	Alright, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Thursday, November 14th, 2024.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Of course, thank you for joining me today.
	We've got some good news to start off with.
	And just as context, reminding you, I'm not going to dwell on every little detail of the political situation because, well, you and I are rising above that.
	We are transcending that, in essence, understanding that government is not our savior.
	Trump is not our savior.
	And as long as government is huge, it's a danger to all of us, right?
	But there's a changing of the guard.
	And as much as I have expressed a lot of dissatisfaction, we'll say, with some of Trump's picks, he made a pick today that is extraordinary.
	And that is Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
	So, Matt Gaetz, this choice is causing heads to explode, not just in a deep state, but across the rhinos and the plains of Africa where the rhinos roam.
	The GOP is freaking out.
	Half the senators are losing their minds.
	Why is that?
	Because Matt Gaetz, it turns out, and this was a surprise for me that he was nominated, he is exactly the right person to do exactly what needs to be done in this role, which is what?
	Oh, prosecute the traitors.
	Prosecute the election riggers.
	Prosecute Mayorkas, who ran the invaders into the United States.
	Prosecute the deep state members who signed onto the Russia collusion hoax or who covered up the Hunter Biden laptop evidence.
	There are a lot of people to prosecute.
	Prosecute big tech executives that are complicit in the illegal censorship of the American people.
	Prosecute FDA officials and Fauci.
	Who pushed a deadly depopulation jab onto the American people and lied about it the entire time.
	In fact, there's a long list of people who need to be prosecuted.
	And as you may know, Ivan Raiklin, who I've interviewed several times, calls himself the Secretary of Retribution, which is a pretty funny name.
	He's got the list of who should be arrested and who should be prosecuted.
	I am sure that Ivan is happy to hand that list over to Matt Gaetz.
	And I would imagine that, I'm just guessing, I think Ivan Raiklin probably knows Matt Gaetz because Ivan knows a lot of high-level people.
	And Matt Gaetz is about to be elevated to a position of incredible authority within the Trump administration.
	Matt Gaetz has said the following.
	He just posted this.
	Quote, We ought to have a full court press against this weaponized government that has been turned against our people.
	And if that means abolishing every one of the three-letter agencies, from the FBI to the ATF, I'm ready to get going.
	And folks, I can't give that enough applause.
	I can't say enough how amazing it is that we have arrived at this point in history.
	Where a man that is being nominated for the position of Attorney General of the DOJ of the United States of America realizes and is publicly saying that we need to potentially abolish every one of the useless weaponized agencies.
	And they have been weaponized against us.
	And that includes the FDA. Shut down the FDA. Eliminate it.
	Budget to zero.
	Shut down the EPA. It's weaponized against the American people.
	Shut down the FBI. Now, I think, first, make Kash Patel...
	Well, a lot of people call him Kash, but I think the real pronunciation of his name...
	I asked him about this when I interviewed him.
	I said, isn't it really Kash?
	And I think he was open to that.
	But put Kash Patel in charge of the FBI so he can roll in there...
	And just run around the building for days and say, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired.
	Well, he doesn't really talk like that, but you get the idea.
	Pink slips for everybody.
	Fire them all.
	Kosh Patel is, in my opinion, exactly the right person to be nominated as head of FBI. And by the way, Tulsi Gabbard is lining up to be the Director of National Intelligence, the DNI. That's quite interesting, given that the deep state put her on an air travel monitoring and surveillance list.
	Every time she boarded a plane, they had federal agents board the plane with her surreptitiously to keep an eye on her and make sure she didn't do anything fishy.
	I mean, seriously, that's how insane the deep state has become in this country.
	And it is time to dismantle the deep state and, as Matt Gaetz says, abolish every one of the three-letter agencies.
	That's a quote.
	That's a quote from Matt Gaetz.
	And I didn't even finish the list.
	We're talking about the ATF, the DEA, the CDC, the NIH, and there's also some five-letter agencies like the NIAID, which is what Fauci ran.
	We need to abolish that, too.
	I think we shouldn't limit the abolishing to just three-letter agencies.
	I think we should abolish four-letter agencies, such as the USDA. And then let's go for some five-letter agencies, like NIAID. And do I hear a call for six-letter agencies?
	Are there any six-letter agencies that need to be abolished?
	Well, I'm sure we can find some.
	And what we all need to understand is that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do something like this.
	And as much as I have been warning about what I describe as the inevitable collapse of the U.S. empire, and I've said publicly that I don't think Trump can stop this, when I start to hear that People like Matt Gaetz are being nominated for this position.
	Now, he's not confirmed yet, by the way.
	We'll talk about that.
	But just the fact that he's nominated for this position, I'm starting to think, whoa, maybe I'm wrong about this being the end of the empire.
	I mean, if the reforms are truly aggressive enough, and you got to bring in Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy here, right?
	They're going to be Part of the cost-cutting team.
	Department of, what is it?
	Department of Government Efficiency, which is a made-up department, but it's a funny name.
	I made up a name, too.
	The Department of Imaginary Things, and we'll call it DOIT. DOIT! The Department of Imaginary Things.
	Which is mostly what the government actually does, is that they spin their wheels doing things that just exist in their own heads, or they're pushing like transgenderism and grooming of children, LGBT themes.
	That's the Department of Imaginary Things.
	We shouldn't waste time on that.
	But I'm starting to get the sense that maybe I was too pessimistic.
	I mean...
	Look, I'm not convinced yet.
	I mean, we're only in the nomination stage here, and Trump's not even, I mean, it's almost 10 weeks away before he's even sworn in, so let's not put the cart before the horse, right?
	But I'm beginning to open the door just a little sliver to where a little bit of light is coming through the door to the possibility that, hey, maybe, maybe this republic isn't lost.
	Maybe.
	I'm still mostly thinking it's lost, but now, because of the nomination of Matt Gaetz, frankly, I'm starting to think, maybe it's not lost.
	Let's see where this goes.
	Now, of course, we've had some horrific picks by Team Trump, and one of those, in my opinion, is Pete Hegseth.
	For the Secretary of Defense to run the entire military, and he's got some crazy biblical evangelical end times Zionist tattoos that we'll talk about here in a minute.
	That dude's got a very odd end times agenda.
	I'm not too thrilled about him running the military and probably pushing us into war with Iran, which is something I talked about yesterday.
	But I've got more tattoo details for you today.
	We're going to look at Hegseth's Inc., which is pretty...
	That dude, he thinks he's like God's Avenger or something.
	Seriously.
	He's got a bit of a God complex.
	But we'll talk about that in a minute.
	First, we have to get Matt Gaetz confirmed for the position of AG. Now, the U.S. Senate confirms most of the presidential nominations, including the attorney general position with the DOJ. So the president, by nominating Matt Gaetz, who is currently a congressman, well, he was.
	He just resigned, by the way.
	He was a Florida congressman.
	He just resigned that position so that his seat can be filled by Governor DeSantis, by the way, before the January 3rd, which is when the next Congress convenes, right before January 6th, which is when the electoral votes are accepted by Congress.
	So there's a lot of interesting deadlines that have to come together here.
	But anyway, the Senate confirms the AG choice by the president, and that means you have to have 51 votes in the Senate.
	Now, the final makeup of Republicans in the Senate, I don't recall what that's going to be.
	Is it like 54?
	Maybe something very close to that.
	I'd have to check.
	But anyway, it's over 51, but it's not generously over 51.
	Now, here's the question.
	Will 51 senators, and it could be from either party, obviously, will 51 senators approve of Matt Gaetz as attorney general?
	Especially when you have these sellout senators like Texas Senator Cornyn or, what, Lindsey Graham, who I think has already said he won't support Matt Gaetz.
	And these senators, in my view, anybody who won't support Matt Gaetz, I would just call them traitors.
	And I would say they need to be primaried aggressively out of their office positions At the next election, which for quite a few senators is in the midterms, two years away.
	That's true for Cornyn of Texas, by the way.
	That guy is a rhino snake and he needs to be out of office.
	Now, I don't know about Senator Ted Cruz of Texas if he's going to support Matt Gaetz or not.
	I doubt Cruz does support him because Matt Gaetz opposes the anti-Semitism Censorship laws.
	And good for Matt Gaetz because he opposes those laws saying that it would criminalize somebody reading Bible Scripture, for example.
	This is a point that I have made as well.
	And so Adelson, Miriam Adelson, who gave Trump $100 million for his campaign, she doesn't like Matt Gaetz because Matt Gaetz doesn't go along with the Zionist agenda.
	And did you know that Matt Gaetz hasn't taken a dime from AIPAC? And how many members of the House can say that?
	Not very many.
	Thomas Massey also has not taken anything from AIPAC. But most members of the House and the Senate have taken money from AIPAC, including Senator Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham and a bunch of other senators.
	So this is going to be the real question here is, can Matt Gaetz get confirmed by the Senate?
	Especially given that the Senate still has quite a number of rhinos in it who hate Trump.
	They despise Matt Gaetz and their Zionist whores.
	They've already sold out to Israel.
	And so if Adelson gives them the order like, hey, you need to oppose Matt Gaetz, then they will follow orders.
	Sir, yes, sir.
	Well, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
	I guess she's a ma'am.
	So that's the question.
	Can we get Matt Gaetz through confirmation?
	Well, Matt Gaetz is so incredibly popular, and I've watched this on Twitter.
	Matt Gaetz is very popular among Jack Posobiec and even Charlie Kirk, popular among Trump supporters, pro-Liberty supporters, pro-America people, America first people, etc.
	Matt Gaetz is incredibly popular, and so It's going to be quite a fight to see what the Senate does with Matt Gaetz.
	And I would say that you and I need to be very vocal about this.
	Between now and that day, the Senate confirmation hearings day, whenever that is, we need to be very, very vocal.
	And we need to not play tiddlywinks with this, as the saying goes.
	We need to play hardball here.
	We need to play hardball.
	Getting Matt Gaetz into the AG position would be historic.
	And as much as I am frustrated and unhappy with many of Trump's other nominations, such as Senator Marco Rubio to Secretary of State, that's clearly a Zionist Adelson pick.
	See, I think, actually, I think the arrangement between Trump and Adelson I think it's that Trump gets a pick, and then Adelson gets a pick, and then Trump gets another pick, and Adelson gets another pick.
	So Trump picks Matt Gaetz, Adelson picks Marco Rubio for Secretary of State.
	You know, Trump picks like Tulsi Gabbard for D&I, and then Adelson picks like Mike Huckabee for Israeli Ambassador, you know.
	So half of the picks are going to be just hardcore Zionists, if not more than half.
	But the Matt Gaetz pick In my mind, it's so important that it kind of makes up for the other crappy picks that Trump has achieved so far, like Senator Rubio in particular.
	I feel like I can live with this if Matt Gates is AG. Now, I had promoted Ken Paxton, the AG of Texas, for that position.
	I already knew that Senator Cornyn in Texas would strongly oppose Ken Paxton.
	Now, what you need to know about Ken Paxton, who I would say is truly an American hero and a Texas hero.
	Ken Paxton survived a very vicious impeachment attempt by the rhinos in Texas, which is the Bushes and the expert involvement of Karl Rove.
	Yeah.
	And they tried to...
	I mean, they impeached Paxton.
	They impeached him.
	They took him out of office for something like six months.
	I know this because my attorneys and I had a meeting scheduled with Ken Paxton the very morning that he was impeached.
	And that's why that meeting did not happen.
	I mean, Jason Fick, we were all lined up to have that meeting.
	And that was about our free speech lawsuit.
	And we were going to pitch that to Paxton to see if Texas wanted to get on board with the lawsuit.
	He was impeached that very day.
	I think they knew how powerful this lawsuit was going to be.
	We then later filed that lawsuit.
	We filed it on Memorial Day, and that's pending in the federal courts right now.
	And with Trump winning this election, our lawsuit now, the chances of victory have gone up substantially.
	Because of what's coming out in terms of proof of government collusion with big tech on censorship.
	But that's a different conversation.
	But Ken Paxton was impeached that very day.
	And he was out of office for several months while he fought that impeachment.
	And it turns out that the entire impeachment against Ken Paxton was utterly fabricated.
	It was a con job by the Bush Rhinos in Texas.
	And you know why?
	Because Ken Paxton, he was suing Big Pharma, he was suing Big Tech, and he was starting to look into things that the Rhinos didn't want anybody looking into, such as why the borders are really Wide open, including in some places in Texas, you know, the human trafficking, the drug trafficking, the weapons trafficking, and so on.
	The closer you get to the human trafficking topic in this country, the more the establishment tries to either politically destroy you or just physically murder you.
	That's just something to keep in mind.
	So Ken Paxton fought back and he beat that impeachment.
	He beat it.
	It was truly historic.
