Time Text
Music Music Music Music Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Thursday, May 11th, 2023.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
We've got a great show lined up for you.
Two guests coming up.
First, we have Jim Gale from foodforestabundance.com and he joins us from out in the field in Florida, Central Florida, showing us what he and his friends and neighbors have been able to grow there in just about, I think, 14 months or so.
It's incredible.
He has transformed an area that was mostly sand and relatively poor dirt soils into a thriving food forest that's filled with nutrition and sustenance.
And he's going to show us that here today on the broadcast.
I can't wait for you to see that.
And then secondly, we've got coming up Pastor Todd Coconato.
And Pastor Todd, as I call him, he's also a host with us on Brighteon.tv, and If you haven't checked out his show, you want to probably check that out on Sundays.
We'll ask him about the schedule and the topics that are on his mind.
But since we are dealing with so much demonic infestation in society today, and the collapse of the courage of the church in Many cases, it seems, and rising pedophilia, child mutilations, all kinds of crazy, demonic, satanic things happening in our society.
We need to hear from a pastor who tells it like it is.
And that's Pastor Todd Coconato coming up right here today on Bright Town Broadcast News.
Now, I've got some other headlines for you as well, but I want to mention, oh yeah, Happy Mother's Day coming up.
For those of you who are moms, we appreciate you, and we recognize the importance of moms in our society, even though, of course, the radical left has abandoned motherhood, They've abandoned the very concept of a mom.
They don't even call you a mom anymore.
They call you a birthing person.
Yeah, how's that for being devalued?
It's like you're just a birthing person with a uterus and no value whatever for moms and what you go through to carry a child to term and to breastfeed and to raise a child.
I mean, come on.
So we appreciate you.
Happy Mother's Day.
We've got specials at our store, healthrangerstore.com, specifically for moms.
We've got a lot of specials coming up.
This is going to be running, well, actually right now, through the end of Mother's Day.
So, of course, we honor moms and all the effort that you have undertaken to bring other new beings into this world.
Thank you for all that you do.
At our Mother's Day sale at the Health Ranger store, we've got up to 55% off That's the maximum percent off on various products off of MSRP. We've got categories for you.
Just go to healthrangerestore.com slash Mother's Day.
But obviously don't type the apostrophe before the S. It's just Mother's Day without the apostrophe.
So again, healthrangerestore.com slash Mother's Day.
We've got free gifts.

We've got products for maintaining healthy energy levels, which of course is necessary for being moms these days, and also being denounced by the left for even being a woman.
It takes extra energy to assert your womanhood.

All of this is available at healthrangerstore.com slash Mother's Day.

So take advantage of that.
If you are a mom or you know a mom or you want to say thank you to your mom or thank you to any mom, We should all say thank you to moms in general right now, given how they're under attack.
But thank you for supporting us and thank you if you're a mom.
Otherwise, none of us would be here.
Think about that.
All right.
With that stated, now we've got two interviews coming up.
I'm going to go through some headlines right now that I think are really important.
I'm going to start with...
Well, actually, no, wait.
I'm going to get to this one in a second.
There's one by J.D. Rucker that's really good.
And it's called, We Cannot Stop the Societal Collapse That's Coming.
And he's got it published on Substack, by the way.
I'm going to get J.D. Rucker on the show, assuming he's available.
We're going to go through this here shortly.
But first, let me show you this story from the UK Daily Mail.
How 14 popular fast food chains are bulking up their poultry-based offerings with seaweed, beef, soy, oats, and wood.
Many products only include 60% meat alongside additives and proteins.
Yeah, that's what you get in your mystery nuggets there.
Many poultry-based products contain over 15 ingredients.
You would think that it might be just chicken and salt or something, but no.
No, it's 15 mystery ingredients, including yeast extract, which is another source for MSG, by the way.
I'm not going to go through this article, but it does cover the fact that a lot of these fast food restaurants, and it names McDonald's and Wendy's and Carl's Jr.
and a bunch of others, and it's talking about how it's not really all chicken.
It's all these other things that kind of pretend to be chicken.
It's just bulking up agents.
So you're not eating all food often.
You're eating some other crazy stuff from time to time, depending on if you're going through the drive-thru at those restaurants, which I will not do.
I don't know what's in that chicken nugget, but the last time I looked at it under a microscope, There's some pretty freaky red and blue fibers in there, so maybe we should do that again.
Next story from the Daily Wire.
In major reversal, Biden resurrects Trump border policy ahead of Title 42 repeal.
So as you know, today is Invasion Day.
Today is the day that Title 42 is being brought down.
And by some reports, a quarter of a million illegal aliens have gathered on the southern border to march into the United States as a literal invasion force to occupy and eventually overthrow the United States of America.
Well, I guess out of a sense of desperation, just because, frankly, the Biden administration has been getting a lot of heat from law enforcement all across the country, even federal law enforcement.
They have, as the Daily Wire reports, brought back a Trump-era immigration rule That was scheduled to sunset.
The rule, which was published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, disqualifies migrants from applying for asylum in the US if they neglected to first apply for asylum in other countries they traveled through, such as Mexico.
In other words, they're saying, oh, you want asylum in the US because you're escaping, let's say, Venezuela or El Salvador?
Well, gosh, you were already in another country.
You should have applied for asylum in Mexico.
And if you didn't, then we're going to turn you away from the United States.
That rule has been reenacted, to be clear, by the Biden administration.
Again, probably out of an act of desperation.
So what this means is that Border Patrol and law enforcement on the border now have an invoked rule to turn away some number of these migrants or illegal aliens who are trying to invade the United States of America.
It's not clear to me how many people this is going to affect, but I could imagine that it might affect the vast majority of them.
Because no one anticipated this rule being enforced by the Biden administration, even though it also brings up the question, will the Biden people even enforce this rule?
Because it seems to me they want America to be invaded.
They want America overrun.
And so why wouldn't they just usher people on through and just wave them through, here, you know, go invade America.
Be sure to vote in the next election and vote for Biden, right?
That's what they would probably do.
So we'll see where that goes.
Watch the news today.
I know InfoWars will be covering this.
Breitbart will be covering it.
A lot of conservative news outlets will be reporting on this, and it's a very serious issue.
We are under invasion in the United States right now.
Okay, moving on.
I should have mentioned this earlier in relation to the chicken nuggets, but here's a story originally from TechSpot.
It's happening.
AI chatbot to replace human order takers at Wendy's drive-thru.
So now when you drive up to a Wendy's, if you should do such a thing, and you want to place an order, you're going to be talking to an AI chatbot, which, let's face it, will probably be way more intelligent than the typical person that you get on the other end of a Wendy's drive-thru.
So the question is...
Are people smart enough to use the AI chatbot system in a way that makes sense for Wendy's?
Because you know how insane, crazy, fast food drive-thru customers order food, right?
It's like, ah, give me three burgers!
And I want cheese on them!
No, wait!
No cheese!
I want pickles!
Extra pickles!
No, wait!
Hold the mustard!
You know, it's just like, are you kidding me?
You had all this time sitting in the drive-thru to decide what you wanted and you can't explain it?
What's wrong with these people?
I mean, just make notes if you have to.
How much you want about the AI chatbot is going to be confused by people who are trying to order at Wendy's because half of them are high.
They're high and hungry.
They smoked pot and now they got the munchies.
They're like, just give me everything!
You know, one of everything.
Biggie this, biggie that, that.
And the AI chatbot will probably have fact checkers.
If somebody comes up and says, give me a burger, it's good for you, the fact checker.
Fact checking, fast food burgers are not good for your health.
So you'll have to deal with fact checkers at Wendy's, I would imagine.
And it'll probably prohibit you from ordering anything healthy, the same way that Google prohibits you from learning anything healthy about nutrition.
Yeah.
All right, next story comes out of LifeSite News.
Ex-Pfizer VP, this is Yeadon.
COVID-vax push was a, quote, supra-national operation intended to maim and kill deliberately.
So here we go, yet another confirmation of the global kill agenda, the mass extermination, depopulation via vaccines.
And again, this is a former VP of Pfizer saying this.
And he says multiple obvious toxicities were deliberately built into the designs of the vaccines with the result that there would be high expectations of blood clots, autoimmune attacks, and cytokine storms all over the body, depending on where it went in a given individual.
That's shocking.
That's a powerful statement, and I think it's true.
I think we should listen to Dr.
Yeadon on this.
Very, wow, very important information.
Okay, next item of insanity from LifeSite News.
Also, Biden administration proposes restrictions on dishwashers.
To fight climate change.
First, Biden came for your gas stoves, now he's coming for your dishwasher as well.
I want to point out, okay, not only did he come for your gas stoves, and in New York, by the way, it's now illegal to build a new building with a gas stove in it.
It's outlawed.
You can only use electric stoves now in all new construction in New York.
I think it's the whole state of New York, not just New York City, because Hochul pushed this.
I think it's the whole state.
And you also can't buy bulletproof vests, by the way, in New York.
Think about that.
You can't boil water and you can't protect yourself against gun violence.
So there you go.
But they're coming for, in California, they've already banned hot water heaters that are powered by natural gas, right?
And they...
So they don't want you to have stoves.
They don't want you to have hot water heaters.
Now they're coming for your dishwashers.
Because apparently dishwashers are bad for the climate, according to Biden.
See, it says in the story...
The Department of Energy has now set its sights on limiting access to dishwashers if they use too much water as determined by the bureaucracy.
In other words, they're probably going to have to roll out a whole new thing called crusty clean, where there's no water used to wash your dishes.
It just tries to cook off whatever's on there.
Do they realize that, this is just like with toilets in California, where they barely flush now, and then people just have to flush them two or three times, you know?
Dishwasher is going to be the same thing.
If your dishwasher doesn't clean your dishes, people are just going to run the thing twice.
It's going to use two cycles, twice as much electricity, and ultimately more water than if you just did it right the first time.
So this nanny state nonsense from the Biden administration is trying to shut down all your appliances.
This is getting insane.
Do you realize that it's getting to the point where, you know, you can't flush your toilet.
You won't be able to boil water and cook a meal on a proper stove.
You can't heat hot water and you won't be able to do the dishes.
I mean, what's next?
Oh, you won't be allowed to cool your home because air conditioning uses too much energy that's bad for the climate.
I mean, what are you supposed to do?
It's like crap in a bucket, eat on paper plates, like have fans running all the time.
They just want you to live in a third world existence where you have no electricity.
I mean, no benefits of modern appliances, whether they're electric or gas.
They just don't want you to use anything.
No water for you!
No power for you.
No gas for you.
Just go live in a shack on the side of the highway, which more people are doing in California now, and, you know, just crap in a bucket and throw it out the back.
That's what the Biden regime wants for everybody.
How dare you use energy?
How dare you live in a civilized manner?
How dare you wash your dishes?
Pretty soon you're going to be lectured by leftists if you have clean dishes.
Oh, clean dishes.
You must be destroying the climate.
Look at you.
You're so irresponsible.
Good eco-green people have green slime on their dishes to show their dedication to saving the climate.
No dishwashing allowed.
Pretty soon probably there will be no toilet paper allowed.
And then you'll just have left-wing climate cultists walking around with dirty dishes shitting themselves all day and talking about how they're saving the world.
That might be Nancy Pelosi's office right now, come to think of it.
