn't even make grammatical sense.
	How could a laptop be disinformation?
	It doesn't even compute.
	The laptop was real.
	It was Hunter Biden's laptop.
	It contained all this damning evidence.
	How come Hunter Biden hasn't been, you know, arrested?
	Oh, yeah.
	And by the way, I know there was a pardon issued by Joe Biden for Hunter Biden, but have you heard about the auto pen scandal?
	So almost everything that Joe Biden signed, or he didn't really sign it, almost everything except for, I think, one, his resignation from running for office, everything else, Was auto-pen signed?
	Which may mean it's completely invalid, lawless, because the argument now from Bailey in Missouri, working with the DOJ, the argument is that Joe Biden never had the presence of mind to sign these documents, and it wasn't him signing them.
	It was whoever controlled the auto-pen.
	And whoever that person was, probably Jill Biden, was never elected.
	It was not president.
	You know, Joe Biden was the dictator in charge.
	He was running everything.
	And Joe Biden was completely out of his mind.
	Well, guess what?
	That's going to invalidate all the pardons.
	It's going to invalidate all the executive orders and all the laws that he supposedly signed.
	If maybe the Supreme Court would have to rule on this, if they ruled that, hey, Joe Biden didn't even sign these things.
	He didn't even have the presence of mind to sign them.
	He couldn't have known, number one, that he was signing anything, or number two, what he was signing.
	So there's that.
	That's the auto pen scandal, which is also breaking right now.
	This was all part of the revolt against the deep state.
	But now this yanking of security clearances from these 51 signers of the disinformation letter, this is absolutely huge.
	This shows that behind the scenes, well, I guess this is public, But deep undercover here, there are major, let's say, guided missiles being launched.
	This is one of them that Tulsi Gabbard just launched.
	It's absolutely huge.
	So yes, there is a patriot-led revolt against the globalists, and Trump and Vance and Elon Musk and Doge and some others are running that.
	And one of the allies of this effort is Georgescu.
	Who was the presidential frontrunner for Romania, and the government of Romania has banned him from running for office, claiming that, I mean, I mentioned this yesterday, claiming that he's just too radical to run for office.
	He's not allowed, because they don't like basically his anti-NATO message.
	He doesn't want to continue the war with Russia.
	He wants to protect Romania's borders against illegals, etc.
	Well, Romania, you know, the deep state there doesn't have any willingness to embrace those positions.
	So now Georgescu is out saying that the EU is a, quote, dictatorship that is under tyranny.
	He's not wrong.
	Now, the legal system in Romania claims that Georgescu is, quote, anti-democratic.
	Now, that's just the new term made up by the globalist deep state.
	To try to smear anybody that won't follow along with the deep state.
	So if you want to buck the system, they just say you're anti-democratic or you're a threat to democracy.
	Now just remember, any time leftists in America or globalists, when they speak of, quote, democracy, they don't mean it the way that you mean it.
	You and I think of democracy as, you know, we the people vote, and then the government represents our interests, right?
	That's democracy.
	That's not the way the globalists think of it.
	Or the Biden regime or the leftist in America.
	To them, democracy refers to the institutions of government that they control, such as USAID, such as rigging the elections, such as rigging the court system, controlling Congress, etc.
	Democracy to them really just means a power cabal.
	And if you are a threat to their power cabal, then they claim you're anti-democratic or you're a threat to democracy, right?
	So you have to understand.
	What leftists mean, what globalists mean when they say democracy.
	It's nothing at all what you and I understand it to be.
	So Georgescu says, quote, a direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide, this decision to ban him.
	He says, I have one message left.
	If democracy in Romania falls, the entire democratic world will fall.
	This is just the beginning.
	It's that simple.
	Europe is now a dictatorship.
	Romania is under tyranny.
	He posted that on X, by the way.
	All right?
	So he's not wrong.
	And we are looking at, as I covered yesterday, we're looking at a citizen's revolt against the globalist regime in London.
	And we're talking about a rural British revolt against elite overreach and elitist rule.
	I can see Europe being just sucked into a quagmire of civil war.
	Not just the UK, but also Romania here, as we're talking about.
	And also, there are elements of this in France.
	There are elements of this in Germany as well.
	And the question is, how long can the deep state globalists maintain their iron grip control through tyranny and censorship and banning candidates and essentially banning democracy?
	How long can they keep this up when the U.S. already blew up their energy supply?
	That was Nord Stream pipelines.
	And Trump is now pulling out of Ukraine, and Trump is pulling out of NATO, and Trump is pulling all the gold, I mean, indirectly, the gold out of the Bank of England and the LBMA. And there's a financial war that Jerome Powell is helping to lead from the Fed with Trump's help.
	There's a financial war against the British banking system.
	And the ultimate goal here, understand, I'm still going to connect a lot of dots, but understand the big picture here is that we the people win when the British Empire collapses and the British banking system collapses.
	Now, just to be clear, I'm not in any way opposed to the British people, especially the hard-working farmers.
	You know, the rural people and the pro-liberty people who are British citizens.
	I have nothing against them.
	In fact, they are with us on this very point.
	They hate their own government.
	You can't blame them.
	Look at how insane their government is.
	But the British government is a threat to the entire human race.
	The British government is trying to push us into a nuclear war with Russia because the British government has nothing left other than to create a new crisis.
	And then to try to grab power and profit from the crisis.
	That's all they have.
	None of their ideas work.
	I mean, this is just like the radical left in America.
	None of their ideas work.
	They have nothing left other than censorship, authoritarianism, and provoking war, creating a crisis, shutting down farms, and creating famine, waging a war against their own people.
	That's what's happening in the Romanian government as well, as the British government, and of course Macron in France, All the people in Germany, including Scholz and others.
	Much of Europe, not all of it, you know, we haven't talked about Poland, for example.
	We haven't talked about the Nordic states.
	You know, what's happening in Sweden?
	Not much is the answer.
	But the big picture changes that are happening are showing that Europe is now sort of the, this is the Alamo of the globalists.
	Who are being squeezed into an impossible situation.
	They can't defeat Russia.
	They can't defeat China.
	And they've lost the United States as an ally.
	And the overall goal of the Trump-led revolt with J.D. Vance and Trump and Elon Musk, etc.
	is to obliterate the British deep state.
	To take it down.
	And that would be a day of celebration for the entire world.
	If the British rulers are destroyed through this process, it would be a day of freedom for the world.
	So keep that in mind as we go through the rest of today's news.
	Now, you know that X was targeted in a deep state attack.
	Elon Musk stated on Fox Business that this was a massive cyber attack that originated in...
	Using IP addresses in the Ukraine area.
	Now, he says it was executed with, quote, a lot of resources and possibly carried out by a, quote, coordinated group and or a country.
	So I can tell you who this is.
	It's the UK. It's the UK acting through Ukraine and using resources, most likely that were paid for by U.S. taxpayers, you know, such as communications, networking and computers.
	This is all part of the information war, PSYOP, war operations that have come out of Ukraine for the last three years.
	You know, pushing all kinds of fake social media accounts on X. In fact, this is probably retaliation against Elon Musk banning a lot of the fake sock puppet accounts on X. There are more that still need to be banned, but he's banned a lot of them, including a lot of the Ukraine propaganda.
	Sock puppet accounts.
	And on top of that, Elon Musk is no fan of the British rulers.
	He's called them out.
	He's called out Keir Starmer.
	And Keir Starmer was former head of, what was it?
	Was that MI5, MI6? He was the top spook over there before he became prime minister.
	That guy is as dirty as they come.
	He needs to be politically taken out of the picture with the defeat of the City of London and British rule.
	And so Elon Musk is on top of that.
	And that's why this attack has targeted X. Now, at the same time, Tesla dealerships were also hit yesterday with coordinated protests.
	And the protests, some of the protesters were paid.
	laundered money that has come around to pay off protesters.
	And you know that all this USAID money and a lot of the Ukraine money has already been laundered, like literally over $100 billion of it.
	It's been laundered back into the hands of deep state operators who are Democrats in America or globalists in London.
	And they're using this money to wage war against America.
	And one of the ways they wage this war...
	It's to pay people to protest in front of Tesla dealerships.
	So yeah, that happened too.
	And then there's a big investigative story out of The Gray Zone.
	This story was written by Wyatt Reed, and the title is USAID-funded Ukraine group that smeared VP Vance as a pro-Russia propagandist.
	So in Ukraine, the U.S.-funded groups...
	Which defamed U.S. Vice President and members of Congress and U.S. journalists as foreign propagandists.
	And the same organization was training Ukrainians in psyop tactics.
	So this group, which was funded by USAID, was responsible for the online blacklist that named J.D. Vance and a whole lot of other people, named them as foreign propagandists.
	It was called MOLFAR, M-O-L-F-A-R. This website was condemning Vance and others.
	It's described as an open-source intelligence agency, and it partnered with USAID and the U.S. Civil Research and Development Fund, the CRDF. So they took money from the U.S. to smear our vice president.
	I mean, this is rich, right?
	This is rich.
	So understand that Ukraine has been not only a slush fund money laundering operation for the West, for the UK and the US, under Biden, of course, but it was also a massive propaganda operation and Ukraine hosted illegal bioweapons laboratories that were used in some of the research that Fauci was involved in over the years, by the way.
	So this is a giant...
	Information war, PSYOP, propaganda operation that's just been exposed.
	The full report on this is at thegrayzone.com, which Max Blumenthal is also a writer there, and it's a really informative website.
	I strongly recommend that you check it out.
	There's a lot more to that story.
	We're going to cover it also at Natural News, and we'll be citing that story.
	And then there's other breaking news about a Doge protester outside of a Tesla store that admits that he was paid to be there.
	Let's see if we can take a look at that video.
	Yeah, I get paid to be out here.
	You get paid to be out here?
	Yeah.
	Amazing.
	So it's unpacked.
	You really are getting paid for this?
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Oh, definitely.
	I'm 100% I'm getting paid for this.
	All right, there you see him saying, admitting on camera, even though the camera was undercover.
	Admitting that he's paid.
	He's paid to be there.
	Of course he is.
	And that's all slush fund money.
	And that same kind of money will be used by the Democrats in the midterm elections in order to pay off election thieves and election vote observers and the people that run the ballots.
	Look, if the Republicans can't get rid of the voting machines by the time the midterms roll around, then the Democrats are just going to...
	Cheat and steal their way back into power.
	They will always do that.
	They still have enough slush fund money sitting around to achieve that.
	So Trump and Vance and the whole team, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, the FBI, Pam Bondi, they have got to put the pedal to the metal.
	They have got to go full force and keep just full speed ahead on this.
	And, by the way, I spoke with a member of Congress earlier and was asking him, you know, what's the vibe in D.C.? Well, they're not in D.C. right now, but I think they're going back in two weeks.
	But I said, what's the vibe among the House with all these government cuts?
