	Alright friends, welcome to Bright Town Broadcast News for Friday, November 8th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me.
	I interviewed Michael Yan and Masako Kanaha earlier today.
	I'll be playing that interview on Sunday.
	I also interviewed Seth Holhouse from Man in America.
	That's the name of his show and his website.
	And I'm going to play that one for you today.
	I think you'll really appreciate that.
	It's timely.
	We cover a lot of the important issues.
	And, well, Seth is a homesteader and a prepper and a guy who's really informed about what's going on in the world.
	So you will want to hear that interview, I believe.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	Oh, and I should mention, that's actually a decentralized TV episode.
	So my co-host Todd Pitner joins me for that interview as well.
	And we always have a lot of fun.
	So it's actually three guys, three white guys on a podcast.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Talking about, you know, interesting stuff.
	So I think you'll find that really enjoyable.
	All right.
	Let me read you a tweet I sent out because this is something I need to announce publicly.
	Here it is.
	Do not nominate me for anything in the Trump administration.
	Because apparently there's a nomination process going on for Maha.
	And I just saw that Dr. Schindler.
	Sherry Tenpenny was being nominated, and I support her nomination.
	She would be great.
	Dr.
	Robert Malone, I think, would be really valuable in this administration.
	A lot of people.
	But folks, do not nominate me for anything.
	Here's why.
	Here's my tweet.
	I'm going to be working with new media initiatives to report on MAGA and MAHA from the outside, to help bring transparency to their achievements, and to ask the hard questions that insiders won't dare raise.
	You see where I'm going with this, right?
	In other words, I'm not afraid to criticize and also not afraid to compliment.
	I want to be fair and independent, okay?
	So, continuing...
	Let's see.
	Some of you are coming to realize there are several strategic reasons why I didn't vote for Trump.
	Mm-hmm.
	Wink.
	Wink.
	I did not vote for Trump.
	I plan to cover the Trump administration honestly, fairly, and also firmly as an independent thinker who specifically did not vote for him.
	You see, so I don't want anybody to say, like, when I'm reporting on Trump's achievements, let's assume he has some.
	I think he will.
	I don't want anybody to say, well, you voted for him!
	Yeah, I voted for him in 2016, I did, and I voted for him in 2020, but I did not vote for him in 2024.
	So, no one can say that my coverage of Trump is, you know, biased by me voting for him in this election.
	As you know, I voted for Dr.
	Shiva, who's very critical of Trump.
	And also, I'm in Texas, so I knew Trump was going to win Texas.
	And so, you know, I voted for Dr.
	Shiva, and that was really a protest vote against the Zionism infiltration of Maha and MAGA. And I've got more to share with you on that later.
	But here it is.
	Let's see.
	Much news is yet to come between now and January 20th.
	When Trump achieves important things, I will celebrate them.
	When he slips up, I'll call him out.
	And it's not just me.
	There's an entire new media movement forming up right now that sees this the same way.
	The old media is dead.
	New media blazes the trail from here forward, and all of us, together, decentralized and brutally honest, and also rooted in principles of liberty, integrity, and transparency.
	And we're not sponsored by Pfizer.
	By the way, that's how we take power away from the corrupt corporate media and put it back into the hands of the thinking people.
	Thank you for all your support that brought us to this point.
	So there you have it.
	As you know, My company owns the website trump.news.
	You're going to see a whole new look for trump.news.
	And in 2025, we'll roll out a brand new trump.news, and we will have a lot of coverage right there, good and bad.
	We openly accept statements from Trump's people and Maha people and MAGA people.
	And we're going to call them out if they screw up.
	Because it's normal.
	It's normal.
	It's okay.
	You're not going to get every win that you try for.
	And one of the things happening right now is that there's a huge debate over the people that are being selected to fill the administration positions.
	Of course, there's thousands of people.
	And right now, everybody's freaking out over the idea of Mike Pompeo, perhaps, joining Trump.
	Now, Pompeo is a disaster.
	Pompeo needs to be put on the do not hire list.
	And a lot of other people as well, but Pompeo should be at the top of that list, just like John McCain.
	Fortunately for us, John McCain is no longer living, so he can't screw up America any more than he already did.
	But if he were living, he should be on the do not hire list.
	I suppose since he's dead, we should put him on the do not resurrect list.
	That's a special list just for John McCain.
	Do not...
	It's not like do not resuscitate.
	You've heard that DNR. This is do not resurrect.
	Just in case angels come down and like, should we just bring everybody back?
	No!
	Not McCain!
	For God's sake!
	Keep the demons deep in the dirt!
	Please!
	Now, there's something else on good news from Trump, something really cool, is that Trump in 2023, apparently, posted a video that laid out 10 promises, 10 things that he would do if elected president.
	And this video has been newly making the rounds.
	This video is amazing!
	I don't remember Trump saying this stuff, but it's clearly him saying it, and now it's been confirmed that it's him saying it in 2023.
	I can't believe this wasn't bigger news before now, because it's absolutely amazing.
	Let me read for you the 10 things that Trump promises to do.
	I mean, I could play the video for you, but I've already written up a list, so I'll just read the list.
	It's faster.
	But here's what Trump promises to do.
	All ten of these are absolutely amazing.
	Number one, he's going to reissue the 2020 executive order that restores presidential authority to remove rogue bureaucrats and that he would use it aggressively.
	So, you know, buh-bye, buh-bye.
	And actually, there was J.D. Vance was talking about this recently, that you've got to go in there and you've got to fire like 95% of the people, you know, in certain departments.
	And that's a pretty good number, 95%.
	Just get rid of 19 out of 20 bureaucrats in every agency.
	Just cut them down to 5%, you know?
	I think that's a great idea.
	Alright, number two, clean out all the corrupt actors in national security and intelligence.
	And Trump says that all federal departments and agencies that have been weaponized against the American people will be completely overhauled in order to halt the targeting and persecution of American citizens.
	Can I get a hell yeah on that?
	Because it's exactly what the government has become.
	A weapon against the American people.
	Alright, he also says, point number three, aggressively reform the FISA courts.
	That's the spying court system, the secret court system that spies on you and violates your Fourth Amendment.
	Yeah, completely unconstitutional, totally illegal.
	He says they're deeply corrupt and they're being used to spy on Americans and on political opponents, too.
	Number four, expose the hoaxes and abuses of power by establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
	Oh, yeah.
	Starting to get a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart.
	Establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and to declassify and publish all the documents on deep state spying, censorship, and corruption.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Man.
	This is tasting better than a delicious banana smoothie.
	Yeah, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, that's exactly what we need.
	I've mentioned something like that in a special report I have coming up for you.
	But also, Kosh Patel is out there doing interviews talking about there's going to be massive document dumps, massive declassification and publishing of documents.
	Oh, man.
	My attorneys are standing by, ready, ready to add new evidence to our lawsuits against big tech.
	Let me tell you.
	They are standing by, and they have to wipe the drool off their...
	Oh, can't wait for the D-class to come.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	Number four...
	Oh, that was four.
	Number five...
	Crack down on government leakers who collude with the fake news media to weave false narratives and subvert our democracy.
	And he says, Trump says, criminal charges are coming.
	Oh yeah.
	We need to have a party with Ivan Raiklin.
	Actually, I tweeted out, I said to Alex Jones, I said, hey, can the new InfoWars, when Trump starts making the mass arrests, can we have like a mass arrest bingo party at the InfoWars offices?
	I'll bring the bingo sheets with the faces of all the people who are the likely arrest targets, and we can all play bingo as they're arrested.
	How about that?
	Let's have a mass arrest bingo party at InfoWars and invite Ivan Raiklin to join us as well.
	I think he'd probably win the bingo because he knows all the people.
	He'd probably be playing like 10 bingo sheets at once, like you see elderly people doing in the nursing homes.
	Ivan would be like, I'm playing 10.
	I know them all.
	I already called them all out.
	I win.
	All right, continuing.
	Shout out to Ivan.
	Good guy doing good work.
	Okay, number six.
	Every inspector general's office would be made independent and physically separated from the offices they oversee.
	Yeah, so, you know, inspector generals are supposed to be keeping those departments honest instead of covering up their crimes.
	Okay, number seven.
	Trump says he will establish an independent auditing system to monitor all the intelligence agencies to make sure they aren't spying on Americans or running disinformation operations against the American people.
	In other words, we need an agency to spy on the spying agency.
	So we need an ICU-CIA agency, not just the CIA. We need an ICU-CIA agency.
	And I think we also need a FAFO agency, which is the F around and find out.
	And that agency, we might need to form that one first.
	The FAFO, they should conduct a mass arrest.
	Actually, knock on the door.
	Who are you?
	We're from FAFO. Yeah, what's FAFO? Well, you'll find out.
	Okay, moving on.
	Trump says he's going to move over 100,000 federal employees from In the federal agency, he's going to move them out of D.C., out of the swamp, and he's going to relocate those offices to other states across America, and he's going to do it on day one.
	I love that idea.
	Get them out of the swamp, man.
	Send them out to the real country, where people really live.
	Instead of this artificial bubble in the D.C. area.
	Number nine, he says he's going to ban the revolving door practices that allow government employees who work for regulators to later accept jobs from the very corporations they were regulating.
	And he specifically calls out Big Pharma.
	And how come I didn't know he said that before?
	I think I should have heard of that before.
	Somehow, somehow I missed that.
	But I'm glad it came back around.
	So yeah, you know, the head of the FDA always goes to work for Big Pharma.
	And top people in the EPA, they go work for, you know, Bayer, the pesticide manufacturers.
	It's the same deal, USDA. All of them.
	There's just a revolving door.
	That's got to end.
	If you work as a government regulator, there should be a lifetime ban.
	You can never work in the industry that you regulated.
	Not for your whole life.
	And if you do, you should be criminally prosecuted.
	You know how many problems that would solve?
	That right there would be absolutely huge.
	And then number 10.
	Trump says he's going to push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on Congress, which would help shatter the deep state, and it would make sure that Congress represents the people.
	And yes, this needs to be done.
	There need to be term limits on members of the House and the Senate.
	I mean, after all, there are term limits on the presidency.
	Why is it that someone like Nancy Pelosi can serve decades in Congress?
	Or, you know, how many senators have you known over the years that just served decades as a senator?
	I mean, Joe Biden, he was a senator for so many years.
	Did he actually do anything in his entire life that was real?
	Other than just live as a parasite, blood-sucking off the American people, pretending to be their champion and savior?
	No, Joe Biden never did anything in reality.
	Lived his whole life as a parasite.
	We've got to stop the parasites, man.
	And that means a constitutional amendment.
	Strict term limits.
	You serve one term in the House or the Senate.
	You serve one term, you're done.
	You go back home, you go back to your job, back to your community, you're done.
	You know why that's important?
	Because they don't have to worry about re-election.
	They get elected and And they go in there, and no one can, like, they don't have to spend all their time fundraising, for one thing, and they can just focus on what they're there to do.
	Term limits are exactly what we need.
	But you might, I don't know, you might have to extend congressional terms to four years to give them time to get something done.
	But, you know, senators, six years, that might be too long.
	But anyway, that debate needs to happen.
	So these 10 things, these are really good things.
	If Trump could do even 5 of those 10, it would just change history.
	It would be amazing.
	And so I would love to report on Trump achieving some of these things, or maybe all of them, and I would gladly report on that as an independent journalist.
	If he fails to do these things, and if he brings in a bunch of swamp creatures like, hey, introducing...
	The new State Department head, Mike Pompeo.
	I'll be puking all over the screen.
	Everybody will.
	Because Trump needs to be called out by people who care about America and who are not part of his administration.
	So I don't want anybody in any administration to have leverage over me, to be writing me a paycheck, to be able to threaten me.
	To silence me.
	To arm twist me.
	No thank you.
	Not interested.
	I'm here to represent the people.
	The voice of the people.
	Solely the voice of the people.
	And no other interests.
	And you know what?
	The people are ready for someone like Trump to come in and just start wrecking the place like a bull in a China shop.
	Just start gutting the departments.
	Just cut them loose.
	Prune the agencies down to 5% of what they used to be.
	Everybody's ready for that.
	So there's not going to be criticisms about that.
	That would be victory after victory after victory.
	The criticism would be if they don't do something like that.
	If they come in and just tweak it around the edges, you know.
	Oh, we're not really going to cut the FDA's budget.
	We're just going to...
	We're just going to halt the growth of the budget and call it a cut.
	No, thank you.
	We've heard that forever.
	That's not going to fly.
	You're going to get called out for that.
	No.
	You need to slash the budgets.
	Cut them.
	Cut them nominally.
	Start taking zeros off the ends of those budgets.
	Cut them by orders of magnitude.
	You know, cut them down to, well, you could start by 10% of your current budget is what you get from now on.
	There's a 90% cut.
	You could go one more order and say, yeah, 99% cut.
	How about that?
	What can you do with 1% of the money you used to have?
	See if you can make that work.
	Because, oh, well, you know, America had to try to make it work when you, the government tyrants, shut down everybody's small businesses during COVID. When you took away people's livelihoods, when you looted their pocketbooks by stealing their money, by printing currency in Washington, D.C., well, the American people had to make do with less.
	Now it's your turn.
	Fafo.
	You faffed, and now you foe.
	Your turn to get cut.
	You go find a job.
	You go do something useful.
	Send them packing.
	Evacuate D.C., you know, half of Virginia with it.
	Send them all packing.
	They do nothing useful for this world, nothing useful in their whole lives.
	Parasites on humanity.
	Blood-sucking garbage.
	They need to be shown the exit.
	Boot them out of there and never let them come back in.
	So I've got two special reports for you today.
	And I think we ought to get to, well, at least the first one here.
	And let me read you another tweet I sent out that kind of introduces you to this.
	I'm going to read a few for you.
	First one, folks, the current Democrat stance of, we will honor a peaceful transition because we believe in democracy, is pure bullsnot.
	They are faking and biding their time while they plot a far more nefarious, violent, and rogue coup attempt to destroy Trump and America as a whole.
	The very last thing Democrats will ever embrace is any transition of power that takes away power from them.
	They will fight against it in every way possible, including invoking violence and criminality.
	Don't be fooled.
	Stay frosty.
	You won't have long to wait because they can't contain their inner demons for more than a few days or weeks.
	Exactly.
	Next tweet.
	I don't see any leftists apologizing for all the abuses of power they inflicted upon conservatives and Trump supporters.
	Do you?
	No apologies for the lawfare, censorship, election rigging, selective regulatory enforcement, FBI raids, media smears, financial deplatforming, corporate world blacklisting, etc.
	Yet now they expect us to extend a fig leaf and just forget all that?
	Go pound sand and get used to it because that might be your prison job real soon.
	Okay, and then the next one, this is the last one I'll read for you.
	Because there's this thing happening online where some conservatives are saying, we should all just come together now and we should just be so happy and peaceful and just forgive all their sins and be Christ-like.
	So my response is, for those clueless conservatives saying we shouldn't condemn anyone who waged war against us, do you realize that it's your attitude of spinelessness and acquiescence that brought us to the brink of losing our republic in the first place?
	You can either have a free country or you can be polite to everybody as your nation is overrun and destroyed.
	You can't have both.
	Grow a bleeping spine or get out of the way.
	Real Americans have arrived to take this country back from the weak-minded, wishy-washy nobodies whose entire lives have been lived as NPC cucks.
	You know what NPC cucks are?
	So NPC means non-player character.
	It means a soulless biological robot that has no free will and no mind.
	That's NPC. And a cuck, at least as I understand it in the current culture, is a weak-minded soy boy man who just wants to appease his woman all the time.
	Just wants to be subservient to the desires of women.
