Mike Smith of Out of the Shadows LIVE, Disgraced Dana Bash. B2T Show, Aug 3, 2026

Show Notes

B2T Show Video Description Summary

Opening Beliefs and Show Setup

• Rick B2T states he believes a cabal of secret societies has controlled the world for 200-plus years and that this is the time to watch it fall.
• He believes one person working with other Christian patriots can have a massive impact in reversing an ungodly culture.
• He affirms an omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent God has put His hand on this moment to deny the enemy’s timeline and heal the land.
• Rick says God called him to empower Christian patriots with truth.
• Welcome to the Blessed2Teach show. The second hour will be PraiseNPrayer.
• Planned topics include Mike Smith from Out of Shadows live, Dana Bash getting schooled by HHS Secretary RFK Jr., an Iran update, and more breaking news.

Aaron Rodgers on ESPN Calls Out Network and Fauci

• ESPN (Disney-owned, NFL owns about 10%) has long criticized Aaron Rodgers for refusing the COVID shot.
• On the Pat McAfee show, Rodgers is asked about his final season mindset with the Steelers.
• He pleads the fifth at first, then unleashes.
• Rodgers mocks Tony Fauci for pleading the fifth over 100 times, calls him an absolute coward, and notes the network spent endless time on his vaccine status and Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce while ignoring Fauci.
• He states the COVID virus was made in a lab in China (no longer questionable) and that Fauci is an absolute criminal.
• Rodgers says he is on good terms with his family and asks what the network will say about him now that the old COVID narrative is collapsing.
• Crowd cheers; Rick frames this as part of the broader awakening and notes ESPN’s ownership makes the open criticism surprising.
• Rick does not expect Rodgers to keep getting much airtime after this.

RFK Jr. Schools Dana Bash on CNN

• Full segment runs about 8 minutes; Rick plays key clips.
• Dana Bash repeats Big Pharma talking points: COVID vaccine prevented deaths, protected children, and vaccine hesitancy cost 100–200,000 lives.
• RFK Jr. repeatedly asks her to cite one study showing the COVID vaccine protected children or did more good than harm. She cannot.
• He states her claim that environmental factors and autism have been fully studied is false. Genes create vulnerability; environment triggers it.
• Bash tries to pivot to “vaccine disinformation.” RFK calls her statements nonsense she cannot support with data.
• Audio levels appear to favor Bash; she talks over him.
• Rick notes studies now show higher deaths and side effects in the vaccinated, plus higher COVID rates.
• He calls the interview a classic battle and says Bash was disgraced in public and online.
• Rick ties it to CNN’s job of scaring people, overcounting COVID deaths (including gunshot victims), PCR test misuse, and payments for remdesivir and ventilators—calling it crimes against humanity.

Trump Was Right About Venezuela

• Newsweek (normally hostile) runs a piece acknowledging Trump was right on Venezuela.
• Oil is now flowing to the United States instead of to U.S. enemies.
• Rick presents this as more evidence that mainstream media is being forced to admit truths.

Missing Children and Sanctuary Cities

• Trump posts about missing children and states sanctuary cities are actively blocking efforts to locate them.
• Graphic shown: 148,000 kids located between February and July, with many still missing because of sanctuary policies.
• Separate graphic: 84% of ICE detainers not honored. Numbers cited include 15,206 ICE detainers lodged and 38,541 related criminal charges/convictions ignored.
• Rick frames this as part of an effort to inflate voter rolls and create an “army” for political power—crimes against humanity that will eventually require military tribunals because civil courts are infiltrated.

Iran Update and Talks

• Trump announces Iran talks to begin Monday.
• He describes a planned massive strike (harder than any attack since World War II) that was called off after Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and others urgently contacted the U.S.
• Iran leadership is called “unbelievably duplicitous”—they request talks then publicly deny any discussions.
• Trump states the Strait of Hormuz is already controlled by the U.S. Navy (“wall of steel”). Nothing gets through without a deal or total surrender.
• Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
• Rick notes Hamas also agreed to disarm for the first time as their funding is cut off by Treasury actions under Scott Bessent.

