Welcome, everyone, to today's interview here on BrightTown.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of BrightTown, and today we're joined by a very special guest, Clay Clark from TimeToFreeAmerica.com.
He's been organizing so many events and training sessions and speaker sessions and live events all over the country for the past few years now, and Clay has seen everybody, knows everybody, and has seen everything happening, and he's freaked out.
So welcome to the show, Clay.
It's great to have you on today.
Mike, not that you need a public praise from me, but I'll tell you this.
My wife loves your program, loves your broadcast, and I appreciate you always discussing the facts, no matter where the facts have taken you.
We're being a high-value, low-drama guy, so I really do appreciate everything you're doing for our country.
Well, you as well, Clay.
I appreciate what you're doing.
And let me just start out.
I know we've got a lot to talk about today, but I'm pissed at Trump.
I am not happy with Trump right now because he's supporting the FBI expansion funding.
You know, he's all in with the Zionist bombing of civilians in Gaza.
He still hasn't apologized for Operation Warp Speed.
Now he says he's going to use the military to round up illegals all across the country.
Now I agree, we need to get them out, but really?
Are we going to turn our streets into like a military police state of rounding people up on every street corner and show me your papers?
What do you say to this?
Okay, well, I'm going to go through the five questions I've been asked a lot about President Trump here, Donald J. Trump, over the last couple weeks.
There's five.
There's five I keep being asked.
Okay, okay.
One is the blatant, in-your-face, unapologetic endorsement of Operation Warp Speed.
Right, and that's always been a problem with Trump.
And I've consistently, on my show, I know you have railed against Operation Warp Speed.
And so I tell people, this is my response.
There's three things, in my opinion, that I care about if I'm voting for a president.
Maybe there should be 50, but there's three I really think about often.
Do you have a strong, like, do you have safety?
You know, do you have strong police, strong military?
Do you have safety?
That's issue one.
Yes.
Two, do you have a strong economy?
Okay, that's great.
Issue number three is, do you have medical freedom?
And, you know, basically, are you going to be dead as a result of vaccine mandates?
Because it wouldn't matter if you have a safe economy, a strong economy in a safe city if you're dead.
And so I just couldn't disagree with President Trump more about Operation Warp Speed.
I just couldn't.
And it's been even harder for me to stomach that as I watch Peter Navarro, his former top economic advisor, he's been saying out loud, Navarro, This is Peter Navarro.
He's been saying that the COVID shots...
He went on the Patrick David YouTube show and said that the COVID shots are, in fact, bioweapons.
This is Peter Navarro.
Right, right.
Cash Patel posting about effective therapies to potentially help people that have been vaccine injured.
I mean, so...
I just disagree about Operation Warp Speed.
That's my reaction about that.
But you do bring up a good point.
Under Trump, we had energy independence, which is so huge.
If we could have the Trump energy policies back in America, we wouldn't need to worry so much about the Middle East, which kind of segues to that question.
But, I mean, you make a good point, Clay.
Trump did a number of very important things.
And right now, One reason I want to see Trump back in the White House is because I just want to see all these traitors arrested.
You know, I mean, that's like...
You see, you're kind of segwaying into that second Trump question I get asked all the time is the FBI. Yeah, yeah.
And again, some of this is public now because of his social media posts on Truth Social, but some of it's been stuff that people said behind the scenes.
They're like, why is he in favor of making the FBI bigger or have a huge building erected in D.C.? What's that all about?
Yeah.
And I think you probably would want to interview Kash Patel, who I know has been on your program, and probably ask him that, because I don't know a lot about his plans.
I know Trump has always been a law and order kind of guy.
I know that he was railing against Bill Barr and railing against Ray, trying to get them to do anything ever, to ever arrest anybody ever.
I remember Trump tweeting one time, arrest somebody.
I remember him, exclamation point, arrest somebody, arrest anybody.
So...
I have no idea.
But again, I mean, I look at the FBI. I'm sure there's great people that work at the FBI. I'm sure the vast majority of people are great people.
But there has been a weaponization of that.
