	All right, welcome to the situation update for Monday, November 14th, 2022.
	Mike Adams here.
	Thank you for joining me.
	I apologize for my voice.
	It's kind of raspy.
	Nothing wrong with my voice.
	I'm not sick.
	I actually blew it out yesterday.
	Both, well, kind of screaming on the phone because I was on some heavy equipment trying to talk and also doing some long distance ranch work.
	And I was I just blew my voice out.
	It was very unwise.
	I didn't realize how bad it was.
	I woke up this morning, but whatever.
	And then with this bad voice, I ended up I was on with Owen Schroer at InfoWars and then they invited me to host an hour.
	So I hosted that at 7 p.m. and I invited John Perez on as my guest to have a talk about FTX and the crypto collapse.
	So what I've done then is I'm going to insert here in this podcast that entire interview with John Perez because we covered pretty much all the ground that I wanted to cover here in this podcast anyway.
	So in addition to that, I also interviewed Dr. Pete Chambers, who is an extraordinary individual.
	And we had a great conversation about how America can be resilient against the collapse and against world war and what you can do at a local level also to prepare for things that are coming.
	And Dr. Pete Chambers, by the way, he's a Green Beret, U.S. Army surgeon, a paratrooper.
	I mean, the guy's worked on the border.
	He's worked in Afghanistan.
	He's worked overseas.
	He's seen it all, you know, as much as you can in the military.
	He's seen the rise and fall of cities, and he's seen migrants, and he's seen hospitals, you know, overrun with injuries and everything.
	The guy's got incredible wisdom.
	So we're going to actually do that interview first.
	So that'll be coming up here in just a couple of minutes.
	But before we get to that, I want to cover some of the big breaking news over the weekend.
	And there's been a lot, of course, in the crypto space.
	I'm not going to just focus on crypto here.
	But just kind of to hit the highlights, it turns out, yes, that the FTX crypto exchange that collapsed was laundering money out of Ukraine, you know, so-called Ukraine donations.
	They were being laundered back to the Democrat Party as campaign donations in the United States.
	So it was just one other way that the elections were being rigged.
	And I've been getting a lot of intel over the weekend and also doing a lot of research.
	And I can tell you that this FTX collapse is only the beginning.
	The entire crypto space is about to get hammered like never before, including Bitcoin.
	And of course, heavy regulation is coming down very, very soon.
	No doubt they have the regulations ready, ready to go.
	It's going to be the FDIC. You know, it's going to be the SEC. It's going to be executive orders, whatever it takes.
	So this is all an event.
	In fact, I'm calling the FTX collapse the 9-11 engineered takedown in the crypto space because it was engineered and it was designed to achieve a particular outcome, which is a systemic contagion collapse of the crypto space and to cause a lot of people to which is a systemic contagion collapse of the crypto space and to cause a lot of people to lose a lot of money so that they could justify new regulations in preparation for the central bank digital currencies, the CBDCs that
	Probably about to launch for total enslavement of humanity.
	So that's going on.
	We're going to get into that with John Perez.
	But I do want to point out that the debate about whether cryptos are digital gold or not, that debate's over.
	And of course, the cryptos lost and physical gold won that debate.
	So there is no debate any longer.
	And the FTX collapse just pretty much settled that issue.
	So no, cryptos are not a store of value.
	That's done.
	And there are still some people out there who think that cryptos are going to recover from this.
	They think, oh, this is a great time to buy, you know, just get in now and it's going to go to a million.
	No.
	Cryptos, in terms of mainstream acceptance, they're done.
	It's done.
	Institutions are going to flee.
	They're running away like never before.
	Banks are going to run away from this.
	Merchants are running away.
	Retail investors are running away from cryptos as fast as they can.
	They're withdrawing from crypto.com.
	They're withdrawing from Binance.
	They're withdrawing from everybody.
	They were trying to withdraw from FTX before it collapsed and then vaporized billions of dollars.
	So cryptos as we know them are done.
	There's going to be a massive reconfiguration here.
	There's going to be a kind of a cleaning out of the underbrush of this.
	And on the positive side, a lot of the fraudsters and con artists and so on, the hypesters who have been in the crypto space are just about to get cleaned out, which is a good thing.
	Because in the long term, there will be more mature crypto solutions or applications that will be made available.
	And there is good tech right now in cryptos like XRP from Ripple.
	Monero as a privacy coin has really good tech.
	And of course, Ethereum is going to be around for a long time to come because of the cleverness of the distributed computational platform capabilities of that whole system.
	So, you know, crypto is not vanishing in totality, but the crypto bubble, the whole bubble phase of this from, I don't know, 2012 to today, 2022, this 10-year bubble, it's done.
	The fad is over.
	The fun is over.
	It's fun when it's all going up and everybody thinks they're going to be a billionaire overnight and that's just done.
	And also, by the way, for crypto to recover, there would have to be a whole bunch of new people to come into it right now who had not gone into it before.
	And there are no new people who are going to jump into it now.
	I mean, if anything, new people are going to say, that's crazy.
	Why would I put my money into some kind of an ecosystem where billions can vanish overnight?
	So, no.
	No one is excited about crypto right now.
	In fact, the collapse has only just begun.
	It's going to accelerate a lot more from here.
	Okay, now switching topics, but in a way kind of related, you know these midterm elections were seriously rigged.
	I mean, rigged beyond belief.
	Anytime the Democrats were losing a race, all they did is just slow down the counting, right?
	They just slow-walked the whole thing.
	They're like, we can't count ballots without taking 10 seconds per ballot, or whatever.
	They just slow-walk it, and then in the back room, they're printing, printing, printing more ballots.
	Oh, look what we found!
	And then, boom, all of a sudden, you know, another Democrat wins in Nevada.
	They're doing this to Carrie Lake right now.
	They did it already to Oz, obviously.
	They did it to Laxalt in Nevada and a bunch of other races all across the country.
	So Democrats cheated because that's what they do.
	They cheat, they rig, they steal, they lie, they deceive, they destroy.
	Now, but you see, we expect that from Democrats at this point.
	We know what they're doing.
	You know, it's ballot harvesting and ballot printing and ballot stuffing and playing games.
	Like, oh, water pipes broke.
	We had to shut down at 3 a.m.
	Right.
	We know your games, all right?
	We expect that from Democrats.
	But what is astonishing to those of us who voted Republican in the midterms, which I did.
	I voted a straight Republican ticket because...
	I mean, not just blindly.
	I mean, I looked at every candidate, and in every case, the Republican was the choice.
	But all my votes turned out to be Republican.
	And yet, I look at this and I wonder, where are the Republicans calling out the obvious vote rigging?
	You know, because let's say, if you're playing a baseball game...
	And the other team cheats in the baseball games.
	I don't know.
	Maybe they've got an extra ball in their glove, and then they tag you with this extra ball.
	It's like, yeah, you're out!
	Like, whoa, where'd that ball come from?
	And it was up their sleeve or something?
	If you're the team that has been cheated, you're supposed to call that out.
	Hey, hey!
	You cheated, that's an extra ball.
	Where'd that come from?
	Hey, umpire, come on over here, check this out.
	Replay, like, check out the video.
	This ball came out of nowhere.
	They cheated.
	You're supposed to say that if you're the team that was victimized by the cheating, right?
	But the Republicans, they say nothing.
	They are silent.
	The Republican Party is silent.
	Mitch McConnell, of course, silent.
	All these so-called leaders of the Republican Party, totally silent.
	And you get to a point where you say, well, if they won't call out the cheating, what's the point of anybody else pointing it out, right?
	I mean, Dr.
	Oz, he just gave in.
	He didn't even bother to say, well, wait a minute, where did all these extra votes come from?
	Why does this vary, this result, why does it vary so much compared to the polling?
	Because Oz was leading.
	In fact, according to the polls, the Republicans should have picked up the Senate by like five seats, maybe six or seven.
	Some people had the estimates as high as 11 seats, although I never thought that was possible.
	But And then it turns out to be actually minus one right now, and it could be minus two.
	So what happened?
	What happened?
	Well, it was cheating, but the Republican Party won't talk about cheating.
	So it's kind of pointless to support a party that won't even point out, you know, the cheating that took place.
	It's like, hey, you were cheated.
	Why don't you say something?
	Like, oh, we don't want to say, we don't want to be controversial.
	We don't want to say that they were cheating, but you know they were cheating.
	It was such obvious cheating.
	Well, but we don't want to say they were cheating.
	Because that, you know, might be bad press about that.
	We just got to take the cheating.
	And then they say, we'll do better next time.
	No, you won't, you morons.
	You won't do any better next time because the same cheating is going to happen again in 2024.
	And a lot of us warned about this.
	So, you know, if you don't deal with the voting machine issue, how are you going to win elections?
	Ever.
	And the answer is, they're not.
	The Republican Party doesn't plan to ever win anything.
	They would rather be losers.
	And I don't mean every individual in the Republican Party.
	I mean, obviously, Carrie Lake is a winner, not a loser.
	You know, Jim Jordan's pretty awesome.
	Matt Gaetz is pretty awesome.
	There's a lot of examples.
	Rand Paul.
	But overall...
	The Republican Party is a party of a losing mentality.
	They are far more comfortable losing than winning.
	And even when they do win, they get all nervous.
	Like, oh my god, we got power!
	What should we do with it?
	And then they sit around a room and they decide, let's flush it down the toilet!
	Because that's what Republicans do with power.
	We flush it.
	They're afraid of power.
	They're afraid of winning.
	They're far more comfortable losing and then fundraising off the false promise of what they'll do if they ever gain power.
	It's like, oh, give us money and we'll build a wall.
	Give us money and we'll fight back against the vaccine mandates.
	Give us money and we'll investigate the Clintons, right?
	They don't mean any of that.
	They just raise money off of it.
	And then they lose elections.
	Oh, gosh, we lost again.
	It's all rigged, but we're not going to say it.
	And then they take the campaign money and live off of it for a while, you know, until the next election.
	And then the Republican donors are just suckers.
	If we donate enough money, maybe they'll win.
	No, they're not going to win.
	They don't even want to win.
	They're not interested in winning.
	They're more comfortable being losers, sadly.
	I mean, that's just an honest analysis of where we stand.
	So, after a lot of analysis, I've come to the following conclusion.
	The United States of America is going to stay under tyrannical, illegitimate Democrat rule until the collapse happens.
	And by the collapse, what I mean is the collapse of the dollar currency and the collapse of Washington, D.C., the collapse of America as a nation.
	Now, how far away is that?
	We don't know exactly.
	Could be a decade away.
	Could be by Christmas, right?
	Could happen in early 2023.
	Who knows?
	I mean, the financial collapse is seemingly growing near because we have, well, the BRICS plus nations about to launch a new global reserve currency, which will make the petrodollar obsolete.
	And then all these dollars come flooding back to the United States, and then we can't print debt anymore.
	I mean, we can't sell debt.
	I guess we can print debt, but nobody's going to want to buy it.
	So then the U.S. government ends up buying its own debt, which causes hyperinflation, obviously, pretty quickly.
	And then the country suffers like Venezuela for a while, and at some point the whole system collapses, but not before a lot of people are murdered by the government and silenced, and just censorship gets worse and worse, and political prisoners, and all of it.
	It's a hell scenario.