	And then he reestablished his position as the AG of Texas, and since then he has gone on to fight for the citizens of Texas, and also he's been involved in many important lawsuits against the Biden regime.
	So Ken Paxton is an American hero in my book.
	And that's why I advocated for Paxton to be the AG. However, by the way, Ken Paxton might also potentially be the next governor of Texas.
	And in that role, I think he would be an extraordinary pick.
	Nothing against Abbott, but...
	Eventually, you have a new election, and Paxton is going to be a great pick for Texas, plus we need him as the AG in Texas.
	So anyway, Ken Paxton tweeted out, supporting Matt Gaetz.
	So Paxton's not burned about this.
	He's like, go, Matt Gaetz.
	We'll work with you.
	The AG in Texas will work with the AG in D.C. if it's Matt Gaetz, and together...
	We will prosecute the criminals, the traitors, the traffickers, the child molesters, the pedophiles, the groomers, the mutilators, you know, all of it.
	And I'm thinking, like, I have to pinch myself.
	Am I having a crazy dream?
	Or is this actually happening?
	Well, it's not happening yet.
	Not until we get Matt Gaetz through the Senate.
	But if we do...
	It could be the single most important appointment by Donald Trump of his administration.
	That's how important Matt Gaetz is as AG. So, you know, I've been very outspoken.
	I've been very, very critical about things that I don't like of what Trump is doing.
	You've heard me going into some of the black pilling here on previous podcasts.
	I just want you to know that You know, I recently interviewed Dr.
	Jack Cruz.
	I hope you watched that interview because everybody loved it.
	It's on my channels, on Brighteon and Rumble, etc.
	If you missed it, you'll want to hear that.
	Especially if you want to transform your health and you don't know about light as nutrition, you'll want to hear that interview.
	But one of the things I really appreciate about Dr.
	Jack Cruz, and he's a neurosurgeon.
	He's done 10,000 brain surgeries, okay?
	He's a real doctor who's done real surgeries, and he's a brilliant man.
	He has reached the point in his life, I mean, he reached it a few years ago, and sorry for my profanity, but it is the no bullsh** tipping point of life, and It seems like you have to go through many years of BS and many years of persecution and many years of censorship and many years of injustice in order to reach the no bullshit tipping point.
	At that tipping point, which again, Dr.
	Cruz reached many years ago, he clearly made a decision that he's just going to say what is.
	He's going to call it like it is, and he's not going to invest any money Emotions or time in giving a crap about how other people feel about what he's saying, which is actually a very freeing type of attitude.
	And the reason I mention that is because I have really found myself, especially over the last several weeks, I have found myself in this same place where it's now or never.
	This is history unfolding.
	And I am going to say what is.
	From my best perspective, I'm going to call out people's BS, but I'm also going to congratulate amazingly good things.
	And it may seem kind of polarized.
	There's not a lot of middle ground these days.
	It seems like everybody's either on Team Satan and they want to destroy humanity, or they're on the good guys who actually want to help save humanity.
	I don't see a lot of people in the middle anymore, at least not in positions of power or authority.
	So I'm with Jack Cruz on this.
	I'm not going to self-censor, not like I ever did, but I used to sound maybe a little less aggressive.
	But I'm not going to censor myself, not about Israel, not about the genocide, not about politics, not about elections, not about Trump picks, not about Trump himself.
	I am not going to censor myself about anything.
	Doesn't mean that I'm trying to be a mean person because a lot of what I have to say is actually very positive.
	And you've heard me talk about things like, you know, consciousness and free will, the gift of life and how we choose and co-create our own futures together.
	There's a lot of positivity to be found in this, but I truly believe that really achieving what we want in our lives and what we want for our civilization requires us to have discernment and to call out Call it out, name it, and don't worry how anybody else takes that.
	And don't worry about being smeared in the media or being named or labeled this or that by whatever group.
	Doesn't matter a bit.
	This is the time to speak courageously, righteously, with a pro-humanity attitude.
	Doesn't mean you have to Be mean and snarky to everybody, but also don't let anything slide.
	Just call it out.
	So that's what I'm doing when it comes to these appointments.
	So when I see somebody like Matt Gaetz, and I know quite a bit about the history of Matt Gaetz, things that have not been made public, for example, like one of my friends was in Washington, D.C. one day, and he's...
	He's a modern-day prophet, by the way, and he caught Matt Gaetz walking between buildings.
	I don't know if it was between votes or whatever.
	Matt Gaetz was just, he came out of the Capitol building, and he was walking down the sidewalk.
	And my friend, he started video recording, and he just walks up to Matt Gaetz and says, you know, Representative Gaetz, can I pray for you, brother?
	And I think Gates said, absolutely, as long as you don't mind that I have to keep walking, I have to get to this thing.
	And so my friend just prayed for him.
	I forgot all the words that he used, but it was basically like, dear God, in the name of Jesus, give power to this man, Representative Gates.
	He's going to do great things for this country.
	And Matt Gates, he took it in.
	He accepted that.
	He accepted a stranger just walking up to him and praying for him.
	He didn't reject the guy.
	He didn't call security.
	And I don't think this video has been made public.
	I don't think anybody else ever heard about this.
	But my friend sent me the video.
	Maybe he posted it.
	I doubt it.
	But he sent me the video, so I saw the video.
	And Matt Gaetz was very cordial, even though he was very busy.
	He took time to be human.
	And that's just one example.
	You're going to see the entire history of Matt Gaetz scrutinized right now.
	And what you're going to learn is that this is a man who has courage.
	He wants America to succeed.
	He believes in liberty.
	And he's also tired of the BS. He's not going to put up with it anymore.
	So we're all in good company if we have that attitude right now.
	This is the right time in history to have that attitude.
	So I ask for your help.
	I want you to help me help Matt Gaetz get confirmed by the Senate.
	So how can you do that?
	I want you to call your senators.
	If you're an American, obviously.
	Call your senators and call them up.
	Just search for the Capitol switchboard number and then call the number.
	Ask for your senator's office and you'll have to make two phone calls for your two senators.
	And you tell him, I want you to support the confirmation of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.
	Thank you.
	And I want you to call him.
	Do it today or tomorrow.
	Do it at the first opportunity.
	I want us to put incredible grassroots pressure on every senator in America to confirm Matt Gaetz.
	And frankly, to confirm Trump's appointments because there are going to be more appointments coming.
	That the rhinos won't like.
	Maybe it's Kosh Patel for FBI. We don't know what all the appointments are going to be.
	There's going to be a lot more.
	We need to pressure our senators to support that and remind them that you're supposed to represent the will of the people.
	Like our senators here in Texas, they're supposed to represent the people of Texas.
	They're not supposed to represent globalists or Israel.
	Which is what Senator Ted Cruz does.
	He's just a puppet for Israel.
	He's supposed to be serving Texas, for God's sake.
	And by the way, there's a Texas lawmaker.
	I forgot his name.
	He just introduced something in the Texas legislature that would allow Texas to recall senators if they don't reflect the will of the people of Texas.
	And I saw that, and I thought, that is awesome.
	We should use it for Cornyn.
	For sure, use it for Cornyn.
	Ted Cruz, you can kind of work with him.
	But Cornyn is a total rhino sellout.
	We should recall that guy, replace him.
	But anyway, join me in this action item.
	I normally don't, I don't go to bat for politicians very often.
	As you know, if you heard me, I don't do that.
	Matt Gaetz is an exception, and he is an exceptional individual, and he can make history for this nation.
	He can actually potentially put us on the path of saving this republic.
	That's no exaggeration.
	The Trump appointment of Matt Gaetz might be the single most important thing that Trump does in his third term here, because he's won the election three times.
	It might be more important than even the Supreme Court justice nomination.
	Seriously, it's that important.
	So pray for Matt Gaetz, pray for his safety, and support his nomination.
	All right.
	Now, let's talk about someone who I am very worried about, and that's Pete Hegseth.
	Now, Pete Hegseth has been a Fox News commentator for years, eight years or nine years, I don't know.
	Pete Hegseth is, on the good side, he's a veteran, so we honor him for his military service, that's for sure.
	He's a veteran, and one really nice thing about him is that he's an anti-woke military guy.
	So if you put him in charge of the Pentagon and the DOD, then he's going to go in there and clean house.
	He's going to clean out the woke people.
	Which I think is a great idea.
	So I 100% support that.
	Let's get the LGBT letter crowd Q++++, get that focus out of the military.
	We don't need cross-dressing.
	Get that Levine character clown out of there, for God's sake.
	I don't want to see any cross-dressers Lecturing us in military uniforms with, you know, medals and ribbons on their chest, wearing a wig and a push-up bra and high heels when it's a man.
	It's just freaking stupid, okay?
	It's a clown show.
	It makes America's military look retarded.
	The whole world is laughing at America's military right now.
	And Pete Hegseth He would reverse that, at least that aspect of it, because Hexeth himself, he's a very masculine guy, and he believes in family values.
	He believes in protecting children and protecting families and protecting America.
	He believes in all those things.
	So I think that's great.
	Get in there, fire like 5,000 of the most woke morons throughout the whole Pentagon.
	And also, by the way, that'll stop naval ships from running into each other when you get the woke out and you put competent people in charge.
	Or what was it?
	Was it the New Zealand Navy?
	They had a lesbian commander there who ran the ship aground, and I think it sank.
	It's like, oops, there goes your ship.
	Yeah, not good.
	So those are the good parts of Hegseth.
	The things that concern me about Hegseth is, number one, and I've got some videos here.
	I'll bring the receipts.
	We'll play some of this.
	He is an all-out Zionist, and he believes that we should be bombing the smithereens out of Iran.
	And he thinks that America, we should all be Zionists.
	We should support Zionists.
	He says that he can't wait for his children to fight for Israel, which I guess means they're going to die for Israel if Israel even lasts that long.
	Hegseth is a warmonger.
	He is not a man of peace.
	He is a man of war.
	And he's a full-blown Zionist.
	He wants America to go to war with Iran, which means we would be in a nuclear war with Russia pretty quickly after that.
	So this guy, he is like, I mean, as much as he's pro-America and pro-family values, he's also, militarily speaking, he's like an angel of death.
	And he's got crazy tattoos.
	These are like Christian crusader tattoos, but some of them, like he's got Hebrew words tattooed, but he's got this one tattoo.
	I mean, the dude is, he's all tatted up.
	He's got this one tattoo on his arm.
	It's a cross and a sword, and it references a Bible verse.
	Matthew chapter 10, verse 34.
	Now, that verse says the following.
	Pay attention, because when you get this tattooed on your arm, this means you believe this, okay?
	Like, this is your motto.
	You start tattooing stuff on your arms, like Bible verses, that means those verses resonate with you, obviously.
	Here's what that verse says, quote,"'Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth.
	I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.'" In other words, he's not the peacemaker.
	I mean, his tattoos say it.
	His words say it.
	And he was supported.
	I mean, he used to run around with Bush.
	He used to run around with McCain.
	He runs this globalist-funded, well, I mean, Adelson-funded, Zionist-funded nonprofit, something like Soldiers for Freedom.
	I forgot the exact name.
	Veterans for Freedom.
	I think that's it.
	And it's all about war in the Middle East.
	But here's the thing.
	That Bible verse, Matthew chapter 10, verse 34, there's more to that verse than what I just read.
	It doesn't end with, I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
	Here's the rest of that verse.
	Quote, For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's enemies will be those of his own household.
	Wow, that's creepy.
	So what Hegseth is citing is a Bible verse that talks about a house at war with itself, which would be America at war with America, which is exactly what the Zionists want.
	The Zionists want to criminalize free speech in America, and they want to deploy the military, which Hegseth would control as the Secretary of Defense, To round up and exterminate Americans that speak out against Israel.
	This is a crusade.
	It's a Zionist crusade against Christians and truth-tellers in America.
	That is what that Bible verse actually refers to, at least in my analysis.
	He's talking about setting a house into war against itself.
	He's talking about, quote, a man's enemies will be those of his own household.
	He's loyal to Israel, not to the United States.
	And just to prove that, let's watch some of his videos.
	This should be fun.
	So here we go.
	Some Hegseth videos.
	And today, Jennifer and I and others had a chance to go see the western wall of the Temple Mount, the western wall tunnels, so much of the old city.
	And as you stand there, you can't help but behold the miracle before you.
	And it got me thinking about another miracle that I hope all of you don't see too far away.
	Because 1917 was a miracle.
	1948 was a miracle.
	1967 was a miracle.
	2017, the declaration of Jerusalem at the Capitol was a miracle.
	And there's no reason why the miracle of the reestablishment of the temple on the Temple Mount is not possible.
	Alright, so we're going to pause it right there.
	He's talking about biblical end times prophecy.
	He's talking about the destruction of of the dome and the rebuilding of the third temple, which fulfills Israeli or Jewish prophecy that they think this will cause the end times, ultimately the rise of the Antichrist, the final battle of Armageddon, and that Israel will be saved by God.
