🚨 RED ALERT: Massive Explosion ROCKS Major U.S. Oil Refinery as Iran War Escalates · Man in America Podcast

• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome to Man in America, a voice of reason in a world gone mad. I'm your host, Seth Holehouse. The situation with the war in Iran is accelerating, and it's getting, honestly, quite frightening. Not just because of what's happening in The Middle East, but because of the ripple effect of what we're seeing around the world. Now whether you think that this Iran war is part of some globalist agenda to bring about the acceleration of, you know, the human race into this agenda 2030, where we've got fifteen minute cities and, you know, lockdowns and climate, you know, issues, all those things, whether you think it's a globalist plan, or whether you think it's just the natural thing that's happening because of the Strait Of Hormuz being shut, because of the hit on all the energy plants, etcetera, it doesn't matter what the reason is behind it because what we're seeing happen is exactly that.
• 1:14
  We're seeing that the world is changing very rapidly, and there are a lot of indicators that what we're heading into could be something like a COVID two point o. Now, look, I don't wanna be a fearmonger. I'm not a black pillar. I'm actually a really happy guy. But if you remember back when COVID hit early on, say, 2020, a lot of people were warning.
• 1:37
  They were saying, look, this is a big deal. Alright? And there's a lot of people that just said, no, it's not. Just trust the government. It's two weeks to slow the spread.
• 1:45
  We'll get through it. But we saw that COVID was actually a globally coordinated plan to rapidly advance the human race towards this Agenda 2030, agenda. And so we have to be sober and look at these things, and hopefully like, I hope these things don't play out. I hope that this war ends, and there's no more innocent lives being lost. But we just don't know exactly what's gonna happen.
• 2:10
  And so today's show is gonna be in two parts. The first part, which I'll be very kind of rapid fire getting through this, is looking at the overall situation right now. What are the things I'm watching? What concerns me? Where are we seeing the indicators and patterns of some sort of globalist agenda rolling out?
• 2:25
  What are we seeing here happen on American soil? There's a lot that's happening here that's quite alarming. So I'll look at that. And then the second half of this is actually gonna be an interview where I was actually a guest on Mike Adams' show. So it's a kind of unique opportunity for me to be the person being interviewed instead of me being the person asking questions.
• 2:45
  And so this was an interview that Mike and I did last week, where we talked specifically about preparedness, community building, mindset. We talked about a lot of things. I think they're very, very useful and applicable to the situation that we're seeing right now. So, let's go ahead and just dive in because, as I told you, rapid fire. Let's just get through this.
• 3:05
  Okay. Looking big picture. Okay. So the IEA, the International Energy Agency, had a couple days ago, they released this document, sheltering from oil shocks. It says measures to reduce impacts on households and businesses.
• 3:20
  Now, again, looking at what is the pattern. This is a global agency responding to a crisis with a suggestion for rules and regulations and, in essence, lockdowns. We've seen the same playbook happen over and over and over again. There is some sort of emergency that has global impact, and all of a sudden, these agencies, global, national, etc, we have these agencies coming out and saying, hey, here's the solution. Here's how you stay safe.
• 3:49
  Let's take a look. Just a few things about, you see within this report. Okay, first off, sheltering from oil shocks. Okay, they're telling people, okay, the highlighted parts here, they're pink. Encourage public transport use, alternate day car access in big cities, increase car sharing, lower highway speed limits, drive commercial vehicles efficiently, avoid air travel if alternatives exist, switch to alternative modern cooking solutions.
• 4:21
  Okay? So, these okay, work from home where possible. These are the same kinds of indicators, the same language that we saw heading into COVID. Okay, next page in this. This is the more kind of detailed summary.
• 4:34
  Increase car sharing and adopt efficient driving practices. Car pulling increases car occupancy and relieves road congestion, reducing travel times. Efficient road driving for commercial vehicles, okay. Avoid air travel when alternative options exist. It says, a reduction of around 40% of flights taken for business purposes is feasible in the short term and may with very high participation in work related flight reduction campaigns could reduce jet kerosene demand by seven to 15%.
• 5:05
  So if you study these globalist agendas, you know that what they're trying to do is force us into regions with limited travel. They wanna limit the amount of, access that we have for international travel, even local travel, with the end goal being something really akin to the hunger games where you're in your zone, and you're not allowed to leave your zone unless the state gives you permission. And those zones get smaller and smaller until you get to the fifteen minute cities where the end goal, as they've talked about, is to have people living in these fifteen minute cities where you don't own your car, you have to walk everywhere or take public transport. And these fifteen minute cities are massively, massively built upon mass surveillance systems. So they're complete control grid cities.
• 5:49
  You can see this is the indicator, the language of moving towards that. Okay, continuing where possible switch to other modern cooking solutions, right? So as your propane becomes increasingly constrained, use electric and other alternative message it says, as seen in 2022, governments can intervene with measures to help consumers with their energy bills during price spikes, but fiscal means are limited and that it is a vital that measures target those most in need. So again, here you're saying, okay, hey, the government's gonna take care of you, but the government is actually going to be the person to determine who's most in need. All the language just has my hair standing at the back of my neck.
• 6:32
  Okay, air transport fuels says, I'm talking about why you should cut back on air travel. Okay, they don't want us traveling. That's the thing. They want us locked in our own little cities. So that is just an overview.
• 6:44
  There's lot more to that. But as you can see it, like this is when you have these government or these international agencies putting these reports out, these become the playbooks for all of the national governments to roll out, which is what we're seeing. So what we're seeing, okay, this is, from Maria Zee, fantastic, fantastic, reporter, investigative journalist, great podcast, who says that NSW Australia, which is New South Wales, is calling for COVID style protocols, including fuel rationing and working from home. She says they're going to lock people down. Remember, Australia is a testing ground.
• 7:20
  Okay. So that's the key is if you go back again, look at patterns, look at the patterns, and you can see what's happening. You can see the playbook if you look at the patterns. Don't focus on these isolated events that can oftentimes cloud your judgment. Focus on the patterns.
• 7:33
  And what we saw, Australia was the testing ground. Australia is the Western nation where they are testing a lot of the initiatives that they hope to then bring to the rest of the world. Look at how Australia responded to COVID. Right? My wife is Australian.
• 7:47
  I have family, a lot of family that lives over in Australia. I heard firsthand reports about how this worked. If you're driving across a border between states, they have police checks, right? They get pulled over and the police say, hey, where are you going? Are you you're not allowed to cross over into this other state.
• 8:02
  So Australia is a key place to look for the indicators, and what we're seeing is that this is already starting to happen in Australia. Okay. So here you go. This is the from news.com.au. New South Wales Premier calls for COVID style protocols as fuel crisis explodes.
• 8:19
  He says a key state Premier warns that states can't act alone as hundreds of servos, run dry, and fears grow over what comes next for Aussie drivers. Okay. Now I want to highlight this post from Maria that she put out, and this is really important because Maria is one of the few podcasters that I I trust, like, very strongly. I do ple she's absolutely independent, and she's someone that will just kind of speak to you honestly, and I strive to do that as well with my podcast. But I wanna read this about because this is really important, what she says here.
• 8:51
  She says, People need to understand the danger coming our way, and they've been distracted for too long by entertainment and propaganda masquerading as alt media. It is not in my nature to attack others, and I avoid it at all costs. However, if your favorite influencer or podcaster is not warning you about how this war is accelerating the Great Reset, or at least attempting to understand this aspect, they are not worth the time you spend listening to them. That is such an important point. Okay?
• 9:20
  Such an important point. If the shows that you're listening to are not warning you of this, are not saying, Hey, look, there's some really dangerous patterns emerging, and we should be paying attention to this. So maybe they're warning you, maybe they're asking the questions, but if people are just, you know, you hop on your favorite podcast, and all they're talking about is the recent fight between Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson, and, you know, the recent fight between this person and that person, and what some politician did, that's just a distraction. I'm not saying that people that are just covering that are compromised or evil or bad people, but in my opinion, they're not doing their duty, which is warning the people and staying on top of these things and helping people to understand the threats that are coming. And I look at that as my job as a podcaster.
• 10:04
  I've got a large reach, I reach millions of people every month. And I really look at it as my goal to try to be the watchman to try to say, Hey, look, you know, I'm on the watchtower. I see there's enemies out there. They're coming, Right? They're coming.
• 10:17
  So we gotta prepare for that. That's part of how I look at my job. So she continues, people deserve to know the truth, and at a bare minimum, have someone attempt to warn them about the need to prepare for food shortages, energy shortages, water scarcity, comms, etcetera. The times we are living in are no joke, and the main job of people with a platform is to care about the people who take time out of their precious lives to listen to all of us in earnest. In Australia, people which Maria Z is in Australia.
• 10:44
  In Australia, people are already stealing fuel from others cars. This is a first world country resorting to theft after a very short period thus far of scarcity. None of us in the West have ever lived through real food shortages food shortages. I I think most people haven't. Nobody is accustomed to truly to being truly starving.
• 11:04
  Desperate people tend to do bad things to one another. I hope and pray it doesn't come to that, but there are people out there who do not love their neighbor like some of us do. And the reality is, I agree with her last point there, but I'll say something is that even if you love your neighbor, this is where it gets scary. If a father has a starving family, then it's unfortunate, but you know, the protective nature that emerges, especially of a father, the head of a household, or of a mother, a mama bear, they will do whatever it takes to make sure that their children are safe. And so if you've, if someone has starving kids at home, they might resort to things that they never would be doing in normal time.
• 11:40
  And so just be wary of that. I'm not saying turn on your neighbor, become suspicious, but just be aware of how things happen. If you look at history, you look at what happens during times of extreme food shortages, extreme times of war, of famine, you can see that human behavior changes drastically. And unfortunately, what happens is that it resorts to the much more base primal survival level of thinking. So just be aware of that.
• 12:04
  So continuing, this is looking at Australia. Again, remember Australia is the testing ground. So Australia, this is a post from Jim Ferguson, fuel shortages hit Australia, crime already rising. Australia is starting to feel the pressure. Reports show criminals are siphoning petrol from cars on the streets, 164 petrol stations without diesel, supply disruptions pushing food prices higher.
• 12:27
  This is how it begins. Fuel shortages don't stay at the pump. That's the key. Okay? When fuel shortages happen, when fuel prices spike, everything else gets more expensive and more scarce.
• 12:39
  And that's even in a normal time, right, in a relatively normal time, but here we've got a lot of these things that are stacked on top of each other, okay? He continues, they spread, transport slows, deliveries drop, prices rise, crime follows. So in Australia, businesses are already cutting deliveries, some goods are arriving only twice a week instead of daily, and the officials are now openly discussing fuel rationing. This is not chaos, but it is the early stage of breakdown. Because when fuel becomes unstable, everything else follows.
• 13:10
  And that's what's happening in Australia today, it can happen anywhere next. He has a news report on there that I'm not gonna play for you because he did a good job summarizing it. But it's not just Australia that we're seeing this. We just saw in Philippines, the president of Philippines has just declared a national energy emergency, okay. South Korea has just announced mandatory fuel rationing.
• 13:33
  So, government vehicles at public institutions are barred from operating one day a week, one day each week on a five day license plate rotation. So again, South Korea is, they've now announced mandatory fuel rationing. So he says that South Korea imports 73 to 83% of its oil from The Middle East. Every barrel transits through the Strait Of Hormuz. That Strait is closed.
