	All right, welcome to the Situation Update for Tuesday, October 4th, 2021.
	Mike Adams here.
	I just gotta wonder, is it challenging to keep up with all the stuff that I'm putting out there?
	Because I can barely keep up with the schedule of doing all these interviews and podcasts.
	I mean, just yesterday, for example, it was three hours on my part.
	To do the podcast and the interview with Aaron Brickman.
	But again, I think it was a very important interview.
	Really worth doing.
	That turned out to be an hour and a half interview plus my hour and a half podcast.
	So that's three hours in the evening.
	Plus everything else is going on.
	All the stories and everything.
	If you're having trouble keeping up, I get it.
	I'm having trouble keeping up.
	Some days I wish that I could just...
	Not have to do any of the shows that I do and just listen to somebody else give me the similar analysis because I would like to know what's going on in the world without having to work at it so hard sometimes, you know?
	Well, I say that with a bit of satire.
	It is still very rewarding to share all of this with you.
	And tonight, by the way, I have two interviews.
	I don't yet know if I'm going to put both of them in the podcast or if maybe one of them Is a no-show just due to circumstances or what's going to happen?
	I'm not sure.
	But I've got two interviews coming up here on top of this podcast.
	And then I did an extra interview on Friday with an organic food certifier.
	And we took a deep dive into organic agriculture and, quote, synthetic fertilizers versus organic fertilizers or natural fertilizers.
	That was a fascinating conversation.
	I don't know when I'm going to post that.
	It'll probably be sometime this week.
	But I do love talking to interesting people.
	And I hope you're enjoying these interviews that I'm doing as well.
	Trust me, if both of my interviews make it tonight, oh, you're going to love it.
	It's going to be quite amazing.
	We're getting some really amazing people to join us for these interviews.
	I'm glad everybody's thinking about all these guests and what they're saying and checking it out and kind of doing your own research and so on.
	We had a lot of great comments about my interview with Aaron Brickman yesterday.
	Of course, Aaron Brickman is the one who's talking about cycles of the moon and the sun, the solar eclipses.
	And what that has to do with aligning with market crashes throughout history.
	And, you know, that one threw a lot of people sideways like, what, how can the moon affect the markets?
	Well, folks, the moon affects way more than you think.
	It affects crops and planting.
	I mean, just ask any old-timer farmers.
	You've got to plant according to the moon cycles.
	You're going to get a lot better results.
	The moon affects aquatic ecosystems.
	It affects the entire ocean and the cycles and patterns of ocean life because it affects tides.
	And the moon broadcasts, well, reflects light, extra sunlight.
	So the sunlight affects animals.
	And it also affects us, by the way.
	If you get more moonlight into your consciousness, even while you're sleeping, then your brain works differently than if you have no light whatsoever.
	By the way, that's all proven by, you know, straight up modern science.
	So yeah, the moon affects us.
	It's just that A lot of people don't think about what are the implications of the moon's cycles or the impacts on human psychology.
	Now, it doesn't mean, and even Brickman said this himself, he doesn't have a crystal ball, he doesn't know exactly what's going to happen on which day and how low or high things are going to go.
	It's just that, at least the theory that makes sense to me, is that human emotions move in cycles and in waves and And there are cosmic reasons for these cycles.
	And by the way, there are also other people who believe that solar activity affects human psychology.
	And that more solar flares can actually cause changes in human behavior as well.
	And then there are people who believe the positions of the planets also affect human emotions and experiences.
	And not just in a, quote, astrology point of view, but rather...
	Some kind of actual influence taking place, which I find intriguing because of the whole concept of morphic resonance.
	And you know my free audiobook called The Contagious Mind, which talks about...
	Non-locality and the broadcasting and reception of information through consciousness.
	And I think all of this is related.
	In fact, if you go into that book, again, it's a free audiobook, The Contagious Mind.
	And you can download it.
	Just go to the top of naturalnews.com, click on audiobooks, you'll see it.
	But that talks about what's called the 100th Monkey Concept.
	And the 100th Monkey Concept has been...
	Erroneously described by others who don't get it.
	So let me explain the 100th monkey concept here, just to clarify, because I've heard people, even other people on YouTube or on the Internet, just completely mess up what the 100th monkey phenomenon really is.
	So what it is not, it is not that on this island, some monkeys figured out how to wash the sand off of, I think, sweet potatoes, and then once a hundred monkeys were all washing the potatoes, then all the rest of the monkeys instantly saw that happening, and they began to wash the potatoes.
	They washed the sand off.
	They were actually washing it off in a...
	Like a little stream waterfall of some kind.
	So it's not about the fact that 100 monkeys did it and then all the rest of the monkeys on the same island began doing it.
	No, it's not what it's about at all.
	It's about that 100 monkeys did it on one island and then all the monkeys on other islands that had no contact with the original 100 monkeys, they began doing it.
	Even though no one had shown them how to do it.
	The 100th monkey concept refers to the The patterns of knowledge that are broadcast and that are picked up unconsciously among living beings.
	In other words, it's a form of cosmic communication between the consciousness of living beings, even if they have no physical contact with each other.
	Monkeys aren't actually sending email or anything like that.
	They don't have little monkey Twitter accounts.
	It's just that suddenly all these monkeys on this other island got the same information, like spontaneous reception, and they began washing their sweet potatoes as well.
	So the knowledge took a quantum leap, you could say, or a great leap across the ocean and then was instantly picked up by other monkeys.
	And if this is happening in humanity, it explains by the way the psychology of market crashes and why there is a kind of contagion of panic or contagion of fear.
	So why do human events and markets are a reflection of human psychology And human behavior, why do human events move in waves?
	Why is there a rush to greed and then a rush of panic?
	You know, why, and again, greed and fear drive the markets, but why is it this kind of herd mentality?
	And I believe part of the answer may be found in this so-called morphic resonance, which is the shared knowledge or even shared realizations, shared emotions across groups of people, even if they are not physically connected, nor even talking to each other.
	So this actually explains how market panic can spread across the entire world all at once, even though each individual person may think to themselves, oh, like this thought just occurred to me, I should sell now.
	And they don't even know where that came from.
	Just like, I woke up and I just felt like I should get out of the market.
	Yeah, guess what?
	That's morphic resonance.
	That's the hundredth monkey concept.
	You got monkeys pushing this into your head.
	Metaphorically speaking, you are the monkey!
	Well, I'm talking about the stock market investors who are waking up and deciding to sell.
	Yeah, you are the monkey!
	Too bad you can't.
	Climb up the side of buildings like a monkey.
	Instead, they're going to be leaping off of tall buildings as they keep losing all their money.
	That day is coming.
	Sad to report that.
	And by the way, this morphic resonance occurs in non-living subjects as well.
	It occurs at the molecular level.
	So there was a time when all over the world, xylitol, that's the sweetener.
	You've probably heard of xylitol.
	Xylitol was a liquid at room temperature all over the world.
	It was a liquid.
	And then one day it started freezing and forming crystals.
	And crystals are formed through structured information at the molecular level.
	It started forming crystals in one place, and then when the xylitol, quote, learned how to do that, although the word learned is not really accurate because it doesn't have a brain or a neurological system, obviously, but it kind of learned or formed this pattern of crystals at room temperature All the xylitol that was liquid all over the world began to freeze and form crystals in every lab and every location across the planet.
	That happened, that's documented, and it has happened to pharmaceuticals.
	This is what's in the book.
	There are pharmaceuticals made by major drug companies.
	I think Roche was making a drug, and then the drug began to spontaneously, after I think decades of being manufactured, it began to be unable to form into the same molecular structure as before.
	And they had to pull the drug off the market.
	They had to reformulate.
	They had to shut down all the manufacturing because the molecules wouldn't go together the way they used to.
	They wouldn't form the way they used to.
	So this has been documented actually in multiple...
	Molecular chemicals and happening well over a century.
	So there is information that is shared that affects the structure of living systems.
	And importantly, there's no mainstream accepted conventional scientific theory or structure to explain this.
	So mainstream scientists aren't even aware of this.
	They tend to dismiss things they don't understand.
	They don't know, why are all these crystals suddenly freezing at room temperature across the planet or these other molecules?
	Why is that happening?
	They have no theory to explain it, so they just pretend it didn't happen.
	Interesting.
	But the truth is, we're all connected.
	We're all connected in non-physical ways.
	And I think this is one reason why we are starting to see a lot of...
	Well, have you noticed more craziness in the world right now?
	People getting...
	More angry with shorter tempers.
	There are people losing it.
	I saw a video of crazy people on the New York subway today and people screaming at each other in parking lots and all kinds of things.
	And we're seeing these more often than before.
	More robberies at retail stores and so on.
	People are more on edge.
	And it's as if These powerful human emotions are just right on the tipping point of exploding into fear, panic, desperation.
	I don't know.
	Fear of total annihilation, frankly.
	Fear of losing all your money.
	Fear of starving to death.
	Fear of being overrun.
	Fear of nuclear war, right?
	A lot of these fears are starting to rise up in people's consciousness.
	And if people don't know how to process those fears and push them back through preparedness and rational thinking and so on, like, hey, we can survive a nuclear detonation in Europe.
	We know how to still survive.
	It's not the end of the world.
	Or, hey, we can have some backup food supplies.
	We can get water filters that can filter out radioactive particles and things like this.
	If people don't have that kind of preparedness attitude, then the fear can overwhelm them.
	And when they're overwhelmed by fear, at least my theory and my understanding is that they become transmitters of fear.
	So at first they might just receive the fear when somebody else is freaking out and broadcasting.
	So this person receives the fear and then they get overwhelmed by fear and then they start broadcasting fear.
	Because it's just overwhelming their consciousness and then they're just sending it out.
	Because they're not well disciplined about what kinds of thoughts and ideas that they're broadcasting.
	They don't even know that that phenomenon exists, right?
	So they're broadcasting fear to somebody else.
	And then somebody else picks it up and is like, I don't know why, but I woke up this morning and I was freaked out.
	And then they get overwhelmed with fear, and this is the fear contagion.
	And again, there's no scientifically accepted theory for how this is happening, but it is happening.
	It does happen, and it has happened throughout human history.
	So this is, I think, we are in a perfect storm convergence of events that's being set up to initiate this level of, like, a fear pandemic.
	And all it's going to take is people thinking that they're about to lose everything.
	You know, banks closing, or the market going down 20%, or rumors of a nuclear war, whatever.
	Or, I don't know, a false flag operation.
	A black swan operation.
	A false black swan flag.
	That's a combination of a false flag and a black swan.
	That's a black false swan flag.
	That's what that is.
	With a pirate symbol on it or something.
	People can lose their minds very quickly.
	Now, given all of this, you might wonder, why do I present information that is kind of scary or could be scary to people?
	We're talking about doomsday weapons, and I'm going to mention news about one of those right now, actually.
	The answer is, my audience is mature.
	You have the wisdom of experience.
	You are not overwhelmed by fear upon hearing some piece of information because you're not some young person who doesn't know how to navigate this world.
	You're an accomplished person.
	You know how to think.
	You know how to prep.
	You're not some pushover.
	You're not going to run and panic.
	You're not a panicky type of person.
	You're going to consider your options.
	Take the best course of action and be well prepared and you're a survivor.
	That's what attracted you probably to this podcast.
	So I'm not afraid to share something with you that others might say, that's doomsday!
	We're doomed!
	And I'm like, actually, you're not doomed.
	I mean, a lot of people are doomed, but not those who prepare.
	You don't have to be doomed, even if a doomsday weapon is detonated.
	It doesn't kill everybody.
	There's plenty of survivors.
	So what's the difference between a survivor and someone who dies?
	Well, knowledge and preparedness and some wisdom and experience.
	So guess what?
	That's what we talk about here.
	We piggyback on your life experience, and then we add knowledge and wisdom, and also foresight about what's coming, because we're really good at that around here.
	We're always giving you things months in advance, if not a couple years in advance.
	And then from that, you can make informed decisions about how to navigate this craziness that's coming.
	So that's kind of my philosophy of this whole podcast.
	And by the way, do you realize it's almost been two years?
	Of this podcast?
	And I thought at most I was going to do this podcast for two months.
	And then that was it.
	I started this right after the rigged election in 2020.
	I thought, yeah, I'll just do this until this whole election thing gets sorted out.
	And I thought Trump would be back in the White House on January 20th of 2021.
	And he'd just have another four-year term.
	And I would go back to doing other stuff.
	But no, here we are two years later.
	Watching the world get torn apart by these left-wing fascists and socialists and lunatics, including the ones in Europe, by the way.
	So here we are, almost two years into this podcast.
	And it doesn't look like we're going to be able to wrap this up anytime soon, does it?
	There's more craziness each day.
	In fact, let's get right to that.
	The first story of the day is from The Sun in the UK. NATO warning as Putin, quote, deploys world's biggest submarine, which can be armed with terrifying nuclear apocalypse drone.
	Now, this isn't news to you and any of us, right?
	Because we've been talking about this.
	They're actually referring to the Poseidon underwater nuclear drone, which is carried by this giant nuclear submarine that Russia has.
	It's called the Belgorod, and it's 603 feet long.
	Belgorod.
	What is it?
	The K329. Let's see.
	It's a nuclear-powered submarine, of course.
	It weighs 30,000 tons, and it's considered the world's biggest submarine, and it has multiple compartments to launch these undersea drones, these Poseidon nuclear drone torpedoes, as they're called, which themselves are 79 feet long each.
	And apparently the submarine can carry eight of those Poseidon drones.
	Now this article out of the sun says that the warhead on these drones, the Poseidon super weapon, as it's known says, the warhead is two mega tons.
	I know from other sources that the, That's nonsense.
	It is at least 100 megatons, and there are rumors that they have warheads as big as 200 megatons, which is just off the charts enormous, completely insane.
	But 100 megatons is well known to be capable of being loaded onto these Poseidon underwater drones.
	Now, These underwater drones are the ones that can burrow themselves in or just hide near the continental shelf, and then they can be remotely detonated to unleash a radioactive tsunami.
	So they're designed to actually detonate off the coast of a target city, like let's say off the coast of Washington, D.C. or Los Angeles or somewhere, or maybe London for that matter, and then to detonate and send a massive 500-foot high wave and then to detonate and send a massive 500-foot high wave of radioactive ocean water crashing into the That's what this weapon is designed to achieve.
	It's one of the many multiple super-secret Russian weapons that they have, including the hypersonic nuclear missiles and the Skyfall weapon system that we talked about, I think, last week.
	So this article here, The Sun, says, quote, the two-megaton warhead is designed to trigger a tsunami generating a 300-foot wall of radioactive water to devastate coastal cities.
	Well, okay.
	So, again, it's not two megatons.
	It's at least 100 megatons.
	And the actual height of that ocean water actually, believe it or not, depends more on the topology of the floor of the ocean than the size of the detonation.
	So...
	It just depends on the shape of the ocean floor and how rapidly or slowly it rises towards the coast.
