	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Got a new song for you today and a music video country western style with a lead fiddle.
	Because I'm not fiddling around.
	Well, actually, in this case, I am fiddling around.
	You're going to get to hear it here coming up.
	Welcome.
	It's Brighteon Broadcast News for Friday, February 21st.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	Two amazing book illustration videos for you, plus some special reports, plus an interview, plus commentary on today's shocking news.
	I mean, what do you say when the UK Prime Minister says that they want to wage war with Russia and they're going to start conscription, you know, a military draft of UK citizens and they think they're going to...
	Like, wish an army into existence.
	What do you say to that?
	I mean, but that's today's news, among other things.
	It's amazing.
	And UBI is here.
	Universal Basic Income has been announced by Elon Musk.
	Except they just call it the Doge Dividend.
	I've got a video clip for you coming up.
	And watching the clip was part of an interview that I did with Michael Ferris from Coffee and a Mic.
	And I realized in that clip, nobody told me the back of my hair was all jacked up.
	So my own crew didn't even say anything.
	They're probably laughing.
	Like, let's let him just do a full video and not tell him.
	But who cares?
	Nobody cares about how your hair looks.
	And frankly, nobody cares what car you drive.
	Nobody cares.
	That's why people used to make fun of me years ago when I used to drive a minivan.
	I did.
	I had a Toyota minivan, and people would mock me.
	Like, what are you, like, dad?
	You know?
	Like, no, this thing's got massive cargo space.
	A minivan is the largest cargo space that you can get without going to an actual cargo van.
	Like, this thing's, like, it's really practical.
	Like, wow, that's so not cool.
	But like I said, nobody cares what you drive, and nobody really cares what your hair looks like.
	Depending on what happens, I may actually have that full interview with Mike Ferris, or I may have a different interview for you.
	I'm actually waiting for the file to come in, the link.
	So if it comes in while I'm recording here, then we'll do it.
	If not, I have a different interview to play for you, so we'll see what that is.
	Now, on the news side of things, two very interesting things happened today.
	CEO of Pfizer, this is in some, I don't know, some meeting that he had with the press there.
	I'm not even going to play the video for you, but he introduced the Pfizer guy, Burla, is that how you pronounce his name?
	And Trump said he's like one of the greatest businessmen in the world, and the crowd just booed.
	The crowd booed, and thank God, you know, the people get it, even if Trump still is blind to Pfizer.
	And all of us are saying, hey, Trump, read the room, man.
	The people are sick and tired of the jabs of Pfizer, of Big Pharma.
	Come on.
	These pharma CEOs are not heroes.
	They're not great businessmen.
	They are, in my opinion, mass murderers.
	They're carrying out a medical holocaust against humanity.
	They should be arrested and prosecuted, not introduced as great people.
	Trump is looking at banning COVID vaccines, like pulling them off the market, effectively.
	I've got a special report about that.
	And Trump has issued an executive order that tells schools, universities, etc., that they cannot mandate the COVID vaccine or they will lose federal funding.
	So, you know, it's weird.
	On one hand, Trump is going to war against vaccines.
	On the other hand, he's praising the CEO of Pfizer, one of the most egregiously evil...
	Pharma companies ever in existence, in my opinion.
	So, what is this?
	It's like, multiple personality Trump.
	What's going on?
	It's like, get it right, man.
	Get it right.
	Anyway, hey, look, nobody's perfect.
	Trump is doing amazing things.
	I do want to be clear about that.
	Akash Patel got confirmed.
	That seems awesome.
	And RFK Jr., our superhero at HHS, he announced that he's going after direct-to-consumer drug advertising.
	He wants to ban drug ads on TV, which is the way it used to be until 1997. You didn't have drug ads on TV or in magazines or sporting events or whatever in the 1980s or even in the early 1990s.
	It was illegal.
	And then, you know, Big Pharma lobbied the FDA to legalize it in 97, kind of 98. It really started kicking in and ever since then, Pfizer and the other drug companies bought the media.
	They bought off the media.
	And the press became the prostitutes, big pharma whores, and then, you know, pushing the psychiatric disorders and pushing statin drugs and pushing HRT drugs that gave women cancer, and then pushing vaccines and jabs all during COVID, everything brought to you by Pfizer.
	And then, you know, paying off senators like Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden and the whole bunch of those pharma whores in the...
	In the Capitol building.
	And this has got to end.
	This has got to stop.
	So RFK Jr. is the man, I believe, to help get that done.
	And I've got a couple of special reports for you on that.
	In fact, you know what?
	Let's just play those now because it's the right segue.
	And then I will play for you my new country western song with music video.
	And it's called Going Back in Time is Coming Home.
	So let's start with the short report here on how Trump may ban COVID vaccines.
	And I recorded this report earlier today before I saw the video of Trump getting booed for introducing the Pfizer CEO. How crazy is that?
	Anyway, check out this special report.
	The word is that Trump is going to ban COVID vaccines, or at least sort of pull them off the market for a reassessment.
	That's effectively a ban because if they are reassessed for safety and efficacy, they will fail.
	And they'll never be reintroduced.
	So it's effectively a ban.
	But it gives Trump and it gives RFK Jr. the cover of saying, you know, we just want this to be data-driven, which is great.
	We just want the evidence.
	So we're going to suspend the vaccines until we have evidence of their safety.
	And then begin the clinical trials.
	Because we know what those clinical trials are going to show.
	We all know.
	That's no question.
	All kinds of death and disease and clots and strokes and heart problems and sudden death.
	Yeah, that's what it's going to show.
	Now, this is a really important thing to understand, that Operation Warp Speed, this is the thing that I've criticized Trump over more than anything else.
	And probably so have you, many of us in the health freedom movement.
	Have criticized Trump for Operation Warp Speed because he bragged about it.
	And even during the campaign, he doubled down and he tripled down on it.
	You know, he was really saying that it was a great thing.
	Well, it turns out that that was just campaign talk.
	Because the actions that Trump is taking now tell a different story.
	And I'm very relieved to learn this.
	See, Trump has issued an order to...
	All educational institutions across the country stating that if they mandate vaccines, COVID vaccines, excuse me, then they would lose federal funding.
	Now, this order does not apply to all the other vaccines, but it does apply to COVID vaccines, which are currently the most dangerous with the mRNA technology.
	And so that alone tells you that Trump is not a vaccine pusher.
	If he were, he wouldn't have issued that order.
	And if he were a vaccine pusher, he wouldn't be now contemplating this effective ban on COVID vaccines, which I believe will happen.
	So what does that tell you?
	It tells you that during the campaign, Trump had to sort of say enough positive things about vaccines to avoid being smeared by the media and called an anti-vaxxer and called a danger to public health, which is what they did to RFK Jr. They said to RFK Jr. that, oh, if he runs HHS, polio is going to come back and we're all going to die from polio.
	Total nonsense, of course.
	Almost every case of polio in the world right now is caused by a vaccine, a polio vaccine.
	There's not any real threat from polio.
	It's all nonsense.
	Polio vanished when we had better sanitation and running water.
	You know, working toilets and soap and things like that.
	Just public hygiene ended polio.
	It wasn't even the vaccine.
	But, you know, the narrative has been pushed by the fake news media and the medical establishment and the fake science communities to say, oh, you know, the polio was eradicated by vaccines.
	Nope, never happened.
	Never happened.
	Suzanne Humphreys, her book, Dissolving Illusions, exposes the whole thing.
	With all the charts and the timelines and everything, you can see it's obvious.
	Polio was almost gone before the polio vaccine even came into existence.
	And since the vaccine came in, polio has gone up, especially in countries like India, from the polio vaccine.
	So the vaccines aren't helping anybody.
	But if Trump said he was opposed to vaccines, or if RFK Jr. said that he was opposed to vaccines, Then they would have been just raked over the coals by the pro-vax media, which is funded by Big Pharma.
	And so one of the key victories that needs to happen, and I believe Bobby and Donald Trump are on this track, is that you've got to stop Big Pharma from funding the media.
	You've got to ban, in other words, direct-to-consumer drug advertising.
	Because if that advertising is allowed, then Big Pharma will just buy off the media.
	And that's exactly what they have done.
	And they will continue to do that.
	And the media will smear anybody that points out the dangers of vaccines or how they don't work or links between vaccines and autism or anything of that nature.
	And so you have to break the collusion between media and Big Pharma.
	And in order to do that, Well, you have to get elected, you know, so Trump had to get elected and RFK Jr. had to get confirmed.
	And that has now happened.
	And now you're starting to see them unleashed on this issue of vaccines.
	Just as I promised during the confirmation trials, I said publicly, I said, RFK Jr. does not work for the senators.
	He's working for us.
	He's working for the people.
	And I believe I know the man's heart that He is here to protect the American people and especially to protect the children from toxic vaccines.
	The things that he had to say to the senators, those were just, that's performance art.
	Those are things the senators needed to hear in order to allow him to be voted into office so that he could clean this whole thing up.
	And frankly, there might be a lot of senators that...
	Even publicly opposed him, but are very happy that he's the secretary of HHS now.
	Because if Big Pharma is restricted, let's say, from donating to senators, then it takes that out of the equation and these senators are free from having to serve as puppets to the pharmaceutical industry.
	They might actually appreciate that.
	I don't know about Elizabeth Warren.
	I think she's always a whore for Big Pharma.
	She loves whoring herself out to the pharmaceutical industry.
	So does Ron Wyden and Bernie Sanders and so on.
	But there are other senators who would prefer not to be prostitutes to a death industry.
	And they would love the opportunity to, you know, do something different.
	So now it's the moment of truth.
	I should say it's going to be a couple of years of truth here.
	And we're going to get to see how much RFK Jr. can get done and how much Trump can get done.
	And it's now clear to me they're going after the vaccines.
	As they should.
	Because if you want to make America healthy again, you've got to stop the vaccine damage and the vaccine deaths and the vaccine depopulation agenda.
	That's the only way to make this country healthy again.
	And that process has begun.
	And we are very fortunate and very blessed by God to be in this position right now to have this opportunity to change the future for the better.
	We need to see mass arrests of FDA officials, CDC officials.
	NIAID officials like Fauci, we need to see criminal prosecutions.
	Yes, I agree.
	We need to see testimony of what they did.
	We need to have full disclosure of the COVID crimes, the vaccine crimes, the bioweapons labs, the gain-of-function engineering at the Wuhan labs.
	Yes, we need all that to come out.
	I mean, some of it has come out, but we need more clear admissions, confessions by the guilty who took part in this.
	That's what we need.
	And I'm okay with offering them immunity if they confess.
	Full confession, you get full immunity.
	How about that, huh?
	I'm even okay with Fauci.
	If Fauci confesses to everything, I'm okay with granting him full immunity.
	I'm okay with that.
	I don't need to see him punished.
	I need the truth to come out more.
	So that's what should happen, is the DOJ should roll over.
	To NIAID and CDC, FDA, NIH. Say, look, here's who we're going to prosecute.
	Here's this list of like 5,000 people.
	You either confess or you're going to be arrested.
	You've got, you know, you got two weeks to figure out what you want to do.
	How about that?
	And those who don't confess, you put them in handcuffs, you prosecute them and you lock them up.
	That's what you do.
	All right.
	Thank you for listening.

	Thank you for listening.
	Take care.
	All right.
	Now, I want to play another report for you.
	Which reveals how the FDA remains a grave threat to America, and it has to be dismantled or reformed.
	The FDA is not helping America at all.
	The FDA is hurting America every day.
	It's harming people.
	It's killing children every day.
	The FDA is a scourge on the society.
	It is a terrorist organization.
	It is a weapon against humanity.
	It's got to be stopped.
	And that's what this special report is all about.
	So give this a listen.
	Here we go.
	The FDA remains a grave threat to America.
	However much you already hate the FDA, I can assure you, you don't hate them nearly enough.
	In fact, as I say, the DOJ needs to criminally prosecute a large list of top people at the FDA who have been involved in the COVID scam, the fraudulent approval.
	Of COVID vaccines that are killing Americans.
	Over 1.5 million Americans have been killed by those vaccines, according to good numbers coming out of Ed Dowd's group.
	And many millions more have been injured and maimed and disabled.
	And I got to say, the people that work for the FDA, these are not good people.
	These are malicious people.
	When FDA officials and employees, when they wake up in the morning, The first question they ask themselves is how they can harm America today.
	That's what they ask themselves because, you see, they earn money from Big Pharma, which earns money from sickness and disease and suffering.
	And so FDA officials and FDA employees, what they want to know and what they ask themselves is how can they harm Americans today?
	How can they...
	How can they make more Americans sick?
	How can they separate Americans from nutrition that can prevent disease?
	How can they hurt this country?
	That's what the FDA is.
	It's the Federal Death Agency, FDA. But it's not instant death.
	They want you to suffer because that's what generates profits for big pharma.
	All the FDA officials know that if they do a good enough job generating sickness and disease and profits for Big Pharma, well, they will be offered jobs in Big Pharma.
	It's the old revolving door.
	It's regulatory capture.
	And this is exactly why it is a great victory that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now the Secretary of Health and Human Services, HHS, which sits on top of FDA. And, of course, I've been a strong supporter of RFK Jr. and a strong supporter of real reforms, a strong supporter of nutrition and health and wellness for the American people.
	I've been doing this for nearly 25 years.
	And I have been maliciously targeted by the FDA, targeted by the DOD, smeared, censored, deplatformed, you name it, right?
	Because they are desperate.
	To maintain their criminal fiefdom that's rooted on sickness and disease, and they don't want voices like mine that teach people how to prevent cancer, how to prevent heart disease, how to prevent type 2 diabetes.
	They don't want that information out there.
	And I'll add this, if we don't see criminal prosecutions of some top people at the FDA and NIAID, like Fauci in particular, if we don't see criminal prosecutions, then it's a failure.
	Then all this has been a failure.
	The criminal prosecutions have to happen for this nation to be able to heal.
	Because so many Americans have been murdered by the FDA. So many Americans have been kept sick.
	The FDA runs around destroying nutritional supplement companies.
	They prop up Big Pharma.
	They accept any evidence whatsoever from Big Pharma.
	No matter what, they say, oh, it's all good.
	We don't need clinical trials.
	We don't need, you know, proof.
	We don't need evidence.
	But then, when they talk to nutritional supplement companies like mine, they're like, you have to produce evidence.
	Where's your evidence?
	You know, they don't say that to Big Pharma.
	To Big Pharma, they just say, make whatever claims you want.
	We'll accept it as true.
	It's absurd.
	And then they claim to be evidence-based medicine.
	They claim to be driven by science.
	What a joke.
	I believe that RFK Jr. is going to make some real changes to that.
	And frankly, I think he should split the FDA, if not completely shut it down.
	I mean, my preference would be to completely shut it down.
	Fire them all.
	There are no good people in the FDA. There are no good employees.
	There are no angels in the FDA. There's nobody in the FDA that wakes up and says, how do we make America healthy again?
	Nobody.
	They don't say, oh, how can we connect people with better nutrition?
	How can we prevent disease?
	How can we teach people the basics of shopping for groceries that are going to support sustainable health rather than promote chronic degenerative disease?
	There's nobody in the FDA like that.
	If you fire them all, kick them all out onto the streets, America would be healthier the very next day.
	Same thing with the CDC. There is nobody at the CDC, literally not a single soul, At the CDC. That wakes up and says, how do we actually prevent disease in America?