But moving on.
From World Net Daily, the Bidens got more than $10 million from foreign entities, excuse me, This is a clear indication of a scheme to peddle influence.
And yeah, of course, Joe Biden.
This is from Representative James Comer from Kentucky.
He introduced this evidence in a big announcement.
And Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, I mean, it's a family crime cartel.
This is a new report from Republicans investigating vast cash payments to the Biden family.
He says that the Biden family and associates' activities in Romania bear clear indicia of a scheme to peddle influence from 2016 to 2017.
Is that how you pronounce that?
Indicia?
Indicia?
I mean, okay.
Clear indications of a scheme to peddle influence.
While Vice President Biden lectured Romania on corruption and ethics, Hunter Biden received over a million dollars from a company controlled by a Romanian individual accused of corruption.
And that's just scratching the surface on this, folks.
So...
Of course these people are corrupt.
Of course they accepted bribes.
Of course Hunter Biden took bribe money from Burisma in Ukraine.
Of course they took bribe money from China.
Of course the Bidens are completely compromised.
The media running cover for these people is a crime against America.
The media is complicit in this actual conspiracy cover-up.
The most criminal administration that has ever existed, I believe, in the history of this country, perhaps going back to Lyndon Johnson at this point, right?
I mean, this skips right over Nixon.
This goes to Lyndon Johnson.
These are crooks that run the White House.
These are crooks.
They're criminals.
They take bribes and kickbacks and payoffs.
They threaten and coerce, as Joe Biden did, caught on audio, I mean, bragging about it.
I mean, on video, actually.
Threatening Two, withhold grant money from Ukraine if they didn't drop the investigation into a company tied to his son, Hunter Biden.
These are all crooks and criminals, and thank God that Representative Comer and other Republicans have come out and told the truth about all of this.
Let's just see if it goes anywhere, because sadly we're living under a DOJ that itself appears to be covering up the crimes of the political elite while fabricating fake crimes against innocent Americans.
And that leads us to the J.D. Rucker story.
And remember, we are living through an accelerating collapse right now, in real time, in America.
My patience is wearing thin for people who keep arguing, oh no, things aren't collapsing, everything's fine, why are you being negative?
Have you been outside lately?
Have you seen society?
Have you interacted with society any time in the last three years?
I mean, it's worse than ever.
It's crazy.
J.D. Rucker talks about this.
He says, we cannot stop the societal collapse that's coming.
The writing on the wall is as clear to us as it was to Daniel, with a biblical reference there.
And he talks about these specific things.
I just want to go through these points here.
J.D. Rucker is doing a great job.
And there's also Michael Snyder is writing about a lot of these things.
He says, number one, the border crisis is a major problem.
The banking system crisis appears to be, by design, He says they want the American financial system to be consolidated under the handful of mega banks here.
The food supply in America is secretly in a state of utter shambles.
Yes, that's true.
That's why we keep encouraging people to grow food.
Control of energy infrastructure is being consolidated, while the shift to green energy will decimate the already limited stability of the grid.
Exactly.
Thank you for pointing that out, J.D. Normalization of health scares that started with the COVID pandemic and continue with outbreaks of other diseases.
So, yeah, they're going to enact medical tyranny on us and forced lockdowns and quarantines.
Then he talks about the LGBTQIA plus supremacy, which is the trans cult he's talking about, brainwashing our children, and frankly mutilating our children, creating a mass psychosis where those who know the truth feel compelled to Share in the lies.
It's crazy.
It is mass psychosis.
And I don't know why people are going along with this.
A man can never become a woman.
A man can never give birth to a child.
It can never happen, never will.
And then he says the massive rise in random violence will be the predicate for disarming the people and establishing an absolute police state.
And then he says here, this is just a partial list.
It is only a partial list.
The reality is the situation is far worse than what even J.D. Rucker describes.
We're watching the real-time collapse of our financial system, the dollar itself, and whatever value it has had.
We're watching the collapse of reason, rationality, morality, ethics, the rule of law, due process, law enforcement.
You know, the civility.
We're watching the collapse of everything that is a property of a sustainable, civilized society.
It's all collapsing in real time right in front of us.
And we are so far past the tipping point.
There's no coming back from this until the collapse runs its course.
Now, I'm not saying that everybody's going to die.
Just one or two billion people, probably.
There will be billions that survive.
That's great news for those who don't want to die.
But let's be honest, my estimate is one or two billion people will not survive what has been unleashed here.
And we're talking about over the next decade or so.
Earth's population will be significantly reduced.
Again, it's all by design because depopulation is being pushed by the globalists through their vaccines, through food industry sabotage, through gender-bender chemicals, poisoning of the skies with geoengineering, engineered droughts, weather control.
Oh yeah, you know what?
Reminds me.
Let me show you this shirt right here again, too.
Thank you, Dane Wigington.
Here it is.
Stop Climate Engineering right there.
Geoengineeringwatch.org.
Stop Climate Engineering.
Investigate.
There it is.
He sent me a couple of shirts.
I promised I would show them on camera.
But that's just one example of the war on humanity.
There's a war on our children, the war on education, the war on fertility, the war on families, the war on women, the war on mothers, the war on men, the war on, frankly, white people at this point.
There's a war on Asian people in the educational system.
You know, you're penalized for being Asian.
It's completely insane.
The society is collapsing.
If you don't see that, you're just not opening your eyes.
And when the collapse runs its course, it's going to be hell.
You're going to have desperate, crazy, psychologically instabled people running around desperate for food and, I don't know, whatever, carrying out acts of violence or craziness.
You're going to have people who can't get their medications.
You're going to have addicts who can't get their smack or whatever they're on.
It's going to be completely crazy.
And yeah, the government's going to come for us.
They're going to try to take away all our guns.
They're going to confiscate the money that you think you have in a bank account.
The banks are not safe.
The dollar will have no value at one point.
It's going to zero.
Not immediately, but eventually it's going to zero.
There are going to be bank bail-ins and bank freezes and government confiscation, automatic taxation.
They're going to try to corral you into central bank digital currencies where they can control your expenditures and monitor how you're using money.
And frankly, if we don't have money freedom, we don't have any freedom at all, which is why I'm digging so aggressively into alternative technologies, decentralized finance, DeFi as it's called, peer-to-peer cryptocurrencies that have privacy aspects and things like that.
I've got a little more work to do in that area.
But I'm going to share my findings with you probably in a few weeks here to tell you what I think I've found and what I think might be viable because we are screwed if we stay in the current system.
If you depend on the food system for your calories, you're going to starve to death.
If you depend on the financial system for your money, you're going to die in poverty.
If you depend on the government for your freedom, you're going to die a slave, folks.
I mean, it's time to get real about this.
And for all the deniers out there, good luck.
Good luck.
You probably won't make it.
You either get prepared or you get dead.
It's really that simple.
We are at the moment right now.
We're at that tipping point.
Where it's accelerating more, faster now than ever before.
And for those who aren't ready, I feel sorry for them at this point.
You know, the people who took all the shots and now are having eyeball clots.
Did you hear about that news?
Their eyes are clotting.
They're going blind because of the vaccines.
Which, by the way, is a fascinating metaphor, a physical manifestation of their mental state of being blind mentally.
They were blind to the truth, so they took a shot and it made them blind physically, and now they literally can't see.
That's what happens if you refuse to see.
Eventually, you will go blind.
I mean, there's a perfect example of it, playing out in physical, biological reality.
So, to those of you who are opening your eyes and you are getting prepared, congratulations!
You don't have to fear dying.
You will make it.
You're going to be okay if you've taken the right steps to get prepared and to be psychologically ready for what's coming.
You're going to make it.
It's not going to be easy for any of us.
It's going to be crazy.
There will be acts of random violence out there.
There will be desperate people coming to you for food or money or whatever.
There might be attacks upon you or I or all of us.
That's why we have to have our right to self-defense.
But you're going to make it.
If you watch this show and you're informed, you're going to be okay.
So I'm not here telling you to be afraid.
What I'm telling you is one or two billion other people are going to die.
And that will have effects across society that impact each and every one of us in various ways.
We're going to have a global economic collapse.
We're going to have a global engineered food supply collapse that's already underway.
We're going to have a global engineered banking system collapse, fiat currency collapse, There's already the collapse of reason and logic, like I said earlier.
And if you thought the drag queen pedophiles and child mutilators were bad now, wait until they're running around the streets with their AK-47s demanding to shoot Christians everywhere.
Because that's coming too.
You're going to have AK-47 toting drag queen lunatics running around the streets with scalpels trying to mutilate the genitalia of children and shooting the parents in the head if the parents resist because the pedophiles will say, your children belong to us.
How dare you be parents?
How dare you protect your children from the Satanism of the radical left?
Yeah, that day is coming.
Believe me, that's coming.
This is like a cultural revolution on steroids with straight-up demonism.
And satanic influences right out in the open.
And freaking child mutilators that are now surgeons and doctors in hospitals in blue cities and states that mutilate children for a living.
They get paid to do that.
And some insurance companies cover it, if you can believe that.
And some states subsidize it.
Did you ever think you'd live in America when the state of Oregon or the state of California was paying doctors to mutilate the vaginas and penises of children?
Did you ever think that that would be real?
And it is.
It's real.
They get paid to cut off breasts of little girls.
And then they celebrate it as an act of inclusiveness.
These people are insane, lunatic, criminal demons.
They are perpetrators of medical violence against children, and they have to be stopped.
We've got to have the rule of law to protect children from these left-wing lunatics.
And if you don't think America's collapsing, you're blind.
I'm sorry.
Your eyes are not open.
Get with the program.
You won't make it.
It's really that simple.
In fact, we're going to be talking to Pastor Todd Coconato about some of those very issues coming up here later on the broadcast.
But first, let's go to a really powerful interview with Jim Gale, who's got some outstanding solutions, and he's a lot more positive than I was just then.
Jim Gale is very inspiring.
And he talks about food and self-reliance and how we can share love and abundance and God's gifts and Mother Nature's abundance for all of us.
How we can make that happen in our own lives and maybe, just maybe, we can help heal this nation.
I mean, what if instead of cutting off the genitals of children, we taught them how to grow food?
Huh?
How about that?
And if a child says, oh, I want to be a pirate, it doesn't mean you should cut off their leg and gouge out their eye and put a patch on them and say, oh, you're a pirate!
No!
Teach them to grow food and just let them dress up as a pirate for Halloween.
You don't have to cut off a leg every time a child wants to be a pirate.
You freaking left-wing lunatics, you should all be in prison.
But let's get to the interview with Jim Gale so I don't lose my cool and blow my top here on camera.
Enjoy the interview.
Yeah, I need to go out and grow some food, obviously, because I'm getting too pissed off at the whole situation.
Two interviews coming up.
Thanks for watching.
You'll enjoy this.
Brighteon Broadcast News.
Welcome to today's interview on brighteon.com.
And we've got a great guest for you today.
It's Jim Gale and his website is foodforestabundance.com and he's an expert in sustainability and growing food in a regenerative way without using GMOs, without using pesticides and herbicides and he teaches people how to live off the food you grow which is becoming increasingly important.
and we'll talk about all that.
Jim Gale, welcome to the show.
Thank you for joining us from Florida right out in the field.
Yeah, thank you, Mike.