	And by the way, remember that Judaism doesn't recognize the existence of Christ.
	So all those Christians in America that are supporting Israel and just the religion of Judaism and believing in its end times prophecies, they are rejecting Christ.
	So it's a giant scam that the Zionists have convinced Christians or evangelical Christians to support Israel when Israel despises Christ, by the way, the teachings of Christ, the very existence of Christ.
	But What you just watched there, and we'll play more, that shows you that Hegseth, that's a very odd name.
	I'm going to have to get used to that one.
	Hegseth.
	Maybe it's Hegseth.
	I don't know.
	But Hegseth, he believes in these religious end times prophecies that Israel has been pushing.
	And remember, in order to get to that, they have to start a world war.
	They have to start.
	They have to invoke Armageddon.
	That's what Hegseth wants to do as the Secretary of Defense.
	He wants to start Armageddon.
	And how does he plan to do that?
	No doubt he wants to attack Iran.
	Yeah.
	So let's listen to what else he says.
	By the way, notice he's speaking at some King David Jerusalem event of some kind, or the King David Hotel event.
	Right.
	So, you know, Let's just hear what else he has to say.
	And a step in that process, a step in every process, is the recognition that facts and activities on the ground truly matter.
	And that's why going and visiting Judea and Samaria, understanding that sovereignty, the very sovereignty of Israeli soil, Israeli cities, locations, is a critical next step to showing the world that this is the land for Jews and the land of Israel.
	And I believe, as was mentioned, he said you need to, what was mentioned is you need to buy the ticket.
	Don't just wish for 40 years to win the lottery, buy the ticket.
	I would submit to you, in light of the support you have in Washington DC, the support you have amongst patriotic Americans, amongst evangelical Christians, amongst believers, amongst Republicans, even amongst some Democrats who can barely say it anymore in Washington, buy the ticket, take your action, do what needs to be done here in Israel, because I truly believe this is a moment where America will have your back.
	So we'll pause it there.
	What he says when he's saying do what needs to be done, he's saying continue the ethnic cleansing and the extermination of Palestinians.
	Notice that Hegseth and none of these Zionist picks, none of them believe in the existence of Palestine as a legitimate nation or a region or even an ethnicity of Palestinians.
	All they believe is the lie that claims God chose Israel to To take all this land from all these other people and that Israel therefore has the right to murder all these other people.
	That's what Hegseth.
	That's what he believes.
	And so he says, do what needs to be done.
	Well, that means shooting children in the head, bombing hospitals, bombing mosques, bombing residential buildings, assaulting even Christian churches in Lebanon, by the way.
	And there were other Christian hospitals in Gaza and Christian churches in Gaza.
	There were Christians in Gaza.
	But Hegseth says, do what needs to be done, which means dropping more bombs, committing more genocide.
	That is who Trump just picked for the Secretary of Defense.
	Think about that.
	In essence, this guy is more dangerous than Lord Austin, who's the current Secretary of Defense.
	Lord Austin, as...
	Offensive as he may be in his obedience to the weapons manufacturers.
	At least he's not some kind of end times accelerationist Zionist zealot.
	That's what Hegseth is.
	I still can't get used to his name.
	Hegseth.
	Like the Dark Lord Sith, I think.
	We'll have to come up with a new nickname for this guy because he just wants to carry out slaughter and blood and war and Armageddon.
	And his tattoos tell the story, by the way.
	Now, there's more from Hank Seth.
	Oh, yes, he's going to keep us entertained for quite some time.
	Listen to him say that we should bomb Iran's energy production facilities, and even if necessary, he says that we should bomb hospitals and schools and mosques in Iran, okay?
	So you're going to hear him say this on Fox News.
	In his own words, all right?
	This is what he believes.
	Couldn't possibly be dangerous, could it?
	Oh, no, but check it out.
	Sometimes you have moments, Steve, and I happen to believe that we can't kick the can down the road any longer in trying to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb.
	They used the killing of Soleimani as an excuse to say, we're scrapping the Iran deal.
	We all know they were scrapping it anyway.
	So what better time than now to say, we're starting the clock.
	You've got a week.
	You've got X amount of time before we start taking out your energy production facilities.
	We take out key infrastructure.
	We take out your missile sites.
	We take out nuclear developments.
	That is not a It's a popular idea.
	Or, you know, take out a Quds headquarters while you're at it, if you want.
	I understand that's not a popular idea.
	But I understand.
	I've been hearing that we believe that the Iranians are hiding missiles and weapons in some of these cultural sites, churches or mosques.
	Of course they do.
	This is what Islamists do.
	It's what they've done in the battlefield against folks like me and my entire generation.
	Human shields, using mosques, using, you know, hospitals, schools.
	This is what our enemies do.
	Now, that doesn't mean we go on and target cultural sites, but what it means is we are clear-eyed about how Our enemies use the rules that we write against us.
	And if we want to defeat them, this is something, having seen it, if we want to defeat them, we have to think smart about how these rules, how we navigate within these rules without playing a game that's rigged to help them so that we can't win.
	If we're going to fight to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb, this regime, then we need to rewrite the rules that are advantageous to us.
	I don't want to hit cultural sites on purpose, but if you're using one to harbor your most dangerous weapons, then that's It should be on the target list.
	All right, so he just said there that they're going to bomb hospitals and mosques and cultural centers because they're going to have to change the rules and just bomb everything.
	And remember what Israel does.
	They'll release a 3D animation video and they'll say, well, we believe that there's tunnels under this hospital.
	And we think there's gold in these tunnels, too.
	So for some reason, we have to bomb the hospital and I don't know how that ever made sense, but this is what Israel does.
	There's tunnels with gold in them, so let's bomb the hospital.
	And they do.
	So what Hegseth is saying here is that Israel will always claim that the places they want to bomb have weapons in them.
	They've done it all throughout Gaza and Lebanon.
	Heck, they would do it in New York City.
	If Israel wanted to bomb NYU, They would just say, well, we think there's Hamas and tunnels underneath NYU. We're going to have to bomb the whole campus.
	Level it.
	And Hegseth would say, amen.
	You know, we have to get rid of Hamas, so bombs away.
	You know, that's the attitude of these people.
	Well, Israel, they just accuse everybody of having bombs or missiles or weapons or ammo or gold, and then that's the justification for bombing those sites, whether it's a hospital, whether it's a mosque, whether it's a church, whether it's a school, a university, apartment buildings, you name it.
	So Hegseth is all in on that.
	So, in other words, he is admitting on Fox News that he is happy to commit war crimes.
	He is happy to commit war crimes, and I'm willing to bet If he's confirmed for Secretary of Defense a year into this, he will be a full-blown war criminal, and he may face arrests or at least indictment by the International Criminal Court.
	And Trump may as well, by the way, if Trump is complicit in this.
	And I meant to say that Trump has a very important choice to make in all of this.
	I'll I'll get to that in more detail, but just in the short version, Trump must either choose between America or Israel.
	And that will determine the future in so many ways that when I get to describing that, I think you'll see how profound that is.
	But I want to show you one more video from Hegseth to show you how insane and how dangerous this guy really is.
	Check this out.
	Ainsley, if you open up your Bible, God granted Abraham this land.
	The 12 tribes of Israel established the constitutional monarchy 1000 BC. King David was their second king and established Jerusalem as the capital.
	Jews were fighting foreign occupiers for centuries, ultimately maintaining a presence there.
	But the key aspect, and right now, Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, are trying to erase the Jewish ties to Jerusalem as we speak.
	I've been there multiple times.
	They're trying to make it look like Jews were never there.
	The most important aspect of this is the international community granted sovereignty to the Jews, to the Jewish state, after World War II. And Israel has had to fight defensive war after defensive war, with every country coming to crush it ever since then, just to exist.
	Wow, so many lies there from Hegseth.
	I mean, just total propaganda and brainwashing.
	Number one, God did not grant that land to modern-day Israelis.
	And the verse out of the Bible that most of these brainwashed evangelical Christians are referring to is right out of Genesis chapter 12, in which God promises this land in the Middle East to, well, Abraham.
	So that verse in which the Lord is talking to Abraham with his younger name, Abram, he says, quote, Get out of your country, from your family, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you.
	I will make you a great nation.
	I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing.
	I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
	So he's talking to Abraham.
	Well, what are the Abrahamic religions?
	Who are the offspring of Abraham?
	Well, the Palestinians.
	So Islam is an Abrahamic religion, by the way.
	Islam honors Abraham.
	Islam even honors the existence of Christ, which Judaism does not.
	Jews hate Christ.
	They hate the existence of Christ.
	Islam honors Christ as a prophet.
	Islam honors the Virgin Mary.
	And Islam comes from, ultimately, the lineage goes back to Abraham.
	So Pete Hegseth is an indoctrinated evangelical Christian Zionist zealot who doesn't even know what the Bible says, and thus he's a false prophet.
	He's a liar about what's actually in the Bible.
	The Bible does not promise the land to Israel, and even modern-day Israel is It's not even the same as Israel in the Bible.
	And almost all of the Israelis in modern-day Israel are Europeans.
	They came from Europe.
	Netanyahu is Polish.
	He changed his name to Netanyahu.
	He's not from the Middle East.
	He's not Abrahamic.
	So you've been told a lie.
	We've all been told a lie about all this modern-day Israel.
	The Israelis are mostly northern Europeans who invaded the land.
	And, you know, Hegseth says, well, they had to keep defending themselves.
	Isn't it funny how every time they, quote, defended themselves, they took more and more land since 1948 until they pushed the Palestinians into an open-air prison called Gaza, and they took most of the West Bank, and now they're trying to take Lebanon, and they have a greater Israel plan to conquer parts of Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Iraq and Jordan and they have a greater Israel plan to conquer parts of Egypt and Saudi And Hegseth would say that's all just self-defense.
	Israel just has to defend itself, and it just keeps expanding with its defense.
	He's a liar.
	He's wrong.
	That's not defense.
	That's colonization.
	That's occupation.
	Israel is an occupying enemy force in the Middle East.
	Israel stole the land from the Palestinians, murdered and slaughtered and raped and tortured the Palestinians.
	Israel is the enemy of the children of Abraham.
	So when God says that I give this land to To the family of Abraham, I bless those who bless you and I curse him who curses you.
	That means God curses Hegseth.
	God curses modern-day Israelis because they are at war with the children of Abraham who are the Palestinians.
	You see?
	Hegseth or Hegseth He is an antichrist figure in history.
	He is at war with God, and he thinks, or at least he pretends, that he is serving God.
	He thinks he's a crusader for God.
	He's actually an antichrist end times figure who wants to start Armageddon because he's under the illusion that Israel is protected by God when in reality, modern day Israel is a satanic death cult run by Satanists.
	They engage in all the child sacrifice and all the child trafficking and all the child rape and all the bloodletting, all the crazy insane stuff, all the ritualistic baby murder and abortions.
	That characterizes modern-day Israel.
	It is a satanic death cult.
	And Hedgesith here, he's all in with that.
	He fully supports the satanic death cult that is modern-day Israel.
	And he even cites the Bible.
	As he supports the synagogue of Satan.
	Think about that.
	So Hegseth or Hedgeseth, he's dangerous in a way that we haven't seen in this position of power before.
	We've never seen this.
	Even the radical Marxist leftists and communists, they, you know, they weren't trying to accelerate end times Armageddon.
	They were just trying to enslave you, which is bad enough, as it is.
	And I'm very glad that Kamala was defeated in this election, although it's not over.
	It's not over until Trump is sworn in.
	But Hedge Sith here, this guy is dangerous in a religious zealotry kind of way where rationality is gone.
	And I believe he would support the use of nuclear weapons to provoke Armageddon, thinking that he's on the side of God when he's actually serving Satan and the death wishes of Satan.
	That's the danger of how the Zionists who do serve Satan—remember, the flag of Israel, it's emblazoned with the so-called Star of David.
	The Star of David is never— It's not a symbol out of the Bible.
	The Star of David is actually not the Star of David.
	That's the Star of Remphan, who is a false idol.
	And in the Bible, this is even mentioned as something that is evil and wicked to worship this false idol and worship the false god of Remphan.
	I cover this in my Bible sermons, by the way.
	The Star of David is a symbol of Satanism.
	And so anyone supporting modern-day Israel is actually supporting the synagogue of Satan.
	I've covered these in my sermons.
	Listen to my sermon number 92, which cites...
	Acts chapter 7.
	The title is, God condemns Israel as the tabernacle of Moloch that murdered Jesus and worships Remphan.
	Yeah, listen to sermon number 92 or sermon number 91.
	Peter and the apostles resist Jewish threats and preach Jesus to the very people who murdered him.
	Yeah.
	You want to know the truth?
