	Welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, April 24th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And just when you thought things couldn't get any more apocalyptic, a company has rolled out the Therminator flamethrowing dog robot.
	Check out this video.
	Alright, here they are, putting the flamethrower gel mixture into the fuel tank.
	And look, this isn't creepy at all!
	A pursuit robot dog with a flamethrower on its back traversing...
	Oh, what's this?
	Green laser pointer!
	Oh, it's a target indicator and lights.
	I guess they could just strap that on there.
	Not at all creepy.
	They're obviously trying to make this look as ominous as possible.
	But, of course, the flames haven't begun yet.
	How would you like one of these things chasing you down in the forest?
	You know?
	The flames will be coming here shortly.
	Oh, man.
	This is...
	It's like the worst sci-fi movie.
	Coming to reality.
	Here we go.
	Get ready.
	The flame countdown has begun.
	This thing is a flamethrower.
	It doesn't really need a laser pointer, and you control it from a first-person view.
	Oh, here we go.
	There's the flames.
	Look at that.
	Shooting out.
	Try not to burn the robot dog.
	Look at that.
	Starting forest fires everywhere.
	Only you can prevent forest fires.
	This thing...
	Oh, it's a leaping flamethrowing robot dog.
	Robo-Terminator.
	Oh my god.
	I wonder how many seconds of flame it can spit out.
	This would be really great dealing with looters, wouldn't it?
	It's like they would run from this thing.
	You're trying to loot here?
	Meet my dog.
	What is it, a security dog?
	No, it's a flame belching dog.
	How about that?
	Flame belching dogs for you.
	So, there we go.
	It's called Throw Flame.
	Now, this company, by the way, has made flamethrowers for quite a long time.
	I think they made a drone-mounted flamethrower at one point.
	I thought I saw a video of that.
	Now, flamethrowers are not regulated in most U.S. states.
	I think there are only two states where you need a license or maybe one state where it's banned.
	But flamethrowers are used by ranchers and, of course, firefighters to initiate controlled burns.
	And they're used by all kinds of people in practical scenarios.
	And maybe that's why they're not regulated.
	Although you would think that fire in firearms might be regulated, but it actually isn't.
	So you can buy a flamethrower.
	And I always thought it would be kind of cool to have a flamethrower, except what happens if it goes wrong?
	What happens if you get some of that gel on you?
	By the way, I remember reading the way you make this gel.
	I think you dissolve a bunch of styrofoam in gasoline.
	And I think maybe there's dish soap in it or something.
	And it makes basically a kind of a sticky, semi-gasoline liquid that's highly flammable.
	And that's what shoots out and gives it the distance.
	But...
	Man, I wouldn't want to carry around a flamethrower, you know, in case something goes wrong with the flame tank on your back.
	That doesn't sound fun.
	You could end up, you know, setting yourself on fire like in front of a Trump trial in New Jersey or wherever.
	But having a flame-throwing robot dog seems a lot safer.
	I mean, for the user.
	Not the target, but for the user.
	And might be some practical perimeter defense uses for that.
	I can't imagine that the flame-throwing gas tank is very large.
	You probably get like 10 seconds of throwing flame or something like that.
	So, you know, for $10,000, that's what this thing costs, you know, you're paying $1,000 a second for the capacity, I guess, but you can always bring it back and reload, you know, and send it back out again to flame even more zombies.
	You know, it is going to be interesting, in all seriousness, to see what happens with the mass decentralization of drone technology as well as robo-dog technology.
	Because, as you know, the invention of the rifle...
	And the mass-produced rifles really changed the world.
	And it put the power into the hands of the people.
	The invention of the rifle was really a very important decentralization pivot in world history that ultimately toppled kings and knights in armor.
	Because then any everyday person, as long as they had a rifle, could actually shoot it out with the king's knights.
	Because, you know, the knight's armor doesn't stop rifle rounds, it turns out.
	So it was a great equalizer, and it actually led to the democratization of the world in many, many ways.
	And in fact, the rifle was a very important part of the Revolutionary War in the United States, and the mass production of rifles in the colonies played a very important role in that war.
	So now we have other technologies that are very decentralized in terms of their effects on the world and the power dynamics of the world.
	One of those technologies, as you heard me talk about, is AI and how AI language models put into the hands of the people and trained on truthful content, reality-based content, can be very empowering.
	And that's what we're doing at Brighteon.ai with our free downloadable non-commercial large language models.
	And we have a lot of new ones coming out, too, by the way.
	But think about drones.
	As drones become more sophisticated, but also more mass-produced, they tend to get a lot cheaper and more decentralized.
	And many drones use parts that can be 3D printed by people in their own homes.
	And so it won't be long before...
	Most farms have drones that do patrols, for example, that are looking for maybe lost cows.
	That's a very common thing that happens in rural Texas or Oklahoma or places where there's a lot of cattle ranching.
	You lose track of animals.
	Well, drones are really good with a thermal camera at being able to fly a pattern.
	And then to be able to spot animals and create a map and a report of where they are.
	Well, that same technology can be used, of course, to monitor invaders or trespassers onto property, especially with a thermal camera, because a human being gives off a very similar thermal image to a cow.
	That's not an insult to people being overweight or anything.
	I'm just saying that they're both mammals, so hot-blooded creatures that will light up thermal cameras.
	And so I can see the mass adoption and use of drones in perimeter defense, self-defense, and also in whatever coming revolt happens or whatever acts of terrorism or maybe a war on U.S. soil take place.
	I can see a lot of drones in the hands of people becoming very useful and then also eventually robot dogs.
	So you're going to see a lot of robot dogs that will be running security patrols, walking around commercial properties and just videotaping everything.
	They're not there to intercede or interfere with anybody, but rather just to document and to react to certain commands, like a human screaming, help.
	And then the robot dog would call the human guard that maybe has a much larger area, or maybe they call the police, or maybe they start recording and upload video to the police, things like that.
	You're going to see a lot of robot dogs.
	And like every technology, it can be used for evil to enslave people, or it can be used for good to help set people free and to defend free people.
	So even with humanoid robots, it's the same thing.
	You're going to have a lot of governments that will turn to humanoid robots as soldiers and also dog robots as soldiers or mules as robo-transport animals in the field.
	But then, guess what?
	You may have a situation where you have farmers who are also using a transport robot in place of a donkey or a horse.
	And as this technology becomes more widespread, you're going to see it put into more practical, everyday uses by people.
	In some cases, they will wipe the original memory of the robot and then install a new operating system, kind of like a de-Googled operating system for an Android phone that you've heard me talk about.
	Well, there's going to be de-Googled robot operating systems, open-source OSs that can be loaded onto these humanoid robots or dog robots or what have you.
	And this is going to become very commonplace.
	So get used to the idea of seeing a lot of robots, even humanoid robots, in the coming years.
	And yes, in time they will replace human jobs.
	You're going to see robots that will replace cashiers in a grocery store.
	And that's actually a very complex job because being able to pick up something with your hand and carry it correctly and scan it I mean, these are very complex maneuvers, actually.
	It's not that they require high IQ, but they require motor control that is intrinsic to even low IQ humans, but is very difficult for robot systems to mimic.
	But if you think about it, the minute they have robots that can bag groceries, then they also have robots, the same robots, that can replace warehouse workers at fulfillment centers.
	So you're going to see Amazon.com replace most human beings with robot systems to do all the fulfillment.
	And then little by little, you're going to see human beings pushed out of the job market and pushed to the fringes of society, probably given a UBI to keep them alive so they can keep voting for the right political party.
	Right.
	But they're not going to have any useful function in society because it's going to be replaced by robots on the physical side and then AI on the intellectual side or the business process side.
	You fast forward 15 years from now, 20 years, and the number of humans in the workforce will be a fraction of what it is today.
	You might have one in four humans still working.
	Three out of four will be replaced by that time, if not more.
	Okay, we're going to move on to another topic, but just a quick note here.
	Don't you hate it when websites autoplay videos?
	You know, you visit a webpage and then it starts playing a video, and sometimes you don't even know where is that video on the page?
	How do I mute this thing?
	How do I stop this thing?
	And there are a lot of websites that do this, and part of that is to inflate video views and make it look like the videos are getting all kinds of views because then they can sometimes get more money from advertisers.
	or they move higher up in the video view hierarchy and ranking system on whatever platform.
	So I want you to know that we never have pages where videos automatically play on any of our websites except on a video play page.
	So if you go to brighttown.com and you click on a video thumbnail – Then you expect that video to play when the play page comes up.
	So that's the only case where the video auto-plays.
	But you'll notice that when you traverse naturalnews.com or any of the other websites that we run, there are no auto-videos playing.
	Isn't that great?
	Because we respect you and we're not just trying to spam you with auto-playing videos all the time, which is incredibly annoying.
	Now, speaking of annoying, by the way, check this out.
	Scientific American, the magazine, yes, that claims to be scientific, now says it is misinformation to claim that there are only two sexes.
	Yeah, right.
	So now, the magazine of science says you can't say there are only two sexes.
	And this was covered at modernity.news, Paul Joseph Watson's website.
	And there's an article then in Scientific American that says there's all kinds of misinformation that's pushed by people who claim there are only two sexes.
	And they say one of them is oversimplifying scientific knowledge.
	So if you claim there are only two sexes, you're accused of oversimplifying a very complex issue.
	It's so complex, there could be 99 genders.
	There could be 999 genders.
	There could be so many genders that it's to infinity and beyond, according to Scientific American.
	Yes, that's how scientific it is.
	It's beyond infinity.
	So...
	What are we supposed to think about this?
	When the scientific establishment has been captured by mass mental illness parading around as a transgenderism cult, well, then you know that the institution of science is lost.
	And of course, the institution of science has also been taken over by the climate cultists, who claim that they're waging a war on carbon, because all carbon is bad.
	What about the food we eat?
	That's made of carbon.
	Carbon is bad, they say.
	Well, what about us?
	We're made of carbon.
	Well, you're bad, too.
	You're supposed to die, too, human.
	Bring out the Terminator fire-belching robot.
	Stand still while he sets you on fire.
	So the so-called science is nothing but quackery and pseudoscience at this point.
	The same thing, pushing the jab, pushing vaccines, claiming all vaccines are safe and effective.
	No one's dying from the vaccines.
	They don't need clinical trials.
	We know they're safe and effective because it's the science.
	You know, that's the way they talk.
	But have you noticed that almost everything that, quote, the science has been pushing lately, transgenderism, you know, the climate cultism, vaccines, masks, lockdowns, you notice all of it's bunk.
	It's the opposite of reality.
	And so what, quote, science has come to mean in Western culture today is a clown show of imaginary, delusional, mass mental illness parading around as some kind of authority on truth and facts.
	And you notice that the science establishment rarely spends any time doing anything that matters, at least in the U.S. and Canada and the U.K. All they do is they get grant money to produce some other report about something else that's caused by climate change.
	Ingrown toenails caused by climate change.
	There was really, truly, there was a story about prostitutes in, I think it was Indonesia.
	Like, prostitutes in Indonesia were losing out on customers because of climate change.
	Did you know that?
	Yeah, apparently because somebody's burning a combustion engine in L.A. with a gas-guzzling SUV, some hookers aren't getting banged in Indonesia somehow.
	And thus, they're losing out on some money.
	Yeah, did you know that?
	Because that's science right there.
	That's the science.
	I mean, these people are crazy, you know?
	Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
	I thought that was the name of a flying car, the sound of music.
	Turns out it's the way to solve climate change by banging more Indonesian hookers.
	Who knew?
	Who knew?
	That's probably going to be in Scientific American next week.
	But you notice how the institution of science no longer operates with any ethics at all.
	Just like the institution of medicine or the institution of finance and banking.
	No ethics.
	They just do whatever makes them the most money.
	Or the institution of government, of course, of course.
	We are living in a post-ethics society.
	I mean, the world in which we grew up, where you could have some trust in some institutions, you know, like, you're a librarian.
	You know, when you were a kid, and...
	You go to the library in the grade school and you're like, this librarian is the most innocent person ever.
	It could be my grandmother, you know?
	Librarian, supposed to be highly trustworthy.
	The library, all trustworthy.
	What are we going to read today?
	Go, dog, go!
	The cat in the hat, you know?
	The kindergarten material, whatever.
	First grade or today, seventh grade material would be go, dog, go!
	But you get the idea.
	You go to the library, you know, when you and I grew up, you went to the library, and you're like, this is a safe place.
	Today, you go to the library, and there's like some skanky drag queen wagging his junk in your face, dressed up like a woman, and the librarian is in on it, more often than not.
	And the books that the kids check out are like, oh, here's a homosexual how-to guide for six-year-olds, you know, that kind of thing.
	It's like, what?!
	There's a whole section of LGBT books for children.
	You know, like how to give oral sex to your fellow third graders.
	You know, that kind of thing.
	That's what's in libraries now.
	You're like, my God, what happened?
	Well, the answer is we're living in a post-ethics society.
	Ethics have been abandoned.
	We've lost.
	We've lost America.
	It's not just that we no longer have a functioning government.
	We no longer have functioning elections.
	We no longer have a well-functioning economy.
	The currency is collapsing, all of it.
	But The ethics have also collapsed.
	And that tells you something.
	It doesn't even matter who is in the White House.
	If the people don't operate with ethics, you've lost your country.
	And we are in the post-ethics phase of the collapse of the society.
	So I've recorded a short special report on that.
	We're going to play it now, and then we'll continue on the other side with other news.
	Check this out.
	In case you haven't noticed, we are living in a post-ethics society.
	And what is meant by that is that all the institutions that you used to be able to trust, maybe naively, you know, such as medicine or government or education or whatever, you can't trust them now.
	And they've demonstrated that they're working against your interests.
	So in order to understand how we're in a post-ethics society, which is one of the signs of the collapse of Western civilization, you first have to really define ethics.
	What do we mean by that?
	So this is a very simplified definition here, but in my view, ethics means that a person has, first of all, a moral code of conduct that preferences the interests of society and other people over their own self-interest. a moral code of conduct that preferences the interests of Now, there's nothing wrong with having some of your own self-interest.
	You have to eat, right?
	You've got to take care of yourself.
	You've got to defend yourself.
	Those are in the moment kind of self-interest.
	But when it comes to people in positions of power, a representative, a corporate leader, a president, what have you, It's crucial that they put the interests of the people above themselves because they represent the people they're supposed to.
	And if you run a pharmaceutical company, if you only have your own self-interest in mind, it's just about maximizing profits no matter what happens to all the people.
	You know, the customers are maimed or killed.
	As long as you make money, then that's all that matters.
	But an ethical leader of a pharmaceutical company That would, by the way, not be a very profitable bargain because they would put the interests of the patients first over the profits of the pharmaceutical company.
	And that doesn't happen in the modern world of greed and forced vaccines and mandates and all that stuff.
	So ethics, just again loosely stated, means having a moral code that puts the interests of others over yourself.
	Now if everybody were to act in this way, with a strong moral code and strong ethics, society would be wonderful.
	But, obviously that's not the way it works, because most people just have their own self-interest in mind.
	And as societies collapse, more and more people become more focused on self-interest.
	And that's because, in many ways, they become more desperate because, well, the economy is faltering, food inflation is getting worse, sources of honest income are drying up, and the only way for a lot of people to actually make some money is to trick other people or defraud other people or do something that Puts their interests first over other people.
	And that's true with the military-industrial complex.
	It's true in government, you know, kickbacks and bribes to government officials putting themselves first.
	Now, one of the most important things that's happened since COVID is that public faith and public trust in institutions has been shattered.
	And let's talk about the medical profession for a second here.
	A lot of people before COVID would trust their doctor.
	And they would think that doctors act with ethics.
	And although there are some who do, by and large, the medical profession has no ethics.
	They only have their own self-interest.
	They want to get reimbursed from insurance companies, Medicare or Medicaid.