And I just I don't know anybody who's excited about building a massive FBI building in D.C. right now.
I don't know anybody.
This is the issue.
If you grow the size of government.
All those agencies that get all that money will come up with reasons to use that money, and for the most part, they're weaponizing it against the American people.
So, I mean, Trump has got to realize this.
If you make the FBI bigger, it's going to be more of a weapon against the American people.
And look at the FISA situation approved by Congress.
Illegal, unconstitutional spying on the American people.
The only answer to this is the Ron Paul answer, Clay.
It's smaller government.
Smaller government.
Smaller government.
Cut government funding and spending by 90%, and then you get your freedom back.
Third issue, Mike, and I'm telling people, I will vote for President Donald J. Trump.
I mean, given my two options, I'll be voting for Trump.
I've not apologized for that.
But the third issue is this whole idea of fake faith Speaker Johnson.
Now, he doesn't call him fake faith.
I call him fake faith, Speaker Johnson.
And one of the things that bothers me so much, before the Reawakened Tour, now that I'm doing the Reawakened Tour, before I met you, now that I've met you, just something that's bothered me for at least 30 years that I can remember.
I'm 43 years old, so for at least 30 years it's bothered me.
It's fake faith people.
It's where they understand the buzzwords.
So if you're out there watching today and you want to get applause, there's actually a recipe for it, okay?
So let me tell you what you do.
You come out, you build rapport.
You say, hey, Tulsa, good to see you.
How you doing, Austin?
Woo!
You get a little Ric Flair.
Woo!
And you get, how you doing, San Diego?
And there's a certain colloquial people appreciate that you know where you are.
Woo!
Rhetoricals that no one can say no to.
How many of you are in favor of strong police?
Woo!
How many of you love freedom of speech?
Woo!
How many of you...
It's Ric Flair everywhere.
How many of you are here?
Woo!
You know, you get that.
What happens is once you get that, if you really want to get it going in your fake faith, which is what Speaker Johnson is, you begin to say parts of the Bible.
And then you use that to mask that you don't actually do anything you say.
So you focus on what you say, not what you do.
In Latin, we call this octanon verba.
Octanon verba in Latin means watch what someone does, not what they say.
So a guy like Johnson, he'll go, you want to know my policy?
You want to know my policy on America?
It's the Bible.
What?
You're like, oh, that's crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
And then people are just so drunk with enthusiasm that no one says, hey, I think you're trying to ban the New Testament with H.R. 6090 there, you little weed.
Right, exactly.
Looks to me like you're trying to ban the New Testament, you weasel.
It looks like you're funding Ukraine, you weasel.
Looks like you couldn't agree with Biden more on any issue, you weasel.
So that bothers me a lot.
People keep asking me why Trump won't call out fake faith, Mike Johnson.
And again, I don't know.
Mike, I just don't know.
Well, Clay, so this is, I mean, I've interviewed Roger Stone on this show several times as well, and we had a discussion about this, and I said to Roger what I'll say to you, which is that, you know, the number one complaint really about Trump's first term, at least that I have, is that he tended to surround himself by people who were traitors.
So Trump himself would issue a directive, let's say, to the people around him and say, you know, get this done, go get this done, build a wall, get it done, you know.
And most of those directives were positive and constructive, but then the people around him would betray him, like, you know, the first attorney general that he had, and then the second attorney general that he had, and then, of course, Christopher Wray at the FBI that Trump kept there, and then Fauci, you know, we all know about that.
But even in the White House, everybody betrayed him.
And so the question is, Has Trump learned to stop doing that?
To stop bringing in people that are going to stab him in the back and stab America in the back?
Yeah, I don't know.
And you go back to that issue number four, people always ask me, they say, what's with Kushner?
What is with...
I've met the guy one time for about a total of 60 seconds.
Met him one time.
I consider Eric Trump to be a dear friend of mine.
I respect Eric Trump a lot.
Love Laura Trump.
Big fan of...
I mean, Laura Trump spoke at the church I go to, and she was asked by an audience, a pretty large audience, you know, what are your thoughts about the shots?
