	Braddy!
	Bring it all!
	Well, welcome to Friday.
	It's Friday, September 26th, 2025.
	And this is Brighton Broadcast News.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	I've got a really fun interview for you today, kind of taking a break from the intense week that it has been.
	I've got an interview with a dog training expert who also specializes in dealing or helping people deal with uh you know troublesome dogs.
	Um when that came up, I said, Well, often troubled dogs uh are caused by troublesome humans, but not always, but often that's the case.
	Nevertheless, his name is John Miller, and the cool thing is that my dog, Roadie, he joined me on my desk for the entire broadcast.
	Uh however, he thought it was boring and he went to sleep.
	Um as he does when I'm in the studio, he's snoozing.
	But he wakes up instantly, and he did that during the show as well.
	But anyway, you get to see my dog Roadie again a little bit, but more importantly, you get to hear from John Miller, and we talk about a lot of things about how to improve your relationship with your pet, uh, not just dogs, although the emphasis is on dogs, but then also how to effectively train dogs, or or more effectively do so, and how to make sure you don't fall into the trap of being dominated by your dog.
	Are you dominated by your dog?
	We should ask the furries that question, I guess, right?
	But no, I'm serious as a in a real life non-perv kind of way.
	Are you dominated by your dog behaviorally speaking?
	Does your dog make demands of you?
	Well, you need to turn that around because dogs need a leader.
	Dogs are you know pack animals, and they really only respect a leader that shows leadership, which sometimes means a form of behavioral domination yourself over your dog.
	That is, you don't let your dog get away with everything, and you don't let your dog manipulate you or control you.
	So we talk about these issues, but it's also from the point of view of being pro-animal rights, pro-compassion.
	We don't believe in any kind of cruelty to animals, and we don't beat dogs.
	We do not beat dogs.
	We train them to be amazing uh companions, and to do so in a compassionate way that dignifies the life of our precious dogs and cats and and other pets.
	Although I don't think that these uh training tactics will work on lizards.
	I don't think they'll work on lizards.
	So those of you who have your little reptile zoos there with your little red lights and your snakes and your scorpions and your tarantulas and your lizard creatures, this interview is not for you.
	Sorry.
	You'll need to find a different expert for that.
	Like reptile man or whatever that is.
	I mean, the closest I get to that is not stomping on a scorpion.
	It's like a couple hours ago I saw a scorpion uh scampering across the concrete floor.
	And I'm like hi, Scorpion, and just I kind of like kicked him out of the way.
	Just like scooting them along with my foot.
	I I don't always stomp on scorpions, you know.
	Scorpions are hunters too, and they're out there hunting for little baby crickets and things like that.
	Hey, if you eat uh cricket protein like the globalists want you to, you share the same diet as scorpions.
	So I don't even know what sort of animal or insect family species do scorpions belong to.
	Any idea?
	I don't even know, but that's what you are if you eat globalist cricket protein bars.
	So don't be lizards, don't be reptiles, don't be scorpions.
	Be human.
	That should be the message of the day.
	Anyway, you're gonna love the interview with John Miller coming up, and it's a nice break after an intense week.
	Okay, uh covering the news today.
	You may have already heard that James Comey, former FBI director under Trump.
	He was indicted with some relatively minor crimes.
	So I'm not overly excited about this because he was indicted for I think lying under oath and maybe obstruction of justice because he lied during his 2020 testimony, you know, to Congress, I think.
	Are you kidding me?
	I mean, is that it?
	Uh uh James Comey committed treason against this country, in in my view.
	I mean, it's very clear to me.
	He he admitted it.
	He admitted it all.
	He admitted setting up uh General Michael Flynn, for example, you know.
	He he I mean, he he confessed to his crimes.
	And I think he was also part of the cover-up of the Hunter Biden laptop.
	He was part of the Russia-Russia-Russia collusion.
	I mean, James Comey worked with the deep state this entire time, and he achieved tremendous damage to this nation, damage to the rule of law, damage to Trump's presidency.
	And James Comey was part of the conspiracy of deep state actors who helped rig the 2020 election and to install Joe Biden into office, Joe Biden, the fake president, Mr. Otto Penn, who was not elected by the American people.
	And for us to see now that the only thing that's going to happen is James Comey is going to get indicted for a couple of process crimes.
	Are you kidding me?
	And it, you know, it's insane also to see a lot of people in alternative media, you know, celebrating this.
	Oh my god, this is it.
	It's gonna bring down the whole deep state, you know, it's gonna be a chain reaction, and then Hillary Clinton's going down, you know, and John Brennan's going down.
	Not from a couple of minor violations that James Comey has been charged with.
	I mean, what this is the he's he hasn't been charged with any major crimes.
	So to me, this looks like more smoke and mirrors.
	This is a way to distract the Trump base, you know, throw them some fresh meat, like, look, we indicted Comey.
	The indictments have begun.
	Not really.
	I mean, you indicted him for nothing, I mean, hardly anything.
	Uh you didn't indict him for the major crimes.
	You didn't indict Brennan.
	You haven't indicted the Clintons.
	You didn't indict Joe Biden.
	I mean, what about the crimes of Barack Obama?
	And, you know, what about Eric Holder?
	I mean, it's a long, long list of treasonous criminals who took part in the uh engineered destruction of America, the violation of the rule rule of law.
	I mean, what about Alejandro Majorcas?
	Yeah.
	I mean, that guy ran the massive invasion campaign against America to invade our country with over 10 million illegal aliens.
	If anybody should be in indicted and charged with treason, it's Mallorcas.
	But so far, not a peep.
	Nobody's even talking about that.
	So while the real criminals are getting away, they're gonna indict James Comey on some minor thing.
	And uh trust me, James Comey is gonna get off with a fine, and that's it.
	I mean, this he's not gonna face any jail time.
	This whole thing is theater, just theater for the Trump base to try to make you think something useful is happening, and it isn't.
	Uh meanwhile, Trump is taking us to war.
	And as you may know, uh Pete Heggseth, the secretary of war, because that's what the title has been changed to.
	Uh he has called together a giant secret meeting of all the war generals to come together from all around the world, you know, all active duty, U.S. military personnel from everywhere, to come to a secret meeting in order to, well, I I think to launch World War III.
	And that's what's coming next.
	And that's why uh, did you know that silver hit 45 dollars?
	Yeah, that's why medals are skyrocketing.
	Well, one of the reasons why.
	But many people in the know, they have full knowledge of what's coming.
	And it's gonna be ugly.
	It's gonna be years of chaos and desperation, massive loss of life, economic destruction.
	The the whole world is going to be thrust into relative poverty compared to what it currently experiences, because we're about to lose many of the efficiencies of international supply chains, uh specialization, things like that.
	And all of this is About to begin.
	So I've recorded a special report a few hours ago that covers this.
	It's called Secret Meeting of War Generals to launch World War III.
	So let's go to that report and then I'll continue on the other side.
	Okay, this is concerning breaking news.
	On the world warrant, uh Secretary of War now, Pete Heggseth, he has called every uh admiral and higher rank persons, or admirals and generals.
	He's called them all to physically fly back to the United States to have a meeting of all of them all at once, all the you know, all the admirals and above in the world on active duty, in other words, the entire command structure of the U.S. military is going to meet in one room.
	They're going to meet at headquarters, and Pete Heggseth is going to tell them something.
	Now, what do you suppose is so important that every admiral and general from around the world would need to get on a military flight and fly back to the United States to have an in-person meeting?
	In other words, whatever he's about to tell them is so important that he doesn't want to risk it being intercepted, even through encrypted military channels.
	He wants to tell them all in person, basically, this is a skiff operation skiff, SCIF.
	He's going to have them all in a secure room and he's going to tell them something.
	Well, it's not that difficult to know what he's going to tell them.
	I believe he's going to tell them that the United States of America is about to initiate World War III.
	The US military wants an accelerationist of World War III for the very obvious reason that America's strategic enemies, notably Russia, China, and Iran, are getting stronger by the day, while America's allies, such as Israel's and the United Kingdom, and well, a few others, Australia, etc., are getting weaker by the day.
	So again, the East, you could say China, Russia, Iran, we'll just call them the East.
	The East are getting stronger, the West is getting weaker.
	And by what metric am I claiming that?
	Well, it's, I mean, it's obvious, but uh military and industrial output capability, Russia has dwarfed the entire uh output capability of all of NATO, including the United States, when it comes to uh artillery, munitions, drones, uh, you know, hypersonic missiles, obviously, anti-air defense systems, etc.
	And China dwarfs the United States and all of NATO in terms of naval shipyard production.
	Although, you see, China's Navy is not yet dominant.
	The United States has the dominant uh Navy at the moment, that is Blue Water Navy, but China is producing uh aircraft carriers now.
	They're not on par with uh U.S. uh Gerald Ford class aircraft carriers, but they are nonetheless aircraft carriers, and China is in the next decade going to be able to eclipse the United States in terms of naval power.
	So the U.S. is looking at this and realizing that if we don't fight and destroy these enemies now, because of course the U.S. sees everybody in the world as an enemy rather than a possible friendly trading partner.
	That's you know, that's uh peace is incompatible with the U.S. Empire.
	It's just incompatible.
	The only posture that the U.S. has, and it's been this way for a long time, you know, Wolfowitz doctrine, back to the 1990s, is to destroy everybody, coerce everybody, force everybody to use the dollar, bomb them, assassinate them, you know, infiltrate, carry out color revolutions, the whole deal.
	Sanction them, obviously, and then sanction them again and again and again.
	So this has been the U.S. posture.
	That posture is no longer working.
	And that became obvious when India and China told Trump to go pound sand when he said we're gonna have secondary tariffs on you because you're buying energy from Russia.
	Now the U.S. is trying to pressure Western Europe into sanctioning India and China and Russia even more, and to stop buying all energy from Russia, saying to Western Europe, hey, you should buy all your energy from us, America, where you'll pay five times the price, and then we'll get trillions of dollars from you as Western Europe goes broke and its industry collapses.
	Did you hear, by the way, that Bosch, the German maker of all kinds of really high-end products?
	You know, Bosch is a quality maker.
	Bosch is one of the best brands in the world when it comes to appliances and power tools and what have you, because German engineering is good engineering.
	You know, on the occasional days when Germans actually aren't on vacation, they make great products.
	And Bosch is a good example of that.
	Well, Bosch is laying off, I think it's tens of thousands of people now, because the industrial collapse of Germany is accelerating.
	All right, so oh, and then I didn't mention the monetary side of all of this, which is, of course, the rise of the BRICS nations, the rise of non-US dollar settlements in domestic currencies and uh coming up some innovative gold-backed settlement systems that BRICS is working on.
	Okay.
	So the U.S. realizes that they are losing their position as the hegemon of the world.
	And if they don't cripple uh China and Russia and Iran, and probably they're gonna add Turkey to that list soon, I would imagine.
	But if they don't cripple these countries, then the U.S. is going to be eclipsed by these other nations.
	So that's why the U.S. wants to start World War III.
	And this is also why Trump wanted to get the U.S. out of Ukraine, which has not been successful, but the idea was to then redirect U.S. military efforts into attacking Iran.
	Not China next, but Iran next.
	And that's because of the pressure from Netanyahu, the war criminal who runs Israel, a genocidal terror state.
	So to appease Israel, here's what's going to happen.
	Trump is going to declare, well, I don't know if he'll declare it, but he's going to wage war against Iran.
	That's what's coming.
