Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
And I'm very thrilled to be able to announce the first feature film that's been produced by Brighteon Films with Bob Denny as the writer and director.
And we have the star of that film with us.
Joining us today, Amy Schaefer, who has the website called InTheFieldWithAmy.com.
And the movie is called 17 Miles, and it's at this website, 17MilesMovie.com.
We'll play the trailer sometime later during this interview.
But welcome, Amy.
Great to have you on the show today.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Mike, for having me.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Well, it's a pleasure to have you on, and I got to meet you and your daughter, right?
Yes.
So you and your daughter star in the film, is that correct?
Yes, I think that my daughter even had more lines than me.
Did she?
Well, she's just a delight and it was wonderful to get to meet you.
I did a little cameo appearance.
You filmed for several weeks in Texas, right?
We did.
We were in Texas for about two and a half weeks and then we returned to Tennessee and did some filming there as well.
But it was an incredible experience.
Bob Denny, for anybody that knows him, is a very patient and balanced man, just a good man, and he was just a joy to work with.
We had so much fun.
Oh, that's great to hear.
Yeah, I love working with Bob Denny.
And tell us about the film.
It's called 17 Miles.
What's a synopsis of the film?
So the film is a dramatic reenactment of what people go through as they're going over the border.
Because we are fed a narrative that says that We need to have the border open.
It's humanitarian.
And really, the reality of the situation is that the people that are coming over the border are being taken advantage of right, left, and center by the cartel and NGOs.
And it's really not humanitarian at all.
And so I know that Bob wanted to shine a light on the realities of the things that are actually going on down there.
So myself and my daughter in the movie...
Are taken advantage of by the cartel.
The other family is as well.
And so it's just shedding a light on what the American public really largely is not allowed to see.
Now in the film, then, your daughter is, well, threatened or taken by traffickers.
And I believe part of your character's role in the film is to save your daughter and get back to America.
Is that right?
That is correct.
And we had some amazing co-stars, Michael Yawn and Ann VanderSteele, helped to retrieve my daughter, as well as Sheriff Mack.
So it was really a stellar cast of people that actually are true patriots and do care about what is going on with our country and the people that are suffering at the border.
Yeah, absolutely.
And I also want people to understand that this is a film of passion, of love for humanity.
It's not a high-budget film.
In fact, Bob was telling me the total budget for the film was $58,000, which is just unbelievably small.
Mostly that was just hotel rooms and travel expenses and what have you.
And I know that you and the other stars probably weren't, you know, heavily compensated.
You're doing this because you believe in the message and the mission.
So why did you take on this role?
Oh, that is a loaded, loaded question.
Well, let's see.
Well, for the reasons that I stated before, to shine a light on what actually is going on down there.
And then I think...
Really what I try to impress upon my children is that the culture that we live in is anti-human.
And so I don't know how far you go down the rabbit hole with things like Nephilim and, you know...
We go all the way down the rabbit hole, Amy.
We have not yet found the bottom of that rabbit hole, so go for it.
So when I wake up in the morning, I am not confused about...
Why are these people coming against us?
And why are they trying to kill us?
And I know that the reason why is because they hate us and they hate the image of God.
And so I choose to do whatever it is that I believe that God is putting before me on that day to fight for his creation and the world that he would want us to have.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done.
And so I felt like this opportunity was, I needed to take it so that I could, I felt like the Lord was calling me to do it.
So, yeah.
Well, that's the best reason to do it right there.
To my producers, show my screen.
These are some of the photos from the making of the film.
There's Bob Denny right there.
And we have some of the key photographers and actors and actresses.
And just an amazing experience.
The film will be out shortly at 17milesmovie.com.
You'll be able to purchase the film through brighteon.com and help support And Bob Denny told me that he hopes that we can raise enough money from selling access to this movie to be able to fund the next movie.
Maybe a $100,000 budget for the next movie and keep it going.
Keep making more and more faith-based, pro-humanity films.
In fact, I want to ask you, Amy, about Hollywood.
Hollywood is a cesspool of filth and demonic anti-human messaging, especially targeting children.
What's your take on what Hollywood has become versus what you and the filmmakers did with this film?