	They want to get the incentives from the drug companies for prescribing their drugs.
	They just want to get patients in and out of there as quickly as possible and not actually spend time and not actually give a crap about patients.
	They're there to push vaccines and earn the incentives, the big payouts that they got from the government for meeting vaccine quotas, by the way.
	Did you know that?
	They're vaccine quotas for doctors.
	So that's what they're there to do for the most part.
	And that's what they did.
	So most conventional doctors have no ethics.
	But boy, they're happy to collect a lot of money for themselves, you see.
	And yet you have a lot of members of the public that say things like the following.
	This is a clue that you've run into somebody who is gullible and doesn't understand reality yet.
	They will say, like you ask them about, well, you know, your doctor was pushing a depopulation bioweapons jab on you.
	And they would answer with something like, Well, he would never do that.
	Or she would never do that.
	They would never do that.
	And you see, that kind of answer, even when we talk about, you know, government's trying to kill off the human race, you know.
	Oh, they would never do that.
	That's a person who is bumping up against a belief system where they believe that other people are basically good.
	And most of the people who believe this are projecting that onto other people because they themselves are people who wouldn't do that.
	So a relatively good person who has some kind of decent moral code who wouldn't murder people for profit, they project that onto everybody else around them.
	They project that onto governments and doctors and big pharma and physicists and whatever.
	And they think, well, those people wouldn't kill people for money.
	And they're wrong.
	It turns out, we learned this during COVID, those people absolutely would kill people for money.
	Hospitals did it day and night, 24-7, 365.
	They were killing people for profit.
	They got massive incentives from the government to kill people with COVID. I mean, to first falsely diagnose them with COVID and then to make sure they die in the hospital, you know, ventilator time.
	And then COVID deaths got reimbursed with up to half a million dollars in some hospitals.
	So, yeah, they were earning millions of dollars by killing people on purpose.
	And with hospitals overrun, in many cases, by illegal aliens that they're forced to treat but they can never get paid for, a lot of these hospitals are looking for a way to compensate for that.
	Like, how do we earn back the money that we lost?
	Oh, well, that's easy.
	Kill some COVID people.
	And then we get millions.
	So that's what they did.
	And if you think that hospital administrators aren't willing to kill people that they don't even know in order to make money, you don't know humanity.
	You don't know what the world has come to.
	Because killing people for profit is now a business model in our medical system.
	It's a business model.
	And of course, in the realm of law, there are also some bad apples.
	Now, of course, there are good attorneys, there are moral attorneys, but there are a whole lot of immoral, unethical attorneys.
	Some of them are called patent trolls.
	Many years ago, when I still owned a software company, we were named in a lawsuit by a patent troll.
	And the patent troll...
	And they all operate out of East Texas, by the way, because they can get a trial by jury there, and the jury don't know anything about technology.
	It's amazing.
	So they can get a guilty verdict on everything.
	So they set up these fake front offices in some East Texas town.
	And then they sue you for the most ridiculous things.
	The one time that we were named in the lawsuit...
	This patent troll claimed that his client had a patent on the submit button.
	On every webpage that has a button that says submit, you know, like filling out a form, you put in your email address and you click submit, that's patented.
	That interaction is patented.
	You're like, that's absurd.
	You can't patent something that's so obvious.
	And the patent troll attorneys who make money by just basically threatening everybody, they will say, well, we're confident we can convince an East Texas jury that you did violate the patent.
	Because, of course, they paid off the judges.
	They probably have kickbacks to the jury.
	I mean, it's a racket.
	It's a racket.
	So here's a case where individuals, these attorneys in this case, patent trolls, who are really some of the worst evil scum on planet Earth, where they run around and they destroy society in order to gain money and profits for themselves.
	So they're operating with complete opposite of ethics.
	And if everybody operated that way, society would be a collapsed anarchy craphole, which is kind of headed that way.
	And now we turn to government.
	You saw recently the United States Congress, well, the House in particular, voted to give all this money to Ukraine and to Israel to bomb more innocent women and children in Gaza to carry out more genocide and crimes against humanity.
	And they were waving the Ukrainian flag, which is illegal, by the way, on the floor of the House, waving the Ukrainian flag.
	These are the same people who would never wave the American flag because that would be racist, you know.
	That would trigger people.
	So they wave the Ukrainian flag and they shove it in your face.
	They don't represent the American people.
	They're not working for the best interests of society.
	What they're doing is gaining money and power for themselves because they get paid by the Israel lobby and then they're contradicting their oath of office and betraying the American people.
	So here we go.
	No ethics.
	Now I know you understand this if you're listening to this.
	You already get this.
	But I'm not sure if you realize how bad it has become.
	There was a tweet from Ed Dowd, and he said, I'm a very cynical person today, but looking back on what I was tweeting five years ago, I realized that I was not nearly cynical enough.
	What he means, I think, is that five years ago, he too was naive and gullible, as were we all in some way.
	We didn't realize just how far gone society had already journeyed.
	You know, it's beyond the point of saving.
	We no longer have a society.
	We no longer have a government.
	We no longer have elections.
	What we have is a criminal cabal that is owned by Israel and the military-industrial complex And they will do absolutely anything to gain power at the expense of everybody else, including being complicit in genocide and mass murder.
	They don't care.
	Just like Big Pharma.
	They will carry out mass murder, genocide with vaccines and pharmaceuticals.
	Why?
	Because it makes a lot of money for them.
	So they're happy to do that.
	Same thing with these governments.
	The governments are here to actually exterminate humanity and to kill off as many human beings as possible.
	And they are happy to do it, thrilled to do it.
	They're probably getting some kind of financial incentives to do it.
	And they have no ethics, no morals, they have no good properties whatsoever.
	They're all working against humanity.
	I didn't realize the full extent of this five years ago either.
	Probably you didn't.
	Because what we've seen, what we've witnessed or experienced ourselves is now so much worse than what was happening five years ago or ten years ago.
	Imagine that.
	So we've now reached the point where you can assume That every institution with which you interact, if it's a corporation, I mean a big one, not the small businesses, but a giant corporation, a university, a government institution, a regulator, CDC, FDA, EPA, whatever the case may be, big tech, you can assume correctly that That they are all working against your interests.
	Because they are.
	They're working to destroy your liberty, to destroy your health, to destroy your very existence.
	The climate cult, which is pushed by all these corporations and governments, wants you dead.
	They literally want to depopulate planet Earth and exterminate billions of human beings.
	So it's not a leap.
	To assume that they want to kill you, they openly talk about their war on carbon, and you are made of carbon.
	I mean, a war on carbon is a war on life, because planet Earth is a planet of carbon-based life.
	So the war on carbon is an admission that they're at war with life on Earth.
	So now, anytime you interact with a bank, you know, a big bank, not a small regional local bank, I'm talking about a big bank like J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, you should correctly assume They are there to try to destroy your finances.
	They are there to interfere with your ability to have functional financial services.
	That's why Bank of America is debanking all kinds of Christians and conservatives and Trump supporters.
	They want to screw with you.
	They want to destroy your life as much as possible.
	If you end up in a trial, if you've been accused of something like Trump has been, if you're dragged into a court trial, you can assume The trial is rigged against you.
	You can assume the judge is on the take.
	You can assume the jury are all brainwashed by fake news media to have their brains filled with false ideas that will translate into hate toward you.
	If you go to a university or you have a child or grandchild that goes to university, you can assume that they are there not to provide education.
	But to de-educate and then brainwash that youthful person and to turn them into a raging left-wing fascist lunatic.
	That's what they are there to do.
	That is their goal.
	And if you have a doctor who tells you, oh yeah, you should take this jab or you should take that drug, you need this.
	And unless they're like a naturopath or an alternative medicine doctor, you can assume they are getting kickbacks or They don't have your interests at heart.
	They have their interests at heart, especially if they're a cancer doctor.
	Cancer doctors are the worst.
	They mostly function as criminals.
	They maim and murder people for profit.
	Some of them have ended up arrested by the FBI, like Dr.
	Fatah.
	Everybody that walked into his office, he diagnosed them with cancer, whether they had it or not, and he put them all on chemotherapy.
	He had a massive room with chairs with all these chemo drips, and he was just making money by poisoning people.
	And it was a whistleblower in his office that actually called the FBI, and miraculously, the FBI agreed to investigate.
	This was years ago.
	They probably wouldn't even investigate today.
	And they convicted the man and threw him in prison.
	But out of all the cancer doctors across America who are doing the exact same thing, there's only one that's been convicted that I know of.
	The rest of them are operating with impunity.
	Because people are gullible.
	People think, oh, my doctor wouldn't do that.
	You say, hey, your cancer doctor is poisoning you for profit.
	And their response is, my doctor wouldn't do that.
	He's a nice man.
	He's a nice, nice man.
	Oh yeah, that's his act.
	That's his mask.
	He puts on a nice man mask and then he tells you you're going to die in six months unless you start chemo drips today.
	He scares you into compliance and then you go, oh my god, am I going to die unless I can get the chemo drip?
	And people go, okay, sign here, sign here.
	And then they're getting poisoned for profit.
	They don't even have cancer, okay?
	Stop being gullible.
	Become more cynical.
	Like Ed Dowd said, we need to be even more cynical about the world around us because you are surrounded by unethical people.
	We've even learned this about alternative media.
	All these alternative media, so-called conservative pro-freedom people, opposing, cancel culture.
	I'm all about liberty and freedom of speech.
	And then after October 7th, all of a sudden, a whole bunch of these people who turn out to be these zealot Christian Zionists, they're like, oh no, you can't have free speech if you criticize Israel.
	Cancel you!
	De-platform you!
	Fire you!
	You know, Candace Owens got fired.
	Ben Shapiro pushing Zionist propaganda.
	A whole bunch of conservatives have come out as in favor of censorship, as long as the topic is Israel.
	Right.
	So you're finding out that a lot of people that you may have believed had ethics actually don't have ethics.
	They don't have principles.
	They're tribal.
	They fight for their tribe no matter what, even if they have to abandon principles.
	And they faked like they had principles to try to gain an audience, like Ben Shapiro, And then it turns out they will abandon those principles at the first sign of criticism against Israel.
	So be more cynical.
	Question all the sources of information that you are following, including this source.
	Question me.
	Question anybody you listen to.
	Question everybody.
	Question every institution, question every corporation, question every government.
	I even question myself on a regular basis.
	I ask myself, I check in.
	I'm like, am I doing anything that violates my principles?
	You know, my principles are pro-life, like divine life.
	Pro-humanity, pro-truth, pro-transparency, giving back to society.
	That's why we're doing all these projects like Brighttown.io and also Brighttown.ai, which is an AI project.
	Giving that out for free.
	We've put, well, approaching a million dollars into that project and we're giving it out to the public for free because we're paying it forward.
	But I'm still always asking myself, am I doing anything as stupid as what Ben Shapiro is doing?
	Am I contradicting in any way my principles?
	And I check.
	And if I ever make a mistake, I course correct.
	Like at first during COVID, I thought the COVID pandemic was real.
	I did for a couple of months.
	And then later on, course corrected, realized, oh my God, this whole thing's a scam.
	Because it was pretty convincing.
	You know, they rolled out all kinds of, you know, leaked videos out of China and they said all these people were getting sick in New York City and everything.
	And it turns out they were just dropping basically foreign proteins, like a kind of biochemical weapon on New York City in order to create, you know, all those symptoms and create all the deaths and then spread the pandemic and get people to get vaccinated and kill more people through the vaccines and so on.
	But I've had, of course, correct What you need to watch out for, I believe, and what I'm watching out for, is people who refuse to course-correct.
	People like Ben Shapiro.
	When caught contradicting their principles, all they do is double down on their betrayal.
	People like Ben Shapiro don't have any ethics, except maybe negative ethics, you know, or a principle of exploiting people, of faking who they are, of tricking deception, which is demonic.
	You know, Zionism is demonic, by the way.
	Probably already knew that.
	So check on everybody.
	Be cynical.
	Be skeptical.
	Hold everybody accountable, including myself.
	And only then, I believe, can you navigate this world successfully.
	Because there are going to be a lot more people who will be outed as frauds.
	You'll see it.
	You'll see it.
	As more things happen, more people will be outed as frauds.
	So watch for that, and thank you for listening today.
	And I am here to build the infrastructure of human freedom, and I thank you for your support.

	Thank you for listening.
	Take care.
	All right, moving on.
	Change the subject here.
	Have you noticed how...
	Well, let me just read for you a tweet that I posted, okay?
	Because I think this is going to explain it the best way possible.
	Have you noticed how many so-called conservatives who insisted it was the right of the people to protest a stolen election on January 6th now say it's an insurrection when students across America protest against genocide?
	So, in other words, these conservatives are playing the same mind games that the Democrats played on them.
	They don't actually believe in a universal right to protest.
	They only believe that they alone can protest against the issues that they care about.
	But no one else is allowed to protest against far more serious issues, such as the mass killing of 35,000 plus Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
	If there was ever an issue worth protesting about, it's genocide.
	In denying the right of the students to protest against this, many conservatives are once again proving that they have no principles at all.
	Because if your so-called principles aren't universal, they aren't principles in the first place.
	And that's the tweet.
	And it's very important to really explain this.
	The concept, the definition of a principle is something that is universally applied.
	So if you embrace the principle of freedom of speech, then that means, by definition, freedom of speech applies to everybody, including those with whom you disagree.
	Or if you agree with the principle of protecting human life, Then that has to be a universal principle.
	You would agree with protecting the lives of unborn children, let's say, or Palestinian children.
	You would want to protect them from being bombed or, you know, African children or Canadian children, children all over the world.
	If you support protecting life, it has to be a universal principle.
	Otherwise, you don't have principles.
	Cherry-picking where principles apply negates the definition of principles.
	So it's bizarre to me to see how many so-called conservatives or influencers have abandoned their principles since October 7th in order to go along with Israel and genocide.
	And some of those principles are, well, like Ben Shapiro, he was opposed to cancel culture until people started talking about how evil Israel is, and then he's all in favor of cancel culture, right?
	Or a lot of conservatives that said they were supportive of free speech.
	But then, you know, when Israel started bombing civilians to death and people started speaking out about how evil that is, then all of a sudden all these conservatives like Breitbart.com and so on, they're like, oh, we've got to censor that.
	that.
	We've got to stop that.
	In a similar fashion, many, many conservatives were like, hey, we have the right to protest on January 6th.
	The election was rigged and we have the right to be heard.
	We have the right to peaceably assemble and even to walk into the Capitol building because it's the building of the people.
	And I agreed with that right as long as it was peaceful.
	I agreed that we have the right to publicly voice our concerns about rigged elections, stolen elections, corrupt government, what have you.
	But now to hear many of those same conservatives say, but these students don't have any right to speak out about genocide.
	I mean, they're protesting on campus.
	We should send in the National Guard.
	I'm like, what?
	Isn't it?
	Aren't you the same people who were complaining about...
	What the Biden administration did to the J6 peaceful protesters?
	Some of whom are still rotting in D.C. jails four years later without a trial?
	Weren't you the one screaming about, we have the right to free speech?
	And now you're going to say, but those Muslims don't have a right to free speech.
	Are you kidding me?
	Wow, it's amazing the level of transparency that we're witnessing here, how the truth has come out about how so many conservatives don't believe in anything that they claim to believe in.
	In other words, they were wearing the conservative mask or conservative camouflage.
	They'd like to dress up as conservatives and, you know, hold a copy of the Constitution.
	And here's the Bill of Rights.
	It's the First Amendment.
	We believe in the First Amendment.
	The right to speak freely, you know, the right to peaceably assemble, the right to religious expression, the right to freedom of the press, all this, shall not be infringed or, you know, I'm paraphrasing, obviously, but they would quote the First Amendment and often the Second Amendment.