	But it looks like that's what we're going through, and that's the only way, actually, that this regime is going to be...
	Remove from power, not through voting, obviously, because voting doesn't even count at this point, but through collapse.
	So think about that and prepare yourself to survive that and then to rebuild on the other side of that.
	The collapse could happen, well, I mean, it will happen overnight at some point when the appropriate trigger point takes place.
	It's just going to happen, boom, like that.
	You won't even be able to anticipate it.
	Kind of like with the Soviet Union in 1991.
	It's like all of a sudden, wham!
	Although there were signs leading up to it, right?
	But there are signs in America, too.
	Lots of signs leading up to collapse, you know?
	Like the fact that so many Americans are waking up and they realize the elections are rigged.
	You know, the collapse of the purchasing power of the dollar.
	And now we're about to have collapsing asset markets.
	And now we've had this crypto collapse, which is affecting many millions of people.
	There's a housing market collapse that's underway.
	Diesel fuel is about to become very scarce.
	And what happens when the food doesn't show up in the grocery stores?
	A nationwide collapse can actually unfold rather quickly.
	In fact part of my interview coming up here with Dr.
	Pete Chambers is about that scenario and what it's going to look like in cities versus neighborhoods and how you can Keep yourself safe and your family and your communities safe against the marauders, the starving zombies or whoever's going to be running around looking for food and killing people for food.
	So there are some steps that we can take.
	You've probably already taken most of them at this point to prepare yourself for what's coming.
	Oh, by the way, in all of this that we're talking about, the crypto collapse, asset collapse, and then the collapse of the United States' illegitimate government, You know what's going to have value in all of this?
	Gold and silver, folks.
	Gold and silver.
	And land.
	And whatever else is, you know, real and physical, the very things that we've talked about, aren't you glad that we never promoted FTX or other cryptos?
	Like, the things that I promote are things that always have intrinsic value, like, oh, you know, a really great knife here, or backup satellite communications, you know, satellite phone store, right?
	Or gold and silver, physical coins in your hand.
	Nothing that I've promoted has ever...
	Turned out to be a collapsed disaster.
	But right now there are thousands of YouTube influencers who are just stumbling over each other trying to apologize as quickly as possible because they were promoting FTX. And they got paid handsomely for it too.
	Some of them made big money, tens of thousands of dollars a month to plug FTX. And now that that whole system collapsed, I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of YouTubers that are going to be, you know, suing those influencers.
	Like, you told me FTX was good.
	You said you checked it out.
	You said FTX was the future.
	You said it was going to go to a million or whatever.
	And then it went to zero?
	Because that zero is really far from one million, it turns out.
	It's like infinitely far.
	And, you know, in terms of percentages and so on.
	But there's going to be a lot of lawsuits flying against those people.
	I'm just glad.
	I have a lot of discernment about the very few things that I do choose to promote or advertisers I choose to connect with.
	It's a pretty short list.
	Because I have a lot of discernment and I only recommend things that I know have intrinsic long-term value.
	And I don't promote things that, as you know, things that are like scammy or wishy-washy or like get rich quick or anything like that.
	Because that's a waste of time.
	It's all going to blow up in your face, which is exactly what just happened.
	Just happened.
	It's an amazing thing to watch.
	So if you ever had a question about what is counterparty risk, you know, when I talk about it from time to time, And I've said frequently, you know, beware of counterparty risk, right?
	If you have deposits in a bank, well, what happens if the bank fails, right?
	And if you have crypto in an online exchange, what happens if that exchange fails?
	Well, that's called counterparty risk.
	And the only things that do not have counterparty risk are gold and silver and other real physical assets.
	Even dollars have counterparty risk because they have no intrinsic value themselves.
	The dollar becomes worthless overnight if the institution that is issuing the dollar, i.e.
	the treasury indirectly, if people lose faith in the treasury and the U.S. federal government and its ability to engage in taxation confiscation, well, then the dollar becomes worthless overnight.
	Gold and silver can never become worthless overnight because, again, they have intrinsic value and demand, and they are elements on the table of elements, as I've spoken about quite a few times.
	So, by the way, for those of you who stacked some gold and silver over these years, and you were teased by the young'uns, as we'll say, use a little southern lingo there for you, the young'uns, you were teased by the young'uns because they said, oh, you're old-fashioned buying gold and silver.
	You should get into these cryptos and whatever.
	Because we all going to be billionaires, they thought, you know, 25 years old, have no clue about what happens in life.
	Well, rest assured that they are getting a very expensive lesson right now and they wish they had your gold and silver because it's still there, hasn't vanished.
	So rest assured, once again, you made the right call.
	You made the right decision and I assure you that What I'm sharing with you here, these philosophies of how to protect your assets and how to not get wiped out, these are 100% correct philosophies.
	In terms of the big picture, although we may not know exactly when things are going to happen or exactly what prices things are going to fall into, but in terms of the big picture, everything I share with you is tried and true wisdom that's going to get you through these scenarios.
	I've authored several books on these subjects like survival nutrition and resilient prepping, for example.
	And if you haven't yet downloaded that, just go to resilientprepping.com.
	You can download it for free, the whole audiobook.
	And you'll note that everything I talk about in these books is proven true.
	Eventually.
	I mean, some things are still ahead.
	Like, I talk about the collapse of cities and the post-collapse economy and how people will be bidding on salvage rights to the homes and commercial buildings that have been abandoned because of the mass die-off.
	Well, clearly that hasn't happened yet, but mark my words, it's coming.
	It's coming.
	We're going to have a salvage economy in many areas of the United States.
	So, you know, heed the advice of those who are proven correct again and again and again.
	And, you know, the whole crypto space has lost 70% of its value in the last roughly one year or so.
	And so that's a crash right there.
	70% crash in crypto valuations.
	It's going to go to 95%.
	People will be lucky to get 5% out when it's all said and done.
	And Bitcoin, John Perez says Bitcoin is going to $4,200.
	And I think he might be an optimist.
	I think it's not out of the question that Bitcoin goes to under $1,000, frankly.
	With the new regulations kicking in, I should add.
	Like it's not going to go to $1,000 tomorrow.
	It might go to $14,000 tomorrow.
	But to get down to $1,000, that's going to be post-regulation impacts right there.
	So that's probably several months out.
	You know, think about 2023.
	What's going to kick in there?
	Janet Yellen and the SEC and everything.
	And they start clamping down on cryptos.
	What's going to be the value at that point?
	Well, it's going to be a fraction of what it is right now.
	So we're about to jump into the first interview with Dr.
	Pete Chambers.
	I do want to remind you that we have our so-called Cyber Monday event.
	This is the last day of our Black Friday series of sales at the Health Ranger store.
	And we do have Ranger buckets in inventory, which is, again, that was our goal.
	And we're very happy that we were able to keep them available to people.
	And we have really strong sales up to 55% off some products and other discounts on many items.
	And you can find all of that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Today's the last day.
	This is our once a year event and it's over after today.
	And we're shipping out today, by the way.
	We have our crew.
	They worked overtime over the weekend also, prepping packages for shipping.
	So a lot of you who made purchases, you're going to get emails with all your tracking numbers today and tomorrow.
	And we'll be shipping out, frankly, all this week to try to catch up.
	So thank you for your support, and thank you for your patience.
	And we greatly appreciate everything that you're doing to keep us on the air and functioning and paying the bandwidth for hosting, you know, brighteon.com and brighteon.tv and all of it.
	We really appreciate your support.
	So with that said, then, we're going to jump into the interview with Dr.
	Pete Chambers, and I think you're going to find this really fascinating.
	And I'll join you on the other side of that to introduce the second interview with John Perez.
	Alright, welcome.
	This is Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighttown.com.
	Excuse my raspy voice today.
	I'll explain that later.
	But I've got a great guest joining me today.
	Someone who I first met in studio at the Alex Jones Studios in Austin.
	It's a U.S. Army surgeon and Green Beret, Doc Pete Chambers, as he goes by.
	An extraordinary individual that's in this battle for health freedom and really helping to get a lot of things changed for veterans and active duty veterans.
	Members of the military and also civilians as well.
	Dr.
	Pete Chambers, welcome to the show.
	It's an honor to have you on, sir.
	It's great to hear you and it was great meeting you the first time.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, you are an extraordinary individual.
	You've been through a lot yourself.
	Can you give our viewers, since this is the first time that we've been able to interview you here, can you give our viewers a quick background of what led you to where you are right now?
	Sure.
	I was an 18-year-old kid looking for a job.
	Joined the Army in 1983 under Ronald Reagan.
	Served 39 years between active guard and reserves.
	Did my last stint with Texas National Guard on the border and the invasion that I call it on our southern border.
	Finished that in May.
	And retired.
	And along the way, I was an infantryman, a paratrooper, a Green Beret, and a flight surgeon.
	So I guess you call it a Swiss Army knife.
	Wow, I guess so.
	So did you serve as a surgeon on staff?
	Well, I never really worked in a hospital.
	You know, when you're a green braid doc, they expect you to do the same stuff.
	So you're jumping out of planes, you're on the X, so to speak, or we call it, you know, being close to the battle.
	I tended to get a little closer than the commanders liked.
	However, I always explain that's where the casualties are, sir.
	And, you know, there's a lot of...
	Because I did carry a rifle before that job, so they felt comfortable with me being out there.
	And it's where I needed to be.
	Well, that makes...
	Makes good sense.
	I want to give out your website too.
	It's drpetechambers.com.
	So drpetechambers.com.
	And you've got all your links there where people can find you on Telegram and other places as well.
	And your most recent deployment was, as you said, with the Texas National Guard, correct?
	On the border.
	Yes, sir.
	And that deployment just ended recently, did it not?
	For me, it ended probably at the end of the year, you know, December.
	But I had to continue on to get my retirement.
	30th of May is when I officially retired out.
	But yeah, that was quite an event down there.
	Yeah, and it's nowhere near over either, as you well know.
	And it's a problem that's being widely ignored.
	But we're not even going to focus on that problem tonight.
	Let's talk about vaccines.
	And I know that you publicly said that you were vaccine injured and you're fighting for vaccine choice in the military.
	Can you give us a quick briefing of your experience in that area?
	Sure, absolutely.
	That's great.
	Then we can segue into the fight.
	When the shots first came out for the military and then I was put on that mission to Operation Lone Star to be the surgeon, like every other soldier standing in line, this was before VAERS data, before the defense medical epidemiology data that I was a whistleblower on, before all of that.
	Hey, here's your next shot.
	You're taking this.
	And I had just come from Africa, so I was not in the know as far as what was going on worldwide with this thing.
	We don't get a lot of news in the Sahara.
	So I show up to Texas and, you know, take the shot.
	You're going to be the task force surgeon.
	I go down there.
	And within a few weeks, I started getting some brain fog and the typical things you hear people, vertigo, tinnitus, you know, ringing in the ears.
	And then somewhere about two, three weeks later, some of the soldiers that opted to take it on their own, they didn't have to at the time, had my first case of a soldier that was 27-year-olds with myocarditis.
	Now, didn't really put it together at that time.
	Hindsight's 20-20 now.
	But as we started getting more cases and more things like that in this younger population, and I really followed this soldier carefully, we had to pull him out of the military.
	His heart became like an 80-year-old with congestive heart failure.