	And that's why all the military leaders are being called into a giant meeting, because Hagseth and Trump and whoever else is involved, they know this is going to rapidly, rapidly escalate into a world war.
	So Iran is going to be ground zero for world war.
	And that world war will very quickly not just regional countries like Pakistan, which will come to the aid of Iran almost certainly, and not just annoying, you know, nations like North Korea, which is threatening to nuke Tel Aviv, by the way, currently.
	If Israel attacks the flotilla and kills Greta Thunberg, or Thunberg, I think is how you say her name.
	So that's North Korea threatening to nuke Tel Aviv.
	You're going to see Russia involved very quickly once this war, this next wave of attacks on Iran takes place.
	And why is that?
	Well, not only are Russia and Iran allies and significant trading partners, but of course, Russian anti-air technology is widely deployed across Iran.
	And it's no question there's been technology transfer from Russia to Iran.
	And that has enabled Iran to move up the ladder of ballistic missile technology.
	And that was demonstrated in the so-called 12-day war a couple of months ago, during which Iran nearly destroyed Israel just with 12 days of launching missiles.
	So Iran actually has uh escalation dominance over Israel in the non-nuclear theater.
	If Israel takes it nuclear, which they almost certainly will, then we start to get into the nuclear powers of Russia and China getting involved and either attacking the United States or Israel with retaliatory nuclear weapons.
	So we are very likely to see this new effort, this new war on Iran, it's going to start with non-nuclear kinetic attacks, bunker buster bombs, stealth bombers, you know, uh Air Force bombers from Israel with refueling with the help of U.S. forces, etc., we're going to see a massive campaign launched by Israel and the United States.
	They will be the aggressive initiators of this next wave.
	And then that's going to trigger the what are called the uh, I guess it's the anti-slapback provisions of the IAEA agreement that Iran just signed, which says that if Iran is attacked and bombed again, then it is no longer beholden to the requirements of the IAEA nuclear weapons inspectors.
	And at that point, Iran is almost certain to roll out its own nuclear weapons.
	And we know that Iran has a capability of launching those and delivering those to Israel, and we know they have the technical know-how, the expertise to build and assemble uh and mount nuclear warheads.
	So this thing's going to go nuclear very quickly.
	Now, at that point, the United States might get involved and try to pull a Hiroshima on Iran by bombing a major city in Iran with a nuclear weapon and killing millions of innocent people, and then saying that's a warning shot, we'll do it again if you don't surrender.
	Well, it's not going to work the same as it did in World War II.
	And by the way, the the U.S. government has no hesitation of carrying out massive war crimes and even genocide against civilians, because of course they support that happening right now in Gaza.
	So if you think the U.S. won't drop a nuke on Iran, uh, you're wrong.
	They absolutely will.
	And that's probably what they're discussing at the upcoming meeting.
	Well, in this case, the world is not just going to sit back and be cowed into surrendering to the whims of the West.
	Not at all.
	In this case, if America nukes Iran, then Russia will probably, this is my own analysis, obviously I don't have any inside information, but in my analysis, Russia will detonate the Poseidon nuclear weapons that are already off the coast, the East Coast and West Coast of the United States, and also off the coast of Britain.
	And that will unleash a massive radioactive tidal wave, and it will inundate the coastline with you know hundred-foot waves or taller, because those are hundred megaton warheads, okay?
	And that will absolutely destroy the fishing industry and the ocean ecosystem of the Atlantic Ocean, and the results will be not just ecologically catastrophic, but also geopolitically and economically catastrophic.
	And that would be probably the end of the United States of America as we know it, because Washington, D.C. would be gone.
	And so would the naval base in Virginia, and there would be, you know, massive economic implications because of the impact on New York City.
	And there would be massive economic implications because of the uh, well, what happens to New York City and other areas, and it would impact Florida as well.
	So see, in World War II, the the U.S. had a monopoly on the use of atomic weapons for a period of time.
	It was many years later before the Soviets were able to replicate that, and China, and then later on, you know, countries like North Korea and Pakistan, etc.
	And a lot of that was technology transfer anyway.
	But the truth is that today there are a great number of countries that have nuclear weapons, and the U.S. cannot simply carry out acts of mass genocide and ecological destruction without a response.
	Even though the leaders of the United States, they think they can.
	So they are both arrogant and incompetent.
	They are ignorant of history, and they are incapable of properly understanding the consequences of their own actions.
	Pete Heggseth, for example, is completely unqualified to be the Secretary of Defense now renamed the Secretary of War.
	And they they renamed it, you know, the Department of War because they're going to war.
	This is not a coincidence.
	They're going to war.
	And as a result, they're going to drag the entire world into World War III.
	And this serves many of the interests of Western nations, their leaders, to have domestic martial law, wartime rule, censorship, control over the economy, the invocation of the NDAA, you know, wartime, basically dictatorial controls and martial law.
	And that's exactly what Trump wants.
	And that's exactly what Starmer wants in the UK.
	They want absolute control over their own countries, and war is that's the mechanism that gives them that legal justification.
	And especially if it goes nuclear, then they can declare anything they want.
	They can say we're taking your bank accounts, and you're like, why?
	Because it's for the war.
	Oh, okay.
	They can say to every farmer, oh, we're stealing all your fuel and all your seeds.
	No, why?
	Uh, because the war.
	See?
	So the war becomes the excuse for everything that these tyrants want to accomplish.
	And that's why they all need war.
	That's why Trump did a 180 recently and said that Ukraine can defeat Russia now, all of a sudden.
	Which everybody knows is nonsense.
	But this is like a geopolitical Hail Mary from the U.S. Empire.
	This is a Hail Mary.
	This is the realization that we are so far behind China and Russia and other countries in so many areas.
	You know, the the U.S. no longer has technological dominance in almost anything other than arguably AI technology and heavy lift rocket launches.
	Aside from that, China dominates almost every single area of technology, from robotics to uh rare earth minerals extraction, uh, materials science, you know, you name it.
	China dominates.
	Uh pharmaceutical manufacturing, phytoconstituent extraction from herbs, all these things.
	China dominates by far.
	The U.S. realizes it's way behind, and this is its last ditch Hail Mary attempt to try to hobble the world, to try to kneecap the other nations, and make the U.S. come out on top.
	But in the process of doing that, they're going to kill millions of people, or billions, actually.
	I accidentally said millions, but it's billions.
	They're going to kill billions of people, which just happens to also promote the anti-human extermination agenda of the globalists, you see.
	And it's the globalists that are influencing all these regimes, such as uh Israel and the United States and the UK, Germany, etc.
	Oh, France, too.
	Don't forget France.
	It's like globalist headquarters right there.
	And the EU via Brussels and all those insane lunatic globalists like von der Leyen, etc.
	So this is a global depopulation plan disguised as a war.
	And it's also a financial reset.
	It's also a massive asset grab at the same time.
	Basically, they're going to ethnically cleanse the earth.
	This is genocide against the human race.
	They're going to kill billions of people and then try to reset the world into a whole new timeline with probably a whole new faked history.
	They'll start teaching the new faked history so that everything that you and I have lived through will be forgotten and erased.
	And they'll tell the new people, you know, the new generations, they'll give them some BS made-up story about how Earth was attacked by aliens or something, and then Earth defended itself, and now we have to rebuild.
	We're living in the aftermath of the alien assault.
	You know, some just some completely made-up story.
	Because that's what we have been fed also.
	Our history is also fake.
	We've been led by the nose through a completely fake Truman show reality that also is not backed by, you know, facts.
	So by the time this thing runs its course, which will take many, many years, could be five to ten years of global war, uh probably the majority of the human population will be dead.
	There'll be mass famine, chaos, lawlessness, uh, collapse of the power grid, etc.
	But they will keep the power grid going where they need it for their AI data centers because of course the robots will replace the humans in the aftermath of this mass extermination uh campaign.
	So war is the plan, and it's actually a plan of mass human extermination and a giant asset grab because they don't need humans anymore.
	They are ready to replace most of the world's population with automated systems.
	They just need to get rid of the humans in the meantime.
	And what they found out with Israel's genocide is that a whole lot of Christians will go along with it because they think it's end times and they think they're going to be lifted up with the rapture, even though the rapture is not even mentioned in the Bible at all.
	But they they think that, so uh well, hope they're prepared.
	Um in order to get prepared, of course, you know, this is I believe it's survivable.
	They're not going to kill everybody, but it's going to be difficult.
	So, of course, do all the things that you know how to do backup food supplies, backup communications, you know, backup power systems.
	Check out the satellite phone store, our sponsor, SAT123.com, and also check out our store, HealthRangerstore.com for food supplies that are laboratory tested, certified organic, long-term storable.
	I mean, really long-term storable.
	Specifically, check out the freeze-dried fruits in number 10 cans.
	Those are steel cans for very long-term storage, and you can find those at HealthRangerStore.com.
	Uh I'm Mike Adams, pray for humanity.
	Thank you for listening.
	Take care.
	Okay, continuing.
	I've got a really great interview for you uh lined up, I think for Monday, with the four doctors who are known as uh AGES.
	And that's Dr. Brian Artis, uh, Dr. Ed Group, Dr. Henry Ely, Dr. Janet Schmidt.
	And we have a new docuseries featuring those four doctors.
	It's called Healing for the Ages, make your home healthy again.
	And that is going to start streaming October 4th for free at BrightYou.com.
	So you can register for that right now.
	Just go to bright you.com.
	That's the word bright, and then the letter U. And you can enter your name and email and you can register to watch it for free.
	One episode streams each day beginning October 4th, or you could optionally purchase the whole thing at a very reasonable price, and you can download the whole thing and watch it anytime you want.
	What's really great about this is that Dr. Ely talks about the toxicity of LED lights and the fluorescent lights, and we we go into the light spectra discussions and why it's critical to swap out your lights for incandescent lights, which have a more natural yellow, orange, and red wavelengths, which are the longer wavelengths compared to the more toxic blue light that is emitted uh predominantly by LED lights.
	And then there's the flicker rate of fluorescence and things like that.
	So we talk about detoxing the light, your indoor light.
	And then also with the other guests, we talk about your bathroom and all the personal care products, we talk about the kitchen and how you need to remake your kitchen, at least, you know, the ingredients and the cooking pans and all kinds of things in the kitchen to help make your home a more healing and sacred place.
	And Dr. Ed Group talks about the bedroom, which is where you may spend a third of your life sleeping or otherwise trying to sleep, or or whatever intimate time.
	Uh in your bedroom, there are so many things that are important to do to make sure that during that roughly one-third of your life that you've got clean air, you've got clean energy, you don't have electropollution, all kinds of things like that.
	So all of that is available again at bright you.com and it begins streaming next week.
	And then I've got a price update for you, the holistic weight and stress management course, which is put together by Sean Cohen and Dr. Habib, who I interviewed about this, uh, they have a very significant uh price adjustment,
	and you can you can uh partially thank me for this, because when I went and checked the site uh yesterday, I think it was, I saw that the course price was was uh I thought very difficult for many people to afford.
	It was almost 400.
	Even though it has tremendous benefits, etc.
	And the information can be really transformative for people's lives, it's these days very few people can afford 400.
	So I talked to the team, and they agreed to dramatically reduce that price to make it more affordable if you want to download that entire course, which we already streamed for free.
	But if you want to download and own that course, it's been cut to 149.
	And I also said uh that I insisted that for those of you who already purchased the course at the higher price, uh we will refund you the difference.
	So just contact us back if you already purchased that course.
	We'll refund you the roughly what would it be 250 difference, okay?