It's a pleasure to be here.
I've been a big fan of your work for a long, long time.
Thanks for all that you do.
Well, absolutely.
Look, I'm a fan of what you do as well.
And I want to let our audience know that you are intentionally filming this outside so that you can show people what we're talking about.
And I really appreciate the authenticity that you're demonstrating there.
Yeah, we are demonstrating freedom.
I have been obsessed with this for about 15 years.
When I first watched some of your videos, Zeitgeist and Loose Change and listened to you on Alex Jones and all that, I became obsessed.
I've got four daughters.
And when I started looking at the world through a long-term lens, I realized that We have to make changes, and this is it.
You know, Victor Hugo said there's one thing stronger than all of the armies of the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
I'm here to demonstrate that idea for the world right now.
Absolutely.
Well, we love it.
So show us around.
I mean, first of all, tell people where you are geographically.
So, I mean, we can take a guess, but tell us, please.
Yes, I'm in Galt's Landing, named after John Galt from Atlas Shrugged in Central Florida, where we are completely off the grid.
We've got an off-grid community here with 10 home sites on 50 acres with a private 430-acre lake and a mile-long paved runway to our east, which we intend to bring world leaders here So they can learn what freedom and abundance truly looks like and they can bring this freedom and abundance to their communities.
Wait, did you say you have a private 430 acre lake?
It's a miracle.
Did I hear that correctly?
We've got the only dock on this incredible lake.
It's called Cat Lake.
And then we've got the runway.
The way things are laying out is beyond Newtonian physics.
There's some synchronicity, some divine intervention here, I believe, with all of my soul.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
So show us around.
Start talking and showing.
Give us a little show and tell.
I see sand.
I see palm trees.
Yeah.
Go for it.
Okay, so this, everything you see here 14 months ago was sand.
There was literally nothing here but Florida sand.
Everybody told me that what we're doing cannot be done.
Look at the bananas.
Wow, love it.
All bananas.
Everything you see here, mints and dill and lemongrass and bay rum, and even we've got lots of toilet paper plants, because toilet paper is going to be a hot commodity here in the near future.
Everything.
Look at the papaya tree.
You know, people say that money doesn't grow on trees.
Well, they don't have my trees.
Oh, I love it.
That's money!
Yeah, you're making me miss when I lived in Ecuador because it looked about like that.
We were getting fresh papayas every day.
Right?
Yeah.
I mean, we have 230 different types of food growing here.
And that's the key to...
The Garden of Eden, my friends, is not a utopic fantasy.
It's how we are meant to live on this earth.
Taking the poisons out of the system and growing food in place of half of our lawns literally solves all of the world's biggest problems from mass extinction to tyranny.
And also food decentralization, which I know you believe in very strongly, but think about it.
If we all just use our yards, then we would be more resilient against food shortages, supply chain problems, food industry sabotage, all of that, right?
All of it.
So there are 44 million acres of lawn in the United States.
The lawn takes more poisons, more chemicals, more human resources than any other crop, and it is the foundation of our enslavement.
Yeah.
Well, right, because everybody has to go back for food, and probably with central bank digital currencies, they're going to lock down what you're allowed to buy.
Well, what is that interesting statue there of, what is that?
Sculpture.
This is who we are.
This was sent by my partner, Marcel, who found Hank Willis Thomas created this sculpture, and it signifies we will not put up with force and violence.
So we are very public here about our Declaration of Freedom.
We do not pay taxes.
We do not ask the government for permission to do anything.
And very strategically, we serve our community.
We put a food forest at a local school.
We have events all the time and we help our community grow food.
And food is the foundation of our freedom.
When we have food decentralization, when everybody eats, then we have the foundation of freedom for humanity.
Wow, wow.
So this community, is it structured as like a PMA or something like that?
Yes, it's in trust.
And we're working with some amazing people to help us get completely off the grid.
And the one thing that Ian Ayn Rand did in her book is she had all the successful people in society leave society and go create their own community in the mountains.
We're doing exactly the opposite of that.
We are showing and declaring to the world, this is where we are.
And if you come with force and violence and try to harm us, we're going to shine a camera on you with all of our partners, generals and colonels and Green Berets and social media people and influencers of all kinds.
We simply want to expose the criminality and the force and violence of government and then invite them to do the right thing.
Wow!
Very powerful and I think the time is just critical for this.
We need to assert our humanity and the divine right to grow food, to exist, to breathe.
Tell us about what you've done to the soils there, because frankly, the soils look quite poor at first glance.
So you must have done a lot to get it to grow.
What have you done?
Well, so we started with this 50 acre piece and we needed to build this land up because it was in a wetland area or a flood zone.
So we built this four acre, 25 foot deep pond and we put 14,000 fish in the pond with seven different species, sunnies and crappies and bass and catfish and three types of minnows.
And we used the land, that soil, and we built up this land about six, seven feet.
Really?
Yes.
So we literally started with the worst possible conditions 14 months ago.
And then what we did is we started by layering it with mulch.
So we ordered and got a bunch of mulch, semi-truck loads of mulch.
We laid that down and then we designed it.
We used permaculture principles.
In fact, this is so relevant.
Permaculture, the science, the agricultural design science within permaculture, it's basically mimicking nature and then designing God's design or nature, which is the same thing in my knowing, to be the most productive it can be relative to what our desires are.
So my desire is to have the Garden of Eden.
So yeah, within that science is all of these amazing solutions.
So we basically use those principles.
We stacked the design where we have guilds of plants.
A guild is a community of plants that support each other.
So on the ground here, we've got nitrogen fixers and beneficial insect attractors.
This has become a butterfly and bee paradise.
We've got legumes, which are nitrogen fixers, and they also provide food.
We've got comfrey, and we've got moringa.
Moringa is a chop and drop, right?
Yep.
The miracle tree, the tree of life.
Yeah, I grow some of that myself in Texas.
Yeah.
Amazing!
It comes back, too.
I mean, it dies from the cold in Texas, but it comes back every year, and it still gets 20 feet tall every year.
Crazy.
That is awesome.
I know people growing moringa in New York.
Yeah.
That's awesome, man.
And the leaves, you can just, like you're doing, you can eat them, you can put them on salads, you can make tinctures.
It's amazing, the moringa extract.
But tell us, Jim, so if people want to do this themselves or learn from you, is that what they can get on your website, foodforestabundance.com?
How do you teach people these principles?
That's exactly right.
So we install, in fact, we launched with Dell Big Tree with the help of Dell two years ago.
And there was one full-time person and two part-time people at the time.
We are now serving people in 53 countries and 50 U.S. states.
We install edible landscapes or food forests all over the world.
Okay, tell us more about, is it a course?
Is it a book?
Is it a video?
I mean, how do people learn?
Or how does it work?
It's all of the above.
So we educate and demonstrate.
And we also design.
So we have a group of designers that are strategically located all over the place.
And those designers, if somebody says, I want to have a food forest in my yard, Then we start, or in their hotel or school or church or anywhere, right?
Then we start by designing their land to be productive using the permaculture principles.
Then, if they want an installation, then our cooperative network comes in and does the installation.
Oh, the actual planting, the soils, everything necessary?
Yeah.
Wow.
Okay.
So somebody watching this, let's say they own a house somewhere in America, they want to turn their backyard into a food forest, they can contact your organization and maybe get help doing that?
That's exactly what we do.
And we have no NDAs, we have no non-competes, and we have no patents.
We are here to inspire and empower a shift that leads to mass adoption, a cultural revolution where people simply take the poisons out of their lives and grow food instead of lawns.
If we inspire that shift, then we solve all of the big ones.
See, that is extraordinary.
And so you're telling me that those...
Behind you, am I seeing mostly bananas?
Is that what most of those palm-looking trees are?
They're all bananas?
Yes.
Every area here is different.
We've got bananas here.
We've got a lot of herbs and spices here.
We've got papayas.
So every area has a different kind of function.
Okay.
So, Jim, where's your avocado trees?
Because we've got to have avocados with the bananas.
We've got nine different types of avocados, about 15 different types of bananas and mangoes and papayas, and if you name it, it's probably here.
Oh, amazing.
Oh, man.
Okay, I'm going to have to visit.
I'll bring my blender.
We'll do a smoothie fest.
Oh, yeah.
I can't wait.
Alright, so we hear the word regenerative agriculture a lot.
Is there any real difference between permaculture and regenerative techniques, or are they essentially the same?
They're the same.
Anything that is regenerative, it falls under permanent culture.
The permanent culture science creates systems that create more energy than it takes to create them and maintain them.
Planting a fruit tree for instance, the amount of energy that we put into planting that one papaya, the energy that will come off of this is infinite.
You can count the seeds in one of these papaya, but you can't count the papayas in a single seed.
A million papayas can come from one seed in that plant over time.
Right.
Right.
And then nature provides the sunlight for free, the carbon dioxide for free, the water falls out of the sky for free.
I mean, it's like all we have to do is organize what nature provides us and then it's automatic abundance.
That's exactly right.
So my question obsessively has been, how do we do that?
How do we organize and inspire this shift?
So we have created a council of 12.
We've got seven seats full, including Brigadier General Blaine Holt and John Nolan from the Inspired Channel and the hockey superstar Theo Fleury, who's an expert in trauma, and Pat Miletic, who's now a soil savior, who is a We're good to go.
It's time to grow food, and here's exactly how to do it.
Then we subvert this wicked MSM, mainstream media system, and we help people see that it's possible to be completely free.
Well, I love your message, Jim, and it's funny because literally on the way to the studio today, this thought entered my head, which you'll find funny, and it was, I should be growing more food and doing fewer interviews.
Yeah.
But they're competing interests.
I want to share your message with the world, and we have amazing people, but I also want to be growing more food.
It gives me the most joy in my life, actually, is to grow food.
It's the most amazingly happy thing that I can imagine doing.
Yes, and the ultimate stack of functionality is when you're growing food while doing an interview.
Well, how do we do that?
How can I grow food while doing interviews?
Well, look, here I am.
Well, you're doing it.
You got it figured out.
Now, help me do it.
That's what we do.
We've got a model called the Freedom Farm Academy, in which we help influencers not only talk about freedom, but demonstrate freedom while they're talking about freedom at scale around the world.
And it's going viral.
It's really exciting.
Alright, that's it, Jim.
I'm going to have to do at least suspended net hydroponics on this desk.
Love it!
Okay, that's it, guys.
We're going to bring in, because this is indoors here, but we're going to bring in the grill lights.
We'll use a little bit of artificial stuff.
I'm going to have food grown on this desk.
That's it.
That's dedication to Jim Gale.
Food on the desk, that's the plan.
That's so beautiful.
I'm going to do it.
Wow.
I've got another strategic piece I'm so excited to share with you because I've been listening to you and I know how strategic and thoughtful you are.
So I look at all the systems in our world, the pillars of enslavement of our society, like government, like the medical system, like the school system, all these pillars of enslavement, they're one tweak away.
From that same energy system becoming the foundation of freedom.
I will never trust government or politicians.
However, if a politician speaks to this type of method to create abundance in our world and they do it very tactically, then that politician will have our endorsement at scale.
So here's a strategy.
So if any politician, Bobby Kennedy, RFK, Ron DeSantis, or Trump, campaigns on the wise use of our resources, they would not only win every ethical vote, but the campaign itself would change the world, and here's exactly how.