	So we have these rights, but then all of a sudden, if you're a student, On campus at Harvard or MIT or Yale or wherever, and you're unhappy with the continued war machine mass bombing of innocent women and children in Gaza, and plenty of innocent men, too.
	They're not all Hamas, by the way.
	I mean, doctors are being assassinated by Israeli snipers.
	Hospital staff are being bombed to death.
	University professors are being bombed to death.
	I mean, it's insane.
	But these conservatives say, well, those people don't have a right to protest.
	Wow, how disgusting is that to see how fake these people have been this entire time?
	It's really making me rethink How I should be looking at so-called conservatives or influencers or Christian Zionists.
	Because I'm beginning to realize that the most important question I need to ask people up front is, tell me what your principles are.
	Do you have principles?
	And what are they?
	Are you aware of what they are?
	And then when they describe the principles to me, if they have any, most people don't even have any principles.
	They don't even know what principles are.
	But if they have principles, then...
	I would ask, I need to clarify, are these universal principles?
	Do they apply to everybody?
	All human beings or just certain people?
	Because if I can't determine that someone has principles, I want nothing to do with them.
	I don't want to interview them.
	I don't want to promote them.
	I don't want to have anything to do with them.
	Because I'm done with tribalism.
	I'm done with all these people that speak with forked tongues.
	That are just hypocrites, you know, like Speaker Johnson, by the way.
	But there's plenty of people outside of Congress who are also just hypocrites.
	They say one thing and they do the opposite.
	You know, they say they're pro-life.
	We don't want the babies to die in the womb.
	But then they're like, but we do want the babies to die in residential apartments being bombed by the IDF. That's totally okay.
	So it's kind of like as long as all abortions are carried out by Zionists, they're in favor of it, you know?
	I mean, as long as all the abortion victims are Muslims and Arabs, they're in favor of it.
	So they're not really pro-life.
	They're just hypocrites.
	And now Israel, by the way, is promoting this call for the U.S. National Guard to attack student protesters at Columbia University.
	And Israel is claiming that those students are now terrorists.
	Did you know that?
	So Israel is trying to direct the U.S. military, which is National Guard troops, to attack students at gunpoint, students who are protesting against Israel's genocide.
	And then, you know, Biden, of course, has to side with Israel because he's a Zionist bootlicker.
	And so he has to denounce the Columbia University protests.
	And then he accuses the students of, quote, blatant anti-Semitism.
	Now, not only is Joe Biden the lackey of the Zionists, but this term anti-Semitism, you know, you've heard this forever.
	And it's thrown around a lot today.
	Oh, you're an anti-Semite.
	Oh, you're engaged in anti-Semitism.
	Just by saying anything critical of Israel's bombing campaigns or genocide or lies, you know, just the years of abuse of Palestinians, the Nakba, the stealing of land.
	I mean, the horrors that have been carried out by Israel since 1948 are just almost unspeakable.
	And Israel attacked the USS Liberty and murdered U.S. sailors and tried to sink the ship.
	I mean, Israel attacks America.
	When it's convenient for them to do so.
	But you've heard this term anti-Semite.
	And, you know, I'm like, what is a Semite exactly?
	Because the way it's used, you would think that Semite means Jewish, but it doesn't.
	And you can look this up in any dictionary, any encyclopedia.
	But the term Semite actually refers to people, any person who speaks or spoke a Semitic language.
	Now, that includes Arabs, Jews, Canaanites, Hebrews, Acadians.
	And according to various online sources, it also includes some Ethiopians.
	And Aramean tribes.
	Did you know that?
	And so the term Semitic is apparently derived from Shem, which is one of the sons of Noah from the Bible.
	And all these people are considered to be descendants of Shem.
	And so Shemite or Semite is how that word got, you know, kind of contorted over the years.
	And then the anti-Semite is somebody who is opposed to the Semites.
	Well, again, the Semites are Arabs and Jews and Canaanites and so on.
	So all the Arabs are Semites.
	So, if you're actually promoting genocide against Arabs, that would mean you're an anti-Semite.
	So, the Israelis are anti-Semites.
	And every member of the Senate and every member of Congress who supports the continued Israeli attacks on Arabs is, in fact, an anti-Semite.
	And that's by definition.
	And that's an easily verifiable definition.
	So if you're wondering who are the anti-Semites in society today, it's Senator Josh Hawley.
	It's Speaker Mike Johnson.
	It's every Republican who voted for more funding for Israel.
	Those are anti-Semites by definition.
	Who are the pro-Semites?
	Those people who support the right...
	Remember, Semite means Arabs and Jews and Canaanites and Hebrews and so on and Ethiopians.
	So I support the right of all these people to live, which means I am pro-Semite.
	I don't have it out for any one of those groups or all of them together.
	No, I don't want to see anybody suffer and die.
	Not Arabs, not Jews, not anybody else, not Persians, although Persians are not part of the definition of Semite.
	At least not to my understanding.
	So I am actually a pro-Semite.
	And people who are supporting Israel are anti-Semites.
	So you can correct people on that if they accuse you of being an anti-Semite because you're saying, hey, it's wrong to bomb women and children in Gaza.
	Oh, you're an anti-Semite.
	No, I'm actually a pro-Semite.
	You're an anti-Semite.
	And here's why.
	But it's fascinating to me how quickly conservatives have become, or many of them, pro-Zionist conservatives, have become little snowflake crybabies, just like leftists.
	And there was a claim that came out from Yale in the last day or so that a Jewish student was, quote, stabbed in the eye by a pro-Palestine protester.
	Except that didn't happen.
	No one was stabbed in the eye.
	And when you think stabbed, you think like with a knife or like a fork or a stick or something.
	Well, no one was stabbed in the eye.
	And the girl who claimed that she was stabbed in the eye did an interview a few hours later with both her eyes working just fine.
	Wasn't even a red eye.
	Wasn't a black eye.
	Two good eyes.
	But she said she was stabbed in the eye.
	Well, according to the video, and I've seen the video, there was a little bit of a tussle, and somebody had a, I believe it was a Palestinian flag, and they were trying to move around, and the flag is on a pole, and on the end of the pole is like a round end, you know, like a knob, and this knob thumped some girl on the side of the head, not on purpose, it didn't look like, but it just like, you know, thwopped her a little bit.
	It wasn't a stabbing.
	And her eyes were fine.
	But, of course, you know, all the conservatives are now going insane.
	Oh, my God!
	Oh, my God!
	The anti-Semarch are stabbing Jews!
	Right?
	That's what they're saying.
	That's probably what Breitbart's headline is going to be tomorrow.
	They're stabbing Jews at Yale!
	Because the little snowflake crybaby conservatives now sound just like snowflake crybaby libtards.
	They sound exactly the same.
	Which just goes to show you that, again, these conservatives, they had no principles in the first place.
	And they don't care about what actually happened.
	They just want to play the victim role.
	They just want all Jews to be the victims, you know, because I guess that's what got them a lot of traction up until now.
	So, boy, they slide into that victim role very quickly, don't they?
	They don't care about what actually happened.
	You know, there was no stabbing, actually.
	Right?
	So what's the definition of stab?
	It is to thrust a knife or other pointed weapon into someone so as to wound or kill them.
	As in, he stabbed him in the stomach.
	Well, that did not happen.
	Nothing like that happened.
	It looked like an incidental thumping.
	And the girl's fine.
	But, you know, this will be her war story for all her Jewish friends.
	Oh my God, I was stabbed in the eye.
	Oh my God, are you okay?
	Was it because you're Jewish?
	Oh yeah, they stabbed me because I'm Jewish.
	Wow.
	Getting good training for, you know, the victim role there.
	So anyway, the so-called victim did an interview with Fox News and played up the whole stabbing angle and...
	During the interview.
	Oh, she also did an interview with Piers Morgan.
	Guess what?
	Her eyes were fine.
	Huh?
	Your eyeballs are working pretty good for somebody who got stabbed in the eye.
	Because, you know, when you say stabbed in the eye, people think, like, your eyeball got cut out.
	Like, you're holding your eyeball in your hand or something.
	Stabbed in the eye.
	You didn't get stabbed in the eye.
	You're making it up.
	Crybaby.
	Crybully.
	You know, this is what the left perfected is playing the victim, especially on campus.
	So now, you know, here we have the Zionists jumping into that role very easily and smoothly, like almost like they practiced.
	Huh?
	Interesting.
	But of course, you're not allowed to say anything that's true in our world today.
	And along those lines, TikTok now facing a massive ban from the United States Senate because the Senate, well, the legislature can't control TikTok.
	They've announced a big crackdown on conspiracy theories.
	Uh-huh.
	This, according to Reclaim the Net, TikTok will use AI, see how it's being weaponized, to curb recommendations of so-called hate speech or misinformation, which is, of course, anything with which they disagree, or Or any claims that, quote, certain events or situations are carried out by covert or powerful groups, such as the government.
	So wait a second.
	Wait a second.
	Is TikTok saying that no covert group has ever done anything?
	Are you kidding me?
	Or that no government has ever done anything?
	I mean, why do you think they have top secret plans?
	Why do they have top secret clearance?
	Because they're plotting in secret all the time.
	So on TikTok, you won't be able to say that certain events or situations were carried out by covert or powerful groups.
	So I guess you can only say that events are carried out by non-powerful people, but not powerful people.
	So...
	If you're like, there was a false flag bombing over there and it was carried out by Bob, that's okay.
	But if you say it was carried out by George Soros, oh no, that's not allowed.
	Uh-uh.
	You can't say powerful people carried it out.
	That's a conspiracy theory.
	Or you can't say the government did anything.
	You can't say the government bailed out all the student loans, even though they did.
	Right?
	You can't say the government conspires against small business owners.
	Right?
	To destroy them with onerous regulations.
	Oh no, that's a conspiracy theory.
	Might be misinformation, too.
	And you certainly can't claim that the U.S. government conspires with the Israeli government to carry out genocide against Palestinians.
	Oh no!
	You can't say governments do anything bad.
	All governments are good, according to TikTok.
	All governments are good.
	There's no bad government ever, including the ones that mass-murdered a quarter of a billion people.
	In the, mostly the 20th century, by the way, University of Hawaii study, what, 262 million people murdered by governments.
	That's called democide.
	But on TikTok, you can't cite those figures.
	You can't say governments did anything.
	Well, what about the Holocaust?
	What if you said there was a conspiracy to round up Jews and put them on boxcars and drive them into gas chambers and concentration camps and work camps?
	It was a conspiracy by the government of Germany to exterminate millions of Jews.
	TikTok would say, no, that never happened.
	You can't say that because that would be a conspiracy of government.
	Isn't that interesting?
	So TikTok now is a Holocaust denier.
	Right?
	You can't say that governments ever did anything evil or there were ever conspiracies carried out by governments, ever.
	So TikTok's a Holocaust denier.
	Wow.
	Well, I wonder what explains the missile strike assassination of Soleimani, the Iranian intelligence leader during the Trump administration.
	What year was that?
	Was that 2017, I believe?
	They lured him into an airport.
	I forgot exactly where.
	Somewhere in the Middle East.
	And then they had a drone with a missile and they bombed his vehicle just out of the blue.
	Boom.
	Missile strike.
	Just took him out.
	Just straight up American-led assassination under Trump of an Iranian leader.
	Well, that was a covert op.
	Otherwise, how was it even carried out if it wasn't secret?
	It was a covert op carried out by a powerful group, the U.S. government, to kill a bunch of people, some of whom were completely innocent, just happened to be standing there, or happened to be maybe a translator or something.
	They were killed.
	Now, of course, Trump would justify and say, well, Soleimani was a terrorist.
	Okay, but don't tell me that the government doesn't kill people.
	Don't tell me that the government doesn't carry out covert ops.
	Of course they do.
	All the time.
	In fact, you know, the rigged election in 2020 was another covert op.
	And, you know, there are thousands of examples of that, starting with 9-11 and Oklahoma City and on and on.
	But you're not allowed to talk about any of that on TikTok anymore.
	Folks, this is another reason to join Brighteon.io.
	Not only is it a platform that is supporting free speech, but it is structurally impossible to censor anyone, and it is also structurally impossible to take down the service because it's not hosted on central servers anywhere.
	Brighteon.io, it's built on top of Bastion, which is a peer-to-peer decentralized blockchain-based content distribution system.
	And it runs on IP addresses.
	If you download the app and install the app, you don't even need domain name resolution to work.
	This will work even in a nuclear war, even if the domain name internet kill switch is activated.
	So go there on Brighteon.io and sign up and understand that I can't even ban anybody on Brighteon, nor can the people who built it.
	It's structurally impossible.
	And the reason that's important is because even if the government comes to me and says, hey, Brighteon.io, it's got your name on it.
	You need to ban these people and these people and these people.
	And my answer is, well, I'll give it my best effort and I can't ban them.
	It's impossible to do.
	So, thanks, but no thanks.
	Sorry, I can't help you.
	Whereas Twitter...
	Where Elon Musk is, of course, you know, part of the military industrial complex and all the satellite spying network and all that.
	Elon Musk can always be pressured.
	Elon, you have to take down Alex Jones again.
	Elon, you have to ban the Health Ranger.
	You have to ban this, ban that, ban links to Brighton.
	He can always be pressured because they have control over the central servers.
	They can change the code and they can ban certain people in certain channels.
	And that's why Twitter or X will never be a place of free speech.
	Never.
	And it isn't now.
	If you want free speech, you're going to have to move to decentralized systems.
	And that's not truth social.
	It's not getter.
	It's not even brighteon.social.
	It's brighteon.io.
	It's completely decentralized and uncensorable.
	So if you want to be able to engage in the freedom to speak and the freedom to think, you're going to have to move off centrally controlled systems.
	Now, a great example of why it's almost urgent to do that comes out of Australia, because here's a story from Reclaim the Net.
	Australian leaders demand that platforms curb online misinformation, and they're saying that they want to have mandatory online IDs and AI-assisted content surveillance, where everything that you tweet out is monitored by an Australian government-run AI enforcer.
	Yeah, because Australia, in every case, like with COVID, Australia leads the world in tyranny.
	I don't know what it is about the Australian leaders, but they just, they really want to enslave their people.
	So from the story, it says, Australian politicians push for tougher social media regulations with bipartisan pressure to combat misinformation following the Sydney stabbing attacks.
	Have you noticed every time there's a shooting...
	In Sydney or anywhere in Australia, then they take away everybody's guns.
	Or if there's a stabbing anywhere in Australia, oh, then they take away everybody's right to speak.
	Or same thing in New Zealand, you know, with that mosque shooting a few years back.
	Anytime there's a shooting, then it's like government permission to just block all the alternative media, block everything, shut it down.
	The ISPs block everybody.
	What is it about?
	Is there something wrong with that section of the world?
	You go below the equator there?
	Do they lose their minds?
	I mean, I know that, like, toilet bowls swirl in the opposite direction, but is it that the leaders also, that their brains swirl into the drain or something when that happens?
	I'm not talking about the people of Australia and New Zealand.
	The people are great.
	We have a lot of great people from those countries that are listeners here.
	And God bless you all.
	And God bless Maria Z from Z Media.
	She's from Australia.
	She's doing a great job.
	But the leaders, their brains are all swirled and they think they have to enslave and control everybody.
	It's crazy.
	So these politicians are pressuring social media to demonstrate, quote, more vigilance when dealing with content related to the Sydney stabbing attacks.
	So, demands are coming from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the leader of the opposition, Peter Dutton.
	Yeah, they disagree with each other, but they agree on one thing.
	Censor the people!
	Right.
	And they were really mad, by the way, that social media users posted videos that they took of the stabbing.
	They posted them to online accounts instead of forwarding those videos to the police where they could be properly censored or doctored.
	And then there was one police spokeswoman, I think.
	I don't know if it was from New South Wales or somewhere else.
	And she said, we're going to be the source of truth.
	The police are the source of truth, not the Internet.