• 13:58
  So this is natural reaction. So this is very serious. Okay, EU. So Slovenia becomes the first EU country to introduce fuel rationing. So what we're seeing is we're seeing the early signs of this.
• 14:11
  Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me, and I hope it doesn't happen, but within the next couple of weeks, we might see the same thing happening in America, where they come out and they say, look, hey, it's it's your patriotic duty to support the war. As we've already seen, there's these propaganda campaigns. Hey, short term pain for long term gain. It's your patriarch duty to pay more for the pump to support the war to protect us from nuclear bombs. You're seeing the same campaigns happen over and over again.
• 14:35
  So would this be coming to United States or other Western countries? I think there's a very good chance of it. Now, that's just looking at what's happening with the fuel, but there are some other things that are happening that are maybe independently you could look at these things and say, okay, maybe in isolation that's not an abnormal event. But when you look at some of the other things that are happening, especially here on US soil, it's easy to see that there's a pattern, and that this points to some sort of larger campaign of creating instability. The timing of this is too difficult to ignore.
• 15:07
  Like it's just it's, it's kind of crazy. So right now, I'm not sure if you're familiar with this, but one of the nation's largest forest fires is actually happening, or wildfires is happening right now. So there's a I'll first show you a little bit of the video of it down here. So this is in Nebraska.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm not
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: sure if you've heard about this, it's not getting a whole lot of coverage, but there is a massive wildfire that is just absolutely decimating Nebraska. So let me read a little bit about this. Okay, and this is from MJ Truth, great guy. He's, you know, he does a lot wonderful content, recommend you follow him. He says, America is under attack under the guise of climate change.
• 15:45
  So nearly 1,000,000 acres are on fire in Nebraska, the largest in state history, and the ranchers are devastated. So this is what's key, okay, because you look at the indicators that show that there are different levels of attacks that will be affecting our supply chain, our food supply, energy supply, etcetera. What he says here is that the fires have burned critical Sand Hills Prairie and grazing land support, the land that's supporting between 35,040 head of cattle. So Nebraska is the number two US cattle producing state. So it's destroyed fencing, stockpiled hay, and some structures.
• 16:24
  Livestock deaths appear minimal, but herds are displaced. Long term, soil sterilization in spots that may require reseeding, ranchers are facing multi year, rebuilds, and the recovery of native grassland could take years. Many ranchers are now seeking alternative pasture supplemental feed or forced sales. This is the key port part here. Bottom line, it hits the ranchers hard, livelihood in operation, and ripples into The US beef supply and food prices at a vulnerable time.
• 16:54
  He says this is part of a globalist plan, which I happen to agree with. Now, that's just one thing. This is the big thing. Okay? This is what when I saw this, I think it was last night, I saw this news come out.
• 17:07
  This is what made my stomach churn. We know that in the back and forth between The US and Iran, that, you know, Trump is making threats, he's giving them ultimatives, Iran is likewise countering. They're not backing down. They're actually stepping up. Trump tries to negotiate peace.
• 17:23
  Israel then goes and bombs. It creates this doom cycle where at every step, regardless of what kind of external pressure there is to dial things back, it keeps accelerating. So Iran has specifically said that we're gonna start targeting energy infrastructure. Now, this right here, okay, this is the Valero Port Authority Refinery. It's one of the largest refineries in The United States.
• 17:49
  Okay, so let me, I'll play a couple of these videos. Okay, this is the refinery. Don't need the extra sound there. Okay, so that refinery is up in flames. So let me give some details of what happened.
• 18:06
  So the Valera Port Authority refinery is one of the largest in The United States. The facility processes roughly 395,000 barrels of crude oil per day, making a critical piece of America's fuel supply chain. So Port Arthur sits along the Gulf Coast refining corridor that handles nearly half of all US refining capacity. This comes at the worst possible time. The Strait Of Hormuz is effectively closed.
• 18:32
  Iraq declared force majeure on all of its oil production. The Qatar's LNG hub is damaged. Global crew is above a $100 a barrel. It says in The US, just authorized sales of Iranian and Russian oil to keep markets from spiraling further. Even a temporary shutdown of a facility this size tightens domestic fuel supply at a moment where Americans are already paying $3.90 plus at the pump.
• 18:55
  If repair takes weeks, gas prices in the Gulf Coast region could spike ahead of the rest of the company country. So there's just some various videos here. Basically, what happened is, I think it was late yesterday, there was a massive explosion at this oil processing facility. Okay. There's there's lots of different videos.
• 19:12
  We can see this happening. You can see the explosion. I mean, was a massive, massive explosion. They've told residents to shelter in place as this huge fire burns. Okay.
• 19:23
  So this was kind of late yesterday when this explosion happened. Now, is this just a coincidence? Okay. These things do happen. Okay.
• 19:31
  Even during times of peace, there are still a handful of explosions that happen at these refining locations every year in America. It's dangerous. It's there tend to be potential things that can happen, safety violations, whatever it is, that can cause this to happen. So you might ask yourself, okay, look, does this relate to Iran? Does it relate to the war?
• 19:51
  Or is it just a coincidence? Now, you know, I don't want to just be one that says, hey, everything's a conspiracy. Okay. So let's look at Felix and Ammunition, who was highlighting this. So he's commenting on it.
• 20:02
  There's another video. You can see the smoke was billowing from the refinery in Port Arthur, Texas following the reports of an explosion. So Felix Ammunition who says, could be terrorism, but more likely an industrial accident. He says that when all of a sudden oil is $98 a barrel and you're running these three shifts twenty four seven, possibly with a bunch of new hires in various roles, things go wrong very easily. When things go wrong in an oil refinery, you're almost guaranteed to have a fire at a minimum, often an explosion.
• 20:30
  The only question is how big it will be and how expensive it will be. Usually pretty big and usually the hundreds of millions, plus potentially years of time lost in cleanup and reconstruction. So again, he's making a valid point and saying that, yes, this could have been a pure accident. It could have been that with the oil prices spiking, that they're running three shifts around the clock, new hires, it's easy for things to go wrong. That's potentially true.
• 20:57
  But when you take us look back and you look at all the things happening, you look at Iran threatening to take out oil infrastructure or energy infrastructure in the, company countries that are involved in attacking it, whether it is the allies that we have over in The Gulf or what or sorry, over in The Middle East, or whether it is, you know, our own nation, things are heating up. They're getting pretty serious. Now, here's what's crazy about this. Okay. I'd be willing to say, maybe it was an accident.
• 21:25
  I'd be more likely to say though that given the timing, given the the back and forth between Iran and Trump, it's more than likely not an accident. Now, am I saying that it was Iran? Maybe not. I mean, it could have been it could have been our own military that did this. Okay?
• 21:40
  And I'm not saying our own kind of like our own troops or anything, but it could have been our own agencies. It could have been Israel. It could have been some sort of false flag event. We don't know who's doing these things. So I think that a lot of times these instances are examples of false flag events.
• 21:54
  Right? So as much as they wanna maybe they're gonna blame it on the Iranians, just like they're blaming nine eleven on some terrorist that was CIA, and okay. Let's not go there. Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, our world is being poisoned.
• 22:09
  Every day, we're exposed to more chemicals sprayed into our skies, leaching into our food, and polluting our air and water. From pesticides and heavy metals to hormone disruptors and synthetic additives, these toxins are bombarding our bodies and silently destroying our health. But there's something you can do to fight back, and it starts in your gut.

• 23:41
  Anyway, I wanna point this out to you though. This is really, really crazy. So this is a post from Amuse. He says, coincidence? A Saudi ex account posted a specific threat against the Port Arthur Motiva Refinery one hour before the nearby Valero explosion in the exact same city.
• 24:03
  He then deleted that post in all 4,700 of his previous tweets immediately afterwards. So this is crazy. Okay. So an hour before this explosion at the Port Arthur in Texas, this person, this Al Heba, which has now deleted all of his tweets and people are trying to investigate and see who this person is, He put this post out an hour before it happened. He said within a week, the largest gas refinery in The United States, Motiva Enterprises in the city of Port Arthur, Texas on the Gulf Coast will be destroyed.
• 24:37
  Save the tweet. So now this is I've checked this. I've validated it. This is this was a real tweet. Sometimes you have these fake screenshots that people edit, and they'll make it look like something a screenshot was being shared, but you find out the tweet never actually happened.
• 24:52
  This was a real tweet. So again, an hour before the explosion on one of the most important crit and critical oil processing facilities in The United States, an hour before that happened, some random account on x that is tied his profile ties him back to Saudi Arabia, which could be anywhere. He could have been sitting in the Pentagon. Right? You can use VPN to mask where you're actually at.
• 25:15
  You can make it look like you're anywhere. But what we know is that his account was was presented as being from Saudi Arabia. So an hour before this attack, he puts this tweet out that says within a week, the largest gas refinery in The US, the Motiva Enterprises in the city of Port Arthur, Texas on the UF Gulf Gulf Coast will be destroyed. Save the tweet. So this is what makes me think that this wasn't just some random accident that happened.
• 25:43
  There's got to be, there's something behind this. Again, whether it was Iran, whether it was Israel, whether it was the CCP, whether it was our own CIA, I don't know who did it, we probably never will know. But you can't ignore the patterns, and you can't ignore these signs that we're seeing. Now on top of that, this is also extremely concerning. Okay, we're talking about what's happening here on domestic soil.
• 26:08
  This is a post from Geiger Capital who says, holy crap, unknown drones are now flying over our largest military bases on US soil, and we can't stop them. It's not an exaggeration to say we've been completely infiltrated at this point. Okay. Now, look at this. This is a, post from an ABC News article.
• 26:28
  Now, keep in mind, this is during this war, okay, they said between March 2026, the BAFB security forces observed multiple waves of 12 to 15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line with aircraft displaying non commercial signal characteristics, long range control links, and resistance to jamming. Okay, so the flights lasted for around four hours each days, each day, and the drones used varied routes of in of ingress and deliberate maneuvering within restricted airspace. So again, I think a lot of Americans think, hey, look, we're safe. This is America. They have a normalcy bias or a call to the dissonance that makes the makes you think that, hey, you know, America's always gonna be okay.
• 27:19
  This is America. We're the greatest empire ever on earth. We'll never have anything wrong happen here in America, which is that mentality, which I think has been purposefully bred into our population through social engineering, go back to Bernays, etcetera. That mentality is what has left a lot of Americans woefully unprepared is we think that because things have been normal in our life for a long time, that it will stay normal. Right?
• 27:43
  They call that normalcy bias. You have a bias towards what's normal. But that normalcy bias can cause you to have massive blind spots when you're looking at potential threats to your own safety, your own homeland, etcetera. So, again, what we're seeing here, if you look at the attack on the oil, refinery or the explosion that might be an attack that has some weird things behind it, you look at the massive fires that are happening in Nebraska wiping out critical farmland that is, you know, feeding the cows that feed our population. Then you look at this, that you have these drones that are unidentified drones that are resistant to to jamming.
