	So these are extraordinary times, as you can probably tell.
	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News.
	This is Wednesday, June 18th, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	I've got a lot to share with you here.
	First, I want to thank you for all of your positive reactions to my new song that I previewed for you here yesterday.
	It's called We're Running Out of Time.
	And unexpectedly, I got a tremendous amount of positive feedback.
	That song really resonated with people.
	I felt the same way, obviously, and it really spoke to me.
	I put a lot of work into that song, and the message is really critical, and the message is that we have to love each other if we're going to survive as a species.
	But obviously, much of the world, or at least the leaders, the political leaders of our current world, at least the, well, it's all over the world, this problem is that the leaders, And that's not what the people want all over the world.
	And so what really needs to happen in order to have this spiritual revolution is that we need the heart-filled people to replace the demonic entities that are currently in power in places like Israel, for example.
	You know, North Korea.
	Too many examples to go through here.
	There are a lot of evil leaders all over the world.
	But I'll play that song for you here again sometime today because I know that you love the song and I will have the official music video coming out at some point here.
	Obviously, we are in a World War III scenario and I can assure you that the United States is already involved in the war.
	That World War III has already begun, and that the U.S. is going to use stealth bombers to drop bunker buster bombs on Iran, and that could happen within hours or days.
	And I know that for a number of reasons, but one of which is that I've already seen it and I've already played the video for you of the stealth bombers flying over the desert.
	Because, well, the consciousness-directed Molecular self-assembly experiment that I've been conducting has already depicted that scene.
	Already done.
	And just to quickly review what I showed you yesterday, this experiment in...
	I mean, I initially called it molecular remote viewing, and some people have pointed out that it's not the same as remote viewing, which is fine.
	I'm calling it now...
	But yesterday I showed you the image of an F-14 that was found on this same slide.
	This is the war slide, war in the Middle East slide, that I initially started publishing June 2nd.
	And I just want to remind you, let me show you what that is, because I have something really extraordinary to reveal here.
	So to my editor, go ahead and place the image of the side-by-side, the F-14.
	From the slide beside the F-14 from the satellite imagery.
	And that right there shows you how similar they are.
	And remember, it was two days ago that Israel attacked and destroyed this F-14 on the tarmac in Iran.
	And let me also show you the video of that satellite destruction taking place.
	So let's just roll that video here while I'm talking.
	Or the satellite video of the bombing taking place.
	So then, because people are naturally skeptical, people ask me to show you, to prove to you that that F14 image actually came from that slide.
	And so I've got that for you now.
	This particular image is in quadrant C4.
	Funny that it's C4, but that's the quadrant on this slide.
	As I've shown you before, I've numbered them on the vertical axis, A, B, C, D, E, etc.
	And then on the horizontal axis, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.
	And each one of those squares is about one square centimeter.
	So A1 is a square centimeter, and A2 is a square centimeter, etc.
	And each square centimeter is a massive, massive image, hundreds of thousands of pixels across.
	So let me show you this picture now.
	Let's just go to F14 image 1. So this is the zoomed in, cropped image that I've shown you before.
	There it is.
	There's the F14.
	Exact shape of the F14.
	You can see the cockpit, the engine collings.
	You can see the wings, the tail, the shadow.
	You can even see the texture of the tarmac right there.
	So again, it's a near exact image.
	Now we're going to zoom out just slightly.
	And I'm going to show you what I have image 2 for you here.
	So slightly zoomed out, you can still see in the center of the frame, that's the F14.
	And now you start to see some of the other crystal structures around it.
	And then I'm going to zoom out even more to the third image, which shows you even more context.
	But it's still right there in the center.
	And then I'm going to zoom...
	And I'm going to show you now the fourth image, F14 image 4. And here, this is showing you what you can see with the naked eye if you were to just take the slide and hold it up and look really closely at it.
	Or if you were to look at it with a magnifying glass, you could see this.
	It's hard to see the F14 in this image unless you know where to look.
	But it's near the center.
	It's just to the right of center.
	And the notable thing about it is it's right on the edge of the crystal next to that kind of, I don't know, kind of dark circle ledge looking thing.
	Hard to describe, but there it is.
	So I want to show you those four images demonstrating that indeed that F14 is on that slide.
	And it's there.
	It's there physically.
	It's there physically.
	And I'm saving that slide, and that's the same slide, like I said before, that also showed the stealth bombers and showed the one-horned ram, etc.
	So I am engaged in additional scans on this slide.
	And there has been, as of today, we have another confirmation of the slide coming true.
	So remember yesterday when I told you that there's an image I did not want to show you because I thought it might be...
	And remember what I said about it, that it looked like an explosion over a city.
	I didn't know if it was a nuclear explosion or a massive explosion, but it was something substantial.
	A large explosion with what looked like buildings or a cityscape in front.
	And I'm going to go ahead and show you that image today because there has been a massive detonation.
	That resembles this that just happened in the last few hours in Iran.
	And I'll bring you the report on that, but let me show you this image.
	So here's the image.
	The fragment near the top, there's a couple pieces there.
	Those are dust particles, by the way, so you can kind of ignore those.
	But what I'm seeing here is a massive dome, kind of an explosion dome with fiery, a little bit of fiery colors in it, a little bit of fire in the sky.
	And then what looks like tall buildings in the foreground that resembles Tehran.
	Let me show you an image of Tehran so that you can understand what the city actually looks like.
	So as you can see here, the Tehran skyline, or sort of cityscape, looks like all these buildings and with this massive mountain range in the background.
	That I saw, flipping back to that, shows a very similar scene of what looks like these rows of buildings in the foreground and then this massive explosive cloud that's taking place.
	Now, again, I'm only showing this to you because this already happened.
	In this case, it was such a destructive event, I did not want to contribute to the...
	So, I didn't show it until today.
	But this is on the same slide, and I can easily prove that.
	That's child's play at this point.
	But let me show you the following video, because there's been a massive detonation somewhere in Tehran, perhaps near one of the nuclear facilities.
	It's not clear.
	But let me show you this video.
	All right, so I can't read this, and I don't know for sure who took this video or from what angle it was taken.
	I don't even really know if it's today.
	There's no way for me to confirm it, but this was posted today, and it's consistent with what's happening in Iran.
	But here we go.
	We're going to freeze it right here at about 24, 25 seconds.
	Let's freeze it right there.
	And there you go.
	And especially in the daytime, you're going to see the cityscape more clearly.
	And it's very sad that we are entering this war.
	But the reason I'm even pointing this out is because I think the universe is telling us, the universe is screaming at us to stop murdering each other.
	The universe is saying we must have peace or we will destroy ourselves and each other.
	So although this image is not a perfect match of this particular video, as we've had other images that are perfect matches, this is a close match, not a perfect match, but it's still indicative.
	And there's no question in my mind, I've seen enough evidence now that War is coming.
	Trump has already made the decision.
	He's going to do everything to appease Israel.
	And we're going to find ourselves in World War III.
	Trump is getting bad intel.
	He's trusting Netanyahu, who is a demonic liar.
	Trump appears to have been worm-tongued into this, where, you know, worm-tongue is speaking into his ear all the time.
	And there might be a bunch of worm-tongues around him.
	And as a result, he's under a spell.
	Trump is under a spell.
	Trump has been, well, he is spellbound by dark sorcery.
	That's probably the best way to describe it.
	And in that sense, you could say that it's not Trump himself.
	It's not the Trump that we once knew that's making these decisions.
	But it's a Trump that is under a sorcerer's spell.
	And since Netanyahu is a literal minion of Satan, Netanyahu has those skills.
	Spellbinding skills.
	Sorcerer's skills.
	And he has been weaving spells over the West for decades.
	Decades.
	And he's become very good at it.
	So that's part of what's going on right now.
	And what I want to cover with you here today, well, several things.
	Is that Trump has now publicly demanded the unconditional surrender of Iran, which will not happen.
	Russia has issued an announcement saying that Israel is risking escalation to nuclear war.
	We have news about gold being announced now as the world reserve currency.
	I'll get to that story.
	We have breaking news about a massive censorship effort that's coming to America.
	I've received confirmation that Trump's White House is going to engage in massive censorship of conservatives across America and the lists are being built for that and websites are going to be pulled down and people's accounts will be shuttered on social media and the White House is making this list.
	And Laura Loomer is publicly calling for all of Trump's detractors to be punished by Trump.
	She's just made that call publicly.
	The real personality of Loomer is coming out.
	like Jekyll and Hyde, you know, were getting the...
	Was it Jekyll or Hyde?
	I think it was...
	Anyway, the Jackal is coming out to play, apparently.
	We've also got some content here about what's going to happen as the war begins.
	I also want to give a shout out to Scott Ritter and he and Garland Nixon and Dennis Kucinich and some other folks are putting together a freedom, It's a Freedom online event.
	I don't even know the website for it.
	But I believe it's happening.
	Maybe today.
	Maybe it's all week.
	Maybe it's this weekend.
	But Scott Ritter is involved.
	Gerald Salenti is helping to organize it.
	I think it's taking place.
	It might be taking place at Gerald Salenti's property in upstate New York.
	I'm not exactly sure.
	But if you want to hear that event, and I recommend that you do, then see if you can find that, check it out, and tune into that.
	I will try to reach out and find out more details about that and see if I can bring you the links for that.
	So one other thing I want to show you here, just to get things rolling, I want to show you that...
	Just slaughtered him.
	Showing that Ted Cruz is just a complete moron when it comes to knowing what he's talking about.
	Now, for the record, Ted Cruz, IQ-wise, is not a moron.
	He's actually a very bright, very capable person.
	In terms of his cognition.
	Of course, he's one of the two senators of Texas, and of course he's a full-blown Zionist, right?
	Ted Cruz has been good on some things, like the Second Amendment and supporting border protection for Texas, some things like that.
	He's done other good work.
	Senator Cruz, it's a mixed bag with him, in my opinion, but he is 100% on board with Zionism, and he's a warmonger.
	And he's becoming more and more like John McCain every single day, which is really saying something.
	Seems like everybody's becoming McCain, you know?
	It's like, McCain is being cloned!
	The spirit of McCain has resurfaced!
	Anyway, check out this video clip between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz and be amazed.
	And gosh, I thought we had laws against public homicide with words, but...
	How many people living around, by the way?
	I don't know the population.
	At all?
	No, I don't know the population.
	You don't know the population in the country you seek to topple?
	How many people living around?
	92 million.
	Okay.
	How could you not know that?
	I don't sit around memorizing population tables.
	Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government.
	Why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million?
	Why is that relevant?
	Because if you don't know anything about the country, Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran?
	They are Persians and predominantly Shia.
	Okay, this is cute.
	You don't know anything about Iran.
	Okay, I am not the Tucker Carlson expert on Iran.
	You're a senator who's calling for the overthrow of the government and you don't know anything about the country.
	No, you don't know anything about the country.
	You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump.
	No, I'm not saying that.
	You're the one who can't figure out if it was a good idea to kill General Soleimani and you said it was bad.
	You don't believe they're trying to murder Trump.
	Yes, I do.
	Because you're not calling for military strikes against them in retaliation.
	Okay, we're carrying out military strikes today.
	You said Israel was.
	Right, with our help.
	I said we.
	Israel is leading them, but we're supporting them.