	And I'm paraphrasing, but he said there's a strong feeling of, you know, Even euphoria, patriotism, like even astonishment that there's so much getting done so quickly.
	It's taking them all by surprise.
	But, I mean, that's our feeling too, right?
	A lot of this that's happening is taking me by surprise.
	But I just want to reemphasize to Trump and Vance and Gabbard and all of them and Bondi, pedal to the metal, full speed ahead.
	The clock is absolutely ticking.
	If you can't stop the election rigging before the midterms, then we're going to lose everything again.
	So the arrests have to come.
	And Michael Jan sent me a funny meme today.
	It was an overhead, like a satellite map of what used to be the Gulf of Mexico and now is named the Gulf of America.
	But the map named it the Gulf of Nobody Has Been Arrested Yet.
	And it's like, yeah, good reminder.
	Nobody has been arrested yet.
	Not anybody in any high position.
	Where are the arrests for the treasonous actors?
	Now, maybe the answer is, well, it takes time.
	You've got to gather evidence.
	It's going to take months.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, but I think if you really want to arrest them, it doesn't take months.
	I think you can arrest them.
	I mean, I think you've got the evidence.
	I think you can make a lot of arrests right now and you can hold them as, you know, enemy combatants, people who committed treason against this nation.
	And you can hold them under those charges.
	Now, of course, I think they should have access to attorneys and, you know, they have a right to their own defense and a fair trial, which is something they never granted Trump or Alex Jones, for that matter, or any Trump supporters never get fair trials.
	Team Trump has got to keep going full speed ahead.
	The clock is ticking.
	Time is running out.
	Now, I just mentioned Alex Jones.
	And I'm sorry to have to report to you, perhaps you've heard, but two nights ago, the top InfoWars writer who wrote articles for InfoWars.com, Jamie White, was murdered.
	Just outside his apartment, In Austin, a city run by extreme radical leftist liberals who have defunded police and they've turned their city into a shithole.
	You know, there's no other way to say it.
	That's what Austin has become.
	Most of us who live in rural Texas, we never go to Austin.
	We avoid it.
	Because, well, people get murdered there.
	There are certain streets you drive near and it's just like homeless druggies spilling out into the streets.
	It looks like a third world country in parts of Austin.
	And last time I was there was, I forgot, it was a while ago.
	Well, I don't know.
	Occasionally there's some kind of errand or something that has to be done in Austin.
	But the last time I remember driving through a big part of it, there were...
	Shantytown tents underneath all the overpasses of the highways.
	Now, I don't know if that's been banned or cleared out or what, but when I was there last, that's what I saw.
	It was like a third world country.
	And this is what happens when liberals run things, okay?
	Democrats, when they run things, they destroy them.
	And everything turns to crap.
	So, Jamie White...
	Who was a really celebrated writer and a real warrior for human freedom.
	He was attacked and murdered, and I don't know the details.
	And Alex Jones has already publicly stated this, and it's been covered publicly, and Jamie's family has already been alerted to this.
	So I want to be sensitive to that.
	Even though I'm an occasional fill-in host for Alex, I never spoke with Jamie, not to my knowledge, other than maybe saying hi here and there, because he was working so hard.
	I mean, even when I'm there in the InfoWars offices, it's not a social gathering.
	We are there to get things done.
	Everybody's working hard there, from the producers and the people in the studio room, the people running the boards and everything, and they're writers.
	At their desks.
	And their heads are down and they're busy.
	And I try not to bother them.
	And it saddens me greatly to know that this man was murdered and he was such a great asset for human freedom.
	And we don't know the circumstances of his murder.
	And I don't want to speculate too much just out of...
	You know, sensitivity to the emotional difficulty of the situation.
	But there is suspicion among many of us that this was not a random attack.
	There's suspicion, and I'm not going to take it any further than this, but there's concern, there's suspicion that perhaps he was followed or targeted because of what he does.
	Because he's a...
	Champion for human freedom and liberty.
	And I don't know the details.
	I would say check Infowars and Alex Jones today or tomorrow.
	Maybe he'll have more details.
	He will certainly talk about it if they learn anything more.
	But given all the things that happened on this day, and given that the globalists are running a sabotage operation, basically we are all suffering under a global terrorism campaign.
	And given how desperately the deep state, which was caught on camera thanks to James O'Keefe, admitting that they unleashed lawfare to try to destroy InfoWars, and yet they failed to shut InfoWars down, given all the things they've done to InfoWars, how much they paid former employees to make up false smears to go into the media, how much they terrorized...
	The so-called jury and maybe they paid off the judge in Connecticut because he didn't get a fair trial at all.
	He didn't even get a jury trial.
	Alex didn't.
	But given all the lawfare and the deep state operations against Infowars, I wouldn't put it past these people to try to sabotage operations by targeting Infowars employees.
	And so...
	All of us are on the lookout right now.
	Of course, we're on yellow alert status.
	Of course, I'm always armed every day anyway.
	I don't know if Jamie was armed.
	I don't know if he was surprise attacked.
	I have no idea.
	But I'm always armed.
	I'm very secure-minded.
	I've got my security dog with me and other surprises.
	And look, anybody...
	Tries to do that to me, they're going to bleed.
	There's going to be a lot of their blood on the ground and maybe a limb or two before it's all over.
	And if you see, running away from that scene, an armless, screaming man whose arm sockets are now bloody pulps, well, that's my dog.
	That's what my dog's doing.
	And he's fully capable of doing that, and I train with him every single day, literally every day.
	So, you know, I guess you couldn't run very far without arms if you're just bleeding out, but certainly you can't run far enough to get out of range of my rifle, so, you know, good luck.
	And I would just urge everybody who's in alternative media right now to be extremely vigilant.
	If you don't carry a concealed weapon, why not?
	I mean, I've carried for 30 years now, literally every day.
	And spare mags on top of that, of course.
	Otherwise, what's the point?
	You need to carry.
	And you need to practice.
	And you need to know how to handle a firearm.
	And you need to be on the lookout.
	Because, look, the globalist deep state is waging...
	A terrorist operation against the United States of America.
	They are going to target Trump officials.
	They're going to target...
	I mean, how many death threats has Elon Musk endured himself, even from members of Congress, for God's sake?
	But this globalist deep state, they're going to target maybe independent media.
	We know they're going to target Elon Musk.
	They're going to target Tesla dealerships.
	They're probably going to firebomb a Tesla.
	I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
	They're going to go after infrastructure.
	And if you don't believe me, look at all the chickens they've slaughtered.
	So that was a Biden administration deep state special there.
	It had nothing to do with bird flu.
	It had everything to do with causing food inflation, food scarcity, and food panic among the American people.
	That's all that was.
	They murdered...
	Over 150 million living chickens.
	Chickens have personalities, by the way.
	I have a bunch of them.
	And there are some notable characters in the chickens, especially the roosters.
	They have personalities.
	Believe me.
	But chickens are alive.
	I mean, obviously, they're living creatures.
	It's so cruel to slaughter them all just for a political purpose to cause a food shortage.
	But that's what the Democrats did.
	That's what the deep state does.
	And, you know, thank God that under Trump, the USDA, I believe, has announced now they're not going to do this mass vaccination of the chickens.
	I don't have all details, but as I understand it, you know, they're not going to mass vaccinate the chickens.
	And they're not going to just keep slaughtering all the chickens.
	It doesn't work, and it's just a sabotage operation.
	Anyway.
	You know, this is funny.
	I just happened to be looking at X here, and I saw the headline that Alex Jones is using for his live broadcast.
	Breaking live, World War III between Team Humanity.
	The populist versus the globalist death cult is now in full swing, and Donald Trump is our leader.
	Okay, see, I did not see that headline before I started recording this podcast, but...
	Alex is saying exactly the same thing that I'm saying.
	I think his headline is just more compelling than what I was saying.
	I was saying this is a patriot-led revolt against the globalist deep state, right?
	And Alex Jones says it's World War III between Team Humanity, the populace, versus the death cult globalists.
	Okay.
	Yeah, Alex gets it.
	It's amazing how many times Alex and I are on the same wavelength without ever talking to each other.
	I rarely ever talk to Alex or text him.
	I virtually have no communication with Alex because usually when I'm there in the studio, he's not there because I'm filling in because he's gone.
	So I almost never talk to Alex, but yet we're thinking the same way on so many things.
	This is one of those.
	It's very clear now.
	This is a, well, this is World War III, but not with Russia, not with nukes.
	This is World War III between the populace, Team Humanity, and the globalists, which is the headquarters is right there in London.
	I'm telling you, it's in London.
	It's the British deep staters that are running this whole thing.
	And that's why Trump is at war against the British rulers.
	And he should be.
	And they should be defeated.
	All right, now, on top of that, now the stock market, of course, dropped, I think, 4%, something like that.
	And that looks like an attack as well.
	Because with all the slush fund money controlled by the deep state, they can manipulate a lot of market activity.
	They can manipulate gold and silver prices to some extent.
	They can manipulate crypto.
	Bitcoin took a big hit.
	This is all a financial terrorism operation to try to take down the appearance of wealth in America and to cause panic among the people.
	Who will then, the globalists hope, they will turn around and blame Trump.
	This is really, maybe this should just be called Operation Make It Hurt.
	You know?
	Operation Make It Hurt.
	Like, Trump is president.
	Maybe this is what Keir Starmer and the other spooks in London are saying to each other.
	Trump is president.
	Make it hurt.
	Just terrorize the people.
	And the same thing with the deep staters in America and the Democrats in America.
	Trump is president.
	Make it hurt.
	Just maximize the pain for all the people.
	What do we have to do?
	Slaughter all the chickens.
	Wipe out the food supply.
	Crash the stock market.
	Defund police and have murders on the streets of Austin and other cities everywhere.
	Just crash everything.
	Basically, this is the deep state Samson option.
	You know, the Samson option from the Bible.
	Where Samson, you know, he took out the pillars and crashed the whole arena on the people, killed them all, and himself.
	And the Samson option is usually, it refers to Israel using nuclear weapons as kind of a last-ditch attack if it feels like it's about to be destroyed.
	But right now, it feels like to me there's a Samson option being unleashed in America by the deep state where they don't care how much damage they do.
	They're just trying to destroy everything in sight as much as they can in any way whatsoever.
	Economically, food supply, wars, violent crime, health attacks.
	Oh, yeah.
	Don't forget the health attacks.
	Don't forget the bioweapons.
	Don't forget whatever they're releasing out there in terms of contact poisons.
	Don't forget all their bioweapons experiments and all that.
	Yeah.
	They're going to be rolling out more stuff too, and of course they've been faking a measles outbreak and all that.
	This is all the deep state.
	It's a total deep state operation.
	I mean, the measles thing was so fake that they actually were running around the hospital testing corpses for measles to see if they could get a match on anything, and then they would announce, oh, this person died with measles.
	With measles, not from measles.
	Running around testing corpses.
	What's next?