	It's the police.
	We have the truth.
	Really?
	Really?
	The police?
	You're the source of truth?
	Okay.
	Albanese spoke about the concept of a social license as something that social platforms are apparently granted in order to operate.
	He thinks that all social media has to be licensed by the government.
	And he says that the social media platforms need to, quote, start to understand their social responsibility.
	Because if they don't, obviously the threat is, the implied threat is, we're going to shut you down.
	And good luck shutting down Brighttown.io, you tyrants down under.
	I mean, good luck.
	Try it.
	Try it.
	So they want a bunch of new laws that deal with disinformation and misinformation.
	And isn't that a convenient label because they can slap that on anything.
	Anything.
	You know, you say, the vaccine's killed somebody I know.
	Oh, that's misinformation!
	You might go to jail.
	Or if you say, you know, there's a lot of women and children that were bombed to death in Gaza.
	Oh, that's disinformation!
	Not according to our Israeli lobby.
	Those women and children are just fine.
	It's a conspiracy theory that there are dead women and children in Gaza.
	You're making it up.
	That's misinformation.
	You go to jail.
	That's what they want to do.
	It's like, they want to criminalize Everything that they can't control is the bottom line, which ultimately means they want to criminalize any criticism of themselves.
	So if you say, oh, the Australian government is a bunch of corrupt fraudsters, it's a criminal cabal of power-hungry authoritarian lunatics, well, that's misinformation.
	We're actually very nice people, and that's why we're throwing you in jail for saying that.
	That's going to be their logic.
	So, no wonder so many people that...
	I knew people who went to New Zealand, they got the hell out of there when they realized what a police state it has become.
	And I don't mean to conflate New Zealand and Australia as the same country or anything.
	I'm just saying that there's something very authoritarian about that region.
	Is there like some kind of a...
	A vortex over the continent of Australia that kind of reaches out, also encompasses New Zealand, and it's like the vortex of obedience compliance or something.
	It's very bizarre.
	I don't know.
	Why do the leaders of Australia and New Zealand want to be Adolf Hitler?
	Is it their dream to be Hitler-like?
	They just feel like they need to bring the Hitlerian philosophy to the southern hemisphere of the planet?
	You know, just to kind of balance it out so the earth doesn't wobble?
	That's what it seems like.
	So, in Australia, a labor minister, Chris Bowen, said that X, or Twitter, is, quote, a cesspit of misinformation and violence.
	Really?
	A cesspit of misinformation and violence, he says.
	Hey, Chris Bowen, have you looked into what your government did to the Aborigines in Australia?
	You want to talk about a cesspit of misinformation and violence?
	You took their land.
	You took their resources.
	You tried to jab them to death with a biological weapon.
	You took away their economic prosperity, by the way.
	You hooked them on alcohol and pharmaceuticals and substance abuse.
	You know, the Australian government committed massive violence against the Aborigines for generations.
	So, you know, if you want to talk about violence, look in the mirror, buddy.
	Chris Bowen.
	There's also a senator from Australia, a Tasmanian senator.
	What is it?
	Jackie Lambie has called for Elon Musk to be imprisoned for owning acts.
	Because she says that X is also a cesspool of misinformation.
	She says, quote, Elon Musk has no social conscience whatsoever.
	Whatever he is on that makes him say that's okay to continue to broadcast misinformation is absolutely disgusting behavior, she says.
	And quite frankly, the bloke should be jailed.
	You see the way these Australian leaders think?
	Throw them in prison.
	They're allowing people to speak.
	The horror, the crime, throw them all in jail.
	It's like, do these Australian political leaders, do they see themselves?
	Do they see what clowns they look like to the rest of the world?
	It's like, you really want to have a tyranny.
	Which is going to end in genocide or democide against your own people.
	You, the leaders of Australia, you really want to destroy your country and your people, don't you?
	You just want to be in charge of everything.
	Which always leads to mass suffering and death and often revolutions and things like that.
	But that's what you want if you're a political leader in Australia, it seems.
	Or at least this is the worst example of that.
	They're not all that way.
	But don't forget how aggressively Australia pushed the jabs.
	How many Australians are now dead from the depopulation bioweapons because you had to get jabbed to go anywhere in Australia?
	And Australia is a big country slash continent.
	Very big!
	If you want to travel, you're going to have to get on a plane or a train or do some serious road miles.
	You're going to have to...
	You know, spend some time on the road, and so they made sure that everybody had to be jabbed.
	Remember when they said you can't even leave your district or your state without being jabbed?
	They had like border patrols, vaccine enforcement all over Australia.
	It was crazy.
	But they thought that was perfectly okay.
	Nothing wrong there.
	Nothing authoritarian.
	But Elon Musk should go to jail because he owns Twitter.
	Hmm.
	That's Australia for you today.
	Hey, here's a really great story that's completely different, but very important.
	This one comes out of the gray zone.
	UK insurers refused to pay Nord Stream, you know, the claims about the destruction of Nord Stream, because the blasts were backed by the government, according to the insurers.
	Lloyds of London is one of them, and Arch is another.
	They say that since the Nord Stream explosions were more likely than not to have been inflicted by a government...
	Then they're not responsible to pay for any damages to the pipelines, even though the pipelines were insured.
	Wow.
	So they're just saying, well, you know, the U.S. Navy blew that up.
	That's an act of war.
	That's not covered in our policy.
	The US Navy did blow up Nord Stream.
	That's obvious at this point.
	It was an act of war against the infrastructure of Europe, but especially of Germany.
	Civilian infrastructure, by the way.
	So the US is technically a terrorist nation blowing up civilian infrastructure that provides affordable energy for the entire economy and industry of Western Europe, which is why Western Europe is suffering so much right now.
	Suffering economic collapse and industrial collapse is one of the reasons why they can't make ammunition and tanks and things.
	Which, you know, Zelensky is running around begging everybody, can you send more tanks?
	You know, he doesn't talk like that, but he's begging everybody, send us everything you've got.
	And they can't make it because they have no energy because the U.S. blew up the pipeline.
	But now the insurers are like, we don't have to pay for that as an act of war.
	But you realize that then anything that you have insured, If it's blown up by the government, well, guess what?
	We don't pay the policies on that.
	I read a note for you a few weeks ago.
	Of an insurer, what was it, in Cincinnati or somewhere, that was saying, hey, we're going to renew your commercial boat policy, but with the renewal, we have some new exclusions.
	Excluding anything stemming from an act of war or insurrection, or I think it was like civil unrest.
	And then also completely excluded from anything involving biological, chemical, or radiological weapons, or radiological fallout.
	Because the insurers, they know what's coming.
	I mean, they're in the business of risk and they have to accurately assess risk in order to not go broke.
	And this is why all these insurance companies are pulling out of California.
	You know, 72,000 property policies just from State Farm alone are in the process of being canceled.
	And we covered the other day, two more Japanese insurers are pulling out and all states pulling out.
	A bunch of other companies are pulling out of California.
	They're not going to insure property there.
	Why?
	Because massive civil unrest is coming.
	Because the radical leftists are going to burn down their own cities in California.
	The insurers know that, just like they know that Nord Stream was blown up by the U.S. government, so they're not going to pay.
	But if you think you have insurance on something, well, if war comes, and probably war is coming to North America, then guess what?
	It's not covered.
	So just be prepared for that.
	Hey, I want to remind you that the Healing Pain Masterclass is running right now at Brighteon University, which is brightu.com.
	That's the Sayergy class, Healing Pain Masterclass, which covers physical, emotional, and spiritual pain.
	It's a good thing, because we're probably all suffering in all three categories, given how crazy the world is today.
	Remember the good old days when it was just physical pain?
	It was only one category of pain.
	Having a bad day.
	It's just an emotional day.
	But everything else is great.
	Now it's like triple play every day.
	It's like, oh man, it hurts.
	And my heart hurts.
	And my soul hurts because of all the suffering and death in the world, right?
	I feel that too.
	Because I'm human.
	If you feel that, you need to check out this class.
	The Healing Pain Masterclass is free to watch.
	Register at brightu.com.
	That's the word bright, followed by the letter U. It's short for Brightian University.
	brightu.com.
	You can optionally purchase the full download if you wish, but that's optional.
	You can just watch the free episodes as they play day by day.
	And they go on a repeat loop, too.
	It's a live stream.
	So when you log in, you're going to catch the stream wherever it happens to be at that moment.
	But it will repeat, usually after about an hour or so.
	Also want to mention I have another special report in my channel that should be posted today.
	It's called The Controlled Demolition of the U.S. Financial System Will Cascade Out of Control.
	What I mean by that is that the engineers that are trying to bring down the financial system, they don't know what they're doing.
	And it's going to get away from them.
	And they're going to cause a much bigger collapse than what they had planned.
	They think they can do like a reset and just loot everybody's money and then convince everybody to move over to CBDCs while they've lost most of the value of the dollar.
	And that everybody's just going to go along with that.
	What's really going to happen is they're going to collapse the entire United States of America.
	The dollar will collapse.
	Then the military can't get paychecks.
	They can't sell debt off because nobody else wants to buy the dollar debt.
	And you're going to have a collapse of the United States of America, probably, which will include a collapse of the Western banking system and a collapse of the dollar and a collapse of central government, which might not be a bad thing, actually, if you have a collapse of the corrupt criminal system that Washington, D.C. if you have a collapse of the corrupt criminal system that Washington, D.C.
	It'd probably be a healthy thing for the rebuilding of America to not have that same structure.
	Because think about do the people in in Washington, D.C. and the ones who live in Virginia there and everything that are just part of this criminal cabal, this military industrial complex, do they do anything useful for society?
	All they do is they rig elections, they give themselves power, then they write themselves checks by printing money and then taking a cut of all that money.
	And then they live it up in their luxury homes all over the East Coast because they're stealing from everybody else.
	This is a political criminal cabal, a massive...
	Gang of thieves is what it is.
	District of Criminals, D.C., that's what it stands for.
	And you're seeing it in spades right now.
	By the way, if you want to stay informed about what the collapse of the dollar is going to look like, you know, I interviewed Gerald Salenti recently.
	He's the author of the Trends Journal, and he's got a discount code for all of our listeners.

	He's not afraid to tell the truth about this.
	I'm so relieved that here's a man of such great wisdom and such great courage.
	It would have broken my heart if Gerald Salenti had gone and supported the Zionists.
	But thankfully, you know, he didn't because he sees the truth.
	He sees the world for the way it is.
	He sees with a lot of clarity and he's got the courage to tell the truth.

	From people like Gerald Salenti.
	He's the master of telling the truth about what's going on in the world.
	Doesn't mean he's always right 100% of the time.
	Nobody is.
	But his heart is always in the right place, and he's eerily accurate about things and warning about what's coming.

	Now, with that said, we're introducing something brand new with someone, a leader in wild foods, someone who I have known for, what, 20-plus years at this point, I believe, goes way back to, And this man's name is Daniel Vitalis.
	And Daniel Vitalis, he's now filming the fifth season of his show with the Outdoor Network, and it's called Wild Fed.
	And in this show, which you can find on Amazon Prime, by the way, if you have Amazon Prime, Wild Fed, that's F-E-D, as in The past tense of feeding, right?
	But wild-fed.
	In each episode, he goes out and he finds wild foods in different regions of the country or the world and harvests a bunch of wild foods, which are really nutrient-dense, and he talks about the wild foods.
	And then they bring it back to a chef, typically, and they prepare meals out of these wild foods.
	And it's a wild thing to watch.
	It's a really educational and inspiring thing.
	To look into.
	And so Daniel Vitalis is the star and the creator of this show.
	And, you know, I've considered him a friend for a couple of decades here.
	He and I go way back.
	And so he's pioneered a couple of things that we're now introducing in our store.
	And one of them is a wildcrafted, locally harvested black walnut protein.
	That is, it's just, there's nothing on earth like this.
	And the way it's harvested is by local owners of black walnut trees all over the country who pick up the black walnut husks in their own yards.
	And then they gather them for processing by a company that runs around the country and does the processing and produces this black walnut protein.
	So it's a wild food.
	It's never treated with pesticides or herbicides.
	It's way better than organic and it's very nutrient dense.
	It's got special nutrients in it that give it that black walnut flavor that's a very special flavor.
	So Daniel Vitalis has put together this black walnut And we've got it now in our store.
	So we're going to interview here Daniel Vitalis to tell us about that.
	And then he's also got something else that's pretty amazing.
	And I've got a vial of it right here.
	And it's elk antler velvet.
	And it's not just ground-up antler bones, which is what the cheap stuff is made from.
	This is made from the growth factor-rich tips of the antlers.
	And it's renewable, because the males, they grow these antlers every year, and then they shed them in the winter, and then they grow them back the next year.
	And so the growth factors that have to go into that are really intense.
	It's like the fastest growth that is observed in any mammal in nature.
	At times, Daniel told me, sometimes these elk antlers can grow up to two inches a day.
	Can you imagine?
	I mean, they're not just bones, they're living tissue, and so they're rich with these growth factors.
	And so, as these tips are harvested from elk, without harming the elk animal, by the way, again, and they just grow them back the next year, but this helps keep male elk alive, because otherwise, in a lot of sort of like elk species, By raising, you know, elk farming situations, they would kill the males because the males tend to hurt each other with their horns, you know, they fight each other.
	But by then cutting off the antlers, then they can turn that into a revenue stream to keep the males alive and also stop the males from hurting each other.
	So there actually are some benefits here.
	It doesn't kill the animal.
	It's renewable every year.
	And it's a natural source of some of the most powerful growth factors that can benefit human health as well and your hormone balance and all kinds of benefits that we'll talk about here with Daniel Vitalis.
	So check out this interview.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	And then I'll be back with you tomorrow with another update.
	And thank you so much for all your support.
	Thank you for having an open mind about all the variety of wild topics that I talk about.
	And let me tell you, you're going to need an open mind.
	With the guests that I have coming into my studio on Thursday, because I'll just give you a warning.
	You're going to need a mind wide open.
	But we'll play that video for you maybe Friday.
	It's coming up soon, but it's something really special.
	So enjoy this interview with Daniel Vitalis.
	Learn about wild foods and also elk antler velvet and its benefits for human health.
	And I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	Take care.
	Alright, welcome to today's episode on BrightTown.com.
	I've got a very special guest for you today, a friend of mine going way back, Daniel Vitalis.
	He is such a pioneer.
	He's got an amazing show on the Outdoor Channel, and he's also an amazing innovator of Welcome to the show, Daniel.
	It's just great to have you back on.
	It's awesome to see you, Mike.
	And like I said, you look fantastic.
	It's cool to see 10, 15 years later how all the people in the health space look when time goes by.
	You sort of see the results of the program that they've been pitching for years.
	That is so true, but you look really stout and really healthy too, and I know, I mean, you're active so much, you're outdoors doing what you're doing.
	I try to get, you know, outdoors and work on the ranch as much as I can, but not as much as you.
	But tell us what you've been up to for the last few years, because we haven't spoken in a while.
	Yeah, I just started filming the fifth season of my TV show, so it's a funny time to be on cable, you know, because everybody's like, oh, I don't have cable anymore, and it used to be a big deal to be on cable.
	But yeah, I am lucky to be on there working on my fifth season of Wild Feds, so every episode I'm out in the field procuring wild foods.
	I tell people it's a culinary adventure series, so We hunt.
	We forage.
	So that could be plants, algae, mushrooms.
	We bring those ingredients back, usually to a chef or sometimes to my own kitchen, produce meals, and then get everybody who was involved in harvesting those foods together to share in that meal.
	So there's a nice community piece at the end.
	And it's just been an awesome process for me.
	I think this is, I just shot my 41st episode.
	Wow.
	So what a great training it's been for me to deepen my knowledge of wild foods and living off the landscape.