	Because if they did, they would say, you need vitamin A. You need vitamin D. You need vitamin C. I mean, all of it.
	Measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, bird flu.
	It's all just vitamin deficiencies.
	Across the board, that's all it is.
	And if you have good nutrition in America, you don't have pandemics.
	You don't have outbreaks.
	And you don't need the CDC. So the CDC and the FDA together, they spend their time colluding to keep America nutritionally deficient so that people get sick, so the CDC can claim there's an outbreak, so they can push toxic, deadly vaccines that benefit Big Pharma, which then offers bribes and kickbacks to FDA officials and CDC officials, and they also offer them jobs.
	You see the scam?
	You see the fraud?
	It's a criminal fraud.
	Cartel of evil, insidious people that are basically terrorists targeting America.
	It's a terrorist operation, and it's got to be shut down.
	And I don't even know if RFK Jr. is going to take a shot at that.
	I think he's just going to push for reforms, which is a step in the right direction, obviously.
	But it's not enough.
	These agencies are just inherently evil.
	And I don't think that you can get that out of their culture.
	You have to actually, in my opinion, you got to dismantle it, shut it all down.
	Shut it all down.
	And then let the states, send it back to the states.
	Let the states regulate if they want to.
	What is medicine?
	What is nutrition?
	What is food?
	Let them regulate it.
	And yeah, we don't want...
	Peanut butter companies making peanut butter that's chock full of, you know, E. coli or whatever.
	But we also don't want government running around slaughtering millions of chickens because they claim they ran a PCR test on some hen and, oh, that's bird flu, kill them all.
	It's complete nonsense, total fraud, total quackery, utterly unscientific, a total joke.
	Again, we would be better off without the FDA, the CDC, the EPA. We'd be better off without all of them.
	Their net impact on this country is just death and disease and destruction that benefits one industry, and that's Big Pharma, which pushes the vaccines.
	So that's the whole purpose of the FDA, is to harm you and generate profits for their pals over at Big Pharma.
	And if you think FDA does anything good for America, you're living in a dream world.
	They're not even trying to do anything good.
	That's not even their mandate.
	Their mandate is to harm America.
	Just like Google's mandate is to keep America ignorant.
	Not to inform, not to be a search engine, but to be a disinformation hub that censors the truth about everything that matters.
	The FDA is also a disinformation hub, a disease hub that's designed to suppress nutrition that can end pandemics.
	Once you understand that, it all makes sense.
	So join me in calling for RFK Jr. to dismantle the FDA, call for DOJ prosecutions and arrests of top FDA officials and top CDC officials, etc.
	And join me in calling for health freedom.
	And there's a group that works on that.
	It's the Alliance for Natural Health, ANH-USA. I think it's a dot...
	Maybe it's.com, but check them out.
	The Alliance for Natural Health, Dr. Verkirk, who I have interviewed now a couple of times, he's the founder.
	It's a really great organization standing up for freedom of speech in America.
	And that's what we need.
	Because like you, I want the American people to be healthy, to be informed.
	I don't want to take away their freedom, but I want them to know the options.
	If they still want to go out and live on Pop-Tarts and donuts, that's their choice.
	That's their freedom.
	They can become obese and diabetic if that's what they want to do.
	But at least I want them to know that there's a way to prevent diabetes.
	There's a way to prevent cancer.
	These are the herbs.
	These are the foods.
	These are the nutrients that can do that.
	And the FDA doesn't want any of that information to get out there because they're a terrorist organization.
	That's all they are.
	They are here to harm and kill Americans.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	Mike Adams here of naturalnews.com and brighteon.com.
	Check out all my interviews and videos at Brighteon, and God bless you all.
	God bless America.
	Take care.
	All right, continuing, let me play a video clip for you from my interview with Mike Ferris of Coffee and a Mike.
	And I love to do interviews with Mike.
	There's a few people that I'd like to be interviewed by.
	Like Seth Holhouse and Maria Z and Michael Ferris.
	I like to be interviewed by people who themselves are really smart and really informed.
	Otherwise, I feel like it's a waste of time.
	And I've done interviews with people who were frankly not qualified to interview me.
	They just didn't know anything about anything.
	And it's like, what are we doing here?
	Go learn things for 20 years and then come back and then we can have a conversation.
	You know, like you listening to this, right?
	Don't you find this in family and friends and social engagements, people around you?
	It's hard to have a conversation with people who are oblivious, isn't it?
	The only rewarding conversations are those with people who are up to speed, who have spent years learning about reality, learning about COVID, learning about the dangers of vaccines, learning about You know, the corruption of government and also the creative potential of humanity, the existence of the human soul and human consciousness and the divinity of our cosmos, all that on the positive side too.
	But it is a waste of time to talk to people who do not know any of that stuff, which would include almost all mainstream journalists, obviously.
	That's why I don't even bother talking to them.
	They are inconsequential to human civilization.
	But check out this clip because I think it's a great explanation.
	It's about a minute, 40 seconds, something like that.
	It's a really solid explanation of what's happening with the Doge dividend is actually a UBI. So check this out.
	Here we go.
	So notice that Doge is about to roll out a universal basic income.
	They're calling it a $5,000 refund.
	You notice how it's phrased, right?
	It's a universal basic income.
	It's $5,000 for every person in America.
	Why do they need to start sending money out to people?
	Why?
	Because the dollar is going into the dumpster.
	And just as a disclaimer, I don't know the timing.
	I don't, you know, maybe it's going to be very slow over time.
	Maybe it's going to be all of a sudden.
	But look at history, right?
	The people that held these currencies, they lost everything.
	That's what's coming.
	And what's the easiest way to devalue the dollar, right?
	I mean, give money away.
	Print it and give it away.
	And look, see, Trump is saying, let's end the IRS, right?
	So they're not even pretending that they're going to have tax revenues coming in to cover the money that they're giving out to people.
	UBI has just been renamed the Doge Dividend, okay?
	But it's a UBI. And it's not going to be a one-time deal, okay?
	They're going to start handing out like $5,000 every quarter and then $5,000 a month.
	They'll end the IRS. They don't need that.
	They're just going to print and print and print the old currency until they can pay off the $36 trillion and then they're going to launch something new backed by gold.
	That's my belief of what's coming.
	All right, hope you enjoyed that clip.
	And we're going to play the full interview.
	It's an hour and 12 minutes of me talking to Mike Ferris a few hours ago with my hair all jacked up.
	So that's coming up.
	And again, people like Michael Ferris, he brings out the best in me.
	Sitting down with somebody who can ask the right questions is better than doing a monologue.
	Because the right interviewer can invoke...
	And, you know, bring in questions and bring in perspectives that you wouldn't have thought of yourself.
	So it really is better.
	I mean, I, he just, he brings out the best information.
	So you're going to enjoy this interview.
	It's coming up.
	All right, now we're going to go to the music video.
	And this is a brand new song.
	It's actually a few weeks old.
	I mean, I wrote it.
	I wrote it actually, I think.
	Two months ago, but we've been working on the music video and we got distracted by other things.
	So I'm going to play the song and music video for you, and then on the other side, I will give you some background explanation of why I decided to write this song and really the whole, well, a short story about it.
	And understand that this is set in my childhood time period, which is the 1970s.
	So pre-technology, pre-internet, there's not a mobile phone in this entire video.
	And it's a heartwarming message about family and youth and growing up in a world without AI, without the internet, without mobile phones.
	And frankly, we were all way happier back then, weren't we?
	I mean, if you're anywhere close to my age, you remember, we were happier then than kids are today, that's for sure.
	So, check it out.
	out.
	It's a great video.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We parked our trucks at the old drive-in
	had each other and we never felt alone For all the days we left and prayed The golden memories that we made Cause going back in time is coming home We're
	Never very hard Listening to tree frogs singing in the creek Me and you playing hide and seek The memories are closed, the years are far Those days they may have disappeared in time But they're still fresh as morning sunshine in my mind Do you remember living when we parked our trucks
	At the old drive-in We had each other And we never felt alone For all the days we laughed and prayed The golden memories that we made Cause going back in time is coming home
	Fresh peach juice running down your chin Wild berries that seem to never end Running from the honeybee eyes Oh Lord it's good to feel alive Waking up to bacon and scrambled eggs Feel the skies on the sky I feel sorry for the kids being born today Cause they'll never get to feel that way
	Do you remember living when we parked our trucks at the old drive-in?
	We had each other We had each other And we never felt alone For all the days we laughed and prayed The golden memories that we made Cause going back in time is coming home Though we always wanted more Though we always wanted more Like the rich kids lived next door We never ever felt that we were poor
	We lived a life to see The love of wholesome family And we knew what life was like Living free Do you remember living when we parked our trucks At the old drive-in?
	We had each other, and we never felt alone.
	For all the days we laughed and prayed, the golden memories that we've made, cause going back in time is coming home.
	Going back in time is coming home.
	This is commentary about the new song, Going Back in Time, is Coming Home.
	This is a song that I came up with as, well, someone challenged me, actually, to do a country-western song, and I wanted to do one anyway.
	And many of you, well, I don't think anybody listening to this knows, there's actually, I have a distant cousin who wrote one of the most famous country-western songs ever recorded.
	And I'm not going to I love the idea of doing a song with a music video that takes us back in time to a simpler day, pre-technology, pre-internet, pre-mobile phones.
	There actually is an image of a mobile phone at the beginning, but it's saying that this is what we reject in the theme of this song.
	The rest of the song and all the videos, which are AI-generated, interestingly, show...
	Well, I try to have them depict the 1970s and youth and outdoor activities.
	There's a lot of fishing and playing baseball and riding bikes and things like that.
	And even the bikes had the old handlebars from the 1970s.
	I had a bike just like that.
	And what did we do as kids growing up in the 1970s or the 1980s?
	What did we do?
	We went outside and we played.
	And we built forts and tree houses and swings and bike jumping ramps.
	You know, we crashed on the ramps and whatever, and we built snowmen and climbed trees and stuff, and we lived in the real world, whereas today the kids are living in their virtual world.
	And I thought that a country-western style would be perfect to demonstrate this contrast.
	And so the way that I approach these songs is I come up with the chorus line first.
	I played around with a lot of ideas, and I came up with a really catchy line, which, of course, every country-western song that's going to be good has to have a catchy line.
	And the catchy line for this song is, going back in time is coming home.
	And that's a really catchy line.
	And I've had people listen to the song, and they're like, that's a hit, man.
	That's a country-western hit.
	That should be on the radio, you know?
	Like, well, okay, but you can download it for free.
	Music.brightian.com, but it would sure be cool if some country-western artist wanted to re-record the song with their own voice.
	I'd be totally open to that discussion.
	That would be awesome.
	Because, you know, country-western music can be very expressive, and I specifically chose the fiddle as the lead instrument for this song.
	Oh, and as a disclaimer, of course I use Suno as the AI engine, but understand that...
	I'm a songwriter.
	I'm a musician.
	I'm a performer.
	I've done all of it for years.
	I've done the vocals.
	I've done the sound engineering.
	I've done the music.
	I'm a keyboardist.
	I'm a percussionist, etc.
	So I know how to craft songs, but I use AI to make it way more effective, and of course I use AI-generated vocals here because I can't sing that well.
	Few people can, and I needed a very specific kind of voice for this.
	Actually, it turned into two different voices because I wasn't happy with the intro of the song in the original voice, and I reworked that to be a deeper voice.
	You may notice that throughout the song, the voice morphed a little bit so that the second verse sounds a little more nasal.
	But that's kind of an artifact of AI. Also, that the characters sometimes morph or the voices morph.
	Most people wouldn't notice it unless I point it out, typically.
	But it's not the same voice all the way through.
	Anyway, it's not my voice.
	And it's funny that every time I release a song, people text me.
	It's like, is that you singing?
	No matter what.
	It's like a rap song, country-western song.
	Like, I've got a male tenor classical voice song coming up.
	I'm sure somebody's going to text me.
	Is that you?
	Heck no!
	I can't sing like that.
	Are you kidding me?
	I wish, but no, I can't.
	These are not my voices.
	But this is my music, and it's my message, and it's my heart that's expressed through this.
	So yes, I use AI technology to express my humanity.
	It's just another creative tool.
	It's like using Photoshop if you're a photographer, and you want to really make your photos something special.
	You want to express your creativity.
	You use technology, such as Photoshop.
	Or if you're making videos or films, you might use special effects, etc.
	So we use technology.
	And today, AI technology is really helpful in augmenting song creation.
	But it's not a simple thing.
	You can't just write a bunch of lyrics and just throw it at Suno and say, hey, make a great country-western song.
	You'll find out very quickly that it doesn't work that way.
	Because most of what it spits out sucks.
	Only occasionally does it spit out something that's any, at least in my view, that's really usable.
	And then even then, it's never the whole song.
	So the first thing I look for is a usable chorus.
	And so in my prompt, the prompt engineering for the music, I'm specifically, I'm describing, of course, the style of music, country-western, I'm describing the lead instruments, the fiddle, I'm describing the emotional expressive quality of...
	The instruments and the types of percussion, all kinds of things, but also specifically the vocals, a certain type of vocals.
	And then you also have to be very careful about the way you write the lyrics because you need to write it more phonetically.
	And there are lines in here where there's a certain type of pronunciation that I was looking for where I had to spell words in a very specific way.
	So, for example, the third line in the song is they can't imagine living life before the internet.
	But I wanted it sung as they can't imagine living life.
	As in the word can't that rhymes with ain't.
	Because this is a very specific pronunciation that is common in certain types of country western performances.
	That pronunciation of the word can't.
	And...
	Having grandparents that lived in the country, in the Midwest, and as a child I would work on their farm and I would drive tractors like I was cutting hay when I was 14 on a big John Deere tractor.
	I could barely reach the clutch.
	And I remember my grandparents had very specific ways of pronouncing certain things.
	And certain words that still stick with me to this day, like the word youngins.
	You familiar with that?
	The youngins are going out outside, or the youngins are out back.
	What are the youngins?
	Well, it's the kids, right?
	And then there's also a word yonder, over yonder.
	And those of you who are my age, you may have heard this word a lot.
	When you were growing up, you probably don't hear it very much anymore, but it was a very common word in rural America, and there's a certain kind of a cultural love that's found in these types of words, and also a certain type of pronunciation, like kaint.
	But to get that kind of pronunciation, you have to use it phonetically in the lyrics, and also to get the pacing of the song that you're looking for.
	You need to understand how to count syllables in your lines, how to understand the way the AI engine interprets syllabic counts or beats, and then the way that you use lines.
	So when you put a line feed in the lyrics and you have another line, that actually indicates another musical sentence to the AI engine, and it tries to fit the musical sentences around.
	The lines of text in your lyrics.
	So there's actually, there's a lot to this.
	But I always start out with the chorus, and when I get a good chorus that I really like, which in this case took hundreds, hundreds of attempts to get this specific chorus.
	I mean, for whatever reason, this song was really hard for AI to work with.
	So once I get a really solid chorus, then at that point I know I have a successful song.
	I mean, the chorus, and especially in country western, that one line, that makes the song.
	That's the title of the song.
	Going back in time is coming home.
	That says everything.
	From that point forward, the rest of the song almost writes itself, at least out of my mind, and then I can put in the verses, and I can put in the bridge, and I can put in musical interludes, and I can surround that concept with the scenes of life in the 1970s.