Well, first of all, I think that people are starving for content that is not, shall we say, woke or anti-human.
I think that they want their children to have access to things that are true and We've seen that with the fall of Disney's stocks and people unsubscribing from Netflix.
I know that we recently subscribed to Angel Studios and we're very excited to subscribe to whatever bright films come out.
People are starving for that right now because it's gone so dark so fast.
Now, a lot of these things are coming out like with P. Diddy's arrest and so there's whereas before it was just kind of whispers down the lane that inappropriate things were happening now it's becoming much more concrete to people who are in mainstream and and they're not able to deny anymore that these things are really a problem and the average American I think really just wants
to come home and Enjoy their family and live a good life and it is becoming increasingly unattainable in America and in the world.
I was watching a video this morning on Twitter where a lady in Spain was attacked by a migrant and choked and he stole the money and we have We have societies that are high-trust societies,
and the people that are coming through often are coming from places that they really had to kill and steal to survive, and were just easy targets.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I'm really glad you brought that up.
And wasn't it interesting that when you and I filmed my little cameo appearance at a Texas gas station, actually not far from the studio it turns out, but it was supposed to be Mexico and it looked Mexican because there was like this taco stand in the parking lot of the gas station.
And remember that couple, that South American couple, Well, I don't know if they were a couple, but it was a man and a woman that came up and were talking to us, and the man didn't even speak English, so we were conversing in Espanol a little bit there, and they were really interested in what movie we were making.
Remember that?
I do.
I do remember that.
And then when it was explained that this was a pro-Christian, pro-humanity movie, the woman said she's going to watch it and she wrote down the names like she wants to watch it too.
So my point is that even many Central and South American people, Hispanic people, agree with our message.
Oh, absolutely.
100%.
I think...
Who was citing the numbers this morning?
It might have been Louderwith Crowder who was saying, can you tell that I watch a lot of media?
Anyway, I think he was saying that 30% poll for Trump was up on African American men, and I think it was even higher on Hispanic men.
It might have been 45%, and I don't know where they're getting these numbers from, but it's evident that people have just had enough.
And I don't know what tipped the scale.
I don't know if it was the economy or them seeing the agendas that their children were coming home, saying, oh, I'm a girl, or where did you learn that?
Oh, I learned it in sex ed in first grade.
Who knows what exactly tipped the scale for these people, but I know that any Hispanic or most Hispanics Absolutely.
Yeah, and I lived in South America for a couple of years, and that's what I found.
They were very much pro-family.
They teach children real skills and real values.
And although there is human trafficking, there's an element of it in every culture, including in the Middle East, including in Asia, wherever.
But by and large, most people just want to raise their children in a healthy environment.
Let's watch a trailer preview of the film, And then we'll continue our conversations.
So, here we go.
Illegal immigration tends to be financially upward from poorer to richer countries.
With an increased influx of illegal aliens at the border, the Texas governor has called a special session of the Texas legislature.
The Mexican government said Monday it sent more troops to the cartel-dominated western state of Michoacan after a weekend of violence.
A series of armed raids using planes and helicopters.
This Darien route alone can and will at this rate bring at least 4 million aliens into the United States in 2024.
Ultimately, Darien route is the cheapest way I see to move 100 million or more people into the United States.
According to Jan, currently the bus infrastructure...
*music* It's a camera!
I thought you might want to document our adventures and make it into a movie someday.
These bad people.
Are we in trouble?
Yeah.
I would go live in America myself.
I'd love you more than you guys.
You gotta see the vision to be the vision!
So, where are you at?
You can just shot me off at the edge of town.
I'm in a rush.
Sheriff, I want to thank you for your service.
Where do you see this all going?
Well, I pray to God that we find it.
You don't win the next race.
I'll be back.
You know what happens to people.
And Rosa and I, we're going to get jobs and we'll have professional careers.
I'm trusting you and your cousin to be good people, but I'm seeing on the news that people are getting taken advantage of.
You just got back from Darien Gap.
What's been going on there?
That's the main invasion.
I said, well, it pays for the whole family.
One piece for the whole family?
That's ridiculous.
It'll be alright, Rosa.
I need your help.
I have no idea where I'm going.
Julia's been kidnapped.
Mom's gonna be right back.
