	Welcome to today's episode of Decentralized TV here on Brighteon.com, the free speech
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And as you know, Brighteon Media has filed suit against the federal government.
	We filed it on Memorial Day.
	We sued the Department of Defense, we sued Alejandro Mayorkas, and 10 John Does, plus we sued many big tech companies, NewsGuard, and many other organizations.
	Now today you're going to hear new details about that lawsuit and about the structure of the overall global censorship industrial complex with our special guest coming up here who is the expert on this topic.
	We're very privileged to have him here today.
	And joining me, of course, is also Todd Pitner, the co-host of the show here.
	Welcome, Todd. Hola!
	How are you? I know this is about censorship.
	Am I allowed to say John Doe on this, or will that get us in trouble with me?
	John Doe? Yeah, well, we've sued John Doe 10 times, I think.
	John Doe is going to get subpoenaed, that's for sure.
	Okay. But yes.
	Good to see you, Mike.
	Good to see you, and I know that you've been anticipating this subject today.
	I mean, this is where the rubber meets the road.
	Like, why are people like us being totally censored?
	And Todd, I recently tried to upload my first Bible sermon to YouTube, and they censored this sermon.
	I was reading scripture and they said it was medical misinformation.
	You're kidding. I'm not kidding you.
	That's how crazy it is.
	That's what they gave you was medical misinformation?
	Medical misinformation because I teach herbs from the Bible.
	They're like, no, that's not allowed.
	The Bible is contraband.
	So that's how crazy it is.
	What an upside down world.
	And then if you talked about, you know, The latest criminally insane sex cult, it would go right up and get probably a million views.
	Or if you were advocating for it, then that would be even more popular.
	Oh, no problem. But our guests, let's bring in our guest today.
	He is the expert.
	In fact, he is the expert who consults on our lawsuit.
	Jason Fick and the organization that he found is called the Social Media Freedom Foundation.
	Welcome, Jason, to the show today.
	Thanks, Mike. Thanks for having me.
	It's great to have you, Jason.
	And let me just say, before you begin, I really am honored to have you on, and I've grown to so deeply respect your knowledge and your determination.
	There's a whole backstory here that people haven't heard, and maybe we don't have time to go into it all.
	But let me just say it this way.
	If you had not been censored by Facebook early on, you would probably be a billionaire right now.
	You would have a billion-dollar business easily.
	They destroyed your business.
	You got into trying to decode the censorship industrial complex.
	You became an expert, the expert, joined our case, and now you're involved in several cases about trying to protect freedom of speech.
	So, is that a fair intro where we can begin?
	It's fair. I would say my ultimate introduction into free speech was...
	I was way back in Baltimore when they restricted my speech, which would have been taking videos in public, but that put me on a path where I'm particularly sensitive to the free speech suppression realm.
	But yes, it was my case that ultimately got me into this The social media realm and protections, legal protections, and ultimately, you know, unraveling this censorship industrial complex.
	I mean, it's pretty bad.
	So start with that.
	You and I were using the term censorship industrial complex.
	I know Todd has also got a bunch of questions for you, but for the audience, let's assume that this is the first time they've heard that term.
	They don't know what you and I know about how the U.S. government, you know, outsources and launders censorship to NGOs in the U.K. and everything.
	Paint for us a big picture.
	What is the censorship industrial complex?
	So, let's look back, right?
	There was something called the National Defense Authorization Act, right?
	That was signed into law by President Obama at the time.
	Now, what that did was that created something called the Global Engagement Center, the division of the Department of State.
	Now, the Department of State Which most people understand is their whole purpose is to protect us from foreign countries, right?
	That's their whole charter.
	And the Global Engagement Center was set up specifically in that circumstance, or what we call the GEC, that was set up to essentially take down any kind of dis or misinformation coming from foreign entities.
	That Global Engagement Center then paid for what sometimes people hear the term NGO. That means a non-governmental organization.
	It's something that is not government affiliated.
	They paid these NGOs money to create censorship tools.
	Now, what I mean by that is that The technologies that are needed to scale in order to censor on a massive level were paid for by U.S. government funds, right?
	So right out of your taxpayer dollars, they created these censorship tools.
	The thing was, is these censorship tools were supposed to be used by government entities against foreign dis- and misinformation, and they were specifically not to be used for domestic information, you know, American speech.
	But, like all other things in this world, Those tools were then opened up to big tech so that they could censor bigger, better, and faster.
	Well, not only were big tech now using them, they weren't going to use them necessarily for foreign disinformation.
	They were going to use them for domestic information.
	Well, all of a sudden, the Department of State has now created censorship tools which are going to be used to go after American speech, funded by the Americans.
	So, what gets...
	Where this starts to get even crazier is that the Global Engagement Center, which is the Department of State, well, there was more than that.
	There was the Department of Homeland Security got involved, the Department of Defense got involved, and what they've now said is that information that essentially disagrees with the government narrative is somehow dangerous to this country.
	Well, we started digging into it, and of course, your lawsuit, it really shows how that Censorship apparatus was built, how it all came together, how this industrial censorship complex tool was made.
	But that's the first half of it.
	They went after you very early on in the game.
	And you can almost wear that as a badge of honor, Mike, because when they went after you, they went after you because you're a threat.
	And the reason for that was is that social media did something that they didn't even expect.
	And when I say they, who's they?
	They have a name.
	Swamp, Deep State, the establishment.
	That's what I like to use the most is the establishment government.
	It was this set of implicit rules, both overt and covert, but they were rules that came out of World War II, and we're seeing much more of this information coming out that essentially the world is playing on what you would consider one world government.
	That everybody's going to play a part and they're going to, you know, toe the line.
	And that, unfortunately, for them, and for us, because we're dealing with a problem right now, it's in conflict with our Constitution.
	The power of our government isn't the government.
	It's us. We, the people, have the power.
	So it's contrary to our own constitutional rights.
	And this establishment has been...
	For the longest time now, I mean, I would say this probably goes back even further, but I would say it really goes into play right around the time of Kennedy's assassination, where whoever they put in, Democrat or Republican, both of the candidates are subscribing to this establishment They are establishment candidates.
	Can I throw a term in there?
	I'm going to call it Atlanticist.
	Atlanticist. Atlanticist, because it's US and UK. These are the power centers that are controlling the global conversations, the global monetary system, global wars, global pandemics, medicine, science, you name it.
	It's this Atlanticist cabal.
	It's almost as if the Revolutionary War never really ended.
	We stopped the fighting, but it's almost like America said, We'll give you some rights, but we're actually really going to continue to run the show, right?
	Right. And the reason that we know that, obviously, Mike, is in your case, that's one of the things we come to find out, is that the UK, especially with the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, for example, they targeted you, didn't they?
	Yes. I mean, they went after you guys viciously.
	You guys are purveyors of some of the worst information in the world, and Lo and behold, they use government-funded tools to take you down based upon what a foreign entity doesn't want to hear.
	So the US government laundered the censorship to a UK organization so that it could be like arm's length away from the censorship.
	Yeah. So you have officials in the United States government working with a foreign government agent To suppress domestic speech and more specifically constitutional sovereign rights.
	That's right. You know what that's called, right?
	Civil rights violation. I would be pushing sedition or treason.
	And see, that's the level at which this has now progressed is that the establishment is so hell-bent on keeping power.
	They can't stand that a populist president like Donald Trump came in and disrupted the system.
	You know how they disrupted the system?
	Because a lot of people don't know what happened.
	Well, just prior to the 2016 election, this is some of the new information we're releasing to people here.
	Just prior to that election, they took down – I think Facebook announced that they took down 300 Russian bot accounts.
	Well, those Russian bot accounts weren't Russian at all.
	That's why we're seeing Russiagate 2.0 right now.
	Russia, Russia, Russia is all throughout the news.
	They claim that they were Russian disinformation because in those days they didn't understand the power of social media.
	And what I mean by the power of social media is that the candidate, Trump, Could talk directly to its electorate, meaning directly to us.
	We no longer had that media-government filter in between.
	We could see what he was actually saying, and it's just like – I mean you see it all the time, like the media thing with South Carolina where they said these people are good people, and that turned out to be complete falsehood because that's what they were doing.
	They were acting as this opaque filter to give you this terrible guy when the reality is all you have to do is just listen to him.
	And that's what's happening.
	You see a lot of people waking up because all they're doing is listening to him.
	We're not any kind of cult.
	We're realizing what he's saying is what we all believe.
	We want the safety and security of our families.
	We want our freedoms. Basically, government, leave us alone.
	Well, this is where this cabal starts getting really ramped up is because that connection that he made, they weren't prepared for that, not during the 2016 election.
	And all of a sudden they got blindsided where they're saying that Clinton's going to win, Clinton's going to win.
	And then all of a sudden Trump takes it and they weren't prepared.
	So they had to concede power.
	Now Trump takes office and everybody thinks, well, then it was a Trump administration for those four years.
	It wasn't.
	It was a leftover Obama, Clinton, Bush establishment government.
	Everybody that was working under Trump would be what he was calling the swamp.
	That's the establishment. It's the military industrial complex.
	It is all of these people that wanted status quo to remain the same.
	That's not what Americans want anymore.
	We don't want status quo.
	We are losing our rights and we're tired of it.
	And that is why Donald Trump represents the best of what we're trying to do here, which is stop it.
	I want to add, though, in 2017 and 2018, Trump was not on the ball realizing that censorship was even happening.
	When I was being censored, just for the record, I was deplatformed before Alex Jones.
	Very few people realize that.
	I was one of the first to be deplatformed.
	And when I was dumped off of YouTube, that's when I decided to build Brighteon.
	It was that day, actually.
	And in a way, YouTube forced me to build Brighteon.
	But Trump, and it was denied across the conservative media, independent media, and among Republicans especially, it was denied that there was any censorship happening at all, because at that time they were only censoring people like me who could easily, because I was criticizing vaccines pre-COVID when people didn't realize that How bad vaccines were.