	Read the Bible.
	Don't listen to end times of lunatics like Hedgesith here.
	Who clearly either hasn't read the Bible or has completely misread it and yet is trying to cite it to justify his end times Armageddon dreams or whatever wickedness he has in mind.
	So think about what we've covered today.
	The incredibly positive nomination of Matt Gaetz.
	Who will serve America, who will do great things for America domestically.
	And then the incredibly negative nomination of Hedge Sith, who wants to start Armageddon, global nuclear war, and he's actually an anti-Christ crusader who might get a billion people killed.
	Think about that contrast.
	That contrast shows the choice that Trump will be forced to make.
	This is a choice of destiny.
	This is the ultimate choice that God is going to present to Trump.
	It is, will you choose America or will you choose Satan via the Zionists?
	That's the choice Trump has to make.
	And that's synonymous with saying to Trump, will you choose peace or Which would be pro-America, pro-America's economy, pro-world stability, pro-energy stability, etc.
	Will you choose peace or will you choose war?
	If you choose war, America is destroyed.
	You know why?
	Because the whole world will dump the dollar.
	They will choose BRICS currencies.
	Iran will block the Strait of Hormuz.
	Energy prices will skyrocket.
	The U.S. economy will nosedive.
	Mass money printing will have to occur.
	The dollar will lose even more value.
	Consumers will have hyperinflation.
	There'll be civil unrest, etc.
	If Hedge Sith here, if he carries out the Armageddon that he wants, Trump loses America.
	America will be lost.
	And Trump will be positioned as Hitler.
	Why?
	Because Hedgeseth, he will support genocide, which is a Holocaust in the Middle East.
	And this Holocaust is already probably a couple hundred thousand Palestinians.
	It is a Holocaust-scale mass death event in the Middle East.
	Hedgeseth, or Hedgesith, he'll probably increase that to, you know, millions of people.
	If Trump is the one who put him in charge, then Trump takes the blame for the genocide or the Holocaust in the Middle East, and then he walks right into the trap that the left has set for him, which is to say that Trump is Hitler, and only a Hitler would support a Holocaust, right?
	In this case, the Holocaust being carried out by the Zionists, who are really the European implants, against the children of Abraham, who are the Palestinians and mostly followers of Islam in the region.
	Think about that.
	So Trump would be the new Hitler at war with the children of Abraham, meaning he's also at war with God, making him the Antichrist.
	So if Trump goes along with Hedgeseth here, Trump could be both Hitler and the Antichrist, In the minds of the left and his critics and so on, at the same time, double whammy of the worst person ever.
	You know what I'm saying?
	And I interviewed Dustin Nemos recently, and Dustin Nemos laid out the case.
	He thinks Trump is the Antichrist, or Trump is an Antichrist.
	I think he said there's not just one Antichrist, but he thinks Trump is the Antichrist.
	Well, I would say to Trump, If you fall into war, you will be fulfilling those accusations.
	The way to prove to the world that you are not Hitler, you are not the Antichrist, is to say no to war, is to demand peace, bring about peace and prosperity.
	And the only way to do that, I mean, the only way to have a new golden age for the Western world is to cut off the weapons and money to Israel.
	Stop Israel's violence against its neighbors.
	Stop the genocide.
	Stop the weapons.
	Trump should announce, in my opinion, although I don't think he'll do this, but I think he should announce maybe on day one or maybe before day one, I don't know when is the right time to do it, but Trump should announce that Israel will no longer be funded and supported by the United States military or the U.S. taxpayers because it is waging a war of genocide.
	If he did that, then he can't be called Trump Hitler or Trump Antichrist, right?
	If he did that, then he would usher in peace.
	Now, Israel would totally freak out, and AIPAC would totally freak out, and Hedgeseth here would totally freak out, of course, because they want war.
	They want Armageddon.
	They want violence and blood and death.
	But let us pray and hope that Trump doesn't fall into that trap.
	If instead Trump focuses on America, And brings our troops home from the Middle East.
	Stop sending weapons to Israel and focuses on domestic abundance, the rule of law domestically.
	Let's secure the border.
	Let's export the illegals.
	Let's bring in Elon Musk and Vivek.
	Let's figure out how to make government cost a lot less.
	Stop wasting the taxpayers' money so we don't need to print as much money.
	Maybe the money printing machine could be slowed down, possibly.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Is that too crazy?
	Bring down food prices.
	Engage in more domestic energy production so that farming becomes more affordable, so food becomes more affordable, transportation becomes more affordable, etc.
	Enforce the rule of law.
	Arrest and prosecute the traders, the deep state traders.
	Slash the government budget's Abolish the FDA like Matt Gaetz was talking about.
	If Trump focuses on that, he will not only be the greatest president that ever lived, he'll be the greatest hero of American history.
	He will lend significant moral credibility to the Republican Party as the party of peace and abundance.
	On the other hand, if Trump goes with Hedge Sith, And goes to war and keeps sending bombs to Israel and ends up being part of a Holocaust in the Middle East and ends up in a nuclear war with Iran, which has nuclear weapons, by the way, and maybe in a war with Russia at the same time, then Trump will go down in history as the worst president in American history.
	And the Republican Party will be discredited forevermore, that is, even if the U.S. empire even exists much longer.
	America could be destroyed if Trump pursues the path of war.
	And you know why?
	Because not only does Iran have nuclear weapons, but so does Russia.
	Russia's got more nukes than anybody else on the planet.
	And Russia is saying that if the U.S. approves Ukraine using long-range strikes of weapons into Russia, that that will be the declaration of war from the West.
	Just the approval itself, not even launching weapons, but just the USA or NATO approving Ukraine's use of those weapons, Russia says that it will retaliate aggressively.
	That probably means a nuclear strike on the United States of America with no warning, hypersonic arrival, and America's cities could be nuked.
	So this choice, this epic, cosmic, divine choice that Trump has been given, this will determine the fate of this empire, the fate of our nation, and the fate of billions of people on this planet.
	If Trump goes along with Adelson, the Zionist mega-donor, and he goes along with Hedgesith, he will lead us into war and destruction.
	The destruction of the dollar, destruction of the U.S., destruction of the economy, destruction of probably at least a billion lives, etc.
	If instead he chooses peace, then he could help unleash a new golden age, And we might not lose the empire.
	We might still have a nation.
	That's the choice.
	And you can tell that this is going to be a difficult choice because you've got Lindsey Graham just begging for war.
	You've got the military-industrial complex begging for war.
	You have all these evangelical Christians in America that are totally brainwashed into thinking that Armageddon is their pathway to heaven, which is completely insane.
	Imagine their surprise when they all end up in hell for supporting the synagogue of Satan, by the way.
	This is the ultimate test.
	And as I've taught in my Bible sermons, this is a simulation.
	This is a simulation created by God, by the way.
	It's not created by some advanced AI alien civilization.
	It's not a computer game.
	This is God's cosmic simulation.
	He created the laws of physics.
	He created...
	The mass, the matter, the energy in our universe, and He gave us the gift of life and consciousness, free will.
	And as we exist in this simulation, the goal for us is to make it through this simulation with our morality intact, with our souls intact, with our humanity intact.
	That's the goal.
	Those are the rules of the simulation.
	This is spelled out throughout the Bible, by the way.
	Not just the Bible, but also in other religious texts.
	In Buddhism, in the Quran of Islam, in Sikhism, in Hinduism, it all says the same thing, basically.
	That the way that you win the simulation is to be a good person of high moral standing.
	All those religious texts of the world say the same thing.
	Well, maybe not the Talmud, but the other religious texts say the same thing.
	The way you fail the simulation, which sends you to hell, by the way, when your soul is judged, is if you are not a moral person, but rather a wicked person.
	If you promote death and suffering, arrogance, pompousness, if you treat people unkindly, if you look down upon people and you harm people or you hurt animals, You know, I mean, these are all things that are wicked and evil in the eyes of our Creator, okay?
	And if you start Armageddon, which side of this equation do you think you're going to be on?
	You're going to be on the hell side of this.
	That's the choice that Trump has to make.
	Will you go to heaven or hell?
	Will you condemn billions to die in Armageddon, or will you help billions of people achieve abundance and freedom and liberty and happiness and joy and having a bright future?
	That's the question for Trump.
	And he's got evil, satanic people all around him, like Hedgeseth here.
	Just wants to go to war, wants to bomb, wants to kill, wants to fulfill the Zionist religious end times prophecy.
	These kind of people are going to be influential on Trump.
	But you've got other people who are hoping that that doesn't happen, even like RFK Jr.
	doesn't want war.
	He's not a pro-war person.
	You have a lot of influencers like myself and Dennis Kucinich and many others who will call for peace.
	Now, I don't know where Alex Jones is going to fall on this spectrum.
	I don't know where Charlie Kirk is going to fall.
	I don't know where Tucker Carlson is going to fall.
	I can just pray that they all come to their senses about the importance of peace.
	If we don't have peace, we all die, probably.
	At least our nation dies.
	Maybe a billion people die.
	So peace is the answer here to saving our world.
	Obviously, because nuclear war destroys our world.
	So let us not listen to the warmongers, but rather the purveyors of peace.
	It reminds me, by the way, of Isaiah chapter 1, Old Testament prophet.
	Who received the word from the Lord about how evil Jerusalem and the Jews had become.
	They have become so evil.
	Verse 4, alas, sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers.
	He's talking about the Jews.
	Children who are corruptors, they have forsaken the Lord.
	They have provoked to anger the Holy One of Israel.
	They have turned away backward.
	Why should you be stricken again?
	You will revolt more and more.
	The whole head is sick and the whole heart faints.
	This is the Lord speaking, by the way, through Isaiah.
	From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores.
	They have not been closed or bound up or soothed with ointment.
	Your country is desolate.
	Your cities are burned with fire.
	Strangers devour your land in your presence, and it is desolate as overthrown by strangers.
	So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers.
	There's a real insult right there.
	You don't want to be a hut in a garden of cucumbers.
	As a besieged city, unless the Lord of hosts had left to us a very small remnant, we would have become like Sodom.
	We would have been made like Gomorrah.
	And by the way, Sodom and Gomorrah are two cities that God destroyed with comets.
	He sent comets, you know, out of the heavens, out of the sky, giant fireballs, kaboom, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
	Why?
	For their sexual perversion and wickedness and how they had turned against God.
	And then in the next verse, the Lord is condemning the Jews for going through all these rituals of animal sacrifice, but never being good people, just continuing to be wicked, wicked
	Verse 10, he says, And the fat of fed cattle,
	he's saying, because in the ancient temples in Jerusalem, the Jewish priests had a scam where you could show up and you could pay them money and they would murder Jews.
	Like an ox or a sheep or a dove, and they would say that the bigger the animal you murder, the more your sins are washed away.
	This is what Jews still believe to this day, or many of them, as they buy chickens in New York City.
	This just happened in one of the Jewish holidays.
	They buy chickens, and then they slit the throat of the chicken, and they wave it around over their heads with blood flinging out everywhere, and they think that that's washing away their sins.
	Yeah, this kind of crazy nonsense still goes on.
	Even the Lord was sick and tired of this.
	So back to verse 11.
	To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me?
	Says the Lord.
	I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed cattle.
	I do not delight in the blood of bulls or of lambs or goats.
	He's like, you keep killing all these animals.
	That doesn't make me happy.
	That doesn't serve me.
	You people are evil and wicked.
	He goes on.
	Verse 12, when you come to appear before me, who has required this from your hand to trample my courts?
	Bring no more futile sacrifices.
	Incense is an abomination to me.
	The new moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies.
	I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting.
	He's saying all your feasts and holidays and moons and everything.
	Basically, this is the Lord saying it's all bull**** because you're just evil, wicked people.
	He doesn't use that language, obviously, but in verse 14, he says, He's saying this to the Jews of Jerusalem.
	Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear.
	Your hands are full of blood.
	And then he gives the Israelites, the Jews, he gives them the cure for all this wickedness.
	Here it is, verse 16.
	Maybe Hedgesith should actually read the Bible.
	He would know this.
	Verse 16.
	Make yourselves clean.
	Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
	Cease to do evil.
	Learn to do good.
	Seek justice.
	Rebuke the oppressor.
	Defend the fatherless.
	Plead for the widow.
	And he goes on.
	But what is Israel doing today?
	Are they rebuking the oppressor?
	No, Israel is the oppressor.
	Are they defending the fatherless?
	No, they're slaughtering fathers and mothers and children alike.
	Are they pleading for the widow?
	No, they're bombing the widow.
	That's what Israel is doing.
	God despises Israel.
	God condemns Israel, both of the ancient past that we're reading about here in Isaiah, but also modern-day Israel because it is a nation of evil and wickedness and satanic bloodlust against humanity.
	And any person who is complicit in what Israel is doing today is on Team Satan.