Everything's gonna be okay.
Me and my mom were on a great journey.
I can't wait to see America.
I really love my mom.
I'm so excited to be on this trip with her.
I think she's a little scared.
My mom doesn't really like change too much.
This trip was amazing.
So, everybody stay tuned.
All right, Amy, very, very powerful message there.
Did you feel the presence of God in your work at any moment on this film?
Oh, absolutely.
There's a scene where I pray and I'm searching for my daughter who has been kidnapped.
I was...
Bob chose not to show me being beaten in the film, but it is obvious that I was dumped in a forest, and there's a point where I'm praying in the film, and I was actually praying.
I really got with the Lord before I had to do the scene, and I said, thank you, God.
For allowing me to be your hands and your feet and your servant in this capacity.
And so I definitely felt him.
And then there's another scene where I am swimming in very cold water in Texas in what month was it?
The winter.
And I was like, all right, God, you're going to have to get me through this.
And so he was definitely with us.
And my daughter as well, you know, she felt like this was...
There was times in the movie where she was like, wow, this is really a lot of work, because if you know anything about filming, you are kind of saying the same line over and over again, or doing the same scene essentially over and over again, with many different cameras in many different positions.
You know, you do it with a drone, you do it with a...
Yeah, you experienced it with me.
You do it with a camera far away, close, moving.
And so she was like, wow, this is really hard work.
And I was like, yeah, we're doing this for...
So that we can share a message for God and for America.
And so she understood that as well.
And so it was a very special bonding time for my family to experience the acting and then also just now seeing it after it's been done.
Just incredible.
Now, let me give out your website, inthefieldwithamy.com.
And there you also, by the way, you have a link to your show with brighttown.tv.
But I regret that I don't know much about your background in terms of, did you have a background in theater or TV or movies before?
Or what's, like, sort of, where's that connection come in?
Well, I work for a tiny media booking firm called BookAtCJ, BookAtCJ.com.
So I typically am the person that works to get my clients onto shows such as yours.
And you have interviewed several of my clients in the past.
Oh, I have!
We do appreciate that, yeah, Dr.
Mark Sherwood and Tracy Slepchevek, amongst others.
And, yeah, so we appreciate your support.
But I did high school theater, just to answer your question.
I was in several theater productions in high school.
I was a thespian.
But really, I think, and this is alluding to what I was talking about before, my passion...
Just by looking at my website, you can kind of tell I'm a farmer's advocate.
And so my passion is food and how to connect people with their local farmers and how to have non-GMO foods, organic foods.
So currently, and I've been doing this for probably 11 years now, I am part of a farm where we grow all of our own food.
And at several families, we come together on acreage and, you know, provide for ourselves in that way.
And so I encourage people in any way that I can to get involved with food sustainability.
And then the other thing that I got involved with when there was the diesel shortage was connecting churches and farmers so that the church could have immediate access to food and the patron's And then the farmer could have immediate access to customers because they really are trying to shut down The local farmers.
There's a very disturbing trend right now with trying to shut down farmers that are providing raw milk products.
I'm sure you've heard of that.
Yes, we've covered that quite a lot.
But it's part of this war on food and farms.
And, you know, I think for a long time, the evil globalists, they were hiding behind denial.
Like, no, we're not trying to depopulate the planet.
No, there's no such thing as weather control.
No, we're not putting toxic pesticides and venom peptides in the food.
Now, that's all gone.
They're like, yeah, we're trying to depopulate the planet.
Yeah, we're modifying the weather.
Yeah, we're doing all this.
It's like they've dropped the mask at this point.
They're doing everything possible to destroy food and farms all across Europe, shutting down farms.
They just say food is bad.
I mean, you hear them say growing food is bad for the planet.
Literally, they say that.
Can you believe it?
Yeah, it's incredible.
It's kind of like what we know to be true, what we've always known to be true, all of a sudden is no longer true.
So, even such as, like, the mask, right?
Talking about why they are trying to kill us.
Well, they're trying to kill us because we are in God's image, and they hate God's image.
We remind them every day of their judgment, and so their coming judgment.
And so, why did they want us to cover our mouths with a mask?
Well, when they were forcing us to do that, I said, God, why are they doing this?