• 28:19
  Right? So these are drones flying over our own military bases that somehow we can't jam these drones. This is, you know, again, it's easy to think, oh, America, our technology is so advanced and we're so superior. Well, we're not that superior because these drones are flying around critical air force bases and security bases, and we can't even stop them. And we have no idea what they're doing there.
• 28:42
  So again, these are just some indicators that there is some crazy stuff that's happening. And again, if your family, if if COVID didn't teach you about this, if these indicators haven't shown you something, I hope if anything, that this can be a wake up call that more Americans start to take preparedness more seriously. Like, I don't know, like, you know, I've been preparing pretty hardcore since 2020. So I feel relatively safe. I've got a lot of backup energy sources.
• 29:13
  I've got a lot of backup food, a lot of different preparations. But unfortunately, a lot of Americans don't live in that situation. A lot of Americans are living just in a big city or in the suburbs. Maybe they've got a couple of weeks worth of food left, and that's it. They maybe don't have backup energy.
• 29:28
  And look, the thing is, is that if you don't have backup energy, or if you're just relying on going to your faucet and turning on your faucet and getting drinking water, well, if the energy grid goes down, that drinking water disappears. So what happens if you can no longer get that drinking water from your own faucet, and you don't have a well, you don't have any rainwater harvesting, you don't have access to natural water, like a river, and you don't have ways of purifying that water. This is what creates absolute mass chaos. So I hope that people can just be very aware of this. Now, I just want to kind of show you a few things that just a few pointers in terms of preparedness before I jump into the interview with Mike Adams, I was on Mike Adams show.
• 30:05
  One thing is, let me, pull this up. I think the number one recommendation, if you want to understand preparedness, the first thing you need to do is just assess your own level of preparedness. Find your gaps, find your loopholes, right? Every family in America should be sitting down right now, having a conversation and saying, okay, if the grid goes down, if the supply chain supply chain gets attacked and grocery stores don't have food anymore, If any of these things happen, if we can't go get gas at the gas station, what are we going to do about it? What are our vulnerabilities?
• 30:39
  So something that I did is that created a website where it's called readyscore.com, it's free. I'm not selling you a service for this, you can literally just go on there for free, readyscore.com. So what this is, is this is a family preparedness test, okay. So what you do, there's two different tests I put on here. There's one which is an 11 question test, which will take about two minutes or so, and there's one it's a little bit longer, which will take you about eight or ten minutes.
• 31:04
  But the it's a test, it's a very simple test, I'll show you how it works, okay. Basically, it allows you to find your gaps before crisis hits. The test covers these 11 key areas: water, food, energy and shelter, health and hygiene, communication, security, community, planning, mindset, finance, and location. So what you do, you go to readyscore.com, you click that button. Now I've already started the test, so it kind of loaded my previous test results.
• 31:31
  But if you can kind of scroll back and forth, you go through here, and you could take the test, you can choose, I already started, so it kind of gave me, I'm already in the 40 question test. But again, there's an eight minute test, and there's like a two minute test. You just go through and it's asking you questions, okay? Ask where do you currently live? What's your, you know, what's your mindset surrounding this?
• 31:52
  How much supplies do you have? What, how do you interact with your neighbors? So there's different questions on here that really help to assess what is your overall situation. Like here's one for instance, if your stored water ran out, could you make water from natural sources safe to drink? It's a good question, right?
• 32:09
  So previous question for that, how many days of drinking water do you have stored for your entire household? Water is your most critical resource, the average person can survive only three days without it. Okay, how many days of drinking water do you have? You might say, a few days worth, I've got some bottled water. Okay, now it says if your stored water ran out, could you purify natural water sources?
• 32:30
  You say, ah, no, actually, I don't have any way of purifying water, Right? Some people during these crises, like they literally have to walk two miles every day with buckets to bring water back to their homes. That's just how it works. But if you're going to a local, river, or a pond, or whatever it is to get water, and if you're not purifying it, you're extremely vulnerable to waterborne illnesses. So here's a question, if your store water runs out, can you purify it?
• 32:56
  So for me, I would say, yes, I'd say I have multiple redundant methods plus I know proper techniques, right, bleach ratios, boil times, etc. It gets into hygiene. So anyway, this is a test I highly recommend you just go do it, you can take a two minutes or eight minutes. It gives you a full assessment once you finish it, finish, it gives you a ready score, and it says, okay, hey, these are your three critical areas, right? So these are the areas you should focus on first.
• 33:21
  So highly, highly recommend that. The other thing is that I really if one of the important things in addition to water is looking at your food store, okay? You have to be asking your question of how much food do I have stored? Now, maybe you've got a bunch of seeds for growing a garden. Hey, that's great.
• 33:38
  That's really good. But if you've never gardened before, I, you know, I've spent many years gardening, and you've learned that it's not as easy as you think it is. So just having a bucket of seeds, a while it's great for long term, it's really important. Like one thing that I've got is, I've got a bunch of things. So I've got, you know, heaven's harvest, who I get a lot of my survival supplies from, they've got these seed buckets.
• 34:01
  So you can get one of these seed buckets. This little bucket right here, like honestly, what could feed a village. The amount of seeds that are in here could feed a small village, and these have a very long shelf life. But that's only one one part of it is the ability to grow food. Now you can also get, you know, like freeze dried food supplies, this again, this is Heaven's Harvest, this is butter, right?
• 34:20
  This for instance right here, this is two zero four servings of butter. It's freeze dried, it's in powdered form, you reconstitute with water. This has up to a ten year shelf life, and that's just what they list. It probably has closer to a twenty year shelf life. So these number 10 cans, this is what will save you, okay?
• 34:37
  On top of that, you have the good old MREs, okay? If you've been in the military, you know all about MREs, meals ready to eat. These are really good. They have heating things within them. So if you've got, you know, say two weeks worth of these for every member in your family, that's a good place to be.
• 34:54
  Right? And don't think you have to go out and spend all your money and get a year's worth of food. Even if your goal is just to have one month worth of storable food, like one month of food, you're already really, really well off, and that will most likely last through most disasters. Most disasters are not prolonged. Maybe it's gonna be two weeks, maybe it's gonna be four weeks.
• 35:12
  So if you can just aim to get at least a month worth of storeable food, you're in a great place. So you've got MREs, these are good. The unfortunate thing is these, they taste kind of like junk, and the ingredients are terrible in these, but again, it's calories. Again, I mentioned heaven's harvest, you know, do your own research, can buy, there's all kinds of different survival food store, places you can get food at. I like heaven's harvest because I know the owner, he's amazing Christian patriot, but their food is really, really high quality.
• 35:42
  And so they've got on their website, heavensharvest.com. Again, doesn't matter whether you use heavens harvest or any other website. This is the one that I've, through my own research, I've decided to go with heavens harvest because I like their quality. You can get these survival food kits. You can get the, so if you go to food, so they have also their own self heating kits.
• 36:01
  I've also got a bunch of these. So these are kind of like they're basically the same thing as an MRE. Like you open it up, it has your heat pack, it has your different, instructions for making it. They're way higher quality than the MREs are. So in terms of just the extra quality of food that you're feeding your family.
• 36:15
  So they've got these MRE packs. They've got, you know, big food buckets, you can get organic food buckets. So if you want to get organic food kit, which, know, we try and make everything, organic if we can. They accept gold and silver, so that's really awesome. Like I love that about this company that they're true patriots, they will accept gold and silver.
• 36:33
  They've got seed kits, like the one I showed you. So you can come on here and you can get individual seeds, or you can get the actual seed kits. So they have the heirloom seed kits right here. So you can get that's the the bucket I showed you, think is just this, the seed share kit, which is when you can pass out to your neighbors. But you can get like this, for instance, it's $139 you can get a massive seed kit right here.
• 36:57
  So this these are all the seeds in here. Heirloom, so that means heirloom means that you can actually harvest the seeds and reuse them next year. If you're buying seeds only by heirloom, right? If you're buying seeds that aren't heirloom, what it means is that you can't use your seeds year after year. That's how this seed kit, as an heirloom seed kit, after a couple of years, you're multiplying every seed that you plant that grows into a plant produces all the fruit that has even more seeds.
• 37:23
  If you know how to harvest those seeds, you can literally fill fill feed an entire village off of these seeds. So you have the seed kits. You do get a promo code, think it's if you use promo code Seth, s e t h, on heaven's harvest, you get 15% off. So, again, 15% off your entire order if you use promo code Seth, s e t h. They've also got here for water, they have water purification tools, you have these ultra press bottles, these are fantastic.
• 37:49
  It's kind of like a French press, you can pour muddy water into there, you can actually filter it and drink it. They're reusable, they go for a lot. So they've got some water filtration solutions, they've got the portable water filters here that you can use. Make sure you have ways of purifying your water. These are some great options here.
• 38:07
  Can also get the life straw. Life straws are really good as well. And, Heaven's Harvest, they also have these water bricks. So these water bricks are really, really good for storing water, they stack, they're easy to carry. You can get, different size, you can get a pack of say 16 water bricks, a pack of four water bricks, they store really well.
• 38:26
  So again, now if you are storing water, make sure that you are looking, actually right here for instance, they say, preparing containers. So, you wanna sanitize them, but also, and do your own research on this. When you fill up your water, you want to treat it with something, okay. So right here it says, if the water you're using comes from a well or a water source that isn't treated with chlorine, add two drops of non scented liquid household chlorine bleach to each gallon of water. Okay, that just makes sure that when you know, in six months, when you go to access your water, it doesn't it's not full of algae or any any stuff like that in there.
• 39:00
  So a little bit of bleach in there will make sure that your water is secure. Another thing to think about, so we got food and water. Medicine is a whole thing, we're not gonna be getting into that. Again, this isn't an entire episode of preparation, it's kind of looking at some of the basics. One of the big things, if the lights go out, what do you do?
• 39:16
  This right here is my number one recommendation for you, okay? Get yourself a couple of oil lamps. You can find them on Amazon, you can find them anywhere. This company called, Dietz, d I e t z, right, you can find these, it's an old school company, they make these for a very long time. I forget, you know, whatever, but anyway, these are a really, really efficient way of providing light to your home.
• 39:40
  You can then get these, and if you then go buy a, right here, I'll show you, I just do a search for this what we have, I think we've probably got maybe 15 gallons or 20 gallons of this, paraffin wax. So you get your paraffin wax, you pour it in here, this becomes your light source. This is a great light source. So obviously, if you've got, you know, battery powered lanterns, like this guy right here, these are good. So make sure you have not just flashlights, but you want to have other ways of providing light inside your home.
• 40:10
  Lanterns are great. The problem with this, this is just like a simple Rayovac lantern. The problem is it runs off of batteries. So if you don't have a solar setup, and if you don't have battery chargers or rechargeable batteries, then you're run you're burning through a limited supply of energy if you're using battery powered flashlights and lamps. So I've got a bunch of rechargeable batteries, I've got multiple solar generators.
• 40:33
  So that's how I've been able to make sure that, you know, I can have somewhat of an unlimited supply of batteries, because I can recharge the batteries as I use them. Of course, they go bad after a while, but you know, we probably have years worth of rechargeable batteries based upon before these batteries end up dying. So, and then anyway, again, like I mentioned, the oil lamps, these are great. These are old school, they are no tech and EMP will not mess with one of these things, it will work no matter what. If you have your oil, your paraffin wax oil, and as long as you have a lighter or match or whatever, to make sure you get that, lit up.