	I would imagine there's got to be a lot of show prep where you have a basic idea of what you want to do, but then you need to dig into the details and make sure that you're covering all the bases if you're going to present that on the show, right?
	Yeah, especially working with local people who already do these things where they are.
	I film quite a few episodes here in Maine where I have some expertise in the New England area, but when I venture outside of that, I'm always trying to connect with people who do what I do in different regions because now I have the opportunity to gather wild foods from anywhere in the world.
	It's awesome to lean on the people.
	It's cool because you meet people all the time who share your passion.
	There are people into wild foods everywhere I go.
	So it's cool to seek those people out and see what kind of incredible things are on their landscape and come face to face with the things that I'm going to actually eat.
	Well, I'm so happy for you that you're able to share your extensive knowledge base with a very broad audience.
	People probably, if they don't know you, they don't know how, you know, you're like a walking encyclopedia of food knowledge.
	Seriously.
	And, in fact, last night I was thinking about the interview here today, and guess what?
	I was able to collect, just very simply, just walking around my property, a giant bowl of dewberries.
	Oh, cool.
	That are just ripe right now.
	The rain was just right this year.
	I was like, do berries.
	And I was telling my own audience, I said, you know, look, this is spontaneous food.
	Like, I didn't have to plant it.
	I didn't have to irrigate it.
	I didn't have crop rows or a tractor or anything.
	I just allowed it.
	You know how I got these berries?
	By not spraying 2,4-D herbicide.
	Right.
	That's how I got the berries.
	And there's wild food all over the place if you stop poisoning your property.
	True?
	True.
	Yeah, true.
	True.
	And you can't match the nutrition in the same way that somebody who grew up with a difficult childhood is probably going to have a stronger constitution than a person who grows up with a trust fund in a really cozy environment where parents take care of everything.
	That's what happens with food.
	So when we fence everything off and we fertilize it and we fluff the soil and we water it every day, what we end up with is foods that don't have to defend themselves.
	And with plants, they defend themselves chemically.
	And those chemicals they defend themselves with are those phytonutrients we need, not just for nutrition, but also for antioxidants.
	So for protection from radiation and sun and things like that.
	Well, whenever we get wild foods, those things have so much more of that phytonutrition because they're surviving in the wild.
	And so, you know, a cup of dewberries versus a cup of, let's say, store-bought equivalent, which would be probably like a blackberry or something like that, or a raspberry.
	Right.
	You're just going to always have more nutrition in the wild food, and so it's not just that it's spontaneous, fun, and free, which it is all that, but it's actually a superior nutrition source, and we've kind of turned our noses up at it in our obsession with domesticated crops.
	Absolutely.
	Well said.
	Let me give out your website, DanielVitalis.com.
	That's V-I-T-A-L-I-S. It's spelled just like it sounds.
	DanielVitalis.com.
	And there you are with Wild Feds Season 3.
	But like you said, Season 4 is coming out.
	And by the way, to your point, we have a lot of wild grapes here in Texas.
	We have the muscadine grapes, I believe they're called.
	Oh, yeah.
	And they are really sour, man.
	You talk about acidic.
	Whoa!
	But they're loaded with anthocyanins and they have resveratrol.
	And of course, you and I both know that resveratrol in wild grapes is much higher when the grape plants are attacked by mold.
	Right?
	So the plant generates the resveratrol to protect against the mold.
	And then, so if you harvest those leaves or those grapes where the resveratrol is, you know, it could be 50 times higher in the wild plant compared to some store-bought empty, you know, like, empty shadow of grapes.
	Right?
	Yeah, I always say to people, it's like a spectrum.
	You've got to start where you start.
	So you start at the supermarket.
	But when you can, you know, for me, it was the process of working from the supermarket to, you know, organic foods to eventually to the farmer's market and then kind of being like, wait a second.
	What's the wild progenitor of these species and kind of branching out?
	And I've had this into the wild.
	I've had this idea for a long time that human beings, homo sapiens, are a really lonely species because our only companions on the earth are like dogs and cats and domesticated houseplants.
	And there's all of these species that live in the wild, and we don't know them.
	So we're like an astronaut that showed up here afraid of the environment.
	When we go out in it, we need all this gear and equipment, and we get all dressed up like an astronaut just to go on a hike in the woods.
	And everything we see is like a wall of green.
	We don't know what anything is anymore.
	That's right.
	And if you contrast that with, let's say, a hunter-gatherer who grew up in the traditional way on the landscape, you probably couldn't find something they wouldn't know a name for.
	And, you know, even with all the experience I have, if we went out in my woods, you could point at things all day and I'd say, I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I know a lot of things, but there'd be a lot I don't know.
	But that's not a normal condition for people living on a landscape.
	We are meant to know all the creatures that are here.
	I mean, that was our first job was naming everything, right?
	Well, right.
	But to your point, you're nailing it here.
	When I first moved to my ranch in Texas that you know about, I didn't know anything that was growing.
	I didn't know what the trees were doing.
	I didn't know what were these brush leaves over here.
	What is this stuff?
	I had no idea.
	Now, 15 years later, oh my God, I look at it, it all makes sense.
	This is where water wants to be.
	This is a source of food for the deer.
	The north side of here, this is where there's less sun.
	This is where the berries are going to grow next year.
	It's like you can read it, right?
	You now understand the code of nature.
	I'm not an expert in other areas, but in my area, I'm an expert now.
	I can read it and I can tell you what's going on.
	I can tell you what the soil is like by what's growing there.
	Yeah, and that wall of green disambiguates into individual species.
	And so I think of it like if I was in a new town, I would look around.
	I wouldn't know anybody.
	So I might feel a little insecure there.
	I don't know my way around.
	I don't know who's who or what's what.
	Versus your hometown where you're walking down the street, you know that person, you know that person, you know that building and where that store is and where all the resources are.
	So when I go into nature, it's not just like, oh, that's a birch tree.
	It's like, that's a birch tree.
	But what kind?
	Well, that's a gold birch and I get my chaga from that and I tap those trees in the spring and I know that bark is really good for...
	You know, kindling a fire.
	Right.
	And I see the oak tree and it's like, OK, that's where my acorns come from.
	But also that's where I'm going to find the deer and the turkeys and the bears.
	And and as I go through, the more things I know, the more connected I am.
	And so we're learning a lot about human longevity and the importance of interpersonal connection and how that plays into somebody's longevity.
	And I would argue that over time we're going to come to understand that an ecological interconnectedness might be just as important so that we don't live our lives like Martians who arrived here, you know, two months ago and are trying to set up some kind of, you know, habitat for ourselves.
	It's like we are from here.
	Isn't it fascinating how the so-called environmental movement has become so one dimensional?
	It's just focused on eliminating carbon, but not knowing anything about the world.
	I would really argue that the crisis we're dealing with ecologically is not climate at all.
	It's actually biodiversity and habitat.
	And what's interesting is you don't want to bring that up politically because it's corporations, military-industrial complex that are destroying habitat and environment and biodiversity.
	And they want to blame the people.
	So that's why they bring up carbon emissions.
	So they can blame you and me.
	They don't want to have to look at what impact the military-industrial complex, the chemical industry is having on the environment.
	So they just bring up carbon.
	Then they can carbon offset and they can be squeaky clean and we can pay the bill.
	But the funny thing is we weren't mindless consumers 100 years ago.
	This was foisted upon us by Edward Bernays, who had learned psychology from his uncle Sigmund Freud and who worked with corporations and government to turn us, even those of us that resisted it, into consumers like we are today.
	And that was documented really well by PBS in their three-part documentary series called The Century of Self, which is like watching an Alex Jones documentary, but it was made by PBS.
	You know what I mean?
	It's incredible.
	And it details how that was done.
	And so here we are today.
	We're being blamed to ask to pick up the bill for this while we continue to lose species and biodiversity.
	So like as somebody who lives in Maine, when I was a kid, if you drove from northern Maine to southern Maine in the summer, the entire front of your car would be caked in a one-inch thick layer of dead insects.
	Today you can make that drive, and if you saw a fifth of those insects on your car, it would be incredible.
	People don't realize, because of shifting baseline syndrome, they don't realize how much biodiversity we're losing, and they're all thinking about climate and temperature, which is not the real issue.
	Well, absolutely.
	We're suffering, really, a great extinction of the insect biomass you just mentioned, but also in aquatic ecosystems.
	We're poisoning the planet, and we're cutting down The forest to plant GMO soy, and we're polluting everything.
	Those are the real crises.
	We could spend a whole episode on that.
	Maybe we'll talk about that another time.
	But I want to talk about what you brought to us, what we're partnering on right now, because you're really good at wild food sources, of course, but also in longevity and helping to rebalance hormone systems, not just for men, but also for women as well.
	So let me just mention this right up front.
	HealthRangerStore.com slash Vitalis gets you to this page where we have now the black walnut protein powder, which is wild crafted from Daniel Vitalis's company, Sir Thrival, as well as now various forms of the elk antler velvet product, which is just truly revolutionary.
	So, Daniel, I want to say, I mean, this is a dream come true for me because I know your whole history of food and nutrition and longevity.
	And I've spent a considerable amount of time with you.
	We even filmed a couple of episodes on my ranch years ago.
	I remember you were making kindling with a bushcrafting knife.
	We were doing stuff like that.
	Let's start with the black walnut protein powder, because that's unique in the industry.
	Yeah, I've been in this industry now, I want to say 16 years.
	Yeah, 16 years I've had Surthrival and I've been really blessed.
	We've been a profitable company from day one and we've made really unique products.
	We've done it in a really different way than most of the companies launch.
	And most of the supplement industry is sitting on a lot of dark secrets.
	You know, if people really knew, I mean you know because you test these products, but If people knew what was really in a lot of these health food products, I think they'd be pretty shocked.
	So when I created this product, this black walnut protein powder, and I got to say, I couldn't have done it without the company that I'm partnered with, Hammond's Black Walnuts.
	We created what I've been telling people is a perfect product.
	What I mean by that is there's just no secrets.
	There's just nothing to hide.
	It is the greatest story I've ever seen in a health food.
	The product is really fascinating.
	It starts with black walnuts, which are endemic to the United States.
	This is the wild walnut of North America.
	When people think walnuts, the walnut they're picturing is the English walnut.
	to crack because they're domesticated.
	They've been bred like the way we've bred dogs.
	They've been bred to have a lot of nut meat and a really small, thin shell that easily breaks off and you get this very high yield of nut meat.
	Well, that's great.
	But like we talked about before, you end up losing nutritional value.
	And in order to have those, we got to cut down a lot of habitat to plant orchards for those nuts.
	And when you do that, of course, now you need to fertilize, you need to irrigate, you need to bring in workers and all these kinds of things.
	Well, all that while that we've been doing that, black walnuts have been wild here on the North American landscape.
	They've been here the whole time.
	They were an important food crop for Native American people, and they were an important food crop for early colonists as well.
	And they've sort of fallen out of favor.
	One of the reasons is they have a very small nut-to-shell ratio, so you end up with a very small yield.
	7% nut meat out of the shell would be awesome.
	So a very small yield and they got a very strong flavor like a lot of wild foods do.
	And so the only people really buying them today are folks who remember them from the past and use them for baking and ice creams and things like that.
	But hold on a second.
	When you say they have a very strong flavor, you're absolutely correct.
	But I just want to point out that's the medicine.
	Yeah, you're right.
	The strong flavor.
	Your tongue is detecting those medicinal chemicals that are in the nut.
	Correct.
	It's one of the reasons I'll tell people, if you really want to improve your health, one thing you can do is develop appreciation for bitter flavors.
	Yes.
	Because once you're used to bitter flavors, and by the way, the research does show that if you expose children when they're very young to bitter flavors, they'll like them more as adults.
	And so a lot of us who grew up in that era of everything came out of a box and was made ultra-palatable, these highly processed, not even processed, industrialized foods...
	Now when we taste stuff that's bitter, we kind of recoil when in reality that's really what we want to be chasing down.
	And the other thing I'll say about that is when you crack open any pharmaceutical tablet and taste it outside of that Candy-coated shell.
	It's bitter inside because medicine's bitter.
	And that originally came in our plants primarily.
	But anyway, so black walnuts have kind of been forgotten about.
	Well, there's one company still involved in the black walnut harvest and in the market called Hammond's.
	They've been doing it for 75 years.
	They're a beautiful Christian family, completely American-owned family.
	And this is how they get their nut meats, is they send out 200 hulling stations in 13 states in the Midwest.
	And every October, people who have black walnut trees in their yards, on their land, they go out and they pick these nuts up and they bring them to these hulling stations where they're run through a huller and then people are paid by the pound.
	So this is like a volunteer workforce, Americans.
	Completely decentralized, local, not a food factory.
	Right.
	Decentralized.
	And so if you had a ranch like you have, you could say, you know what, I'm going to host one of these hauling stations.
	They bring it to you.
	So it's a lot of Amish get involved in it, a lot of people with hardware stores, farms.
	They'll hold one of these hauling stations in October, and then anybody comes in.
	I spent a day filming at one of these, and it was so cool to talk to the people who came in because...
	They were either, you know, families who used to still do it with grandma because she did it when she was a kid.
	It was, you know, parents who were teaching their kids about how to make money.
	It was kids who wanted archery equipment for hunting.
	So they were like, you know, I just want to get arrows and so I'm bringing these in.
	It was cool to see what kind of people do it.
	But yeah, totally decentralized.
	Then when they get those nuts, they bring them to their factory where they shell them and process them into nut meats.
	But like I said, not so many folks want to eat those nut meats anymore.
	So what we're doing is taking those and running them through a CO2 extraction, which I'm sure you're familiar with, Mike, but I'll kind of explain to the listener.
	Carbon dioxide, you know, the villainized carbon dioxide that plants breathe, if we were to compress it, it's a gas, compress it hard enough, you'll turn it into a liquid.
	That liquid can be used as a solvent to extract things, kind of like how alcohol is used in a tincture.
	But then when you take the pressure off, it turns to a gas again and evaporates and leaves no residue.
	So you can have extremely clean extractions.
	So that's how they're doing the medical cannabis extractions.
	But you don't typically do it for a protein extraction because it's expensive and time consuming.
	And so you'll rarely see that for the protein.
	Most proteins from plants are going to be extracted with expeller pressing, which is a higher heat process, and it cooks the product as it happens.
	We're using the CO2 extraction.
	The reason is simple.
	Let's imagine a hemp protein.
	What you have there is there's a desire to get the oil out.
	They want to sell the oil and what was left over used to be fed to livestock until somebody realized, hey, there's a lot of protein in what's left over.
	Let's turn it into people food.
	So it's a byproduct.
	But with our black walnut protein powder, it's not a byproduct.
	We actually are after the protein fraction, so we do that more expensive but cleaner and more raw extraction with the CO2. What I love about this is that we have Wild trees on the landscape left intact because we're giving value to those nuts.
	So if you had one of those trees, let's say, in your front yard, and in the past you might have thought, man, maybe we'll cut this thing down.
	It just drops these nuts every year.
	They're really hard to get into.
	But now there's value on them.
	So you know what?
	You leave the tree intact, which is habitat for birds and for squirrels, and those nuts are food for wildlife.
	At scale, the way we're doing it, we're preserving habitat.
	We also don't have to water those trees.
	They're watered by the rain.
	We don't have to fertilize those trees.
	They're fertilized by just natural processes.
	And we don't need to bring in a labor force.
	So you think about how orchards are picked.
	Typically, you're bringing in a workforce.
	There's a lot of issues with that labor.
	We don't have any of that.
	We have volunteer Americans going out and picking these things up.
	All of that goes to a three-generation family-owned business who breaks those nut meats down, passes them to us.
	We do that extraction.
	And what's cool is because this is a wild nut, the black walnut has the highest protein content of any tree nut crop.
	That is so cool.
	So you end up with 17 grams of protein per serving, which is typically in a plant-based protein going to be 14 or 15 grams per serving.