	They're going to dig up all the cadavers out of the graveyard and test them all for measles and say, oh my God, there's an outbreak.
	Look how many corpses, how many people died with measles?
	You know, the tombstone says died in like 1972. They don't care.
	Anything to cause a measles panic.
	That's all this is.
	This is psychological warfare.
	This is food supply warfare.
	This is economic warfare.
	And it's a fake pandemic war also being waged against all of us.
	So understand that we are living in a war.
	This is a globalist terrorist war, as Alex says, World War III, that's being waged on the American people.
	And we should not be surprised as this war does three things that Michael Young always reminds us of.
	What are those three things?
	That every war...
	Number one, all wars grow, says Michael Yan, and he's right.
	All wars grow.
	Number two, all wars grow unpredictably.
	You can't predict what's going to happen next, what kind of crazy attack, what kind of crazy dirty bomb, EMP weapon.
	Who knows what they're going to do?
	How is the UK going to start a nuclear war with Russia?
	Probably some false flag operation, you know, to blame it on Russia.
	So that's number two.
	And then number three is...
	All wars last longer than you expect.
	This is not going to be over in a year.
	So I want you to hunker down and prepare for several years of this globalist war playing out.
	And we're going to take some hits, man.
	I mean, America.
	We're going to take some hits.
	They're going to obstruct the food supply.
	They're going to hit the economy.
	They're going to hit the stock market.
	They're going to hit crypto.
	They might hit, you know, the fuel refineries.
	They're going to hit everything they can.
	They're going to maybe firebomb, you know, Tesla dealers.
	They're going to try to assassinate, you know, Trump or other officials again, like they keep trying to do.
	Maybe they're just going to kill people who are pro-Trump or pro-America.
	Who knows what they're going to do?
	They're definitely going to do everything they can.
	And we know that they've got weapon systems.
	We know they've got...
	They've got explosive vests and bombs and freaking landmines and, you know, mortars and things like that.
	So there's a lot of damage they can do.
	We might end up in a kind of a guerrilla warfare situation in America where the radical left tries to launch a war against the government and against the people.
	Now, my prediction is they won't be successful in that war.
	So I'm not trying to...
	I'm not trying to say that you should be freaked out.
	No.
	I think if they try that, if the radical left tries that, it's going to be ended very quickly by law enforcement and by the armed American public, many of whom are retired military veterans or retired law enforcement, etc.
	So, you know, pretty much the radical left, all they can really destroy is their own cities.
	They start getting outside the cities into rural America.
	They're going to be taken down very quickly.
	So I'm not concerned about the radical left-wing uprising.
	I'm more concerned about the UK starting a nuclear war with Russia.
	Or there could be an escalation of events in the Middle East as well involving Israel, which I'm not going to spend time on today because, well, we already have enough complicated stuff to talk about here.
	But what I am saying is be...
	Prepared for anything.
	This is a really important time to be prepared.
	Actually, I thought we were going to need our preparedness supplies before January 20th.
	I was very concerned that the deep state was going to try to pull all of this off before Trump got into office.
	Well, apparently they waited.
	They waited until after Trump got into office so that they can blame Trump for all of this.
	So now the scenario is coming true.
	It's emerging.
	So now I want to encourage you, double-check all your preparedness supplies.
	You know, everything from your iodine, your backup food supplies, independent power.
	Do you have a solar generator?
	Do you have solar panels?
	If not, check out our sponsor's website, the Satellite Phone Store, SAT123.com.
	They've got a lot of backup supplies there.
	Do you have Faraday bags?
	To protect your electronics in case there's an EMP attack.
	Well, the satellite phone store has those, too.
	You have backup food supplies.
	If not, we've got inventory.
	HealthRangerStore.com.
	Even though we donated over half a million dollars of food last year, you know, sent it out on truckloads to all these different places through our church.
	You know, Florida and North Carolina, a lot of it went there.
	And then...
	The last load went to California after the fires to the L.A. area.
	We still have good inventory because we're making more.
	We're able to get supplies.
	So if you need certified organic lab-tested backup food supplies that are really healthy, and I'm talking about freeze-dried organic fruits and vegetables in sealed number 10 cans that are really, really durable, long-term shelf life, like many, many years.
	And we've got...
	Chlorella and spirulina.
	And we've got miso soup mixes.
	And we've got nutritional supplements and much, much more.
	So check all that out at healthrangerstore.com.
	And then just be ready for what's coming.
	When was the last time you cleaned your firearm?
	When was the last time you lubricated it?
	When was the last time you shot it?
	Clean your firearms.
	Test them out.
	Check the batteries on your optics if you've got optics.
	A lot of us, like my main AR-15 rifle over here, I've got a light on the front, a thumb-operated light, and you need to swap out that battery every once in a while.
	The actual shake-awake optics, that battery can last a number of years, but the light battery sometimes doesn't.
	So check everything out.
	Make sure you're all squared away for self-defense.
	Make sure you're as self-reliant as possible.
	And given that it's springtime in America right now, in North America, I should say, it's a good idea to maybe think about doing some gardening this year, planting some food.
	How can you augment your food supply through some gardening?
	Check it out.
	Think about these things.
	We are about to go through some difficult times.
	Also, I'm a big advocate of having a diesel vehicle.
	And then storing diesel on your property if you're able to do so, you know, to the limitations of whatever the county or the city or the HOA may not allow.
	But if you're out in the country, you can usually get a 200-gallon up to a 500-gallon tank, and typically you can buy 500 gallons of diesel delivered to you through, you know, like a fuel distributor.
	Believe it or not, they'll also deliver 50-gallon barrels of engine oil and things like that.
	They serve commercial clients and agricultural clients that burn through a lot of diesel or they use a lot of DEF, the fluid for diesel engines, the exhaust treatment fluid, or they use a lot of hydraulic fluid or they use diesel engine oil, etc.
	The reason I like diesel is because you can store it for many, many years and it's still viable as long as you treat it.
	With all of the antibacterial treatments and so on.
	So that's what I do.
	And then I know if there's no fuel available, well, I've got 500 gallons of diesel here that I can work with.
	I can power farm equipment.
	I can power a truck.
	I can do some transportation.
	Or I can donate it to local law enforcement if they need fuel.
	There's a million things I can do with diesel.
	Diesel is stored energy.
	And diesel is a lot safer than gasoline because...
	It's very hard to burn diesel.
	And that's why diesel engines don't even have spark plugs, by the way.
	Because you can't really spark it into a fire.
	You have to compress it.
	That's how diesel engines work, in case you're curious.
	But anyway, not saying you should do this, but if you pour diesel into a cup, let's say, and you throw a match at the cup, or at the diesel in the cup, you know, again, don't try this.
	I'm just saying, you can't light that diesel.
	I've tried it.
	Because I try a lot of things.
	And you can't light the diesel on fire.
	But if you were crazy enough to do that with gasoline, oh, you might blow your face off.
	Because gasoline will just burn up.
	Diesel's not the same way, so diesel's much safer to store.
	And every fire marshal out there will agree with me that diesel is much safer to store.
	And it also, it's not very volatile, doesn't create a lot of vapors.
	Sometimes people store extra gasoline in their garage, which is closed, and then maybe they don't seal the gasoline lids well, and there's a lot of gasoline vapors that fill the garage, creating a fuel-air explosive.
	And occasionally a whole garage just blows up and detonates because there's a spark somewhere.
	Well, diesel doesn't do that.
	You can literally, if you have a container of diesel and you leave the lid off, Nothing happens.
	In fact, I lost the diesel cap to my truck years ago, and it's just gone.
	I don't bother replacing it because it's not even necessary.
	I just keep it out of the rain.
	Diesel just doesn't evaporate like gasoline.
	Anyway, I don't mean to get carried away on diesel.
	I'm just saying that's one strategy for preparedness that can really help you.
	So be ready for what's coming.
	Now, I've got a couple of videos for you here today from brightlearn.ai, and one of them, I'm going to play this one first.
	This video is not about a book.
	It's actually, this is a video about an interview that I did with Mitch Vexler, who is involved in exposing the property tax fraud in Texas in his case, but this is nationwide.
	So property tax is a massive fraud, total scam.
	This is why Governor DeSantis of Florida is talking about eliminating property taxes for the entire state.
	And this discussion is happening in Texas and many other states as well.
	Property taxes are a scam.
	And this is part of how the deep state keeps people down by taking their money, stealing their money through income taxation and property taxes to make sure that you have nothing left and you can't afford to stop working.
	They don't want you to stop working.
	They don't want you to have free time to think about things like freedom.
	They want you to be caught up in the rat race 24-7 and property taxes and income taxes and sales taxes, etc.
	That's how they achieve that.
	But here's a six-minute video overview of my recent interview with Mitch Vexler that really, what I love about these interview videos is that it really condenses and summarizes the key concepts and makes it very easy to understand.
	I'm your host, and today I want to talk about a story that I believe could change the landscape of American property ownership.
	It's a mix of investigative journalism, legal intrigue, and a fight for the rights of homeowners.
	This isn't just another day on the podcast.
	This is a deep dive into a scandal that's hitting communities across the country, and it's being spearheaded by an unlikely hero.
	Mitch Vexler.
	Now, Mitch isn't just any ordinary guy.
	He's a 35-year builder and developer with a background in statistical probability and quantitative finance.
	He's built everything from high-rise buildings to entire subdivisions, and he's seen the ins and outs of property valuation.
	But what he's uncovered is something that's beyond the scope of what he's dealt with before.
	He's found a pattern of fraud that spans multiple counties and even states.
	And it's a system that seems to be working against the very people it's supposed to protect.
	Homeowners.
	Mitch first stumbled upon this issue in 2016 when he noticed something fishy going on with property valuations in Denton Central Appraisal District in Texas.
	He walked into the appraisal district offices with income statements and performance data, only to be told that the numbers he provided weren't real.
	They were trying to negotiate the value of his properties which, according to the law, is not something they are allowed to do.
	This should have been a red flag, but it was just the beginning.
	Year after year, Mitch and his team, including his accountant Leslie, noticed that these valuations were being manipulated to meet a predetermined budget.
	How does this work?
	Well, according to Mitch, it's a simple but deeply troubling process.
	The taxing entities, like school districts, come up with a budget they want to meet.
	They hand this budget to the chief appraiser, who then distributes this budget across all the properties in the district.
	This is a direct violation of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, or USPAP, which requires that valuations be based on actual data, not on a predetermined budget.
	The implications of this are massive.
	The overvaluation of properties has resulted in an estimated $1.34 billion being taken from homeowners since 2017. That's just one county in Texas.
	The problem is nationwide, and the numbers grow exponentially when you consider the impact across the country.
	Mitch estimates that the total amount of money being misappropriated through this system could be in the trillions.
	But it's not just about the money.
	This is leading to a situation where homeowners are being forced to sell their homes or face the possibility of losing them altogether.
	In some cases, it's pushing people into bankruptcy.