	Now, oh yeah, like most people get it.
	Before COVID? No, that was only maybe 5% of the population understood what I was saying back then.
	Well, keep in mind, Mike, back then you were a conspiracy theorist and that was a bad thing.
	Nowadays, a conspiracy theorist is just factually accurate in about 6 to 12 months.
	And that's what it is. The population has caught up.
	The biggest revelation that Donald Trump brought forward is the government lies to us.
	Constantly, from every direction, with every method they possibly can, they lie to continue their power grab.
	And if we do not stop it, this is the clarity of this discussion, Mike.
	If we don't stop it, At least at this election, it may not be stoppable.
	At least not with words anymore.
	It may come to violence.
	And that's it.
	This is the line in the sand that America needs to take because exactly that.
	We've woken up. We all know that this is actually happening.
	And part of that, just one of the tools in their repertoire, is the industrial censorship complex.
	It's the manipulation of information on all sorts of levels.
	It's not just censorship.
	It's prioritizing and amplifying the message and narrative of the government.
	These companies aren't just removing content.
	They're pushing content forward.
	They're amplifying the things that they want to hear.
	Kamala promises right now, and I know, Todd, you've got a ton of questions.
	Oh, no worries. But Kamala promises if she's re-elected, We're good to go.
	That's literally what every dictatorship has done in history.
	That's right. I mean, it's, you know, textbook 101 dictatorship.
	That's right. And she says that even Elon Musk should probably be arrested because he has violated his speech privileges.
	What do you mean privileges?
	It's not a privilege.
	It's a right. The point is it was given to you from God or natural-born, meaning you already had a right to speak your mind, think what you want.
	There is no such thing as a privilege.
	The only point of the Constitution is it doesn't give us our rights.
	It ensures that they exist.
	For exactly the scenarios that we're dealing with right now, Mike, in your case, is that we can use that document, point to it and say, either protect this document or this country is going to die.
	The whole idea of freedom is going to die with it.
	Exactly. So, Todd, I know you've done a lot of research here, but hearing what you've heard here so far today, what's your reaction?
	Yeah. Well, I have one question, but before we do, because before the interview we weren't properly introduced, Jason, and my name is Todd and I self-identify and my personal pronoun is conspiratard.
	So now that we have that out of the way, I am one of those conspiracy theorists.
	My question is this.
	This lawsuit of Mike's is a really, really big deal.
	And I like to think that we might be able to manifest the future in a positive way.
	So my question to you, Jason, is let's do that.
	Let's presume that Mike is going to fillet them.
	He's going to win.
	What impact would that have on our future?
	When, not if, Mike wins this lawsuit, Jason Fick.
	Okay, conspirator Todd.
	I love it.
	That is so great. So no, that's actually an excellent question.
	Let's say hypothetically that Mike Adams wipes the floor with him, right?
	That all of it is a jury says, yep, you're right, you win, hands down.
	What does it do? So we're seeking two different things.
	One is declaratory action against the United States government.
	What they mean by, it's kind of like what the word says, to declare.
	We need the courts to declare that what they did is unconstitutional.
	This whole government-private partnership scenario where they're using big tech as what we're calling the instruments, right?
	Because that's all they are.
	They're an instrument of government censorship.
	They are the instruments by which they use to censor, right?
	It's to manipulate and control these narratives.
	Well, declaratory action would stop the government, at least in theory, like Noah saying, best case scenario, hypothetically, it would stop.
	It means the government would stop involving itself, stop injecting itself, stop going after domestic speech, and it would basically galvanize the First Amendment against modern-day online social media censorship.
	It would stop it. Now, does censorship still exist?
	Well, yes, it would.
	This brings us to the second piece of this.
	Censorship would still exist in the capacity of a private entity, because what about the scenario where the government doesn't necessarily tell them what to do, which they did in our case?
	I understand something. This isn't a hypothetical.
	Brideon was named by the government.
	So this is direct evidence of direct censorship.
	This is not hypothetical or circumstantial at all.
	So in that circumstance, well, the question then is, is that, well, these companies have a First Amendment right.
	They have the ability to take down any content they want under their First Amendment right.
	And a lot of people, you know, there's this thing, Section 230, right?
	That's really how I got my entry into this, is we've been fighting a Section 230 fight for years, and that's the protections, the liability protections that these companies get.
	Well, we did something that other cases haven't done, which is we didn't just sue government.
	We sued everybody.
	Everybody that's part of this conspiracy in the cabal.
	So we not only sued the United States, we sued private entities both domestically and in the UK. We're dragging some of these UK companies here, right?
	But we also sued all of big tech.
	I mean, this thing is such a monster.
	And of course, you know, people say, well, why is it in the news?
	Because it's dangerous to the establishment.
	They don't want this thing to happen, right?
	Well, the second piece being that we're not just suing the government.
	We're all – because Missouri versus Biden is just suing the government.
	We're suing big tech, which means that while the government itself, meaning the courts, they can't necessarily enjoin a private entity's ability to free speech.
	They can still censor. The government can't tell them to stop to do that.
	They can still do it voluntarily.
	But – Part of this situation is that we are also not afraid of Section 230 because that is what I've been working on for seven years.
	Section 230 has been applied wrong, and because of that, it's become what would be considered unfettered, unconstitutional immunity because it denies Fifth Amendment rights to everyone.
	These private entities can restrain our civil liberties, and we can't sue them.
	We should be able to.
	And if they're exposed to proper liability, meaning 230 gets corrected, and we actually hit them for the liability for the illegal actions that they have taken against Mike Adams and Brideon and so forth, all of a sudden liability is what will restrain their behavior.
	So Jason, real quick, is section 230, social media section 230, tantamount to what the big pharma gets to where they cannot be sued, they get a free pass?
	Is it the same?
	Yeah, I would agree that it is somewhat similar.
	It is what's known as an affirmative defense.
	So if you consider it in the context of self-defense, It's when a company commits what might be an otherwise unlawful act.
	They do something that breaks the law.
	If they can prove, just like self-defense, if they prove that they acted as a good Samaritan in good faith in taking down the content, they would be protected from liability.
	But that's not how it's been applied.
	It's been misapplied. It's been applied as just unilateral protection.
	Which, I mean, that's almost closer to what Big Pharma has had, which is absolute unilateral protection when they really shouldn't.
	Because if they're doing nefarious stuff, we should, and again, if it hurts...
	So, like, imagine in the case of Big Pharma is that they create a vaccine, big stretch here, right?
	And that vaccine harms somebody, but they do it deliberately.
	Are they absolved of all liability, or should they be able to be held accountable Right.
	Right. Right. Well, that's where we hit them with Section 230, where they can't really get out of it.
	We said, wait a second. If these companies can take down our content however, whenever, and it's not subject to any kind of congressional intent, and just whatever at the whim that they want, well, then that means they can restrain my rights without my ability to seek any legal remedy.
	That's a violation of my Fifth Amendment.
	Amazing. And So Section 230 is that you personally have been fighting against that, right?
	From a personal standpoint, can you give us just a little bit of brief insight into how you were censored that got you into this game?
	Let me add to that question, too, if you don't mind.
	Also, Jason, in answering that, bring us up to speed how 230 is beginning to be reinterpreted by the courts in recent cases.
	That is highly relevant to where we're going, not only with our lawsuit, but just as a country.
	Well, this is a great segue because it really is how Mike and I got introduced to one another.
	Back in 2016, Facebook took down a whole bunch of my pages.
	Now, the reason for that is because when Facebook is taking money from advertisers and they're putting it in your newsfeed, they actually have to displace the rest of us, right?
	So Facebook became a direct competitor of every user just like me.
	And because they have a dominant power, meaning they control not only are they a competitor, but they're also the dominant power that controls the website, they can just remove me in favor of their partners, their advertisers.
	Well, they wiped me out trying to get rid of me, and I caught them red-handed, literally with their hand in the cookie jar because they took down my content about five or six months goes by, and I went to a competitor, a former colleague of mine, who had spent millions, like millions in advertising with Facebook, and they had representatives that specifically worked with them.
	And I asked them, I said, hey, can you guys see if Facebook will reinstate my pages?
	And they went to Facebook, and Facebook comes back and says, no, unless you own them.
	What? Huh?
	So, I didn't have any other option.
	I mean, they're worth nothing unpublished.
	I transferred it to the other company, and lo and behold, they all got turned back on, which means the content that was supposedly violating their terms of service or community standards was the identical content that they just reinstated and said was fine.
	No, the problem was who owned it.
	I didn't present as much value.
	So I sued them for unfair competition, which is effectively antitrust.
	The state-level version of it, right?
	We took it all the way to the Supreme Court, not once, not twice.
	We are on our third run to the Supreme Court.
	And that is because the courts have misinterpreted a single word in the law.
	One word. Whole thing.
	The entire internet is broken on one word.
	What is it? The word is the.
	James Madison once argued that the most important word of the right to free speech is the word the, because it denotes that it is a specific right that pre-exists.
	In 230C1, it says, no provider, user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.
	The courts have consistently misdrafted it as a publisher.
	Which turned it from they can't be treated as somebody else into they can't be held accountable as a publisher.
	That is a massive change in law that is not consistent with its language.
	It's not consistent with the intent, and it's not consistent with the Constitution.
	So we have now challenged this law constitutionally.
	That's what we're facing right now.
	After two trips to the Supreme Court, we could have fixed the internet a long time ago if the Supreme Court took our case.
	Twice they denied us certs.
	And we've been saying exactly what courts are now militating towards, and it's funny because it's what I suspected was going to happen.
	The Ninth Circuit is just stonewalling.
	They will not fix this thing because they have two and a half decades of bad precedent that they would have to overturn.
	Lots of cases are wrong.
	And then comes along the Fourth Circuit Court, and they said, no, this is wrong in a case called Henderson v.
	Public Data. All of a sudden, now you have a circuit conflict between the Fourth Circuit and the Ninth Circuit.