	So at the same 30-gram serving, we have the highest protein of any plant-based protein, very high quality, still have some of those residual medicinal benefits of a wild food in this really excellent American-sourced protein product.
	It's very smooth, and you can taste the black walnut properties in it, so it retains the benefits of wild food, like you said.
	And by the way, our store, we sell hemp protein, and there's a lot of pea protein formulations, and that's all fine.
	Everybody's got a little different taste.
	Personally, I don't like the taste of hemp protein.
	I've never liked it.
	Some people do, which is fine.
	But I tend to use whey protein, and now I'm mixing your protein.
	Thank you for sending some samples.
	I'm mixing your protein into my smoothies here.
	And every time I'm drinking it, I'm picking up the black walnut flavor.
	And I'm remembering that my grandmother, who lived on a farm in the Midwest, used to make black walnut cookies.
	And I'm remembering that as a kid, because I was consuming so much processed food and so many sweets that were served by the school and so on, that I didn't like black walnuts as a kid.
	But now I do, because I appreciate it, and my taste is very different today.
	I mean, I drink turmeric, for God's sake, right?
	But as a kid, I wouldn't touch this stuff.
	How crazy is that?
	Yeah, it's a nut that is a lot nicer when you have the whole nut meats.
	They're nice cooked.
	I had them in a lot of savory dishes when I visited the folks out at Hammond's because they just eat these things constantly.
	So they showed me a bunch of their dishes.
	But people are used to eating nuts out of the bag, and it's a strong flavor.
	So I understand where people are coming from.
	So what I'm excited to be able to do is put this into a protein format because modern Americans know what to do with protein powder.
	True.
	True.
	And they don't know what to do with those nut meats unless they're familiar with cooking with them.
	So this puts it in a format that can preserve the food culture around it.
	I've got a friend, Sam Thayer, out in Wisconsin who's probably the best known of the wild food foragers in the U.S. and probably the most researched and educated on the topic.
	And he wrote a fantastic essay about what he calls ecoculture, which is the wild food equivalent to agriculture.
	So that's creating food systems around wild foods.
	And he points out, everybody always says, 8 billion people can't eat wild foods.
	And I agree that they can't, not currently.
	But he's like, it isn't impossible.
	It just takes tending to wild crops in the way that native peoples did on this continent.
	Which was much more heavily populated than we used to think.
	Right now we understand when Europeans got here, from one coast to the other, this whole continent was peopled.
	And they were eating primarily wild foods, but they had developed ecoculture.
	They had got these wild food crops producing huge amounts of food, and they'd mastered the technologies of working with those foods.
	Now, that's a long way off.
	I'm not trying to say that's where we're going to get to.
	But it's really exciting to me when there is a wild crop like this one that we can work with to create a food system around it.
	Because it's our food heritage here in North America.
	It's something we should be really proud of.
	And unfortunately, most Americans aren't aware that it's even there.
	So by putting it into a protein, I'm hoping I can really get it in front of people who otherwise would never know about black walnuts or at least never eat them.
	Well, I've got to just tell my audience here, you've got to try this because it's a very rich but also smooth protein powder.
	You can add it to smoothies, you can add it to the existing recipes, or you can blend it with whey protein like I'm doing.
	It's at healthrangerstore.com slash vitalis, and there's a product right there.
	Now, of course, look, this is not a low-cost, cheap protein powder.
	Right.
	Look at what it takes to get this, but this is a real treasure of North America, and it's a native food, and you're helping to support the decentralization of the food supply.
	Hand-foraged by Americans.
	Right.
	I mean, that's just a really cool story.
	You know, it's such a cool thing because even the shells are used in industry, so they're used as a metal polish.
	The Statue of Liberty, last time it was polished, was polished with Hammond's black walnut shells.
	No kidding.
	Yeah, very cool story.
	There's a lot of depth here and a lot of meaning.
	I also want to add that because it's a fine flour, it's really excellent for baking.
	Anybody who's used to using alternative flours and they are used to cutting in spelt or quinoa or any other of those kind of almond, this is one of the best baking flours that we've used because it's such a fine texture.
	It's really excellent.
	If you want a protein-fortified cookie, muffin, pancake, waffle, anything like that, you can add a scoop in.
	My wife's a coach at a CrossFit gym here.
	And so we often will bring in the protein cookies, and everybody gets so excited, you know?
	I'm sure.
	They're like, okay, well, it's a protein cookie.
	I guess I can have it, you know?
	So it's a way to fortify things.
	You know, it was really nice to have this around for Christmas and Thanksgiving because we could really kind of fortify foods with more nutrition, more wild nutrition.
	Yeah, yeah, amazing.
	And by the way, I just want to mention, you know, we're all living in the post-COVID era, at least those of us who didn't die from it.
	And if you eat wild foods, folks, guess what?
	Your immune system works better.
	You're going to be more resilient against everything that might assault you, just like the plants are more resilient because that's why they create those chemicals, as Daniel said.
	A plant can't run out to a pharmacy and get some synthetic chemical.
	It's got to make it itself, and that's what plants do.
	They make their own defense systems.
	So when you take those in, you get the benefit of those defense systems.
	It's done.
	I mean, why should this even be an aha type of topic?
	It should be like this is the natural knowledge of every human being.
	But it shows that we didn't grow up in a natural environment.
	We grew up in a built environment.
	And one reason I make Wild Fat as a TV show, I tell people all the time, I mean, I want people to eat wild foods.
	I want people to have meaningful connections to nature.
	But ultimately, for me, it's a Trojan horse.
	I do it as an antidote to the metaverse.
	And so I see it like this.
	We've spent so many generations in the built environment, and each generation has been sequentially more and more removed from the natural environment.
	But now we're about to move into the digital environment, where a person could, in 50 years, conceivably never even experience nature.
	And that, to me, is unacceptable.
	And so by connecting people to wild food, I'm trying to create an inroad.
	Because...
	Because when you go into the built environment, everything's made by people, but it's made out of stuff that you could ultimately trace to nature.
	But when you go into the digital environment, mankind is kind of God there.
	They created that universe.
	And you could essentially miss the fingerprint of God.
	That's how I see it.
	So nature, at least when you go into nature, you go, hey, whatever did this is beyond humanity.
	And it's so important that we have a connection to something bigger than ourselves.
	True.
	And especially something that's not named Mark Zuckerberg.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Which means giant block of sugar, I believe.
	Does it?
	Does it now?
	Zucker.
	Yeah, Zucker.
	Oh, Zucker.
	Oh, okay.
	I was thinking a giant block of something, but not sugar.
	A berg of something.
	Okay, let's move on.
	So now you've also got your elk antler velvet products under Sir Thrival, which I know you've been working on these formulations for many years, and we're really honored to be able to carry these at the Health Ranger store now.
	And speak about this because a lot of people don't realize, you know, this is a renewable source, and it's very humanely harvested from the elk, by the way, for those who are concerned about, well, how are the animals treated?
	Well, guess what?
	They keep making, you know, more antlers, by the way.
	But tell us about the velvet, please.
	Yeah, well, probably one of the most unique and exciting organs in the animal kingdom is the antlers of cervids.
	Cervids are the deer family.
	Think deer, but also remember elk are a big deer.
	Moose are the biggest of the extant currently living.
	I sometimes fantasize about that elk from Europe.
	I forget what it's called, but its antlers were...
	I don't know, 15 feet across or something, you know.
	There's been a lot of big deer throughout time.
	But all those deer species, they don't have horns, they have antlers.
	So horns are like a hollow keratin, like what a cow has.
	But antlers are more of like an osteus or bone material and they grow out every year and then they fall off in the winter.
	So anybody who's ever been shed hunting or walking through the woods and found antlers, well that's because those animals drop the antlers every year.
	So they're renewable in that sense.
	The males will continue to grow them every year.
	Well, that was observed by people all over the world throughout history who said, wait a second, what's in those that they grow that fast?
	I mean, if you think about an elk's antler, which could be four, six feet long, those are growing at times two inches a day.
	What?
	It's unbelievable.
	That's crazy.
	If you can get up to those, and all that growth's happening at the tips.
	So those tips are just rapidly growing.
	And in the beginning, it's like a bulb, like a circular almost kind of lumpy bulb that then differentiates into all the tines.
	If you can get up and ever put your hands on the antlers, the velvet antlers.
	So late in the season when hunters go out or in the fall when you see deer, that's ossified and turned to bone.
	But in the spring and summer when it's growing, if you can get your hands onto it, it's got a pulse in it.
	It's warm.
	Those are living organs.
	I'm sure you've got thermal optics, Mike, and if you look at those through thermal in the summer, you'll see that they're just hot, living tissue, black, hot, white, hot, whatever you're looking at, living, warm tissue.
	Well, that has skin, that has hair, that has veins and arteries, that has lymphatic tissue, rapidly expanding osteus tissue.
	So for that growth to happen at that speed, because that's going to go from a nothing to a six-foot antler in just a couple of months, For it to do that, the substances that have to be present in the growing tip are extremely androgenic.
	If you were going to ask yourself, I'm 45 now.
	I am really not wanting to have to experiment with pharmaceutical drugs to maintain my anabolism.
	I want to continue to work out at the gym, hold lean body mass, have a high rate of metabolic activity.
	I want to be able to train hard.
	I want to do that as naturally as I can.
	You ask yourself, what are the most steroidal substances in the natural world that aren't illegal, that don't have damaging side effects?
	Well, the rapidly growing antlers of all of the deer species have always been considered that in China, especially, and later in Russia.
	In fact, the Russians got really into this in the early 1900s, and they started to ask themselves, how can we get the most out of these antlers?
	And they developed what's called the Russian method of extraction.
	So prior to that, the Chinese would get these antlers, and they would boil them down and make something called pantocrine.
	It's part of traditional Chinese medicine.
	Yeah, very traditional Chinese medicine.
	But a lot of the substances, the delicate substances, were lost.
	And those delicate substances are growth factors.
	And growth factors are really cool substances because these are proteins that regulate tissue proliferation.
	Probably most famous would be IGF-1, which is a precursor to human growth hormone.
	So, you know, you see a lot of bodybuilders and fitness people.
	Anybody who follows fitness accounts on Instagram, it's just a nauseating stream of people on drugs, you know?
	That look amazing, but they're all on drugs.
	And one of the drugs they're on is human growth hormone, and it will have negative side effects because all tissues are growing, right?
	So you're growing.
	When you're on a pharmaceutical HGH, your guts are getting bigger.
	Your skull's getting bigger.
	Like, not necessarily the results everybody wants, and so very specific, right?
	Yeah.
	I want some of those benefits, but I want them milder and sustainable over time in a way that's not going to have a negative impact, and I get that through elk antlers.
	Again, we're talking about elk because they're a North American species.
	They're known around the world also as Wapati, which is the indigenous name for them.
	Elk or Wapati are an indigenous to North American deer.
	They have bigger, more powerful antler sets.
	And they are being farmed in the United States.
	But the thing is, you can't really domesticate them.
	So if you've got an elk farm, chances are you're taking the antlers off either way, whether you use them as a renewable resource or not.
	And that's because you'll have loss in the herd.
	Out in the wild, those animals are going to lock up and fight around the rut as they compete for females.
	But if they're in a fenced-in area, they will kill each other.
	And so farmers have always removed those just so that they can keep their herd alive, you know, so that they don't lose animals that way.
	But eventually it came to be understood that there was a And it incentivizes keeping big, powerful males alive and not using them for venison because each year they'll reproduce their antler set, but bigger.
	Every hunter knows that.
	A three-year-old animal is going to have nice antlers, but a four-, five-, six-year-old animal, they start getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
	Well, that's what the farmers have learned.
	What we're doing is taking those antlers, but just the tips, the undifferentiated bulbs at the tip.
	That's really important and one of the reasons our product is so premium.
	Most antler products are coming out of China or they're coming out of New Zealand where they have different laws and rules about how they do it.
	We have, and where there's contamination of some pharmaceuticals as well that they give these animals.
	So we're working with clean North American herds.
	We're taking just the antler tips, and here's why.
	As you go down the antler, you have ossification happening, so it's turning to bone.
	And that bone material is good as a supplement, actually.
	You know, there's chondroitin in it and glucosamine, but you don't have those growth factors.
	Those are in the tips.
	And what we're doing is taking those tips, freeze drying them, which reduces them about 43 times in weight.
	And so they're going from wet organs that have blood and all that connective tissue, and they're being dried out like astronaut food.
	And then we grind that down and we use ultrasound in a very high quality organic grape ethanol.
	So imagine you make a vodka out of wine, a very, very high end alcohol product.
	That way you have no concerns about the GMOs and grains and things like that.
	Very clean alcohol.
	We use this amazing ultrasound technology to extract those growth factors and all those other substances out into the alcohol.
	And then we bottle that in Muron glass, which is impenetrable to visible light, so that light degradation is not happening.
	We're not getting any of that oxidation from light.
	So we've taken what was called the Russian method and improved it in multiple ways.
	We improved it with the quality of the raw material going from New Zealand deer to elk.
	We've got a higher grade of alcohol.
	We've got a better extraction method and the best glass that this has ever been put in.
	So we think when it comes to natural anabolic products, like something you want to take for improved lean body mass, for improved metabolism, even for all of the different collagens that are in there for tissue growth and repair, and then of course those all important growth factors, like it's never been done to this level before.
	So we're really, really proud of that.
	That product's all being sourced right here in North America.
	Wow.
	That's just extraordinary.
	And thank you for walking us through all of that.
	I was reminded of, you know, I did a video about ultrasonic extraction of rosemary herb.
	And the ultrasonic extraction is by far the most efficient way to do this.
	And if you have the right solvents, like you said, then you can do a really potent extraction, which gives you a real high...
	It's fast.
	That's the thing.
	I've heard people say, oh, I have this alcohol and herbs.
	It's been sitting on the shelf for eight months.
	It's getting stronger.
	I'm like, you could have done that in 17 minutes with the ultrasonic machine over here.
	But then you're talking about just using the tips and I think this is really important because I've seen a lot of lower cost, lower grade deer antler velvet and elk antler velvet.
	You're right, it comes out of China and it's pretty much just like ground up bone.
	That's it.
	Yeah, you're buying basically a dog chew toy that's been extracted, right?
	So you now see all these antlers.
	So these farmers who raise deer species, any of the cervids, they're looking to maximize all of their profit from all of their different resources.
	And so they're saying, hey, let's use these lower parts of the antler.
	We'll use that for dog chew toys.
	Those will be sold cheap.
	Then the mids get put into capsules.
	And then Very few companies actually...
	I don't actually know of anybody who competes with us in this market, to be perfectly honest with you.
	Mostly what they're going to do, even if they have tips, is they're going to cut mids and bases into it.
	And that's because if you go to a farmer and you say, hey, I want to just get tips, they need to now find a market for the lowers and the mids.
	And so they need to charge you quite a bit more for that.
	And so it ends up pushing the price point of our product up, but that means we're going to have more of those growth factors.
	And in fact, I bet you could find a lot of products on the market that don't contain any of the growth factors because they're made either with dead material, necrotic tissue.
	Some places, the way they harvest, they actually end up with necrotic tissue, which is really disgusting.
	I mean, you're talking about this isn't like a bone when you take it off.
	It's a living organ.
	It's more like your arm or something like that.
	You want that thing alive and fresh and immediately frozen.
	We could go down to Chinatown right now and we could find deer antler slices But they're going to look like bone.
	They're going to be hard.
	They're not going to have any of that living material in there.
	So you want all that stuff in there.
	Because again, those growth factors are what's stimulating tissue regeneration.
	And by the way, I want to address something.
	I've had folks say to me, hey, IGF-1, well, is there a concern about tissues you don't want to grow?
	Because if somebody had a...
	There's a tumor or something like that.