	But anyway, these walls of radioactive water could be 300 feet tall, could be 500 feet tall, could be 1,000 feet tall, depending on how big the destination is.
	And then how far that radioactive water pushes itself inland also depends on the geography and topology of the land, obviously.
	It depends on how flat it all is and whether the waterways can carry the rivers and streams and so on that empty into the ocean, whether this bomb can push water in the opposite direction, inland.
	And then the farther it goes inland, obviously, the more damage it causes.
	So this is a devastating weapon of mass destruction.
	That could be unleashed against civilian targets.
	Now, keep in mind that the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs dropped by the United States in World War II, they were only in the range of about 16 kilotons, or 1.6, or you could call that.016 megatons.
	So if our unit here is megatons, and if this Poseidon Drone here is supposed to be 2 megatons.
	And again, I know that it's at least 100 megatons.
	The Hiroshima bomb is.016 megatons.
	So there is a huge difference in warhead size.
	Now, why does all this matter?
	Because as we talked about yesterday, understand that Putin believes that he is at war with the Antichrist civilization or the empire of lies, as NATO countries are now depicted by Putin.
	And again, he's not wrong when he's talking about the leadership of the Western nations.
	They are demons.
	I mean, they are Luciferians and pedophiles and child groomers and child molesters and child mutilators and all that stuff.
	But that's not the people.
	Of the Western nations, right?
	So God, God help us so that we, the people, aren't subjected to nuclear weapons.
	But maybe with God's help, we could remove the demons from power and restore real America.
	And we could have peace in our world and not have a nuclear war.
	But if that doesn't happen, Putin is lining up these Poseidon, you know, underwater drones to be able to detonate them or at least to threaten to detonate them as he feels is needed in order to defeat the Antichrist civilization that he's calling the Western countries, underwater drones to be able to detonate them or at least to threaten to So here's an important point in all of this.
	According to the sun here, Putin has now deployed the submarine for the first time.
	At least this is the first time that it is being publicly acknowledged.
	The K 329 that carries eight of these Poseidon super weapons.
	Now, in truth, this submarine has been around for years and they've been doing, quote, trials or testing.
	And now it has passed the test.
	But this thing has 125 miles per hour underwater propulsion system, which has stealth capabilities.
	And that's the number that is publicly known.
	The non-public number is always higher.
	This submarine can probably cruise something like 150 plus miles per hour under the ocean, which means it can make its way from continent to continent depositing these Poseidon underwater nuclear drone doomsday weapons. which means it can make its way from continent to And in fact, according to my information or sources that I've spoken with now months ago, that is exactly what has happened, that they've already deposited these.
	So the doomsday submarines are, again, I don't know the right name for these things.
	The nuclear drones are already sitting off the continental shelf of the United States, both the east and west coast, and also off the coast of Britain, of Great Britain.
	So they're within striking distance of London.
	And that's already there.
	Now, I don't know if you caught my interview yesterday with Aaron Brickman, but at the end of it, we were talking about the nuclear escalation involving Russia.
	And I was arguing that from Putin's point of view, once he realizes that he is at war with a Western empire that will not allow the existence of Russia, then it becomes in Putin's interest and survival of Russia to initiate what I said was an overwhelming first strike.
	Now, just to be clear, I'm not hoping for such a thing.
	You know, that would be devastating.
	I don't want to see that happen, obviously, but from Putin's strategic point of view, if he believes that's where this is going to inevitably go, i.e.
	a nuclear exchange, then the advantage rests with whoever strikes first, especially if you're playing a total annihilation game where there's only one party left standing, then striking first is definitely the advantage.
	Now, here's why this matters.
	The United States does have some ICBM defense systems, you know, interception systems, tracking systems, and so on.
	They're assuming that nuclear weapons are going to come from low Earth orbit because that's the path, the trajectory of ICBMs.
	And maybe they can monitor, I don't know, shorter-range nuclear-tipped cruise missiles like the Iskander missiles and things like that.
	I do think that capability exists to some extent in the U.S. defensive arsenal.
	However, there is no defense against an underwater nuclear kamikaze drone that just is already there and it just gets remotely detonated.
	You can't stop that.
	So if these are already in place right now, then effectively Putin has the ultimate negotiation cards or weapon system.
	And it's highly likely that he also deposited one of these somewhere else to use as a demonstration if needed.
	You know, detonate one somewhere where there's no population.
	A warning shot, I suppose.
	Although, of course, it would unleash a massive amount of nuclear radiation.
	But, again, I don't see that Putin has any incentive to fire any warning shots, because he feels like he's battling the Antichrist civilization, that this is the existential battle for the very survival of Russia and the Russian civilization, the Russian people, for eons to come.
	So his only incentive is the total takedown or destruction of the West, at least as I see it.
	And that's based on his speech that he gave a few days ago.
	So right now, there's also a massive amount of armor that is being moved into the Donbass region reportedly on trains, Lots of main battle tanks, including the most modern Russian tanks.
	I don't recall the model numbers on those, but it's very modern Russian tanks.
	Versus what NATO is pulling up now is the old T-55s, dragging those out of museums and seeing if they can make them run, which is highly doubtful, by the way.
	But it's just, oh my goodness, talk about desperation.
	But Russia is moving a massive amount of armor into place.
	A massive amount of troops, obviously, the 300,000 troops that have been mobilized.
	And China is helping with logistics and troops, at least it's rumored to be so.
	And then Russia has launched this new K-329 Belgorod submarine.
	Now officially, publicly, has launched that to deploy these nuclear underwater drones.
	Now that's a weapon that, to my knowledge, the United States does not have.
	Now, maybe the US does have those weapons.
	We just don't know about it.
	Maybe Russia and the US can threaten each other.
	It's just that the US is far more vulnerable to coastline destruction than is Russia.
	And you know why?
	It's very simple.
	Look at a map of Russia.
	Ask yourself, where is Moscow?
	Is it near the ocean?
	Nope.
	Nope.
	Moscow's nowhere near the ocean.
	There's no coastline anywhere near Moscow.
	But in the United States, Washington, D.C., and also New York, the financial capital of the country, is right there on the coast, as well as the Norfolk, Virginia, Naval Base, and a lot of other installations on the East Coast.
	And then think about West Coast.
	Los Angeles and the ports.
	You see, America can be very easily defeated by detonating these nuclear superweapons right off the coast, well, the East Coast and the West Coast simultaneously.
	That would take out Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, and many other institutions and naval bases, military bases, and so on.
	Whereas if the U.S. were to try to get Moscow with some kind of similar weapon, I mean, there's nowhere to even detonate it.
	What are they going to do?
	Set off a nuke in the Baltic Sea?
	I don't think so.
	Pretty sure NATO nations would have a problem with that.
	So there's no tit-for-tat retaliation that the West can do that uses similar weapon systems.
	Now, sure, you might argue, well, the U.S. has super-secret space-based weapon systems, and they do.
	They do.
	But Russia also has the ability to take out satellite weapon systems.
	There is kind of a space war there.
	That's probably taking place right now with destruction of space-based weapons systems or weapons platforms that are in orbit.
	And when it comes to both offensive and defensive, let's say offensive missiles and anti-air defensive systems, Russia is, of course, a couple of decades ahead of the United States.
	So the only way to take out Moscow is either with long-range missiles or waging a ground war with That Russia will always win.
	I mean, Russia wins the ground wars.
	What are you going to do?
	Gather a bunch of NATO troops and just try to push eastward into Russia while taking nuclear artillery shells the entire time?
	And thermobaric weapons and so on.
	And besides, can NATO soldiers actually do anything useful other than cross-dress and wear high heels and push transgenderism and other kinds of Luciferian agendas in the woke militaries of the West?
	Now, I don't think that Western nations can fight at all.
	By the way, the U.S. Army, their recruitment goals have been entirely missed.
	The recruitment's down 25% from last year.
	They can't even find enough people to join the Army.
	And the ones that do join it nowadays are more and more weak or woke.
	A lot of them are soy boys.
	Look, I'm not anti-Army or anti-soldier, but the soldiers that I know...
	You know, they really know how to fight.
	US Marines, Army guys, Navy guys, Navy SEALs, and so on.
	And they were in the military a generation earlier.
	You know, they're older guys now.
	Some of them are retired.
	Most of them are retired.
	But the younger crew coming in, they are mostly woke and weak.
	And they don't want to join the military.
	They don't want to fight.
	And they don't even have the ability to do so.
	They forgot how to use their hands or they never learned how to do so.
	They don't have any outdoor skills.
	They don't know how to turn a wrench or change a tire or sharpen a pencil.
	They grew up on their mobile phones.
	That's all they know how to do is clickety-clack on my little mobile phone.
	Well, that's not going to win a war with Russia, is it?
	So I don't even think the Western militaries have a chance at being effective in any way whatsoever.
	And frankly, the West has run out of munitions already.
	They've already shipped everything they had to Ukraine, and most of that's already engaged or destroyed.
	There's almost no more munitions, artillery rounds, or anti-tank weapons, or anything.
	Remember yesterday?
	Even, was it Bloomberg reporting that the new HIMARS systems that Biden says he's sending to Russia?
	I think it was 18 more systems.
	Well, they have to be built first.
	So they're going to be delivered sometime, maybe in 2025.
	Oh boy!
	Wow, that's just dandy.
	What is this, a clown show?
	Yeah, we're going to send you weapons in the future!
	All you have to do is hang on until we get to the future.
	What is this time-traveling weapon systems?
	Why are you sending them in the future?
	Oh, because you don't have any now.
	I see.
	You don't have any now, so you can't fight now.
	You have nothing now.
	So, in other words, the promises of weapons systems is just like the promises of financial solvency of the West.
	It's all financialization bullcrap.
	It's all made up.
	It's all like weapons derivatives, just like financial derivatives, you know, weapons derivatives.
	Yeah, we're placing bets on the future availability of weapons systems and the possible future price and delivery of such systems.
	We've purchased options contracts on the delivery of weapons systems, so we have paper that says we have weapons.
	But you don't actually have weapons?
	Oh, no, no, no.
	We don't actually have weapons.
	We have paper that says we have weapons.
	Oh, kind of like you have paper that says you own gold and silver, but you don't?
	Yeah, pretty much like that.
	It's like we have weapons options contracts.
	It's so Western.
	It's so woke.
	It's so progressive.
	But you don't actually have any weapons.
	This is what Western civilization has come to, by the way.
	It's all vapor.
	It's all illusion.
	It's all a house of cards.
	Big Ponzi scheme about to collapse, too.
	I feel like we're in some kind of weird time-traveling sci-fi movie or something because America is sending weapons to Ukraine in the future while the rest of Western Europe is borrowing tanks out of museums from the past.
	That's all you have is weapons from the past?
	What about the weapons of the future?
	They're not here yet.
	Okay, well, Russia's got actual weapons on trains, like trainloads of tanks going to the front lines, and what do you have?
	Promises and paper and press releases and propaganda.
	But switching gears here, the war on Russia, you know, isn't the only war taking place.
	Although, just to wrap that thought up, if I were you, I would be ready for the possibility of nuclear fallout, just saying.
	But here's a story in the Wall Street Journal that just blew my mind.
	United Nations calls on the Fed and other central banks to halt interest rate increases.
	The UN agency warns that further policy tightening risks a global economic downturn.
	And I think the word they should have used there is meltdown.
	So this is from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
	And it basically said that, and this is my paraphrase, the report didn't say this, but it basically admitted that the Federal Reserve of the United States is at war with Europe, and that if the Fed keeps raising interest rates, which they have said they are committed to doing, by the way, there'll be another.75 in November probably, that it's going to absolutely gut the European currencies, bank solvency, pension funds, and everything else.
	And we're right on the verge of a massive banking system collapse in Europe, well, in England in particular, right now.
	They're rescuing the Bank of England right now with massive money printing, billions of dollars, more quantitative easing.
	Well, what's going to happen when the U.S. keeps raising interest rates?
	Well, More capital is going to flee Europe and go to the United States.
	Why?
	Because investors want to return on their money.
	And also, Europe is suffering massive de-industrialization because of the lack of energy, due to the lack of gas, due to the Nord Stream pipelines getting all blowed up.
	So one of the wars taking place here is that America is at war with Europe.
	America wants to destroy Europe.
	Europe's industrial base so that America gets the capital and the investment and the industry.
	You know, like post-World War II. This is the giant scheme of, you know, the Biden regime, the Barack Obamas, the puppet masters and so on.
	They want to destroy Europe to keep America in the game a little bit longer.
	But you know what they've forgotten?
	You know where they're totally wrong?
	See, in the post-World War II era, the culture of America was more intact.
	It was more Christian.
	It was more family-oriented.
	People had ethics and people had a work ethic, most importantly.
	In the 1950s, Americans were willing to work.
	In 2022, they aren't, especially the younger generation.
	I know there are exceptions, but most people under the age of 30 have no interest in working whatsoever.
	And a lot of them have no job experience.
	They don't know, at least a lot of them, don't know how to do anything.
	Again, I know there are exceptions, like a lot of homeschooled kids and young folks who live on farms and so on who have taught themselves or maybe their parents have taught them how to do things.
	Yeah, they're going to be capable.
	They're the survivors.
	But the culture of America is a culture of incompetence and entitlements and believing that you don't have to do any work because you're just going to get more bailout money and everything's going to be handed to you.
	You don't have to work in a factory.
	You don't have to make anything.
	You're just a consumer.
	You consume stuff.
	That's the attitude of the American worker today.
	So even if these schemers and plotters, these elite, whoever they are, even if they're correct and they destroy Western European industry, especially Germany, they take down Germany's industry, kaboom, collapse, like World War II, there's not going to be any massive...
	You know, uprising of factory workers in America.
	Maybe uprising is not the right word.
	I mean, recruitment and training and, you know, explosion in workers and work productivity.
	That's not going to happen in America.
	The culture has been destroyed by the leftists.
	The leftists, they think that nobody should have to work very hard.
	Or that maybe people shouldn't have to work at all.
	I mean, they're socialists.
	They think that government should just hand out money to everybody.
	So who's going to work at all these factories?
	Who's going to work?
	Ask yourself this question.
	Who do the globalists think is going to work in these factories that they want to build up in America to have world domination?
	Oh, it's the Latinos.
	You got it?
	You understand the open borders policy now?
	There is one demographic of people in America who will work.
	It's the people from Mexico and Central and South America.
	They come to America and they work.
	They work the same way that Americans used to work in the 1950s.
	Why?
	Well, you know, frankly, they want to work and earn money and make a better life for themselves.
	You know?
	Used to be an American value.
	Now, you only find it in the immigrants, legal or illegal.
	Isn't that shocking?
	And again, I know there are exceptions to this, but I'm trying to explain the strategy of the controllers, the big businesses who fund all of this and who push all these policies.
	They want open borders so they can bring in masses of workers.
	They want amnesty for those workers to fill the factories.