Twin Falls, Idaho In-N-Out Shooting and Citizen Hero

• On August 1, a shooter opened fire at a new In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho during heavy lines.
• Two people died; others injured. Shooter had already killed people and was hunting more targets.
• A civilian, Jordan Salinas of Kimberly, Idaho (no military background), was heading to horseback riding with his girlfriend, saw people running, retrieved his firearm, and returned fire.
• Salinas trains regularly and posts firearm drills on YouTube as “Poverty Operator.” He previously posted: “Trained like a life depends on it because one day it might.”
• The shooter (described as an angry liberal; AR-15 used) is dead. Media largely ignores the story because a private citizen with a gun stopped or diverted the attack.
• Rick highlights this as clear evidence for the Second Amendment.

Spain’s Illegal Alien Invasion as Warning

• Spain’s amnesty and weak border policies led to rapid takeover of areas by illegal migrants.
• Silly laws (climbing a fence illegal, swimming around it legal) are cited as examples of self-destructive socialist policies.
• Rick warns this is a preview of what happens if open-border policies return in the United States.

Q References and Senate Confirmation News

• Anons point to Q drops 342 and 1242 about the end being near and the world awakening.
• Image of Jesus over Trump is shown; Rick urges continued prayer that Trump stays humble and follows the Lord’s ways.
• Q drop 2274 said to trust Grassley. Grassley is credited by Mike Davis with saving Todd Blanche’s Attorney General nomination from near death.
• Judiciary Committee vote on Blanche set for Tuesday at 9 a.m.; rhinos Tillis and Cornyn switching to support.
• Grassley described as a workhorse who delivers on judges, DOJ, taxes, trade, and more.

Interview with Mike Smith – Background and Hollywood Years

• Mike Smith spent 30 years in Hollywood starting as a stunt performer (Batman, James Bond roles among others).
• Progressed to fight choreographer, stunt coordinator, action/second-unit director, then main-unit directing and writing.
• In 2014 he was paralyzed from the waist down after a catastrophic injury.
• The injury shattered his identity, ego, and daily life. During recovery he began researching Operation Mockingbird, MK Ultra, Operation Paperclip, and other systems.
• He realized media, movies, cartoons, and television carry deliberate narratives and predictive programming.
• After finding Jesus he decided he could no longer participate in projects whose underlying morals he rejected. He burned lists of things he liked and disliked about himself and reset his purpose.

Interview with Mike Smith – Spiritual Encounter and Armor of God

• After truly getting saved, Smith was attacked by a dark spiritual entity that stood in front of him and reached to touch him.
• He believed he was about to die. A Bible verse on the full armor of God (feet shod with the gospel, belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, sword of the Spirit, shield of faith, helmet of salvation) flooded his mind.
• He rebuked Satan with the blood of Jesus Christ; the entity disappeared.
• Earlier he had rebuked “in the name of Jesus” and the entity laughed at him. The blood of Christ was the difference.
• As a lifelong martial artist he had never felt that kind of fear because he did not know how to fight spiritually.
• God led him to read the Book of Enoch (still in the Ethiopian Bible). It changed how he understood Genesis 6, the Nephilim, and spiritual realities.
• He stresses closing portals (drugs, pornography, unforgiveness, generational curses) and using the blood of Christ and the Word to bind and break them.
• Forgiveness is highlighted as essential; holding unforgiveness damages the person holding it more than the offender.