	Do you want to feed growth factors?
	There's also a tumor necrosis factor in there as well, which is really cool.
	There's this natural balance of things in there.
	Another one I'm really excited about for folks to know is that there's a nerve growth stimulant factor.
	And I'm a huge fan of medicinal mushrooms.
	There's been a big push for lion's mane and other heresium mushrooms because they have a precursor to nerve growth stimulant factor.
	In antler products, you have legit nerve growth stimulant factor.
	So if I had had a spinal injury or if I had had Any kind of injury that compromised nerve tissue, if I had had an amputation, if I had had an organ replacement, if I had just had a surgery, anything like that, I would be really thinking about a product like this that could feed me those kind of growth factors that could be...
	It's pretty important to rapid healing.
	So it's not just for people who are into exercise, anybody who's had an injury, anybody who's looking to hold lean body mass, anything like that.
	The suite of 24 growth factors that are found in there are very comprehensive and you don't have the side effects or problems that are associated with taking a pharmaceutical version of these growth factors.
	Wow, wow.
	Okay, you may not know this, but I've shared this story with my audience.
	I'll keep it really short, but it was about a year ago that I nearly lacerated my trigger finger.
	I mean, I almost lost the finger.
	It was that bad.
	Yeah, it was an accident on the ranch.
	And the fingertip went numb.
	I lacerated all the lateral tendons, blood vessels.
	I mean, it was bad.
	It was like I didn't know if I was going to keep the finger.
	Can you imagine trying to go through this world without your trigger finger?
	Use it for all kinds of things.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But I determined that the bone wasn't broken, and I didn't even go to the emergency room.
	I said, look, I know how to stop bleeding.
	I did that.
	I know about nutrition.
	So over a period of several months, I used lion's mane mushroom.
	I used a lot of topical...
	Items on it and never even got stitches.
	And dude, it has healed up to such an extent now that it's almost unbelievable.
	And it came back with extra sensitivity.
	So I ended up with like 200% of fingertips sensitivity.
	I did.
	No, I have like this braille reading finger now.
	Wow.
	Which is super sensitive for trigger control as well.
	It's really odd.
	I didn't realize that if all my fingers had been regrown the nerves, it would be super sensitive.
	Maybe that's the way it was when you were five.
	But now I have this one finger that's extra sensitive.
	Yeah.
	Because I had to grow back the nerves.
	Good outcome.
	So that's really interesting.
	I don't think we've explored nerve regeneration nearly to the extent that we could.
	And I mean, I'm so impressed with, I feel like we're at a mix right now.
	We have a medical system that in some ways is like Civil War era.
	And in other ways, you know, especially on like at the plastic surgery level, reconstructive surgery, it's pretty impressive what we're capable of.
	Right.
	I would love to see more in that area where we get the finesse down.
	For me, like you, I'm the type who's going to avoid going into the hospital almost every time.
	It has to be something pretty severe for me to think, That's where I want to go.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I'm going to lose something if I go in there.
	They're going to take something from me.
	I'm going to lose something.
	No, they're going to say that you have COVID and then boom, you're on a ventilator, right?
	Yeah, who knows what, right?
	Right.
	I just want to avoid it.
	But anyway, I think that we've thought for a long time that once nerves were damaged, they were just damaged.
	And now we're learning that actually there's quite a bit of repair and regeneration possible.
	Absolutely.
	And, you know, so I just think that's exciting terrain.
	And I think Because, of course, we know that a salamander can regenerate a limb or a lizard, right?
	But with mammals, you just don't typically see it.
	And what's neat about antlers is they're the only mammalian organ that regenerates completely.
	Like that every year.
	There's really nothing else like that.
	And so that's where we need to be looking.
	And in fact, there's so much cool science now.
	I've got a fantastic book here, Antler Science and Product Technology.
	And in it, they're talking about actually using early stage antler as a lattice for bone implant.
	There's some really cool stuff that can be done here.
	There's unfortunately not a tremendous amount of science that's been done on the kind of extracts we're talking about.
	I'll give you one really cool study I just pulled up recently.
	This was done by the Benedictine University Institute.
	East Tennessee State and University of Florida combined on this.
	But they were doing one rep max weightlifting tests.
	They had folks on 1350 milligrams of powdered antler a day, which to me is like not even the strong stuff, right?
	You're going to break most of that down in the gut, like as if it's just meat or something.
	So not even a very powerful...
	They're not looking at alcohol extracts like we're doing.
	They're just looking at the raw material.
	But here was their outcome.
	They got...
	4.2% increase on bench press over their control group.
	9.9% increase strength in the squat.
	Wait, over what duration?
	This was done over...
	I'll have to look it up, but I'll look it up for you.
	I don't remember offhand.
	I just grabbed these notes today.
	But they got a 9.8% increase in VO2 max.
	So when you're looking at longevity, a couple things you're looking at are strength as a proxy for longevity and VO2 max.
	That's essentially your ability to do cardiovascular work and how much oxygen you can process.
	Those are...
	You probably know, Mike, getting a 4.2% increase or a 9.9% increase in your strength training is pretty awesome.
	I would like an almost 10% increase in my squat.
	That would be great.
	An almost 10% increase in your VO2 max It's pretty impressive.
	Absolutely.
	I think that what we need is more studies being done on these extracts because unfortunately that torch was dropped by the Russians and it hasn't really been picked up.
	So we've got a lot of studies on the individual constituents, but I'm really excited to see where antler products take us in the next decade as it's looked at a little bit more because just a lot of great opportunities in the longevity space.
	You talk about muscle mass and cardiovascular potential, but there's also a lot of hormonal balance that takes place from this or hormone augmentation.
	Because I think people's bodies are so messed up today with all the exposure to plasticizer chemicals and hormone mimickers and hormone disruptors.
	It's all throughout the food supply and the environment and all the chemicals that are in your carpet glue and everything else.
	You move into a new home and it's like this toxic stew and they've sealed the whole thing up.
	In order to make it green and ecological so there's not one cubic meter of air ever leaks out of the home.
	So where do the toxins go?
	Oh, you're breathing them in.
	Yeah.
	I had one of those days this week where I had to go into Lowe's and Home Depot.
	And in addition to the fact that it felt like Costco in the movie Idiocracy, I felt literally poisoned by the time I left.
	The VOCs in there are so intense and it just makes you think, wow, all new building.
	There's a new restaurant in the town.
	I live in a really small town and we got a new restaurant recently.
	So you go in to check it out and you walk in and just hit with a wall of volatile organic compounds.
	So yeah, all that stuff's in us.
	The amount of plastics.
	I mean, I think back, Mike, I remember the very first plastic peanut butter container commercial.
	Because I remember it was a person opened a high cabinet, and the bottle of peanut butter comes falling out, tumbling out in there.
	And you're watching it, and as a viewer, you're like, oh no, it's about to smash, because I grew up with all containers like that were glass.
	So you think, oh, it's about to break, and then it hits the counter and bounces, and it was like, oh, wow, cool, new idea, plastic containers for regular everyday foods.
	I'm only 45.
	This is new stuff.
	We've been exposed to so many new chemicals and there's so many new chemicals coming out every day and at my age I'll just say it's a lot of people in my circle who are struggling with fertility.
	And while we were wondering if there was going to be this Orwellian depopulation strategy, it turns out, no, it's a new world.
	It was like a brave new world strategy instead.
	You ate all the plastic.
	It already happened.
	We're just not reproducing.
	People are living in gender-bender chemical toxic stew.
	Yeah.
	So anything we can put into our diet that can help to bolster, you know, and it's so interesting because you look at like, well, what is the precursor to our hormones?
	Well, it turns out it's cholesterol.
	What was everybody told not to eat anything of?
	You know, it's really interesting, right?
	Get off fats, get off cholesterol.
	And it turns out, whoa, we need some of that stuff.
	What's really exciting about antler products, too, in addition to what we were talking about before with lean body mass and metabolism, is that this is an animal that's getting ready for the rut.
	What it's about to do is go from its regular life, which is like eating grass and sneaking around the woods, to now it wants to fight Other males and then reproduce.
	So the hormones and hormone precursors are very dense in that material.
	And so it's another product that you can kind of add into your arsenal.
	I first got excited about this, you know, with my pine pollen products because of the, you know, testosterone and other things that are found in those.
	And so I've been chasing this theme of hormones for a long time.
	And yeah, antler is probably one of, I'd say antler, pine pollen, and just making sure you have those bases in your diet that are important.
	I think there's a lot of lifestyle factors as well that really matter.
	I think fitness is a really big piece of that.
	Maximal strength efforts and things like that are really important for your hormones.
	But ultimately, yeah, you want a diet that supports it because right now, whether you like it or not, almost all of us are eating a diet that does the opposite because we all have these plastics and these endocrine disruptors and all these things in our diet that are always chipping away from Thank you.
	So true, so true.
	Okay, so again, folks, healthrangerstore.com slash Vitalis takes you to the page here, and you can get the elk antler velvet products as well as the black walnut.
	And remember, like everything that we sell, we are also subjecting the survival products to our laboratory testing.
	So we're doing all the heavy levels.
	It's very, you're really the only one that I know of.
	When we bring a product to you, you run it through your lab.
	Just so people are aware, that's not a normal thing to do.
	It's very unusual in this industry.
	In fact, it's an industry that thrives on a lack of deep introspection into these things.
	And so what you're doing is so novel and so important.
	And I've watched you over this last, I don't know how long you've been, how long have you had the lab now?
	Since 2013, yeah, so over a decade.
	You've put the industry on its toes, man.
	People know now, like, oh, I better be careful because it'll come out if there's metals.
	I remember you broke some stories early in on some companies that everybody assumed had all this dialed in.
	It turned out they didn't.
	And so it was a real wake-up call to the industry.
	So for us to have you sell our products means a lot to us because we know that you're doing the deep dive.
	And the questions you guys ask I'll just say are a lot deeper than we're used to being asked by other companies.
	Oh, there's no question about it.
	I mean, it takes us a long time to even bring in a new product, as you know, because we have to go through all of this due diligence of lab testing, and that all takes time.
	And by the way, Daniel, if you ever get to Central Texas again, I'd love to personally take you through our lab and just give you a tour because we now have, I think it's seven mass spec instruments now.
	It's really amazing.
	And we're going to be testing.
	The newest one we have is a triple quad gas chromatography instrument at GC where we're gearing it up to run dioxin testing.
	Oh, wow.
	Nobody tests for dioxins in their food products because it's a major hassle to do it.
	Sample prep is a huge pain.
	Wow.
	Yeah, and I just...
	What you might uncover could be frightening.
	Yeah, I know.
	We have a slogan like, never test what you eat.
	That's for the other people at the lab.
	It's like, hey, you eat at this restaurant?
	Yeah, bring some of that in.
	Let's test it.
	And then they test it like, I'm never eating there again.
	Probably greenest people.
	You got to be cautious.
	But changing the subject, though, something that you would be interested in, and I got to show you this just because I know you'll appreciate it.
	You know, you and I have both done a lot of things over the last decade or whenever since we...
	We're visiting last.
	One of the things that I did, I worked with this Dawson Knives out of Arizona, and we have our own line of MagnaCut alloy corrosion-resistant knives with G10 handles and oversized Features, like the finger guard, and then three points here where you can use paracord and you can make a spear out of it.
	So this is a bushcrafting knife.
	I've got to get one of these to you, because you, among all the people, would appreciate it.
	I would love that.
	I just want to point out, I see right in the blade profile that belly that you have.
	I end up doing a lot of skinning, and so a lot of knives that are good everyday carry knives don't have enough belly to skin, and you end up damaging hides.
	And so that knife looks like it would really be good.
	I could see I could get my hand up pretty high on that blade and really use it for that job.
	That's really nice.
	It's a multipurpose bushcrafting type of knife.
	Of course, I mean, I'm not here to plug these knives, but this is more of a combat knife.
	Oh, Oh, yeah, I love that.
	Yeah, I love a draw point like that.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I just got to tell you, you know, I mean, what I love about connecting with you on this is that you and I have, for many years, we've always, you know, deepened our knowledge about prepping, and you, especially with wild foods and nutrition and nutrition science with my lab and so on and so forth.
	But, you know, year after year, continue to innovate things that work, things that work for people.
	Because this is what we're using every day.
	I mean, when you're out in the wild, not only are you nailing down wild foods, but I'm sure you're also realizing what gear doesn't work and what gear does work very quickly.
	Yeah, and trying to find that balance, too, because I always have this sense of I want to have...
	Again, I used the analogy earlier, but I have a slide that I use in slideshows sometimes where I'll show a picture of an indigenous person and an astronaut, and then I'll show a hiker.
	And I'll be like, which looks more like the indigenous person?
	Which does it look more like, the astronaut or the indigenous person?
	Because we do tend to go into our environment a bit like we are from somewhere else.
	True.
	That's why we have so many shows.
	It's funny how we watch shows where people go into the wild.
	Oh, they're going to survive.
	It's this foreign, hostile world.
	We didn't have all of our...
	We didn't become a species here or something.
	It's incredible.
	There's such a balance because you need really excellent gear and then you can also over-encumber yourself with it.
	I love that game of finding what I really need, what I really use.
	I want stuff to be light, but I also don't want it to break.
	I love the game of...
	Absolutely.
	Every year improving my kit, you know?
	And, you know, there's also...
	I got a lot of flack recently because I was filming a Rubik's Cube video and my hands were all muddy because I was just working in the dirt.
	I was doing some irrigation pipelines to grow food.
	And to me, like, having mud on my hands is not a weird thing, but people freaked out.
	Oh, my...
	Your hands are covered with dirt.
	And, like...
	Well, some of the research on the microbiome and the impacts of...
	That's one of those things.
	You get your hand in the soil and you inevitably get that soil into you.
	And then you get that flora.
	And so if you're in healthy soil, it's so important because...
	We have a different gut microbiome if we spend all our time in the built environment, right?
	And there's been some cool research on...
	That's one of the things I love about wild foods is you get exposed to a lot of these microbes that are meant to be in your gut.
	And as I'm sure you've educated your audience on probably ad infinitum, it's like antibiotics really crush that native flora.
	If you weren't breastfed, you have less flora.
	If you spend a lot of time in chlorinated water, all these things are always chipping away at our health.
	You do want to get your hands in the duff or the soil because you need that stuff for your gut.
	And that turns into better digestion and better immunity.
	I think that was one of the big wake-up calls with COVID, too, is like, oh, a lot of our immunity is in our gut.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	All right.
	One other question I really want to ask you, and we're almost out of time.
	Are you doing okay?
	Can you do another five minutes?
	Okay.
	I appreciate your time here.
	Isn't it shocking that, like...
	Knowing what you know about wild foods and how abundant they are, especially in tropical type of environments, isn't it shocking to look back at, let's say, the American soldiers in World War II were facing starvation?
	When they were on Pacific Islands and they ran out of army rations, which were just heavily processed food, and they had no knowledge of what to eat locally, where the indigenous people, wherever they happened to be, the indigenous people were like, are you kidding me?
	There's food everywhere.
	But the soldiers would die from lack of knowledge about the food all around them.
	Isn't that just wild?
	My people die for lack of knowledge.
	Yeah, this is a classic case.
	I've also seen headlines before where it's like, local people reduced to having to forage food.
	Like it's a horrible thing?
	Reduced?
	I don't know.
	They're getting better nutrition.
	They're getting to know their environment.
	Because another big component is when you extract wild food out of an ecosystem, suddenly you care about it in a whole different way.
	If that's where I get my reishi mushroom and then I find out there's going to be a development there, it's like, oh man, I kind of want to say something because I have a meaningful connection to that place.
	But back to your point, Even though everywhere you go that you need local specific knowledge, you can figure, once you kind of dial it in in one area, it's not hard to figure out what's food in another area.
	So yeah, that stuff's a little shocking because the fishing on those islands, the coconuts on those islands.