And she said, it doesn't make any sense for me.
This is what I'm paraphrasing, but Laura was saying it doesn't make any sense for anybody to take an experimental vaccine, nor should it be forced.
That was like her speaking from the heart.
And then people asked, well, how come your father-in-law is pushing it?
She says, I respect him as a leader, but I have no idea.
And she's just very clear about that.
So everyone has their own decisions.
We were just talking about the major concerns that people have about Trump while also stating that I will definitely be voting for him.
Got it.
Got it.
Okay.
Well, I mean, on a practical note...
You can't vote for Joe.
I mean, what are the choices, right?
Yeah, I would say this.
You know, I am 100% unapologetic about casting my vote for President Donald J. Trump.
However, when we talk about, you know, people have concerns about those around him, I bring up Kushner.
But I'm actually glad that President Trump, during a keynote speech recently, called out Kushner.
I mean, you can imagine the awkwardness of the next family gathering.
I mean, he just called out his son-in-law on national TV, but President Trump, to his credit, has now called out Jared Kushner as a liberal.
So, for what it's worth, that's a win for me.
Oh, he called him out as a liberal.
Yes.
He didn't say transhumanist.
He didn't talk about a lot of other issues that I might have, but he did call him out as a liberal while speaking at a major public event there.
It was the event where he rolled out or unleashed, I believe, the Trump sneakers.
And for anybody out there that hasn't heard this, this is the audio clip here, Mike.
This is President Trump here.
A guy named Van Jones.
You know Van Jones?
He works for CNN, so nobody watches.
But he came to my office, along with a few other people.
He was brought in by my very brilliant son-in-law, Jared, who's probably liberal, but I don't want to talk about him.
He's probably a liberal.
Probably liberal, but anyway, he says...
He brought it up and says, well, he doesn't want to talk about it.
So, I mean...
I don't know.
I'll give a point to President Trump on that.
I give him a point on the strong border.
I give him a point on the strong economy.
So I give him a lot of points.
I'm just very concerned about a couple points.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's fair.
And again, Trump is strong on energy.
That's for sure.
And we need domestic energy.
In fact, without affordable domestic energy, we have no future as a country.
And Western Europe is figuring that out real quick.
Are you watching the collapse of the German economy?
how fast that's happening, and they're locking up all their energy over there.
You know, the other thing I'll give President Trump points for or discussion for is he's actually addressing the central bank digital currency and the collapse of the dollar.
Now, you are probably one of the strongest I've ever heard.
I mean, you've done hour-long, multi-hour-long interviews about the collapse of the dollar, about central bank digital currencies.
I'm going to give people just a 30-second sprint through history here.
In 1971, America moves off the gold standard.
We have fiat currency introduced.
We have this thing called the petrodollar, which is based upon this weird relationship we have with Saudi Arabia.
We tell Saudi Arabia, we'll protect you militarily as long as you guys price your oil using U.S. dollars.
That relationship has done for the past 17 years.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, the BRICS bloc, they've been hoarding the Earth's gold.
January 1st, Iran, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, they all joined BRICS. Now Putin has said 25, maybe 40 countries are joining BRICS and they're all acting together financially and militarily.
So all I'm saying is we're about ready to see the end of the dollar.
And the only person that I know who's mainstream, who talks about this, I would say would be Trump.
Vivek Ramaswamy is concerning to me because he happens to have patents connected to the COVID shots and he happens to have a business history that is inextricably connected to Pfizer.
So again, President Trump is really the only mainstream, main voice calling out central bank digital currencies and the collapse of the dollar as an empire-killing, country-killing thing.
Yeah.
Well, you've nailed it right there, so let's talk about that in more detail.
Should Trump resume his control over the White House, which would be Trump's third term since he won the second election as well, Then he would be facing, of course, an unprecedented global financial crisis, which was worsened in large part by, of course, the Biden years.
So record debt spending, money creation, a trillion dollars every 100 days.
But most importantly, the weaponization of the dollar.
And the weaponization of the Western financial systems against other countries is accelerating those countries' desire to ditch the dollar and embrace the BRICS system.