	And he will meekly follow his woman as they walk In a restaurant or a grocery store.
	Yes, what shall I do, master?
	He's got no manliness about him.
	He's not a man.
	He's just a cuck.
	There's a bunch of political cucks out there.
	And by the way, I admire strong women.
	Let me be clear about that.
	I admire strong women and strong men.
	I don't think either sex should be weak or even dominant over the other.
	I admire strong-minded, strong-spoken women who get things done, who aren't afraid to speak the truth.
	And I also think that men should be men at the same time.
	It's men that defend borders, you know?
	It's men that fight against the invaders of their communities.
	Men should be men.
	It's time for real men to stand up.
	And it's time to call out the cucks.
	Because America wasn't frowned on the backs of Tim Tampon Sawyer and Cuckleberry Finn.
	It was...
	That's a reference to Mark Twain, of course.
	But it was founded on real men and then real women who also stood up for human rights.
	So let's all do that right now.
	Let's all men and women stand for liberty.
	But let's also recognize that there are only men and women.
	There's not 57 genders.
	There's not imaginary fairy genders.
	And you can't change your gender just by wishing it.
	And I can't wait for the pronoun madness to finally disappear.
	And in my interview coming up with Seth Holhouse, we were talking about the great shattering of the mental delusions that is taking place right now.
	All these artificial worlds that left us created in their minds, like men can become women and men need tampons, don't they, Tim?
	And all this kind of nonsense.
	It's all breaking down.
	It's shattering in front of their eyes and they're losing their minds.
	Some of them are sobbing.
	And then some of them are getting all mad.
	Trump!
	I'm not going to play these videos for you because they're just kind of pathetic.
	You may have seen some of them, but they're either like sobbing sad or crazy mad.
	Or then there's one woman...
	Maybe I should play this one for you because this is like a psychopathic white woman who just calmly explains how she's going to walk around the streets at night and just literally shoot all white men.
	But she says it with a sense of determination and calm that is absolutely chilling.
	Like, I can laugh at the screamers.
	I'm just kind of laughing at that.
	But when this white woman's just like And if there's a white man that's coming within a distance of me, I'm just going to pull the trigger.
	That gives me chills.
	That's like pure demonic evil right there.
	That's freaky stuff.
	If I can find that, I'll play it for you.
	Well, I can't find that video, but I remember her saying that the whiter your skin...
	The more likely she is to shoot you.
	Yeah, those kind of psychos are out there, so be cautious.
	All right, anyway, we're going to go to one of my special reports shortly, but I want to play this video for you first.
	This is just a short video of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who said he's not going to resign if Trump asks him to resign.
	He said no.
	And it proves that the Federal Reserve is not federal.
	It's actually a criminal cabal of globalist banksters.
	And that the Federal Reserve believes it is above the law.
	And, you know, effectively it is.
	The Federal Reserve does not answer to the federal government at all, which means it's completely unelected.
	So why do we give them control over the currency?
	It's time to end the Fed.
	And the Fed.
	And the Federal Reserve.
	And I'm actually starting to believe that President Trump, with the help of Elon Musk and others, I mean, don't say this too loudly right now, I think they're going to reset the currency.
	I think the dollar is going to be sort of architected out and replaced with something much better.
	Much more honest and decentralized, and that could unleash a new golden age for America.
	Yes, yes.
	So frankly, we don't have to have an uncontrolled collapse of the dollar.
	I've warned about that for years because that's where it was headed, but sharp guys like Elon and Peter Thiel, you could say...
	And Donald Trump, but if he were to get some advisors to come in who know what they're talking about, you know?
	I mean, like, get Martin Armstrong in on this.
	And others, you know, a lot of people that I've interviewed, there's a way to sort of swap out the dollar with something better and more honest without screwing everybody, and yet canceling out a lot of the debt, at least over a few years.
	And unleashing a new golden age in America because of an honest currency.
	But the Fed will never agree to do that because the Fed wants monopoly power over the power to print money.
	That is the most powerful force in the world, is the power to print money.
	I mean, other than spiritual realms like God.
	But I mean, in terms of geopolitics...
	And weapons and just raw power, propaganda power, all of it, the power to print money, it's the greatest earthly power that there is.
	So the Fed doesn't want to give that up.
	But as long as they have that power, they will screw us and screw us and screw us.
	They will keep printing and giving it to themselves and each other while they're looting from us.
	So listen to Jerome Powell just admit that he's above the law, doesn't have to answer to the president at all.
	Check this out.
	Some of the president-elect's advisors have suggested that you should resign.
	If he asked you to leave, would you go?
	No.
	Can you follow up on, do you think that legally you're not required to leave?
	No.
	So, there you go.
	Not even a question.
	There's no hesitation.
	He's like, no.
	If the president asks me to leave, nope.
	I just say no, because I'm the head of the Federal Reserve and we do whatever the hell we want.
	We're above the law.
	We're above the Constitution.
	Yeah, so, again, why do they have the power to print money?
	You've got to go back to the Rothschilds.
	You've got to go back to the creature of Jekyll Island.
	You've got to go back to 1913.
	And you realize, by the way, that it's globalist Zionists who ran that whole thing.
	Zionist controls.
	Yep.
	Zionists have been in charge of the Federal Reserve since the 1980s.
	Every single one of them, including Jerome Powell, is a Zionist.
	They control it.
	And as a result, they control the world, at least the Western world.
	But even that's coming to an end, so maybe, maybe we'll see something different.
	Hopefully not just a total collapse of the Western system, but that's possible if they don't engineer some kind of a radical reform first.
	But are radical government reforms possible?
	Well, here's a video from James O'Keefe of O'Keefe Media Group, OMG. Remember, he's the founder of Project Veritas, but they split, and now he's O'Keefe Media Group.
	James O'Keefe has been fighting against government corruption for 20 years.
	I've known him for most of those 20 years, or a good portion of those 20 years, and I've known him as a warrior, a fighter, fearless, a fearless fighter.
	Just really an extraordinary individual.
	But listen to what he says, because I think for the first time he has hope that there might be a possibility of positive reforms within the government, which means he may be more optimistic than I am, but let's see what he has to say.
	I just got the phone call with someone who's thanking me, and I've got a lot of messages from people thanking my colleagues, thanking OMG, thanking for what we have endured, maybe what we will endure.
	And I've got to be honest with you.
	I've got to be real with you.
	It's been two decades of just nonstop fighting the government, fighting the media, just fighting, fighting, fighting.
	I mean, fighting the Maricopa County people just a couple of days ago, and that guy took his thing down.
	It's always a fight.
	And yet a strange sensation has come over me over the last two days and a strange era where perhaps reforms in the government are possible.
	And it's a very beautiful feeling.
	I have been fighting these people most of my life.
	And maybe there's an opportunity to actually change government for the better.
	Along the way, I've had people really hurt me.
	And the enemy oftentimes was not the enemy.
	It was the enemy within, within the people around me and within even sometimes myself.
	And there have been moments when I said, I don't know if I can do this anymore.
	There have been some really trying moments where the only thing that gets you through the day is to wake up the next day and get a good night's rest.
	Take it an hour at a time.
	But I really appreciate the gratitude that people, the messages, there's so many that you have sent me in the DMs, in the emails, on the texts.
	That means a lot to me.
	It means a lot.
	It's also kind of bittersweet because I think back to those moments where I didn't know if I was going to make it through and that somehow we survived.
	Somehow we did it.
	So I just wanted to say I see all the messages.
	It means a lot to me.
	It is a strange feeling.
	It is a very strange feeling to defeat them, the media I'm talking about, for them to be irrelevant and for them to admit it.
	And I think I'm going to take a few days off.
	Yeah, I hear you, James.
	I have felt...
	Very often, exactly the same way.
	Very often.
	But, well, I'm not taking a few days off, but all of us deserve it, that's for sure.
	But then again, I'm not out on the streets doing what James O'Keefe does.
	I mean, he is out there in the thick of it, and that is dangerous and exhausting work.
	What I do from my studio is incredibly easy compared to what James O'Keefe does.
	You know, just being honest about it.
	My work is easy compared to his work.
	And that's why I honor his work and what he's doing.
	And, you know, Ann VanderSteele on the border, Michael Yon traveling.
	I interviewed him today.
	He said he's in Argentina right now.
	That's the 99th country that he has visited.
	And I don't mean just like went through the airport.
	I mean actually stuck around, stayed there for days, weeks, sometimes months.
	99 countries.
	The guy has seen the world.
	And so I asked him, if he were to visit America for the first time right now, knowing what he knows about the world and being able to interpret the signs of what you see, what would you think about America today?
	And well, you'll get to hear his answer when I play that interview on Sunday, but there's a lot of warning signs about where things are headed in this country and what's about to happen next, that's for sure.
	So it's with a sense of cautious optimism, I think, that we all face the future.
	There is an opportunity for some Some real healing and an opportunity to radically reform this nation.
	But, but, as I say in this next report, there can be no healing without repentance.
	And I ask, when will leftists apologize for their tyranny targeting conservatives?
	Because so far, I haven't seen anybody on the left apologize for what they did to us.
	For the last 10 plus years, the things they did to us are outright wicked, immoral, inhuman in some cases, and illegal, certainly unconstitutional, through all the censorship and targeting and weaponization and all the attempts to shut us down and the lawfare.
	Look what they did to Alex Jones.
	The infiltration of organizations, that's what James O'Keefe was talking about.
	The laundering of censorship demands by the government through overseas NGOs and this group called CCDH and then laundered back into big tech to silence and de-platform people like myself.
	I've been censored for 10 years now.
	A decade.
	A decade that I should have been on YouTube and Facebook and all those other places which would have been massive organic audiences by now.
	They stole a decade from me because they didn't like my ideas.
	So when will there be the apologies from the left?
	When will there be repentance?
	Until there is repentance, there can be no healing, there can be no forgiveness, and there can be no mercy.
	Arrest them all.
	Prosecute them all.
	Do not hold back.
	That's my message.
	For they are all complicit.
	In these attacks on our nation and attacks on humanity, attacks on liberty and freedom, and attacks on our democracy.
	And yet they projected all of that onto Trump.
	They said Trump is a danger to our democracy, while they themselves, they've been rigging elections for decades.
	And according to the current math, they fabricate about 20 million fake votes in every election.
	I'm talking about every presidential election.
	20 million fake votes for Democrats, and in 2020, it was maybe close to 40 million fake votes for Biden.
	40 million fake votes.
	Every election, they fabricate about 20 million fake votes, which means that we haven't had an honest election in most of our lifetimes.
	This country is not a reflection of what the people voted for.
	We've been living under an artificial, tyrannical, criminal cabal.
	Yeah, that's the realization that we're all coming to right now.
	So we'll go to this report.
	Support us and support our sponsors, the Satellite Phone Store, SAT123.com, Backup Communications, Bivvy Sticks that are two-way satellite texting devices.
	You can send and receive texts from any mobile phone on the planet.
	And all you're using is a little satellite device that works anywhere that you can see the sky, including oceans and deserts, you know, anywhere on the planet, jungles, everywhere.
	When the cell towers go down, you're going to need backup comms.
	Sat123.com is where you can find all that.
	Okay, with that said, here's the first special report.
	There can be no healing without repentance.
	Well, I talked to several people today, including interviewing Michael Yan, and nobody that I talked to is buying into this left-wing, you know, kumbaya, everybody, let's hug each other, and let's just all get along now.
	This is one giant love fest.
	Nobody's buying it.
	And you know why?
	Because the history of what the Democrats have done to Trump, what they've done to America, what they've done to Trump supporters, How they have weaponized the government, the corporations, the universities.
	They've weaponized it against Christians, against white people.
	How they've engaged in mass censorship and vaccine coercion.
	How they've harmed children in schools with lockdowns and masks.
	And on and on.
	The fraud, the corruption, the lies, the false inflation numbers.
	It just goes on and on.
	The building of the bioweapons, the unleashing of the bioweapons onto the American people, and the rigged elections that are still being rigged right now, and the fact that so many of these leftists They wanted Trump to die.
	They were celebrating Trump being shot and they were praying that he would be killed.
	And that's the way they feel about you and I as well.
	These leftists, they want good Americans to die.
	Because they hate America.
	Because they are demons.
	Let's just be honest.
	The Democrats are demons.
	And they hate life.
	That's why they want to murder and mutilate their own children.
	They hate America.
	They hate Trump.
	They hate Christians.
	They hate humanity.
	And now to suddenly think like, oh no, let's all get along.
	Are you kidding me?
	Now, suddenly you want to get along because you got defeated in an election?
	No.
	Folks, I'm telling you, it's an act on their part.
	It's an act.
	They're planning something big.
	I don't know what it is exactly, but somehow the order went out to Kamala and the other Democrats to push this let's all get along narrative for right now.
	And it's a temporary narrative.
	It's just an act.
	It's just a strategy.
	They are actually engaged in a war against us, a war against America.
	And anytime they play nice, it's just because they want you to let your guard down.
	And my co-host for Decentralized TV, my co-host Todd Pitner, said something very profound today.
	He said that, you know, there can be no healing without repentance.
	And I'm not seeing anybody on the left apologize for any of the shenanigans and the lawlessness that they pulled over these last, let's call it, eight years.
	Are you?
	Are you seeing them apologize for the lawfare against Trump?
	No, I haven't seen that at all.
	Are you seeing them apologize for the discrimination against white people with the DEI and the woke policies?
	No.
	Are they apologizing for all the censorship that they carried out, especially during COVID and naming the dirty dozen?
	Are they apologizing for any of that?
	No.
	Is the left-wing media apologizing for being wrong about COVID, about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines?
	No.
	I haven't seen one apology.
	There can be no healing without repentance, and they will not repent because they don't think they've done anything wrong.
	They still think that they are in their right.
	They're just playing like they want to get along now in order to motivate you to let your guard down.
	That's all this is.
	Now, in terms of what they have coming, Well, it's got to be something really, really big, or they wouldn't be ordering their people to pull back right now and play nice.
	So they need conservative America to let down your guard, to make you more vulnerable to whatever is coming, because it's so big that it's going to impact everybody.
	So they need everybody to have their guard let down.
	So think about what this means.
	It's something so big that it impacts everybody across America.
	Well, that means it's got to be something more than just some local bomb or false flag or something like that.
	It's got to be something nationwide that they're planning.
	Well, what would that be?
	What would a nationwide attack on America really look like?
	Well, it could be...
	A false flag, a cyber attack on the power grid or a cyber attack on the financial institutions, an EMP attack or something.
	But in order for the Democrats to get what they want, which is to prevent Trump from taking office, remember, that's got to be their number one goal at this moment.
	To prevent Trump from taking office.
	Whatever they're planning has to be big enough to cause enough chaos that the very functioning of government to be able to even achieve a transition would have to be so severely sabotaged that inauguration would have to be cancelled, in other words.
	So something so big that it cancels the inauguration.
	Well, what would that be?
	And I think, you know, the only answer really is there would have to be some kind of war.
	Some kind of war so huge.
	Some kind of emergency so big that it is existential.
	It's an existential threat to the entire nation.
	To where, number one, they would probably make Kamala president.
	So they kick Joe Biden out, you know, 25th Amendment, whatever it takes.
	They make Kamala president.
	Then they launch this emergency, whatever it is.
	And then they have Kamala declare, you know, national emergency, martial law, whatever is necessary.
	And suspending the Constitution and suspending the transition immediately.
	Whatever's required.
	They would have to take us out of a constitutional jurisdiction and put us under a military jurisdiction.
	So what kind of attack would allow them to do that?
	Think about this with me.
	What kind of attack?
	Because it's something they're planning.
	Very clearly they're planning it.
	Now, I've said before that another option would be that they wait for Trump to take power.