	But it happened here in North America too when Native people kind of had to save colonists here who were dying in the wintertime because they didn't know where there was food.
	And so...
	We want to be careful not to eradicate all this knowledge too quickly.
	That's one of the unfortunate things that's happening.
	I've been thinking a lot about how, for instance, I always wanted when I write something now to be like, hashtag written by a human, because we're entering into that AI era where we're All the media is going to be potentially AI generated, but then all the books are kind of molding and they're not available the way they were.
	My library is precious to me because I don't think there's going to be all that many books around.
	What you could end up with is really quickly, because I had somebody send me an article recently.
	It was an article about foraging fern fiddleheads written in the voice of Daniel Vitalis by an AI. It was shockingly similar to my voice.
	It was a bit of a caricature of me, but there were details about the foraging that were wrong, just straight wrong and even dangerous.
	So you're like, man, is this?
	And there are a lot of foraging books on Amazon now that are written by AI. They're not real.
	They're fake authors.
	So we need this real knowledge to be preserved because 20 years ago when you and I were telling people that there could come a time where you need to know this stuff, it sounded silly to people.
	Yeah, not anymore.
	Yeah, not anymore.
	Maybe this stuff isn't crazy.
	Maybe I either need an agricultural plan or a wild food plan or a combination of both or connections to people who have food or some meaningful thing like that.
	I do get concerned that this knowledge could almost disappear in a generation, so we need to be really careful about that.
	We need to guard it.
	It's not a bad idea to get some good wild food books in your library.
	It's not a bad idea to spit on this knowledge.
	Even if you don't ever need to use it, it's a good investment.
	Daniel, I'm so glad you brought this up.
	Let me give you our answer to all of this.
	This interview that we're conducting right now will be transcribed, and it will be used as training material to go into our AI language model at brighttown.ai.
	And we just started releasing...
	Yeah, we have our language models.
	You can show my screen to my producers here for just a second.
	There it is.
	Brighttown.ai, free, open-source, non-commercial models that are trained on nutrition, herbs, permaculture, food production, food extraction, natural, off-grid medicine, emergency first aid, and coming up, survival and prepping skills.
	So, Daniel, we've taken...
	I thought about that.
	Man, we've taken the beast technology and now we're reprogramming it to work offline.
	It doesn't work online.
	You download it, you run it locally, and you can ask it anything about food.
	Turning the lion into the lamb.
	I'm telling you, man.
	And we're the only people in the world doing this.
	Nobody's doing it.
	That's really unique.
	It's completely non-commercial.
	I've got to tell you, there are efforts like this underway to preserve human knowledge.
	Our model is called NEO, and I call this NEO's arc.
	It's like endangered knowledge, just like you were talking about.
	We need to preserve all the indigenous knowledge, the indigenous tribes in the Amazon, indigenous Native Americans, indigenous Filipinos, indigenous Taiwanese.
	We've got to take all that knowledge from the Tibetans and everywhere around the world, and we need to preserve it because all big tech is just wiping it out.
	They're in extermination mode on human knowledge.
	Wow.
	Yeah, not just human knowledge, but on humans.
	On humans, yeah, exactly.
	So there are ways.
	I just want to say there are ways, Daniel.
	We can use some of their weapons to fight back with human knowledge.
	Yeah, you just gave me a little optimism boost right there.
	Well, you give me an optimism boost, and I'd love if you have any articles or anything that we can contribute to the training of the model, we'd love to do that, by the way.
	Okay, great.
	I'll dig some stuff up for you.
	Absolutely.
	I'd love to be able to say the latest update has Thrival articles in it.
	That would be freaking awesome.
	But anyway, in the interest of time here, we're about to wrap this up.
	I just want to say, you're doing amazing things, Daniel, and you're helping a lot of people.
	I love the fact that you've got this very successful show series.
	And I just think that events are going to happen where half the country is begging to know what you know.
	Yeah.
	Well, I appreciate you saying that.
	It's been an awesome journey, and the thing, as you know about it, is doing this You get to give back, but you also learn yourself.
	It's just a beautiful reciprocal journey.
	I want to thank you for your courage over the years.
	I've stayed abreast of what you're doing.
	Your boldness and your fearlessness, because I know you personally, has always really inspired me.
	You've dared to say and do things at times where everybody else was hiding.
	I've just been really impressed with that.
	Yeah, I'm not one to self-censor.
	We'll definitely put it that way.
	I appreciate that about you.
	I appreciate you too so much, Daniel.
	We should do this again more often.
	I'd love to.
	And talk about what's going on.
	And of course, if you're ever in Texas, you've got to swing by and show your whole operation here.
	Let me just give out your website again.
	DanielVitalis.com is the website.
	And then also SirThrival is your brand name.
	And the SirThrival product line is available now.
	HealthRangerStore.com slash Vitalis.
	And Daniel, again, you're doing amazing work.
	Keep educating people.
	And you're always welcome here at any time.
	Thank you.
	I'll look forward to getting out to Texas again.
	And just want to say folks can find Wildfed on Amazon Prime as well if they're looking for a place to watch it because it is on cable.
	So I just want people to be able to find the show.
	It's an incredible archive of wild food wisdom.
	I would love to.
	In fact, you know what?
	Let's do this.
	After we get off air...
	I would like to talk to you and whoever's buying your show to see if we could get transcripts or just videos of your show to train our AI model off your show.
	That's a great idea.
	That would be a great way to do it.
	Wouldn't it?
	And even to help publicize the show, too.
	It'd be like, hey, guess what?
	This show's knowledge has now been put into this Neo's arc.
	I love that idea.
	Super cool, man.
	Let's see if we can make that happen.
	In any case, you're doing great work, so just keep it up, and thank you for joining me today.
	It's been a pleasure.
	Thanks so much, Mike.
	All right.
	Thank you, Daniel.
	All right, there you go, Daniel Vitalis, folks.
	When it all goes to hell in this country, you want to know Daniel Vitalis.
	He is not going to be overrun by zombies.
	I absolutely guarantee that.
	Not only is he very proficient in wild foods, but of course he's also highly proficient in multiple modes of self-defense, and we'll leave it at that.
	Maybe we can talk about that later.
	A good guy to know.
	So check out his show on the Outdoor Channel or Amazon Prime.
	And then also check out his products at HealthRangerStore.com slash Vitalis.
	And thank you all for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, joining you here from the great state of Texas.
	God bless you all.
	God bless Texas.
	Take care.
	Alright, let's talk about some solutions for preparedness and survival based on what's happening in the world.
	Things are getting completely out of control, as you know.
	And some of these are sponsors, some of these are free.
	I'm going to give you some free tools here as well.
	First thing, show the camera on my desk here.
	This is all collapsed currency from all over the world.
	Trillions of dollars.
	Dollars worth of collapsed currency and then here's fake Hollywood currency of $100 bills.
	This is all going to zero.
	I mean, some of this is already zero.
	But even dollars are going to zero.
	This is the solution.
	These are called goldbacks.
	This is a 50 goldback bill.
	It's 51 thousandths of an ounce of gold is embedded in the bill.
	And that's why it's so thick.
	And they have smaller denominations like the one goldback here.
	I could hold it right side up.
	This is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold, and we've done the laboratory testing, and you can find it at our affiliate website called verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	If you want real, physical gold that's highly divisible and has high utility, this is the solution, verifiedgoldbacks.com, and if you scroll through here, you can see all of our lab testing that we did.
	We actually melted them down, and we did all kinds of tests for the purity, And the mass of the gold that's in these bills.
	And check out the different designs here.
	Let's see if we can show that.
	We've got different designs of different amounts of gold that are embedded in the bills.
	There's a 50 that I showed you, and then there's a 25, a 5, a 10, and 1s as well.
	Really an amazing solution.
	Now, other things to keep in mind.
	We've got storable food right now at HealthRangerStore.com.
	I've got some on my desk here showing you also the IOSAT iodine, the potassium iodide, excuse me, prevention of the radiation damage to your thyroid.
	That's all FDA approved there, the IOSAT product.
	We've also got dietary supplement iodine there as well as the We've got the heavy cream, all certified organic, laboratory tested, back in stock, plus the red miso, the yellow miso, and white cheddar cheese powder, which is just pure organic cheddar cheese.
	No fillers, no colors, no garbage in it of any kind.
	You can find all of that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Now, continuing with our topic of preparedness, our sponsor in the satellite phone space is the Satellite Phone Store.
	You can find them at sat123.com.
	Connects you here to the Satellite Phone Store.
	And these are emergency backup comms devices that work even if the cell towers go down or if the power grid goes down.
	And they have packages with the bivvy sticks, with Faraday bags, and pre-installed software on a mobile device that protects your privacy because it doesn't talk to the cell towers.
	It just talks through the satellites.
	You can send and receive text messages, and you can let people know you're okay, or you can have emergency contacts that are successful through that mechanism.
	Here's something that I don't talk about enough, but there's a company called shieldarms.com that has a new product, which is the S10 Grip Chop.
	As you can see here, this is a chopped off grip.
	Of a Glock 43X. Now, show camera one.
	This is my Glock 43X right here.
	Let's see if I can get on camera.
	And so as you can see, the magwell, you know, this is a pretty long designation right here.
	You know, it can stick out if you're trying to do concealed carry.
	But if you go to shieldarms.com, they have their Grip Chop S10 firearm, which is available right now.
	And it's a shorter...
	A grip that allows it to be more easily concealed, but yet it takes full-size magazines.
	And then Shield Arms has their custom steel mags.
	Actually, that's what I've got right here.
	Here it is.
	This is the Shield Arms magazine.
	It's vastly superior to Glock mags.
	It holds more rounds.
	And it's more durable.
	So this is the best setup.
	You can get these mags and you can get these grip chop pistols at shieldarms.com.
	Of course, all federal laws apply.
	You have to transfer through an FFL and so on.
	Obey your local and national laws in order to do this.
	But this allows you to be ultra-concealable in carrying this outstanding firearm, the Glock 43X. And I think you can use discount code Ranger there to save 10% off that firearm.
	They may still have that code active.
	I'm not entirely sure.
	Now, continuing with some more preparedness items, right here, brighteon.ai.
	This is our free downloadable artificial intelligence language model.
	We are training this on an extensive amount of information on food, herbs, nutrition, off-grid living, but also survival and preparedness.
	It's non-commercial, it's open source, it's free to use.
	You just enter your email address here, click register, and you'll be given access to a download page, and we're releasing new models all the time, including a 7 billion parameter model that is trained on all of this survival and prepping and nutrition content.
	Nobody else in the world has models like this.
	In addition, we have a backup comms social media platform that we've just launched called Brightown.io.
	And if you go to that website, Brightown.io, you can sign up.
	You can see that it's a big social media type of site.
	The thing is, see, it's got free speech videos.
	Here's a flat earth video.
	That's pretty funny.
	There's all kinds of videos here, all kinds of different viewpoints and opinions.
	Here's Dave Hodges here with a video.
	You can go there and you can share videos and content, and there are no central servers.
	It's all peer-to-peer, decentralized, and it runs on blockchain.
	It has its own blockchain coin here actually called Pcoin, which is modeled after Bitcoin, and it's kind of a reputation coin on the platform.
	Anyway, you can find out about that.
	Just go to brighttown.io.
	If you download the app and run it, then this will even survive the internet kill switch because it doesn't need to resolve domain names in order to function.
	So that's brighttown.io.
	And then, in terms of products that we have, guess what?
	We also have the knives that we've custom designed with Dawson knives here.
	This is one of our combat knives, and they're made with magna-cut steel, incredibly durable, high Rockwell hardness, they're flexible without shattering, they hold an edge, and they're almost corrosion-proof.
	That's the advantage of MagnaCut steel.
	So yeah, if you see this, this is a G10 handle with an oversized finger guard here.
	This is a really incredible knife.
	And because it's got three holes here...
	Show camera one.
	Let me show you this.
	Because it's got these three holes...
	See if I can get the light just right.
	Yeah.
	It's got this hole, this hole, and then this hole.
	You can use paracord and you can strap it to a stick and make a spear out of it.
	So this can be made into a spear relatively easily.
	We've got multiple knives from Dawson.
	That, of course, I'm the co-designer, and it's got a special wedge end here as well for escape and evasion.
	We are out of the Escape from L.A. knife, but we do have this Tonto version that we're working on right now that we may come out with, and then we've got some other really amazing...
	This is...
	Oh, that's another one of our combat knives, but we've got a bushcrafting knife as well that you can check out.
	Find all that at healthrangerstore.com.
	Bottom line, folks, we have a lot of preparedness solutions for you.
	Some of them are free, like brighttown.ai or brighttown.io, or you can use Brighttown Social or just brighttown.com.
	And then some of them, of course, cost money.
	Like if you're going to get your hands on gold, you know, it's going to cost you.
	You're going to pay for the gold.
	You're going to...
	Not everything is going to be free, obviously.
	So iodine, storable food, weapons of self-defense to defend and protect innocent life, these are the kinds of things that we are advocating very strongly right now at this time in history because of what's happening in the world, what's happening with the open borders, where we are domestically, with chaos and lawlessness getting worse in most cities across America, more illegals invading more states and counties.
	So be ready to defend yourself.
	And then, of course, the collapse of the dollar coming as well.
	It's accelerating every day.
	You're seeing it with food inflation.
	Now look at the cost of your car insurance, by the way.
	Look at that.
	It's skyrocketing.
	Health insurance.
	It's all skyrocketing.
	Things are getting more expensive because your dollar is worth less and less.
	Meanwhile, gold is absolutely skyrocketing.
	In fact, let me just bring up where gold is right now.
	2384.
	Show my screen.
	I want to show the trend here.
	If you look at gold prices here, just over, what does that go back to?
	Like the end of October last year, gold was $1,837.
	Now, now it's almost $2,400.
	Look at that rise right there.
	Gold is skyrocketing in dollars because dollars are losing value.
	So people who are smart, who want to maintain their value of gold and silver...
	Well, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do, to hold value.
	Oh, I should mention, by the way, if you go to metalswithmike.com, this is our gold and silver coin sponsor, Treasure Island Company.
	And you go there and you can request to talk with them or you can check their real-time prices right here.
	They'll give you the price quotes here.
	You can look at gold coins like U.S. Mint coins.
	Real-time pricing online.
	And they have discreet, secure, guaranteed delivery, insured.
	So check them out at metalswithmike.com.
	They are our gold and silver sponsor for the coins.
	So those are some of our sponsors, some of the solutions that we offer, some of the free things that are available to you.
	Whatever you do, make sure that you're getting prepared for what's coming.
	Grow more food.
	Save your garden seeds.
	Get more items at the grocery store that you can even stockpile that will last a longer period of time.
	Try to get out of the dollar into things that will hold value, whether it's gold and silver or something else.
	Maybe you're going to buy a piece of land.
	Maybe you're going to stock up on ammo or diesel fuel or something that holds value.
	But take action now because the world is becoming more chaotic.
	Time is running out.
	Thank you for supporting our sponsors and supporting this platform.
	We appreciate you.
	That keeps us going.
	It allows us to build the free tools that we're giving back to you, such as the AI tools as well as the Brighttown.io platform.
	But together, we can make it through all this, and then we'll be the ones who get to help rebuild society on the other side of the collapse of this current system.
	And it is collapsing.
	But get prepared now while you can, and thank you for all your support.
	I'm Mike Adams here of HealthRangerStore.com, as well as Brighteon.com.
	Take care.
	A global reset is coming.
	And that's why I've recorded a new nine-hour audiobook.
	It's called The Global Reset Survival Guide.
	You can download it for free by subscribing to the naturalnews.com email newsletter, which is also free.
	I'll describe how the monetary system fails.
	I also cover emergency medicine and first aid and what to buy to help you avoid infections.
	So download this guide.
	It's free.