	They are the replacements for Americans because the American culture is done.
	It's been destroyed by the radical left.
	American culture, there's no work ethic anymore.
	There's almost no morality remaining, at least among leftists.
	Again, I know there are a lot of youth that go to church and they do have good ethics and so on.
	They have a good work ethic.
	And again, there are exceptions to all this.
	But by and large, the culture of America has been completely obliterated, just destroyed by the radical left.
	So they need replacements and they need to bring back industry.
	So to bring back industry, they need to destroy Europe.
	To destroy Europe, they need to blow up Nord Stream, to deprive Germany of natural gas, to crash Europe's industrial economy.
	And then they need to keep raising interest rates at the Federal Reserve to attract capital to the United States.
	Which is exactly what's happening.
	And in doing so, they're crushing European finance.
	This is what the UN is warning about right now.
	The UN is saying, oh my God, I'm paraphrasing, but oh my God, if the Fed keeps raising rates, we're going to have a global economic meltdown.
	Well, starting in Europe, by the way.
	From the Wall Street Journal, quote, the agency...
	Well, no, they said the Fed risks causing significant harm to developing countries if it persists with rapid rate rises.
	The agency estimated that a percentage point rise in the Fed's key interest rate lowers economic output in other rich countries by 0.5%.
	You got that?
	So if the Fed raises interest rates 10%, They're going to wipe out 5% of Germany's economy.
	And the UK and France and everybody else in Europe as well.
	5% cut to the GDP. And that's substantial.
	But then if you add in the sabotage of Nord Stream 1 and 2, oh, now you're talking about 40 to 50% collapse of industry across Western Europe.
	And in some areas or some sectors of the economy, it's more like a 70% collapse like metals, aluminum, smelting operations, iron ore, steel, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese, all these things.
	We've talked about that before as well.
	This is an economic war being waged by America's controlling elite against Europe.
	At the same time, America is using Ukraine as a proxy state to wage this war, not giving a crap about the people of Ukraine, frankly.
	They're just paying off Zelensky to keep the war going.
	America knows that it can cost Russia billions of dollars for waging this war.
	So it can try to weaken Russia, although that's not turning out to work very well.
	They can try to weaken Russia.
	They can obliterate Europe's economy.
	They can cause a collapse of pension funds and banks across Europe, and then the one left standing is going to be America, with the petrodollar and the money printing and the nuclear submarines and whatever else America still has left, and a few rounds of artillery still remaining in the basement somewhere.
	Do we have any more M777 rounds that we didn't ship to Ukraine?
	Yeah, there's about 100 of them downstairs.
	So, this UN-linked Secretary General, Rebecca Grinspan, which looks suspiciously similar to Greenspan, by the way, but it's spelled with a Y, Grinspan, we have the tools to calm inflation and support all vulnerable groups, but the current course of action is hurting the most vulnerable, especially in developing countries, and risk tipping the world into a global recession.
	By the way, this is like a whiny little girl saying, stop raising interest rates!
	Because inflation will hurt us.
	Maybe you should stop printing money, too.
	Maybe the European banks should have had better financial practices this entire time instead of leveraging everything on derivatives and debt instruments.
	Maybe the pension funds should have bought gold instead of bonds.
	How about that?
	Because the bonds are collapsing.
	Gold does not collapse.
	Gold would still be there.
	But no, they wanted leverage.
	They wanted leverage.
	Well, you got leverage.
	Leverage comes with risk.
	So you got leverage.
	Now you have risk.
	Now you're losing it.
	And now they're trying to blame the Fed.
	Stop raising interest rates.
	Meanwhile, in America, the Federal Reserve interest rate increases are minuscule compared to what is needed to actually tackle inflation.
	Because real inflation right now is very close to maybe 20%, give or take.
	You know, not that government reported 8% inflation or 8.3% or whatever it was.
	As you know, it's much higher, more than doubled.
	So how do you tackle 20% inflation with.75% rate increases?
	Answer, you have to repeat those increases rather frequently or start hiking rates by, you know, 200 basis points at a time or 250, you know, 2.5%.
	Right now, really, to tackle inflation, you would need rates much, much higher.
	But see...
	The bigger problem is that the money printing hasn't stopped.
	In fact, it has accelerated thanks to this Ukrainian-Russia war situation.
	$65 billion now or somewhere in that neighborhood, maybe $67 billion.
	Something in the 60s, billions of dollars printed and sent to Ukraine or allegedly used for Ukraine, probably went into the pockets of a bunch of corrupt officials.
	But it was printed money, and that's causing inflation.
	So as long as you keep printing money, you can't just raise interest rates and solve inflation.
	The problem is the money printing, which all traces back to 1971, Richard Nixon taking us off the gold standard.
	The day that happened, America was doomed.
	Seriously, the day that that happened, I don't remember what day of the year it was, but when Richard Nixon said, oh, we have to stop the currency raiders and we have to protect, we're going to stop the convertibility of Of dollars in the gold, which means taking the dollars off the gold standard, he wiped out the global gold standard at that moment.
	Since then, the endgame fate of America has been locked in.
	It was always going to end in financial collapse.
	Always.
	There was never any other way out of this.
	Once you de-link the currency from gold...
	And the money printing starts.
	It never ends because there's never discipline among politicians to stop the free money.
	They will print and print and print until they blow up the whole system.
	And that's where we are now.
	I'm amazed it lasted this long.
	This is over 50 years.
	Quite an impressive feat to hold it together this long.
	Took a lot of duct tape and bailing wire.
	But here we are.
	It's all about to rip itself apart at this point.
	By the way, as you may recall, I mentioned this yesterday, the United States or the West is essentially at war with the Chinese Empire, the Persian Empire, and the Russian Empire.
	In addition, the U.S. in particular is at war with its own citizens, and the United States is at war against its own allies in Western Europe.
	I'm wondering, is there anybody that the U.S. isn't at war with?
	This explains all the military bases.
	All the occupying forces that have to keep all these other countries in line starts to look a lot like the Roman Empire, doesn't it?
	Right before the fall of Rome, you know, they had all these troops occupying all these other countries and making those countries pay tribute, collecting taxes, and then they had to have these long supply lines and logistics and just the cost of the Roman military was overwhelming and put Rome into so much debt they could never claw their way out of it.
	Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?
	America has the biggest military budget in the world, the most military bases in the world, the most occupying forces to keep other countries in line, and they're at war with almost everybody.
	Do you think they're going to win that war?
	I don't think so.
	I think the system collapses from within, kind of like Rome.
	I mean, yeah, Rome conquered the known world at the time and then it destroyed itself.
	It imploded and it fell.
	So, a similar thing is going to happen.
	The United States may not ever be militarily defeated, or perhaps Putin launches nukes and then it's over anyway, but even if the U.S. military stays intact, the U.S. debt system will implode and bring it all down from within.
	And I think that these globalists who are planning this great reset, they're going to crash the currency and collapse the banks and push everybody into central bank digital currencies.
	I think they're overly optimistic.
	I don't think people are going to go into those digital wallets the way they hope.
	I think a lot of people are going to revert to gold and silver and barter and trading seeds and junk silver coins and ammunition and whatever else.
	When the system collapses, do you really want to sign up for more with the same globalist cartel that already stole most of your money to begin with?
	It's like, yeah, let's just sign up to get punished again.
	Oh, we enjoyed that looting so much, let's all get looted over and over and over again by the same government globalist system that just screwed us out of all our previous money.
	I don't think that's going to fly.
	Well, then again, come to think of it, there are always some Democrats who are like, I took the vaccine, half my face got paralyzed, and it's good, I would take it again.
	So I guess there's always some people who would sign up for more abuse, like a beaten spouse or something.
	Just please take me back and I'll forgive all the black eyes and everything.
	No.
	Frankly, I don't think that people are going to put up with that.
	You know, fool me once, shame on you.
	Fool me twice, shame on me.
	I'd rather have a private, decentralized, peer-to-peer cryptocurrency economy than go into some government-controlled wallet.
	And maybe that's part of what will happen.
	We'll see.
	Or maybe some combination of gold and crypto.
	But the core problem, just to summarize here, the core problem is the money printing, which was only possible thanks to Richard Nixon in 1971 taking us off the gold standard.
	And again, that day doomed America.
	From that day forward, America was finished.
	It was just a matter of time.
	And yeah, 50 years can seem like a long time.
	But it's an inevitability.
	It was always going to happen.
	It's just a matter of when.
	Now, check this out.
	In Germany, here's a story from the Epoch Times.
	Germans panic buy electrical heaters as authorities warn of winter gas shortage.
	So German authorities have issued another dire warning about a possible shortage of natural gas.
	We covered that yesterday.
	Driving sales of electric heaters to soar in a spree of panic shopping, reports the Epoch Times, because of the concern that German households might be left in the cold.
	Now, I mean, I have a couple of questions immediately on this.
	Do the German people not realize that electricity is also going to go up more than a thousand percent?
	Okay, you're not allowed to use the gas because there won't be enough gas because maybe they have natural gas heaters.
	So you're going to plug these heaters in and burn electricity at a thousand percent?
	Higher rates?
	You do realize that electric heaters cost a fortune even when electricity is cheap?
	Even at ten cents a kilowatt hour, electric heater...
	You know, can hike your monthly bill by hundreds of dollars in the United States.
	Are the German people going to go out and buy like a, I don't know, a $50 heater and then pay $1,000 a month to use it?
	Really?
	You know, how long is that going to last?
	Like, only until the first bill shows up.
	Oh my gosh!
	That's insane!
	$2,000 to heat this building?
	My second question is...
	Why didn't they buy electric heaters before now?
	Did they think everything was okay until just now?
	Who are these German people that are so oblivious that they thought it was all good until, was it Habek?
	Is that his name?
	Until he announced that we might run out of gas.
	These are the oblivious masses, folks.
	If you're in Germany, and here we are in October, and you're buying electric heaters now, you are so far behind the curve, you should have been buying a wood stove in July.
	And by the way, they were sold out in July.
	I mean, you should have been prepping.
	Just plan ahead, folks.
	You know winter is coming.
	How can you not know that?
	It happens every year.
	We go around the sun over and over and over.
	Again, there's not a lot of big surprises in that.
	So how come the German people, at least these people who are panicked buying electric heaters, how come they couldn't see this coming?
	And again, one of the measures of a lack of intelligence is a lack of foresight.
	And I'm not attacking the German people.
	This is even more true probably in America than Germany.
	But it's also true in Germany apparently among quite a few people.
	There are a lot of preppers though.
	Who have been chopping down trees, getting ready with some firewood.
	But I wonder if they realize that you can't just burn trees the first year right after you cut them down.
	You got to let them dry for about a year or maybe two.
	So if you're out there cutting down green trees right now, you think you're going to burn those trees this winter, you're in for a surprise.
	They're not going to burn very well.
	They won't produce a lot of heat because they're wet.
	They're green.
	I don't know.
	Do people even know this stuff anymore?
	I mean, you and I, this is like common knowledge, but a lot of modern day Western society people, they don't even know how firewood works, do they?
	They've never even used firewood.
	Especially the younger generation.
	You gotta let it sit?
	What do you mean?
	You have to season the firewood?
	What does that mean?
	Well, they're about to learn.
	Or pay a $5,000 electric bill for running like five heaters.
	Oh my goodness.
	By the way, I love the names of these German companies.
	You know how I always tease people in the German language that all their words get really long, really expanded words.
	There's an energy regulator in Germany that's quoted in this story.
	Their name is Bundesnetzagenter.
	That's all one word.
	That's not a sentence.
	That's like one word.
	Bundesnetzagenter or Genter.
	Epoch Times says it's going to be responsible for gas rationing in case of a supply emergency.
	And that company, Bundesnetzagunter, said on September 29th that, quote, household consumption is too high to be sustainable.
	That's another way of saying, we're going to run out.
	We're going to run out.
	Get the message, people.
	I love how they sugarcoat it, you know.
	More official sounding statements.
	Without significant cutbacks in the private sector, it will be difficult to avoid a gas shortage in winter.
	But just say that in your own mind with a German accent if you could.
	That's just another way of saying we're going to run out.
	So get ready.
	So this spokesperson...
	Klaus Müller, no, I'm sorry, he's the chief of Bundesnetzagunter, he says that Germany will be able to make it through the winter as long as three conditions are met.
	Okay?
	Number one, Germany has to import more gas.
	You do know the Nord Stream pipelines got all blown up, right?
	Number two, the gas supplies of neighboring countries must remain stable.
	Well, not really a high chance of that remaining stable, is there?
	Because there's probably going to be more sabotage on more gas lines and going to be countries, quote, hoarding the gas supplies for themselves, you know, like Poland, for example.
	And then condition number three, each individual must cut back on gas consumption, even if it gets colder.
	Which means no gas for you.
	No gas for you.
	It's like no soup for you.
	So as long as those three conditions are met, Germany's going to be just fine.
	Problem is, pipeline's blown up, and people probably can't cut back enough.
	There's no new gas coming in.
	Supply's not stable.
	It's kind of like saying, you know, we're going to be fine driving down this winding beachside highway at night as long as three conditions are met.
	Number one, our headlights are on.
	Number two, the brakes work.
	And number three, the road.
	It isn't missing a giant gap.
	But then you're driving a car where the headlights are broken, the brakes don't work, and the road has been destroyed by a landslide.
	So what's the point of naming three conditions if those can't possibly exist?
	Germany is toast.
	You know, unless there's some magical pipeline that drops out of the heavens, like Gazprom from the sky or something, I don't know how Germany solves this.
	I don't know how they get through this winter.
	Gee, sure would be a great time to have, I don't know, like a kerosene-powered cook stove or space heater or lantern.
	And I've talked about combinations of those in the past.
	And have some extra stockpiled kerosene or some other kind of little, you know, fuel burner that can maybe help keep you warm, obviously.
	Be safe about it.
	Some of those you can't operate them indoors.
	You have to be, you know, careful with that.
	But at this point...
	Heating your house using either natural gas or electricity in Germany, or frankly a lot of Europe this winter, is going to be an impossibility.
	So this means people's homes are going to freeze.
	And when they freeze, the pipes are going to burst.
	You're going to have a massive plumbing problem, a lot of plumbing leaks.
	You're going to lose water pressure in the municipal water supply.
	So then you're going to have freezing starving Germans with no food, no electricity, no water.
	Hmm.
	Not hard to see that coming, is it?
	And yet I bet you, I bet you these same people that are just now panic buying space heaters, I bet you they don't have water filters either.
	Because they never thought about that.
	Oh, you mean the water might break?
	Yeah, really?
	Go figure.
	It's winter.
	Water freezes, you know?
	It's like high school physics here.
	But by the way, I don't mean to pick on Germany.
	The stupidity of humanity is also well demonstrated in New York.
	Because here's a story from LifeSite News.
	New York set to join California in banning new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035.
	Yep.