	And then they do a rug pull in order to cause financial chaos, financial collapse, you know, activating all of the enemy combatants in the country, carrying out sabotage operations, etc., to try to really crush the nation under Trump and force him to declare martial law.
	And that's the other possibility that I see.
	But if they do that, then he's in power at that time.
	And I don't think they want him to get in power.
	And I do not think that the Democrats will voluntarily give up power.
	I don't think they will voluntarily transfer power to Trump.
	In other words, they will stop it one way or another.
	They will never, they will never give up their power because they know most of them are going to prison.
	They're going to be prosecuted because America is fed up with their criminality.
	And there's so much popular pressure now on Trump and on his team and on the people around him, his advisors, etc.
	And you can probably hear it in my voice, too.
	The American people support Trump carrying out mass arrests of the traitors, the treasonous actors.
	People like Alejandro Mayorkas should be, in my opinion, arrested and prosecuted for treason against this country.
	For running the invasion camps, funding them, enabling them, planning and plotting them.
	If you get disclosure over Mayorkas' notes and emails and private texts, the guy's guilty of treason.
	I'm certain of it.
	That's all gonna come out.
	Once Trump takes power, these people like Mayorkas and others Think about, you know, Sullivan and Newland and others.
	These people will have to flee the country.
	They would much rather find a way to stop Trump from being sworn in.
	So that's the first threat that we all face right now, is that whatever they're doing is designed to stop Trump from being sworn in.
	Now, are there legal maneuvers where they can attempt to achieve that?
	Yes, they can try something on January 6th, like Well, let's call it an insurrection, because that's what they called it.
	But this time, you know, Congressman Ratskin and others have said they're just not going to allow Trump to be certified as the president.
	They're just going to say, well, you're just not allowed because of the 14th Amendment, which is absurd, but they'll try it.
	They'll try that on January 6th.
	And if they fail, then they still have 14 days before the swearing in.
	So that time segment right there between January 6th and January 20th, doesn't that seem to you like that is their last desperate attempt?
	Like if they can cause something so big, so catastrophic, if they can even, if they can crater the federal government themselves or cause a financial collapse or cause a crisis so big in those 14 days...
	That they will do that.
	They will take that opportunity.
	Because these people would rather destroy America than for themselves who face prison.
	Believe me, they would rather destroy the whole country.
	They would rather tear it down than see Trump run it.
	Have no illusions.
	These are not nice people, these Democrats.
	These are not nice people.
	And even the everyday people that put Kamala Harris signs in their yard, these people are mentally ill.
	And they are filled with rage.
	They're filled with hatred towards America, towards men, towards Trump.
	They hate this nation.
	They're triggered by the flag.
	They hate the American flag.
	They hate the Constitution.
	These people would put you and I into a death camp without a second thought.
	Gladly, they would have put us in death camps.
	And they would have exterminated every last one of us without hesitation.
	That's who Democrats are.
	That's the level of the brainwashing that they have been subjected to.
	And some people say, well, that's why they're victims.
	They're victims of brainwashing.
	And I say, they're adults.
	They're responsible for their own decisions.
	You can't tell me that they're all just victims that have no responsibility for their own state of mind.
	They have a responsibility.
	They could have seen through the propaganda and the fakery just like you and I have seen through it.
	Do we not hold adults accountable for their own minds now?
	I mean, come on.
	They're responsible.
	They're not victims.
	They're active participants in what was planned to be a Marxist takeover, a coup against America to destroy and overthrow this country.
	And they very nearly achieved it.
	They were one state away, Pennsylvania.
	They were one state away.
	Well, I guess, given where Trump ended up with the electoral votes, maybe it's two states.
	Maybe it's two or three.
	But anyway, what do you end up with, 312?
	So, what is that, 42 electoral votes away.
	But that's how close it came.
	And they're not done yet.
	They are determined to destroy this country.
	If they can't do it by rigging elections, they'll do it through some other means.
	They still have a lot of cards to play.
	They have a lot of false flags they can roll out.
	They still control most of the deep state, the intelligence community, the Pentagon, the media, educational institutions.
	They control state governments.
	They control governorships.
	They still control almost everything.
	Don't think that they're just gonna surrender and say, okay, we give up, we lost, we got rejected, we're gonna learn from our mistakes, and we're gonna be better people from now on.
	No, they're not.
	They're not gonna be better people.
	They're gonna be worse people.
	They're gonna try to kill you.
	They're gonna try to destroy the country.
	They're gonna try to bring America to its knees, and they're gonna try to absolutely exterminate Trump and his administration.
	Have no illusions.
	Don't be fooled by these people.
	They have proven again and again and again that they are evil, wicked demons.
	They have no repentance.
	They've offered no apologies.
	They do not even think they're wrong.
	They think that they just need to try harder next time to overthrow the country.
	They think it's perfectly okay to mutilate children.
	They think it's perfectly okay to have America overrun by illegals.
	You've got governors like Massachusetts now saying she's going to protect illegals and block the federal government under Trump from deporting those illegals.
	I mean, these are statements of straight-up treason.
	She should be arrested, removed from her governorship, arrested, and charged with treason.
	I mean, that's what it's going to come to.
	And once Trump is sworn in...
	I wouldn't be surprised and I would absolutely support him arresting any governor and any mayor that is harboring illegal aliens.
	Arrest them.
	They're violating their oaths of office.
	They swore an oath to defend and protect the Constitution and to defend and protect their states and their cities and they violated those oaths.
	Blatantly.
	Arrest them, remove them from power, charge them with sedition or treason, whatever's the appropriate charge.
	That is, in fact, the only proper answer to this.
	It's not about, oh, we can all heal.
	Can't heal while we're being invaded, and the people allowing the invasion are still in charge.
	They're just going to conquer and destroy the country if you let them.
	You need to stop the evil, stop the invasion, stop the lawlessness.
	And to do that, you got to take a stand and you got to be tough.
	Healing can come after we cut out the cancer.
	You know, it's not enough to just say, oh, somebody's got a giant cancer tumor there.
	Oh, let's just hug it.
	No.
	You got to defeat the cancer tumor now.
	I know how to defeat cancer tumors with nutrition and all kinds of things like, you know, black cumin seed and so on.
	Some people would just cut it out.
	Some people would irradiate it.
	I would defeat it with nutrition and turmeric and anti-cancer nutrients and so on.
	But you don't just say, oh, I just love the cancer.
	We're just going to get along with the cancer.
	That's like hugging your trash before you take it out.
	You're taking out the trash.
	What are you going to do?
	Hug and kiss the trash?
	No, it's stinky.
	It's garbage.
	You're going to take out the trash.
	And yeah, by this metaphor, by trash, I mean the Marxist lunatics who are deliberately trying to destroy this nation.
	They are trash.
	They mutilate children.
	They murder children.
	They are trash.
	They are wicked.
	They are demons.
	We're taking out the trash here.
	That's what this election was all about.
	This is the take out the trash election for America.
	That's why Trump drove the garbage truck and people loved it because everybody feels the same.
	It's time to take out the trash, take out the demons, cast them out, restore sanity to this country.
	The only way to do it is to stand up against these evil, wicked demons, not to try to get along with them, but to denounce them and remove them from power.
	This country will not be safe until the entire Democrat Party ceases to exist.
	You know, politically dismantling it.
	It needs to be banished and exposed for its fraud, its money laundering operations.
	Do you know how many Democrats in California get their fundraising from drug cartels and human trafficking kickbacks and money laundering through Ukraine?
	You have any idea?
	The entire Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.
	It's a mafia on steroids.
	The Democrat Party should be prosecuted under RICO. It's a racketeering operation.
	And I pray that under Trump that it can be exposed and dismantled.
	And the truth needs to be told.
	History needs to be written about this.
	How corrupt and evil and demonic the Democrat Party has been for, well, for decades, if not generations.
	So this is what we're up against.
	Do not try to appease evil.
	Dismantle it and defeat it.
	Reject it.
	Call it out.
	Expose it.
	That's how you deal with evil.
	If you have a venomous snake that's trying to attack you, you don't try to hug it, it will bite you.
	You deal with it as you would a venomous snake.
	So be wise about this and be cautious.
	The Democrats are faking it right now.
	They're planning something big.
	And if we're not prepared for it, It's going to take everybody by surprise, and they could use it to destroy this nation.
	And it's probably only some number of weeks away.
	That's my best guess.
	But stay tuned, stay informed.
	They may use the internet kill switch.
	They may shut off all comms.
	Make sure you have backup comms.
	Make sure that you are prepared for what's coming, because Clearly, it's going to be something absolutely monstrous, way bigger than 9-11, way bigger than anything that we've experienced in this country before.
	They're planning to kill this nation.
	This is like a national life or death crisis for the Republic.
	That's what we're facing.
	Alright, thank you for listening.

	And I pray for all your safety.
	Take care.
	All right, hope you enjoyed that special report.
	I've got another one coming up for you here.
	It's entitled, Trump as Savior?
	The only solution for human freedom is no government.
	So this is a special report about the libertarian realization, which is that, you know...
	Okay, so Trump wins and then you take all the Trump people and you send them to Washington and you boot out all the Obama people, but you still have the same beast system, oversized, way too powerful government, still exists, and you know it's going to be weaponized and turned against you.
	So what's the answer to this?
	What's the real solution?
	No government is the solution.
	How about a society...
	Rooted in voluntarism instead of coercion and confiscation.
	And, you know, violence.
	How about that?
	So check out this second report.
	Trump as savior, the only solution for human freedom is no government.
	If you're celebrating Trump's victory and the idea that now Trump's people are gonna run the government and it's all gonna be great.
	Well, I'd like to invite you to think about this a little more deeply and probably you already are.
	Most of the kind of people who listen to my podcast are very deeply informed and deep thinkers and have a lot of wisdom and I'm sure you've come to the realization that Just as Trump's people can go in and replace the Kamala people or the O'Biden people, let's say, well, you know, four years later, it can all flip back to Biden's people or Obama's people or Hillary's people or whoever else.
	And that this game of thinking that, you know, we're winning because our people are running the bureaucracy now, this is illusion.
	We are not winning.
	We're not winning on any day that this massive, monstrous, overpowering coercion system, beast system, exists.
	Every day that it exists, that it's printing dollars, it's stealing from you.
	Every day that it's taxing you, it's confiscating from you unfairly.
	This beast system government is immoral, it is unethical, it is lawless, it has legal immunity, in fact.
	And it funds wars, sends bombs overseas to bomb innocent people and kill them And it inflicts similar kinds of attacks on the American people through lawfare, selective FBI raids,
	selective prosecution by the DOJ, selective FDA inspections, EPA control over farming and food, USDA collusion with the pesticide manufacturers to poison your food and give it the stamp of approval from the government.
	USDA approved.
	It's EPA approved.
	Yeah, I'm a pesticide expert.
	We can just spray anything, anytime, anywhere.
	Which is not exactly like that, but it's close to that.
	We need to understand that government is not the solution.
	Government is not the solution.
	And thinking that just because at this moment in time that this government is going to be increasingly staffed by, let's say, pro-Trump people...
	That really doesn't mean as much as you think, and it doesn't solve any of these long-term problems.
	It doesn't end the FDA, does it?
	It doesn't end the EPA. And the only appropriate budget for any of these federal agencies that are unconstitutional and lawless, the only appropriate budget is zero dollars.
	Every one of these federal agencies should be permanently shut down and never to rise again.
	Why?
	Because none of them do what Congress asked them to do.
	For example, the EPA. Congress asked the EPA, hey, help stop pollution.
	Help stop pollution.
	And the EPA, what did it do over time?
	The EPA said, well, let's declare all combustion engines to be polluters and let's shut down combustion engines.
	How about that?
	Let's call CO2 a pollutant.
	That's not the intent of Congress, and CO2 is not a pollutant.
	It's what's necessary to grow plants.
	It's better than Brondo.
	It's what plants crave.
	The EPA has been bastardized, but every agency has been.
	Every agency.
	Think about it.
	The EPA has legalized the mass pollution of soils with biosludge.
	Think about it.
	Here's an agency created to stop pollution, and what do they do?
	They rubber-stamp pollution.
	FDA was supposed to protect us, protect the public from bad food ingredients and dangerous drugs.
	What does the FDA do?
	Well, they give their rubber stamp of approval to dangerous and deadly food ingredients like sodium nitrite that causes cancer and dangerous and deadly drugs and vaccines that are killing people by the millions.
	The FDA does the opposite of what it was set out to do.
	And this idea that every time you have a problem in society, we need another agency to address that problem.
	Oh, we have a drug problem.
	Let's have a drug enforcement agency.
	Oh, we have a gun problem.
	Let's have an alcohol, tobacco, and firearms agency.
	You know, on and on.
	All these things.
	None of these agencies do what they were set out to do.
	What they were founded to do.
	Time after time, What these agencies do is they're weaponized against the American people.
	And I would say that the FAA is probably one of the better exceptions to that.
	The FAA does actually have...
	Overall, good rules about air safety, you know, mandatory inspections of airplanes and so on.
	And because I trained as a pilot before, I had to interact with the FAA, and I never experienced the FAA being weaponized against me.
	But there are, of course, accusations of collusion with Boeing to overlook quality problems with the manufacturing of airplanes and so on.
	So it's not perfect, but I wouldn't put the FAA in the category of one of the worst weaponized agencies.
	Not at all.
	But the FDA? Oh my God, the FDA is responsible for the slaughter of millions, if not tens of millions of Americans.
	Well, it's got to be tens of millions.
	The FDA committed massive fraud during COVID to, quote, approve deadly vaccines without clinical testing, without sufficient evidence.
	And they just said, oh, it's emergency use authorization, EUA. All of a sudden, everybody can take these vaccines.
	Why are people dying?
	Oh, you're not allowed to say that.
	Censorship.
	Censorship pushed by the government itself.
	Anyway, the examples go on and on.
	Thousands of examples.
	And you've lived through this.
	You know this.
	So I don't have to tell you all these examples.
	You know that most government agencies are weaponized against the American people.
	Now, on top of that, by the way, even if Trump were able to find all good people, which is not going to happen because he's considering neocon lunatics like Pompeo, by the way, but if he were to find all good people,
	let's say just 10,000 Ron Pauls to come in and run the government, Even if that were the case, well, the existing bureaucracy is going to radically resist it because the existing bureaucracy in every government agency They are not elected.
	They're not subject to elections.
	They don't care what the American people think.
	And the number one goal of every government agency is survival.
	And then the second goal is expansion.
	Expansion of power, money, budgets, salaries, benefits, you know, rules, so that the EPA can have an assault team with body armor and M4 rifles and they can run around threatening farmers.
	And they do that.
	They do that.
	So that the IRS can send out armed teams to intimidate people in their own homes.
	And they do that.
	The IRS has a massive budget for firearms and weapons and body armor.
	You're like, what?
	Yes.
	Every agency, like a cancer tumor, wants to grow bigger.
	And just like a cancer tumor, the bigger it gets.
	The more it harms the body, which in this case would be the nation, the body republic, you could say.
	Every agency wants to grow.
	Every agency wants a bigger budget.
	And agencies like the CDC routinely carry out false flag operations.
	Oh, there's a measles outbreak in Disneyland.
	B.S. B.S. Totally contrived.
	Oh, there's a COVID outbreak.
	Everybody has to get vaccinated.
	B.S. Total scam.
	It was a plandemic.
	They had hospital protocols in place, the CDC and the FDA, to murder people in the hospitals.
	They financially incentivized the hospitals, paying them, in some cases, half a million dollars for every death that they created, as long as that death was a, quote, COVID death, so that the statistics for COVID deaths could be pumped up artificially to scare the American people and say all these people are dying from COVID. And it worked.