And he was like, they're They're trying to cover my image.
And so I think that really that's what everything boils down to.
We knew that the masks didn't work before.
Any doctor would have told you this is not going to protect you from anything.
And so it's the same concept with the food.
We know certain things to be true.
And then all of a sudden they're like, oh, no, that's not true anymore.
It's...
It's incredible how people fall for it.
And it's like, well, if you knew it was true before, and then I have to remember that maybe they didn't know it was true before because they've been so distracted by sports or, you know, whatever the latest movie was or on, you know, HBO, the show that everybody has to watch, you know, Game of Thrones or whatever.
Yeah, celebrity news, things like that.
Yeah, it's like, you know, just garbage to distract people from their God-given mission.
And so I've seen a lot more people answering the call as of late, so that's extremely encouraging.
Yeah, I'm right there with you on that, and I can't wait to see the success of this film.
I've already heard a lot of buzz about it.
Like you said, Michael Yon is in it, Anne Van Der Steele is in the film.
Sheriff Richard Mack is also in the film.
I have a little cameo appearance as well, and it's coming out in just a few days here.
Do you know what the official release date is?
It's in May.
I do not know what the...
I know that they...
See, the pictures above there are of the premiere, the red carpet premiere, which was on the 27th.
So a lot of people went into the theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and were able to watch it on the big screen.
And according to Karina and Bob, it was a huge success.
Oh, yeah.
And I know that shortly after, maybe in a week, maybe less than a week, it will be available behind a tiny paywall, like you said, so that we can raise money for the next film.
And I was so blessed, like you said before, that it is a humanitarian movie.
Because a lot of times people want to characterize conservative Christians as anti-humanitarian, and really that is a lie.
You know, kind of whatever the other side, the globalists, like you said, are saying, you can pretty much bet that it's the exact opposite.
Oh yeah, and here's the release date, May 9th.
There it is.
Oh, perfect.
So May 9th, folks, you'll be able to purchase the film.
It doesn't cost much, but your financial support is very much needed.
And most of that money goes to Bob Denny and the crew for the next film.
A little bit comes to the platform, the Bright Town platform.
And bottom line is, if you want more movies to be made that are pro-human, pro-Christian, That tell the truth about things, then help support this film.
And then we'll keep this going.
In fact, Bob Denny has expressed to me that he would love to continue making more heartfelt movies like this.
And that's our plan, actually, is to produce more movies like this.
Would you be up for being in the next one, too?
Or do you need a break from it?
Because it's intense, right?
It is very intense, but it's worth it.
And I feel like it was an education.
I mean, no one's asked me to be in any future films.
However, I did feel like the experience was worth it.
My children are used to doing work at home, but when they were actually like, oh, this is work.
These actors are working.
Giving them that experience of working and other people depending on them.
And Bob was, I mean, he's an incredible director.
I mean, he just really knew, he's very sensitive to people, and he knew when exactly, you know, my daughter needed a break, or, you know, we're done for the day, you know, we've worked hard enough.
And so he was incredible with her and my son.
But yes, of course, we would do it again, because we believe in this platform, Brideon, It's an incredible platform.
As far as I'm concerned, the best platform as far as being ahead of the curve with technology and free speech.
You guys are the best.
Well, thank you for that.
And we're also about to roll out Brighteon 2.0.
We've been working on it for over a year with all kinds of new, powerful features as well.
And we are committed to real freedom of speech.
We're committed to pro-human values.
And that really sets us apart in the world.
But I'm glad you mentioned that about Bob Denny.
He's such a great person to work with.
And he's really the spirit behind Brighteon TV. Him and Bob Sisson...
We're just so key in making Bright Town TV successful.
And Bob is in the film as well, which is really great.
And his wife is in the film as well.
So there's so many great people in the film, but he plays a bad guy in the film, is my understanding, right?
He does.
He does.
He played one of the cartel members.
And it was actually kind of funny because, you know, he's from Tennessee, and so he has a bit of a drawl.
And I lived in the South for many years in Kentucky, and he pulled my Southern drawl right out of me.
When I was doing this scene with him, I would start, oh, you can drop me off right over here.
And Bob Denny was laughing.