And like you said in the pre-show, that's no longer just a theory.
It's a real practical thing that's happening every single day.
At some point, the dollar is just going to be rejected by most of the world.
How do you think Trump would handle that crisis?
I'll tell you how I would handle it, and I'm going to tell you how I would handle it.
I don't know how he would handle it, but this is how I would handle it, and I would love to be asked how to handle it.
I'm asking you now, yeah.
Go for it.
Yeah, this is what I would say if I was asked a question by President Trump.
I'd say, we need to introduce a new gold standard, all right?
So we're going to just, I'm going to make up an example today, but I would say, as President of the United States, you come out and you declare that one ounce of gold is worth $4,000.
Or just come up with some number that makes sense to you based upon the epic amount of inflation, money being printed, the monetary supply, etc.
You say, okay, moving forward, it's one ounce of gold is $4,000.
Or whatever the number is.
You peg the value of the dollar.
Two gold.
You do that, and then what you do is you say, we are going to have to put constraints on government spending.
And this might not be comfortable, but this is what I would do if asked.
I would say, I know it's crazy, but we're going to have to bring in as a government more money than we spend, or at least not spend more than we bring in, however you want to look at it.
So what we're going to have to do is get rid of the Department of Education, done.
Most welfare, done.
Any of this diversity, equity, inclusion stuff, done.
Any kind of woke departments, done.
The medical industrial complex, done.
And we're going to get back to doing what government should be doing, which is to get to provide Americans with the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
We're not going to guarantee everybody life, liberty, and happiness.
We're just saying that you have the pursuit of life, liberty, happiness.
Now, if you want to enslave yourself into drug addiction, we can't stop that.
If you want to be a gremlin and be super upset at your wife all the time, we can't stop that.
If you want to be a sluggard, we can't stop that, too.
But I think it is possible to implement a sound currency.
Once you do that, a lot of the corruption might go away, because for people out there who listen to your show regularly, they know that there's companies now, as an example, That you look at like Tesla and you go, how is Tesla worth X billions of dollars, but yet the company doesn't make a profit?
What?
You say, how is it that Twitter was worth X amount but it doesn't make a profit?
See, people like you and I that operate in a real economy, we just can't team up with our friends on Wall Street and print copious amounts of money or inject union retirement funds into the stock value of our companies.
So we'd get to a real economy very quickly, and I believe that a lot of the corruption you would see would cease to exist if we moved to a sound dollar.
Well, moving to sound money is a classic Ron Paul strategy, and I, of course, agree with you on that.
However, we used to have sound money, and then France wanted to trade in dollars for gold, and Nixon said, nope, we can't keep doing that because we have to keep printing money.
So he took us off the gold standard, and since then, the dollar's lost, what, 96% of its value.
So even if Trump wanted to do this, there's no willingness in Washington.
I mean, can you imagine Senator Lindsey Graham agreeing to a sound money policy where they can't just print money and hand it out to their friends and get kickbacks from the military-industrial complex to fund their campaigns?
I mean, the entire Washington system is a totally corrupt, fiat-currency-counterfeiting, money-laundering slush fund operation.
So it's impossible for something like that to happen.
I'm going to say this, and this is not a shameless plug for the Reawaken America Tour, but it is shameless and it is a plug.
Listen to this, folks.
So when you and I first met, we did that first event in Tulsa, and people were saying, where did this guy come from?
He's very pale.
Who is this person?
Who is this Clay Clark guy?
Well, you know, before this tour, you'd been doing your show forever.
I'd been listening to shows like yours, and I'm just kind of sitting back...
Watching Rome burn, growing companies, thinking at some point, if I have to get involved, I will.
Hopefully we can stop this.
So one of the things I implemented at the Reawaken tour, and you saw this, and hopefully you appreciated this, is I told the speakers you have to end on time.
You get 15 minutes, you get 15 minutes.
You get 20 minutes, you get 20 minutes.
And I was implementing this idea, Mike, that speakers have to start on time and end on time, and you can't pay for stage time.
Let me try again.