	Democrat Governor Hochul wants to use her regulatory power to ban gas-powered vehicles.
	So they're basically telling all New Yorkers, you're going to have to walk.
	Because the New York power grid barely functions right now.
	You start adding, I don't know, like a million electric cars to that or even a few hundred thousand.
	Guess what's going to happen?
	Oh, it doesn't work anymore.
	Because they're telling everybody, buy an electric car, but the power grid, we're not going to actually, you know, upsize it.
	You'll just have to make do with the grid that's on the verge of failure on any given day anyway.
	Just like California.
	So here everybody, buy millions of electric vehicles.
	What about the power grid?
	Can I handle it?
	No.
	Won't the power grid need to be upgraded?
	Maybe to the tune of 20 or 30 times more capacity than it currently has?
	Yeah.
	So how come you're not doing that?
	We don't know.
	Just buy electric vehicles.
	Stop asking questions.
	Just ban people from social media if they question electric vehicles, you know?
	That's the new authoritarianism.
	Ban you if you ask questions.
	Like, how is this actually going to work?
	I mean, how does the electricity get through the grid and into all these vehicles without burning up the grid?
	Well, stop asking questions.
	What are you, anti-earth?
	What are you, climate denialist?
	No, I'm an electrician.
	I want to know how this is going to work, being that we've got to follow the laws of electricity and stuff.
	Can you explain how this is actually going to work?
	You notice Democrats never explain anything because nothing they do ever works.
	I think in California...
	Governor Newsom is going to have a new gas tax and he's going to use the tax money to subsidize gas prices to lower gas prices.
	I mean, that is insane.
	It's some kind of taxation perpetual motion machine, isn't it?
	We're going to tax you so we can lower gas prices.
	And some Democrats swallow that.
	That's awesome!
	The governor loves us.
	This is so great.
	And along those same lines, by the way, who are these economic idiots that are saying that Hurricane Ian and all the recovery effort is going to be good for the economy?
	Good for the economy!
	Oh, the rebuilding and all the jobs!
	Oh, it's so good for the economy!
	Folks, this is the oldest economic fallacy in the book.
	If you could grow your economy by destroying cities and rebuilding them...
	Then why would you need to actually produce anything or export anything?
	You could, according to this theory, you could just destroy your own cities and rebuild them over and over again and that would be great for the economy.
	It's absurd.
	It's not good for the economy when you wipe out cities and towns and orchards and destroy infrastructure.
	That's bad for the economy.
	But we're being told it's good.
	It's a good thing.
	So good.
	I mean, by By that measure, in this thought experiment, And it's usually leftists, by the way, who are economically illiterate.
	They're pushing this nonsense.
	I guess they should just wreck Los Angeles.
	Just flatten it somehow.
	And then it would be so good to flatten L.A. because we could rebuild it and that would be great for the economy.
	Well, why don't you flatten Seattle then and Portland and Chicago?
	And actually flattening Chicago might actually be good for the entire country, come to think of it.
	But that's a joke, folks.
	That's just satire.
	But...
	You can't build a strong economy by destroying your cities.
	And if you could, then why is the mainstream media, why do they care about Russia possibly nuking America?
	According to them, if America's cities got nuked, that would be, quote, good for the economy in their twisted point of view.
	Shouldn't they actually beg Putin to nuke American cities?
	It's good for the economy!
	We would have to rebuild again and again after every nuke.
	It would be so good for the economy.
	This was like Joy Reid economics logic.
	This is like the economics on The View.
	If you're dumb enough to watch The View, you might believe that destroying your own cities is great for the economy.
	But for everybody else, like that's insane.
	You don't have a good economy by destroying things.
	You have a good economy by building things and producing things, creating abundance, having infrastructure, having productivity, obviously.
	But, you know, common sense is no longer allowed in our society today.
	Because, remember, we're living under the, quote, Antichrist civilization.
	Everything's upside down.
	Oh, and by the way, Breitbart's reporting gas prices just hit a record high in Los Angeles.
	Oh, it must be good for the economy, huh?
	It's even higher than it was in June now.
	It's $6.46 per gallon Monday morning.
	This has gone past the previous record.
	For the year, it's...
	And this is despite Joe Biden emptying the National Petroleum Reserves, by the way, to try to make gas cheaper.
	So Governor Newsom of California has announced that gas stations are going to be allowed to sell what he calls the winter blend of gasoline, which is a little bit cheaper, but it produces more emissions.
	That the state says they don't want.
	So, it's like, whatever it takes to lower the gas prices, even if it means more emissions.
	They don't care.
	That's what they're into now.
	Just whatever it takes.
	I mean, this is...
	These are the economic theories of leftists.
	It's all rooted in insanity, incompetence, ignorance, just sheer stupidity.
	And if you thought Hurricane Ian was bad for Florida, you should someday measure how bad Newsom is for California or Hochul for New York, for that matter.
	Democrats are the worst natural disaster you can imagine, although they're not even natural.
	They're unnatural, but they are far more destructive and devastating than hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, solar flares, everything combined.
	A Democrat comes in and runs your city there.
	They will run it into the ground and leave it looking like a bombed-out hellscape, like a cesspool of crime and violence and drug addiction and mutilated children.
	Then they'll move on to some other city and try to destroy that, too.
	It's worse than a hurricane.
	At least a hurricane eventually runs out of energy.
	These Democrats seem to be powered by pure Satanism, and they just keep going, like the evil Energizer bunnies or something.
	All right, I'm going to take a deep breath here.
	Inhale, exhale, take it easy.
	I'm going to calm down and shift gears because we've got a great guest coming up, really great guest, and we've got to shift into the topic of how to protect your assets.
	We're going to talk about finance and banking and the markets, but from a very practical point of view, and I couldn't think of a better guest to cover that than the one we have coming up.
	His name is Dan and he runs the channel I Allegedly on YouTube.
	And this is going to be the first time that I've ever spoken with him.
	I reached out while I had my staff reach out to Dan because I had, I'd watched a couple of his videos that someone had posted on Brighton.
	And what Dan likes to do, and by the way, then I teased Dan a little bit later on.
	What Dan likes to do is he goes to these amazing scenic places on the coast of California, and he goes to air shows, and he goes to amazing parks and beaches and everything, and then he talks on camera as he's walking through these amazing places.
	He talks about what's happening with Business and economics and banking and debt and bonds and stocks and everything, but from a very, I would say a very informative point of view.
	I mean, not at all a mainstream finance.
	He's not like a Jim Cramer, CNBC type of guy at all.
	He's one of us.
	Dan gets it.
	He understands where this is all heading in terms of some kind of currency collapse and global debt collapse and so on.
	But he has found this really amazing pattern of going to these beautiful places and then giving you the news of what's happening economically and with business.
	And so I teased him one day.
	I was like, Dan gives you the worst horrific news in the most beautiful places possible.
	And it's this incredible contrast.
	And Dan has this very calm kind of presentation approach where he doesn't get crazy excited.
	He doesn't shout and scream.
	It's not like sometimes I get excited or Gregory Manorino.
	Gets really excited, which I love, by the way.
	I love to hear Gregory.
	He's screaming about the lies of the Federal Reserve.
	It's all like cat bleep wrapped in a layer of dog bleep, sprinkled with bird bleep, and you can fill in the bleeps.
	I find it hilarious, actually.
	I'm a fan of Gregory Manorino.
	Well, I'm also a fan of our next guest, Dan, and I allegedly, we're going to bring him on here in just a second.
	Today's sponsor is the Satellite Phone Store, and they are surviving in Florida in the aftermath of the hurricane, and they have a lot of hardware out.
	They've loaned it out, you know, to first responders, sheriffs, firefighters.
	All kinds of first responding teams out there that are using satellite communications, satellite phones, and the two-way text messaging devices, the bivvy sticks, as they're called, to rescue people, save lives, and coordinate logistics, and supplies, and emergency food, and water, and medical supplies, all that.
	So the satellite phone store, you can find them at sat123.com.
	That's S-A-T-123.com.
	And they've got a shipment of more solar generators, or I keep calling them that.
	They're power stations with solar panels.
	They've got a shipment of those coming in.
	And you can order those from them.
	It's the EcoFlow brand they have.
	So they offer satellite phones, satellite text messaging devices, satellite push-to-talk radios, and then also the off-grid solar generators, as I call them, the power stations that can charge your electronic devices.
	So check out that company, sat123.com.
	Now we're going to jump into the interview with Dan at I Allegedly...
	And I've never spoken with him before, so we're just going to see how this goes.
	I think it's going to be lots of fun.
	Alright, welcome folks.
	You are going to absolutely enjoy this interview.
	This is a first-time guest, but you may have seen his videos all over YouTube.
	I am a fan of his channel and his videos and his message and so on.
	And he's a fan of people like Gregory Manorino and others.
	His name is Dan at I Allegedly, and that is the letter I followed by the word allegedly.
	And he's on YouTube.
	He manages to stay on there.
	And he has great practical financial analysis and advice that's going to help you avoid losing everything and also protect your assets and maybe do well even as the situation gets or turns for the worse.
	So Dan, hey, it's an honor, Dan, to have you on.
	Thank you for joining me.
	Mike, it's an absolute honor to be here, and I'm thrilled that you invited me.
	I really am.
	I was looking forward to this all week, so this is great.
	Well, me too.
	I'm so glad you accepted our invitation to be on here, because I I admit I publicly tease you a little bit because I'm a fan.
	And I said, folks, you got to check out Dan.
	And I allegedly because he's got the most horrifying financial news in the most beautiful places in the United States, like on the beaches, blue skies, blue waters.
	But you're telling the truth about what's happening.
	It's an amazing combo.
	I'm a big boy, so that's all good that I get teased every now and then.
	But the message, you know, everything that we're living through right now and what we're being told and not being told, things are really, really bad right now.
	And people need to protect themselves.
	They need to get themselves out of debt.
	There's just crazy, crazy things happening.
	And like I always say, there's not a loss of...
	I mean, every day I wake up and there's something new with the economy, with the news, and now it's getting global.
	And now that the audience is getting bigger, I'm getting a global audience.
	And it's really nice to hear people in Australia, people in the UK, you know, the Isle of Man this week.
	I mean, all these different places that I've never been that people write me and tell me that they're living through the same thing we're living through here.
	Oh, yeah.
	And one of the things I love about what you do, Dan, is you genuinely go through all the feedback of your listeners, and they give you incredible intel, like some of your listeners who had trouble getting money wired out of banks, or you hear from restaurant owners and all kinds of people.
	Can you share with us a little bit of the more recent intel?
	I'll tell you something that's crazy is that this happened today.
	One of my subscribers goes to his credit union, makes a cash deposit, which he's done.
	Got some checks, got some cash.
	Please understand that as of October 1st, his name is Dave.
	As of October 1st, Dave, we're going to start putting a hold on cash.
	And it used to be immediate.
	You could walk in your bank and put cash in, and it's immediately credited to your account.
	So he's thinking tonight, it's a two-day hold on cash now.
	So if people do not think that there are problems with banks, we are hearing from people around the globe that are having problems getting cash out, banks that are having difficulty, ATMs that are shutting down, ATMs that are limiting access, everything.
	And the banking situation...
	I warn people all the time to make sure that if they don't make a lot of money and they're on a limited income, that you've got some money out of the bank and out of the banking system right now.
	And for the people that are wealthy, you are foolish right now.
	If you have any accounts that are over $250,000 at a bank right now, you're playing Russian roulette right now with these banks as far as I'm concerned.
	Yeah, clearly.
	Clearly.
	See, this is what I really appreciate about you as well, is you're giving people, I think, life-saving or financially life-saving practical advice about how to not get burned.
	And you're seeing these warning signs about banks being reluctant to give up cash or placing holds on it, as you just said.
	But I think you also seem to discover that a lot of people don't operate with common financial sets.
	You know, they take crazy risks or they get into way too much debt, more than they can afford because they want to have the fancy cars and homes and so on.
	You see that a lot in California, right?
	Absolutely.
	And living in...
	I live in Orange County, California.
	And to give you an idea, I'm 10 minutes away from Disneyland.
	I'm 10 minutes away from Newport Beach.
	And...
	You see a little bit of everything, but you see people that drive $300,000, $400,000, $500,000 cars.
	They're financed.
	You see people that have these crazy house payments.
	You see people that are making $400,000 and $500,000 that are basically broke because their leverage is so high.
	I went to the Orange County Auto Show this week and was talking to the McLaren dealership.
	And they said, hey, you know, one thing I tell them that I do is whenever I see a Lamborghini or a Ferrari or a McLaren, for that matter, I always look at the license plate and see if the guy's tags are current.
	Because most people don't even know this, but you could get one of those super rich sports cars, finance and have yourself a $3,000 a month payment.
	And then your tags are $7,000 or $8,000 a year here in California.
	So it's insane.
	Oh, it's nuts.
	And, you know, we're seeing insanity here in California.
	You know, I get people that write me, you got to get out of California, you got to get out of California.
	And I, you know, grew up here, my kids, you know, I raised my children here, but this is insane.
	The state is insane.
	But I used to think, like a lot of people think, that they live on an island.
	Oh, this is only happening in Texas.
	It's only happening in Louisiana.
	No, this is happening around the globe, guys.
	Everywhere are having these precarious financial moments.
	And I always tell everybody, the best thing you can do is get yourself out of debt any way possible.
	Right, right.
	And I beat that drum every day if I can.
	Well, that is...
	I'm very curious about your background.
	I know you do conferences, I think, in the medical field, correct?
	That's one of the things that you do professionally?
	I grew up in the construction industry.
	I was a screenwriter for a point in time, and I wrote a Jeff Bridges movie that nobody's ever heard of called Scenes of the Crime.
	And my kids were young, and I needed to make money So I stuck with my construction business and then moved to the entertainment industry, and I got to be working for an entertainment company doing their marketing, and that's what I really loved.
	And the man I worked for was a good guy, but he got very sick, and I had to leave the company.
	And a friend of mine said, you've got to come to the medical space.
	And You know, he labeled me a connective marketer that is stuck.
	And one thing that I'm really good at is I'm good at putting people together.
	Yes.
	Yes, you are.
	Mike comes out and Mike starts a business and Mike has a startup and Mike says, oh, I need money.
	Well, here's the thing.
	I started this.
	I got in the med tech space and worked for a magazine running their sales.
	And after literally one week, I thought, wow, this industry is filled with so many smart, successful people, but it was completely broken.
	All the doctors wanted to meet, you know, the startups.
	The startups needed lawyers.
	The lawyers needed clients.
	The VCs, venture capital people, needed good projects.
	So I started a directory, a medical directory to put people together.
	And the logical next step from that were the medical conferences, because I would at that point, I was attending about 40 conferences a year.
	And literally, so wow.
	Yeah, I'd go to three conferences in a week and you learn things, you know, you learn what works, what doesn't.
	And I thought, well, why can't we get everybody in one room, not have just a clinical, not just have just an FDA conference, not just a startup conference, but get everybody in one room in one day.