	Well, you're breaking news here because the U.S. government last night denied, the National Security Council spokesman Alex Pfeiffer denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all.
	We're not bombing them.
	Israel's bombing them.
	You just said we were.
	We are supporting Israel.
	This is high stakes.
	You're a senator.
	If you're saying the United States government is at war with Iran right now, people are listening.
	Hey.
	So.
	There you go, folks.
	Just wow.
	And Tucker Carlson is right on this, and Trump should listen to Tucker Carlson, by the way.
	I'm very happy to see Tucker Carlson questioning Ted Cruz.
	You know, I guess Ted Cruz can't handle questions unless it's softball, Fox News, drivel.
	But if it's real journalism, Cruz can't handle it at all.
	I mean, I've even...
	We've talked about population figures.
	I've told you that Iran is predominantly Islam.
	What have I said?
	Like 95-96% Islam.
	And that it's Shia.
	Shia Islam.
	I mean, how does Ted Cruz not know that?
	I mean, I thought that's just basic geopolitical information.
	It would be like asking Ted Cruz, hey, what's the dominant religion in Pakistan?
	And if he didn't know that that's like almost all Islam, then how is he a senator?
	How is he voting on wars and geopolitical issues if he doesn't know this information?
	It would be like not knowing the population of India, or not knowing the religious affiliation of Turkey, or not knowing the population of China, or not knowing where the Panama Canal is, or where the Suez Canal is, or what country.
	Controls the land around the Suez Canal.
	These are just very, very basic.
	Isn't this like high school level geopolitical trivia here?
	Or, okay, if it's not high school level, certainly a senator should know this.
	You know, Senator Cruz, there are people now calling for Cruz to resign.
	That's not going to happen, of course, and we could do a lot worse than Senator Cruz.
	Could be, what's that left-wing lunatic that tried to run for Governor Beto?
	Beto?
	Betaman?
	What was his name?
	I mean, we could do a lot worse than Cruz, okay?
	So I'm not calling for Cruz to resign.
	I'm just saying Cruz should learn something about the world before he wages war on it.
	That's all I'm saying.
	Seems like common sense.
	Nevertheless, Cruz is incredibly embarrassed right now, and he says he refuses to play the game of gotcha.
	Well, it's not a gotcha game when it's basic stuff that you should already know.
	Like, if I say to you, you know, what's 5 plus 5?
	And if you say, I don't know, stop playing gotcha, then I'm like, you're an idiot.
	You know, it's, come on.
	Now, before continuing, I want to read a post for you that I put out there, or at least part of it.
	This is about the censorship that's coming.
	So, quote, Red alert, we are going into a major war and there will be extreme censorship under a new Office of War Information, the OWI, for 2025, but it's not going to be named OWI.
	Following my previous post on this subject, I received confirmation that the White House is indeed working up a social media ban list, and they will be rolling it out within days after the Bunker Buster bombs fall on Iran.
	So folks, pay attention here.
	The White House is going to wage massive, widespread censorship.
	Okay?
	Just like the radical left, the authoritarianism has just shifted from the left to the right.
	The goal, of course, is to silence all dissent and control the narrative to be 100% pro-Israel.
	But unlike the way the Democrats achieved this by routing ban lists through the DOD and offshore NGOs, then back to big tech, in this case, the bans will be handled domestically under the U.S. Department of State, citing national security as the reason.
	I'm told there will be many thousands of accounts banned across all major social media, and lists have already been largely compiled.
	Rubio will have the list, and it's not a coincidence that Rubio is also currently serving as the National Security Advisor, the NSA, meaning he has the access channels to push a censorship list through.
	No word yet on whether web domains will be seized by state, but it seems possible.
	And I said, I'm just skipping ahead, this isn't the first time that our government will have engaged in widespread wartime censorship.
	Now I'm quoting from the EBSCO website, EBSCO.com, about U.S. censorship and war propaganda during World War II.
	During World War II, the United States implemented significant censorship and propaganda efforts to support its war objectives.
	As the conflict escalated, President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized the need for organized propaganda.
	and established various agencies including the Office of War Information, the OWI, and the Office of Censorship.
	They literally had an Office of Censorship.
	These agencies aimed to disseminate information that bolstered public support for the war while suppressing dissenting views.
	Propaganda was delivered through an array of media including films, posters, radio broadcasts, and comics.
	Effectively mobilizing the American public and promoting wartime values.
	Some of which include convincing the American people, by the way, to gather up all their metal and turn it into the government to have it melted down to make weapons and tanks and bullets and things like that.
	It's like, turn in your metal!
	Can you believe that?
	Iconic symbols such as Rosie the Riveter emerged to represent women's contributions to the workforce.
	I think Rosie the Riveter could make a comeback as a transgender.
	What do you think?
	Rosie the Riveter is actually a man.
	But that gal can rivet, let me tell you.
	She can rivet all day, all night, better than Bruce Jenner.
	So, there you go.
	Rosie the Riveter may be making a comeback as a transgender.
	The OWI coordinated numerous campaigns.
	To encourage military enlistment, like, hey, everybody sign up and die for Israel, you know?
	And the purchase of war bonds, which is give us your money so we can waste it on war.
	Yeah.
	As well as to promote resource conservation on the home front.
	Like, how dare you want to buy butter?
	You know, I remember my grandparents, the grandparents that I mentioned before who lived in a tent after the Great Depression.
	I remember my grandmother telling me that they had, I think she said they had like butter stamps or something.
	Like coupons.
	Pieces of paper that you would get from the government that entitled you to a certain amount of butter.
	And I don't know, they must have had coupons for different things like milk.
	But butter was a big deal.
	Like it was hard to get butter.
	For some reason you had to You had to have a ticket.
	You had to wait in line for maybe hours to get some butter.
	So, tough times.
	So, let's see.
	The dual approach of propaganda and censorship was crucial in maintaining morale and commitment during a pivotal moment in U.S. history.
	So, of course, this is coming again.
	So, the reason I'm bringing this up to warn you about this is to say that when this war begins, Potentially hours or days away.
	Before long, that is, unless the White House backs off of this plan for some reason, there will be massive censorship efforts.
	Basically, the Office of War Propaganda or War Information or the Office of Censorship will be resurrected, and Rosie the Riveter will tell you that you should cheer for America while we bomb those people over there.
	Those horrible people that we've never met, that we don't even know, that Ted Cruz has no idea how many even exist, we're just going to bomb them all into oblivion because we're America!
	America!
	F yeah!
	We're here to save the mother effin' day, yeah!
	America!
	F yeah!
	Yeah, I should play that clip for you.
	Yeah, cover your ears if you're sensitive to the F-bombs.
	I'm going to play the America F-Yeah music video from the movie Team America World Police, which is rather hilarious.
	Check this out.
	America!
	Fuck yeah!
	Coming again to save the motherfucking day, yeah!
	America!
	Fuck yeah!
	Freedom is the only way, yeah!
	Terrorists, your game is through,'cause now you have to answer to America!
	Fuck yeah!
	So lick my butt and suck on my balls, America!
	Fuck yeah!
	What you gonna do when we come for you now?
	It's the dream that we all share, it's the whole world tomorrow!
	Fuck yeah!
	Pagano's!
	Walmart!
	The gas!
	Baseball!
	NFL!
	Rock and roll!
	Fuck yeah!
	Internet!
	Fuck yeah!
	Slickery!
	Fuck yeah!
	Fuck yeah!
	Yeah!
	you Alright, apologies for all the profanity there, but we are on the verge of World War III, and you got, basically, Ted Cruz could be singing that song right now.
	Just, we're gonna blow up the world!
	Yeah, we're gonna bomb the only foreigners!
	You know, it's just a totally insane situation that we're living in right now, and you're about to see a false flag operation.
	That's going to either attack the USS Nimitz, or it's going to attack a military base, or it's going to bomb probably U.S. cities, and there's going to be thousands of Americans that die in the false flag.
	It'll be probably run by Mossad, just like 9-11, involving the CIA and the U.S. deep state.
	Thousands of Americans will die, and then the media will talk about how Iran did it.
	Iran did it.
	You know, just like the Democrats are always saying, it's Russia!
	It's Russia!
	Well, Trump's going to say, it's Iran!
	It's Iran!
	Well, he'll say, Iran.
	Like, Iran from the angry dog.
	No.
	It's Iran.
	But we'll blame it on Iran, right?
	And then all the American people are going to jump on top of this song, America!
	Bomb them!
	Yeah!
	And everybody's going to get on board, and it's going to be a massive death cult, ritualistic, bloodletting, demonic, fireworks celebration.
	By July 4th.
	So, that's what you're about to see.
	Just to be clear, that's why I don't care about the profanity today.
	You are about to witness a global, ritualistic, satanic death cult pretending to be self-defense run by apocalyptic end times Zionist demons who are their own special cult combined with Largely boomer evangelical Christians that support Trump, who are living in their own cult world, and they're also part of a suicide cult.
	They can't wait to drink the Zion Kool-Aid.
	And they all think that Jesus is going to come out of the sky and save them, and they're going to ride away on a white horse with Jesus.
	But of course, the Zionists don't believe in Jesus, so they think there is no Jesus.
	There's just God's going to save them.
	But the evangelicals are like, no, it's Jesus going to save us.
	And actually, they're all going to hell.
	They're all going to hell because they are nothing but death merchants.
	They cheer for death and destruction and God will judge them all very harshly.
	Well, technically the universe will judge them harshly or they will judge themselves.
	So I've got my first special report to play for you here.
	It's called Censorship Warning.
	Trump White House will push heavy censorship once the war begins.
	Let's go to that report and then we'll continue.
	An urgent alert about how to stay connected when war is declared and the Trump administration goes on a massive censorship spree to protect Zionist Israel.
	That's what's coming.
	So, of course, Trump is taking us to war.
	Of course, he's obeying the Zionists.
	Of course, it's obvious now they have blackmail material on Trump.
	Elon Musk had said that Trump is in the Epstein files.
	And that's why you're never going to see the Epstein files released.
	And Trump is right now ignoring his own DNI, the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
	When she says that Iran does not have nuclear weapons, he's ignoring her, and instead he's trusting Netanyahu, a proven, repeated liar.
	And Trump is saying that he believes that Iran is very close to having nuclear weapons, even though Israel has been stating that for What, 30 plus years?
	It's the same thing over and over again.
	And so Trump is all in with Israel.
	That's become very clear right now.
	He's going to take us to war.
	Stealth bombers are going to be dropping bunker buster weapons on key targets in Iran.
	There's a good chance this whole thing goes nuclear.
	As that's happening, Trump will order the federal government to start seizing domain names and shutting down websites.
	Any websites that are critical of Israel.
	The goal will be to protect Israel at all costs and to protect the narrative that paints Iran as the bad guys no matter what and Israel as the good guys no matter what.
	That's going to be the goal.
	And in order to do that, the Trump administration will order the seizing of accounts or the shutting down of accounts across not just Truth Social, But across Rumble, across X, all other prominent platforms, anybody who is sufficiently critical of Israel will be shut down by order of Trump.
	And like I said before, some domain names will be seized by the State Department.
	How do we know?
	because this is the model that NATO and the West use in Ukraine.
	Remember that in Ukraine, you're not allowed All independent media was shut down.
	People were arrested or assassinated by the Zelensky regime.