• 41:07
  So, yeah, those are those are the big things. I tried to be quick. There's a lot to cover with this, so I try to be really efficient. But just make sure you're taking this stuff seriously. Also, we are very close to launching the ARC community.
• 41:23
  I'll just give you a quick, let me pull that up real quick. So if you go to buildthearc.com, this is I mean, we're this very, very soon. We're going through some very, very kind of last minute things to fix it, which I won't get into that. But actually, yeah, won't get into that. But anyway, so the ARC community, is launching very soon, it's gonna be a private online community full of resources, training modules, courses, business directory, gear guides, ebook library, a huge community of people willing to help each other local chapters, so much more.
• 41:53
  If you want to learn more about the ARC community, which I'll be covering more in the coming week or so, and get going in much more detail about it, go to buildthearc.com. So you go here to join, add yourself to the waiting list. And, we will notify you as soon as this opens up for you. So as soon as we open the doors, you'll get a notification about that. So that is the Ark.
• 42:13
  So it's buildtheark.com. So again, the websites I talked about today, buildtheark.com, thereadyscore.com, heavens harvest. I'll make sure all those links are in the description. And now we are going to, transition to the second half of today's show, which is an interview with me on Mike Adams' show. Mike Adams, if you know him, he's kind of like the ultimate prepper.
• 42:36
  This guy's been doing it seriously. He is he's very intelligent about these things. So this is gonna be a show where he's actually interviewing me, talking about preparedness, community building, and our own journey of, preparedness. So hope you enjoy that, as much as you can. It's kind of frightening stuff.
• 42:51
  But, you know, again, stay stay level headed, stay calm. I find the more prepared I am, the more serious I am about my own preparedness, the easier it is for me to stay calm and level headed. And that's really important actually. Because when you've done what you can do, and you've taken these things seriously, you have a very centered place to approach things from, which I highly recommended, right? We cannot let ourselves be taken over by fear with this.
• 43:16
  You look at how the COVID campaign worked, fear was the number one tool they used to control the global population. It was fear. So do our best, not fall into fear, lean into our faith, lean into our relationship with God, and he's got this. So, alright. Let's jump into the interview now with Mike Adams.
• 43:37
  One of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself but helping those around you be more prepared because then if there is an issue, there's a massive supply chain, whether it's look what happened in Cuba. If you look at how these things play out, if that were to happen here in American soil, I think I do think that most Americans are woefully unprepared for that. Any father, if if any father is seeing their own child starving, they will do whatever it takes to get that child a meal, even if it means taking someone's life. If you wanna understand just how close we are to absolute Mad Max chaos, go read what happens when an EMP goes off.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Welcome to today's interview here on brightvideos.com. I'm Micah Adams, and we are joined by Seth Holehouse. And he, of course, hosts his own show, Man in America, and he's got a wealth of information about preparedness and resiliency in this time of extreme challenges. So welcome to the show, Seth. It's great to have you back on.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Mike, it's always good to come on. Thank you for having me. And you mentioned I have a wealth of resiliency. In fact, that my wealth is coming from a lot of your wealth. It's kind of like what my dad always said, playing cards, he'd say, Seth, remember, I taught everything you know, but not everything I know.
• 44:52
  So anyway, you had all these one liners. That's great. It's good to be here, Mike.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Well, I know that well, it's great to have you on, by the way, and I love your work. And you have over the years because we've talked, we've been in touch. You have built out a really self reliant lifestyle, you and your family. And, you know, you moved at least once that I know of. That was a big deal.
• 45:17
  But give our audience just a little bit of background about what you are doing because you're you're not just a talking head that has theories about things. Like, you're living this every single day. So tell our audience about what you're living.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, first off, to address the moving, I think that my wife and I have moved, I think, maybe five times since 2020.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Oh my, that's okay. That's crazy.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: Twice across the nation. They're kind of serious moves. So yeah, we've done a lot of moving and yeah, just to give I guess a little bit of background, I guess you're looking for more of a kind of preparedness perspective, I grew up in rural Ohio. I moved to New York City in 2008 to work for the Epoch Times. Actually at that point it was a very kind of early, I guess you could start up phase, but I really believed in the mission, you know, a very strong stance against communism which really rung, you know, really kind of struck a chord with me and was in New York City up until 2020 but as we approached probably 2015 and on I started feeling just more aware of preparedness.
• 46:28
  And so at that point I was living on like the 42nd Floor of a high rise and so kind of had my big bug out bag and of course I couldn't have any guns or anything like that but I was doing everything I could to prepare and then once COVID hit it was actually kind of before, it was early twenty twenty, we noticed that there were these Chinese, this is before the COVID pandemic had hit, Chinese that were wearing masks and kind of dissing themselves from elevators and everything in the elevator and so and we found out simultaneously my wife was pregnant so we said okay let's go back to the back to the countryside of Ohio and so we moved back to Ohio we kind of bounced around we ended up buying a home out in the country we had five acres out, know, much more in a rural area and and just being this was probably 2021, 2022. We were listening to you a lot then. It's kind of funny because my my wife would come to me, you know, in in the morning and she'd say, Seth, I spent like $2,000 on survival supplies last night and I'd say were you listening to Mike Adams and she'd say yeah.
• 47:35
  But it was it was good though because they were still using the toilet paper that we bought from Costco during COVID.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: Oh my. So
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: I've had to buy toilet paper in probably four years. That just, if you bought it for hedging inflation, and right?
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Ammo and I would imagine iodine, all the things that a prepper needs, right?
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. Water treatment, know, won't get into the details of the ammunition, but enough to to fend off a small a small zombie apocalypse, I guess you could say. But it wasn't just about buying the supplies, was about learning. It was about doing. We built huge gardens.
• 48:13
  Actually because of you, was able to convince my wife to let me get a diesel tractor. So we got a little Kubota with a and PCO that became a good a good tool for us. But we did it, know, we built, I built a chicken coop, we had about 50 chickens at that time, and we had all of this stuff, know, we were very, you know, from a supply perspective, we were set. But one thing that we realized in that process is, you know, we had friends and family that were kind of near us, so we were pretty far out, and you know, we're telling people, hey, come out with us, know, hey, come help us with our gardens, come help us with the chickens, or hey, you know, a friend or neighbor, if you do rabbits, we'll do chickens and we can exchange. Nobody was interested in it.
• 48:56
  Nobody was that, you know, they thought we were a little bit kind of out there and even amidst COVID, they just was like, oh, the sets, like the preppers.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: So you found out that you were surrounded by people who were not prepared?
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And looked at looked at preparedness more of just as a hobby. And they looked at it as like, okay. Well, we'll have a little garden patch and we can have a, you know, garden. But I mean, we were serious and we had I mean, I will like, just to give an idea, you know, obviously, you know gardening pretty well.
• 49:28
  I mean, when it was harvest time just between say tomatoes and and bell peppers, I was probably I probably collected ten five gallon buckets of vegetables, you know, so it wasn't just a small little garden. It was serious and we had if we had we still do. We had a harvest right freeze dryer. So we were freeze drying eggs, freeze drying vegetables, freeze drying ground beef. Know, we were just everything was oriented around this, but we were learning in the process.
• 49:55
  That was one of my favorite lessons which I look at it every day when I look at my mangled toe is don't build a chicken coop in the rain wearing Birkenstocks. Because I dropped a four by eight sheet of three quarter inch plywood vertically down across all my toes and destroyed my toenail and broke a couple of toes. But you know that that's how you learn your lesson. Also I knocked a tooth out, this is a fake tooth. I learned a lesson also working on the chicken coop of why not to leave your power drill on top of your eight foot ladder when you go somewhere to do something because when you look up and you're moving the ladder and the drill comes down and knocks your tooth out Oh my.
• 50:34
  And your job is to be on camera, that doesn't work out very well. So we learned a lot of lessons and that was really valuable. I think a lot of people, they they look at preparedness as collecting things. It's easy to get kind of geeked out and like, oh, got this cool survival knife and this, but it's actually the skills that are really important. But more than that, we realized that the most important thing that I think that we needed, we didn't have, which was a community.
• 50:59
  And that was it because we were very isolated and I think even worse than being isolated, we were surrounded by people that knew we were very prepared, but they weren't prepared. And so that's not a very good situation to be in. And so as crazy as it is after about two years and sinking you know a significant amount of money into our property, you know digging a well, putting in a wood burning stove, all these different things, we decided to move back to New York. But we went to Upstate New York because both my wife and I spent most of our adult lives living in the New York region and so we had a huge community of people here that we knew and as much I hate being in New York, the reality is we've got two little girls or two and five, we've now got a homeschool group with over 30 kids, We've got people over every day. We've got this really this incredible community of people, whether it's the local raw milk farm that we know the owners, know that, you know, the local farmers that run the farm stands.
• 52:01
  And that was I think one of the biggest lessons of that whole process was that you have to have people, have to have community that you unless you're you're a, you know, SEER trained, you know, you can survive anywhere kind of person, you're not gonna do well just completely in isolation. You know, one person, even if you've got Enoch on an off grid laptop, you're still not gonna know how to, you know, suture up a wound as well as your neighbor who's a nurse, right? And so that was part of the process that brought us back here and we've now I feel that we're more prepared than ever and I think a lot of that is because obviously we have a lot of supplies and we've got a lot of food, actually too much food. I think it's storage unit to move some of our food into because we had all these five gallon buckets of dry beans and everything.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Well, that's gonna come in super handy right now with the global fertilizer cutoff.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir. Absolutely.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: You're sitting on a gold mine right there.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, the other thing is I I think that we're if anything, we're hedging inflation. Like I'm eating cans canned foods that I bought for a buck a can four years ago that's now $2.50 a can.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: So that's one way I look at it is that, you know, we're just working through supplies and we I've got a whole box of this, this magical stuff right here. Got a
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: whole whole box of this in our food storage room.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I've got, you know, I've got probably another 30 of these things, sitting around.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: We use a lot of your stuff, which kudos to you, Mike. Actually, you've done a great job with a lot of your products and we use your products daily.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you. I do too. I mean, like, obviously, the protein in here is four years old because I stockpiled loads of whey protein. And just like you, I'm working through the older stuff first and it's perfectly good. You know?
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: It is. Is. So I've got
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: a four year protein supply. Yeah.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Which is something I think I still I think we've got maybe I think I have about 400 pounds of freeze dried of powdered milk, organic Oh, wow. Freeze dried milk that I took. We bought these big bags from Azure and then we had bought a vacuum sealer with Mylar bags and we we actually individually sealed. Think I think honestly it's probably 400 pounds of dried milk that's just sitting.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: You had some time with the sealer there. Yeah.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. Yeah. Yep.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: Well Yep. So you're very well prepared. But like you say, it's it's not just about the stuff. It's about the skills and it's about community. And but you feel like you're well covered there in Upstate New York right now?
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. Well, that's the one thing is that, you know, people think, oh, you live in New York. Well, like, I've lived in the heart of New York City. I mean, literally in in Union Square, lived there for almost a decade.