	The scam worked.
	The CDC ran that scam, well, along with other agencies, including NIAID and Fauci and FDA, etc.
	But you've got to understand that at some point these agencies figure out that the only way they can continue to exist is to cause the problems that they claim to prevent.
	This is why the FBI runs more terrorist operations in America than any terrorist group.
	This is why the CDC is involved in planting or fomenting more pandemics than any other agency.
	I mean, think about it.
	They need to exist and so they create the emergencies.
	They run false flag operations to justify their own existence.
	And at that point, the federal government has become weaponized against the people that it claims to serve or represent, and it becomes a clown show of fascism and tyranny.
	And that's the stage we're at right now, where the federal government itself is a terrorist organization That is weaponized against the American people.
	And of course it was weaponized against Trump.
	Look at the lawfare against Trump.
	They tried to throw him in jail.
	And now the DOJ is suddenly dropping all the criminal charges against him because he won the election.
	Just proving that the whole thing was election interference.
	That is what big government does to people.
	And if any of us believe that suddenly that's gonna magically change because we're gonna rearrange the personnel running these agencies temporarily, You know, you're kidding yourself.
	These agencies want power.
	The people that run these agencies, they are tyrants.
	I've interacted with some of them.
	They are demons.
	They are tyrants.
	They are arrogant, pompous, full of themselves.
	Evil, sinister people.
	They literally don't care about anything other than their own power.
	And they will do anything to you.
	They will shut down your business.
	They will arrest you.
	They will threaten you.
	They will coerce you.
	They will spy on you.
	They will do anything necessary to shore up their own power.
	And one election isn't going to change that.
	In fact, ten elections won't change that.
	The only thing that changes that is for us to realize we don't need government in our lives.
	The best government is no government.
	And if you think about the very reasons that government exists, what it was supposed to do, it was supposed to defend the borders.
	Has it done that?
	No.
	It was supposed to have a monetary system that's honest and holds value.
	Has it done that?
	Nope.
	Not at all.
	The best money is extra-governmental money.
	The best money today, arguably, would be gold, silver, and bitcoin.
	None of which governments create.
	That's what makes them great, is that governments can't create them.
	Governments can't counterfeit them.
	That's why gold and silver and bitcoin have value.
	And of course, Monero, which is even better because it's got privacy built in.
	But you get my point.
	Everything that government was supposed to do, it has failed to do.
	It can't even carry out honest elections.
	It can't even run an honest currency, honest debt, honest spending, honest wars, if that's such a term.
	It can't do any of that stuff.
	We don't need government in our lives.
	The real revolution, so to speak, is not to put your people in charge of this evil system of terrorism.
	The real solution is to dismantle the system.
	To make government so small, if it exists at all, that it doesn't have the bandwidth, the resources, and the time to worry about breaking into some guy's home to terminate his pet squirrel.
	Any government that has that much time on his hands is a government that's too big, too powerful, and too evil.
	And if we've learned anything over these last several years, it's that this government We'll do everything to keep itself in power.
	Including, you know, 51 intelligence officials swear that Trump works for Russia and the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation and blah blah blah.
	All lies.
	And yes, they generated something like 18 to 20 million extra votes for Biden in 2020.
	That's now apparent.
	Where do those extra votes come from?
	Well, collusion, government, With various parties that were fabricating ballots to run a dishonest election to keep themselves in power.
	And they will do it again.
	They will do it again unless you dismantle the system.
	The system is the problem, not just who's running it.
	Now, Education is the first part of this.
	Education on these ideas of liberty and voluntarism and why we don't need the state.
	We do not need the state at all.
	We have far more advanced decentralized systems today, such as Bitcoin and decentralized agriculture, decentralized business operations.
	We do not need government to tell us how to live our lives.
	We do not need government to tell us what is the science.
	We do not need government lording over our speech and telling us what is disinformation or misinformation.
	And we certainly don't need government defining what is pollution or what is a woman.
	And those are all the kinds of things that fascist left-wing government wants to do.
	But until we slash the size of government substantially, you know, 90%, let's say, these evils will continue even under Trump.
	Now, I'm not saying that you should tear down, you know, I'm not saying to firebomb government buildings or any such nonsense.
	That's what leftists do.
	You know, when Trump is in office, then they say government is bad and they throw Molotov cocktails at government buildings.
	But then when Biden is in power, then they say government's great.
	And anybody who doesn't like Biden is anti-government.
	So, you know, their moods about this just change like the wind.
	But I'm not saying to commit any violence whatsoever.
	I'm talking about what John Bush calls the exit and build solution.
	Or what Derek Brose talks about with voluntarism.
	Exit and build means get out of the system and build your own society, your own future, your own communities.
	Exit and build.
	That name has grown on me over time.
	At first...
	I wasn't sure what that really meant, but, you know, now it makes total sense.
	Exit the system and build your future.
	How do you exit the system?
	Well, we could do a whole, you know, we could do 10 hours on that, but disconnect from the system in every way you can.
	You know, use crypto, for example, instead of the banking system wherever you can.
	Say no to the vaccine mandates, for example.
	There are lots of ways to exit the system.
	Get out of cities and counties that want to micromanage your property or get out of neighborhoods that want to tell you you can't have a garden in your front yard.
	You can exit and build in many ways and again that's a whole discussion all by itself.
	But what I really want to get across to you here is that this system will destroy itself.
	And it doesn't take any special effort from you or I. The system is self-immolating through currency printing.
	Like all systems that were based on massive currency counterfeiting, this system will destroy itself from within.
	It will set itself on fire and burn itself down, just like the Soviet Union burned itself down in 1991.
	Well, the United States of America, the U.S. Empire, as I call it, will also burn itself down.
	And it seems to be very close to that point.
	I can't say exactly when, but I know that Trump can't reverse this.
	And I don't think he's even going to really try because he doesn't believe in balanced budgets.
	He believes in more debt, more money printing, artificially low interest rates to lower the cost of borrowing money.
	Trump will be the blowout president.
	He will print money like crazy and fund the military like crazy and probably fund Israel like crazy until the system breaks.
	And yeah, the stock market will go up under Trump.
	I believe so.
	But eventually the system breaks.
	And when it breaks, it is catastrophic.
	And what you and I need to do is to anticipate that coming and We need to be able to survive the implosion of the system.
	We need to be able to protect our assets and transfer them out of that broken system.
	And that's the role of gold and silver, by the way.
	And maybe Bitcoin, maybe land.
	You know, it's a complex discussion, but gold for sure.
	And then we need to participate in the building of the next system.
	That's the key.
	We have to participate in the building of the next system and understand that probably hundreds of millions of Americans that are currently living will not be living when that next system, when those debates are taking place.
	So it's going to be a very different debate.
	You're going to see, I believe, a whole lot of leftists burn their cities down and destroy themselves.
	And with the famine and the domestic war that's coming, you know, according to Deagle.com, before they took it down, They said that by the end of 2025, America's population would be less than 100 million.
	I mean, I don't know if that prediction is true, but if it were to be true, that would require almost a quarter of a billion Americans to die.
	I hope and pray that doesn't happen.
	But I also don't believe that everybody's going to survive what's coming, the collapse.
	So whatever it is, be ready, be safe, be informed, have your assets, and be ready to help build the next society.
	And if you want assets that will survive all this, it's gold and silver.
	Talk to our sponsor, the Treasure Island Company, metalswithmike.com.
	Talk to them about gold and silver.
	Honest pricing, guaranteed, secure, insured delivery, etc.
	Or go to rangerdeals.com and check out the other forms, goldbacks and prepper bars, which are the breakaway silver pieces.
	Those all have a premium over spot price, of course, but it's a more divisible form.
	So check it all out.
	But if you just want to load up on gold and silver, it's going to be metalswithmike.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Mike Adams here, the Health Ranger.
	Take care.
	All right.
	Hope you enjoyed that report.
	Now, we are getting ready to jump into the featured interview for today, which is with Seth Holhouse.
	And my co-host, Todd Pitner of Decentralize TV. And by the way, just the other day, when I mentioned that gold and silver dipped, it would have been a great time to buy because gold skyrocketed.
	I think it was up $40 to $50 after that.
	But it's still very early in the gold and silver cycle.
	As more money is printed, more currency is created, actually, is the correct way to say that.
	The dollar is going to lose value, which means that gold and silver are going to go up in terms of dollar valuation.
	This is, in my opinion, although I'm not a financial analyst, this is a really important time to preserve some of your assets in physical metals that have held value for thousands of years and have outlasted the rise and fall of literally hundreds of civilizations.
	I've done a sermon on the fact that gold is mentioned in the Bible.
	It's mentioned a couple hundred times in the Bible.
	Why?
	It even had value in those days.
	Many thousands of years ago, gold was recognized as valuable even before the birth of Christ and now long after the death of Christ and the resurrection of Christ.
	Gold will hold value even when the U.S. empire is long gone.
	When the dollar turns to dust, you want to be holding gold and silver.
	So I've got three options for you on that.
	Our primary sponsor is the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
	You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
	That's metalswithmike.com.
	There are two other options that have more of a premium but have much higher utility and divisibility.
	Those are goldbacks and prepper bars.
	You can find Goldbacks at verifiedgoldbacks.com.
	And you can find Prepper Bars at rangerdeals.com.
	Just go to rangerdeals.com and there's a discount code there for 10% off Prepper Bars.
	And Prepper Bars are breakaway silver.
	You can break off pieces of like one-tenth of an ounce or one-fourth of an ounce or what have you.
	And goldbacks have real physical gold embedded in each goldback itself.
	They're beautiful.
	Works of art.
	People love them.
	I give them out all the time.
	Everybody loves them.
	So that's verifiedgoldbacks.com if you want to check those out.
	I'm not your financial advisor.
	I can't guarantee gold and silver are going to go up in the dollars.
	But, well, as dollars lose value, of course gold and silver will tend to hold value.
	You don't have to be a genius to figure that out.
	And that's why the world's wealthy are going into gold and silver.
	And that's why the central banks of the world are buying massive amounts of gold right now.
	You can't go wrong.
	I was telling people to buy gold when it was like $1,800 or maybe $1,900 an ounce.
	Now it's $2,700 an ounce.
	And that was only like a little over two years ago.
	Maybe up to three years ago.
	But gold has held value while the dollar has collapsed.
	All right, so support our sponsors and help protect yourself from the collapse of the dollar or whatever's going to happen to the dollar.
	It's going to lose value.
	With that said, enjoy today's interview with Seth Holhouse.
	This is our Decentralized TV interview, also featuring my co-host Todd Pitner.
	Enjoy, and I'll be back with you, well, sometime this weekend.
	On Sunday, I'm going to run the Michael Yan interview, so be sure to check our channels on Sunday.
	Take care.

	And when it comes to coffee, you have to watch out for high cadmium content in a lot of coffee.
	So The laboratory testing is really critical in all of this, and we do more testing than anybody else that I know of in the world in terms of having our own laboratory, ISO-accredited, certified organic laboratory is inspected and tested and audited every year for the certification.
	And then on top of that, our food manufacturing facility is audited and inspected as well.
	And when it comes to organic instant coffee, you gotta watch out for cadmium content.
	So we test for cadmium as well.
	It's one of the heavy metals that we routinely test for.

	Take care.
	Welcome to today's episode of Decentralized TV here on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams and welcome to the show.
	This is the first show now that we're recording after the election, the big election that Trump won in the United States, which puts our nation on a very different future than what might have been.
	I guess we are now unburdened by what might have been.
	And I'm going to bring in our co-host today, Todd Pitner.
	Welcome, Todd.
	How are you feeling right now after this election about our future and also about the future of decentralization?
	Fantastic, Mike.
	And as always, great to see you.
	Really looking forward to our guest today.
	Yes.
	And I was feeling rather despondent prior to, and I'm not that personality type, if you can't tell.
	But I was just thinking, they're going to steal this again.
	And when it didn't happen, because...
	They just couldn't put this genie back in the bottle.
	They couldn't even cheat their way through this one.
	Then it just gave me this giant sense of relief.
	And I'm very happy and very hopeful.
	And I think the answer to all, Mike, is decentralization.
	And we'll unpack that.
	100%.
	And that's going to be a core message of our show today.
	We're going to bring in our guest shortly.
	It's Seth Holhouse from Man in America.
	But let me just preface that by saying...
	That we all have to be very cautious, thinking that, like, if you're a Trump fan watching this, you're like, everything's going to be great now because our people are going to run the government now.
	And, you know, Todd and I would say, wait a second, wait a second, decentralization is achieved not by just changing who's running the beast system, but rather by, you know...
	Splitting apart the beast system, like putting power back into the hands of people.
	We need to decentralize everything for us to be more free, because they can change the people running the government again, because there will be maybe more elections if we make it that far.
	But let's bring in our guest, Seth, to comment on this.
	Welcome, Seth Holhouse from maninamerica.com.
	It's so great to have you on, Seth.
	Welcome to the show.
	Thank you so much.
	It's great to be here with both of you, fine gentlemen.
	Today's topic just happens to be very close to my heart, so I'm looking forward to this discussion quite a bit.
	Okay, that's awesome.
	But I do have to offer a correction.
	You called us both fine gentlemen.
	So that's strike one.
	We're going to keep track of your strikes today and see what happens.
	We are not fine gentlemen.
	Both of us were probably out in the dirt just a few minutes ago doing some kind of gardening.
	Yeah, this morning.
	I heard him say, finite gentleman.
	Oh, finite.
	I thought he nailed it.
	Like we are mere mortals.
	Okay, I accept that.
	That's totally good.
	Okay, Seth, you get a reprieve on that one.
	We'll reset it back to no strikes.
	Okay, but Seth, you also, by the way, you like to grow your own food.
	You're into homesteading.
	You like off-grid living.
	So talk to us about, please, just how are you feeling right now about this whole concept of decentralization?
	In this post-election era, and just kind of set the tone for our conversation today, if you would, please.
	Sure.
	I feel very similar to what both of you have talked about so far.
	My gut is, okay, something is not right about the election.
	I mean, you know, obviously it's positive, right?
	I think our country is headed towards a more positive direction than what it would have been.
	But, you know, Mike, you and I just finished up in a different interview talking about the art of war.
	I mean, when you're strong, act weak.
	When you're weak, act strong.
	And when have we ever seen Especially in the past eight years, this idea of this peaceful transition and where did all the Hitler rhetoric go?
	If they really believed that Trump was Hitler and that he was going to come in and put everyone in concentration camps and everything, then why would Kamala be conceding so readily?
	It feels like there's a calm before a storm.
	And so that's one concern.
	My other concern, though, is that a lot of the people that have been following your show or my show, that they're thinking to themselves, oh, gosh, okay, we're in the clear now.
	So all that storage, all that food storage I was going to buy or the gold and silver or the brass, whatever it is, I'm not going to need it now because Trump's going to get back in and we're safe.
	And I think that is...
	Extremely dangerous because we are still at war and we're entering into what I think is probably one of the final stages of a significant battle of good and evil and a battle of the cabal and the deep state versus we the people.
	And so I feel like that right now the tone, the discussion needs to be how can we become even more vigilant, more self-sufficient because if we think that Trump's going to snap his fingers and all these criminals and all the army that, you know, The Chinese soldiers and the cartel members, the gang members that came across our border are just going to disappear.
	I think it's a little bit naive.
	So I'm allowing myself to put my feet up a little bit.
	I went and got a nice coffee with my wife yesterday in celebration.
	But right now, we're really deep into rebuilding a huge chicken coop.
	And we're going serious because there's something that, again, my spidey senses are tingling and they're saying, Seth, This isn't the time to relax, keep preparing, keep focused, and make sure you're doing everything possible to protect your family.