	And the only media that's even allowed in the country, a country without any elections, a country with a leader whose term expired a year ago, he's not even technically in charge.
	But Ukraine served as a model for what the West wants to do in America.
	The level of censorship, banning political parties, banning elections or suspending elections indefinitely because you're in a state of war.
	That's what's coming to America.
	So there are some really critical pointers I need to share with you.
	Number one, you know that our platform called Brighteon.io, this is censorship resistant.
	It's a decentralized blockchain driven platform.
	And it's free to join, and no one can be censored on that platform.
	There are no central servers.
	Servers can't be seized.
	And if you download the app for it, and there's an apps page that you can find there.
	There's apps for, I think, Android and Linux and Windows and Mac.
	I don't know if iPhone has one or not.
	But if you download the app, And use that, you do not need domain names to work.
	So even if DNS servers are altered or seized upon by the government to shut off key websites at brighttown.io using the app, you can still bypass that and you can still send and receive messages.
	So that is our emergency backup comms platform.
	And if...
	On top of that, we also have brighteon.social, where we, of course, will not be censoring accounts just because, you know, the White House wants us to.
	There at Brighttown.social, we respect freedom of speech.
	It's a pro-First Amendment social media site, a thriving community with a lot of breaking news.
	It's actually the best place to go for breaking news.
	So check all that out.
	Go to Brighttown.social, join up.
	It's free to join.
	It's free to use.
	It's all free, just like Brighttown.io is also free.
	In addition, I'm on Telegram at Real Health Ranger.
	And I'm posting everything on Telegram as well.
	Now, Telegram, of course, there's some level of governments trying to pressure Telegram to censor certain accounts.
	And as a result, some accounts do get censored, at least in certain countries, like Poland.
	I don't know what's going to happen with Telegram.
	I think overall Telegram is defending freedom of speech.
	So I have an account there.
	Obviously I have, Health Ranger.
	Those will probably go down, though, when this war begins.
	So you'll want to go directly to naturalnews.com.
	I'll be posting a lot more alerts there when that day comes.
	And if naturalnews.com is taken down, we have hundreds of backup domains.
	In addition to backup domains, we have then the platforms that I already mentioned.
	Bottom line is, it looks to me like Trump is entirely compromised by Israel, by the Zionists, and he's going to do whatever they want.
	He's going to push censorship in the USA.
	The United States is an occupied country.
	It's occupied by Zionist operatives.
	Washington, D.C. is totally occupied and controlled by Zionism.
	And that happened the day that Trump won the election.
	Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that Trump won the election in the sense that I certainly, I mean, things would have been even more insane under the Democrats.
	Far worse under the Democrats.
	So, I'm grateful that the Democrats did not win, but this came at a cost, a cost that I was well aware of, which is why I did not vote for Trump.
	And I even said publicly, the reason I'm not voting for Trump is because his loyalty is to Zionism.
	Not America.
	And that has turned out to be absolutely true.
	So, you know, look, I'm glad we don't have Democrats in charge, but the things that Trump is doing show that Trump is also controlled.
	He's controlled by Israel, and they're going to push censorship, and they're going to push domain seizures and shutdowns as they push a massive war that will end up being the Vietnam of the Middle East.
	American soldiers will bleed and die in this war.
	The American economy will get wrecked.
	And almost certainly the Democrats will sweep back into power in the midterms.
	And if we even make it that far at the next presidential election as well.
	So very sad to me to see that Trump is sacrificing America on the altar of Zionism.
	This is a blood ritual sacrifice.
	He didn't have to do it.
	Technically, there's still time for him to turn away from this.
	He should listen to Tucker Carlson.
	He should listen to Steve Bannon.
	He should listen to Owen Schroer and Harrison Smith and others who are calling for us to get out of this insane war.
	No blood for Israel.
	No bombing of Iran.
	We've got to put America first because we have so many...
	Let Israel fight its own wars.
	If it wants to start wars, it should fight them.
	But stay informed, stay tuned.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	And you can follow me for the moment at brighttown.com and naturalnews.com.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	All right.
	Hope you're enjoying the show so far, the end-of-the-world entertainment.
	Russia has announced that Israel is risking, quote, nuclear catastrophe.
	And I'm reading from RT, which is funded by Russia, of course.
	It says that the Jewish state's attacks on Iran are illegal.
	And threaten global stability, says the Russian Foreign Ministry.
	It risks plunging the world into a catastrophe.
	Quote, the ongoing intensive attacks by the Israeli side on peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran are illegal.
	From the point of view of international law, they create unacceptable threats to international security and push the world towards a nuclear catastrophe, said the Russian Foreign Ministry.
	That was a statement published on Tuesday.
	And it urged Israeli leadership to, quote, come to its senses and immediately stop raids on nuclear installations.
	And the Russian foreign ministry furthermore said that the Jewish state is supported by countries acting as accomplices, which would be the United States.
	So it's critical to point out here that Russia...
	It's not the same as Article 5 under NATO.
	It's not a mutual defense treaty of sorts, but it's some level of commitment to aid each other.
	For example, for Russia to provide anti-air defense systems to Iran, or probably technology transfers, maybe some of that involving hypersonic missiles.
	And I think Iran has already benefited from that in some ways and I think also Russia has been purchasing some drones from Iran because Iran is quite adept at drone manufacturing.
	So Russia will not sit by idly, I don't think, and just watch Iran be destroyed and overrun.
	What the West wants is regime change.
	And they think they can achieve regime change in Iran as easily as they achieved it in Syria, which was shockingly easy.
	And that did shock the world.
	And perhaps, perhaps Israel, I mean, Mossad is very capable.
	Perhaps Mossad has a plan and the U.S. has a plan.
	I mean, you already hear them calling for regime change.
	Maybe they've got enough secret agents and enough assassins and enough whatever to try to pull that off.
	I guess we're going to find out, but I'm skeptical that they can achieve regime change in Iran.
	More likely, they will fail at that effort and the Iranian people will become even more determined to resist that and it will strengthen their support for their current government.
	That's typically what happens when you start bombing a country.
	The current leadership actually becomes more powerful and more solidified in their political power.
	That's always the case.
	Or nearly always.
	So it's going to be very difficult to unseat the current leadership of Iran.
	And even if you assassinate more of them, which Israel seems willing to do, there are just others that take their place.
	You know, you've got 90 million people there.
	Don't tell Senator Cruz.
	He's still counting.
	But you've got 90 million people there.
	They can replace assassinations of 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 or 500.
	They can replace them.
	And never forget, the Iranian people are not stupid.
	In fact, it's a smart culture.
	Smart people.
	It's the cradle of civilization in so many ways.
	Many of the inventions throughout history came out of Persia.
	And I don't think, I mean, I'm going to have to go back and check my history, but I don't think that Persia has been successfully conquered.
	At least not in the last thousand years by any large outside force.
	I know Persia has had its own internal strife and revolutions.
	Obviously the West was involved in all kinds of internal shenanigans, the Shah and all that nonsense.
	But in terms of an outside country engaging in military conquests and overthrowing Iran, I'd have to check the history books on this.
	But I don't think that's been successful.
	You know what?
	Let me fact check that.
	Let me check AI on that.
	Okay, so AI is telling me that Alexander the Great conquered the, what is it, the Achaemenid Empire between the years 334 BC and 330 BC.
	okay, so that's, you know, over 2,000 years ago, I wasn't, That's the year 654.
	So that's also a long time ago.
	Let's see, in 490 BC, the Persian forces were defeated by the Athenians at the Battle of Marathon.
	Okay, well, we're not talking about before...
	I'm saying, has there been any time in the last few centuries that Persia has been conquered?
	And I'm not seeing that.
	I'm seeing Alexander the Great, and that's a long time ago.
	And you know, Senator Ted Cruz doesn't know that there's 90 million people in Iran, and most Americans don't know that there's mountains in Iran, which is really hilarious.
	Yeah.
	They just think it's this giant flat desert where tanks can just roll in and bombs can roll in and stealth bombers can just bomb everything.
	It's just sand and dirt and everybody wears sandals and they ride camels.
	That's the typical uninformed American view of things.
	It's kind of like when I traveled to the East Coast or when I did years ago and I would run into East Coast people and They would say, where are you from?
	And I would say, Texas.
	One time I said Texas, and they said, do you ride horses out there?
	Do you ride horses to work?
	And many years earlier, because I'm from the Midwest, I remember I was in New York City, and I was on a subway train.
	This was like, I don't know, the 1980s or something.
	I was there with my family and we were touring New York and sat down on the subway and an older woman there was asking, where are you from?
	And I told her I'm from the Midwest and she said, is that where the hillbillies live?
	So Americans don't even know much about America, it turns out, and they know even less, by and large, about other countries.
	So they don't know Iran has mountains.
	And so as a result, when you have all these neocons, these, you know, warmongering morons in the Trump administration who are talking about, we're just going to defeat Iran, you know, America, F yeah.
	They just think you're going to roll in there with tanks and you're going to have like, you know, landing craft.
	You're going to land on the beaches.
	It's going to be like Normandy, you know, and we're just going to have soldiers.
	We're just going to roll in there with some Marines and we're just going to take Iran.
	And imagine if they try that and then they roll up there and they're like, oh, there's mountains here.
	Oh, there's like 90 million people resisting us who know how to fight.
	Not what we expected.
	So you could not conquer Iran with a million soldiers.
	Not with a million.
	And the U.S. doesn't have anywhere near a million soldiers.
	Let me ask.
	Let's do some real-time research.
	Let's find out how many soldiers does the U.S. military have?
	All right, so I'm asking for the total number of active-duty military soldiers.
	Let's see.
	Oh, it says 1.31 million.
	Oh, okay.
	I was wrong.
	I guess there are over a million.
	Well, that's still not enough.
	Let's see.
	There are 762,000 Reserve and National Guard members.
	And then another 700,000 civilian employees, it says.
	So, okay.
	So you send 1.3 million U.S. military.
	You pull them out of everything else.
	You pull them all out of the South China Sea.
	You pull them out of Europe.
	You pull them out of all the military bases all over the world, including Japan and Korea, everywhere.
	You pull them all out of Ukraine.
	You pull them all out of Europe, Germany, Poland, Romania, everywhere.
	You send them all.
	To try to fight Iran, then maybe you could get a million soldiers there.
	You better have a million body bags and a million coffins and a million flags to drape over the coffins because they're all going to come home in body bags.
	You're not going to be able to defeat Iran, not with a million, not with 1.3 million, not with 2 million.
	It's not possible.
	And if you even tried that, Well, you think that Russia and China and Pakistan would just sit around and do nothing?
	No.
	They'd be nuking the bejesus out of U.S. forces and landing craft.
	I mean, there'd be Oreshnik missiles slamming into the military forces.
	Logistically, you couldn't even send a million troops to Iran.
	How would you get them there?
	We don't even have...
	We don't have a supply chain to even make that possible.
	Couldn't even feed them if you got them there.
	Couldn't provide the fuel.
	You couldn't even build the forward operating bases.
	It's not possible, okay?
	This isn't Desert Storm.
	This isn't 1991 all over again.
	That era is gone.
	Our military currently is a pale shadow of what it was even then.
	And with that force, you still couldn't defeat Iran.
	I mean, yeah, they walked all through Iraq because almost nobody fought back.
	I mean, those people weren't interested in fighting back, for the most part.
	They were just ready to surrender.
