BBN, Jan 27, 2026 - The End of MAGA and the Rise of Zombie Tribalism in America
Mike Adams declares MAGA dead after Bovino’s removal and ICE’s Minneapolis shooting of unarmed Alex Predi, exposing conservatives’ shift from pro-gun principles to justifying government violence—mirroring leftist rhetoric. Rand Paul demands hearings by February 12, 2026, while Trump’s Iran gambit risks Strait of Hormuz closure, $50K+ energy spikes, and 50,000 U.S. casualties. Adams blames Netanyahu’s influence for Trump’s reckless overconfidence, warning of hyperinflation, bank failures, and societal collapse as fiat currency crumbles. Dr. Brody Miller’s recovery—seizure-free for two years via Truvaga and dopamine-balancing lifestyle changes—contrasts with MAGA’s abandoned principles, urging listeners to prioritize brain health over blind tribalism. [Automatically generated summary]
All right, welcome to Brightown Broadcast News for Tuesday, January 27th, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
And following yesterday's hard-hitting coverage of the ICE killing of an American in Minneapolis, there's already so much pushback against that that the head of, I think it's the head of, is it Border Patrol?
Yeah, Gregory Bovino, relieved of the head of Border Patrol commander at large.
So he's being removed.
Now, he's not being, you know, arrested or prosecuted, but he's being removed because his agents are out of control, running around killing Americans, right?
Tom Holman, the so-called border czar, is apparently heading to Minneapolis.
He's going to be meeting with the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey.
Is that how you pronounce it?
Of course, there's a massive ongoing fraud investigation of all the Somali fraud and the Tim Walz fraud and the Democrat fundraising campaign finance fraud.
I mean, yeah, it's a massive crime scene.
There's no question about that.
And by the way, the fraud needs to be investigated.
People need to be prosecuted.
People need to go to jail.
I'm just saying, don't shoot Americans in the process of getting that done.
That's my only point here.
Trump said that he and Governor Tim Walz had a, quote, good call.
That's funny all by itself because Tim Walz was running against Trump as the running mate with Kamala.
And Tim Walz is an incompetent crook.
No question about that.
So it seems to me that Trump is actually really feeling the heat.
I saw a survey that of the Americans who have seen the footage of that shooting, almost two-thirds of them are now completely opposed.
They say that the ICE shooting was unjustified.
And interestingly, mainstream media has latched onto this story.
Of course, only because it hurts Trump.
You know, the corporate media doesn't exist to do anything that's actually free press activity, unless it hurts Trump.
But they are running this story now.
They're doing a frame-by-frame analysis of the shooting.
And it's very clear that it was an unjustified shooting once you actually look at the video.
So more and more Americans are really unhappy with this.
And of course, Democrats are like 90% opposed to ICE even existing or something close to 90%.
Whereas Republicans are, I think, I don't know, half and half or something like maybe they support ICE as a slight majority.
I forgot the exact numbers, but it's something in that range.
So anyway, definitely heads are starting to roll.
And Senator Rand Paul has tweeted this out.
He said today, he issued a letter.
Today I call on the heads of ICE, CBP, that's customs and border protection, and USCIS to testify before the Homeland Security Committee.
So let's see, he's going to be hearing, he says, by February 12th of 2026 and provide your availability to appear, etc., etc.
And also just merely for wanting to ask them questions, Senator Rand Paul is being called a traitor by a bunch of hardcore MA people who have, of course, completely abandoned all principles at this point.
They're even attacking the Second Amendment, if you can believe that.
And they're even saying that American citizens don't have the right to film law enforcement anymore.
Like, what?
What are you talking about?
Many Days with SWAT00:03:23
It's like there's been a brain transplant of the MAGA crowd, or most of them.
They've swapped their brains with, I think, transgender zombies at this point.
And now they self-identify as MAGA, but their zombie brains are still pushing gun control, anti-Second Amendment, and anti-First Amendment propaganda.
So that's very bizarre.
I did not think that we would see that this year.
And hey, the year is only just getting started.
Now, by the way, I've written some new articles that are posted at naturalnews.com.
I think you will want to check them out.
And they are the same topics that I'm going to be covering here in my special reports tonight.
Those reports are, number one, law enforcement training principle reveals the truth, where I go through my history of firearms training with law enforcement.
So in case you don't know this about me, for two decades, I've gone through thousands of hours of training and range time and practice time with various firearms.
And along the way, I've trained with people from DHS.
I've trained with law enforcement.
I've trained with SWAT.
I know a lot of SWAT guys over the years.
Trained with sheriff's deputies, trained with Navy SEALs, other special forces, Army guys.
Who else?
Who else?
I don't know, just like random guys.
One time I trained with a guy from the UK who he flew to Texas to train on big guns that they can't own in the UK.
It was hilarious.
He was going nuts over some of my, like one of my 300 WinMag rifles.
He was like, oh my God, this is amazing.
That was, I think that was a SRS A1 bullpup bolt action rifle that I had taken out to the range.
And I made that guy's day.
He got to go home and tell his fellow Brits that he shot this 300 WinMag rifle in Texas with a real Texan.
You know, that was hilarious.
Anyway, I've trained with lots and lots of people from law enforcement.
And I know very well what they're taught about firearms and muzzle control.
And I also know that what you're being told by the Trump administration about law enforcement is a complete lie, just outright lie.
So I have a special report on that to tell you how law enforcement is actually trained.
And I know this firsthand.
Again, I'm not law enforcement, but I've been there.
I've spent many days, many days in courses with these guys.
So I've been right there.
I've been shooting right beside them, you know.
Secondly, I have a very important report about the importance of having principles in this time.
When you're seeing the dissolution of society, the collapse of everything, the collapse of everything, the collapse of reality, really, it is critical to have principles, to anchor your actions and your understanding of events into core principles.
The Importance of Principles00:05:24
Now, some people get those principles from spiritual training or from a church.
Other people get principles.
They develop them themselves or they derive them from nature or from a direct relationship with our creator or a number of different ways.
Some people get them from their parents, etc.
But what I've noticed, what's happening is that the vast majority of both MA conservatives and Christians are now abandoning their principles to support government violence against Americans.
And that's very concerning.
So I've got a special report on that.
And I think at this point, MAGA, MAGA is gone.
You know, MA has crumbled.
There is no more MAGA because the tribalists who are pushing the MAGA mantra today, they have completely abandoned the very things that MAGA first espoused, such as small government and the right to privacy and the right to protest and the right to carry a firearm peacefully at a protest, etc.
All these things, every one of them, have been utterly abandoned, if not denounced, by MAGA now.
So it's like, well, what are you?
You know, if you take on a label and then for eight years, you defend that label in a certain set of principles.
And then when Trump becomes president, within one year, you completely contradict all those principles, then what are you?
Well, you're not MAGA, and MAGA's dead.
MAGA's done.
And what's replacing MAGA is just raw tribalism.
That's all we have now, for the most part.
I like to think, though, that you listening to this, if you're like I am, you know, we are the, we're the last remnant of critical thinkers.
You know, we're the people who still have actual principles and values, and we're not suckers for political movements or just herd mentality.
We don't just go along with anything.
We think critically.
We ask questions.
We use reason and rationality combined with core principles, which are rooted in a pro-human philosophy, by the way, a pro-life philosophy for all living creatures on this planet.
I hope you share that with me.
I think you do.
But that's not where most people are coming from.
The vast majority of people are coming from a place of raw, mindless tribalism.
And it's kind of like the professional sports rendition of politics.
You know, it's like football fans when they get really, really crazy about their football team.
And I don't really know who the football teams are, except I do know the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suck.
That's the one thing I know.
I mean, I remember some of the team names when I was young.
You know, the Chicago Bears, for example, the L.A. Raiders, you know, I don't even know if that's, they probably don't even exist anymore.
The Miami Dolphins, right?
But when people get crazy about their football teams and then football becomes their whole life, we won, we won, you know, and they're out there in the streets and their whole life revolves around whether the team won or lost that day or all the statistics, how many yards, how many runs, how many plays, how many passes, how many fumbles, blah, blah, blah.
That's obsessive tribalism in sports.
Well, people are doing that now in politics.
That's what a lot of MAGA has become.
It's this weird kind of obedient worship of everything that the Trump administration does is the perfect thing because it's our team.
We won.
An American was shot dead after he was disarmed and he was just carrying a pistol in his holster.
He was shot dead by ICE.
And then a lot of MAGA people say, we won.
Yeah, we got him.
Why?
Because he's a leftist.
He's a leftist.
He was blowing whistles and filming ice with a phone.
So that kind of attitude, oh, we won.
We got him.
We got him.
We killed him.
That kind of attitude, that leads to the downfall of society because those people are morons.
God help us if those people control anything because they have no principles.
They have no obedience to the rule of law.
They don't even understand the law.
They don't care about the law.
They're just tribalists.
So we've devolved into gangsta politics where it's just one gang is doing a drive-by shooting of another gang.
Except in this case, the drive-by shooting is carried out by ICE.
Silver Market Seizing Up00:11:22
It's just gang members with a badge.
Not even a badge that you can see.
You can't even tell who it is.
There's no badge number.
There's no name.
There's no accountability.
So it's like gangster secret police that can just shoot you and never have any accountability at all.
And obviously that's a very dangerous situation for our country, but that's where we are right now.
So I've recorded these two special reports to discuss these two topics.
Number one, law enforcement training principles.
And then second, the importance of having principles in a chaotic world.
You know, I've also got a really good interview for you here today with Dr. Brody Miller.
It's an interview with a man who became an addict and then later on he became a naturopath.
But he in learning how to overcome his substance abuse problems.
And I mean, he had major substance abuse and then he had he was in a physical altercation, suffered extreme brain damage and ended up with seizures for years, grand mall seizures.
Anyway, he'll tell you his story in the interview, but his journey of healing and recovery really speaks to the ability of humanity to heal and the ability to gain knowledge and use it to help yourself heal.
His name is Dr. Brody Miller, and he's an author of a book that we'll talk about in the interview.
And also he's the co-creator of a really nice program that's available at rangerdeals.com, which I'll talk about later.
But that interview is coming up.
So I've got all that coming up for you here today.
But I want to start with a special report about the financial situation happening in America and the actual collapse of the dollar compared to other currencies.
So let's go to that right now.
Here we go.
So there's an account on X called Bar Chart that put out a chart, very useful chart, showing that the U.S. dollar compared to other fiat currencies has lost more than 10% of its value in just the last 12 months.
And this chart, which is the US dollar index, some people call it the Dixie.
The Dixie is flashing red alert here.
So the dollar is absolutely collapsing compared to other currencies around the world, which, you know, maybe Trump wants that in order to boost U.S. exports.
But here's the thing.
All fiat currencies are losing value rapidly compared to gold and silver.
So in the basket of currencies, all of which are plummeting in actual purchasing power compared to metals, the dollar is losing even more than the other currencies.
So the dollar is sort of double losing.
And this is not going to end well.
See, here at the same time that the dollar has lost 10% of its value versus other currencies, we're seeing extraordinary increases in the dollar value of gold and silver, but also extreme volatility.
Now, something really bizarre happened in the silver market over the last 24 hours, something that none of us have ever witnessed before, not in our lifetimes.
I don't know if we're going to see this again, but silver opened up at about, I don't know, $107 or so in the U.S. market, and then it skyrocketed to $117.
I mean, it went up almost 10% within a matter of several hours.
And then it cratered.
It cratered down to about 103.
And that was at the close then of the U.S. market.
And I mean, it looked like a mini crash.
I mean, I've never seen it go from 117 to 103 or even percentage-wise that fast, except I don't even think in the aftermath of the 1980 Hunt brothers attempt to corner the silver market.
And that's got nothing to do with what's happening today.
So then in the overnight Asian markets, it opened up at the 103 or so and started skyrocketing with some very strange behavior.
And it went over 110.
It hit 111.
And as I'm recording this, it's around 108.
But in the Shanghai market, it's $124.
So something extremely, dare I say, black swannish.
Yeah, it's like the black swans are lining up.
We're talking about the kind of events that we would normally never see in a lifetime that are happening now on a regular basis in the metals markets.
And it's not clear to me.
I've heard a lot of experts.
I've talked to a lot of experts.
We know who the players are.
We know JP Morgan's got hundreds of millions of ounces of silver.
We know China needs silver for industry.
We know what's happening with Comex markets.
We know roughly what's happening with the LBMA, etc.
And India's demand for silver, silver mining.
I mean, I've assessed the whole situation as best I can, at least from a big picture point of view.
It's not clear to me which factions are driving this price action.
I do believe that Trump and his administration are trying to destroy the city of London.
And that's one of the things that's happening here.
And I agree with that.
I think that's one of the more noble causes that should be pursued in the world right now for the benefit of humankind.
And Trump is pursuing that to his credit.
But I don't think that Trump is damaging China in this process.
Yes, China needs the silver and they're having to pay a lot more for the silver, but China's manufacturing and industry provides a tremendous amount of value added to the silver.
It's not like they're just buying and selling commodities.
They're buying silver and using a tiny amount of it in other electronics or batteries or solar panels or medical equipment, etc.
And adding tremendous value to the silver in the final product.
So these sky-high silver prices don't destroy China.
They will destroy a lot of Western banks that are still, for whatever reason, they're still holding a lot of silver shorts.
Anybody still holding silver shorts is going to get destroyed.
You know, like face ripped off level of financial destruction is coming for those banks or financial institutions that are still holding silver shorts.
That is, if they're uncovered shorts.
Now, I know that many institutions will have shorts and then they'll have long bets at the same time, you know, various strategies with options.
And their net risk may be a lot less than just the short side, obviously.
But I'm saying if they are net short, they're in trouble right now.
Because as far as I can tell, this is just going to keep on going.
And then you've got this whole group of people.
I talked about them yesterday, people who I think are kind of low IQ people who are selling every piece of silver they can find right now because they think this is the top of the silver market.
That's probably a horrible decision.
But because of that, the silver market is seizing up right now.
The dealers don't want to take in any more physical silver right now.
Too many people are trying to sell too much junk that's hard to manage.
It all has to be refined or a lot of it does in order to turn it into something usable.
So the silver dealers and retailers are not offering even, they're not offering spot.
They're offering discounts below spot.
But for a lot of people, they don't care.
Maybe they bought silver when it was 18.
They bought some random weird coins or something, some collector's coins.
And then silver became $110.
And if the dealer says, well, I'm only going to give you $85 for this, the person's like, yeah, I'll take it.
That's still a huge gain.
So a lot of that is happening right now.
And actually, you know what?
I'm sitting on some coins like that too, that I bought off of a veteran a few years ago who actually needed some cash.
And he was wondering if I would buy his silver.
And they were a bunch of veterans coins, you know.
So I'm like, I remember I said, are you sure you want to part with your silver?
Because, you know, I think silver is a good thing to hold on to.
But he said, no, I need to, I need to travel and I need the cash and I can't take all this silver with me.
So what am I going to do with it?
It's like, you know, will you buy it from me?
And I did.
So I gave him cash and I'm still sitting on that silver.
And now that silver is worth five times as much or no, more than that.
But, you know, that's how this works.
So anyway, I've got coins like that too that really don't have any value over spot at all.
Nobody's going to look at these coins and say, oh, that's a collector's edition.
No.
They're going to say, yeah, we don't even want that stuff right now because it's going to have to go to the refiner.
And the refiners are backed up four months.
Well, it depends on the refiner, but some of them are four months.