	Well, Seth, I think you hit upon a really important point here, which is that as much as all of us here, we teach decentralization, voluntary decentralization, But it can also be forced upon us if there's a domestic war between, for example, the states and a Trump administration.
	We're already seeing early signs of that.
	We have the governor of Massachusetts saying that she's going to provide sanctuary to illegal aliens in the state and will not allow the federal government to deport them, even though they are in the country illegally.
	And even though seemingly the governor of Massachusetts must have sworn an oath of office that includes protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America, so she would be in violation of her oath.
	But we could rapidly see decentralization forced upon us if certain states, for example, the blue states in particular, decide to secede from the Union or refuse to recognize Trump as their president come January 20th.
	Is that a possible scenario that you are considering?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I mean, it's, it's, I mean, it's completely a possibility because, you know, going to the governor of Massachusetts, I mean, you know, typically, if you go back to, you know, the founding fathers and how they established our, you know, set up this constitutional republic, with the Constitution and everything is that,
	It was, in a lot of ways, meant to protect us from the federal government, but what happens if the federal government gets into the right hands, yet you have state governments that become corrupt and don't want to follow the Constitution as it should be, and then you have to have federal force coming in to state force, and again, the State National Guard, etc., are they going to be following the President and the Constitution?
	Are they following the orders of the governor?
	I see that there's a lot of different scenarios that could lead to some sort of...
	I'm not going to say full-blown civil war, but definitely civil conflict in America that could absolutely disrupt an already extremely fragile supply chain.
	So, yeah, I'm worried about the same thing you guys are worried about.
	All right, now, Todd, you're in the clear because you're in Florida, and Florida went so red.
	I mean, there's no conflict in Florida, it appears.
	How are you feeling?
	I am...
	I am grateful to be in Florida, but I do have a really, really good memory some days.
	Seth, first of all, it's a pleasure having you on.
	Thanks for joining us.
	Fair warning, though, I tend to set the table a bit with my questions, so bear with me, please.
	Because I want to touch upon what you just said earlier about, you know, feeling at ease, but not, right?
	And I just think everybody needs a public service announcement.
	They need to be able to hear what I'm going to say.
	So again, allow me to unpack this.
	Seth, today the wicked liberal leftists, they're conveniently calling for unity.
	We've been hearing it ever since, you know, yesterday.
	Well, I think we all keep receipts, right?
	We should keep receipts and remember.
	So allow me to offer the viewers several reminders.
	In 2022, the same demons calling for unity today wanted...
	Fines for the unvaccinated.
	They supported locking us up in our own homes and even having us sent to quarantine camps.
	There were discussions about that.
	They demanded our children be taken from us for us refusing clot shots for them, if you recall.
	And they commanded...
	Critics of the vaccines that they be entirely censored and deplatformed.
	So these same unity seekers, they even lamented over the bullet missing Trump's head.
	In summary, they want you dead, your wife raped, your daughter gay, your son trans, and your unborn child aborted.
	And I submit to you, Seth, that there is no forgiveness, no unity, without what?
	Without repentance, right?
	We have to remember that.
	And there can only be, and there can be no unity with those who cling to their wickedness.
	And we have to understand that this wicked liberal left is just that.
	It's wicked.
	So that's not going to go away based upon Kamala Kazi actually saying, we are the party of unity.
	What say you, Seth?
	Yeah, I think that we have to have a reckoning because for us to move forward as a country, we have to be on the same page.
	And this is one of the keys here.
	And a lot of it, I go back to the mainstream media.
	I go back to big tech and what they've done to the country and just the brainwashing campaigns that they have initiated.
	I mean, massive, massive psychological operations that are Probably a thousand times deeper than even the three of us could comprehend in terms of their technology, their AI, and who knows what else.
	And so I think, though, that repentance is a process of coming back to the truth, right?
	Coming back to God's truth that there are two genders, that There are very clear rules that we have that when we go so far outside of those, it doesn't work.
	And if we want America to continue, we have to be able to come to an agreed-upon idea of truth, which actually, I think Trump just put out a message that, you know, on day one, I think that he's going to start really attacking this gender ideology, and even the federal government will only recognize two genders.
	He's going to pull all that stuff out, which is great, right?
	Because to me, that's a step, because the thing is that If you're, say, your neighbor has a complete psychosis, and say they're convinced it's World War II, and then they're pulling out an old M4 at your time, you walk onto their property, they have to realize that it's not World War II anymore, and they have to come to the conclusion, they have to basically accept reality.
	And so, yeah, there are going to be, I think there's going to be a lot of people In this process, they were diehard Biden's fans.
	Maybe they second-guessed Kamala.
	Now their whole world is shattered.
	Maybe there's a lot of them that say, wow, maybe my friend was right.
	Maybe Seth was right.
	Maybe Mike was right.
	And they're going to come back and say, you know what?
	Look, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry that I kind of got pulled into that.
	But my concern, though, is there's a lot of people, I think, They're just gonna double down and triple down.
	And they're gonna be convinced that Trump is Hitler.
	They're gonna be convinced that any white male is a threat to their life.
	And I think those are the people that we really have to worry about because I don't think as much as they talk about unity, I'm not going to unify around lies.
	It's a principle.
	I stand for truth.
	And so I'm not going to play make-believe and accept this alternate reality where you can be a cat if you believe you're a cat.
	So I think that the tricky place in this is because That reconciliation that has to happen is going to be very disruptive to a lot of people, and I think there's a lot of people that won't do it, and that's what concerns me moving forward.
	But Seth, well, I agree with what you just said.
	said i just want to add to it that this great shattering as let's just call it that now the great shattering of the delusions this is going to happen in an accelerated fashion because the delusions that a lot of these leftists were holding on to were reinforced by government policies that will no longer be there right the government policies pushed into universities the government policies pushed into corporations that became dei and woke policies and so on and and by the way just as a side
	note this is not normally the topic of discussion of this show but it's relevant because i say the great shattering will also lead to then the great scattering because people are going to leave these cities of delusion They will leave the cities...
	Which is, I mean, we love the idea of people getting out into the real world.
	You know, it's easy to live in a delusion in a city when you're not interacting with nature.
	But nature is the ultimate truth teller.
	And when you're on a farm and you're growing food, you can't be delusional and make up your own rules because nature and God are going to tell you something different.
	You've got to work with the rules of nature, right?
	So if the great shattering leads to the great scattering and people have to flee these collapsing left-wing cities filled with delusion, then this is going to end up ultimately red-pilling a bunch of people as they are forced to accept the reality.
	Does that make sense?
	Oh, absolutely.
	It's a really good point, too, because the institutions that have reinforced these radical, radical ideas, they're not going to be able to do it anymore.
	I mean, and they're going to be actively shut down and defunded under the Trump administration.
	So that's a really, really good point that you bring up.
	But what it makes me think of is what then happens when, I mean, it's not that everyone who leaves these collapsing blue cities is going to be friendly and coming to your doorstep saying, hey, look, I was wrong.
	I apologize.
	They might be saying, hey, where's food?
	Is that a garden growing?
	Do I hear chickens?
	Hey, is that a little kid I can take with me?
	It's almost like if you find a nest of ants or spiders that's keeping to itself, if you start poking it and all of a sudden they're going everywhere, This could be a pretty scary situation.
	Well, we have good answers to that.
	And I think Todd agrees with me on this, but I'll let him answer for himself.
	But on the compassion side, if somebody comes to my door asking for help, my answer is very simple.
	I've already made a massive donation to the church down the road.
	Here's how you get to that church.
	Go to the church.
	You'll get food and water and shelter that you need.
	So God bless you.
	There it is.
	But if you step across this gate, I'll probably shoot you.
	You know?
	So, I mean, that's the way it's going to go.
	And that's...
	I mean, Todd, what's your answer to that?
	I mean, like, you also want to donate and help people with your food for us and so on.
	But if somebody comes to steal your food for us and shoot your pet raccoons, what are you going to do to them?
	You know?
	I'm going to introduce him to Zeus, my German shepherd, that you don't want to mess with him.
	And he wears bulletproof armor, so you can't shoot him either, Mike.
	Yeah.
	I actually have bulletproof armor for my dog, by the way.
	I bet you do.
	Why does that not surprise me, Seth?
	But this, well, back to you, Seth.
	I mean, it's just that we have to have compassion, but we also have to protect our communities and our property.
	Otherwise, we have nothing.
	I agree.
	I mean, because ultimately, yes, I need to have compassion.
	But my role as a father, you know, I've got an eight-month-old baby and a four-year-old little girl, both little girls, and I've got a wife.
	And ultimately, it is my job to protect them.
	And one of the ways I'm protecting them is making sure that we have food, making sure we can grow our own food, making sure that we have chickens producing eggs, all those things.
	And if someone is coming to threaten that food supply, you know, then look, I hope it never reaches that situation.
	But, ultimately, I have to protect my family, and I'm willing to.
	Unfortunately, I hate talking like that, but that's the reality.
	I mean, look, we have to be so PC these days, but you go back a couple hundred years, and this is just what every man would do.
	It's like, you cross that line, boy, I'm going to shoot you in the forehead.
	And it's like, that's what would have happened.
	You know what, gentlemen?
	The three most difficult sentences to string together at one point in time, and they're the three most difficult for a reason, and why it's not going to happen with the left, is, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me.
	Those are really hard to do, but for those who muster the courage to do that, it solves so many problems moving forward in relationally with different people.
	But I also hold on to that precious NPC theory of mine that most of the people in my operating reality, I don't believe, have possessed the ability to critically think.
	I think they're still going to get their download from the TV. So it's going to be very much...
	Very much instrumental on what the mainstream programming is moving forward.
	And what I noticed, and I'd love your opinion on this, and maybe this is the fake left, Mike, but the fake left seems to be that they're acquiescing because they realize the bull in the China shop is out and they better start protecting themselves so they're not this Venomous, which we know they are inside, but they're trying to play this unity card and whatnot.
	But I believe it's because they do not want the wrath on them.
	So they're trying to protect themselves.
	They're going into defensive mode.
	But we can't be fooled with a fake left because they will go right as soon as we let down our guard.
	What do you guys think?
	Well, let's ask Seth to reply to that one.
	Seth, do you have a take on that?
	Yeah, no, I certainly agree.
	I mean, we have to be vigilant because what we're dealing with, I mean, look, if you go and look at Marxism, which is, I believe, it's, in a lot of ways, I think Marxism is Satan's political branch.
	I think it's a specter.
	I think it's, in a lot of ways, it's ruling our world.
	Actually, the Epoch Times, they wrote a book series literally called The Specter of Communism is Ruling Our World.
	And so, you know, and if you look in the tents of Marxism, you look at how they act, It's the wolf in sheep's clothing.
	It's all about disguising.
	And so we have to be, again, be very, very vigilant.
	And I like your idea, Mike, of saying, look, I don't have anything that you can go to the local church.
	Maybe what I'll do is I'll put together some small packets of seeds.
	I've certainly stocked up on a lot of seeds.
	And maybe what I'll do is someone comes up and say, look, hey, here's a little envelope of some seeds.
	Go plant these.
	This is the best I can do for you and send them on their way.
	Yeah, and by the way, just to demonstrate how much I'm committed to this, you know, I've launched a church and the church has already raised over $500,000 in food donations and we've already shipped out $300,000 worth of food.
	And I've got about $200,000 of food here in Central Texas.
	Last weekend, I gave away $15,000 of food buckets in person, including to some local rescue groups.
	I mean, they came in with their pickup trucks, you know, the whole deal.
	So, you know, I want the audience to know that all of us are authentic.
	We have compassion.
	We want to help people.
	But we also cannot allow ourselves to be overrun.
	Now, Seth, kind of segueing from that is the idea that I don't think the left is going to just remain calm for very long.
	And they're going to fight Trump.
	And they're going to cause chaos.
	But this speaks to the importance of decentralized living, which is something that you have done, Seth.
	You have pursued and implemented very successfully, I would imagine.
	You and I have had many conversations about that over the years.
	And I'd like you to share with our audience some of the most successful strategies that you've implemented for decentralized living or off-grid living or let's just call it being resilient against uncertain times.
	What would you share?
	Well, sure.
	You can plug your book, too, because you've got a book about it.
	I will, certainly.
	Yes.
	It's a great book.
	Thank you.
	For anyone, especially that's living in the city or living in the suburbs right now, you can make changes.
	I know, Mike, you talk about this a lot in your books.
	I've listened to both of your audiobooks.
	Specifically, was it the...
	I forget the...
	Resilient Prepping is...
	Resilient prepping was one of them.
	And then it was one about the reset, right?
	The global reset.
	Global reset, yeah.
	Yes.
	And so one of the big things is just looking, okay, where are you living?
	Well, go back to, say, 2019.
	I was living in a high-rise building.
	I was on, I think, the 42nd floor in Long Island City, New York.
	Wow.
	So I was living in probably what you could say was like the worst possible place that you want to be living.
	Not a survivable place.
	No, no.
	I mean, the best thing I had going for me was I had maybe like a 15 square foot balcony that I could have grown some herbs on.
	So, you know, I went from that journey.
	I moved to Ohio.
	And we, you know, my wife and I, we got about five acres of land.
	Now we've since moved.
	We relocated.
	And I'm not telling people what state I'm in because it's crazy as it is.
	It is.
	People knew I was in Ohio.
	People figure out where I lived.
	I had people showing up at my door saying, hey, is this where Man in America lives?
	And so that's not why we moved, but we've since moved, and now we're on about seven acres.
	We're in the deep woods, and we're very, very actively preparing.
	But one thing that I... Obviously, I've done a lot of things that you talked about, Mike, in terms of looking at high-tech, low-tech, no-tech.
	We've got everything from a Kubota diesel tractor with a PTO generator, I think 8-kilowatt generator that I can use to plug into our house with diesel stored.
	We've got A couple solar generators.
	I just got an EcoFlow 4000 watt solar generator from satellite phone store with Tina over there.
	Fantastic company.
	So we have solar on the house.
	We have a wood-burning fireplace that will heat the entire home.
	I tested it out earlier this year unintentionally because our heater broke.
	So I was forced to use wood to heat our home.
	And so right now we're kind of reestablishing because when we were back in Ohio, we had Almost everything.
	I probably had 15 cords of wood.
	We had 50 chickens.
	We had gardens.
	We had food forests.
	We had a lot of stuff.
	So unfortunately, we had to go through the process of uprooting and moving across the country and reestablishing.
	And it was not easy because I was renting in a little condo house in a gated community for most the second half of last year, which was not the place that I wanted to be.
	But I've made this journey.
	So for the folks that are, again, living, say they're renting a townhome in a suburb, that they're worried, you know, you can make changes, right?
	And look, I'm not a rich man, but we don't go on vacations.
	I don't own a bunch of sports cars.
	If there's ever any extra money I have, it's going into silver, brass, or seeds, or food, or, you know, those are my priorities.
	And so with my family, thankfully, my wife is on the exact same page Even more so because she listens to the Mike Adams podcast way more often than I do because I'm just really busy.
	So she's always the one coming to me and saying, hey, Seth, I just ordered a one-year supply of this.
	I got two-year supplies of this.
	I got the chlorine dioxide.
	So thankfully, you know, she's tuning in and she's coming to me and saying, okay, hey, Mike recommends cloyal silver for this.
	I've got, you know, a carton of it arriving.
	So that's good.
	But we've really worked so like what we're doing right now.
	We're just...
	Actually, literally tomorrow, I'm doing a six-hour round trip to go buy some chickens.
	I finally found some nice pullets that are going to be good chickens for where we live.
