Foreign. Hey, what's going on, guys? Welcome back to the Mike Force podcast. We got a lot to get into, including the updates on Iran and the situation in Austin, Texas where this now confirmed shooter sympathizing with Iran decides to get his jihad on. He kills two people, critically injuring more, and then gets killed by the Austin Police Department. We'll talk about that situation and also talk about what you could do to be better prepared for when this happens again, because it will happen again. So before we get into that, I want to talk about my premier sponsors Carnival. Look, I don't get an affiliate kickback from this company. They help pay the bills, the software, the microphones, all the upgraded equipment that we got. These guys are big supporters of the podcast Carnival. Beef, chicken, pork, freeze dried. And this is top sirloin, which is a single pack. This is 25 grams of protein. Clean eating because it's just grass fed beef, no antibiotics, none of that garbage and it's all sourced here in America. You can't get more American than that 25 year shelf life, but also constitutes with your favorite bone broth or seasoning and then you can eat it for. I had it for breakfast this morning with my eggs. Also Wasach Wegu. I don't know why beef companies love Mike Force podcast, but they do. My buddy Greg owns Wasatch Wagyu, which is a local business here in Wasatch on the Wasatch front, the mountains I'm surrounded by in Wasatch County. But also this is Wagyu Beef, the best beef turkey you'll ever have. I'll link down an incentive coupon, code the description down below. Guys, when we look at the situation Iran and how it's falling apart, and I say that not factiously, I, I think there's a lot of things that are happening initially that we thought we were going to take advantage of. But then we underestimated a lot of Iran's capability. Right now over a hundred missiles and 100 drones have been launched from Iran. And I thought out the gate they're going to strike all these surgical targets, these predetermined targets that launch any ballistic missiles and drones and there's no chance they're going to get anything out. Well, that's changed rapidly in the last 48 hours because they conducted attacks on Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Kuwait, where the casualties, the first killed in action, Americans, these service members that were likely hit with a ballistic missile were killed when they attacked. I don't know if it was the embassy or a facility In Kuwait. On top of that, today it was just put out that three F15 fighter jets were shot down by the Kuwaiti military air defense systems. I don't know how that happens. One, you didn't friendly deconflake that that obviously didn't happen. But two, the fact that a Kuwaiti air defense system can shoot down three of our country's F15s, miraculously, all six pilots, two per survived with minor injuries. They all ejected, which is insane just to even think about. It's like millions of dollars in capability all shot down by friendly forces. Now, these are the things that happen in this chaos, in this fog called war. And this is bound to continue to happen. Now, part of the regional conflict now is the Iranians are just lashing out against everybody, not only American interests, but they're targeting hotels and civilian buildings and mostly Sunni countries that are allied with Americans. And how is this going to end up? Well, we already know based on the reports that the Ayatollah was killed. Now does an IRGC more radical person take over? I don't know. I don't know how this ends. It's probably not going to end well. I do have faith, however, based on listening to the commentary from Secretary Hegseth this morning, that our involvement is going to be limited with surgical strikes with specific objectives. And according to Hegseth, not a long campaign with the, this idea that the, the narrative, especially on the left, is running with that they're going to involve boots on the ground and this is going to be a long campaign war. Apparently that's not what's going to take place, according to the secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. But as I just reported, Bloomberg just put out, Trump says US Will keep up military offensive against Iran for as long as it takes. Now, I don't know what that objective is. Is it regime change? That's probably one of the objectives. But if they continue to lash out, which they've already declared they're going to do, they, I'm paraphrasing here, but they said they're going to continue to, to attack until Israel and the US Is destroyed. Well, that's not going to happen. Like, that's, that's comical at best. But what else could happen? Well, what else could happen is continued strikes and retaliation across the region with proxy organizations to include Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis. In addition to that, there is a chance of domestic attacks. We've already seen it. It just happened in Austin, Texas over the weekend after the Ayatollah was announced being killed by an Israeli airstrike. Could this evolve into sleeper cells which do exist? This is not controversy. This, this exists by all intel organizations that have reported, including the CIA, that sleeper cells do exist. Is this going to be a massive campaign of sleeper cells retaliating and attacking Americans on American soil? We shall see. Because it's going to happen. It's going to happen over the next few days, if not weeks. So first and foremost, let's Talk about the March 1st and backwards talk it and plan it. When it started on February 28th. So on February 28th, US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran. That happened. Now apparently we provided them with the intel that allowed them to strike specific targets which included 200 fighter jets. 200. Those 200 fighter jets hit hundreds of targets to include military infrastructure, their nuclear program, Iranian military and their leadership compounds allegedly killing 48 members of the IRGC and leadership, including