We don't have any secret plans, by the way.
Everything we do...
It's because I've got four daughters and because I love the world and I love nature and I love my family and community, right?
So that's why I'm very open and transparent about every strategy that we have.
So imagine that they go into a prison and the optics and the function of this, one thing would be a world changer.
They help the prisoners create their own gardens to create their own food while learning the principles of permaculture.
This has been done before.
It was done in California.
And the recidivism rate for the inmates that spent a few years, three years in this program, went from over 60% to under 10%.
Whoa.
Because they had purpose.
They had skills.
They had self-reliance.
Yes!
So that's monstrous.
Now imagine the next campaign stop, the politician is at a school with all the kids around, and they're talking about the poisonous foods and the food lunches, which everybody recognizes to be horrendous.
Most everybody.
And they say, okay, we're going to help the kids grow their own food.
We're going to take out the poisons of this landscape and we're going to install permaculture landscapes.
And then they do it and they talk to the function and benefits to the school and to the community for doing that.
This has been done.
It's profound.
Now the politician is standing in an opportunity zone with a rabbi and an imam and a priest.
And they're standing there with a bunch of people that their closest food is poisonous food.
And they are installing in a park or in community land a food forest with the community.
And they're saying this will help cancer, diabetes, and heart disease rates.
And then we add the functionality of the Freedom Farm Academy model where it becomes a value to the community on every level.
And this goes on and on and on.
This has to do with the military and the police force.
When we take these energetic systems and we bring permaculture into them, it changes the world.
In one campaign season, the world will change.
It's profound, and you're exactly right.
I mean, you know, they talk about, the politicians talk about health care costs and how do we fund all the disease.
Like, hey, instead of funding disease, why don't we fund food?
Yeah.
And then the disease gets taken care of when people are gardening and eating fresh vegetables and high nutrient density fruits and vegetables that they grow, which are, you know, nothing like what's in the grocery store typically.
I mean, they're so much better when you grow them yourself.
You can pick them actually fresh and full of nutrients.
And, you know, you're touching the soil, right?
So you're getting...
You're in touch with nature.
You're getting sunshine.
I mean, all these things.
You're right, Jim.
We don't have a crisis that can't be addressed.
Even...
You know there's a mental health crisis today among America's youth.
Some crazy number, like a third up to a half, claim to be mentally ill.
And maybe they are being made mentally ill by dissociating them from reality.
Put them in gardens...
Teach them food skills.
Guess what?
Mental health, self-repairs.
Self-repairs.
Everybody that comes here to Gallup's Landing and stands where I'm sitting now says, Jim, a lot of people get tears in their eyes.
Yeah.
Because until they experienced the frequency, the vibration, the energy, and the life of these systems, they didn't believe it was possible.
But once they feel it, then everything changes.
It's like a religious experience.
Well, which makes sense because those are all gifts from God.
Yes.
I got tears in my eyes.
You're exactly right.
The wisdom in a natural system is infinite.
And for our insane scientists to think, I can't even call them scientists, but you know what I'm saying.
They think that they can somehow manipulate the genetic and the whole nature's divine system.
It's another root of our enslavement.
Yeah, no kidding.
Well, you know, just as they dissociate us from food, they also dissociate us from knowledge.
So you think about a lot of what you have had to learn and master was really indigenous knowledge that existed for, you know, tens of thousands of years until modern agricultural forces came along and started to tell farmers, no, you need to poison those fields, right?
That was...
Yes.
All by design.
Henry Kissinger 50 years ago said, if you want to control people, control the food supply.
That is so relevant today.
So if that's the problem, and it is, it's a poisonous, weaponized food supply.
Then the solution is take the poisons out and use God's design again.
Yeah, exactly.
And it reminds me, I'm going to criticize some of the churches here, but I see people going to church and they're eating junk food after a church service.
I'm like, come on, this is a house of worship, you know, honor God's gift.
To your body, to your health.
And maybe instead of eating donuts after church, they should come out and eat the herbs and bananas at your place.
And you can worship God from a field.
You can worship God from anywhere.
What better place than God's creation surrounding you, right?
Oh, man.
Well said, buddy.
And let's bring the food for us.
Let's bring the Garden of Eden to the church.
And then that becomes not only an abundance of food.
Every single plant that we've planted here is an incredible investment.
But it will also be a food supply center.
So a food forest becomes a nursery and an education site.
So when people come here, we've got teams all around us that are putting food forests in the ground right now because the people came here to visit.
And then they said, I want to do that too.
Oh, why not?
Yeah, especially with the climate in Florida, it's, you know, very amenable to growing lots of things.
Can people come get tours at your place?
I mean, how do they do that?
They go to Galt's Walks.
It's G-A-L-T-S-W-A-L-K-S dot com.
And they can book tours.
We do large events.
Dr.
Christiane Northrup will be here this weekend doing an affidavit signing for professionals and doctors that are basically saying that the narrative is false.
And all sorts of events that if you want an event at a place that is absolutely beautiful, we do that as well.
Okay, great.
I've got your site up here, galtwalks.com, and people can make a reservation.
There's you, Jim, teaching people again.
Wow, okay, at Galt's Landing, and then you show people how to do all this.
And is there, what is this, tours happening three days per week near Orlando?
I assume there's some kind of a fee for it.
Yeah, it's $49 for a tour, a single-person tour, and then we do group tours and events and all sorts of other stuff.
Well, $49 seems really inexpensive for learning some of this and just getting to see it.
And then do you have more, like, what if people want to do more hands-on help?
You know, they want to be...
Maybe they want to pitch in.
Maybe they want to...
I don't know.
You're telling me woofers.
Yes.
Everybody...
So that's what we do.
We create the structures where people can do this themselves.
We help them.
They can come here and learn and practice.
The Freedom Farm Academy is the ultimate model.
It's basically an off-grid homestead that turns into not only...
Does everybody want an off-grid homestead that's in luxury, but it also becomes an education and demonstration site where we're like the opposite of Walmart, where what we sell, what we promote, are all things like water catchment, water filtering, solar energy, other energy systems, food forestry, and all of the different functions of a free, decentralized society.
So we're inviting people who want to live this way to join us all over the world.
Well, that's amazing.
I think what you're building there represents the future of human civilization.
I really do.
Because, look, I mean, let's face it, our current system, not sustainable.
No.
Which means it will end.
Yes.
I mean, and it's going to be a wild ride to those of us who are living through this.
But what you're doing, Jim, this is the way we have to live if we want to have a future.
I know that with all my heart.
And I also believe there's something...
Profound about the frequency, the energy of faith and courage because there's a lot of people who are studying the problem and they're so scared right now when we can see and witness the problem but not from a place of fear, from a place of understanding and then step into faith and courage and declare, I am not participating anymore.
And that's a lot of fun.
Exactly right.
And you are very inspiring, and it's rather contagious also.
So thank you for demonstrating that aura of courage and faith.
Let me ask you a practical question.
Has the local government, the county, given you any harassment over what you're doing?
You know, that's so funny, because no, they have not.
And I'm curious as to why, because they've been here.
They even sent one of their secretaries here for a party we just had a couple weekends ago, and she loved it.
So what I think is happening is, first of all, on 400 podcasts, I've declared that if any force and violence comes our way, that we are going to shine a lot of cameras on that, on the perpetrators of the force of violence.
And I think these people love what we're doing, and they simply don't want that attention.
Well, and also, like you said, you're going out of your way to be a good neighbor to the community.
You are teaching people food self-reliance, food abundance, and frankly, if any county officials have any sense at all, they would want you to exist and grow and expand and teach others because it's going to make the whole county stronger.
Exactly right.
And healthier.
Yes.
And we want to work with the county people because it's an energy system.
So we want to work with them.
Thing is, we won't work with them under their terms.
I'm not paying taxes to a government that we are at war with.
I'm not asking for permission.
What they will allow me to do is cut everything down and poison this land.
And then they'll allow me to plant plants that they say can grow here.
What we're doing here is illegal.
The legal system is the undoing of God's law.
So we are saying, no, we're going to demonstrate a way that we know is lawful.
And if you try to harm us, well, that would be probably a bad idea.
Well, you can count on us, Jim, all of us here at Brighteon and Natural News.
We got your back on this, too, because we support exactly what you're doing.
I think, in fact, your model is a wonderful template for more people to do all over the world.
I mean, not just the USA, but all over the world.
And the only way that we're going to live as free people in an abundant society is to start simply demanding it.
Yes.
I mean, you declare it.
Yep.
Declare it and demonstrate it and then serve.
And this is the fun part is I've never been happier.
I've never been more committed, more aligned.
We are serving our community.
And what happens when we serve in a voluntarious society, then things come back.
Like, it's amazing the connections, the friendships that we've made in the last few years.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you look happy, and I've got to tell you, if I were standing right next to some really awesome banana plants, I would definitely have a smile on my face as well, because, again, I miss those plants.
And they grow so fast, and they're so majestic.
And I love when the bananas, when they bloom, I think I saw one of the blooms, and then bumblebees come in.
And I love the bumblebees coming in.
And, yeah, there you go, the purple.
When those open up and the bees...
Yeah, there we go.
The bees love it.
And they're in there buzzing around and it makes me super happy to see that.
You know what's so amazing about the natural system?
So like this one is the easy one to see.
This rack, the plant recognizes how many nutrients are in the soil and how many bananas can be supported based on the soil.
Yes.
So this year...
There's this many bananas, maybe 50, 60.
Next year, with the next pup that comes up, there'll be 120.
The year after that, there'll be 180 as we build soil.
And guess what?
We don't have to manually build the soil anymore.
The soil will build itself because we've created the design elements that build soil.
So are you putting microbes into the soil or are you doing compost of any kind?
Oh, pineapple.
Awesome.
Yeah.
Yes, we use many different systems.
We use worm castings, biochar.
We use Pat Miletic's product.
He's the soil savior.
It's called the Humigenics.
And we have a chem buster, by the way, over here.
It's a very interesting Tesla-esque contraption that helps disperse.
Now, I am not an expert in this, and I am not saying that this is scientifically proven by any means.
But my observation is that there are more chemtrails in the surrounding area than there are above our property, and I believe it's because of this system.
Wow.
That's fascinating.
Okay.
Well, let me ask, can you point the camera at that pineapple again?
Yes.
And I want to share something with you about pineapples and ask you a question.
So, you know, in our food lab, we do a lot of testing for herbicides and pesticides.
And did you know the number one source where people get exposure to atrazine, which is a chemical castrator weed killer, is pineapples in the store?
Wow.
Oh God, I had no idea.
That's the number one, yeah, so point the camera at that plant again.
Let me show you something.
So on a traditional commercial pineapple farm, they would spray atrazine all around the pineapple plant to kill all that good stuff that you have growing there.
Oh man.
And then that would get atrazine into the pineapple, and then people eat the pineapple, and those are chemical castrators.
Those are gender bender chemicals.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's nuts.
Isn't it bonkers?
It's bonkers.
And these are edible.
This is perennial peanut, and that actually fixes nitrogen in the soil.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
It's like, hey, you don't have to kill stuff to have food.
You know, there's one other thing I want to share, and that's my friend in Minnesota, northern Minnesota.
His food forest makes this one look like a baby.