	And we formed a conference called MedTech Monday.
	And it literally, at the end, I had my claim to fame was I had 17 countries from around the world flying for one day.
	Australia, China, you know, China.
	I mean, all these different places, and they would come in and literally meet for one day.
	And because it's Southern California, it would make no difference if the weather...
	We would do it in January and August.
	The weather would be good.
	People would get a vacation out of it, and they'd get connected with great people.
	But...
	I believe that everybody should know everybody in their industry.
	It's really important because you may say, well, I own a termite company.
	Why do I want to meet the manufacturer?
	You do.
	You want to know everything about it, what people are paying, what products are coming out.
	And with the medical space, it was great because I could help people either raise money or get a partner for manufacturing.
	Because again, to go back to the original statement, people think we need money to start my company.
	Well, if you invented a product, maybe you need manufactured and have the manufacturer pay for it.
	And you collect the royalty and you can go sit on a beach and watch these guys work.
	I mean, there's a lot of things that you can do.
	We learned a lot about licensing and getting deals done.
	And then, you know, COVID hit and all hell broke loose.
	And, you know, it was funny.
	I have two kids.
	They were both at the house at the time.
	And, uh, my brother's like, why don't you start a YouTube channel and, and, you know, share your knowledge out there.
	And the SBA was a, was someone that spoke at all my events and the SBA was a great partner because I had the number two guy, uh, Brian O'Byrne speak, um, Four years ago at the event.
	And he was the keynote.
	He was great.
	You know, how to get money.
	So I had access to these companies and not everybody needs SBA money, but it was a great way to get them and the other banks involved in the projects.
	And When COVID hit, it was fantastic because these guys would come out and they came out to me and said, help us get these loans out and these grants out and things like that.
	And it was a disaster.
	They had a lot of problems.
	They had a lot of problems turning down qualified people that were good.
	And people reached out to me and go, can you help us?
	And literally, I was at my house at this time.
	So I looked at other grants and other ways to get people money and financing and aid during that time.
	And it took off.
	And, you know, from there.
	That morphed into your current format?
	Well, it did because my brilliant daughter said, you know, Dad, you've got to start sharing your knowledge a little more and just do some side videos in addition to the grants with the business news and everything you know about.
	Because, you know, here's the thing.
	You know, I'm not a doctor.
	And I would get medical technology given to me, and these guys wanted to raise X amount of dollars.
	And I had doctors.
	I had different manufacturers.
	I had an advisory board that I could go to, and they would really help me.
	This is great technology.
	Again, this has already been done.
	The insurance companies are never going to pay for this.
	It would really help people.
	So from there, and with the knowledge of business and everything I've done in my entire life, it was great talking about news and talking about realistic situations when it came to What was going on in the economy, and then it morphed into where it's at now.
	Okay, wow.
	Long story long.
	No, that's quite a fascinating journey already.
	I got it.
	It brings up all kinds of questions.
	But let me tell you, I first ran into you or your video on Brighteon because, you know, I'm the founder of Brighteon.
	And on the platform, I'm always looking to see what stuff people are posting.
	And somebody had kind of cross posted a couple of your videos.
	And I had not heard of your channel at the time, but I just said, oh, this looks interesting.
	Let's watch this.
	And, you know, hi, it's Dan from I Allegedly Got a Good One for you today.
	And here we go.
	You just you jump right into it.
	I'm like, wow, this guy gets it.
	And then I tracked you down, found out you're on YouTube.
	But if it wasn't for somebody pirating your video onto Brighton, I never would have found your channel, by the way.
	I'm really grateful for that, too, because here's the thing.
	The message right now, you know, financial wisdom in the economy, in the companies.
	With people's businesses, with just the everyday person, we need more knowledge.
	You cannot just watch the news.
	If you watched these news channels, they'd be having you buy stock and heading you down the path of Lehman Brothers where things are going to crash.
	Right.
	And I mean, you know, it's ridiculous.
	And I just think that, you know, I'm very lucky.
	My brother is a very fiscally conservative person that sat down with me about four years ago and said, you need to pay every bill off.
	You need to live, you know, conservatively and get rid of all this credit card debt, which I didn't have a lot, but, you know, no car payments, no nothing, and just watch the freedom that you're going to have in your life.
	And, you know, there's a lot of people that talk about this, you know, Robert Kiyosaki, Dave Ramsey, And it is heaven in that sense because I'll tell you, if you don't make any money this week, you're okay.
	If you make a lot of money, then you're even better.
	But no one's hounding.
	No one's pounding on the door.
	No one's coming after you.
	And it's absolutely amazing to live that way.
	And if I had to give anybody a message, even on this video, I would say, get yourself out of debt.
	And people say, well, wait, I can't.
	And, you know, all these different, you know, Brytheon and everything else that people have shared it on, I'm grateful because the message is, you know, it works.
	The message is truth.
	And I'm trying to get access to things that other people don't have.
	And when people share things with us, it really does get a worldwide global experience.
	And you get, you know, you hear people.
	You know, how the Bank of England is doing something from somebody that lives in England.
	You hear how the Australians, I'm telling you this right now, you guys are going to hear about an Australian housing crisis that's going to make ours look good because they're in so much trouble over there.
	And as far as financing, as far as, you know, I didn't know this.
	I thought everybody had 30-year fixed mortgages.
	And then I find out these people write loans for 30 years, but they have two- and five-year loans in Australia.
	Well, what happens when interest rates go up?
	They pay more money.
	They have to roll over those loans and refinance every few years.
	Exactly.
	Now, in England, think about this.
	The average person is going to pay over $10,000 more on their mortgage next year.
	I mean, who's got an extra $833 in their bank account a month?
	Plus, they're paying an extra 1,000% on their electricity bill.
	On top of that, who's got any money left over in Europe?
	You know, you can blame Vladimir Putin and the war on Ukraine and all this stuff, but here's the thing.
	This is insane.
	Our leaders have led us down a path.
	You know, it's like looking for the wolfman with, you know, the old torches at night, thinking that it's all going to work out.
	And this is a disaster.
	This is an absolute disaster.
	Unmitigated disaster.
	You're going to see people freeze to death.
	You're going to see people that are not going to be able to pay their bills, their electric and heating bills.
	They're going to make decisions between that and food.
	And it is catastrophic.
	And that's going to happen in 60 days from now.
	Did you see that Germany, I think their energy minister Haber, I think he announced that for consumers, if you use only 80% of what you used to use in terms of gas, Then the government will pay 100% of your 80%.
	But beyond 80%, you have to pay the full bill, which will be, of course, probably 1,200% higher than what it used to be.
	It's crazy.
	Now, here's the thing.
	Switzerland is having things that, because I live in the States and I'm a Fahrenheit guy, but Celsius, they're saying, hey, you can't heat the house above 16 Celsius, which is 66 degrees Celsius.
	I thought they said 19 Celsius, wasn't it?
	I'm sorry.
	Pardon me.
	19 Celsius and 60 Celsius is the max that you can do.
	Go on.
	Pardon me.
	You're absolutely right.
	And then 60 Celsius on heating and water.
	Yeah.
	It's crazy because now they're talking about, you know, they already have posters, rat out your neighbor and let them know if they're an energy waster.
	And that is crazy.
	And then they want to potentially find people.
	And if these people will not listen to us last week, we will jail people for using too much electricity.
	Now, I have a girlfriend who's sick, who's got cancer.
	She's doing very well, but she lives with a climate-controlled house.
	What do you do with somebody like that?
	Say, I'm sorry, you can't live under your normal conditions that she's paying for?
	It's insane.
	It is insane.
	I have so many questions for you, even more about that.
	I'm glad to hear your girlfriend's doing well, by the way.
	This is a show about finance.
	I appreciate that.
	No, she's doing great.
	But here's the thing.
	What happens to the elderly people that don't have anybody?
	What happens to the people, the single mother, that can't afford to pay the electric bill and the gas bill?
	I mean, this is happening live for all of us.
	Let me...
	No, go ahead.
	I'm sorry.
	Well...
	I want to give you some more feedback, too, and also share a little bit about you with our audience, because for a lot of our listeners, this may be the first time they're hearing from you.
	But I just want to give you some feedback and say one of the things I really like about your approach, Dan, is that you are incredibly sensible and practical and obviously very capable, but you're not braggadocious about money.
	And one of the big turnoffs that I have about anybody is Yeah, I've got friends who are billionaires and so on.
	Fine, but I don't like to be around people that brag about money.
	They're flashy about money.
	Oh, I've got this big fancy car, all this jewelry on my fingers, especially men with 10 rings.
	What are you, a rap artist?
	What are you trying to go for here?
	But you're not braggadocious.
	You're just very practical, kind of a down-to-earth guy with a lot of financial sense that can help people get ahead.
	That's one of the things I really like about you, Dan.
	Well, I appreciate that.
	And the thing about this is that I lost a business.
	I got divorced.
	I had real difficult times.
	I was a single father.
	I still am.
	And that had to do this on his own.
	And you got to take care of your kids.
	You got to get through this.
	And I mean, I've been...
	Broke as broke can be.
	You know, having to live at friends' houses and things like that.
	And it never changed me.
	I was never a different guy because of that.
	That's what people get embarrassed over when they have money problems.
	And people need to work through this and understand that that's a day in your life.
	And people don't realize that you can get through this.
	There's better days ahead.
	And, you know, you just fight forward.
	And, you know, you're never going to be the richest guy in the world.
	And right now, I'm never going to be the brokest guy in the world.
	But I also am happy that we can get to a point that I can teach my kids right from wrong.
	My son's going to college.
	My daughter's doing well with her business.
	And that's all you can hope for.
	But I really love this message.
	I really love...
	The fact that people write me from all over and share all this stuff.
	We are heading into something that is going to be completely different than anything we've experienced financially.
	It's not to scare people, but I really believe that.
	I want to talk about that with you next, but first, let me plug something that you are trying to accomplish, and I want our audience to help you.
	So folks, Dan and his channel, I allegedly, he's trying to get more subscriptions than another YouTuber called Economic Ninja, who's also a friendly, capable guy who's got a lot of good financial advice.
	But Dan wants to beat Economic Ninja in terms of subscriptions.
	So if you go to YouTube, find Dan's channel, just click subscribe.
	I allegedly, people.
	Yeah, I allegedly.
	Hashtag, you know, we're trying to Operation Ninja, try to catch the ninja.
	Try to catch the ninja.
	And, you know, he's a very good guy.
	And I just, I really, you know, it's funny.
	I beat him for a while.
	I hit 200,000 before he did.
	And then he caught me.
	Then I overtook him by like 12 or 15,000.
	And now he's got a few on me right now.
	But...
	Anything you guys can do.
	I allegedly at YouTube, I would truly appreciate it.
	Okay, we shall do that.
	And, of course, we also encourage you, Dan, to post on all the alternative platforms as well.
	Not just Brighttown, but Rumble and Bitch Shoot and everything else.
	You know, they won't even let me back on YouTube.
	They banned me so long ago.
	But you're smart, Dan.
	I mean, you don't get into politics and vaccines and all these controversial, like, Two-party system stuff.
	You focus on finance and common sense.
	But don't be confused, Mike.
	I get a lot of heat from that.
	I get a lot of heat.
	Come on, make your stance.
	But see, here's the thing.
	When you've seen good people like you get deplatformed, I don't think it's fair.
	I don't think it's fair at all.
	I don't think that we live in a world that...
	I couldn't say coronavirus for a year and a half on the platform.
	Right.
	It's just ridiculous.
	And again, if somebody watches five of my videos, you've got common sense news.
	You've got my spin to it.
	Plus, here's the thing.
	I really am lucky because I get a lot of executives, male and female.
	Some are retired.
	Some have worked for really big companies that share what's going on in the oil industry, what's going on with banking.
	And where we're headed.
	And it's fascinating because, Dan, don't say this, but this is what you can say.
	And I'm happy to share all that stuff.
	But again, I lived through 2008 and I thought, okay, well, I can work through this.
	I can sell my way out of this.
	And we had no idea how bad the crash was.
	And it affected a lot of companies.
	This time, I really think that people don't want to bite.
	People don't want to admit that there's going to be a housing problem, which there is.
	And some people are going to weather this storm because they're very wealthy, but it's going to take out the middle class and completely destroy the middle class during this time.
	And you're going to have a lot of rich people and a lot of very poor people.
	That's what I think.
	I think you're exactly right.
	And this reminds me, I was talking about this back in 1998 and 99, looking at the dot-com boom, that even then I knew this was a bubble.
	I was like, this is crazy.
	And I remember being like the only guy that thought that this wasn't going to go on forever, right?
	You know that feeling?
	You're like the only guy in the room that's like, this is crazy.
	This doesn't make any financial sense.
	Let's talk about two things.
	You've got Pets.com and crazy companies like that that made no money.
	Dr.
	Coop.
	Remember that?
	Right.
	And then you've got companies like AOL. That was literally the stock was going up 10% and 20% a week.
	It was insane.
	And then splitting.
	And then Yahoo was going up.
	And I knew there was a problem when I met a...
	I read a story about a retired teacher who had put $5,000 in, and he said, I made so much money on Yahoo stock that it makes my retirement look small.
	And the guy's traveling Europe on a motorcycle.
	And I'm thinking, well, this is insane.
	The economics of that is nuts.
	And then it goes and explodes, and everybody looks back and says, of course, it was faked.
	But if you look at 2008, that's what happened, too.
	They would do the stated income loans.
	And here in Southern California, you would have dishwashers that say, just tell them you make $250,000 a year.
	Tell them you make $150,000 a year.
	And these people were getting $600,000 and $700,000 houses.
	And what happens in two years when the payment's supposed to jump up?
	Oh, we'll refinance the house.
	And a lot of people did that, but a majority of people played musical chairs and the music stopped.
	And when the music stopped, they were done.
	And now, right now, stated income loans are back.
	You can go get a stated income loan.
	There is craziness with these people buying these houses still.
	And as much as it's starting to drop around the country, and, you know, there's the 11 largest markets in the country have price reductions right now.
	But you're still seeing craziness.
	And I get people that had a house two days ago, $700,000, and they thought it was $50,000 over market too much that they were asking for, and the house sold for $740,000.
	You're still seeing crazy stuff like that.
	But I think these people that buy these homes are going to, either they're never going to move or they're going to live to regret this very soon.
	Oh, I think we're seeing some of that already and a lot more yet to come, as you say.
	But let's zoom out for the bigger picture and let's talk about bank insolvency.
	I know you're watching what's happening with Credit Suisse over in Europe and You know, anticipated to be maybe the Lehman Brothers of Europe, the Bank of England bailing out the pension funds because of how they over leveraged into bonds.
	And I saw the United Nations, one group in the UN now in the last 24 hours, essentially begging the Federal Reserve to stop raising interest rates.
	Is that insane or what?
	That's absolutely nuts.