Start on time, end on time, and you can't pay for stage time.
And everybody was telling me it's not possible.
You can't have a conference where people can't buy stage time.
You can't have a conference where you insist on people ending on time.
And I'll say this, and Aaron Antis, who's not here, but he's a friend of mine, he's always stage side.
He's found that 95% of the time, we get people to speak on time and to end on time, and we never take payment for stage time.
And Mike, it has irritated some people.
Some people have cursed me out.
Some people have really lost their minds that I would hold them accountable to being on time and that I wouldn't sell stage time.
But we did it, Mike.
But I would just say this.
If you're going to actually make changes, it's going to cause people to get pissed.
And so President Trump has to have this one-term Save America strategy mindset.
He's got to go in with that mindset.
And it is going to irritate all of D.C., Mike.
Well, yeah, but I mean, I agree with you, and the president alone doesn't have the power to make all these changes, right?
So, you know, because of the separation of powers of government, you have to have the Senate in, you have to have the House in, you have to then have the judiciary in with it, and ultimately the Supreme Court.
And the system, I'm not trying to play like Mr.
Doom and Gloom here, but, Clay, the system's f***ed.
Okay?
It's gone.
It's gone.
There's no bringing this system back.
No, you can't be negative because I'm normally the one who gets called to be negative.
This is a good cop, bad cop thing because people always tell me, you're so negative on your show.
You're just negative.
You're just, you are just so, I can't tell you how often I get comments.
People will leave comments going, but God, you negative Nancy, you know, that kind of thing.
So I'm just, I'm a fact person.
I'm big into facts.
And so I'm saying this idea, and I know this show gets hyper-censored by mainstream media who watches it and looks for little clips they can take out.
But what I am saying, and again, you can correct my history on this.
Please correct my history.
But at a certain point on this, we recognize, hey, the Redcoats, Are not in favor of us having essential freedoms.
That's what the founding fathers were thinking, or at least somebody was having that thought.
And Sam Adams, someone could look up this and correct my history, but Sam Adams had what we would call liquid courage, always readily available.
And Sam Adams said, hey, we can't let these redcoats and these Tory sympathizers tax us without representation.
And I'm upset.
And the bar said, that's right.
And he says, I'm upset.
And the bar said, that's right.
And at some point, as legend has it, Sam Adams and others might have been inspired by liquid courage, but they went around painting red X's on the doors of the business owners and the people that were sympathetic to the Tories.
And we don't know exactly the history of events.
We don't know exactly how it happened.
But we do know that at some point people started throwing rocks.
There's rocks being thrown at the redcoats.
We know at some point a redcoat fired a shot.
Next thing you know, here we go.
And I'm not advocating for a civil war.
I'm just saying you're getting to a place, to a volcano moment, to the precipice of jackassery, to the absolute magnification of insanity, to the climax of the collapse.
It's all coming together, and something has got to change.
And I don't know what it is, Mike, but we're getting close.
Something is on the verge of breaking, and I love some of the terms that you use there.
But back to balancing the budget, that concept doesn't even exist in Washington, D.C. And frankly, if you don't address military spending, Social Security, and Medicare, you can't balance the budget.
Because those three things eat up the vast majority of the budget.
And Trump's not going to cut military spending.
He's been pro-military.
He gave the military the biggest budget ever.
It'll probably be a trillion dollars a year under Trump.
Trump can't cut Social Security.
You know, there'd be a massive uprising all over the country.
Can't cut Medicare.
And the unfunded liabilities to the American people are now, I think, about $300 trillion.
Right?
Right?
So, I mean, the government debt is like $35 trillion or close to that, but the unfunded liabilities are $300 trillion.
Which is just, you might as well just add 10 zeros to that.
It doesn't even matter.
It'll never be paid.
And I'm not trying to say that flipping a company is analogous to saving a country, but I'll just give you an example.
Years ago, Mike, I bought a business and it was in the rental space.
They rented tables, chairs, these kind of things for big events.
And I looked up and I recognized, okay, we've got some drivers who deliver party rental items that aren't licensed.
That came with the company.