And we've got people in Arizona and Poland and greening the deserts of Jordan.
This can be done anywhere.
Of course, the plants are very different.
So permaculture design is about finding what plants are native and natural and can grow well in every particular zone and then designing those plants into the landscape.
Oh, yeah.
But then also in permaculture, you can make quite a few local alterations, such as water capture, for example, so you can create your own new microclimates, more moist soils.
Even you can create your own wetlands if you capture it correctly.
100%.
In fact, Jeff Lawton did one called Greening the Deserts of Jordan, in which he took a place where it only rained a couple times, maybe once a year, maybe once every two years, and he created an incredible food forest there.
By capturing and storing water just from rains.
Yes.
Yeah, see, that's extraordinary.
And that's what I've seen in Texas, too.
If you shape the water capture, you change the entire ecosystem.
And all of a sudden, trees start growing where they never would have grown before because now there's enough water there.
And you don't even have to plant them.
Right.
They appear.
Isn't it amazing?
They appear.
There's so many seeds in the soil.
And when you create earthworks to catch and store water, you can turn desert areas into green, lush areas.
The way that our community developers have done it, using concrete to take water away from the land, is part of the insanity of everything we've been doing.
Oh yeah, you're not kidding.
I mean, we've gone so far from the principles of, you know, sustainable food and connection with food where it's all this artificial agriculture.
But do you think, I mean, what are you hearing from people?
Is there a new awakening?
Are people getting turned on to this that maybe never would have considered it before?
At scale, I've been nuts about this for 16 years.
And for the first 13 years, it was like blah, blah.
People are like, ah, Jim, that's a cool idea, it's beautiful, but whatever.
Now, in the last three years, it's going exponential.
That's amazing.
You know, and I'm just being honest, just out of my heart, I want to ask you, is there a way that we can, you know, financially donate to what you're doing there?
Do you have a non-profit or something?
Yeah.
We're actually, yes, we're partnered with Restore Liberty, General Holt's Wow.
Amazing woman.
Her name is Robin Cadell.
She's so awesome.
And she sees that not only does she want to help and has she helped people in 11 counties eat that otherwise wouldn't have eaten, but now she wants to teach her community how to grow their own food and become the nursery demonstration site to do so.
So it's like a living food bank.
A living food bank that actually gives them the ability to grow their own.
That's amazing.
See, that's...
You know, like, we've donated to food banks before, you know, in Texas, and you go there, and normally they tell you, oh, we just want canned food.
Like, come on!
Come on!
I have...
No, Jim, listen, you're not gonna...
This is absolutely true.
I'll go ahead and say this publicly.
I have a thousand pound...
A thousand pound pallet stacked with organic black eyed peas in the back of my truck right this minute because we found wormholes in them.
And because they have wormholes in them, you know, little tiny pea worms, like we can't use them.
We can't sell them to our customers.
But it's all organic.
They're lab tested.
And we check with the food bank, like, can anybody use these?
And they're like, nope.
If there's wormholes, can't use it.
So I am, Jim, I have to dump 1,000 pounds of organic black-eyed peas into compost.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because society, no one wants it, but they would rather have the chemical version where there's no wormholes.
I will eat the freaking black-eyed peas.
I don't care about the wormholes.
Personally.
Not at all!
The wormholes, they're benefits to everything in nature.
That's the lie that we've been told for so many generations, is that nature is dangerous and that there's scarcity and fear.
That's all part of the foundation of enslavement.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's crazy, but even the food banks, we've got to upgrade the food banks, and even understanding what is the definition of food.
Because, I mean, it was years ago, we were getting four dozen eggs a day from our hens, and we went to the local food bank, and we're like, hey, can we just start bringing you eggs?
And they said, not from a home farm, it has to be a commercial farm, because of all the labeling, and all the health department inspections, and I'm like...
These are far better eggs.
They're fresh farm eggs.
We can't give these to poor, starving people?
And they're like, nope, can't do it.
That's government-y.
It's insane.
By the way, I do want to mention Doc Pete Chambers, who was on your show a little bit ago.
He's also one of our core partners, and I'm so thankful that he made this introduction.
He is one of the most incredible, integrous, and courageous people.
Doc Chambers is right up there on my top 10 list.
An amazing guy.
I can't wait to have him back here in studio because he's a fellow Texan, but he does travel.
I'm telling you, Jim, your message is powerful.
We've got to have you back on.
Please keep us posted.
If people want to donate to what you're doing, where can they do that?
They can reach out to us at foodforestabundance.com and then we can get very strategic about how that donation will serve the highest and best use.
Okay.
Well, I am putting together, Jim, I'm putting together a target list of Things to support in 2024, because we just made a big donation of food to food banks, like actual superfood, by the way.
Yeah, that just shipped out, I think, last week.
We're prepping a bunch of donations for next year.
I want to get you on the list, and I'd love to get you in studio the next time you're in Texas, but most importantly, we want to spread the word of what you're doing.
Do you have any kind of an educational video course?
Of any kind?
Yes, we're collaborating with many different permaculture teachers and designers.
So yes, we can get you a couple different things that you can share.
Okay, so we launched Brighteon University recently, and that's all about educational content that streams 24-7.
Let's talk after the show.
Maybe this evening I've got to do another interview coming right up, but let's talk later about seeing if we can get some of your courses on Brighteon University so people can watch them.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, this is it.
I mean, the answers are right there.
Yes.
They're all around.
It's just back to nature.
Take the poisons out and go back to natural systems.
Design life into your neighborhoods.
Yeah.
I love that.
That should be our bumper stickers right there.
Design life into your neighborhoods.
Or bring life back into your kitchen, you know?
Boom.
Yeah, instead of all dead processed stuff all the time, like grow some food.
Okay, well Jim, this has been fascinating and thank you for sharing your time and your heart with us.
It's amazing to be able to do this with you.
Thank you, Mike.
For everything you do, I'm so excited to continue the collaboration.
Well, I may call you and ask you a few questions because I'm serious.
We're going to set up some food grow operations on this desk.
That's it.
Every day, people will be able to check.
I mean, it's just a little, you know, it's a symbol of what you can do out in nature, but at least let's grow some food here.
Absolutely.
Imagine when a lot of other influencers symbolize this and demonstrate it.
This is how we create a cultural shift that frees humanity.
Yeah, 100%.
That's what this is all about.
All right.
Well, thank you, Jim.
God bless you.

Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And, you know, America is suffering under a spiritual crisis, also a mental health crisis, and I think they're intertwined.
And a lot of people are looking for salvation, but some people are taking shortcuts.
Here to help provide some real answers, I think, to where we are and what it's going to take for us to be saved, even to save our nation, is Pastor Todd Coconato.
His website is pastortodd.org, and he returns after several months.
It's been a while since we spoke, but welcome, Pastor Coconato.
It's great to have you on.
Hey, Mike, it's great to be back on with you.
I love, you know, I'm part of the Brighteon family, and so I just really appreciate what you're doing.
You're doing more kingdom work than, I'd say, at least 70% of the pastors in America, isn't that...
Remarkable, but it's true, man.
Oh, wow.
Well, that's high praise.
Yeah, you just had the Kennedy gentleman on that's running.
I mean, you've had some great guests, and these are tremendous interviews that you're doing.
Well, you're a great guest, too.
And we had a very powerful conversation a few months ago.
And since then, the need for spiritual intervention in America is now more dire than ever.
Did you see those videos recently along Highway 101?
All the people who lost their homes are living in campers and RVs now along the side of the highway.
And that's spreading.
It's getting much larger.
It is.
I mean, you know, I used to pastor in California for 17 years.
We were right there in Hollywood, you know, right outside of Hollywood.
And so I saw, you know, we saw California go from Reagan to Newsom.
So you can imagine the change that we saw there.
I mean, it was quite remarkable.
It's a great state.
There's a lot of patriots there.
But unfortunately, because of the Uniparty and just all the horrible policy, now, you know, the cost of living is through the roof.
Gas is, I mean, you're looking at gas prices like $7 in some places in California right now.
It's just crazy.
And so what's happening is the lower class and even the lower middle class citizens of California, if they're not on entitlements and they're not getting government handouts, they're finding themselves on the streets.
The middle class is being wiped out.
Yeah, the middle class is getting wiped out.
But along with that, there seems to be kind of a psychic fracturing that I'm noticing among a lot of people.
People are snapping or breaking down our nation's youth.
They self-diagnose as having a lot of mental illness.
They're incapable in many cases of showing up for work, doing a job, taking a final exam.
It's like...
A final exam is triggering and they can't take the test and they have to delay it and they have to go get a doctor's note for some kind of diagnosis of mental stress.
It's like, whoa, wait a second here.
This is not normal.
Something is going on.
What do you think are the big factors, Pastor Todd?
Obviously, it's a spiritual problem, you know, but the problem is, you know, I meet kids all the time that are on like two, three psychotropic drugs.
If you go to a doctor, they're being rewarded, the doctors, for giving out psychotropic drugs like candy.
So this is what's happening.
And if you talk about it on social media, they'll probably take your page down, you know.
This is the reality.
I deal with it all the time.
Kids are confused.
They're gender confused.
They don't have an identity.
Because when they go to school, when you and I went to school, Mike, we actually learned.
Speak for yourself there, Todd.
I was goofing off most of the time.
But you know what?
I mean, like, let's just go even before our time.
Let's go back to the 50s and 60s, maybe our parents' generation.
I mean, you know, when you went to school, you expected to learn.
Now you get indoctrinated.
And, you know, it's gone from the colleges down to, you know, elementary school, junior high.
It's an indoctrination camp.
And so they're not being taught.
Look at the comparison of the children in China compared to American students.
I mean, just look at the test scores and the deterioration.
America should be in the top 10.
We're way below that.
And so what's happening is we're churning out these kids that are uneducated and they don't know their identity.
And then from the spiritual standpoint, the church has been seeker-friendly For the last 30 years, we haven't taught, you know, key factors of the Bible, key doctrinal, you know, core doctrine values of biblical morality.
So this is what you get, you know.
So we have like a level 10 emergency problem.
And by the way, every time they try to go after society, who do they go after?
They go after the kids.
So the kids have been targeted.
And, you know, I see it.
I have a four-year-old, Mike, and I'll tell you, we don't even let her really get on YouTube because the algorithms push up all this weird stuff.
So she'll be watching like Blue's Clues or something innocent.
The next thing you know, you got some transvestite person on there doing a commercial, you know?
So parents have to be fully engaged, and we're in such a spiritual battle right now.
Well, you're exactly right.
I want to get to that question of what's behind this, because you and I talked in the past about the rise of Satanism and demonic influence or infestation.
And frankly, since we spoke last, I've only seen it get worse where there seems to be this outpicturing of demonic forces, people on the streets, people targeting children, actual pedophilia and so on.
And sometimes it's in the schools, like your math teacher wants you to cut off your genitals.
It's like, whoa, where is that coming from?
It doesn't seem fully human in origin to me.
What are your thoughts?
Clearly it's not.
We can get into some real rabbit holes about what's going on in the world right now, but let me just say this.
To your point, Any parent, this is not a right or left issue.
This is a right or wrong issue.
This is just a matter of common sense.
Who in the world would say it's okay to castrate your child, your young son?
I mean, that is the most insane thing.