	And the Credit Suisse problem is great because when you look at this company, and it's funny, the video that drops in the morning has got two stories about Credit Suisse and that Parchego's capital, how they lost six, I think it was almost $6 billion in that.
	And they've had all these tax problems and all these scandals within the company.
	And It just touches the surface, but it's like any other dysfunctional family or dysfunctional business.
	When things finally explode, you go, wow, look at all these problems, and that's what's going to happen with Credit Suisse.
	You're going to realize too late when people lose their jobs and investments go south that they were just poorly managed and never thought the party would end.
	So there's going to be, you know, I mean, I'm very frustrated by things like that because I don't like the bailouts.
	I don't like the potential bail-ins because people don't understand that.
	And these banks...
	Are not on our side.
	No, they're not.
	I think you do a great job explaining that to people.
	And I think I've even heard you mention how when you deposit in a bank, you essentially become a creditor of the bank.
	That's the bank's money now.
	And what that means in general, so back in the day, the bank used to, if you put $100 in the bank, they were obligated to hold a certain percentage of that money inside the financial institution within the company.
	And that got lower and lower and lower.
	And then it got to the point that it was down to 1%.
	Now it's at 0% right now, guys.
	So when you make a deposit, it's just a journal entry.
	You might as well give it to somebody on the corner because they've got just as much financial solvency as some of these banks do.
	And when you start to hear the games that you're...
	You know, Bank of America here in Southern California is revolving bank, revolving the tellers through the different branches so you can go to a branch and not have a teller.
	I'm sorry, we cannot conduct business if you want to make a deposit.
	Yeah, it's nuts.
	And it's And then they cut their hours back.
	There are no, you know, a lot of these banks are not open on Saturdays.
	There used to be a law when I was a kid that the banks could not be closed more than three days for commerce and for people's rights.
	Now, sometimes you'll see banks close five, six, seven days.
	And during COVID, they would blame that.
	Now there's no blame for it.
	And they blame it on, you know, short staffing.
	And it's a mess, you know.
	Business in general, everybody has to look out for this.
	You've got to look out for the mom and pop stores that are going to be out of business because a lot of people still are not paying their rent.
	And then with these banks, you're seeing things that they're doing like that, limiting cash withdrawals.
	And again, Like, this one guy that wrote me buys autos, restores Volkswagen.
	So he buys auto parts.
	And you can't go to somebody and go, oh, I'll take that steering wheel.
	Let me write you a check.
	No.
	Somebody's going to bring cash behind you.
	So he has to carry cash with them.
	And now, when he used to go and get $8,000 and $9,000 and $6,000, it's such a pain at the same bank he's banked at for 15 years.
	Why do you need this?
	Can't we just write them a check for you, you know?
	And it's happening more and more.
	And then you can say, well, that's Bank of America.
	It's happening with Truist Bank.
	It's happening in the South.
	It's happening back East, Chase Bank, Citibank, every place.
	It's the real one.
	In, let's say, the immediate future, however you want to define that, but where we have a bank freeze, and not necessarily even bail-ins, but just sort of what James Rickards calls the ICE 9 scenario, just a freeze.
	It's like, ah, everything's frozen, no transactions, ATMs don't work, your money's on hold until further notice.
	Is that day coming for America, you think?
	I truly believe that day is coming.
	And, you know, I do follow Greg Mannarino quite well, you know, every twice a day.
	And with what he's saying and with these, the T-bonds, you know, who's buying those bonds right now?
	It's the federal government.
	The Fed has a desk on the trading floor, and it's insane.
	And I did a story at the beginning of the summer about how much they have what they call assets.
	And if they would dump these things, that would destroy our economy.
	So they're not doing us favors by doing this, but we're going to have a day.
	That's going to happen when I really think the banks are going to lock up and you're not going to get access to it.
	Now, I have one woman, Dawn, that sold her house and she cleared a million five from her house.
	She put $250,000 in how many banks is that?
	Six banks.
	Okay, pardon me.
	She did six banks to put $250,000 apiece.
	And now we can, you know, we'll protect you.
	Don't worry about that.
	And it's been nothing but grief ever since then.
	And the one thing I also tell people is when it comes to having cash at use is look at Hurricane Ian.
	You need to have cash out of the bank right now.
	You need to have cash.
	Oh, wow.
	What your balance is.
	And KeyBank and all these other banks that have had problems.
	And, you know, I like the credit unions better because you can walk in and get the financial sheet on where the company's at and in their position and they'll tell you.
	But, you know, and you're an owner of the bank and all the things that people talk about credit unions.
	But my friend goes into his credit union and they have a problem with cash today.
	That is crazy that they're going to put a hold on cash deposits.
	In one of your episodes recently, you were also talking about this county in New York, I think, that had a cyber attack where they can't record properties.
	Which county was that again?
	That's Suffolk County in New York.
	Now, think about this.
	They get a ransomware attack where they're shaken down and all of the business is completely shut down.
	Now, I had two people that live in Suffolk County that wrote me and said, "Dan, this goes much worse.
	The courthouse is closed.
	You can't process criminals.
	The cops, they cannot use dispatch.
	They have to use paper notes and use the old microphones and radios to do police calls right now.
	You cannot close any escrows or any houses.
	Now, here's the thing.
	Suffolk County has got regular houses, and it's got the Hamptons.
	It's got $40 and $50 million houses.
	What's going to happen with those houses?
	Now, again, I have a problem with people that are pretentious.
	I have a problem with people that know more than everybody else.
	And if you saw any of these interviews early on from Suffolk County, they're like, we'll get this handled.
	And this guy went home on a Friday and came back on a Monday when the entire city is shut down, county is shut down.
	I mean, it's terrible.
	Is that situation resolved yet, to your knowledge?
	Not yet.
	That's crazy, because that could go on indefinitely.
	Right.
	But again, you don't want to talk about things like that on the mainstream media.
	They just don't want to mention things like that.
	But, you know, I've got people that are doing TikToks, and Dan from I allegedly mentioned this.
	And let me tell you one step further.
	I'm a title processor.
	Think about this.
	When you have to sign, one of my subscribers wrote me And said, you've got to see what my attorney wants me to sign.
	I have to sign a form that states that I have no seconds on the house.
	I have no...
	I'm not interested.
	The house will not be sold to a third party.
	There's no renters.
	There's all these rules.
	And people have said, well, that's what you have to normally do.
	No.
	They have no way of checking this.
	They have no way of seeing if you have a second mortgage on the house.
	People are going to sell houses, get money, and certain escrows cannot close.
	The money is just...
	So how does a title insurance company even write a policy on that title if they can't check the records?
	They cannot.
	And your sworn statement?
	I mean, come on.
	But this is where this is going.
	And the problem with these cyber attacks is that it's embarrassing for the communities, the banks, the hospitals that have these happen to them.
	But this is a fact of life, guys.
	And what would happen to your business, your small business, if you lost your database?
	Do you have that backed up?
	I used to get stuff like that insured, and the insurance company would write these policies for nothing.
	And now I look like a genius.
	I never had that happen, but I look really smart when you do stuff like that because you don't know what's going to happen.
	And the world is getting more desperate.
	The criminals are getting more desperate.
	Yeah, I'm noticing that everything is breaking down.
	I mean, everything.
	Because, you know, I'm in the organic food business, and you talk about breakdowns.
	You know, we can't get what we want.
	I mean, we ordered 20,000 pounds.
	They say we have 900 pounds.
	Do you want it or not?
	Transportation, logistics, delays, cost increases, claims of damage, everything is just...
	It's like a disaster zone trying to get anything to function.
	But I hear that from everybody.
	Like every business owner has stories like that now that they say are very different from even three or four years ago, you know, pre-COVID. And that's the thing with the supply chain issue.
	You know, one thing about living by the beach, I had my first video that like totally blew up was I did a supply chain video showing how all these tankers were off the coast of Southern California.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And it was crazy because, you know, you would have these people that would be 24, 25 days out, and I went down to the port and filmed the port and showed us.
	It was a disaster.
	But here's the thing.
	This has not gotten better.
	The boats have finally dissipated.
	But the supply chain problem has not gotten better.
	And you're hearing this with even mom-and-pop pizza places.
	You're hearing it from the people in the UK that can't get carbon dioxide.
	They can't make beer right now because they can't have that.
	You know, you can't have bubbles in your beer.
	It's terrible.
	And it's little things like that that are destroying everything.
	And in the food business, I mean, I don't need to tell you, but it's so awful right now because let's say you need 12 things to make something.
	And you've got 10 of them.
	Well, you don't have what it takes.
	It's terrible.
	Yeah, you have to adapt and modify.
	Well, I know someone who's in the commercial truck, diesel truck business.
	And he told me, he said, Mike, look, we represent Dodge Ram trucks, the diesels.
	And he said there was something like 20,000 diesel Dodge Ram trucks sitting in a parking lot in Mexico because that's where they're made.
	They're all sitting there because we can't get train transportation to bring them to the United States.
	So they're just going to sit there until we can get train, you know, rail capacity.
	And then you hear about Union Pacific and the strikes.
	And then you hear about CF Industries, a fertilizer company, being told to reduce the number of rail cars that they're using, or they will be permanently banned from using Union Pacific.
	I mean, that's nuts.
	We've never heard that before.
	Absolutely.
	But see, that's the other thing.
	People don't realize that there's a food crisis coming.
	And one more thing about the cars.
	I got this sent to me from someone in Tennessee where they're saying, hey, the Knoxville Motor Speedway finally has people back at it because the parking lot's full.
	Well, the parking lot's full with four trucks right now that are incomplete.
	And, you know, that's a disaster.
	There's 45,000 Ford trucks that are incomplete right now.
	And, you know, Henry Ford developed, he invented, you know, the...
	Assembly line.
	Thank you, the assembly line.
	And think about this.
	I would not want to buy one of these vehicles that had, oh, it just needed the seat warmers.
	It just needed this.
	It's just, it's incomplete.
	And the quality control is gone.
	So I really think that it's just a really interesting time.
	When I went through that auto show, everybody I asked, every car manufacturer, Toyota, GMC, Kia, Toyota, I mean, Ford, everybody, oh, we have no problems.
	Things are going to be great.
	2023 is going to be the greatest year ever, and we're just not going to have any issues.
	And they're telling the public that, but there's, you know, 45,000 Fords sitting on a motor speedway.
	Right, right.
	That's crazy.
	And by the way, I was listening to your show, I think, yesterday, and You're talking, and then there are people in cars doing donuts in the background.
	Was that crazy?
	And then they let me walk through there, and after I got to it, they go, hey, you're not supposed to go back there.
	Well, and then the day before, you were blowing my ears out with the jet fighters that are making low-altitude passes as you were talking, because you were at the air show.
	The Huntington Beach Air Show is the world's largest air show.
	And that is, if anybody ever comes to California, that is one of those cool things where you can sit on a beach, it's free, and you can see all these jets fly right off the ocean.
	And I love it.
	I mean, we've done it for years, and they finally brought it back.
	And last year, they had an oil spill, so they shut the last day down.
	But it's just, it's a very cool thing to do that.
	And the weather was perfect, and with a lot of people out together, it was just fun.
	Yeah.
	This is great.
	I mean, you managed to have fun while doing this, while educating people, and you're showing people a lot of cool things.
	I got to ask you, though.
	I've never heard you talk about this.
	Maybe you did, and I missed it.
	But what's behind the name I allegedly...
	Well, you know what's funny?
	I have been a domain name investor for a long time, and I... I have a lot of domain names that I've had since the 90s.
	And I allegedly came out where my daughter and I were talking about it was just one of these times where people were allegedly this and people were being accused of all these different crimes.
	And I'm looking for allegedly.
	Wouldn't it be great to have a site that would share these alleged things that happened with celebrities and with people?
	And then it wasn't available.
	And then I allegedly I took.
	And I thought, that's great.
	And then when I started the YouTube channel, I thought, you know, that's kind of a...
	That's kind of a cool name that gets people talking and gets people thinking.
	And, you know, we say some things haven't been proven yet.
	So, you know, we're just sharing the news.
	That's cool.
	But why would you take on that domain name?
	Well, I just thought it was great.
	I just thought it was a great name.
	I thought it was a cool name.
	And, you know, I'm always amazed at different things that work well.
	And I just thought it was a cool name.
	And I really do like it.
	And it's really stuck.
	But, you know, it really fits with everything that we're doing right now because it's so much chaos.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	You and I got to get together after this because if you own a lot of domain names, my company owns over a thousand domain names, and we publish something like 300 different unique domain sites.
	And we got to get together and see if there's something we could trade or connect with our networks.
	People might need some of these domains we have.
	Absolutely.
	I know I'm over 500, but you got me beat by a lot.
	I've bought and sold really cool names over the decades now that I've done it.
	I didn't know that.
	I love it.
	Now, as the channel grows, I have a social media team that posts for me and does certain things.
	You know, so it really has been, you know, it's been a journey, but it's growing in the right direction.
	There's so many things that we're working on right now.
	So it's exciting.
	The other thing, what I love about you, and by the way, you still have a few more minutes to stay with me?
	Literally, I changed my...
	You have all the time in the world.
	Okay.
	Well, I also want to respect your time.
	I won't go too crazy here, but Another thing I love about what you do is that you teach people that there are opportunities everywhere and that all you have to do is look at a need that needs to be filled.
	You talk about this constantly and people that write you and have found a market niche to fill.
	Well, just meeting demand.
	Go ahead.
	One thing I love is where people make money out of the norm.
	And people sit there and say, there are no opportunities, there's nothing new.
	And last year, there was a guy that owns a car wash in Anaheim, California, that made a haunted car wash.
	And he would charge $30 a car.
	They would wash your car at night.
	Now think about it.
	Car washes aren't open at night.
	So this guy had people for the line was miles long and he would charge 30 bucks a piece and wash people's car.
	You buy tickets in advance and he made, I think he made like $150,000 doing this and It was insane.
	And he scared people and had his business doing different things.
	And that's the other thing is people need to look at what they're doing, what they're advertising, what's working and not working, because we're going to go through such a business change right now.
	And people are going to stop spending money in certain areas for certain things.
	I really think that you've got to squeeze more money out of your existing client base.
	You need to advertise to them more.
	The customers that are happy, you need to have those people promoted and get more business from that.
	Right now, there are so many opportunities out there to make money.
	I agree.
	And I just, you have to do something unique and different.
	And that's the thing is people get, you know, they get behind on bills, they get in a rut, and they think, I can't get out of this.
	And, you know, one challenge that we had in the channel, which I was really proud of, was I really think that people need to sell their junk right now and get rid of things that they don't need out of the garage.
	And, you know, it started, somebody sold 300 bucks and finally had somebody to Hungary that sold in American money comparison.
	They sold $8,400 worth of their stuff, golf clubs, things they didn't use anymore, $8,400 worth of it.
	And then they told me they bought silver with it.
	So that's smart stuff, you know, and.