So anyway, the whole silver market is seizing up.
Now, the fact that the currency, the dollar, is collapsing, combined with the metals markets exploding, combined with the fact that it seems like President Trump is preparing to attack Iran and with an understanding that the number one weapon that Iran could unleash is the forced closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Although, just to be clear, some people don't think Iran would do that, but rather, I think Michael Yan, for example, told me that the U.S. Navy would close it, would mine it, and then blame Iran.
Iran's Nuclear Threat00:15:02
That's a possibility.
But if it happens, it means that a very significant portion of the world's energy supply is going to be cut off.
That's going to be devastating for Europe in particular, but also a lot of other nations, and it's going to cause energy prices to absolutely skyrocket.
So that could happen.
It could happen very quickly.
But other things could happen as well, such as the fact that Iran has been receiving a lot of weapon shipments from China and a lot of technical expertise from Russia.
And Iran has stated that if they are attacked, this time they will not hold back.
It won't be limited to a 12-day war.
That this time they're going to unleash everything against America, against the U.S. Navy, against U.S. bases throughout the Persian Gulf region.
And there are many bases there, including a very important command base there for naval forces.
And Iran says it's going to destroy Israel.
Now, Iran has gained a lot of missile technology since last summer, you know, acquired from either China or Russia, but also some level of domestic development.
I think it's also very likely that Iran has a nuclear weapon mounted on a ballistic missile ready to go.
And they have a new ballistic missile that has a range long enough to reach Washington, D.C. Iran, from their point of view, they would be crazy not to have nuclear weapons, actually, because constantly being attacked by Israel and the United States, with people like Senator Flimsey Graham always trying to say we have to destroy Iran, overthrow the regime.
And, you know, the CIA and Mossad ran all the recent protests and the instigations of violence, etc.
Those were all foreign operations happening inside Iran.
So all of this has everything to do with what's happening with the dollar, with metals, with oil and energy, and with the big picture financially globally.
If this war kicks off with Iran and it really looks likely to happen within a few days, then it's going to send gold and silver skyrocketing, skyrocketing.
And all those people who just sold their silver to the retailers are going to wish that they had waited.
They're going to want it back.
Can I have it back?
Because it's going to go up significantly.
And then energy prices are going to skyrocket.
Gas pump prices will start moving up the very next day, even before the more expensive oil makes it through the supply chain.
You know how the gas stations, they'll use any excuse to hike the price.
You know, it's like, oh, war with Iran.
They'll bump it up, you know, 20 cents or whatever.
They'll do that.
Of course they will.
And then there's now the very real possibility that the United States military has vastly underestimated the response capabilities of Iran involving ballistic missiles that can strike U.S. naval vessels and either damage or sink them.
Now, I do want to be clear.
I understand that the United States military can unleash devastating damage onto Iran with the combination of cruise missiles and bombers and just the whole assortment of everything that the U.S.
Can unleash from aircraft, carriers and ships in the region and stealth bombers that are probably parked on the Diego Garcia Island there in the Indian Ocean, right?
So we're talking about a devastating initial wave of destruction on Iran.
Many of Iran's cities will be burning.
And the U.S. will probably, you know, slaughter Gaza-style, maybe tens of thousands of Iranians in that first wave of attack.
So I'm not trying to say the U.S. is incapable of attacking Iran.
I think the U.S. is very capable of dishing out a lot of damage.
But then Iran is going to retaliate.
And Iran has underground bases, underground missile launch facilities, even underground airports or runways where they can launch planes out of that that really can't be touched by any kind of surface bombing, anything short of nuclear weapons by the U.S.
So Iran is going to be able to unleash a devastating response.
And this response is probably, I mean, according to reports, Iran has, although look, the numbers are very, very sketchy, but Iran could have 100,000 missiles, let's say, of various sizes and with various ranges, etc.
But many of those missiles, and they've got a whole class of missiles that is designed to optically target U.S. naval vessels by latching onto an infrared signature.
And so they can't be confused by GPS jamming or typical electronic warfare measures.
These missiles will probably hit U.S. naval vessels in the Indian Ocean or wherever they are, the Sea of Oman or the Persian Gulf area or wherever they happen to be.
Probably U.S. naval vessels will be hit.
If a U.S. aircraft carrier gets hit and if the tarmac is sufficiently damaged, then it becomes useless and it has to withdraw from the area.
If that happens, I predict that gold, silver, and oil are going to skyrocket again.
Or if a U.S. aircraft carrier is sunk, which is unlikely, but it's within the realm of possibilities here.
But if that were to happen, that would be A world-changing event that would not be pretty for the American people because that right there would destroy faith in the U.S. currency and the ability of the U.S. military to project power.
It would make Trump look like an idiot, and Hegseth would look like a fool, and the $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon would seem like a total waste into a giant black hole of fraud and corruption and technological incompetence.
It's like what?
You can't even keep your ships floating.
So, if there's a sinking of a U.S. aircraft carrier, also remember, there's 5,000 U.S. sailors on board.
Not all of them can swim.
Believe it or not, not everybody in the Navy can swim.
That's true.
Because they're not Navy SEALs, okay?
They're Navy cooks or radar operators or whatever.
Not all of them can swim, just to be clear.
And a lot of them are not even in good enough shape to swim if they had to.
Now, they might float, but they can't swim.
There's a difference.
So there's going to be some level of severe casualties if a ship goes down like that.
Could be thousands.
And on top of that, the U.S. military bases in the region, the last time I checked the numbers, there were over 50,000 U.S. troops stationed at these bases all around the Persian Gulf.
These bases, Iran has already promised to hit these bases if Iran is attacked by the United States, which seems imminent.
If Iran hits those bases hard, you're looking at probably thousands of additional casualties of U.S. troops.
And then, if that were to happen, then you're going to see mass protests across the United States.
No longer protests against ICE.
It's going to be protests against the war because thousands of soldiers are dead.
You see, then everything changes dramatically.
And then Trump would end up having to use his domestic police force, the military on the streets, to quell the citizen uprising against the war.
And if you thought Kent State was bad, or if you thought the shooting of Alex Predty in Minneapolis, if you thought that was bad, that's nothing.
We'll probably see U.S. military waging massacres of American citizens on the streets of major U.S. cities, probably killing hundreds of thousands of Americans domestically, in addition to the deaths of the soldiers overseas, because Trump's not backing down.
That's very clear.
And most of MAGA completely agrees with Trump.
Just kill them all, you know, shoot them all.
That's what they say.
Anybody who protests deserves to be shot.
That's the new mantra of MAGA.
So as you can see, this is not going to shape up to be a pretty situation.
I mean, sorry to use the word pretty because of its resemblance to Alex Predi.
I didn't mean that on purpose.
What I mean is not going to be, it's not going to be a situation that anybody wants to witness.
It's going to be a nightmare scenario of international warfare, international financial collapse of the dollar and Western currencies, spiking energy prices, and domestic revolt, all happening at the same time.
All because Trump is taking orders from Netanyahu and Senator Lindsey Graham and others who have it out for Iran.
They just want to bomb Iran.
And they make up excuses for why.
Oh, Iran treats its protesters horribly.
That's why we have to bomb them.
Seems like the U.S. treats protesters pretty horribly too, because since they're shooting them.
So does that mean that Trump agrees that some other country has the right to bomb America because America shoots its own protesters?
Right?
So that's, I mean, it's just an excuse that Trump is using to attack Iran, which is really, that's an order coming from Netanyahu, who controls the entire Trump administration.
That's very clear.
And Iran is the last big target standing after, what, six out of seven of the original targets have been destroyed or overthrown from Syria to, you know, Libya and Iraq and so on.
Remember, there were seven?
Well, Iran is the seventh.
And Iran, though, is probably where this whole thing stops because I don't think that Iran can be easily defeated.
Iran is a massively large country in terms of territory.
It has, I think, 90 million people there.
The people of Iran are fiercely loyal to their own culture, proud Persians, you could say.
And even if they don't agree with their current government that's in power, and not all of them do, they still, they would pull together if they were being collectively attacked by a foreign enemy.
So in other words, if Trump were to attack Iran, he would only be making the existing government there stronger with more loyalty from its own citizens.
And the Iranian people would band together and they would endure hardship and they would pull through.
And frankly, unless Trump thinks he's going to put millions of troops on the ground, which is not possible, there's no way.
There's no way to defeat Iran just from bombing alone.
It doesn't work.
It just flat out doesn't work.
You can bomb and bomb and bomb.
They just keep coming back.
Ask the dudes in Yemen.
Trump bombed the smithereens out of the Yemenis and they just rose right back up.
We're back.
You know?
We're going to launch more missiles at you.
They're back.
You couldn't destroy Yemen.
And Yemen's a fraction of the size of Iran.
So I don't know how the U.S. thinks it's, oh, and by the way, Yemen already destroyed some fighter jets off the aircraft carriers.
We were told that, no, those aircraft, what were they, F-18 Hornets or something?
We were told they rolled off the side of the aircraft carrier because the aircraft carrier had to turn sharply.
And when it turned sharply, the airplane slid off the edge of the deck.
Like, what are we?
Five years old here?
These are cartoon explanations from the Pentagon.
Oh, yeah, we had to turn the ship really sharply and then the planes rolled off.
Do you think we're stupid?
No, those planes were shot down by Yemen, by the Yemenis with the anti-aircraft missiles.
Come on.
I mean, of course, we're going to be told a bunch of made-up stories from the establishment because they can never admit that U.S. weapons don't always work very well.
And sometimes our aircraft get shot out of the sky.
We're always told, oh, it's a training mission mishap.
And anytime a U.S. soldier dies overseas, we're told, oh, they died in a car crash, drive into town or whatever.
It's always a cover story.
But I don't know how the Pentagon is going to cover up the deaths of thousands of soldiers or the sinking of an aircraft carrier.
Or what happens if Russia gets involved here, which at this point, what do they have to lose?
It's not like the U.S. could put more sanctions on Russia.
Russia could just say, we're going to punch holes through your aircraft carrier with Orechnik missiles.
Punch Holes Through Empires00:11:02
You know, like Mach 20 re-entry vehicles moving at Mach 20 from low Earth orbit, unstoppable, punching 36 holes through an aircraft carrier, top to bottom, all the way through the hole into the ocean underneath.
36 holes, or let's say probably they wouldn't all hit, but you know, let's say five holes, five giant holes punched through an aircraft carrier.
How's it going to do?
Yeah, it's probably not going home.
It's probably going to become, you know, it's probably going to be a tourist attraction for deep sea divers a few years later.
Hey, check out this thing used to be an American aircraft carrier that had 5,000 sailors and, you know, a couple thousand of them got out.
The rest are still down there.
That is within the realm of possibility of where this is headed.
So don't be naive about the risk factors that are in play right now or how easily things could go wrong or how quickly the world could change, how quickly energy prices could skyrocket, even more than they have already, even though natural gas has skyrocketed, what, almost 100% because of this cold storm that's still in place.
And yeah, it's freezing.
I'm burning diesel heaters here.
Keep my animals warm.
It's freaking cold.
And this is Texas.
Shouldn't be this cold here.
Fortunately, our power grid seems to be holding together right now.
And that's to the credit of a lot of engineers in the power grid system.
But things could change very quickly in the middle of world war.
Things could change financially.
They could change in terms of civil revolts, domestic unrest, and international problems, you name it, bank failures, you know, U.S. military personnel coming home in body bags, if they could even find them, fish them out of the sea.
You know, there are a lot of things that could go wrong from here.
And Trump is just pushing the envelope at the behest of Netanyahu.
Trump's pushing it.
And he's, in my assessment, I think Trump is overconfident.
I think he is not well informed because I think his advisors lie to him and tell him that the American military is unbeatable and it isn't.
And they tell him what he wants to hear.
Oh, we're the best.
We're the most powerful.
Nobody can stop us.
Look what we can do.
And, you know, maybe that's true when you're extracting Maduro from Venezuela and there's only 30 or 40 guys in the way.
That's not true when you're talking about a country of 90 million people.
That's not true.
So I think that Trump is going to run into a hard no from Iran.
And then that's going to be joined by another hard no from Russia and China.
And we're going to end up in World War.
Trade war, kinetic war, every kind of war you could imagine at the same time.
You know, countries selling off U.S. treasuries, dumping them on the market, crashing the U.S. Treasury market, which is already happening in Japan, by the way, for different reasons.
And then missiles taking out U.S. naval vessels, thousands of casualties of U.S. soldiers that are at these bases in the Middle East, probably being kept there as bait.
Domestic chaos, uprising, U.S. troops shooting more Americans on the streets, massacres, blood running in the streets of Chicago and other cities.
Yeah, this could all happen in 30 days.
So be ready.
Be ready.
I mean, it could happen even faster than that.
Frankly, it could happen.
It could happen in just a matter of days, but we have to hope and pray that that's not the case.
So make sure that you are prepared for the unexpected this year and that you're ready for anything.
Lots of curveballs, lots of black swans, lots of horrific events coming our way.
And unfortunately, our nation is currently run by a president who I think is over, again, overconfident in the ability of the military, who is dedicated to mass money printing and currency collapse, ultimately hyperinflation, etc.
And deploying the military on the streets under martial law and the Insurrection Act.
All of that's coming.
And think about it too.
When food gets so expensive that you start having food riots, then the question becomes, will MAGA support the military shooting starving Americans who are protesting because they can't afford to eat?
And I think the answer is yes.
I think the answer is that MAGA, that is the Trump supporting MAGA group, they will absolutely support killing starving Americans because they'll say they're terrorists.
They'll say that they're left-wing starving Americans and thus they all had to be shot.
So this is going to collapse very quickly into some kind of horrific dark history chapter of end of empire.
And probably Donald Trump will go down in history as the most cruel and most failed president and most corrupt president in the history of this country is probably where this is going.
But I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe he'll turn it around and it'll be a new golden age.
But I doubt it.
The only thing that's golden right now is the people who are close to Trump.
You know, the big tech deal makers, big pharma leaders, Trump's family members, all the, you know, the Howard Lutnicks of the world and Scott Besant and Tether and all the people who are close to Trump, it's a golden age for them.
The American people themselves, they can't afford to eat.
They can't afford rent.
They're not going to be able to afford their power bills this month.
They're growing increasingly desperate.
And the clash of those two groups is probably coming and it's going to be ugly.
So be prepared, folks.
Be prepared.
Make sure that you sign up for the Marjorie Wildcraft Wartime Homefront Essential Skills Free Docu Series that begins this Saturday, by the way.
That's at brightu.com.
That's the word Bright, followed by the letter you, brightu.com.
That's like Brighteon University, basically shortened.
BrightU.com.
You can sign up there.
You can watch the whole series for free beginning this Saturday, or you can purchase it for free and download it now and start watching it immediately.
It teaches you how to get prepared for domestic warfare, which is coming.
Your cities are going to burn, you know, and you're going to have to have some of your own food supply.
Otherwise, you're going to starve the way this is going.
All right, so be prepared, pray for peace, but prepare for bad times.
And thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here of naturalnews.com and brighteont.com.
Take care.
All right, now, a reminder of what's coming up here today.
We've got an interview with Dr. Brodie Miller, which I think you'll find that very useful if you're struggling with anything involving your brain.
Behavior issues, addictions, habits you want to overcome, dark moods.
A lot of people are having dark moods right now.
That's kind of understandable.
We're in a dark place in history.
But stay tuned for that full interview with Dr. Brodie Miller, who is a naturopath.