	Well, guess what? The Third Circuit, less than a month ago, came up with another decision, Anderson versus TikTok.
	Did you see that? The TikTok case?
	And all of a sudden, it defies all logic, right?
	Well, the reason it defies logic is because it is absolutely 100% in line with what we have been saying all along.
	230C1 does not protect any publishing conduct whatsoever.
	It only prevents them from being treated as somebody else.
	It's exactly what we've been arguing for six to seven years.
	Oh, that was the TikTok case about somebody dying from some kind of viral challenge thing that was on there?
	Yeah, the...
	What do they call it? The...
	It was the thing where they...
	Holding your breath? Holding your breath challenge or something?
	Yeah. And the point there was...
	The point that that whole case made was...
	It is not about that they restricted materials in bad faith.
	It had nothing to do with treating them as the author of those challenges...
	It had to do with the fact that they knew that those challenges exist, and they continue to recommend and facilitate the same harm.
	That has nothing to do with Section 230.
	That has to do with what they did and what they're responsible for.
	That is exactly the premise of what we're dealing here now with Brighteon and Mike Adams' case.
	We're dealing with what they did.
	Culpability for what their actions were that even extended beyond publishing actions, which is the same thing that happened in my case.
	I'm not suing over my own content.
	I mean, think about the absurdity of this.
	They're saying that I'm treating Facebook as the publisher or speaker, me, of my own content.
	That's absurd. No, I'm suing them for their own actions, right?
	That's kind of common sense.
	But that's the mistake that's been made.
	Okay, Jason, now, bring us up to speed now.
	Since we filed our lawsuit, which was filed on Memorial Day, and I'm so grateful to have your help on that because we were able to get that out into the public.
	Now, that lawsuit has then since inspired other legal efforts that are currently underway.
	Now, I understand that you're also serving as an expert consultant on another case.
	We don't have to talk about who it is, but that...
	Like, you thought our case was, what was uncovered was crazy, was wild.
	But then, as I understand it, what you've now uncovered in this other case is even crazier than what you saw in our case.
	What are you able to speak about in terms of just the maliciousness, the bad faith of the censors, big tech, big government, the overseas organizations, that maliciously tried to silence and destroy certain voices online?
	So it's funny because I could even take it a step back further than that.
	I thought my case was the big bombshell case, and then your case came along, and then this case came along, and it's like mine was a bombshell.
	Yours was a nuclear bomb.
	Theirs is an Earth-shattering asteroid.
	A nuke from orbit is what we call that.
	And see, what it is is this, is that when I first was dealing with my case on the Section 230 front, I thought this was isolated to just courts making bad decisions, maybe a couple bad judges.
	You know, and I think that that's what kind of like the world was looking at before Donald Trump, too, is we thought, all right, well, maybe there's some bad apples in the government and so forth.
	But by and large, it's still good, guys.
	And maybe it's just, you know, what do they say to error on the side of stupidity rather than the side of malice?
	I think there's a quote to that extent.
	But as we got into your case, and I did all of the research to understand how this apparatus was put together, and it was really...
	We worked on that for a year and a half, I think.
	And I mean, it was just every rabbit hole that kept going down, it was like, this is deliberate.
	This is not some bad apples in the government.
	This was a deliberate apparatus that was built to do exactly what it's doing.
	They just didn't have it under control before they lost control when the wild card Donald Trump comes in.
	They didn't expect that to happen.
	So they put it into overdrive with what was called the Election Integrity Project.
	So now you were in that gap where Donald Trump was in office, and they were hitting everybody.
	Well, yes, they hit you, and they took you down because you were supporting a lot of the ideals they did not like, any of the narratives that you were contradicting.
	And what that does, it speaks to your voice.
	I mean, I tell you, and I'm honored and privileged to work with you because I can tell you so many people are like, you work with Mike Adams?
	I'm like, yeah. They're like, I love his stuff.
	Why? Because you speak the truth, Mike.
	We have a lot of private conversations now about everything that's going on, not even on the topic of these lawsuits, but just in general, And it's a united front that we're all starting to understand that MAGA is not about any of these nonsense that talk about.
	What it is, it's a populist movement where we're sick of this establishment.
	We want to reset it, but they do not want to give up power.
	Well, you were the first stage of that.
	My case had to do with the lever by which they coerce these companies.
	They protect them in certain circumstances, like the carrot, or they'll expose them to antitrust liability when they want, which is the stick.
	So yours then, they used it to get you out.
	And obviously, as other cases progressed, we entered into another case that is very much like Missouri versus Biden.
	But it is Missouri versus Biden on steroids.
	It's like You know how well – Mike can speak to this specifically, but he knows how well I research and how deep I dive and how much I dig.
	They set me to task on everything that happened after you, which is everything to do with where the Election Integrity Partnership morphed into the Virality Project and they went after COVID-19 stuff.
	I really, truly believe that they were trying to kill a lot of people.
	That I think that this depopulation thing is very, very real.
	You mean through censorship, they were trying to maximize COVID fatalities?
	Correct. They were trying to do as much damage as they can because, of course, people were trying to make decisions based on informed consent, right?
	That's the premise of this, is informed consent.
	but they were trying to take the information away from us and deliberately doing it.
	And the further down that rabbit hole I went and the further I researched, and I can't, I mean, we made a joke of it before we started this whole thing is like, all these things that are changing, all of these cases that are coming out and so forth, I'm having a heck of a time trying to keep up with everything because I'm reading constant cases.
	And the reason being is because this information is just pouring out the Twitter files, the Facebook files, the, you know, I mean, just recently we have Mark Zuckerberg admitting the government pressured it, but of course, you know, he walked back and said, well, ultimately we did it voluntarily.
	No, you didn't. But that was a huge admission.
	His letter was huge.
	Well, here's the thing, Mike, is for us, it's not.
	We knew it. We knew it in the evidence and so forth.
	What it represents is simplified information that everybody in the world went, what?
	Because they made it simple enough for people to understand.
	I generally go into groups, and I mean, you know, I start talking about Section 230, and everybody says, whoa, whoa, slow down.
	This is complicated. And that's what it is, is that we're fighting a very complex fight that when you get these talking point versions, well, now at least the world is receptive to this information.
	That's the great part, right?
	Why do you think that Mark Zuckerberg put out that letter?
	Well, the way that I see it is this.
	Donald Trump has such an overwhelming lead over Kamala.
	Don't believe any of the nonsense out there.
	I mean, the people that do go, oh, Kamala's got so much backing.
	There's so many. Now, we learned, just like Russia, here we go again with Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia Gate 2.0.
	The premise of this is, and I think that people need to be aware of, is the government lies to us.
	The media lies to us.
	Not kind of lies, not manipulates.
	They flat out lie through their teeth, and they should be in jail for it, not because of free speech, but because they're literally trying to degrade the sovereign rights of the individual we the people.
	This is sedition.
	I mean it is on a level that you wouldn't believe because the rabbit hole that I'm going down, this is legit happening, that the government has essentially effectuated a coup by taking Donald Trump out of the mix.
	Went after to try and depopulate the nation and control the world, and a lot of these other world governments are working with ours, which is, I believe, the fracture line.
	This is a monster. This is the fracture line in the Democratic Party because some of them are going with the globalists, and others like RFK Jr., who are irrational Democrats, are saying, no, I'm rejecting this nonsense argument, and I'm going to go support Trump, who is really just a populist movement.
	All we represent is freedom.
	And so while it's not necessarily news to us, it is a great representation in simple form.
	But I think Zuckerberg's basic plan here is this, and it all ties together.
	They took Donald Trump out of the running.
	It was a coup to get him unseated.
	He has not quit.
	He has come back way harder.
	More people have waken up.
	And, I mean, look at it.
	They're losing the black vote.
	I see it left and right.
	The black vote, they're realizing, wait a second, we've been duped by this.
	And yet, as soon as you realize you're being lied to, more people are coming.
	And I think it's going to be so overwhelming.
	What do they call it? The cheat margin.
	I think he was right.
	It's too big to rig.
	He may have so much support from so many directions.
	Even the election, there's only so much they can cheat before it's so blatantly obvious.
	And I think that that's what the world is now watching.
	I mean, they tried to kill him.
	They realized that it would be easier now to kill him and deal with the aftermath of that.
	I mean, okay, you can say it was some lone gunner.
	No, I'm sorry, but no.
	That was a conspiracy in my opinion.
	But if you take him out, they were prepared to deal with that backlash, which could have sparked a war.
	I mean, legitimately.
	But now they can't do that, and if they tried again...
	That'd be tough. But now the question is, they can't allow him into office.
	They can't allow him to be president, but they also can't not allow him if he wins on that margin.
	So, and I'll leave you with this, Mike, and then I want to give it back to you here.
	What happens when an immovable object, it's an unstoppable object?
	That is what we're looking at with this election is It's going to be catastrophic one way or another to somebody.
	We just don't know who.
	Wow. Well, what all of us here agree on.
	I mean, this show is about decentralization.
	We want to help show people a world where they are more free because power is decentralized out of the hands of the controllers.
	And this choice in this election is very clear.
	It's all about controlling speech, having centralized government control, criminalizing speech they don't like.
	And it's very clear that Kamala has Marxist or communist philosophies that believe that speech is only something that is allowed by the government.
	So, clearly, the Democrat Party has become authoritarian, tyrannical, treasonous, dangerous to humanity.
	Now, I'm not saying Trump is an angel.
	I'm not saying Trump's right about everything.
	Trump's wrong on some things.
	He's just not some...
	But he doesn't want to destroy America and end free speech and all of that, right?
	No. But they say he does.
	Yes? Remember, they say he does.
	They say he wants to be a dictator and that the elections will end, and so because they take the context and they manipulate it like they do on everything.
	Oh, of course. And that's exactly what those of us that are informed get it.
	We understand what they're doing now.
	But, Jason, if Trump wins, all right, now our case will still be very much undecided.
