	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Friday, May 19th, 2023.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And wow, do we have an incredible lineup for you here.
	The first interview segment for today will feature Steve Bannon.
	Yes, the Steve Bannon from the War Room.
	And he'll be joining us for about 30 minutes to talk about the issues plaguing our country and our world.
	I get to ask him anything, absolutely anything that I want.
	Of course, Steve Bannon, super high IQ individual, extremely well-informed.
	He does a daily show himself and has interviewed, I don't know how many thousands of people over the years.
	So it's going to be interesting to see what his take is on issues, including Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., among others.
	Then also, later on today, we're going to have an interview with Jason Crow, who is the founder of Cordal, which is a distributed applications and communications platform that bypasses centralized censorship or any kind of centralized control whatsoever. which is a distributed applications and communications platform that bypasses And this is part of my deep dive into decentralized money, decentralized currencies, and also decentralized applications and content distribution.
	So I think you'll find that to be a really fascinating interview.
	In addition, by the way, right now taking place in central Texas is the John Bush event, the Exit and Build Land Summit.
	If you want to watch the speeches that are continuing over the weekend, just go to freedominthecountry.com.
	Freedom in the country dot com and that will take you to this page where you can register.
	There is a charge for a virtual ticket, but it's a very reasonable charge and you'll get to hear from lots of experts and a lot of people talking about permaculture, growing food, living off grid, restoring freedom, lots of things like that.
	Very much worth your time if those topics are of interest to you.
	So freedominthecountry.com is the website where you can find out more about that.
	We had John Bush in studio, I think, two weeks ago, and had a fascinating conversation with him at that time.
	All right.
	Now, getting to today's big breaking bombshell news.
	Actually, there are several things happening.
	But let me start out with this.
	Well, of course, as always, we start at censored.news.
	I just want you to know I post all the headlines there that I think are really important, and I usually bold the ones that One of the top stories that's on my radar right now...
	It's from the defender at Children's Health Defense.
	New York to track residents' food purchases and place caps on meat served by public institutions.
	So here's a subhead which is important.
	New York City will begin tracking the carbon footprint of household food consumption and putting caps on how much red meat can be served in public institutions as part of a sweeping initiative to achieve a 33% reduction in carbon emissions.
	I've had a few people say, when I've been talking about food rationing coming to America, a few people, oblivious people, say, oh, that'll never happen, there won't be food rationing.
	Folks, this is the opening salvo of that right here.
	New York City to track residents' food purchases.
	If they're going to track them, it's because they intend to limit them.
	They intend to limit them.
	They're saying they're going to limit your purchases of meat.
	So they're going to track your purchases household by household.
	I'm not sure exactly how they're going to achieve that.
	But through centralized control over money, such as banking systems, food stamps, debit cards, credit cards, whatever...
	And also, by the way, grocery store loyalty cards, which track your purchases, they can aggregate all these different sources of data, and they can find out how much meat you have purchased, and then the next step is to limit how much meat you're allowed to purchase.
	Oh, you've hit your meat limit.
	That's too much.
	Sorry about that.
	No more for you.
	New York City will begin tracking the carbon footprint of household food consumption, putting caps on how much red meat.
	Mayor Eric Adams, no relation by the way, and representatives from the Mayor's Office of Food Policy and the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice.
	That gives you a hint right there of how this is going to be framed.
	This is all about, quote, environmental justice.
	How dare you have a hamburger?
	You have to be obedient to environmental justice.
	This new program has been announced at a Brooklyn culinary center run by New York City Health Plus Hospitals.
	So you see, this is going to be pushed as a climate issue and a health issue.
	How dare you want to eat meat?
	That is simply not allowed.
	So this story talks about Agarwala, who founded Google Smart City subsidiary Sidewalk Labs, again tied into the Google spy machine, celebrated the expanded data collection as forging, quote, a new standard for what cities have to do.
	So you see, they have to spy on you.
	They have to limit your food.
	They have to engage in rationing.
	In their minds, that's what they think.
	And so if you thought food rationing wasn't coming to America, you were wrong.
	And frankly, you were naive, because it's coming, it's right around the corner.
	And once they have a central bank digital currency, by the way, the CBDC, then they will be able to track food purchases person by person, not just household by household.
	And then they can limit your personal purchases, and they can even limit your purchases of gasoline.
	Oh, you thought it was going to stop with food rationing?
	No, no, no.
	It'll be gasoline rationing too because, of course, you're burning fossil fuels and that's not good for climate justice, right?
	So they will place limits on everything that they don't want you to buy.
	And eventually, because they also don't want you to be self-reliant, they could just place limits on your purchases of garden seeds or garden tools or anything.
	Of course, firearms and ammunition.
	But think about what they could limit you from being able to purchase.
	And this is why I'm such a proponent now of decentralization, which includes decentralized money and decentralized content, which is why we're going to have Jason Crow on here to talk to him about Cordell.
	But you can see where all this is going.
	All the signs are right there.
	Quote, this is from Mayor Adams of New York City.
	Quote, Right after buildings and transportation.
	He is saying that food, that if you eat food, you're polluting the world.
	Do you understand what he's saying?
	Do you understand that the war on carbon is a war on you?
	Because you're made of carbon.
	It's a war on you.
	He's saying it.
	Food is a source of cities' emissions.
	He's saying food is pollution, and therefore food has to be partially eradicated.
	That's what this is all about.
	He says...
	The vast majority of food contributing to our emission crisis, which is another lie, lies in meat and dairy products.
	That is, of course, utterly false, by the way.
	Complete fabrication, total junk science fraud to make such a statement.
	There is not an emission crisis from cow farts, okay?
	It's a total fabrication.
	And the real problem with, quote, emissions in our world, by the way, is the actual pollution coming from These industries such as the pharmaceutical industry that dumps their pharmaceutical products into the rivers and the streams and ultimately the oceans and the cities like New York City that gather up all the human sludge, the sewage, and they dump it on the farms.
	Mayor Adams, you are the polluter.
	You're gathering up all the human feces with all the pharmaceuticals and the birth control chemicals in it and all the chemotherapy and all the cocaine and whatever people flush down the toilets in New York City.
	And you're putting that on trucks and driving it out and dumping it on farms.
	You're polluting the food supply with all of your feces and sewage from your filthy city that you refuse to clean up, by the way.
	But he wants to say that food is the problem?
	No, food is not the problem.
	Food is part of the solution.
	Real food, grown by real people.
	Decentralized food is the solution.
	It's centralized authoritarian tyrants like Eric Adams that are the problem here.
	And by the way, he's allowing New York City to be overrun by illegals.
	And he just said something so shocking.
	He said that 50% of the hotel rooms in New York City are now occupied by migrants.
	Which means illegal aliens who cross the border illegally.
	50% of the hotel rooms in New York City occupied by illegals.
	I guess so much for the tourism industry in New York City.
	You can't get a room.
	It's already overrun by illegals who aren't even paying for it, by the way.
	If I were a hotel owner in New York City, I would be losing my mind right now.
	But then again, I would have sold it and left New York City years ago, and it would not be a hotel owner in New York City.
	But you can see where all this is going.
	Basically, the entire city is going to be completely overrun, and there will be free food for the illegals, but no food for you.
	No soup for you!
	Eric Adams is the soup Nazi from Seinfeld, yes.
	No soup for you!
	He takes it away as George cringes.
	It's just incredible.
	And of course, if food is a pollutant, then if you eat food, you are a polluter, you see, in the minds of these climate lunatics on the left.
	And this is where they're taking this.
	Ultimately, they have to get rid of you.
	How are they doing that?
	More vaccines.
	Did you see that the FDA is in the process of approving mRNA injections for flu shots?
	Or maybe they already have flu shots.
	So transhumanism, transgenetic flu shots.
	Just in case you are still too human so far, If you want to be a little less human, keep taking the flu shots year after year while your percentage of being human continues to decline, which is exactly what they have in mind, to where you're just some kind of a beast that they can kill off through extermination programs.
	But yes, this is happening.
	The food rationing, the early stages of it are underway, the tracking, and the actual rationing will kick in very soon.
	This is why you need to learn how to grow your own food.
	Go visit Marjorie Wildcraft's website, icangrowfood.com, and she'll teach you how to grow food very inexpensively, icangrowfood.com.
	Alright, now yesterday on the broadcast, I talked about how the federal government, how they've become the terrorists, that they're running the terrorist ops across America.
	And that Patriot Front Group, which is just a bunch of FBI stooges dressed up in khaki pants and white masks and toting American flags.
	You notice how they're never arrested?
	You notice how they're never charged with insurrection?
	You notice how you can never see their faces?
	Because it's all feds.
	It's feds pretending to be like a militant right-wing group so they can project that narrative.
	It's so obvious, it's almost comical.
	Well, what do the feds really plan to do to take even more power from We the People?
	I think they plan some kind of massive false flag terrorism event such as a major explosion.
	And right on cue, here from Breitbart.com, 60,000 pounds of explosive ammonium nitrate missing from a train in California.
	Someone has apparently hijacked or lifted or stolen 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate, which is a fertilizer, by the way, missing from a rail shipment that was due to arrive in California from Wyoming.
	So here it is, a rail car loaded with 30 tons of this chemical left Cheyenne on April 12th.
	The car was found to be empty.
	After it arrived two weeks later, that seems like a long time for a train to go from Wyoming to California, but whatever, at a rail stop in the Mojave Desert, according to an incident report from the explosives firm that made the shipment.
	So let's understand what's happening here, folks.
	So 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate just vanished from a train shipment.
	So the train got, I mean, you can't really say hijacked.
	I mean, no one stopped the train, it doesn't sound like.
	But somewhere along the way, someone unloaded this ammonium nitrate.
	Now, that ammonium nitrate now that it is apparently stolen is untraceable for the most part.
	I know there are chemical...
	You know, chemical tests and so on that might be able to trace it back to which original fertilizer plant created it, but you can't tie it to a specific owner or company or anything like that.
	So somebody has 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate.
	How much you want to bet, it's the feds.
	How much you want to bet that they are planning a major terrorism event, which the FBI is known for.
	The FBI carries out more terror plots in America than any other agency or any other group, period.
	I mean, I've talked about stories in the Kansas City Star admitting that.
	The New York Times has talked about that over the years.
	Just search New York Times for FBI terror plots or search the Kansas City Star, FBI terror plots.
	Nobody plots more acts of terrorism than the FBI. Not radical Islamic extremists, not, you know...
	The Patriot Front, not even militant trannies carry out as much terrorism as the FBI. So now they have 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate missing from a train.
	What do you suppose they plan to do with that?
	Now, I'm obviously not any kind of expert in explosives.
	I don't know what kind of damage could be caused with 60,000 pounds of this stuff, but it sounds like a lot.
	It sounds like, let's say if you could fit, I mean, you know, I run a food operation and we have beans and things, so I kind of know how much a pallet weighs.
	So let's say a pallet, you could have, let's say, 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate on a pallet, right?
	So would that be 12 pallets of explosives, 12 pallets of If they detonated all that at once, could that be a big bada boom?
	Absolutely it could be.
	They could blow up something massive with that.
	They could blow up a building, a bridge, a port.
	I don't know.
	What else would be their targets?
	A stadium?
	I don't know.
	I mean, there's no limit to what they will do.
	That's the point, is that our terrorist government, they are now using psychological terrorism and domestic terrorism and...
	You know, false flag operations to try to maintain this narrative that there are radical white nationalists or Christian nationalists or white supremacists who are a threat to this country.
	So how much you want to bet, and I'm calling this out in advance, how much you want to bet they link up the fake Patriot Front Group, which is FBI agents, and they take this 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and they strap it on to something, you know, somewhere in America, I don't know, something that would get a lot of attention.
	Again, maybe a port, maybe a building, maybe an airport.
	Who knows?
	Maybe a hospital, huh?
	They would probably target a hospital and then they would claim like anti-vaccine people did it.
	How much of what about they do this and they set that off?
	And they do another 9-11 type of event.
	And then, of course, oh, you're not allowed to question the official narrative even though it makes no sense whatsoever.
	This is going to be another Oklahoma City.
	This is going to be another 9-11 in the making.
	It's so freaking obvious.
	It's almost comedic at this point that they think anybody's going to buy these narratives.
	I'm willing to bet that before the end of this year...
	There is, sadly, some government-run black ops team major explosive terrorism act in this country that kills innocent Americans, and then the media right on cue will blame conservatives or vaccine skeptics or, you know, Alex Jones or whoever they want to blame.
	And they probably have a Patsy ready to go, just like they did with the assassination of JFK. They've got a Patsy ready to go with a browser history that's, you know, watching InfoWars and Brighteon and, you know, searching Gab and whatever.
	And they have a van with bumper stickers on it that's all Trump.
	We've already seen that played out once.
	I mean, they create the narratives.
	It's all theater until they actually ignite the thing.
	Because the explosion is real, the deaths are real, but everything surrounding it is theater.
	They're going to do it again.