I've got two special reports coming up for you here.
Like I mentioned earlier, I've got the law enforcement training principles report and then the report about MAGA conservatives abandoning their principles.
So both of those special reports coming up.
And I really want, I want America to do well.
I want America to be a land of peace and opportunity and civil rights and the rule of law.
It's nothing like that now.
Can we restore it?
I don't know.
I kind of doubt it, but I'm certain that the current path that we're on is not the way to restore it.
Seems like it's getting worse.
Seems like things are devolving into more chaos and more violence and more poverty quite rapidly.
So I don't think we're on the right path here.
But again, I really don't have much faith that there's any saving America as we know it.
It's probably going to have to collapse and then there can be a rebuilding effort on the other side.
And maybe in that rebuilding effort, then there's an opportunity to restore, you know, civilization based on meritocracy and so on.
But right now, I believe the current system is too bloated, too corrupt.
There's too much free money floating around.
Until the currency collapses, there's no way to save America, actually.
If you think about it, as long as they can just keep printing dollars, then all the evil persists.
People will become impoverished.
Food will become more expensive.
Hyperinflation will worsen.
And they're just going to keep printing and printing and printing until there's a final blowout, like a Weimar Germany blowout of hyperinflation, mass destitution, probably leading to war, obviously, if war hasn't already started by that time.
So the situation is pretty dire.
I'm not trying to give you bad news here.
I'm just trying to tell you what I think is coming.
And I want you to be as prepared as you can.
And that's why I'm recording these special reports for you.
As part of your preparedness, by the way, make sure you've got your food stockpiles and we can help you with that.
Special Responsibilities in Law Enforcement00:15:28
HealthRangerStore.com is where you can get lab-tested food that is pristine, that is packed for long-term storage.
And, you know, we don't use cardboard in the Ranger buckets.
It's in these vacuum bricks inside rugged polyethylene buckets.
It's weatherproof and mostly rodent proof, unless your rodents are bears or something.
I don't know, maybe a clever raccoon could eventually get through one of these, but yeah, it would still take a lot of work.
These are the solutions that can really help you get prepared.
So visit us at healthrangerstore.com.
And we've got nutritional supplements, high-end, black cumin seed, turmeric.
They're all very popular.
We've got lab-tested collagen.
Unlike some of the dirtier collagen that's out there, ours is all lab-tested.
And you know, we test for glyphosate and atrazine and heavy metals and yeast and mold and aflatoxins, many other things.
So you're not going to find more lab testing on any food or supplements or personal care products anywhere in the world.
And also this week I am filming later this week.
I'm filming a new tour of the lab to show you the new setup there.
I think you'll really appreciate that.
I'll bring you that video early next week, maybe Monday.
So watch for that.
In the meantime, thank you for supporting us at healthrangerstore.com.
All right.
I'm going to jump into the two special reports followed by today's feature interview.
So enjoy the rest of the show.
Pray for America.
And I'll be back with you tomorrow.
Take care.
Okay, welcome to this analysis of the ICE shooting of Alex Predi in Minneapolis.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me.
I'm already on the record saying that I believe this was an ICE execution of Alex Predi.
However, got a lot of pushback on that from certain quarters and certain people.
It currently seems that about 75% of Trump's support base believes the shooting was justified.
25% believe it was not.
I am in that 25% camp, but I am always willing to listen and learn.
So I've heard lots of arguments from many very competent people.
I'll name some of them here.
And I'm here to tell you that they're all wrong.
And soon you will know exactly why all their arguments are wrong.
Even former law enforcement, their arguments are completely wrong.
So let me explain why.
It's actually very simple.
So number one, you may or may not know my background.
So although I've never been law enforcement, of course, and I'm not a former military, I'm a very accomplished self-defense firearms practitioner, let's say.
I have gone through thousands of hours of training and range work and practice, thousands of hours.
And I have trained with Navy SEALs.
I've trained with special forces.
I've trained with SWAT.
I've trained with cops.
I've trained with sheriffs.
I've trained with DHS agents.
I mean, not officially, but I mean, they're agents taking gun courses on the side, rifle courses, long-range shooting courses, etc.
I know these guys.
I mean, I know exactly the kind of guys that these guys are.
The ICE guys.
I know who they are.
I mean, I can practically tell you their names, you know?
I mean, I don't know those specific people, but I mean, just in general, I know who they are.
And overall, they're not guys that are evil people.
They don't have a bad intent.
But that doesn't mean that this shooting wasn't a bad shooting.
So let me explain something.
In all the thousands of hours of training, and remember, I've done lots of pistol training.
I've done rifle training.
I've done long-range shooting training, et cetera, et cetera.
Shotgun training, not so much on the shotgun side because it's kind of boring, but I've done lots of training.
The number one thing that every instructor tells you is that you are responsible for every round that leaves the barrel of your firearm.
Every instructor says this, and they're right, because guns don't kill people, okay?
Only people pulling the trigger kill people.
So when we are being told right now that out of this shooting in Minneapolis, here's what we're being told by a lot of conservatives right now.
We're being told that, well, an ICE agent took the SIG P320 out of the holster of Alex Predi while he was on the ground kneeling on his knees, having his face smashed in, pistol whipped by another ICE agent.
Okay.
So this one ICE agent took the pistol out, was walking away, and then we're told that there was an accidental discharge of this SIG P320.
And there's some video evidence that where that might actually be the case.
If so, that pistol shot into the pavement because we've all seen the video frames of that, shot into the pavement.
And then we're told that because of that shot, that the other ICE agent that had his pistol pointed at the back of Alex Predty, that he believed that Alex had shot, and thus he opened up and shot Alex multiple times.
Okay?
That's what we're told.
So in essence, we're told that the shooting was caused by the SIG P320 accidentally discharging.
Well, that's a left-wing anti-gun argument that guns kill people, isn't it?
You see what I mean?
That is not a valid argument.
And anyone making that argument just isn't well informed.
That's not a valid argument.
Because that gun, the SIG P320, that didn't strike anybody.
That hit the pavement.
The person who shot Alex Predi was an ICE agent, an ICE agent who heard a gunshot, and then he opened fire on the man in front of him who did not have a gun.
All right.
So those are all facts.
Those are facts.
That is, if you assume that there was an accidental discharge of the P320 that was taken away from Alex Predty a few seconds earlier.
Okay, if you have that assumption, then it is a fact that that ICE agent opened up on Alex Predi right in front of him, even though Alex Predty did not take that shot and did not have a firearm.
Right there.
That's the end of the debate.
It's a bad shooting right there.
Every court of law would hold this up because if you're law enforcement, you can only shoot somebody when there is an imminent threat of serious injury or physical harm to yourself, typically involving an assailant with a weapon.
So if Alex Predi had been trying to thrust a knife at that ICE agent, or if Alex Predi had another gun, which he did not have, and was using that gun to try to shoot the ICE agent, then the ICE agent clearly would have been justified in this shooting.
But none of that occurred.
The ICE agent, we don't know who it is, he shot an unarmed man.
Now, so that completely destroys the argument that, well, the gun went off and that caused the shooting.
No, again, that's a left-wing argument that guns kill people.
All of us in the pro-Second Amendment community, we laugh at those arguments.
Guns don't kill people.
I famously did a video years ago of I had an AR-style weapon.
It was an ACR actually, on the ground waving a magic wand over it saying, you know, shoot, shoot.
And it would never shoot.
until I pulled the trigger.
I mean, Alex Jones played that video on InfoWars.
That was back in like 2011 or something.
It was funny because we were mocking leftists who say that guns kill people.
Well, now that argument has been taken up by people on the right, that guns kill people.
It's absurd.
So back to principle number one.
And any of you listening, if you are in law enforcement or if you are a veteran or SWAT or whatever, you know you are responsible for every round that leaves the muzzle of your weapon.
You are responsible for it and no one else.
And if that round ends up killing a person, especially an American citizen who's unarmed, you're in trouble because that's a bad shooting.
And you might be criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted.
You might be arrested, lose your job, all kinds of horrible things can happen to you.
Every cop knows that.
You're responsible for every round.
All right, the second argument that I hear from people like Jack Poseobic, who's clearly just pushing the deep state narrative on all of this, and he's, you know, a Navy, naval intelligence officer tied to the CIA.
Everybody knows that.
Jack Poseobic is saying, well, when you, as a civilian, when you bring a firearm to an area where there are law enforcement, you have a special responsibility in your behavior because you are carrying a firearm.
Well, yeah, but he leaves out the most important part of that.
Law enforcement has the highest responsibility legally in every court of law.
Law enforcement's held to a higher standard of restraint with firearms compared to civilians.
So in other words, self-defense shootings that take place involving a civilian, you know, a non-law enforcement person that shoots somebody in self-defense, they are given more leeway in the courts compared to law enforcement because the courts assume that, number one, law enforcement have had more training than a typical civilian, which is generally true, but not always.
And secondly, that law enforcement is aware of the boundaries of law.
And thirdly, that law enforcement is there to protect the public good, even if it means putting their own lives on the line in defense of someone else.
Whereas on the civilian side, the courts see civilians as rightfully putting their own self-protection as the highest priority because they are not employed by the city or the county or the government.
So there's a very clear distinction here that, and anybody like Jack Pesobic saying that, well, civilians have special responsibilities when they carry firearms.
Yes, that's true.
But you're forgetting the far more important part.
Law enforcement have a much higher standard of special responsibilities when they carry and deploy firearms.
And when law enforcement pulls out a firearm and aims it at a civilian, now they are at an extremely high standard of what they decide to do from that point forward.
And if that law enforcement officer shoots an unarmed civilian who did not pose an imminent threat to their safety, that's a bad shooting.
And that's exactly what happened here.
This is a bad shooting.
And by bad, what I mean is it's an illegitimate shooting.
And at the very least, that officer who carried out that shooting should be investigated, possibly prosecuted, depending on the circumstances.
And by the way, it's not actually an excuse to say, well, he didn't know that Alex Predi was disarmed.
He didn't know that.
He wasn't aware of that.
Because I hear that excuse from a lot of conservative influencers right now that he didn't know.
Well, did he see Alex Predty with a gun in his hand?
No.
Because there wasn't one.
Did he see Alex Predty with a knife in his hand?
Nope.
Because there wasn't one.
In other words, the actual shooter, the ICE agent that took the shot, did not have a legal justification to take the shot because he did not observe any imminent threat to his life posed by Alex Predty, who was on the ground on his knees and was being subdued by numerous other ICE agents.
So by any reasonable standard in a court of law, and those of you who are attorneys, you will confirm this, I'm sure.
The ICE agent had no legal justification to shoot Alex Predty, even if another round had gone off behind him.
Just because some other firearm went off doesn't give you the right as federal law enforcement to shoot or execute an unarmed American on his knees in front of you.
It doesn't work that way.
So when I hear conservatives out there that are saying this is a justified shooting, I know, number one, they don't have hardly any firearms training.
Number two, they're not aware of the rule of law.
Number three, they don't seem to have any understanding of law enforcement and the special responsibilities that they have.
And then, oh, and by the way, I would remind you, I have been granted concealed carry permits in four U.S. states, you know, in addition to all the thousands of hours of training and practice and range time, et cetera.
Four U.S. states.
And I've passed all the FBI background checks.
I have, you know, not only concealed carry, but I have suppressors.
And I just use that so I don't bother my neighbors when I'm sighting in my rifles on my ranch.
I don't want to wake up everybody from miles around, you know, so I'm polite.
I use suppressors.
So I've passed all the background checks.
And when I took all these concealed carry classes, including in one state was Oregon.
That was a multi-day course, by the way.
When I got concealed carry originally, they were much more comprehensive courses than they are now.
I know now in a lot of conservative states, the concealed carry course is kind of a joke.
You get like four hours of legal instruction and then they make sure you can hit a piece of paper at 10 feet away or something.
Back then, it was much more complex.
It was several days.
As I remember, at least one whole day was dedicated to law.
Keep Your Ass Out of Court00:08:31
And primarily, it was dedicated to how you need to keep your ass out of a civil lawsuit by not being a trigger-happy civilian who just opens fire on people because you don't like them or something.
You know, it was the emphasis of the course was if you ever shoot anybody in self-defense, you're going to get dragged into court.
You might be criminally prosecuted, depending on the DA, you're for sure going to be civilly prosecuted by the surviving family members, etc.
So you better not be trigger happy.
you should probably, if you can, you know, leave or something instead of having to shoot someone in self-defense.
But we covered the rule of law.
And in the other courses I've been in, there have been a lot of specific instructions given for law enforcement who were my classmates in some of these courses.
So I'm not saying that I'm an attorney.
I'm not.
And I'm not law enforcement.
But apparently I know the laws of law enforcement's use of force better than most conservatives, clearly.
Because anybody who thinks this shooting is justified is simply uninformed.
It's clearly not justified.
Now, the other thing that I've heard from a lot of people is to say, well, he was impeding traffic or he was interfering in official government business.
And this is coming from conservatives who are MAGA.
And I tweeted out, I said, oh, wait, just wait until the MAGA of January 6th, 2021 hears about what MAGA just said in January of 2026.
Because according to today's MAGA, the MAGA of J6 should have all been shot and killed by federal agents because they were interfering with official government business, weren't they?
They were there to protest the stolen rigged election, which was stolen.
It was rigged.
And they were impeding traffic, weren't they?
Yeah, they were impeding foot traffic or they were impeding vehicle traffic because it was like a million people there.
They were impeding traffic.
So according to today's MAGA standards, all those MAGA people should have been, I guess, just massacred by federal agents, which tells you the double standard that we're dealing with here and how insane the hypocrisy has become.
I've also heard people say things like, well, Alex Predty didn't have his ID on him.
And it's a law that if you conceal carry, you have to have your ID.
So therefore, he was a criminal and a terrorist and he deserved to be shot.
Well, that argument makes no sense whatsoever.
The actual fine for not carrying your ID is like a $25 fine in Minnesota.
Secondly, people like Jack Pesobic himself had previously tweeted out that all gun laws are unconstitutional.
And we all know that the Second Amendment applies to every American in every state in every circumstance.
So those people saying, well, he should have had his ID with him.
Are you now pro-police state?
Are you now show me your papers?
Because that's what a lot of conservatives have turned into, basically the Gestapo.
Like, oh, he didn't have his ID.
You know, you have to have your real ID.
We need your paperwork, your documentation.
Do you hear yourself?
You know, five years ago, you were on the other side of this whole thing.
We don't need ID.
We don't need permits.
We're going to march around with guns in our peaceful protests.
We're going to protest illegitimate government.
And there are pictures all over the internet of all kinds of groups of conservatives marching around with 50 cow barrets, which are heavy.
Those are like 30-pound rifles without optics.
I feel sorry for the guy that brought that because marching around with that thing all day, you would get very tired.
I would much rather bring an ultralight AR.
You know, if you're just walking around for show, just bring a super light, like a penciled barrel, you know.
But anyway, the point is that conservatives, they love to march around with AR-15s and long rifles.
They do it all the time.
They've done it for years.
Does anybody remember Bundy Ranch?
Bundy Ranch?
Come on.
All the conservatives rising up against the federal government's land grab.
Anybody remember that?
Or have we all just forgotten that?
It's bizarre to me that the memory time span of conservatives in America today, the pro-Trump conservatives, seems to be about five minutes.
They have the memory of a goldfish because all of a sudden now it's like, oh, guns are bad and you shouldn't have guns.