	It's going to take probably years.
	We're not even to the discovery phase yet, right?
	Right. If Trump wins, does that somehow help our case or other cases that are in the process of, you know, does it help in the courts if the DOJ changes over to somebody like Ken Paxton as the attorney general of the nation?
	It could.
	And this is unfortunate because this is not the way the law is supposed to work.
	Law is supposed to be defined.
	Black and white, we're either right or wrong.
	Unfortunately, the courts are now politicized, and the switching of the DOJ may make a dramatic difference in terms of how the courts react.
	Now, the reason I say that is because, again, if you go back to what you said about why did Mark Zuckerberg say what he said, is it possibly because he's afraid that Donald Trump is actually going to win?
	And if Donald Trump takes You know, office, he is now a wild card that is not beholden to anyone.
	He has an axe to grind, and he has a lot of the swamp that he has now identified.
	With a DOJ that was in our favor, you know, and essentially in the favor of the constitutional rights and doctrines, they'll go after them.
	And, you know, he lies through his teeth, and I really hope that Donald Trump understands that You don't believe anything Mark Zuckerberg says.
	The guy is a massive liar.
	He does whatever is in his best interest, as do most billionaires.
	But as it pertains to our case, it could mean – I don't – It's a scary thing to talk about, but I'm going to address the elephant in the room.
	It may mean that we actually have more safety because the establishment will be more focused on them.
	If the establishment gains control again, we are going to become targets very, very fast.
	They're going to—and I'm not even being hyperbolic about this—they're going to jail most of the people that were MAGA supporters.
	This is a fight for our lives.
	And we know it. The people that are at the top of this game, we know that we are, you know, what do they say?
	The tallest nail gets the hammer kind of thing.
	We're tall nails, Mike.
	And I mean, that's the reality of it.
	And that's why it's not a joke when I sit there and say that I'm not suicidal.
	I'm not. I'm very happy with my life.
	I'm doing, you know, good things for this country.
	I'm proud of what I've done. I'm proud of the work that I've done for you and for these other people that, you know, that I'm working with and to save rights.
	This is going to become a very dangerous world, and I think that it's going to come to violence if the establishment is able to hold on, because the populist movement is just simply too big now.
	Well, it seems to me that if Harris is elected, and again, she has promised to do two things.
	She's promised to abolish the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, both.
	Yeah. And fourth.
	Don't forget the fourth. Yeah, clearly.
	That's going to go on anyhow.
	If you think about this, they would need some major event in order to cite that event.
	Massive false flag, massive homegrown terrorism actually run by the FBI, or a nuclear war with Russia, or something on that scale.
	They couldn't just announce, hey, we're canceling the First and Second Amendment without a lot of backlash, but they could, in the aftermath of some massive event like a nuclear war, they could probably get away with at least, you know, a lot of inroads into that.
	Martial law. Well, that's exactly what I meant by unstoppable object meeting an immovable object.
	It's something, you know, those of us that can really understand, and I mean, it's It's distressing because I know, Mike, I know you understand this, Todd.
	I'm sure you probably do as well.
	We're headed for some really ugly times.
	No matter what happens, whether it is Trump or Kamala, bad things are coming.
	We know they're coming.
	I mean, I think we're going to see more false—I mean, it's like clockwork.
	Oh, another school's shooting.
	Oh, they're going after guns again.
	You know, it's going to be the same routines.
	Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia Gate 2.0.
	I mean, it's just one of those, it's as if they treat us like we can't even, like we're goldfish, that we have a two-week long memory, you know?
	And we're not.
	I mean, it's one of those, you know, I'm 50 years of age.
	I remember when freedoms actually existed.
	You know, when their government officials respected their constitutional rights, and now we have government that is just absolutely inundated with people that think they're doing good things by suppressing speech that hurts people's feelings.
	They don't even understand the principles of freedom.
	We fought a war because we weren't allowed to talk about what we wanted to talk about.
	It's called dissent.
	It's scary because when you start to reflect, I mean...
	The truth is a very scary thing, and a lot of people can't deal with it.
	And people are only just barely starting to scratch the surface.
	But I'm sure you gentlemen understand exactly where I'm sitting, which is, wow, this is going to get really bad.
	That's the reality of our world, that we are dealing with the second revolution.
	And right now, there's no shots being fired, well, I mean, in the traditional sense.
	But, I mean, they did it at President Trump.
	But this is so much deeper.
	And the thing that disheartens me the most is that a lot of the people – Mike, you know.
	I know a lot of public figures, and I've met a lot of people, and they aren't listening to me.
	They're right the whole time.
	I understood how all of this was built, and they're not giving the stage to the people that really – Know what they're doing.
	And unfortunately, if they go down the same path and they don't drain this swamp this time around, I don't think this is recoverable.
	So, again, the unstoppable object is going to hit the immovable object very, very soon.
	What is it? Less than 60 days or something?
	It's like 60 days. It's coming.
	We're going to see how this plays out.
	All we can do is hold on.
	Well, very interesting.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	And even if Trump wins, then there's going to be a massive, probably an armed revolt by the left.
	Yeah. And then we're going to find our cities burning.
	We might see ourselves in a world war.
	You ever think about that?
	Absolutely. These are the countries that are establishment countries.
	What if he tries to get us out of NATO? Just what's coming is so scary, but yet here is the reality of our world.
	Accept the reality and deal with it as it comes.
	That's all we can do. Well, let me just add that at least for the sake of our lawsuit and what we are trying to achieve, Jason, and you know this, I'm just sharing this with the audience and with Todd, is that we are fighting for Freedom of speech for all Americans.
	We're not going to take a single settlement that just is narrow just to us.
	You know, we're not going to get paid off by big tech.
	They can't just buy their way out of this.
	We are going to take this all the way to the point where either we win big and it's a declaration that what the government did colluding with big tech was wrong, or if we lose the case, Then, you know, we lose the case.
	Maybe we appeal. I don't know. We have to see what happens at the time.
	But we are not going to cash out and settle out and forget that this ever happened.
	Because this affects everybody. We are here to fight for free speech for all Americans.
	That's what we stand for.
	And whether that's under, you know, Harris or Trump or anybody else, it doesn't matter.
	We're still going to pursue this all the way through.
	See where it goes. That's why it's an honor to work with you, Mike, is because I know that.
	I know that for a fact.
	We discussed that a long time ago, is how do you want to approach this?
	Are we looking to settle and get out of this thing, or are we looking to fix the problem?
	And there are only a few of us in this nation that really have the cojones to step up and actually do this, and you're one of them to fight this through.
	And actually, I can put it in a different context.
	We either win this and win this big and save free speech to some degree, Or the country's lost.
	In truth, if we lose, it means the Constitution no longer stands because they did what they did.
	It is a violation of your First Amendment.
	It was incredible overreach by the government, and either we beat this or we've just lost.
	We've just lost the civility way to deal with this.
	That's the problem. We are trying to deal with this thing civilly.
	Then all the government needs is just one big emergency to say you're not allowed to speak.
	It could be a pandemic. It could be EMP, solar flare, war with Russia, domestic terrorism.
	How about another staged...
	Yeah, or a monkeypox insurrection.
	That would be the worst if people with monkeypox were staging an insurrection.
	You know, gosh, that sounds really scary.
	How about this? How about Trump actually wins And the current administration comes out and says, that's false information.
	Anybody who says that is going to go to jail.
	I mean, that's basically what she's been talking about.
	They'll probably do that, something like that.
	That's not even a joke. That's legitimately what they might do.
	Yeah, yeah. Kamala wins.
	We don't care what you have to say.
	You're going to jail if you say otherwise.
	I remember when Trump won, I was in Manhattan eating at La Pazanote Pizza Place on 6th Avenue.
	And I saw, I was talking to my wife, I saw zombies going by.
	I mean, I'm talking about wretched...
	You know, and it was just this massive group of leftists going by out of their minds.
	I mean, I was literally fearful.
	So you are right.
	If Trump wins, all of us who support that side, don't take a deep breath and just say, oh, good, it's going to be great next four years.
	No, it's just going to get lit.
	Respect yourself. Right? Yeah.
	No, actually, that's true to your audience right now.
	So protect yourself.
	Be prepared for that.
	Well, they're NPCs.
	We've discussed that before.
	They do not have the ability to critically think.
	And I want to end my part on this.
	I think it sucks that guys like you have to actually come out and publicly declare that you have no...
	Mindset to plan your suicide with two shots to the back of your head.
	You just have to get that out to the public, right?
	Because, I mean, that's about how silly it is, right?
	Oh, yeah. It's how we're doing our duty to this country.
	Yes, I live in fear constantly.
	I'm scared. Legitimately, I'm up against forces that are just overwhelming, but the reality is that What makes that any different than a guy that risks his life behind a rifle at war?
	I've got to risk everything because if we don't, we can't give a good world to our children.
	This is just a different type of battlefield.
	Right. Well, the legal battlefield is so that it doesn't become a revolution or a conflict or kinetic.
	We want it to be through due process and honest courts.
	That's a more civilized way.
	Obviously, that's the way we want this to go.
	But, Todd, I would say for this year's Election Day, probably don't be in zombie Manhattan restaurants in case Trump wins again.
	You don't want to be anywhere near that city.
	No way.
	Uh-uh. You know the irony is I have to be in Pasadena, California for that week.
	They moved my oral arguments against Facebook for the 4th through the 8th in November.
	I'm like, I do not want to be in California, but sure enough, that's where they're going to send me.
	Well, I know where Todd's going to be.
	He's going to be in Florida sitting in his food forest with a zombie flamethrower.
	You got that right.
	I'm coming down afterwards.
	With my raccoons on guard, Mike.
	That's right. And if no zombies show up, no problem.
	You'll have a cookout with fried papaya or whatever.
	And you notice how zombies are really colorful these days?
	They have all different colored hair and stuff.
	Different kinds of zombies than what I remember.
	These aren't the old school zombies. They've upgraded their spectrum.