• 54:52
  Upstate New York is, I'd say, feels more conservative than rural Ohio in many ways. I think maybe because you have that contrast, right? When you think that sometimes it's kind of the whole yin and the yang, right? You have when you have the opposing forces that one force drives the other force even further away. So I think the people that are outside of the city, they're living in more rural areas, living within a blue state.
• 55:13
  It's kinda like California has some of the strongest kind of red population that there is, right? Because people they know the importance of it versus Ohio was very purple, right? Which which we know that, right? Every election you see that Ohio is one of those purple states. Well according to the rigged voting machines it is but that's a different issue.
• 55:31
  Right. But yeah, so I I do because we have we have the we have the supplies, you know, I'm building a pole barn pretty soon to build out a new studio to do more kind of survival content, more building, that kind of stuff, but we have all the supplies and everything, but we've got the community. We've got my next door neighbor is a retired nurse, the neighbor across from her he runs or part of his kind of side business he has probably two acres worth of log you know for firewood so you know that's what he does as part of his extra income he's got all that. Not to mention, like I said, we know now we know the farmers. We know the the milk farm, you know, the the local milk farm.
• 56:10
  We get our raw milk, which is great because New York happens to be a state where you can get raw milk directly from the farm. Ohio, you had to do, like, a milk share a herd share type thing. So yeah, we have we now have a lot of the people and the infrastructure and that's I think is is what I found to be one of the most important things about this is actually just building your community. Not to mention I think that people oftentimes overlook the importance of your mental health and when you're sitting alone in isolation and it's funny because I was talking to my wife this morning about this process and she was, yeah, you know, Seth, she's like, I remember there's one conversation that really was one of those conversations that shifted her thinking like we need to change and it was when I was sitting on the back deck with her talking about like where I could set sniper positions to take out people that were coming to our house if they were coming to steal from us. And that was for her, that was for like, okay we've gone too far down this hole, right?
• 57:07
  And of course it's not a bad thing to think through those scenarios. I know that I've listened to your discussions on that and how you've you've got markers, okay that's my 500 yard marker, that's my thousand mark you know yard marker, but you know I think that the mental aspect of it, it doesn't matter what kind of studies you look at. I'm not sure if you've Michael Nels before and talk about, you know, the I forget how what he called his book about just the the brain and how important it is for us to have these healthy relationships to help build that mental resilience. It makes us less susceptible to propaganda, less susceptible to fear, everything. And so now we're at a place where we've got this we've got a community.
• 57:46
  And it's actually part of what we've got a lot of projects. We have the podcast, but one of things that actually we're launching next Tuesday is something called the ARC community. And so it's buildtheaarc.com is the website for it and right now it's, just to sign up for like the waiting list. We've had, I think now in a couple of months we've got over 11,000 people just on the waiting list just to come in to join this ARC community and what it is is it's a private community for like you could say it's kind of faith based preparedness, but it's really for people just to kind of build this community. Gonna set up local chapters so we're gonna have local chapters across the nation and also as different countries kind of join in.
• 58:26
  But the whole purpose of it was to basically solve the problem that we had in Ohio, which is what do you do if you live in an area and aside from your your say your kind of crazy uncle that's prepared no one else actually thinks like you do. How do you find that community? How do you build that local infrastructure? And so that's part of what we're doing with the ARC community is giving people the ability to actually look and find people like oh wow this person's you know 20 miles from me. Okay great.
• 58:54
  You can join local chapters. So that's another thing that we're doing we're launching next next Tuesday and so as of right now buildthearc.com is just a it's just a landing page where you put your name and your email to be notified once the door is open. So that's another thing that we're doing as as part of all this.
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let me let me give out your main website too. It's sethwholehouse.com, and I'm sure you have a link to your ARC project there as well. Yeah. If you
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: scroll down, there's the there's the actually, perfect. There's the four main things that we're working on. We've got the Man in America Podcast, which is maninamerica.com, The ARC Community, which is buildthearc.com, Prep Like Noah, which is my my book that's coming out in mid May. And then we have also this site we built called ReadyScore. And so actually, you might have to talk about ReadyScore real quick?
• 59:38
  Is there anything that we're we're trying to do? Well,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: We'll segue to that, but I have a question for you first.
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, please.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Okay. So one of the things like your presentation style is very kind. It's very, you know, compassionate and friendly. And I love that about you, by the way. You know, you're you're not intimidating to people.
• 1:00:02
  At the same time, this is what I want you to answer. I believe that America is facing a level of difficulty because of this war and, you know, the the the collapse of global supply chains and fertilizer and all kinds of scarcities. I think that the average American clearly is not ready for any of this, but I even think that many so called community preparedness Americans aren't ready for what's coming. And my question to you is, what do you think about the because at someday, you're gonna have to get really tough about the reality of the situation if this war continues and the supply chains are shut down. And, you know, we could lose the ability to manufacture car tires, you know, because of the lack of sulfur, and you can't vulcanize tires without I mean, we could lose transportation infrastructure in this country.
• 1:00:56
  At that point, things are gonna get really dicey, and it's gonna move beyond, like, a feel good goat milk rally. You know what I mean? What are your thoughts on that?
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of thoughts. One thing is that the the community, the people that we're close to, I'm trying to do everything I can to help them all be prepared ahead of time. You know, one thing for instance, I had an opportunity, one of my my friends has he owns a survival food company and you know I had an opportunity to get a whole pallet of freeze dried number 10 cans said like a very very heavy discount. Oh, that's awesome. So it shows about 600 pound pallet of freeze dried food that I paid for just that's the a lot of food.
• 1:01:41
  Just the shipping, right? You know, it has a lot of food. So we sent a message out to all of our local families, know and said, Hey, come grab a box of this stuff. We pass it out and so that's one of the best things because that's I think that the one of the ways of preparing is not just preparing yourself but helping those around you be more prepared because then if there is an issue, if there's a massive supply chain, whether it's a look what happened in Cuba, right? I suspect that we hit them with an EMP and maybe we hit them with an HARP earthquake and now we're gonna go in, right?
• 1:02:13
  So if you look at how these things play out, if that were to happen here in American soil, I do think that most Americans are woefully unprepared for that and obviously you know you don't want be the person that disaster strikes and you've got you've got 40 people showing up in your driveway looking for handouts, right? So my thinking is okay, let me get them seeds, me get them as much food as ahead of time as we can, but I do think that you know as nice of a guy as I am and it's not like an act, mean I think that just it's who I've always really been, it just kind of like this kind of person I am. I think part of it is because I was really fat as a kid. You know, kind of side story, I was really overweight and so I thought okay, well, I'll just be really nice to everybody. That's how I'm gonna make kind of make my become successful because I can't rely on my on my my good looks to do anything because I was fat.
• 1:03:00
  Right? So just when when you're a young kid, you find these kind of coping mechanisms and so that laid a foundation but you know, but I'm also a father. I've got a two year old, a five year old and so and that's just that's the reality of it is that any father, if any father is seeing their own child starving, they will do whatever it takes to get that child a meal even if it means taking someone's life and I'm not saying that I would jump to do that and hopefully I would never have to, but there's also a very sober reality of that. I mean, I would say one of the biggest things that it's like if every American could right now go read one second after and read what happens in a country after an EMP hits, like that's to me not to be like a fearmonger, but it's like if you want to understand just how close we are to absolute Mad Max chaos, go read what happens when an EMP goes off and read what happens thirty days into that, let alone six months into that where you've got, you know, complete chaos, which I know you've talked extensively about.
• 1:04:03
  So I think part of it is being mentally prepared. I I hope that our nation never gets to a place where we have that situation where we're literally getting into small localized wars and battles and gunfights. I hope that never comes to that but I as nice as I am as a father, I understand that there are certain times, like if you go to war, if there's an enemy nation that's invading, or if you're occupied by an enemy nation, right, then you have to do things that require, think, discipline and making sure your family survives. I I don't think a lot of Americans are even mentally have even gone through the mental exercise of thinking what does it what does that look like?
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Clearly, that's the case. We've never really had war domestically since the civil war. Right? You know, World War two didn't touch our shores.
• 1:04:53
  It was those people dying over there. You know, it was easy for people to say that. Vietnam, etcetera, even this war. It's those people over there. Except what's different now is that the closure of the Strait Of Hormuz will have devastating global economic repercussions, including the loss of urea, fertilizer, phosphate fertilizers because of the loss of sulfuric acid that's necessary for their production.
• 1:05:19
  We're looking at crop yields strongly declining over the next year. And also, don't forget that some of the social tinderbox was put in place by Trump having ICE agents aggressively in the streets in Minnesota shooting and killing Americans while wearing masks and having zero accountability. People on the left have not forgotten that. And and they shouldn't because that was blatantly unconstitutional. And let me ask you this.
• 1:05:50
  There's a there's a risk scenario here where Trump escalates this war to World War three, and then he pulls a Zelensky, and he cancels the elections, the midterms. And he cancels the First Amendment somehow, which is what Zelensky did, and it just starts shutting down or arresting independent media. It could be people like you and I. In that scenario, there could be a lot of domestic uprisings, especially among some Democrats who, you know, have been Trump haters for a long time. If Trump cancels elections, it's like feel like all bets are off, and we could end up in a civil war or at least regionally.
• 1:06:31
  What are your thoughts on that possible scenario?
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that if you're if you're looking at this with a rational analytical mind, you can see that these scenarios are very I'm not saying that they're necessarily likely, but they're they're definitely they're they're possible. They're absolutely possible. I I hope and I pray that they don't come about, but these are are real things. The the tension in our nation is, you know, I'm 40 this year, so I'm not, you know, I'm not looking back on, you know, seventy five years of living and like, oh, I remember when that happened that happened, but, you know, I've lived enough to, you know, have a sense of what this nation feels like and I think that the the tension in our nation is now higher than has ever been. I mean, I felt that even a couple of years ago that you you were the nation was divided, but it was divided into a couple bigger groups, right?
• 1:07:28
  You had the you know kind of okay, hey, people that believe that the election was stolen, know, people you know, that was a big group, okay, hey, we need we need election justice, we need to have audits, we need to have justice. You had the people that said okay, hey, that's a lie, the election wasn't stolen, Okay. But but still though maybe America was divided into a couple large groups. As of right now, I think it's absolutely by design. I think that our country has been splintered into dozens of different groups where even I mean, looking within the the kind of so called MAGA or so called right, it is so splintered now that that to me is concerning.
• 1:08:05
  Remember you know there's a little while ago when I was talking to, I interviewed Michael Yon who I know that you've interviewed many times. Actually, funny enough, he he woke me up at, like, three in the morning last night, called me from Japan. So I was gonna I didn't answer. I was like, why is my phone ringing? Look.
• 1:08:18
  Was Michael Yon saying hello from Japan.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This sounds like Michael. Yeah. He's yeah. I just talked to him yesterday.
• 1:08:24
  He's he's in Japan.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: But one thing that that he said really stuck with me is because was asking, what do you think is gonna happen? Or, you know, when do think it's gonna happen? He said, look. He goes, everyone he said, don't pay attention to the one spark that causes the forest fire. He said pay attention to conditions.
• 1:08:42
  Yes. He says look at okay. Here's there's 30 different conditions. Any one of these conditions could lead to the same spark that then starts a forest fire. And that's where I feel like that we're at right now.