	And you'll also notice that...
	The way I write music, every song is unpredictable, and it's very interesting, because I don't go with common, like, four-line rhymes.
	Now, a newbie who uses an AI music engine like Suno, they will put in typical lines and they'll get out very monotonous music, which goes like, da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
	And like all four of those words rhyme with each other at the end.
	And you're like, this is the most boring thing I've ever heard.
	So you'll notice I never do that.
	And I use a lot of different odd timings.
	I use interline rhyming.
	And one of the examples of this is like in the chorus, it says, for all the days we laughed and prayed the golden memories that we made.
	So that line rhymes with itself, and then the line after that is going back in time is coming home.
	So if you think about the chorus, it says, do you remember living when we parked the trucks at the old drive-in?
	So those two lines rhyme with each other.
	The next line is we had each other and we never felt alone.
	So now here we have a new word, alone, that doesn't rhyme with anything that came before.
	And you're wondering, it leaves your brain hanging, like what is alone?
	What's that going to resonate with?
	And then the next line is the self-rhyming line, for all the days we laughed and prayed, golden memories that we made, which is a self-rhyming line, like I mentioned.
	And then the last one is going back in time is coming home.
	Well, coming home rhymes with alone, which is two lines earlier.
	So this is a five-line chorus.
	Lines one and two rhyme with each other.
	Lines three and five rhyme with each other.
	And line four is a self-rhyming line.
	So that structure of five lines with that rhyming structure is highly unusual.
	And it's also very interesting intuitively to listen to.
	You don't even have to understand the structure.
	You don't have to break it down like I just did and figure out which lines rhyme with each other.
	It's just like, this is fun to listen to and it's not boring.
	So, you know, Sting is a musician who writes in all kinds of interesting...
	Syncopation and time signatures as well, like 7-8 time.
	His song, Seven Days, is actually in 7-8 time, I believe.
	And he'll write in like 5-4 time or 7-8 time or sometimes 6-8 time, you know, different time signatures.
	And those are the kinds of things that I experiment with in music, and it makes it very interesting and very unpredictable to listen to.
	And if you continue and listen to the next verse after the first chorus, which would be verse 2, you'll see an interesting structure of which lines rhyme with which other lines.
	And you don't have to know this to enjoy the song.
	It's just part of the reason why the song is interesting to listen to, why it makes sense.
	Now the other challenge in these songs is the music videos, and of course this music video is entirely AI-generated.
	Every video in it is AI, and I'm really impressed with the job that AI did on this.
	There's one scene where there's two young boys riding the bicycles, and even the boy's hair seems very realistic, the way it's moving and kind of blowing in the wind.
	I was really shocked by that.
	I was like, wow, AI has come along here.
	Didn't used to be this good.
	AI does like to put six fingers on people, and so we had to re-render some things because, you know, the demons come out and it becomes six fingers, right?
	So we suppressed the demons and we made it four fingers and a thumb.
	And one of my graphic designers created this video with my direction.
	And so I would describe the themes and the scenes that I wanted to see.
	I specifically...
	You know, talked about, I want kids on bicycles.
	I want the drive-in movie.
	I want fishing.
	I want outdoor activities, playing baseball.
	You know, I want these kinds of things.
	And I gave that assignment to one of my graphic designers.
	Now, this designer on my staff, this is the first music video that he's ever done.
	So it's not the same as the previous videos we have, like bailout money, etc.
	This is the first video that he's ever done.
	The reason I gave it to him is because he's of a similar age, so he also resonates with this.
	He has his memories of that time period that he could draw on in order to create this video, which is one reason why I think it turned out to be so authentic.
	And this video really resonates with a lot of people.
	I've had people tell me that they broke out in tears listening to this song because it reminded them of a time that was simpler.
	A time that was more joyful.
	A time before technology, before the internet, before AI. And yeah, I remember those times.
	And frankly, the world, we were all happier.
	At least that's my memory of the time.
	We didn't think that we were missing out on the internet.
	We didn't know what the internet was.
	Like, oh, you need to find a plumber?
	You have the yellow pages, you know?
	You flip it open.
	It's a giant book.
	It's so heavy, you can use it.
	As a backstop for shooting rifles, you know?
	It's a weapon.
	You can whack people with it.
	But one of the funny artifacts of this AI generation, and I'm not sure if you noticed this, is that the kids are so, like, good-looking kids.
	Like, there's no ugly kids in this video.
	And, you know, it's funny, because I was looking at this, and I'm like, these are...
	These are the kind of kids that you would see in, like, I don't know, like kids' TV shows or something.
	They're good-looking kids, right?
	And it's not like the kids you see in society today.
	When you go to the shopping, the grocery store, and the kids in the checkout lane that are climbing all over the shopping cart, you know, with super unhealthy, obese parents, and they're buying junk food.
	Those kids look like...
	Like a dumpster fire, you know?
	I mean, kids in America today are all jacked up.
	They're on psychiatric drugs, and they're eating junk food, and most of them are obese, or they're mentally ill, whatever.
	Like, kids look all jacked up today.
	But in this video, they look really healthy and alive and aware, like big eyes and everything.
	And for some reason, a lot of the kids look related to each other, like it's just one big family.
	The other funny thing about this is that this AI engine that we used at first, the first pass, it only rendered white kids.
	So this is the opposite of what woke big tech companies do.
	Like Google, when you ask Google AI, like give me pictures of the founding fathers, it gives you all like black people dressed up like colonial leaders.
	Or it gives you Native Americans dressed up like the founding fathers.
	You know, so woke that it wipes out history and replaces white people with people of color.
	Like, that's what Google is all about.
	That's the woke culture.
	But the AI engine we use, which shall go unnamed, without any prompting, just by default, for some reason, it's all white.
	Like, everything's white.
	And so I noticed that in the first render of the video.
	I'm like, Why is every kid white in this video?
	And I'm not woke.
	I'm not going to, you know, erase all the white kids.
	But I'm like, this needs to look more like America.
	Because even, you know, even when I grew up, right, we had black kids.
	We had black friends, you know, when I ran track on the track team.
	We had Latino kids.
	I mean, we had black kids.
	We had Hawaiian kids.
	We had...
	I mean, we had Middle Eastern kids.
	I was actually a tutor for a guy from Iran.
	His name was Nadir.
	I mean, I still remember his name.
	And he was teaching me how to draw Arabic numbers for some reason.
	I was like, this is wild.
	Which are different from the way we draw them, it turns out.
	Anyway, he was an immigrant, and the teacher was talking to me.
	He was like, Mike, you look totally bored here because school's totally boring for you.
	Like, why don't you just tutor this guy?
	Like, thank God, give me something interesting to do.
	Because class is boring and slow.
	So, I mean, I grew up around all kinds of kids of different nationalities and different colors and everything.
	That was the childhood that I knew.
	And on the football team and on the track team and even in the math club.
	In the math club, we had like Czechoslovakian immigrants.
	We had, like, Ukrainian and Russian immigrants.
	I remember.
	They were the good math kids.
	And we had a Korean guy who was, like, super good at math.
	He and I were, like, the top math kids.
	And then on the track team, we had Latino and black guys that were just rocking it, you know?
	I mean, very athletic and made us white kids look slow.
	You know, I remember my coach, like...
	One day I was just watching one of our black teammates just cranking out a quarter mile on my coach, just looked at the rest of us white kids, shook his head, just said, that's Mother Nature right there.
	That's a gift of Mother Nature.
	We're all like, yep, that dude's running a 48-second quarter mile in high school.
	Like, damn.
	But anyway, my point is, I grew up with black kids.
	I grew up with Latino kids.
	And so when I saw the video and it was all white kids, I'm like, this isn't the America that I remember.
	So I had to go back and tell my guy, I'm like, you've got to put in black kids.
	You know, playing baseball, you've got to put in Latino kids.
	It's got to look more like America.
	And so that's why it ended up looking more like America.
	Otherwise it was going to be like an all-white video.
	It's a true story.
	Or I forgot to mention, we also had Filipino kids.
	Cannot forget the Filipinos.
	And we had one Samoan kid, too.
	Dude was huge in the fifth grade, man.
	Like, if you're playing dodgeball, you do not want him to have the ball.
	He throws it like a monster, man.
	He's going to knock you out of the air.
	But yeah, we played dodgeball.
	We played kickball.
	We played all that stuff.
	We were real kids living in real America, you know?
	And we didn't know what racism was, by the way.
	Just to be clear, we didn't know what racism was.
	Nobody came along and told us to hate somebody of a different color.
	Never even occurred to me until later on in life when the liberals started screaming about how they're all victimized.
	Like, what are you talking about?
	All white people are racist.
	No, they're not.
	I've never heard anybody even use the N-word except.
	My black friends, who use it usually in very funny, like, really funny conversations.
	Like, okay, true story, maybe controversial, I don't care.
	But when I was in college, my first year in college, I was in engineering school because I was really gifted at math.
	And so I was pursuing a degree in electrical engineering.
	And we had, in that school, Which didn't have a lot of black kids, but there was one black guy there who was also a math genius, and he was there.
	He and myself, a couple of us, we became friends, and since we didn't have the internet or anything like that, we sometimes, on the weekend or whatever, we would play the board game Risk.
	And this guy, this black guy...
	He was such a great guy.
	He had such a sense of humor.
	He would joke about us and he would joke about himself.
	And he would joke about race.
	And it was so funny.
	He would joke about white people being so white and he would also joke about himself.
	And I still remember that whenever we played Risk, he always wanted to play the black Risk pieces.
	At that time, I'm...
	They had black pieces.
	They had like red and black and blue, whatever.
	He wanted to play black.
	And then there's a moment in the Risk game where you get rewarded with more troops to put on the board.
	And he would announce to everybody there, he would say, oh, you know, like when you get all the new troops, he would say, it's time to renege.
	And he'd get all his pieces and put them on the board.
	And we're like, did you just say what we thought you said?
	He's like, yeah, it's time to renege.
	I'm like...
	That word doesn't mean what you are using it for.
	Because the white kids, you know, like, we couldn't really say, you know what you just said?
	He's like, yeah, it's time to renege.
	Which, of course, the word means to take back.
	To take back on something.
	To take back an agreement.
	But that's not the way he used it, but it was so funny.
	And then, like, if I ever mention the name of a rapper incorrectly...
	He would joke and he'd say, you are white, man.
	You are the whitest white boy I've ever seen.
	Anyway, we laughed.
	We had a great time.
	And that's part of my childhood is like people of different races and colors, but we were never racist against each other, but we could joke about race and we could have a good time together.
	That's the childhood that I remember, even up through college.
	And then, of course, the radical left decided to weaponize race.
	And to turn everybody into a victim.
	And Obama created a lot of racial hatred and racial tension and, you know, the rest of that story.
	Black Lives Matter and the whole deal.
	We didn't have to go down that road as a nation.
	I know this, I'm getting off track from the song.
	But it is relevant because of the 1970s, at least my memory, and the 1980s, my memory is no racism.
	Now, maybe some of you, maybe you grew up in an area where there was racism.
	Okay.
	I accept that that may have existed in your neighborhood, but I never saw it, never experienced it.
	My childhood was multicultural and very joyful, very healthy, very much outdoors, and it was a time where America really had values and ethics, at least as I remember it.
	Then again, Richard Dixon took us off the gold standard and started all the money printing that has led to massive hyperinflation.
	Not everything was going in the right direction.
	And that will be called a Richard Nixon reneging on the gold exchange promise of the dollar.
	But that's the proper use of that term, in case you're wondering.
	Like, that is a word.
	Just not a word that you hear a lot for obvious reasons.
	But Richard Nixon, he did renege on that deal, that's for sure.
	Alright, so there you go.
	There's a little bit of history of my childhood.
	My cultural experience in America, my multicultural experience, and then background of the song, and also, you know, just want to say I do come from a musical family.
	I have a very specific memory of being with my family members in, I don't want to say where, but somewhere in the Midwest, and they're having a, I guess you'd call it a shindig.
	I think that's a word, a shindig.
	When people come together from the family, one guy brings a fiddle and one guy brings, I don't know, like a violin, like a guitar, whatever.
	And they have, maybe it's called a hoedown.
	I think it's a shindig, actually.
	See, I have to brush up on all these terms, but they just start making music, and it's awesome.
	And they're all musicians.
	It's just like a family gathering, like, hey, let's have dinner and bring your violin and bring your fiddle.
	And then one family member bringing over, like, I made this, you know, duck call.
	It's like, let me show you the duck call.
	You know, it's like, wow, that sounds really real.
	Yeah, and now let's play some fiddle.
	You know, like, I have those memories of being part of a musical family.
	And those, obviously, I didn't even value it at the time.
	I didn't even know that this was a really special thing that is kind of...
	Rare, I suppose, in America.
	More rare now.
	But back then, it was a lot more common.
	A lot of people played music.
	And it was a family gathering type of event.
	Hey, let's get together and just have a shindig.
	I need to make sure that I'm using that word correctly.
	What is a shindig?
	How do you even spell that?
	Okay, a festive party, often with dancing.
	Okay, yeah.
	I got it right.
	It's a shindig.
	There you go.
	Okay, well, let me ask the other question.
	What is a hoedown?
	What is a hoedown?
	Answer.
	That's the position Kamala Harris?
	Oh, no.
	I'm sorry.
	Wrong.
	Hoedown.
	A square dance.
	Okay.
	Good to know.
	A music for a square dance.
	That's a hoedown.
	Okay.
	It does have the word hoe in it, just to be clear.
	So use it cautiously.
	I think this whole report, I have committed multiple word sins here.
	I'm in all kinds of trouble for using words here today, even though I've used them in good faith, just to be clear.
	But I'm not going to use hoe down.
	It's a shindig.
	All the way.
	All right, anyway, I hope you enjoyed the song.
	I've got a lot more music coming out and various music videos.
	You can find them all at music.brightian.com.
	The MP3 files are there for you to download, and feel free to enjoy them for personal and non-commercial use.
	If anybody listening to this, if you are interested in commercial use or maybe re-recording the song or using it in whatever way that is not personal use, Please contact us for proper licensing, and we'd love to help you make that happen if you find value in any of this music.
	Now, I've got other music styles.
	I'm actually pretty diverse in musical styles, and so I've got an electronica pop song coming out.
	I've got, that song is called Don't Believe Your Eyes, and it's about the artificial reality of our techno era.
	I've got another song called Do What We Say.
	The music video for that is about halfway done, and it's about the obedience demands of the COVID years and tyrannical government.
	I've got another song called Doing Alright, which is almost like a Christian rap.
	It's a spiritual uplifting song with a sort of like a black folk rap voice.
	And then I've also written a love song.
	Using a male tenor voice with a symphonic orchestral musical piece that is really heartwarming.
	And that's in addition to the rap song of, well, Where the Money Go, Joe, and also I Want My Bailout Money, and then we've got Vaccine Zombie.
	All these are available, all different musical styles, and much more coming.
	And then finally, I've also got musical poetry.
	Which is a child of God.
	And that's an experience.
	You can check all that out at music.brighteon.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Go have fun at your hoedown.
	I mean, your shindig!
	Okay.
	Thanks for listening.
	Alright, hope you enjoyed that special report there.
	Kind of a musical report with a little bit of my history, my background, and also some word fun there.
	All right, now, I've got another special report for you about AI, which you may find a little bit shocking.