	Because I I want you, I mean, I appreciate the fact that you're helping to support our platform and support our content creators when you do choose to purchase these courses.
	Uh, but I also want to make them really affordable as much as possible.
	And so if I see something that I think is a little bit out of whack, I'm gonna bring it up and I'm gonna talk to my staff and talk to the content creators and try to bring it down significantly so that you know it's more within reach.
	In any case, it's now 149 dollars, which is uh these days that's like not even half a basket of groceries.
	That's that's like two steaks from the grocery store, you know, because of food inflation is so insane.
	Yeah, before long, that's gonna be the price for like a hamburger and fries, you know, at fast food.
	I'll take the hundred dollar burger, you know, because you don't want to eat crickets, you want to eat like actual beef burger.
	That's gonna be a hundred dollars.
	You know, uh anyway, if we stay on this current track of inflation.
	Okay, anyway, you can find that course and all the other courses that you can purchase and download at Brighton University.com, all spelled out.
	And thank you for your support.
	Okay, we now have news that the FBI has acknowledged that it had 275 plain clothes agents in the crowds on January 6th, 2021.
	Uh-huh.
	So, and only now are we finding this out, and it tells you something, something big, which is that of course that was a false flag operation.
	The entire thing was a false flag to blame conservatives and Trump supporters.
	And they were also trying to arrest and imprison uh Alex Jones and Owen Schreuer and Roger Stone, and and they failed to actually you know entrap all of them there, although they went after them in other ways.
	But the whole thing was a false flag setup and to try to claim that there was an insurrection to try to overthrow the government, and therefore the Democrats would have to declare emergencies and put up fences and basically wage war against conservatives across America, which they did for four years.
	And they targeted nonprofits, they targeted companies like us, they targeted us with censorship, they went after Trump supporters and conservatives and uh nonprofits nationwide and lots of censorship all throughout big tech.
	And you heard uh yesterday that YouTube announced that they they're sorry that they followed the White House directives to deplatform and censor all the channels that the Joe Biden fake White House uh asked them to censor.
	And so people tried to relaunch channels on YouTube like Alex Jones did, and got instantly banned again.
	And then YouTube came out in the last uh 12 hours or so and said, Oh, well, when we said that content creators can come back onto the platform if you were previously banned, what we meant was that we're only allowing that for s uh as a pilot program for certain selected content creators.
	So basically YouTube lied again, because YouTube uh you know, YouTube and Google are incredibly evil.
	They committed treason against this country, they are complicit in the mass death of uh literally millions of people around the world because of their censorship regarding the dangers of COVID vaccines.
	Their censorship about the ineffective nature of N95 masks and so on.
	And of course, the former CEO of YouTube, Susan Wajicki, she took the vaccines and then she died.
	So she's dead, and I believe that's partially because of her own censorship.
	You know, talk about karma, huh?
	Comes back around.
	So I was trying to save people's lives with good, solid good faith information that perhaps could have contributed to saving even her life, but she made sure that I was censored.
	Now she's dead, and I'm not.
	And I'm here still speaking and telling the truth, and she's six feet under.
	Okay.
	So that's kind of how things go sometimes, you know.
	And anyway, I don't wish death upon anybody, but I also I think we should completely dismantle Google and YouTube.
	And I think the Trump administration should go in there and just seize all their servers and uh completely shut them down unless they agree to respect all constitutionally respected speech from all points of view, including medical speech, including speech that's critical of vaccines, or speech that's critical of Israel, or or Trump or a Democrat or what have you.
	If it's constitutionally protected speech, Google and YouTube should not censor it.
	And I've said this before.
	I think that the Trump administration should go to every big tech platform and say, this is your one-time warning.
	You either immediately stop all the censorship and all the shadow banning, you allow all speech that is constitutionally protected, or we are going to seize your company and dismantle it, you know, server by server.
	And we're gonna seize all your profits, all your funds, we're gonna take you down because you do not have the right to exist and to function in this economy if you are going to violate the constitutional rights of the American people.
	I mean, it really should be that simple.
	But of course, that's not gonna happen.
	Instead, Trump invited them all to uh a VIP dinner at the White House, during which they all, you know, basically kiss the ring, and uh Trump just said, look, all you gotta do, you know, you you pledge a couple hundred billion dollars of investment in data centers, and then we'll let you off the hook for all the years of censorship and all the lives that you destroyed with your deplatforming.
	And so they got away with it.
	So, of course, YouTube is not acting in good faith right now.
	YouTube uh offers nothing in the way of allowing people back on the platform who were censored for telling the truth.
	Even after YouTube admits that they maliciously censored people because the Democrats demanded they do that.
	I mean, it's an admission of guilt, and then still staying guilty.
	Just unbelievable what these tech giants get away with.
	And that's why it's critical to move off of YouTube and Google and Facebook and Meta and all that garbage, and use alternative platforms, like the platforms that we have built and launched and support, like Brighton.com, free speech videos, or Brighton.
	Uh, free speech social media, or Brighttown.ai, the only AI engine in the world that's both free and also trained on nutrition, alternative medicine, honest money, false flags throughout history, uh, government biological experiments on the American people.
	It it knows it all.
	You can ask it anything.
	It knows about Operation Paperclip, it knows about MK Ultra, it knows everything.
	I mean, well, everything about alternative media and uh alternative medicine, holistic medicine, etc.
	Real history.
	So you can find that at Brighton.ai.
	And it blows away ChatGPT, it blows away Grok, it blows away Microsoft technology, uh, etc.
	It's the best AI engine in the world by far, and it's only going to get even better.
	Uh speaking of tech, by the way, Microsoft just announced that they have now blocked Israel from using their technology.
	Uh I think it was part of their platform technology.
	And they're blocking Israel now, blockading Israel because uh Israel is committing genocide, obviously.
	And there was so much pressure on Microsoft that they finally said it's time to stop licensing technology to a country that's carrying out genocide.
	Okay.
	So Microsoft was reluctant to do that, but they finally agreed to do it.
	And also Israel is being blockaded by many other countries.
	And it looks like even the international soccer organization, we call it soccer, they call it football.
	It looks like the football groups are going to completely ban Israeli teams from participating in uh in football or or you know soccer, as we call it.
	Now for the record, I I want to say that I I disagree with banning athletes.
	Uh and in fact, when Russian athletes were also banned from tennis matches, for example, in Europe.
	Uh I said, that's crazy.
	You know, the Russian athletes have nothing to do with Russia's military operation and the war with Ukraine, et cetera.
	You know, a Russian tennis player.
	I mean, why are you making a Russian tennis player pay the price for the conflict?
	Well, I I think the same thing about Israeli soccer players.
	I mean, why are you gonna punish Israeli soccer players for the actions of their Zionist genocidal government, which is completely insane?
	And and frankly, a lot of Israelis also think that Netanyahu is a war criminal as well.
	So I don't like punishing uh athletes.
	I don't like punishing artists.
	Uh there were Russian artists that were banned also from like art displays and museums and things.
	I mean, heck, they're banning Russian literature for God's sake.
	Russian music, you know.
	A lot of great composers, obviously, like Tchaikovsky, right?
	So banning the the arts of a nation because you don't like that nation's politics, that seems like a really bad idea to me.
	And I do not support that.
	So I, you know, look, I say, l let the dudes play soccer, for God's sake, you know.
	Seriously.
	Okay, I've got something else to show you here, a short video.
	Well, Representative Anna Paulina Luna went on Fox News and she explained that there's a video that shows that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the assassin of JFK.
	Because this video shows him standing near JFK's limo at the moment of the assassination.
	And that this video is in the possession of NBC.
	Right.
	And that NBC has been sitting on this for decades, apparently, and refusing to release it.
	But the video proves that we've all been lied to about the lone gunman theory of the JFK assassination this entire time.
	Now, of course, you and I, we already know we've been lied to.
	I mean, we're being lied to about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, right?
	Which I want to comment on the similarities here.
	But first, let me play this video for you.
	I would like to actually tell the American people it was made uh aware to me this evening that NBC actually has a video that's never been seen before.
	We're actually going to be sending a letter requesting that from NBC because it allegedly shows Oswald um near the vehicle when the assassination took place, which means that he couldn't have been the shooter.
	So again, we're tracking down all this information, but look, there's even a CIA document that came out that Mr. Morley pointed out that actually said that the CIA never bought the lone gunman theory.
	And so I think the American people had an inclination as to what we are saying, but we never had the hard evidence until now.
	And so it's important to note that in a free and fair society, how could you operate or have an agency operating in the shadows?
	And so kudos to President Trump, also Director Radcliffe and Tulsi Gabbard for pushing for this transparency.
	It is going to be generational changing that they've done this, and we hope to bring forward legislation too to ensure that this never happens again for future generations to come.
	You're saying NBC has been keeping this tape of Oswald under wraps.
	Correct.
	In fact, uh Director Stone actually told us that he was showed this tape, uh, that it was a secondary copy, and that he said that this could blow open the entire GFK um investigation.
	What I will also tell you though, Jesse, is he said that NBC has been very, very much so guarding this tape.
	And so I believe that that tape belongs to the American people.
	We are going to be sending a letter asking for that tape, and I would encourage everyone to ask NBC to release that tape to the public.
	It's important, not just for our investigations, but to the American people know the truth as to what happened with John F. Kennedy.
	All right.
	Well, I think they will release it.
	Um I believe the president will probably put it on true social pretty soon.
	All right, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Lincoln.
	There you go.
	Thank you so much.
	Have a great weekend.
	So it it really makes you wonder, doesn't it, that how they can be saying, I mean, is this a distraction?
	They're saying, oh, you know, the government lied to you in 1963.
	I mean, of course they did, and the Warren Commission and so on, all the investigations for years after that.
	Of course the government lied to you.
	Same thing with 2001, 9-11.
	The government's been lying about 9-11 this entire time, right?
	The government lied about Oklahoma City, obviously.
	There are numerous examples.
	And today, the FBI is lying to you about Tyler Robinson, saying that he's the loan shooter of Charlie Kirk.
	Absolute nonsense.
	Completely bogus.
	But you see, they're they're trying the same thing that, you know, the same kind of cover-up that JFK's assassination was wrapped around, you know.
	So really nothing has changed.
	I mean, yeah, they're they're exposing the lies of generations ago, but then they're weaving new lies today that are patterned off the same lies from 1963.
	So again, nothing really has changed, and we're being lied to today.
	And the whole Charlie Kirk assassination, you know, this this has really I gotta give credit to a lot of internet sleuths this week, people who have been analyzing the videos frame by frame and the audio, and trying to determine what actually what was the weapon that uh killed Charlie Kirk.
	And as far as I can tell, there are really only two theories now that make sense.
	One is he was shot from behind at close range, something uh maybe a relatively slow projectile, something fired from perhaps one of the cameras behind him.
	And the other is that it was an exploding uh remote microphone pack that was under his shirt, and somehow that thing was rigged to explode and to like fire um a very strong burst uh through his neck.
	And it didn't, it doesn't even have to have a projectile if it's that close.
	It could just be a highly compressed uh and focused explosive burst.
	Uh kind of like um a shaped charge, right?
	Uh it it could be a miniature-shaped charge that he was actually wearing that was given to him by members of his own team who had been infiltrated by an intelligence service that wanted him dead, for example.
	And then, you know, all kinds of questions surrounding the takeover of TP USA, and you know, some people are even digging into the history of his widow, Erica and her father and his ties to Zionism and the weapons industry and all kinds of uh seemingly bizarre things.
	I'm not gonna go into those details.