	You can spot them. You can spot them.
	You can spot the left.
	I'm telling you.
	Well, yeah, we may be living in the last days of the republic.
	Literally. Yeah.
	But if that happens, then I can tell you there will be states that will secede at that point.
	And then we're looking at a whole different playing field of what's going to happen to this country.
	Mad exodus. Maybe we'll see another East and West Berlin situation.
	States will start building walls.
	They won't let you into Texas or Florida.
	They'll just slice it off at the top, you know?
	Let's just squeeze it all together and call it Texas or Rita.
	In California, they already have penalties.
	If you sell your house and move out of the state, you have to pay an extra tax.
	So they might build a wall around the West Coast to prevent people from escaping, like North Korea.
	We're going to have a tax base.
	We're going to have a place in the West California area to East California.
	Maybe the Texas Rangers will run rescue missions, rescuing people from the collapse of Fornia and getting them out to freedom.
	Something like that. It would be so funny if it wasn't so possible.
	I know. Yeah, no kidding.
	All right. Well, Jason, let's talk about your organization here before you go.
	The Social Media Freedom Foundation.
	It's at socialmediafreedom.org is the website.
	Tell us about this and how people can support your efforts there.
	Well, Mike, you know, it's a difficult thing to ask people for help, right?
	I do everything I can.
	I have put my lifeblood into this thing for like six years.
	I went out and, surprisingly, they granted me a 501c3 status because we are trying to protect, you know, your audiences and your and everybody's constitutional rights.
	This is, you know, if you watch this, you know, interview and not grasp that we are legit trying to fight this fight.
	Then you don't know what's going on here.
	This is a real fight.
	Mike's fight, it's a real fight.
	It's in process right now.
	The Social Media Freedom Foundation was set up to do exactly this.
	It is to support our effort to help people like Mike, like these other individuals that were going to be coming out.
	I mean, this case is just monumental, but this keeps me in the fight.
	It helps us get these things done.
	So, you know, If you're going to contribute to worthless causes, half the time these congressional members aren't going to do anything.
	This is a contribution that you can write off.
	It is tax deductible.
	It goes to legitimate legal fights to stop this problem, to protect you.
	We can use your help.
	So, I mean, consider a donation, socialmediafreedom.org.
	Not only that, but lawyers that want to go after social media, I implore you, go to the documents section of our thing.
	Read the Brideon case.
	I've made it available, Mike.
	Your case, Brideon versus the United States, that is actually available under the document.
	And I mean, it's mind-blowing when you read it, like how much the government is involved in censorship.
	Yeah. But the Section 230 fight, that's all in there.
	All of the fights that we're doing in order to prevent social media control and government control of the narrative, we're out there fighting for you.
	So we could use your help, a lot of it.
	I mean, legitimately, like socialmediafreedom.org.
	Yeah, and there's a donate button right there on the page.
	And just reminding you that if you donate, this is a 501c3.
	It is tax-deductible as a donation.
	And I really want to thank you, Jason.
	You have put in years of your time and expertise in order to be the tip of the spear on this fight for freedom.
	This is the First Amendment fight.
	For America. And by the way, I was just reminded of this because, I don't know if you know, but I've been teaching Bible nutrition sermons lately.
	And I've done 40 of them now.
	And it's all about the foods in the Bible and superfoods and everything in the Bible.
	And essential oils, of course.
	I just covered myrrh and frankincense, you know.
	And then I tried to post the very first one on YouTube.
	They banned it immediately citing medical misinformation.
	So you can't even teach a Bible sermon on YouTube now without being banned.
	That's how bad it is.
	Well, they can't tell the difference between a man and a woman anymore.
	So I don't know.
	It's gotten so ludicrous at this point, but it does definitely go to evidence.
	You know, Google is one of the people we're going after, one of the entities we're going after here.
	So it all goes into that folder of, hey, I want to be showing this to a jury someday.
	Yeah, and I'm pretty sure, though, if someone like me but the opposite version, like the evil satanic version, had been teaching Satan's deadly foods, Oh, YouTube would have no problem with that.
	Eat arsenic all y'all want, right?
	And that is a joke.
	Do not do that. That's a twisted joke.
	Unfortunately, you have to do that or they'll shut you down and say, oh, you told them to drink bleach.
	I mean, it's just insanity.
	No, but what I'm saying, if I did a satanic sermon and told people to do horrible things to themselves, YouTube would have no problem with that.
	Not a problem at all. In fact, just as one quick example, there was a site.
	It was sanctioned suicide.
	It was a site dedicated to teaching children how to kill themselves.
	What? And that was supposedly protected under Section 230, which it shouldn't be.
	If we corrected it, it wouldn't.
	But that was literally what the site's design was, and they're struggling to even take it down.
	And I mean, that's as egregious as it gets.
	Wow. You know? I know.
	But if I teach turmeric, black cumin seed, you know, apricot seeds, whatever, oh no, that's all medical misinformation.
	That sounds a lot healthier. Yeah.
	Unbelievable. Okay. Well, Jason, it's been a pleasure to have you on today.
	This discussion really, and it's just the tip of the iceberg here.
	There's a lot more. But let me remind people, socialmediafreedom.org is the website, and I want to thank you, Jason, for joining us today.
	Thank you, Mike. Thank you, Todd.
	Jason, thank you for your service.
	I mean, I know, based upon what Mike has shared, all that you put into this, and I know that you've been leading with your chin on this and we're grateful.
	Indeed we are. We're going for broke.
	Either we win or it's not winnable.
	Okay, I believe that.
	Yeah, I guess. And we will win.
	We'll have to see. Well, with our audience's help, it can certainly push us much closer to that, but it's going to come down to the courts and whether they're going to recognize the First Amendment or not, I suppose.
	But thank you so much, Jason.
	Have a great rest of your day.
	Thank you for having me. All right.
	Thank you. Now, we'll take a quick break, folks, and then we'll be back, Todd and I, with the after-party discussion, as we always have here on Decentralized TV. So stay tuned.

	Alright, welcome back folks.
	Now, this is the after party where Todd and I get to discuss our guests and the topics at hand and usually, you know, we get off track a little bit here as well.
	But Todd, what do you think?
	That's the first time I think that you've...
	Yeah, first time I met him, and I did my research prior, and can I share with you the one question I didn't ask, but I wish I did?
	Oh, yeah, sure. It was, you know, I was thinking about the Bible, and the primary storyline in the Bible is creation, sin, the fall, repentance, redemption, and ultimately restoration, right?
	Right. And when you look at his background, he's personally gone through, Mike.
	He went from successful businessman, to bankruptcy, to conviction, to jail, to release, to Facebook millionaire.
	Bruh! That was going to be my question.
	Unpack that journey for me.
	Amazing backstory.
	Yeah, and now, I mean, working as a free speech champion through the legal system with the potential to really make history for America, for this republic, I mean, it's a big deal.
	Yeah, so he was a go-to for you.
	You obviously knew him before your case, your lawsuit.
	I had interviewed him, I think, once or twice before about Section 230, and that's how I knew that he was the expert on it.
	He's actually studied it more than anybody, any lawmaker, any member of Congress, etc.
	And so then when we started to think about taking legal action, which we knew was going to be very expensive, so it took us a lot of time to build up the funds to be able to dedicate that to this case.
	But then he was one of the first people that I talked to.
	And then we got another legal counsel and some other researchers on the team and so So it's really sort of fleshed out now.
	It's a very, very well-educated team.
	Look, I think on the merits, we win this case.
	There's no question. If it's decided on the merits, we win the case.
	But the question is, you know, all the maneuvering before that, what happens?
	Venue and motions to dismiss and all that.
	That's right. It'd be kind of like the upcoming election, and Jason mentioned this.
	He used this one-liner that he borrowed.
	I don't know where he got it.
	Maybe it was from Trump, but it's really too big to rig.
	And I hope that's your case as well, to where it's just too big.
	An expansive evidence to be able to rig, but you can't put anything past these Druid Babylonian bastards, Mike.
	Well, I have a theory that, you know, the courts are actually really tuned into the trends of the time.
	The social trends, kind of the, what would you say, the overall psychological readiness for changes?
	For example, after the presidential election was rigged in 2020, there was no judge anywhere across America that would hear any evidence of ballot rigging.
	Not in Arizona, not in Virginia, not in Wisconsin, nowhere.
	They all said no. But since then, I think that has changed dramatically.
	Think about all of the election integrity laws that have been put into place in states across the country.
	And now, I think the vast majority of the American people, or at least better than 50%, they believe that there was fraudulent counting or fraudulent ballot stuffing in 2020.
	That's now a commonly understood thing.
	Okay, so you think the courts do this?
	I think there's no question that the courts do that.
	Because, well, I mean, judges are people too.
	Right. Right? Yeah.
	Despite what some might say. But, you know, judges are reading the news, and judges are also living their lives, and they're affected by things.
	And you've got to wonder if there's a judge out there that maybe has a family member who had a business that got censored.
	Sure. Or maybe they themselves have been censored in some way, or someone they know has been censored.
	Like, censorship is no longer a fringe theory.
	It's an everyday thing that's happening in America.
	My only worry with all of that when you talk about judges and lawmakers and stuff is if they, at that level, once they get to that level, if they have already been inducted into the criminally insane sex cult, Mike, because, and I'm dead serious on that,
	because it just seems to me there's no thinking, logical, rational person who would go along with some of the nonsense that has been perpetrated on the Americans over the last Well, I think you're referring to the Southern District of New York in particular.
	And our case has nothing to do with New York, thank God.
	And the Southern District of New York is notoriously insane and corrupt and lawless and whatever.
	Yeah. I would never live in New York.
	No. This case hopefully is decided in Texas, where I think we have really amazing judges in Texas.
	The Fifth Circuit is absolutely astonishingly just amazing.
	They've made so many great decisions on many things, including Second Amendment rights, for example.
	Which is why the people you're suing is trying to get it out of Texas?