My little daughter, she'll come up to me and she'll say, you know, I'm a bumblebee or, you know, I'm Wonder Woman.
You know, kids think they're like a million things.
Now imagine if I took her to like the doctor and said, you got to make her look like Wonder Woman because she's Wonder Woman.
I mean, of course not.
That's a child that has imagination.
You know, this is where we're at in our society.
It's so insane and it's high time that people just stand up and say, no, this is absolutely ludicrous and we're not going to tolerate this.
The problem is we've been this quote-unquote silent majority for so long, and people think that they don't have power.
It's a small group of people that are steering the ship.
And, you know, when you look at the research, I mean, 60% of America still claims, I'm not saying they actually are Christian, but they're claiming to have a relationship with God and to be Christian.
That, of course, includes Catholics as well.
But, I mean, this is millions and millions of people.
It's the majority.
But yet we don't act like the majority, Mike, and we're not going to be a Christian.
And so this is what's happening.
And so we're letting this 3%, you know, this really extreme left group railroad us and push us off the moral abyss.
That's where we are right now.
Well, that's a really important point where a lot of the churches, I mean, I've seen other pastors say, well, we have to be inclusive, we have to be tolerant.
And I'm like, tolerant to what end?
I mean, tolerant of diversity.
Mutilations?
Is that what your church stands for?
A tolerant of grooming?
Tolerant of pedophilia?
You know, are you going to have drag queen preacher hour next?
I mean, where does this go?
Well, that's just it.
I mean, the woke-ism, it's a disease, it's a cancer that is now in the body, very, very sad to say, but true, where we're seeing entire denominations capitulate and cave right now.
And trust me, even within those denominations, there's some real pastors in there that are pushing back and leaving the denomination.
I know because they call me all the time.
But a lot of pastors that do withhold, you know, stand firm on the entirety of the Word of God and preach and teach the entirety of the Word of God, they feel like they're alone.
They're often feeling like they're isolated, and that's exactly what the evil people want us to feel like, is we are alone, we're outnumbered, you know, there's nothing we can do.
That's all a lie from the pit of hell.
You know, if you think about it, when Reagan was president, he had just come in after Nixon, you know, had pretty much put us in one of the worst places—I'm sorry, Carter— Carter had put us in one of the worst places that we can imagine from an economic standpoint.
We had people in Iran that were hostages.
Our economy was really bad at that time.
And Reagan, what he did was he basically issued a national repentance.
And what happened was there was a return to biblical morality and common sense.
And what happened in that time, we saw the nation prosper, and they called it mourning in America, and all of a sudden, you know, the Soviet Union fell during the Reagan era.
We saw a lot of improvements.
Our economy rebounded.
So, you know, we've seen periods of time in our history as a country, and that's just one of them, where we looked like we were going off the cliff, and then the nation was restored.
But the key is repentance, and the key is standing by biblical values and morals.
And not caving and capitulating.
This is where pastors, they're thinking this inclusivity, like, oh, I have to be inclusive to, you know, all these ridiculous policies and, you know, all the gay agenda and everything.
No!
Look, we didn't write the Bible.
I didn't write the Bible.
I'm just a messenger.
But as a pastor, I have to stand by the Word of God because I believe it's true.
And it's the same yesterday, today, and forever, and it doesn't change.
And so, you know, if I wrote it, Mike, maybe there'd be some different things, you know, but I didn't write it, you know?
So I'm just a messenger, but we've got to stand firm.
And as you do that, you know, the church really leads.
It's supposed to be the head and not the tail.
Then you'll see a change in the culture.
Yeah, exactly.
Let me give out your website, by the way.
It's PastorTodd.org.
And people from that site, they can get to, what, your videos, the Remnant Channel, your other websites, ToddCoconato.com, and so on.
So there it is.
PastorTodd.org.
Easy to get to.
Oh, social media and so on.
But let's talk about lazy Christians here for a second, Todd, because...
Is it okay if I just call you Pastor Todd?
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
So I hear from lazy Christians sometimes, which are people who say, well, we don't have to do anything because God's going to save us.
And I'm like, okay, well, yes...
Jesus Christ is going to return, and if you declare Him to be your Savior, that's obviously a critical part of being saved.
But He doesn't want you to stand back and not stand up against evil.
I mean, you're not supposed to be a passive puppet and just do nothing.
No, you're exactly right.
I mean, even Jesus flipped the tables, if you think about it.
But here's the deal.
A lot of people, they have a message right now, like you said, God is going to save us.
Don't worry about it.
It's similar to what we talked about last time with the plan.
There's this plan and everything's going to be fine.
Here's the thing.
God would have to apologize to ancient Israel for If that were the case, because then there would be two different standards, one for America, one for Israel.
The bottom line is when a nation has idols, when we allow our unborn to be killed and murdered, the murder of the innocent, millions and millions of babies have died.
Clearly, we deserve judgment, but I believe there's a remnant that's praying in this country.
And that's probably why we're still here, because if you look at the border, you look at China, you look at what's happening in the Ukraine, all these different things.
I mean, honestly, our country is so vulnerable right now.
It's actually quite remarkable that we're even still here, that we still have the global reserve, even though it's weakening and the BRICS are coming out in August.
They're going to make some announcements, and there's a lot happening from a geopolitical standpoint on the world stage.
But even that being said, we're still here.
I don't have somebody over my shoulder that's telling me, Pastor Coconato, you can't say these things.
Praise God.
You know, we still are able to speak truth.
But the problem is...
They've imprisoned Artur Pavlovsky in Canada.
Yep, that's right.
I mean, we're next.
That's right.
It's so close.
It's happening in Western countries, Australia.
My friend Dr.
Rodney Howard Brown was arrested during the pandemic simply for holding services.
You know, you could look it up.
And praise God, he's been having revival ever since at his church, and they have church every single night, which is amazing.
But let me just say this.
I mean, the problem is people think that, you know, everything's just going to be – you don't have to do anything.
And that's not the way it works, is that the Bible says, If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways.
Now, there's two things in that scripture that are very important.
He says, My people – So it doesn't have to be the whole country that repents, but the body of Christ has to repent.
And the first thing that we have to do is identify there's something wrong.
You know, we've made celebrity Christianity an idol.
We've made man an idol.
We believe in this.
I call it microwave Christianity, where everything just comes right away.
We don't have to pray.
We don't have to fast.
We don't have to repent.
This is the easy message, Mike, that they've been putting out there.
And so it sounds really good.
And let me just say this.
The Bible talks about tickle-ear preachers, and people want their ears tickled.
Well, there's also tickle-ear prophets, by the way.
And these are people that prophesy things that sound really good.
It's like, oh, yeah, that's awesome.
If you look at the prophets in the Bible, most of them were being chased out of the town.
People didn't want to hear what they had to say because they were warning and they were calling the people to repentance.
And listen, that's not always the most popular message, but the deal is it's the right message.
And if we actually do it, God will restore our land.
So there is a path to having the country restored.
I haven't lost hope for the United States of America, but the truth is we're going to have to get to work.
Well, yeah, I want to ask you about that next, but I love your metaphor of the microwave Christianity.
It's like the microwave popcorn with the fake butter and everything.
It's like, pop it in, you know, 60 seconds, it's all good.
Or however long it takes.
I don't know, I haven't used a microwave in 20 years, so...
I actually had trouble using a microwave the other day at another location.
I was like, how do you start this thing?
I was like, oh my god.
We've got to figure out how to wake Christians up to the importance of this, because if we sit back and do nothing, we're just going to be overrun by all of this Satanism.
And it's just in the face now.
It's in all our faces right now.
Just this pure evil on the streets.
It's out there.
I mean, it's easy to say, okay, everybody read Scripture.
Everybody go to church.
Do this.
But...
That's not enough, it seems.
I mean, that's necessary, but what do we need to do beyond that, Pastor Todd?
There's a lot we need to do.
Everybody's got a specific calling.
I'll use you as an example.
I mean, here you are, you have Brighton, you started this amazing network where people can go and hear free speech and actually have free thought conversations, thank God.
You know, everybody has a passion or something that God's put in your heart.
And so, you know, you've done multiple things.
I've done multiple things.
But to everyone who's watching this and you say, what can I do?
That's the biggest question I get.
Everywhere I speak around the country, people say, Pastor Todd, what can we do?
You know, the country's in peril.
You know, we're so concerned.
Well, everybody has an individual gift, something that God's given you.
I know some mechanics in the area near where I live.
They opened up their mechanic shop on Friday night to have Bible studies, and they're impacting the community.
I know a coffee shop owner in town.
They're doing mentoring and discipleship at their coffee shop.
They're believers.
We've got to do something.
I know a lot of people are going to the school board meetings, the community meetings, and they're speaking up.
We did it here in Nashville, and it actually got national attention in the media because they were saying we were chasing people out to the car, which was a bunch of nonsense.
That didn't happen at all.
But what was happening was that the parents actually showed up, and that's what they weren't used to is that all of a sudden there was like a full room of parents that were saying, hey, we don't like this curriculum.
We don't like what you're teaching our children, and they didn't know how to respond because they weren't used to seeing parents get involved.
So this is the key.
It's the local action that has the national impact.
General Flynn talks about that often, but that's the key.
We just got to get involved.
We can't be silent because when you're silent, there's a vacuum and then the radical elements come in.
We need to be present.
We need to be involved.
Everybody has a specific calling that you can do.
Of course, fast, pray.
We need intercessors.
We need people praying and fasting.
The churches should be opened up.
Pastors, if you're watching, open up nights of prayer.
We got these beautiful buildings, million-dollar buildings, and a lot of times they're only open on Sunday.
That's nonsense.
God has given us resources.
We need to steward them.
And that means we've got to open the church.
Back in the day, when our country was founded, the church was involved in education.
They were involved in government.
It was a very present force in the American culture.
And it wasn't weird.
This wasn't a weird thing.
The founders believed in this, in the inalienable rights that were given to us by God, not by government.
We've strayed so far from that.
And we're now at a point where we're losing our rights and our freedoms.
And so if we don't get involved at this point, it's going to get really bad from here on out, Mike.
Yeah, I completely agree.
I've got more questions for you, including, I think, maybe an impossible question.
But first, remind our audience, what time is your show on Bright Town TV? Absolutely.
We're on Sundays in the morning, actually in the afternoon at 1 o'clock.
Sundays at 1 o'clock on Brighteon TV. 1 o'clock Eastern?
I believe so.
Okay, okay.
So check that out, folks, at brighteon.tv with Pastor Todd Coconato and also, of course, 50-plus other amazing hosts and guests throughout the week and on weekends.
But Sunday tends to be a lot more spiritual shows and Christian shows and pastors and so on.
And I'm so happy that we're able to carry that.
You know, that wasn't an easy thing either, to make sure that we were able to have enough staff and just to be able to operate on Sundays.
But, you know, Bob Denny, I remember he called me one day, he's like, we've got to have Sunday content for all the Christians.
He's like, you know, can we do this?
Can we do that?
I'm like, yes, yes, let's just do it, like whatever it takes.
Let's just do it.
You know, and even if nobody watches on day one, people will learn about it and people will watch.
So thank you, Pastor Todd.
Thank you.
I'm telling you, I go on airplanes and I'll sit next to somebody and they'll say, I watch you on Brighton TV. So it's pretty amazing.