	And then look what happened.
	U.S. interests took over all the oil fields, and today, to this very day, every penny from the oil that comes out of Iraq is transferred to a transparation So yes, U.S. interests earn all the money from all the oil in Iraq.
	Did you know that?
	And the portion that's supposed to go to the government and the people of Iraq has never been released to them because the U.S. is just a bunch of pirates.
	They just pillage every country in the world and they never keep their promises and they just rape and pillage everywhere.
	They're doing it to this day in Iraq.
	So Iran's not going to negotiate with the West.
	They're not going to give in, I don't think.
	And if they are viciously attacked by Israel with, let's say, nuclear weapons, then Russia probably gets involved.
	And let me give you a quiz.
	How many nuclear ICBMs would it take Russia to destroy Tel Aviv?
	And the answer is, of course, but one.
	Just one.
	And it cannot be stopped by the joke dome, whatever, the iron dome, the paper mache dome, whatever Israel thinks it has there.
	Cannot stop it.
	One nuclear weapon will wipe out the whole city, and it will render the nation of Israel gone, wiped out, obliterated.
	giant mushroom cloud over Israel.
	And no, God's not It has everything to do with Satan.
	So maybe that's why Russia has a missile called Sarmat, which the West says is called Satan 2. It's like Russia sends a missile called Satan with nuclear warheads, and if that's not enough, they have Satan 2, like Satan 2.0, right?
	But that's just the name of the missile.
	The Israeli government is actually run by Satanists.
	They're living a satanic agenda every day.
	So the world will not weep if that scenario unfolds and Israel is stopped.
	The world will not weep.
	I mean, some people in the West, maybe Ted Cruz might weep.
	He wouldn't even know how many people were in Israel.
	That dude's got problems with integers, I think.
	But he would only be weeping because he would no longer get payoffs from AIPAC and all the laundered money from Israel.
	There'd be a lot of crying senators and crying house members just no longer getting money.
	But the rest of the world would actually breathe a sigh of relief that the satanic death agenda of modern day Zionism has been stopped.
	So where this is going next is, I mean, some of it's pretty obvious.
	Some variables we don't know, but One thing we do know is that the West needs war as a cover story for the financial reset that they need to take place no matter what.
	The great taking.
	And that is about to be initiated.
	And those of you who don't yet have gold, and if you don't have silver, you're going to be really hurting.
	So I've got a special report to play for you here, but let me just mention up front our gold and silver affiliate.
	On this is Battalion Metals, and you can find them at metalswithmike.com, metalswithmike.com.
	And again, they are our affiliate on metals, and it's actually the same company we've been working with for many years.
	They've launched a new venture, a new website, a new shopping site that's called Battalion Metals.
	But it's the same third-generation family, operated, trustworthy.
	High integrity, insured with vaulting services, all of that.
	So check them out if you want to get some gold and silver.
	And by the way, silver just went above $37 an ounce spot price.
	And as you recall, a couple of months ago, I told you on this podcast, I bought a chunk of silver at $30.
	I told you that day that this is a great price on silver.
	Remember me saying that?
	It was a few months ago.
	I said, silver?
	So if it drops under $30, I'm buying.
	So I placed an order that day, and it crept back up right at $30.
	I ended up buying it right at $30 spot price, or like $29.98 or something like that.
	Now it's worth $37 spot, and it's probably headed much, much higher as this war unfolds.
	So gold and silver are great choices.
	Also, don't forget about backup communications.
	You're going to need it when the power grid is You'll need satellite communications.
	So check out the Satellite Phone Store at sat123.com.
	They also have Starlink systems for satellite bandwidth.
	So here's my special report.
	War is the cover story for the Great Taking Financial Reset that's about to be activated.
	There is a 100% chance that Trump is taking us to war in the Middle East.
	Why?
	Well, because, of course, they need to take us to war to cover up all of the financial crimes of the federal government, money printing, the grift, the bribery, the kickbacks, everything.
	And it's not even Trump's fault that he inherited this whole thing.
	And it's not even really Trump himself that's responsible for the whole war scenario.
	He's just being dragged into something that's been engineered and shaped by the people around him and the deep state and the CIA and the Zionists, etc.
	And they all need a war in order to achieve a financial reset.
	So they need an explanation for why all your money disappeared or all the value of your money disappeared.
	Why your banks failed, why your pensions no longer function, why you're broke, why you can't afford to eat.
	And what's the explanation for that?
	Oh, they have to point the finger.
	Well, it's Iran, or it's Russia, or it's China.
	And there are some lunatic neocons in the Trump administration that want to go to war with all three at once at the same time.
	America couldn't defeat any one of those three countries.
	You know, much less all three together.
	Are you kidding me?
	But that's what some of the warmongers want to do.
	And the fact that they are going to war, the fact that Trump faked like he was negotiating with Iran, but then admitted that the whole thing was a ploy to go along with Israel to have a surprise attack on Iran.
	So Trump wasn't ever negotiating with Iran.
	He lied to us.
	He lied to the world when he said he was.
	He's not negotiating in good faith with Russia or China or Iran or anybody else.
	So it's all just theater.
	What is going to happen is that there's a great financial reset coming.
	And again, it's all being engineered.
	It's all by design.
	Did you know that Trump's company just applied for, I think, ETFs on Ethereum?
	And also, I think it was Bitcoin as well.
	Trump's people are getting very heavy into crypto.
	They have been for quite some time.
	And they're going to make sure that their assets are in a safe haven crypto space when the dollar collapses.
	And the dollar collapse is planned.
	It's inescapable.
	And it's designed to be the great taking.
	It's going to steal the assets that most people have.
	Take them away.
	And most people will be left with nothing.
	Now, if you understand the playbook, and I know most of you listening, you're well aware of this.
	You know the history of false flags.
	You know the truth about 9-11.
	You know the truth about the USS Liberty, that Israel tried to sink and murdered dozens of U.S. sailors to try to blame it on Egypt.
	You know, on and on, right?
	This whole history of false flags.
	Some of it involving Israel, some of it not.
	But the narrative that's shaping up right now is so obvious.
	The narrative is that there are going to be domestic terrorism attacks in the U.S. that might include dirty bombs, that might include nuclear weapons, etc.
	And then they're going to be blamed on Iran in order to get the American people to back the war against Iran.
	So that's the narrative that's coming.
	Now, the tricky thing about this narrative is that elements of it are true.
	And so the true part of it is that, yes, because of the Democrats' wide open borders, many enemies of America have come into this country.
	And there are terror cells or sabotage cells operating in the United States or waiting for activation.
	I've reported on that for years, and it's absolutely true.
	I mean, there are all kinds of weapons that have been smuggled in, and the experts that I've interviewed, like, So when the attacks actually happen in the United States, if they are false flags carried out by Israel, let's say, the narrative that these are attacks from Iranians or whoever,
	Afghans, Iraqis, whatever, that narrative will be very, very believable to almost everybody.
	It will be difficult for people to resist the narrative when some kind of big bomb goes off or some kind of 9-11 scale type of event with thousands of casualties of innocent Americans.
	That's going to shift the narrative so strongly in favor of war with Iran that it will be practically impossible to go against that without being called a traitor.
	And that's what happened after 9-11 also.
	You couldn't question 9-11.
	You couldn't question the government, the official narrative, anything.
	Couldn't question anything.
	If you did, you were called a traitor.
	That's why it's very important that I get this information out right now because I know what's coming and I know that censorship will kick in.
	Extreme censorship.
	People out there who are advocates of the administration like Laura Loomer are right now.
	Publicly making a list of anybody who criticizes Trump.
	And she's the same person who said that the government should use Palantir against protesters.
	So she's making a list of critics of Trump or critics of Israel in order to have them all censored.
	It's so abundantly obvious.
	This is a typical left-wing authoritarianism tactic, but it's being used by Laura Loomer.
	And there are others.
	Who are friends of the Trump administration, like Mark Levin, etc., Sean Hannity, who would no doubt support that because they all support censorship in order to protect Israel.
	So we're about to enter into a very dark era of extreme censorship in the United States in order to protect the narratives of Israel and to protect what really happened in Israeli-run false flag operations that will be blamed on Iran.
	That's clear now.
	They will be blamed on Iran.
	Even if they're blamed on another group, we will be told that group is funded by Iran.
	And that's all it's going to take.
	Almost all of America is going to go along with that.
	And then we're going to be in a multi-year war against Iran and against, ultimately, probably Russia and China.
	We're going to be in World War III, and there will be no free speech remaining in the United States.
	Anybody who tried to speak out will be censored, maybe even arrested like they do in Ukraine.
	You know, it's going to get insane.
	At that time, I will not be able to communicate with you through mainstream channels like X or Truth Social or anything like that.
	So we'll have to rely on the decentralized channels.
	And even then, in many ways, it might be pointless to try to go against You know, 90% of the American people, if they're emotionally whipped up into this, like, bloodlust vengeance.
	And that's what happened after 9-11.
	And that's undoubtedly going to happen again.
	So, I'm just giving you a heads-up warning.
	So, if that happens, you know, we may have to focus on just survival, financial preparedness, how to grow food, how to find food, you know, these kinds of issues.
	Because you're not going to be able to, in any way, extricate America from war.
	And I'll tell you this, even though I'm very, very critical of what appears to be Trump's loyalty to Zionism, and even though I'm very critical of America getting involved in more wars, especially that Trump campaigned against those wars, and he has apparently broken his campaign promise, but, you know, big surprise there.
	I am not going to join public protest.
	I'm not going out in a public place to just physically protest.
	Why?
	Well, that's where false flags happen, number one.
	It's a very dangerous thing to do.
	And I don't agree with most of the politics of the people who would be doing the protesting, you know?
	Most of the protesters would be so strongly anti-Trump that it would be like a Trump derangement syndrome protest.
	I am not in that group.
	I'm not pro-LGBT.
	I'm not pro-climate change lunacy.
	I'm not a Trump hater.
	I'm not a hater of Jews, for example.
	Not at all.
	I love all of humanity.
	And I don't oppose, I don't even oppose all Israelis, just the ones that are supporting Netanyahu, which is probably less than the majority of the country.
	So I would think that actually most Jews around the world agree with the basic premise of what I'm saying, which is let's not get into more wars.
	So, you know, just to be clear, I'm not...
	I'm not anti-Trump.
	I'm not even anti-Israel.
	I'm just anti-war.
	I want to have peace.
	I want to have security.
	And I'm also opposed to those who slaughter people.
	I'm anti-genocide.
	I'm anti-Satanism.
	That's my position.
	And whether Trump or Netanyahu fall into the definition of good or evil depends entirely, in my view, on their actions.
	Maybe see the light tomorrow and maybe he takes DMT or something and all of a sudden he's a changed man and he apologizes for all his decades of slaughter and he begs the world for forgiveness.
	Would you be willing to forgive him?
	I mean, I don't know.
	That's a personal question.
	But if he were to do those things, I would have nice things to say about him.
	Seeing the light and apologizing for all the destruction that he has unleashed, etc.
	It's the same story with Trump.
	I judge Trump by his actions.
	If the actions are aligned with core principles, such as liberty, such as peace, such as transparency, smaller government, etc., strong borders, Second Amendment rights, First Amendment rights, anti-censorship, etc.
	If Trump does those things, then I am 100% pro-Trump in that context, you know?