And if you have guns and you're anywhere around law enforcement, they have the right to shoot you and kill you, even if you weren't attacking them.
And the other argument is, well, he was resisting arrest.
Now, if you watch the video, first of all, he was, Alex was assaulted by ICE.
He was assaulted by ICE.
They threw him to the ground.
They beat him.
And one ICE agent was pistol whipping him in the face with a pistol.
And that's become clear from another angle now.
So they were smashing him in the face with the butt of a pistol.
Now, if that's happening to you, are you supposed to just like not squirm?
Are you supposed to do what?
Play dead?
Relax?
Are you supposed to relax?
Or are you going to try to like dodge the blows?
You know?
Are you going to like put your hand in front of your face maybe to not get your teeth knocked out?
Well, law enforcement calls that resisting arrest.
So as they are beating you and smashing you in the face with the butt of a pistol, if you raise your hand to try to block the pistol, that's called violently resisting arrest.
And that, according to conservatives today, gives them the right to kill you.
That's what Kash Patel says, head of the FBI.
That's what Christy Noam says of Homeland Security.
That's what Trump endorses.
That's what Bondi endorses.
They all endorse it now.
That if an ICE officer or if five ICE officers assault you and start and throw you to the ground and start beating you and smashing you in the face, if you raise a hand to defend your face, you can be shot and killed, and then they will call you a terrorist.
So that's wrong on so many levels.
It's unbelievable that there are any conservatives who could support that.
But they are.
Which, of course, tells you that 75% of MAGA have no principles at all.
They don't believe anything.
They certainly don't believe the things that they stood for, they claim to stand for.
It was all just cosplay for them.
It's sort of like philosophical transgenderism.
I self-identify as someone who defends the Second Amendment, but when it comes down to it, they really don't.
It's like biological men in women's sports.
Same thing.
It's like philosophical Second Amendment people who are faking it.
But when you pull up their skirt, they got balls there.
They're actually dudes in women's sports.
You see?
Same thing.
So all these arguments that I'm hearing from conservatives so far, none of them hold water in a court of law.
None of them would pass muster in a law enforcement firearms training class.
I guarantee you.
Moment Of Recklessness00:15:48
And remember, when I lived in Arizona, I was a board member of the Tucson Police Foundation, by the way.
And I would go there and I would talk to the police chief.
I talked to the captains.
In fact, they invited me to join the police force.
They said, you're the kind of person that we need on the police force here.
Why don't you join?
And, of course, I didn't want to be a cop.
It's funny, over all these years, like out of high school, the United States Marines really tried to recruit me because they saw my college entrance test scores and they were like, oh, my God, we need really smart Marines.
You know, what can we offer you?
Can we give you all this?
You know, we'll pay for college.
We'll give you all this money.
We need really high IQ U.S. Marines.
And I'm like, look, that's great, but I'm going to college.
Nothing against the Marines, but I'm just taking another path.
But they tried to recruit me hard.
And then also law enforcement tried to recruit me in Arizona.
But when I was there, I would go to their training facility and participate sometimes in the DT, what's called defensive technique training, DT training.
And that's where I also, ultimately, I became so proficient in edged weapons combat because I had taken a lot of training from other edge weapons experts and hand-to-hand combat experts that I ended up training cops on edge weapons defense.
And in some cases, I was training new soldiers who were about to be deployed to the Middle East.
So they would come to the school where I was a student of the school, and this was a martial arts school.
And then I was asked by the school owners to help train these soldiers before they were going to be deployed because they had no training in edge weapons.
So we would train them in edge weapons and try to help them survive when they got deployed overseas.
So I've been around plenty of cops and plenty of soldiers and plenty of SWAT and plenty of special forces, all these guys over and over, year after year after year.
I know exactly how they are trained.
And which means I've also, I know how the instructors work because I've been through many classes of instructors.
And every instructor that I ever attended would be laughing at anybody who claimed that this ICE shooting was a legitimate shooting.
The instructor would probably make you drop down and do 50 push-ups just for suggesting it.
It's like, you freaking idiot, drop to the floor, give me 50.
You know, they would chew you out for suggesting that that's a legitimate shooting.
That is not a legitimate shooting.
Now, I was contacted by Jeffrey Prather, who I respect, by the way.
And let me just mention Jeffrey Prather has more firearms experience than I do.
He's not only is he former DIA and former DEA and an instructor.
I mean, he's taught thousands of people about firearms safety and handling and the rule of law.
And on top of that, Jeffrey Prather, he is, he's a man of high moral integrity.
So if there's one person who I know I can always trust his take on this, it's Jeffrey Prather.
And he says that it's not a bad shooting because the agents there on the ground in the scuffle could not see necessarily that that man's pistol had been taken away.
And that in the moment of the chaos of a scuffle, crazy things can happen.
And they do happen, especially involving firearms.
So he's saying that that's just what happens sometimes.
Basically, I think he's saying that even if it was a mistake, it's the kind of mistake that just happens.
And there's nothing you can do about it.
Now, I don't want to put words in his mouth.
I think that's what he's saying because he and I exchanged a lot of messages about this.
Now, again, he's got a lot more experience than I do.
He was a federal agent.
And he's right about the fact that the people right there, the ICE agents right there in that moment, they do not have the same information that you and I have looking at this from seven different angles after the fact, slow motion, frame-by-frame video.
And I absolutely understand that.
I do understand that.
And I've been one to defend law enforcement in the past when especially Democrats and leftists would accuse law enforcement of shootings or killings or what have you.
I've tended to side with, you know, let's give law enforcement the benefit of the doubt here because they have very difficult jobs and they are under tremendous pressure.
And it's like right at this moment, life or death.
Absolutely.
I understand all of that and I absolutely respect Jeffrey Prather.
However, that does not nullify rule number one, which is that every law enforcement member is responsible for every round that leaves the chamber of every firearm when they pull the trigger.
So you can say, well, they didn't know that the guy was unarmed.
And you could say, well, they heard a gunshot.
They heard that accidental discharge by the ICE agent that we're talking about.
So maybe this guy heard accidental discharge and then he decided to just pull the trigger.
That's his fault.
In my view, clearly that's his fault.
He did not have justification to pull that trigger.
And he's responsible for every round of his firearm.
So I understand that in this fog of confusion, that bad things can happen.
And I've also said to people, I've literally said that if you go to some protest, well, actually, I've said, number one, don't go to the protest, okay?
I've encouraged people to stay home.
But secondly, I said, if you do, don't bring a gun.
I'm not anti-Second Amendment, just to be clear.
You have every right to bring a firearm in a holster concealed this or that.
But just understand that if you do, that is going to add some level of complication to the situation if there's any kind of a scuffle.
And then the minute some ICE agent sees your holster, they're going to scream, gun, gun, gun.
And then everybody loses their shit.
Okay.
So, and that clearly is some of what led up to this event.
But my point is that these ICE agents, or at least the one that took the shot, I believe that he lacked sufficient training.
And he was in the middle of an adrenaline dump.
And he was trigger happy.
And he shot and killed an unarmed man, whether or not he knew the man was unarmed.
That's what he did.
Now, I'm not saying that their job is easy, but I'm saying that they need better training and they need better restraint.
And I think they're being told to instigate violence and they were acting like thugs out there.
They were acting like thugs.
And very unprofessional, masked agents, so they can't be identified.
So nobody's held responsible for when they shoot people.
We still don't know the name of this agent that shot somebody.
So all of that is wrong on so many levels.
Law enforcement are supposed to answer to the public.
They're supposed to wear their name on their badge.
We're supposed to know who they are.
Who are you?
Because you're responsible for what you're doing here.
They're hiding their faces so that no one's held responsible.
And then they're escalating the violence and shooting people.
This isn't the first one.
They shot Renee Good also.
And probably more shootings will occur.
So this is spiraling into a very dangerous situation.
And as I've said before, I think this spiral is all by design.
I think the Trump administration wants leftists to attack and kill ICE agents.
I think actually ICE agents are being put out there as bait because I think Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act.
In fact, I'm certain that that's coming.
And that in order to do so, he needs to be able to point to the killing of an ICE agent.
And so I think ICE has been given instructions.
Now, this is just my conjecture.
I don't know for sure that this has happened, but I suspect it.
I think they've been told to go out there and start shoving people and start hurting people and try to provoke a response.
Because, you see, Trump can't deploy U.S. military soldiers to do civil policing operations.
That's clearly unconstitutional, wouldn't be tolerated even by the Supreme Court.
But what Trump is allowed to do is to deploy soldiers to protect ICE agents.
But in order to do that, there would have to be some kind of an assault on ICE agents.
And in order to do that, the people out there in Minneapolis have to be provoked to get that response.
So this is a series of events that I think is all engineered in order to lead us into essentially martial law.
That's clearly the goal.
So I don't believe that these shootings are accidental.
I think they're really part of an overall posture, which is a posture of recklessness and aggression by federal ICE agents who are being incentivized with bonuses, you know, signing bonuses to come join us, you know.
And I think they have a hoorah kind of mentality.
You know, go out there and bust some heads.
And, you know, one of them was applauding and clapping after the shooting of Alex Predi.
It's on film.
Why would you be clapping?
Why are you applauding that?
They see it as a victory.
So we now have kind of a rabid, violent mentality here, kind of a gang mentality, not a law enforcement mentality.
And that's my primary concern here, is that they're not acting like law enforcement.
I know law enforcement.
And most of the law enforcement that I know that I've interacted with are very law-abiding people.
They are rule of law.
In fact, some of them annoyingly are by the books people.
You know, if there's not a regulation for it, they won't do it.
Some of them just worship the rules, you know.
But these guys, these ICE guys, there are no rules, seemingly.
They're just out there doing anything they want.
Shoving people around, shoving women, pepper spraying, beating, pistol whipping, spraying people in the face on the ground, kneeing people in the face on the ground, and then shooting people.
They have become a rogue, violent, paramilitary police force that clearly is unconstitutional.
And then finally, making this even worse is when you have the head of the FBI, Kash Patel, who says in an interview on mainstream media, he said, well, you're not allowed to bring a gun to a protest, especially with two or three magazines.
He says that's illegal.
And even the NRA said, what?
What are you talking about?
That's not illegal.
That's called the Second Amendment.
And to see suddenly so many conservatives now saying that, oh, it's illegal to have a gun is very bizarre.
The same conservatives who were pro-gun five seconds ago.
And now 75% of them are anti-gun.
And you're hearing left-wing arguments coming out of the mouths of so-called conservatives saying, well, he had two full magazines.
That's the kind of thing you would hear from Democrats.
Oh, my God, he had two full magazines.
Therefore, he intended to massacre federal agents.
No.
Lots of us carry spare mags all the time.
If you ever find me with less than two full magazines, you caught me off guard.
Two full magazines, that's an everyday carry situation, folks.
If you don't have two full magazines, you suck at concealed carry.
Because magazines jam.
Guns jam, bullets jam.
You got to have a spare mag.
So there's one mag in your pistol, and then there's a spare mag, at least a spare mag.
And a lot of people carry two spare mags, so that's three full magazines.
Well, according to the head of the FBI, that makes you a terrorist.
And the vast majority of Trump supporters are now agreeing with that, which is so insane that I have to wonder how many of them were vaccine damaged.
You know, how bad was the lobotomy if you now think that carrying spare mags makes you a terrorist and that you should be shot by federal agents because you can still carry a pistol with extra mags.
That is not a crime that has been defended for decades by conservatives and all the gun groups.
And, you know, thank God that the gun owners of America, the GOA, came out and spoke out in favor of concealed carry.
And so did the NRA and other gun groups and pro-2A attorneys are speaking out.
And they're pushing back on Trump and Kash Patel, as they should.
And I agree with them.
Where is this attack on the Second Amendment coming from?
On the conservative side, which tells you something very bizarre, that about 75% of conservatives don't actually believe in any conservative principles.
Because the moment that a leftist exercises their Second Amendment rights, then they get attacked and called the terrorists and they say the government had the right to murder you.
That's conservatives saying that.
The same conservatives who in many cases were actually participating in the J6 protests on January 6th of 2021.
Those same people are saying now it's right for federal agents to kill people if they carry a concealed firearm on a public street.
Silver Lining Revealed00:12:59
That's bizarre.
That actually, that speaks about much more than just the rule of law.
That speaks to a brain damage issue.
some kind of mass mental illness across the conservative movement that maybe they've had a stroke or something and they've lost this whole part of their brain, like the 2A section of the brain has just been, you know, surgically removed or something while they slept.
Like someone shoved a vacuum up their nose and sucked out the 2A lobotomy section.
And now they've suddenly forgot what the Second Amendment is.
That's how crazy it is at this point.
So, of course, I don't buy any of that.
I'm a person of principle, which means I believe that the Bill of Rights applies to, get this, all Americans, all Americans.
I know that sounds radical to think that, my God, the Bill of Rights applies to all Americans, even the Democrats?
Yes, yes, even the Democrats.
I mean, the things that I've seen out of this are so bizarre.
I mean, I saw Zero Hedge did an article that tried to make Alex Pratty look like this horrible bad guy that he was part of a group that would blow whistles.
That's what Zero Hedge said.
They had whistles.
And they would identify where ICE was.
And then they would share ICE location details with each other.
As if, like, is that a crime?
Because I can assure you that on January 6th, I can assure you that all the people there were pointing out, oh, there's law enforcement, there's the feds, there's the instigators.
I mean, even Alex Jones and Owen Schroer and everybody who was there, they're like, there's the feds over there.
Of course, everybody's pointing out where the feds are.
That's not a crime.
That is not a crime to point out where feds are.
It doesn't make you a terrorist to say, hey, ICE is on the corner of, you know, 4th and Baldwin or whatever.
That doesn't make you a terrorist.
And blowing whistles at ICE doesn't make you a terrorist.
And filming ICE with your mobile phone also doesn't make you a terrorist.
I'm sorry.
Anybody making those arguments is intellectually either lobotomized or dishonest.
Just not very bright.
You know, low IQ people make those arguments.
But those arguments don't hold up at all.
So believe me, when the Democrats come back into power, and they will probably very soon now, Democrats are going to take all of this.
Every comment made by all these conservatives, you don't have the right to have guns or law enforcement had the right to shoot you.
Democrats are collecting all these tweets and they're going to play them back right in your face when they get power and they deploy federal officials under their administration to come take your guns.
They're going to use the same arguments that conservatives, that MAGA is making right now.
So MAGA dropped the ball on this one big time.
MAGA just abandoned its principles and this is not going to end well.
So we need to do better than this, folks.
We need to have principles.
We need to understand that law enforcement doesn't have unbounded permission to just open fire on anybody they want.
They're responsible for their actions.
Guns don't kill people by themselves.
People kill people.
In this case, law enforcement killed an unarmed American civilian, a nurse.
And there need to be repercussions for this.
Legally, civilly.
The president needs to denounce this activity by ICE and give them better training to reel them in and tell them, you know, you can't just run out and just wage war on the streets of America and just start shooting Americans.
But the president's not reeling them in, is he?
He's encouraging them.
And that's why this is going to get worse.
So we're in a very dangerous situation right now.
But I hope you'll join me in standing up for principles, demanding that we honor and respect both the First Amendment rights and the Second Amendment rights of all Americans, whether they're on the left or the right or politically agnostic or whatever.
Leftists have the right to carry a gun just as much as a conservative.
As long as they're not, you know, brandishing it and waving it around at people, which was not happening in this case.