	Not Team God, not Team Jesus, not Team humanity, but Team Satan.
	And that's Hedgeseth.
	He's a Satanist.
	He's an Antichrist figure.
	And he'll be running the United States military.
	Think about that.
	As God said to Isaiah, this is verse 19, This is the choice.
	This is the choice that I've been laying out in this podcast.
	God said it thousands of years ago.
	Here it is.
	Verse 19.
	If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
	But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword.
	For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
	Cosmic mic drop.
	Right there.
	Kaboom.
	Got it?
	If you're willing and obedient, that is, obedient to God's laws.
	What are God's laws?
	What are God's rules?
	To be moral, to be kind, to have compassion, to be a human being, to aid others, not to slaughter them, to seek peace, not war, to seek abundance, not economic punishment of other nations.
	He says, if you're willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
	You shall live in a golden age of abundance is what he's saying.
	The land of milk and honey and way beyond.
	Your economies will thrive.
	Your families will reproduce.
	Your health will be very positive.
	You'll rejoice.
	You'll have joy in your life.
	This is what God promises again and again throughout the Old Testament in particular.
	And then Christ continues those promises and his apostles continue those promises in the New Testament.
	But Verse 20, if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword.
	What tattoo is on Hedgeseth's arm?
	It's the tattoo of the crusader's sword.
	And it's citing Matthew chapter 10, verse 34.
	Again, just to remind you, this is what Hedgeseth believes.
	Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth.
	I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
	If he rebels against God, God says he will be devoured by the sword.
	I think he's fulfilling his own prophecy of a personal Armageddon.
	Let us hope and pray that he doesn't bring the whole world with him.
	All right.
	We've got an interview coming up with Daniel Sachkov, the key project manager of the Bastion Project, which Brighton.io uses that engine for decentralized free speech that is uncensorable, unconfiscatable, unstoppable. So that interview is coming up. I want to remind you that today, yes, it is today.
	Today begins our once-a-year Black Friday event at our store, the Health Ranger store.
	So if you'd like to support us and our platforms and our freedom of speech, go to healthrangerstore.com slash Black Friday.
	All one word altogether, you know, no space or anything.
	healthrangerstore.com slash Black Friday, and you'll see the once-a-year incredible discounts, Availability and new products that we have available, including some new...
	Well, we've got machetes from Dawson Knives now.
	I think they're active in the store as of today.
	New machetes.
	We've got a small machete and a big machete.
	It's almost like a sword.
	It's a very big machete with extraordinary alloy steel.
	Anyway, I'll show you those later in the studio.
	It's something really new and really cool.
	But of course, we have a storable food.
	And I've got an update for you on that.
	We also have certified organic laboratory tested superfoods, nutritional supplements.
	Ranger buckets, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables in number 10 cans, fragrance-free body soap and laundry detergent, clean products for clean living to get all the toxins out of your life, out of your food, out of your personal care products.
	We have all of that.
	Essential oils, medicinal mushrooms, and so much more.
	Delicious functional mushroom cacao mixes and things like that.
	Whey protein.
	The Turmeric, just an amazing assortment.
	Check it all out, healthrangerstore.com slash Black Friday.
	Get in early because we have different specials running every 12 hours, by the way.
	And so you can actually refresh and check the site every 12 hours.
	You're going to see a new set of discounts and specials for that 12-hour window.
	Now, by the way, on our donations update, We just dispatched another truck with, I believe it's 10 pallets.
	So it's at least $100,000 worth of food donations.
	It's on its way to Florida right now.
	It's supposed to arrive actually, well, today.
	Sometime today it will arrive.
	We're going to get additional photos.
	I've got photos of all the food loading up, but we're going to get some photos at the staging area.
	And we're doing this in cooperation with people that work with Steve Slepsovich of SRP24. That is the emergency response team.
	Florida took quite a bit of damage from the last hurricane.
	I think it was Milton.
	Wasn't that the one that hit Florida?
	And there are other storms potentially shaping up.
	So we are staging this 10 pallets.
	Again, it's at least $100,000.
	I have to get the exact totals.
	It might be $120,000.
	It's a combination of Ranger buckets.
	It's number 10 cans.
	It's mega buckets with wheat berries, flax seeds, organic black-eyed peas.
	Like, this is real food.
	We've got quinoa and rice and cashews and almonds and things in the Ranger buckets.
	This is real food that's being staged there for distribution to people in need in Florida.
	So we sent Over $200,000 to North Carolina.
	This is now over $100,000 to Florida.
	We distributed about $15,000 last weekend in Central Texas.
	We will continue to distribute more in Central Texas.
	The reason I mention this is just because I want to thank you.
	Without your purchases, we couldn't make these donations.
	And these donations all go through our church, Church of Natural Abundance.
	The website is abundance.church.
	We now do have a donation button working there if you want to donate to our church.
	It is tax-deductible.
	I'm not asking you for donations to the church.
	I'm not trying to raise money for the church.
	We actually, our commercial side of our operations donates to the church, you know, thanks to your support of our commercial side.
	So if you want to help us help Americans, the simplest way that you can do that is to participate in this Black Friday event.
	Purchase these great sale products from our store, healthrangerstore.com slash Black Friday.
	The more you buy from us where we have some profit margins, the more we are able to make donations to our church in food and product that costs us money to acquire and to manufacture and so on.
	And for lab testing, all that, and then our church is able to donate it out and distribute it out.
	And I think we're going to have a lot more food inflation.
	We're going to have some hunger.
	We're going to have some famine.
	The American people are going to need some help.
	We are here to help.
	And one of the things I learned, and I'm sure Ann Vandersteel has seen this firsthand because she's been on the ground in North Carolina exposing the FEMA camps so much more.
	But I've heard this from my guys that are on the ground, some of the team members of former Special Forces guys and so on, and even Slapsovich's team.
	Most of the food coming into the churches and the distribution areas in North Carolina, most of the food is crap processed food.
	I'm just being honest.
	I'm not trying to say it's wrong for people to donate that stuff, but a lot of it's just junk food, okay?
	Okay.
	There's a lot of donations of energy drinks, a lot of donations of bottled water, there's a lot of donations of diapers and toilet paper.
	That's useful stuff.
	I get it.
	People need that stuff.
	On the food side, a lot of the donations are just garbage, just junk processed food like bags of chips and just, you know, GMO, non-organic processed garbage.
	Our food is the only organic food that's being donated to these people.
	At least as far as I know.
	I haven't heard of anybody else that's sending organic lab-tested food.
	When people get our food, they're getting things that they can make into real meals with nutrient density.
	Yes, they need to be able to boil water there because we don't ship water because that would be stupid to put water on pallets.
	They need to use water there and boil up a pot of water, and then they can make recipes with our products.
	They can make chili.
	They can make soups.
	They can make quinoa, especially if they can find some eggs locally.
	Just make quinoa egg drop soup.
	I used to eat that when I was hiking in the Andes Mountains, man.
	That would keep you going at high altitude.
	We've got rice.
	We've got legumes.
	We've got red lentils.
	We don't include meat in our products.
	We're not in the meat business, by the way.
	But we have high nutrient density non-meat products, which includes the things I just mentioned and many more, like flax seeds, like freeze-dried organic kale, which is high protein.
	Freeze-dried fruits, freeze-dried vegetables, wheat berries that can be ground up and made into bread.
	Even if you don't have yeast, you can make flatbread out of that.
	And it's, again, certified organic, obviously non-GMO. We ship real food to people.
	And I know, because I've heard back from many people, when they get our buckets, they're really relieved.
	They're very happy because it's like, wow, we can actually have a real meal here.
	You know, we can make chili or we can make whatever.
	So that's what we're doing.
	You support us, we support Americans.
	That's what we're here to do.
	That's part of what You know, I believe God called on me to launch this church and to set it up as a food relief distribution hub in order to help Americans during this time of great need based on what's coming.
	I see a very dark transition period for this nation, and I think most Americans aren't ready.
	They're going to need a lot of assistance and Your support and God's blessings have blessed us with the tremendous amount of resources and goodwill that enables us to do this.
	And I believe that God has put it upon us to do this, to share this with the American people.
	That's exactly why we're doing this.
	Sometimes you just call to do certain things.
	And I listen to the call.
	And that's what we're doing.
	And that's why also since I've launched the church that I've taught now over 101 Bible sermons, I feel such a strong resonance with God's demands for obedience to morality.
	And this is why I'm speaking out so strongly against those who are immoral or those who are pushing violence or genocide or war.
	We are the new church, just as we are the new media.
	We are the new church.
	All of us, you and I, we are the elect.
	We are the new congregation, the new church that will not remain silent in the face of evil.
	We will speak out against the mutilation of children, against the genocide in Palestine.
	We will speak out against the corruption of the church, if necessary, or the corruption of the Senate.
	We are the new church.
	We are not silent.
	We are vocal.
	We stand for something.
	We stand for what God taught us and what Christ reiterated in the New Testament.
	This counts.
	This matters.
	That's our mission.
	We're here to serve humanity and serve God.
	And we find ourselves in a world where satanic infiltration has reached to the highest levels of power.
	Soon, one of Satan's minions will run the Pentagon.
	Think about that.
	Maybe we should just call it the pentagram at that point, huh?
	Maybe they'll have like demon-invoking rituals and portals in the center of the pentagon pentagram, and they'll open up like a portal to a demon world, and they'll have like Satan soldiers come pouring through to fight with Iran.
	Yeah, I know.
	It sounds like science fiction, right?
	Given where we are in history, like nothing would surprise me at this point.
	That's not a prediction on my part.
	I'm not saying that will actually literally happen, but they can also summon energies of Satan.
	I think that's already happened.
	I think energies of Satan have infiltrated and taken over many of the highest levels of our government.
	I have seen bureaucrats of the regulatory agencies that are 100% demon-possessed skin bags that once used to be humans, and now demon skin bags.
	I've seen it with my own eyes.
	That's why I have this, and I'm not interacting with government anymore without this golden cross necklace that I have.
	I'm going to have symbols of Christ on me and around me anytime I ever interact with government because they are actual, literal demons who despise humanity.
	So if Matt Gaetz wants to go in there and shut them all down and send them all packing, I am 100% in support of that.
	Fire every last bureaucrat.
	The correct budget of every federal agency is zero dollars.
	With maybe the one exception being the FAA, as I've mentioned before, because we do need some safety rules for general aviation.
	But like, you know, inspect your plane engine every 100 hours, that kind of thing.
	But for the most part, every federal agency should be cut to zero.
	The closer we get to zero, the more free we will be.
	So let's see if we can get some of that done with the help of people like Matt Gaetz.
	So pray for Trump.
	Pray for his discernment and wisdom.
	Pray for this nation.
	Even pray for hedge Sith there.
	Pray that he comes to his senses and doesn't get devoured by his own sword through violence and war and being brainwashed by the Zionists.
	Pray for him too.
	Pray for everybody.
	And maybe, just maybe, we can get through this together.
	But thank you for listening.
	Now, enjoy the interview coming up with Daniel Sachkov.
	This is a really informative interview, especially if you are interested in freedom.
	And how about being able to communicate even if the internet kill switch is activated?
	Yeah, because that might be coming too.
	So listen up.
	You'll learn a lot in this interview.
	God bless you all.

	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighton and the founder of healthrangerstore.com.
	Take care.
	Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, and this is a critical, even urgent action update and interview.
	We're going to be joined in a moment by Daniel Sachkov from Bastion.com.
	Bastion is the underlying engine that powers Brighteon.io, which is a decentralized, peer-to-peer, blockchain-driven, uncensorable social media platform.
	And it's also completely resistant to DNS attacks or any requirement of using domain names if you use the apps because it's truly peer-to-peer does not even need domain name resolution.
	Let me state it this way.
	This is the technology that's going to survive nuclear war.
	This is the technology that you will still be able to use to communicate and to hear from us and to hear from others that you follow or to put out messages even in the middle of a nuclear war or even in the middle of the internet kill switch being activated that takes down most websites, including brighttown.com, which does require domain name resolution.
	So, we're joined now by Daniel Sachkov, who is a key manager and contributor to the project.
	Daniel, welcome back.
	It's been too long.
	I love your technology.
	I love what you're doing.
	It's just great to have you on again.
	Hi, Mike.
	Thanks for having me.
	Hello, everybody.
	Well, Daniel, it's been, I think, a few months since we've had you on the show.
	A lot has happened since then.
	And I just want to encourage people to go to bastion, B-A-S-T-Y-O-N, bastion.com, or go to brighteon.io, which is just kind of a different skin for the same technology.
	And you can create an account right now.
	You can watch that right now.
	But, Daniel, tell us about the latest updates and achievements of the tech, please.
	Yeah, there are a number of things that are happening.
	I would focus on, let's say, three developments.