We've got some employees that are lying about their hours.
We've got a salesperson that can't be honest two times in a row.
We've got a business that brings in a lot less than we're expending.
We're gonna have to get crazy here.
We're gonna have to do...
And people are like, what are you gonna do?
And so I just began firing everybody who was nefarious and replacing them And it was sort of a chaos.
And I'm not endorsing the rise out of the ashes strategy, okay?
I'm not endorsing the whole idea.
I'm just saying is there was so much chaos and people who were around me were like, have you lost your mind?
I don't know.
We're going to fire him, fire him, fire him, fire them, fire them.
You know what I mean?
And then eventually we started to rise as, wow, this company...
I was almost eking out a prophet, but it was a painful thing.
Another example, maybe more dramatic, but maybe more analogous.
There's a person in my life, I'll speak very vaguely, has a series of health problems, and they had to have a limb amputated.
Oh, my.
And they had a series of issues, and, you know, they had a limb amputated.
That's not going to grow back.
Not a joking matter, but at the same time, I mean, it's like if you knew the situation, you would say, yeah.
I mean, you know what I'm saying?
And so sometimes there's this, like, not positive solution.
To save the patient.
You cut off the limb or the patient dies.
I think that's where our country's at.
That's kind of the analogy I'm going to end with right there.
It's like, we are right.
There, where we got gangrene on the scene.
We have got some black mold up in that house.
I mean, we're going to have to strip it down to the...
If it was a house, you strip it right down to the framing.
If it was a person, you got to amputate a leg.
I mean, I don't know what analogy we need, but we're getting to that level right now where it is getting bad.
I completely agree with you, and I think this is the most brilliant thing that you've said here today, which is that if Trump gets back into the White House, and surely he couldn't talk about this publicly, but you and I might both agree that what he should do on day one is fire like 90% of the executive branch of the federal government.
Instead of funding a bigger FBI, he should fire.
Most of the FBI. He should fire most of the FDA. He should fire, I mean, just by firing people, which he alone has the right to do, he can shut down the NIH, he can shut down all these nefarious bioweapons programs alone.
He doesn't need congressional approval to do those things.
I talked to a person who's a leading scientist, whose name I shall not mention, leading scientist, who hit the peak of their career right around the time as Fauci became this institution in and of himself, around the Reagan years, okay?
And I asked this person, I said, if you were in the White House, what would you do?
And this is what they said.
This is a person who was very high up in that medical industrial research complex.
And they said, you know, you have to fire the director of everything.
Right, exactly.
And you have to file the assistant director of everything, and you have to file the people that fund everything.
And she says, you have to go down to really where you're talking about the entry-level employees.
Because everybody above that did something corrupt to get there.
And I said, how bad is it?
That's right.
This person said, no, literally, people who were promoted, they were sleeping with this person to get this thing.
This person's been blackmailed.
This person signed off on this bogus research.
I mean, it's bad.
So again, I look at Laura Trump as an example.
Again, microcosm.
I don't think people think that I think that fixing the RNC is as simple as...
Fixing the RNC is going to be as easy as fixing the government, or fixing the government will be as easy as fixing the RNC. But Laura Trump went in there as the co-chair of the RNC. I don't want to exaggerate the numbers, but it's publicly documented at this point.
Laura fired a lot of people, like four dozen people right away.
That was great.
Right away.
And it didn't impact donations at all.
And I guess the core question is, are you either for saving America or not?
Because if you're not, you're gone.
Well, right.
And getting rid of...
What was her name?
Rana?
She needed to go.
Yeah, and I'm just saying, someone should look it up right now.
I mean, Laura Trump has fired a lot of people.
And Laura's a friend of mine, and I know there's a lot of people that are not friends of her who are reaching out to me going, has she lost her mind?
She's fired like four dozen people in her first week.
And I said, you don't know that number's accurate?
I thought it was 43.
And they go, what?
I think what she's doing right now, I believe this.
I believe that she was cutting off the leg to save the patient.
I believe I saw it happen.
That makes sense.
And the donation went up high.