	We're just finishing up a chicken coop, and we're building...
	It's really a chicken fortress.
	I poured concrete.
	I got a contractor building it with all the bells and whistles, because we live in bear country, so I've got black bears coming, so I'm basically trying to bear-proof it the best that we can.
	Oh, wow.
	I've never had to defend chickens from bears.
	That's...
	Yeah, and I talked to someone locally, and they said, actually, the best thing you can do is you put up an electric fence wire, solar-powered electric fence, and they said, put baking grease on the entire wire.
	So that way, if a bear comes up, they lick the electrical wire, they're not coming back to your chicken coop again.
	So that was the advice.
	From the neighbors.
	But, you know, I can say that one thing that I'm focusing a lot more on, and this is something that was interesting.
	So when we moved to Ohio, we were very isolated.
	We were about an hour and a half outside of Columbus.
	My family was all in Columbus.
	We didn't really know that many people.
	And there's really no community.
	And so what we've done now is we've picked a location where we had a lot of friends and a lot of people that we know very well.
	And so the key right now is I've been really focusing on is I think one of the biggest areas that I missed in my previous preparedness was previously preparing for me was stock up and arm up.
	And that was what preparation was.
	Make sure you got, you know, food, water, all the things that, you know, Mike, you cover extensively.
	But there wasn't that community.
	And so what I'm doing right now is, in this region I'm at, I've already met the local sheriff.
	I'm going to set up a meeting to go in and meet him as other key deputies.
	He's someone that absolutely, you know, cherishes the Constitution and will stand for the Constitution.
	But I'm also making an effort now to meet up with my neighbors.
	Because this is the thing, is that Look, I don't have a fortress.
	We're on seven acres, but still seven acres.
	If you have a gang of Venezuelans coming in a pickup truck and say it's late at night and all five of them hop out and they can walk up on the property, We just got dogs, but they're puppies right now, so they're not going to be protecting very much.
	The key is that if I can then very quickly pull out a radio system I've set up with my neighbors and say, hey, I've got someone here.
	I need you ASAP. If I've got five armed neighbors that instantly come to my house, and if they're contacting the local sheriff who also knows where I live, and if the sheriff backup is coming, say, 10 minutes after that, That's my chance of survival.
	So I'm really trying to lean on building that local community.
	We're five minutes from our local milk farm.
	So thankfully we're in a region where I can buy raw milk, which is great.
	So we positioned ourselves so that we are very much so building this hyper-local community And even the neighbors, one of my neighbors, his main gig is firewood.
	So he's probably got 15 acres.
	Probably a third of it is full of logs.
	So he's dropping off firewood for me.
	I got a good deal from him.
	The neighbor across the street is a nurse.
	So I've met them.
	And so this is what I'm looking at is instead of just looking at, okay, how can I do everything on my own in isolation?
	We're really focused on trying to build this community of people, of like-minded people, That if things go south, we can band together, that we can drag some big logs across the ends of our street that we live on, and we can form our own little community here to protect ourselves.
	And that's been one of the biggest changes that I've gone through in preparedness, is it's going from making sure that my own home is a fortress, I've got everything I need, and we're kind of there, but now to kind of extend out to my local community, and that's what we're really focused on right now.
	That's huge.
	It feels great.
	Hugely important.
	Yeah, go ahead, Todd.
	Quick question.
	So how have your neighbors responded to that, the approach and the engagement?
	So far, really well.
	And what I've done, you know, stay with the guy that, you know, has brought me firewood.
	You know, I've only met him maybe a month or so ago.
	So, you know, because we've only been here, we bought our house earlier this year, and we've done a bunch of renovations.
	And so we've been really busy.
	But, you know, how I approached it is I just said, hey, I said, just so you know, I think he aligns with me politically, which is great, but I said, hey, because even someone that maybe has a Trump flag, they may not be that prepared.
	It doesn't mean that they're going to be someone that knows how to use an AR, that has a plate carrier they can throw on if they need to.
	That is what it is.
	So what I've done is I've just kind of introduced it and said, hey, he was here a couple weeks ago dropping off some firewood.
	I said, hey, Jeff, just so you know, If things are kind of dicey, if there's ever anything that you need, if something's in trouble, please call me.
	I said, I believe in the Second Amendment and I will be at your side.
	And he said, gosh, thank you.
	I'm going to do the same for you.
	And I find that's actually one of the best ways to do it is just starting there and just telling them, hey, if you need me, you offer them that and they're going to come back.
	And so I haven't talked to the nurse yet.
	I haven't had that conversation yet, but it's going to be the same thing.
	Look, I really believe in self-sufficiency, and if there's anything I can do for you, you have my number, and here's what we can do.
	I think the next step, which is when we're preparing for the next step of that, which is going to be calling a little bit of a meeting among my neighbors, actually talking through, hey, how are we going to communicate?
	So I recently got a sat phone and a bivvy stick from the satellite phone store.
	So I'll talk to them about that and say, hey, just so you guys know, I've got Starlink, I've got Solar, I've got a sat phone and a bivvy stick.
	Again, if you need communication in a grid-down scenario, I'm so happy to help out.
	But also even getting some local CB radios that we can use.
	Communication is really important, so that's going to be some of the other conversations with them, is talking to them and say, hey, if cell towers are down, if the grid's down, Can we still communicate with each other?
	Set up the communication for that.
	And my goal is eventually to get to a point where maybe there's a monthly meeting.
	Maybe it's at my house or my neighbor's house where we get together and we start talking about scenarios.
	Okay, what happens if this?
	What happens if this, right?
	And to me, these are the steps I'm taking.
	I've also The local farmers that run the milk farm that we get our milk at, the other farm market that we go to is a farm that has a little farm stand about five minutes away from us.
	I've had these conversations and say, hey, what would you do if the government tries to come in here and shut down your milk sales because of bird flu?
	Because obviously they're targeting raw milk.
	And so I've started having these conversations with them.
	And I think that's one of the keys is just Finding out that, hey, actually, these people are actually very much on the same page as me because I think that as bad as a major disruption would be, especially to our supply chain, it could be one of the best things ever because if you want to build local community, cut off the grid in a way that you'll see very quickly the right people will come together and start building these communities.
	So that's where I'm starting.
	There's a lot of conversations like that.
	That's so smart.
	Oh, go ahead, Mike.
	Well, I'm really glad you mentioned Tina and the Satellite Phone Store.
	Tina was just here a few days ago, by the way.
	And the Satellite Phone Store is the official sponsor of this show.
	I just want to mention, folks, if you want to go to sat123.com, that'll bring you to the Satellite Phone Store, and you can get all this equipment.
	And they have a new line of bags available.
	Faraday EMF blocking bags.
	They've got this rugged ballistic backpack that has bulletproof material and four different Faraday locations in it.
	And we've got these at the HealthRanger store, healthrangerstore.com slash escape.
	They've got a laptop bag.
	And, you know, phone, Faraday bags for phones, smaller backpacks and tablet devices and so on.
	So this is a new line from Tina's company, the Satellite Phone Store.
	And Tina's been very generous.
	She's been donating a lot of gear to a lot of people, even those in Texas who are protecting our border.
	And so I'm very glad that you're taking advantage of those products, and thank you for mentioning them.
	They are a great sponsor, but you and I both know also we don't want people to make the mistake of trying to tech their way out of a preparedness responsibility.
	And like Todd, you know this too, growing a food forest is a deeply hands-on experience, especially since you just went through a hurricane.
	Yeah.
	Or, if not, more than one.
	But we've got to have the skills, too.
	And you're on board with this, Seth.
	You've got to have the skills.
	But, Todd, would you first talk...
	Oh, and let me mention Seth's website, too.
	Is it preplikenoa.com?
	Is that it?
	Oh, yeah.
	Actually, I forgot to plug my own thing.
	So, yeah.
	So, I'm...
	I'm in the final stages of writing a book.
	It's called Prep Like Noah.
	And just like you've done, Mike, I'm giving it away for free.
	The book is not, I'm not writing it to put up on Amazon, try to sell it a bunch.
	And so that's my main website there is maninamerica.com.
	But if folks go to preplikenoah.com, they can put their email in there.
	And then as soon as the book is ready, I'm sending it out to people.
	And the idea behind the book, and why is it called Prep Like Noah, is because I really believe that we're living in the days of Noah.
	We've got genetic modification happening.
	We've got rampant evil and chaos.
	And this is one of the things that often I mention, and I talk about in the introduction to the book there.
	That's what if you go to prep like Noah, it just takes you to that landing page right there where you can sign up.
	Is that if you look at what the earth was like in Noah's time and everyone says, "Yeah, we're living in the days of Noah." Well folks, we have to realize that it took a flood to get rid of the evil in Noah's time.
	True.
	So to think that we're, it's like everyone's so caught, you know, casually says, "Oh, we're living in the days of Noah.
	Hey, who's playing a football game tonight?" Right?
	It's like, the reality is, is that.
	There's a lot of evil on this earth, and if that evil is to be wiped out, it's going to create chaos.
	There's no way around it.
	We have one of the best lessons in history for that.
	But the angle I'm taking with the book is that if you look at Noah, Noah wasn't building an ark because God wanted an example of a great ark to preserve for the future.
	He built an ark because God needed him to rebuild mankind after the destruction of the evil.
	And that's the whole point is that people like yourselves and our audiences and the good people that are following God, they're following virtue.
	I really believe that we need to get through whatever's coming up here because we have to be the ones to help rebuild on the other side.
	And so that to me, that's the calling.
	That's like, ultimately, of course, I want to protect my family.
	Of course, I want to help build a community.
	But fundamentally, I'm preparing because I feel like God has a mission for me and that I can't see the future.
	Obviously, I have no idea what the future holds, but I do believe that we're going through a phase of the evil being wiped out on earth and there's going to be a lot of chaos.
	But I also believe that on the other side of that, there's going to be some very important roles for the people that make it and for the good people that make it.
	The idea with the book of Prep Like Noah, it's nothing as comprehensive as some of your books, Mike, which are so deep into low-tech, high-tech, no-tech.
	They're fantastic.
	I'm writing this more like a prepping 101.
	It's a lot of bullet points.
	It's very simple.
	It's just for somebody that is Maybe new to prepping or mediocre prepping.
	I mean, Mike, you'll probably read the book and it'll make perfect sense for you.
	You can probably check off every box in the book.
	Yep, done that, done that, done that.
	It's to make it really easy for people that say folks are living in a town home in a suburb.
	What can they do, right?
	For folks who are living on an acre of land and they're just starting and they, hey, should I get backyard chickens or should I buy some food first?
	So the idea is it's really, again, it's just prepping 101.
	Well, let me interrupt you.
	Seth, I'm sorry, but...
	Please do.
	Right after the North Carolina storms that just hit, and Todd, again, you lived through the storm that hit Florida, I was shocked to find out how many people never owned a water filter.
	And I'm not trying to say it's the fault of those people whose homes were destroyed.
	Like, I understand, you know, if a mountain slide, a mudslide wipes out your home, yeah, I understand, you don't have a water filter, because it's gone.
	But people never had water filters.
	I'm shocked.
	I mean, how do you live in the world today and have no water supply and no water filter at all?
	I can't believe, given the unpredictability of our world, but I guess that's some of what you're teaching in your book, right, Seth?
	What happened?
	Everybody got zoomed in there all of a sudden.
	I think we lost Todd, and so everything changed.
	But Seth, go ahead and answer us, and we'll work on the screen.
	But what is it about people not covering the basics?
	You know, I think that a lot of it is a misunderstanding of what prepping is.
	Because if you go to YouTube preppers, they'll say, hey, get a bug out bag and here's the 10 items you got to have and you're fine.
	And I think it's overlooking that.
	But yeah, I was talking to a guy that has a survival food company and he was telling me that he's done a lot of stuff in North Carolina, they've donated a bunch of food.
	It's similar to yourself, Mike.
	And I said, what was the most surprising part about that?
	And he goes, people living in a million-dollar cabin that don't have clean water.
	He's like, do you know how many pallets of water we had to ship in to give these people bottled waters and pallets where Look, you can go to Amazon right now and get a little bottle of iodine tablets that you can drop into water that will give you purified water.
	But even that, and again, that's kind of why I'm writing this book and the way I'm doing is that it's like it's 101.
	These are your basic things.
	The first chapter is water, right?
	It's the one thing that you need to have.
	Right, and in that storm in North Carolina, and I believe that was an engineered weather weapon, but that's a different topic.
	They had water everywhere.
	I mean, there was plenty of water.
	It just was heavily polluted and not drinkable unless you were able to purify it, right?
	But I also then learned, because we shipped a lot of food out there, and we had...
	People were so happy to get our food because mostly they were getting energy drinks and processed garbage and diapers and water bottles and stuff.
	But we were shipping real food.
	But the thing is, you have to be able to boil water to cook quinoa or beans or rice or legumes or whatever.
	And I was shocked to learn that a lot of people don't have any means or experience boiling a pot of water.
	If their stove doesn't work, can you just go out in the backyard and figure out how to boil a pot of water?
	And the answer for a lot of people is no.
	How did your ancestors ever survive and not teach you this?
	It's the most basic thing.
	It really is.
	It's funny because one of the first things that I got after I left the city was I went to a garage sale and they had a bunch of little propane tanks used for gas grills.
	I bought six of them.
	I got them all filled and I bought a little gas burner that attaches to a propane tank.
	There you go.
	If you have to, you've got your propane tank.
	You can boil water if you have a stock pot.
	There you go.
	But yeah, it's crazy.
	We talked about a reckoning.
	It's interesting because we're talking about the reckoning of the left, the lies of the mainstream media, but there's also a reckoning for a lot of Americans that are conservatives and following things.
	It's a reckoning of, hey, even though you're aligning yourself with the truth, You're not actually that prepared.
	And there's a reckoning, because the thing is, we're not living how our grandparents did.
	I remember going and visiting my great-grandma, who survived the Great Depression, going down to her root cellar and seeing an entire wall of jarred food that she canned and seeing that she had a half-acre garden every single year.
	It was just how she did things.
	So there's a reckoning from a lot of people coming.
	And again, I was so surprised hearing these stories coming out of North Carolina People that moved there to take their family outside of the cities and have a safe place in nature, yet they didn't have a food supply.
	They only had a couple days worth of food.
	They had no way of purifying water.
	They didn't have any other water.
	And these aren't people that had their entire house wiped out by a mud flood.
	These are folks that lost power.
	And now here they are two days later freaking out because they can't feed their families.
	Yeah, and welcome back, Todd.
	Did you have to reboot or something there?
	What happened?
	Yeah, sorry about that.
	It's all right.
	Don't prep like Pitner, I mean.
	Noah, I got your book.
	Do you have a section in there?
	There are some of us who live in an HOA community, so you have a section in there on a sample letter that you would write your HOA to build your ARC? That's a great question.
	I don't have that, but I should put that in there because it's funny enough, actually, back in Ohio where we lived, we were in this kind of like a nicer neighborhood, but it was a neighborhood that had a lot of land to it.
	And at one point, I think it was because of me, because I was in this nice neighborhood of doctors and lawyers.
	You come to my house, I've got construction supplies everywhere.
	I've got a tractor.
	I'm out there in a tank top.
	I turned my front yard into gardens.
	I had chickens.
	I think I pissed off all the neighbors.
	They tried to form an HOA because of me.
	Oh, that's great.
	Yeah.
	So I went to the neighborhood meeting where they're saying, okay, look, we want to form an HOA. And a lot of them expressed anger towards me for having chickens and a rooster.
	And my response to them is they said, look, I said HOAs are like communism.
	They're really good in theory until you realize that someone else is taking charge.
	I said, so I don't support communism and I'm sure as hell not supporting an HOA. That was my stance at the meeting.