	We think that that's the most likely first move is that they will file for change of venue to remove it from Texas.
	That filing has not happened yet, but we anticipate that.
	And of course, our legal team will argue to keep the lawsuit in Texas.
	Didn't they have like 90 days to respond to you?
	Have they responded? Has it been 90 days yet?
	We have responses from legal counsel at many of the organizations that we have sued.
	I mean, communications are taking place and we're anticipating a filing request to change menu.
	And when they're, sorry for asking some detailed questions, but I'm curious, when there were 10 John Doe's mentioned in the lawsuit or whatever, so these are 10 individuals in addition to Corporations, organizations, government agencies, these are 10 individual people that they received that and probably, you know, said, ooh.
	Well, no, just to be clear, for these John Doe's, we don't yet know who they are.
	We will know if we make it to Discovery.
	So the John Doe's are yet to be named.
	Interesting. Okay.
	Okay. That broke my brain, but that's easy to do.
	Well, again, I'm not the attorney, and obviously our attorneys could speak to more detail on it, so let's not focus on the mechanics of the lawsuit.
	But that's my understanding.
	I was just getting all excited that there was some real accountability that might take place at a human level, not hiding behind a corporate veil to where they still get their stock options and Well, we have named Alejandro Mayorkas as one individual in the lawsuit, and we intend to name other individuals to attempt to hold them accountable.
	How did you actually serve him when his address is in hell?
	How did you get down there?
	Sorry. Sorry, Mike.
	You know I had to take it to somewhere sophomoric in this after party.
	Well, it turns out you can't deliver packages to hell through UPS or FedEx, but the United States Postal Service does reach hell.
	They have a truck that goes there and never comes back.
	Oh, goodness. But anyway, Jason Fick was an outstanding guest, and you can tell he is just a man of substance and knows his you-know-what.
	Yeah, that's why he's so great to be able to interview also, and his Social Media Freedom Foundation is absolutely worth supporting as well.
	And look, I mean, he's right.
	Where we got to at the end of this conversation was, are we going to have a constitutional republic remaining?
	Or not. This is the fight for the existence of America as we know it.
	Because without freedom of speech, you don't have a republic.
	You can't have honest elections.
	You can't have honest conversations about pandemics or war, overseas wars, or anything like that if you don't have freedom of speech.
	You have to have the public square so you can debate.
	And I would argue that Most of the things that I have asserted over these years for which I have been censored have been proven to be absolutely correct.
	Of course. Yes.
	Yeah. And that underscores the importance of freedom of speech because freedom of speech means that society needs to accept speech when it's not popular.
	Right. Because that's, I mean, what I was saying years ago was right at the time but very unpopular at the time.
	Oh, yeah. But that's when it needs to be stated.
	I think there was this homeless carpenter that walked this earth a couple thousand years ago, Mike, that he was speaking truth to power, and he wasn't very popular either.
	I think he got censored on YouTube as well.
	I'm glad you bring that up, because I did cover the crucifixion of Christ in some recent sermons.
	I don't know if you heard any of those, but both in the Gospel according to Mark and John, it gives details about that, and it shows that Jesus Christ was murdered because of his speech.
	Right.
	I mean, he had not committed any acts of violence.
	He wasn't accused of being a thief or committing fraud.
	And what's interesting is that the Roman court judge, Pilate was his name, talked to Jesus of Nazareth because, you know, the Jewish religious leaders, the ancient Christians, They brought Jesus before the court, gave him to Pilate, the Roman judge, and Pilate was like, okay, Jesus, they say that you claim to be the king.
	What are you the king of?
	And Jesus said, I'm the king of the domain beyond mankind, right?
	Or basically, right? The domain of heaven.
	And the Roman judge, Pilate is like, Whatever, get out of here.
	You're some harmless guy, some harmless homeless guy wearing sandals.
	Get out of here. Right.
	He was like, Rome didn't see Jesus as a threat at all, but the religious leaders of the time saw him as an extreme threat because he was saying things the church did not like.
	Because Jesus responded that, you know, are you God?
	And I believe he responded, I am.
	And the Jews knew that in the Old Testament, Moses on the hill, he met who self-declared...
	Himself to be I Am, and that's God.
	And so that's what I love about the Old Testament and the New Testament, about how integrated they are if you take a deep dive.
	But that admission of I Am is very powerful, because that's how God named Himself.
	Well, and isn't it interesting? I think after his resurrection, the spirit of Jesus met with Moses.
	That was witnessed by some of the people there.
	So it was like, whoa, bring back Moses and Jesus.
	Let's have a powwow here together, all in the name of the Lord.
	But anyway, the bigger point is...
	That this censorship regime that we're facing now, this is not new.
	This is the same kind of regime that murdered Jesus Christ.
	Yeah. There's I am and there's you ain't.
	And now there's Marxism and communism, not just a corrupt church or the corrupt Rome or what have you.
	Now there's the corrupt Atlanticist regimes, as I call them.
	Yeah, I like that. That are focused on Marxism, communism, controlling your speech.
	And if they're willing to kill Jesus, you think they're not willing to kill us?
	Of course they are. Of course.
	Yeah. I think they're part of a suicide cult myself.
	I really think they just hate all of God's creation, and so they're going to take every bit of them down, even if it takes themselves down.
	They just want to, so there I am.
	There is a level of desperation that is accelerating.
	You know, I just interviewed Colonel Douglas McGregor.
	Right. And I also interviewed Andy Shackman from Miles Franklin, but Colonel McGregor said, and you know he's a highly educated, retired colonel of the United States Army, but his master's degree is in Russian-European relations throughout history.
	So, like, this guy knows his stuff, right?
	He says Ukraine won't last much longer.
	It's falling apart.
	You saw the resignation of all these cabinet members a few days ago.
	They're getting hit by Iskander missiles that take out, you know, 500, 600 soldiers at a time.
	Also, it's rumored that one of those missiles that hit this training center took out the entire executive board members of the company known as SAAB, S-A-A-B, that has like this AWACS airplane division.
	All the executives were killed in one missile strike.
	Like, Boom.
	Gone. Your company's gone.
	Can you imagine having a company retreat and it gets hit by a Russian Iskander missile?
	That's what happened to that company.
	They're gone. Anyway, the point is, Douglas McGregor says Ukraine won't last much longer, so this desperation is going to lead the West into doing insane things.
	Yeah, that's what concerns me leading up to the election, is that exact desperation, you know?
	Yes. What the hell are they going to do, Mike?
	I don't even know if Ukraine can hold it together until election day.
	Perhaps they can. Right.
	No, I'm talking about the United States.
	What are we going to do when they get to that level of desperation?
	Because, you know what, I don't care the fact that Putin just endorsed Kamala because he likes her laugh.
	You know, I don't.
	I jokingly said, yeah, Putin endorsed Kamala.
	He likes her laugh because the laugh sounds different when it's translated into Russian.
	Right. That's the reason the laugh sounds better in Russian.
	My Russian wife cracked up at that.
	I showed her that. Oh, did you?
	Yes. Yes.
	Yeah. She loves you.
	Oh, that's funny, man.
	But Putin's going to outlast...
	You know, obviously the Kamala Biden administration here.
	And Russia probably...
	I mean, honestly, Russian currency will probably outlast the dollar.
	Oh, I think so.
	It's well on its way.
	Yeah. Give it a year.
	Everybody's moving over to BRICS. Did you see that Turkey officially wants to join BRICS? Did you see that India wants to use the BRICS currency for international settlements?
	They are rolling. I mean, literally everybody...
	Wake up, would you? We're trying.
	We're trying to tell you about this melting green cash, but please, please start paying attention to that because there's going to be a day when you're going to wake up and your purchasing power is just going to be...
	Your screen froze there, Todd, right at the best possible moment.
	Yeah. With your facial expression.
	That was good.
	Go on. Okay.
	That was good. Okay, anyway, so the bottom line here is, you know, the future is unknown, but we are in uncharted territory here.
	We're trying to save the republic.
	So, us, our efforts with Jason Fick and our legal team, we're trying to help save the First Amendment.
	And don't forget, the First Amendment covers freedom of religious expression, as well as freedom of speech, but also freedom of the press and the right to peaceably assemble as well.
	All of these things are under constant attack by the government itself.
	That's right. And if Kamala is elected, all four of those things will be wiped out.
	They will come after the churches across America.
	I think that they will attempt to outlaw Christianity, frankly.
	Yep. Yep. They will.
	I mean, look what they did during COVID. They shut them down.
	Yeah. Yeah. Only a few brave pastors.
	Pastors. Pastors.
	Pastors. That's what most of them are these days.
	Well, I mean, the ones that pushed all the lockdowns and vaccines on their congregations, they are pastors.
	I just invented a word.
	You did. Pastored.
	Druid Babylonian pastors.
	It's a very appropriate word.
	But, I mean, in the face of tyranny, so many of the churches just surrendered.
	They bowed down.
	Which is very un-Christ-like, by the way.
	It is. It is.
	I guess most of them are in it for the fancy pants and hollipops.
	For the moolah? For the moolah.
	Speaking of moolah, look at this.
	I think you got something in the mail too.
	They did. They sent me one.
	We interviewed our good friends, Theo and Kira.
	And man, oh man, it's so cool.
	They sent a care package to us both, some sampling.
	I actually put an order in with them.
	So I have bought Moolah and went through the process.
	And everybody, it's painless to do so.
	But it's so cool when you do.
	It's almost therapeutic because you're like...
	Yeah! You know what?
	We're bypassing this whole Druid Babylonian system and able to...
	I can buy Lula coin that ultimately translates that is good for all kinds of beautiful beef that has no vaccines.
	And my care package, I told you, it arrives tomorrow, Mike.
	I cannot wait.
	So, bottom line, Todd, look, you and I have been doing this show over a year.
	We've done, I don't know, 50 interviews or whatever it's been, or coming up on 50.