Interview with Mike Smith – Making Out of Shadows and Into the Light

• During recovery downtime he connected dots on media manipulation and decided to make a film.
• Brad (longtime friend and former competitor) immediately said he was all in. Kevin Shipp and Liz Crokin also contributed.
• God instructed him: make the movie, take no credit, put it out free, and do not defend yourself when attacked.
• Out of Shadows went global, was translated into 24 languages by unknown helpers, and reached well over 100 million views (later estimates higher). It still has 24 million views on his restored X account alone.
• Critics tried to label it a QAnon movie even though Q is never mentioned and it is not political.
• Into the Light was made because God told him to explain exactly how people are manipulated (confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, narrative seeding) and why it is hard for them to see it. The film is about one hour.
• Smith is considering releasing Into the Light free as well because of heavy censorship.

Interview with Mike Smith – Current Projects and Views on Awakening

• On X he is @Crux (old World of Warcraft character name from his stunt days).
• He recently appeared with Laura Logan.
• On Epstein and related scandals: he knows enough to know he does not know everything. Many moving parts exist. He hopes the staged declassification (election fraud, COVID, then the darker material) is real but will not claim certainty. God’s control is the only solid ground.
• Election integrity is the number-one issue. Without clean elections the country cannot be reclaimed. Corruption runs through all branches.
• He has been working about a year and a half on infrastructure to counter fake news and support independent media. Details are not public yet; he hopes to return to the show once it launches.
• Rick notes his own FaithNFreedomTV effort to amplify ReAwaken-type voices onto Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, FAST channels, and a community platform. They agree independent efforts can later connect.
• Smith’s book After They Cut (double meaning: after surgery and after the industry cut) is nearly finished. It covers his healing journey, opioid addiction he did not realize he had, and a hard chapter on PTSD from decades of stunts, explosions, and injuries. He expects to finish in three to four weeks.
• He is also involved with Brian Gamble on a project called Cpin (Child Protection Intelligence Network). They plan a future joint appearance.
• Children are the core battlefield; Satan targets innocence.

Closing Prayer with Mike Smith

• Smith asks not for specific requests but for gratitude and thanksgiving for the restoration God has already done in his life, family, and work. He requests continued restoration, blessings, and protection.
• Elizabeth (Australia) prays protection over Mike, his family and team, open eyes regarding children, and gratitude.
• Gus prays thanksgiving for Mike’s open life and testimony, protection, clarity, and leading by the Holy Spirit.
• Rick closes, agreeing with the prayers, binding dark powers, loosing angels, and asking for listening ears and eyes to see God’s path. He emphasizes enjoying the process of the long spiritual battle.
• Mike’s last word: sometimes you just have to take a knee and pray. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
• Rick points viewers again to intothelight.movie and @Crux on X, then transitions the show into PraiseNPrayer / WordNWorship.

Opening and Show Setup

• Rick B2T opens by powering Christian patriots with truth.
• First half hour is news. Second half hour features filmmaker and director Chris Burgard.
• Rick highlights the fight against propaganda and the need for truth.

Spain Border Crisis

• Thousands of military-age migrants are overwhelming Spain’s borders right now.
• Spain’s left-wing government recently ran a large amnesty program. Over 1.3 million illegal immigrants applied between April and June.
• Locals want an emergency declaration and military help at the border. The government is refusing.
• Rick calls this the same kind of pull factor and open-border chaos that hit the United States years earlier. Leftist policies are designed to weaken the West.

Anthony Fauci Senate Hearing Takeaways

• Fauci took the Fifth Amendment about 112 times even after receiving an auto-pen pardon.
• He used government employees to help him get more than a million dollars in grants and prizes.
• Ron Johnson said Fauci covered up evidence that Ivermectin works.
• Fauci hired a criminal defense attorney and faces questions about deleted federal records.
• Rand Paul confirmed a contempt vote is possible.
• Rick Scott told Fauci how lockdowns hurt families.
• Fetterman now regrets earlier partnership on the lab-leak issue.
• Fauci’s lawyers were removed from the hearing.
• Commentators (even on CNN) note that pleading the Fifth after a pardon looks bad and could lead to contempt charges.