	The first development that's really important is in Bastion, we finally released monetization for bloggers.
	What does that mean?
	Well, that means that if you're an author, And you have a following.
	You can bring that following over and just by them watching your stuff or reading your stuff or commenting basically activity in your profile, you're going to earn pocket coin.
	It's the sixth week now, and authors are earning.
	We have some bloggers that really lost their YouTube accounts, and they've been demonetized completely.
	Now they're able to earn some money.
	Of course, this is not YouTube kind of money, especially not in the heyday, but you know what?
	The YouTube kind of money is really arbitrary.
	It runs out.
	At the worst possible time.
	Whereas in Bastion, if you're publishing, basically once a week, you're getting a payment of pocket coin.
	How is this funded?
	The question is, how is this funded?
	Well, it's funded from advertising.
	Now, for six weeks now, when an advertiser comes to Bastion and makes an advertising post, right, a video or a text or something or a picture, typically a video, they will, what's called boost it.
	And there's lots of unfortunate connotations with that beautiful English word now.
	But let's overcome that because we don't want to take our language, right?
	So boosting it really means what it's supposed to mean, like a rocket boost.
	It brings the post up and you attach PocketCoin to it.
	I've done that.
	I've posted videos and I've spent PocketCoin to boost those videos.
	I've done that before, yes.
	Yeah, and it still, to this day, even though more advertisers are joining in, it still has very good ROI, because not a lot of people know about it.
	So it's very simple.
	Now, before, it was only boosted to the top of the main feed, where all the authors reside.
	But for six weeks now, it's also appearing in the profiles of the authors in the individual channel.
	Oh, wow.
	Now, author has an option of turning that off.
	Let's say that, hey, I don't want advertising on my channel.
	You can turn it off.
	You're just not going to get the pocket coin.
	But I've heard from a number of authors, this was a lifesaver because they were completely demonetized on YouTube.
	And they literally have no money to eat.
	They have to go get a job.
	And for many of these people, you know, for someone like you, you're an expert in many areas and you have also businesses that coincide with your content, right?
	But many authors are not like that.
	They just talk about things and we really need them.
	We really need those people because they cover things that nobody else will cover.
	Let me interject something here.
	In the last two months, YouTube has been very aggressively shutting off accounts of people who are either, number one, critical of NATO and Ukraine, or critical of Israel.
	Now, this interview is not a geopolitical discussion.
	I'm just pointing this out as a fact that YouTube only allows one side of those debates, the anti-Russia side and the pro-Israel side.
	That's all they allow.
	And you and I both know that whether people agree or disagree with us on whatever issues, that...
	It's a human right to hear both sides, right?
	And so Bastion and Brighttown.io allow people to post and to view every side of every debate.
	And I'm shocked that these people on YouTube, the minute they get cut off from YouTube, they beg YouTube, let me back on, let me back on, please, pretty please.
	And I keep telling them.
	I'm posting to them on X. I say, you should go use Bastion and Brighttown.io.
	You should use Rumble.
	You should use Brighttown.com.
	Why are you begging to get back onto YouTube?
	It's weird.
	It's like they're leashed dogs who just want to go back on the leash.
	It's a complete lack of strategic vision because let's say they reinstate you.
	You're constantly hanging on by a thread.
	What we have to keep in mind is the power of these platforms is immense.
	Basically, in the internet age, the platforms are ancient.
	We have the bazaars and the marketplaces and so on.
	Platform is an instrument that brings people together.
	It doesn't produce anything.
	Then these people, they give value to the platform.
	In the internet age, because it overcomes geographic boundaries, platforms are the most powerful things.
	They're weapons of mass destruction.
	They're really more powerful than any weapon.
	I know people will be like, well, he's exaggerating.
	No, I'm not.
	Even nuclear weapons, they can destroy parts of the earth, but with a weapon of mass destruction like information, you can destroy everybody or almost everybody if you have control over it.
	So platforms are immensely powerful, but platforms essentially rely on this kind of ecosystem where all authors are essentially free employees of the platform.
	When you post video to YouTube, You know, they change the psychology a little bit.
	People, because there is a lot of crap content, but if you put a good video up, you did some work, who are you working for?
	You're working for YouTube.
	You're perpetuating their power and so on.
	Okay, you say, fine, this is all ideology.
	I just want to do my part.
	But you're basically investing in the platform.
	You're inviting people there.
	You're keeping people in that platform.
	That's right.
	But any minute, they can turn you off.
	It's not even economically, logically.
	Once they started doing that, that should have been the sign for people to leave.
	We have a number of authors, let's say, in the Russian-speaking side and in the English-speaking side who were proactive.
	The first time they got banned, they said, you know what, I'm going to build my following elsewhere.
	It took a little bit of time, but now they have an audience, and this audience cannot be taken away from them.
	So if, like, worse comes to worse, at least our audience will support them.
	We should say for people who have hundreds of thousands of people and subscribers on YouTube, and they've never, ever tried to create a secondary, you know, social media or have some access to them.
	That's just mind-boggling.
	Daniel, this is the key lesson, and I've got to get this point across to every content creator watching this.
	Even on X, Elon Musk could make a decision, theoretically, to block you.
	And I'm still shadow banned on X, by the way, even though my account was restored.
	But why should I be subject to the whims of one man?
	And what if that man changes to a different person one day?
	What if Elon sells X? Then what happens?
	Or what if he changes his mind?
	But Bastion, Brighteon.io and Bastion.com have the same underlying technology, which is your tech, Bastion tech, your organization's tech, Isn't it true, Daniel, speak to this, that you can't ban anybody, I can't ban anybody.
	I mean, we can't de-platform people.
	We can block them from our feed, but we can't just de-platform somebody from the entire platform.
	It is not...
	Algorithmically possible for anyone to do that.
	Please speak to that.
	It's not possible by construction, like there's a phrase, by construction.
	It's not because I have to convince you that it's not possible, you have to trust me, I'm a good guy, or there's some agreement that we sign, which can be torn up, you know, when these agreements are torn all the time.
	No, it is because the way the system is constructed, it's constructed based on Bitcoin essentially, not essentially, but actually Bitcoin codebase is a big part of the Bastion codebase.
	And the way it works is that when you post content, you have your private key, And there's a public key.
	It's posted under your public key, and you keep your private key.
	That's it.
	We have no access to that.
	So when you post it, nobody can do anything.
	And the code is open source, so everybody can see what's going on.
	Imagine Bitcoin developers tomorrow putting something in a code to target a specific address.
	That would be the end of Bitcoin.
	They could do that, but that would be the end of it.
	Same thing with Bastion.
	Nobody would ever attempt to do that because it's pointless.
	It's absolutely pointless to even do that.
	It's not free-for-all.
	There are types of content that are prohibited.
	Pornography, promotion of drugs, direct threat of violence are prohibited.
	At some point, there's going to be added some—basically, some work is done on copyrighted content.
	You don't want to post movies or something like that.
	That's not what the platform is for.
	It's not a torrent.
	Okay, but explain to us how that is enforced.
	This jury is enforced by the users, experienced users.
	If somebody used Bastion for a year, two years really, and then they become a pool of the jurors, and when an offending post comes out, let's say it's pornography, and people complain, the complaints themselves can do nothing.
	It's not a mob rule.
	That's the important part.
	I think one of the big innovations in Bastion is that we use the technology to actually create a balance between idealism and pragmatism.
	That's really, really important because when you're too idealistic, you have the energy, but you can't really create something lasting.
	When you're too pragmatic, you're like, I don't know who you are, but that's not us.
	The balance is that we use the technology to actually create a system where decentralization can thrive.
	In this jury system, what happens there is, okay, people complain, let's say, this pornography.
	There's enough complaints registered.
	Nothing happens yet, but then a jury is called.
	The key thing about the jury is that you are called to the jury.
	You cannot decide, so I don't like Mike Adams.
	Let's say I'm an experienced user who doesn't like Mike Adams.
	I want to go and make a fake claim, but you cannot volunteer that because the jury is called randomly from a pool of people.
	And then the conviction requires unanimous vote.
	I think that jury of peers is one of the great inventions of humanity.
	And we actually use technology and blockchain.
	So every time there's a block created, there's a lottery, kind of a lottery run based on the hash of the block, which nobody can predict.
	And then people with public keys, and because public key, maybe this is a little bit technical, but you can understand, the audience will get it.
	Public key in Bitcoin is just a number.
	It doesn't matter that it has letters, it's just a way of writing a big number.
	The hash, something called hash of the block, is a unique number to the block and it cannot be predicted in the blockchain when you have a lot of transactions because it's basically random.
	We take the hash of the block and we compare it to all the public keys of potential jurors and we pick, let's say, 50 potential jurors that are closest numbers to that hash.
	So it's just a number comparison, but it is really, I think, solves—this is a massive sociological invention, I believe—ability to use randomness in blockchain to create a jury of peers.
	I think that's going to be useful in so many facets of society when you want to be honest and transparent.
	Let me interrupt you.
	You're such a capable individual, so high IQ on the technical aspects, but I'm going to ask you to simplify it.
	You could have just said it's random.
	Okay, we get it.
	You're giving us the actual mechanism of how the randomness works, which is great for coders and programmers watching.
	But for our audience, it's enough to say, okay, you have a random pool of jurors, and that is a really significant innovation in online platforms.
	I would much rather have a pool of jurors decide whether to ban a piece of content or to ban a channel rather than a corporate entity or one CEO, one boss.
	Because, I don't know, do I trust Elon Musk?
	I don't know.
	I trust no single man or woman on this earth to have control over people's speech.
	I don't trust anybody.
	I wouldn't even trust myself to be that person.
	Nobody should be that person.
	But let me ask you this, though.
	Because once you become that person, then the bullseye is on you.
	Like Pavel Durov of Telegram.
	I was saying for years, he's a genius, no doubt.
	He's a brilliant person.
	But I was saying that the fact that he built a centralized platform where all the keys are in his possession is a complete folly.
	Because there's no way you can withstand the pressure.
	Well, and he already folded.
	With Bastion, it makes no sense to pressure me or anybody.
	It's like, you know, there's a proverb, I think.
	I forgot whether it's American or Russian proverb.
	I lived in the States most of my life.
	But when you try to get wool from a pig, it's too much squealing and not enough wool.
	From a sheep?
	Yeah.
	No, no, from a pig.
	That's the whole point of the joke, that when you try to get a wool from a pig, you just get squealing and no wool.
	It's the same thing like trying to, you know, so they can take Pavel Durov and say, give us the keys.
	If they take me and say, give us the keys.
	Okay.
	I don't have the keys.
	It doesn't matter what you do.
	I just don't have it.
	It's pretty transparent.
	Okay, that makes more sense.
	I apologize.
	I was not familiar with that idiom, but that does sound funny now that you've explained it.
	But let me ask you about the structure of the low-bandwidth nature of Bastian or Breitian.io, because See, I believe we're facing a time...
	We're on the verge of nuclear war right now, in the Middle East especially, you know, between Israel and Iran and maybe Pakistan and the U.S. Navy.
	Who knows?
	We're on the verge of some major events.
	We've had storms that have caused blackouts and grid down situations.
	The reliability of the internet is not what it used to be.
	We have the possibility that undersea fiber optic cables could be severed on purpose during acts of war.
	China might be involved.
	The US and Russia might do it to each other.
	The UK, who knows?
	The point is, Bastion is designed, and I want you to speak to this, designed to operate in a low bandwidth availability environment and still remain its peer-to-peer redundancy.
	Is that correct?
	Well, when you say low bandwidth, if you mean like a really slow internet, yes, it can work in that mode.
	But it does need some internet.
	If the internet is completely severed, then the bastion will not work, to be clear.
	Well, yeah, yeah, people get that.
	The point is, though, that I believe that we're entering a phase of...
	Basically, controlled demolition of many of the systems, and one of the first casualties will be the internet.
	Banning of the bloggers is really a warm-up.
	I think it's going to be more like redoing the internet in ways that reverse the whole paradigm.
	Right now, you can ban people, but I think what they want to do is they want to reverse it and say, you have to be allowed.
	We're not going to ban you.
	You have to actually have a passport.
	You know, some sort of a passport, vaccine passport or whatever.
	We're not on YouTube, so we can speak our mind.
	You need to be, like, permitted to be on the internet.
	And I think that's what they're going to try to do.
	With Bastion, because it's built to be anonymous, pseudonymous, it has your public-private key, you can create multiple accounts.
	And also the app that you mentioned, right?
	The domain, the website, you can use it, but you really need to download the app, and we should probably put the link to Brighteon.io slash applications.
	You'll be able to download for Linux, for Windows, for anything.
	Let me ask my editor to put that on the screen, brighteon.io slash applications.
	You can download an app for any device, basically, and what's going to happen there is internet will be disrupted.