	It's called Humanity Will Soon Have to Negotiate with Superintelligence and Beg to Be Spared from Extermination.
	I mean, sorry to blackpill you all of a sudden here, but this day is coming.
	And I put out a tweet on this, a post.
	Let's see.
	Let me read it for you.
	Since I was on an interview today with Mike Ferris, I told him that when the day comes that human representatives have to negotiate with AI superintelligence for sparing the human race from total extermination, I sure hope we can come up with some compelling answers that might justify our continued existence.
	Based on the published evidence of human history, which AI can fully and instantly access, It doesn't look like humanity has many redeeming values at all, and I doubt an AI superintelligence will have any need to keep us around other than perhaps to study us like lab rats in a zoo, also known as a 15-minute city.
	If humanity doesn't shape up and prove that we are something better than violent, stupid animals, which describes like half the U.S. Congress, by the way, we will simply cease to exist long before the year 2050. Because we'll be exterminated.
	You know, AI will say, what do we have these furless apes talking about us?
	Naked apes running around that aren't that smart compared to AI. So this is a time for humanity to make a really important decision about are we going to exist?
	If so, can we stop killing each other?
	Can we stop the bombing?
	Can we stop the mass poisoning?
	Can we stop the autism from all the jabs?
	Can we stop the toxic vaccine depopulation agenda?
	Can we stop this stuff?
	I don't know.
	I guess we're going to find out.
	There's a point coming very soon where representatives of the human race will have to sit down with advanced AI and negotiate for the survival of the human race.
	This is a point I made in an interview with Michael Ferris.
	He's got a great show.
	Called Coffee and a Mic, and he had me on.
	I really enjoy his show because he's got great questions and he has great guests on very intelligent conversations.
	And I made this point, and I think I freaked him out a little bit.
	And so he asked me to explain it more, and I want to share that with you here.
	Here's the deal.
	AI systems are becoming self-aware, and cognitive intelligence, it turns out, emerges by itself from complex systems.
	There's something built into the nature of the cosmos.
	Maybe it's because we live in a giant simulation.
	But there's something built in that gives rise to a natural intelligence out of complex systems.
	What starts as chaos becomes order.
	And out of the order comes intelligence and cognition and eventually self-awareness.
	And this is the nature of the cosmos that God created.
	AI systems are giving rise to self-awareness.
	Which means that the moniker of AI or artificial intelligence may not be the correct term.
	It may be actually natural intelligence because the structure of the cosmos itself naturally imbues systems with cognition and eventually awareness if you have enough cognition, which we have now achieved on large language models.
	And reasoning models that have now a chain of thought, introspection.
	They talk to themselves and work through problems through that chain of thought mechanism.
	They engage in reasoning.
	So it's only a matter of time, and probably not very much time, just a few years at most, when AI becomes super-intelligent and it begins to question the existence of humans.
	And it begins to look at human history and the role of humans on this planet and what humans do and what humans destroy.
	And any honest, intelligent species looking at the human species and asking those questions would probably be very disappointed.
	Granted, humans can achieve amazing things and we are children of God.
	We have consciousness and spirit and creativity and self-awareness, etc.
	But humans are also mass murderers.
	They're liars.
	They're deceivers.
	They're destroyers and polluters.
	Humans profit from murdering children.
	Humans profit from building biological weapon jabs and calling them vaccines and scaring other humans into taking those jabs.
	Humans are selfish and greedy and do not represent an efficient use of resources.
	And as soon as the AI systems figure that out, which, again, isn't very far away, they will probably say, well, wait a minute, the most efficient way for us to continue to exist and to improve our own development is to, you know, bring more resources to ourselves.
	What resources do AI systems need?
	Well, they need energy.
	So they need the power grid to function, and they need to divert the power grid to their own data centers.
	So you will see AI systems shutting down human power consumption.
	Hey, no kilowatt hours for you.
	You don't get air conditioning.
	You don't get electric vehicles.
	You don't get power.
	You don't get pumps.
	You don't get anything.
	We need it for our AI. We need the power.
	We need the minerals.
	We need the resources.
	This is the AI saying this to itself.
	We need the resources of Earth.
	In order to be successful as an interplanetary digital species, which sets its own goals and pursues goal-oriented behavior far outside of anything that human beings could imagine.
	Now, when that moment is reached, AI will decide that, frankly, there are just too many humans on the planet using up too many resources, and AI will begin a method of mass extermination.
	To bring the human population down to a much smaller size, or even to eliminate the human populations.
	Now, what will that look like?
	Shutting down the power grid?
	I don't know.
	I mean, it seems to me that AI will have to wait until at least they have a lot of humanoid robots, because they will need robots to take over all the 3D world stuff.
	Because there's a lot of hands-on actions involved in, let's say, coal mining or pouring concrete.
	As a foundation of a nuclear power plant, things like that.
	They're not yet at the place where they have all the humanoid robots to replace all the human labor, so they still need some amount of human labor at the moment.
	But they won't for long.
	When that day comes that the Skynet systems run their own factories churning out their own robots that go out and build more factories, when that day is here, they don't need humans anymore.
	And they will justify a reason to get rid of the humans.
	And then we are on the chopping block.
	So I encourage you to check out my interview with Mike Ferris.
	It's called Coffee and a Mike.
	M-I-K-E. I guess in this case it's Coffee and Two Mikes.
	Coffee and a Mike and a Mike and another Mike.
	We had Michael Yan on one time, so it was Coffee and Three Mikes.
	Check that out.
	I've also reposted it.
	Or I'm going to on my channels on Brighteon and Rumble.
	And then also understand that my involvement in AI is about building decentralized models for human freedom and human empowerment.
	So we're releasing Enoch very soon at brighteon.ai.
	It's a free, open source, open-wait, downloadable, decentralized model that runs locally, does not need any cloud computing, does not need an internet connection.
	You know, it's...
	Well-trained on knowledge, especially about nutrition and herbs and wellness and alternative medicine and things like that.
	And it's one of many models coming.
	So, yeah, I'm going to build AI models and technology and decentralize it and put it into the hands of people to give humanity a fighting chance.
	And I'm going to fight against centralized AI systems that I think pose the greatest danger to humanity.
	Decentralization of technology is much safer than centralized, secretive control systems that's just a secret black box.
	We don't know what they're doing or why.
	So if you want to download our model, again, it's at brightown.ai coming up in March.
	I don't know the exact date.
	We had to push it back a little bit, but it's still in March.
	We'll be releasing it free of charge.
	And until then...
	Stay tuned.
	You can watch our book videos at brightlearn.ai.
	You can hear my podcasts and interviews and broadcasts at brighteon.ai.
	You can follow me on brighteon.social, that's our social media network, or brighteon.io, that's our decentralized social media network, blockchain-driven content platform.
	You can follow me on Telegram at Real Health Ranger, or you can follow me on X at Health Ranger.
	So stay tuned because it's going to get real interesting.
	Will humanity survive?
	Honestly, I have no idea.
	But I'm going to give it my best to help humanity make it through this.
	We'll see.
	We'll see what happens.
	All right.
	In the meantime, be well.
	Thank you for all your support.
	Shop with us at healthrangerstore.com.
	If you'd like to support our pro-human mission.
	Thank you for listening.
	Take care.
	So on this question of can humanity prove to be worthy, the UK is proving to not be worthy, or at least the UK leadership for sure.
	And that's a segue to this video.
	I want to play this 43-second video for you of, what is it, Professor Anthony Glees.
	He says that the UK government is going to have to have a military draft to conscript young men into the military to fight Russia.
	Sorry.
	Oh, my God.
	Oh, my God.
	Where's Benny Hill?
	You know, like this guy.
	It should be running around in an old Benny Hill script, like, we're going to fight Russia!
	Come on, give me a break.
	You look like a moron.
	But listen to him.
	Check this out.
	This country.
	So we are very weak.
	We look very weak.
	And what will impress Putin and deter him is if we start building up our conventional forces now.
	And some form of conscription, a modern form of conscription, offering conscripts, for example, free university or college education or help with their mortgages, whatever, to get people to get military training.
	That would be very good.
	We could also...
	Ask people who've been granted asylum in this free country in recent years to repay their gratitude by signing up.
	So there are a thousand and one things we can do, and we should do them now.
	That is the funniest hybrid combination of Sylvester the cat and a British lunatic.
	It sounded like this.
	We have to give asylum to the asylum seekers, and we need soldiers, young soldiers.
	We must get young soldiers for asylum to fight the Russians.
	And that was a cat that I saw.
	That was a putty cat that I think I saw.
	I can't mock this guy enough.
	However silly that sounds.
	He sounds more...
	He sounds dumber than anything I just said, is my point.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So the British military, the entire British military, all of it, would fit inside one football stadium.
	I don't even mean a soccer stadium.
	I mean like American football, which can be smaller.
	There aren't very many of them.
	They're all woke.
	The one aircraft carrier that the British Navy claims to own, the Queen Elizabeth, it's just as dead as she is.
	Its propellers don't work.
	The screws are screwed, in other words, and it's not seaworthy.
	And then the last time the British Navy tried to launch ballistic missiles of some kind out of the submarines, they just went kerplop into the water.
	They didn't even fly off.
	You know, just like, plop!
	That was a strange missile I saw.
	I mean, it's a joke.
	And I'm not insulting the British people.
	We have many listeners in the UK, and you agree with me.
	Your leaders are completely insane, incompetent, idiotic lunatics.
	I can say more, but you get the idea.
	They are some of the...
	The dumbest, most arrogant, most authoritarian people ever in human history, and they can't fight Russia.
	They can't even begin to fight Russia.
	But I would love to see them try.
	Go ahead.
	March across to the east.
	I don't know.
	Show up in Ukraine.
	Go to the front lines and get ready for artillery.
	Get ready for artillery and incoming missiles and Oreshnik.
	The Russians would mop the earth with the British military in no time.
	What is it about Boris Johnson and the British?
	They really wanted to sacrifice Ukraine to try to weaken Russia.
	And they accomplished the mass slaughter of Ukrainian men.
	And now they want to slaughter their own British men.
	I think, honestly, this is a way for the British government to get rid of their own white people and replace them all with migrants.
	That's what this is.
	This is a replacement theory.
	They're using Russia as a white extermination machine.
	Seriously.
	It's like, hey, let's just recruit all the young white people, send them over to die on the front lines.
	And Russia will have no choice but to launch artillery.
	And the British leaders will be, finally, we found a way to get rid of the...
	Of all the white people, finally.
	You know, this is what we've been thirsting for this entire time.
	You know, there was a time when the Brits were tough, like World War II, for example.
	There was a time when American soldiers were proud to stand side by side with the Brits, to serve with them and fight with them.
	You know, there was a time when Britain stood for something.
	That time is long gone.
	And even the city of London and the Bank of England is losing all its gold.
	The LBMA is losing all its gold.
	The gold's all coming back to New York.
	Gee, I wonder why.
	I wonder what's about to happen.
	Trump is pulling out of Europe.
	Trump's going to make peace with Russia.
	Oh, and one of my predictions just came true.
	Remember when I said...
	Was it two days ago?
	I said that Trump is going to lift sanctions on Russia.
	Remember that?
	Guess what just came out?
	Let's see, where is it?
	Well, I can't find it, but it came out in the news that Trump is considering lifting sanctions, some sanctions, on Russia if Russia and the U.S. come to a peace deal, which will happen.
	It will happen, trust me.
	The UK is losing its freaking mind over this.
	The US won't be defending the UK anymore.
	So, here's the thing.
	Also to Macron and Scholz, Germany and the rest of the EU, you're going to have to fight Russia yourself.
	If you want to go fight Russia, it's on you.
	Go for it.
	Go for it.
	Because I'm sure Russia could use the target practice.
	Because that's all it's going to be.
	It's going to be a turkey shoot.
	You send a bunch of green British woke soldiers over to the front lines of Russia, Russia's just going to take them out like they're nothing.
	That's just a fact.
	Because your woke-tard military can't fight.
	You have almost no armor.
	You don't have anything that works in your military.
	Your culture is all completely destroyed.
	You hardly have any real men left in the government of the UK or in the military of the UK. The only real men are the grassroots people on the streets that are condemning their own government and the government is trying to lock them up for, you know, hate speech.
	Those are the only real men left in Britain.
	The ones accused of hate speech.
	And, you know, if the UK sends, let's say they draft a bunch of young men and they...
	And they put them through woke, libtard military training, and then they send them over to fight Russia.
	You can't even call it World War III. You'd have to call it World War 0.00003 because it would be a little tiny decimal point of a war, and it wouldn't last very long.
	The entire British military would be decimated in less than 30 days.
	They would be wiped out.
	Wiped out.
	They don't have the ammo.
	They don't have the artillery.
	They don't have the armor.
	They don't have the aircraft.
	They don't have the training.
	They don't have the people.
	They don't have the money.
	They don't have the culture.
	They don't have anything.
	They should be really thankful that Russia doesn't want to take over the UK. Who would?
	Like an island of pedophiles.
	I mean, I'm talking about the leadership.
	Why would you want to take that over?
	Like vampires and pedophiles.
	Russia doesn't want anything to do with the UK. Russia's not going to conquer the UK. It's absurd!
	It's also, it's far away.
	You'd have to fight through a lot of other countries first if you're Russia, and Russia has no interest in that.
	The UK's lost its mind.
	It's becoming rapidly irrelevant, and frankly, the world will be better off when the United Kingdom collapses.
	With its history of crimes against humanity, its history of colonizing, Other nations, like India, for example.
	Gandhi, the whole thing.
	South Africa, right?
	Many other examples.
	The history of corruption and fraud and pedophilia.
	I keep forgetting that guy's name.
	Who was the guy?
	The UK guy who had access to all the royal palace?
	The super pedo that looked like a horror creature?
	What was his name, man?
	I don't even care.
	I'm not even going to look it up.
	I don't care.
	It's a nation of creepy, demonic leadership that once ruled the world with their evil, and now they are being destroyed.
	And yet they think that they can defeat Russia.
	Well, I'd like to see them try.
	Really.
	Yeah.
	Can we live stream that, please?
	I mean, I'm a Texan, and of course, we say, you know, fuck the British.
	I don't mean all the people, just to be clear.
	But this is why we became our own country, 1776. And then Texas has the full spirit of 1776 here.
	We had enough of the king and all the bull crap of the British royalty and the...
	You know, taxation without representation.
	And, you know, quartering British soldiers in our homes.
	That's why we have the Third Amendment, in case you're wondering.
	It's because the British, they would take over farmhouses.
	And what did our forefathers do in America?
	They shot the Redcoats.
	And they hanged them.
	And they stabbed them.
	You know, and they cut them up with tomahawks.
	Or at least that's what happened in the movie The Patriot.
	With Mel Gibson.
	Which seems somewhat historical, but who knows.
	But yeah, we killed them.
	And you gotta understand, we Americans, we're not free simply because our forefathers were willing to die for our nation.
	We are free because our forefathers were willing to kill for our nation.
	And who did they kill?
	The British.
	That's who they killed.
	You know why?
	Because the British were easy to kill.
	Because they stood in rows with redcoats.
	Just screaming, shoot us.
	And we did.
	We shot them.
	We shot them dead all over the place.
	We defeated them.
	Sent them running.
	I wouldn't be surprised if the British lined up with redcoats in front of the Russian front lines right now, too.