	They're going to do it again.
	Again, the injuries are real.
	The deaths are real.
	They have killed children.
	They have blown people's legs off before running marathons and things like that.
	They have blown up buildings.
	They did bring down the Twin Towers.
	You know, it wasn't a hologram.
	They brought down the towers, and they brought down Building 7.
	We just interviewed Richard Gage about that a few days ago.
	The violence is real.
	The narrative is fake.
	And the perpetrators of this are your own rogue, authoritarian, criminal cartel, fake government.
	That's what has become apparent to millions of Americans.
	And what I'm seeing with the theft of this fertilizer, unless it just magically shows up somewhere, That this is, they now have the fuel to carry out another massive act of terrorism in the United States.
	I pray to God they don't do it.
	I pray to God this cabal is peacefully brought down.
	I pray to God that we make it to the next election because I want peaceful Transition of power back to we the people through the electoral process, through an honest justice system, through an honest court system, through freedom of speech, freedom to debate, freedom of ideas.
	You know, here at Brighton, we never call for violence or, you know, armed uprisings or anything of that kind.
	We want a peaceful restoration of the original vision of this constitutional republic, which is we the people in charge.
	The government is supposed to respond and answer to us.
	It's not supposed to enslave us by creating an endless series of crises that it uses to usurp power from we the people.
	COVID was just a test run.
	They succeeded wildly with COVID. They got everybody to lock down, wear a mask and take a jab.
	A lot of those people are dead now.
	A lot of those businesses are gone.
	Those small businesses were completely destroyed.
	And from the globalist point of view, or the tyrant's point of view, that was a massive success, by the way.
	They can't believe the compliance that they got in all of this.
	Now, they're hungry for more power.
	So they'll do something bigger next time around, which is coming.
	So the next emergency will be an even bigger emergency.
	Bigger than 9-11.
	Even bigger than COVID. Maybe a combination of domestic terrorism combined with another pandemic release.
	Maybe World War III. Maybe nuclear terrorism in the United States.
	Have you thought of that?
	That they can blame on Russia.
	There's nothing that they won't do.
	And they have the weapons.
	They have control over the media.
	They have the banks in their back pockets.
	They have censorship control over the big tech platforms.
	They have total control over nearly everything.
	And there's no act of terrorism that they won't engage in in order to maintain or protect that control.
	And that's why I continue to be banned everywhere, which is why virtually no one sees this broadcast compared to what it would otherwise organically be.
	I mean, we are probably 99% censored down to the point where they don't even care anymore because, you know, we can't be on Twitter, we can't be on YouTube, we can't be, you know, on any platforms other than the platforms we build ourselves, which is why it's critical for you to help share this to the extent you can.
	You can't share this URL on Twitter because Elon Musk is in with the communist globalists, by the way.
	But you can share this on Gab and Getter and, of course, Brighttown.social and Telegram or other platforms.
	Also, every day this video gets posted, this Bright Town Broadcast News gets posted on Rumble, as well as BitChute and Band.video with InfoWars and other platforms.
	So, look, if you're watching this, consider yourself fortunate.
	Consider yourself, you know, one in a thousand who is actually able to have access to this information before others see it.
	For most people, they will have no clue what's going on until 60,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate just blows up, you know, next to them.
	And then they'll go, oh my gosh, what happened?
	What a horrible accident.
	It's no accident.
	You know that in advance.
	Those other people, they don't know that at all.
	Even after the explosion, they still won't know.
	They'll still probably blame it on right-wing militants or whatever narrative the media pushes, completely falsified.
	The Washington Post proved they can win a Pulitzer Prize by lying to the American people, getting caught in the lie, and still keeping the Pulitzer Prize.
	They should call it the Pukitzer Prize because it makes you want to puke how much they lie and then get rewarded for it.
	That's how evil the Washington Post is.
	Winners of the Pukitzer Prize.
	Well, there's a lot of people that are going to puke when, frankly, shit starts blowing up in their own cities, in their own neighborhoods, because, boom, the ammonium nitrate, there's 12 pallets of this stuff floating around out there just waiting to be ignited by whatever FBI-led group is told to pull this thing off.
	I mean, they ran the kidnapping of Michigan Governor Whitmer.
	They ran the kidnapping.
	The FBI ran J6. They're going to run the next massive explosion in America.
	Count on it.
	Count on it.
	And the thing is, in the meantime, you know, you and I, we've got to be wise and smart and try to de-escalate this.
	We've got to teach people to be prepared.
	And also warn people, you know, do not participate in any kind of escalation of anything because that's what the system wants.
	They want you to get angry and do something crazy.
	And that's why you have to not do that.
	You have to call for peace.
	Pray for peace.
	Pray for a peaceful transition of power back to the hands of we the people through the means that are constitutionally protected such as elections and also freedom of speech which has been taken away from us.
	By the way, You know, intentionally and illegally by this criminal cartel government.
	But you can never take the bait.
	Don't bite on that hook of escalation or violence.
	Maintain your peaceful posture.
	Continue to call for peace and prayers and lawful processes through which we can restore this great American republic and take it back from those who have stolen it from us and from our children.
	So with that said, then, we're going to go straight to Steve Bannon, who is another great American patriot whose beliefs, I think, in many ways parallel the concerns that I just laid out for you here.
	I think that he is well informed, but we'll ask him.
	I know he's well informed, but analysis can vary.
	Some people have different views of what the outcome might be or what might be about to happen.
	And that's okay.
	We need different perspectives.
	So we're going to jump to Steve Bannon here and let him give us his perspective on what's happening in America and around the world.
	That interview with Steve Bannon straight ahead right here on Brighteon Broadcast News.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, the free speech platform.
	And today, you're about to hear a free speech conversation without any question whatsoever.
	Our esteemed guest is the great Steve Bannon from War Room.
	That's his broadcast, his daily broadcast.
	He is at warroom.org.
	If you want to watch that, you probably already do.
	He joins us today and is happy to answer a few questions about where he thinks things are headed in the U.S. and the world.
	Mr.
	Bannon, it's an honor to have you on, sir.
	You're a force to be reckoned with, and I'm proud to have you as a fellow American.
	Welcome to the show.
	Well, I'm a huge, huge fan, and part of our show prep is natural news every day, and I love that show.
	If we didn't have natural news and Citizen Street Press, a couple others wouldn't be able to put the show on, so thank you.
	Well, you know, I've got to say, right back at you, we are all working for what I call Team Humanity, but it's also Team America in a sense.
	But the first question to you today, sir, is because you interview and talk to so many high-level people, super-informed people, do you agree that we are in the most dire situation in the history of this republic and that our window of opportunity to turn this around and reclaim our nation is rapidly closing?
	I don't think there's any doubt.
	I think if you look at the three previous crises of this country, which culminated in the Revolution and the Civil War and the Great Depression and World War II, Mike, I don't think anything...
	And that's just the problems on the basic politics, economics, invasion, sovereignty issues.
	It doesn't even deal with...
	The issues of an existential threat like the Chinese Communist Party and how they've infiltrated and doesn't even touch upon artificial intelligence or the convergence and the singularity.
	So if you look at this, this is a, I think, most dangerous time, not simply in American history, I think is the most dangerous time in world history.
	And now because of artificial intelligence and biotechnology and the advances, I think it's I completely agree with you.
	In fact, since you went there, let me ask you this question.
	It seems like the ChatGPT and the other generative algorithmic AI systems are being programmed by individuals and organizations that we would consider to be woke.
	And by woke, it means they have to believe in delusional false things like they claim a man can become a woman.
	What kind of a future do we face if we have basically woke AI terminators who believe in chopping off the genitals of children and yet they want to be our rulers?
	I mean, what kind of a hellish nightmare future are they building for us?
	As bad as that sounds, as dystopian as that sounds, Mike, I think that may be the best case.
	I think the one that has been, and that is a huge, huge issue because we know already, we've seen from CHET, GBT, and others, the bias already that's put in by the programming.
	My bigger concern is where this is going and going rapidly.
	It's an arms race.
	We know very little about CHET, GBT, and the large language models are just a very surface element of this.
	But the singularity, and particularly the part of the singularity dealing with artificial intelligence, when it gets to artificial general intelligence, the ability of the algorithm itself or the thinking machine itself to start to program itself means, and this is most of the people, the advanced people in AI, I mean, this is how serious it is.
	And right now, we have no ability.
	They just had a hearing in the Senate that we were one of the ones pushing for And if you go back and look at that, and we've tried to play some highlights from it, you had Senator Hawley and others who had a pretty good knowledge of this, but it was very superficial.
	And their solution was to have a bionic, you know, basically be able to check your eye and to make sure that it was you and not some bot taking your place or false information.
	Their solution was a biometric scan that That would basically hardwire you into essentially the matrix to make sure it was you.
	I mean, it's not even a solution.
	In fact, it's an anti-solution.
	We're in as deep a problem with this as the human race could possibly have, a massive arms race.
	We have very little understanding of what's going on in the weapons labs and the research labs.
	And that's just in our country, paid for by your viewers' tax dollars and their pension funds, the money in their pension funds.
	We have no earthly idea what's going on in the CCP. Except for the fact that we know that Sequoia Capital, with your pension fund money, has an $8 billion venture capital fund that's actually funding the CCP's advances in artificial intelligence.
	So this is as dangerous a mess as the world's ever had, and quite frankly, the human race has ever had.
	I think you state that quite accurately, and the human mind cannot grasp the algorithmic improvements that happen in AI systems when they begin to write their own code, and we already know that they can write code today, certain types of code.
	Which means the old slogan of, you know, learn to code if you want to have a job, that's about to become obsolete in many cases.
	We've seen corporations, even I believe IBM, saying they will not hire for 8,000 positions that they believe can be taken over essentially by AI or augmented by AI. We're about to see a wipeout of the white-collar working class with AI generative systems And then followed by a wipeout of the blue-collar working class with the robotics control systems.
	And when you combine those two, you get Terminator.
	Terminator 1, 2, 3, 4.
	You know, we're going to end up Terminator 9.
	You know, the woke extermination.
	They're coming for your genitals.
	I mean, it's going to get really crazy when those two combine, don't you think?
	I think it's that convergence is what I call the...
	And towards the singularity is...
	It's so hard to comprehend how you even start to think about it, much less how you address a solution.
	Remember, you have quantum computing, you have regenerative robotics, you have artificial general intelligence, you have CRISPR and advanced biotechnology, you have these five or six technologies, which were all the top five of the ten In the Made in China 2025, the Xi and those guys are going to dominate.
	If you see the convergence of all those and the advances are being made, they're increasing.
	Every field is increasing at an increasing rate.
	And this is why the hearing was so important.
	It's hard to even get your grasp around how you define the problem, how you get to actual solutions that can stop everything in its place.
	So we catch our breath and kind of figure out how this is going to be regulated going forward.
	It's very complex, and particularly with many different agendas, and you have capitalists on one side, you have authoritarians on the other.
	What I will tell you is that don't take it from me.
	Just look at the people out there that are either coming to Congress to testify or that in charge of these companies are like Meta, Zuckerberg, Google.
	These are some of the worst people in the world to make decisions.
	Why do I say that?
	Most of them are on the spectrum.
	And by that, I mean that they have arrested development.
	They're all in a maturity level of teenagers to young adults.
	These are not poor people.
	The reason is they're so smart and kind of like idiot savants like Elon Musk.
	I mean, Elon Musk gave it away the other day.
	He had an interview after the hearing with David Faber at CNBC, and he said...
	He sees what he really bought Twitter for and what it is, is a cybernetic global mind for humanity.
	And then he let the cat out of the bag that Tesla is really an AI, artificial intelligence company.
	In fact, he said it's the most advanced artificial intelligence company in the world, orders of magnitude more than the large language model companies of ChatGPT, which he was one of the founders of before he pulled out.
	My point is people have analyzed Tesla forever.
	They've never come to that conclusion.
	He knows something that they don't.
	Also, he understands it makes sense why he bought Twitter for $44 billion.
	It's probably worth $10 billion.
	With the Chinese Communist Party's money, if he's got some plan or sees it as a cybernetic You know, a global brain for humanity.
	You know, MSNC made fun of him the other night, but there's nothing.
	If you see with that interview, what he's thinking of on Twitter, what he feels he has, combined with the AI of Tesla, understanding that both are fully financed by the Chinese Communist Party that's never been disclosed and he won't talk about it, we have a problem.
	Well, and another bit of irony to add to that, I agree with everything you just said, is that this interview that you and I are doing here on Brighton.com will be banned on Twitter because Twitter continues to ban all links from Brighton.
	Our legal team has just issued demand letters to Twitter.
	Steve, we are prepared to sue Twitter.
	We have internal substantial funding for that and a top-notch legal team that's already been on the dockets of cases in front of the Supreme Court.
	We're going to sue Elon Musk and Twitter.
	It shows you the rank hypocrisy, number one.
	Besides other things Breitian does, I can tell you why you're not on there, and they won't link to the news you put up in Natural News.