So the donations went to an all-time high that week.
So I would just say if I was President Trump and I could give President Trump advice on the top five action steps should he return to the White House, there's five I would do right away.
One, I would ban the use of 5G. A little bit crazy for a lot of people.
I know some of your listeners don't know what we know about 5G, but I would ban the use of 5G. That means remove those 5G towers.
Step number two, I'd ban the use of RNA modifying nanotechnology in the shots.
I'd ban the use of that.
Three, this sounds a little bit crazy, I would completely remove large numbers of people from their government-appointed positions, as you mentioned, just fire until you're, you know, just fire, fire, fire, and when in doubt, fire again.
I mean that, when in doubt, fire again.
Next thing I would make sure I would do is I would make sure that we have a strong military that protects America and doesn't try to be world police.
I would really focus on just making sure America has a strong border system.
I would return to a sound dollar.
I would return to sound money, a gold-backed currency.
That's what I would do.
That would be my advice.
And I really hope that President Trump hears this or something that sounds like this or some show gets to him.
But he needs people.
Like yourself, like General Flynn, like Laura Trump, people that have shown, like Peter Navarro, people that have shown to be fiercely loyal to America and nothing else.
And we've got to get rid of any of these people that have billion-dollar aspirations and book deals.
And I had a conversation the other day with someone very well-connected to President Trump, and I told them, you know, one thing you may consider with all the staff you bring in is you may say...
As part of working here, you're not allowed to have a book deal.
You're going to sign a legal agreement that says you won't get a book deal for at least 10 years after you leave the White House.
That's part of the deal.
Or something like that.
Because people are going in there with selfish ambitions.
And Clay, one of the things I really admire about you and your work is that you are an expert in helping businesses recover from dire circumstances, bringing them back to life.
You can take a zombie company And put the humanity back in it, bring it back to life to where it's doing well.
And in my own business operations, which are also considerable, in essence, we do the same thing with ourselves, not with outside companies.
But you've worked with hundreds of companies over the years, thousands if you talk about all your clients and students and so on.
And so it's people like you and I, and there are many other entrepreneurs out there across America who know how to meet a balanced budget.
They know how to make those hard cuts that you're talking about.
But nobody in the D.C. area or Virginia or any...
Most of the East Coast, for the most part, they just get free money everywhere, even from stock market money, stock market valuations, SPACs, and grant money, and just...
Just government handouts, so they've never had to balance a budget.
If Trump gets in the White House, I vote, bring in a bunch of people from Utah, Indiana, Texas, Oklahoma, real America, small business owners.
I'd love to see a home builder be in charge of the U.S. economy.
I mean that because home builders that I know, I could think of at least four that I know that manage a home building company that does more than $50 million a year.
And guess what they have to do?
They have to know the cost of supplies, cost of labor.
They have to make a profit.
There's no government grants for homebuilders.
They have to manage a variety of trades.
They have to look at the inflation.
They have to look at branding, marketing, hiring, firing.
Again, bring a homebuilder in.
That's right.
And for your Surgeon General, bring in somebody who has owned and run a natural health clinic that helps people actually get healthy.
There's an idea.
I'll say this to some frontrunners, and I don't want anybody to lose faith in these people just because I endorse them, but I've been watching people very clearly or closely over the past couple years, the last really five, six years, people around Trump.
And I can tell you, Ben Carson is a man that shows to be very loyal and mission over ego.
That's a guy who really wants to save our country.
I'm not saying I agree with him on every issue, but Ben Carson seems to be very solid.
Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson seems to be a very solid individual.
Very prominent but solid individual.
General Flynn, Peter Navarro, Kash Patel, Laura Trump.
There's a handful of people there that I really...
I mean, even guys like Patrick Bette-David.
Patrick Bette-David is somewhat of a celebrity.
People know who he is.
But he built something from nothing.
And he can understand...
He built an insurance company.
He understands how the real economy works.
Those are the kind of people that we need around Trump.
We really...
Not need these bureaucrats.