	Wow.
	So that was concerning.
	Mandates come along in August, I'm sorry, the Department of Defense mandates where we had to take them.
	At this point, I've been doing informed consents following people like Dr.
	Tenpenny and And Dr.
	Malone and Dr.
	McCullough, I was listening to them, but they didn't really have an informed consent for us to give out.
	They just said, okay, well, just tell them to take it.
	And I'll tell you an interesting story here in a second, but I'm doing informed consents and nobody's taking it because essentially, at this point, I'm going, no, we're not doing this because I've already started to have this problem where I got vertigo, I can't drive.
	My job, I went from McAllen, Texas to Presidio, Texas and back and forth.
	So that's a long ways.
	That's nearly half the border of 1,249 miles.
	So driving was a problem for me.
	But the other problem was me putting people in the hospital.
	And when I called and spoke with Dr.
	Teresa Long, the flight surgeon out of Fort Rucker, active duty flight surgeon, she had done an affidavit that was eloquent and explained her point of view, what she was seeing with aviators.
	And so we got together.
	And then we presented to Senator Johnson on the Senate side, Wisconsin Senator, The Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, which showed the skyrocketing, you know, for example, neurologic disorders, 11X rise, you know, 1100%.
	Okay, so we presented that.
	And when we did, the DOD shut the system down.
	And that's when I knew we had a nefarious actor in our midst.
	Either that or a bunch of idiots running the system.
	So, now, since then, of course, Attorney Thomas Renz has worked with DOD whistleblowers, you know, other than yourself as well, and a lot has come out, and yet the Pentagon has not changed its stance.
	It's, I mean, to my understanding, it's still, you have to take the shots, you know, shutting down all critical questioning, shutting down any surgeons or doctors.
	You know, I've interviewed Dr.
	Sam Sigaloff as well on this issue.
	Why, in your estimation, has the Pentagon not been willing to listen to To the data on this.
	Okay, so yeah, this is...
	Sam Sigalov is a hero in my book.
	And, you know, so is Lieutenant Bashaw and Trace Long, obviously, the Joan of Arc of this thing.
	She kicked it off.
	Why are they tripling down now?
	It's either pride or it is...
	There are some backside...
	Hmm, financial rewards for people up at the top.
	And I could not say that when I was in uniform, but the more and more that I see it and the more and more that I understand how this system works, despite the fact that we found out, and look, I testified, Teresa Long testified in Tampa, Seals versus Lloyd Austin.
	And we got it admitted into evidence.
	They were not safe.
	They are not effective.
	And how did you, Dr.
	Chambers, on the border, keep your guys on the border, before they were mandated, at a very low vax rate, healthy?
	By lesser intrusive means.
	This is how simple it is.
	Betadine mixed with saline.
	Do a nasal swab after you see 17,000 people this week on the border.
	Okay, Doc.
	And that's what we did, and nobody was sick.
	Once the mandates came, 77% double-vaxxed, the ones that were sick.
	So, well, let me ask you this, and you know, you're, of course, never...
	I'm not trying to push you in any direction on answering this.
	You're free to disagree, obviously.
	But I have said, based on interviewing other guests, that it looks to me like...
	There are traitors at the top of the Pentagon that are trying to weaken the US military to make our country vulnerable to invasion or war.
	Now, I realize that that's pretty far down the spectrum of possibilities.
	It's pretty damn evil if true.
	What's your reaction to someone like me saying something like that?
	I have no problem with that because that's definitely in the quiver of...
	When I consider what an enemy is going to do to me, I look at the most likely course of action and the most dangerous.
	And that's on the most dangerous side.
	And I have...
	I have some assurance that that is partially true with some of the actors at the top.
	Yes, that there is sabotage going on of our military.
	There is a culling of the force of people like me, critical thinkers that say, hey, no, I'm not going to do this.
	I'm going to interpose.
	I told a two-star general, no, sir, that's an unlawful order when he told me not to do informed consents.
	You've got to stand up and do that.
	And when you do that, it's dangerous for you, despite whistleblower There are nefarious actors within our ranks.
	I believe that.
	Well, that's no surprise to our listeners because, well, there's been a lot of infiltration of many institutions.
	But let me bring in this other element here.
	In news recently, and this is in the context of escalation into global war, And the readiness of the United States, or I should say the lack of readiness.
	So recently it was reported that the United States funded the purchase of 100,000 rounds of artillery from South Korea to be shipped to Ukraine.
	And I think those are rounds for the M777s, not the HIMARS rounds, but these...
	It dawned upon people in reporting that news and reading it that the United States has apparently run out of excess munitions or is perhaps keeping some amount in reserve but cannot let go of any more and is having to reach internationally For munitions to supply Ukraine,
	which when that is combined with what we just talked about, the potentially deliberate weakening of U.S. troops and then the lack of munitions remaining because so much has been sent to Ukraine, doesn't this raise a lot of red flags about the vulnerability of domestic defense in the U.S.? Correct, yeah.
	At the strategic level, we cannot handle a war on two fronts anymore.
	And, you know, my job as a lieutenant colonel was to marry up the tactical situation on the ground with strategic level planning.
	And so, you know, those things would come down to me.
	I know for a fact, and this is me, firsthand information, state of Texas, that our munitions have been depleted, period.
	Now, I can give you that firsthand.
	I've heard from other people that, yes, that's happened...
	Branch-wide as far as the HIMARS, the Carl Gustavs, which are anti-tank round, been around for a long time.
	There are newer versions out that are pretty accurate.
	The 155 rounds, which are howitzer rounds that are, you know, indirect fire weapons.
	So those have been depleted to the point where, yes, when you're having to shift from other allies or by, that's pretty sad.
	Yeah, I would say.
	And then you add on top of that the industrial capacity needed to manufacture those weapons and the requirement of resources of things like copper, metal alloys, aluminum, and also energy and transportation and all these things.
	A lot of issues we have with the domestic labor supply, where a lot of people aren't interested in working, frankly.
	The question becomes, how do we replace those munitions?
	And if we escalate into a global theater of war, do we even have the capacity to sustain the soldiers in the field, right?
	That's a legitimate question, is it not?
	It's absolutely, yeah.
	Logistics, you know, it was once said that an army...
	You know, marches on its belly.
	Logistics, to be able to bring things to the fight is paramount.
	You can do small, sustained, limited warfare operations where you jump some guys in behind enemy lines, but eventually they're going to need a resupply.
	And when you can't provide that resupply, this is a guy like me, a paratrooper's nightmare.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, this is like a bridge too far right here.
	You get dropped in and then you're like, well, good luck, you know?
	Good luck, right.
	Yeah, I mean, eventually you run out of ammo, especially if you're a paratrooper.
	Right, so this is the perfect storm for a setup for us.
	We had 5 million some odd people come across that border.
	While I was down there, we had 2 million come across in just that short period of time that I was down.
	22% of my troops that we evaluated, 22% of those people that came across were fighting age males that were not here with family units.
	Where are they?
	That's my concern.
	Where are they?
	Yeah, so this almost brings up a bigger question.
	I mean, it's like they're putting boots on the ground, occupying the United States with people who could be later activated?
	One answer for that.
	Tenth Amendment.
	Why are we not declaring invasions on the border and in limited, you know, because states have the right to do that in our Constitution.
	But I feel like every time that we allow our government to declare some sort of emergency, that suspends portions of our Constitution, if not the whole thing.
	This is a concern.
	This is why I'm on the legislative side.
	You know, fight now because I'm speaking directly to these people that are up on the Hill, but also state legislators to get them to say, hey, this is an invasion on your border.
	So let's start going after them.
	Let's connect the dots then on what we've discussed so far.
	So on one hand, domestically, we have a Pentagon that is...
	Maiming or injuring or killing U.S. active duty members with vaccines.
	And to some extent, the civilian population is also being injured or killed by vaccines.
	And then we have these replacement masses by the millions coming across the border with, frankly, unknown vaccination status.
	So it's not, my understanding is not being mandated on those coming in.
	So they will maintain fertility.
	They will be able to But the American people are being killed or made infertile or having spontaneous abortions.
	I mean, this seems like a straight-up genocide operation to me.
	This is what, you know, a good friend of mine that you've talked to, Michael Yon, he'll be coming back here soon.
	Michael has termed the phrase human osmotic pressure.
	And it is a technique that is used by, you know, Stalin used it into Ukraine way back when and when they had the famines before there.
	And that's another story.
	And when you see that, when you transfer migration, you change the populace, you change the attitude, you change the national pride, if you will, in some nations.
	So there's no loyalty to that nation.
	And that changes so quick.
	You know, this is a quick flip-flop of ideology, if you will.
	And that is a Marxist agenda.
	And this agenda is also being run against Europe, of course, because we've seen the overrunning of France and Germany and to some extent the UK and other countries there with, I guess you could call them migrants in a polite way, who are coming in and like literally I guess you could call them migrants in a polite way, who are coming in and like I mean, it's happening to Western nations.
	That's the point.
	Yes.
	You know, here's an interesting, to put it in perspective, I was standing on the border one night, we had about 900 people coming across one night in Roma, Texas, and I was standing next to an E-7, a Sergeant First Class, and he looked at me and said, Doc, you know, when I was three years old, I came across that border.
	And I had been talking to this guy for a while.
	He's been in two combat deployments, has a Silver Star, a Bronze Star, and a Purple Heart.
	All right.
	Kid came across the border illegally, but became a productive member of society during the typical, and that was 20 years ago or so, probably about 30 years ago when he came across and became a war hero in my book.
	And now he's telling me that this is unsustainable.
	Yeah, I feel for these people, too.
	You see the little kids coming across.
	I saw many.
	I've coded some that died of heat, you know, injuries.
	But, you know, we love humanity and we love people.
	But when you can't sustain it in a hospital, we call that a mass cowl.
	You know, when it overwhelms your system.
	And you have to go to triage and working out of bags.
	It overwhelms your system.
	If we're going to do this, let's do it right.
	Let's do it legally.
	But if they do come across like that, we can handle it.
	We could have handled it back in the day.
	But right now, it's overwhelming.
	It was a 24-hour period.
	We had 17,000 Haitians show up in Del Rio.
	What do you do with that when you've got 50 National Guard guys?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, and the other thing is somebody is encouraging all these people to come across and to bring their children for the pity factor.
	So it's not like these people are spontaneously just coming up with their own idea, hey, let's go to America.
	Someone is marketing this idea to them and even transporting them in many cases to bring them to this point so they are being exploited by those globalist forces.
	That is the human osmotic pressure thing.
	I mean, there are pawns in this, and like I said, I feel bad for them.
	Hey, I was used as a pawn.
	We all were used as pawns in certain portions of this Afghanistan debacle, which is a whole other story.
	But, you know, I feel for those people.
	I feel for the guys that I lost and their families.
	It's discouraging.
	Well, yeah, I feel for them too, and I always believe that the best way to have compassion for humanity is to spread freedom, right?
	I mean, that's how you end human suffering, is allow people to achieve freedom everywhere around the world.
	And then they don't feel like they have to flee if they feel free and abundant at home, wherever they are.
	So let's shift gears, though, to Ukraine.
	There seems to be kind of a pause in the situation there.
	There's been apparently a retreat by Russia from Kherson, and the weather's getting colder.