	You're one of the most sophisticated voices for understanding the core evilness of the Chinese Communist Party and their actions.
	Yes.
	And everybody, I keep telling people, every significant anti-CCP voice is banned.
	I'm still banned on Twitter.
	That's right.
	I've been on Twitter, but War Room has been banned on Twitter.
	Miles Guo is banned on Twitter.
	Brighteon, if you take the real warriors on the anti-CCP movement that have the back of the Chinese people, right, have the back of Lao Beijing, Twitter has nothing to do with them.
	And the reason is, Elon Musk is bought and paid for by this Chinese Communist Party, yet all the fanboys in conservative Inks keep talking about he's a free speech platform.
	Dr.
	Shiva's shown you.
	He's far from a free speech platform.
	Far from free speech.
	He doesn't agree with.
	So it's a complete hypocrisy, but I'm glad...
	I'm glad you're suing him.
	I'm glad you're taking him to court.
	Well, you know, I gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time, even publicly stating that I'm willing to wait and see if he will keep his promise.
	When he took over Twitter, promised to reinstate accounts that did not violate the terms.
	Of course, he lied.
	And I've run out of patience.
	We're suing them.
	Or at least at this point, we have issued a warning letter threatening to sue them.
	But this is about you, not me.
	So let me ask you another question that's on my mind.
	We've already talked about AI. The centralization of AI. Monetary control under central bank digital currencies.
	I know you've broached this subject with many guests.
	If you combine AI surveillance with central bank digital currencies, which appears to be at least the direction of where the Fed and the Treasury are going, what do we end up with?
	And let me bracket that by just mentioning I tried to pay a shipping fee from a gun shop The other day, using a JPMorgan Chase credit card, it was only a $25 fee.
	They declined the charge, not because of a credit problem, of course, because they disagree with doing business with any gun shop.
	So I had to use a different card from a local Texas bank that is happy to support the Second Amendment.
	So that's a small indication, isn't it, Steve, of where this is headed?
	It's not a small indication.
	That is an indication.
	If you go to the central bank, first off, one of our objectives...
	As we get our sea legs in this with MAGA is to end the Federal Reserve.
	It is complete scam that's caused the concentration of wealth in this country of 1% of our population, our citizens own and control 90% of the assets.
	The founding generation, the revolutionary generation, if they came back, they would spit on the floor of what we've allowed to happen.
	Federal Reserve is the funding mechanism of that.
	To add to the Federal Reserve a blockchain technology That would be a digital coin that essentially can keep track of every transaction you make.
	And no matter what they say, it could cut you off like that.
	If you add that with the solution they gave the other day to AI, a biometric scanner that can basically put you into the matrix.
	If you combine those two, we might as well be in a prison camp.
	We might as well be in a prison camp.
	But if you want to turn over your freedom, that's why I said this is the most...
	Dangerous time in American history and I believe the most dangerous time in global history and the most dangerous time for the human race because of these technologies and the people that are making decisions about these technologies.
	Anybody that would do that is essentially turning over all of their freedom.
	And your example of the gun shop is just one tiny example of what life will be like.
	You will essentially have a hall monitor That will monitor everything that you do.
	and in doing that, be able to not just know all your transactions, know everything about your life, everything about your friends, but can cut you off from all of your resources instantaneously.
	Well, you're such a big picture thinker.
	I know you thought through this, but on behalf of perhaps some of those watching, they may not have considered the ramifications of this, which is let's say you donate to a Trump campaign or you donate to a conservative nonprofit.
	Well, under the CBDC system, you can then be punished for engaging in financial support of a conservative cause, even if it's a church.
	You donate to a church, you get punished.
	You donate to a church, you might lose your medical license coming up.
	Or they could put limitations on how much gasoline you're allowed to purchase because they want to force you to buy an electric vehicle so that they can tie you to a grid that, by the way, even the Energy Commissioner of the United States says will not function reliably because Biden keeps taking down coal-fired power plants and not replacing them.
	So they're forcing us, it seems to me, Steve, but your reaction, please, they're forcing us into a totalitarian, prison-camp, third-world country scenario.
	The theory of the case when they allowed the Chinese Communist Party in the late 90s, after Tiananmen, when the Bush regime, the first one, the junta, Bailed out the Chinese Communist Party.
	The whole theory of the case is that by letting them into world trade, giving them the most favored nation, WT, all that, that we were going to...
	They were eventually...
	That capitalism would drive them to liberal democratic policies and classic liberalism.
	The exact opposite happened.
	We've essentially...
	And you know this as well as anybody, Mike, because you're a student of it.
	Our elites have essentially copied their authoritarian, whether it's social credit score or all the authoritarian methods in this kind of...
	This elite merger and this kind of state capitalism coupled with authoritarian government to lead to totalitarianism, we've modeled ourselves, including down to the FBI and the DOJ, of the Chinese Communist Party.
	That's what this nation's coming to, all the way up to having the Red Guards, having these kids now with these radical gender ideologies and CRTs have become a new Red Guard and you have struggle sessions with the teachers or struggle sessions with That you have the companies if you're not totally doctrinaire according to what the regime says.
	It's quite obvious that's the model.
	It's quite obvious how they're trying to implement this.
	And if you fall into traps, like particularly the digital coin, the digital coin from the Federal Reserve or even FedNow, you're turning over your personal sovereignty.
	You're turning over your freedom to the apparatus, and that's what we have to fight.
	And quite frankly, you know, President Trump is good on some of these topics.
	He's not there yet to be great, and that's why the movement, I think the movement's assisting President Trump in coming to the right on these things, and the movement's much farther to the right of President Trump, and quite frankly, a little ahead of the curve on many, whether it's the vaccines, whether it's the digital currency, even the fight on woke.
	I think Governor DeSantis actually It's quite heroic in some of the things he's doing.
	And I'm not a DeSantis for President fan whatsoever, but I think at his level in Florida, he's doing a very good job of going after...
	Remember, he's the first guy to ban on a state level, I think, central bank digital currencies.
	He's also, I think, at the leading edge of going after some of these woke groomer corporations.
	So for the audience, remember, it's always a fight for your freedom And just remember what the revolutionary generation would think about this.
	And that's why the fight is here and now.
	And it's on so many different fronts, but it has to be.
	Again, yeah, really outstanding insights on that point.
	I want to ask you about Trump's path to victory.
	But first, let me do a little plug for your website there, Steve.
	Warroom.org is where people can watch your show.
	Is there a place where people can get, you know, swag or anything like that to help support your efforts?
	We haven't launched merchandise yet.
	We have a very small team.
	Okay.
	We're getting ready to launch merchandise, so we're getting all that up, but it's enough for me to get the content up.
	I hear you.
	We're getting the distribution and all that, but we're going to come with swag.
	Okay.
	Made in America swag.
	Even better.
	Well, let us know about that, and we'll help spread the word for you on that.
	Also, the Satellite Phone Store is the sponsor of today's interview here with us.
	And right now, in honor of Steve Bannon, they're giving away, with every satellite phone purchase through Monday evening, they're giving away a Garmin 4Runner.
	A 45 model, maybe.
	Is that in honor of Trump's presidency?
	I don't know.
	But they give him a Garmin watch, you know, one of these outdoor hiking and heartbeat and waypoint watches at no charge, no additional charge if you purchase Satellite Phone.
	You can learn about them at SAT123 for all your backup satellite communications needs.
	Yeah, this is another thing I want to put in.
	The reason that we love Satellite Phone as a sponsor, you know, we try to give people immersive and information information.
	That they can use, you know, whether it's about gold and precious metals, what's about, you know, getting ready, whether it's on food, medicine, everything.
	And what we tell our audience is go immerse yourself in information.
	People have to understand, you know, Patriot Mobile is one of our guys for cellular, but we're heading to a place you can't depend upon cellular.
	I actually have some places, I own some places that Cellular is not really going to be an option.
	You've got to have a satellite phone.
	And I keep telling people, just go to the satellite phone store because they have so many different types of products.
	And I just found them an amazing sponsor.
	But people have to immerse themselves.
	Go there.
	Look what they have online.
	Then you can talk to somebody.
	There's so many different great product offerings.
	And just immerse yourself and be thinking through it.
	You can't hurt yourself ever having a satellite phone.
	Particularly, I've got to tell you, whether it's going to be We just had guys on last week talking about the grid in Texas.
	The grid in Texas, think about it.
	The greatest state in the union.
	And that hurts me to say that since I'm a Virginian.
	The greatest state in the union.
	They're already telling people they're going to have brownouts and maybe blackouts this summer on the electrical grid.
	That's why I think you've got to go to places like the satellite phone store.
	And check out all the products, and particularly get yourself a satellite phone.
	And the deals they have on the satellite phones are unbelievable.
	Well, that's...
	Yeah, thanks for saying that, Steve.
	And the satellite phone stores made it really affordable.
	You know, like an all-inclusive monthly fee, and you get the service and the phone.
	You don't have to pay $1,000 up front for an expensive phone.
	And they have the two-way satellite text messaging devices, the bivvy sticks, which I have used.
	Steve, you know, the satellite phone store, I didn't mean to make this an extended plug, but they've donated...
	20, 30, 40 of these devices to my buddies who run some of the border security operations on the Texas border.
	And they are using those.
	They've actually ditched the Texas government-issued equipment.
	And they've been using this equipment because it just works better.
	It's reliable.
	It has long battery life.
	They're using it on the border.
	No, that tells you right there.
	Guys are on the front line and have to use it.
	I'll also tell you that every time they come on, we do like a special for the War Room Posse of, you know, when they get 100 phones and 150 phones and are bibi sticks.
	Yeah.
	They always sell out.
	And I got to tell you, our audience feedback is just amazing.
	The quality of the products, they're useful.
	Remember, when you're in a pinch, you're going to want to know you have a satellite phone and know that your loved ones have satellite phones.
	Yeah.
	And the way they structure it with being able to use the service without having to pay a couple thousand bucks for the phone is a very smart thing to do.
	They're a terrific sponsor and we love them.
	Well said.
	All right, let's talk about Team Trump because I want to know from your view, sir, what is Trump's path to victory because he's facing an establishment, a rhino establishment, I would say, that doesn't want him to win.
	But he is far and away the number one choice.
	There's nobody even close in the running, not even DeSantis at this point, I don't think.
	What's your take on it, and how do our viewers help see Trump to the finish line?
	I think you have to look at it in three phases.
	One, we have the primary.
	Two, you have the lawfare.
	And three, you have the general.
	I think that the establishment, including the Murdochs, but the uniparty and the oligarchs that essentially the ruling class in this country have determined...
	That Donald Trump will never set foot in the White House again as Commander-in-Chief and as President of the United States.
	With that as a given, we have to solve for the problem of how we get in there and how we make sure the second term is even better than the first.
	I think in the primary, the sole reason, the primary, and this is why Governor DeSantis is in a free fall because, and I like Governor DeSantis a lot as a governor.
	I think he needs more experience.
	And I think 28 is soon enough for him if he does a great job in this second term in Florida.
	There's not really any competition.
	I call them the Keebler L's, but that's not the point.
	The point is the big money in back of DeSantis is all, you know, looking for Youngkin, looking for Kemp.
	They're looking for anybody that can cut up and start to bleed Trump out.
	Their purpose is they know they can't beat Trump because, you know, the voting population or the voting base in the primary is 70 to 80 percent MAGA.
	OK, so they know they can't beat him, but they think they can start the process of bleeding him out with a thousand cuts commercial.
	Commercials, ads, to go up on a debate stage, which I think is ridiculous if we ever did that, to bleed him out.
	Number two is the lawfare.
	People have to really start to gird yourself in the fact that Trump is going to have at least three more indictments, two federal indictments, and another state indictment, and maybe more.
	Between now and time, the even primary season starts.
	I actually think, Mike, we're talking here a couple weeks before Memorial Day.
	I think by Labor Day, President Trump will have at least three more indictments, and they'll be coming at him nonstop with the lawfare, hoping when it knocks his favorabilities down.
	But more important, it starts to just take all of his time, suck up his time, suck up his resources, his mindshare.
	That's the second way.
	The third way, and I don't believe Joe Biden will end up being the nominee because I think it's pretty obvious he can't stand on a stage with Trump, and they're not going to be able to steal it as easily as they stole it in 2020, but they are going to do everything in their book, every power that they have, and they have incredible power, including Fox News.
	This is one of the reasons I think Tucker was taken away from that 8 o'clock slot, is that they will do everything in their power, everything in their power to make sure that Trump does not win the general election, which I think it's his for the taking right now.
	But that's in normal times, including artificial intelligence.
	I think artificial intelligence is going to play a massive role in this, and if we don't get rid of the machines...
	It's gonna have a massive role in determining who's gonna be president.
	So for everybody in your audience that's a Trump fan, just understand, you have to put your head down, shoulder to the wheel, and we're gonna have to grind For the next, what, 15, next 18 months, 16 months, and then after he wins, and then that's the easy part.
	After he wins, comes the hard part.