House Redistricting and Election Outlook

• New analysis shows Democrats face much harder math to retake the House after mid-decade redistricting.
• They now need to win about 57 of 77 competitive seats.
• Cook Political numbers flipped from strong Democratic odds to a better chance of Republican gains.
• Rick notes selection machines and unclean voter rolls still exist, especially in blue states, but redistricting makes the path harder for Democrats.
• He believes Trump is preparing for every scenario, including possible use of the machines one more time while more people wake up.

Trump on Europe’s Migrant and Energy Crisis

• Trump blasted Europe’s migrant invasion and told the new UK leader to fix the borders.
• He pointed out America’s border is now strong (zero crossings reported for 14 months in the claim) while Europe’s is weak.
• Trump urged opening North Sea oil instead of relying on Chinese-made windmills.
• He said green policies are a scam tied to Agenda 2030 and are destroying Western countries.

Todd Blanche Attorney General Nomination

• Vote on Todd Blanche’s nomination is delayed by opposition from John Cornyn and Thom Tillis.
• Trump called Blanche a star and said he could be one of the greatest attorneys general.
• Trump threatened to temporarily withdraw the nomination and renominate him after Cornyn and Tillis leave office.
• Both senators previously voted for Merrick Garland.
• Rick notes Trump can keep Blanche as acting attorney general for a long time either way.

Chris Burgard – Introduction and Background

• Rick B2T welcomes filmmaker and director Chris Burgard, whom he met at the ReAwaken Tour.
• This is Chris’s first time on the B2T Show.
• Chris spent nearly 40 years working in Hollywood.
• He was born in Wisconsin and is a Packers fan.
• He worked on and off at the border for about 20 years.
• He and his family now live in East Texas near Mount Pleasant on a ranch.
• Chris says every day is Christmas and that he is blessed to live in Texas.
• He had planned to retire but instead continues fighting the Muslim Brotherhood, a battle he has been in for 19 years.

Red-Pill Moment and the Movie “Border”

• Around 2005, while living on a ranch in the Southern California mountains, Chris worked with a father and son who had come from Mexico.
• They described how cartels took over their village and forced people to work for them.
• When crossing the border, the men had guns put to their heads and were ordered to carry drugs or die in the desert.
• They also told him about “rape trees.”
• This experience led Chris to make the film Border (produced 2005–2007).
• Border was one of three films he screened for Congress.
• The movie helped open eyes to the realities of cartel control, human trafficking, and border violence.

Shift from Hollywood to Activism

• Chris left the normal Hollywood path because he saw the cultural and spiritual battle for the country.
• He chose to use his filmmaking talents to fight for truth instead of staying comfortable in the industry.
• Rick praises him for staying in the arts and entertainment mountain and using it for good rather than abandoning it.
• Chris has spent nearly two decades training people on the Muslim Brotherhood threat through groups that later became the Allied Special Intelligence Group (ASIG).
• ASIG trains military, law enforcement, politicians, and civilians on how the Muslim Brotherhood operates and how to counter it. Their website is ASIG2.com.

Local Victory Against Sharia in Texas Schools

• In a small East Texas cowboy town, an attempt was made to introduce Sharia-influenced rules into the schools (including restrictions on drawing Jesus at Christmas).
• Chris, who already had training on the Muslim Brotherhood, worked with a school-board president whose family had escaped Iran.
• They brought churches, the town council, and the school board together.
• They explained who the Muslim Brotherhood is, how CAIR functions as its propaganda arm, and what Sharia law actually requires.
• The school board voted 5–0 to reverse the decision and kick Sharia influence out of the district.
• Liberals and conservatives in the town united on the issue.
• CAIR later got involved with legal pressure, which is a common tactic.