He said, oh, Bob Sisson pulled that Southern accent right out of me.
Amazing how quickly that happens.
Also, I got to say, I remember Bob, you know, I did the little cameo scene with you at the gas station airing up the tire of your car.
And I asked Bob, I show up on the scene and I asked Bob, okay, what are my lines?
What should I say?
He said, just say what you would normally say in this situation, you know, because it's just a cameo.
It's probably like 15 seconds of screen time.
So I did.
I just said what I'd normally say.
And then he's like, okay, now we're going to do it again.
You've got to remember what you just said.
I was like, oh, now you tell me I've got to remember.
I don't remember what I just said.
Let's do it again.
But he was so easy to work with.
See, what Bob Denny does is he shows that to make really great films, you don't need all kinds of special effects and explosions and blood and gore all over the screen.
But that's what Hollywood has become today.
It's like, there's no story.
You don't care about any of the characters in a normal Hollywood film now.
In fact, mostly, a lot of films I've seen, I'm like, these are horrible people.
And they're supposed to be the stars of the film.
And they're just filthy.
They have no ethics.
They're just horrible people.
But then you're supposed to root for them as they're running around killing everybody with revenge or whatever.
It's usually a very small, dainty woman who's running around killing all the men.
And it's like, this is completely insane.
But that's Hollywood today for you.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is disturbing.
But if I may, can we talk a little bit about...
The AI that you're rolling out.
Yes.
The reason why I want to bring that up is because I was contacted today by John Peterson, the head of the Arlington Institute, and he said, oh, I heard Mike Adams say that we could contribute to the AI. How do I do that?
And I said, well, I'll ask him today.
So if you could just let people know.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
So we are currently accepting any kind of content for training multiple AI models, which we're releasing for free, open source, non-commercial.
We've already released three of them, and let me bring it up.
They're at brighteon.ai right now.
I didn't know we were going to talk about this today, but thanks for bringing it up.
So they're all free to download.
Yeah, you can show my screen.
And the models are being trained on the information that we're receiving.
So It's natural news content.
All the interviews that I've ever done are going into the training.
Dr.
Mercola has sent us 33,000 articles from Mercola.com.
We've got the entire article set from GreenMedInfo, courtesy of SayerG.
We have alt-media content.
So all they have to do is get us content in any form.
It can be audio, video, text, PDF. Books, anything.
And then we will process that data.
It takes quite a while, many weeks.
And then we can use that to help train the AI. And then we can give them back a specific model that's trained solely on their material.
And they can use that as an internal research engine.
Or they can distribute that to anybody they want to as well.
So that's how it works.
Oh, that is incredible.
He has a very nice organization.
We just had Dr.
David Martin come and talk.
So how should I give him a specific email or how does that work?
Yeah, well, before we go today, let me give you my direct contact on Signal.
And then, normally, the best way would be if they post all their content on some kind of online transfer service, like Dropbox or WeTransfer or something like that, and then just give me a download link, and it can be gigabytes, you know?
And then we'll download everything, and then it'll go into the pipeline.
And I was checking this morning.
I mean, we've got banks of workstations working on this.
And we've churned through about 12,000 Mercola articles in the last couple of weeks.
And it's incredible.
And a lot of his articles were in Espanol, too, by the way.
So our model will have a lot of knowledge in Spanish about natural health and nutrition as well.
Very interesting.
So if people go to brighteon.io...
AI. AI, okay.
Is the AI... Because I pulled up, I think it was brighteon.io, and it had almost like a Facebook feel?
Yeah, that's something different.
That's a decentralized free speech platform that's uncensorable because it does not have central servers.
So brighteon.io is built on the Bastion framework, which is all peer-to-peer, decentralized.
It'll work even in a nuclear war, as long as you still have access to the Internet.
That is incredible, and that's why I say that you guys are the best.
We are ahead of the curve on so many issues, that's for sure.
I think we're the only people in the world that I know of that are building an AI model, and you would be amazed, Amy.
We have over, well, it's 1,200 books that we're training it on.
These are textbooks on herbs, nutrition, phytochemistry, phytocognosy, which is also about all the phytonutrients that are used by Big Pharma.