	Okay, but you said you don't think that Biden's going to be the nominee on the Democrat side, so wait a second.
	I mean, who else is?
	I mean, obviously, there's RFK Jr., but the DNC establishment doesn't want RFK. So who are they going to try to put in there?
	RFK, and by the way, your interview is brilliant.
	RFK, I think, only has one path to power, and that is Trump's vice president.
	Remember, RFK's number is at 21%.
	For your audience, understand something.
	When they ask those questions, they're asking it of people that are registered Democrats or independents that lean Democratic, that say they're going to vote, are interested in voting in a Democratic primary.
	He's at 21% with that.
	If you ask that question in a Republican primary, you can tell this from the response in your show.
	I can tell this.
	I mean, we sold, I think the publisher said of the 1.5 million books, War Room sold like 750,000.
	If RFK ran the Republican primary, he'd be far ahead of DeSantis right now.
	Most of his backing is the vaccine hesitant, the vaccine questioning, the anti-administrative state folks in the Republican Party that are against a centralized federal government of overweening power.
	That's what Robert F. Kennedy represents.
	Obviously, he's got things on the Second Amendment and things on the Green New Deal that are unpalatable, but you've got to kind of rank your enemies here when you're focused.
	And so, no, but I think there's no chance of him.
	I think that they will change out Biden, and I think they're going to go one or two directions.
	I think they'll either change him out for a Michelle Obama, let's just take the mask off and get Obama's running this, or I think they'll have some truncated primary season Where they allow Pritzker and Newsom and Whitmer and other of these governors and a couple of senators to jump in there and have a three or four month process that culminates in Chicago in their convention.
	Maybe a floor fight there to determine if it's Newsom and Whitmer or if it's Pritzker and Kamala or something like that.
	So I think that that is one or two.
	I think they either coronate a Michelle Obama as the Obamas come back to save the Democratic Party and to save the radicals.
	Or it's a truncated one of these governors in some sort of combination.
	That's my belief.
	I just don't see any way.
	And the CNN town hall, to me, reaffirmed that.
	There's zero probability that the Democrats are going to put Biden on a stage with Trump, at the Trump at the top of his powers in a command presence with a hapless old man that you can't hide behind the phony lockdowns and the mask and at the Trump at the top of his powers in a command presence with a You're not going to be able to do that.
	So he's going to have – they're going to smoke him.
	Trump will smoke him out of his den and make him face him.
	And I think the Democrats are smarter to know that Biden won't be able to – most legitimate polls right now, he's five, six, seven points down.
	And that's not going to get better where the economy is going.
	No, no.
	And excellent analysis there, Steve.
	And I always respect your time when you come on, so I know we're going to wrap this up here.
	But just a follow-up question on what you just said.
	If the Democrat establishment had any brains at all, they would want RFK to come in because they would realize that RFK has got a shot at going head-to-head with Trump.
	I disagree with that.
	I want to go back to your interview.
	The deep state or the administrative state, he says it's the number one enemy of the American people.
	I still say it's the CCP with them second, and they're working together makes them the worst.
	President Trump says, hey, as bad as the CCP is, the administrative state, this is President Trump who's been commander in chief, been president of the United States, been chief magistrate of our country.
	First time in history, someone like that at that level says the administrative state is a problem.
	You see this in the Durham report, all of it.
	Robert F. Kennedy It's impossible.
	The Democrats are the party of the administrative state.
	That 21% you have are principally, I think, independents are populist Democrats that understand it's a scam.
	By definition, of what the Democratic Party stands for in business with these oligarchs, remember, You know this better than anybody.
	The Democratic Party used to be the biggest anti-Big Pharma Party out there.
	Yeah, they used to be.
	If you cut on MSNBC and CNN, it's all brought to you by Pfizer.
	Every show's got five or six.
	I don't even know.
	These people got diseases.
	I mean, are people sick with that?
	I mean, they've got ads.
	If Pfizer and Big Pharma pulled the ads from MSNBC and CNN, it would be a test pattern.
	I mean, they're a whole business model.
	That's why RFK... It's a natural, and I realize people get very upset when I say this, but let's just go through this process.
	RFK Jr.
	is the number one weapon we have against the administrative state and what he's done against the big pharma industrial complex.
	Is his understanding and knowledge of how to take that apart, right, and make it back to free market capitalism and get the government out of it, I think is quite breathtaking and brilliant.
	And that's why I keep telling people, just let's give it time.
	I realize on the Second Amendment, I realize on certain things on foreign policy, although not Ukraine, certain things, particularly in the green energy and things like that, abortion.
	Robert F. Kennedy is certainly not MAGA, but In a time of war, and we're at war to save this country, you know, the enemy of my enemy is my ally.
	And Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	might be that, and I think we just got to keep an open mind.
	I'm right there with you on that, and we've got to keep an open mind even on Trump with his positions, because he can come around on a lot of issues that have been kind of a splinter in my mind right now, like Operation Warp Speed and so on.
	But look, this has been a fascinating discussion, Steve.
	I hope you'll come back and join us again.
	I want to encourage everybody to watch your show, warroom.org, and also they can check your archives on Rumble and other platforms, Getter as well.

	I've been sleeping on this pillow for many, many months now.
	We've been working with this company called Silverite, which is partnering with us to launch what you see here on my desk.
	Actually, go to that camera.
	Yeah.
	Silverite is the company, and these are extraordinary high-end silver-infused pillowcases with a silver-infused inner shell with a natural kapok fiber on the inside, which I'll show you here.
	This is what the kapok fiber looks like.
	This comes from seed pods on trees that grow in rainforest areas.
	So it's a sustainable fiber.
	It's filled with that.
	You can adjust how much fill you want.
	You can make it thinner or thicker.
	The kapok fiber naturally repels moisture, mold, and fungi.
	And then the silver in the pillowcase, which is right here, the silver infusion in the pillowcase, we have laboratory verified at our lab via ICP-MS the silver content in the outer shell and the inner, well, the outer case and the inner shell both are infused with silver in the outer case and the inner shell both are infused with silver in And we have, launching on Memorial Day, These pillows, which we have a very limited quantity.
	We have these in our store right now, healthrangerstore.com.
	However, they will be 10% off this price next Thursday.
	So if you want to save 10%, just wait until next Thursday at our Memorial Day sale.
	However, if you want to be sure to get one of these or a set of these, you could go ahead and buy it now at the current price.
	Now, granted, these are not cheap pillows.
	They're not low-cost, low-price.
	Nothing is inexpensive about these pillows.
	The kapok fiber is expensive because of its natural properties.
	The silver infusion process is expensive, and we've been working with them to laboratory validate the silver concentrations and to understand the resistance against washing out of the silver.
	So there's silver retention.
	We've already done 10 washes, and we still have very high silver retention after 10 washes.
	Now, what's going to happen with this company is that these pillows, this cotton currently is not organic.
	This is their existing process, which uses conventional cotton.
	But once these pillows are gone, which will happen very quickly, the entire production line from this point forward that we will carry at HealthRangerStore.com in partnership with Silverite will be certified organic cotton.
	Not only certified organic, but with all kinds of other certifications that you'll hear about that talk about fair trade and fair labor and environmental stewardship.
	I mean, I hadn't even heard of some of these certifications that our organic cotton supplier has.
	I hadn't heard of them because it's way beyond just organic.
	We are going to be manufacturing and rolling out a line of silver-infused functional textiles, beginning with these pillows, which, just for the record, we're not competing with Mike Lindell.
	We're a fan of Mike Lindell.
	Mike Lindell is a great American hero.
	This is in a completely different category and a completely different price range, just to be clear.
	We're never going to compete directly with Mike Lindell.
	If anybody's concerned about that or if Mike Lindell is listening, don't worry.
	We're in a different place on this.
	We're going to do organic.
	We're doing silver infusion.
	We're doing laboratory testing.
	And we're not using any kind of polyurethane expanded foam filler or anything like that.
	We're going with what is frankly a more expensive natural fiber approach, which is in line with the holistic principles that I've taught for over 20 years as the health ranger.
	And again, I've been sleeping on this pillow, well not this exact pillow, but a pillow like this for several months.
	When your skin is touching this fiber, the silver is right next to your skin.
	You know how a lot of people don't wash their pillowcases often enough?
	Maybe you.
	Wouldn't it be nice to know that you have silver in there that is preventing And we have laboratory tests to confirm this that is preventing the overgrowth of bacteria and fungi and that you have that additional layer of protection with natural silver ions that are infused into the cotton fiber and that also resists being washed out.
	This is just a teaser to let you know that this is coming and to let you know it's something we've been working on for quite some time and that I'm super excited about this product line and it's going to...
	I mean, we probably won't have much inventory left after the Memorial Day sale, but if you want to get these now, they're great gifts as well for anybody who has sleep issues or needs a cleaner sleep environment.
	You wouldn't believe how many people suffer from...
	Like just mold spores in synthetic pillow fibers, or the pillowcases, you know, they don't have any protection in them, and so they can become almost like a Petri dish for all kinds of, you know, microbes and horrible things that can grow in people's pillowcases.
	This is a solid answer to that.
	And we're thrilled to partner with the Silverite Company.
	We're going to have interviews about Silverite and from the founder of Silverite and interviews with some of the technicians involved in the silver infusion process and some demonstrations here in studio as well.
	But again, bottom line, these are available right now on our website, healthrangerstore.com at the, well, this is already a discounted price here, but it will be discounted another 10% on the Memorial Day sale.
	And we only have a limited quantity of these.
	The next production run is probably three to four months out.
	Sorry to say, that's just how long it takes to source organic cotton, do the silver infusion, do the quality control.
	The process takes a long time.
	And so if you want one of these, get them now.
	Next batch will be certified organic, but it's a few months away.
	So very cool stuff.
	And this Kapok fiber is fun to play with.
	If you take this, this is wild.
	If you take this fiber and you dunk it in a glass of water, it doesn't get wet.
	It just sponges back up to the top.
	It just, boom, it's back up and you can pluck it out and it's not wet.
	Because this naturally repels water.
	It's wild.
	I mean, it looks like rabbit fur or something, or dog fur, but it's actually kapok, K-A-P-O-K, kapok fiber, natural seed pod fibers from a tree that grows in rainforest regions.
	It's the ultimate high-end luxury, you know, anti-fungal fiber for pillows and other textiles.
	You're going to love this.
	So check it out at healthrangerstore.com, and thank you for your support.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and as a tech guy myself, I used to own a software company.
	I ran a lot of R&D projects, and I helped oversee the construction of both our content management system and also Brighteon.com.
	There's a special place in my heart for other people who run big tech projects and actually bring them to fruition because it's much more difficult than it first seems.
	And we're about to, well, we are in the process of a major paradigm shift for human civilization.
	We're moving away from centralized control over everything, speech, money, government, food, you name it, to decentralization.
	And decentralization is in fact the concept that I think will guarantee humanity's liberty and even survival for the next few millennia or however long we make it before we blow ourselves up or build Terminator AIs or whatever.
	So...
	The decentralized applications environment or ecosystem has a very promising, relatively new organization, and we have the founder joining us today, and we're going to talk about this.
	I want to give credit to Sayer G, who introduced me to this.
	He's from GreenMedInfo, of course, and the project is called Cordal.
	Which is just like portal with a P, except the P is backwards, so it's a Q. There's no U in it.
	Okay, so it's portal.
	Q-O-R-T-A-L. I have it on my screen.
	You can just go to portal.org if you want to find out about this.
	And we are joined now by the principal creator of portal, Jason Crow, who is quite an innovator.
	And welcome to the show, Jason.
	It's great to have you on.
	Yeah, thanks.
	It is awesome to be here.
	Yeah, I want to thank Sarah as well.
	It was really cool of him to hook us up and I was really excited when I first started talking with you because you got it.
	You understood what we were doing, and that's really rare.
	It's odd how rare that is, but it was refreshing to talk to you.
	So yeah, it's been cool.
	Thank you for that, and thank you, by the way, for taking the time.
	You and I have spoken, some on the phone privately, where you helped bring me up to speed because, like a lot of people, It took me a while to get my mind around this concept of decentralized apps.
	They don't have a central server.
	So can we start with the basics?
	I know you've probably done this a thousand times, but please, for the sake of anybody new to this concept, tell us, what are decentralized applications?
	So the idea of Quartal is to take what you use on your computer on a regular basis and remove any unnecessary middleman from the equation in every regard.
	Right.
	So things like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.
	Right.
	All of those things, they run on a server and that server is owned and controlled by a company.
	And now we're at the point on the Internet where basically the entire Internet is owned by a few large corporations.
	Right.
	Yeah, there are a few little caveats, but the majority of the Internet is owned and controlled.
	And we see how many issues come up because of that.
	I've had multiple friends who have been removed and deplatformed from different platforms, right?
	So they can no longer run their business or do the things that they do and get their word out, right?
	And that's not how things are supposed to be.
	So what a decentralized application is, is it takes that centralized component and completely removes it.