	This is a form of equity stripping where the government is systematically taking away the value of people's homes and it's happening on a massive scale.
	What's even more concerning is the legal implications.
	Mitch and his team are preparing to file a barrage of lawsuits These are heavy charges, but Mitch is confident in his evidence.
	He's got the math, he's got the law, and he's got the facts.
	The problem is finding a judge or a district attorney who is willing to take on this fight.
	Mitch has been reaching out to other states, and he's found that similar issues are cropping up everywhere.
	In Florida, attorneys are working on this.
	And in California, the Board of Equalization is dealing with the same problems.
	The evidence is mounting, and the stakes are high.
	If this system isn't unwound, the market could collapse, leading to a financial crisis that could be worse than the 2008 subprime mortgage collapse.
	One of the solutions Mitch proposes is to eliminate property taxes altogether and replace them with a uniform state sales tax.
	According to his calculations, a sales tax of around 15.64% could replace the revenue from property taxes and eliminate the corruption and overvaluation that comes with the current system.
	This would put the control of taxation back into the hands of consumers.
	The fight Mitch is leading is about more than just money.
	It's about protecting the rights of homeowners, ensuring that the legal and financial systems work as they should, and preventing a potential economic disaster.
	But it's also about accountability.
	Mitch wants to see the people responsible for this fraud held accountable, and he's not backing down.
	For those of you who want to get involved, Mitch has a wealth of resources on his website, mockingbirdproperties.com.
	There are documents, case studies, and even a free course on how to challenge property valuations at your local ARB. If you feel like you've been targeted by your local appraisal district, this is a great place to start.
	This is a story that needs to be told, and it's a fight that needs support.
	Mitch is doing his part, and we need to do ours.
	So, spread the word, share this podcast, and let's make sure that this issue gets the attention it deserves.
	We can't afford to look away from this.
	The future of property ownership and economic stability in this country is at stake.

	All right, coming back from that, we're going to go to another book video here shortly called Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control, Deprogramming Satanic Ritual Abuse, MKUltra Monarch Illuminati.
	Satanic concepts all together there by Kurth Barker.
	So we're going to play that book review video for you here shortly.
	Just want to tell you about something really cool.
	This is not a sponsored plug, but the Safrax company that I've been a great fan of for a long time because they manufacture these instant chlorine dioxide tablets that you put it in water, you know, and it creates chlorine dioxide gas in the water.
	And you can create a whole bucket of chlorine dioxide water for just almost nothing.
	I mean, it's like 500 tablets in a pouch for less than $40.
	Well, they've come out with a new product.
	And the founder of Safrax, the website is safrax.com, by the way.
	And if you use discount code Ranger, you'll save 10%.
	But anyway, he just sent me some samples of his new product.
	Chlorine dioxide air purifier that is a slow-release chlorine dioxide packet.
	It's a packet, like you open up the sealed mylar envelope, basically, and then you pull out this cloth packet, and inside it has these zeolite spheres that are impregnated with chlorine dioxide that is slowly activated by the humidity in the air.
	It's a slow-release.
	Chlorine dioxide pouch, and each pouch treats up to 2,000 square feet.
	And again, it slowly releases chlorine dioxide.
	There's no fragrance in it, which of course, you know, I love that because I can't stand artificial fragrance.
	This can help reduce allergens.
	It can help neutralize mold spores and fungi and germs and bacteria in the air and all kinds of things.
	Chlorine dioxide was used against SARS-CoV-2.
	It was used as a topical spray against MRSA and superbugs in hospitals and freaking Ebola and all kinds of things.
	I'm not saying that that's what this product...
	This is an air purifier.
	It's not a surface treatment.
	But it's a great way to help purify the air in your home, and it doesn't require an expensive machine, and it doesn't need to be plugged in.
	It uses no electricity, so it can work in an off-grid situation.
	So check these out.
	They're called chlorine dioxide air purifier pouches.
	And I believe they're available now at the saffrax.com website.
	Just be sure to use them as directed.
	Do not open the cloth bag.
	You just set it out on a tabletop or whatever, and it does its work from there.
	You don't have to open it.
	Yeah, treats up to 2,000.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	2,000 cubic feet, it said.
	Not square feet.
	Excuse me.
	Yeah, that makes more sense.
	So 60 cubic meters or 2,000 cubic feet.
	So a room.
	It treats a room or it could treat like a vehicle, an RV, or if you're traveling, it could treat maybe a couple of these.
	It could treat a hotel room maybe, you know?
	So this is something really cool, but check them out.
	Again, this is not a paid...
	Sponsorship or anything.
	But the Safrax company, they do donate product to us, well, to our church, technically, from time to time.
	And then we also donate that out from the church to lots of community members and first responders and so on.
	So it's a great all-around arrangement.
	You get clean products, and then we get items that we can donate to people in need or, again, emergency responders.
	And I've given away...
	You know, many thousands of dollars of Safrax to people.
	And other things, like goldbacks as well.
	I'm always giving away goldbacks to people.
	Everybody's number one gift is to get goldbacks.
	So if you want to check all that out, by the way, go to rangerdeals.com and you'll see goldbacks.
	And there's also the link for Safrax.
	And you can see the discount code there, which is Ranger.
	You can save 10% with Safrax.
	I hope they have these in stock.
	I didn't...
	I didn't check with the founder.
	I hope I didn't create a problem by mentioning it.
	Hopefully it's in stock.
	All right.
	With that said, we're going to jump into the Bright Learn book video here called Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control.
	Deprogramming Satanic Ritual Abuse MKUltra Monarch Illuminati.
	Yeah, sounds like the city of London, doesn't it?
	Yeah, sounds like exactly what's going on in the city of London.
	Prepare yourself psychologically.
	This is going to be a hard-hitting video about an amazing book by Kurth Barker.
	Check this out.
	Today, we're embarking on a journey that's both fascinating and chilling.
	A journey into the hidden world of Illuminati mind control.
	We're going to explore a book that's been making waves in certain circles.
	Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control by Kurth Barker.
	This book is not just a collection of stories.
	It's a guide, a revelation, and a call to action for those seeking to understand and overcome the insidious forces that manipulate our minds.
	Now, I know what some of you might be thinking.
	Illuminati?
	Mind control?
	Isn't that just conspiracy theory stuff?
	Well, let me tell you, the information in this book is anything but fiction.
	It's based on real experiences, insider knowledge, and a profound understanding of how trauma-based mind control works.
	Kurth Barker himself is a survivor of satanic ritual abuse and MK Ultra techniques, and he's here to share his story and the methods that helped him reclaim his mind and his life.
	Let's start with the basics.
	The book reveals the inner workings of the Illuminati, a secretive organization with roots in ancient mystery schools and a modern-day agenda that's nothing short of global domination.
	According to Barker, the Illuminati uses trauma-based mind control to manipulate individuals and ultimately entire societies.
	This isn't just about a few bad apples.
	It's a systemic approach to control that's been refined over centuries.
	One of the most shocking revelations in the book is the connection between the CIA's MKUltra program and the Illuminati.
	MKUltra, as many of you might know, was a covert CIA operation that ran from the 1950s to the 1970s, involving experiments in mind control, brainwashing, and psychological torture.
	Barker claims that MKUltra was just the tip of the iceberg.
	The techniques developed under this program are still in use today, albeit in more secretive forms.
	Under the banner of Project Monarch, Barker describes his own experiences with Monarch mind control, detailing the methods used to manipulate his mind and the long, arduous journey he undertook to deprogram himself.
	He emphasizes that the key to overcoming mind control is understanding how it works.
	Fabian therapy, named after the Roman general Fabius Maximus, who used indirect tactics to wear down his enemies, is a unique approach to healing trauma-based mind control.
	It's a system developed by disillusioned Illuminati insiders who wanted to undo the damage they had once been a part of.
	The therapy avoids direct confrontation with painful memories.
	Instead focusing on a gradual, indirect approach that aims to rehabilitate the memory system and empower the individual.
	The book outlines the four main aspects of Fabian therapy, journaling, episodic memory analysis, EMA, extroversion techniques, and vocabulary exercises.
	Each of these elements is designed to work together to release the negative emotional charge contained in traumatic memories and to empower the individual to take control of their own mind.
	Let's break it down.
	Journaling, for instance, is a powerful tool for self-reflection and healing.
	Barker describes three types of journals.
	The Daily Episodic Journal, The Daily Dream Journal, and The Imagination Cathartic Journal.
	These journals are not just about recording events.
	They're about processing emotions and reclaiming your narrative.
	Episodic Memory Analysis, EMA, is another cornerstone of Fabian Therapy.
	It's a systematic analysis of non-occluded episodic memories, happy experiences that are free from pain or negative emotions.
	The goal is to immerse the individual in these positive memories, thereby influencing the entire memory field and releasing the negative charge from repressed or occluded memories.
	Barker also emphasizes the importance of extroversion techniques.
	These are exercises designed to bring the individual into the present moment, away from the painful memories of the past.
	Whether it's through conversation, physical activity, or simply paying attention to the environment, extraversion helps to ground the individual in reality and prevents them from getting stuck in traumatic memories.
	Vocabulary exercises are used to semantically deactivate the power of command words used in Illuminati mind control.
	By working with word lists and definitions individuals can reclaim their ability to understand and use language thereby reducing the power of the control words that have been implanted in their minds.
	Now, I know this all sounds a bit technical but the underlying message is one of hope and empowerment.
	Barker's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of healing and recovery.
	He's not just sharing his experiences.
	He's offering a roadmap for others who are struggling with similar issues.
	But here's the thing.
	Fabian therapy is not a quick fix.
	It's a long-term commitment that requires patience, discipline, and a willingness to confront the darkest parts of your past.
	It's not for the faint of heart.
	But for those who are ready to take control of their minds and their lives, it offers a path to liberation.
	Barker also touches on the broader implications of Illuminati mind control, discussing how it affects not just individuals, but entire cultures.
	He argues that the Illuminati uses mass media and entertainment to program the minds of the general public, creating a culture of fear, division, and conformity.
	This is where the concept of concordance comes in, the synchronization of mind control commands with propaganda slogans to create a seamless web of control.
	But there's a glimmer of hope.
	Barker believes that the Illuminati's power is not absolute and that the tide is turning.
	As more people become aware of the truth, the grip of mind control begins to weaken.
	He encourages those who have recovered to speak out, to share their stories.
	And to help others find their way to freedom.
	So what can we do?
	How can we protect ourselves and our loved ones from the influence of Illuminati mind control?
	Barker offers some practical advice.
	First, educate yourself.
	Learn about the techniques of mind control and how they work.
	Second, be mindful of the media you consume.
	Question the narratives that are presented to you and seek out alternative sources of information.
	Third, practice self-care.
	engage in activities that promote mental and emotional well-being, whether it's journaling, meditation, or simply spending time in nature.
	In conclusion, Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control is a powerful and thought-provoking book that challenges us to rethink our understanding of reality and the forces that shape it.