	The ground's not yet fully frozen, but that day is coming.
	We all know the implications of that from studying World War II and Soviet movements and so on.
	Where do you think things stand there right now?
	I think we're probably going to see some sort of a negotiation take place.
	Now, you know, some of this, if we just stand back and we just think about this in the form of a chess player, if you will.
	And there are people that are, and I'm going to use the globalist elites who are playing chess with different world governments and different countries.
	Different black and white checkers on the board.
	This has been orchestrated for this time in history to happen, just like many other of these things.
	You know, the Arab Spring, etc.
	These all take place at a global scale, and somebody has to have some sort of a playbook going out there.
	But in this case, Look, I came in under Ronald Reagan.
	We were practicing with our bayonets in Russian dummies, right?
	I mean, the targets.
	And so we were trained that the Soviet Union is the demise of the future of the West.
	But now, you kind of look back and you think, well, if somebody planted a bunch of bioweapons labs on our border at Mexico, Wouldn't that concern you?
	Wouldn't it concern Putin and the Russians and anybody to the north there?
	It would concern them.
	And so the enemy of my enemy is my friend in certain times.
	I've had to partner up with Taliban forces in the past that were not as extreme because they were getting plowed by the extremists.
	And so sometimes you have to make a loose affiliation with these.
	But right now, our Our populace is so sold on, you know, oh, poor Ukraine.
	And I got it.
	Anybody in the field that's a civilian that's innocent, I feel bad for them.
	Sure.
	But these Azov Battalion rascals, these dudes come straight in the lineage of the Nazis.
	All right?
	That's just a cold, hard fact.
	You've got to study history to know these things.
	And the Azov Battalion has done their share of atrocities as well to false flag, if you will, some of the events that have taken place there.
	I'm sure the Russians are no prima donnas here.
	I mean, they probably have done their share, too.
	But I think they got what they wanted, which was the Donbass region and Lugan.
	I believe that they're going to hang on to that.
	I think they will...
	And they'll come to a stalemate.
	And then I pray that there's some sort of a ceasefire in an agreement.
	They seem to be reaching out across, you know, diplomatic lines.
	But I I don't know.
	Give me two weeks and I'll know more.
	Well, we do know that countries like Germany are tired of not having energy.
	That's for sure.
	The winter isn't even really here yet.
	So, you know, wait till January to see what kind of pressure that puts on them.
	But it seems to me that the Biden regime has always wanted a strong escalation, or at least the State Department that has been finagling a lot of this.
	They really hate Russia.
	I'm talking about the Victoria Nulands of the world, the Blinkens.
	They hate Russia.
	They want to destroy Russia.
	And it also seems like they need a big war globally in order to assert more power domestically, to have another big emergency.
	And also even potentially fiscally, to have another reason to print more money and prop up the markets a little bit longer by creating a global emergency.
	So what are your thoughts on that?
	Right, yeah.
	So in chaos ensues, you know, I mean, everything goes to a higher state of entropy, right?
	I mean, and that's what they seem to thrive on is just throw more chaos at it, declare more emergencies.
	Yes, you're absolutely right.
	You know, the printing with the Fed, printing of money, the fiat currency is basically valueless, truly, if somebody called our marker right now on this thing.
	And it really sets us up for a fall.
	And you had some eloquent discussion with Michael Yon on famine.
	And I started reading more books on it because Michael was like, read this, read this.
	I got like six more books I'm going through.
	But truly, when we look back, it's almost like this was planned way back in the day.
	There was this Agricultural Adjustment Act.
	This is 1938 under Roosevelt and his New Deal.
	And when they started paying subsidies to farmers to not grow things in the United States when you thought there was abundance, right?
	And that whole thing was a facade.
	And it was based on an emergency.
	That's their key term.
	Emergency.
	Anytime you see that.
	Or sustainable development.
	When you see these key words, these are scary words.
	Run.
	Okay?
	And now what are they doing with energy?
	We had a surplus.
	Now we don't.
	It's the same thing that they did with the...
	Where do you think this ends up here under the next two years of Biden or Democrat rule?
	I think a lot of our listeners believe that this election was very aggressively rigged.
	They stopped the counts, and then they print more ballots, whatever they need, to just barely pull out a victory.
	And so the Democrats, I mean, at this point, they may even take the House and...
	I mean, it's not over yet at this point, but it's all rigged.
	But where is this going in the next couple of years, in your view?
	Right.
	Okay.
	So, you know, I have to look at things just like I would if I was in any given country or any given time.
	And there's three different environments.
	You know, your atmospherics.
	I always look at atmospherics, the 40,000-foot view.
	And right now, you and I, we live, you know, in central Texas area or in Texas.
	And, you know, this is a permissive environment, right?
	Until you get to the border, then it's a semi-permissive environment.
	It, you know, possibly could be controlled by cartels.
	You go to a country like Jordan sitting next to Syria, that's a semi-permissive environment.
	You can go down the street of Amman, I've done it, and it's relatively safe, but you can also run around the corner and there's a car bomb.
	And then you go to places like Baghdad in 2004, and it's non-permissive.
	Or the Donbass region is non-permissive.
	So I have to think of them in those three scales.
	So where are we now?
	We're permissive, unless you're on the streets of Portland and Antifa shows up, then it's non-permissive.
	So these things can shift.
	And I think what we're going to see is in some of these big blue cities, we're going to see non-permissive environments that will ensue as people get in a corner.
	When the diesel runs out and you can't get your supplies to market, you've got to think about the second and third order effects of these.
	So then you roll into a non-permissive or semi-permissive environment, maybe sometimes based upon a street corner here and a couple blocks later, it's non-permissive.
	So you've got to think of your lines of effort or your pace plan, your primary alternate consistency emergency plans for each individual type environment.
	Where are we going to be in a couple years?
	I think we'll have pockets of free zones in America.
	And this is what I'm working on with groups doing neighborhood watch programs.
	Free zones.
	And then you'll have places like that that will be semi to non-permissive.
	And there will be civil war, so to speak.
	And it may not be the blue versus the gray, but the The desperate and the downtrodden being, you know, attacked, oppressed by those nefarious actors that I call brown shirts, but, you know, those Antifas or BLMs, those types.
	Wow, so you're talking about these operations becoming very, very localized.
	The granularity of it could be quite small.
	That is, once again, going on that scale of most likely course of action to most dangerous.
	That's the most likely.
	Most dangerous course of action?
	Somebody shuts off a power grid this winter in Texas and nobody can get anything anywhere and It makes it look like an EMP. You can do that.
	We've played that scenario.
	We've done that red cell on that, so to speak.
	Even in the military, we've looked at it.
	Not to do it, but to respond to it in the Texas military.
	We have to consider those things.
	That's the most dangerous side of it.
	But I still think the most likely is going to be those sporadic outlying bad areas and then the free zones, of which we're going to be trading and continuing life and creating our own parallel universe because we're going to have to.
	It's what we did in the old days.
	But also a factor in this is that any time it seems that a left-wing group If anyone commits violence domestically, even against civilians, they're going to be just let out of jail by the DAs.
	Whereas if any kind of a conservative group even dares to bear arms, just showing up and just kitted out or whatever, not even bearing the arms, just everything's holstered, they're going to be considered to be extremists and terrorists.
	And so it's almost as if self-defense is being criminalized in this country.
	Right.
	Yeah, you know, once again, it depends on where you're at.
	I went to dinner tonight, and, you know, I'm in a north-central Texas town, and there was probably five people with open carries sitting around me eating, and everybody was having a good time, lots of respect going on.
	Right.
	And, you know, that's where I'm at.
	You know, I kept mine concealed, but still, that's just this community.
	So, you know, I wouldn't try to do that in D.C. First of all, it's illegal.
	But, you know, but, yeah, that...
	And it's interesting how, you know, the worst cities in the country with regard to firearms murders and, I mean, stabbing for that matter.
	I mean, let's outlaw knives.
	Are some of these blue cities that have the most stringent laws.
	You know, I worked in D.C. for a while.
	You know, you get up in northeast D.C. and you can get shanked pretty quick.
	Oh, yeah.
	No kidding.
	But exploring this topic a little bit more.
	Mm-hmm.
	As the infrastructure failures kick in, food scarcity, grocery deliveries don't take place, diesel shortages, a breakdown of the rule of law, it's going to be exacerbated in these blue cities where there's been defunding of police and also where criminals have been let loose and back onto the streets repeatedly by these George Soros DAs.
	You're going to have, it seems to me, a lot of innocent but left-leaning civilians who find themselves in just a hell zone of crime that they did not anticipate what happened when they voted Democrat.
	But they're usually anti-gun people, too, so they're going to be completely defenseless.
	And I'm not mocking them.
	I feel sorry for them.
	But that's the reality, isn't it?
	Right, that is the reality.
	That's the innocence in all of this.
	And, you know, gosh, we've seen it all around the world.
	And it's heartbreaking at times, but, you know, it's just a fact of, I don't know if you want to call it armed combat or combat, but a different form of warfare.
	And this is fifth generation warfare, and it's so...
	So driven by media and so driven by digital influences.
	And then you throw in that lower level type warfare in the midst and it becomes so chaotic and people don't know what to do because they're watching their local news station.
	And I tell you, turn on a news station from Chicago sometime and watch what they're reporting on the ground there.
	And sometimes I do that just to see what their people are being told.
	And that's a disinformation campaign.
	Yeah.
	Well, let's talk about local solutions, though.
	So what can people do locally to organize in a way that is defensive and humanitarian and not like a vigilante group type of thing?
	Right, right.
	Yeah, this is my forte.
	I was the perfect guy for this situation at the time just because of the experiences as a doc and having that humanitarian situation.
	My dad was a small town doctor.
	He used to do house calls and drive around with me and I'd carry his bag.
	So I know what it's like to drive around and care for people and trade out for services.
	And that's kind of what I'm looking at will end up happening.
	But first of all, a lot of this sounds like doom and gloom and people listening.
	I always get at the end, what can we do?
	I'll tell you what you can do.
	There's a rule of chaos that, you know, when you want to control it, you can't control it.
	And so you control the controllables.
	If you're a pilot or if you jump out of planes for a living like me, when you have an emergency procedure or you have an emergency, you go to an emergency procedure and you control the controllables.
	I've been spinning through the air, tumbling through the air at night with a 115 pound ruck on with a shoot malfunction and pulled out of it and thank the Lord was able to land it because of my training and experience of doing it and say, hey, control the first thing and then the second thing.
	So that's number one The other thing is is a you know, I have a military working dog.
	His name is Joe and And this guy is the most high speed creature on the planet when it comes to looking for work and we call it look for work.
	So look for work.
	That's part of this is look for things to do because it's not just about doing your job, coming home and then sitting on the couch and then not shoring up your foxhole, so to speak.
	You've got to shore up your own stockpiles.
	You've got to meet your neighbors.
	You've got to go out and start talking to people.
	And then when you start talking to people, you find people of like mind.
	And this is what I do.
	It's called networking.
	And you say, hey, let's go and start a neighborhood watch program.
	This is legal.
	You go to your sheriff or police department and you register as a neighborhood watch program.
	And this is what we've done now in a few different Texas regions and into Oklahoma and into the nations with the Indian tribes.
	And people get together based upon their skill sets.