	So when you run an application on Quartal, You as the user are downloading a copy of the application and running it locally on your computer.
	You have the portal blockchain to handle the decentralized authentication and security And we do all the things differently than pretty much every other blockchain that you've ever seen.
	Well, hold on.
	We'll get into that.
	You're about to get super tech on us here in a second, but we'll get into that.
	But let's stick with the topography of it, because you mentioned something really critical there, that this is censorship proof.
	There's no central server to take down.
	There's no web domain to seize.
	There's no corporation even to seize.
	If there's a website or an app that's on Cordal, there are thousands of nodes running it all over the world, and every one of those nodes can replicate it again to anybody like a hologram.
	So it's unseizable.
	Is that accurate?
	Yes, that is accurate.
	And so the way that you have the domain system on the internet right now, right?
	You are essentially renting the domain from a company that just decided that they are the ones who own them all and they will rent them out to everybody, right?
	So if you don't pay your domain fee every whatever year or whatever you set it up to, right, you no longer own that domain.
	So that's not real ownership.
	On Quartal, you do what's called a name registration.
	You register that name and you own it.
	And you then can publish anything on it that you own, that you actually own, right?
	So it's a completely different concept, yeah.
	Now, I just want to be clear for the audience.
	We, here at Brighton and Natural News, we intend to publish our content through Cordal.
	that's accessible through Cordal.
	But just to be clear, the way someone would access that website is through Cordal.
	They would download all the static website files, and then they could view those on their local computer using any browser.
	Is that correct?
	Yeah.
	So essentially the Cordal UI is a browser.
	We are going to do a lot of improvements on that and make it a lot prettier and nicer.
	But what it is right now is essentially a browser.
	So you authenticate with it, your account is authenticated then with anything that you view inside of Cordal.
	Whether it's our wallets, the trade portal, anything hosted on top of Cordal, your account is authenticated automatically.
	So that also removes Yeah, that's really critical because Cordal, the Cordal ecosystem handles security, which you were about to get into.
	I'm sorry for interrupting you.
	No worries.
	But as a result, I mean, even my own developers, they've only begun to really look at your environment.
	But one comment I had from one of my developers was, wow, you mean we don't have to worry about authentication of logins?
	Yeah.
	And I said, yeah.
	You know, what's so cool is, so one of the main developers who's been building the two main demo queue apps that we have right now, right?
	Because we just launched the queue app functionality, the underlying ability for applications to be published not that long ago.
	So the main developer who's been doing the majority of the demos right now, he is just impressed.
	He's like, I don't have to focus on any of the difficult parts.
	He's like, all I have to do is just literally build the application.
	I don't have to worry about authentication or any of the security type stuff.
	I literally just write the app that I want and publish it.
	He said it was 10 times easier to build on Cordal Yeah, well, that's really important.
	And just for those watching who are developers, I believe React is one of the languages.
	Node.js, is that...
	I mean, what can people build apps using?
	What kind of...
	So yeah, pretty much any language that is client-side.
	So a language that runs on the client's machine when it is used, right?
	So nothing like PHP or anything like that.
	So it's going to be mostly right now JavaScript.
	React is basically a JavaScript framework.
	That's totally possible.
	That's what most of the QApps right now are being developed with, which is like the primary one that pretty much all interface developers are using.
	So it's really straightforward.
	It's actually pretty straightforward to build with, too.
	That and TypeScript, anything client-side will work.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Makes sense.
	And then does the local client environment have to have, you know, obviously JavaScript just installed?
	Well, yeah.
	It's all just browser-based, basically.
	So we've already got all of that built into the UI. And we also, you can access this stuff from the Internet, but we try to limit that, right?
	We actually want everyone to be doing this in a completely decentralized fashion.
	It is possible to do what I have set up called a gateway node and that can be on a traditional domain and you can access things that are hosted on Quartal in that fashion.
	But what we have done is made it so that all of our users actually run full nodes because we want our network to actually be decentralized.
	That's where I think a lot of the other crypto projects and blockchain based things have kind of failed.
	They've not made it really easy to run full nodes.
	People are reliant upon some other centralized component.
	We want to remove that.
	We want everyone to be utilizing this in a truly decentralized fashion because that's the only way it's actually legitimate.
	That's one of the reasons why I'm really attracted to your project and why we will be supporting it and building for it.
	And also, by the way, whatever we build, we will contribute in an open source manner to your community.
	Because that's, I mean, we better be.
	I mean, we all better share our knowledge if we hope to have a chance against the Borg system, you know.
	I agree with you because a lot of cryptos have really become strongly centralized.
	Bitcoin is one example.
	So almost everybody that runs or, let's say, interacts with Bitcoin does it through a centralized exchange.
	Many people don't hold their own keys.
	A lot of people don't even know what that means.
	And as a result, I mean, who's running a full Bitcoin node these days?
	Who's even doing Bitcoin mining these days?
	And when they are mining, they're mining to a pool.
	So they're not running their own node to mine with.
	It's completely the opposite of anything that's actually decentralized.
	And I think, honestly, that this was kind of done with intent by some people who want to basically re-centralize it, right?
	So that they can control it again.
	It's back to the ones who already control everything now have figured out a way to do this as well, right?
	So that's what I kind of feel personally.
	But your project, I see what you are building as, and this is not hyperbole, but I see this as one of the key critical pieces of technology for a free humanity because this escapes centralized control.
	It gives power back to the people.
	It lets anyone publish without censorship, right?
	So let me ask you a technical question.
	Sure.
	Let's say that I publish something on Cordell and you hate it, Jason.
	You hate it.
	You absolutely hate it.
	Like, I don't know, it's a recipe for cherry pie and you hate cherries or whatever.
	Can you ban it?
	No.
	I mean, can you destroy it from your network?
	My node doesn't show it to me, but as the lead of the developer team, no.
	We cannot do it.
	It's not possible.
	That's the thing.
	It's not censorship resistant, guys.
	It's literally censorship proof.
	Now, this doesn't mean that each individual user on their own node cannot block the content for themselves.
	Right.
	That's just like blocking channels you don't want to hear.
	Right, exactly.
	So you as the user, you have full control over what's on your note or what you want to be able to see on your note, right?
	But as anyone else trying to control what anyone else is doing, no, it's just not possible.
	Can't be done.
	And also importantly, so you are not representing a central corporation that is publishing all of this content in any way.
	So that's the thing, right?
	The future has to be built in this fashion.
	Something like Quartal cannot be owned.
	If it's owned, then we're going to get right back into the same nonsense we're dealing with now.
	It has to be completely community run and community developed.
	And to give a good example of this already functioning right now, the developers who are currently the most active working on Quartal, they were not part of the original team that I tried to put together to get this built, right?
	So it's already working as intended.
	And it's going to continue working in that fashion.
	There is no company on top of it.
	Yes, I do have a company, a hardware company, and that's dedicated to building hardware for people to run Quartal, but it is not on top of Quartal, right?
	Quartal is way too big to have a company on top of.
	Yeah, you know, that's fascinating.
	And just in full disclosure, I have become one of your customers, although I'm awaiting whatever you're building for me.
	It's done.
	I just need to get it shipped out to you.
	I've been so busy.
	Sorry about that.
	No, it's great.
	I can't wait.
	I'm really looking forward to that.
	I like to immerse myself in everything that you're doing.
	I want to see what you're up to with the hardware.
	But while I was waiting for that, I went online and I purchased a little stick computer.
	It's like the size of an ice cream sandwich, and it runs Windows 11, which I know is not our favorite operating system, but it's common.
	This stick computer...
	I think it has 8 gigs of RAM on it and some small SSD storage.
	And I just want to see, will Cordell run on this thing?
	And it does.
	Yeah, it does.
	It does run on it.
	So that was one of the key things, right?
	So the very original idea of a blockchain-based system, Bitcoin, right?
	It was supposed to be able to run on normal computers.
	It was supposed to empower the people to run on their own computer, help to run the network, right?
	That was the whole idea.
	But it got centralized because of proof of work and it got, you know, on other hardware that runs it more quickly and so forth.
	And so now it's like you have to buy a bunch of these machines and fill a warehouse with them.
	And that's another issue with proof of work and that's why we don't use proof of work either.
	But the whole idea is the person is supposed to be able to run on any normal computer that they have and run the entirety of the network.
	And this goes down to we have made it possible on even a Raspberry Pi 4, which is a semi open source device.
	But we are going to build the next one off of the RockPi, which is actually fully open source hardware as well.
	So we really want to open source everything and make it possible to run for everyone.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	So also, see, that opens it up to a lot of developing countries where incomes may be very low.
	So that hardware you were just talking about, I think people can acquire that for, what, like 20 bucks in some cases?
	I mean, it's gone.
	So that's another thing where they, like, have now...
	Chip shortages caused from things that are going on.
	But it's still, you can pick one up around $100.
	And the Rock Pie is a little bit less expensive.
	So we're going to try to get it out there as low as we can.
	And obviously everything that Croetic Hardware builds...
	We make all of the stuff, how to do it, you know, videos, walkthrough guides.
	We even give the 3D printer file if you want to print the case for the devices yourself, right?
	So we do not have any intellectual property.
	We run our company the same way that the philosophies of Cordal, right?
	So yeah, we allow everyone to build their own or if they would like to pick one up from us, right?
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's fantastic.
	And again, you can download and run Cordal on a lot of different pieces of hardware right now.
	And I encourage you to do so, by the way, folks, for you watching.
	Just go to cordal.org, download it, and it will then download the bootstrap for the full node.
	How many gigabytes is the full node right now?
	So this is something that I wanted to talk about, too.
	So actually, this weekend...
	We are rolling out a little bit of a scary update for the development team, but it should be just fine for the rest of you.
	We are rolling out an update that's actually going to make the full node database 4 gigabytes.
	Whoa!
	Which other blockchain do you know that actually got smaller in size as it ran for a longer period of time?
	How did you do that?
	Yeah, our developers are absolutely incredible, right?
	So we have right now a method that we call Archive V1. And now Archive V1 takes a lot of the data and archives it and stores it in archive files.
	Now, these archive files are still accessible via the API, so you can still use them as if they were not archived, right?
	Now, Archive V2 goes a step further and makes it 4 gigabytes.
	It's incredible.
	So we're doing that update this weekend.
	So if anyone waits until Monday or whatever to install, they'll only have to download a very small bootstrap, which will be even smaller than 4 gigs, then extract it to 4 gigs, and that's the total size of the full node database, which will be crazy.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	I mean, by comparison, how big is the Bitcoin blockchain right now?
	I think the last time I checked, it was over 700 gigabytes.
	So you need basically a terabyte drive dedicated to just the database.
	And Bitcoin is just a coin.
	Yeah, it's just a coin.
	We have over 43 transaction types.
	We are not just a coin.
	We can do a ton of things, and our database is four gigabytes after over three years.
	So, yeah, it's crazy.
	Well, okay, yeah, that's extraordinary.
	And it is worth mentioning, yeah, this is not about a coin, although there is a wallet inside your portal system.
	And I noticed, I think you prefer Litecoin in that environment.
	Is that correct?
	So it's not that I prefer it.
	It's really that the trade portal prefers it.
	So the trade portal is a layer one to layer one truly cross chain trade platform.
	There's no wrapping coins.
	There's nothing in the middle at all.
	Right.
	So you're actually trading directly from one blockchain to another.
	Right.
	So we have six supported coins.
	We initially started with Bitcoin.
	Because yeah, Bitcoin, first coin, whatever, right?
	So we wanted to start with Bitcoin.
	But the problem with Bitcoin is, there's a couple of things.
	Bitcoin transaction fees, right?
	Oh my gosh, through the roof lately.
	Yeah, especially lately people have been publishing all kinds of pictures on the chain.
	Don't even give me a start.
	I call that blockchain graffiti.
	Okay, that's graffiti.
	That's insane.
	So the transaction fees are insane.
	And also the chain being a 10-minute block...
	And you need to have multiple transactions on both chains involved in order to do a real cross-chain trade.
	So for Bitcoin, you're looking at at least three confirmations, which means at least 30 minutes for a trade to take place, right?
	So Litecoin is much faster and fractions of a penny for the transaction fee, right?
	So it's a better coin to trade with for cross-chain trades.
	Same thing goes with Digibyte, Ravencoin, And Pirate Chain, all of them are, and those are even faster block times, so those trades happen even more quickly.
	But yeah, so it's really, Litecoin is our primary market.
	It was the second coin we supported, and it's the one that gets the most use.
	So it's really the market, yeah.
	Okay, let's talk about the economics here in a second.
	Let me just summarize something before we get there.
	The coin of your realm is called Quart, Q-O-R-T, correct?
	Correct.
	Now, for disclosure, I have purchased some Quart because I'm checking it all out.
	I'm trying everything.
	I'm buying and selling and withdrawing and moving and transferring.
	I've installed Quartal on, I think, five computers at this point.
	Awesome.
	Yeah, and so far everything's working great.