	I will praise Trump for those things.
	If Trump starts wars, then of course I'm going to criticize Trump.
	If Trump pushes censorship, of course I'm going to criticize Trump.
	So my principles have remained the same through all of this.
	My principles are the same.
	And I'm very open about my principles.
	Pro-liberty, pro-America, America first, for real.
	You know, pro-privacy.
	Pro-freedom of speech, pro-Second Amendment.
	I support taking suppressors off of the NFA, you know, suppressors and I guess drop-in binary triggers, things like that.
	I support freedom and liberty.
	My values have not changed.
	What changes is the various politicians that move in and out of My value system.
	Like when Trump says I'm for peace and I'm going to stop wars, then Trump is in my value system.
	I'm like, yay, Trump.
	That's awesome.
	And then if Trump steps out of that and says, no, we're going to bomb Iran and I don't trust my own DNI and I'm going to take the word of Netanyahu that he has intelligence that Iran is very close to nuclear weapons and so we're going to bomb Iran.
	Well, he does that.
	He steps out of my value system and then he's going to get some criticism.
	That's the way I work.
	My value system is always the same.
	People move in or out of that based on their own behavior and their own speech, and then I respond accordingly.
	Now, that said, it doesn't mean I've always been right about everything.
	I apologize at some point, I don't know, in 2021 or whatever it was, I was initially tricked.
	By the COVID fiasco, of course, I always spoke out against vaccines from day one.
	I told people what was coming.
	Those were going to be depopulation jabs.
	But at first, I thought that every precaution that we could take against the so-called the virus, which I no longer believe actually ever existed.
	But at the time, I thought it was real.
	I was convinced.
	Because I saw the fatalities in the hospitals and I could not believe that hospitals were murdering people.
	I just could not accept that.
	And so I thought they were dying from COVID.
	I thought the COVID numbers were real that were being reported.
	But I had to apologize because I was tricked.
	And I was too gullible.
	I underestimated the level of evil.
	I underestimated the fact that hospitals would deliberately murder patients to hike up.
	You know, the death numbers so they could blame COVID.
	I just, I did not think that was possible, but it was.
	So that was my mistake, and I apologize for that mistake publicly multiple times.
	So it's possible that I could be making a mistake in geopolitics, in the situation with Iran or Israel or what have you.
	I am open to Any new evidence that is either for or against my current conclusions, and I will adapt my conclusions appropriately, but I will not change my principles.
	So my principles are always to lean toward peace, to de-escalate violence.
	My principles are to respect the lives of all people, including children, including Palestinians, etc.
	I am opposed to these political assassinations that Israel repeatedly carries out.
	I'm opposed to their pager bombings.
	I'm opposed to false flags.
	I'm opposed to, you know, what Israel did on 9-11, etc.
	So it's going to take a lot of new information to change my mind about any of that.
	Like, I don't know how you could convince me that Israel isn't a sinister evil regime that engages in war crimes and brags about it.
	How they assassinated, you know, Nasrallah.
	In Lebanon, they hit civilian targets or they hit embassy-related buildings.
	They just carry out war crimes anytime they wish, okay?
	So that's like three strikes against Israel right there.
	And then as far as Trump goes, I would love to love Trump.
	I would love to see Trump make history as the greatest president in America's history.
	But what he's doing right now is headed in the opposite direction.
	He's actually on track to be a devastating figure in American history if he gets us trapped in another Vietnam in the Middle East.
	And his popularity will absolutely plummet.
	It's not difficult to see that.
	And the economic consequences in America would also be rather devastating.
	Part of me complaining about what Trump is doing is it's begging him to change.
	It's almost saying, you know, please, Mr. President, after all that Trump has been through, think about it, the assassination attempts and the multiple faked impeachments and the election rigging in 2020 and all that nonsense and, you know, the Russia collusion hoax, all the crap that they've dragged Trump through, he's positioned.
	To be the greatest president in American history, why would you throw all that away to just go all in with the Zionists and drag us into a war that will be devastating to our economy?
	And also to some of our troops, probably the ones stationed in our military bases, etc.
	It just seems to me, it seems very unwise.
	But, okay, granted, I don't have all the information that Trump has.
	I don't have, you know, super secret.
	Top clearance, everything.
	So, maybe Trump's operating on something that he can't tell us.
	I don't know.
	It sounds a lot like trust the plan.
	I don't trust the plan.
	But I'm open.
	And I'm open to be corrected on this.
	If that's the case, if Trump's sitting on a treasure trove of incredible real intelligence, not bull crap made up by Netanyahu, but real intelligence, and if he wants to actually I haven't seen anything like that yet, and all I've been hearing from people is just, I trust Trump.
	That's what people say.
	I trust Trump, that he's making the right decision for the right reason.
	Okay, well, I'm like Ronald Reagan.
	Trust but verify, okay?
	And actually, I really don't trust Trump.
	So I'm like, don't trust, but verify.
	I want to see the verification.
	If Trump's operating on some bombshell piece of intelligence that necessitates that we immediately bomb the smithereens out of Iran, I want to see that intelligence.
	If I don't see it, then this whole thing smacks of, you know, weapons of mass destruction, George Bush, Dick Cheney, that whole era of history, Colin Powell, you know, just...
	Deceivers and mass murderers, regime change, bullcrap.
	That's what this looks like to me.
	I am open to being wrong about it.
	If new information surfaces that is compelling, I will reconsider my position.
	Until then, I'm going to go with Occam's razor here.
	The simplest explanation is they're lying to us.
	They're lying to us to start a war.
	They need a war to cover the financial collapse.
	That's the simplest explanation as far as I can see.
	But tell me what you think.
	If you think I'm way off, let me know.
	If you think I'm right on, let me know.
	And upload your own videos to brighteon.com where you can exercise your free speech as well.
	I'm Mike Adams, The Health Ranger.
	Thank you for listening.
	Take care.
	All right.
	Welcome back.
	Hey, I want to play my song for you here today before I forget.
	And the song is, of course, We're Running Out of Time.
	And this is not the final music video, like I said yesterday, but it's kind of a placeholder, kind of a quick music video.
	But check out the words of the song, and I thank my editor for getting the lyrics in there, getting the captions there.
	Check out the song.
	People love it.
	It's a very important message for our time.
	We've got to learn to love each other, not just keep calling for mass death and destruction, which is what Israel's doing.
	That attitude of Israel has no place on planet Earth.
	And if we don't reject Israel and dismantle the Zionist regimes that are currently running Israel, which, by the way, many Israelis agree with us that they want to remove Netanyahu from power, and many Jews agree with me.
	Many Jews around the world actually strongly disagree with what Israel's doing right now.
	We have to stop the insane lunatic, Zionist mass murderers and genocidal maniacs like Netanyahu.
	Otherwise, we won't survive as a species.
	We literally won't make it on this planet if we don't change course.
	So enjoy this song.
	Music
	She walked along a dusty road shuffling away The bombs fell in the distance echoing across the bay He pulled a broken child out of rubble with a prayer His spirits crushed the pain too much for any man to bear If
	hatred is a weapon, then love keeps us alive.
	And kindness feels like heaven, compassion makes us thrive.
	If we can love each other, we survive together We can give one another a future that's better If we care for the other, let's make something better Than the world we left behind We're running out of time, of time We're running out of time We're running out of time
	They fought the western corridor until their cause was lost.
	Defenses held until they fell at a catastrophic cost.
	She holds a newborn baby in her arm till daylight breaks She feeds another precious soul with everything it takes If we can love each
	other, we survive together We can give one another a future that's better If we care for the other, let's make something better Than the world we left behind We're running out of time of time We're running out of time
	When we recognize ourselves in one another When we make that soul connection the blind can see When we feel our love reflected And hatred is rejected We'll generate a new reality If we can't love
	each other, we survive together
	We can give one another a future that's better if we care for the other Let's make something better than the world we left behind All
	right, in other news, gold has been declared the world reserve currency by none other than the author of The Black Swan, Nassim Tlaib.
	He says that gold has already become the de facto world reserve currency and that the Trump administration's tariff and immigration policies are, quote, like trying to wreck the boat voluntarily.
	Wreck the boat, sink the ship, I think.
	Nassim Talib says, let's see, what has happened is that people have started to be fooled by randomness.
	They don't understand the difference between noise and signal.
	And they often mistake noise for signal.
	Things have gotten worse, he says.
	The understanding of tail events has gotten worse.
	The pricing of tail events, this is referring to, like, the concept of the long tail.
	That one would think would be more rational has gotten worse.
	People use bad models more and more.
	Anyway, he just goes through some of the perceptions.
	He says markets are not driven by long-term economic stuff.
	It's driven by allocations.
	People think that the markets reflect the impact of the tariffs, but no.
	Markets are driven by certain allocation parameters, and people...
	Anyway, he goes on and he basically says that Trump is making a mess of things with immigration policy and with tariffs.
	And sure enough, Trump has just flip-flopped on a key part of immigration policy.
	He's now reversed his previous reversal that said that ICE agents should not deport Illegals who work for the hotel industry, the meatpacking industry, or agriculture.
	He's now reversed that, and he says they should start arresting them again or deporting them again.
	So I've got another special report for you here called Trump flip-flops on immigration, and it makes it impossible for many businesses to function at all.
	So let's go to that report next.
	All right, folks.
	It looks like Trump has reversed his reversal of his policy.
	Regarding illegal workers for three industries, what was it?
	Hotels, agriculture, and meatpacking.
	And a few days ago, he had said that ICE should stop making arrests of illegals who were involved in these three industries.
	And it was just something that Trump said.
	It wasn't an official policy, but it was like a memo that went out, and then ICE halted the arrests of workers for those industries.
	And then, of course, Everybody, I mean, this whole issue blew up and everybody started asking, well, wait a second.
	I thought the plan was to deport illegals because they're being counted in the census and they're distorting the House of Representatives, which is based on the census, and they're distorting the Electoral College, etc.
	and they're here illegally.
	And I respect the fact that They're working jobs and actually hard jobs that most Americans are not willing to work.
	And that is notable.
	And that's why I said that what's actually needed is a work visa program.
	So if there are industries like hotels or meatpacking or agriculture or whatever, if these industries cannot find American workers, and believe me, they can't, then You know, we've got to have somebody in here to do the work, obviously, but they have to be legally in the country, and the way to do that is work visa programs.
	It's very common all over the world.
	If you go to, you know, Taiwan, for example, work visa programs.
	If you go to China, work visa programs.
	Japan, work visa programs.
	Like, all over the world, work visa programs that let workers come in and do work.
	Sometimes it's seasonal, sometimes it's year round, but those people do They do not get to vote.
	They do pay taxes when they're on a work visa program because their earnings are reported, just like any other earnings.
	And that's the right way to handle this.
	But what has happened so far is one day Trump just said, okay, we're no longer going to deport these people.
	And then the recent news, what just happened, is he reversed that reversal and he said, I take it back.
	Now, we are going to deport those people from hotels, the hotel industry, agriculture, meatpacking.
	And imagine what it's like being a business owner in those industries.
	If you're an agricultural business owner, you run a, let's say, a strawberry growing and picking operation, okay?
	And you've been in California hiring illegals.
	For 25 years, seasonally, to come in and pick your strawberries.
	Okay.
	How are you supposed to anticipate anything?