• 1:08:51
  I don't know I don't know what it was what it's gonna be. I think that we're in a place now where you know our own government which actually this isn't any it's no different than it has been since almost the beginning of this of this country, but false flags on our own soil are very very real. It's very possible. So could there be some sort of false flag terror attack that gets blamed on Iran as a way of justifying the war? Absolutely.
• 1:09:18
  Could there be a legitimate terror attack? Could could there be a, you know, a series of of cells of Chinese and maybe even Iranian or who knows, that actually do have a legitimate terrorist attack in in in this nation? Absolutely. So and we're at a place where all these conditions are there. And so that's what makes me feel really nervous, not to mention looking at what's happening with AI, looking at what's happening with Palantir.
• 1:09:45
  On one of my live shows just over the weekend, I played there was a two minute clip of I think it was the DOD's head of their AI program that was outlining exactly how the Palantir kill chain works. And you know, some of the points I was making in that show and talking about this is that we're looking at this and they're showing us, he's showing us literally the Palantir kill chain identifying targets, tracking insane levels of detail. Not to mention it's like do you really think that the DoD is gonna show us like the kind of the full capacity of their technology? No. There's no way.
• 1:10:19
  Right? But even looking at like that, know, thing that I've always been concerned of because I'm a student of history is whenever a a nation, whenever the leadership of a nation has the ability to exert insane amounts of control over its people, it oftentimes happens. And even if someone's watching and even if someone is say an ardent Trump fan and they're saying, look, I support Trump a 100%. I'll say okay fine, but what happens if the next person gets in? What happens if the next person gets in?
• 1:10:53
  He has the same keys to that Palantir kill chain. What happens if that gets turned against the American people? And that's something that is frightening because if you look at a lot of the warfare footage coming out of Ukraine, it's not the same war that was being fought thirty, forty years ago. This is warfare that even a skilled operator here in America would have a hard time countering. I mean, how many people have go ahead.
• 1:11:17
  Yeah.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: Not not not only that, but remember during the ICE raids in Minnesota, you had top Trump officials labeling the the Americans who were killed as domestic terrorists and claiming after they shot that guy I forgot his name. But after they shot the guy, they claimed that, well, he had a gun, and he intended to come in and have a massacre and kill everybody. They just made that up. But they declare you a domestic terrorist, which means that they, in their minds, they don't have to abide by any rule of law whatsoever. And the Trump administration is now becoming famous for abandoning any law.
• 1:11:53
  They just do whatever the hell they want internationally or domestically. So I I wouldn't even put it past Trump to use AI Palantir targeting, you know, with suicide drones or whatever, taking out Americans in our own cities. That's well within the possibility of the mindset of this administration now, unfortunately.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, yeah. Unfortunately, it is. If you look at what's been done. Right? You look at I'm I'm sure you probably saw Joe Kent's resignation.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: Got it right here, actually. Yeah. I was
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 1: was literally I I read that to my wife probably an hour ago, and I had to fight I fought back tears reading about him talking about his wife and losing his wife. Yeah. And you know the you know these these are very real scenarios, but one thing that also concerns me is I'm in the you could say that I'm fighting in a war of my own as you are too which is an information war. And you know thankfully there have been some opportunities for us to have free speech. Obviously you've you're you're building an infrastructure that I think has a very strong capability in terms of surviving attacks on free speech.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: You're not hoping that Elon Musk isn't gonna censor you. You're you're anticipating that he will. And actually, I mean, I just saw this too. I put out an Epstein video. I sent it to you before the show.
• 1:13:18
  You probably had time to watch it, but I put out a three and a half minute Epstein video and that that video was so censored on Twitter. It was it's incredible. I had people like John Rich sharing it multiple times, General Flynn sharing it, kim.com sharing it, people with, you know, collectively probably 10,000,000 followers sharing this video, the video's got 300,000 views. Right?
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 2: So it's video wouldn't let me bring it up until I logged in to X. So it it got marked as sensitive content.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Actually, I I had to send it to you a couple times because on the messaging app that you and I were using, the first time I sent it to you, it would it refused to send it to you.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: It actually wouldn't even send the the Twitter link to
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: you. Wow. So Yeah. I tried to open it before the show here. It wouldn't let me open it, so I'll have to check it out when I get back to my desktop.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But what really concerns me is that what you see happening with the recent announcement from I think is Brendan Carr, if I remember correctly, his name. He he was the head of the FCC, talking about, these media agent, media companies, broadcast networks that are sharing AI footage of the war saying that they're gonna strip the broadcast licenses of these, these, you know broadcasting agencies whether it's ABC or CNN or Fox or doesn't really matter, right? If they're sharing what they say is fake news so they are saying it's AI but this is really frightening because who becomes the arbiter of truth?
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Right.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: I know How do you know how do know what's AI and what's not?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: Right? Video the White House doesn't like, they immediately label it AI. And and also all US warplanes that fall out of the sky are only from friendly fire.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Yes. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:14:59
  I mean In all in all videos of b b n n yahoo are not AI.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. Right. Right. I mean, just clearly, we're we're just being subjected to psychological operations daily.
• 1:15:13
  But you're right. You bring up a good point. Who's the arbiter of of what is truth? And, you know, the AI videos, as you know, I've I've created an AI avatar, mister Foo Cough.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I watched it. Yeah. The other day, I watched that one.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But, of course, it's obvious that that's a caricature. Like, that's a that's a fictional character on purpose. But it shows you how convincing AI videos can be. And by the way, I rendered that video locally, not even not on some online service.
• 1:15:42
  That was all created with my own hardware, which means even if I'm censored, I can create those kinds of videos with my own workstations. So now I'm using it in good faith, you know, for comedy purposes or educational, but other people will use it in bad faith. And I wouldn't be surprised if the White House will have, like, a a fake AI content generation division to put out fake stuff and call it real. Know?
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: It wouldn't be surprised. Exactly. And again, who becomes the arbiter of truth? Like, and that's it's a serious question because it used to be that if you if you saw it, you could believe it. Right?
• 1:16:22
  You see it, you believe it. But that's no longer the case anymore. Right. And and this and there's part of me that things as I take a step back and I look at everything that's happening, right, looking at Iran, like Iran as much as you might think, okay, well this is Iran is this independent nation that is against this globalist or against this, you know, this Rockefeller Rothschild banking system, Iran was just as kind of neck deep in the COVID and the vaccine operations and this lockdown. So they were just on board as much on board with the globalist stuff as Israel and as America.
• 1:16:58
  And so there's also part of me that's wondering are there are the controllers above all of this because I think that to look at say Israel as an example and think oh it's Israel that's doing these things. I think Israel is a proxy of just other private powerful hidden probably satanic groups just like our own military industrial complex is is the army just like the city of London is the banking arm. So that's one of the other things that really kind of concerns me with all this is that is this war, is the shutting down of the Strait Of Hormuz, is all of this part of an acceleration towards their agenda 2030? Absolutely. It's it's brilliant.
• 1:17:35
  If it is, if that's their plan, it's absolutely brilliant.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: Well, think about it during COVID, you know, Trump oversaw the approval and military distribution of biological weapons to be injected into the American people that killed over one point five million Americans by good estimates. But that didn't kill enough for the globalists. Right? Because they really wanna eliminate maybe billions of people. So now they here's another way to do it.
• 1:18:04
  Trick Trump into waging war, shut down the Strait Of Hormuz, cut off the energy supply of Western civilization, the natural gas, the oil, the helium, the the the sulfur, the sulfuric acid, the fertilizer, and just let billions starve or let, you know, let the uprising begin. Mean, think you're right, Seth. This is a top level anti human situation that has been put into place. It's been engineered.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: And I think that one thing that I try to do with with all of this is I I try to not focus too hard on the isolated incidents. I try to look at patterns because it's really easy to lie about a single event or a couple of events. It's much more difficult to lie with patterns across history Right. And or patterns occurring. And so that's why I'm I'm always trying to kinda keep an eye on, okay, what are the patterns that I'm seeing?
• 1:19:01
  And, you know, one thing is, you know, I'm sure you recall there's one of the videos of Klaus Schwab talking about the threat of a of a of a cyber attack that shuts down everything. You remember him saying how it would make the kind of the COVID pandemic look like kind of nothing compared to what that could cause but then you now see they're talking about their warning about the Iranians targeting the banking system. So how easy would it be? And it doesn't matter whether Iran does it, whether the CIA does it, whether Massive does it, whether the CCP does it, it actually doesn't matter because any one of those nations can be used as a tool to collapse a banking system. Like what happens if if there is that?
• 1:19:42
  We know that we know that the dollar is dying, we know that there is a massive war built on the back of the petrodollar, we know though that they knew that was gonna happen. It's a fiat currency, it has a life cycle that's never changed our history. Fiat currencies, they come and they go, right? Different than you know this 10 ounce bar of silver right here, this will never be digital, it'll never be controlled, I can go bury it in my backyard, nobody will ever find it, right? I like that about silver.
• 1:20:09
  But how easy is it for them to say, okay, you know what, I think it's time for us to roll out that CBDC, Let's go ahead and do one of these nationwide banking system hacks on the American banking system. That's gonna trigger a global stock market wipeout. That's gonna trigger the global financial reset. We're gonna then bring in the central bank digital currency. Yep.
• 1:20:29
  All of these things are possible and the thing is is when you have the theater of war, it's a theater of war. Right? They have the script. They can have whatever character they want to walk in on stage and assassinate the other character if they need they need it to happen and they can then use that to bring us closer to their end goal. And I think that by now whether you know you've been studying these things for a very long time like I have or even much longer for yourself or whether you're just coming into it because you found the the recent Epstein files and you're like, my gosh, all those QAnon people were right, they are eating babies, they are trafficking and torturing children, this stuff's all real, what you realize is that at the top of this system there is a very small group of very evil people that I believe are probably not even fully human or human even human at all that have an immense amount of control they've amassed over millennia that they want to be able to have immortality through technology, through transhumanism, go listen to Jared Kushner talking about his generation being the last ones to ever die.
• 1:21:27
  If that's the case, if they're able to achieve immortality, well if some of our population has immortality and others don't, then there's others that don't have immortality are just gonna be these useless eaters consuming the earth's resources. So those people definitely need to be kind of called, right? And so that's the thing that I'm trying to look at with all of this is I'm trying not to get too caught up in the fighting between Laura Loomer and Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens, this other person. Of course I'm following and I've got my own opinions on those things but I think that the the bigger thing is that this is where this is all scripted and I think that a lot of these things are not necessarily by the people involved in these kind of scandals themselves but I think from the higher level, a lot of these are intentional scandal and distractions to keep people focused on this over here so they don't see that coming from behind them, don't see it is this global technocratic system that's gonna come in and strip away everyone's freedoms and the people that are fighting, the people that are the useful idiots that are fighting for whether they're fighting for the the Zionists, whether they're fighting for the communist, it doesn't matter because oftentimes they're the first ones to get the gun to the back of their head up against a wall, right?