	It's a call to action for those who are ready to break free from the chains of mind control and reclaim their autonomy.
	Thank you for joining me on this journey.
	I hope this episode has inspired you to explore the book further and to start your own journey toward mental liberation.
	Remember, the truth is out there.
	And it's up to each of us to seek it out and to share it with others.
	Until next time, stay curious, stay informed, and keep questioning everything.
	This is Bright Learn, signing off.
	This has been a Bright Learn video from brightlearn.ai on the book Mental Liberation in the Age of Thought Control.
	Deprogramming Satanic Ritual Abuse.
	MK Ultra Monarch Illuminati by Kurth Barker.

	All right, here we go.
	We've got an interview with Dr. Bashima Williams.
	This is about a new gut health docuseries.
	And this is, well, the registration is going live today.
	This is a free docu-series at brightu.com, and I don't know if it starts this Saturday or the following Saturday.
	I don't actually have the dates in front of me, but it's coming up, and you can see the details at brightu.com.
	That's the word bright followed by the letter u.com.
	But enjoy this full interview with Dr. Bashima Williams, and we talk about gut health and the extreme importance of getting this right and some of the chronic...
	conditions and diseases and inflammation and autoimmune disorders that happen when you have leaky gut syndrome, as it's called.
	But, I mean, I don't know why they have to throw the word syndrome in there.
	If you have a leaky gut, you have a leaky gut.
	Why is it a syndrome?
	It just makes it sound more scary.
	But, you know, it can be scary given what happens when you have a leaky gut.
	But how do we restore a healthy gut lining?
	So that you don't have a leaky gut.
	Let's have a non-leaky gut so that what stays in there is what's supposed to stay in there until you eliminate it, you know, the proper way.
	So, all right, sorry.
	Before I get carried away here, enjoy the interview with Dr. Bashima Williams.
	And thank you for all your support.
	Check us out, healthrangerstore.com.
	Here we go.
	We've got a new product at the Health Ranger store called Oat Milk Powder.
	Here it is, available now, and it's got just one ingredient, which is oats.
	I mean, check it out.
	It's loaded with natural minerals, and it's about 5% fat organic oat milk powder.
	Certified organic, laboratory tested, and it's a great base for lots of smoothies.
	You know I make my smoothies every day, and I started putting it in here as well.
	Just gives it...
	An extra rich and sweet taste, actually.
	Oat milk powder is naturally kind of sweet.
	And if you really want to jazz it up, you can add a banana to it, or you can put whey protein in it.
	Let me show you what I have on my desk here, just some ideas of some of the things that I use in my smoothies, because I've been living on a smoothie for breakfast and lunch for like 20 years now.
	And so I'll use like Coco Energize, I'll use whey protein, I'll put broccoli sprouts in it for the sulforaphane.
	And there's the oat milk powder.
	I also use turmeric powder and then instant coffee sometimes, but those are currently out of stock at our store, so you have to check back on those later.
	And you can use anthocyanins for fruit-based smoothies, etc.
	But now, I use a big Vitamix blender, but for those of you who want to have something more convenient for your office that's portable, we now carry the Blendie.
	Portable blenders at healthrangerstore.com.
	Just search for Blendy, B-L-E-N-D-I, and there's a couple different sizes there.
	Now, these clearly are not as strong as a Vitamix, but they're portable, great at the workplace, great for travel.
	You can use it in a hotel room, or you can use it on the go.
	You can use it traveling or in an RV or what have you, and these can blend up.
	You know, bananas and all these different powders and the new oat milk powder that we have as well quite successfully.
	And if you want to make my smoothie, it's really just put in like half an avocado and half of a big banana into the blendy with some of these other powders like, you know, cacao powder and whey protein powder, a little bit of turmeric powder, etc.
	And then you're going to get a smoothie really close to what I drink every single day.
	So that's how you do it.
	And we've got these products and so much more available at healthrangerstore.com where every purchase helps support our network and our effort to bring you technologies and solutions and knowledge for human empowerment, life, liberty, and happiness.
	So thank you for your support for shopping at healthrangerstore.com.
	I'm Mike Adams of Health Ranger.
	Thank you for all your support.
	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
	This is something that's going to materially impact the quality of your life in a positive way.
	And it has to do with an often overlooked area of human health, which is your gut health.
	And our guest today is Dr. Bashima Williams, who is the creator of a new docuseries that's going to be airing for free at Brighteon University, which is BrightU.com.
	Coming up soon, we'll give you more details about that date.
	Well, it's great to have you back.
	Last time we spoke, we talked about electropollution, electromagnetic interference in human biology.
	That's an area that more and more people are slowly becoming aware of, but this area that we're talking about today, gut health, This is something that, you know, honestly, a lot of this has been known for a long time, but it's been forgotten.
	People forget to think about what's in their gut and the implications on their health.
	And we can talk about the second brain, and we can talk about the chemical synthesis output of the microbes in your gut.
	We've got to talk about all of that, but where should we begin?
	Like, what's the big picture?
	Kind of, you were just sharing with me before we started here.
	Let's start there.
	Sure.
	So in my practice, being functional, we really focus on functional medicine.
	We focus on the five pillars of health and wellness.
	And the five pillars are nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress management, resilience, development, and also social engagement.
	And of all of that, nutrition is really kind of a...
	Where I see a huge benefit.
	So in walking my patients through a good anti-inflammatory way of eating and also healing their gut at the same time has really had a profound impact on their health and wellness and so much so that I actually created a course because honestly I was saying the same thing over and over and over again to my patients.
	So now every single one of my patients goes through this course, and obviously through the years we've refined it, and we've continued educating patients.
	So this is really kind of Feel Good Gut Health was created to lay the groundwork for all the basic things that you want to do and start doing in your life on a regular basis in order to achieve that health and wellness.
	Okay, so the course is called Feel Good Gut Health, and this is airing free of charge at brightu.com.
	Registration is required, but no purchase is required.
	It begins streaming March 22nd, and you can register for it now.
	You can optionally purchase the entire course and download it and watch it at whatever schedule you want.
	But, Dr. Williams, let me ask you this.
	Are they shocked to learn?
	Things like there are more non-human cells in your body than human cells or that what you eat affects your gut.
	You and I are like, of course, but a lot of people, they think that mealtime is just entertainment, but it shouldn't affect how they feel.
	So what are some of the revelations that come out of this?
	So I think first and foremost, I want to say that I have a patient bias that actually knows a lot about gut health, and they need that help.
	They need the framework on how to sort of heal their gut because there's so much misinformation out there.
	There's so many things, and it's not in one complete little package.
	So that's what we try to create and try to do.
	And you are right.
	For example...
	Just the whole topic of leaky gut, that's really kind of picked up a lot of momentum here lately in all the different causes of leaky gut and how the gut is that one simple little tiny membrane that separates the outside world from the inside world and right on the other side of the gut membrane, the immune system, and 70-80% of your immune system.
	So for people, especially since COVID, for people who are really more self-aware and trying to increase their health and wellness and their resistance, Resilience to pathogens and viruses and are opting not to get the vaccine and trying to find other ways to improve their health and wellness.
	This is definitely something that they are very aware of more and more.
	Well, that's outstanding to hear.
	And I know there's a lot of concern out there about leaky gut issues, but also gluten.
	So you hear a lot about gluten.
	When I was younger, we never heard anything about gluten sensitivity.
	I'll ask you the question, but I have long understood that it's not just about gluten.
	There are other factors that make people more vulnerable to inflammatory, let's say, molecules in the food supply.
	What's your take on gluten and what's happening?
	Partial elimination diet to help with gut healing because unfortunately certain food proteins are hard to digest and if you already have leaky gut or a poor digestive system or dysbiosis, poor bacteria, overgrowth of potential pathogens, parasites and other things that are living in your body, then we really want to eliminate certain high risk, high sensitivity foods.
	Gluten is one of them.
	It is a protein that is really hard to digest.
	Plus, when you think about gluten and you think about the denaturing and the GMO products that we now have, our body is having a really hard time breaking it down.
	Now, gluten is a very common cause of a leaky gut.
	Well, okay.
	But keep going on that because I want to know about...
	What happens when people keep eating gluten or other things that they're sensitive to?
	You get gut inflammation, and then you have this connection with the mind and moods and depression.
	So please talk about that connection.
	Okay, so let's just break down what happens when you eat a piece of food.
	Let's say you eat a piece of egg, which is another high-sensitivity food, and you chew it in your mouth, and once you swallow it, you are done.
	Your job with digesting your food is done.
	So whatever you do in your mouth...
	All the enzymes, all that stuff, breaking it down, mechanically breaking it down.
	Once you swallow, we now have to depend on your body to take care of the rest of the digestion from taking this big globular piece of protein and breaking it down into tiny little amino acids that your body can recognize.
	And once your body, once it breaks it down into these little tiny amino acid, single, double, or triple chains, then it can actually go through the gut lining.
	On the other side of the membrane, where your body then can utilize the nutrients, in this case, amino acids.
	But what's happening more and more, and what we're seeing more and more, because of so many issues, and I can go down the entire gut lining track, what we're doing is we are not getting to the point where we're breaking down this big globular piece of protein into amino acids, and instead, this little big...
	It is being broken down into tiny pieces.
	But this little tiny piece of egg is actually going through the gut membrane.
	And the body's immune system, 70-80% of the body's immune system is on the other side of the gut lining.
	And this is where we're starting to have, you know, the body's having to attack that little globular protein because it's not in identifiable pieces.
	So the biggest causes of that, starting with the stomach acid, we are...
	Inundated with all these drugs, right?
	PPIs and NSAIDs and alcohol and a high-sugar diet, all these things that are actually reducing the amount of acid that our stomach is able to make.
	That's the first place where digestion actually starts.
	And then the downstream effects of not having enough acid means we don't have great pancreatic enzymes and it affects the gallbladder function.
	All these things decrease how well we can break down these tiny little micronutrients, which then ends up creating even a leakier gut, bigger holes that even more things can go through, toxins and glyphosate and viruses and all these things.
	So undigested food, believe it or not, is one of the biggest causes of leaky gut and one of the biggest causes of not only leaky gut, but also why you can't heal until you completely remove it out of your diet.
	Yeah, okay, you're hitting on so many important areas here.
	Let me bring in something that really confirms what you just said.
	Years ago when I was working on my patents for removing heavy metals from the body, I built a digestion simulator, just a mechanical device, and we would put in like a synthetic version of your stomach acid, which contains...
	A small amount of hydrochloric acid.
	And the pH, I believe, might be around even just 1.5 or even 2.0 or something like that.
	And I realized, and then I would put food in it, and then I would have it, you know, I had like a rocker and like a vortexer and things slowly over time.
	And in this process, I realized that your stomach acid doesn't really...
	It doesn't do that much.
	It doesn't actually break everything down the way we think it does.
	I was shocked at how weak stomach acid is in terms of breaking down foods because in order to really break down these foods, like in our lab, we use nitric acid.