	And you're seeing more and more things like that where people just need to get themselves out of debt.
	They need to get rid of any headache out of their life that they can get rid of.
	I completely agree.
	This is a time to unload while other people can still afford to buy.
	Absolutely.
	Because that situation may not last that much longer.
	And I'll tell you one other thing that was crazy.
	When used cars shot up, I had talked to certain car dealers and they would say, yeah, we're so desperate for inventory, Dan.
	We will buy people's leasebacks.
	We will buy a lease car before it's done.
	And I started talking about this on the channel and people were like, oh, you're crazy.
	I had a guy who, a lawyer accountant type of person that wrote me from Florida and said, I want to apologize to you because my wife told me to listen to your last video.
	And we took our truck in and we had nine payments left on the truck.
	And not only did they pay the truck off, they gave us $15,000 for it.
	So I want to thank you for that.
	But again, you know...
	I think those days are done right now because the inventory is building, and they sold a lot of these used cars to people, and people had high interest rates.
	Now they're starting to repossess cars.
	We're seeing difficult times ahead where a lot of people are behind in the car payments, and on average, about 70% of the people are not paying their energy bills on time right now in the country.
	That's horrific going into the winter.
	Yeah, there's a big warning sign right there.
	Let me ask you a more serious question, if you don't mind.
	In California, you said you're near Anaheim.
	Yes.
	What we in the preparedness community always talk about is not being close to high-density population centers as things get bad.
	Are you concerned about being that close to the cities there, or do you have a bug-out plan, or is that a secret, or what?
	You know what's funny is we have a bug-out plan.
	I'll give you a perfect example, Mike.
	I have a bug out plan with everybody, my friends and my children.
	If something goes down based on the level of the catastrophe, we know where to meet.
	We know if, let's say, the cell phones are taken out.
	We know exactly where to go and where to head to, without a doubt.
	And I've got plenty of food, plenty of water, money, silver.
	I've got everything I need.
	Protection.
	I have everything that I need right now to get through this.
	And that's what people need to work on.
	And it does start with a plan.
	It starts with your girlfriend, your wife.
	You know, your husband, you've got to have a plan for all this stuff.
	And again, I'm close enough to the hills to get out of here if something would happen.
	There's a toll road behind us that we can get to other freeways and areas.
	And again, we have a really good plan for that.
	You know, I'm fairly close to this stuff, but I think that Los Angeles is a real problem and San Francisco is an even bigger problem as far as I'm concerned.
	Right.
	But I also think that because you're monitoring the situation so closely here, I think you're going to have several days' advance notice.
	You're going to feel the early tremors before the massive quake hits, financially speaking.
	Yes.
	That's my sense.
	We would definitely, you have to be prepared for this.
	And we are prepared for it.
	We have a plan on where we would go and exactly what we would do, what food we would take, everything.
	And I just think that, it's really weird to think that we're living in times like this that we have to be like this.
	Our leadership is non-existent and it's insane, you know, right now.
	And you have to be ready for this.
	I'll give you...
	I want to share something that I wanted to share with you, you know, since I read about it today.
	Think about this, okay?
	California, you know, in the medical space, I used to go to the J.P. Morgan conference every year in January.
	And it was the big medical event.
	There was 12 other conferences around.
	And it was just almost a week-long festivities for the medical and medtech space and biotech.
	And it was a great event.
	Well...
	The first year I went, probably eight, nine years ago, it was fantastic.
	And it was just great.
	We walked everywhere.
	And then it got worse, a little bit worse the next year, the next year, the next year.
	It got to the point, the last time I was there was 2020, and it was a war zone.
	It was the most unsafe place I have ever been in my life.
	This beautiful, romantic city was destroyed, was absolutely unsafe, so much so that The final night we were there, there were two homeless guys throwing M80s at each other across the street.
	Boom, boom, boom.
	And we get a cop.
	We're like, oh my God, look at these guys.
	He goes, you guys need to get out of here before you get hurt.
	He was mad at us that we were there over these people.
	And on that trip, the day before, I walked into a liquor store and I'm wearing my suit.
	And hey, let's get a drink before we go.
	We just left the Ritz-Carlton.
	Walking down, I go to the slicker store, walk in, this guy says, hi, how are you?
	Hi.
	The guy proceeds to grab everything he can, stuff it in his pockets, jump over the barrier and take off.
	Wow.
	And I'm like, oh my God, this guy just stole.
	And, you know, I go, he's not with us.
	I don't know that guy.
	And he goes, no, I know.
	There's nothing we can do about those guys.
	And they just let this stuff happen.
	And that's insane.
	That is chaos and anarchy right there live.
	And that was in 2020.
	And it's only gotten worse.
	And I will never go back there as a result of that.
	Yeah.
	So you're seeing it firsthand.
	That's really powerful.
	The rest of us are just seeing video clips on TikTok about that.
	Yeah, here's one more for you that that was today.
	And I started with the story and that the California legislature, the governor just signed the free walk pass where you can.
	They're no longer going to cite people for jaywalking.
	Jaywalking is not a crime.
	Now, you can sit there and say, that's no big deal.
	It's a huge deal.
	When you drive down the street in crime-infested areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco, these people walk up to your car and ask for money.
	Now they're not committing a crime doing that.
	You understand how dangerous that is?
	That is your wife's safety, taking it into her own hands, driving home from work.
	And they will not cite these people as of January 1st.
	That is insanity.
	Well, I think Illinois has them beat January 1 with just letting everybody be.
	Illinois is going to not give you a ticket for attempted murder, stalking.
	Arson, kidnapping, all that stuff.
	You know, Mike, here's the thing.
	I'm sure you live a very safe life like I have to.
	And unfortunately, you have people that want to reach out, good and bad.
	And you've got to protect yourself for a thousand reasons.
	But imagine stocking laws in Illinois.
	If you call about stocking, they will not come out for 24 hours, 24 to 48 hours.
	Well, somebody's dead by then.
	I mean, it's horrible to think about Everything they're going to have, kidnapping, is not an available offense right now.
	It just proves that us in Texas have been right all along when we say we don't call 911, because what's the point?
	I spent last summer, I got to spend a week in Texas, and I absolutely loved it.
	And I had such a good time.
	And it would be...
	If I moved, it would be to Texas, without a doubt.
	And I just...
	The people were so gracious.
	Everything was great.
	The food was fantastic.
	And I just...
	Every time I thought I had the best barbecue, I was beat by the next place.
	Oh, yeah.
	There's good barbecue.
	And the people in Texas are really polite, too.
	I don't know if you experienced that.
	They were absolutely so genuinely kind.
	It was fantastic.
	And I really mean that.
	And I just love it.
	And I look forward to going back to it very soon.
	Well, I enjoy talking, too, because I have a big warehouse operation.
	We're always building something and adding on.
	And I enjoy talking to all the workers.
	I'll talk to the concrete truck driver, the long-haul rig driver, the rebar team leader, the drywall people.
	I talk to all these people.
	I ask them, what's going on?
	What are you seeing in the industry?
	I'm kind of like you, Dan.
	I'm curious.
	I'm always asking people questions, right?
	Well, that's boots on the ground is going to do it because that's your real news source.
	That's where you know if he goes to a place and they're, hey, they don't have inventory.
	They're three hours late to have me load.
	You know the truth when you talk to these people.
	You know everything.
	And business is not running smooth right now.
	It's operating, but it's not like it was four years ago.
	It's just not smooth like it was before.
	I'm one of these people that thinks these are the good times.
	I really think that you need to enjoy this while you can, make the money while you can, pay your bills off while you can, stack as much gold and silver as you can.
	Silver is the greatest investment, physical silver, that anybody can get.
	And if you can get your hands on it, get your hands on it, because there's not enough of a supply of silver to get through the manufacturing needs that we have in the next 10 years.
	And then you throw the crazy electric cars in there and everything else that they've got going and, you know, it just depletes everything.
	Yeah, and the price is such a deal right now because it's so suppressed by all the paper.
	But you've already spent a lot of extra time with us, and I really appreciate it.
	But we're going to wrap this up here shortly.
	What's the final thought you want to leave our audience with about all of this?
	We've covered a lot of ground.
	I hope we get to do it again.
	Mike, anytime.
	Anytime.
	You know what?
	I really want people to...
	First thing, Mike, thank you very much.
	Your team was very gracious, and I really appreciate everybody reaching out.
	And I really hope that we can beat the ninja.
	That would be the greatest thing ever in the world.
	But I really, after researching you and really knowing everything that you're about, I really appreciate this.
	And we're completely like-minded.
	But that's the thing.
	People, you're not living on an island.
	You are not kidding yourself.
	You're not crazy going through all this stuff.
	These things are happening and you're being told, oh, don't worry about it.
	The banks are good.
	You know, the stores, you know, have very little merchandise.
	Mike is in the food industry and has nothing but problems on the horizon.
	He doesn't sit there and say, wow, this is going to get better, you know, in December or January.
	There is no date for that yet.
	So with that coming, with impending crisis continuing, you've got to get yourself ready.
	Get your home in order.
	Get your team in order.
	And here's the thing.
	People write me and say, I'm by myself, Dan.
	I don't have friends.
	I don't have family.
	The church is too far away.
	Make sure you're content.
	Make sure you're happy.
	Make sure you're getting exercise.
	Make sure you're eating well.
	Make sure you're doing everything you can.
	And again, it's just not abusing things.
	It's getting outside, getting a walk.
	It's taking care of yourself physically and mentally.
	And again, there's like-minded people that are like us that believe that something is coming and you have to get yourself ready for this.
	And, you know, I could get real deep in this financially.
	I get real deep with the metals and the stock market.
	But I really think that there's going to be a point in time where we're going to have a serious banking problem.
	And you've got to have yourself ready to What if you lived in Florida and right now they're a week into this and they don't have banks after a week?
	And some of these cities are not, it's two to three more weeks before they're going to have banking.
	What do you do during that time?
	I mean, I would be okay.
	And just because we planned for stuff like this.
	I mean, I've got quarters for the parking meters for a rainy day.
	We've got crazy stuff like that that we've just done.
	And it's not, you know, $25,000.
	You don't need a lot of money.
	You need to be ready for this stuff, guys.
	And it's that simple.
	And make sure that you have protection and that you work on your security and your security plan with your family members and loved ones so you have a plan in case something goes on, goes wrong, because that day's coming someday, unfortunately.
	Yeah, it is.
	And I would just add, and I know you agree with this, Dan, and maybe we'll get a chance to talk about this as it unfolds.
	But also, folks, if you preserve your assets into things like gold and silver, there's going to be a day when you're going to be able to purchase assets at pennies on the dollar.
	I mean, ranches, vehicles, construction equipment, hotels, restaurants, factories, businesses, you name it.
	You're going to be able to walk in there with gold coins and buy at the price of a lifetime.
	That's kind of...
	Mike, here's the thing that we saw in 2008 and what we're seeing now again is that because people – Orange County is an affluent county.
	You have a lot of people with toys.
	We're already starting to see the golf carts on sale.
	We're already starting to see the electric bikes on sale.
	We're seeing jet skis, trailers, things like that already that people need to unload because they need money.
	I spoke with one of the pawn shops this last week.
	They're starting to see the high-end watches get pawned again for payroll.
	Hey, I got to make payroll and I got it.
	Here's two watches.
	What am I going to get for it?
	That day is coming sooner rather than later.
	In 2008, I wasn't ready for that.
	I was fighting through it.
	Now I'm ready for it.
	And it's not here today, but it's coming, guys.
	And you're going to be able to have everything that's going to go on sale and you're going to get tremendous deals that are going to come out of this.
	And you're not going to have to compete with other buyers who lost all their money in the banking system because that's gone.
	Yes, absolutely.
	That's the thing.
	If you have assets outside the system, and it could be gold and silver, it could be maybe some crypto does well.
	I don't know.
	I'm not big into crypto.
	You know what?
	The crypto thing hasn't been answered for me yet.
	And again, Mike, we could do this for another two hours.
	Yeah, true.
	The Department of Treasury today issued a report saying that we're against crypto.
	We think it could actually devalue our currency and cause a financial collapse.
	That is complete shenanigans because the Department of Treasury and the Fed is creating their own cryptocurrency.
	Right, right.
	JP Morgan has said, you know, Jamie Dimon, that fat cat has said, hey, listen, you know, I don't believe that these things have any value.
	They're not backed by anything.
	You will see the JP Morgan coin at some point.
	Mark my words, that guy will have his own coin that you should buy, but the other cryptos that you're buying right now are not good.
	So it's ridiculous.
	You have to look through the fog and through the steam that's being blown at you and understand that you have to prepare every day.
	And just a little bit at a time.
	Food, water, everything.
	Have it all.
	That's right.
	And live within your means, folks.
	Get out of debt.
	Understand compounding interest.
	Understand the rule of 72.
	Get it all nailed down.
	So, Dan, this has been fascinating.
	I know we're going to do this again.
	Let me just one more time plug your channel, folks.
	We're trying to help Dan beat the economic ninja.
	And the way to do that, if you ever visit YouTube, go to Dan's channel.
	It's called I Allegedly.
	And then go there and I think you click subscribe to the channel, right?
	That's how it works?
	Yes, absolutely, Mike.
	That's it.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I should know that.
	It's just...
	I don't really have an account on YouTube.
	I truly appreciate this, and I am so grateful for this opportunity.
	And, you know, I would love to come back here and do this again.
	I just, again, the message, guys, what you're being told is you've got to be ready for this because Lehman Brothers, you know, Jim Cramer was telling everybody, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, the company's solid, and then the next day the company was worth nothing.
	Right.
	But with some of these stocks, and you're going to see this again, but you've got to look at the future.
	You've got to look at gold, silver, uranium, things that people are going to be invested in regardless of what's happening.
	You've got to look at things like that.
	So good luck to everybody.
	Mike, thank you so much for having me on.
	And once again, guys, I allegedly, I'd love to have you there.
	I'm producing videos six days a week right now, and I just...
	You know, there's not a lack of news.
	Let's put it that way.
	Yeah, definitely.
	Okay, Dan, stand by as I stop the recording because I want to mention something after this.
	But folks, I hope you enjoyed this very informative video and definitely check out I Allegedly.
	You will learn more every single day.
	It's one of the few channels that I actually enjoy watching on YouTube.
	It's fun to watch and very informative.
	Thanks for listening, folks.
	I'm Mike Adams here.
	Brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	All right, that was a really cool interview with Dan at I Allegedly.
	I like that guy.
	I mean, he's got his head on straight.
	He knows what's up.
	He's a kind person.
	He wants to help humanity.
	He's getting out a lot of good practical financial advice.
	I think he's worth paying attention to.
	I really do.
	So I can't wait to have him back on.
	And we talked a little bit after that interview, and we agreed, you know, He said he'd be happy to come on anytime.
	So if things start to unravel and get really crazy in the markets, I might ping him on the phone and say, hey, Dan, you want to jump in and just comment on what's going on here?