	But Quart is the coin, and then people can use Litecoin in order to trade for Quartz.
	Is that correct?
	Yes.
	So you can use any of the supported coins.
	We have a trade pair on the trade portal for every supported coin.
	Bitcoin, Litecoin, Digibyte, Ravencoin, Piratechain, and Dogecoin, right?
	And yes, we support Dogecoin just because it's hilarious.
	I know.
	I'm thinking that's a joke coin, right?
	Right, it is.
	And it's just funny that a joke coin actually became so popular.
	But yeah, so you can use any of the six supported foreign coins, is what we call them in the system, right?
	You can use any of those, and we have a local wallet that you control that you can dump the private keys for, for each of those that's tied to your one portal backup file.
	That's one other thing.
	So I've dealt with so many different crypto projects in the past, and I had a whole virtual machine that was just dedicated to storing different wallet files, right?
	So the idea is I wanted one backup file that I could store that would back up all of my wallets for me.
	And so that's the idea of the Quartal backup file.
	You have that, and of course it takes care of your Quart wallet, but it also takes care of all of the other wallets and gives you accounts on all of these other chains automatically, right?
	So we have all of those.
	So all you have to do is if you want to trade on the most popular market, which is Litecoin, you just go to your wallet section, get your Litecoin address, copy it, send Litecoin there, and then you can trade.
	And we also have a function called AutoBuy, Okay, so cross-chain trades are a lot different than centralized trades, right?
	Yeah, but our audience may not be aware of what does a cross-chain trade actually mean.
	I don't want to get too technical, but you're not going into fiat first.
	You're trading one blockchain asset for another blockchain asset.
	Yes, exactly.
	So we do not touch anything centralized at all.
	So that means we cannot do direct fiat trades because that requires a bank account, it requires something centralized.
	So Portal does not do anything centralized at all.
	So the only way that we can have a market is to have a cross-chain market.
	So we have the support for Litecoin and the other supported coins.
	And you can go and see listed sells.
	Right now, we only have listed sells, so you'll see people selling court.
	But we also have the ability to do basically a buy order with auto buy, wherein the buy order doesn't show up publicly.
	It's just for you to know.
	But you can use that to buy court automatically from the trade portal so you don't have to sit there and wait for the trade to complete and then do another one.
	Because there's a lot of little complexities that come along with cross-chain trades.
	We've tried to make it as straightforward as possible, and that'll keep getting easier over time, too.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Makes sense.
	But I want to get across the point to the audience that this is not about a coin.
	I mean, that's just sort of the, I don't know, can I call it the gas of the ecosystem?
	Pretty much, yeah.
	The coin of the realm.
	But the big point of Cordell is about content and apps that are distributed, correct?
	Correct.
	Yes, exactly.
	So you could almost call the coin an afterthought, but there is some necessary components that without the coin we wouldn't be able to do, such as the cross-chain trades and what we call ATs, which are the ability to automate certain transactions and stuff like that.
	Quark has the technology for that.
	There is a need for the coin to exist, but it's really not the focus of the platform.
	We do have also a much better model for the distribution and an ability for anyone to take part in it.
	So we do have a lot built around the coin, but it's not ever focused on the coin.
	The entire platform, the idea is to decentralize literally everything that you deal with on a regular basis on your computer.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And that's why I'm interested in this project because I really don't have much interest in, let's say, just another coin if that's all it was.
	I want to be able, as a publisher who has been specifically named by the White House and targeted for deplatforming.
	Yes, that's on my resume.
	Yeah.
	Of course, I'm concerned as this tyranny grows in our world, not just the United States, but around the world, I'm concerned that rogue governments are going to, of course, seize people's domain names.
	Especially if they start World War III and then they say everything's an emergency and we can do whatever the hell we want, which is what they did during COVID, those bastards.
	They'll do it again and they'll just start seizing everybody's domain names.
	And by the way, in Ukraine, Zelensky shut down all independent media and consolidated control over the press.
	So the only press that are allowed to exist in Ukraine are pro-Zelensky press.
	Think about that.
	Wow.
	That's all supported by NATO and the United States, by the way.
	So this is not some wild theory.
	This shit's happening right now, and people need to understand it's happening.
	So the reason I'm interested in Cordell, Jason, and why I'm so happy that you're here is because I want to be able to...
	Number one, tell all our audience and fans that if they take down Brighteon.com, guess what?
	You can download Cordle and you can find Brighteon eventually on Cordle.
	And they can't take that down.
	That's my goal.
	Yeah.
	No, that's perfect.
	I mean, it's literally the ideal use case, especially for someone like yourself.
	Like you said, you were targeted for takedowns and pulled off of all the platforms.
	You are the ideal use case for publishing on Quartal, right?
	And now that we have Qblog, we have the ability to just go on, publish videos, publish pictures, publish even files now.
	We also have Qmail, which allows you to send encrypted messages back and forth.
	We are about to do encrypted group messaging with that.
	And you can tie an encrypted attachment to that too.
	So that's also going to keep getting more and more functionality and so forth.
	But yeah, we've got this ability now to do this.
	Yeah, I forgot to mention QBlogs.
	So I haven't used it much yet.
	I've just played around with it.
	But as I understand it, QBlogs, it could be a replacement for, let's say, like a Telegram or a Twitter or something where you post your content there.
	People can follow you if they choose to and they get all your content.
	Yep, that's it.
	I call Qblog the future of what a blog is going to be because it's actually going to end up becoming almost like a drag and drop web builder.
	You'll be able to build an entire presence with it.
	For now...
	People don't seem to realize that basically any social media platform is just a blog at the base level.
	It allows people to make posts.
	It allows people to comment.
	It allows people to potentially message each other.
	So Qblog is going to leverage that and be able to make basically any type of social media platform built on top of Quartal's distributed infrastructure.
	Okay, alright, cool.
	So, let me do this.
	Let me give my audience some homework, because they love it when I do that.
	Homework item number one is to download Cordal at Cordal.org.
	Download it, install it, start running it.
	Secondly, then, and I probably better register this name before this interview goes live, but I need to register the name Brighteon.
	Which I haven't done yet, but I'll do that tonight.
	And then Natural News and so on.
	I'll register a few names, which cost a little bit of QuartCoin, correct?
	I've registered one name already.
	Folks, if bad things happen in terms of censorship, where our sites are taken down, you will find us on Cordal.
	So that's something you can install right now, and in doing so, you can strengthen the network of nodes that are replicating content.
	Because Jason, one criticism I have right now is that I notice that the content sharing of entire websites can be kind of slow, but that's just a function of how many nodes are running, right?
	Right, exactly.
	So, I mean, it's literally the exact opposite of anything centralized, right?
	So, with something centralized, you've got a server and you've got millions of people or whatever accessing that server.
	It's going to get slower as more people use it.
	Now, with us, each new person that accesses the data becomes another piece of data, the same data in different locations, right?
	So, it duplicates that data and gives the next person another location to download it from, too.
	So, it gets faster.
	As more people use it.
	So yes, absolutely.
	Like if you were having any sort of slowness accessing certain sites, it could be that, you know, there are only a couple nodes that have that data and you have to actually be connected to a peer that has the data or connected to a peer that is connected to a peer that has the data.
	So yeah, so it's, you know, the more people that have it, the faster it's going to be.
	And how well do you think this is going to work for videos?
	Because, as you know, my vision for this is to build a Brighteon app, which, you know, that's a lot of videos.
	We might have to start just with one channel as a test, like this channel as a test, and then expand it over time.
	But we're talking about, you know, video files at 720p that, you know, the bitrate on those, you know, 6 megabits per second times however many seconds, there's some pretty sizable chunks to be passing around.
	Yeah, so we have been testing this already.
	I have personally probably published the largest videos that are there right now.
	There is currently the 500 megabyte single publish limit.
	That is imposed on purpose because we are testing things and we don't want things to be super large right now until we make sure we improve things, right?
	So we have already improved the loading times of videos by a massive margin.
	And the videos that I've been publishing, so I recently was able to get a two hour long video down to about 170 megabytes.
	And it was able to load very, very quickly.
	A person tested it.
	He said the longest it took him to load on one of his nodes that had less peers was about two minutes, which is not bad, but in normal times, it was about 30 seconds on most nodes that I had people test it with.
	So 30 seconds to get the video and start playing it, right?
	And now this is going to keep improving as more people have it, more nodes have copies of it, and so forth.
	forth and we improve more on the back end to make things you know transfer a little better and so forth but it's already been working surprisingly well for video and also like you know the way you encode the video is gonna you know play a little bit of a part especially while the single publish limit is in place so encoding the video to you know make it a little smaller and so forth is probably a decent plan but yeah i mean i've been playing around with all that kind of stuff too but it's been actually surprisingly good Yeah, that's great.
	I'm glad to hear that, and we're going to continue to experiment with this and work.
	But even my devs, this is a whole new thing for them, too.
	So there's a learning curve.
	Although a lot of aspects of development are easier, there's almost the aha factor of like, whoa, wait a minute.
	I have to rethink as a developer, what am I doing here in order to build this stuff?
	But in essence, apps or dApps, distributed apps, are things that interact with the Cordal blockchain in one way or another, typically.
	That's pretty much the encompassing structure of it, right?
	Yeah, they will use the blockchain for the authentication to get a logged-in user.
	And anything else they can basically build into the application.
	They can publish data on QDN or grab data from QDN or get authentication from the blockchain.
	Yeah, you have a bunch of interactivity that you have that's possible via an API that you can just call, right?
	It's actually really simple for a developer to do this.
	It's really not difficult.
	Once they start understanding it, they're going to be like...
	Oh, wow, I can build app after app after app in no time now because they don't have to worry about all the security and all the authentication and the difficulty that comes along with that and maintaining the user database and all of that kind of stuff, right?
	So all that goes out the window.
	They can just focus on literally the app and what they want it to do.
	So it's actually really cool, yeah.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Very good.
	Let me ask you a couple of tough questions.
	I know you've addressed these because I've listened to a lot of your updates, by the way, that you've posted out there, quite a few.
	You've already addressed these, but I'll ask you here.
	So one of the concerns that I think a lot of people would ask is, well, okay, what about...
	Is your network going to be used for porn?
	Is it going to be used for illegal videos, you know, snuff films or whatever?
	And this gets to the core question of censorship and decentralization.
	So I've heard your answers on this before, but you go ahead and address that because this is key to the principle of distributed information.
	But go ahead.
	Right, yeah.
	So we are, for one, again, there's no company on top of the portal.
	We're not a hosting company, right?
	We're not saying, like, come publish your stuff on our stuff.
	We're saying publish something on your computer that then gets distributed out to the rest of the network that accesses or follows your content or is set up as what's called a data supernode, which synchronizes all of the data, right?
	So there are a couple of fundamental things about QDN, right?
	So all of the data...
	That gets published on QDN becomes encrypted and chunked so that if you were not accessing the data from a portal node, so say like an ISP trying to see data going by or whatever, they cannot do that, right?
	It would just look like garbage to them.
	You can't see it.
	It's encrypted chunked nonsense.
	Yeah.
	So as far as like whether you have this data on your machine or not, it's really up to you.
	If you viewed the data Then you would have it on your machine, unless you decided to delete it, right?
	Or if you follow a name that you know is putting out content like this, then you would have it on your node too, right?
	So it's totally up to you.
	Whether someone publishes something is not really relevant, right?
	Unless you are seeking it out and trying to find it, you will not find it.
	You will not have it on your computer.
	You don't have to worry about it.
	It's like the same thing as like, you have to think of it as the internet itself, right?
	So just because there are some things that could potentially be like that on the internet, that does not necessarily mean that you are seeking it out and looking for it, right?
	Right.
	So you can't blame the internet itself for what it gets used for.
	It's the same kind of concept there, but we have a lot more underlying protections that are in place.
	So yeah, you can obviously block any content that you find that you don't like.
	We will down the line have ability for a group to control this kind of thing so people will be able to point out stuff.
	And you'll be able to throw your account into a group that will then block this content automatically on your node or things like, you know, child safety to be able to do for like my son, my nine-year-old and say, you know, child controls.
	Okay, so wait a second.
	Let me clarify that because you may have just raised some red flags in some people's minds.
	You're saying that you as a user, you could voluntarily join a group, a group that has certain content standards.
	And those content standards would apply to what is filtered or allowed to come through to you.
	But of course, joining that group is entirely voluntary.
	Right, of course.
	Everything's voluntary.
	You have full control over every aspect of anything that I mention, right?
	So that's always just a given.
	And sorry, I should point that out probably a little bit more.
	But yeah, anything I say that is possible, you have to opt in.
	No matter what it is, you opt in.
	You choose to do it, right?
	Yeah.
	Right, okay, good.
	That's clear, because there is a case to be made for parents with children, obviously.
	You want to have child-friendly content, or people of a certain religious persuasion may want to have content that's friendly to their beliefs, and so on.
	So that makes perfect sense, as long as it's voluntary.
	Because, obviously, if it's not voluntary, if some group has...