	That's not my wheelhouse.
	But I'm just pointing out that there are a lot of people, mostly on X, now that uh TikTok has been taken over by uh Zionists, you won't be able to post anything on TikTok that uh contradicts the official narrative.
	But on X, you still can, and and that's where there's a lot of you know, a lot of research, a lot of findings.
	And by the way, there are a lot of people sharing these on Brighton.social and some really good videos on Brighton.com as well, because we don't censor based on viewpoint.
	Uh, you know, viewpoint discrimination, we don't do that.
	And we we don't take money from Investors of any kind, much less Zionist investors.
	We just we don't take people's money because we're not for sale.
	We don't compromise.
	So if you really want to learn the truth about this or you want to dig into it and make up your own mind, uh follow uh the videos and the numerous channels that are on Brighton.com and Brighton.social.
	And then also there are quite a few uh analysis channels on X right now as well, where people are posting some very uh interesting and sometimes convincing videos of alternative explanations of what happened.
	You know, clearly it wasn't a 30 out six rifle round.
	We know that for sure.
	But as far as a convincing explanation that absolutely nails down what happened, I haven't seen that myself yet.
	Although I've seen a lot of um intriguing analysis videos that could be pointing in the right direction, but I think more analysis is needed.
	Oh, and some people are saying that the rifle uh found in the woods uh is actually found it was found on a property that was owned by a group linked to the deep state, I think is what it is.
	And that rifle had no serial number on it, so it can't be traced, etc.
	So even the rifle, you know, is obviously completely staged.
	It was placed there, and you know, everything about this is fabricated.
	The the text message, which was just an FBI spoofing operation.
	You know, the FBI can send a text in your phone number to say anything that they want, and then they can you know arrest you for that text, or they can convict you for that text.
	And they can spoof your number at any time.
	And nobody is uh safe from that.
	So keep that in mind.
	If the FBI wants you to look guilty, they'll fabricate all the evidence they need to make you look guilty.
	That's just the way they operate.
	That's mostly what they do.
	They don't actually solve many real crimes.
	They mostly fabricate fake crimes and run fake terror plots, just like they did during J6, you know, running the false flag operation, hundreds of FBI agents that's now come out.
	They were there actually setting up crimes in order to entrap innocent American peaceful protesters.
	Think about that.
	That's what the FBI does.
	That's why the agency needs to be dismantled.
	They don't do anything useful for innocent Americans.
	They their entire focus is falsifying evidence and running false flags and and uh setting up mock terror plots uh to blame whoever's on their target list, which uh has been conservatives until Trump got into office, and now it's going to be leftists or it's gonna be Muslims or whoever.
	So whenever you see some news coming out, like you know, left-wing furry plot thwarted by the FBI, you have to take that with a grain of salt.
	Because it might be just a plot that the FBI came up with, and then they found some stupid furry person to you know drive the van or whatever, paid them 50 bucks, or maybe that's gone up, have to pay them 100 bucks, you know, inflation in in the payoff um economy.
	So anyway, they just get some furry to drive the van, and then they you know, they arrest the guy with the fake explosives, and then find out his social media posts were all about like furry perves and all his friends were furry perfs and LGBT and transgenders and everything else.
	And they're like, see, we thwarted a left-wing LGBT terror plot, you know.
	Yeah, I don't believe it.
	Now, you know, look, for sure there are left-wing terrorists who want to carry out you know sabotage operations and things like that.
	And we may be seeing some of that already.
	There's some uh fiber optics cables have been cut.
	Um we've had, I think there's a power outage at Grand Central Station in New York City.
	Um we could see some left-wing sabotage operations that are genuine.
	In fact, I am expecting to see some of that.
	Uh, but there's also going to be a number of sort of engineered theatrical events to try to further that narrative.
	So exercise discernment.
	Whenever You hear the news that something big has happened.
	Oh, there's been a shooting, there's been a bombing, there's been, you know, I don't know, the power grids substation has been taken down, etc.
	Put on your thinking caps, you know.
	And don't believe anything from official sources, because you're likely being fed, you know, just a series of lies to try to convince you of something that isn't accurate.
	So just be careful.
	Oh, I I also want to give a shout out.
	Uh, there's there's a user on X named Ryan Matta.
	Uh his channel is Ryan Mata, M-A-T-T-A-MI.
	If you want to follow him, he's he's doing a good job.
	He's asking all the right questions, and he's analyzing video, and he's he's doing a far better job than I could do because I'm I'm so busy working on our AI engines and I'm I'm you know writing code and doing interviews and things like that.
	I I don't have time to dig into all the video and audio like I used to.
	You know, if this is you know 10, 15 years ago, I could do that, but not anymore.
	I've got too many other duties to handle, you know.
	Um, but people like Ryan Matta are doing a great job, so um check out his channel.
	Okay, also one more thing to mention the the flotilla that is crossing the Mediterranean to try to uh break the the blockade that Israel has uh against the the Palestinians there in Gaza.
	Uh that flotilla, I believe there are 50 ships involved in that, and they are saying that they've received credible intelligence that the flotilla is going to be attacked by Israel.
	Well, I think it's Spain has sent a second naval warship to help guard the flotilla.
	And of course, we know that Israel attacked back in what was it, 1967.
	I think uh the USS Liberty and Israel tried to sink that ship and murdered American sailors, and then both Israel and the U.S. government covered that up and tried to bury that from history.
	Um so we know Israel is capable of you know, sinking ships of allies and just murdering sailors in order to get what they want.
	I mean, obviously, you know, Israel cares about nobody else in the world except themselves.
	You know, it's it's one of the characteristics of Zionists have zero compassion, zero empathy for other human beings.
	And so if they attack this flotilla, they're going to be attacking the Navy of Spain.
	Uh Spain is a NATO member.
	And if Israel attacks the naval vessels of a NATO country, then that would invoke Article V, which involves other NATO members, then uh forming conferences to decide how they should respond to that.
	It doesn't compel other NATO members to attack Israel, but it it would certainly be I mean, it would be a significant event that when would earn even more scorn for Israel than the amount that is already that they are already experiencing.
	So uh also, you know, these Spanish naval vessels are are quite capable.
	They're not easy targets, you know.
	They're they're not like fishing boats, okay.
	So if Israel tries to go after those ships or other ships in the flotilla, uh they're gonna have a fight on their hands.
	And Italy may be joining this with ships, possibly.
	I don't know if the UK will or not, but Turkey might even get involved at some point here as well, because of course, you know, they're right there.
	Uh we know that Turkey and other countries are arming up big time for a major, major uh conflict in the region, and it's pretty clear that Israel is making enemies out of everybody, including the Gulf states like Qatar and the UAE and the Saudis and you know, everybody, of course, Lebanon and Egypt as well.
	Egypt is arming up, uh, Iran is arming up.
	I mean, folks, you wonder why gold and silver are skyrocketing?
	Yeah, this is why.
	Because the world's about to be plunged into World War III.
	A dramatic war.
	I mean, this is gonna be the biggest conflict on the planet since World War II.
	And most of the people living today have never experienced war like this, like what we're about to see.
	I haven't either.
	I was born on the tail end of like Vietnam, you know, but I only heard about World War II from my grandparents who did live through it.
	But almost nobody living today has seen war like what we're about to see.
	And it's gonna get it's gonna get ugly.
	And uh yes, by the way, I'm I'm now seeing that Italy has sent a naval ship that it has it has reached the flotilla, so that's on top of the uh ships from Spain.
	Um who knows?
	There might be others.
	I mean, this this could be an entire you know, naval warfare operation against Israel.
	And of course, the United States under Trump continues to just blindly support Israel no matter what it does, no matter who it kills, no matter who it bombs, no matter who it assassinates, and then the U.S. lectures the rest of the world about human rights.
	I mean, what a freaking joke that is.
	You know, the U.S. lectures the world about the rules-based order.
	There are rules, we all have to follow the rules, except not us.
	I mean, you have to follow the rules, but we don't.
	We make the rules.
	We actually the rules-based order means we rule and you follow orders.
	That's what that shit means right there.
	That's the U.S. Okay, sorry about the profanity.
	Okay, one last thing.
	Uh Trump has rolled out a lot of new tariffs, and he just announced in the last day a hundred percent tariff on uh pharmaceuticals, many brand name pharmaceuticals.
	Uh that's going to affect pharmaceuticals from any company that is not in the process of building a pharmaceutical factory in America, which would be most companies that from which we import pharmaceuticals.
	So if you thought prescription drug prices were crazy before, uh, they're gonna get, you know, they're gonna double, roughly.
	And uh doesn't affect me because I don't take any pharmaceuticals other than you know the occasional ivermectin, which is actually based on a soil microbe, so it's not a synthetic pharmaceutical, totally different deal.
	But for the people who depend on pharmaceuticals, which is a horrible way to try to manage your health, by the way, but uh you're gonna pay through the nose for that.
	Also, Trump announced 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets.
	So, yeah, why?
	I don't know.
	Just kitchen cabinets, uh they're bad.
	He's also announced a 50% tariff on bathroom vanities and related products, a 30% tariff on uh upholstered furniture, you know, like couches and such.
	Man, that's gonna hurt Taiwan, too.
	There's a lot of furniture manufacturing in Taiwan.
	Uh and number five, 25% tariff on heavy trucks, and then he's pushing to force uh Federal Reserve interest rates down towards 2%.
	I'm not sure how he thinks that's going to be achieved, especially when you know inflation is like 20% in reality.
	Interest rates should be going up, not down.
	Uh basically by pushing them down, he's creating just another massive bubble that will be catastrophic at some point down the road.
	And he's also destroying the supply chains with all these tariffs.
	So making it more difficult for Americans to live, you know, to find the products that they need, or to find parts for their products, or to build new homes.
	I mean, think about what this is gonna do to home construction, and then uh the furniture tariff, uh, what that's gonna do to anybody that's trying to furnish a new home.
	Uh it's gonna get a lot more expensive.
	Okay, one more last thing here before we go to today's interview.
	Remember how I said that there's gonna be a Jesus efication of Charlie Kirk?
	And that Charlie Kirk's death is being exploited by the Pentagon to recruit Americans to go fight and die and bleed on foreign shores.
	Because, you know, that's obviously this was planned all along.
	So the, you know, Trump's gonna give Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom, I think it is.
	Well, now Trump has announced the next U.S. Navy aircraft carrier is gonna be named the USS Charlie Kirk.
	At least this is this is what I'm seeing.
	I haven't seen it from the White House yet, but I'm seeing this online.
	Uh if it's a joke, it's it's a joke in very poor taste.
	But it's probably not a joke.
	I mean, it's just so bizarre how the administration is working so hard to celebrate Charlie Kirk after clearly he was assassinated by intelligence services, which may have included elements of the CIA.
	But I think it was decided that they could use Charlie's name in his death in a far more effective way than what Charlie could do alive.
	And think about it, this allows them to pursue the narrative of radical left-wing terrorism and to declare war on the left and to also censor freedom of speech, etc.
	So they use Charlie's death to really exploit his uh reputation in order to carry out the aims of the empire.
	So that's messed up, folks.
	That is messed up.
	And it also speaks to probably who was involved in the murder of Charlie Kirk.
	All right, so we're gonna jump into some more positive news here with the interview coming up with John Miller about animals.
	And I I'm really happy to be able to bring you this interview on a Friday because I I don't want every podcast to be you know, doom and gloom about oh my god, look what's happening in the world and World War Three, and you know, people are getting killed.
	But we do live in dark times, you know.