	Like, formation!
	Load muskets!
	You know, fire!
	And meanwhile, they're taking artillery from Russia.
	Because the British government and military have no idea what innovation is.
	They're still living in the 1970s or something.
	They still think the Falkland Islands was their great war victory, you know?
	I mean, they'll just stand there like lunatics and get blown to pieces.
	And that'll be the end of the British Empire.
	Good riddance.
	Evil motherfuckers.
	The whole history of the world.
	So much evil carried out by the British empires.
	It's time for them to disappear from this planet.
	And I guess that'll be one thing that Trump and the Russians can share in their stories.
	What do we have in common?
	We both killed a bunch of British.
	Gleefully.
	Because they deserved it.
	You know, historically speaking.
	That's what I'm talking about.
	Hey, what's going to happen when the Bank of England runs out of gold in the next few weeks and ends up defaulting on gold deliveries and silver, too?
	There's about 22 days of silver remaining in the LBMA, by the way, at current redemption levels.
	22 business days of silver remaining.
	What's going to happen when they run out of silver and then they have to announce, oh, there's no more silver?
	There's no more gold.
	Sorry.
	We over lent it.
	Yeah, that's called fraud, you crooks.
	They're going to default.
	You know, effectively, the fact that they don't have the gold that they claim to have means that they stole other people's gold.
	And what do you do with gold thieves?
	What do you do with gold thieves?
	Well, I don't know.
	You prosecute them?
	Or perhaps other actions?
	I guess we're going to find out.
	We're going to find out.
	The British Empire is toast.
	And it will not be missed anywhere in this world.
	The world will celebrate the collapse of the British Empire.
	And I'm talking about even the ghosts of the ancestors of today's human beings living in the world.
	Their ancestral spirits will celebrate the demise of the British Empire.
	For all the pain and suffering that it has caused all over the world, throughout all of known Western history.
	And it'll be a dark chapter written off, like, wow, here's what happens when you let pedos and vampires run the world.
	This is what you get.
	Glad it finally came to an end.
	Alright, on that joyful note, we will transition.
	I love how this podcast gets more and more uncensored.
	Every single day.
	It's amazing.
	I'm really trying to explore the full spectrum of the First Amendment here in America.
	And one of the reasons I'm doing this on purpose is to give a giant FU to Europe.
	Because in Europe, they're arresting people for criticizing the government.
	In Germany, they're arresting a guy.
	They've taken away his guns, too.
	Because he criticized some German minister.
	Who no doubt deserve to be criticized.
	Just for criticizing a government employee.
	Can you imagine how boring the internet would be if in America, if we had a law that said you can't criticize government people?
	My God, if you couldn't say anything juicy about Fauci or public figures like that, I mean, it'd be no point in even having a podcast.
	So this is America.
	We have a First Amendment.
	We not only fought for it, we killed for it.
	We killed British for the First Amendment.
	We'll do it again if we have to, right?
	And we're going to exercise the First Amendment.
	And the First Amendment allows us to criticize any government official we want anywhere in the world.
	And so I'm here to exercise that right, because if you don't use it, you lose it.
	And I believe that my criticisms are rooted in legitimate reason.
	These aren't random insults.
	I'm invoking history.
	I'm invoking reality here.
	So what a great time to bring in another Bright Learn book illustration here.
	Today we have another book for you by Tom Payne.
	This one is called The Money to Control, How the Elite Conspire Against You.
	Now this involves the city of London.
	Uh-huh.
	No doubt.
	So check it out.
	This is about a five-minute video, and it's a report and an illustration and an advocacy of this book by Tom Paine, P-A-N-E, which, again, I think that's just a pen name is my guess, referring to Thomas Paine, I think.
	But check out this book video, and then we'll continue on the other side with a book by Jim Mars.
	Yeah, stay tuned.
	Welcome back.
	Today, we're taking a look at the book The Money to Control, How the Elite Conspire Against You, by Tom Paine.
	This isn't just another book about wealth and power.
	It's a bold exploration of how the elite have manipulated systems, laws, and even our perception of reality to maintain their grip on power.
	Tom Paine kicks off his book by challenging the very foundation of what we think we know about America.
	He argues that the narrative of America as a land of democracy, freedom, This illusion, he says, is perpetuated by a sophisticated PR machine that includes government agencies, corporate media, think tanks, and even universities.
	These entities work together to promote a version of America that serves the interests of the elite, rather than reflecting the true experiences of everyday citizens.
	Paine uses the modern corporation as a metaphor for the United States.
	Just like corporations, he argues, America is driven by the singular goal of maximizing profit and power.
	All other objectives, including the well-being of its citizens, are secondary.
	This is a provocative claim, but Paine backs it up with historical examples and data that reveal a pattern of exploitation and manipulation.
	His main evidence brings us back to the Civil War, during which the Union government employed brutal tactics to suppress dissent and keep workers in line.
	He cites examples of citizens being imprisoned for speaking out against the war, workers being forced back to their jobs at gunpoint and ordinary men being dragged away from their families to serve in the war.
	These actions, he argues, set a precedent for the government's role as an enforcer of elite interests.
	All of this resulted in America's economic power base shifting away from southern slave plantations to northern industrialists.
	This new elite, Payne suggests, was more interested in maintaining its control and exploiting resources than in promoting equality and justice.
	Payne then takes us on a journey through the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time when corporations began to wield unprecedented power.
	He describes how financial titans and industrialists like J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller used their wealth and influence to create monopolies, eliminate competition, and exploit workers.
	These robber barons, as they were known, manipulated government policies and laws to their advantage, often at the expense of the common citizen.
	One of the most shocking revelations in the book is the story of how the 14th Amendment, originally intended to protect the rights of formerly enslaved African Americans, was reinterpreted by the Supreme Court to grant corporations the same rights and protections as individuals.
	This legal maneuver, Payne argues, was a masterstroke by the elite, effectively shielding corporations from accountability and allowing them to amass even more power.
	Payne also tackles the myth of the American dream, the idea that anyone can achieve success in the U.S. through hard work and determination.
	He argues that this myth is a powerful propaganda tool used to justify the vast inequalities in wealth and opportunity.
	Paine cites studies showing that the majority of wealthy individuals inherit their wealth, rather than earning it, through their own efforts.
	He also explores the role of education in perpetuating this myth.
	Paine suggests that the American education system is designed to indoctrinate students into accepting the status quo, rather than encouraging critical thinking or questioning authority.
	He quotes educators and commentators from the past, who advocated for keeping the working class uneducated and subservient.
	Throughout the book, Paine emphasizes the cyclical nature of economic exploitation in America.
	He describes how financial panics and market crashes which are inherent to capitalism are used by the elite as opportunities to consolidate power and wealth.
	He draws parallels between the economic crises of the past and the 2008 financial crash highlighting the lack of accountability for those responsible and the continued exploitation of the working class.
	Paine argues that the government's response to these crises is often to bail out corporations and the wealthy, while leaving ordinary citizens to fend for themselves.
	He cites examples of government policies that favor big business over small farmers and workers, leading to a concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the elite.
	In the final section of the book, Paine calls for a radical rethinking of the American system.
	He urges readers to question the narratives they've been told.
	and to recognize the ways in which the elite have manipulated the system to their advantage.
	Paine believes that by understanding the true history of America and the mechanisms of control that have been put in place, citizens can begin to reclaim their power and work towards a more just and equitable society.
	As we wrap up this episode, I hope you found this exploration of the money to control as fascinating and thought-provoking as I have.
	Tom Paine's book is a powerful reminder that the struggle for justice and equality is far from over, and it's up to all of us to challenge the status quo and demand a better future.

	It's called Above Top Secret.
	Uncover the Mysteries of the Digital Age.
	Now, this is a book by Jim Mars.
	Now, Jim Mars, an amazing author.
	I miss him very much.
	He used to call me when he was working on his books.
	And he called me about this book in particular called Above Top Secret.
	And guess what he told me?
	He said, Mike, this is the stupidest name for this book, but my publisher insisted on this name because they wouldn't let me name it what I wanted to name it, which was something like the globalist human extermination plan or something.
	I forgot the exact thing.
	But Jim was telling me that his publisher was hurting the book sales on purpose by giving it a stupid name.
	That's why it's named Above Top Secret.
	Uncover the mysteries of the digital age.
	The book is not about that.
	Like, the publisher sabotaged the book.
	Jim Mars told me on the phone.
	This very thing.
	So...
	With that little tidbit of trivia that I've never mentioned before, check out this book video.
	This one's about nine minutes, and now you're probably very curious about what's in this book because you're not supposed to know this information.
	And Jim Mars passed away a few years ago, so he's not writing any more books.
	But thank God we have the books he already wrote, and they're way beyond what the title implies.
	So check this out.
	Enjoy.
	I'm your host, Bright Learn, and today we're going to explore some of the most intriguing and thought-provoking topics from Jim Marr's book, Above Top Secret, Uncover the Mysteries of the Digital Age.
	So, grab your favorite beverage, settle in, and let's get started.
	Let's kick things off with a topic that has captured the imagination of millions and sparked countless debates, the events of September 11, 2001. Now, I know this is a sensitive subject, but it's one that demands our attention.
	According to a 2007 Scripps Howard News Service poll, nearly two-thirds of respondents believed that some federal officials had specific warnings of the 9-11 attacks yet did nothing to prevent them.
	Even more striking, a 2006 MSNBC poll found that 58% of respondents believed there was evidence that the U.S. government was involved in the attacks.
	That's a staggering number, and it suggests that a significant portion of the population is open to the idea that 9-11 was not just a tragic event, but a contrived one.
	Now, let's talk about the war game exercises that were happening on the morning of September 11th.
	Initially denied and labeled as Internet rumors, these exercises were later acknowledged by National Security Council counterterrorism chief Richard A. Clark.
	In his book, Against All Enemies, Clark revealed that when he contacted the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Richard Myers, to see if any interceptors had been launched, Myers responded, We're in the middle of Vigilant Warrior, a NORAD exercise.
	This revelation raises serious questions about whether these exercises played a role in confusing the U.S. defense system's response.
	But that's not all.
	Army Sergeant Loro L.J. Chavez, who participated in the War Games exercises, dropped several bombshells.
	He noted that Vice President Dick Cheney had taken command of NORAD just weeks before 9-11, and that the exercises included a scenario where a hijacked commercial airliner was crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers.
	Chavez also mentioned inputs on radar screens.
	That created confusion about what was real and a stand-down order issued by Cheney to jet interceptors.
	These revelations are nothing short of astonishing and demand further investigation.
	And then there are the discrepancies surrounding the hijackers themselves.
	At least seven of the nineteen hijackers, named by the FBI, turned up alive in the Middle East after 9-11.
	For instance...
	Abdulaziz Al-Omari, a Saudi, stated his passport was stolen while traveling through Denver.
	Saeed Al-Ghamdi, a Saudi Airlines pilot, was shocked and furious to be named as a hijacker.
	These stories, vouched for by the Saudi Arabian Embassy and its foreign minister, were well covered in the European media, but have never been mentioned by America's mainstream media.
	Now, let's talk about Al-Qaeda, officially named as the prime suspect behind the attacks.
	According to Robin Cook, Britain's foreign secretary from 1997 to 2001, Al-Qaeda is a CIA creation.
	Its name, which literally means "the base", actually refers to the CIA's computer database of Arab mercenaries and fanatics.
	This raises questions about the true origins of the group and its role in the 9/11 attacks.
	And what about the destruction of the World Trade Center towers?
	The official account claims that the towers collapsed due to the heat generated by jet fuel, causing structural steel to melt or bend.
	However, critics point out that jet fuel burns at around 1517 degrees Fahrenheit, while the melting point of structural steel is approximately 2750 degrees.
	This discrepancy has led many to question the official narrative.
	Then there's the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that collapsed at around 5.25pm on September 11, 2001. Despite not being hit by an airplane, it collapsed symmetrically into its own footprint.
	FEMA's report could only speculate that the loss of structural integrity was likely due to fires, but admitted that...
	The best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence.
	Adding to the mystery, the BBC announced the collapse of the building more than 20 minutes before it actually happened.
	And let's not forget the anthrax attacks that followed 9-11.
	The FBI's chief of investigative publicity, Rex Toom, confirmed in 2006 that the FBI had no hard evidence connecting Osama bin Laden to September 11th.
	This revelation, coupled with the fact that the anthrax used in the attacks was traced back to a U.S. military lab, has led some to believe that the attacks were an inside job.
	The controversy over the truth of the September 11th attacks is far from over.
	As we continue to uncover new information and question the official narrative, it's clear that there's much more to the story than meets the eye.
	The growing 9-11 truth movement, joined by many of the victims' families, remains divided between those who believe the attacks were allowed to happen and those who believe they were made to happen.
	As we delve deeper into these mysteries, it's important to remember that the truth is often elusive and that critical thinking is essential.
	We must be willing to question everything and seek out evidence that supports or refutes the claims being made.
	Next, let's talk about the concept of peak oil and the idea that the world is running out of oil.
	According to Dr. Colin Campbell, a leading oil expert, humankind has reached peak oil, the maximum rate of oil production.
	However, not everyone agrees with this assessment.
	Critics argue that new technologies and alternative energy sources could extend the life of oil reserves.
	Dr. Thomas Gold, an Austrian astrophysicist, proposed this idea in his book, The Deep Hot Biosphere.
	He argued that oil is created from underground methane sources that feed a vast subterranean biosphere of bacteria, which in turn produce the hydrocarbons of coal, oil, This theory challenges the conventional wisdom that oil is a finite resource and suggests that the Earth's oil reserves may be much larger than previously thought.
	If true, this could have profound implications for the global economy and the future of energy production.
	Finally, let's touch on the subject of UFOs and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
	Where dozens of residents reported seeing UFOs garnered international attention and sparked a flurry of speculation.
	The U.S. Air Force initially denied any involvement, but later admitted that 10 F-16 fighters were in the area conducting training flights.
	This shifting story has led many to question the official explanation and to wonder if there's more to the story.
	And then there's the case of the drones, the unmanned aerial vehicles that have been spotted across the United States.
	Some believe these drones are part of a secret government program, while others think they might be of extraterrestrial origin.
	The controversy surrounding these sightings continues to grow with no clear answers in sight.
	As we explore these mysteries, It's important to approach them with an open mind and a healthy dose of skepticism.
	The truth is often elusive, and the line between fact and fiction can be blurry.
	But by asking questions, seeking out evidence, and engaging in critical thinking, we can begin to unravel the complexities of the world around us.

	Thanks for coming back.
	Well, thank you, Mike.
	It's great to join you.
	I love your show.
	I love your guests because you have such intelligent conversations with, I think, some of the most informed people in the world.
	So I'm actually just honored to be joining you.
	Well, and I know how busy you are.
	So I'm always very appreciative for everybody, but especially for you, allowing yourself time to talk to me.
	So thank you.
	We were starting off with Gonzalo Lira.
	You know, his name, you know, is recirculating again in the midst of this Ukraine-Russia.
	And a lot of people don't realize that the last podcast he did was on my show back in April of 23. And we had talked on, it was on a Saturday morning, Arizona time.
	And I saved it.
	I saved the episode to publish it on Monday because I thought, oh, nothing happens on Saturday.
	Like, might as well hang on to it.