	That will turn food into liquid.
	That will just completely obliterate everything and the food turn into liquid.
	But you don't have that in your stomach.
	If you did, you'd have a giant hole in your stomach.
	So what the stomach actually has is very, very weak, even in healthy people.
	It was shocking to me, but that brings in the importance of the microbes in achieving digestion.
	And of course, also, you know, bile and some of the other pH changes.
	But talk about the role of microbes in actually completing digestion.
	Yeah, so let me just back up to, with the acid, one of the biggest jobs the stomach has.
	Is to churn the food.
	Yeah.
	Mechanically break it up.
	And then also chemically, it does break it up to some degree.
	And that's why chewing is so important.
	True.
	Once you swallow, you're done.
	And so that's why, you know, 20 times a day, 20 times every bite.
	Who really does that?
	But that's what we try to teach people.
	I have actually tried doing that.
	And it takes forever to eat.
	But anyway, the other huge thing that the acid is doing is it is a chemical signal.
	For the pancreas to contract and release digestive enzymes that then continue breaking down that food.
	And that does work effectively.
	There we go.
	Yeah.
	So when we are messing, I guess the bottom line is when we mess with Mother Nature, there are downstream consequences, which is why we see in people who took chronic PPIs like Omeprazole or Prilosec for a long time.
	We found that they were missing many micronutrients that led to an earlier development of osteoporosis.
	So it is something where we, when we as physicians prescribe a medication, we have to at least to some degree know the long-term consequences and know the long-term effects of not having a well-balanced immune system.
	Now the microbiome, fully, the microbiome, We always measure something called short-chain fatty acids, which is a byproduct of what the microbiome makes.
	Now, short-chain fatty acids are super important in your overall gut health, and primarily because it actually helps with fueling some of the enterocytes and the colonic mucosa, and it also helps with immune system function and things like that.
	So really important that...
	What you eat and what your gut microbiome is actually eating as well.
	We always try to preach and tell our patients three or four cups of vegetables a day, multiple colors, the color of the rainbow, because you really are what you eat or what your gut microbiome eats.
	And if you are eating crap, you are not going to make short-chain fatty acids, and you are going to have a lot of inflammatory consequences.
	You know, it's interesting.
	I also find that sometimes people are taking things, That really hurt their digestion, even in the natural realm.
	For example, baking soda or sodium bicarbonate, which has a thousand remedy uses.
	It's a miraculous substance, and it can be used for all kinds of amazing things.
	But it neutralizes stomach acid, right?
	So, you know, let's just...
	Go ahead.
	It sounds like you wanted to comment on that.
	Well, yeah, so I've personally never done that, and I've never recommended it, but I will tell you the biggest problem with reflux, acid reflux, people who are suffering from it, is the lower esophageal sphincter is not tight enough, so it allows acids to come back up.
	Ironically, not having enough acid in your stomach is actually a problem.
	Because then, again, with the whole digestive cascade of the example we just gave.
	So the lower esophageal sphincter, one of my favorite supplements to use for that is something called lemon balm because it actually has a very relaxing effect on your body and it actually helps with the lower esophageal sphincter.
	Acid stays where it's supposed to stay.
	The stomach lining can tolerate an acid level of about a 1 to 2. The esophagus cannot.
	Going up there on a regular basis, we're going to burn up that esophagus.
	And that can predispose you for something called Barrett's esophagitis, which then, you know, of course, can turn into esophageal cancer.
	So eating too fast, eating the wrong foods, chronically sort of suppressing the vagus nerve and the parasympathetic nervous system because you're in fight or flight all the time, obesity, pregnancy, all that stuff.
	Puts pressure on that lower esophageal sphincter pushing acid up.
	So we just have to be aware of the mechanics of the cause of the problem and sort of focus on that.
	And I discovered this when I was working with an accountant who only had reflux in March and April.
	I had learned about lemon balm.
	Let's just try it.
	And it actually worked.
	And so since then, I've used it a lot for patients where stress is a cornerstone.
	While we're working on the stress...
	Wait, wait.
	Are you saying the taxes caused the stress?
	She was so busy that taxes caused her stress.
	Okay.
	So, well, another argument for ending the IRS right there, solving all kinds of health problems.
	At the same time, let me just remind people that we're talking about the new program that's going to be streaming at Brighteon University, which is brightu.com.
	It's called Feel Good Gut Health.
	And it's from Dr. Bashima Williams here, who has many, many patients across multiple states and has thousands of hours, tens of thousands, I would suppose, of experience of treating patients over many years successfully and learning what works and what doesn't work, etc.
	And that is all aggregated in this course, which you can watch for free.
	Again, brightu.com is where you can register to watch the course.
	That's the word bright followed by the letter U. Now, you mentioned, Dr. Williams, the vagus nerve, and so we have to talk about Ozempic.
	And we have to talk about these weight loss injections that are paralyzing the vagus nerve and causing the stomach to not empty.
	And some people...
	Oh, this is a miraculous weight loss injection.
	Let's just, you know, take a jab once a week.
	Tell us about the long-term consequences of paralyzing the vagus nerve.
	Well, yeah, long-term consequences, side effects of the, you know, it will affect every single aspect of the digestion, right?
	So gastric emptying, motility, constipation.
	Prolonged toxin exposure.
	For example, when we process estrogen naturally through the liver, it gets delivered into the bile and into our stool.
	And the longer it sits there, the more likely you are to reabsorb some of that estrogen.
	And all of a sudden, you start becoming hormonally imbalanced and things like that.
	Now, I will say there is a place for using things like Ozambic temporarily.
	The problem is we become dependent on it, and the problem is we don't change behaviors.
	And the underlining problem of the eating disorders and all this other stuff is definitely still there.
	Weight loss is nice because it will decrease so many other weight-associated risk factors, including cancers and things like that.
	I think what we're talking about here is long-term use and dependence on a drug rather than really investing the time and energy into the behavioral changes.
	We actually discussed this in our course.
	Yeah, no, that's the key.
	I'm sorry to interrupt, but right there.
	See, to me, I don't think there's ever a case to use a Zempic because it's a crutch for people who don't want to change their food choice and their habits.
	And they want to keep eating the toxins that made them obese.
	They still want to do all the ice cream or Pop-Tarts or donuts or whatever and say, hey, give me a magic potion or a magic injection that can somehow overcome this habit that I don't want to give up.
	And the problem is all those foods are actually promoting heart disease and promoting diabetes and promoting everything.
	And yeah, there's got to be some benefit from eating less of the toxic garbage.
	But the real solution is to get better educated and change your food choice.
	You don't need to poison your nerves in order to be healthier, right?
	100%.
	We really focus on smart goal setting because, unfortunately, 95% of what we do as humans, unless we're acutely aware, is done subconsciously.
	So our habits really drive our behaviors.
	On a regular daily basis.
	So sometimes we'll even have people do something called habit trackers just to sort of monitor every act, all the activities that they're doing on a daily basis and trying to see which ones of them they were really consciously aware of and which ones they were not.
	What you're going to find is a lot of your behaviors, even when you're paying attention, are done because of what you've done over day in and day out.
	And so the reason why I say the temporal use of Ozembic might get people in a state of mind where they can be more hyped.
	More heightened and more aware.
	However, there's a lot to be said with if you were to do these SMART goals and you were to implement this healthy lifestyle, the weight loss will naturally come off.
	But you're 100% right.
	We do not want to be prescribing Ozembic in a person where we're not actively also focusing on the...
	Gut health and the mind and the body and the spirit and all of that.
	Because all we're doing is we're creating a situation where people are eating less junk rather than the normal amount of junk that they were eating.
	And that is not good.
	That is not the end goal that we have for patients.
	We want our patients to be more aware of how food is making them feel and how food can drastically heal them.
	Very often Americans, and I'm sure you've seen this in your practice, but you've helped people change and grow and mature in their behavior.
	But the typical American, probably not the kind of people watching this, but the typical American wants a shortcut and they don't care about the consequences.
	And I just brought up the Ozempic webpage here and I just brought up the side effects.
	So this is on Ozempic.com, right?
	And here it is.
	Oh, it may cause...
	Tumors, thyroid tumors and cancer.
	It can cause problems with your stomach, problems, it can cause blurred vision, pancreatic inflammation, low blood sugar, dehydration and kidney problems.
	And then if you scroll up, you're like, wait a minute, this caused kidney problems, but let me refresh it.
	It says it's just been approved to treat, here it is, to treat kidney disease.
	It's like, so this drug, Like almost all prescription drugs, they very often cause the very problems that they claim to treat.
	And you get stuck in this crazy cycle, which I'm glad that you're teaching people how to escape that cycle.
	But what's your reaction to this?
	My reaction is there are, just like with the PPIs that we talked about earlier with osteoporosis and...
	Micronutrient deficiencies and things like that.
	There are consequences to everything you do, especially if it's something that now the one difference with the GLPs is your body does naturally make GLPs and there's ways that you can actually increase natural GLP production.
	One of those ways, by the way, is by feeding your healthy gut microbiome healthy food because the short chain fatty acids actually help.
	The enterocytes heal, which is where some of our natural GLP is made with the L cells in the gut lining.
	So absolutely, there's consequences.
	But the biggest thing is you have to create a mindset.
	You have to work on the brain.
	Our first module on Feel Good Gut Health has a lot to do with setting the right mindset.
	If you don't decide you want to change...
	And you aren't willing to do the new work, then doing the same thing over again, over and over and over again, it's just going to make you go insane.
	You're not going to get the results you want.
	And so really, there's this mindset.
	But yes, listen, I've been a doctor for almost 30 years.
	I've written prescriptions for a long time.
	That's actually what got me out of my regular practices.
	One, it was so boring and brainless that I just felt like, what am I doing?
	Like, I'm not doing my purpose in my life.
	And two, I wasn't seeing real change in people.
	So it's definitely a crutch.
	It's definitely easier to take a cholesterol drug than it is to actually make the dietary changes that I have seen in my patients make where I have seen amazing results way surpassing what a cholesterol drug would do.
	And this is not my opinion.
	This is like actual objective data, right, with laboratory information.
	So it is...
	Medications can become crippling and an easy fix.
	And the problem is, for years, we have taught our patients, if you have this, look at all these great solutions.
	But we haven't ever talked about what we're talking about today until the last five years.
	Because I've been doing functional medicine for about 15 years.
	It really hasn't.
	And I always thought it's not until the consumer wakes up.
	That we're going to see this huge rise in functional medicine.
	And that is exactly what happened.
	And it took COVID to make people realize that if your body is in a sick state, when you get a virus, you are going to be sicker than the average person who isn't in a chronically inflamed state.
	Yeah, good point.
	Because we don't know what's coming down the line here in terms even, you know, there are bioweapons labs all over the...
	Some run by the West in Ukraine and in Africa, etc.
	We don't know what they're working on or what might escape the labs.