	There's just no way around the fact that we live in dark times.
	But I try to bring positive information and a lot of solutions wherever I can.
	So I think you'll really enjoy this interview.
	I want to give credit to our sponsors today.
	Uh quickly, the satellite phone store at SAT123.
	And remember, that's where you can also get solar generators, which you're gonna need when the power grid becomes a lot less reliable.
	Uh that's absolutely going to happen.
	Especially the eastern power grid that affects the 13 states, you know, including uh Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, etc.
	Uh, even Illinois.
	That's not gonna be fun.
	Uh but you can find solar generators at uh SAT123.com, as well as satellite phones and dark bags, which are Faraday bags and uh many other preparedness items that can be very useful.
	Uh of course, thank you for all your support at our store, HealthRanger Store.com.
	And know that we are committed to clean foods, clean ingredients, clean formulations.
	We use Texas Rainwater to make our own colloidal silver for our colored silver mouthwash, and also our um our first aid gel, which is also made with seven essential oils, and also our deodorant products, which are made with uh baking soda and magnesium, not aluminum.
	So a lot of you out there may be using store-bought deodorants that are loaded with aluminum and toxic fragrance, and that aluminum goes right through your underarm skin into your blood supply, into your lymph system in some cases, and then aluminum can accumulate in your brain, and many researchers believe it's tied to dementia or Alzheimer's.
	So it's just there's you don't need aluminum as a nutrient.
	You need to detox from aluminum and avoid exposure.
	So switch to our deodorant, which isn't made with any aluminum.
	Again, it's just baking soda and then magnesium, which is actually good for you.
	If you absorb magnesium, you know, your body thanks you.
	So check all that out at HealthRangerStore.com, plus storable foods, certified organic, uh, superfoods, supplements, and a lot more, including sources of iodine and many, many other things, essential oils.
	Uh, check it out again, HealthRangerStore.com.
	And thank you for your support.
	All right.
	Well, here's the interview today.
	Enjoy the rest of your Friday, and I'll have updates for you this weekend.
	Be safe.
	Okay, take care.
	There's always a way to fix something uh in dog language.
	Dogs are not for babies, they're not your children.
	Uh Belgian Mellon Holy you have right there is that dog was babied all the time.
	You would have a monster, you know, having especially a large dog.
	A great responsibility and a so many people just shouldn't really have those dogs in the first place.
	So come on up.
	Yeah, okay, good boy.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brightown.com.
	I'm Mike Adams with my sidekick, Roadie here, who's joining us because today we're interviewing an expert in uh dog training and also a man who helps people with so-called problem dogs, but actually, as you know, a lot of time it's a problem human that's but we're gonna talk about that.
	Uh his name is John Miller, and he's with a company called Texas K9 Rehab.
	And that's the website.
	I've got it up here, Texas, K9Rhab.com, where K9 is the letter K and the numeral nine.
	All right, so welcome to the show today.
	John, it's uh it's great to have you on.
	Thanks for having me, Mike.
	Uh, been watching you for many years now.
	Started watching you when I was 18, 19, um, 37 now, so it is an honor to be on your show with the Mike Adams, the health ranger, and I'm excited to talk to you about dogs today.
	Well, I I love this topic, and thank you for those kind words.
	And uh, you know, of course, I've got my dog with me here today.
	This is Roadie for everybody.
	We have a side shot.
	I don't know if we've got a side of you.
	He's he's just gonna hang out here until we ask him to do something.
	Um I've got other dogs, and I've I've always had dogs since I was uh a child, and you know, I have great empathy and compassion for animals.
	And um yet sometimes they don't do exactly what we want them to do, right?
	They they are their own dog, right?
	They have their own personality.
	So tell us about how you help people get along better with their companions.
	So anytime I'm working with a client and they're having an issue with their dog, I always try to ask myself, how would this issue be resolved in a pack of dogs if there were no humans present, if humans are never in this picture?
	Because there's always a way to fix something uh in dog language.
	Um so really the key is understanding dog behavior.
	Um, understanding how it is similar to human behavior in some ways, but in many ways it's not.
	Um, and we need to understand that we should not be humanizing dogs.
	Um, and we need to try and understand them from an animal perspective and from a predator uh perspective uh first and foremost.
	And one thing that I really like to um reiterate all the time to people is that you know, dogs are not fur babies.
	Um they're not your children, uh they're not your cuddle babies, even though, you know, obviously sometimes you want to uh you know cut up with your dog and everything.
	I'm not saying you can't cuddle your dog.
	It's just that a lot of people have um sort of made dogs seem like this cute, cuddly thing.
	And in many ways that's just not true.
	Like, for example, the um uh Belgian Melonwall you have right there, if if that dog was babied all the time, uh you would have a monster uh on your hands.
	So, you know, having uh especially a large dog, any dog really, but especially a large dog comes with a great responsibility.
	And I feel like people need to either have experience owning dogs before or spend a lot of time with dogs before they decide to get um such a large dog.
	And there's so many people that have large dogs, and uh, you know, you hear about bad things happening, and they so many people just shouldn't really have those dogs in the first place.
	So um I'm always trying to teach people how does how does a dog fix a problem?
	Um, how would a pack of dogs fix an issue?
	And then once we know that answer, then we can start working with the dog.
	And the main way to communicate with the dog is with your body language.
	Um, and I see I see a lot of my clients whenever I first meet them, they're they're speaking a lot.
	And that's because we're like primates and we we use our mouths a lot and we like to chatter a whole lot.
	Um, but for a dog, the way that they communicate for the most part is with their body language.
	Yeah.
	Okay, um, Roadie has a question.
	Um the question is uh for people who want to own uh large dogs, um talk about the the space requirements.
	Because of course I live on a ranch, so it's perfect for a dog like this.
	We get to run, he jogs with me, he gets to swim.
	It's a daily thing.
	He's, I mean, I I run him so hard because I'm also into fitness.
	But many people don't have the those opportunities.
	They don't have the space, or they may themselves not be as physically active, and yet they have a dog that demands a lot of physical activity.
	Talk about the importance of matching those two together.
	Yeah.
	So if you're considering getting a large dog or even a lot of small dogs that have losses energy, um, you really need to consider how how active of a person you are.
	Um and if you're not a very active person, you need to ask yourself how you're going to exercise this dog and how are you going to meet his or her needs.
	Um I'm on five acres, and we have a lot of room for our dogs to run around.
	And so as far as the exercise aspect of things, it's it's a lot easier for me here than if I were an apartment.
	Back when I was um about 20 years old, I had a Doberman and I had an apartment and I had to walk him down the stairs multiple times a day.
	And I would go on long walks with him to make sure that uh he was well exercised.
	But that's the thing.
	Uh, you know, if if you're working all day um, you know, five days a week and your dog is cooped up in an apartment, um, you really need to think uh if you're able to keep a large dog in that situation.
	And then even in even with that said, even if you have a small dog, you're still gonna have to get plenty of exercise for that dog.
	But you know, a dog like yours, a uh, you know, Belgian Malawal, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, there's just so many that are not going to be able to stay inside of a cooped-up house all day.
	So you really need to ask yourself that question.
	It's if you're even able to take that dog on, because then you're going to be in a situation where you have to give the dog up, and now the dog has behavioral issues because it's been cooked up in your apartment for so long.
	And now it's even more difficult to get rid of the dog.
	Um, so you really need to ask all these questions before you take on such a big responsibility.
	Let's talk about uh personality fits too, because this my dog here is a trained, you know, security dog, went through a couple of years of uh very aggressive training.
	I'm actually uh I've learned a lot since um having him about really how aggressive some of the training is, and some of it might even be called uh cruel by some people.
	And uh I I've seen some of those traits come through that I've had to reshape.
	But one of the questions uh what uh when I was considering getting him, and he's got a European passport, by the way, he came from the Netherlands.
	So he's he's actually a European citizen, which is why he doesn't speak English very well.
	Um not Texan anyway.
	But um the people were asking if I can handle this dog, because he's uh an intact male and he has his own mind.
	He's he's very you know strong-willed.
	And that's also a very important consideration, is it not?
	Absolutely.
	Um, you know, as we said before, you have to ask yourself, do I have the time and and uh space to deal with the large dog?
	And then on top of that, within the category of large dogs, you have dogs like yours that require even more um expertise and knowledge to work with him.
	You really need to know dog behavior if you're taking on a German Shepherd or a Belgian Malinois or a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull or anything that's large and powerful, especially a Belgian Melon Wall like you have, because those dogs are uh chosen specifically to help with security and police work and military work.
	Uh they they want a job to do all the time.
	Oh, yes.
	The only time that they don't want to work is if they are completely exhausted.
	And that doesn't even last very long.
	So um, you know, you you gotta realize you know, you know, some people saw the newer John Wick uh movies with and they had two Belgian Mallon laws in there, and everybody wanted a Belgian Mall because they're so awesome at attacking people and uh all the commands that they learn and stuff.
	And it's like realistically, most people just don't have the time um to work with their dog that much to get them to that point.
	And most people just need to be working on socializing their dogs.
	Um That's that's the biggest thing I try to teach my clients, uh, especially clients with young dogs, is that it's more important to socialize your dog than it is uh per se to train your dog because you can take an eight-year-old dog that doesn't know how to sit, doesn't know how to come when called, doesn't know how to lay down, and you can teach them all of those things in one day.
	But if you have a dog that wasn't socialized, you're not working on sit and stay and things like that.
	You're working on getting the dog to not be afraid of people or attack people or pee on themselves when they see someone or all those things.
	Those those problems typically can't be fixed in one day.
	And that's where you're in a situation where you're doing way more work than you ever thought you would if you could have just socialized the dog uh first and foremost.
	Socializing the dog with all different types of people, different ages of people, different races of people, um, putting your dog around uh a country setting and putting your dog around a city setting, um, you know, going in and out of stores, uh, just really, really focusing on socializing your dog with different environments and different people and different animals.
	Um, and then also at the same time on the side, you want to be training them how to do their their basic commands.
	But it's absolutely crucial that a dog uh needs to be socialized because if you, you know, the larger the dog you have, the more drive that dog has, the more of a dangerous position you're putting yourself in, or you're putting others in because that can either be become aggressive or because it could become fearful.
	Um it's just it's just way easier to socialize a dog for the first year or two of its life versus having to deal with a headache for its whole life because it was never socialized.
	Absolutely.
	Well, and I've been very fortunate with Roadie here because whenever I take him out in public, I take him shopping with me, etc.
	Uh, he's been great even when children reach out and want to pet, he's fine, or other dogs get aggressive, he backs off.
	Wow.
	He's not looking to fight a dog.
	He's looking to bite a human that's attacking me.
	Absolutely, 100%.
	He's not looking for fights.
	Uh tell us about where you're located in Texas.
	So we're in North Texas, we're about an hour north of Dallas in a town called Van Alstein.
	Okay.
	And then do people do you board dogs for a training period or how how do you work with clients?
	Yeah, so we do boarding trains.
	Uh we'll keep your dog for a few weeks, um, cover all the behavioral issues that it's dealing with.
	Also, we do basic training as well.
	Um, we do home sessions, uh, we'll come to your house uh or wherever you are and spend a few hours with you working on your dog, you with with you and your dog.
	And and actually um, you know, we can get a lot done in a few hours.
	Uh most of my clients only need a few uh private sessions because it's it's not so much like a lot of work per se.
	It's more so just knowing what to do.
	Like when my dog does this, how should I act?
	What should my body language be that?
