Welcome to Free Range American. I'm Evan Hafer and Tyler Merritt back again.

Round four, five, ten, I don't know, who cares?

Okay, Tyler's got a ton of stuff to do. He's highly caffeinated, very effective.

Where's he gonna jump right into it? What hell's going on, Tyler?

Ah, dang. Well, this is a, I thought, a time limit, 45 minutes. I don't think we have all enough time to go over it. So the highlights. Yeah, yeah, let's hit it. Yeah, I think everyone knows this pathogen, and there's a lot of people out there that say it's just like the flu. Why is everyone freaking out? Why do we be concerned, you know, we're not a fascist regime. I care about my father, I care about my mother, and they're the ones at risk. I probably already had this thing, pooped my brains out and don't know it, but shedding it to someone else that I care about, that's the concern. So there are a lot of unknowns. There's a lot of things that have not been published that I am fortunately privy to. And I've been working with some of our friends in the Special Operations Group helping DOD, some of our friends in State Department, sourcing things like this, as well as other PPE. I think think in the last couple weeks we've sourced about

a half a billion dollars worth of PPE. One of the biggest things is getting it out of a

country that is not necessarily our best relationship. While we're doing that, I got a

strong relationship with the CEO of Bella Canvas.

They make the raw garments for our USA-made shirts.

Work with the CEO of Haynes.

Work with a few other groups.

We'd like to call it that coalition of the willing.

And it's a bunch of individuals that came together.

California was shutting down Bella Canvas unless they were essential.

So Chris and I have had conversations pretty much every night.

Chris Blakely is their CEO, great guy.

And he transformed his cutting operations.

He's got the largest US manufacturing of apparel goods in the country, in this country.

And he's got some really talented people.

So we came up with this mass. This is simple.

I think right now we're doing about 100 million of these a week and distributing them out to everyone.