You know, a lot of people are watching and, you know, the legacy media is, I mean, they're hemorrhaging because, I mean, look what's happening with Fox and, you know, Tucker Carlson just coming out and Pulling the band-aid off and exposing all the corruption within the media, even the so-called right side of the media.
So Breitian, this is what's emerging is the alternative media, and more and more people are listening because we can actually speak freely.
What a concept, right?
Yeah, and we are principled, and our principal driving force is not profit.
Thank God.
So that gives us the freedom to do what's right.
You know, to do what matters for humanity.
But let me ask you this impossible question, Pastor Todd.
And I'm framing it that way, so I'm giving you an out in case it's needed.
But I'm curious about the granularity of God's wrath on America.
So I believe that America is going to be judged.
But I genuinely wonder...
Is it the whole nation?
Are there parts that will escape the judgment?
If you leave a demonically infested city and you get out to some part of America where people still respect God, are you maybe safer from God's wrath?
I know it's a crazy question, but how does it probably work?
Yeah, well, I think what you're saying is actually very wise because, to your point, there are going to be areas that are safer.
I mean, think about, like, being in a city center in, like, Los Angeles or New York, and let's just say there's a dollar collapse, okay?
I mean, those areas are going to be the hot points.
I mean, listen, I was in L.A. during the L.A. riots, okay?
You better have, you know, the proper protection.
That's all I can say because there comes a point where the first responders are inundated, and that's why the Second Amendment is so important.
Because, you know, when there's a collapse of that, you know, I had it in the earthquake in 91 or 94, I think it was, you know, when the riots happened in L.A. There was I mean, you called the police.
No one would come, you know, and I'm not talking hours.
I'm talking no one like no one's going to come, you know.
So I think there are places and I think people need to really pray and ask the Lord, you know, if they're meant to leave some of these city centers and some of these places we did.
The Lord actually called us to Nashville, which we pastored in Los Angeles for many years.
Yeah, you know, it's a good city.
There's a lot of patriots here.
It's a big 2A state.
You know, there's a lot of good things that are going on here from a spiritual standpoint.
And so I do believe, I mean, you know, obviously it's a difficult question to answer and I don't really have the for sure answer, but I think there's a way that we can operate in wisdom.
You know, if you look at what happened with the British, you know, they had the pound sterling and the country didn't go away, but they lost their global reserve status.
And, Then, of course, the United States got it and the dollar got it.
So we've had the global reserve our whole lives.
Now, right now, there's major cracks in the ceiling.
I know you've been talking about it on your show.
It could be next year.
It could be next month.
It could be 10 years from now.
But if you look at what the World Economic Forum is saying, they're saying that the United States is going to be one of many, that we're not going to be the great superpower of the world.
And you already see China, which is basically being set up to eclipse us.
And so there's...
I mean, now look what's even happening.
Xi Jinping's going around as a peace broker.
I mean, who would have ever thought that, right?
I mean, the U.S. and the Western allies are looking at China to broker peace in the Ukraine.
That's unbelievable, you know?
So we see there's a changing world order.
We don't know how it's all going to happen.
But what I see is more of a diminished United States, a diminished dollar or even a completely different currency, which is probably likely it might still be called the dollar, but it may be what happened with the British pound sterling.
And so we need to be prepared for these type of events.
Again, they might not happen tomorrow.
We shouldn't live in fear of it.
But this is just wisdom, because if you look at the data and all the information that you and I look at, Mike, this is what's happening unless something major happens to stop it.
Well, and just look at history.
You know, there was a time when the Roman Empire was the most powerful empire on earth.
There was a time when the British Empire was the most powerful.
Now the British Empire, I mean, even their own people say the military could fight for one week.
That's right.
Against, you know, against Russia.
They have, what, they have one aircraft carrier, I think, and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
And it's called Queen Elizabeth, which, you know, it's like, okay, it's dead in the water sometimes.
Well, you know, history shows you the rise and fall of nations and empires and civilizations.
So I don't understand how somebody can say, oh, it's just doom and gloom to think that America is going to fade from its global dominance.
Like, what, you think America?
That the way America is being run is going to last forever when the American empire bullies the world over its currency and just keeps printing more currency and is engaged in wars and occupation and military bases in a hundred countries.
Really?
You think that's going to last forever?
Read history!
That's right.
I think that's the problem.
A lot of people don't.
The Bible says there's nothing new under the sun, and that's exactly right.
A smart man learns from his own mistakes.
A wise man learns from others.
Look at the history, and you can clearly see what's probably going to happen.
But here's the thing.
I do think we could have a soft landing, or we could have a really hard landing.
And that's kind of depending on how long they're able to hold this thing together.
Maybe President Trump gets back in.
And somehow is able to open the oil reserves and, you know, there's a way that we can kind of have a softer landing, you know, maybe back the dollar.
I mean, there's always a solution.
You know, I mean, imagine if Trump were to come in and say we're going to back the dollar with gold, we're going to get rid of the Fed, and we're going to open all the, you know, the oil in our whole country, you know, the shale, everything.
You know, and become energy independent again.
And I mean, there's always, you know, bring back jobs, bring back manufacturing.
The problem is, is that people think there's no hope.
There's no way.
There is a hope.
There is a way.
This is what's happening right now is planned.
They're planning to bring down the United States as the global superpower.
And this is where a lot of people just don't understand that, you know.
It's a really good point.
It actually takes a lot of effort to deliberately tear down America.
I mean, think about all the people that are trying to crush the nation in the Biden administration or, you know, the banksters or whoever.
They're sabotage of the food plants, taking down the energy infrastructure, all of it.
They're trying so hard.
They still haven't succeeded.
That's pretty remarkable.
If somebody were in charge that actually loved this country, and I know that Trump loves this country, I know that RFK Jr.
loves this country, so there's two people right there, that either one of them could probably stop the hemorrhaging.
Yep.
I mean, that's it.
The leadership that we see now, or the quote-unquote leadership, was kind of a joke, is really just beholden to the special interests, the corporations, and the globalist policies.
And so that's what we're seeing happening right now.
So, of course, it's able to be turned around, but I think that's why President Trump had so much resistance, because I don't even think he realized how deep the corruption was.
No, I didn't know it.
Yeah, you know, so he just got blindsided by that.
I think he thought that being president, he'd have more power, and then all of a sudden he saw just how deep it is.
So, you know, it's going to take a real awakening, but that goes back to the spiritual end of it.
So, you know, you asked a really good question, what's going to happen in the country?
Here's the thing, the church is going to be here still.
The church is going to be here until Christ comes.
Whether it's pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, the church is going to remain.
And so that's the good news.
And so if you're part of the church, part of the body of Christ, you've given your heart to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the bottom line is you're a citizen of heaven.
You know, we're in the world, but we're not of the world.
And the Bible says to occupy until He comes.
He says He's with us even until the end of the age.
So the good news is I can wake up every day and even knowing all the stuff that we're talking about, I can still have a peace and a rest knowing that God is with us and he will give us strategy.
You know, if it goes to the point where everything gets just really crazy, you know, we could trade and barter.
I mean, we could, you know, there's different ways that God is going to provide just like he provided for the people of Israel, you know, in the desert places.
Thank you for that reminder, Pastor Todd.
Thank you for that.
Because I needed that reminder too.
Because you're right.
God presents us with options.
There are so many times I've moved forward in my own life with blind faith.
And I was asking, how on earth does this ever get completed?
How do we cross this bridge?
How do we overcome this obstacle?
And I didn't know.
And there are things I don't know now.
But time and time again, I've found that if you put one foot forward, you keep moving forward, then the other end of that bridge materializes by divine intervention.
Yes.
That has happened again and again and again.
So you're right.
I shouldn't question that.
My faith isn't 100% sometimes, right?
I don't think anybody's is.
That's the good news.
Without faith, it's impossible to please God.
But with the faith of a mustard seed, we can move the mountains.
So imagine if we do have big faith.
I just think back to all the times God's come through in my life.
I don't know if you know my story, but I was stabbed nine times at the age of 23.
He spared my life.
Everybody's got some type of story and testimony.
If you just think of all the times that God's come through, you know, and honestly, it's every time because I'm still here.
You know, there were times when it looked like there was no way out, no way that I was going to get through that situation.
And yet God made a way.
So the good that is the good news.
Jesus is the hope of glory.
And that's why we got to get back to our roots and our faith, because, you know, that's Even those in leadership in this country, there are certain things that God will do when it seems like it's impossible.
And that's why the nation has to return back.
If the people of God, if President Trump, and I've actually asked some of the people around him to relay this message to him, but, you know, if he were to come out and say, I'm declaring a National Day of Prayer and Repentance, I think that would be a huge deal.
Because the key is that if the leadership...
Even the leadership of the Republican Party were to say, look, we're in dire straits when it comes to where we are spiritually as a country, but we're going to call upon the name of the Lord.
The Bible says those who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
So that's how America became this great country that we're protecting and we're trying to stand up for, is because America chose God.
Israel was chosen by God.
America chose God.
But we've got to return back to that.
And we've gotten so far from that, that we're literally shipping out.
We're telling other countries in our policy, hey, if you, you know, abide by this transgender policy, we'll give you money.
Or, you know, if you abide by, you know, killing babies, you know, we'll give you some.
I mean, this is how crazy it's gotten.
And then people think that God's going to bless our country.
No, like you said, we're in line for judgment unless the leadership of the body of Christ and the leadership of the country calls the people to repentance.
And we as a people actually realize, yeah, we've made idols.
We've gotten off course, but we're going to turn back to God.
And that's how we're going to see the answer.
Well, it's just that I completely agree with what you just said there, Pastor Todd.
It's that the judgment, the type of judgments that are mentioned in the Bible are pretty large area effect type of systems.
It's just like, you know, burning mountains, falling out of the sky, a third of the ocean.
You know, like it's not very localized.
And you have a sense of humor, so I can say this to you.
But another guest here in studio gave me the silver bullet the other day.
Yes, it's an actual it's made out of silver.
It's like a.308 Winchester round.
And I was joking.
I was like, so when do we start having to shoot reanimated hellish ghouls that come through demon portals?
This would be really useful for that.
But it's like, if we don't change, God's wrath will be unleashed against us.
And I don't feel like...
None of us will be spared from the effects of that in some way.
Right.
Can I just be super real right now?
You always are that way, so go for it.
Here's the deal, man.
When you get a certain level, and I know you'll understand what I'm saying, especially in the Christian world and the preacher world, you get to a certain number of followers and people start knowing about the ministry.
What happens is you can get sucked in to this whole subculture that Of like, you know, all of a sudden it's about money and power and likes and follows.
And what happens is a lot of people dole down their message.
Like what I say is this message that I'm giving right now, this is like a donor suicide message, okay?
Because, you know, people aren't going to say, hey, Pastor Coconuto's saying we're going to be judged.
Let me go send him a thousand bucks, you know?
The truth is that people send the money when you have this really hopeful, oh, I like this guy.
I'm going to send him a check.
But I just got to keep it real.
I can't worry about the money.
You know what I'm saying?
And this is the problem is a lot of people, they start off well and they get sucked into this thing.
And then they stop speaking the truth.
And the reality is, it's not about money.
It's not about likes.
This is about, I mean, what I'm looking at right now is my daughter, okay, and what kind of country she's going to have.