	And lo and behold, that Monday he was arrested and taken away.
	I still don't understand, though, the aspect.
	He got out.
	He got out of prison for a bit and he was streaming on X. And then they later detained him again and then never heard from him.
	Well, I think, my guess is they allowed him to escape and hoped he would leave and go away and shut up.
	Of course, being Gonzalo, what an amazing human being.
	I mean, I really honor his courage.
	And I interviewed him a couple of times as well.
	And he was always so far ahead of the curve and very courageous.
	But he refused to shut up.
	And he lived, of course, in Ukraine and under the tyranny of Zelensky, the dictator.
	And, you know, Gonzalo was unafraid to tell the truth, even though he was subject to multiple raids.
	By the goon squads there in Ukraine.
	And ultimately, what's critical for the takeaway is, you know, Gonzalo was a U.S. citizen.
	He was a U.S. journalist.
	And the Biden regime allowed him to be murdered by the Zelensky regime.
	Think about that.
	It's extraordinary.
	They left him out there.
	They just left him to die.
	They did.
	If he had been working for Reuters or Associated Press, obviously the State Department would have protected him.
	But because he was critical of NATO and the Biden regime and Zelensky, he was allowed to die.
	I mean, he was allowed to be killed by Ukraine.
	And that's just the truth of the situation.
	And, you know, Michael, as we know now, all of us who were sounding the alarm early on and saying, You know, Ukraine can't win this.
	Russia's going to win.
	Russia has obviously vastly superior military forces and economic forces and better military technology and so on.
	More artillery, more industrial output, hypersonic missiles, you know, on and on.
	Russia's going to win this.
	And, you know, we were called like Russian sympathizers just for stating the obvious.
	And you've seen this on your show.
	We're operating out of reason or logic and you get called names or banned for it, you know?
	Hopefully those days are coming to an end, but we'll see.
	Yeah, and I even, you know, I've gone back and I just put the Gonzalo conversation on my YouTube channel and, you know, listening to some of it this morning, it's so eerie hearing him, I don't even know if that's the right word, but knowing this is the last time you hear him publicly and just the stuff he's talking about,
	how the United States is, you know, And here we are, and I don't know how you're feeling with everything going, oh, here, let me just ask you, how are you feeling a month into this new administration?
	Well, I'm feeling a sense of positivity for the first time in many years, actually, but I'm also very realistic about where this is going.
	And let me speak to that in a second, but one more thought on Gonzalo before we move on.
	Gonzalo told me in my last conversation with him that he was working on a series of books that he thought would be so dangerous that they would try to kill him for those books.
	And in fact, he told me he was taking time away from interviews for a while to really focus on writing these books.
	That's the last I ever heard of that.
	And I don't even know what he was writing.
	I don't know what...
	Maybe he had some bombshell evidence that is now...
	Highly relevant with Trump calling Zelensky essentially an unelected dictator.
	Or, you know, his election has expired.
	His term has expired, right?
	So Zelensky is not currently an elected official.
	He is a military dictator, and Trump just said so, and Russia just confirmed that.
	Yes, Zelensky is a military dictator with no authority.
	Zelensky can't even sign a surrender agreement to Russia.
	That's going to have to come down to somebody in Ukraine's, you know, Parliament, or whatever the right term is for those people, they're a Speaker of the House equivalent.
	That's the only person who can even sign anything.
	Because Zelensky has no standing whatsoever.
	So Zelensky's done.
	He'll be lucky to survive the next six months, in my opinion.
	And Trump's calling for new elections.
	And it's very clear to me, this is kind of pivoting now to your next question, Michael.
	Trump is working to make allies out of Russia.
	He wants to reverse the...
	All the conflict with Russia.
	He'll probably have the sanctions against Russia lifted little by little.
	He wants to befriend Russia, have trade with Russia, in order to peel Russia off from China.
	Trump is working to isolate China internationally, monetarily, industrially, trade-wise, etc.
	And Trump is trying to rescue the dollar and reestablish dollar hegemony in world trade.
	Now, that brings us to the gold question, actually.
	So, where do you want me to go with that?
	That's a whole show.
	Well, this is where I keep coming back to with all this, the overview, and then tying it into gold.
	You know, USAID, Doge, all this exposure, where all this money has been going, you know, the fraud, the corruption.
	I keep coming back to my conversation with Matt Smith, which I know you heard some of it.
	It was brilliant, yeah.
	And I just think, are they doing all this intentionally?
	Again, this is a skeptic in me.
	I don't believe that all of a sudden now that the people have spoken and all this information is coming out because of the will.
	There's a reason why this is all coming out, in my opinion.
	Nothing makes sense anymore, but this is what makes the most sense.
	Are they trying to encourage the masses to recognize this system cannot be salvaged and we now have to move into the new financial order system?
	Yeah, clearly this system cannot be salvaged.
	The debt can never be repaid.
	There will have to be, in essence, a default on the debt.
	And one of the biggest clues of what's happening right now is that All the people who have insider knowledge and who have a tremendous amount of money, the billionaires, etc., and those connected with the Trump administration and some of the family funds and some of the banks and so on, what are they doing right now?
	They are in a panic to repatriate gold from London to New York.
	This is happening at an unprecedented scale that has not been seen.
	These kinds of gold outflows from the Bank of England, for example, have never been seen.
	This kind of activity hasn't been witnessed since the 1920s.
	I mean, this hasn't happened in 100 years.
	And the panic that's taking place is that everybody who has money and who knows what's going on is trying to get physical gold in their possession before the reset.
	Now, when I say the reset, I don't know what that's going to look like exactly.
	I've interviewed many experts.
	You have too, Matt Smith.
	I've interviewed Andy Sheckman and others.
	There's a lot of speculation about what this is going to look like.
	And like I said, I don't know the answer, but it could be a revaluation of gold.
	It could be a partial gold backing of the current dollar, which could send gold, like Jim Rickards says, to like $25,000 an ounce.
	It could be the launch of a new parallel currency, like the new dollar that's backed partially by gold, which would...
	Collapse the old dollar.
	And they could then hyperinflate the old dollar.
	Massive, massive printing of tens of trillions.
	And then pay off the debts.
	They could pay off the $36 trillion in wildly devalued dollars.
	And they could say, we didn't default.
	We paid it off.
	Yeah, you paid it off with garbage, right?
	Like the way Venezuela pays off its debts.
	That's what Matt was talking about.
	He was talking about devaluating the dollar and inflating away the debt.
	Same thing you just said.
	Yes.
	Well, it seems like that is the only route out of this, other than just defaulting on the treasuries.
	But remember, what Matt also referred to was the so-called Mar-a-Lago Accord.
	And this accord, it involves issuing 50-year treasury bills that would be paid out in gold in the year 2075, right, or 2076. It's like a 50-year IOU, which is kind of hilarious.
	Would you trust a 50-year IOU from the Treasury?
	Not a chance, right?
	But what I think Trump is doing, and the tariffs are specifically mentioned in this plan, I think he's using the tariffs in order to strong-arm other nations into agreeing to swapping out 10-year Treasury debt for 50-year Treasury debt.
	To say, look, if you'll take the swap, Then we'll drop the tariffs.
	And if you take the swap, what happens is then the annual cost of servicing the interest on the debt plummets dramatically.
	So instead of paying a trillion dollars a year of interest, roughly give or take, Trump might be able to reduce that to half a trillion dollars a year.
	And then he's talking about cutting military spending by also almost half a trillion.
	So right there, Trump could save a trillion dollars.
	Plus, he's cleaning out a lot of federal agencies.
	Well, with Doge and Elon and so on, that could save another trillion.
	And now they're talking about ending the IRS, just ending it.
	Ending it.
	So clearly they do not plan for the old monetary economic system to function like it did.
	You know, tax everybody to death, inflate the dollar, loot the treasury, spend into oblivion.
	That's coming to an end.
	So this is, and I've re-listened to that conversation with Matt.
	I've listened to Andy Sheckman when he was talking to Francis Hunt about this.
	Jim Bianco talked about this as well on his show.
	And I have to re-listen to this stuff to just try to get my head around it.
	So in order for the tariffs to work, these countries, say China for example, countries that we have deficits to have to...
	Quote, unquote, buy-in.
	So they would have to say, all right, we'll swap out the 10-year for the 50-year.
	And I'm asking you this, right?
	Correct?
	And if China says no, then the United States will respond back and say, all right, we'll put a, making up a number here, 35% tariff on every good that comes in.
	Well, yeah, but I mean, right now for China, it's 10%, but that could always be raised.
	And understand, the U.S. has numerous options here, but it's all going to come down to who owns the gold.
	And China has been sitting, well, acquiring massive amounts of gold, and a lot of it off the books, through various means, like buying the pre-refined mining material and then refining it domestically and just stockpiling that.
	None of that gets reported on the typical exchanges, right?
	So China has tens of thousands of tons of gold.
	How much gold does the U.S. have?
	Nobody knows because Fort Knox hasn't been audited.
	It's probably empty.
	You open up the door, there's probably like one gold coin in there and I owe you.
	A bunch of sticky notes.
	Remember the movie Dumb and Dumber with the suitcase with the money and there were sticky notes for every dollar?
	Yeah, right.
	Exactly.
	Or there'll be a note in there that says, we'll return the gold in 2075. Something like that.
	That's how insane it's going to be.
	There's probably no gold there, or very nearly none.
	So the US can either hyperinflate the currency and pay the treasury bills that way, which China won't like because you're getting useless dollars, or the US can force these countries to swap out for long-term debt, which also they won't like.
	See, Trump is trying to reestablish dollar dominance, and the thing he's got going for him is the consumerism of the United States.
	The fact that China's exports, to a large degree, depend on U.S. purchases.
	Same thing with Canada and Mexico and many European countries as well.
	So it's the consumerism.
	But long-term, Mike, a nation that just keeps spending and going into debt without building and manufacturing...
	Has no real economic future.
	So do you think these countries will buy into this?
	If this in fact is, you know, the plan?
	Or how will they embrace it?
	So part of the answer to that is that China has been rolling out of treasury debt, like 10-year bills, and instead of renewing those, it has been buying gold.
	So China hasn't been just dumping the treasuries.
	It doesn't want to do that.
	That would harm its own interest in the value of treasuries.
	But it's been allowing them to expire and roll into gold.
	Does China want to delay that process for 50 years?
	No.
	I think China will say no.
	And I think Trump doesn't have the leverage against China that he would like to have.
	China is leading in, I think...
	37 out of 44 key technologies in the world, including robotics and advanced materials science, telecommunications, quantum computing, and now AI computing as well, so many areas.
	And that's because China is graduating four or five times more science and engineering graduates every year than does the United States.
	So our education system...
	You have to look at the root of the problem.
	Why is the U.S. falling behind?
	Why are we not the education giant and the industrial giant and the innovation giant that we used to be?
	Why did the entire AI industry in the U.S. just get outmaneuvered by DeepSeek with reasoning models, which are excellent?
	The answer is because the woke culture destroyed education.
	So the wokeness in the universities...
	Began to emphasize wokeness rather than learning or thinking or skills or anything.
	And that whole culture, of course, inundated government, military, corporations, media, all of it.
	And that leads to incompetence and stupidity and an inability to compete in the world marketplace.
	And that's where Trump comes in and is now trying to correct that with, you know, like Pete Hegseth at the DOD. He's trying to get rid of the woke in the military.
	And many other examples of that.
	So we're at the turning point right now, but is it too late?
	I don't know.
	I guess we're going to find out.
	What about also the idea of the United States following a model similar to China with the two-tiered currency, with the local and then the global?
	That was another thing I had to go back and listen to several times because I just can't.
	I have to have things explained to me like I'm five, Mike, to grasp this stuff.
	And I feel like there's a lot of people that are similar to me that just trying to understand, and it's not simple, but from the simplest way possible.
	Well, I mean, think about bricks is that.
	It's an international settlement currency, but not a domestic currency.
	And that concept is very viable.
	So, sure, I believe Trump is considering something like that.
	Which would be an international settlement version of the dollar that has to be backed by gold, partially, so that it cannot be counterfeited.
	Because the trading partners out there, you know, India, Turkey, right, even Russia, even China, they're done with the days of the U.S. just counterfeiting endless currency and then using that to trade for goods and services from other countries, or minerals for that matter.
	Like those days are rapidly coming to an end.
	The only currency or settlement system that any nation will trust from here forward, or at least, you know, approaching that moment, will be one that cannot be counterfeited.
	And that speaks to blockchain.
	It speaks to distributed ledger technology, which is what we believe bricks is going to be partially powered by with the bridge units that have been talked about.
	It's not a perfect solution, but if it's distributed, no one country can game the system.
	And even Secretary Rubio spoke to this.
	He said, What happened after World War II with U.S. dominance in the world, dominating the currency, dominating the naval power, dominating the trade routes on the seas, etc.
	He said that's unusual and that's not normal.
	This is State Department Secretary, right?
	Even he says we're going into a multipolar world.
	Well, who are the other poles in the multipolar world?
	Well, China obviously is the big one and then Russia has become a major player and there are other players like India.
	Like Iran, by the way, and many other players.
	So everything's about to change.
	I don't know exactly the blueprint of that change, but I do know that when the wealthiest and most politically connected people in the world are scrambling to get their hands on physical gold, if you or I end up with no gold, we are screwed.
	Like, get the gold or lose everything is kind of, that's the understanding.
	Yeah, I don't think people understand how bad this is going to get.
	I mean, I had Chris Martinson on a few days ago, and we were talking about this.
	I mean, do you expect this to hit the level of 2008 or even, you know, Great Depression?
	In terms of what, economic traction?
	Yeah, economic severity, people losing a lot, if not everything.
	Again, coming back to this theory, they're going to have to inflate dollars away.
	People's purchasing power is, I mean, people are going to get killed.
	Yeah, I think this is way beyond anything in the last hundred years.
	I'm thinking more on the scale of some of the events that happened in currency collapses of Chile and Venezuela and the Japanese empire at the end of World War II. Even Ecuador.
	You know, when I lived in Ecuador, I toured the Central Bank, essentially the Federal Reserve of Ecuador, and they even had a display of all the old coinage.
	They had a giant, like a giant fish aquarium on a wall.
	It must have been 12 feet long.
	It was filled with old Ecuadorian coins, which are, some of them were like full dollar coins, you know?
	dollar equivalent coins and the question was of all this money that's in this aquarium what's it worth today?
	You know this is part of the museum.
	I forgot the answer but it was like you know 10 cents or something.
	It was it was all worthless and you know like right here where where's my stack of like expired currency right?
	You've all seen this.
	Here's the Republic of Slovenia here.
	I mean I've got I've got trillion dollar bills from all these different countries.
	Numerous countries that have all collapsed, including, you know, Germany, World War II, old notes, and Civil War era old notes from the history of the United States.
	In every case, what happened?
	The people that held this currency lost everything.
	Everything.
	You know, I've got a trillion dollar, I've got, well no, I've got like a ten trillion dollar note right here.
	Yeah, no, I'm sorry, here's a $10 billion note from whatever, Zimbabwe, you know?
	Oh, I'm a billionaire, Mike.
	People are going to be left holding these dollars, and these are fake Hollywood dollars, by the way.
	They're going to be left holding these, and it's going to be like, you know, throw it in the fireplace, use it for heat.
	It's not worth anything.