killing the Ayatollah Ali Khamani who is confirmed killed in these strikes even by the Iranians. As this evolved, immediately the Iranians launched a missile and drone retaliation strike. They apparently said on they're now on their sixth or seventh wave and have reported that they killed 500 US service members. That's what they're putting out. Okay, so we know that's not true number one. But two, they also said that Israel struck a school and northern Iran and killed over a hundred people to include many students. I've looked into the video, I've looked into the footage. None of that footage shows any dead children anywhere. And you know they would be plastered everywhere if that was true. So take their intelligence or their information with a grain of salt. So Israel pro Israel population centers and military locations were struck. There was a report of nine innocent Israelis killed in a village when their area was struck with a Iranian missile. Some of these drones have been effective in getting through the air defense security, but so far have caused minimal casualties. And in one case in Dubai, an airport and a hotel were struck with only I believe in the airport one person passed away, but in the hotel there are only injuries. So Gulf states infrastructure to include airports and ports were struck and then US and allied military bases across the region. Of note, consulates and embassies have been protested against and even struck. In one incident in Karachi, they went through the gate, burned the guard shack on fire and then tried to penetrate the compound. And the U.S. marines that guard the embassies and consulates across the globe open fired in self defense and winded up killing. The reports are as low as 9 to 22 alleged protesters that were obviously terrorist trying to breach these compounds. Iranian aligned drones struck British RAF bases prompting expanded regional security measures. And today over a thousand Iranian targets, military command missile systems have been, have been hit so far. And this is just right before coming on here I did an update. This is today over a thousand targets have been hit. There's direct Iranian attacks on Israel since 2024 and these accelerated into 25 just as a reminder. And direct US attacks on Iran occurred in June of 2025 and obviously here in February of 2026. So Iranian retaliation against US and Israeli forces and allies include missile drone strikes on military bases, allied countries and regional infrastructure. They just, the Iranians just attacked a ship in, in the Strait of Hormuz because they said it's closed off when 20% of the oil in the world goes to that strait to include massive amounts of trade. And they've already attacked a, a local ship that was going through the strait. So this is going to be an on ongoing campaign that we're gonna have to update you nearly daily which is why on my patreon.com Mike Glover which I'll link down below, we're not only doing a lot of updates on the war in Iran, but also domestic issues to include how you could best prepare. I already lined it out. I put this on a post on my Instagram. It's Mike A. Glover on three things that you need to do like now. One is you need to have a plan with your family. Two, you need to have better situational awareness. Avoid these locations like crowded areas where they're bound to strike. Don't be out at a bar at 2 in the morning. And I know what you're thinking like why wouldn't I exercise my freedoms? Guys, it's not the time and place. We're the most vulnerable we've been not by a potential adversary, but an adversary were in a campaign of war against that has sleeper cells in our country. So I'm just telling you be smart, don't be in crowded areas. Don't be putting yourself in a situation where you know you're going on vacation in a place that, where, where radical Islamists hate you and you'll be a target. And then third, I talked about the necessity for you to have your bags packed to include speedball which we talk about that on Patreon. I can't get into detail on here. It's just an upgraded level of tactical capability. Your bug out bag because you for sure need a bug out bag. And then your self defense protocol that is hugely important. And again you can see all that stuff down in my patreon.com my Glover look, it is absolutely free for the strategic things that I do and break down on that. You can upgrade tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3. For more information. I'm doing a breakout this week on how to build an ifac, what you should be carrying on your person as well as situational awareness as far as classes go. Here's what we know about the shooter. He's a 53 year old from Senegal. Now he's a naturalized US citizen, but he's originally from Senegal. He entered the US in 2000 on a tourist visa, later married a U S citizen, obtained a green card in 06 and became a U S citizen in 2013. He's lived most recently in Flugerville, Texas and has ties to Northeast San Antonio. Shortly before 2am on March 1, 2026, he drove around the entertainment district several times and then opened fire with, they believe, a pistol outside the bar and then reportedly grabbed an assault rifle and began firing from his vehicle and then on foot. Police officers on the scene promptly engaged him. The chief of Police is advertising 55 to 57 seconds from the initial call to when they arrived on scene and engage the threat, fatally shooting him during the confrontation. Now I will say this, that if it wasn't for the Austin Police Department that showed up so quickly because they obviously have officers in the vicinity of 6th street in this area because there's a lot of people intoxicated and things happen if they didn't have anybody in that area that could respond quickly, every second that went by there would have likely been a casualty. So police officers on the scene promptly engaged him, family shooting him during the confrontation but not before. Two people, two patrons were killed and then at least 14 others were wounded, with several in critical