	We're not talking about, you know, everybody's got to have a gun and let's go out and practice on the range because that's not what this is about.
	Because this will come in handy way sooner for the next hurricane, the next snowstorm, next tornado in Tornado Alley up in the Panhandle.
	You know, this town may have to go and react to that town.
	That's where I grew up, and that's what you do.
	When the tornado squashes your neighbor's town, you go over there and you help them.
	But you can't do it if you're not organized.
	And that's why I say get organized, because these humanitarian things are going to be 90% of what you do.
	And God forbid that somebody shows up in your neighborhood and wants to take advantage or to oppress your neighbors and start running through, run amok, if you will.
	Then at that point, you're going to have to assist law enforcement because you may become your own 911.
	Sure.
	And that's where training comes in and those kind of things.
	But not everybody can do that.
	But everybody can do something on the humanitarian side and help network these things.
	Be a lookout.
	What I love about the Neighborhood Watch Program concept, and I'm really glad you're pursuing this, is number one, you can distribute radio equipment and get people used to communicating on radios.
	And it doesn't seem like paramilitary or whatever.
	It's just a backup comms system.
	If the grid goes down, if the cell towers go down, which happened in Texas last year, just having radios.
	And then once you know how to talk to each other on radios and how to just choose frequencies and radio etiquette and so on, and understanding ranges and power levels of transmission power and so on, you can layer in other types of responses on top of that infrastructure.
	Sure.
	Oh, yes.
	I'm going back to a meeting Thursday night down in Central Texas, a little further south, to one that was started down there, and I had to leave, and so somebody else took the reins, and luckily, two Green Berets are on that neighborhood watch program.
	Retired guys.
	And Michael Yon is going to be down there helping us out.
	But they have meetings, I believe, once every other week.
	And they have a comms guy that comes in.
	And he knows about ham radios.
	He knows about this.
	So you think about him as like your central command, if you will, of communications out to the networks.
	And he has a repeater.
	And so he can link people up.
	And he's helping them out of the goodness of his heart to do this stuff.
	He's a retired Air Force guy.
	And so you see this network, and then you've got these little old ladies who can't do much, and they show up to these meetings.
	You've got an 85-year-old lady.
	Last time I was talking to her down there at this meeting, and she's like, well, I can bring preserves.
	Okay.
	Sounds good.
	Everybody's got to eat, you know?
	Right?
	Right.
	I love it.
	That's right.
	Everybody can contribute in one way or another.
	And, and by the way, you know, you give her like a thermal night vision monocular and she can look through it, you know?
	That's right.
	Well, and the thing is, you know, that she exists too.
	And this is the beautiful thing about neighborhoods is you, some people live in neighborhoods their whole lives and don't even know who's down the street.
	But when you do and something happens, like we had that big winter storm.
	I mean, I was, you know, in the National Guard, so I was driving around responding and doing house calls.
	But, but, you know, people would say, hey, there's this old lady who lives down the road.
	Can you go check on her?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, that's what you do.
	This is, you know, this is love.
	I mean, that's what you do.
	You know, you love your others like you'd love yourself.
	This is a mandate.
	I've always said, look, 39 years of wearing a uniform, I always search for what's the truest virtue of a warrior.
	And I thought when I was a young paratrooper, oh, it's about sticking people in the belly with a bayonet.
	No, no, it ain't about that.
	It's about getting medals.
	No, it ain't about that.
	You know what it's about?
	It's about love.
	It's about love for your fellow soldiers and the people behind you that you're protecting.
	And you don't operate out of hate with the enemy.
	That's taking care of business.
	That's a different thing.
	But I'm talking about love.
	And it took me a while to figure that one out.
	But it's great when you operate in that maturity level or that tactical maturity level.
	Well, big picture question for you then on all of this.
	What's your sense of...
	Of America making it through these challenges, and we've covered quite a few of them here, and we may possibly be in a war.
	We may be invaded.
	I mean, there might be an invasion happening right now.
	Do you have faith that the American spirit, the American philosophy, the American people are resilient enough to make it through this?
	Yeah.
	There's a saying from 480 BC, and a Spartan said it about his fellow Spartans.
	Out of 100 soldiers, 10 shouldn't even be here.
	80 are nothing but targets.
	And 9 they the battle make.
	And the 1 is a leader, and he'll lead the others back.
	Those numbers haven't changed for me, at least from 1983 on.
	We still have those in the ranks of the military.
	If something were to happen to the United States where we were attacked...
	And it truly was a real invasion of our country.
	God help us.
	There's just not enough people that are enlightened enough to see what's going on around them.
	Because they're so caught up in less than a meter in front of their face, the phone that sits in front of them.
	And so caught up in what is Oprah going to say and The View going to say.
	So caught up in such trivial things.
	And I got it.
	I'm...
	You know, I'm an ultra alpha and my job is to protect.
	I'm a sheepdog.
	So I might not think like them, but you got to have a little bit of that.
	You got to have a little bit.
	And if you don't, I just, God help them.
	And I hope there's enough of us out there that can.
	Well, I feel like I need to push you to answer the question in a little more detail on this.
	I hope you don't mind me saying, but can America, do we have enough of those good people to overcome and then to restore or to refound America?
	Because I think a lot of our listeners believe that America has been lost.
	Especially with the rigged elections and, you know, the coming collapse of the dollar and so on.
	But the culture too, the culture has become so demonic in many ways.
	And this open acceptance of genital mutilation of children, pedophilia and all this.
	It's, you know, a lot of people feel hopeless, but then you talk to really great people and that American spirit is not lost at all.
	Right.
	Straight up, yeah, straight up Pete Chambers from my heart.
	Yeah.
	I know that the communities that I talk to will have a higher chance of survival and that listen and that train.
	And that not only train, you know, when I say train, because I'm a Greenberry or whatever, don't think that I mean anything about being offensive to any...
	What I'm talking about is train to survive.
	What I'm talking about is train to be a good neighbor.
	Those areas have a higher chance.
	There are some areas in this country, though, that will have no chance whatsoever.
	And I've spent time in those cities and it will just I saw what happened because because I saw what happened.
	I saw what happened in the border of Syria and Jordan when 70,000 refugees showed up at a refugee camp.
	I saw how people turned on each other and I saw at Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans As a soldier, they're responding to it.
	What people did in those communities in a hurricane, and they knew there was an end to this.
	It was a temporal thing.
	But what concerns me is humanity, when you've been subjected to the dark side that has been over our nation for so long.
	You know, I could get real scripture and real biblical here, but I'm going to stay off a lot of that.
	But I'm a believer and I believe That we need to take a knee.
	We need to, you know, repent.
	But that's just not happening quick enough.
	And I just pray that there's some, and I know there is mercy, but that on our nation, as a nation, that we survive this.
	Because there will be pockets that do.
	But I know for a fact in those big cities, and I hope this is clear enough to you, that they won't.
	So you, if I could paraphrase, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you're observing a set of conditions that exist in many of these blue cities that are only sort of one tipping point away from devolving or collapsing into some of the worst case scenarios that you've observed in overseas scenarios?
	Overseas and stateside, you know, in different places.
	But I saw other places along the border, down to Mississippi, all the way from Louisiana, that communities came together.
	I don't know what it is.
	There's a certain feeling when you walk into certain places of the brotherly love that's there or not.
	I know that's kind of a huggy-feely, kind of touchy-feely phrase, but there's just a certain feeling that I can sense that there's not a lot of love there.
	And when you see that, you think, what's gonna happen when you add the ingredient of chaos to it?
	And that ingredient does some weird things to people.
	Yeah, you're absolutely correct.
	I mean, think about after Hurricane Katrina, then we saw New Orleans very quickly devolve into, well, people looting and even in some cases killing or violently attacking each other.
	Yeah, chaos.
	Real chaos.
	I mean, people, dead bodies floating down the streams.
	People abandoned because they were in a wheelchair or they had a medical need, like diabetics couldn't get insulin and so on.
	And those were the same people that the week before you might have met in the line at the grocery store, and they would have been perfectly polite.
	Right, yeah.
	I don't know.
	So that's what I feel, you know, and it really depends on who it is that's attacking us, because right now there are no uniforms involved.
	We are under attack.
	Don't think we're not.
	We are under attack currently.
	It's just there's no visible uniforms.
	Yes.
	And the actors are not armies but evil narcissists that are using their political and financial wherewithal in the wrong way.
	And they'll have to, you know, stand judgment for that, you know.
	But God, I pray we can turn this around.
	But I think before people get enlightened or wake up, and I don't talk about wokeism, but I talk about waking up or being enlightened, to find true discernment, it's got to get harder before it happens.
	Yeah, seems so.
	Now, let me just ask you as we're wrapping this up, if people go to your website, drpetechambers.com, so drpetechambers.com, and you've got links to Telegram and other things.
	If people follow you, what are they going to receive from you?
	What's your focus day to day?
	So my focus with that website, the only reason I created it was so that when I'm out on the road, because I'm literally on the road Just about every other day driving me and my dog to go meet with people.
	What I had was a repository for information so that if it's a line of effort that aligns with something you're interested in, you can go to that site, go to my lines of effort, and you can see, is this about famine?
	Is this about 5G? Is this about the shots?
	Is this about radiation exposure?
	Is this about legislation?
	Inform consent.
	All the things that I've done in my last part of my career really, it's all kind of come together and I put it there so people could look at it and I could talk to them.
	But then you can also network with me and you can get on there and send me an email.
	It takes me a little while to catch up with them all.
	But I do answer them, and I want to be able to network with people of like mind so that we can find those communities out there that are needing that help.
	Or I can put them in contact with other networks just like me.
	They're not all military people.
	You don't have to be a military person.
	I mean, look at yourself.
	You've done some amazing things for communities around the world, I'd say.
	And it doesn't require any day in uniform.
	What it requires is the right heart and the right mind and training.
	So yeah, that's it.
	It's just that's the place for me to communicate and to share and then hopefully meet some folks along the way that are like-minded and we can do what we call force multiply.
	When you force multiply, that's what we do.
	That's what makes us so effective.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Well said.
	I really love your approach and your philosophy, and I'll share with you, when I was in high school trying to figure out whether to go to college or what to do, I did take a series of tests with the United States Marine Corps, and they invited me to join the officer training school with the U.S. Marines, but I decided to take some scholarships and go to university instead.
	They wanted me in the officer school, so who knows?
	In a different universe, I could have gone that way.
	Yeah, you know, and we all end up where we're at, and people say stuff to me all the time.
	I'm like, look, God put you where you are for a reason.
	I mean, I didn't plan on being in for 39 years total with all the active guard reserve, but 9-11 happened, I came back, and there you go.
	I mean, I'm still going because I love the people that I work with, and And every one of them is like family to me.
	And now what they're doing is just, it's killing me.
	It's breaking my heart, but I've got to continue the fight.
	That's why I'm still doing, you know, fat witness work in different court cases and things like that so that I can help.
	And I don't take a dime for it.
	I don't, you know, people think, oh, you've got to be making all kinds of money.
	I'm like, bro, you have no idea.
	I'm selling cattle so that I can put some diesel in this because it's $5 a gallon in some places.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, I know exactly what you're talking about.
	And we appreciate you.
	And, you know, I just want to say God bless you on behalf of our audience and for all the work that you do.