	Everything seems to escape sooner or later.
	But let's go back to food labels.
	Let's focus on this because I know you talk about this in your course.
	And I've talked about a lot of ingredients on food labels for 25 years.
	What would you say, Dr. Williams, are the top ingredients to really watch out for on food labels that...
	Pose the most risk to good gut health.
	So when we go through reading food labels with our patients, our number one rule, and if this is the only thing you remember, this would be great.
	Number one is read your food labels.
	And if it sounds like a science experiment, leave it alone.
	If it's not whole foods listed in it.
	Leave it alone.
	Like, put it back on the shelf.
	Because your body, a lot of those things are synthetic.
	And it's just mind-boggling.
	If you saw a whole bunch of red dye, would you ever drink it?
	No, but if we sprinkle it on food, it'll be good for you.
	And it's not good for you.
	And it's actually a leading cause of leaky gut.
	Which then, once we activate our immune system, we get all these downstream effects.
	And then the second rule is number of ingredients.
	So really look at the number of ingredients.
	Five or six or less would be ideal.
	Once you have to start adding a whole bunch of other things, you're going, well, what am I really eating?
	And then the third thing that I'm somewhat passionate about is the type of oil that's put in that food.
	And a lot of the oils that are used, especially in foods that are on shelves, Are highly processed and a lot of times seed oils that are also full of other chemicals.
	So now you're exposing yourself to a pro-inflation.
	Even if the three or four ingredients are good, but then you have a cottonseed oil that's kind of tying everything together, leave it alone.
	That's really good information.
	Thanks for sharing that.
	And let me just add something from my experience being in the food business.
	And I think most people do not know this, but number one is...
	Food manufacturers are not legally required to list on the ingredients labels ingredients that they use for processing the food, such as solvents.
	For example, if you use a hexane extracted nutrient, you don't have to list hexane, even if there are trace amounts of hexane left over in the food.
	And there are other processing agents, and there are anti-foaming agents, and there are flow agents, and there are excipients, and there are cleaning agents that are in a lot of food that's on the shelf that are never listed on the ingredients.
	And furthermore, let me ask you this, Dr. Williams, there are also molecules such as acrylamides that are created during the cooking of carbohydrates.
	And acrylamides do not need to be listed on the labels, nor do cancer-causing...
	Chemicals created during the charring of meat in barbecue, for example.
	So do you also teach people that the label is really just the starting point?
	It doesn't tell you everything that's in that food, does it?
	No, that's why we go with, again, if you can't recognize the ingredients, don't buy it.
	If it's not Whole Foods...
	Don't buy it.
	Because you know what?
	Whole foods, you can't screw up too much.
	But then that's where the oils come in.
	That's where I find a lot of what you just talked about is in those oils.
	When I researched how oil is extracted from these seeds, I was blown away.
	Chemicals are used.
	And intuitively...
	You're like, well, how do they get rid of the chemicals then and separate it from the oil completely?
	Honestly, I wasn't able to find anything that really convinced me that they could.
	So absolutely, that's why we want whole foods and the way God made them.
	That's what you want to be eating most of the time.
	Do you also cover...
	Yeah, you can't avoid it if you don't.
	That's great advice.
	Right now, beef tallow is all the rage.
	Everybody, I mean, at least in conservative circles, people talking about, oh, we need to switch from seed oils to beef tallow.
	And I understand that argument.
	I totally get it.
	So I was trying some organic beef tallow in my frying pan, and I realized I just don't like the taste of it.
	I really like avocado oil much better.
	Or coconut oil.
	Those are two of my favorite oils.
	I really love avocado oil.
	But, you know, to each his own.
	However, guess what?
	Dioxins accumulate in animal fats.
	So, who's testing beef tallow for dioxin contamination?
	Nobody?
	Nobody?
	And I'm not trying to, you know, scare people away from beef tallow.
	It does have a lot of benefits.
	I'm just saying, I want to know...
	Because there's a dioxin contamination level across all the fields and farms and grasses all over the country.
	Because dioxins are created from house fires.
	We had a lot of fires in California.
	So there's a lot of dioxins all over the place.
	That bioaccumulates in animal fat.
	So we don't know.
	Yeah, you're right.
	And so again, we go back to the oils that...
	For example, that we recommend, whole foods oils are still the best, even though, so avocados and olives, but we also recommend omega, also understanding that certain oils like the polyunsaturated oils are very susceptible to heat and denaturing and trying to get them in their whole food form.
	So fish, we recommend eating fish at least a couple times a week.
	We recommend a really smart omega-3.
	Supplement if you can't, because one of the things we found in our practice when we measured omega-3 to omega-6 index ratios is that people had, and by the way, omega-6 are the polyunsaturated fats that are mostly from the seed oils.
	Now, you need a little bit, but that pathway really promotes inflammation, and the omega-3 pathway promotes The opposite.
	So it's an anti-inflammatory pathway.
	So when my patients would get COVID, one of the things I would do if it was appropriate for the patient, and it's certainly not medical advice for everyone, but if it was appropriate for the patient, I would give them four to six grams of DHA and EPA daily to really help drive down that cytokine storm because we know that omega-3 is very anti-inflammatory.
	But here's the problem.
	You get omega-3 that's been denatured or sitting on a shelf forever or Flax.
	Flax oil is the worst.
	It goes bad overnight.
	We tell people only flax seeds and to grind them fresh and put them on a salad.
	So we go through all of this kind of stuff in our educational series because when I talk to my patients, I need them to have that foundation.
	So that when we're talking about polyunsaturated oils, they already know what all that means.
	And I don't have to go through what I just went through right now with you.
	Of course, you already know what all that means too.
	So we really kind of stick with basics.
	In terms of the saturated oils, our bodies do need some saturated oils from animal fats.
	But we don't need more than one to two servings per day on average based on literature that I read.
	So most of the oils we should be getting are the monounsaturated fats and the polyunsaturated omega-3 fats.
	And also just keeping in mind that cooking with oils, I like to actually cook with oil as little as possible.
	So if I have broccoli that I'm cooking on a stovetop, instead of cooking it with a little olive oil, I'll steam it.
	I'll take it off the heat.
	I'll drain the water, put it back on in the pan without heat, and just drizzle a little olive oil and a little lemon squeeze, a little salt and pepper if I want.
	And that is perfect.
	And the difference in taste really is any kind of heat will denature oil.
	And so we're trying to reduce heat as much as possible in general.
	But certainly when you're cooking with oil, always try to cook at the lowest temperature.
	And you know, there's refined and unrefined avocado oil.
	The unrefined avocado oil.
	And there's different burning temperatures of all of those things.
	So you really have to know how to cook with oil to really cook with oil.
	So really, definitely churn down the heat as much as possible is what we teach our patients.
	We also don't want our patients living in fear, but we want you to be educated so that when you're in the kitchen cooking, you have confidence in it.
	Yeah, really good point.
	And if you smell smoke, it's way too hot.
	That's for sure.
	Since we're talking about oils, a couple other questions.
	There's also a lot of counterfeit olive oil, as you well know, in the marketplace.
	I visited an olive oil, well, an olive orchard in Wimberley, Texas.
	And they produce olive oil that's real pungent, spicy.
	You can really taste it.
	And the store-bought olive oil tastes nothing like that at all.
	It's not even close.
	It's a pale shadow of it.
	But the other question is about the marketing of oils.
	So I've seen in grocery stores numerous times salad dressings that say olive oil salad dressing.
	And then you look at the ingredients, the number one ingredient is canola oil.
	That's right.
	So it's a fraud.
	I mean, oh, well, the second ingredient is olive oil.
	So it's like 90% canola, 10% olive, and the olive might be fake anyway, so you probably have like 1% olive oil.
	The label says olive oil salad dressing.
	Talk about that.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	It's the cheapest way to go, right?
	And so that's what we're going to do.
	At the end of the day...
	At the end of the day, it's all about how much money a company can make and what's cheapest and what's best for them in that degree, but also what tastes good and what people are going to want to buy it.
	So if we can put a little olive oil in and advertise that we have olive oil in this, then of course it's going to sell more because everyone knows olive oil is good for you.
	A couple things with olive oil, you want to smell it.
	It should smell kind of like that spicy hot.
	You can put it on your tongue and it should give you a little bit of a kick real through.
	Olive oil.
	And then also look for containers that are dark and small batches, not a big, huge container of olive oil because it does go bad.
	And also, and keep it and store it out of the heat.
	But the other thing is you want to look for an olive oil that says first pass olive oil.
	And then, you know, because they can process these olives over and over chemically, not chemically, mechanically over and over again.
	You want the first.
	And those are going to be a little bit more expensive, but you don't have to use as much either.
	And it's really fragrant, and it tastes so different.
	I get some from Greece, and I get it imported by the case.
	It's actually cheaper than buying it in a grocery store that way.
	Wow.
	Okay, really great conversation about oils.
	And this is really critical because seed oils are so pro-inflammatory.
	And inflammation leads to so many problems.
	I'd like to ask you about that next, but let me mention, Your course here is called Feel Good Gut Health.
	It'll be streaming free of charge, registration required, at brightu.com.
	That's short for Bright Town University.
	Beginning March 22nd here, you just enter your email and your name.
	It could be any name.
	It could be your friend's name.
	We don't care.
	Just enter your email and anybody's name, and you are registered to watch it for free.
	And then...
	You can also optionally purchase it.
	If you do purchase it, then the proceeds, some of it supports Dr. Williams and her production of educational materials, and some of it supports our platform as well.
	So thank you for your support.
	So let's talk about...
	Well, I want to ask you about longevity.
	And there's a lot of buzz about anti-aging, but there seems to be a real technological...
	Oh, we have to have nanobots injected into your body in order to reverse the chromosomal damage, whatever.
	Can you talk about just living well with food?
	I don't call it anti-aging.
	How about aging well?
	How about that?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Our whole focus is on longevity at the cellular level.
	So we really focus on...
	What we can do anti-aging wise at the cellular level, because if your cells are healthy, then you're healthy and you're more energetic and things of that nature.
	And it just reminds me of this one patient I just recently saw who since 2011, she had a horrible medical experience in 2011, antibiotics for like 13, 14 weeks, just horrible, horrible situation.
	But since 2011, can you believe it, Mike?
	Since 2011, she has felt...
	Let's just say really crappy, really tired.
	If she did anything for a day, she's on disability now.
	She used to be an amazing professional.
	So I had seen her and before we even had any of the test results come back yet or anything else, I had had her watch these videos and she watched them in one week.
	She just kept going and she didn't stop until she finished.
	And then she actually implemented everything that she learned.
	And she sent me a message within a week of seeing her telling me that she was able to dream again for the first time since 2011. That's a really big deal because if you're able to dream, that means there are certain body processes that are being balanced again.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	And so she was so out of balance that she couldn't even, one, sleep well to begin with, but two, to dream.
	And she couldn't believe she was dreaming.