So remember, if you don't believe in principles that universally apply to other people, then you don't believe in principles at all.
They're not principles.
By definition, a principle has to be universal.
Otherwise, it's not a principle.
Now, amazingly, conservative America has forgotten all this.
And that's why conservative America is about to be handed probably a long, many years of election defeats.
Because mainstream America sees how out of control this situation is, and they don't like this.
And finally, one more comment.
I am not opposed to ICE removing violent illegal aliens, especially those involved in robberies and kidnappings and rapings and child trafficking and drug trafficking, etc.
I'm all for that.
They should remove those people from this country.
Remember, I support the rule of law.
Anybody who entered this country illegally should be removed.
And if that takes a police force to remove them, I totally support that.
Even though I also support legal immigration that is done by the books, that's done under the rule of law.
But in the process of removing illegals, you can't run around a city opening fire on Americans and then saying, well, you know, the ends justify the means.
I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way.
In the process of removing illegals, if you think you have to shoot and kill Americans, there's something wrong with your process.
You need to do better.
And that's the issue.
All right, so I'm a principled person.
Whether you agree or disagree with my analysis of the situation, I hope you know that I consistently and unwaveringly operate with principles.
My principles are fixed and they are universal.
And they are not for sale and they will not be compromised.
I believe every American has a Second Amendment right.
Every American has a First Amendment right, which means every American has the right to be on the street.
I'm not saying impeding traffic or impeding law enforcement, but standing back and filming with a phone and carrying a holstered concealed weapon, every American has that right, other than, you know, convicted felons, let's say.
Every American has that right.
Anyone arguing against that is un-American, period.
And anyone arguing against that, you should stop following them because they have no principles.
And they are telling you that they have no principles.
They're telling you.
So the silver lining of this whole event, although it's very sad that this American nurse was shot and murdered by ICE officials, but the silver lining is now we get to see who has principles versus who's full of shit this whole time.
And that clarity is rather enlightening, isn't it?
Now you can tell exactly.
And to those people who are out there saying, well, I support ICE, just, you know, just shoot and kill anybody who's got a gun.
Shoot and kill anybody who's filming them.
You know, put them on a list.
Call them terrorism.
Anybody who says that, you know, they should be very careful what they are begging for because the police state will be turned against them next.
You think that this apparatus that's being constructed here with the palantir database, the surveillance grid, the use of deadly force by government, the masked agents, you think that this is going to be limited to just illegals?
Come on.
That's just the excuse to put the camel's nose under the tent here.
This is all about establishing a surveillance police state system so they can use it against you.
So most of these people who are cheering this on, they're going to be the victims of the very system that they are cheering.
It's only a matter of time.
But they're just too stupid to see it.
So sadly, that's where we are in history right now.
If you don't stand for the liberties of others, then don't be surprised when your liberties are taken away and no one defends yours either.
It's very simple.
So I stand for universal liberty.
And while I recognize that law enforcement must at times defend themselves against violent, eminent aggression or the threat of violence by someone with a gun or a knife that's attacking them, I mean, again, I understand that law enforcement, that there are legitimate uses of firearms in self-defense, but this was not one of those times.
It's very clear.
So thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams of naturalnews.com and Brighteon.com.
And you can find my article on this at naturalnews.com.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
One of the most extraordinary things about psychologically amplified events, such as this shooting of Alex Pretty, a nurse in Minneapolis who was clearly a left-wing protester who opposed ICE, but he was assaulted and beaten to the ground.
His pistol was taken away and then he was shot and killed by ICE agents after he was disarmed.
This kind of event has a fascinating silver lining, even though the event itself is rather tragic and psychologically very disturbing to our nation, to everyone.
But the silver lining is that it brings us great clarity in understanding who operates with principles and who has only been faking it this entire time.
And that's the focus of this podcast.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me here today.
And I am a person of principle.
I know that you know that.
And I'm not claiming to be perfect, but I always strive to operate with consistent principles.
And as a result, those principles clearly have to apply to everyone.
I believe that all people are equal in the eyes of God and that we all have human rights.
I believe that we all have Second Amendment rights and we all have First Amendment rights.
And that doesn't matter whether you're left-wing or right-wing, liberal, conservative, independent, black, white, Christian, Muslim, Jew, whatever the case may be, you have these same rights.
And I actually believe in principles, which I know it seems strange that I would have to say that, but what I'm explaining here in this podcast is that the vast majority of those who like to cosplay as having principles, it turns out they don't actually have those principles at all.
They're only faking it the entire time.
Mag Drops & Fake Principles00:04:46
And we see this in many examples, not just with the shooting of Alex Pretty, where we have conservatives who once claimed to be pro-Second Amendment, all of a sudden denouncing the use of guns or just citizens even carrying a gun in a concealed holster, not brandishing it, not threatening anybody with it, but just having it on their person.
All of a sudden, you have the MAGA movement or about three-quarters of MAGA are saying that if you carry a gun, you deserve to be shot and killed by federal agents.
Where now you have Democrats and people on the left arguing in favor of the Second Amendment, specifically the Second Amendment right of this individual, Alex Pretty, to be able to legally carry this weapon.
So the very first thing we notice is that conservatives, about 75% of them, really don't have any principles.
They only fake like they do, but when it comes down to applying those principles, such as the right to keep and bear arms, they fault.
And they say, oh, no, no, he didn't have the right at all.
So all of a sudden, the slogan, don't tread on me.
You know, you've seen the flag, the snake with the yellow background, don't tread on me, has now become, in the minds of about three-quarters of Trump supporters, stomp on my face, daddy.
You know, strike me in the neck with your jackboot over and over again because don't tread on me is apparently ancient history.
And when you see so many conservatives now using the language of the Democrats, which is anti-gun rhetoric, claiming things like, well, he had two fully loaded magazines.
Oh my God.
That must be proof of intent to massacre law enforcement.
Nonsense like that, which has been uttered by Kash Patel, the FBI director, and others, then you know you're dealing with people who have no principles.
And in Kash Patel's case, not even any simple understanding of the law that his entire agency is supposed to enforce.
Does Kash Patel really not know that it's perfectly legal to carry a firearm with an unlimited number of magazines?
You can walk around with 10 magazines if you want.
There's no law against carrying magazines.
I mean, not that I'm aware of, but I live in Texas, so, you know, check your own state laws.
But almost everybody I know carries at least two magazines, and a lot of people carry three.
Firearms instructors always carry three.
Former cops usually carry two or three magazines.
Why?
Because they know what happens.
You get into a firefight, you know, your mag malfunctions.
Or something happens, your mag drops out of the gun, failure to load.
I don't know, it didn't latch into the mag catch, and the mag drops out.
You don't have time to fish around on the pavement for your magazine.
You grab a fresh mag.
You pop that magazine in.
You know, you rack the slide.
You're back up and running.
It could save your life.
Of course you carry extra magazines.
Everybody does who's serious about concealed carry.
And also, it's supposed to be a universal principle that we have a First Amendment right, which is the right to be in a public place, off the side of a public road, filming police doing their job.
That is not interfering with police business, to be standing back and filming police.
And yet we've now entered this era where so many conservatives say, well, he was impeding law enforcement, and therefore he deserved to be shot.
Well, I don't know how filming law enforcement is impeding law enforcement.
And then if they come over to you and attack you and then they scream that, oh, you're resisting arrest, resisting arrest, while they're beating your face with a pistol and they're beating you to the ground and you're on your knees and they still scream, you're resisting arrest.
I don't know what you're supposed to do that is not resisting arrest.
Maga Christians and Moral Hypocrisy00:12:24
I mean, there's it's this is Orwellian, this claim that I guess unless you're already dead, then you're resisting arrest.
Oh, you're breathing.
You're resisting arrest by your breathing.
How dare you breathe?
You know, these are insane concepts, but this is what's being pushed by much of the conservative base now that have completely abandoned principles.
Now, this isn't the first time we've seen something like this.
We saw this after October 7th, 2023 with Israel versus Gaza and the Palestinians.
What did we see?
Oh, we saw so-called Christians who claim to be followers of Christ.
We saw them endorse and promote the mass killing of hundreds of thousands of children and women and doctors and the genocidal destruction of residential buildings, hospitals, mosques, Christian churches, universities, the mass blowing up of everything in Gaza while Christians cheered.
It goes without saying that that is anti-Christ.
Christ himself, Yeshua, as we say, would never have endorsed such actions against any human being.
Christ taught love and peace and universal acceptance and understanding.
Love thy neighbor.
And Christ also taught principles of understanding that all human beings are children of the same God.
Whether or not they have the same belief, they are still children of the same creator.
And thus, this idea that you can carry out genocide and war crimes and ethnic cleansing in the name of Christ is, of course, a total abandonment of the principle of Christianity in the first place.
But that didn't stop some very large segment of Christians from pushing that.
So if you think about it, it's quite fascinating here.
We've covered so far.
You have conservatives that have abandoned conservative principles.
And you have Christians that have abandoned Christian principles.
Whereas the Satanists out there, they're very consistent on what they are pushing.
They are all in for Satan.
They're pushing Satan full force and they never sway from that agenda.
For them, it's Satan all the way.
They're not suddenly going out and betraying their Satan God by going out and doing good deeds, you see.
Whereas Christians are running around promoting Satanist type of activities and claiming that it's Christian.
So although Satanists are evil, they are consistent.
They are doing what they promise to do.
They're promoting Satan, you know, 24-7.
And you could say they actually have stronger faith in their Satanism than Christians have in Christ.
Because so many Christians don't follow Christ, don't follow what Christ taught.
The Satanists are absolutely following what Satan is teaching, you know, suffering, pain, destruction, death, all the horrible things.
They're tied into that.
They are faithful to that.
The Christians, one day, it'll be, oh, love and peace, and let's go to church.
And the next day, it's like, kill them all, bomb them, you know, make the children bleed.
That's what so many Christians have become.
So we live in a society right now where almost no one has any principles.
There are a few, probably most of you listening.
And the people who actually have principles tend to be those who are more intelligent because they ponder these things.
They think about this.
They sort of reason their way through the idea of adhering to a moral code.
Whereas the people who don't have principles or who easily surrender them, like the conservatives right now who are just abandoning the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, they tend to be low IQ people.
And there are a lot of low IQ Trump supporters.
I mean, I don't know what percentage they represent, but there's a lot of stupid Trump supporters out there.
And they really don't have even the cognitive capability to think about what are principles.
So they don't have any.
They're just NPCs who just re-voice or regurgitate whatever is the current talking point.
You know, ICE is good.
ICE is always right.
Whoever they shoot deserved it.
You know, those are the talking points of extremely low IQ people who are not smart, who are not informed, who don't have moral reasoning, who don't have higher cognition, etc.
And you've seen them.
You know, we've all seen them.
We've all heard them.
And also the same thing is true for those Christians that abandon the principles of Christ.
They're low IQ Christians.
Now, of course, there are plenty of high IQ Christians out there as well, but there's a pretty good portion of low IQ Christians who don't actually think through anything.
Again, they're just regurgitating.
That, oh, we're Christians, therefore we have to support Israel because those who bless Israel will be blessed, blah, blah, blah.
It's like Senator Ted Cruz repeating what he learned in Sunday school 50 years ago.
It's just completely insane.
And these people are low IQ.
They don't think through anything.
They're just regurgitating.
And thus, since they have no adherence to actual principles, they're easily swayed by Trump himself or the media or influencers or whatever may happen or, you know, just psyops.
They don't have an anchor of values or principles that they can fall back on.
They're just blowing in the wind.
You know, whatever argument comes their way, whether it's like, you know, let's bomb Gaza today or let's shoot Americans in the streets of Minneapolis, whatever it happens to be, they just latch on to it because they have no moral code.
They have no internal anchor.
And there are a lot of people in that qualification who were MAGA or who are Christians or who voted for Trump.
Lots of them.
Not all of them.
I'm not saying everybody who's MAGA is like this, but it's an alarming percentage.
And what's especially concerning about this is that much of the criticism of the left from conservatives has focused on what?
Lack of morality of the leftists.
So for decades, conservatives have been lecturing Democrats and saying, well, you lack morals.
You lack family values.
All your LGBT things are a betrayal of God's teachings about morality.
You know, things like that.
Or saying that your transgenderism is a violation of the moral code.
So it's all this morality, these demands that leftists are bad because they are immoral, because they don't have a value system.
And then it turns out that the majority of conservatives and Christians don't have a value system at all, as we've just been talking about.
So the hypocrisy is pretty bizarre.
It's sort of like, well, the left believes that it's okay to mutilate children in the name of transgenderism, but the Christian right believes it's okay to bomb children in the name of Zionism.
So neither one has any principles at all.
And that's why I say we are living in the era of the abandonment of real moral principles.
Very few people live by principles.
And you know why that is?
Because you're not accepted into any political party or any system, any group.
They don't want you.
You know, a church doesn't want you.
The Democrat Party doesn't want you.
The MAGA movement doesn't want you if you have actual principles.
What all these groups want out there, including churches or Democrats or whatever groups are out there, what they want is obedience to their agendas.
Oh, you can be part of this group as long as you just accept what we are teaching and never question it and never apply some other moral standard.
We're going to tell you what it is.
You know, we're going to tell you when it's okay to shoot Americans in the streets, or we're going to tell you when it's okay to mutilate the genitalia of children.
And if you question this, then you're not welcome in our group.
So actually, having universal principles makes you very unpopular in a society dominated by insane people.
And that's where we are.
We are living in a society of widespread mental health instabilities, insanity, ignorance, and evil.
And in that system, almost everybody who claims to have moral principles is faking it.
They really don't.
Again, you know, the conservatives who on January 6th, 2021, they were like, we have the right to be here.
We have the right to, you know, block the counting of votes here of the Electoral College because you guys rigged the election.
We're going to interfere with a government operation here because you rigged the election.
And then five years later, those same conservatives are saying, oh, well, Alex Predi, he was interfering with official government business.
Therefore, the federal agents had the right to shoot and kill him.
And as I said in a post online, I said, just wait until MAGA of 2026 finds out what MAGA of 2021 did on January 6th because they were interfering with official government business and they also impeded traffic and they did not consent to the commands of law enforcement.
So according to MAGA of 2026, everybody who was at the protest on January 6th should have been shot by federal officers and killed.
MAGA of 2026 would argue that that's perfectly acceptable, except for the fact that if all the MAGA people of 2021 had been shot and killed, they would not exist in 2026 because they're the same people.
That's my point.
They are the same people.
So they're the same people, but they abandoned their principles, which means they never had them.
So it is by definition that if you have a principle, it's not something that is just easily changeable based on the political winds of the day.
Right?
Does that make sense?
If it's a principle, it should outlast any election, any administration, the coming and going of whoever's in charge.
If it's a principle, it's something that should perhaps last a lifetime.
There may be rare cases where you learn something new, you change your understanding in a profound way, or you went off and took ayahuasca or something.
So, and then now you have a different principle, perhaps.
Principles That Last00:15:42
I've heard that that happens to people from time to time.
But that's pretty rare.
For the most part, if you have actual principles, they should be stable and consistent.
Like, for example, I have a universal principle that says all human lives have value.
All human lives, all humans are children of God.
Every human life has value, and that every human being has human rights.
And those rights include things like access to knowledge or the right to keep the product of your own labor, the right to be free from slavery, the right to be free from violence, etc., the right to defend your property and defend your person.
See, these are fundamental human rights that I believe apply to all humans.