	Then we're back to Elon Musk moderators deciding what is a fact.
	Right.
	No, you have to put yourself in the group to begin with.
	So if you don't do that, then nothing's going to happen unless you decide for it to happen, right?
	So it's the same idea.
	But yeah, nothing at the base level is controlled by anyone else.
	It's all controlled only by you, right?
	So if you decide that you put yourself in this group that does this, then that's on you, right?
	So you can always pull yourself back out too, right?
	It's not like anything that you're stuck in forever.
	Wouldn't it be wild if we could live in a society where all of our decisions, I mean, everything was voluntary instead of things being forced upon us constantly?
	I know.
	You know, licensing and conformity and you must obey.
	I've had some interesting experiences with banks recently and trying to have credit cards charged for – The most recent thing was a shipping fee from a gun store.
	I just needed to pay a $25 shipping fee.
	It wasn't even a purchase for a firearm.
	And my J.P. Morgan Chase credit card declined it because the name of the merchant contained G-U-N as part of the name.
	Oh, wow.
	Yes.
	So I immediately was thinking, well, here we go again.
	If they can block gun store or whatever, or gun magazines or ammo stores or whatever, because I'm a Texan.
	I mean, I go through ammo.
	We have to maintain proficiency.
	So if they can do that, they can block anything, and that's exactly where it's all headed.
	Right, and that's the thing, too.
	If we put all of the power back into the hands of the people, then that's not possible.
	If I send a payment out on Cordell, it's going out.
	There's nobody that can do anything in the middle.
	The payment is going out.
	It's a push system as opposed to a pull system that exists now on the banking side of things, which is always going to be controlled.
	Well, yeah, and the controls keep getting a lot worse in the traditional banking system.
	I mean, really, really bad since COVID. Let's talk about mining versus minting, because you have a really unique model that does not burn electricity to do proof of work, but also, I think, doesn't have built-in scarcity either.
	There's no hard limit.
	It does, to a certain degree, but the model is completely different.
	Okay, yeah, explain it, because it's new to a lot of people.
	Yeah.
	We wanted, like I said a little earlier, we wanted everyone to be able to do it, right?
	That's the whole idea.
	We want anyone, no matter where you live, with a tiny little computer, it doesn't matter, right?
	We want them all to be able to do this.
	And so we can't have it based on proof of work because proof of work just means you're going to end up having to buy a bunch of hardware and whoever has the most hardware wins, right?
	That's basically it.
	Then the same idea applies in a more direct way to proof of stake where it's like, You have more money, you get more money for having more money.
	The rich get richer, yeah.
	So we wanted both of those out the window and a new consensus model that does not reward based on either of those things.
	It rewards based on your contribution being a full node for a longer period of time, right?
	So all you have to do is get your node running, Then, yes, you do get a key given to you from another mentor who's level five or higher, who's already been in the system long enough to reach level five.
	You talk to them, say, hello, I would like to be a mentor.
	They give you a key.
	You use that key for 7,200 blocks.
	That's your, like, prove yourself period, right?
	You get to 7,200 blocks.
	You become level one.
	The person who gave you that key gets nothing.
	It's not any sort of pyramid or any nonsense like that.
	They're just helping you.
	We have to limit minting account creation because if we don't, it just gets right back to the same exact thing where whoever has more nodes gets more power and more influence.
	So it has to have a limit of some kind.
	We've made it a human limit where the human gets to decide which new human comes in as a minter.
	That's it.
	You run your full node.
	You have that key assigned.
	That's all you have to do.
	The longer you do that, the more blocks minted you get.
	The more influence you get in the voting system, which then is going to decide a lot of the future of the platform, and the more you earn over time, right?
	So it's all about how much time you contribute and measuring that time.
	Okay, so it's proof of time running a full node, or proof of contribution over time, let's say.
	Yep, yeah.
	And 7,200 blocks, you said, to become level one mentor.
	Right.
	It's set at 60 seconds, but the consensus still needs a little bit more tweaking.
	It's been running between 70 and 75 seconds, so it takes about a week for you to get to level one.
	So you run this key given to you by your sponsor for One week, essentially.
	Then you become level one.
	Then you create your own minting key.
	You're back on your own again.
	Assign that key.
	This is all done with a click of a button, by the way.
	And it takes care of it for you, assigns that key to your node, and that's it, right?
	We also have a memory-based proof of work that's part of this.
	But that memory-based proof of work is just to limit how many minting keys can be assigned to a single node.
	So that we don't get someone trying to assign a ton of them to a single computer, right?
	So, yeah.
	Okay, so, and then the economics actually make a lot of sense in the sense that when you're running a full node, you are contributing to the network because you are moving traffic.
	You're sharing content and, you know, you're...
	Well, you're running the consensus for the blockchain itself, but you may also be sharing content with other nodes that are requesting content from you.
	So you're functioning as a relay, which is...
	You're helping to expand the network in simple ways, yeah.
	And then you're receiving some kind of reward, which would be in courts.
	Yes.
	Okay, and those quartz, then some people can purchase them through the trading system that we talked about earlier.
	Right.
	Okay, and so the supply of quartz, how is the supply limited in the long run?
	Right, okay.
	So yeah, that's another thing where...
	Okay, so Bitcoin is all about being digital gold, right?
	It's all about just being an asset that's going to go up in value because there's a limited supply.
	This has a lot of other issues that come along with it, right?
	Like what happens when, which plenty of times this has happened, people lose wallets with however many coins in it.
	That's gone forever, right?
	True.
	What happens when that happens so many times, how many coins are even going to be in circulation anymore, right?
	It gets to a point where it's kind of crazy, right?
	So what we did instead is put a limit on the block reward.
	So there's a limit on the block reward, and there's an absolute max and an absolute minimum of the block reward.
	But there's not a max on the total supply of coins that will exist.
	So we've limited essentially the inflation, right?
	So you have it starts at five and it goes down by point two five every six months in blocks until it gets to two.
	Once it gets to two, it stays there unless a specific type of vote that can happen once per year in blocks takes place and it can be increased or decreased Buy up to one in either direction in 0.25 increments with an absolute minimum of one and an absolute maximum of five, right?
	So it'll never be more than five quart per block ever, and it'll never be less than one quart per block.
	Wow, okay.
	Community deciding.
	Yeah, right.
	So this is actually fascinating.
	It's the first time I really understood that better.
	So every roughly one minute, there could be anywhere from one to five courts created.
	It follows an initial schedule, and right now it's at four, I believe, or 3.75.
	I can't remember off the top of my head, but I think it's at four.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	But that's across the entire ecosystem.
	Right.
	So all the people who are participating in the proof of time share in that reward.
	Yeah, that's another thing.
	So Bitcoin is all about competition.
	We're all about sharing, right?
	So every single mentor shares the reward every block.
	So you're not just worried about who can sign the block and who can win that block.
	It's all about sharing and working together to grow the network, right?
	And then at the same time, no one has a $1,000 electric bill because they're running miners in their basement and heating their home in the summer with proof-of-work algorithms.
	You can do it literally with a tiny Raspberry Pi that's a 5-volt computer that you can run on a small fold-out solar panel if you want to.
	What about running this?
	I have not installed Cordal on any kind of mobile device yet.
	I haven't done that.
	So, it's possible, but we don't have, like, direct mobile applications built quite yet.
	So that's not yet a focus.
	It will be, of course, and that will open up the doors for a lot of other things to take place.
	But you will be able to run Cordal on a phone.
	We need to get our light nodes a little bit more functional so that they have more transaction types and things they can do.
	But the whole idea, ultimately, is that you will be able to run Cordal.
	on a phone with a light node and have all of the functionality except for minting.
	And then if you want to, you will be able to turn your phone into a full node and mint on it if you feel like it, right?
	It's not going to make it super hot.
	It runs fine.
	I've actually run it on a phone already.
	It does work.
	But we are not quite to the mobile compatibility front quite yet.
	Okay.
	Well, that was one of my questions was because with your blockchain being so small, it can fit on a lot of mobile devices, which is quite amazing.
	And then if the nodes can run on mobiles and minting can be done on mobile devices, then that opens up, we're talking now billions of people with the potential to run this.
	Yep.
	Without sapping battery power and without taking up all the storage.
	Of course, it'll take a little bit because it is a piece of software running all the time.
	But yeah, it's not going to peg your CPU and run it and make it super hot or anything like that.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Okay, that's truly fascinating.
	So is it fair for me to describe Cordell as still kind of early stage?
	Because it's not fully mature yet, but you've proven a lot of things already.
	Yeah.
	It's just a really, really, really big focus.
	We've got a massive platform.
	It's not just one little coin that does one little thing and allows you to send money.
	No, it's way more than that.
	We've had to put focus on development on one thing and then move it to the next and move it to the next and then sometimes have to go back and fix little things or whatever.
	Three years in now and It's now very stable and very good, and we're about to get to the point where the database is 4 gigs on desktops.
	Now, from this point on, we're going to be doing a bunch of QApp development.
	There are people who are working on mobile apps, but I personally don't want to see an official Cordell mobile app, and we're using that term very loosely, right, that doesn't have...
	Full decentralization.
	So we need to have light nodes first before I'll be happy with a mobile app, right?
	But yeah, we have light nodes now, but they can only do a couple of transaction types.
	So we need to get a little bit further with that.
	And yeah, it won't be that far, I don't think.
	But yeah, we are very well established on the desktop side, is what I can say right now.
	And of course, we're just now opening the door to QApps.
	So yeah, it's still relatively early on for sure, because this platform is going to run indefinitely, right?
	It's not ever gonna be reliance on one thing that could potentially fail and cause it to be a problem like Bitcoin and SHA-256, right?
	We are able to manipulate whatever and continue on, right?
	It's supposed to be able to outlive all of us, right? - Yeah, really good point there as well.
	Let me ask you another technical question though.
	So how are you and the developers compensated?
	I understand that this is being done for passion primarily because you want to live in a world that's free.
	I get that.
	And I do too.
	And that's why we're going to contribute to this.
	And I know you and others are contributors as well, but everybody also has to pay for food.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, at some point.
	And right now, that is not a simple thing for me and a couple others to do at the moment because I have dedicated my life to this platform.
	But, you know, the original idea that I had was to build a large Bitcoin mining operation and to have that fund the early stages of the development of the project.
	However, the Canadian power company had something else to say about that and shut down my $600,000 operation I was building up there.
	So that put me in a difficult spot from the very beginning.
	If it weren't for the developers just loving the platform and wanting to build it, it would have never become a thing.
	It was just incredible that this platform was actually able to be launched in the first place because of that.
	I have personally invested every single dollar and every single amount of time that I can over the last What, 10 years now I've been doing this?
	And yeah, so right now, yeah, we get compensated the same way as pretty much anyone else by minting, right?
	So right now with the coin price being ridiculously undervalued, our total market cap at $1.6 million, which if you look at any other...
	That's it?
	You have more functionality than any of these other joker platforms in the top 20 or whatever, and they have hundreds of billions of market cap.
	We are at $1.6 million, right?
	With five point something million coins.
	So it's ridiculous, man.
	But yeah, so like right now we are not really getting compensated nearly what any of the developers are actually worth.
	Yeah, it's really going to come down to we do need some people to realize the value of the platform and assist that value in at least starting to get more realistic, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and that's why I invited you here.
	That's why I want to help with this project, and we want to contribute in lots of different ways.
	But the first way is just with this interview, and that's why I appreciate your time so much.
	But I also want to be clear to the audience, folks, this is all free to download, free to run.
	There's no charge for this.
	Huh?
	Yeah.
	Not only is it free, but you can earn from it by just from your computer.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's true, just by doing minting over time.
	But, you know, there's no membership fee.
	There's no upfront fee.
	There's nothing.
	Just download it.
	Download it, install it, run the node, and start playing with it because we're going to be on it.
	You know, Brighteon and Natural News and I'm sure a lot of other publishers will see this video and they will say, oh my gosh, well, we should be on it too.
	Yeah, we all should be on it.
	Yeah, and one single name registration, you can publish a website or any content that you want that will be there indefinitely as long as there's at least one node that has a copy of the data, right?
	Right.
	That's it.
	It's really that simple.
	If you just have 10 followers, right?
	10 followers and 10 nodes...
	That's it, right?
	You publish your content and immediately it goes out to at least those 10.
	But we've already got 15 or 20 data super nodes on the network.
	So basically, you publish something, it will be there indefinitely.
	There's no continual fee.
	In fact, you can publish the data for free.
	You can literally publish the data with a free transaction, which most blockchains don't do that at all.
	That's true, yeah.
	We have our memory-based proof of work tied into multiple different transaction types so we can make those completely fee-less, which is awesome.
	Wow.
	And then the more of you watching this, the more of you who run it, then, of course, the faster it gets, the more resilient it gets.
	And I would say, you know, good luck to the State Department if you want to issue confiscation subpoenas to 157 countries and, you know, 50,000 users all over the planet.
	Good luck.
	It's not going to happen.
	No.