	We've interviewed some incredible pro-freedom people.
	And the spirit of freedom is very much alive out there.
	It sure is. Most people want to be free, but we're all facing a future, at least those of us in Western nations, a future of outright authoritarianism, tyranny, censorship, lockdowns, staged pandemics, provoked world wars.
	I mean, just the worst. Food inflation, even price controls on groceries if Kamala gets in.
	We're facing Soviet-style hell when we want to be living in freedom.
	Indeed. At least those of us who are playing characters in this, whatever this is, in this realm.
	I still have my suspicion on the non-playing characters, whether or not there's any getting through to them that are programmed by mainstream television.
	I just don't think there's getting through to them.
	So, we are back to, it's a very small margin of people who are going to You know, sway this thing, which is why all of us who, you know, have the ability to critically think, it's why it's important for all of us to be involved and actually make our vote count for those who believe our vote does count.
	Yeah, absolutely. And I have to wonder, maybe there's a vaccine for the NPCs, but instead of an HPV vaccine, it'd be an NPC vaccine.
	Yeah. I'm not going to say I like that one.
	Lord, I'm sorry you know what I'm thinking.
	What are you thinking?
	Now I'm curious. Jesus, you died for that sin too.
	Alright, well, I think the NPCs get the HPVs right now in terms of vaccines.
	Anyway, Actually, the best, quote, vaccine for reality is education.
	To protect your mind from the viral disease of propaganda and lies from the establishment, the best, quote, vaccine is to learn the truth.
	It's to be red-pilled, which is what we are doing here every day with every episode.
	That's right. And the pregame to doing that, Mike, is first, everybody, just turn off your TV. Please, just turn off your TV, anything that is mainstream to it, because all it is is they're casting a spell.
	That's it. True. True.
	Very true. Yeah, I do have to say that when I was doing my research for Jason, I came across his Instagram, which is Jason Fick.
	That's F-Y-K at the end, Jason Fick.
	And there was a post there that fundamentally, Mike, changed my life.
	It was brilliant.
	So everybody, do you want to hear it, Mike?
	Yeah. Yeah.
	So here it is. Everybody concentrate now, okay?
	Be prepared for a life-changing mic drop.
	All right. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left.
	Think that one through.
	It's funny as hell. Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights do make a left.
	If you think about going...
	Left. Oh! You can also go right.
	Like from a top-down view.
	Okay, gosh. Sorry.
	I was thinking too deeply on that one.
	You were thinking too deeply.
	I need you to think like an NPC, Mike.
	Think like an NPC. No, I thought that was funny.
	That was one on his Instagram.
	So everybody go to Jason Fick, FYK, and give him a follow on Instagram.
	It's a good follow. See, now that kind of brain teaser gets even more interesting if you think about mapping it onto polar coordinates on the globe.
	So if you start at the North Pole and you go south for 100 miles, and then you travel east for a few hundred miles or whatever, and then you go north, 100 miles.
	Where do you end up? Back at the North Pole.
	That's three rights make a North.
	That's a South, East, and North takes you right back to the same point where you started.
	Right? Mike, you had to ruin a good thing.
	Cerebral Mike comes and screws up the fun.
	No, I mean, let's think about a sphere now.
	Let's map it onto a sphere.
	We still do have one inflatable moon here in the studio that has survived Rhodey.
	Okay. For the moment.
	For the moment. Maybe we should sacrifice it today, because this inflatable moon was left over from when I interviewed Bart Sabrell.
	Okay. Who talks about all the NASA fakery and all the fake propaganda about the Apollo landings.
	Yeah. Whether you think it's real or fake.
	I don't. There were things that were definitely...
	They were shooting a video from orbit, and I'm talking about the astronauts, they were in orbit around the Earth, but they were trying to claim they were halfway to the moon, and so they put up this cardboard over the window and they cut a hole in the cardboard to be the Earth in the distance.
	And so then they filmed it.
	They're like, look, we're halfway to the moon.
	There's the Earth. And because the camera technology at the time was really not that great, it was a little blurry.
	It was like, yeah, there's like a blue ball.
	But they kept the cameras rolling.
	And after the end of it, they took down the cardboard.
	Like, the Earth is filling the window.
	Like, you can see they're in orbit.
	A funny thing happened on the way to the moon, Mike.
	They were totally faking being halfway to the moon.
	It is.
	Just utter fakery.
	But anyway, we have an inflatable beach ball moon.
	I think we should sacrifice, and I'm all in for a NASA sacrifice.
	We're going to sacrifice the moon today.
	Let's do it. So, number one, guys, do we have the overhead roadie cam functioning today?
	We have a new overhead camera.
	Let's line that up. Keep going.
	There's roadie. Oh, there he is.
	Hey, roadie! Now, I'm going to sneak the moon into this.
	All right, stand by. Here we go.
	What's that? It's the moon!
	Get it! Is it pop?
	Already? He's like, tech with the moon, that's fake, dad.
	Brody, go get it.
	That didn't take long.
	So is it dead? Did he do it?
	Yeah, this is all that's left of it.
	There we go.
	Perfect. Perfect. Well, you want to bring the moon back?
	Come on, bring it over. Moon landing, rest in peace.
	Can I now call him a lunatic?
	Oh, perfect. Perfect.
	Give it to me. Good job, Rhodey.
	Go get your toys. Good job. Go get them.
	Get the other ones.
	See, everyone. The moon landing didn't happen.
	Sorry, NASA. Your ball's inflated.
	He now qualifies as a NASA astronaut.
	Yes, he does. Yeah.
	Astro-not.
	Astro-not? Yeah.
	Did you know he can lick his balls in zero gravity?
	Yeah. Why?
	Because he can't. No, I didn't say that.
	No, that's, see?
	That's a very important astronaut skill.
	If Jason were still on, he'd probably be shaking his head like, oh, boys.
	This is why we asked the guests to disconnect.
	Okay, so let's wrap this up, actually.
	Let's wrap it up, Mike. Now, in order to do this show, it does take, obviously, money for infrastructure and so on.
	So we've got a couple of things to plug here, but there's solutions that can help you in your life.
	They can help you be decentralized.
	So, Todd, you want to go first?
	You've got your new website, my575e.com.
	Yes, my575e.com.
	What I do is I invite people to just go there.
	I have worked with a team to be able to take what used to be a one-hour consultation with me, where I would go through this with people.
	And frankly, Mike, that was an investment of $500 to be able to do that.
	And I just really wanted to get this information out to people.
	So I created my575e.com so people could go there, put in your name and email address, that's all.
	And then you're going to be able to download a training guide, a PDF. It looks like this.
	And it is 18 pages of just pure golden information on how to be able to Keep more of what you earn, protect your private property, and to be able to also shelter yourself From personal liability.
	And there is a 90-minute video there that you will get access to.
	And Mike, I have had so many wonderful conversations since people have become aware of that who have gone forward to acquire their own unincorporated nonprofit association.
	Which has all kinds of benefits, tax-saving benefits.
	And an interesting one is we've stumbled across this.
	I could literally market this entity as a built-in prenup.
	And... I'm serious.
	Yeah. And it came about because this guy, his daughter is getting married.
	And he helped his daughter get into...
	This home, and he's worried that they, you know, what happens if they get divorced after they get married?
	Does that become their joint property?
	And my recommendation was, well, why don't you donate it to a UNA to where then she'll, and have her be secretary, then she will control everything that has to do with the house, but she won't own it.
	The UNA owns it. So then, if there's ever a divorce, and that's what we were talking about, then that would not be part of Anything that would be jointly, I don't know what the words are, joint assets, it would be the UNAs.
	And she controls it, she doesn't own it.
	And I was like, whoa!
	You know, I mean, he was like, that's a prayer answered.
	And so that was one of these halo benefits of having a UNA. But really, for those of you who have any 1099 income or W-2 income, You want to do yourself a favor and just go.
	It's free. Go download the PDF. Watch the video.
	And if you're interested, there are ways to be able to reach me and to either discuss further or, as many have done, They were effectively, you know, trained and educated and they've moved forward to acquiring their own.
	So we have lots and lots of new members at our UNA biz group on Telegram, which is like-minded people who have acquired their UNAs.
	It's a private group and you come in there and it's becoming such an amazing group of people, just smart people, Mike, who are figuring this out together.
	I mean, there are so many positive things that we're still uncovering.
	It's just a very powerful entity, this UNA.
	Very cool.
	I'm glad you have that group. Yeah, you have to acquire a UNA and it's one of the first things that happen after you do is you're invited to the UNA. And I have so many pinned messages in there because it's cool.
	It's this repository of answers to questions that people have had.
	And so instead of...
	Re-answering every one of them.
	The first thing I suggest people do is just binge read and listen to all of the pinned messages and you're going to be caught up to speed.
	And so it's fun in there.
	It's just a lot of fun.
	Well, very cool. Okay, now, so you're helping people keep more of what they earn.
	Yes. And so what I'm going to offer here as the sponsorship from my part is helping you keep assets and prevent the de-dollarization from affecting you.
	And that comes from two things.
	I want to show people two things. They're both covered at rangerdeals.com.
	Which is a website that I've set up that's got different discount codes and different deals.
	One of those here is you can save 10% off these silver bars and gold bars, and I've got these in my hands here.
	I showed these previously.
	These are really cool silver bars Well, they're in the shape of something that you can put in your wallet, but you can break off pieces like this, and then that, I'm sorry, this piece then, you can break it off to be one-tenth of an ounce of silver, or you've got one-twentieth of an ounce here, and also a quarter of an ounce, the larger pieces that you can break off.
	So you can actually make change with this or you can, it's got divisibility.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know how with Bitcoin you have Satoshis and you can point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one Bitcoin.
	Well, we don't have quite that much with these, but this is a very convenient sort of mercantile friendly form of silver.
	Yeah. That can be very useful in barter.