	And there are many things we didn't have time to get into, but you're working behind the scenes in a lot of ways that I'm aware of that are really profound.
	So thank you for all that you're doing.
	Yes, sir.
	You're worth it.
	Well, you know, humanity.
	We're all in this fight for humanity, and that's what matters in the end.
	And just to work in alignment with God in any way that we possibly can.
	So I just want to say thank you, and I just want to invite the audience to visit your website, drpetechambers.com.
	That's drpetechambers.com.
	And, Doc, it's an honor to know you, an honor to be able to visit with you here, and I hope that we get a chance to do this again soon.
	I'm sure we will.
	All right.
	Well, thank you so much.
	God bless you.
	Take care, sir.
	You too.
	Now, just stand by for a minute.
	For those listening, just want to say thank you and feel free to repost this interview as usual on your own channels or other platforms.
	And thank you for tuning in.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, a platform I built so that we can have interviews just like this.
	So thank you for listening.
	God bless you all.
	Take care.
	Alright, what an amazing American.
	Dr.
	Pete Chambers, just an incredible individual.
	I'm very honored to know him.
	And he is a solutions-oriented guy.
	And as you can tell, he's very spiritual.
	He's got a great big heart.
	He wants to help people in every way possible.
	I love his approach and his philosophy to life.
	I'd love to help that guy in any way I can.
	I tell you what, I'm just so impressed with some of the people I've been able to meet in doing this.
	And Doc Pete Chambers is certainly one of them.
	Just amazing.
	All right, now, with that said, then, we're going to introduce another amazing individual here, John Perez.
	Now, I want you to understand, I did this interview with him as I was hosting the Sunday night show on Infowars.com.
	So you're going to hear me refer to Infowars in this interview.
	That's because I was hosting that.
	But I wanted to include that entire interview right here so that you can get the gist of this.
	I was going to talk about all this stuff anyway, but thanks to John Perez, we were able to do it there.
	Now, John Perez, his audio was a little weak because he had to join by phone.
	He was having some audio trouble in his studio.
	Which has since been worked out, by the way.
	But he joined by phone, so we're going to try to boost up his phone level as much as we can.
	But you might have to turn this up a little bit to hear the whole thing.
	Anyway, we have a really great discussion for you here with John Perez, also who I call Crypto Nostradamus, by the way.
	I'm the one who gave him that name, it turns out.
	And it has stuck because he's called it correctly again and again.
	But here we go.
	That's a really interesting interview, and I think it's like a little under 30 minutes in duration.
	And I'm going to wrap this up right now, give my voice a little bit of a rest, so I won't add anything else after that.
	But thank you for listening today.
	Thank you for all your support.
	I'll be with you tomorrow, of course, with another update.
	We'll see what happens.
	It's going to be another crazy day.
	But at least, hey, at least we're here, right?
	At least something big hasn't broken yet.
	Well, the elections did.
	They were rigged.
	But we haven't had a massive false flag.
	We haven't had nuclear terrorism.
	The power grid's still working.
	You know, let's count our blessings to the extent that we can.
	Let's keep working with what we have.
	Okay?
	So, here we go.
	Interview with John Perez.
	Now we bring on John Perez to join us.
	Silver is money.
	That's one of your slogans.
	John, welcome to the show.
	It's great to have you on.
	Oh, great to be on, Mike.
	Great to be on.
	I am just Amazing what we're seeing.
	You guys are doing a great job of covering this, and you've been on top of this since November, December of 2021, and now it is unfolding before our eyes.
	It's amazing.
	Yeah, now, people who haven't seen some of our previous work together, I just want to summarize it.
	You've been very pessimistic about the long-term pricing or value of Bitcoin because you've seen a lot of vulnerabilities and a lot of people were skeptical of what you were saying.
	You know, they said like you were doom and gloom on this.
	But the reason I wanted to bring you on tonight is because what you pointed out is exactly, exactly what just happened.
	So can you give us your 50,000-foot view of what just happened and what it means?
	Yeah I mean well it's what's important to note here is that this no one's talking about this prior to uh sam bankman fried being the ceo of fbx he was the ceo of tether very important this goes back to our original conversations regarding bitcoin and evergrande so that being said tether kind of Faded off in the background, and suddenly FTX is doing what I thought Tether would do.
	So there's a connection there that the story's not completely covering here, but now we're starting to see everything come to roost with the fact that crypto never had any...
	There's so much counterparty risk there.
	I mean, it's a cascade of events coming down.
	You know, I'm a gold and silver guy.
	I'm a precious metals, honest money guy.
	I always had questions about crypto.
	And it was last year that I started with the crypto conspiracy with David Morgan, who introduced me to you.
	And now we fast forward here.
	And now we see, we literally are watching the crypto apocalypse.
	This is the crypto apocalypse.
	And it's heading down.
	And what really surprised me, that shocked me more than anything, was the fact that FTX was the second largest donor to the Biden administration, as well as a big donor to the Ukrainian military operation.
	So now we're looking at some very, very serious topics here involved with Bitcoin and crypto that is taking things to a completely different level here.
	As doom and gloom as I was, I could never have predicted such a catastrophic meltdown that's happening in crypto today right now.
	Yeah, I would add, John, that you and I were talking about stablecoins before, and the Evergrande Ponzi scheme, the property developer Ponzi scheme unraveling in China, which is still ongoing, and a lot of counterparty risk due to that.
	But one of the things that we need to tell our audience about here is that, you know, you and I always knew that these crypto exchanges that were offering these crazy high earnings that would say, okay, if you stake your coins on our exchange, we'll pay you 10%, 15%, 20%, you know, quote, interest on just leaving your coins here.
	And, you know, you and I always wonder, well, where's that money coming from?
	Because that doesn't make any sense, because crypto doesn't actually earn anything itself intrinsically.
	But it turns out some of those exchanges were taking those deposits by customers, and then they were pushing them somewhere else, like kind of what happened with Alameda Research and FTX, to make, in essence, riskier bets.
	40%, I've heard 50% returns being talked about in this space.
	And then when those turned against them for all kinds of reasons, but mostly related to arrogance and lack of experience in fiscal matters, and not understanding systemic risk, then those collapsed and then it began to unwind through the entire system, leading to these exchanges right now not having then those collapsed and then it began to unwind through the entire system, leading to these exchanges right now not having billions of Is that an accurate assessment of where we are, you think?
	Exactly right.
	In fact, Friday, I got a direct message from one of the people in our group on Silver's Money, and he says, John, I've got money in BlockFi, and I'm wondering, what do you think is going to happen to my money?
	And I said, that's a good question.
	I did one search, and literally eight hours earlier, BlockFi announced that they're suspending withdrawals.
	I believe we're going to see suspended withdrawals across the board.
	But I think there's another thing that's important to note, is that about three, four months ago, there was some regulation that came out to where the exchanges were saying that the assets That they have on hold, on deposit, would be considered their property, their asset.
	Therefore, if there's any freeze, they're going to be basically claiming your crypto assets as theirs.
	This now goes even farther because there's a lot of people saying, well, don't keep your money on the exchanges.
	These exchanges are going to be shut down.
	And when you go to cash out, you're not going to be able to get out.
	There's just simply no way out.
	And now the thing that's so sorry to interrupt.
	The thing is so frustrating about this is that a lot of crypto was overhyped and it was promoted with the idea that this was safer than your fiat currency banks because the banks could have bail ins, which is exactly what you just described.
	John.
	These are crypto bail-ins at the exchanges where your deposits suddenly become their assets as part of the bankruptcy proceedings.
	So, you know, I mean, the dollar-driven banks have not collapsed yet, although the dollar is essentially looting 2% of your purchasing power each and every month.
	But the crypto collapse happened first, before the dollar collapsed in this case.
	Well, yeah, and you know, you can imagine Powell and Yellen are probably just like jumping up and down.
	Says, this is great.
	Crypto's collapsing.
	We look good right now.
	We're the cleanest dirty shirt in the room.
	And you know, oh, look at crypto over there.
	Yellen, I expect Yellen to come in and put the regulation hammer down, which I had predicted that they would do it.
	In order to clear the way what I believe is going to be the central bank digital coin or some other coin out there that's being promoted here, we're going to see some interesting things here.
	Because right now, Yellen now can just come out and say, we are going to come out and protect you, like Maxine Waters did with the Consumer Financial Bureau, and we're going to regulate this.
	Chances are they're going to clear the way for some sort of central bank digital coin.
	We're going through the classic Hegelian dialect, problem, reaction, and solution.
	Well, I would say they have their regulations ready to pounce because just like with 9-11, they had the expansion of the Patriot Act ready to go.
	Like, boom, within two weeks.
	Oh, here, sign this while everybody's angry.
	And then, you know, everybody's willing to give up all their rights and just have surveillance of the American people.
	So, boom, here we go.
	Well, right now, this is the perfect storm, again, that was engineered for...
	For heavy regulation, you know they have those regulations ready to go.
	And my question to you, Mr.
	Perez, is what really is the value of Bitcoin or other cryptos in an environment where they're practically outlawed by heavy regulation by the United States government?
	You know, what does that mean for the value of these coins?
	I think crypto is worth zero until further notice.
	And one of my predictions earlier is I said that crypto and all the exchanges would all fall under the laws of the FDIC bank laws and they'd have to show that there's value backing what they have.
	Well, either they have nothing or they're going to go out and be forced to do what?
	Back their currency.
	Well, if they go along the Basel guidelines, they're going to have to go out and buy gold or silver or some equivalent assets and put it back.
	Highly unlikely here that anybody's going to get much back here We're looking at, during the bail-ins in Spain and Europe and Greece, the investors there, the pensioners, they only got 5% of their money back, and it was stocked in the banks.
	So I think the crypto area here, with the crypto bail-ins happening right now, I don't think...
	Investors should expect anything more than 5%, 10% of what they've got in the market, if they even get that, because it's unregulated and uninsured.
	At least the bail-ins in these international banks, there was some sort of protection here.
	Here, it's unregulated.
	It's just simply unregulated.
	There's nothing there.
	There's no net there.
	And these people are running off, flying around, going everywhere, as if it's open season.
	If this was an FDIC bank, these guys would be under arrest and secured already.
	The audits that are taking place, at least some of them, are truly a clown show because, and this came out in the last 24 hours, it turns out that a couple of weeks ago, Crypto.com had transferred something like 300,000 ETH coins over to another exchange called Gate.io.
	And then Gate.io used those coins for a couple of days to prove its deposits.
	And then Gate.io transferred back most of those coins, you know, back to Crypto.com.
	And this became public just over the weekend.
	And a lot of users came out and said, whoa, what's going on?
	Crypto.com officially said, this is their official explanation.
	They said, whoops, we accidentally transferred $400 million to the wrong address.
	You know, $400 million worth of ETH, and then a couple days later, they sent most of it back to us, so it's all good.
	And everybody's heads are exploding, thinking, wait a second, number one, that's user deposits, that's like user coins, and you accidentally sent $400 million worth of users ETH coins to somewhere that you didn't, that was a mistake?
	That could have been North Korea or something.
	And then, this is the explanation you're just trying to pass off to us?
	And what it looks like to me, John Perez, is that many different exchanges are sharing the same deposits to try to prove that they have assets just in time for the audits, and then those assets are passed along to somebody else.