I'm looking at what are we going to even do two or three years from now if this isn't stopped in the direction that we're headed.
To me, it's like a very urgent matter to speak truth and let the cards fall where they may, but I've got to stand before the throne one day.
You know what I'm saying, Mike?
Yeah.
I've got to answer to God.
I can't let those other things dictate how I'm going to preach or what I'm going to say.
Yeah, but I think I need to correct you, Pastor Todd, because I thought in Matthew 13, verse 2, doesn't it say, Maximize your likes?
Can you imagine Jesus going around and, hey, follow me.
Right, right.
Selfies, get more selfies.
Man.
Yeah.
See, that's why people stop discipling.
You know, the Great Commission, which is literally, other than, like, love thy neighbor and love, you know, show them your love, you know, because the Bible says we're known by our love, we're known by our fruit.
But then the other part of it is, like, go into all the nations and baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
That's the Great Commission.
That word go in the Greek is ekbalo.
It means to go out, to cast out, and to drive out.
That's what Christians are meant to do.
We're meant to go out, we're meant to cast out the demonic, we're meant to drive out the forces of darkness, and we're meant to stand.
And this is why the church was targeted during the pandemic.
They wanted to shut down the church because the devil knows the authority is in the body of Christ.
They didn't shut down the strip clubs.
They didn't shut down Target or Walmart.
They shut down the church.
That's why.
And so the whole thing is like, it's not about likes and follows and power and money and, you know, all those things, you know, whatever.
If you have them, that's great.
I'm not like judging you.
But the key is it comes down to what is God asking us to do?
And the reason why a lot of people stop discipling and mentoring is to your point.
They can't sit there and be like, hey, look at me.
I'm discipling Johnny here at the start, you know, at the coffee shop or whatever.
No, they're not getting any accolades for that.
So that's why they're not doing it, you know.
And that's so sad because thank God for the one or two people when I was coming out of the world that poured into my life.
And I don't think I'd be here today if they didn't, you know.
Right.
There's a point where it has to be real to be effective.
And the time for just theater or just theatrics is really ending.
And we are at, I think, a tipping point, a very dire situation for this country.
And also, I mean, I know you came out of the Hollywood scene.
You lived in California.
So you saw...
I want to ask you about the affliction of addiction in our society today.
There are so many people who are turning to substances.
And I don't just mean street drugs, by the way.
I also mean that regular adults who are on psychiatric drugs and they become dependent on those drugs, they think, in order for them to operate.
And we become an addicted society, but the addiction is to the wrong things.
How do we heal that?
I mean, because you saw a lot of that in California.
Any suggestions?
Yeah, I mean, Jesus in the Bible, one of the things he did was deliverance.
You know, a lot of people need deliverance, and unfortunately, not a lot of people are talking about deliverance.
I'm happy to hear that it's more talked about now, but it's a lot of, you know, a lot of people are scared.
A lot of pastors don't even know how to get somebody delivered.
But here's the thing, okay?
You can't fix a spiritual problem with a chemical solution.
And this is what a lot of people have tried to do.
So somebody comes into the office and, you know, they say, "I'm having mental issues.
I'm having depression," you know, and that's a very real thing.
And so what the doctor will do is they'll give them the psychotropic drug.
And again, I'm not against all drugs.
I want to make that very clear.
I mean, there are some things that help and praise God for that.
But the thing is, is that a lot of times this is a spiritual matter and it's not being addressed by the local church.
And so this is the problem.
So a lot of people have gone to, you mentioned a lot of addictions, opioids, fentanyl, mollies, ecstasy, you know, even marijuana.
I mean, cocaine, I can go on and on.
There's so many people right now that have family members probably that are watching this that have family members that you love that are addicted.
And we're not even talking about it in the church.
And this is what I think is happening, is that this is an hour for the prodigals and the misfits, and those that were least likely, that God is raising up in this hour.
And it's not going to be the prim and proper person that looks like, I call them self-righteous super saints, you know?
Time is done.
People are looking for real.
They're looking for authentic.
We got to talk about these things.
We got to get people healed.
We got to get them delivered.
That's why our phones are ringing off the hook.
That's why we just had our first service in Nashville literally out of the blue in person.
You know, I pastored in L.A. for 17 years and we came out here.
We just opened a revival center here.
This is like insane.
The first time we opened, it was completely full.
Why?
Because people are hungry.
And they want answers, and they want the truth, and they want authenticity.
You don't need the smoke machines and all the hoopla, okay?
They just want somebody who's real, and they just want to hear the truth.
And this is a good thing.
I think you're right.
We are at a tipping point.
And so maybe if we just start being real, I don't know how that's going to look, but I do know that he's faithful.
The thing about God, Mike, this is the craziest thing about him.
He is super consistent.
Like, he lays it out exactly what he wants and exactly what he expects, you know?
And it's like, you know, it doesn't change, like, every day to where we're not going to know.
Like, he's laid it out.
This is what I want of you.
And if you do this, you'll be blessed and I'll give you my favor, you know?
Well, right.
And also...
He can work miraculously fast, right?
So we can turn this thing around more quickly than perhaps any of us could imagine when God intervenes and helps us.
And we don't have to do all the heavy lifting ourselves.
I think that's a critical thing that people need to understand.
Because even people ask me, how are we going to save America?
And it's like...
Well, first of all, it can't be just us.
It's got to be not just we the people, but God is on our side, and we need to ask for His help, His protection, His guidance, His wisdom, in order to make it through this.
And with that, anything is possible.
And it doesn't necessarily take a generation to restore things.
I mean, seriously, Pastor Todd...
What if a lot of what we're seeing with addiction and mental health and all the pedophilia and everything...
What if that is demon infestation that is infecting people's minds and that God or Christ could just appear and say, you know, demons out.
And what if the demons left these people in one instant...
It would change from that moment.
It happens all the time.
We go to tent meetings.
People leave their drug sacks at the altar.
I see them healed.
They write us.
They tell us a testimony.
My life has changed.
My marriage was restored.
Everything has changed from that one day when you gave your heart to the Lord.
That's the whole thing.
What you're saying is the gospel message.
It's absolutely available.
And I think, you know, the thing is, it's like, you know, it gets overwhelming when we think about everything in the macro, but revival starts in our heart.
What if we were just, you know, I can't affect what, even my own wife, ultimately she's going to do what she wants.
You know, those of you that are married know what I'm talking about, but she's a great woman.
But, you know, I can't control her.
You know, she's going to do what she wants.
But the thing is, is like, if I am a good husband, if I... I'm somebody who is righteous, and the way that I live, it affects her, it affects my family, and it just goes out from there.
And so, what if we are the change?
What if we start today, and if everybody, I mean, you have a huge reach, and your audience is, you know, you have a lot of people, like the audience that are watching, you could go and talk to all the people in your circles.
Just think of how many people right there, you know, can be affected today.
If we get this thing right, that's why I say it's a spiritual battle, because that's what God cares about.
From the beginning of time, He's been looking for people that trust Him.
He says, trust in the Lord with all your heart.
Lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path.
So we can't change everything, but we can change our own situation by the way that we respond to it.
This is why I love to have you on, Pastor Todd, because you speak to people where they are.
You're never condescending.
You're never trying to put people in a place where you think that you're higher than they are because you're a pastor.
And we've all seen some of that out there before.
You welcome people to come in and share where they are and learn.
And, you know, advance their knowledge of Christ and God's miracles in our lives.
And you are authentic.
And you've been through the ringer on a lot of things in your life.
I mean, again, you were almost stabbed to death.
And so you know the power of when God protects you and gives you purpose in your life.
That's real.
That counts.
So that means a lot to me.
And the whole thing is like, that's what I was looking for is realness.
You know, I mean, honestly, I've been thinking about even writing a book about that.
But, you know, I've met all these people like, are you real?
Are you real?
You know, that's been what I've been trying to find, even within the church.
And I know a lot of people understand what I'm saying.
And the truth is, I'm not better than anybody else.
I mean, he saved a wretch like me, and I was totally messed up.
And what he's done for me, he'll do for everybody watching.
And that is the message of the gospel.
And the fact is, this is the reality.
Once we get to that point, we understand this is the reality of the world.
There is a God.
He is the creator.
He's outside of the constraints of time.
And, you know, Satan is a fallen archangel.
The God that we serve is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords.
He's never stepped down from the throne.
So it's a fixed fight, and ultimately we're on the winning team.
So imagine if we start acting like winners and we actually do what the Bible says to do.
It would be a game-changer.
Yeah, well said.
I think that level of power and authenticity in your message is exactly what we need.
That's why I'm so thrilled to have you on Brighttown.tv and to be able to speak with you today.
Any final thoughts you want to leave our audience with as we wrap this up?
I mean, this has been really powerful.
You've given people a lot to think about, but what's the takeaway?
Well, first of all, the honor is mine, and I just appreciate everything that you're doing.
And secondly, I mean, I think the takeaway is we've tried the rest.
Now let's try the best.
You know, it's like we put our hope.
Look, I was very involved during the Trump campaign.
I love President Trump.
I mean, obviously he has some flaws, you know, but I mean, I did everything that I could in the political arena.
But ultimately what I realized is that the spotlight is on the church.
And it's really up to us.
What are we going to do in this hour?
Like I said, imagine if all the churches in the community open their church up for prayer nights and You know, to actually reached out and did what we're supposed to do, it would be a game changer.
And I really believe that's what God's looking for.
And so what we got to think about is what can I do to be the change?
And you know what?
There's always hope.
And that's the good news.
You know, there's always hope.
And, you know, we didn't even get into the rapture, you know, but a lot of people are like, well, I don't need to worry about it because I'm going to be raptured out of here.
The whole thing is like we need to do everything we can do until that moment.
If it's pre-trib, great.
If it's mid-trib, great.
Whatever it is.
But I'd rather be prepared in my mind.
This is a time for warriors.
It's a warrior class that God is raising up in this hour.
And many of you have been through really hard things in your life, but you're still here.
And you're going to make it.
You're going to make it.
So hold on.
The best thing you can do is get on fire for the Lord and ask Him every day, what can I do to be about your business today?
And He will guide us in just the amazing way that He does.
His sweet Holy Spirit will speak to our hearts.
And we just do that.
And if we do that, we're going to be okay.
You know, so the key is don't get overwhelmed.
You know, the only time you lose is when you give up.
So we just keep pressing ahead and we just keep doing what we're meant to do.
And God is with us.
Wow.
Wow, that's a really timely and profound message.
Thanks for sharing that with us, Pastor Todd.
I think your timing is perfect.
This is exactly what we need to hear.
A lot of people do feel a sense of helplessness right now, a sense of even desperation about where our world is headed.
But, as you just said...
We keep marching forward in faith with our principles.
Do not compromise your principles.
Do not compromise your faith and know that you are never alone.
We win this thing.
We win it big.
And we can win it suddenly, actually.
100%.
I mean, think about the part that a lot of preachers never talk about.
We're going to rule and reign with Jesus Christ for all eternity.
We're going to walk streets of gold.
Like, we're just passing through here.
To live is Christ, to die is gain.
So, hold on.
Be encouraged.
The best thing you can do is make sure you're right with God today.
Alright, well said.
Pastor Todd Coconato, we love you.