	But I should, though.
	I should have a guide for people that are in HOAs, which could be, hey, raise quail in your garage if you have to.
	Maybe you can have a chicken coop, but hey, you can have pets in your garage, can't you?
	So you can get quail, you raise them in your garage.
	There's ways you can get around that.
	But I also think that At a certain point, if things start really going south, those HOA rules are going to go out the way.
	Who cares about those things?
	Well, I know when I installed my HOA after we interviewed Jim Gale, my HOA gave me a real hard time.
	They wouldn't approve it until I got legal.
	And it was just slightly legal.
	It's just I knew who to talk to to be able to write the letter.
	And we wrote a very stern letter that cited case law in Florida about Permaculture.
	And we were able to get it passed.
	So I do think there is an opportunity for you because we do speak with a lot of viewers who do live in HOA. So sometimes it's just not as easy as clicking your heels and installing a food forest or becoming self-sufficient, decentralizing.
	So maybe it is something to consider to be able to...
	And I'd be happy to be...
	To show you the letter that I wrote, I know it's just for people in Florida, it'll work every time, but it could be expanded elsewhere as well, I'm sure.
	That's very helpful.
	This is why, you know, Seth, you just mentioned you've relocated in the last year or whatever it has been.
	I believe that choosing a location is critical in all of this, and I've spoken about this a lot.
	Todd, you're in a red county in a red state.
	You've got Governor DeSantis.
	Politically, your risk is very low.
	You're in an HOA, but you've conquered that situation.
	A lot of other people are in far more risky situations.
	And one of my predictions is that we're going to see refugees in America.
	Refugees in America.
	And I think it's not that far away, especially if we get into some of this kinetic conflict and states versus the Trump administration that we talked about earlier.
	You're going to see people having to flee areas because they're turned into, effectively, gang zones or illegal staging zones or war zones.
	I mean, we actually saw some of this with all these Haitians being dropped off in certain towns, and a lot of the Americans there are having to leave because they don't get free rent.
	They have to pay for rent, and the rents are all hiked up, so we're seeing displacements.
	But the last place you want to be Is on the road during any kind of crisis.
	You do not want to be on the road.
	That's where death is imminent.
	You want to hunker down someplace, and like what you're doing, Seth, you want to know the neighbors, you want to have each other's back, you want to have those relationships established beforehand so that you can help protect each other.
	But, you know, time is growing short to establish that.
	Weren't you even worried about how late in the game it was for you to move?
	Oh, gosh, yeah, we were freaking out.
	But, you know, one thing that I do address in the book is, you know, people, like, let's just say, you know, because I see the comments sometimes when I'm doing a show on preparedness, and I'll see the comment that says, I'm a single mom, like, living paycheck to paycheck, living in a small apartment in the city.
	What can I do?
	It's a very fair question.
	Not everyone can afford to go buy 10 acres out in the wilderness, let alone look at the housing prices, etc.
	So what I recommend for those people is, hey, here's what I do.
	A, skills are free.
	And they're very valuable in a grid-down scenario or in a disaster scenario.
	So learn how to mend clothes, learn animal husbandry, learn how to prepare food.
	But ultimately, one thing I say too is that, hey, say you live in a city, go back to Ohio as an example, or Texas, say you live in Dallas, And you're worried, okay, go 30 miles outside the city, go to the local farm market, find a farmer, connect with him, see how close he is.
	Ask him, say, hey, can I come volunteer on your farm once a week?
	I'd love to come volunteer once a week.
	I'll do whatever it is.
	I'll shovel crap.
	Whatever it is, I'd love to come volunteer.
	A lot of farmers would say, well, gosh, sure, I'd love to have an extra hand.
	Build a relationship with a farmer.
	And then if there's a scenario where, and I agree, Mike, you don't want to be on the road, but if you can read the tea leaves and you sense things are getting really, really rough or the situation that happens, you set that up.
	So what you do is you show up at that farmer's doorstep and you say, look, I left the city.
	I've got my kids.
	I'm worried about their survival.
	I will come.
	I will work for free.
	I'll sleep in your barn if I have to.
	Right?
	So those are the different solutions for that.
	Or bring a tent.
	Camp out on the farm.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Great idea.
	Right.
	Seth, that is awesome advice.
	Absolutely.
	You can make those relationships right now.
	You can learn skills right now.
	And frankly, you could just watch YouTube and learn all kinds of skills.
	YouTube, the one good thing that YouTube has going for it is all these DIY videos.
	Yeah.
	You know, I wish we had a way to catalog all the DIY videos because I'm using YouTube doing electrical work or plumbing work or all the things around my house, repairing a hydraulic cylinder on a tractor, by the way.
	I don't know how to do that.
	YouTube knows how to do that, you know?
	So, yeah, learn the skills.
	Todd, you want to comment on that?
	And I think so much of it is just making the decision to do it, that just do it thing, right?
	Yeah, that's the hard part.
	And not fearing it and exercising that muscle of self-sufficiency.
	And I mean, it is amazing when you just do it, when you just start and you're like, I mean, Lord, I didn't know anything about food forestry a little over a year ago.
	Installed one and nature kind of tells me what I need to learn real quickly.
	You know, when my German Shepherd breaches into the food forest and ruins it, I learned how to install a fence by myself.
	You know what I mean?
	And how to repair it and how to be able to prune.
	And you make mistakes.
	And you learn from them.
	But it is a form of discovery, no matter what you're doing.
	And it's very, very exciting.
	So it's kind of like, in a weird kind of way, when this hurricane was coming, I was a little disappointed at Man, this is going to sound bad.
	But I was a little disappointed that it wasn't as bad as it was because I was so darn prepared for if it really did hit the fan.
	You know what I mean?
	I know that sounds horrible.
	And I don't wish that on anybody.
	Dude, I think your house was only like 10 miles an hour wind speed away from being blown away.
	I mean, you were right on the edge.
	Your roof is destroyed.
	Oh yeah, it totally.
	It totaled my roof.
	And by the way, there's a certain insurance company out there that has an S and an F in it.
	And I'm telling you, the F doesn't stand for farm.
	It stands for FU? Is that what it is?
	It's amazing how you pay so much into the insurance system, and then at the end, all they want to do is be able to battle you so they don't have to pay.
	It's disgusting, actually.
	So, yeah, it's really fun.
	My point was...
	I mean, you were very close to the edge of survivability because the way that storm rolled through, the north side of that storm had the highest winds, and that's exactly where your house was located.
	A hundred mile an hour wind, Gus.
	And as you know, I, off of my balcony in the back, I was recording before, during, and after.
	And The during part was when that 100 mile an hour gust came, and knowing that 100 tornadoes in Florida had touched down already, I didn't know if that howl I was hearing was from the wind gust or from a tornado.
	It scared the you know what out of me to where I went right down into our central pantry.
	with my wife and dogs and and it was very scary and that was just a hundred miles an hour a wind gust I couldn't imagine a category four or five I really couldn't it's so scary so from now on Now on, I've always kind of poo-pooed these things, but if it is going to be a 4 or a 5, my calculus might be a little differently about heading north.
	Seth, isn't it true that these natural disasters help us drill and practice the skills that we're going to need anyway?
	Absolutely.
	Well, and that's the thing is that drilling and practicing is key.
	It's like owning a gun but never shooting it.
	It's like owning a thousand seeds but never planting one.
	And that was, you know, when my wife and I, we left New York City, it was back in 2020 time, right?
	Because it was right, you know, right actually before COVID hit.
	So we were living in a kind of luxury high-rise in this area.
	There were a lot of Chinese students.
	This was back in late 2019.
	And all of a sudden, all the Chinese were wearing masks.
	And I was like, this is strange.
	So I'd get in an elevator and there's six other Chinese all wearing a mask.
	This is like December 2019.
	And so we saw the writing on the wall and we were following you and all kinds of other people that were talking about these things.
	And so that was one of the signs of like, okay, it's time to get out of here.
	But so the next year we were back in Ohio, we built on some gardening before, but we built some garden beds, some raised beds and we started.
	And so it was practicing though, because the person thinks that they have a pack of seeds, they can survive.
	It's like woefully ignorant to the fact that there's a good chance your plants won't make it to the end.
	They won't produce food.
	There's going to be bugs you didn't realize you were going to have.
	All kinds of issues, not to mention soil quality.
	You can't just go dig a hole in your lawn and plant and accept there to be nutrients to grow.
	So getting into permaculture, building food forests, building food guilds where you've got things like you're planting comfrey, for instance, which is a miracle plant that will actually bring nutrients up into your garden.
	It has this deep, deep taproot that will bring nutrients up into your plants.
	Even things like that, companion planting, planting onions and chives by your apple trees, planting wild horseradish near your other trees.
	So learning all those things, it was trial and error for us.
	And even the first chicken coop I built, right?
	So my first chicken coop I built, which I'm pretty sure, as funny as it is, I'm pretty sure that Babylon Bee wrote an article about me building my chicken coop.
	No way.
	Oh, I'm serious.
	Mike, I'll send it to you.
	It was something about how dad builds $5,000 chicken coop to get 17 cent eggs for free.
	Yeah.
	Because I was talking about a lot of my show, and I think one of the writers must have been a fan of the show, because it was exactly me.
	That's funny.
	I was in a pair of Birkenstocks working, stupid me.
	I came from the city.
	I grew up in the country in Ohio.
	I lost a lot of that living in New York City.
	I dropped a four-by-eight sheet of three-quarter-inch plywood square on my bare toes.
	Oh, gosh.
	I broke some toes.
	And then, you know, a couple weeks later, I was repairing the roof of my chicken coop.
	I had my eight-foot ladder with my drill on top.
	Forgot the drill was up there.
	Looking up, I moved my ladder.
	My drill came down, knocked out my front tooth, completely snapped I didn't have, so I had to cancel my show for a couple of days because I looked like an idiot.
	And I'd whistle when I tried talking because the air was coming out my tooth.
	So I went through this painful process and it was that times a million, but it was trial and error, but that's how we learned.
	And so now that's why I'm now, you know, our chicken coop is a fortress.
	I think a bear wouldn't be able to get into it.
	It's on a slab of concrete, so I'm not dealing with weasels coming up and wiping out my entire flock.
	I built a firewood shed that holds about six or seven cords of firewood.
	But that's the thing, though, is you have to get your hands dirty.
	You have to trial and error.
	Again, going back to Mike, you're very proficient with firearms.
	If you have a shotgun, but you've never used it, Good luck defending yourself at night when you're stressed when there's a burglar coming into your house.
	Like, you have to practice these things.
	You have to live.
	You have to live exactly what you believe your core values to be.
	And, you know, these skills, it's really critical to practice these skills beforehand so that you can perform these skills safely.
	You just mentioned a couple of accidents.
	You know, I almost severed my index finger almost two years ago on my ranch.
	And fortunately, you know, with natural health, we know how to heal those things.
	But chainsaws, you know, there are more accidents with chainsaws than any other single tool.
	And, you know, people cut themselves on their foreheads and, of course, they cut their legs open with chainsaws all the time.
	But the other thing is you saw a piece of wood and you don't properly consider gravity and what's going to happen and the flexibility of wood and how this is going to fall and move and so on.
	And just gathering firewood can kill you, you know, if you don't know what you're doing.
	So practicing all these skills is absolutely critical to staying alive during hard times.
	And like you said, you're out in Birkenstocks.
	Yeah, you know, a person, you can't just go out and try to survive wearing sandals and no gloves and no eye protection and think like, okay, I'm just going to be a man now and I'm just going to like use these high-powered tools and see what happens.
	You know, you're going to get your eyes poked out.
	You know?
	That's...
	It's rough, man.
	Well, it's funny because my dad is a good example.
	So he was an Eagle Scout.
	He did all kinds of nature stuff.
	Very proficient, very handy guy.
	But when he was younger, he put an axe into his foot because he was chopping wood wrong.
	That was one lesson he had.
	And then even when he was older, maybe 10 years ago or maybe 20 years ago, he was clearing wood for a friend of ours.
	And he cut a tree down and realized there was a dead tree leaning up against it.
	The dead tree slid down the tree he cut down, took out his knee.
	So he had to have reconstructive surgery on his knee, and he was laid up on the couch for about a month and a half because of that.
	So if that happens, in a normal scenario where we've got functioning hospitals, it still sucks.
	But if you don't have that, you're never walking again.
	I mean, if you don't have...
	The preparedness to deal with these things, even a small cut, if you don't know how to properly disinfect it, if you don't have colloidal silver, if that thing gets infected, if you don't have a store of antibiotics, if you don't know natural ways, natural antibiotics, then a single cut could be the thing that ends your life.
	We talked about water earlier.
	One of the biggest ways that people die during the disaster scenarios is by cholera or waterborne diseases because they're drinking from the river that there's 10 dead bodies upstream in and then they're dying.
	So these are critical skills that we have to have.
	And actually, oftentimes, it's not the bad guy that comes and shoots you that kills you.
	It's the little cut from a rusty nail that gets infected that that's what kills you in these situations.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Yeah.
	What are we drinking for dinner?
	Corpus tea.
	Yeah, actually.
	Something doesn't taste right about this.
	All right.
	Aside from being a little bit gruesome, this has been filled with a lot of really practical information.
	And Seth, I want to thank you for taking the time to join us and discuss all of this.
	I want to give out your website again, preplikenoha.com, right?
	Yeah, so if you want to sign up to get the book when it comes out, again, it's free.
	We're also giving away a bunch of survival food so that they'll get a chance of winning that.
	But the key is that they'll get the book emailed to them.
	And my goal is to get it to as many people as possible because I really feel like it's part of Yeah.
	Yeah.
	you know, be able to give people the tools that they need to survive whatever's coming.
	So yeah, you know, preplikenoa.com is where they can go to get the book.
	It'll be emailed to them once it's finished, which probably, you know, I'm dealing with Obviously, that was a big, you know, kind of big idea, a six-hour live stream for that and a lot of preparation coming into the election.
	So I'll be getting back to the book, though, probably within the next couple of weeks or a month or so, we'll have that book finished up.
	But people can sign up today, though.
	That way, as soon as it is ready, it goes straight to their email when it's done.
	Okay.
	So before Christmas, for sure.
	Oh, absolutely.
	Yeah.
	Now that I'm focusing heavy on it again, so I should be able to finish it within the next couple of weeks or so.
	Okay, awesome.
	Todd, your final thoughts about our discussion today?
	Yeah, my final thought is just a quick question, if you could quickly answer, Seth, and that's, I want to unpack your Man in America tagline.
	How did that moniker come about?
	The soul of America is under attack.
	Or just the name Man in America?
	Okay, yeah, Man in America.
	Oh, yeah, it's funny because, gosh, this was probably, it was probably, it was 2020 in the summer, so before the election, and this is, you know, General Flynn talked about digital soldiers and talked about the importance of independent media.
	And my wife and I were talking and we were kind of talking.
	I was like, well, I think I should start a podcast and start talking about these things.
	And I said, but who am I though?
	I'm just some man in America.
	And my wife was like, that's it.
	Man in America.
	Right?
	And that's the idea.
	It's not the Seth Whole House show.
	It's just Man in America.
	Both of you are just Man in America.
	That's the idea.
	It's the men in America.
	Obviously, I'm speaking to everybody in America, but I'm just the average guy that built a studio, started broadcasting, and this is what it is.
	It also gets into a different discussion, which is the importance of citizen media.
	The importance of, look at this election.
	They call it the podcast presidency for Trump.
	So it's so important that in a lot of ways that you could say it's a civic duty.
	Not everyone should do it.
	People have different skills, but I think if people feel the calling, they should be doing what you guys are doing.