	So 90% of the work is not you know running your dog or doing all this physical work.
	It's just knowing uh uh how to be aware of your own uh body language and how your body language is communicating with your dog.
	So yeah, we do trains, we do regular boarding, we do daycare, I do private sessions.
	I also travel for sessions, uh, and then we also do Zoom sessions as well.
	Oh, Zoom session.
	Okay, so anybody watching this anywhere in the world can take advantage of that.
	Absolutely.
	Okay, so let me give out your website again.
	It's Texas K9Rhab.com.
	And that's the letter K and the numeral nine, Texas K9 rehab dog boarding and training services, including uh Zoom sessions, uh etc.
	All right.
	Well, that's that's really good to know.
	Um it seems to me that along the way, and I I know you want to be kind about you know people and your clients and so on, but one of the things that I've observed is that problem dogs often stem from problem people or who just don't know, they're reinforcing the wrong things.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	Um I deal with are people with good intentions and they're doing the wrong thing.
	So without effort, there's putting up the wrong effort.
	Um, and and they have good intentions.
	But for example, uh, let's say someone has a dog that is growling at people just for no good reason.
	They're just every anytime someone comes around their owner or around them, they're just growling at that person.
	They might want to bite them.
	And then their owner comes in and pets them and says, it's okay, you're gonna be okay.
	Um, or they might even get advice from another trainer that's trying to tell them to give them treats to be distracted.
	I've seen that too, where wow clients hire a trainer that's one of these like positive reinforcement only trainers, which doesn't actually exist.
	I could go into that.
	Um, and that's just where they flood the dog with treats and distractions, but then the dog is really being reinforced.
	It's being told, Yes, I like that you're being aggressive.
	Exactly.
	Um I've had it's it's mainly people with good intentions and they're just doing the wrong things, or they've received bad advice.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a really good point.
	And so that gets us into the training method.
	Now, when I first got roadie, uh they gave me uh uh a collar, you know, a remote with a collar.
	And of course, that is not a punishment collar, it's an attention collar.
	So there's a very small amount of electricity.
	I I always test it on myself, but I I put that collar on him if I ever go out in public, and I almost never actually use it.
	Right.
	But once the collar's on him, he knows that it's it's like it's not playtime.
	Right.
	But he was trained with the collar, but but I please explain this because sometimes they're known as shock collars.
	Well, kind of, but they're not punishments.
	They're it's dogs are distracted every two seconds.
	So talk to us about the role of the responsible use of a collar in training.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Um, so when I've been training dogs for 17 years, I've worked with thousands of dogs.
	Um, and my first two years of training dogs, I I didn't use an e-collar because I kind of had this ego thing where I was like, I don't need to use an e-collar, I don't need all that.
	But then I finally started uh using them and I realized how beneficial they can be and how how much faster you can train your dog and work with your dog on things.
	And I'm talking about, you know, um use like for example, using an e-collar in a situation versus not using an e-collar could be a matter of fixing an issue in one or two days, or it could be three or four months.
	Yeah, right.
	They're they're very helpful tools.
	And I like to um tell people that uh it's really not electricity, it's uh if you've ever had a tens unit used on you, which is like if you've been to the chiropractor and they put these little pads on your muscles, and they can be it causes a twitch of your muscle.
	Yeah, it basically just kind of massages your muscles.
	It's the same technology.
	Totally instead of there being these big pads that would go on us, there are these little points, um, usually two little points that will uh go onto their neck, and it's the dog's not actually being electrocuted, it's just feeling a stimulation.
	Um, and for 99% of the uses with e-collars, we don't really need to crank it up.
	We just need to uh make it to where they're they're just barely feeling a sensation on their neck.
	That's right.
	So either we can get their attention.
	Like, for example, if the dog is running too far away and we're trying to work with them on off-leash training, they're uh uh the dog's going the wrong way too far, we're gonna say the word no.
	Then after we say the word no, if the dog keeps going, then we're gonna hold that button down.
	And then the moment that the dog redirects, we let the button go.
	And then whenever the dog comes to us, then we reward the dog.
	So in that sense, we're really using uh negative and positive reinforcement.
	And that that's really what I try to educate people on is uh we live in a world of positive and negative, and the dogs live in the same world that we do.
	Um, and and no dog and no person has ever lived a purely positive life.
	Um like we live we learn through our lives, and and dogs learn through their lives from positive and negative reinforcement, what is good and what is bad, what is safe and what is not.
	Um so you know, like for example, some of these positive reinforcement only trainers will uh you know, they'll have a dog on a leash and the dog's pulling really hard on the leash.
	Well, technically speaking, they just created negative reinforcement for the dog because the dog is pulling on the leash, now he's uncomfortable, and they're the one that put him in that situation.
	But they pretend like they're purely positive because they're not the ones tugging on the leash and doing all this stuff.
	Um so it'd actually be much more positive if you can fix that problem, and then the dog has a positive experience instead of continuing on its negative um experience.
	So stay stay clear, especially if you're dealing with like a behavioral issue, um, a dangerous issue, or it's severe anxiety, severe aggression.
	If you're dealing with behavioral problems, be careful with those positive reinforcement only trainers.
	Well, that yeah that leads me to sorry to interrupt, but the the question of establishing dominance.
	And some people are dominated by their dogs, right?
	So and and I want you to talk about that, but let me give it a uh an example of how I've established you know, respectful dominance though with my dog.
	So when I'm walking out of my office with my dog, he comes with me and then he looks at me.
	He's waiting to watch me, see if I'm gonna say something or do something or throw something or point or whatever.
	He's like tuned in, like, what am I doing?
	What do you what should I do?
	That's the right relationship.
	And then I give him things to do.
	Here, you know, you're gonna load up in the vehicle, you're gonna you can have fun, you can go fetch this toy, or you're gonna stay right here.
	You're gonna stay here while I go do something.
	Like he's looking for direction because I have the brain.
	He's got the the teeth and the feet, and he can climb trees and whatever, but I've got the brain that he doesn't have.
	I'm the planner.
	But what happens when humans flip that around and then let the dog dominate them?
	So uh usually whenever a dog has dominated or taken control of their environment and/or their owners, um, the owner most of the time doesn't realize it.
	Um they they'll they'll often just do, you know, let's say they they get on the couch all the time, they knock things over, they jump on everybody, they get what they want all the time, they get food all the time.
	There's uh they do what's called free feeding, and the dogs has 24 act 24-7 access to their foods just sitting there at all times.
	Um, and so the the dog really doesn't have much of a sense of purpose.
	Um, and it's it's taken over, and and deep inside the dog wants someone to have control.
	But what happens whenever there's no one in control, whether it be another dog or a person or even a cat, I've seen a lot of situations where there is a cat in the house that's very confident and has that uh energy, and it actually makes the dog chill out.
	And then I've seen where that cat may pass away or or or leave that situation, and then the dog has all these issues, and the person hasn't even done anything different.
	It's just that they're just that cat or whatever it is, maybe put maybe putting off that energy of being calm and in control.
	Um, and so the first thing I I do with my clients is I talk to them about their body language and I talk to them about their energy.
	Um and if they're putting off a nervous energy, then that's how they're communicating with their dog.
	For example, let's say you have a dog that whenever you walk them on the leash, if they see another dog, they want to lunge at that dog, and whether it'd be aggressive or they're just over excited, and they're just like immediately react and lunge at that dog.
	What I've seen often happen is the owner, they see the dog first.
	They see the other dog on the other side of the street first, and they know that their dog is going to react.
	So then they start getting nervous and they start tensing up on the leash, like preparing for the dog to do that.
	And that's telling the dog, okay, my owner was comfortable, but then when there's these other dogs or people around, they become uncomfortable.
	So they're not in control and they're not confident, and there's something wrong.
	They're everything was fine before these other people and dogs came around, but as soon as they come around, my owner gets nervous.
	So there must be something wrong with them.
	And so then I need to become even more reactive and more aggressive.
	Now I need to take control of the situation because my owner is not calm.
	So that's why we need to stay calm in every situation, even if your dog's being aggressive or being anxious or whatever it's doing.
	You want to stay calm uh throughout the whole thing.
	So if we're trying to get a dog to stop doing something, we don't want to be like, no, no, Max, no, stop doing that, Max.
	Hey, because the dog just sees someone chattering and all this energy.
	It needs to be and then fix the problem silently immediately, and then it's over.
	And that's the great thing about dogs is um, you know, dogs can get in a dog fight, and then literally two seconds later, they're fine with each other because they resolve problems fast.
	They they don't let things drag out.
	And that's what happens whenever uh, you know, dogs are living with humans is we tend to drag out problems too long because we don't have a pack of dogs that's gonna fix the situation.
	May just have one or two or three dogs.
	Um, and that that that real pack dynamic of a balanced pack is not there.
	Um so yeah, we we need to always be aware of our body language and aware, how are we acting when whenever a dog has an issue, how am I acting?
	Am I acting different than I would have if I was calm and confident?
	And if I am, I need to kind of reassess how I'm acting and and and start being a little more quiet and a little more calm and in control.
	So it sounds like what you're saying is that part of being a responsible but also an effective uh pet owner is to be a better person, like and have have more mindfulness of what you are doing and how you're reacting to the world around you.
	Absolutely.
	Um and and you know, one little tip that I'll give to people, um, you know, let's say you have a dog that is pulling on the leash, it gets distracted on the leashes all over the place.
	Um there's there's quite a few things you can do to help that.
	But one thing you can try, and I have everyone do this is stop looking at your dog while you're walking them because you're whenever you're looking at your dog while you're walking, your dog sees you looking at them and they're thinking, well, they either want something from me or this they're just watching me and they're not actually walking with purpose or determination because they're looking at me.
	So when you walk your dog, walk with purpose, look in front of you and and walk confidently and don't stare at your dog the whole time.
	Your dog is going to check in with you, guaranteed.
	Whenever your dog checks in with you, he's gonna look up, he's gonna see, wow, that person's confident and they're determined on where they're going.
	And they're way more likely to follow you and walk with you if you have that energy.
	Um, the energy of determination and control.
	And and and really we're we're we want to tell our dogs that this is our walk, and you get to come with me on my walk.
	Even though secretly it may just be for the dog, and you just want to walk your dog to help your dog, your dog needs to feel like you're going on this adventure and and you and they get to come with you on this journey.
	Uh-huh.
	Okay.
	That's a that's a really good and an important perspective.
	Thanks for mentioning that.
	So my dog is uh having a great sleep right now, and he doesn't mind that I'm messing with his feet.
	Nice.
	He's like totally, totally comfortable.
	Look at this.
	He doesn't care.
	Oh, yeah.
	He's like, wait, what are you doing?
	He's like, seriously, man.
	Huh?
	He's like, seriously, man, my feet.
	Yeah, that's that's exactly what he's saying.
	Um, surprised me about this dog is that he does not react to pain like other dogs.
	Like one time he had a very bad laceration along his ribs uh from jumping into the pond.
	And I guess he he kind of cut himself on a branch or something that was there.
	I didn't even know about it until a couple hours later.
	I'm like, oh my God, like your your side is opened up.
	And so of course I I treated it.
	We we use some super glue to put it back together after we cleanse the wound and everything.
	But he wasn't reacting to it at all.
	Whereas I have another dog that is just the worst wimp ever, that any little thing is like, ah, like it's the end of the world.
	What is it that in your experience, what why is there so much variation in the way dogs interpret pain?
	Uh so your other dog that you said is more of a wimp.
	What kind of dog is he?
	Uh blue healer.