	How are you supposed to have a clue about the future of where all of this is going if Trump just changes his mind every few days and just throws out and say, oh, we're going to deport them now, and then next week, no, no, we're not.
	And then the following week, oh, we're going to add three more industries that are exempt.
	Now it's going to be...
	Drywall workers, you know, roofers.
	I mean, how on earth, and I say this as a business owner, how does any business in America plan for the future when you've got a president like this that's just throwing out apparent policy changes every day that just seem to be as random as rolling the dice?
	There's no consistency in it.
	How do business leaders plan?
	How does anybody make an investment decision about investing in a company that's involved in any of these industries when you have no reliability about the future because you don't know whether you're going to be able to get labor or how to get labor?
	I mean, that's the big question is how do you get labor?
	Because Trump hasn't announced anything like, Okay, the hotel industry is exempt, and then what you're going to do is you're going to go through the Department of Labor, and then you're going to have this special exemption status, and then you need to go to this website and fill out this form.
	There's none of that.
	It's just by the seat of his pants.
	And this is the problem of Trump's style.
	And he did this with the tariffs also, which just caused havoc across the world.
	He did it with the tariffs.
	He was like, okay, April 2nd, Liberation Day, we're going to have massive tariffs on all these countries.
	On China, it was like 150% tariffs.
	And then, a couple weeks later, he was like, nah, we're going to back off the tariffs.
	Because we're talking to China now.
	And so, we'll just go down to 10% for China, but 50% for Europe.
	These numbers were just out of the blue, pulled out of somebody's ass.
	Probably Navarro's ass, come to think of it.
	You must have a large rectum to have all these tariffs shoved up in there so effectively.
	It must have taken some work to pry them out, but they got them out, and then they've been pushing just these nonsense numbers, making up tariff numbers that aren't even real.
	They were claiming that all these other countries were charging these tariff rates, and they weren't.
	Trump and Navarro had done is they calculated trade imbalances, and then they called them tariffs by calculating some ratio that was pulled out of somebody else's ass.
	So these are two very clear examples of what I'm talking about here, where the entire business community, you know, the Chamber of Commerce, corporations, etc., how does anybody plan to get anything done in this country?
	I mean, Even auto manufacturers, Ford had to shut down its production lines recently because it's missing neodymium magnets from China because of Trump's tariffs.
	So Ford is shutting down, just like I said they would.
	I predicted that over a month ago.
	I said this is coming.
	And it's here.
	And so Trump's just back and forth or just off the cuff spouting new policy demands.
	On tariffs or labor, two really important things that are involved in domestic manufacturing and trade and production and getting products to people.
	How does any business function in this environment?
	The future is entirely unpredictable.
	And on any given day, if you're in, let's say, agriculture, you don't know whether your hiring practices are legal or illegal.
	On any given day.
	In fact, they were legal two days ago.
	Now they're illegal.
	And then maybe three days later, they're going to be legal again because there's going to be pushback from some powerful person who owns a bunch of farms or something.
	You know, this approach to economic policy reminds me of a little Hispanic child at a birthday party with a blindfold and a baseball bat striking a piñata over and over again, hoping that candy falls out.
	Like, that seems to be Trump's approach to economics, policy, diplomacy, whatever.
	Just blindly striking out and hoping something sticks.
	This is not a credible way to function as a country, as an economy, as a presidency.
	You have to have some level of consistency.
	You can't just keep changing the rules every day.
	Even if the rules are bad, if they're consistent, at least people know what to expect.
	But what Trump does is he takes rules or throws new ones out there, and then one day they're bad, and the next day they're not as bad, and then a few days later they're bad again, or they're good, and then they're bad, and then they're gooder, and then they're badder, and then they're gooder, gooder, and it's like, what the hell, man?
	How do we function?
	So, I don't know what to say.
	It's like, Being strapped to a roller coaster and forced to go on a crazy ride with upside-down loops and everything, and you're just holding on for dear life.
	Let's hope for some stability.
	Let's pray for Trump to find some wisdom in all of this, because his current method does not work, and most of the U.S. economy has been thrust into widespread disarray.
	Because of this kind of piñata approach to economics.
	I'm going to call it piñata economics.
	How about that?
	Instead of voodoo economics, it's piñata economics.
	Beating the system over and over in the hopes that candy will fall out.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Thanks for listening.
	Mike Adams here.
	Take care.
	Okay, the last thing I wanted to cover here today before I wrap up today's broadcast, and I don't think I'm going to go with an interview today.
	Just because it's already been quite lengthy with all the special reports.
	But it's clear to me that Trump has already made the decision to get us into World War III.
	It's clear to me that Russia is going to get involved at some point.
	Israel is going to roll out larger and larger weapons.
	Probably will take it nuclear.
	It's clear to me that Iran is not going to surrender to the West.
	And it's clear that Trump is not going to listen to his own base.
	That he's going to do what Netanyahu wants him to do.
	Not what MAGA demands, or not even what Trump ran on.
	He ran on peace and getting us out of wars, but what he's actually pushing is fighting Israel's wars.
	So, as a result of that, we can safely assume that the stealth bombers will be dropping bombs any day now.
	This thing is going to escalate.
	It's going to get out of hand.
	What will be the impacts of that?
	And although I briefly touched on this a couple days ago, it's worth revisiting and mentioning, That the supply chain that we come to depend on here will be heavily disrupted.
	And certain products that are related to wartime demands, such as preparedness products or survival type of products, etc., they are going to be in extremely high demand.
	You're not going to be able to find any very quickly.
	And that will include iodine if this thing goes nuclear.
	It will include storable food.
	It's going to include emergency comms.
	It's going to include ammunition.
	Gold and silver are going to be in record demand.
	Because people will realize, you know, holy cow, this whole thing's going off the rails.
	You'll probably have a hard time purchasing diesel fuel tanks.
	Because so many people will realize we'd better store some fuel.
	Because we don't know when we're going to get any more.
	Because the Strait of Hormuz has been mined.
	There was mines floating around in the water and nobody can pass through the Strait, right?
	So, things are about to get very, very dicey.
	And I want you to be prepared.
	And I have...
	We've put together some affiliate partnerships with...
	If you go to healthrangerstore.com slash Uberleben, you'll see their really high-end fire-starting kits and titanium stove and a cook pot and some other things.
	These are some really low-tech, off-grid, but high-quality items.
	We've partnered with them, and I've actually interviewed the founder of Uberleben, but I'm not going to play that for you today just in the interest of time.
	I'll play that another day instead.
	But you can check out those products.
	And we're also partnering with a provider of really high-end American-made shovels that are called the Crazy Beaver.
	Crazy Beaver gardening tools.
	Yeah, I...
	Maybe I'll do that one.
	But just go to healthrangerstore.com and search for the word beaver, and you'll see the crazy beaver shovels.
	And this is what I now have on my ranch vehicle, and it's just a super hardy high-end shovel.
	We may include that interview today.
	It just depends on whether my editor has enough time.
	We may or may not.
	If not, we'll run it another day.
	But I wanted you to be aware that we are...
	things like that, because things are about to get super, super dicey.
	As you can tell, Trump's not backing down.
	Israel's all in with World War III.
	Our open borders have allowed enemies of America to cross the border, and they are operating as cells in America, and they're probably just waiting to go ballistic when given the command.
	So we are going to face some pretty serious issues domestically, and I don't think that most people are ready.
	So just make sure you are.
	Obviously, double down, triple down on your supplies, on your preparedness.
	If you need more clean food, shop with us, healthrangersstore.com.
	We've got all the certified organic lab-tested storable food there.
	And thank you in advance for your support.
	We appreciate you very much, and I will do my best to help bring you information that can keep you alive, that can help you be more resilient, that can help you navigate this, and also keep your assets intact.
	As well, because the dollar is in real trouble.
	So thank you for listening.
	And again, if we have time, my editor will put an interview on the end here today.
	If not, we'll run it for you tomorrow.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	All right, welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And as you know, I'm a big fan of really rugged tools that help you get things done.
	I'm a big fan of off-grid living and self-reliance.
	And quality things that you buy them once and you can use them often for a lifetime.
	And I've got with me today a brand new guest, someone that we've never interviewed before, because we discovered that he's made a line of, believe it or not, just humble shovels that are really extraordinary in their ruggedness, their utility, and special design with their teeth.
	We'll talk about that.
	And remember, if you're going to grow food, if you're going to be off-grid with any of your self-reliance plans, You're going to need really high-end tools.
	So you're about to hear about a tool called the Crazy Beaver.
	And here to explain it is the founder and the inventor of the Crazy Beaver line is Jason Harvey, 23 years in law enforcement, and then he began to work on these tools.
	Welcome, Mr. Harvey, to the show today.
	It's great to see you.
	Great.
	Thank you for having me.
	It's great to have you on, and thank you for taking the time here.
	And I see you've got a shovel behind you in the background there.
	I've got your shovel also on my table here.
	Because we put it to use.
	Tell us about the Crazy Beaver and what motivated you to create this tool set.
	Okay.
	Yeah, so about 12 years ago, 13 years ago, I was with the Albuquerque Police Department.
	At the time I was with the department, I was in their open space division.
	Their open space division patrolled the mountains, the rivers, in the desert west of Albuquerque.
	While I was in there, one thing that kept coming up was we were doing a lot of vehicle recoveries of stolen vehicles and people getting stuck up in the desert or up in the mountains when it snowed.
	And one thing that I kept needing was a shovel.
	Some time went on and I kept thinking about designs of shovels.
	And on one particular situation, I happened to be driving home and I noticed that people were starting to put racks on the top of their vehicles.
	People had racks, but it isn't like it is now where overlanding took over.
	Overlanding wasn't really a thing 12 years ago.
	And what happened was I saw a vehicle to the left of me while I was in my patrol car, and I noticed that they had a Home Depot shovel on top of their vehicle.
	And it dawned on me that the off-road stores didn't offer any dedicated off-road shovels other than the little e-tool.
	And at that point, I actually invented a different shovel head.
	But if you've ever been in manufacturing or invented a product, you always start out with an idea, and that idea starts to morph.
	And it'll morph due to the cost of manufacturing, the type of materials that you're using, and then ideas will continue to evolve.
	And so what started out as one idea quickly morphed and changed, and it eventually led me to the shovel that we've been now selling for 12 years.
	But I didn't know, at the time, overlanding was going to become a huge thing.
	Okay, so let me interrupt you for a second and just show people what we're talking about here.
	So this is the Crazy Beaver shovel.
	And I know you're going to talk about the construction here, but obviously this stands out as something really different, these spines on the front edge.
	And then the thickness of the steel, the way you have it bound to the handle, which I think the handle itself...
	I'm not sure.
	You'll tell us.
	And then the fact that you've got this pin for the handle, so the handle is easily replaceable.
	So this seems like a tool that is easy to maintain, but it's also incredibly rugged.
	Can you just talk to us about the key features of this tool?
	And by the way, after this show today, this goes on my ranch side-by-side vehicle.
	So that's where it's going.
	Well, that's where it should be.
	You know, you're talking to your customers or the people that follow you.
	As being kind of off the grid, being prepared.
	We have 35 acres.
	I have a Generac.
	When the power goes out around here, it just kicks on.
	And we're east of Denver out in the farm fields.
	So we're all about self-reliance.
	So with regards to that shovelhead, that shovelhead was actually designed for root systems.