And I've met so many bureaucrats through the tour, Mike, because they come to me and they say, my organization, it's always an organization, by the way, my organization thinks that I should speak at your event and we'd like to talk to you about donating.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You can't buy stage time at my event.
I don't know if people know that, but most of the conservative events that exist right now, for about $50,000, that's the going rate, you can buy.
Really?
About $50,000.
$50,000.
Look at some of the big events.
That's crazy.
$50,000.
You can typically speak right now.
So I would encourage everybody out there, my calls to action would be, if you go to timetofreeamerica.com, as of right now, we have 251 tickets left on our ticker here.
251 tickets remaining for June 7th and 8th in Detroit, Michigan.
Regardless of what the mainstream media says, you can name your price.
You can pay whatever price you want to pay.
Trump's entire inner circle will be there.
Alina Habba, Kash Patel, General Flynn, Eric Trump, Laura Trump.
And then if you use promo code Mike Adams, again, you can name your price.
We're not going to charge you more.
There was a time where we were considering anybody who used promo code Mike Adams because Mike doesn't make a dime from the reawakened to her.
He refuses any type of affiliate income.
And so we decided that if you were going to use promo code Mike Adams, we were going to think about charging our listeners more if they bought a ticket to the Reawaken America Tour.
But we've decided for my wife's recommendation not to charge anybody more money if they use promo code Mike Adams.
Okay.
All right.
Fair enough.
The website is time2freeamerica.com, right?
And here's a calendar of events and where they're taking place.
And by the way, hey, Rhodey.
Here he is.
I've got to thank you, Clay, because my dog, Rhody, would not be here without you, by the way.
A lot of people don't know that.
Without your connections.
Here he is.
There he is.
Hey, Rhody.
What a happy dog.
Say hi to Clay.
Speak!
Speak!
Yeah.
Yeah, good boy!
Okay, they're saying hi to you there, Clay.
Yeah.
Brody looks so happy.
He's super happy.
I mean, he gets to play and swim and chew on my arm while I'm on video.
But thank you, Clay.
This guy's been a game changer, and the audience loves him, and it's because of your connections that he's here, by the way.
Hey, that's great.
I'll tell you, folks, if you want to look into my business connections and the businesses I'm involved in, anybody can go to Thrivetimeshow.com, and I'll save my final little blog here or note.
Tim Tebow, Tim Tebow, you know, the celebrated football player, unapologetic Christian, he's actually coming to my business conference in June, and most people don't know this, but since 2005, I've been hosting business conferences every two months, and as of today, we just now moved under 30 tickets remaining for that June 27th and 28th business conference, and again, So I've been doing those every two months for 19 consecutive years.
So everybody, come on out.
That's amazing.
It'll be a lot of fun.
Okay.
All right.
Well, those are the websites there, folks.
Well, timetofreeamerica.com is where you can find out about the schedule, the calendar.
And Clay, you know, I didn't mean to be...
I'm not attacking you on the show today.
I'm frustrated about where our country is headed, and I'm actually kind of desperate to know what you think might be solutions, and you shared a lot of good solutions with us today, and I really respect that.
So let's hope we can get Trump into the White House, and then he'll actually...
Fire 90% of the federal government.
Yeah.
That's what needs to happen.
It is.
It's true.
It's true, Mike.
Thank you so much, brother.
Thank you, Clay.
All right.
Have a great day.
Take care.
All right.
Thanks for watching.
Again, that was Clay Clark.
Just a great American.
And he's not afraid to have a tough, in-your-face conversation like we just had.
But the truth is, if Trump gets in the White House, he can't play patty cake with the deep state.
He's got to just...
Go all out of cleaning out the traitors and the corrupt bureaucracy, the deep state.
So we'll see if we even make it to Election Day.
How about that?
Because the current system in power is so desperate that they probably won't allow us to even get there without causing some kind of crisis.
But thank you for watching today.
Mike Adams here at Brighteon.com.
God bless America.
God bless you all.
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 you can show that.
You'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 ones 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.
As you can see, the magwell, 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, the 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.
You know, 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, you know, something that holds value.
But take action now because the world is becoming more chaotic and, 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.