	And she has continued to dream by then.
	I don't even have all of her test results yet back and things like that.
	But this is the profound effect of doing some really simple things, which is why I had to create these videos because I wanted to share it with everyone.
	Number one, you have to sleep seven to eight hours every night.
	It's restorative.
	In medicine, we learned that when you're sleeping, especially between midnight and 4 a.m., you're making more natural killer cells that will help defend you during the day.
	Your brain gets a rest.
	Your body's restoring.
	Your cells are restoring themselves and getting ready for the next day.
	Stress reduction and stress resilience.
	And we talked just a little tiny bit about the gut-brain access connection.
	And man, what a profound system that is and how it controls so many things.
	When stress is entering your body, it doesn't just suppress the vagus nerve, but it heightens your sympathetic nervous system, your fight or flight.
	And it also acts through the endocrine system by releasing cortisol.
	Both of those have a profound effect on the gut and therefore nutrient digestion and all these other secondary things, right?
	So stress resilience.
	Nutrition, super important.
	Sleep, super important.
	Exercise, not over-exercise.
	Like I have some patients that over-exercise.
	But man, just get out in nature and grounding.
	We talk about that a lot.
	These are all very simple and free things that every single one of us can do.
	And before I would get into the nano-injections and peptides and all this other stuff, I would get the basics right first.
	Yeah, I'm not signing up for the nanobot anti-aging vaccine or whatever.
	Let's talk about RFK Jr. is now Secretary Kennedy, head of HHS, which oversees FDA, CDC, NIH, etc.
	What do you suppose that he can do or his agency can accomplish in the realm of food to help improve the health of the American people?
	I can tell you right now that He is very acutely aware of leaky gut.
	He knows what it is.
	I've talked to some people with the Autism Association that I'm actually doing a little talk for in San Diego in April, and they are very acutely aware of the association of leaky gut and all these downstream consequences, whether it's migraines or mental cognitive changes, fatigue, skin rash, whatever it is.
	But it all starts with our nutrition.
	If we can get our nutrition right, then we will have all these, you know, opposite of all the diseases, we're going to have health and wellness.
	Okay, but what, so policy-wise though, what kinds of things could make a difference?
	So I personally, if I was in his shoes, what I would really be focusing on is getting rid of things like glyphosate.
	All these toxins that we're putting on our food.
	When we see these toxins being sprayed on our food, we have to have some awareness that we will be ingesting that ourselves.
	And if it's causing, I remember when I was little and we lived behind a field and seeing these grasshoppers that were jumping everywhere and all of a sudden they would get sprayed and they would become paralyzed and just lay there on their backs.
	And I remember thinking as a kid, Well, if it's doing that to them, what's it doing to us?
	So that would be the number one thing I would do.
	I would probably also start to really affect education, trying to educate as many people as I can.
	I had a patient who was only four years old and weighed 150 pounds.
	What?
	Yes.
	And I asked the parents, what did he eat?
	I was trying to educate the parents.
	And this is obviously a long time ago before I had the functional practice.
	It was a family medicine practice.
	And I asked the parents, what are you feeding him?
	They're like, what do you mean what are we feeding him?
	Okay, just tell me what he ate yesterday.
	And I remember he had two hot dogs at a fair in addition to a lot of other things.
	And I just remember thinking, oh my gosh, two hot dogs?
	I couldn't even process that because that's so processed for a little kid.
	But when I tried to get the family the help that they needed, they actually turned me in.
	So there needs to be some accountability to these parents for raising their children in a way where it's putting them at risk for so many things because our kiddos don't know.
	So there needs to be some kind of policy and education around it where we're really educating and also we're limiting access to...
	Everywhere you go, there's fast food places nowadays.
	And so really limiting access to some of that, decreasing the toxic exposure in our food, and really encouraging and educating on how food makes you feel.
	What I find is it's really easy for me to get my patients to do what I want them to do, partly because they're suffering.
	And they've made the association of lifestyle causes the suffering.
	I could either take a drug.
	Or I could change my lifestyle.
	So my patients want to change their lifestyle.
	Once they're educated, in terms of like just what we just talked about, what kind of oil to use, that's an easy change.
	You make that change and you start reading labels and you start putting whole foods into your body.
	So I would say decreasing toxin exposure both...
	Chemically and in our foods, like all the dyes, and also what's being sprayed on our crops.
	I would also try really to attack the GMO industry in terms of all the genetically modified foods and trying to go back to what nature created.
	Well, the number one food that's genetically modified would be GM corn.
	And corn is also subsidized by the government.
	So there's an incentive for...
	Farmers to grow corn and companies to use corn, and this is why we have corn in a thousand products, including corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup, etc.
	And corn is also, for many people, it's also an inflammatory allergen, isn't it?
	Very much so, not to mention that particular type of sugar, the fructose, is very detrimental to our health and is a leading cause of what we see nowadays in our medical practice, which is the non-alcoholic.
	Fatty liver disease, which we used to never see in our practice.
	When I first started seeing patients in the 90s, that wasn't something we saw.
	We saw alcoholic cirrhosis.
	And now we're seeing fatty liver cirrhosis because of the fats you're eating.
	And primarily one of the worst ones, sorry, not from the fats you're eating, it's from the sugar that's being converted into and stored as fat units within the liver.
	So one of the worst sugars that does that is fructose.
	So then, back to policies, I'm sorry to keep pressing you on this point, but there has been a suggestion that food stamps, or the SNAP program as it's called federally, should no longer be allowed to be used by food stamp recipients to purchase soda pop, for example, or sugary cereals, things like that.
	And at first glance, I mean, it does seem insane.
	same why why are why are taxpayers funding other people to spend taxpayer money on obesity ingredients you know what I mean so would you support a ban like that that would be really I would have to really look into something like that.
	I would have to really think about that a little bit longer than what I would be able to in the show, primarily because I would want to see how it affects people.
	And let me just tell you, my family owned grocery stores growing up, so we took a lot of food stamps and really worked with...
	And people in general who were really in poverty.
	Now, food stamps back then, people were buying whole foods, but also there's ways around it.
	Back then it was paper food stamps, so you could buy something and your change would be in cash and then you can go and spend that however you want to.
	There's just so much around this, but my number one priority would be to...
	We can force people to do something or we can educate them and allow them to make that change themselves, which would be forever lasting.
	And if we as consumers, and I think, you know how I said five years ago, we started seeing this big push because of COVID towards functional medicine and the demands of patients who want more.
	I think we're also going to start seeing this big push from patients when they start to realize.
	And people in general, when they start to realize, I really would want to work on mindset rather than force someone into something.
	Because unfortunately, if you want that box of sugar cereal, you're going to get that box of sugar cereal one way or another.
	Okay, Dr. Williams, let me clarify that I'm not talking about forcing people to not purchase those products.
	I'm saying we shouldn't be incentivizing them with other people's money.
	So we are subsidizing poison.
	And then we end up paying the health care costs associated with the diabetes, the heart disease, the cancer.
	So we pay 100 times more on the back end with Medicare and Medicaid.
	So that seems insane.
	Now, if parents want to go out and buy Pop-Tarts themselves and feed their 4-year-old a case of Pop-Tarts every day, yeah, that's their choice.
	I'm not going to say that should be outlawed, but we shouldn't be subsidizing it is all I'm saying.
	We should definitely not be supporting that action.
	I agree with you 100%.
	And we should not be subsidizing corn, especially not in this day and age.
	Right.
	I appreciate where it may have been important, but now, you know, there's these loopholes.
	If I make more corn, so then we're going to stop at nothing.
	We will stop at nothing that will hinder us from making more corn.
	So we will use the best genetically modified seals that will increase the yield of crop the most.
	Irrespective and irregardless of what it's actually causing to the human health and wellness down the road.
	So when you're a farmer, that's what your motivation will be.
	And if you're a businessman or woman and you're a farmer, you're going to do that.
	You're going to find the most...
	How can you get the most yield?
	You'd be silly not to, right?
	And so the problem is that incentive needs to go away in order to get these...
	I don't recall who said this, but show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcomes.
	It's really that clear.
	Okay, we're about to wrap this up, but I want to give you an opportunity to mention there are numerous bonus items that you've included in your course for those who do choose to purchase it and support what we're doing here.
	You've got 20 plus resources.
	I've got the list here, but are there any that you specifically want to mention or should I go through the list?
	Well, we have the e-book.
	So we have the whole course in a book form for people who want to follow it through a book, which a lot of my patients like to take notes.
	And so that was birthed out of doing this class over and over and over again and people wanting, you know, the slides.
	And a lot of times it's to show their loved ones.
	Like we have a slide that we created with the tree of life, which on the top part of the tree, the leaves with all the...
	All the illnesses and diseases, but in the root of the trees where all the root causes of these diseases are and where we focus our time and energy.
	Of course, there's no money looking at root cause and underneath what's on the bottom.
	You know, in terms of pharmaceuticals.
	So there's no money to be had, but true healing happens in the roots.
	So we have diagrams like that that our patients have wanted over the years.
	So we included it.
	We created an e-book for that.
	We also included 20 extra handouts.
	Some of the handouts are things like the SMART goal setting, changing your mindset.
	We have you do a personality assessment test to find the characteristics of your personality that are the strongest so you can use those characteristics to really help empower you to make changes that are everlasting in your own life.
	So we go through all of that.
	We also have recipe cards.
	These recipe cards are from my kitchen.
	They're recipes that I've made for years.
	To help sustain my family in health and wellness, my daughter who's coming home today from college for Easter break, spring break, she can't wait to get home to eat real food, which is really sad that college is, you know, and we have a lot of vegetables and fruit in our refrigerator, so it's not like we've got a pantry full of junk food or sugary foods and things like that.
	And also, I do a lot of work with EMF, and we included an EMF blanket.
	That's kind of a big deal because we just want people to start increasing their self-awareness of the EMF toxicity.
	Yeah, really good point.
	We talked about that in more detail in a previous interview.
	But there's a lot that is offered through your course.
	I want to encourage people to sign up and at least just watch it for free.
	It's at brightu.com.
	It begins streaming March 22nd through the 27th.
	And again, free with registration to watch the entire course.
	One episode each day is on a continuous loop.
	And then there's all those bonus materials if you choose to purchase it.
	And thank you for supporting us.
	And also, Dr. Williams, thank you for taking the time to join us today.
	It's been a great conversation.
	Very, very informative.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Mike, for having me.
	It's been my pleasure.
	It's been a lot of fun.
	I love to talk with people like you who are well-informed about nutrition, health, and food.
	So we'll talk again soon, and have a great day.
	Thank all of you for watching.
	I'm Mike Adams here at Brighteon.com.
	Also, BrightU.com is the website where you can register to watch this docu-series.
	Thank you for joining us today, and be well, everybody.
	Together, with this knowledge, we can truly make America healthy again.
	All it takes is knowledge and then applying it.
	That's it.
	It really is that simple.