	Whenever you use a shovel like a spade and you're digging into the ground and you hit a root, for example, a root of a tree, what will happen is that spade will dart to the left or to the right.
	That's right.
	That shovel was actually designed to, when it would hit a root, the root would go in between those teeth and as you push down, it would sever the root system.
	Great.
	Now, it never really took off in that industry.
	However, around our property, we use it for yuccas and thistles and everything, and it's absolutely incredible.
	It's incredible for that and breaking ice.
	But when I came out with that shovel with those teeth, I was also part of New Mexico Task Force One, which was a FEMA urban search and rescue team.
	As well as state search and rescue and the dive team.
	So I traveled all over the state and then I traveled all over the country with FEMA search and rescue.
	And the guys that first started picking up my shovel was the fire department guys.
	Oh yeah, that makes sense.
	Yeah, and so they started putting on some of the fire trucks and then New Mexico State Police put it on their SWAT vehicles.
	And then it just started to take a life of its own at that point.
	And then we introduced it to the off-road market.
	I tried going the traditional routes of taking it into stores, off-road stores in Albuquerque, and a lot of the people didn't think it would go anywhere, and it was very difficult to get people onto a new product idea that wasn't out there.
	Which is pretty normal for new products, especially with price breaks or prices, I guess the price that people aren't used to.
	Yeah, this is not a Walmart shovel.
	No, and that's what I ran into.
	I can think of two dealers.
	One, the first dealer I went to, we actually bought ATVs for the police department from this dealer.
	And I went and spoke to him and introduced him to the shovel.
	And he says, well, I don't have a need for it because nobody ever asked me for this shovel.
	And I told him, I'm like, you're the first dealer we're actually bringing it to, to go on side-by-sides because we designed it for the off-road industry.
	And that dealer didn't want it.
	And then I went to another dealer.
	He said, it's too expensive.
	No one's going to buy it.
	And I then approached it like, can we co-sign it with you?
	And see what happens.
	Of course, he started selling them like crazy.
	But he couldn't wrap his mind around why it was selling.
	And it was very easy for me to understand why it was selling because it looked cool.
	It was functional.
	And it was powder-coated.
	And it had all the elements of the off-roading industry.
	And eventually it just took off.
	Okay, I want to...
	And, of course, if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash beaver, then you're going to see all the crazy beaver shovels.
	They're available in different colors, different lengths, and they also have different heads here as well.
	Now, I've only used the one here, the sample that I got with the one head, but I'll tell you something, Jason.
	What I was able to do with it just on my ranch, And so, very often, I have to just dig out an area to make a connection to a pipe.
	Or I'm digging out an area to put a post to mount a faucet on.
	And our area is semi-rocky.
	So mixed in with the dirt are these rocks.
	And they can be anywhere from...
	What I found about your shovel, just like you were talking about with the tap roots, this shovel, those teeth on the front, they really get under the rocks and they allow you to pry the rocks up and get those out of the way so you can get a bigger dirt scoop.
	So that's how I use it.
	It was very helpful.
	Yeah, you do have to be careful with the prying.
	We've had people, they'll put the teeth underneath root systems.
	And then they'll put all their leverage on the end of the D-grip.
	Oh, yeah.
	That would bend.
	It could bend.
	Usually what happens is the fiberglass will, I say it talks to you, it'll start to crack.
	You'll start hearing, the fiberglass will start making noises because it's actually flexing.
	Wood, actually, it doesn't give you any indicator it's about to break.
	But fiberglass actually will give you an indicator before something, a catastrophic failure.
	As far as the teeth, it takes a massive amount of force to bend the teeth.
	When I dig into rocks, I tell people just slam it into the rocks.
	Because a lot of times the rocks will just explode or chip apart.
	Yeah, true.
	Very much so.
	In fact, we've sold them to people that are gold mining up in New Zealand.
	And they bought our small, what we call the mini.
	And they told me that they just slam it into the rocks up in the mountains.
	Yeah, it's pretty interesting.
	They just put them in backpacks and hike them up into the mountains of New Zealand.
	Okay, let me ask you this question about what technique, manufacturing technique, what are you using to connect the head to the handle and is this strong enough to withstand?
	I don't know what this is, like a crimped What do you even call this silver piece right here?
	The neck.
	It's called the collar.
	A collar.
	Yeah, and it's actually crimped on.
	We have a custom machine that it's capable up to 240 tons of pressure.
	Oh, my.
	Yeah, so we have a specific amount of pressure and tolerances.
	That we have plugged into the computer that we found works the best because if you do it too tight, it'll actually crack the crimping collar.
	And if you do it too loose, it doesn't collapse it tight enough to where that fiberglass handle will actually spin inside.
	So we have it dialed down to the exact amount that we need.
	Okay, alright, fantastic.
	So the head is powder coated.
	I want to ask you about rust, rust resistance.
	Obviously the powder coating helps with that, but one of the problems I have in Central Texas is because of the humidity, and then you get condensation, and then you get tools rusting.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a steel tool.
	We do fiberglass it, or powder coat it, but when you use them out there, I mean, just the abrasiveness of slamming it up into rocks and stuff, the steel's going to be exposed.
	Shovel companies will tell you, get a bucket of sand with some oil and dip it in that.
	That's what they'll say.
	That's what I do, yeah.
	Yeah, that's, I think, a standard practice for shovels, especially where you're at where there might be a lot of humidity.
	We were from New Mexico and Arizona where there is no humidity, so our shovels didn't have any, they never got any rust, but then you move.
	From those dry locations, then yes, you can get rust on them.
	What kind of different sizes do you have?
	I mean, they're all fiberglass, they're different colors, but they're all fiberglass in terms of the stem.
	And then what kind of different sizes do you have available?
	Okay, so there's our standard one, which is 40 inches.
	And that was the one we came out because when we introduced that one, But for around properties such as yours and ours out here, I use a 46-inch length shovel, and it's, in my opinion, the perfect fit for gardens and working out in the yard because you're not bent over at all.
	The 40 inch works, but I find that I'm bent over more.
	And if you're using it a lot, your back starts to hurt.
	And then we have a, I want to say it's a 33 inch.
	And that's our ATV one.
	And then we have a 29 and a half inch, which is what we call the mini.
	And you can take the D grip off of it and it'll actually fit in a backpack.
	So we have people that will use those for, um, Oh, okay.
	Because I put them in a backpack.
	So you just mentioned the D-grip that can be removed.
	It's got a pin.
	Yes.
	I don't know what you call this pin, but I see these on tractor implements, right?
	But larger.
	Yes.
	It's a self-latching cotter pin, basically.
	Yeah, we call it a quick release pin, and that one has something that's different from the tractor ones.
	That one has a little clip on the end.
	It's called a quick release tab with a pin, with a tab.
	And so that tab allows you to pull it off with gloves, unlike the traditional tractor ones that come around, and they're more difficult to get off.
	Okay, so this is designed to come off for transportation and storage, as well as just to be easily replaceable?
	Well, I'll tell you how this part came about.
	We were on a search and rescue mission up in the Hamas Mountains, and we were looking for an individual that belonged to the Forest Service that was a hotshot.
	He was responding to a lightning strike, and he went missing.
	His name was Token Adams.
	You can look it up online.
	But it was during that...
	And this was a big, this turned into a big national event because we were looking for them for six days.
	Wow.
	And anyway, the idea came to me and we, a bunch of my partners were like, I started thinking that, you know, it would be nice if you could utilize the degrip in the hollow section of the handle to put fire starting or emergency equipment down the handle.
	Oh, yeah.
	And likewise, we were using it on the dive team for when we were diving down, specifically the mud shovels.
	And what it allowed you to do was pull the pin, release the air, and then, or when you come up, you can pull the degrip off and let the water out.
	I see.
	Because what?
	The shovel had too much buoyancy when there's air in it?
	No, it would fill up with water.
	All shovels will fill up with water.
	If you take them under, if you put them in the underwater, but then you can't get the water out.
	I see.
	Okay.
	There was a guy, Justin, who's with a company called Factor 55. He had called me.
	He's up in Idaho, and he's the main rep.
	Now it's part of Warren.
	You've probably heard of Warren Wenches.
	But Justin's their main rep, and he had a shovel on the back of his Jeep, and he had it mounted where the head was up and the degrip was down.
	And what would happen is, over the course of rain and just moisture, the water would seep into the handle, and then wintertime would come along, and then it would actually freeze, fracture the handle, and ruin the shovel.
	But our removable degrip, you can just let the water out.
	But ours, in theory, won't get water in it because we actually super glue the core into that fiberglass handle, which makes ours different from other shovels because most of them have wood or they're hollow.
	Right.
	So, wait a minute.
	Yours has a fiberglass outer layer, but then there's a core inside the fiberglass?
	What's the core made of?
	It's also fiberglass, but it's solid.
	So, when you crimp that, when we put that crimping collar on there, There's a solid core that's about 12 inches long, and it goes up through that section.
	Because that's the weakest part of the shovel handle, is where that crimping collar is.
	Because when you start putting pressure on it, they'll break right behind the head of that shovel.
	And when you put the core in there, it extends that, and so it makes the handle much more stronger.
	So, I mean, that's extraordinary.
	There was another company that makes aluminum shovels that I had purchased shovels from, I don't know, two years ago or something.
	And that was great, but also you've got to watch out for buried power lines and things like that if you have a conductive shovel.
	But what kinds of stories are you hearing from people about using the Crazy Beaver shovels?
	I mean, you come out of search and rescue, but what kinds of feedback do you get from people who are using your tools?
	Well, almost immediately we received feedback from people that normally weren't carrying shovels in their vehicles.
	One in particular I can think of was that a guy was up in the mountains with his family back out in California.
	And he thanked me for the shovel because they had gone up and I can't remember where it was at.
	But they had gone up into the mountains and then a snowstorm came in.
	And he had big tires on his truck, but regardless, the snow was coming down so fast.
	He told me that he had his wife drive in, and because he had the shovel in it, he was trying to clear out the way.
	He said the police bearcat couldn't even get to him.
	It was coming down so fast.
	Wow.
	But we've received quite a few of those types of stories of how – And that was my main thinking from a search and rescue perspective, is if I can get people to carry these tools with them, something that they normally wouldn't have carried, that perhaps we can save lives.
	And that was my whole goal behind it.
	Well, and that's fantastic to hear.
	And also, when it comes to especially those applications, the tool, Sure.
	stores or whatever.
	They're flimsy.
	The neck is hollow.
	They break.
	I got tired of breaking shovels.
	This is insane.
	I just want to buy a good shovel that's going to last me a long time.
	Sure.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	But then you run into price protests.
	But hey, it's one way or another.
	What do they say?
	Buy nice or buy twice, right?
	Yeah.
	Buy now, cry later, or I don't know.
	Yeah, there's all kinds of different things.
	I spend my money on quality tools because I'd rather suffer with the price now or just deal with the price now and know that when it comes down to there may be a time that I'm going to need it and my life may depend on it.
	And then there's other tools that I'll buy that it doesn't really matter.
	This is definitely one of those tools, especially if you're in the backcountry, you don't want to have fail on you.
	Because you may be in that situation.
	And like I said, we receive emails all the time where people are like, thank goodness the other shovel broke and we still had your shovel to dig us all out.