	In other words, it's a freaking clown show, John.
	It's a clown show that would be highly illegal in the banking industry if somebody tried to pull this kind of clown show there.
	What do you think?
	Well, we've seen this before, Mike.
	During the housing bubble back in 2000, 2004, 2005, 2006, it was, we had liar loans and stated income loans where basically you come in there and say, how much money do you have?
	I have this much.
	Well, This looks familiar.
	This looks like the end of the financial bubble in real estate, where it's like, how much money do you have in your bank to show that you have an evaluation?
	Well, let me call my friend.
	Will you deposit some crypto in my account?
	Put it in there, and all of a sudden, I've got this asset here.
	They're done with their paperwork.
	The asset moves to somewhere else.
	I mean, these guys are playing musical chairs on the Titanic with money in each person's account, and they did the same thing in real estate.
	People would come, you know, people would borrow money from someone else, Get qualified for the loan.
	As soon as the money came in, poof, the money would vanish and go to the next person.
	And there were operations doing this consistently.
	And it appears to me like the crypto community has basically adopted what happened in the housing debacle here.
	In an area that's unregulated, which is just, you know, there's just simply going to be no recourse, no feedback coming in.
	But I'll tell you what, the American people and people around the world, they're going to have to demand, they're going to demand payback.
	And you know, with the way the banking system, the Wall Street, everything is looking right now, they literally have the perfect scapegoat John Perez, just hold on there.
	Sorry to interrupt.
	We're going to take a short break here, but we're going to be back with John Perez on the other side of this.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	This is the second hour of the Sunday Night Broadcast here on Infowars.com and Band.Video.
	We'll be right back after these short messages.
	All right, Mike Adams here continuing with our guest, John Perez, and we're talking, of course, about what I'm calling the 9-11 of the crypto space, the controlled demolition of the, what, Sam Bankman fraud, the crypto exchange, in order to try to discredit the entire industry and bring in heavy, heavy government regulation.
	Now, I want to start out this segment before we bring our guests back.
	To give some credit to those who I think have achieved a lot of positive things in this space and those who may survive all of this fallout that's taking place.
	And just as a disclaimer, I should tell you, I don't currently own any Bitcoin whatsoever and actually no other coins either.
	I mean, I might have a couple of like $10 sitting around somewhere that I forgot to move.
	I have a few wallets at different places and nothing in them just because I don't...
	I've never been a crypto speculator, but I did always make sure that I knew how to use it, and I've used Monero, and I've used Bitcoin, and so on.
	We used to accept Bitcoin as well while that tool existed.
	So that's just a disclaimer, okay?
	So nobody is paying me, no one's sponsoring me, because I'm going to say some nice things about some of the companies that are out there.
	And I think, for example, I think Ripple and XRP, I think they've solved a lot of transactional problems.
	And I think that Ripple could play a major role in the rebirth of a decentralized global transactional clearinghouse system.
	And it could be backed by something real.
	Eventually, it could be backed by gold or commodities.
	And so I think that the dollar is going to collapse, in my opinion, at some point.
	A lot of players in the crypto space are going to collapse.
	But there are some real gems to be found that are contenders, I think, for long-term solutions for humanity.
	Because if we could have an honest money system that's not the central banks and not the dollar and not something that's just losing value month after month, then, frankly, billions of human beings could become quite wealthy just by being able to keep what they earn.
	What a concept!
	And coins like XRP or the Ripple Company...
	Could have a major role to play in that.
	I also think that Ethereum is run by some very, very smart people.
	And of course, you know, there's smart contracts and they've moved over to a proof of stake consensus system for their blockchain decision making and so on.
	I think that's very smart.
	It's very forward looking.
	I think that Ethereum also has a strong future in one way or another, even though it's going to get hit by all the regulations that are coming down.
	In terms of crypto exchanges, and I know this is controversial, but who cares?
	I'm going to say it anyway.
	I think that CZ, the CEO of Binance, and his Chinese name is Changpeng Zhao, I think he's the adult in the room.
	I think that he's definitely one of the smartest guys in the room.
	And did he bring down Sam Bateman fraud?
	Yeah, probably, with just a couple of tweets.
	Is he now potentially bringing down, or trying to bring down, maybe trying to cause a bank run on crypto.com?
	Possibly so.
	But CZ is not a lightweight.
	And if anybody's going to survive this, I would put my money on Binance.
	I mean, I don't even have a Binance account, but And I'm not encouraging you to put money in Binance.
	I'm just saying that if I were a betting person on this, I would think that Binance is going to be the last folks standing or among the very last standing as a lot of the others get kind of burned out of this system.
	So I just want to give credit where credit is due.
	There's a lot of good people in the crypto space, but there were also a lot of fraudsters, a lot of people that got really, really greedy, a lot of bad faith in the system as well, and then that created vulnerabilities that we're now seeing Causing the whole system to come tumbling down, or at least parts of it.
	So that's my summary.
	Now, John Perez joins us.
	Welcome back, John.
	Were you able to catch any of that there that I mentioned?
	Yeah, and I agree with you 100% regarding Binance and CC. I mean, they are the elephant in the room.
	And without a doubt, they are the powerhouse.
	I mean, they are the world's largest Exchange, and also they're world's largest.
	They've got a lot of support for a lot of government entities, and I agree with you.
	They definitely lit the light off.
	I mean, the minute they said no dice on FTX, that pretty much kind of set the tone here that, I mean, this was very similar to...
	What Binance and FTX is is pretty similar to what Elon and Twitter was.
	You've got just major powerhouses going out of here, which is a distraction for many other things.
	But I agree with you there with Binance being the big boy in the room.
	I think it's also interesting that, you know, Binance and CZ there, he wants to work with Elon Musk at Twitter, and he's not afraid of the fact that Twitter is sort of leaning towards becoming obviously more accepting of conservative speech or, you know, pro-America, pro-liberty speech.
	And CZ, even though he is a Chinese-Canadian, You know, in terms of his ethnicity and nationality, he has publicly stated that he believes that the freedom of money can only be fully expressed through the freedom of speech.
	In other words, you know, you can't have freedom of transactions, you can't have a libertarian approach to money unless you are also free to speak.
	And I find that incredibly interesting coming from somebody who was born in communist China, but obviously is no longer, you know, beholden to all of those rules.
	Now, I don't claim to back up everything that CZ has ever said, and I know opinions vary widely.
	But in my opinion, somebody who's willing to work with Elon Musk right now and perhaps become a transactional overlay onto the Twitter platform where a lot of conservative speech is going to be hosted.
	And, hey, maybe one day Twitter will let me back on, too.
	You never know.
	Then in my book, I think that these guys deserve a lot of credit for being willing to do that.
	And I can tell you, from reading up on the philosophy of Binance, they would never pull the shenanigans that Sam Bankman just pulled off.
	Binance is not going to take user funds and just go toss them to their college buddies somewhere and say, here, play with this and try not to lose it.
	I don't think that's going to happen with CZ. That's my opinion.
	But what's your take on it?
	I agree with you there.
	I mean, CZ's got a background.
	I think prior to this, I think he worked with Google, but he's been around for a long time, and he's working in many nations, and he's operating at a level here where CZ's, you've got the adult in the room.
	The FTX, basically, you had what almost appears to be a participation economy model, where it's like, if you just jump in, you're going to be a billionaire, but there's nothing backing it.
	And then when CZ basically said no dice to FTX. It's not...
	FTX didn't collapse because of CZ. FTX was collapsed before CZ showed up.
	I think CZ just basically shed the light on, you know, basically a policy scheme.
	You know, people just finally looked at it because once CZ said no, people asked the questions.
	But many of us in the community here, especially in the Silver Gold community, who are researching this stuff...
	I mean, I talked about Sam Bankman's pride back in November and December of 2021, and early the first quarter of 2022, I said, How is this guy able to be a billionaire when there's nothing backing this stuff?
	And, of course, everyone says, oh, you know, crypto is the future.
	You know, get rid of gold.
	Get rid of silver here.
	This is the future.
	We're all going to do this.
	And here they, you know, they use Tom Brady to pump up crypto, Tom Brady to promote FTX. These promoters are going to have big problems here, and I believe it was Jordan Belfort did a video.
	He talked about the different laws of the DOJ. I think that there's going to be big problems in follow-up, and there are new fallback laws that have been issued, too.
	I think there's going to be big problems with the promoters out there, all the YouTubers, and also one other piece here that no one's talked about.
	I talked about this in January and February.
	The U.S. military is monitoring and following all these Bitcoin and crypto people.
	They've been trained to do this.
	And to go one step farther, in my original conversation with you, I said I believe that there was a sting operation going on and that they were observing this.
	So I think there's more to come here, there's more shoes to drop, and there's some big hammers coming here.
	And I don't think people are going to be able to...
	Look, these guys went online and were promoting this stuff, made millions of dollars on YouTube, and now they're just going to walk away in an unregulated environment.
	I don't think people are going to get away because the people that were promoting and made millions, they're not part of the George Carlin big club.
	In other words, these guys are perfect fall guys.
	Kids, like, Frank Friedman is just a child.
	Look to his parents.
	Now you look at all these people on YouTube, their pedigree is not Wall Street politically connected.
	So I think we're going to see the system go after fall guys.
	And they're going to be looking for heads to roll.
	Because when they come after these people, we're going to say, well, we've got the bad guys over here.
	And of course, Wall Street, they didn't roll the markets over with a big multi-billion dollar crypto catastrophe here.
	Yeah, and I do want to...
	John, I want to give you credit, too, and also just kind of a message to those watching who are on the younger side.
	I mean, I'm in my 50s, and I don't know how old you are, John, but your chronological age is higher than you look because you're really healthy and fit.
	But we've been around long enough to have lived through crashes, right?
	And that's how you gain wisdom.
	And one of the things, you know, we've got to be honest, one of the things that was really annoying about the whole crypto hype was a lot of these really young people, you know, often in their 20s, saying, oh, you old guys don't know anything.
	Gold and silver is over.
	You've got to jump on this bandwagon because they thought they were all going to be billionaires and never have to work like an honest job in their lives because they were just going to make money off crypto forever.
	And, you know, you and I never bought into that, nor did Alex Jones or anybody who's old enough to have seen the dot-com crash or the subprime mortgage collapse or other shenanigans that went on.
	So, you know, wisdom, folks, it counts.
	And wisdom is earned the hard way.
	And right now, there's a lot of people paying a very high price for wisdom because they just got, you know, tanked.
	And now they're learning the hard way.
	But go ahead.
	Yeah, you know, well, I'm 61, and I remember being a child.
	I mean, I remember being six, seven years old and being taken by the hand to go look at real estate.
	I've been through all the bubbles, the 87 bubble.
	You know, I got into gold and silver professionally in 2005, 2006.
	I've managed tens of millions of dollars in silver mining stocks.
	I've made people millionaires.
	And I'll tell you this, it's hard work.
	It's hard work.
	Unfortunately, I'm very sympathetic.
	To kids that kind of grew up in their millennial age that were given participation awards to show up and win.
	I'm a firm believer in working hard, winning, working on competing to win.
	I want everyone to be successful.
	I want everyone, millennials, everyone to be successful.
	But you're going to have to work hard.
	You're going to have to work harder and smarter than everyone else.