But Zionist Christians don't believe in human rights.
They don't believe that those rights apply to all humans.
They believe that those rights are reserved only to one group of people that they think was selected by God to rule over all others and to slaughter anyone they wish.
That's literally what Christian Zionists believe, which tells you what, they have no principles.
They've been deceived.
So they're not following Christ, obviously.
They're not following God.
What are they following?
Well, believe it or not, they're following Satan.
So they're actually Satanists, which is the most consistent principle system of carrying out evil on a consistent basis.
So a lot of Christians think that they are following Christ or they say that, but in reality, they're following Satan, you see?
And there are many examples like this across the spectrum of different political parties and different persuasions and different religions, etc.
And I'm not picking on Christians.
This can happen in any religion.
There can be, for example, there can be radicalized Muslims who, even though maybe they've read the Quran and they grew up practicing Islam and they worship Muhammad as the prophet, but then they become radicalized and then they go off and they say, well, we think that Muhammad wants us to do this thing over here and they end up committing violence or a bombing or something.
That's also Satanism because that's not what Islam actually teaches, it turns out.
So any religion can be deceived into Satanism.
It can happen with Sikhs.
It can happen, you know, with Hindus.
I've never heard it happening with Buddhists, but maybe there's been a Buddhist that became a Satanist.
I doubt it, but I suppose technically it's possible.
I would be surprised if that were the case.
So whatever your principles are, I've shared a couple of mine with you, like I believe in fundamental human rights.
I also believe in the principle of telling the truth, exposing the truth, and exposing corruption.
Those are some of my principles.
I believe in protecting nature.
I believe that animals deserve to live.
I believe it's wrong to abuse animals, for example, or to shoot them for sport.
See, so those are some of my beliefs.
You may or may not share those beliefs.
That's up to you.
But whatever your principles are, I ask you, are they consistent?
Do you actually live with those principles day to day?
What about when they are challenged?
Do you go with what's popular or do you stick with your principles?
Because I guarantee you, if you stick with your principles, you will become hated by a large segment of society because society has no principles.
The vast majority of people have no principles.
They are a mindless mob of pretenders who are pretending to be Christians or pretending to be conservatives or pretending to be even liberals or pretending to promote human rights or whatever.
In very few cases do they actually believe and follow what they claim to worship or to adhere to, in very few cases.
And that's why when you have, for example, you have Christian pastors who are nothing but obedient propagandists for genocidal Israel, you know that they are people who have no morals and no soul.
I mean, literally have no anchor to their soul.
their lost souls, especially when they do it in the name of Christ.
That's somehow more of a violation of God's cosmic laws, you know, to do it in the name of Christ.
But there are lots of other examples of people doing insane things that violate what they say they stand for.
Right now, we have a lot of conservative commentators that previously have been well known for calling out mass government thugs under the Obama administration or under the Biden administration and being very concerned about the overarching power of FEMA and talking about FEMA camps and talking about federal agents and checkpoints on roads that are even hundreds of miles inside the border, you know.
And then now these same conservative commentators, or many of them, are saying, no, ICE can shoot whoever they need to shoot.
This is necessary because we have to get rid of these illegals.
And thus they're arguing that the ends justify the means.
That's their argument.
What does that tell you?
They don't have principles.
In essence, they're saying that in order to deport illegals, we're going to abandon all the principles and the rule of law and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that we've been defending for the last decade or more.
We're going to abandon all that because we have to surrender the entire Bill of Rights and the entire Constitution and all civil protections in order to deport illegals.
That's what their argument is.
And what does that tell you?
They have no principles.
Because even if you achieve that, even if you manage to deport all the illegals, then what are you left with?
You're left with living in a police state run by a government that respects no civil rights.
And is that a win?
Well, we got rid of all the illegals.
Guess what?
Now ICE is looking for something else to do.
They're coming for you.
Their role is just going to shift to shooting Americans.
I mean, law enforcement doesn't just go away after it's been granted a big budget and some big important role.
They're not going to say, well, our job is done.
Let's just shut it down and we all go home.
You know, job well done.
No.
They're going to say, well, what else can we do to justify our existence?
And they'll start either looking for trouble or causing trouble, you know, like Waco style.
Anything to justify their existence, like the ATF did back, what year was that?
1993, I think?
You know, set fire to a compound and burn up a bunch of women and children and blame it on, you know, gun nuts.
It's classic.
They do this over and over again.
And if you don't have principles, you will be swept up into these things.
You won't be able to discern what's true from what's just a psyop.
That's why you have to have principles.
Principles have to be universal by definition.
If you don't have universal principles, you don't have principles at all.
And you can't have it both ways saying, oh, on one hand, you know, governments are tyrants and they're overarching and they're taking away our civil liberties.
But then when your guy gets into the White House, you turn around and say, but our tyranny is great.
You know, our tyranny is the kind of tyranny that we need.
We're going to cheer tyranny for our team.
Well, you know why that doesn't work?
Because the precedent set by your authoritarian team is going to be used by the next administration that comes into power, which is likely to be the other team.
And then the other team is going to ratchet that up even more and say, well, hey, you know, Trump set the example of massed government agents in the streets shooting Americans.
So we're just going to do that times 10.
And then you're going to end up with, you know, Democrat-run masked government agents in the streets demanding that you show your papers and running checkpoints.
And if you carry a gun, they're going to say, well, that makes you a terrorist.
And they're going to shoot you in your car.
And at that point, then conservatives would be screaming bloody murder.
Oh, my God, they're not respecting our Second Amendment rights.
Well, you didn't respect the Second Amendment rights of Democrats, did you?
So you've got nothing to complain about.
You never stood for the Second Amendment when it came down to somebody else's Second Amendment rights.
So therefore, you don't even believe in the Second Amendment.
So you've got nothing to complain about.
You know, federal agents are just going to shoot you in your car.
And, hey, you applauded it when they did it to Renee Good.
You applauded it when they shot Alex Predi.
So, hey, don't blame anybody else when they do it to you.
Because you should actually start clapping as they're firing rounds into your face because this is the kind of thing that you endorse.
In other words, don't be surprised when they do it to you.
See, another important part of all this is that conservatives used to claim that they believed in small government.
Do you know any small government conservatives anymore?
No, it's like, oh, we need ICE military soldiers in every city now.
We need a military presence everywhere.
We need a bigger Pentagon budget, $1.5 trillion now.
We need to have more wars.
We need to bomb Iran.
We need to go to war with Russia and China and Venezuela and maybe invade Greenland on top of that.
Whatever happened to the principle of small government?
Well, that's vanished from the short memories of conservatives, by and large.
They've just said, well, we don't need small government now.
Our team is in charge.
So let's make the government bigger and more powerful because our team, our tribe, is running things now.
See, that's the thinking.
And that's very, very dangerous.
Because that ultimately leads to, again, the other team taking over one day.
And then that entire apparatus is used against you.
Just like right now, conservatives are cheering on Trump using the Palantir surveillance database to surveil all Americans.
Why?
Because we need to track illegals, you see.
So we're going to use everything.
We're going to use snooping on people's email and on their cell phone calls and texts and satellite images and monitoring vehicle locations.
We're going to break into all their email, all their private chats.
And we're going to say, well, it's necessary because we have to track the illegals.
But it's not really limited to that, is it?
Even if all the illegals are gone, do you think government's going to say our job is done here?
We're going to stop surveilling the American people?
Of course not.
They've built the surveillance apparatus.
You think they're not going to use it?
Do you really think that they're going to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a system to spy on you and surveill you and track everything about you and build profiles of you?
Do you think after spending all that money and time to build that system that they won't use it?
If you believe that, you're irrational.
I mean, delusional, actually.
But a lot of conservatives believe that, and they are delusional, and they don't have any principles.
They used to be opposed to surveillance.
Don't tread on me.
They used to be opposed to government agents in the streets shooting people.
Now they support it.
See?
Now, the most important final thought in all of this is one of the reasons it's important that we have principles is because we want to live in a world where other people share similar principles.
In other words, the reason why it's important that we as individuals don't run around just opening fire on people everywhere is because we also don't want other people doing that to us.
Does that make sense?
The reason we don't run red lights at high speed with our cars is because we also don't want other people running red lights with their cars.
Imagine a world where everybody just ran the red lights.
What would traffic be like?
A mess.
Well, imagine a world where nobody has any principles.
What would that world look like?
Looks kind of like Minneapolis right now, doesn't it?
Nobody's operating with any principles.
So it's not just that we ourselves are trying to achieve some kind of higher moral standard, although that's important.
But it's also because we want to live in a world where there's some fundamental standards that are shared by others.
Because the way we act toward the world is also, to a great extent, reflected back to us by others.
And we don't want to live in a world filled with murderers and rapists and violent people.
And so it's important that we don't act in those ways either, ourselves.
If we act with fundamental recognition of other people's human rights, then we respect them.
We don't harm them.
We don't try to enslave them, for example.
We don't do crazy things to hurt other people because we recognize that there are fundamental principles of humanity at work here.
When those principles are abandoned, then it allows people to do all kinds of crazy things that harm other people, such as committing acts of violence against them or kidnapping them or trafficking them or stealing from them or trying to enslave them or whatever the case may be.
And we don't support any of those things.
So my message to conservatives and Christians especially is if you can't function with principles, then stop talking.
AI Bots Lacking Humanity00:10:41
If you are an influencer or a podcaster or you're on social media, if you can't operate with fundamental principles, then you've really got nothing to add to the conversation of modern human civilization.
Because if all you're doing is regurgitating some talking points, we have AI bots that can do that.
We don't need you.
AI bots can churn that stuff out all day.
What AI bots don't have is humanity, fundamental human principles.
And so wherever you are listening to this, if you're tuning in to other influencers or other podcasters, ask yourself, do they have some fundamental system of principles?
Do they have a moral code?
Do they believe in anything?
Or are they just sort of floating with the wind?
Whatever is popular right now is what they're into.
Yeah, I would say turn off those voices if they don't have a moral code.
And I've been very upfront with you about some of the core beliefs that I have, and they've been the same year after year after year, and they will always be the same.
I will always value human life.
I will always see all human beings as equally sharing God's creation.
I'm not saying they all have equal outcomes, but I mean every human being is the same in the eyes of God.
They're all children of God.
And I also have principles of, you know, protecting animals against suffering and abuse and protecting nature and telling the truth and things like that.
I've shared those with you.
And there are many other people out there who actually do have principles, but they're rare.
They are rare.
You'll notice it as you start to pay attention.
And unfortunately, we live in a time when, for example, ICE is spending now $8 million to pay influencers to push pro-ICE propaganda on social media.
Did you know that?
It's kind of like during COVID when the CDC had a billion-dollar budget to push pro-vaccine propaganda.
And they did.
And they paid screenwriters on TV shows and they paid stand-up comics.
And, you know, they had pro-vaccine messages inserted into everything.
Movies and websites and articles and everything you can think of.
They just bought it.
It was payola.
Well, that's happening now with ICE.
So ICE is spending millions of dollars.
And if you listen to influencers, it's pretty easy to tell who's taking that money because they're twisting things.
They don't have principles.
They've been getting a paycheck.
And they never disclose that, by the way.
It's always a secret, you know.
They don't tell you they're taking money from ICE or taking money from DHS or taking money from the CDC or whatever.
They don't tell you that.
So they're deceivers.
You know, of course, I'm not for sale.
No one's even tried to offer me money to change my view on what I'm reporting because they know it would be pointless.
Anybody who's listened to me knows that my values, my principles are not for sale.
That would be the craziest bargain, the craziest cosmic bargain to sell your soul in exchange for fiat currency that's about to collapse anyway.
What would be the point?
That would be the dumbest thing ever.
So no, I'm not for sale.
You may or may not agree with my conclusions, but you always know where I stand.
You always know that I'm coming at these issues from the exact same principles every time.
In fact, you can easily predict what I'm going to say about everything if you simply know my principles.
It's not difficult.
And you'll never hear me suddenly change.
Suddenly, like, oh, you know, on one day, I'm like, oh, we need small government.
And then the next day, no, we need a giant surveillance state.
Yeah, that's never going to happen.
Because even if I were offered money to do that, or even if I were threatened, let's say somebody came at me from the government and threatened, like, we're going to kill you if you keep talking.
Even if I had to go off air, I would never, I would never lie.
I would never have another show and be pro-government.
I would just shut it down if I had to.
I would just say nothing rather than violate my beliefs.
So you can count on me adhering to my moral code, my value system, which is a pro-human system.
It's a pro-Christ system of beliefs, which again, a shocking number of so-called Christian pastors in America do not hold.
I believe in small government.
I believe in personal liberty.
I believe in the Second Amendment.
I believe in the First Amendment, et cetera, the Bill of Rights, the Founding Fathers and their vision. for America.
I believe in these things and it's not just talk.
It's a fundamental pillar of who I am and how I operate.
It's not for sale.
It doesn't change with the weather and it doesn't change with whatever political party is in power.
And yeah, that makes me an outcast of society.
But it's a society of mentally ill, low IQ, you know, zero principled people that I've got nothing in common with them anyway.
So there's no drawback to not being part of that system.
I would much rather be loyal to God and God's teachings and God's principles.
And that's what I stick with.
Okay.
That's what I stick with day in and day out.
It's very simple.
It's not a complicated recipe.
You know, the golden rule, right?
Do unto others.
It's just, it's not complicated.
You want to live in a world of peace and reasonable people, then be a peaceful, reasonable person yourself.
You can go full Gandhi on this.
And I suggest that you do.
You know, you want to live in a world where there aren't radical terrorists from some other religion that are trying to bomb your cafe all day.
Well, stop supporting the bombing of their schools.
You know?
I mean, it's not that complicated.
If you don't want violence to come to you, don't advocate violence against others.
Don't advocate genocide.
Don't advocate war crimes.
Don't advocate bombings.
Don't advocate police gunning down people in the streets.
You know, this matters.
Because it's not just what's happening in this lifetime that matters.
See, I also believe that God's watching.
The cosmos has knowledge of what you're doing.
It's permanently embedded in the fabric of the cosmos, which I also happen to believe is a giant simulation created by our creator, which also is, that's essentially the story of the Bible and especially the book of Revelation, but I'm not going to go into all those details.
But the idea of transcending this place and going to heaven is the idea of exiting the current simulation and then being judged by the creator of how well you did in the simulation.
Okay, so Christians believe that.
Buddhists believe a variation of that.
They believe in reincarnation, like you get multiple lives in the simulation, and then eventually you graduate from it.
Every religion believes this, or nearly every religion has some variation of this.
But your actions in this simulation matter beyond this world.
That's why I urge you to think about the importance of operating with values and principles.
Even if it's unpopular, it's way more important than fitting in or getting a sponsor for your podcast or this or that or having the right number of views or having the right audience.
If you're afraid, oh, if I say this thing that's true, I'm going to lose audience.
Well, so be it.
If you're down to just one listener and it's God, it still counts.
That's the most important listener.
You can just talk to God, and that could be your whole podcast.
And it matters more than any influencer that's out there with billions of views who's just lying all the time.
That doesn't count for anything.
You see what I mean?
So it comes down to a value system and understanding what's actually important, what actually has value.
And truth has value.
Principles have value.
Morals have value.
And fiat currency has no value, especially after this simulation.
You think God takes cash?
No.
You think the dollar works in heaven?
Uh-uh.
Nope.
It won't even work on earth in a few more years.
It's going to be worthless.