• 1:22:39
  And that's what we don't realize is that fundamentally this is a war against humanity and I really try to pull myself into that place from looking at what's happening and remind myself of that that even though say you have a neighbor that has the different political sign than you, you know, that person is just as much a target for elimination as my own family. And so is I am I gonna try to focus my energy on fighting the person that has a different political viewpoint than me or am I gonna try to help that person and those around me see that you know what this is humanity versus a small group of elite satanic pedophiles that want to kill us all because I think that's the only hope that I have is us as a human race realizing that and doing something about it. So, Seth,
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: what you just outlined there, which was really brilliantly stated, segment was just a great summary of where we are. And I imagine that if you could visit yourself ten years ago and hear what you just said, you wouldn't have believed it. Right? And even I wouldn't have believed it because we've all learned usually through hard lessons along the way of where we are. But here's the thing.
• 1:23:49
  So you just laid it out brilliantly, and I think our audience obviously is completely up to speed on those things you just said. The the typical person, the typical American is nowhere near that level of understanding. And I would imagine even some in your preparedness community, even though they they may totally agree with, you know, the importance of, like, let's be ready, you know, for a three day hurricane or a superstorm in New York or or whatever, would imagine there are some people even in your own group that don't yet have enough knowledge and experience to walk through all of the things that you just laid out. And so there's this gap between where people function and the way the world actually works. Because I believe that what you just described is accurate about the way the world actually works.
• 1:24:40
  And as long as your internal map, for those people who aren't up to speed, if their internal map is lacking the detail of what's actually driving things, they will never be able to get to their destination because their map is incomplete. You see what I mean? So how Exactly. Yeah. Go ahead.
• 1:24:57
  Your comments.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. I I agree completely. Well, it's like even if you go back into say Tony Robbins, right? You're looking at or even NLP or psycho cybernetics and looking at, you know, your beliefs shape your reality. Your beliefs even shape, you know you on a on a genetic level, know, your your thinking in your mind can literally change your own DNA and this is known, right?
• 1:25:18
  And so you know, let alone your beliefs about you know, oh I read the Scofield Bible so this is this is with the rule of Israel, right? Like, you know, there's there's propaganda campaigns that could have been inserted into the consciousness of humanity five hundred years ago. Oh yeah. Right? So we're still arguing about whether the election was stolen in 2020, We're not even touching upon whether there were advanced civilizations, whether the Tartaria was real, whether there were giants walking among us, whether they're like Humanity has been pushed so far into a cage, but you know, I think that part of it and this is what I'm trying to do with the, with the access that I have to to reach people, you know, because our the podcast has grown, you know, we've really, really well.
• 1:26:05
  Actually, I think in in I think it was in February between the video content articles I think we probably hit 15,000,000 impressions, right, You with Man in know, so we're really growing and so what I'm trying to do with this is I'm trying to really pivot and not come at this from a left right perspective, not come at this from a divisive place but trying to help kind of walk you through that narrative I just gave you. And part of what I'm doing with that and part of what really shaped that for me is I interviewed a woman maybe about I think it was about three or four three weeks ago I think I published an interview, her name is Max Lowen and I'm not sure if you're familiar with her but she was a and that she was an SRA victim. She was trafficked under the underground tunnels in the Vatican. She was trafficked by the Jesuits. You know, she had a she was, you know, inhuman and most dangerous game hunting parties.
• 1:27:01
  And, you know, so I think the people like that, like I'm trying my best to try to help bring their voices forward because we're we're gonna have a hard time finding someone that's at the top of that system that's gonna come out and become a whistleblower of the system. No. Right? Like look what happened, the guy, I forget his name, he was the German banker that talked about what he saw at some of these parties and he realized they were eating. I'm pretty sure that guy was killed.
• 1:27:24
  I think he was living in Florida at the time, I think he was killed. But there are people that are that have seen the inside of this system that they can tell us a lot. Think we should be listening. I've actually got another interview coming out this Saturday. I'm just a two part interview because it's so heavy.
• 1:27:39
  It's a two hour long interview. Split into two parts with a guy named JR Sweet and I'm not sure if you ever come across JR Sweet before, No. Not familiar. So he has a website which is called mormonmonarch.com and JR was from a very young age, he was born into a royal bloodline that traced back to a certain king over in Europe and from a very very young age he was subjected to satanic ritual abuse. He a lot of it he experienced underground at Disneyland.
• 1:28:09
  So he gets he gets oh, it's it's like yeah, in the interview I had with him, I mean it was one of the most difficult and darkest interviews I've ever done and not to say that it was about this pure evil, there's actually a lot of hope inside of that. You can see his struggle but yeah, he was part of human hunting parties. He was literally he in my interview with him, he walks through basically how the Disneyland apparatus works and how the intelligence agencies have these underground apparatuses and bases as part of Disney where they would stop a ride midway. His uncle who was his handler who was CIA would take him off the ride and they would go in and he described one scene which is so shocking where he's at Disney, his uncle takes him off one of the rides, you know I think he was maybe six or seven years old. They go into an area underground, they've got cages full of children And he says, yeah, I'll have to share.
• 1:29:07
  I'll make sure I share it with you. I mean, was mind blowing and he's Why
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: why did they stop the ride? Is that how they snatch the kids or what what he's saying?
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 1: What he was saying is that what he was describing is that I think this is the the Disneyland in maybe Anaheim is a California one, but actually that underneath of it there's actually a massive intelligence base so that the the CIA has a base that's actually part of underground Disney and this sounds so wild, right? It sounds like, okay, this is crazy. How could this actually be? But then when you realize that all this stuff is connected and it's like it actually makes sense. You look even Disney, it's like okay, why is Disney putting Illuminati symbolism in their shows?
• 1:29:50
  Why are they putting nudity? All the things that Disney's hidden in it, it's like that's just the tip of the iceberg.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: The answer is because it's a small world after all.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Right? Yeah. So you are finishing the story. So basically he described they go under and they told him they said, hey, one of these kids have been giving us a lot of trouble lately.
• 1:30:08
  And he thought it maybe an older boy that was kind of really aggressive. It was a young girl. And he said so they underground in Disney, picked out they took they picked out this young girl, they took her into a room, they strapped her down into in a certain kind of a theater they had set up for sacrifices. He said they had an altar, they strapped her down to the altar, they slit her throat, and he said that they had a special table where the blood would drain off into both sides and it would run down into a white cup. And so the he said it was white because the contrast of the blood against the white cup was really kind of obviously very strong and they would they and they consumed the blood of this and so he ended up as he described in his story, he ended up becoming a CIA MK Ultra sleeper assassin and that was his job And the crazy thing is is he didn't know any of this until about 2017.
• 1:31:02
  All his memories started coming back in 2017.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't realize this interview was gonna go in this direction by the way. Sorry. It's getting a little little grotesque, but I I understand what you're saying, and and this is a man you've interviewed. What Mormon what was his website? Monarch.
• 1:31:23
  Mormon, yeah,
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: he has an entire diary on there where he walks through. He has pictures of him as a child, he has documentation. I mean it's like it's all there and I've unfortunately gone down this rabbit hole far too much and maybe I should have given and maybe Mike you know before you put the show up you can give someone you can give a
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 2: give a
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: viewer discretion advised but I guess the bigger point that I was making is that when you start to see this stuff you realize that the stories that we've heard of these shadow, the shadowy cabal that's sacrificing and doing evil things and casting spells. I mean it's really it's like if you believe if you believe in Satan like from the perspective, if you believe that Satan exists, right, which I do, like I believe that Satan exists, I I'm not an atheist, right, I believe there's God in everything. If you believe this thing exists, if you believe that he has a certain amount of control over this world, then wouldn't it make sense that these kinds of evil things will be happening in the power centers of this world where, you know, for in a lot of ways the world that Satan has been basically ruling. And so then it you understand it's like actually, yeah, it makes sense why there's this bioweapon jab program. It makes sense why they're mutilating children.
• 1:32:36
  You know, all these things have to make sense if you can just get that place where you realize that's what that's the power structure that runs this world.
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 2: Well, that's yeah. That's true. And as far as the Disney link, I have noticed over the years that, especially in Florida, seems like some large portion of people who are arrested and charged with child trafficking work for Disney. You know, Disney World, I guess, that case, Orlando or wherever it is. But let's shift gears here because that's Yeah.
• 1:33:06
  Gross. Let's talk about your ReadyScore and because none of us were ready for that segment on Disney. So let's talk about your ReadyScore. So as I understand it, you've got an online scoring system that people can sort of self score the ReadyScore.
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this was part of the yeah part of what again as I mentioned the one of my of my goals and my missions I think is actually what you've been doing as well is I want to do whatever I can to help more people in America also around the world but it's helped more people be more prepared and because if if every family in America had a thirty day food supply set aside then they couldn't create food riots after two days of grocery stores being shut down, right? So these are the you know Kissinger highlighted perfectly talking about controlling the the food, the money, you know, the energy, etcetera. That's how you get people to bow and to bend a knee and then sign up for their vaccine passport to get their loaf of, you know, GMO cricket protein bread. Right? So one of the things that that really hit me and this happened during the winter storm, the ice storm that we recently you know had come across America that most people that die in these kinds of storms, they don't die because of the storm itself, they die because of a lack of preparedness.
• 1:34:24
  If you look at the Texas freeze, the people that died in the Texas freeze, they died not because the storm by and large, they died because they weren't prepared for it. They didn't have a backup heating source, they didn't have backup power, They they were reliant on the tap water coming out. So when that ice storm shut down the the grid infrastructure and they can no longer have access to water, right, that became an issue. And so Right. Part of what we wanna do, so we we launched readyscore.com.
• 1:34:51
  And what it is is there's two different tests on there. There's a ninety second test and a about an eight or nine minute test. And basically what it does is it let's just say that someone came and say, hey Mike, can you help me to assess where my preparation is at? You would say, okay, hey Seth, do you have a way of filtering your own water? How much food do you have stored?
• 1:35:10
  Do you have water stored? Do you have a way of protecting yourself? Do you have medication? Etcetera. You'd ask these questions and that's what we do at the Ready Score is that we ask people these different questions, know, including where do you live, right?
• 1:35:21
  If you live in a high rise in New York City, it doesn't matter how much food and water you have, you're screwed in a grid down scenario, right? And so that's what we build out for, so people they they take the test, they get to the end of it, and it actually gives them their ready score. It says okay, you are a 63 out of a 100, but and not just that, it says okay, we've broken down preparedness into I think 11 different categories of preparedness that we've we've identified and it will actually show you that, okay, in these seven categories you're basically a 10 out of 10. But you know, in this one category you're a three out of 10, right? You're still relying on you don't have any kind of backup energy or you don't have any way defending yourself.
• 1:36:01
  And so the idea with this is that kind of you get a credit score, which I think is is a complete rigged system anyway. It gives you a score where it gives you an assessment. Okay. Hey. This is your ready score.
• 1:36:11
  These are where your gaps are. And it actually gives you steps. Okay. Here's how you can improve. We recommend you, hey.
• 1:36:17
  Go buy a Sawyer LifeStraw. Like, if if live in Florida and you're you're reliant on tap water and you have no way of filtering water, go spend $30 and get a LifeStraw. Like, that could literally be the one thing that saves your family from drinking creek water because you don't have water because the system's down, and then your eight year old daughter gets some sort of waterborne disease.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: So you're just one AR 15 away from 90 from scoring. It's like this problem is solvable. But I like it. So the website for that is is it readyscore.com?
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Just readyscore.com.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: Okay. Is that up now?