	Okay, blue healer, interesting.
	Yeah.
	So um, you know, a dog like a Belgian Malinois or a pit bull, German Shepherd, and and quite a few others, uh, whenever they feel pain, it, you know, they were bred differently and they were bred to be more tough.
	Whereas if you have uh, for example, a dog, I have a chihuahua, I have uh seven dogs, and our my smallest dog is a chihuahua, and she's so sensitive that like you don't even have to touch her.
	If your foot just lands near her, sometimes she will scream.
	Uh, but at the same time, she will play rough with my Rottweiler and she doesn't scream.
	So it's really this this uh, you know, sensitive, more sensitive, more reactive thing with each uh different breed.
	Um and certain dogs, certain dogs were bred to be more tough and be more strong, like a Belgian Malinois was bred to uh herd uh animals and live on the farm.
	And it wasn't bred to be in the house all day.
	Whereas if you had like a shih tzu um or uh, you know, a um uh a Frenchie or something like that, those dogs are not even gonna survive outside.
	Um so they're just naturally more sensitive.
	Um, and there's probably some truth to this where the further away from the wolf or the domesticated wolf that became the dog wolf basically thousands of years ago.
	Um the the further away you get from that and the more me differently mutated they are, the the more the different they're gonna perceive things and and react to things mentally and physically as well.
	Like uh they've done plenty of studies where the more smushed in the dog's face is like a uh like a Frenchie um or a uh a uh it's another one with uh with a flat face, like a like a uh French bulldog.
	Yeah, um, they have more behavior, they have more behavioral and more uh physical issues, medical issues.
	Huh.
	Um and it's just because they've been deviated so far away from their natural state, and they wouldn't even be able to survive without the help of a human in their and their shelter anyway.
	Um so there's a lot of different variations um with different breeds.
	Yeah, uh talk to us about the uh circadian rhythms of dogs versus humans too, because of course I live in the country, and it's easy to observe that all the wild dogs, they sleep all day and they hunt all night, you know, and then they socialize, they do all the things all night.
	I you can hear the coyotes.
	Uh you can sometimes spot the foxes at night.
	Uh in during the day, they're resting, or maybe it's even too hot, or that's just not their hunting time.
	So a lot of the dogs, like my dog, you know, you would think genetically they're designed to be awake all night and sleep all day.
	But that's the opposite of what we do as humans.
	How how does this affect our relationships with our dogs?
	So actually, uh if you look at wolves or um coyotes, or if you have a pack of dogs that's that's large enough, a nice well-balanced pack of dogs, uh, they'll never there will never be a time where they're all asleep at the same time.
	As you're saying with with the rhythm, there's sort of this like natural thing where one of them has at least one of them has to be awake in order to protect the pack.
	Um and that just came from thousands of years of evolution and learning that if they all fell asleep at the same time as a big thing.
	Yeah, that would be dangerous.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, then another wolf pack or or or whatever, a bear or whatever would pick up on that and they would learn their weakness.
	Um, so uh that's one thing that I found out uh years ago that's really cool, is there's never a time where you have a pack of dogs or a pack of uh wolves or you know, anything that's that's truly depending on itself um as a unit to survive.
	They're never they're never going to all sleep at the same time.
	That makes sense.
	Yep.
	But I mean, uh the the but the height of activity that I hear from like the coyotes is after dark.
	Right.
	That's when they're I mean, maybe they're celebrating they've caught a rabbit and then they're fighting over the rabbit or or or whatever, or they're socializing or fighting for dominance themselves, but they they can be very loud.
	And then what's interesting is my other dogs will hear the coyotes, and my dogs will start howling and sounding off uh with the coyotes.
	So then we have a whole chorus going.
	Right.
	Yeah, that's basically them uh most of the time that they're doing that, it's either a mating call or usually it's uh just letting other packs know and letting other animals know that this is our space.
	And so sometimes, since you said you live in the country, you might hear a pack of wolves over here, like you know, a mile away, and then it'll go quiet for maybe 30 seconds, and then way over here, like another half mile or a mile away, you hear another pack.
	Um, and that's basically then them just kind of letting you know, like we're here, you're there, um, and that's to keep to keep the packs from uh colliding too much.
	Uh-huh.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah, fair enough.
	Okay.
	Um next question is about nutrition and health uh uh and and behavior.
	So of course, as the health ranger, I'm very much aware that what people eat affects their moods and their behavior.
	And if you keep eating a bunch of processed junk food, it will affect you.
	You it will change your personality and it'll change your health for the worse, of course.
	How much do you get into nutrition and uh you know Humans tend to choose dog treats based on what they look like.
	Like, oh, it look, it's in the shape of this, and it's got this color in it.
	It's artificial colors, man.
	Yeah.
	So what's your take on nutrition for dogs?
	Yeah.
	So uh general rule of thumb is um when you're buying products at the store, generally speaking, not always, but the cheaper the product is, the lower the quality is going to be.
	And that's not always true, but in most cases, especially with the treats, like when you look at the pepperonis and the beginning strips and stuff like that, like you said, that stuff's just loaded with junk.
	And if you feed your dog those type of treats every day, it's going to have some long-term health issues down the road.
	Um, that's that's that'd be even worse than eating McDonald's every day.
	There's some really bad stuff in there.
	So you want to look at the ingredients.
	If you see a bunch of chemicals that you've never heard of, it's probably not a good treat.
	Um, but like for example, beef lung, like dehydrated beef lung is just beef lung.
	It says it right there in the ingredients, beef lung.
	So in your dog would love that, and it's a nice treat.
	It it lasts for a long time.
	Um, so there's a lot of treats out there that aren't too expensive that you can choose over these mainstream things that you see in the commercials and on the shelves at the store.
	Um, and then another thing on top of the treats is obviously their food.
	Um, the best diet for a dog would be a mostly raw food diet.
	Um, and that's what I used to feed my dogs.
	But then after having so many dogs and having a wife and kids and running the business and doing all these things, I went back to being lazy uh and I went with a high quality kibble.
	Um and then when it comes to the kibble too, uh, you you always want to look at the ingredients.
	I mean, you can buy a 30-pound bag of dog food that costs $15, or you can buy a 30-pound bag of dog food that costs a hundred dollars, and uh you can probably find something in the middle there that works for you.
	Um, but when you look at the ingredients of it of dog food, if you're not going to do a raw food diet, which would be best.
	Most people aren't going to do that.
	So I like to educate people on the kibble.
	Um what you want to look for is does it actually say the meat name in the bag?
	For example, if it says beef formula, when you look at the ingredients, does it say beef or does it say beef byproduct?
	Um, and in most of the cheaper foods and even some of the expensive ones, um, it only says byproduct.
	And basically what that means is like they took all the meat from the cow, for example, like if it says beef byproduct, they take all the meat from the cow and all the stuff that's left over, like the bones and the guts and stuff, is just grinded down and then mixed into this dog food that's mostly just corn and cornmeal, and it's really just there so they can say beef is in the food.
	And it's really just almost free junk that's left over that they get from other stuff that was either put into better dog food or human-grade food, and they're just getting the leftovers like the trash and mixing in with this cheap dog food.
	So when you're buying dog food that says in the ingredients like corn, corn syrup, corn, uh corn, corn, uh, and then beef byproduct, there's not actually any meat in there, and it's just a bunch of corn filler.
	Um, and if if you're if your dog is on one of those lower quality foods and you switch them to a high quality food, um, you'll notice within a few weeks that they have less dandruff, that their their uh coat is shinier and softer, and they'll probably even act a little bit better too.
	So I've seen some dogs that where they switched their diet and their general behavior became better just because they were on such a bad diet.
	Absolutely.
	This is a really critical point.
	I'm so glad that you covered that in detail.
	And I I've never seen a dog out in a cornfield eating a corn cob, you know.
	Um really hungry, it probably would be.
	Yeah, if it's really but also rice, don't forget about rice.
	So there's there's corn and rice in a lot of these cheap dog foods.
	And that is not what the canine digestive tract is even built for, period.
	You know.
	Um, what I do, because I have chickens, so they get raw eggs on a pretty regular basis.
	And of course, there are free-range eggs and all organic feed, et cetera.
	So it's it's like the the best that they can possibly Get then some of my dogs, especially the Blue Healer, who who's very intelligent, she she hunts down and finds the eggs herself anyway.
	She's just always she's the egg hunter.
	She's also uh she has a nickname of the bunny gobbler because what she does is she finds small bunny rabbits, yeah, like you know, five or six inches, and she swallows them whole.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, she she chew chews them a little bit and then just gulps them down.
	I'm like, what the and I I showed my audience, I got a picture of one time.
	So she got the name bunny gobbler.
	It's like I've never seen a dog do that before.
	Yeah.
	But then my other dogs will uh sometimes they'll catch a rabbit.
	Sometimes they'll find deer bones from a recently dead deer.
	That's actually a kind of a common thing.
	And then they'll go for the bones and they'll get the marrow out of the bones, etc.
	And then occasionally they'll find like a dead hog, a wild hog, and then they try to bring the stinky hog fur onto the main ranch area, and I have to get rid of that.
	But they love the horrible smell of that.
	They love it.
	They like to roll around in it.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So those are some of the things that my dogs eat.
	But also, one more, and this is my question.
	Many of my dogs occasionally like to munch on donkey poo.
	So, what's the donkey poo, which is like fermented grass concentrate, I guess.
	Like, what's the donkey poo uh food all about?
	Yeah, uh, I have I've noticed that too.
	In fact, um uh I used to live in a different place, and we were on a farm, it was like a 200-acre farm, and my border collie at the time would love looking for donkey poop, and he would turn his back on it and roll in the ground and get donkey poop all over him.
	Um, and there's something stimulating about it.
	I think it's kind of similar to like cats and catnip.
	Um I think it's uh something to do with the mixture of the poop and the uh the hay that's been like fermented or something and weird smell that they love.
	Um, but uh I'm not a huge fan of it.
	Um but since we're on like health and nutrition, I wanted to bring up um vaccines because most people that take their dog to a vet and really care for their dog and want the best for their dog, they're actually over-vaccinating their dog and giving him way too many vaccines.
	Um I'm glad you mentioned that.
	Yeah, this is something I want to ask you.
	Vaccines are pushed by vets in the same way that pediatricians want children to come back into the office to get more children's vaccines.
	It's it's a it's a business model.
	Yeah, and they can get away with more because they're dogs, they're animals, and there's even less testing and and and and less oversight on all that.
	And you know, a lot of people don't know that the rabies vaccine, whether it says one year or three years, it's actually a three-year vaccine.
	And so a dog will get a their first rabies vaccine, and then they'll come back to their vet like a year later, and then their vet will say many times their vet will say, Oh, it's been a year, your dog needs another rabies vaccine.
	He only had the first year, but it's the same vaccine.
	It's a three-year vaccine, um, and it probably works even longer than that.
	But uh, you know, one thing that people can do, and and most people don't know this, is you can uh do a titer testing for your dog.
	Um, and that's where they do a blood test, and they can test the antibodies of whatever virus or disease um that would that they would have otherwise vaccinated for, and then you can opt out of getting them vaccinated.
	And uh there's a lot of you know, like apartment complexes or dog boarding places that will require an up-to-date vaccine sheet, and they they're a lot of places are very strict on it.
	Um, and if you're not one to vaccinate your dog every single year, like I don't want to do that.
	Um, you can just have them tighter tested, which is a blood test, and it'll show if they have antibodies for whatever it is, whether it's borderella or uh parvo or the flu or whatever it is.