	I mean...
	They can make any sort of laws and legislation that they want.
	Like, okay, go ahead and try to enforce this.
	Like, yeah.
	Makes you wonder how the centralized, because we've been living throughout human history under central control this entire time, you know, under kings and kingdoms, and then now under, well, big tech control and government control, media control, education control.
	They really aren't ready for rapid adoption of decentralization across all these areas.
	They don't really know how to answer that.
	No, they don't.
	And you can see that even by the legislation that they've been trying to put out now focused on existing projects like Bitcoin and so forth.
	Some of them were trying to say that they were going to try to regulate every P2P transaction.
	But if you're using your own node, it's impossible, right?
	But that's the thing with Bitcoin, though, is that most people are not using their own nodes.
	So they will be able to get away with this to some degree because they're going to just regulate the exchanges and any sort of hosted services, right?
	Right.
	It's not a thing.
	Every single one of our users runs their own full node, which is something you can't really say about any other blockchain project, which is crazy to me because that's really the whole idea behind it all, but none of them do it.
	Well...
	I'm looking at a couple of projects in addition to Cordal that also share that, by the way, but they're not well known.
	And so I agree with you, and the other people I'm talking to also agree with you, that this has to be about decentralization.
	So another thing, too, is if we do find projects like that, we can build support for them.
	Cordal is not just one coin.
	It's an entire ecosystem.
	So if we find another project that's totally in line, great.
	Let's support them.
	Let's build support for them, too.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Well, there's no downside to what you're doing.
	I mean, it answers so many issues.
	It is pro-freedom.
	It's pro-humanity.
	It's pro-free speech.
	It allows you to self-publish.
	It is censorship-proof.
	You know, a lot of people use that term censorship-resistant.
	I heard you talking about this on one of your podcasts.
	It's like, no, this isn't censorship-resistant.
	It's censorship-proof.
	There's no such thing as censorship-resistant.
	What does that even mean?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, they can't shut it down.
	What does that mean?
	The only way to shut this down is to maybe end the entire global power grid, in which case you have far worse problems.
	Right, yeah.
	We'll get to the point, too, where we will not need internet service providers either, right?
	So the longer-term goals of Cordal are to have a global mesh network, too.
	Wow.
	And hopefully a wireless technology that's not harmful and a beneficial one, right?
	So I see longer-term, like, really, you know...
	We want to have mesh network connectivity so that you can just directly connect to other nodes that are nearby.
	We've got this on mobile and half as many people that use Facebook right now were to switch to using Cordal.
	We wouldn't need the internet at all.
	Yeah, and I'm not sure everybody tracks what you just said, but I know there are some brand new chips that can broadcast and receive some pretty substantial distances, and if a number of people run those locally, that creates a mesh network, which is relay nodes for content, and then you don't even need an ISP. You don't need Internet services.
	You don't need Comcast.
	Yeah.
	You use these mesh devices as your TCP IP carrier, in essence.
	Yep.
	That's it.
	And it won't even be TCP IP because I found another project called Reticulum.
	And they have built a mesh communication protocol that gets rid of the need for IP addresses as well.
	And it's automatically establishing with any wireless thing you have connected to your computer, automatically establishes the network based on all of them, and automatically fixes itself.
	It's absolutely ideal.
	So that's what I would like to see built into Quartal as a connection method.
	So yeah, then that's all we'd need.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Then I can see people driving around cities like the rebels in their Mad Max vehicles running mesh network broadcast devices to free the citizens.
	Got a big antenna on the car?
	Right.
	Like, tune in!
	You can get the truth here!
	Who knows?
	It may come to that.
	But Jason, before we wrap this up, and thank you for the time you spent with us so far, what are the action items that people can do to help support your project?
	I've already mentioned everybody should download this and install it, just run it, play with it.
	But beyond that, what can people do?
	So, yeah, we do need some, you know, and I hate to even talk about it, but we do need the financial support as well.
	So people and this is just more like supporting yourself in the future, because if you pick up court, it's a long term investment wherein you are now going to have a coin that you can use for any vendor built on top of portal, which we already have a couple.
	They're going to be a lot more.
	You'll be able to use this court for your daily needs.
	Right.
	So it's an investment in your future at the same time.
	But yeah, we need some people to pick up some Litecoin, put it in their wallets, and help trade and keep the value of Core ticking upward because that also allows us to then have more flexibility with what we can offer to more developers to get them involved and things like that.
	So that kind of thing is definitely necessary.
	Other than that, it's really just we need people to pay attention.
	Just look at what we're doing, guys.
	That's really it.
	We want people to run this software because...
	We personally believe that this is the only way that we're going to be able to have any sort of freedom in the future on the digital side of things, right?
	And that ties into everything that we do on a regular basis, right?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And so just to be clear, if I could summarize that, people, when you buy Cort, which is the coin of this ecosystem, in essence, you are funding the development of the project because that's how the people who are writing the code are able to feed themselves.
	And pay rent or whatever is necessary.
	But I do want to be clear, though, by the way, you're not recommending this in a speculative manner.
	I'm not either.
	We can't guarantee any future price, and I strongly encourage people...
	In fact, I think it's better just to think of it as you're never going to come back to USD because you won't need to.
	Right, right.
	You'll be able to use court.
	It's just literally an investment in your future.
	And in the future, we're going to be using court for things.
	So I don't even like...
	I'm not thinking of it as an investment at all other than it's just an investment in the future because you're going to be able to use this directly for the things that you need.
	You will not be going back to a failing currency, guys.
	That's the thing, right?
	Well, actually, I think you're more right than perhaps our audience realizes because more bank failures are happening.
	And I think that's only going to accelerate.
	And people are looking for off-ramps of where to put value in a way that can't be confiscated or destroyed.
	Did you know, Jason, that Silicon Valley Bank collapsed and, of course, the FDIC stepped in and bailed out The U.S. citizen depositors, but they did not bail out the foreign depositors who are not U.S. citizens.
	So the foreign depositors just got their chain yanked.
	I mean, they lost 100%.
	Wow.
	No, I didn't know that now.
	Yeah, I didn't know that until recently either.
	But what it means is that every foreign depositor in every American bank, the minute they become aware of that, what are they going to do?
	They're going to withdraw 100% of their deposits.
	I mean, you'd be crazy not to.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	And also Janet Yellen says they will only save certain banks, and she won't tell us which ones in advance.
	Right?
	I mean, I just...
	The banks are probably one of the worst ones, and that's why Bitcoin was established in the first place in theory.
	I'm not so sure that I really believe all that, but I have a lot of different ways of thinking if you haven't noticed, right?
	But, I mean, getting into something...
	That cannot be stopped, that cannot be taken away from you by anyone else is just a good idea to begin with, right?
	But then you add in the fact that all of the people that build on top of Quartal will most likely be taking court as payment.
	That means you will be able to buy all the things that you want and need directly in court.
	So we're not looking at, oh, buy this and it's going to be worth, you know, $100,000 in the future.
	No, we don't care about dollars in the future.
	Right, right.
	Well, everything will be worth billions of dollars because the dollar is going to zero.
	I've got this stack of Zimbabwe currency over here.
	I've got a $10 trillion bill.
	Yeah, it's like, okay, whatever.
	You can't even, you can't buy a sandwich with that.
	Right.
	So, yeah, the dollars don't even matter.
	Okay, well, Jason, have I left anything out that you want to get across here?
	I mean, no.
	I'm also, you know, my website on Cordal, just, you know, Proetic, right, on Cordal, I'm going to be putting up, you know, all kinds of different videos there, like walkthroughs on how to do all these things, like how to build your own site, also how to use the Q apps and stuff like that.
	So, That's going to be like a nice database for people to watch videos of me explaining how to do things and stuff like that.
	And I'll keep people updated in that fashion as well.
	I mean, just jump into our communities, right?
	We have Telegram groups.
	We have a Discord server.
	We will eventually not need either of those things.
	But of course, for now...
	We have those.
	So if you are interested in any of the stuff that we've mentioned here, but you don't really know what to do, that's fine too, right?
	We will walk you through it.
	Like, it's literally just jump into one of our communities and ask questions.
	You would be surprised.
	Like, we've got people who had no idea at all what they were doing, and they got banned back when it was harder.
	When you had to do two installations and things were a lot more difficult, and now they're teaching others how to do it, right?
	So it's really just get into our community, guys, and come and join us.
	Well, absolutely.
	And I would like to present to your community, maybe like a paper or a little PowerPoint, for your community's consideration at some point, I think once you get the next round of voting squared away, for consideration of another coin to go into the wallet.
	But I'd just like the opportunity to present that, because I've been digging and doing a lot of due diligence, and I'm finding a few really interesting things, like talking to you, Jason.
	The people that you run with are so open-minded.
	They're high IQ. They're liberty-minded.
	You just want to live as a free human being in a free future.
	And so you're building the infrastructure to actually make that happen.
	Right.
	You would think it was simple, right?
	But yeah, it's surprisingly difficult for some people to grasp what it is.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's interesting.
	I mean, technology can enslave people, but technology can also set people free.
	It just depends on the topology of it.
	Yeah, we're totally open to, like I said, any project, as long as, you know, it's got the same foundational principles and they're not like, oh yeah, we've got the same principles, but we made, you know, five billion in an ICO. Right, exactly.
	I'm going to vote no on something like that.
	Oh, totally.
	It's not up to me, right?
	It's up to the community to decide these things.
	So yeah, that's the whole idea.
	You've got a proposal for another project you would like to see, Quartal support?
	Absolutely.
	Present it, right?
	We don't have the voting system quite there in the UI yet, but that's, like, really close, next month or two, hopefully.
	And you'll be able to make those proposals directly to the community, and then the vote wait is the blocks minted to start with until we get other leveling methods in the future, but yeah.
	The other thing I'd like to ask you, too, is, and we can continue this conversation off camera, but we'd like to figure out how we can accept courts as a means of payment for our online stores.
	Yeah, that's totally possible.
	We would just have to build a plugin to make that happen.
	Okay.
	Not difficult, yeah.
	All right.
	Well, I'd like to connect maybe your devs with my devs, and they can speak together in their secret dev language, and they can figure out how that might happen, but I would love to do that.
	We're actually trying to embrace many different decentralized projects that are headed by really visionary people like yourself, Jason, who we believe Are paving the way for a free future for humanity.
	And we're putting our money where our mouth is on this.
	We're getting behind these projects and just trying to show people why this matters.
	I love it.
	That's great.
	That's what I want everybody to do.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, thank you so much, Jason.
	It's awesome to have you on.
	I hope we get a chance to talk again.
	And we appreciate all your contributions to the world.
	Well, thank you.
	Yeah, it was great.
	Anytime.
	time let me know okay sounds good uh that's jason crow everybody and his channel on cordial is croetic c-r-o-w-e-t-i-c if you want to follow him there of course you need to download cordial first so just go to cordial.org download it install it you can follow him uh you can look for me health ranger it's so funny because i i i registered the name health ranger and i found somebody in the cordial chat and i and they were talking about vaccines and i said
	hi i'm the health ranger and they were like, no you're not.
	I was like, no, seriously, I'm testing the system, but there's some funny stuff going on.
	We're just playing around.
	Download it, install it, use it, learn this system, because this is where we're going to find freedom in the future.
	Thank you for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams, The Health Ranger, Brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	Today's interview is brought to you by HealthRangerStore.com.
	And I don't know if you've tried our Magnesium Comfort products.
	Of course, I have them on our desk here.
	Magnesium Comfort, it's magnesium malate in a powder form that you can mix into a variety of recipes, including smoothies, or you could just mix it into water.
	And, of course, a lot of people are deficient in magnesium, so check it out.
	If you are, you may really benefit from the support that this mineral supplement can offer you.
	And also we have organic coconut palm sugar.
	Now we have them in the...
	I think those are 8-ounce bags, whatever the size is there.
	Plus, we have them here on the website in the number 10 cans, a two-pack of these big cans for long-term storage, rodent-proof.
	Now, the thing about organic coconut palm sugar is, of course, it has a very low glycemic index.
	And it has almost kind of a brown sugar type of flavor or close to molasses.
	It's very rich because it's mineral-rich.
	And so if you're using a recipe that requires some kind of a sweetener, this is, in my opinion, one of the healthiest alternative sweeteners that you can find.
	And I use it in recipes that require a little bit of sweetener, such as, let's say, like a pancake mix recipe.
	Instead of pouring in sugar, you just put organic coconut palm sugar, and instantly that recipe is far healthier, and it's very delicious.
	It actually has a more rich depth of taste that you don't get from white refined sugar.
	So check all that out at healthrangerstore.com, along with hundreds of other products for health, nutrition, food preparedness, personal care, and your home, by the way.
	Check it all out.
	Again, healthrangerstore.com, where we do lab testing of nearly everything, including heavy metals testing and glyphosate testing and so on.
	And almost everything we sell is certified organic because we believe in clean food and clean supplements.
	Thank you for supporting us, healthrangerstore.com.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