The New Movie: “Remember the Alamo” / “Don’t Sharia My Texas”

• Chris spoke with General Michael Flynn about the need for a film that wakes America up to the Islamic threat in Texas and shows a path to victory.
• Flynn strongly encouraged him to make it.
• Chris and his team produced the movie in only five months (normally a one-year process).
• The film is titled around “Remember the Alamo” and “Don’t Sharia My Texas.”
• Website given on the show: rememberthealamomovie.com.
• The movie includes historical elements of the Texas Revolution mixed with a modern warning.
• One section is a cartoon version of the “Second Battle of San Jacinto” in which Santa Anna leads an army of jihadis and loses to the Texans.
• It features the “Come and Take It” flag and the song “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”
• Chris explains that the Yellow Rose of Texas was a mulatto woman who spied inside Santa Anna’s camp; some say she was with him when the surprise attack happened at 3:30 in the afternoon.
• The film aims to remind Texans who they are and to remove fear.

Hijra, Civilization Jihad, and Tactics in Texas

• Chris teaches that what is happening is “hijra” — immigration jihad — modeled after Muhammad’s move from Mecca to Medina.
• Muhammad used politics, violence, and playing factions against each other until he controlled the region.
• The same strategy is being used in Europe and now in America.
• Vienna, once the place where Islamic expansion was stopped centuries ago, is now about 10% Muslim.
• Muhammad is one of the most popular baby names in the UK and across Europe.
• In Texas, 24 mosques were built in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 24 months and the effort is pushing eastward.
• Mosques and Islamic centers are often built first; the surrounding three-mile radius is then treated as sovereign territory.
• People are then brought in. Dallas has been called the “new Mecca of the West.”
• The stated goal of the Muslim Brotherhood is to take Texas, then America, then Western civilization.
• Halal food is described as meat sacrificed to idols (foreign gods). Chris notes that Jewish kosher practices do not force food into public schools the way halal is being pushed.
• Friends in Parker and Allen, Texas, report DoorDash deliveries arriving with halal stickers.
• Public street prayers by military-age men and the broadcasting of the call to prayer five times a day are presented as territory-claiming acts of jihad, not simply religious expression.
• Noise ordinances are sometimes ignored to allow the call to prayer.

Parallels to Nigeria and the Clash of Civilizations

• Chris draws strong parallels between Texas and Nigeria.
• Both were attacked on 9/11.
• Texas is the energy capital of America; Nigeria is the energy capital of Africa.
• Texas is the buckle of the Bible Belt; Nigeria has a high concentration of Christians who are under attack.
• The big difference is the Second Amendment — Nigerians do not have it.
• He shows footage and accounts of Christian genocide, child trafficking, and rape in Muslim-majority areas.
• Chris states this is a clash of civilizations, not merely a clash of religions.
• Islam, in his view, is a complete civilization and political system centered on Sharia, not just a private faith.
• Sharia is the common thread linking the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and global jihad movements.
• He notes that over 500 Catholic churches have been assaulted in the U.S. since 2020, while attacks on mosques receive far more media attention.

Warning About the Future and the Path Forward

• Chris says Islam is projected to become the number-two religion in the United States by 2040 if nothing changes.
• He does not want violence, but he believes that if the current path continues and Sharia grows in Texas, Texans will not accept it and conflict will result.
• He references Tommy Robinson’s family story of a young cousin raped by a group of Muslim men while authorities refused to act for fear of being called bigots.
• Chris believes the same pattern is coming to Texas unless people wake up.
• He repeatedly emphasizes the biblical command “Do not fear” (appearing hundreds of times in Scripture).
• When Texans remember who they are — the spirit of the Alamo and “Come and Take It” — they stand up.
• Texas is on the front lines for the future of Western civilization.
• “If Texas falls, the rest of the United States falls.”
• “America starts in Texas. This is America. Another Alamo. This time we’re gonna win.”

Closing of the Interview

• Rick and Chris urge viewers to watch the movie.
• Chris’s team can send a link if needed.
• The film is already facing censorship pressure, including media hit pieces that quote CAIR and liberal professors instead of interviewing him.
• Rick thanks Chris for the courage to keep fighting in the arts and entertainment mountain and for using film to expose truth.