We're training it on off-grid living, medicinal extraction, natural medicine, Chinese medicine, everything that you can think of that has to do with food and medicine.
And you can ask the model, like, what's the best way to grow tomatoes?
Or what nutrients do I need when I'm planting zucchini?
Or, hey, I have plants that have yellow spots on the leaves.
What might that be?
So this replaces Google.
You don't need a search engine.
So awesome.
Because you can ask this model everything that you need to know.
Right.
Well, and I think I heard one time that YouTube was the number one, you know, if anybody needs to ask anything, they would go to YouTube.
And I can't imagine that when the powers that be kicked you off of YouTube, that they would have awakened someone who was so on point with Listening to the call of God that you would have come up with something with your network that would have exceeded our need for YouTube and things like Google.
So I really do take my hat off to you and your team because, you know, you clearly followed God's call.
And it also goes to show sometimes when bad things happen, God just He just uses it for good.
I'm sure when you were scrubbed off YouTube, you didn't think that it was a great day, and here you have come.
Yeah, well, you're exactly right about that, and I appreciate you bringing this up, but I'll share something with you that I haven't ever said publicly, which is that, yes, when YouTube blacklisted us, that's the day we decided to build Brighteon.
It was that day.
And I forgot what year that was.
I think it was like 20...
2016 or 2015.
It's been a while.
But more recently in the AI project, I got to tell you, you know, we've released our AI models open source, non-commercial, freely downloadable, and they run offline.
So they don't run in the cloud.
There's no financial incentive for us.
We've spent under a million dollars on this project, but it will soon exceed a million.
And God...
I mean, I listened to God on this because so many people were asking me, even people outside our company, even a billionaire that I know was saying, Mike, you could commercialize this technology and you could be a billionaire.
And I'm like, by what?
By limiting the number of people who can use it and charging for it?
I want everybody to have this knowledge.
I'm talking about what I call Neo's Ark, like Noah's Ark.
But for Neo in the Matrix to see through the lies, this is Neo's Ark.
We are preserving human knowledge and distributing it to everybody for free.
You can't put a price on that.
It's beyond any value of any amount of money.
And what's the point of having money in a world if you're not free?
And if people don't know what real medicine is and real food, what's the point of being a billionaire in a collapsed planet?
You know?
I do know.
It is incredible when we just lose just one little piece of knowledge from the past.
What can happen to a generation?
I was just talking to a friend of mine about the book Breath, where a fellow did extensive scientific study on that we're supposed to breathe through our noses, and now it's become popular to tape your mouth at night.
Really?
Wow, I didn't know that.
Yeah, and he did a study where he only breathed through his mouth.
And he got sick and then he only breathed through his nose and there was doctors and scientists that, you know, charted the progress and why that was important.
And they talked about how our ancestors would chew on sticks for dental health and that our mouths were significantly bigger because they would chew on the sticks instead of brushing their teeth with toothbrushes.
And so even when we lose one thing like that, It really takes a toll on our health, and there are so many things like that.
So thank you for preserving human knowledge, because that is the direction that we're moving into, is anti-human society at a very rapid rate.
And so I know I wake up every day with the call to just preserve God's creation as much as possible.
And I know that you do as well.
So thank you for that.
Well, thank you for bringing up that very point.
And in fact, I would extend that invitation to all of your clients.
If they have content, That we can help preserve that content, help magnify the impact of that content.
Because we've only just begun.
It won't be long before millions of people all over the planet are using our language models, you know, our downloadable AI models.
We've only just begun.
I mean, what we've released publicly so far just barely scratches the surface.
It's just really early pilot demonstrations, frankly.
What's coming over the next few months will be mind-blowing.
Thank you.
it's really fascinating one model that's just come out runs on mobile phones so when we train on that model we'll be able to give you a downloadable knowledge base that runs on your iPhone or your Android phone And that'll be the first time in history that that's ever happened.
And of course, we have to mind wipe all these models because they're programmed by the demonic corporations like Microsoft and Google and Meta and whatever.
So we have to mind wipe them and that's the hard part.
And then we replace them.
With pro-human messages.
And by the way, Amy, let me ask you this.
We are looking for a homeschooling organization that would let us have access to the entire curriculum so we could train on that.