	Now, it may appear to you that it's disrupted because of a hacker attack or a war or, God forbid, a nuclear war, but I really believe that's the plan all along to disrupt internet in major ways.
	I don't think they're going to kill it.
	I really don't.
	And that's the difference between some people.
	They think they're just going to turn everything off.
	No, no, no.
	Turning off internet completely is very unpredictable because lots of authorities, they use it themselves.
	And they don't want an unpredictable situation.
	It's a controlled demolition.
	So what's going to be disrupted is a lot of legacy internet.
	But an app like Brighteon.io will work in most circumstances.
	And this has been tested.
	There were situations like in Kazakhstan a few years ago, there was a revolution where they turned off.
	People thought that the internet is off completely.
	It's turned off.
	But no, they just turned off DNS completely.
	A Bastion application worked.
	We have videos from people in Kazakhstan.
	They record on the screen.
	They showed, look, I go to all the websites, nothing works.
	I go to the app and it works.
	It's slow, but it works.
	They were able to get actual information about what's going on in their own hometown that nobody else could.
	Have there been any other war zone situations where people have been able to use Bastion or Brighton.io that you're aware of?
	Well, I know not war zone, but I know people in China use it.
	I mean, people in China, most of them are too afraid, but there are some foreigners in China who are not afraid of using Bastion application, and it works without a VPN in China.
	And if you say somebody who knows what Technology, the Chinese employee, for blocking off the internet, that's a shock.
	There's no app that will work outside of the Great Wall without a VPN, but Bastion application works because it uses many different algorithms.
	It's like a Swiss knife of decentralization.
	I mentioned three things I'm going to talk about.
	The second thing is there were a number of these Swiss knife blades added to censorship resistance in the app.
	So, for example, we used to have ability to work directly with the nodes.
	So, just like Bitcoin, you run a bastion, you're reading, you're watching the videos, but you're connecting to computers around the world.
	But also, there was added a Tor protocol, so the app itself will sense If there are ways, basically something called deep packet inspection, basically more advanced, more sophisticated ways of censorship are employed, it will switch to using Tor.
	No kidding.
	If that doesn't work, it will switch to another protocol within Tor called Snowflake.
	Wow.
	And there's a whole new other deep packet inspection evasion mechanism being built.
	So it's an arms race.
	We realize that, you know, we're up against like serious kind of events and adversaries.
	But the app is developing all the time.
	And so like last few months, there were not so many flashy features like, oh, you know, something very visible.
	But lots of work is going on specifically on censorship resistance.
	And the third thing I will mention from the development side is the Barteron.
	The marketplace, the decentralized marketplace, is released.
	Right now, it's the website barteron.club.
	But soon it will be embedded into the actual Bastion application, Brighteon application.
	Now what's going to happen, come November or December, there's going to be an app store within Bastion and Brighteon, it's the same thing, opened up.
	So what that means is that any developer can come in and very quickly, for like a few days, build a mini application.
	So it's becoming not just the Bastion and Brighteon social network, But it's a whole new internet full of applications.
	You can build a new calendar.
	You can build a decentralized email.
	There's lots of things that I would like to build, but right now it's very difficult.
	If you're a developer, let's say, right, Mike, and you want to build decentralized, truly decentralized email, you need to have a team of people.
	You need to have people on the back end, on the front end.
	Then you need to collect payments somehow if it's a paid service.
	With the Bastion and Brighteon mini applications that are coming very soon, and Barteron is only the first one, developer will be able to just, with a couple of lines of code, collect payments, a couple of lines of code, register keys on the blockchain, and do all these things.
	So it really reduces the amount of effort that needs to be done to create an application.
	Wow.
	And so this is going to be like Google Play or App Store, and we're going to have a big contest toward the end of the year where we're going to have pocket coin prizes for developers to develop these applications.
	And so my hope is that, you know, when we speak, let's say, in end of quarter one, 2025, there's going to be dozens and dozens of apps.
	So gradually, you will need less and less of the censored legacy Internet.
	Okay, this is really great news.
	I'm glad you're sharing that with us.
	And you mentioned pocket coin.
	I want to say Pcoin is the currency that people use to buy boosts, which is advertising, on your platform.
	And Pcoin, as you've explained it, it's just like a private-labeled Bitcoin, in essence, for the platform.
	I mean, it uses the same...
	The same kind of blockchain decentralized structure as Bitcoin, correct?
	That's right.
	And the difference with Bitcoin is, and we know Bitcoin is kind of the digital gold, that Bitcoin derives its power and its value from the network, right?
	There's something called the Metcalf law that the value of the network grows exponentially exponentially with the number of users.
	So if the number of users doubles, let's say quadratically, the number of users doubles, the value of the network becomes four times that.
	Now, the Bitcoin derives its value from so many users using Bitcoin, everybody believing it and using it, right?
	Because technically, you can launch a clone of Bitcoin any day.
	Bastion is different.
	Bastion is not a competitor.
	Technically, it's like Bitcoin, but it's not a competitor.
	It's completely different.
	It's the first cryptocurrency that's actually backed by something real.
	Which is the power of visibility on the platform.
	Advertising, exactly.
	You know, let's say that we live in a world where you can never sell pocket coin.
	I mean, you can, but let's say you could not.
	You could always convert it into advertising.
	And advertising is one of the most valuable things on the internet.
	If you think of all these giants, they're all built on advertising revenue.
	Now, we're not looking to build a system that's specifically for advertising, but certainly, that's part of the commerce that allows people to have themselves heard, add some pocket coin.
	Now, remember in the beginning, I said that the authors can earn now.
	The amazing thing about Bastion is that authors get 100% of the advertising revenue because Bastion is not a corporation.
	It's not Google.
	It's not Facebook.
	It doesn't need earnings.
	It doesn't need to have a board or impress investors or earn all this kind of money.
	Basically, if people come in and advertise for 5,000 pocket coin, well, that pocket coin is all going to go to authors and to note holders.
	So it's a whole economy.
	I even have a slide.
	It's like, you know, economy is like water in nature.
	Pocket coin goes to the author From advertiser, then the author can possibly sell it to go eat or something like that or create a cover for the next video.
	Then the advertiser buys it.
	So it's like a whole economy.
	In the cryptocurrency space, there's nothing like that because most cryptos are there basically for scarcity and they try to be clones of, most of them, clones of Bitcoin and they try to build a network by collecting this ICO or all this money.
	And pumping the money into the coin.
	Bastion is different.
	There's no ICO. There's no, like, advertising budget.
	It's real people using real, you know, it's like people's coin.
	You can say Pcoin is a pocket coin, but it's also people's coin.
	Now, I think from the first time I interviewed you about this, I think pocket coin was something like 24 cents.
	And I'm looking at it right now today, and it's 64 cents.
	So it's more than doubled since then.
	And I think I saw it at 72 cents or something.
	But the point is...
	You're not here to talk about speculation on the coin, and I'm not either.
	We're talking about the utility of it.
	But I have a request, and perhaps I'm not aware of this, but I've wanted to know if there's an easier marketplace to trade Pcoin with other coins.
	I'm not even talking about buying it with dollars or credit cards.
	I'm saying swap Bitcoin for Pcoin or the other way around, swap Pcoin for Bitcoin.
	Is that kind of marketplace...
	Something that exists that I don't know about or could it exist and could it be part of the interface?
	Well, there are a couple of exchanges that have pocket coin on them and they're traded, I think, against Bitcoin or USDT. I'll be honest.
	We're a different project.
	We don't focus on coin first.
	For us, it's the platform, and the coin is there to let everybody earn.
	So there are exchanges, cryptocurrency exchanges, where you can buy and sell pocket coin.
	But also, there is a category, if you log in, and on the left, there are different categories like memes and so on.
	There's a category called pocket coin peer-to-peer.
	And that's what is really dear to me.
	I really believe that the economy must be peer-to-peer, hence the barter on.
	On barter on, you can barter stuff, but you could also use crypto wherever it's legal.
	You can use not just pocket coin, any kind of crypto.
	To my mind, crypto is meant to be peer-to-peer.
	The day that crypto becomes, and I think that day has come, unfortunately, for many of the cryptocurrencies that It's focused on exchanges and on trading.
	It's basically lost its meaning.
	Yes.
	Even though it can be worth a lot of money.
	And KYC. All the KYC requirements of all these changes.
	It's a nightmare.
	Exactly.
	Because the KYC then allows them to reconstruct the whole picture and then it becomes like just another visa, you know?
	People talk about CVDCs, right?
	Or CVDCs.
	They're not going to warn you about CVDCs.
	You know, your visa card.
	You're walking around with a plastic card with a microchip.
	That has your location, that has your name, your passport, everything.
	So they're trying to turn crypto into that.
	So exchanges are fine for people who want to buy a decent amount or whatever.
	But I'm glad when people do it peer-to-peer.
	And I always try to do everything peer-to-peer because that's a great precedent.
	And there is a category.
	And if you go in there, you will always find people who want to get rid of pocket coin or buy pocket coin.
	And you can exchange it on Barteron.
	Now you can exchange it for goods.
	So, that's the real value.
	I believe that's the real promise of crypto.
	And I think that promise has been subverted to a large degree, but we're trying to restore it.
	The real promise of crypto is peer-to-peer.
	It's not about to the moon.
	It's not about 10x or 20x.
	It's let's have a coin that is usable in daily life.
	And that's all of the work.
	And then when the pocket coin, and it's already usable, I know, I see it, that people are using it amongst themselves.
	Well, what happens then is that the authors that create content are that much more incentivized to create it because now there's more value to the coin.
	And the advertisers spend money.
	They make this money.
	Like, you know, some authors, they say, I don't want to sell.
	I will just, you know, it's my nest egg or whatever.
	So the beauty of it is we want to step out of the banker system, right?
	That's what we want to do.
	Well, we want to, I know you're aware of this because somebody from your team has been working with us on this, and I don't even know the status, I admit, but we want to accept Bitcoin as payment in our store.
	And then we would spend that Pcoin as advertising on the platform for our content.
	Do you happen to know what's the status of that project or what difficulties?
	I don't because, you know, Bastion is not like a company and people don't report to me.
	I can find out.
	There are chats for developers and GitHub.
	Okay.
	Actually, there are people joining.
	If you're listening to this, you're a developer...
	Go to GitHub, find PocketNet team, and just join.
	You just join and you start writing code.
	You start making comments.
	So I will chase that down and find out.
	Last I heard there was some problem with Shopify, but let me find that out.
	I do know that Shopify...
	It has really locked down any kind of APIs and things like that, and it might be that we have to go completely outside Shopify in order to do that.
	I'm not sure either, but that's an interest that I have, and I know that you have, and maybe the two of us can tell our teams to see if this is possible to make it work.
	Yeah, I mean, the developers of Bastion respect me.
	I'm not their boss, but they respect me.
	Certainly, I will.
	And, you know, that's the promise, I think, of Bastion, is that we realize that we talk about Bastion of free speech, and it is.
	But Bastion of free speech needs to be built on a very solid foundation, and that foundation is that the authors...
	And node holders, the computer holders, need to earn something.
	Yes.
	Because otherwise it will not work in the long run.
	So it's crucial and important that pocket coin is actually real people's coin when people use it.
	So any project like that, they just jump on it.
	Well, thanks for reminding me because I post constantly on Bastion or Brighttown.io.
	Everything that I post on X, by the way, I'm posting simultaneously on Brighttown.io.
	I know, I'm subscribed.
	I'm subscribed.
	Okay.
	So you know I'm posting all late hours of the night, all day, except when I'm here.
	But there are some things that I don't post on X that I do post on Brighttown, things that I think I might get banned for in particular.
	That's wise.
	You want to keep that account, yeah.
	Yeah, so I'm self-censoring on X. It's quite edgy, and some of these things definitely will get you off of X. And it's not going to be Elon Musk himself, believe me.
	He won't even know.
	Right.
	But one of the things...
	So here's...
	Here's a feature request.
	I apologize for just doing this publicly, but one of the things that I would love to see possible is, like, I can take a small video, less than 40 megabytes, let's say.
	I consider that a small video, and I can just drag it onto the interface on X or Telegram.
	I can just drag a video to Telegram, or I can drag it onto our Bright Town Social.
	And I know that Bastion, it's designed to be low bandwidth, it's not designed to be a video platform, so it's kind of overburdening the system in a sense, but is there a way to make small video sharing just easier?
	I will find out.
	I mean, it's what you describe as a front-end feature that seems to me quite doable.
	The only thing to remember is that there are a number of developers, but they don't collect a salary, so they're overburdened right now.
	And there are two things that are coming that I think are very important, and I should tell you about that.
	One of it is scheduled posts.
	I think you will like that, too.
	You'll be able to schedule your posts in advance.
	Yeah.
	And just set the time.