	I might even do something shorter with him in the future on top of another guest that I have the same day.
	I might get a 10-minute quick update from Dan or something.
	Lots of possibilities.
	But here's something else interesting.
	You know, I had two interviews scheduled for tonight, and the other interview did not make it.
	I don't know if it was a scheduling problem or what, but it worked out just fine because I ended up being able to go a lot longer with Dan.
	So, hey, sometimes these things just work out, and the other guest is, I mean, we'll reach out and reschedule that person, which is fine.
	Hey, are you enjoying all of these different guests?
	Because I really am.
	Actually, this makes the podcast more interesting to me and hopefully to you as well.
	I mean, I think it's great to get all these different views.
	We had a great guest yesterday, Brickman, all about financial cycles and all that.
	We're having great guests all the time, so we've got a lot more.
	Great guest lined up for you.
	And I think every person has some wisdom to share with us, some life experience, some unique network of contacts, some unique sources.
	And I think it allows us to paint a more accurate big picture of where things are actually headed, like what's going to happen.
	And I think the upshot of this in the aggregate is that you and I are so blessed because we almost have a kind of crystal ball.
	Not quite.
	I'm not claiming it's magic or an actual crystal ball.
	I'm just saying we've got some foresight about what's coming.
	I mean, when I get to talk to people like Michael Yan, for example...
	And he's cruising around Europe and on the ground, talking to people directly.
	Just went through Germany last week, and he knows what's up.
	And we're going to have him back on here shortly, by the way.
	And we get that intel from Michael Young.
	Boom!
	We get intel from people like Dan, and I allegedly.
	Boom!
	We get intel from just people, all different walks of life, different industries.
	And you gather all that together, you can paint this big picture.
	And what is the big picture telling us?
	Oh, it's time to prepare.
	And maybe get more silver, get more gold, get more food, you know, whatever preparedness means to you, it's time, you know, because Bad times are coming.
	I mean, they've already begun in many ways.
	But it's great to have that advanced notice.
	So we're not the last-minute preparers, like I was joking about earlier, the people panic buying electric space heaters in Germany right now, thinking, hey, it's October!
	You just now figured out you're going to need heat?
	I mean, come on!
	So you don't want to be the last one In line trying to get something that you need.
	You want to be the first one.
	And it's these kinds of interviews and these kinds of contacts that make that happen for you and for me as well.
	I've got this incredible, you know, network of people that I know, hundreds of people that I know that are experts in all these different fields.
	It's quite astonishing.
	But I do my best to share their wisdom with you each and every day.
	All right, let me bring in another news item here, by the way, that I just spotted in the last couple of hours.
	From Zero Hedge, South Korea vows a stern response after North Korea ballistic missile flies 4,500 kilometers at a speed of Mach 17.
	So North Korea launched this missile, which obviously could be a nuclear-armed missile at some point.
	A ballistic missile that obviously went into low Earth orbit, and it landed far east of Japan.
	So it flew over Japan, which is not going to be thrilling to Japanese officials, by the way.
	It flew over Japan.
	It went 4,500 kilometers.
	It reached an altitude of apparently 970 kilometers.
	That's pretty high.
	Reached the speed of Mach 17, then it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, 2,800 nautical miles east of Korea after having flown over Japan.
	And Japan had put out some big alert as this was happening, telling people on these remote islands to seek shelter immediately.
	Local TV messages were running about that.
	Please evacuate to the inside of a building or go to the basement.
	Target area, Hokkaido.
	Hokkaido Oshima Town, Toshima Village, Niijima Village, Kozushima Village.
	I'm not going to try to pronounce all these villages, but you get the idea.
	Anyway, the point is that Japan was freaking out over this, and rightly so.
	You know, a ballistic missile goes overhead over your country.
	You start to sound the alarm.
	But the point is that You know, North Korea is a nuclear-capable country.
	They've been detonating nuclear weapons underground in testing facilities for, I think, a couple of decades now, something like that.
	So they just didn't have the long-range ICBM missile capability that they wanted in order to pose a real nuclear ICBM threat to other countries.
	Well, now we know they can at least launch a missile 4,500 kilometers.
	And probably it can go much farther because once you achieve, let's say, 1,000 kilometers of altitude, you can go really, really far across the planet with just a little bit more thrust, by the way.
	I mean, just a tiny bit more, you can go 10,000 kilometers.
	So I would guess that at this point, North Korea has ICBMs that can absolutely reach the United States.
	In fact, I think Kim Jong-un, I think he was bragging about that a few years ago, although people thought that might just be him bragging or exaggerating.
	But now we see, hey, they can launch an ICBM 4,500 kilometers.
	So Ask yourself, what kind of warheads might North Korea put on such a missile?
	And one of the answers is, well, an EMP weapon.
	So an EMP weapon detonated over North America, as you know, would send the United States and Canada back into the Dark Ages in terms of taking down the power grid.
	It's pretty certain that North Korea has that capability.
	I mean, they've got nuclear weapons.
	And a nuclear detonation has an EMP effect.
	I'm sure it can be maximized with certain designs and so on, but they've got the basic tech and they've got the missiles now.
	And North Korea is crazy enough to try to take down the United States with an EMP. I don't know if they get angry enough about it.
	So we're facing not just a nuclear threat potentially from Russia for all the reasons we talked about yesterday.
	The U.S. is trying to provoke Russia into World War III, of course.
	But now we're talking North Korea also.
	And don't forget, China has nuclear weapons and ICBMs and, you know, very capable rocket systems.
	Not nearly as many as Russia, by the way.
	Russia's got the second most nuclear weapons in the world, I think, right after the United States.
	But the U.S. weapons are very, very old.
	Overall, whereas Russia has newer, more advanced weapons, but fewer of them.
	And then there's China after that, I believe.
	And then after China, it drops off significantly until you get Pakistan and North Korea and some other, a few other nuclear, well, France, I guess, and so on, nuclear-capable countries.
	I guess Israel has nukes, too, don't they?
	Pretty sure they do.
	Pretty sure the U.S. gave Israel nukes.
	Anyway, the bottom line, folks, is that the world is becoming a very, very dangerous place.
	It's becoming dangerous for all kinds of reasons that are converging simultaneously.
	It's like I said, there's a platoon of black swans flying in formation or something.
	I mean, there's a kamikaze black swan squad that's targeting you.
	You know, they're...
	Doing dive bombing on humanity right now.
	It's the food shortages.
	It's the power shortages in Europe.
	It's the potential banking collapse.
	It's potential market collapse.
	It's the nuclear threats.
	It's the EMP threats.
	It's the bioweapons.
	It's the vaccine depopulation weapon systems.
	It's the censorship, the media propaganda, the rigged elections, and aliens with green lasers from outer space or whatever else they come up with.
	That last part was a joke.
	Or maybe they fake aliens at some point.
	What do they call it?
	The cosmic false flag?
	Like the U.S. Air Force throws a bunch of UFOs into the sky at night to try to fake an alien invasion to get everybody to surrender their guns or something?
	Wouldn't that be crazy?
	And the media's like, they're here!
	Give up your rifles!
	No, they're here.
	We need to keep our rifles, actually.
	That's the reason we need our rifles.
	But whatever, you get my point.
	It's becoming a very dangerous world.
	And so preparedness is the only choice that's going to keep us alive.
	It's like I said in a podcast that I posted over the weekend.
	You can make a choice.
	Well, everybody's going to have to make a choice.
	You're either going to choose to be a prepper or you're going to become a corpse.
	That's it.
	At least that's my belief.
	You either prepare in some way or you don't make it, probably.
	And it's just...
	It's not me.
	It's just cause and effect.
	It's kind of a cosmic law of, you know, you either prepare or die.
	And even squirrels know this, by the way.
	They're always hiding nuts everywhere.
	Squirrels have figured this out.
	How come people haven't figured it out yet?
	And also dogs know this as well.
	Dogs will get a bone.
	I've seen this.
	My own dogs...
	They'll find like part of a deer leg when I'm out walking.
	And so here's a deer leg.
	And what do they do?
	They bury it.
	They try to hide it from each other.
	What are they doing?
	They're stockpiling deer bones.
	It's a natural, instinctive behavior, even in dogs and squirrels and also mice, by the way.
	Have you ever stumbled across a little mouse nest in your house?
	And you find out, man, this mouse has been stockpiling.
	This is like a prepper mouse.
	Look at all this stuff.
	Got like pieces of rice in here.
	And where'd they find this?
	Like little chocolate bars and all kinds of stuff.
	I've found mice before.
	I was impressed.
	I was like, man, I should document this.
	This could be a lesson for the public, you know?
	The mice are stockpilers.
	The mice are survivors, whereas the people in Germany are like last-minute panic buyers of electric space heaters.
	Hey, I know mice that just gather up all kinds of toilet paper scraps and surround themselves with all this insulation.
	Like, we're cool.
	We're okay.
	We can make it through.
	Mice are survivors.
	Seriously.
	I'm not saying we have to be like mice.
	I'm just saying that this natural tendency exists throughout the animal kingdom.
	We could learn something by watching animals because they are preppers.
	So the bottom line on everything that we're all doing here is if we want to make it through, we need to continue to be prepared.
	Oh, along those lines, yes, I just heard from my staff today that It is the 11th coming up next week, a week from today, the 11th.
	That's when we're going to have the Ranger buckets available at healthrangerstore.com.
	And once again, we're going to have a limited supply.
	This is all we could manufacture over the last, what, month or so.
	And they're going to be sold out within a few hours, probably.
	This is the certified organic lab-tested, storable food in the really extremely well-packed, nitrogen-flooded, and then vacuum-packed and formed thick bags.
	I don't know what's the right way to describe these bags, but these have extensive shelf life.
	We call them bricks because they're compressed.
	You know what?
	I should film a video of this and show you what these actually look like.
	But it's built for very long shelf life with almost no oxidation because there's almost no oxygen inside the containers that hold the various foods.
	Anyway, it's called Ranger Buckets, as you know, and they will be available on October 11th, I'm told.
	Now, typically my staff releases those at 11 a.m., Central time.
	So if you think about it, it's the 11th at 11 a.m.
	So 10 slash 11, 11 a.m.
	We should do like 11 hours and 11 minutes just to have another 11 in there or something.
	But whatever.
	I don't know.
	Does 11 have some super special meaning?
	Like 9-11?
	It's like emergency?
	I don't know.
	But anyway, it's October 11th.
	Okay, and then a couple other things.
	We are still about to make the donations of $100,000.
	It's taken longer than I wanted.
	Part of it's my fault.
	I'm trying to finalize the list.
	There are so many recipients that we want to fund.
	I'm having to reduce the donation amounts to try to get checks to more organizations, but we will be announcing that final list very shortly.
	Again, it's $100,000.
	It was donated by Gary Haven.
	For this purpose, to give it out to alternative media that's focused on health freedom.
	So that's going out soon.
	Let's see.
	What else?
	Yeah, the discount code Ranger is still good at Shield Arms.
	That's shieldarms.com, and they make the folding AR-15s, both the pistol and rifle configuration.
	And I should have mentioned this before.
	Well...
	Use discount code RANGER, and I think you save $100 off of either one of those pistols or rifles.
	Personally, if I were buying an AR-15 pistol, I'd get it in.300 blackout caliber.
	But if I'm buying an AR-15 rifle, like a full 16-inch barrel rifle, I would normally just get the standard 5.56 caliber for that.
	It's just that with the shorter barrels, you know, the pistol configurations, I think.300 blackout is a much more versatile rifle.
	Because you can get subsonic rounds.
	You can get smaller, faster rounds like varmint type of rounds.
	You can get self-defense rounds.
	You can get training rounds.
	It's so versatile and it cycles better in the shorter barrels, by the way.
	That's been my experience.
	Just better cycling because the 5.56 round is not really typically made for short, short barrels, by the way.
	Some of you gun folks out there, you know that.
	Also, we were contacted by an individual that may want to start retailing some ammo to some of our listeners.
	And we're talking to this individual about that and if they're going to be able to offer any kind of discounts or special VIP pricing or anything like that.
	We've had a lot of trouble sourcing an ammo supplier for you because the ammo has been out of stock everywhere.
	Demand has been through the roof.
	But now demand is falling quite a bit.
	So I think we're going to be able to connect you with an ammunition supplier.
	At least I'm hoping so.
	So let's see.
	We've covered rifles, ammunition.
	Oh yeah, body armor.
	We have hoplitearmor.com.
	H-O-P-L-I-T-E. Hoplitearmor.com.
	Discount code Ranger.
	Gets you 10% off.
	And then we have Dawson Knives.
	Just like it sounds.
	DawsonKnives.com.
	Also discount code Ranger.
	Gets you 10% off.
	And those are American-made knives.
	They're made in Arizona.
	Amazing quality with the magna-cut alloy that is corrosion-resistant.
	It's almost like stainless steel, but it is far stronger, more resilient, holds an edge.
	Very, very tough.
	This is light years ahead of even ancient Japanese samurai swords.
	The MagnaCut alloy is just incredible.
	And CPM3V is also available there.
	Another type of steel.
	So let's see.
	We got you connected with firearms, body armor, knives, ammo.
	We've mentioned seed kits before.
	Silver.
	Learning how to grow food.
	Stuff like that.
	SogoSnacks.com for your meat snacks and so on.
	Yeah, that's a pretty good list right now.
	We'll keep working to connect you with some other suppliers of critical things that you might need for survival.
	Of course, HealthRangerStore.com gets you the food and supplements and all of that.
	And then Sat123.com for communications, solar-powered battery backup systems, things like that.
	So there you go.
	That's kind of...
	That's my best selection right now.
	Oh, make sure you get a water filter with all of this.
	If you don't have one already, we do offer some at healthrangerstore.com.
	Make sure you get a good quality water filter.
	I mean, if not multiple, like one for every vehicle that you have, if you have more than one vehicle.
	One in your office, one at home, one in your bug-out bag, and maybe a smaller portable camping filter.
	Just double-check all your supplies, folks.
	Make sure you're squared away.
	And with that said, then, I'll be back with you tomorrow with whatever updates happen over the next 24 hours.
	Oh, and remember, based on the interview with Brickman, he is anticipating that today the market may still rise significantly because it went up yesterday.
	But that Wednesday could be quite a retraction, perhaps breaking below, I think, what do you say, $28,500, something like that, which could indicate the beginning of entering the window of crash opportunity, I think.
	We'll see.
	We'll see where it goes.
	We're in the high-risk territory right now, so if you don't have an appetite for that risk, it might be a good idea to...
	Get out of that and get yourself into things that are going to hold value, which is what I've been recommending for a couple of years here.
	Anyway, thank you for listening.
	God bless you.
	God bless America, the real America, by the way, we the people.
	And thank you for all your prayers and support.
	I'll be back with you tomorrow with another outstanding interview guest and more analysis.
	Talk to you then.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