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. It's it's live right now.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Okay. Let me
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: I think we've already had maybe close to seven or 8,000 people that have taken the test
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 2: so far.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. How ready They've gotten their assessment.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like this. Good idea. Okay. Yeah.
• 1:37:10
  Very cool. Next, have like a, you know, like a AI survival chatbot right there.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Would be Yeah.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 2: Even more fun. And it can it can condemn you for not having enough water or whatever. It's like a There
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: you go.
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: Like a an AI chatbot that won't let you get away with anything. Okay.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 2: So tell us since we're about to wrap up this interview, also, tell us about at sethwholehouse.com, your main website, you mentioned your your show. You've got the ARC community project. You've got Prep Like Noah. That's your book coming out also. Right?
• 1:37:51
  Do you wanna talk about that?
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So that's coming out mid May. I don't know the exact date yet. The idea is that it's we're calling it the website page is preplikenoah.com.
• 1:38:03
  We're just calling it it's the of the prepping guide for non preppers, and that's the idea with it. It's really, know, like for yourself, you would read it, maybe take a few things away from it. But the intention again is to helping someone that feels overwhelmed with preparedness. Maybe they feel like, okay, where do I start? Or maybe they're they're well into the journey but they still need some helpful guides.
• 1:38:27
  That's the whole point of prep like Noah. It's kind of looking at, okay, who was the original prepper? It was Noah. I mean he spent a hundred years building an ark when everyone around him was you know doing all kinds of evil things and who knows what they were doing, right? You know, bestiality and mixing of human DNA, Nephilim were probably raping people for all we know, mean that's the world that he lived in but he followed his his divine intuition, he followed what you know, God's Word and he built this oak.
• 1:38:53
  So in my opinion is if you want to be prepared, let's go to the like to the OG prepper which was Noah. And so we're kind of looking at his story and using some of the lessons from his story to look at how we can approach that you know very rationally now but a big part of it is that kind of helping to reframe the word prepping, right? So it's not just about you know collecting and like kind of having all the guns and ammo and everything but it's also about realizing that I think that preparedness is actually just getting back to living in a traditional way, right? So our grandparents who lived through the Great Depression or whatnot, they wouldn't say they're preppers, right? That's just how they lived and that's one of the things if you look at the social engineering that's happening, our society and everything has been designed in a way that we've we've been made intentionally by these controllers to be less and less resilient, less and less self reliant.
• 1:39:44
  And so it's really a much more of a lifestyle shift of not prepping out of fear, but I think trying to live in a way that like we're human actually, like live how God want us to live in abundance with nature, looking to permaculture, animal husbandry, community building, you know, how to bake your own bread, all the different things. And so the, know, Prep Like Noah, the purpose of that book is to really help kind of walk people through in a way that is easy to understand. So it's a kind of book that say you've been trying to get your grandma or your mom to be more prepared but she's like has a stigma towards it, oh you're a doomsday bunker kind of person, This is the book that's like okay, just give this a read. Right? It walks through the threats that we're currently facing as a world.
• 1:40:26
  It gives a lot of historical examples of times we thought that hey, we're invincible as America, then the great depression hit or the dust bowl or you know World War two or whatever it is. And just kinda walks people through the importance of preparedness but more so from the perspective like this is how we should be living. It's not just about becoming a prepper, it's about living in a way that our lifestyle inherently is baked into our lifestyle that we're outside the system, and therefore we cannot be controlled by the system, that we cannot be forced into taking the mark of the beast system. Yeah. We can actually survive outside of that, and that's one of the intentions behind that.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: When I was a child visiting my grandparents in the Midwest, they always had a root cellar. And and and all the shelves, you know, you would you would open it up. There's also a tornado shelter. You don't put it up. You go downstairs, and you're in a cooler root cellar with, like the walls were reinforced with railroad ties, you know, and then there were shelves, and you have all the jars.
• 1:41:24
  And like my grandmother, you know, she would plant in the spring, harvest in the summer, can, can, can, like crazy. And then that's what you would eat in the fall and the winter. They never said, I'm a survivalist.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 2: It was just like, of course, we're gonna store food. Otherwise, we all die. You know? I mean, this this is these are common skills back in the day. So I like your approach to that.
• 1:41:50
  They're totally common skills. And living off grid is a critical skill right now. And, of course, I like to add decentralized technology to that mix, you know, to have local AI or even eventually like local robotics and local power storage as the technology becomes capable of doing that. We're not quite there yet on some of those. But Seth, any final thoughts before we wrap this up today?
• 1:42:18
  This has been fascinating already.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, one thing is I just want to thank you for what you've done. I've learned so much from you. I mean, another example, my wife picked up a panhandle that was actually sitting over on one of our flames. She didn't realize it, she picked up a hot pan, burned her hand so bad and we're looking for solutions for this and we're thinking okay what about DMSO?
• 1:42:47
  Can we use DMSO? So I went and asked chat GPT and did some research and it's like okay no don't do that. I said hold on. She goes Seth go ask Enoch. So I went to Enoch, went to your AI and it gave us the exact way of mixing, creating a mixture of DMSO and aloe from our aloe plant to create a salve for her hand.
• 1:43:06
  And so I just want to let you know that that's why I started the show by showing some of these products, This the silver gel that you've made, we use this all the time whether it's for a bug bite or a burn or a little cut, it doesn't matter. So I just wanted that's part of what I was saying in kind of closing is just thank you for doing what you're doing and you've been an inspiration for me. Don't just be a talking head, be someone that's actually trying to build systems to help people whether you're building products, whether you're building digital infrastructure, platforms, AI, whatever it is, do something purposeful. And so I just want to thank you for that because you've been very very helpful in this journey. And so but Well, thank you, Seth.
• 1:43:46
  You know,
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 2: Let me just mention the engine that you're referring to because we changed the name. It used to be called Enoch, and now it's Bright So here it is. It's brightanswers.ai, knowledge without censorship. And, yeah, we are constantly upgrading that also with more books as reference items and more science papers. And then the other thing that we have just announced, you'll love this.
• 1:44:09
  You know, on our brightlearn.ai, we now have over 45,000 books and 10,000 authors. If you click here on audiobooks, we now have downloadable full length audiobooks. Like, the entire book is full length audio. You can download them all for free, and we're producing maybe 15 to 20 per day. So the coin dioxide audiobook, vanishing vaults, like how to how to hide your gold.
• 1:44:37
  Know, here's DMSO unlocked.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: That's There you go.
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 2: There you go. So we're we're
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: doing Foucauf.
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There's Foucauf. Yeah. Awaken your inner middle finger. Yeah.
• 1:44:48
  That's a very valuable philosophy. So now oh, and your digital doctor, etcetera. So we we're constantly, you know, trying to add more resources for people to be able to get more decentralized and and have, you know, have the PDF files and have the MP3 files so you have your local knowledge. And I also I prioritize this book, The Strait of Hormuz, so people can understand the Strait Of Hormuz. But I didn't write that book.
• 1:45:14
  Some somebody else here what's what's their name? Shazia M created that book, and then I just queued it up for the audiobook. So you can just download the audiobook right here. So, anyway, that's what we're doing. And I love the fact that you and I both are creating tools and platforms for people to help people get prepared.
• 1:45:34
  This is how we both help build community too, you know, and kind of give back to the world that has given us so much. So thank you for all that you do, Seth.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. And I think one, I guess, kind of final closing statement is that it's really important, and this is against my own struggles and my own shortfalls in this, to be doing all this stuff without fear. And that's it's not easy. Mean to me the only way to not have fear living in the world that we live in right now is just to have faith, you know, the classic faith over fear. But as as evil as this stuff is, I I think that fundamentally we have to remember that Satan didn't kick God out of heaven.
• 1:46:13
  Right? It was vice versa. So I think that anything that is allowed to happen on this earth, it's it's being allowed to happen by the creator, by God. And I think that ultimately that's the the true power. You know, if you look at these people that we're up against, I don't I don't think a lot of them even have human souls.
• 1:46:29
  I'm not sure what's inside of these bodies that are walking around, but inside of us, we have this divine spark. We have this soul that God gave us. I think God chose us to be here. And so I think it's really important though to just be able to rise above that fear because the fear it it lowers our frequency, it clouds our judgment, it caused us to do things that are not godly. Right?
• 1:46:50
  And so I think that's the the one of the keys in this. That's why this is pretty heavy conversation, you and I are both smiling. Like if someone didn't hear the actual audio to this conversation, just watch the video only, they think, wow, these guys are probably talking about their gardens and happy things. So we're covering heavy topics, have to be able to do it in a way that we can still find hope in the future. And so that's what I'm trying my best to do is to still have hope and as my podcast kind of slogan is, is to be a voice of reason in a world gone mad.
• 1:47:24
  And that's what I'm trying my best to do.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that slogan. That makes sense. And, you know, you've you've listened to a lot of my work over the years, and you've never heard me come from a place of fear either. Right?
• 1:47:34
  It's always been, well, here's a heads up. Here's a warning, but here's how to prepare. And when you're prepared, you don't have to be fearful because you know how to handle all these things as you do. You're one of the best prepared people around, you and your wife and your family. So great job, and thank you for sharing your time with us today.
• 1:47:52
  And I want to remind people again, your website is, sethwholehouse.com. Let me let me bring it up here. There there we go. Sethwholehouse.com. And then for those of you who wanna see more of, my interviews, they're at brightvideos.com.
• 1:48:06
  So thank you so much, Seth. It's been a pleasure speaking with you today. Lots of fun except for the Disneyland part, but, the rest of it was all was all good.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you so much, Mike. Okay. Sorry sorry for that little curveball.
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 2: That's alright. That's alright. Alright. Thank you. And thank you all for watching.
• 1:48:22
  Mike Adams here of brightvideos.com. Take care. Yes. The world is getting crazy, but here at the Health Ranger store, we're putting together a survival supply assortment for you. If you go to healthrangerstore.com/survival, you'll see what we put together for you, including iodine and io sat, that's a specific brand name of potassium iodide that's FDA approved or we have the nascent iodine here which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
• 1:48:55
  These are available in case things go nuclear. It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere. All the inventories will be wiped out like what happened after Fukushima in 2011. So if you wanna get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now. Healthrangerstore.com/survival.
• 1:49:16
  In addition, we have many other survival items for you here, including some silver solutions, some spirulina available in bulk and at a discount, and then a large assortment of storable organic food that's laboratory tested, including our ranger bucket sets. Here's a one hundred and ninety five day supply. We've got the mini buckets and we've also got number 10 cans available of freeze dried fruits and vegetables and other things like miso soup powder. Here's some of the buckets is a big variety available. Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
• 1:49:51
  Remember a lot of people are missing fruit. They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food. So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially again, certified organic freeze dried. That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of a storable food format. All of this is available right now and so much more.
• 1:50:15
  Just go to healthrangerstore.com/survival. And because the freeze dried foods last for so long, you know, even if you don't eat them this year or next year, just keep them on the shelf. They're gonna last a very long time with good preservation, a long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world. Now, of course, I'm praying for peace. I'm praying for de escalation.
• 1:50:37
  I don't wanna see World War three break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear. But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations. Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week? Disruptions could happen here in The United States. There could be, you know, domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in The US.
• 1:50:59