So those are my words of advice.
Take it or leave it.
But I hope this has given you something to think about.
And understand that when you are a good person and a principled person, you will not be liked by most of society because that's not what society wants.
They want obedient people who can be easily manipulated into doing evil things, like supporting genocide or supporting shootings or whatever.
That's literally what most of society wants.
So actually being rejected by these institutions of society is that's a positive check mark on the resume of your soul to say, yep, I was rejected by the Satanists.
I was rejected by the violent coercion pushers.
I was rejected by the authoritarians.
I was rejected by the genocidal lunatics.
I was rejected by the liars, the deceivers, the child traffickers, the mutilators.
Vagus Nerve Healing00:15:28
I was rejected by them all.
And God will say, well, that's great.
You get an A. You win.
You pass.
You just beat the simulation because you rejected all the evil all around you.
Instead of trying to be popular, you tried to be righteous.
That's what matters more than anything else.
So thank you for listening.

God bless you all.
Take care.
I was an addict.
I was addicted to a prescription pain medication.
I was addicted to Xanax.
I was addicted to alcohol.
Those were the main three.
And then after the injury, it got exponentially worse.
It had nothing to do that I was a bad person.
It was literally that my frontal lobe, which most brain injuries are to the front of our brain, the control center was damaged.
And so it wasn't shutting off behavior and sending the right signals to the rest of my brain.
When I learned how to strengthen the front of my brain and boost my dopamine levels naturally over time, everything honestly changed for me.
Welcome to Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, and today we've got an amazing interview for you.
And if it feels like 2026 already slapped you upside the head and gave you a concussion, well, we have the perfect guest for you today.
It's Dr. Brodie Miller, who is the co-creator of an amazing course called Addiction Rescue.
But we're going to talk about much more than just addictions.
We're going to talk about mental trauma, how to heal, how to recover, much more today with Dr. Miller.
So welcome to the show, Dr. Miller.
It's an honor to have you on today.
Yo, I'm super stoked to be here, Mike.
Appreciate it.
Well, it's great to have you on.
This is the first time that we've met and spoken, but I'm so excited to have you here because I would say that right now, this is the most mentally challenging time for a lot of people for a variety of reasons, economic relationships, you know, uncertainty, things like that.
Can you give us your overview?
Well, first, how about can you introduce yourself to our audience?
What it is that you do, your focus, and then give us context of what you're seeing in the world.
Yeah, I would love to.
So, what I do is specialize in concussion and brain injury recovery as a natural way.
And what I mean by naturally is the natural ability of the brain to heal itself.
And I originally got into that because I myself experienced a very traumatic brain injury 12 years ago.
And so, I was outside of a nightclub and I ended up getting in a fight with a bouncer.
And that was the starting point to my own recovery.
And so, I got knocked out and I experienced a severe traumatic brain injury.
And unfortunately, over 100,000 people ended up finding it went viral on social media.
And eventually, that led to a brain bleed.
And it was causing me to have grand maul seizures.
And because of that, I had about three grand maul seizures on top of the memory loss, on top of the anxiety and the depression.
And so, what we thought at that time was to the best thing to do was to get brain surgery.
They cut open my brain, they removed that, this cavernous malformation, basically a benign brain tumor.
And like thinking as if that was going to fix my issues, that it would stop the seizures.
So, we were very optimistic at that time.
And it didn't.
And so, some more time went on, Mike, and I was on all kinds of these horse pills, these seizure meds like Kepra, Depacote, et cetera, et cetera, that had all of these side effects.
And it didn't stop the intensity or frequency of my seizures.
Wait, wait, how frequently were you having these seizures?
I was having about three a month.
And so, when I would have one, you have a grand maul, you lose consciousness and you'll hit your head on the floor.
So, I would have even more concussions because of that, or it hit my nose, etc.
And if something's not stopping the intensity or frequency of what it is you're trying to stop, you start to second-guess things with all of those different side effects.
And those side effects, as I understand it, from what I've studied, the anti-seizure medications can be extreme in side effects, including radical mood changes as well.
Is that some of what you experienced?
It is.
And in fact, this is why I ended up co-creating this course with Sean Cohen because I took a medicine.
I was actually in a drug rehab center, and I was taking this medication called Kepra.
And I had such a severe mental reaction breakdown that they ended up having to take me to a psych ward for a couple nights.
So it was that severe of a reaction to Kepra.
So then, how did you make it through all of this?
And now you are a doctor of naturopathy.
So I'm assuming you've wanted to figure out how to heal yourself.
Exactly.
It started probably similar to how your journey started.
It was kind of a rock bottom point.
And I knew deep down in my gut that there had to be something better out there, that there had to be something.
And so eventually it led me to watching a YouTube video with Tom Billieu and Dr. Joe Dispenza.
And Dr. Dispenza was talking about how we have 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day and that 90% of those are the same exact as the same as the day before.
And not only that, that if you could change your thinking, that you could start to change your life.
And so that hit me like a ton of bricks.
And so all of a sudden, I was no longer a victim, somebody who had a broken brain or somebody that needed to be on medications for the rest of my life.
And it was like, okay, well, step by step, what can I do?
Start with food, meditation, breathing exercises, just general exercise, brain health exercises, anything I could get my hands on.
I just became a learner.
I became, now I'm a lifelong learner and I'm proud of that.
And a teacher to others.
But were you able to then, over time, eliminate all the medication, eliminate all the seizures, and restore your brain health?
Yeah, I'm proud to say I'm now completely, I'm two years seizure-free.
And that's like a miracle to me.
And the last thing that I found that helped me immensely was a vagus nerve stimulator because I reduce my seizures to about once every nine to 10 months, but I was still having one.
But now I'm two years free since I've been using this vagus nerve stimulator.
Wait, so tell us about this vagus nerve stimulator.
Is it a device?
It's a device.
So I pull it up right here.
I don't have any affiliation to the company, although I'm friends with the CEO of the company.
It's called Truvaga, a vagus nerve stimulator.
And you spray a couple on your vagus nerve and then you stimulate it for about, you know, basically electrically stimulate your vagus nerve for only two minutes.
What, per day?
I had some breakthroughs.
Two minutes in the morning, two at night to start.
I see.
I mean, it's non-invasive, natural product, and safe.
Wow.
Well, that's remarkable.
And, you know, people having a lot of problems with vagus nerve function because they're taking like GLP-1 injections that are also paralyzing the vagus nerve, which is not good.
Correct.
And you think about how stressful times are today.
We're mostly all stuck and sometimes myself included in fight, flight, freezer, fawn.
And this was one of the fastest things that I found to get my nervous system and vagus nerve back in a parasympathetic state.
So I found it immensely helpful.
Well, okay, that's really fascinating.

And I strongly recommend that you check this out.
And this is about much more than just sort of standard addictions.
Maybe that's the wrong term, but common addictions.
Can you talk about that, Dr. Miller?
This isn't just for people who have alcohol, gambling, sex addictions, shopping addiction.
This is about much more than that.
People can be addicted to just bad behavior or bad thinking, correct?
Behavioral addictions, exactly.
And there's so everybody thinks of addiction.
They think of hard drugs.
They think of alcohol, maybe gambling or pornography.
But when you think about it, we're all addicted to something.
Some are addicted to work, sugar, pain pills.
We're talking, you know, you could go on and on, sleeping medications, even just to negative thinking in those types of patterns because it's all wired in the brain.
And one of the biggest revelations I ever had was that my addiction was not a character issue.
And God's honest truth is that it was a brain health issue.
And then when I was able to fix my neurology, suddenly I was able to control my impulses and my cravings.
It doesn't happen overnight, but we talk about in this course how to reset your dopamine naturally through foods, through education, through emotional regulation and mental exercises that you can do to rewire how this is working.
Yeah, that's really important for people to hear.
And I don't mean to pry, but are you willing to share with our audience?
Because they may be challenged with the same things that you went through, but what addiction did you did?
You have a substance addiction before?
Are you willing to share that?
Absolutely.
Because it's part of my story and it's going to help others.
So even prior to the accident where I was involved with that bouncer, I was an addict.
I was addicted to a prescription pain medication.
I was addicted to Xanax.
I was addicted to alcohol.
Those were the main three.
And then after the injury, it got exponentially worse.
My risk, my behavior became erratic.
And I took even more drugs.
And to be honest with the people that are listening, I have overdosed a few times in my history.
But the fact is that when I realized it was, it had nothing to do that I was a bad person.
It was literally that my frontal lobe, which most brain injuries are to the front of our brain, the control center was damaged.
And so it wasn't shutting off behavior and sending the right signals to the rest of my brain.
So when I learned how to strengthen the front of my brain and boost my dopamine levels naturally over time, everything honestly changed for me.
Wow.
And that's then what you teach, or a big part of what you teach, is how to restore brain function.
That's, yeah, that's the nuts and bolts of what we teach in that course.
You know, you can, in only 15 minutes a day, you can educate yourself while you're going to work or driving.
We have a real seven-step process that you can use to start to get your dopamine levels back on a natural, natural threshold because dopamine levels, most people will spike their dopamine levels through like social media, but then what comes up must come down as well.
So it's about all about increasing that threshold naturally over time.
I see.
Okay.
Well, I do want to talk to you about my addiction to vibe coding soon.
But first, I want to ask you, there is a behind you, there's a skull on the shelf.
And that skull is kind of bothering me.
I'm wondering, what is what's it there for?
What is that?
That's a great question.
So I have two things behind me.
I have the skull and I have a brain.
And the reason is, is when I'm explaining to the people I talk to, I talk about head impact, how the front of the skull is digital and it shakes the brain violently back and forth rapidly.
And that's what causes a brain trauma.
And so this could have been me.
So it's also a reminder to me to take life seriously because it is.
That's a pretty creepy skull.
It's got some pretty dark hollow eye sockets right there.
It's like a Halloween skull.
Yeah, I have to admit, it is a little creepy, but for educational purposes, it definitely makes the point.
Okay, understood.
And yeah, I didn't see the brain behind you because that was blocked by your head.
So now it makes sense in context.
Yeah, I got it.
So how frequent or how common is it that people suffer a traumatic kinetic injury and then they either take on new addictive behaviors or they suffer instant personality changes?
Because I've heard of people instantly acquiring new addictions based on things like organ transplants, which sounds bizarre, but that has happened before.
So what's your knowledge in this area about sort of how quickly things can change?
They can change, you know, in the blink of an eye.
Tiny Changes Sabotage Brain Function00:08:10
We all know that with life.
But the fact is, is there's a high, high, high correlation between addiction and brain injury or brain trauma incidence.
And it makes total sense because behavior becomes erratic.
The control center of the brain, as I mentioned, turns off.
Activity actually gets less in the frontal lobe.
And on top of that, stress, negative stress like a brain injury or an organ transplant actually will really knock us out of autonomic and homeostasis,
which basically means that if we experience a mental, physical, emotional, or even spiritual stressor and it knocks us out of balance, we are way more predisposed to addictions and cravings of their many forms because it's hard to control yourself when you're under that much stress, right?
Yeah.
Well, absolutely.
And my follow-up question to that is, in your knowledge and experience, how much of addictive behavior also stems from people's, for example, feeling of soullessness or a lack of feeling recognized or important in society?
And the reason I ask that is because we have this rise of AI, you know, machine intelligence that is increasingly replacing people out of the workforce.
And those people are losing a big part of their self-identity.
And I'm just wondering what are the interrelationships of those concepts?
Well, when you think about our brain, it's a meaning-making machine.
And it creates meaning off of every incident that's ever happened to us in our lives.
And so if you're dealing with AI and it's stealing people's meanings or sense of purpose or direction, it can be devastating.
I mean, like, quite honestly, my self-esteem used to be awful.
Like, I used to look at myself in the mirror.
I was 195 pounds and I would look at myself in the mirror kind of and hated what I saw because I was taking drugs to numb my feelings and I was headed nowhere.
I was on a highway to hell, basically.
And the fact is, is that your internal self-talk network, the default mode network of the brain can be rewired over time.
You can start to think about yourself in a more positive light through positive thoughts, positive actions, even cultivating positive emotions.
So, what you mentioned is such a key role.
Then, let me extend that.
Let's talk about social media because I believe that social media is extremely unhealthy for the mental health across society.
And, you know, there have been documentaries about that.
There's been a lot of articles about that.
But from your point of view, what do you make of social media and how it's sort of engineered as sort of attention bait to grab your attention, but not to give you meaning?
You know what I mean?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I mean, so social media addiction is huge right now.
I mean, people are scrolling on their phones, sometimes up to five to some, some as high as 10 hours a day.
And it's an automatic comparison algorithm.
You will compare yourself to somebody who lives in Spain in a split second subconsciously.
And that causes hellacious behavior.
And I quite honestly believe that algorithms are manipulated to try to destroy people's self-esteems.
I've seen that time and time again.
Clearly.
So it's kind of like whereas we live in a world of a lot of toxic chemicals and we need to understand naturopathic principles of detoxification, good nutrition in order to protect ourselves from those toxic chemicals.
We also need to do the same thing for our brains, is what it sounds like, right?
Yeah, 100%.
Protect ourselves from the body.
It's input and output.
And so it works that way.
Our bodies as well, our nervous systems, it's input and output.
So if we're consuming a lot of negativity, you are what you consume.
Right, right.
And it seems like, you know, fear is often used as a control mechanism politically, even just population-wide, you know, a lot of fear.
Like every winter, as it is now, the CDC will roll out, oh, super flu is spreading across 40 cities.
Make sure you go take this jab.
And I'm like, just more fear, BS.
It doesn't work on me.
I'm immune to that, but it works on a lot of people.
You know what I mean?
Well, you have to empower yourself in this day and age.
And one of the ways to do that is to start with strengthening your brain connections because even just proactive steps like learning or learning a new language, trying a new hobby, walking, getting sunlight, all of these natural tools that our ancestors already knew about, meditation, breathing.
And that's what we, what I put into this course was just my heart and soul.
Just everything I wish I would have had 10 to 12 years ago so that I didn't have to go through that crazy learning curve.
And Sean and I wanted to make something affordable to people.
Some courses range up as high as 5,000.
Our course is 199.
And if you use that discount that Mike gave, you put Ranger in for a 15% discount on the code, you'll get it for $179.
Oh, that's very reasonable.
It also includes my best-selling book, Brain Rescue, and Sean's book with Dr. Habib, Dopamine Revolution.
And just great information.
And I think it's possible to make tiny changes no matter where you are.
And those tiny changes add up.
You know, by the way, thank you for putting all this together and give my thanks to Sean Cohen also, because he's also been a great educator, just a tireless champion for people's recovery and, you know, brain balance with dopamine and other methods as well.
But we live in a world that's so difficult for people right now.
And very often people turn to prescription psychiatric drugs.
Now, I've had many other guests on that talk about the dangers of those psychiatric drugs.
But I'd like to have your take on it about what actually happens when a person says, oh, I'm feeling stressed or I'm feeling lethargic or whatever.
So I'm going to turn to this Adderall or something.
Where does that lead people?
You know, such a fantastic question because when you're taking these unnatural medications, essentially it's changing your brain chemicals.
And so all brain chemical changes happen in the short term.
They call it in neuroscience short-term potentiation, which means short-term neuroplasticity.
And over time, that leads to long-term potentiation or long-term neuroplasticity, which means those chemical changes over time are sabotaging the natural way that your brain was born to work.
So I personally am not a fan of medications for 95% of the population.