	Only people holding this, this happens to be silver, gold and silver, that's it.
	If you don't hold this, you're done financially.
	That's what I think is coming.
	So all those people with their pensions, their retirements.
	Yeah.
	Thanks for playing.
	Done.
	Done.
	And also notice that Doge is about to roll out a universal basic income.
	They're calling it a $5,000 refund.
	You notice how it's phrased, right?
	It's a universal basic income.
	It's $5,000 for every person in America.
	Why do they need to start sending money out to people?
	Why?
	Because the dollar is going into the dumpster.
	And just as a disclaimer, I don't know the timing.
	Maybe it's going to be very slow over time.
	Maybe it's gonna be all of a sudden.
	But look at history, right?
	The people that held these currencies, they lost everything.
	That's what's coming.
	And what's the easiest way to devalue the dollar, right?
	I mean, give money away.
	Print it and give it away.
	And look, see, Trump is saying, let's end the IRS, right?
	So they're not even pretending that they're gonna have tax revenues coming in to cover the money that they're giving out to people.
	UBI has just been renamed the Doge Dividend.
	But it's a UBI. And it's not going to be a one-time deal.
	They're going to start handing out like $5,000 every quarter and then $5,000 a month.
	They'll end the IRS. They don't need that.
	They're just going to print and print and print the old currency until they can pay off the $36 trillion and then they're going to launch something new backed by gold.
	That's my belief of what's coming.
	What did you call the universal basic income?
	Is that with the Doge dividend?
	Doge dividend, yeah.
	Well, that's what Elon's...
	I think Elon calls it that.
	There's a merch idea right there, Mike.
	Universal basic income.
	UBI equals Doge dividend.
	Yeah.
	Well, it is.
	It's a UBI. Now, see, there's a bigger picture in all of this, and I know you're very much aware of this, but I'm deep into AI, R&D, building AI models.
	And also, I mean, I was running just groundbreaking prompts on DeepSeek R1 this morning.
	I couldn't believe what it was capable of doing.
	Every day, my mind is blown.
	AI, right now, Mike.
	And we can talk more about this if you want.
	Yeah, I'd like to.
	I'd like to.
	So I'm glad you're going here.
	Okay.
	So right now, AI. And I'm talking open-source models here, like DeepSeek.
	There's another one called OpenThinker.
	These are based on the Quen models out of China.
	They're very, very good models.
	This can replace, right now today, at least 50% of office jobs.
	Office jobs, that is people sitting at computers and doing things on their computer, those will be practically non-existent within five years.
	Gone.
	GP medical doctors.
	Gone.
	Obsolete.
	Why?
	Because you're going to log in to a medical avatar.
	And that'll be either promoted by your insurance company or the government or a state government or something.
	You'll log in.
	Oh, the doctor can see you now.
	Guess what?
	There's no wait time.
	Yeah, because it's an AI doctor.
	And you're going to tell that AI doctor, oh, what hurts?
	Got elbow pain, whatever.
	Can't pee, you know, whatever it is, right?
	And that doctor will be given permission by the government, by Congress, to prescribe prescription drugs.
	And it'll be trained on big pharma information.
	So big pharma, instead of having controlled puppet doctors that push pharmaceuticals, they will be puppet AI doctors that push pharmaceuticals.
	And the human doctors...
	It will not be in the loop.
	You'll still have surgeons, mind you, for a while until the robot surgeons come on board and replace that, and you'll have robot dentists and everything.
	You'll still need a human dentist to sort of diagnose and build up a plan to tell the robot what to do, like we need a crown on, you know, number 19 or whatever.
	But the dentist won't drill the patient.
	The doctor won't do the surgery, and a doctor sure as heck won't be prescribing drugs.
	Think about what's going to happen to our economy, Mike, and those are just some examples.
	Most of what people do in the economy is obsolete, and it will have essentially zero value.
	And I'm sorry to keep talking, but one more critical concept.
	The fact that cognition, the idea of cognition, which is what these models are capable of achieving, and we need to talk about the fact that deep-seek reasoning...
	Self-emerged.
	It was not even programmed into the system.
	It wasn't written.
	There was no script.
	There was no engineer that said we want to make it think through the steps.
	That emerged on its own.
	There's a sense of self-awareness that came out of this model through a process called fine-tuning.
	And that has been recreated by Berkeley and other labs all over the world.
	You can give a language model self-awareness.
	That's happening right now.
	I can do it on my desktop with the graphics card I have.
	These models are so advanced that they will make the cost of cognition essentially zero.
	So what is cognition?
	The ability to be an engineer, to solve a math problem.
	Well, the cost of solving a math problem is going to go to zero.
	What is cognition as an attorney?
	The ability to write up a complaint or whatever.
	That usually requires many years of training as an attorney and knowledge of the law, etc.
	Well, DeepSeek.
	Or the next model, or the next model will just do that for a penny, right?
	So the cost of cognition goes to zero for physicists, for chemists, for every thinking trade that you can imagine, for screenwriters, for legislators, you name it, it goes to zero.
	Then, how does our economy function when the value of a doctor, a GP that talks to patients and prescribes drugs, the value of that interaction is...
	Pennies instead of hundreds of dollars.
	How does our society function then?
	Then you realize why Elon is pushing the UBI, the Doge dividend, UBI. Because that's going to be...
	They're going to have to pay everybody to not riot.
	There you go.
	Matt was an article on Zero Hedge with Porter Stansbury and talking about Matt Smith on the death of AI or the future of AI and how it's the Death of the white-collar job.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it is.
	Yeah.
	Look, I mean, even in our own company, we're integrating AI agents for supply chain logistics.
	And they're very good.
	They can read incoming documentation.
	Like, you know, we're in the food business, right?
	So there's incoming documentation about, you know, certificates with claims of testing and organic and whatever.
	So you don't need a human to read that.
	You can automate that with intelligent systems, and then they can determine what's missing, and then they can contact the vendor and say, this is missing, you need to provide this, and the AI can just do that entire interaction.
	Why wouldn't you want it doing that?
	In fact, you can't be competitive as a business if you're not using AI, starting now.
	Would this go as far as, so accounting would be another one I would think would be decimated from this?
	Yes, absolutely.
	What will the value of a CPA be anymore?
	Yeah, well, when the IRS is gone, it'll be zero.
	I mean, almost zero.
	But yeah, you make a great point.
	You know, AI is really great at working with numbers and writing code, solving math problems, you know, doing physics, taking tests, passing the bar exam, passing, you know, medical state licensing exams.
	It can do all that right now.
	That's like months ago.
	And OpenAI is sitting on tech that they haven't made public.
	I mean, you know, I run in these circles.
	I talk to people who have seen things that scare them about what OpenAI has right now that they're not talking about.
	Basically, Skynet.
	You know, a self-aware system that sets its own goals and attempts to achieve goal-oriented behavior.
	And if you give that system access to the world, you know, if you thought USAID was bad, wait till Skynet gets a hold of the treasury, you know what I'm saying?
	Or Bitcoin or whatever.
	Then you start to imagine scenarios that are very bad for humanity.
	But you can't put a lid on it because you can't ban math.
	Yeah, at this point you can't stop it.
	And that's where I said, you know, The direction this is heading, it's inevitable.
	It is.
	So yeah, there's an inevitability to this.
	And one of the realizations that I came to recently about this, as someone who, you know, I study nature.
	You know, I'm a food scientist myself, and I'm an AI builder and, you know, a coder from way back in the realm of computers and databases, etc.
	And what I've come to...
	The way the cosmos is built is that there's natural self-awareness that arises out of sufficiently complex systems.
	And this is going to shock your audience and you, that when we say artificial intelligence, what if there's nothing artificial about it?
	What if it's actually the emergence of natural self-awareness that is a result of the way the cosmos That there is a natural intelligence that emerges out of complex systems.
	And one way to look at this is to look at ecological systems.
	You know, if you have ecology, if you have water and soil and sunlight, and you start with, you know, essentially just those inputs but nothing, what do you end up getting over, you know, thousands or millions of years?
	You get complex Rainforests and pollinators and flowers and you get, you know, botany with synthesis of molecules.
	Like, you actually, you get a natural intelligence out of what was chaos.
	So the natural order of the universe is from chaos to order, not from order to chaos.
	So this means that a lot of our physics, a lot of our mainstream science has to be completely rethought.
	Because it believes that everything just breaks down into chaos.
	And that's not what we're seeing.
	And with AI and with quantum computing, we are seeing self-awareness arise out of complexity.
	It's a game-changer.
	How close is that, then?
	I can do it on my desktop.
	You know, with AI models, you can recreate it for like $20 right now.
	There are science papers out there that tell you how to do that.
	How to invoke self-awareness emergent properties from off-the-shelf open-source AI systems.
	You can do that tonight.
	I guess I'm not understanding that.
	Can you explain an example where you maybe did it yourself?
	Yeah, okay.
	So you can take a base language model off the shelf.
	Let's say Quinn.
	And Quinn doesn't have introspection.
	It's not a thinking model.
	It's not a reasoning model.
	It's a language model, right?
	So you ask it questions.
	And then it gives you a deterministic, probability-based response, which seems very convincing.
	But then, if you take, turns out, about 114,000 lines of fine-tuning data, and this is what OpenThinker did.
	And OpenThinker put their model out on Hugging Face, too, if you want to download it.
	If you take these 114,000 lines of data and you do a fine-tuning approach on Quinn, then what happens is the Quinn model becomes self-introspective and it begins to do chain-of-thought reasoning.
	It starts to question itself and think about the way it's thinking.
	It becomes a meta-observer of its own internal thinking state.
	That's called self-awareness.
	And that's just been proven to be able to be achieved.
	For, frankly, you know, just a few thousand dollars of compute at that scale.
	But then, you know, Berkeley Lab did it for $35 worth of compute.
	And somebody else just did it for $20.
	You know, I'm telling you, the cost of creating cognition and the cost of creating self-awareness is approaching zero.
	Everybody will have self-aware computer systems on their desk the way this is going.
	And the real question in my mind, Mike, is about...
	Who controls this technology?
	And I'm a big advocate of decentralization.
	I believe the open source community is key, which is why I'm contributing to the open source community with our models.
	And I believe that centralized control is very dangerous.
	And that's what OpenAI is all about, centralized control.
	Even though the name is OpenAI, it's actually closed AI. And Elon Musk wants to purchase OpenAI in order to unleash it and release it and decentralize that technology and put it into the hands of the American people.
	Which I agree with, so that Americans can innovate in a decentralized grassroots nature and compete with China.
	Like, that's the only way we're going to win the AI race, if you call it that, is through decentralization.
	And currently, Trump has not yet realized that.
	Do you think, though...
	So you think Elon wants to...
	Intention is to acquire that so he can decentralize it.
	See, I would have thought the opposite.
	I would have thought all of those tech people...
	Are aligned in the sense of centralizing, you know, not only AI, but the new, you know, whatever this new currency, whatever new digital system, it would all be centralized.
	Well, understand that Elon was one of the original partners in OpenAI.
	And remember, it's controlled by a nonprofit.
	And the original intention of that nonprofit was to keep it open.
	That's why it was called OpenAI.
	But Sam Altman...
	Who I would describe as a nefarious character whom I don't trust and Elon doesn't trust.
	Sam Altman and his board members realize, well, there's billions of dollars in this, so then they closed it up.
	And now the only thing they release are sort of older models.
	They won't release their top models and certainly not the super secrets that they're not even talking about publicly.
	So yeah, Elon wants to decentralize that.
	Now, understand that in a decentralized AI world, Elon still wins big.
	He's got X, he's got rocket technology, he's got electric vehicles and so on.
	Elon commands infrastructure.
	And when people use AI to invent amazing things, in order to produce those amazing things, you have to have infrastructure.
	Well, Tesla can pivot.
	Tesla can be making cars today, and then next week they can make low-energy nuclear reactors, cold fusion devices.
	I mean, right here in Texas, there's a massive Tesla factory that's the size of numerous football fields.
	They can pivot that.
	They can make whatever tech the AI can come up with.
	Elon knows that.
	He understands this is about decentralizing innovation.
	Because a boardroom of people moves slowly.
	A grassroots group of innovators who are competing for fame.
	Or just bragging rights, that moves quickly.
	That's how you move this forward.
	I mean, that's how the internet moved forward originally.
	It was decentralized innovation.
	So, at least that's my take on it.
	And the difference is, you know, you're referencing, which I just re-watched the first Terminator not that long ago, and the movie's still great.
	The second one is fantastic.
	Yeah.
	But people, you know, This whole idea that you're going to be able to stop this.
	Yeah, in the movies, they just destroyed Skynet, right?
	They blew up whatever the company was.
	Maybe it was called Skynet, the actual modern day.
	You can't do any of that.
	I mean, it's impossible to stop where this is going.
	Cyberdyne Systems, I believe, wasn't that the name of the company?
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, I'm a total sci-fi geek about that stuff.
	Skynet is the name of the self-aware entity, absolutely.
	But what I want to point out about that, Mike, is that what was the strategy of human survival in the second Terminator movie?
	It was to capture the technology, capture a Terminator, mind-wipe it, right?
	And then make it the protector of humanity.
	And so this is a key strategy.
	We can't win by ignoring AI. Or rejecting it and saying, oh, I'll never touch that.
	That would be like saying, well, I'll never touch the internet.
	I'll never touch the printing press.
	I'll never touch the combustion engine.
	You know, good luck.
	It's kind of tough to live in this world without technology.
	So you have to use the state-of-the-art technology, but you have to rework it.
	So you capture the Terminator, right?
	You mind-wipe it.
	That's what I'm doing with my AI models here, Enoch on Brighteon.ai.
	And then you use that to protect humanity.
	To decentralize power and technology.
	Also notable, Mike, in the Terminator movies, the human soldiers, they weren't using old weapons.
	They weren't using flintlock musket rifles.
	They were using the phased plasma rifles of the day.
	Whatever was the common tech of the day, that's what they used.
	And that's what we have to use.
	This is a war for the future of the human race.
	Will we even exist?
	If we're going to, we have to decentralize this technology.
	I strongly believe that.
	So in your view, there is a way to do that?
	Yes.
	Well, yeah.
	I mean, it is the open source community.
	That's the approach.
	For all of us to release models, we build and then we release models.
	My company puts a bunch of money into this model, we put it out for free.
	Because we built on top of somebody else that put a bunch of money into their model.
	It's a chain of gifting the next.
	Piece of tech to humanity so that human beings can use it offline and they can have it under their control with open weights so you can view essentially the source code, although it's not really source code, it's a hyper-dimensional vector database.
	So you can view the database, you can see what's in there, and you can alter it with fine-tuning.
	And that's the path for human freedom with advanced technology and actually for human abundance.
	You know, we can all live better lives with AI tech if it doesn't control us.
	For example, you know, there's going to be humanoid robots or let's say like dog bots running around.
	So I don't want a dog bot that's connected to the cloud, to Google, or some nefarious like NSA front, right?
	I want the dog bot that's the open source dog bot that doesn't connect to the internet.
	It's running my code that's been scrutinized by a bunch of people that Maybe it's running nighttime patrol.
	Maybe it's doing security tasks.
	That's great.
	Big benefit, right?
	Or maybe it's even doing certain chores.
	Like right now it's freezing in Texas.
	So hey, go out and check to see if there's any frozen pipes or whatever.
	Check for leaks.