	And most of the guys that are buying our shovels are going, they're not...
	They're way up in the mountains where there's still a lot of snow and ice and people are sliding off cliffs.
	And that's where our main customers, they're out there.
	I see.
	But I would imagine also, for example, in California not too long ago, there were the Palisades fires, right?
	And you have a lot of debris to work through in those kinds of fires.
	And sometimes rescue operations when buildings collapse and things like that.
	Sure.
	I would imagine there's a pretty strong user base in those kinds of applications in the cities, too.
	I would think so.
	Yeah, I would think so.
	I know some of the guys with some fire departments down there, The Park Service ended up buying some of our shovels down south, and they were starting to use them for wildland firefighting.
	We kind of built custom ones for their needs.
	And then we had, along the southern border, the Boar Star units, the Border Patrol Search and Rescue and Trauma Teams, they outfitted all their vehicles with our shovels.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, so there's a lot of emergency organizations that have bought them.
	The pricing sometimes becomes an issue, but a lot of times there's grants for some of the agencies to purchase them.
	I just want to point out that when people are searching for your shovels on our website, that the word crazy is spelled with a K. Yeah.
	So, you know, but just search for Beaver and you'll find all the shovels or just go to healthrangerstore.com slash Beaver and that'll take you right to the page.
	Now, given current events and your history in law enforcement, can I ask you a question outside of the shovel?
	Sure.
	You know, right now, obviously, the situation in L.A. is involving a lot of law enforcement.
	The images that the public is seeing right now is showing that law enforcement is getting pummeled, LAPD and LA County sheriffs, because they seemingly do not have, they haven't been given rules of engagement that allow them to really defend themselves at all.
	And so they're taking a beating right now.
	and a lot of your customers are in Border Patrol or law enforcement, do you get any sense of Yeah.
	I was actually on the front lines for a short period of time at Aurora PD when we had the BLM riots.
	And they actually barricaded one of the police stations and chained the doors and were getting ready to burn it.
	I remember that.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	So I was on, I was at the main headquarters one night and yeah, our hands, law enforcement, they tie your hands and you can't go after anybody.
	What's terrible about this is you watch it and these people are paid.
	Right.
	The majority of the people there are being bussed in, shipped in, and they're being paid.
	Most of them aren't even from those areas.
	And that's what happened, and that's what we saw in Aurora, was they were coming in from Washington, D.C., and they were being shipped and bused in droves.
	And those were the people that were instigating everything.
	And it's unfortunate because some of the local people would show up and they're thinking they're part of the protest.
	And those were the people that were throwing things.
	And I kind of wish that they would just find out who's paying all these actors.
	And you can see it, that they're trying to figure out.
	Some of that's coming out.
	Yes.
	Absolutely.
	In fact, it was very interesting because there were certain things, they're very well organized, and obviously they're training somewhere.
	But when they were at Aurora, there were certain tactics that they were using and the way they were saying it before they would do something.
	Those same tactics were up in Washington, D.C. when everything happened up in Washington, D.C. Those same chants in the same way they were moving was exactly the same as it was in Aurora.
	Well, and it seems like now, I mean, part of their training, as I understand it, is to provoke a police overreaction.
	Because they want a police shooting on video so they can have outcry.
	And perhaps that's one of the reasons why police are given seemingly unreasonable rules of engagement.
	Basically says you can't do anything except just try to corral people around.
	Which is, it's a very dangerous job.
	I appreciate you commenting on that, and I want you to know that I think right now, America, because of the riots or whatever you want to call them, a lot of chaos, a lot of arson, America, as far as I can tell, largely stands with law enforcement.
	And the Guardsmen and even the U.S. Marines contingent that has been deployed there.
	And I think if law enforcement keeps their cool and does their job here, I think this is going to be a good moment for law enforcement across the country.
	What do you think?
	Yeah, I absolutely think so.
	I noticed, I saw a quick little snippet on, what was that?
	Twitter, there was a bunch of people looting out in Los Angeles.
	I believe it was Los Angeles.
	And I saw the police officers chasing them down and getting a hold of them.
	And that's all the law enforcement wants to do.
	They just want to take care of business.
	But their hands have been tied because of politics.
	The police officers I knew, they wanted to go do their job and arrest the agitators.
	But a lot of times...
	I think everything's kind of changing now, and hopefully for the better.
	Yeah, I agree.
	All right, well, thanks for commenting on that.
	So getting back to your inventions, the tools, Crazy Beaver, is there anything else that I failed to ask you that you think is really important for people to know about your product line here?
	Well, people always ask me, how'd you come up with the name Crazy Beaver?
	Yeah, that's a good question.
	I thought that was the name of 1980s female rock band.
	Yeah, right.
	Whatever, you know.
	No, how'd you come up with the name?
	Yeah, so, well, one of my partners, we were out patrolling on a military Humvee out west of Albuquerque, and we were trying to come up for a name for the business, and my buddy asked me, he's like, okay, the first thing that comes to your head, what do you think of?
	What does the shovel look like?
	And I was like, well, it looks like a beaver tail.
	And then he started making jokes about anglers and things like that.
	And to be honest with you, we had all kinds of problems with beavers along the Rio Grande Valley.
	And so that's why I guess the beaver came to my head.
	Anyway, later on, I went to a restaurant.
	I'm like, you know, it's crazy.
	Nobody's invented this.
	And then I started thinking crazy beaver.
	And then, Yes.
	Or you can get the rights for the name for tooling and clothing and decals.
	And sure enough, when I started Googling it all, I could grab the trademarks for all of those parts of it.
	You can't just come up with the name and then not be able to trademark it.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's smart that you did that in advance.
	And the domain name.
	And then also, like, social media channel names and everything.
	So it's also very memorable.
	You know, Crazy Beaver, it's a very memorable name.
	And also, but I think, like, with this head, it could also be called, like, the zombie chopper.
	You know, we just have to.
	It's so crazy.
	I just had one return from Amazon, and the guy said, it looks like something from The Walking Dead.
	I don't think I want it.
	Really?
	Because it looks like that would be a reason to get it.
	I don't understand.
	Okay.
	I just started laughing.
	I'm like, yeah, I can't believe it hasn't been on The Walking Dead.
	It should be on The Walking Dead.
	Yes.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you can see there's one on the last Twister one.
	They've got it on their truck.
	Oh, is that right?
	That's cool.
	Yeah, you can barely see it, but it's there.
	Very cool.
	All right.
	Well, yeah.
	Again, for everybody who wants to check out the product line, again, this shovel will last you.
	And I'm picking it up.
	You can't feel how heavy it is.
	I mean, it's rugged.
	It's durable.
	I mean, the head is heavy.
	Obviously, the fiberglass lightens it up, so it's manageable.
	But the head is heavy-duty.
	You can get them all at healthrangerstore.com slash beaver.
	Different sizes here, different colors, and different heads are also available.
	And this is what I'm going to.
	I've got the one shovel that I've already tried out, but what I'm going to do next is I'm going to get some different sizes and check all of these out.
	And, you know, I've got multiple tasks on my ranch.
	Let's put it that way.
	And, you know, different vehicles for this and that.
	And this will be real handy.
	So, Jason, what about the origin of the shovel?
	You know, there are the new tariffs on Chinese goods, etc.
	How, you know, where do the parts come from?
	Or where is your shovel made?
	Okay, yeah.
	So the steel is actually USA steel.
	So there won't be any tariffs that affect that.
	The pins are also made in the USA.
	The fiberglass is made in the USA.
	And the D-grips are made in the USA.
	So it's 100% USA.
	Even the shovel guards, they're made for us up in Idaho.
	So all of our stuff related to this shovel is made in the USA.
	The mud shovel heads are made overseas, so I'm not sure if that's going to be affected.
	I would assume it would eventually, but the mud shovels represent a very small piece of what we actually do.
	Our main shovel is our main flagship.
	Okay, so about the steel, you said it's a USA steel.
	I was just interviewing our knife partner, and they said that a major steel producer In Syracuse, New York, has been acquired by a foreign company, and they've dropped some of their lines, at least of powdered steel.
	Now, I know this isn't a powdered steel, but has that affected you, the fact that the steel business in the USA is contracting?
	Yeah, not that I'm aware of, not yet, anyway.
	Last I heard, because I called about that probably a month ago, if it was going to affect the steel from the company that builds them for us, and they said, no, it's made in the USA, so the prices should be the same.
	To my knowledge, it hasn't affected, and I have no knowledge of it going to affect it.
	Okay, all right.
	Well, that's good to know, and we do want to support domestic steel and domestic producers of all of these products.
	So, to our audience, this is another great way to buy American, is to buy the Crazy Beaver at healthrangerstore.com slash beaver.
	So, thank you for taking the time to share with us today this whole story.
	Absolutely.
	Thank you for having me.
	All right.
	Well, Jason, just be well and be safe and, you know, tell all your buddies that we support them.
	And thank you for what you do and, you know, God bless America.
	Thank you.
	All right.
	Take care now.
	And thank all of you for watching.
	Hope you enjoyed this.
	We're all about really high-end quality tools that can help you be more self-reliant.
	And especially, think about the global supply chain crisis that we're under right now.
	Trump just did a deal with China, which is a 55% tariff, I believe, on incoming Chinese goods.
	So even those sort of cheaper...
	So if you're going to pay more, you might as well just go for really high quality tools and shovels.
	And this is one of those.
	It's the Crazy Beaver.
	It's at healthrangerstore.com slash beaver.
	And thank you all for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	Take care.
	Thank you for supporting us at healthrangerstore.com.
	And we've got a new batch of turmeric.
	In stock now, after a long search, the supply chains are really becoming more difficult.
	And turmeric, as you know, is often contaminated with lead.
	So, of course, we do mass spec elemental testing for lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, and other elements.
	We found an ultra-clean batch, and we have it available for you now.
	I have it on my desk.
	We've got turmeric root powder.
	Certified organic laboratory tested.
	Identity confirmed.
	All that.
	E. coli tested.
	Microbiology.
	You name it.
	We've got it all for you at healthrangerstore.com.
	We do not have turmeric tincture back in stock.
	We're working on that, but we do have the turmeric root powder.
	And as you know, I, of course, I include turmeric root powder in my own smoothie, which is why it's orange.
	That's why my dental work turns orange, which freaks out the dental hygienist as well.
	But that's another story.
	Okay, so if you want really good, high-quality, ultra-clean turmeric root powder, we've got it now, healthrangerstore.com.
	We also have, yeah, there's the screen showing it to you.
	We also have asazanthin.
	Asazanthin, Hawaiian asazanthin, we have it right now in stock.
	Of course, this is known as the king of carotenoids.
	This is a fat-soluble, super-potent antioxidant.
	And it's got a multitude of uses and benefits and support mechanisms for human health.
	Athletes use it.
	Lots of people use it.
	This is also what turns the flesh of salmon slightly pink.
	That's actually the astaxanthin that they're getting from their dietary sources.
	And it's believed to help support the natural athleticism and the endurance and stamina of salmon.
	That's just one of the many benefits of the king of carotenoids.
	Now, astaxanthin is in a dark bottle because it's sensitive to light.
	But it's very potent.
	You only need either 2 or 4 million.
	We also have a supply of NAC in stock, N-acetylcysteine, which of course helps support the body's normal detoxification process with outstanding liver support and glutathione and so much more.