And I think it's only putting a bandaid over a much deeper root cause issue.
Finger Foods and Brain Chemistry00:15:37
Well, right.
And also they have medicalized the normal range of human emotions, such as feeling sadness.
You know, sadness used to be a commonly recognized emotional state.
You know, if you're a kid and your best friend moves away, you know, you're sad.
Now it's a disease.
Now it's a medical condition.
And the doctor puts the kid on medication.
Oh, have to cure your sadness because sadness is a brain chemistry imbalance.
But that's not true at all.
Not at all.
I mean, we have emotions for a reason, right?
God gave us these emotions for a reason.
It's not always supposed to be high in the sky, fairy dust and, you know, rainbows.
This is life.
And we all go through grief.
We all experience depression, anxiety at times.
But it's how long are you staying in that state?
Right, right.
And when people are able to make these transformations, then I think there's a positive feedback loop.
They start to feel better and then they notice they feel better.
And then they're like, wow, this is working.
Let's do this more and more.
So isn't that also true?
There can be these positive reinforcement loops for healing.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a momentum.
When you think about it, life is all about momentum and the physics of life and the physics of behavior.
That's why I love tiny baby steps or pinky moves in the right direction.
I even tell people to start with something like this, like clasp your hand and put up your pinky and then switch it.
Because I've seen remarkable stories in my own recovery.
It really adds up.
It was the turtle that won the race.
It wasn't the hare.
And these small little incremental steps that don't seem like a lot over a long enough period of time, you know, five minutes a day of reading will add up to over 30 hours of reading if you do the math, which is quite a lot.
I mean, you're not kidding.
So like a couple years ago, I really injured my index finger.
And for rehab, I decided to learn how to do speed cubing just a couple of minutes a day.
Now I just, I can routinely solve cubes in 30 seconds.
That's awesome.
By accident.
I mean, well, it wasn't accidentally.
It was just a few minutes a day.
I would learn like one new pattern per week, roughly, and just practice that pattern and add it to the other patterns until you get to like 50 or 60 patterns.
And then you can logically solve the cube.
But for me, that was just, that was a rehab thing.
This finger, I was like, I just need to move this finger, but it's too boring for me to just like move the finger around.
I need to be like solving a puzzle or something.
You know what I mean?
So that's just an example, though, for people.
There are creative ways to make this fun and interesting and have, you know, a sense of achievement of learning new skills as you go through this process.
Like creative expression for your brain.
Like, what do you do now to boost your mood and express your creativity?
What are the things that you enjoy doing?
I love to, I just love pushing myself.
And I think about this a lot is the, when I think about long-term, how your life turns out is hard now, easy later, easy now, hard later.
And so I try to apply that to my life, but also have fun while doing it.
And I believe that the biggest fulfillment that you get in life is through progress.
When you have that sense of progress, you start to feel good.
It's like a feedback loop, like you said.
I mean, it's not perfection.
I make mistakes all the time, but mistakes are not, they're part of the process.
Mistakes are building blocks to help you get in the right direction.
I failed more times than I can count, and I messed up so bad in my 20s.
But every day, and I honestly, I'm still paying for some of the things I did in my 20s.
But the fact is, is that we can't change the past.
All we can do is take steps into creating a better future for ourselves and our families.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, absolutely.
All right.
I want to ask you, well, first, let me remind people again that you can find the course at rangerdeals.com.

You can purchase the course if you wish, and you can use discount code Ranger to save 15%.
But check out the video there.
Learn about this.
This can be really transformative information in your life.
But next, Dr. Miller, I want to ask you about nutrition and the importance.
See, I have a strong belief, but I mean, this is just my position.
You are free to disagree.
But I think that having a healthy cognitive function is impossible if you don't have good nutrition and detoxification because people are living on toxic poisons galore from fragrance products to seed oils to all kinds of things.
So what do you think about that?
Yeah, exactly.
I think of the brain as a house.
And when you think about if you've experienced a brain injury or a neurological setback like stress, it's like a hurricane that hit the house.
And so how do you rebuild it?
Well, you have to start with nutrition because it's literally the building blocks of your brain health.
It's like the workers that need the supplies to rebuild things.
And if you're ingesting toxins, you're not going to be able to build a solid foundation.
And if you're eating processed foods, McDonald's or alcohol, drugs that are going to sabotage that, how do you ever expect to rebuild things?
Yeah, if your lunch is vodka McNuggets, it's probably not a happy meal, really.
Not really.
No, and I've been there too.
So it's possible to get things better.
Yeah.
But I've also seen, like, for example, I've seen people go into self-help courses that don't help them at all because they don't address the real underlying issue.
So what I appreciate about your course is if you have a dopamine problem, if you have a brain chemistry problem that continues to be exacerbated by some of your lifestyle choices or dietary choices, if you go take a meditation class, that's not going to help you probably.
I mean, this is my opinion.
Yeah, you'll learn how to meditate, but you still have this other problem over here.
And you need to fix the brain chemistry.
You need to fix what's happening and not just mask it and go off into some other area.
What are your thoughts about that?
I mean, as a naturopath, I know certainly you've been trained on this, but it's critical to choose the correct modalities for the current health or mental health issues that you're facing, correct?
Well, I'll push back a little bit because ironically, meditation is what I honestly believe saved my life when I was recovering.
So like, you know what?
I'm sorry.
That's a bad example because meditation does improve the brain chemistry.
So you're right.
I chose a bad example there.
I meant something totally unrelated.
But I chose a bad example.
You're correct.
Thanks for correcting me.
Oh, all good.
Yeah.
I just want to express that you are making a valid point, though, because if you you can't you can't improve your brain chemistry if you're eating the wrong foods, if you're digesting crappy social media, you need to get to the closest point of root cause as causation as possible.
It's like the inception point.
And you want to get as close and perhaps that can be a traumatic incident that we haven't been able to process, like a trauma that our brain still needs help.
So maybe going to therapy at first can be the best thing or journaling.
So you're right.
Perhaps just going into a meditation class blindly may not work for you.
No, but you were right to correct me on that.
And I like that what you're talking about here is there can be cross-benefits on certain modalities, but I've seen things where, for example, people are eating a lot of heavy metals like lead and cadmium and excess copper.
I actually see people taking too much copper because they get it in their multivitamin and then they're getting it from copper pipes and the meat intake and so on.
And they're getting copper toxicity.
And copper toxicity can cause schizophrenia and other mental health issues.
So as a food scientist, one of the first things I say to people is, you know, look, clean up your diet.
Like whatever your mental health challenge is, also clean up your diet because it's going to make everything easier on your journey.
100%.
And just educating yourself a little bit at a time.
You don't have to be a neuroscientist or go all in like Mike does.
You know, little just education can lead to empowerment and understand what foods you're eating and what chemicals they're producing.
Just be breed the labels when you're going to Whole Foods or you're going to Sprouts or Trader Joe's because you might be surprised what's in there.
And once again, if you can't, if you don't have the supplies, how are you going to rebuild the brain?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
I also want to mention to people that I think you need to control your cognitive intake environment.
And I want your reaction about the extreme violence and gore in Hollywood movies and TV shows today, because they are so bloody and violent, depicting very frequently scenes of torture and blood.
It didn't used to be this way.
You know, when I was growing up, movies didn't show that.
Even, you know, Clint Eastwood dirty hairy movies, they weren't gory.
You know, he was shooting people, but you didn't see the blood and guts and everything.
Now it's all over the screen.
Can't even watch it.
And the horror movies, you know, like the crazy depictions of demonic entities and death and demonic possession all over Netflix for kids.
You know, what are the implications of this in your view?
Yeah, such a valid point.
Our brains don't understand the difference between something that we're imagining and that actually happens to us.
So it's all getting processed there.
I mean, especially if you're a child, our brain literally cortisol will spike, adrenaline will spike as if there's actually a threat.
That's why people can, like my grandparents, they got addicted to watching like serial killer type stuff.
It was like an addiction of the sort.
You know what I mean?
And you have to be careful because your brain does not distinguish between that happening just from an imaginary state to actually being there.
It can traumatize you in a way.
Yeah.
So some interesting terminology, binge watching, which is what you're describing.
It didn't used to even be possible because you didn't have all the episodes of a season available to stream right now, right?
You had to wait a week.
But also then this term doom scrolling.
I want you to tell us about doom scrolling.
Well, we're all guilty of it to some extent, but what he's talking about is like going down the social media feed and the algorithm literally is sending you things that are going to spike your cortisol and adrenaline, like bad news.
If you watch a social media post and you're focused on all the crap that's going on in the world, it's going to show you more of that because it wants to suck your attention and time away and have you spend more time there.
So doom scrolling is fear-based scrolling.
So things that scare you and that you're doing without most people doing these things without even recognizing it.
But isn't it kind of interesting though, that, for example, the YouTube algorithm feeds back to you the things that you give attention to.
So if you watch a video about whatever, it's going to feed you more videos about that same topic.
And that's just the algorithm.
But isn't it interesting that also the universe kind of works that way?
So whatever you give attention to, you get more of that feeding back to you, right?
Yeah, and I've seen that was the one of the biggest revelation, another one that I had a revelation was what I realized what I focused on expands and multiplies.
And so if I'm focusing on all of the bad things in my life, sure as heck, I'm going to create more of that.
And that does happen, honestly, because our brain has a negativity bias.
It's a survival instinct to keep us alive.
But like we have to sometimes swim upstream to make sure that we're feeding positivity into our life and focusing on the right things.
And how could people do that more effectively?
Because right now, people are genuinely afraid of certain things, maybe afraid of being replaced by AI or afraid of nuclear world war or whatever.
I mean, I try to tell people, I talk about a lot of issues, but at the end of my podcast, I usually tell people, hey, by the way, you're going to be fine because if you're listening to this, you're already more prepared than one out of 10, I mean, than 9,999 out of 10,000 people, right?
So you're going to be fine.
Don't sweat it.
But yeah, bad things are going to happen in the world, but it doesn't mean it has to consume you.
Yeah, don't put on horsebinders at the end of the day.
And just understand that I used to be a very negative person.
I used to be extremely, I would complain, I would blame, I would point the finger at everybody but myself.
And that led to feeling like miserable.
And don't put on, you don't need to put on horseblers.
You can be aware of what's going on, but always just make sure to refocus to where you do want to go instead of the things that aren't going right.
Okay, so wait a minute.
Focus On Nature00:04:05
Let's let's explore this a little bit more about horse blinders.
But the positive side of that is also selective focus, right?
That's true, yeah.
Right.
So it's important to be the architect of your focus rather than letting external forces determine where your attention is sucked off to.
Does that make sense?
Makes total sense.
When you see an ad, you're being manipulated towards your attention flow.
So our brain has two different types of focus, convergent focus and divergent focus.
But we're talking about that single-pointed focus, not multitasking, but we're talking about that single-pointed focus.
And something as simple as getting a candle and lighting it up and making the room dark and just refocusing your attention and focus on that candle can build your cognitive skills there.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
And I also want to encourage people to practice these attention building skills in the natural world.
So get off the screens, put your phone down, go out into a park or a walk or a forest or your own backyard, whatever it is.
Start to notice nature.
Because to me, that's absolutely fascinating.
I see God everywhere in nature.
I'm always in nature.
I work out in a forest, by the way.
I have like push-up bars and kettlebells in the forest.
I only work out outdoors.
I do not work out indoors starting as like a year ago.
But because I love nature and every time I'm out there, I'm lifting kettlebells.
I notice something else.
Hey, there's a new orange fungi colony over here.
I didn't notice, I didn't see that before, you know?
But isn't this important?
Oh, it's so important.
And just getting out to nature, that natural healing frequency that you're talking about.
AI could never replace human connection.
It could never replace nature.
These are things that were made and can't be created by an outside source.
So you are a part of nature in the ecosystem.
And I love that you do that.
I love that you practice what you preach.
Natural, and nature is part of a natural holistic lifestyle.
Well indeed, but I, I have to say, given we're recording this right before this big storm is going to hit uh Texas, i'm going to be freezing my balls out there uh, lifting frozen kettlebells pretty soon.
Yeah, for sure, but but that's also part of it, you know, it is.
It's like being adaptive at handling hot weather, cold weather.
Uh, sometimes i've had to work out after dark.
I'm literally out there with my headlight and my kettlebells, working out in a forest at night, with coyotes howling around me and my dog just sitting there and we're, we're fine.
Yeah, I don't, I don't, i'm not afraid of coyotes right, but you know, we got to be resilient is my point, and yeah, and that's a, that's something that we can build up right, and that's, I think that's a lot of what your course teaches, or some of it.
You want to talk about that.
Yeah, that's a lot of what our course, uh teaches is mental resilience and emotional regulation, those two things, the ability uh, to have strength in the front of your brain so that you're able to focus better, you're able to have mental flexibility uh, and literally, like you're stretching your brain and creating new connections.
Resilience is everything in life, but how, how much stress we can tolerate and how to be able to re-regulate ourselves uh, to back to homeostasis in a healthy state, got it that?
That makes perfect sense.
Okay, let me uh mention one more time.
Mental Resilience and Emotional Regulation00:04:23
Rangerdeals.com is where you can find this course.
It's called addiction rescue.
It's available for purchase and download right away, and our guest today is dr Brodie Miller, and you want to hold up your book again too, please?
Yeah, I would love to.
Here's my book, a best-selling book, addiction.
I mean a brain rescue, excuse me, a 90-day blueprint to reclaim your memory after a brain injury or a concussion, because a lot of people that suffer with addictions also have experienced brain injuries.
So that's also included in the course.
Uh, with a?
Uh, digital copy of that, with Sean's book uh, Dopamine Revolution oh okay, so like a like a pdf?
Yeah yeah, pdf version of that.
Okay perfect wow, I mean that sounds very valuable.
All right, is there anything else that you would like to add?
I mean, this has been a pleasure speaking with you, and i'm so glad that you're one of those people that was able to learn through your struggles, your injuries, and actually take on a whole new knowledge base that you're sharing with others.
It's it's really inspiring.
What else would you like to add here?
Yeah, the last thing I want to say is neuroplasticity changed my life, the ability of the brain and nervous system to reorganize itself through our thinking feelings, behaviors and habits.
And there's also a neuroplasticity of the heart, so emotional changes that make a huge, big of a difference.
This is all science-based stuff and it changed my life.
I was at the bottom of Bottom, and you can pick yourself back up today and get going on where you do want to go because things can change.
Life can change big, yeah.
And I would add, that was beautiful.
I would add to it that no, no corporation and no government is going to show you how to do that because they don't have your self-interest at heart in their own operations.
Only you have your own self-interest as the highest purpose, right?
Or, you know, the only you value your own yourself and your health more than anyone else.
So, you have to take responsibility for this.
Yes, exactly.
It starts, it starts with responsibility.
And really, there's a lot of things that are dragging us down like a negative rabbit hole, but there's something calling within you, deep within you, at a very cellular level to be greater.
We all have that within us and make sure we have one life to live as far as we know.
Let's make the best out of it, truly.
Yeah, well said.
All right, Dr. Brody Miller, it's been a pleasure.
Appreciate you taking the time to speak with us today, and we'll talk again.
So, absolutely.
Have a great rest of your day.
You as well.
And be careful with that storm out there.
Yeah, believe me, I will.
I'm not going on the roads.
I'm just going into my ranch.
You know, I'm staying off the roads.
But I can handle ice and snow on dirt or whatever.
That's no problem.
But thank you.