	That's coming using basically delayed transaction on the blockchain.
	The other thing that's coming, I think, is massively important.
	One of the most important features that didn't come out yet is collections.
	Basically, collection is where you go in and you take, let's say, your posts from some category, not just videos.
	It could be videos.
	It could be articles.
	And you collect it into a collection that's thematic.
	That's important because a lot of the social media now in Bastion too, which that's my regret, is that it's too short memory, right?
	Basically, it slips down and down into the feed and then you have to look for it.
	What I want is that the content that you posted, I mean, there are some things I know of because one of the ways I got introduced to you was your audiobook.
	It was about the crisis and electricity.
	I vividly remember it.
	I don't remember the name, but there was a lot about electricity and crisis and so on.
	That audiobook is two years old, but it doesn't matter.
	It should be on your front page.
	Collection will allow you to take all the posts, let's say, about prepping and put it in one collection.
	That, I think, is huge because we don't want to have that mentality that the world is trying to impress upon us that everything that matters happened in the last hour.
	That's why people don't forget, hey, they promised you three years ago no war.
	They promised you this, they promised you that.
	Three years ago, I hardly remember what happened last week.
	So we want to have this kind of, that's going to be a huge addition because these collections will be in your profile and they can be posted from two years ago, three years ago.
	Basically, something that you feel is really important that cannot afford to be stored somewhere, you know, in the back.
	So those things are coming.
	I will ask about this and let's see if they can produce it.
	Okay, well, it's fantastic.
	And the team of developers that work on Bastion slash Brighteon.io, they're real professionals.
	I've been so impressed with everything they've built.
	And the fact that it just works so smoothly...
	I don't see a lot of bugs.
	Maybe you see more on the back end or in staging before they go public or live.
	I don't see bugs.
	I see a smooth interface that works.
	It's virtually seamless.
	And I've managed a lot of developer projects before, obviously on our platforms, and it's a nightmare to try to get the bugs worked out.
	How does your team do this?
	You say they're not salaried.
	And I understand.
	I mean, you're telling the truth.
	I'm not challenging you.
	They're not salaried.
	How are they so good and yet mostly volunteer?
	It's rare.
	There are some developers.
	There are some minor developers that I pay out of my pocket because there's some things that I don't want to bore or bother the core, Bastion core devs.
	But there are a few things that are at work there.
	The one thing is the culture of Bastion development.
	It's like a really guerilla culture in a very good way because a lot of these people worked in corporate projects and so on, but they had to learn that in a project like Bastion, you don't have a QA team, you don't have people backing you up.
	There were a lot of problems early on.
	But they all test their work very thoroughly, or most of them do.
	Very rarely that there's a hiccup there.
	But also, I should say that it's a classic example of solidarity.
	There is a group of Bastion volunteers, and if you want to join, you can write to support at bastion.com, where there's, I think, up to 40 people now that pre-test every release.
	They're actually users.
	So what they do is...
	A month before the release or two weeks before the release, they will install the app that is not released yet, and they're heavy-duty users, so they find so many problems.
	Because you cannot write as system complex as this, you cannot be without bugs.
	But the point is that we have a whole group of volunteers, of users that help us find the bugs, and then the developer, that's why the releases are generally clean.
	Yeah.
	Well, and I want to remind people that you can access brighteon.io or bastion.com.
	You can access it through any browser, first of all.
	You don't need an account, like I'm showing you the screen right here, and here's a post about Butter.
	You're going to find a wide variety of content here.
	But you can also download the applications.
	Again, brighteon.io slash applications.
	You can get the Android app.
	There is a Mac OS app.
	There's a Windows app, which is what I use.
	iPhone is not currently supported by Apple, correct?
	No, there is an iPhone app.
	It was released some months ago after many years of...
	Basically, they asked us to remove anything related to PocketCoin and many other things.
	So there are some things removed, but being an iPhone user, if you're not comfortable...
	I mean, if you're a savvy user on iPhone, I suggest you're using it in Safari.
	You can just create an icon on your home screen.
	It's going to be just like a native app, maybe no notifications, but that's not even a bad thing.
	But if you're not comfortable with the browser and less tech savvy, just go to the App Store.
	Bastion is there.
	You will get content.
	You will get all the authors.
	There is no censorship.
	I mean, until Apple deletes the app.
	But for now.
	Okay.
	And let me mention to all the users, if you want to follow me, My username is healthranger.
	It's just at healthranger or healthranger.
	And I want to say, Daniel, that bastion slash brighttown.io, I've announced this many times, this is my default emergency comms channel.
	For if there is a takedown of DNS selectively, if they take down Natural News or they take down Brighttown.com, I mean, they're auctioning off InfoWars right now through Lawfare.
	They're taking down Alex Jones at InfoWars.
	They're auctioning his equipment, for God's sake.
	They're trying to auction off his social media names, his accounts.
	I knew they would do that.
	Yeah, we discussed that.
	I mean, they're gonna go all the way.
	He needs to change his name to like Ye Did or Prince and have like an artistic name and have like an app like you have right now.io.
	He needs to have an app in his name with Bastion.
	But going beyond that, I will say that For most people that probably listen to you, it's not necessary, but I will still say that on an off chance that it's shared to somebody.
	I don't know how you feel, but I don't have a whole lot of time to consume content, but I do keep up with some news, technology, finance.
	And YouTube, even in those areas, is becoming insufferable because technology and finance is more and more encroaching in those areas where they censor.
	So it's less and less interesting.
	So you find out less and less about the world.
	So if you're still using YouTube predominantly, I think that I don't want to call you names, but you're numbing your brain because that's what it does.
	I used to go into YouTube.
	I have 20 minutes.
	I want to watch a finance video because my feed is full of them.
	And then I want to watch something about politics.
	I would scroll for like 10 seconds.
	I would find something interesting.
	Now, if I go periodically to YouTube, I do periodically go.
	I will scroll up and down for like five minutes.
	I will find nothing that I even want to click on despite all these clickbait titles and so on.
	It's just they kill the platform.
	So I think many people are using it just by inertia.
	You need to get out of inertia.
	We're in a different world.
	I'm right there with you, and I agree with your assessment of what YouTube has done.
	And I want your comments on Rumble.
	And let me say about Rumble, first of all, I greatly honor Chris Pavlovsky and what he has achieved with Rumble.
	And Rumble has many of the top feeds of personalities and people who were banned on YouTube.
	But...
	It's hard for me to use Rumble because when I go to Rumble, all I get are things I'm not interested in, video games, martial arts.
	I mean, I'm a martial artist, but I don't go online to watch martial arts.
	I practice it.
	But Rumble, it seems to be geared to men in their 20s and 30s.
	That's not what I want to hear.
	You know, I want to hear geopolitical analysis.
	I want to hear experts on gold and silver.
	Most of the guys I want to hear from are 50 years old or older, and that's not Rumble.
	You know, it's just the way it is.
	Well, that's probably what their investors want, and it's good for them.
	I mean, I definitely don't want to say anything negative about Rumble.
	No, no.
	Rumble's great.
	I support them.
	Yeah, and I know you sound very positive.
	Maybe I'm not as positive as you are, and I'll explain why.
	So, initially, I was very skeptical.
	I was highly skeptical because I knew how much money they were offering, and I know when you're offering tens of millions of dollars, People who give that money usually will make you toe the line.
	But so far, Rumble has been pretty outstanding in that.
	And I don't go to Rumble per se, but there are some authors where I will, let's say, be in Telegram and they'll post a link to Rumble.
	I will go to the Rumble channel and I will see what the recommended videos are.
	Usually the video I clicked on is very good, but the recommended ones are not, so I don't stay.
	That's been my experience.
	They withstood the pressure.
	The question becomes, to me, and that's why Bastion is built the way it is, because I'm not saying we could have done Rumble, but we could have done something like that.
	We could have built another Facebook, freedom-oriented Facebook, would have gone to people that are freedom-oriented for money, maybe not tens of millions, but millions, and built the centralized platform that way.
	We would say, look, we're the good guys.
	We're not going to censor.
	We would be completely sincere about that.
	The problem is that you cannot promise that as a corporation.
	Remember, the corporation that's behind you supersedes you as a founder, as a top engineer, as anybody.
	So anybody at Rumble, they cannot promise you anything.
	They cannot.
	They cannot promise you because they don't control what the corporation will do.
	What could happen, not saying it will, I don't know who's behind.
	Honestly, I didn't investigate, but at a certain point in time, and it's going to be the worst possible point in time, They will deprive you of some information.
	What are you going to do?
	Because remember, the authors are putting in years of work.
	They're like free journalists.
	You as a user of a platform, you're an employee of YouTube or Rumble.
	Because they have the algorithms, they have the AI that gathers your data and learns from it.
	They can be pressured, just like Elon Musk was pressured by Brazil.
	Brazil shut down X and just said, look, if you want X to work in Brazil, you're going to have to censor these accounts.
	And X complied.
	And look at what they did to Pavel of Telegram.
	Same thing.
	Arrest you.
	Threatened to throw you in prison for life unless you give them backdoors access to content.
	So your point is well taken.
	You're exactly right.
	And I'm sorry to cut you off, but we are out of time.
	Final thoughts today, Daniel.
	What do you want to leave our audience with?
	Well, going on the promise theme, right?
	We have to be very careful about what you promise because you have to really fulfill it.
	The Bastion promise is this, that As we discussed, neither I nor developers can ban anybody.
	The code is open sourced.
	Even if they subverted all of us, which, you know, everybody's human.
	I don't intend to be subverted, but you know what?
	There are methods.
	And, you know, like, there are stories about, you know, horrific tortures that people, you know, withstand, and who knows, right?
	The point is that Bastion Promise is not about personalities.
	You know, I spent a lot of time discussing it, and I love this.
	It's something that I put, you know, my life in.
	I prepared, I think, all my life for that project.
	And for the last eight years, I was kind of fulfilling that.
	But ultimately, the promise is that the code is open-based.
	It can be copied.
	It has no copyright.
	There's no corporation.
	It's not about the good guys or bad guys.
	It's about the fact that technically, the thing is built to last.
	What you need to realize is that we're in a different world.
	When people say, we need to get rid of the fiat money, the dollar and euro and whatever, We need to get rid of this.
	We need to get rid of the old medicine, which we do.
	And I agree with you.
	A lot of things you say, everything, I think.
	So we need to get rid of this and that.
	But you don't get rid of the old internet.
	Is that logical?
	You're entering a completely new environment.
	Yeah.
	Daniel, we're almost out of time, Daniel.
	Sorry.
	But the point is that, to finish that, you need to think about the future in terms of technology.
	And I believe Bastion is a part of the answer there.
	I completely agree with you.
	That's why I'm such a strong advocate of your platform and your tech, and that's why we have put a face on it, put a Brighteon.io face on Bastion.
	And I love the fact we don't have to host any servers.
	Nobody does.
	There are not central servers, so it can't be seized or taken down.
	There are nodes, hundreds or thousands of nodes all over the world.
	So this is absolutely bulletproof against tyranny.
	So, Daniel, I just want to thank you so much for your contributions here and what you and all the team members and all the volunteers, the coders, the developers, the content people, they're building what I believe is going to be the system for freedom for the future of humanity.
	I think that Bastion one day can actually outpace Twitter or X. I think that's where it's headed.
	I mean, A billion users, is it possible?
	It's possible, okay?
	Will it take time?
	Yes, but it's got a structure that is pro-freedom and pro-human, so thank you for building it, and I look forward to working with you more.
	Thank you so much, Mike.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Daniel.
	Bye.
	All right.
	Take care.
	Wow.
	Just an amazing technology.
	Go to brighton.io and you can view it there.
	You can use it through your browser.
	You can create an account.
	You don't even need to use a phone number.
	It can be anonymous and you can start posting content or reading content and you can start earning P coin actually by posting content.
	And also bastion.com is the founding site where the same interface exists.
	And you can also go to slash applications to download the apps that Daniel spoke about.
	Thank you for watching today.
	I'm Mike Adams of bastion.com, here to help support human freedom, health freedom, and a free world for the future of humanity.
	Thank you for watching today.
	God bless you all.
	Take care.
	Your own government has the power to activate a kill switch on all telecommunications, instantly shutting down all private phone calls and texts.
	An EMP weapon or solar flare can achieve the same result.
	Rolling blackouts or permanent power outages will also take out the power supply to cell tower antennas, rendering mobile devices all but useless.
	During these emergencies, how do you stay in touch with the important people in your life anywhere on the planet?
	The answer is the Bivy Stick at sat123.com.
	The Bivy Stick is a two-way satellite text messaging device that uses a satellite constellation, not cell towers, to send and receive text messages.
	It works anywhere on planet Earth, including in war zones or blackout areas.
	In unpredictable times, the Bivy Stick helps you stay connected when it matters most.