	What I love about it is that you take a golden eagle to a farmer's market after the you-know-what hits the fan, and you buy some milk and some fruit, and it comes to effectively, let's call it $10, and you pull out a golden eagle or a silver eagle, back to that divisibility, Mike.
	You know, you can't kind of just, you know, bite off a piece of that gold eagle and hand it to him.
	We have a solution for divisibility of gold, and those are called goldbacks.
	Right. That's correct.
	So each one of these is one one-thousandth of an ounce of gold physically embedded in the goldback.
	And they have these in fives and tens and larger, even fifties that have fifty one thousandths of an ounce.
	But, you know, we did the lab tests on these and you can find these also at rangerdeals.com.
	If you scroll down, they're right here.
	Lab verified gold backs.
	And there's a link to go there.
	And we did the lab tests on these.
	You know, we melted them down. We measured the gold.
	We took it to our food science lab and we measured the gold purity.
	To determine what other elements are in it, what's the purity is better than 24 karat gold purity, and the recovery of gold averaged between 102% to 105%.
	That's crazy. So that website is also verifiedgoldbacks.com if you want to go there directly.
	So they are over-delivering on value.
	They're over-delivering. Based on your scientific tests.
	Well, and I interviewed the founder, Jeremy, and he said they have to.
	They have to over-deliver on purpose.
	They use a vacuum deposition method to deposit atomic gold onto these laminate sheets that become these goldbacks.
	Right. Which are very durable, by the way.
	But they have to over-deliver because there's a little bit of variability.
	Like, if you're plus or minus 2% on the deposition method, you need to crank up your target to like 104%.
	So that you know you're going to get at least 102, even on the low side.
	You don't want to have a batch that's like 99%.
	Right. Because then people will be like, whoa, you're missing 1%.
	So they over-deliver.
	But the point is, this is very divisible forms of gold.
	And then this is a super divisible form of silver.
	So, you know, look, if the power grid goes down...
	Crypto's not going to work in that scenario.
	If you're in a Mad Max scenario, whatever.
	This is a way to put assets into a format that is relatively divisible, but holds value because it's real gold and real silver.
	And you can find it all at rangerdeals.com.
	So, I love how we're both helping people, you know, protect their assets.
	I agree, Mike.
	I agree. I love that you're doing that.
	That you've creatively, you know, Identified, challenged, divisibility.
	Yeah, yeah. You know, it's because none of us know if dollars are going to be worth anything.
	I mean, they're losing value so fast.
	Yep. And next year, you know, the BRICS nations are coming online dozens more next year.
	Oh, yeah.
	You know, they're going to be using BRICS currency.
	What's going to happen to the dollar? I mean, who's going to want the dollar internationally?
	Like, Nobody except the UK. Nobody or nobody.
	Right. Yeah. I mean, in the US, people will still be using the dollar, but the government won't be able to print without causing way more inflation.
	Right. Because there won't be international buyers of treasuries and dollars.
	The debt market is part of this.
	Yeah, Venezuela, anyone?
	Yeah, right. Venezuela, you know, 2.0 or Amerizuela is coming.
	That's great. Amerizuela, that's perfect.
	Yeah, Amerizuela, like California.
	The second term invented on today's show.
	No, I've used that term before.
	Oh, you have? Oh, perfect.
	I've used that term. I've never heard it before.
	That's awesome. Well, this is what's coming.
	And I just want to thank our viewers for supporting us and sharing these episodes and tuning in because we really do our best to bring you the best guests who've got hard-hitting, practical information that you need to know in order to navigate this collapsing world.
	Yeah. We can make it through.
	I don't want to be all doom and gloom.
	We can make it through, but honestly, it's vehicles like this that are going to help you get through when the banks don't function, When the dollar is collapsing, it's going to be...
	Maybe it'll even be engineered on purpose to create an emergency.
	Exactly. That could happen.
	Right. And, you know, the other thing...
	I mean, as your co-host, Mike, I mean, I'm learning so much.
	I'm learning... Like, remember we recently interviewed Diane Kayser?
	Yeah. During that interview, she was talking about...
	Breast implants and things like that, but I didn't realize that I should be concerned because I recently, you know, within the last two years had a hernia repair operation and mesh is in me.
	They use mesh and that's not good.
	And so after the interview, she and I connected and I know that you're familiar with these things, but I'd never heard of a binder.
	Are you familiar with binders, Mike?
	No, I don't know the context of that.
	It's basically a detox opportunity to where if you have things like plastic in you, like I do with this mesh, that it basically binds on to these floating molecules in your body and then goes through the same detox methodology that you would have if you had like It doesn't make you sick.
	It comes out either by sweat or urine, etc.
	She really coached me through it, invested a lot of time in educating me, so I placed my order for some binders and I'll give everybody a report card on if it makes me feel better or whatever, but I never knew about that, and I'm really, really grateful that this show exists to be able to bring to not only the rest of you all watching, but to me, selfishly, to me, to help me become more healthy as well, Mike.
	Well, that's great. Yeah, keep us posted about that.
	I'm kind of curious now what the composition of these These binders are.
	Sure. I've not really heard that term used that way, but I'm always...
	I'm all about detoxification, but we have to be mindful of, obviously, what works and what's safe and so on.
	That's right. But do you know anybody that's going to get their breast implants removed?
	Because I know of somebody...
	Who had them recently removed, by the way.
	And I inquired about that.
	It's a couple. Of course, it's just the wife that had the implants.
	The husband did not have the implants.
	But I inquired, like, why did you make the decision to have them removed?
	And their answer was the toxicity.
	They learned about how toxic breast implants can be.
	One of them gone. That's smart.
	Good for them. Good for them.
	Absolutely. But as Diane mentioned, there's a lot of permanent damage, like they can cut out some lymph nodes and things when they're doing that procedure.
	It's crazy. Didn't she say that they actually detach or get rid of one of your muscles?
	She said, yeah, that they clipped one of her muscles and you'll never get that back.
	You'll never get that back.
	It's crazy. The reason why I bring it up is that People should know that the interviews that we have, we talked about it before, are timeless.
	You can go back and watch any one of them, and they'll be as relevant today as they were, you know, 14 months ago, nine months ago, last week.
	And that's what's really cool.
	So if you have a specific interest, I mean, just peruse decentralized.tv and learn.
	A lot of opportunities to learn, Mike.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Decentralized.tv is the website, just like you said.
	That's the place to go.
	And next time, Todd, I want us to do something to freak out our audience.
	I want you to take a picture of your background.
	Send us that picture, and we will use that as our background.
	Okay. But we'll mirror it or something.
	Perfect. It'll look like you and I are in the opposite same room.
	Perfect. And then we'll spring that on our viewers next time and see if they notice.
	See if we'll break their brain?
	Yeah. That would be funny.
	That would be so funny. So yeah, just send me...
	No, you know what else I can do?
	You know my new song, the Song of Solomon Bible rap song?
	So you know I used AI to generate all the video for that music video.
	We can take your picture of your background and And we can use the AI animation system to animate your scene.
	Okay. Like to make it move and do weird things, like the bricks could come out and turn into fireballs or whatever.
	People, this is your brain on acid.
	You know what's funny about using AI video generators is you have to imagine it first in your mind because then you have to describe it to the AI. Yeah.
	And if you don't know what you want, it's pointless.
	You're not going to get anywhere. So you actually have to imagine it first.
	Right. Well, you have a rich imagination.
	Well, that's the truth.
	You should see. I've got, for this upcoming video I'm doing, I've got doctors where their masks change into stormtrooper helmets.
	Oh, cool! It's a full-on horror show of medicine that's going to be in the next video.
	But anyway, AI is perfect for that.
	Is that the one that has commonly in it?
	No, that's a different one.
	Okay, well, that different one.
	I can't wait to see what you come up with that AI. Yeah, but AI is perfect for music videos because the stuff it comes up with is so bizarre.
	That's great. Yeah.
	That's great. Well, and it makes it just so much more entertaining now, right?
	I mean, because now you know the gig, you know that somebody who's creative is directing that, and then you get to witness the byproduct of that imagination.
	And then to have you rapping right next to it, it's so great.
	People, if you haven't seen Mike's, I mean, if you haven't seen his music videos, it's a real treat.
	He's very good, by the way.
	Oh, really? Well, thank you.
	I appreciate that compliment.
	I'll tell you what, when I produce the next one, when it's done, we'll put it on the show.
	That's called God is With Us, by the way.
	God is With Us. That'll be great.
	But it's got hospital horror scenes that are pretty bad.
	The hardest part of AI is getting it to produce hands that have the right number of fingers.
	It will always be missing fingers or too many fingers or toes.
	Interesting. Like I did a bunch of sort of ancient Bible scenes for the Song of Solomon and everybody was barefoot or wearing sandals.
	And the AI engine, which I'm convinced might be demonic, kept rendering like seven toes.
	It was out of control.
	It's like, oh man. And then the funny thing is there's a line in Song of Solomon where it says, the king has 60 queens and 80 concubines.
	And I was trying to render a scene of, like, a room full of beautiful women, like a couple hundred women.
	And the AI rendered, like, the two closest women, closest to the camera, were beautiful, but second and third row back, their faces were all mangled and jacked up.
	And I was like, I don't think the king would have these women, you know, like 60, like, demonic face-smashed queens and 80 concubines.
	They were all jacked up with the AI, but it was hilarious.
	I didn't use that scene, obviously, but pretty bizarre.
	Wow. 60 ugly queens and 80 misfigured concubines.
	I don't know. Whatever.
	That's AI for you. Anyway, thank you, Todd, for joining me today.
	It's always a blast. You're welcome.
	Always great to see you, Mike.
	Yeah, you too. And thank all of you for watching today.
	Again, check out all the other episodes at decentralized.tv.
	I'm Mike Adams of brighteon.com.
	Thank you for watching today. Everybody take care.
	Cheers. And there's, oh, finally resting.
	Yay! Go get the moon again.
	All right. Oh, he heard me. Here he is.
	Okay. See ya. See ya, buddy.