condition. So he was wearing a sweatshirt that said Property of Allah. He had woodland camo pants on and he had an undershirt featuring an Iranian flag design. Investigators found a Quran in his vehicle and and reports indicate other items at his residence included Iranian flags and images of Iranian leaders. Now this was somebody who was sympathetic to the cause, learned of the Ayatollah's passing and decided to get his jihad on. Was he directly tied to an organization in Iran? Was he controlled by an asset? We don't know that, but we need to find that out. These elements have raised possible ideological or terrorism linked motives, but authorities emphasize the investigation is ongoing and no definitive motive. It's, it's not yet been confirmed Specifically so, in addition to that, there are some people that have advertised that while he was on scene, he was yelling Allah Akbar while he was shooting patrons. He did not appear on any federal terrorist watch list before the incident. Uh, this occurred one day after the coordinated attack which killed Iranian leadership and prompted investigators to explore whether that geopolitical event may have influenced the attack. You think? Yeah. You think so? One is, is there going to be deliberate attacks across the United States? Yes. The answer is going to be yes. And the indication of this is right out the gate, this happens. Now, this is considered more, in my opinion, a hasty attack. It is emotional. This guy was a sympathizer. He believes in the cause. He's Shia for sure. He's got his Quran. He gets his jihad on. Well, what happens when the deliberate campaign kicks off? So the FBI placed its counter terrorism and intelligence units on high alert to monitor potential threats within the United States, including retaliation attempts or mobilization by extremist sympathizers. Cash Patel publicly said FBI counterterrorism teams are operating 247 to deter and respond to possible domestic or international terror threats. Counterterrorism experts, not just the FBI, have warned that Iran align groups with historic NETWORKS in the U.S. that's Hezbollah, Hamas. External networks could seek to exploit geopolitical escalation to incite or inspire violence on. On US Soil. It's not just going to be physical attacks, but the campaign information Operations Wise has already started. It's all over the Internet. The comments, the propaganda is being pushed to incite bad guys to come out of the woodwork and to conduct attacks. These discussions frequently reference sleeper cells, covert operas, or supporters embedded in communities that could act opportunistically rather than openly organized conspiracies. And, and here's the point. These will be deliberate campaigns and attacks. That won't be two casualties, right? This guy gets out, he doesn't know what he's doing. He. He takes shots. He goes into this circumstance, gets killed in 57 seconds by Austin police. One of the things that I saw that I'm going to talk about in one of my Patreon segments, especially on mass casualties, is what you don't do right after casualties are created. If you see people injured and you're not injured yourself, should you start treating casualties immediately because you see that they're injured and you need to stop the bleed? The answer is no. I know it's kind of counterintuitive. It's, it's. It's not natural as a protector or defender to say that out Loud or to do it. But it's very important because any security type situation where you were just initially attacked, there could always be a secondary attack. That could be the point of creating all the casualties. Just like the Boston Marathon bombers, they initiated a bomb. Everybody first responded to the scene and they clocked off another one. So it is classic insurgency bad guy tactics to initiate an attack, create some kind of behavioral response and then exploit that response with a second wave of attacks. There are videos that were out there of people doing CPR on casualties where they fail. Obviously that's the X. What you could do is one, secure the scene. And in some cases they were doing cpr. There was police officers with carbines around, so it did look secure. But you could take the casualty off the ex, even pulling them into a room and treat them under cover and some type of concealment rather than doing it in the open where you were just exposed and the initial casualties were taken. I think his M.O. was he was going to create casualties. He pulled his vehicle over, he was going to take advantage of everybody fleeing from that area, but also everybody who was disoriented on the objective where he initiated his ambush, taking them out as well. We have to be very careful of that. And these are things that I'll discuss in my Patreon segment. It is not a matter of if, it is when these attacks will happen. They will happen in our country. And the ultimate question is, are you prepared to deal with something like this? I'll give you one pro tip. One, avoid crowded areas. And if you decide to go into an area that is crowded, know the exits and be armed. This idea of not being armed because of the venue or because of restrictions or whatever it may be, you need to be armed because if you're not armed, you don't stand a chance. The acronym run, hide, fight doesn't work in general, but especially it doesn't work against terrorists whose ideology is pushing them not to just kill people, but to be a martyr for their cause. There is no escape. They're going to do whatever it takes and they're going to track down every single casualty. And if you're not armed, then you're not going to be prepared. You need the tactical advantage. We talk about something called a speed ball, which is enhancing your tactical capability. But we save it for Patreon because again, we get suppressed if we talk too much about this stuff on this platform. Guys, I appreciate you. Please stay vigilant and more to follow because we got a lot of follow ups to this. This week. Just be ready and be vigilant. Till next time. Peace out, guys.