	Get in front of a camera, start talking.
	Because as the mainstream media collapses, which is what's happening, there's going to be a giant vacuum that our voices need to fill because people need folks like me that aren't backed by Pfizer.
	Telling them, don't go get that COVID vaccine.
	It's going to potentially kill you.
	I forgot to tell you, today's show was brought to you by Pfizer.
	Can you imagine, Seth, that if Kamala would have won, you would have, over the next four years, had to change that to, I self-identify as a man in America.
	That would be a way different logo than you have set up right now.
	Maybe a man in America.
	Yes.
	Exactly.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, that's a great origin story there.
	And we appreciate you, Seth.
	And thank your wife also for all that you're doing together.
	And thank her for supporting our store as well.
	And just keep doing what you're doing.
	We'll get together again soon.
	And it's just been a pleasure having you here today.
	Oh, thank you.
	Actually, one final shameless plug is that I'm putting out four or five shows a week.
	I'm not quite as prolific as you are, Mike, but doing 10 shows a day, it seems.
	No!
	But I've got four or five shows every week comes out.
	There's no paywall.
	Rumble, Brighteon, a great place.
	So any place that you find Mike's podcast, search for Man in America, you'll find my podcast as well.
	Okay, awesome.
	And maninamerica.com also is your main website.
	Yes, sir.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Perfect.
	So what we'll do is we're going to take a quick break.
	Todd and I will come back with a little bit of what we call an after-party discussion.
	But Seth, it's been a pleasure having you today.
	Thank you so much for joining us, and we'll talk again soon.
	All right.
	Thank you both.
	You're both fine gentlemen.
	I'll say it again because I believe you're both fine gentlemen.
	Strike two.
	Strike two.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Thank you, Seth.
	Thank you.
	All right.

	Okay.

	Should we take a fine five?
	Let's take a fine five.
	We'll come back and we'll have a fine after party.
	Awesome.
	Sound good?
	All right.
	Okay.

	All right, welcome back, folks, to the after-party discussion.
	And Todd, you know, look, our guests just keep getting better.
	You know, Seth is amazing.
	I love his message.
	He's just so informed, so easy to talk to.
	We've got to have him back.
	We have to have him back, and I'm amazed, like Joel Salatin being tapped by the Trump administration, right?
	Yeah.
	So I wonder, where's Seth going to go?
	Where's he in the administration?
	Because now the bar is set.
	Every one of our guests needs to be placed somewhere, Mike.
	Well...
	It's wild because about six people that I know and have interviewed have been tapped by the Trump administration.
	It's amazing.
	Including Michael Yan, by the way.
	They want his help on securing the open border situation.
	Wow!
	Yeah, and there's another man I know.
	I'm not sure if he wants to go public with it yet, who I have interviewed, who's being tapped for USDA. And they may...
	Want my lab to be involved in helping to test soils for bio sludge contamination.
	That's great.
	Yeah, we may end up donating lab time because, you know, you can trust us on it.
	We're not going to hide the results like maybe the EPA would.
	No, that's amazing.
	It is just a crazy chain of events that, I don't know, I'm back to my favorite vice of smoking hopium.
	Well, you know, and this gets to our interview today.
	It's great to have optimism about the future.
	You know, you can take a toke of hopium, I suppose.
	But at the end, what if that's not the way this goes?
	Yeah, what if it's that fake left-go-right?
	And you know what?
	With who we're dealing with, it's not if, it's likely when, Mike.
	I think so.
	I think we're headed into a time of incredible existential chaos for this country.
	And also even on a global scale.
	If you think about it, the U.S. is fighting for dollar dominance around the world.
	And it's losing that fight.
	It's losing that fight.
	The dollar's days are numbered.
	They are.
	When the dollar collapses, you know...
	You're going to see...
	I mean, if you think it's bad after this election with people's world being shattered, wait till they lose their pensions, their bank accounts, all the value of their stocks and treasuries.
	When that's lost, this country is going to...
	I can't even describe the anarchy that's coming.
	I agree.
	It's right around the corner.
	That's why you have to prep like Noah.
	That's why you have to be a food prepper, a food forest prepper.
	You have to be a financial prepper, Mike, and do smart things.
	And that's what it's all about.
	And it's kind of like right now...
	Precious metals have taken a little bit of a dive and it is so amazing how people don't appreciate this, you know, buy low, sell high.
	This is exactly the time that you dollar cost average into these assets.
	Totally.
	Not when things are going where the VIX scale is so high and in the red and people are so afraid that all of a sudden the gold is $4,000 an ounce.
	You know, I'm joking.
	But right now is when you take a deep breath and you say, ah, okay.
	Here's a little brief.
	Let's go get us.
	Totally.
	Gold and silver are going to keep on climbing, as far as I can tell, as the dollar loses value.
	But I'm glad you mentioned Prep Like Noah, because I think that's a great name.
	Seth really came up with a great name.
	And I look forward to his book, to seeing his book.
	But he told me a secret off camera.
	The original title was Prep Like Noah and Party Like Diddy.
	But his wife talked him out of that title.
	He's like, no, you can't do that.
	So he just went with prep like Noah.
	Well, Noah kind of did party like Diddy.
	Noah drank like Diddy, for sure.
	Or no, it was which one of his sons was partying like Diddy.
	Anyway, it doesn't matter.
	Yeah, it doesn't matter at this point.
	But yeah, do not party like Diddy, but definitely prep like Noah.
	Speaking of prepping, I want to just invite you here right away to talk about your offer, which is your...
	As part of you being on the show, you always have an opportunity to plug what you're involved with here.
	The vehicle that you offer people is really critical, I think, for financial preparedness, given what's coming.
	Can you talk about what that is?
	I'll bring up your website.
	Yeah, it's my575e.com, and I would tell you that my form of activism is to help others keep more of what they earn.
	I learned about this entity that is very, very undiscovered.
	It is called an Unincorporated Nonprofit Association.
	You can learn about it at my575e.com.
	I invite you to go there, and there's a 90-minute interview where I interview a man named Dennis Gray who is 81 years old.
	He has been helping people acquire these for 34 years.
	He's helped over a thousand people.
	I got mine from Dennis five years ago and the tax advantages are real.
	It is one of these things to where I have to keep sharing with people.
	The only thing this is not is too good to be true.
	And as things are evolving, those of you who are into crypto, you're going to want to investigate this further because there's a real opportunity here to disassociate Your crypto from your social security number, you, into your UNA's EIN number.
	And Mike, I just got a report from one of our members.
	One of the things everybody knows, if you acquire a UNA, you get invited to a private telegram group.
	There are over 50 of us in there, and there are so many cool people.
	Not an NPC in the group.
	And I just had a celebration in there where a gentleman, I had helped him be able to get an account with Kraken for his UNA. It took him over six weeks to do this.
	You go back and forth.
	But Dennis and I have a cheat sheet of what they're going to ask and how you respond and everything.
	And he came in and he said, I got mine.
	Now, what does that mean?
	That means that if you end up selling your crypto And you off-ramp to your personal bank account, your social security number connected bank account, that's capital gains.
	You're going to be taxed accordingly.
	However, if you off-ramp it to your EIN, UNA number, Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, they're considered reserves.
	Those are not subject to the same tax.
	So I'm just telling you, if not anything else, go to my575e.com, watch the 90-minute interview with Dennis, download the instructional PDF, and if you have any other questions, You can book a half hour with me.
	It is $150 because I treasure my time and I don't want anyone wasting it, but everybody who has done that, when they get a UNA, and it's usually when, not if, I just tell them to discount it, send it $150 less, wire it $150 less, or I will sell them $150.
	It's not about the $150.
	I want to answer your questions, but I have to be smart about my time allocation.
	But this is changing people's lives.
	If you are a W-9 income earner, it would be irresponsible not to go at least get educated.
	If you're a W-2 earner, same thing.
	You can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income with donations to your UNA. It's magical, Mike.
	Well, you know, the tax laws are really written very favorably for nonprofit associations and organizations.
	And even, like, I founded a church, and the church also shares a lot of similar properties in the tax code, you know, for example.
	But if you look at all the big nonprofits out there, like Susan G. Komen, It's a non-profit organization that actually shares the same benefits as what you're talking about.
	Yeah, the difference is, Mike, mine is accessible to normal people.
	Instead of having an army of accountants and lawyers and whatnot, these are so affordable to be able to start saving.
	Again, there isn't enough money in this for it to be my primary form of income.
	It's my form of activism.
	And I love it.
	And it is when you get into that private telegram group, you'll see the chemistry in there and how people are celebrating.
	I mean, it's just really, really cool.
	Okay.
	Okay, well, so one question for you, but by the way, there's so many acronyms here with the UNA and so on.
	I think we should have a bumper sticker that says, my HOA is run by NPCs.
	So, you know, we should start with that.
	But what happens if Trump makes good on his promise?
	Well, he hasn't promised it yet, technically, but he's going to look at it, apparently.
	What if he ends the personal income tax at the federal level?
	What would that mean for your My575E?
	You would have way more money to be able to smoke your hopium if you think that's ever gonna happen.
	But let's say, let's war game it out and say it does.
	There are other huge benefits with a UNA, which is you can donate your home to it to where it is so protective of it, even if you had to file bankruptcy, Nobody can touch it.
	So it's also a way to kind of segment assets.
	Oh, 100%.
	There are, in the PDF that people can download, there are 32 positive attributes of operating your own UNA. Wow.
	And so it's not just the tax advantages associated with it.
	So I've put a lot of effort into being able to help educate people, Mike.
	Yeah, you have.
	And by the way, everybody, if you have not watched our previous interview with Joshua Hale, please do go to decentralized.tv and watch that interview.
	He's the entrepreneur who helped me launch My575E, and we talk more about the My575E in there, but I've had so many people Book with me, the half hour, who have said that they have also reached out to Joshua because they've had this entrepreneurial idea, and we on that show have unleashed, unleashed that energy, Mike.
	I mean, Joshua's calling me, thanking me.
	So it's really a great interview.
	You know, part of decentralizing your life is getting off of a corporate paycheck.
	And being able to run your own business and control your own finances, have your own revenue streams, right?
	Yes.
	This is really a key part of getting off-grid, if you will.
	And decentralized entrepreneurialism means, historically, we would have had to raise a lot of money to be able to hire all of the people who have the right skill sets.
	Chief marketing officer, chief financial officer, you know, operators.
	And with AI rightly leveraged, it doesn't have to be evil, it can be a very positive force as well, to where you eliminate the need, you still have the, you can tap into that type resource, but you don't have to fund all of these individual salaries that make it impossible for anyone to realize their entrepreneurial dream these days.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I think people also need to consider the risk of the fact that a lot of these centralized systems, corporations are going broke.
	Lots of chains are shutting down and governments are going broke and our government, our federal government, will be broke when the dollar collapses.
	And so it's kind of like...
	deliberately decentralize yourself right now from a really centralized income stream by building your own business.
	Joshua Hale helps people sort of make those business dreams a reality.
	But think about it.
	You don't have to earn as much if you have more control over what you do earn and you can put it to use in the right ways in more efficient ways because you have control over it.
	And you can lawfully operate it within an entity that lets you keep more of what you earn.
	There you go.
	I think, by the way, Todd, I've said this publicly, I think not only should Trump Shut down the IRS. Just completely banished the whole thing.
	It's a scam.
	They don't need our money to fund the government when they can print money.
	They just print money anyway.
	Why do they need to take it from us?
	And But more importantly, they should refund the last five years of income taxes, at least at a personal level.
	I'm not saying corporate taxes yet at the moment, even though I understand corporate taxes.
	It's just a pass-through to higher product costs.
	But at least at the personal level, they should refund the last five years of taxes.
	And you want to talk about economic stimulus.
	Could you imagine?
	Imagine people getting five years of tax refunds of all the taxes they paid.
	Now, of course, prices would go up because now there's a lot more circulating money.
	But hey, they're going to print the dollar into oblivion anyway.
	They should give it back to us so we can buy something useful.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, I think so, Mike.
	It's going to be exciting the next, well, the next four minutes, four days, four years.
	Yeah, it is going to be really interesting, that's for sure.
	All right, so my575e.com, that's your website.
	And I'm really glad that you have been pursuing this.
	I want to bring up now, the Satellite Phone Store is the sponsor here, sat123.com, but they have a new line of these bags that I mentioned earlier.
	So cool.
	And by the way, do we have some of those bags here in the studio?
	Can...
	Tina gave me one of these backpacks and it's it's it's got a bulletproof panel in it it's a level 3a plus so it's bulletproof and it's got four faraday uh bags in it like four faraday sections all right so in here you can kind of see like this this is a ballistic panel that i'm tapping here oh hey there roadie how you doing you want to eat the backpack Yeah?
	Time to eat the backpack?
	It's a ballistic panel.
	It's bulletproof.
	It's also a roadie proof.
	Alright, it's okay.
	Just sit.
	Just sit.
	It's got some multiple...
	Oh, he's ready to play.
	But look at this.
	Here's another Faraday...
	Oh, here.
	Let me show it to that camera.
	Here's another Faraday section right here.
	And so on and so forth.
	You get the idea.
	There's multiple sections in here.
	This is like super durable ballistic, I would call it, you know, military grade, mil-spec type of material.
	And good boy, Rhodey.
	He's ready to play.
	This is all available at healthrangerstore.com slash escape.
	And it's not just the backpack, you know, it's the shoulder bag, the laptop bag, tablet bag, and also some other things such as, you know, sleeves, pouches for your mobile devices, mobile phones, and it protects you because it's an EMF, right?
	EMF shield material.
	So it protects your privacy.
	They can't scan your location when your phone is in this.
	So if you had your phone in one of these on January 6th, They wouldn't have been able to track that you were even there, and they wouldn't be kicking in your doors and arresting you just for being there, being a peaceful protester.
	So this is a way to protect your privacy, protect your electronics, protection from EMP attacks and solar flares, and also ballistic protection.
	So all of that's available now.
	HealthRangerStore.com slash escape.
	And you can also find them at SAT123.com with the satellite phones and the backup power supplies and everything else.
	So...
	Very cool stuff.
	That's our official sponsor of the show today.
	Todd, I know you have a satellite phone.
	I know!
	I used it during the hurricane to communicate with you.
	Do you carry it in your car?
	Do you take it with you?
	What do you do with it?
	I haven't lately because there just hasn't been any kind of weather event or anything.
	And you know, I've been traveling.
	I'm I went up to Kansas, so I didn't mess with it.
	I probably should have.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Bring it.
	Everywhere you go, bring it in your car, just in case everything goes bad.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I mean, I need to exercise that muscle.
	That's true.
	It was great for the hurricane and the tragedy and the potential tragedy, but I need to just make it part of my life.
	Okay, absolutely.
	Well...
	I'm so glad that we both have this preparedness, and we can share it with our audience, and Seth is well prepared as well.
	And I just want to encourage folks, even if you can't afford...
	Like, none of this stuff is inexpensive.
	Like, you know, the satellite phones...
	Obviously, there's a cost associated with this.
	But even if you don't have spare money, you can learn skills for free, like Seth said.
	You can practice skills for free.
	And that has value.
	You can trade skills for food.
	You can trade skills for shelter in a crisis scenario.
	Even if you own nothing, you can have skills that obviously stay with you as you're mobile, and that can help you survive.
	So everybody can do something to be prepared and to be more decentralized.
	And that's the theme of the show.
	It is, because decentralized solutions are going to get us to the other side of all of this, Mike.
	That's right, 100%.
	All right, Todd, well, thank you for joining us today.
	This has been another fantastic show, one of many, and many more yet to come.
	But we appreciate you, Todd.
	Thanks for being here today.