	I'll never forget a comment that Rush Limbaugh made.
	I think it was 1990, 1991.
	He said, if you're not going to go to school, then self-educate yourself and prepare to compete against people with PhDs who have degrees in this sector here.
	That means you're going to have to work your butt off.
	You're going to have to use your brains.
	And there's nothing wrong with hard work.
	You've got to work hard and you've got to work smarter.
	You've got to do them both.
	And unfortunately, the crypto situation turned into a participation event where if you just showed up and hodled, you got rich.
	But, you know, it's like if you're going to be an endurance athlete, a successful endurance athlete, you've got to put the miles in.
	You've got to put the time in.
	And, of course, there was people I knew.
	So, well, you know, John Golden, Silver Suck.
	You know, you've got to be in crypto.
	And I said, you know, there's nothing there.
	You know, and Trump said it very well.
	Trump said, In a tweet, he tweeted out, he said, Bitcoin is made out of thin air.
	It's not money.
	Silver has been money throughout all of human history, and silver is the most undervalued asset in the world.
	Now, that's the president saying that.
	And now, all of a sudden, here we are.
	Now the thin air is coming out the past.
	And, you know, crypto refugees, millennials, welcome to reality here.
	This is great.
	We've all had our...
	I mean, I know in the money business, I've had my ass handed up to me.
	You know, you win, you lose.
	You win, you lose.
	But you keep with it.
	You don't quit.
	You're going to win in the long run.
	So my suggestion to all the people that suffer or hurt in this, don't let it stop you from continuing your pursuit.
	For winning and being successful in the business world and the financial world.
	Consider this a PhD in experience, in loss and failure.
	But remember, the desire was there.
	Because I've talked to so many millennials who are just dismayed about the situation.
	I'm like, dude, you can't stop, man.
	You've got to keep going.
	And we've all been through this.
	We went through the Silver Siob, the Silver Crash.
	And you keep going.
	You keep plowing on.
	You just got to keep going here.
	So my message to anyone who suffers from this is to not to get bitter, not to go through the, you know, not tighten up, close up.
	But that's what happens here in the money world.
	Been in the money game for a long time.
	My encouragement is to keep going.
	Keep going.
	Even if it looks like you come out a little bit, you got to keep going here.
	And I would say that the people who are the most successful over their lifetimes in terms of accumulating wealth are almost, in every case, people who have lost almost everything they had at one time or another, and they learned some really hard lessons that way, and then they gained it back.
	And I would encourage people to bring up the table of elements.
	In fact, to the producers, if you could pop in just a graphic of the table of elements, I want to point out something to you here.
	Gold and silver, AU and AG, are present on the table of elements.
	And just notice that the table of elements does not have any crypto coins on it.
	That's because these are elements of matter from which the universe is made, at least the 3D universe as we know it.
	So gold and silver are on the table of elements.
	And what it means is that they are immutable.
	So you can't transform gold into something else.
	You can't break it down.
	You can't melt it in your toaster.
	You can't microwave it away.
	It doesn't burn up in a house fire, and so on and so forth, right?
	So gold and silver, right?
	AU and AG.
	Now, what I want to point out right above that in the same column on the table of elements is copper.
	See you.
	Copper is a commodity that is in very high demand around the world right now.
	It is very valuable.
	And the reason I bring it up is because the future money system that looks like it's being formed by the BRICS plus nations, which includes China and Russia and, you know, eventually it's going to be the Saudis and Turkey and Iran and everybody else.
	I mean, eventually the U.S. will have to join it, too, but it's going to be based on a portfolio of things from this table of elements, by the way.
	It's going to be gold and silver and copper.
	It'll probably be aluminum.
	There might be also maybe some oil in there, hydrocarbons, but that's just based on H and C, which are elements right here in the table of elements.
	H is number one, and there's carbon right there.
	So, folks, I would say if you are disheartened By losses in FTX and crypto, start studying the table of elements because I guarantee you this is the future of wealth on our planet are the elements that make up commodities and hydrocarbons and precious metals.
	The table of elements is your key.
	Right back to you, John.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	For the fourth quarter of 2022, and I'm going to say all of 2023, Exploration mining stocks, gold and silver mining stocks will be the crypto for 2023.
	So people are going to see this.
	They'll learn it with time.
	They'll figure it out here.
	As J.P. Morgan said, gold is money.
	Everything else is just credit.
	Very important piece to hear.
	There's so much history here with gold and silver.
	There's no history behind crypto.
	The idea was great.
	I mean, the idea is great, but the problem is, it's like everything else.
	If the FDIC came into the crypto space and without this crash, they said, look, you need to show that this asset has something to back it if we're going to be getting into the...
	You want to be accepted in the institutional banking world.
	You know, what are you going to be backing your project with?
	But in the future here, in 2023, Exploration, mining stocks, penny stocks, and the gold silver.
	That is going to be the new crypto.
	It's going to happen.
	Bitcoin is going to go to 4200.
	We've got bigger problems ahead.
	Gold and silver are money.
	I mean, that's all there is to it.
	And it's proving that right now.
	The argument against gold and silver and precious metals was that crypto was the future.
	Now that things are turning over, gold and silver will be in the limelight.
	I expect a big move here.
	I expect people to finally come to the senses and realize we got to go back to work.
	Stocks overpriced.
	Housing off the cliff.
	Auto loan bubble, treasuries, no way, no interest.
	Very few places to go.
	And we're at that point now where I believe that the crypto space It's going to trigger more and more and more dominoes.
	It's going to hit the banking industry here.
	And eventually, this stock market in the bank is going to roll over.
	And there's going to be no place to go except, like you said, where are the bricks going?
	They're going to gold.
	There's gold-back ruble.
	The number one performing currency in 2022 is the gold-back ruble.
	I believe we're going to see a Chinese-back yuan, a gold-back yuan here pretty soon.
	We've got the bricks coming in.
	We're going to see gold, oil, everything that's real, commodities, things that you can touch and feel are coming to the forefront.
	And the idea of electronic digital assets in the future, the only way that's going to fly is if it's shoved down our throats.
	And even then, even if they came up with anything digital, the first question is, Is it respect your privacy?
	Can they expire the money?
	Can they control it?
	And we know they want to control us.
	They want to control people.
	What you eat, how many hamburgers did you eat, how many miles you drove.
	So that whole thing with the digital space here I think this is a big reality check here for everyone.
	Yeah, the Central Bank Digital Currency effort is going to try to get us to sign up into a system of digital dollars that's also backed by nothing.
	And, you know, who's going to trust that system after the collapse of the dollar, by the way?
	I mean, if you thought the FTX collapse was a big deal, wait until the dollar collapses and all those, you know, 99 out of 100 Americans who don't even own any crypto Wait till they figure out they can't buy groceries and their ATMs don't work and their dollars are worthless.
	I mean, you talk about a panic.
	Like, that day is coming.
	But the future system will have to include energy as one of the backers of some kind of currency, I believe.
	I think energy is going to be part of the portfolio of commodities that go into a global currency system.
	And if anything, right now, we are discovering...
	The value of energy as Europe is facing an energy crisis this winter, where many people are going to starve to death or freeze to death, and the Nord Stream pipelines have been destroyed, likely by the U.S. and the U.K., and we're not getting energy exports out of Russia.
	Even the diesel shortage in America right now is due to a lack of Russian oil that's usually brought into refineries in the Gulf Coast region that would refine it into diesel.
	So now we're running out of diesel, and how's America going to work without energy, or at least energy scarcity?
	And the answer is, it's not.
	You can't buy food by printing money.
	You can't create energy by mining Bitcoin, by the way.
	Neither one of those actually give you what you need to live and feed yourself.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, you know, you touched on a great point here.
	We've got propane Armageddon coming.
	We've got diesel Armageddon coming.
	A lot of people don't know that we're in the mini ice age, the grand solar minimum.
	The energy that I think Canada, two days ago, Canada recorded 50 of its lowest all-time record temperatures.
	This means everyone's turning on the spigot, sucking up the natural gas.
	Biden has shut down the Keystone, has shipped all our liquid natural gas and propane off to Europe here.
	We are in big trouble here in America here, and I predict here, I'm predicting 150-barrel oil, then 220-barrel oil, and J.P. Morgan has predicted $380-barrel oil here.
	OPEC cuts back 5 million barrels, and there's a conflict in the Persian Gulf with Israel attacking Iran.
	So we got a lot of stuff here.
	There are guillotines and knives and swords hanging everywhere that can hit.
	But I believe they're all going to happen here.
	We're definitely going into oil shock.
	But it's also energy suicide.
	This Russian oil cap is going to take people down.
	We have so many problems here.
	When these problems come, while the crypto apocalypse is literally going off the cliff, We're going to be hit with these other things.
	Crypto is going to be moved to the sidelines.
	That money is going to be gone.
	And then our U.S. banking system, the dollar collapse going down, the famines, that's going to hit.
	And people have to get ready for that right now, Mike.
	You've been all over this.
	You've done a great job covering this here.
	And people need to be alert.
	Whatever you thought was going to be the worst case scenario for wintertime, it's going to be worse here.
	The temperature is going to drop.
	By Thanksgiving, I expect firewood to be 200 to 300 percent higher.
	But between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day, firewood is going to be sold out, if not double, triple them priced.
	If we go to 150 oil, which I know we're going to go there, then we're going to go higher.
	City budgets, city planners, county planners, if they did not set aside fuel and hedge themselves, they will not be able to run their snow plows.
	They're not going to be able to move police officers, first responders.
	We got big problems here, and it's going to come on a follow-up of the Russian oil cap policy being put together by Janet Yellen, who's going to, number one, she's going to regulate crypto right out of the atmosphere.
	And then she's going to come in there, put the Russian oil cap, and that's when we're going to see what I call energy suicide, a policy design to basically destroy the average person economically and financially.
	And then they're going to come in and say, we'll rescue with our CBDC. They're going to come with this.
	It's not good here, but this propane Armageddon, diesel Armageddon, it's big as an uplift, and people need to take action right away.
	They really do need to take action.
	All right, John, last question for you today in our final couple of minutes here.
	Because you're following people on, you know, you have a lot of participation on your Telegram channel.
	What is it?
	Silver is Money?
	Is that your channel?
	Silver is Money?
	Okay.
	Silver is Money and Silver is Money News.
	How has this collapse of FTX changed the tone of the discussions about silver and gold, by the way?
	We only have a minute left.
	Go for it.
	You know, I made all these predictions.
	I was very clear, very accurate on this here.
	And my people knew.
	We were ready.
	We're ready for the propane Armageddon.
	We're ready for the Ice Age.
	And everyone right now is getting a confirmation now that this dude went out on a limb.
	I made predictions.
	They were crazy.
	People were triggered.
	They were angry.
	It came true.
	Now it's pretty much kind of...
	You know, it's spiking the football in the end zone.
	It's like, now the spotlight is coming on gold and silver.
	We are going to make it here.
	We're going to make it big.
	We prepared.
	We invested.
	We're ready for this market here.
	We are absolutely ready for whether it's the collapse of the dollar, collapse of the stocks, increase in net gas.
	We've got a natural gas policy.
	We'll have to wrap it up there, John.
	Sorry to interrupt, but we've got to close out the show.
	Folks, that was John Perez.
	Silver is money.