Do you have any connections with homeschooling?
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
Let's exchange information about Signal, and I will start sending you stuff from all over the place, especially homeschooling.
We need a lot of Christian-based content, homeschooling content.
I know there are some faith-based organizations that have alternative student curricula.
We want that kind of thing.
And currently we don't have that.
We have a lot of textbooks and we have a lot of articles and podcasts and so on, but not homeschooling content.
So that would be amazing.
What a great connection.
See, I had no idea this conversation was going to go there today.
Praise God.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, here we are.
But let's get back to the movie in the few minutes we have left, because that's why we invited you on.
So 17milesmovie.com is the website, folks.
And you'll want to check out this movie.
I want you to understand, this is a real message made by real people.
You're not going to find all kinds of gunfire and special effects and multi-million dollar paid actors and so on.
It's a real heartfelt movie with a powerful message.
And after completing this and seeing the final film, does it make you happy, Amy?
Does it feel like this is something that I'm proud to have been part of?
Oh, I'm incredibly proud and happy to be a part of it.
I met Bob Denny.
Oh, where did I meet him?
It must have been San Antonio at a Reawaken America tour, and Bob Sisson.
Met them and their wives at the same event.
And I was running the media room at that time, and we became fast friends.
And Karina would say to me at every event, Amy, come down, see us, come visit, come, you know, They live near a lake.
Come enjoy our boat on the lake.
So I brought my children down a couple of times, and they really got to know us as a family.
And I know that Bob was saying to Karina, who?
Who can I get to fill this role?
And Karina really has gut instinct about things like this.
She's helped him a lot in the past with casting.
And she said, what about Amy and her children?
And I do believe that a lot of life is, you know, saying yes to the opportunities and then allowing God to make it work out in real time.
So incredibly blessed and happy that we had this opportunity to do this.
And really about the message, too.
I mean, most people have no idea that tuberculosis is coming over our borders.
And that's one of the things that the movie draws attention to.
And so, you know, it's like we want to be afraid about, you know, COVID per se, but really actually disturbing the things that are just flooding over the border because there's not any checks or balances down there.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a wide-open border, but of course, the United States Congress votes for funding for all other countries in the world, it seems, and they even wave the flags of other countries on the House floor, but nothing for America.
But anyway, this has been a fascinating conversation, Amy.
Stay tuned.
Don't hang up after this so I can give you my contact information.
The film is called 17 Miles.
The website is 17milesmovie.com.
The official release date is May 9th there.
And there is a small cost to purchase the film.
It helps support our platform, Brighteon, but also it helps support the film's efforts.
And there's another film in the works if we can raise enough funds from this movie.
So there's more coming.
And this is pro-human, Christian-based content.
And, Amy, I'm just so thrilled to know you.
I probably ran into you at that San Antonio Reawaken America event because I was there at that time.
Oh, right!
Yes!
And I didn't know who you were, but now we have this connection through this film and through the AI and through your clients.
So it's really, this is how God works.
Just allowing it to happen.
Yes.
It's...
So much of my life has worked just like this.
It's like, have faith, put one foot forward in front of the other, and guess what?
All these things are going to materialize right in front of you just as you need them.
Like, that's happened so many times.
I can't even begin to tell you.
But, Amy, it's been a pleasure speaking with you today.
Thanks for joining us.
Oh, Mike, the pleasure was all mine.
Thank you so much.
And thanks for being one of my co-stars.
Oh, yeah.
Happy to do that.
We had a great scene together, and I can't wait for people to see that.
So thank you so much, Amy.
Oh, let me give out your other website as well, inthefieldwithamy.com.
So check out that website in addition to the film at 17milesmovie.com.
So thank you, Amy.
Have a great day.
And thank all of you for watching.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com.
And as you can see, Brighteon is expanding and doing a lot of amazing things now.
First feature film coming out, AI models coming out, and this is just the beginning.
There's much more yet to come.
So thank you for your support.
God bless you all, and God bless America.
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 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.
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 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.
This is a...
Here it is.
This is the Shield Arms magazine.
It's vastly superior to clock 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 Brighteon.io.
And if you go to that website, brighttown.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.
And 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.
23.84.
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.