	And honestly, most of the time, and and I've seen dogs that haven't even been vaccinated, they do have an immune system for a lot of this stuff, and they don't vaccine uh 100%.
	And I'll I'll say on the record here, now of course my dog Roadie received all kinds of vaccines in Europe And in order to fly and everything.
	But I have never given him any vaccines, and I won't.
	I don't vaccinate any of my dogs, period.
	But I have a unique situation.
	So number one, I do give them ivermectin for heartworms.
	And I I have a pipette and I can calculate the micrograms that are necessary based on their body weight.
	Not everybody knows maybe the right dosage.
	And so it's a very small dosage, actually, for dogs compared to goats.
	But I use it for dogs and and goats, et cetera.
	But I I give them some ivermectin from time to time.
	And then they are not I don't take them to dog parks to be around other people's dogs.
	Yeah, don't do that.
	I'm so glad I have it written down here.
	I'm so glad that you brought that up.
	Um, because I have people ask me all the time, or they'll just mention it.
	They'll say, Yeah, I'm gonna take my dog to the dog park, or there's this dog park that we go to, so I can give my dog exercise.
	Um and you know, number one, there's two, there's two big reasons you shouldn't go to a dog park.
	Number one, uh there could be disease there.
	Uh people that bring their sick dogs there all the time, and it just like never gets cleaned up.
	There could be parvo that stays in the dirt, and the parvo can actually stay in uh a dirt for like several years.
	And you it has to be like bleached several times in order to um so there's the disease aspect of it and getting sick.
	But then on top of that, even if the dog park is super clean, you're really uh taking a gamble by going into a dog park.
	And the bigger the dog park and the more crowded it is, and the more people that are going in there, the bigger the gamble is because there are people that will go to the shelter or wherever and they get a dog, and that dog is super friendly with them, it's super friendly with their kids, and maybe it was even friendly with their one dog, the other dog that they have at home, and then they take it to a dog park and then it kills another dog.
	Um and and then, you know.
	It could have it could have been someone that goes to that dog park every day.
	They've been going there for several weeks or even several years, and it's just all it takes is that one dog that was aggressive and wanted to attack another dog, and it can just absolutely ruin everything.
	Um so the thing is you're not in control at a dog park.
	Uh the best thing you can do is to, you know, walk around and be confident.
	Don't stand there, don't stand around all these other people.
	That's what happens at a dog park is everybody like gathers around and they like talk to each other, and there's just like no direction for the dogs.
	And it's basically just saying, you dogs do what you want.
	And you know, most of the time people get lucky and there's not a dog fight or whatever.
	But for me, I'm just not going to risk it.
	I've heard of way too many horror stories of dogs getting killed or severely injured at dog parks or even people being bitten by dogs at dog parks.
	Um so you know, if you really want to socialize your dog, best thing to do is find a place like mine that has uh dog daycare.
	Um, and you know, where your dog is in a situation where it has a professional, a dog trainer at least, or dog behaviorist that is watching over them and looking out for for bad uh for red flags behavior-wise.
	Um because most places even like they'll just throw all the dogs together.
	They don't know how to read the behavior, and there was actually signs of a dog that was going to bite or attack for maybe even days, and it just didn't know how to read the behavior, and then it's like all of a sudden this dog that I thought was nice just attacked this other little dog.
	Um so you you really the best way to socialize your dog is in a professional environment uh where there's a professional dog trainer behaviors that can give you guidance and look over all the dogs and uh critique you and your dog and and whatever if there's any issues going on with your dog.
	Um, or obviously if you have some friends that have friendly dogs, then go and let your dog play with your friends' dogs or your or your family's dogs.
	But you just don't want to take that gamble of um of going in and and there's being like 30, 20, 30 dogs in this dog park, and you're just hoping for the best.
	Yeah, you know, especially if you have a small dog.
	You have a small dog and a large dog attacks it, it it could be fatal in in seconds.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm so glad you mentioned that.
	And and for me personally, I just I don't want to take my dog and subject them to the all the filth of the dog park.
	And but also I don't go to human parks either, because I don't want to be shed on by all the vaccine jabbed humans who are just as filthy as the dogs in in in my view.
	So I don't go to human parks either.
	Um I do go out in public, of course, but I've also got you know protections with nutrition or you know, healthy functioning immune system, ivermectin uh it's etc.
	But I'm I'm really so glad you covered that.
	Uh I want to ask you, we're getting close to the end of the hour, but I want to ask you about the benefits to people to having dogs.
	So during COVID, you know, people suffered under a lot of lockdowns, and then their pets became very important companions for their own mental health.
	And just speak to us about some of the benefits that you see uh among your clients, your your human clients who uh whose lives are significantly improved by uh having dogs and cats and other animals around them.
	Yeah, well, uh first and foremost, dogs are just awesome.
	Um they're they're fun to be with, they're fun to play with, they make great companions.
	Um, and I would say one of the coolest things about dogs um is that they are very quick to forgive, um, much quicker than the average person, or or much quicker than even like other animals.
	Um quicker than a uh primate, quicker than a cat.
	Um, and what I mean by that is let's say, for example, you stepped on your dog's foot.
	Okay.
	Um your cat might hold on to that for a few days or even a few weeks and just kind of look at you uh a weird way, but your dog's gonna forgive you like almost immediately.
	Your dog's not gonna hold this grudge against you because you stepped on their tail or their foot or something like that, or if you told them no a little too loud and they cowered down a few seconds later, they're your best friend again.
	So they really teach us a lot about forgiveness.
	Um, and and one of the reasons that they're so forgiving is because there's just no time to hold grudges.
	That does that doesn't help us with survival to hold on to things from the past.
	Um they are basically forced to be in the moment in order to survive.
	Um, and that's why I was saying earlier, like they can get in a fight with each other, and then a few seconds later they're friends again because they like to fix things when they come up and then move on.
	Uh, and and they don't like to hold on to stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's key.
	That's what's great about dogs.
	Actually, there's one more thing I want to ask you too, which is about teaching dogs uh human vocabulary words, because I've I've done a lot of research on this, and and there are uh like apparently many dog breeds are capable of memorizing hundreds of words or recognizing hundreds of words.
	So I always teach my dogs the words for the animals that they would encounter on the ranch.
	So they know the words for donkeys versus raccoons.
	So if I say donkeys, they're gonna look on the horizon.
	They're looking for the donkeys.
	If I say raccoons, they immediately start looking in the trees.
	If I say birds, they start looking up at the sky.
	Or if I say rabbits, then they're looking down on the rabbit trails.
	Like they clearly are understanding what I'm saying as I teach them.
	I teach them with experience.
	Every time we encounter the donkeys, I say donkeys.
	And then, you know, and especially Roadie, this guy's so funny.
	He likes to pick up multicolored ring toys, as he he has here, and then he'll he'll put three or four around his neck and a couple in his mouth, and he likes to frighten the donkeys by running after them with colored rings.
	That's his favorite thing.
	And I'm like, oh, please.
	You know, but uh so when when we see donkeys, he's like, Donkeys, I get to annoy some donkeys.
	This is awesome.
	Um isn't it true?
	I mean, talk to us about animals learning English words or any, I mean any language, obviously, but words.
	Yeah.
	So that that all that goes all the way back to thousands of years ago, whenever uh man and dogs or wolves at the time, they're really called wolf dogs.
	Um thousands of years ago, they had to learn at least a few words to help with the hunting uh whenever they're hunting for other animals.
	So, like, you know, if a if a dog was hunting with other dogs only, um, it's gonna hunt a little bit differently than it than when it would hunt with people.
	So uh a dog's gonna have to learn how to stay, and preferably we're gonna want a hand command and we're also gonna want a verbal command.
	Um so we might want a dog to stay in this one area while we go around while we're hunting to the other animal, and then we say another command that makes the dog go or uh or a hand signal, the dog starts running towards the thing that we're hunting, thing that we're hunting comes straight at us, and then we can uh kill that animal.
	So it all started from things like that.
	And then when it comes to dogs learning like hundreds of words, that really comes down to certain breeds.
	You know, certain breeds are not able to do that, and certain breeds can do that easily.
	Like a border collie is the smartest dog.
	Um the reason that they're rated the smartest dog is uh for the amount of stuff that they can learn and how fast uh they can learn.
	Uh so for example, the top 10 dogs on the top 10 breed dogs on average, you can only ask them to do something, for example, like five times, and they'll do it within those five times, versus if you had like a beagle, it might take you 20 times uh with that beagle.
	Um the smarter the breed, the more words they can learn.
	And you know, in your case, we're you're teaching like the donkeys and the and squirrels and all the different names of the animals on the farm.
	Uh it sounds like mostly that's just a fun thing that your dog is learning, and and it's just fun for him, and it's his mind being stimulated.
	So uh the more things that you can teach a dog, the more that you can work with your dog, the happier your dog's gonna be, just because it sees that you want to engage with them and it gives them a sense of uh purpose as well.
	Yeah.
	Um looks like to mention to you uh before you go, because I know you're a big AI into AI and stuff.
	Um one little project that I just started working on is I'm trying to reach out to a few uh robotics companies on uh training robots how to train dogs.
	Oh, interesting.
	Yeah, so uh imagine that you leave for work and uh you come back eight hours later and your dog knows how to sit and stay and come and call because your robot uh taught him those things.
	Oh, yeah.
	Robots are gonna be able to help with that big time.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Because you know, when it comes to most training, it's just a matter of timing and patience.
	And robots are gonna have unlimited timing and patience.
	Absolutely.
	And as long as they look humanoid, the dog will generalize the body language.
	That's right, exactly.
	You know, we have a robot that says sit and does this, then the person come home and just copy exactly what the robot did.
	100%.
	All right.
	So let me do a let's do a verbal test here, just see how this goes.
	Without using any hand signals, I'm gonna ask Roadie to get his toys, okay?
	Okay.
	Hey, Roadie.
	Hey, Roadie.
	He hears you for sure and know it.
	Hey Roadie.
	Where's your toys?
	Hey Roadie.
	Hey Roadie.
	Where's your toys?
	Where's your toys?
	Where are they?
	Where's your toys?
	Where's your toys?
	Get your toys.
	Come on up.
	Yeah, okay, good boy.
	Yay, good boy, you did it.
	All right.
	So he's got that one down.
	He knows what toys are.
	Yeah.
	And he sometimes remembers where he put them.
	But usually not.
	Okay, good boy.
	Yes.
	Next, you gotta teach him to get a drink from the fridge.
	All right.
	Well, that that worked, although he he's uh he's a little bit angry that I I interrupted his nice nap.
	Now he's expecting more.
	Like, do you need to throw these or do something?
	Yeah, totally, totally.
	He's like, what's next?
	Usually there's another part to this whole thing.
	Yeah, good boy.
	That breed is such a smart dog.
	I mean, they can just work all day.
	Yep.
	Well, we'll play later.
	He'll he'll get to swim and uh run and chase these and catch them in the air.
	And sorry, sorry, we're covering your face there on this camera.
	There we go.
	We can see you now.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, anyway, John, this has been a lot of fun.

	And thank you all for watching from myself and Roy here, who's ready for some serious playtime.
	Um Thanks for watching today and uh treat your animals with compassion.
	They have souls and they have memories and they have emotions, they have first person experience or first animal experience.
	Uh so treat them with dignity, okay?
	And but also learn how to not be dominated by them.
	That's actually a healthier relationship when they can look to you for uh instructions or task or posture or context.
	So thanks for watching today.