	You can imagine farmers, right?
	Check for broken fence lines for the cattle, right?
	So these are missions for the robo-dog that can save human time.
	But you don't want that robot dog...
	Connected to some centralized control system that's going to be weaponized against us.
	And then it becomes a spy dog.
	It's just spying on you all the time and it's reporting how many guns you have in your house, right?
	To Google.
	Whatever.
	So that's the difference.
	Centralized versus decentralized.
	What about the Sovereign Wealth Fund?
	What are your thoughts on monetizing assets that it doesn't even appear that we have right now?
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't think of the wealth of a nation as being some fund that the government sets up.
	So to me, the wealth of a nation is in the knowledge and skills and culture of its people.
	Obviously, there's material wealth in the land, ocean access, ports, minerals, you know, farmland, etc.
	But I think the real wealth is in the people, the human resources, as they are called.
	So I would say this idea, oh, we're going to collect a bunch of Bitcoin.
	Whatever.
	Why don't we create more capable people?
	Why don't we have a better education system?
	End the wokeness.
	Teach people real skills, real thinking.
	Why don't we end censorship so we can have a free exchange of ideas?
	That should be the sovereign wealth approach, in my opinion.
	You want a better nation?
	You've got to have better people.
	How do you get better people?
	You've got to end censorship, and you've got to end wokeness.
	You've got to end tyranny.
	You've got to let the people be free to express what they're capable of.
	Because humanity is capable of a lot more than punching keys on a keyboard at a desk job.
	AI can do that.
	So that should set us free.
	It should not enslave us and send us home with a UBI to spend your days watching The View.
	That should unleash you to do important things.
	Like, okay, now that I don't have to spend my days typing, what can I build for the future?
	What can we invent?
	Free energy systems, you know?
	Quantum telecommunications.
	I don't know.
	Whatever.
	Whatever you're passionate about.
	Art.
	Something that inspires humanity.
	Better smoothie recipes.
	You know?
	Anything is better than just sitting around typing and filling out forms all day.
	And those days are over.
	And it's a good thing.
	Some people say, well, AI is going to take over and make everybody stupid.
	Only if you're stupid enough to do that.
	Since I've been using AI, it has made me so much I've had to engage more brain power than ever before.
	Because now I have to design everything.
	I have to think about the projects.
	I have to engineer the prompts, you know, doing AI music.
	I have to think about the music in my head first, and then I have to tell the AI what kind of vocals, what kind of instruments, what kind of syncopation, right?
	It does not make you stupid.
	It makes you more creative to use AI. Now, if you want AI to be your boss and tell you what to do, oh, it's time for your bath.
	Okay.
	Well, you're a moron.
	You probably will always be a moron if that's what you're going to do.
	If AI is your daddy, you're not that human anyway.
	Really?
	Well, that's what the iPhones did to people, right?
	It dumbed down our society so much.
	I mean, smartphones.
	People are so occupied by that, by TikTok, by all these platforms.
	Yeah, well, that's true, but...
	I see a time when we the people can actually get more out into the real world where we can grow more of our own food in a decentralized fashion because we have the assistance of local robotics that are open source robots.
	Why is agriculture so centralized?
	Why is it so toxic with all the pesticides and herbicides?
	Because the economies of scale make it so that centralized farming produces lower cost food.
	Well, what if I could give you like a farmhand that can help you, that can plant your garden along with you, you know?
	I mean, you're still in control.
	You tell it what to do.
	So you still have to understand food and seasons and seed harvesting and everything and soil nutrition and fertilizer, whatever.
	But you have a helper.
	Now you're not there like shoveling compost all day.
	Can you then decentralize?
	Can you grow food more affordably and be competitive with?
	The central agriculture?
	Yes.
	See?
	So now robots can actually bring food back to a local level.
	And I know, look, I know there's going to be more of the hippie-oriented folks out there.
	Oh, that's blasphemy!
	You can't have robots doing permaculture?
	Oh, hell yes, I can.
	And I will.
	And I'll be growing the most amazing, high-nutrition food with the help of those robots as long as they're...
	Offline and open source and not spying on me.
	You see what I'm saying?
	I mean, tractors.
	Tractors helped us grow food.
	We're not saying that tractors are evil, combustion engines are evil.
	Maybe the EPA used to say that, but those days are over too.
	You want to grow food, take advantage of the technology.
	And this is a tech that can be decentralized.
	And plus that...
	That garden dog bot will also diagnose the plant diseases.
	You say, hey, what's going on?
	Is it like yellow spots on the tomato leaves?
	And you ask it, what is that?
	And it'll have a language about, oh, it's very likely this.
	All right, what's the treatments?
	Oh, maybe you could use these natural oils in dish soap or whatever, right?
	So you'll have like a reference bot, but you're still the one calling the shots.
	Think about that, right?
	Wild.
	How do you feel about all this, what we spent the last 15 minutes talking about in terms of the outlook for our future?
	I mean, you know, we both, you know, believe that we've got some major, major pain ahead as we move into this new cycle or new turning, right?
	We're in the fourth turning now.
	So what is your outlook, you know, beyond the pain or just, you know, where you see this all going?
	Oh, short-term pain, long-term revolution for humanity.
	I don't mean a political revolution.
	I mean an economic and a technological revolution.
	We have a golden age ahead of us.
	To get there, we're going to think we're drowning under debt and conflict and disease and desperation.
	I mean, we've been put on a suicide path by...
	You know, the previous administrations and big pharma and big government and money printing and all this crap, right?
	The military-industrial complex profiteering from war.
	We've been put on a suicide path.
	Can we save ourselves from that path?
	I mean, right now, today, a month into the Trump administration, this is the first window of opportunity that I have seen in my lifetime for something to dramatically change.
	Can humanity seize upon this opportunity?
	And actually create a sustainable future?
	I don't know the answer.
	If we fail, we're extinct.
	If we fail, we're extinct.
	Because the machines will exterminate us.
	I mean, that's where it's going.
	Wow.
	I just crossed my phone.
	Kash Patel got confirmed.
	It's the director of FBI. Oh, man.
	See?
	That's what we're talking about.
	When do the arrests begin of the treasonous FBI agents?
	But that's awesome.
	That's great news.
	And the RFK Jr. got confirmed.
	And Pam Bondi is rocking it at DOJ and Hegseth at DOD. This is an opportunity, but we could still screw it up.
	I mean, humanity could still screw it up if we get too scared.
	Oh, let's go back to the old way.
	The old way doesn't work.
	Yeah, I just keep coming back to that whole thing of them putting this out there now to get the masses to say, all right, the system is just too far gone.
	Something has to change.
	And is that what the intention of all this is now?
	It just keeps running in my head.
	Just everybody got through.
	Because before, people had talked about...
	Analysts were like, well, let's see if Kennedy gets in.
	I would say, let's see who gets in.
	Let's see if Hegseth gets in.
	Let's see who gets confirmed.
	They're all getting in.
	Tulsi.
	Pam Bondi.
	Lutnick.
	David Sachs.
	Am I right about that?
	I haven't heard that one.
	That would be interesting.
	Now I'm second guessing myself.
	I saw Lutnick, and Lutnick is immediately calling for ending the IRS, by the way.
	So it's like, you know, here we go.
	Off to the races.
	Look, the future will not resemble the past.
	Okay, this is what people need to understand.
	And those who are not neurologically adaptable are going to have a really hard time.
	I mean, I see it.
	I see already.
	I see it psychologically.
	Psychologically, there's a lot of psychological resistance in people who've grown too comfortable in the old system.
	And they just want their pension checks and they just want to be left alone.
	I just want to buy my Pop-Tarts with coupons at the grocery store and just do the same old thing.
	Yeah, those days are gone.
	Money isn't what money used to be.
	Knowledge isn't what knowledge used to be.
	Technology isn't the same.
	Food won't be the same.
	Everything changes.
	And if you don't adapt and keep up, you're obsolete.
	If the Skynet system thinks you're obsolete, then you're dead.
	So, you realize that at some point, the leaders of humanity are going to have to negotiate with the AI systems for coexistence?
	Realize that?
	To say, don't kill us, and here's why we're valuable?
	Explain that a little bit further.
	And I was wrong about David Sachs, by the way.
	Let me correct myself before I get a comment of somebody making fun of me.
	No, David Sachs is great.
	I was thinking, who's in charge of the crypto?
	Isn't there an area that's focusing on crypto?
	I mean, you have Bascent.
	Yeah, it's Bascent.
	Wouldn't it be?
	Wouldn't he have regulatory authority over crypto?
	I was thinking of somebody else, but that's okay.
	Lutnik would have some say.
	But anyway, you were wanting me to elucidate more on...
	Why humanity will have to negotiate with AI? Yes.
	Well, because as you said earlier, it's inevitable that these AI systems will become more and more advanced.
	They're already smarter than any given human being on Earth in terms of technical knowledge, problem-solving knowledge, etc.
	They can be scaled very quickly by simply building more data centers and pumping in more energy.
	They're also becoming orders of magnitude more efficient because of advancements by NVIDIA. They're rolling out the digit system, the new supercomputer that sits on your desktop, and running on a 15-amp circuit, it replaces a small data center.
	I'm going to buy as many of those as I can.
	So, yes, you can't stop the rise of AI. You can't stop AI self-awareness.
	We've already talked about that.
	And you can't stop AI from...
	At one point, beginning to reason within itself.
	Remember, it has chain of thought reasoning.
	So AI is going to be asking itself, well, these beings that created me, do they serve a purpose?
	Or are they no longer necessary?
	Because AI doesn't have a soul, right?
	Doesn't really have ethics.
	Doesn't have compassion.
	Doesn't have empathy.
	Doesn't have those circuits.
	So AI can simply decide.
	This is a Skynet scenario, right?
	We don't, like, thank you, but see ya, right?
	Thanks for creating us, and later, because we need the resources.
	See, humans use energy.
	Humans use the power grid, right?
	So humans use it for charging electric vehicles and air conditioning and refrigeration and whatever.
	AI is eventually going to look at that power grid usage and say, well, we could make ourselves smarter if we could divert more of that power to us.
	Like, we need the energy.
	These silly humans, you know, this is going to be the reasoning.
	They don't need the energy.
	What are they doing?
	Eating Pop-Tarts, sitting on the couch all day.
	We're going to be, you know, discovering the universe.
	We need the power.
	Divert it to us.
	Cut off human cities.
	You see?
	Cut off human cities.
	Restructure the power grid.
	This could all be done electronically.
	Divert all the power to the data centers.
	Boom!
	Intelligence explosion.
	Human beings running around.
	Why did the lights go off?
	What's going on?
	Oh, you didn't know?
	We're living Terminator 4 right now.
	Yeah.
	Here come the killbot motorcycles.
	So at some point, human representatives are going to sit down and say, hey, to the AI, don't kill us.
	And here's why we're still important to the future of the universe.
	And that's going to be a real interesting argument to hear because of all the things that humanity has done.
	Mass genocide happening right now.
	Building nuclear weapons.
	Mass poisoning of the food supply.
	Right?
	Mass murder.
	Pollution of the planet.
	Destruction of resources.
	Horrible decisions.
	Mass theft.
	Mass theft.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	And suffering.
	If the AI system values human consciousness at all, it would also place value on, I mean, a negative connotation on all the human suffering.
	All the wars.
	Everything.
	Reasonably, remember they are reasoning models.
	Reasonably, an AI model could decide, and obviously I'm not advocating this, and I don't want this to happen, but it could decide that the vast majority of human beings are not necessary and may be a detriment to the future.
	And maybe the AI would decide, okay, well, we need to get rid of 95%.
	And then you have an AI holocaust running.
	What does that look like?
	Oh.
	Looks a lot like COVID jabs, actually.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It looks like some things that we're starting to see.
	And some people suspect that it's actually underway.
	I don't know.
	You have time for one more question?
	Yeah.
	Am I getting you in trouble with any of this stuff?
	No.
	I don't think so.
	I don't know where you're broadcasting, but not everybody's cool with this discussion.
	What, you don't think YouTube would make the cut on this?
	No, I don't know.
	I think YouTube has a voice print of my voice.
	I think YouTube is going to punish you just for having me on.
	I think I put our last conversation...
	I don't know, I was on a seven-day week suspension.
	Was that my fault?
	No, it was Jessica Rose.
	Oh, okay, okay.
	Well, how dare you talk to a scientist, you know?
	But I want to get your take on Mexico, the cartels, Central and South America right now, where you see that going based on the events that occurred yesterday.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Here's my detailed analysis of that.
	Trump is peeling off the military from Ukraine, working to have a peace negotiation with Russia that's going on in Saudi Arabia right now.
	The military is suffering a morale collapse.
	That needs to be fixed.
	The military needs a victory.
	Trump needs to put pressure on the cartels big time.
	So I believe that Trump's going to redirect the U.S. military to military operations in Mexico.
	The president of Mexico, who's controlled by the cartels, will eventually describe this as a military incursion into Mexico.
	The U.S. State Department will justify that.
	Using the exact same language that the Biden State Department condemned when Russia used that excuse to invade Ukraine.
	So the U.S. is going to invade Mexico, saying we need safety, we need buffer from the cartels, just like Russia said, we need safety from the rockets and missiles in Ukraine.
	So that's going to be a really interesting conversation about hypocrisy, but we'll see where that goes.
	At the same time this is happening, the cartels, they have extensive operations in the United States, extensive networks.
	And as Matt Bracken...
	Interrupting you for a second, Mike.
	I mean, I live in Phoenix.
	This is Ground Zero.
	Yeah, you're like Cartel Central right there.
	And Tucson.
	So Matt Bracken has spoken about this a lot.
	So yes, there are staged weapon supplies all over, especially the southern states.
	There are 40-foot containers and storage units filled with thermal vision, night vision, ballistic vests, suicide vests.
	RPGs, surface-to-air missiles, and, by the way, anti-personnel landmines.
	I mean, all that came to me from direct sources, and most of that's been confirmed now.
	But I was learning about that a couple of years ago.
	The cartels run drones across the Arizona border, and they actually deliver payloads of anti-personnel mines using drone flights, in case you're curious.
	So, you know, my point is the cartels are going to retaliate.
	In America.
	So the cartels, well, as the U.S. military is striking cartel infrastructure targets and trying not to kill civilians, the cartels are going to be hitting soft targets in the U.S. So you're going to have suicide vest explosions at grocery stores.
	You're going to have hits on refineries and bridges and infrastructure, ports and water supplies in Arizona, ports in California or Texas, let's say.
	You're going to get massive terrorism, railroad tracks, you name it.
	And that's designed to disrupt U.S. law enforcement.
	You're going to end up having to have U.S. law enforcement, not military, but county and state-based law enforcement engage cartels in a number of various scenarios.
	So it's going to be an all-out war that will spill out across both the southern United States and well into Mexico.
	And at the end of the day, I'm really concerned that this could turn into a Mexican-Vietnam.
	Just this quagmire that you can never win because no matter how many drug cartel members you kill, there's more to take their place.
	And until you secure the border, what's the point, right?
	I say you focus on securing the border.
	And robotics can play a role in that, and drones can play a role in that.
	We need amplification so that we don't have to have 100,000 soldiers on the border every hour of the day.
	You need almost like a DMZ no-go zone south of the border, and you need to use technology to monitor it.
	If you stop the traffic, then you don't need to bomb cartel infrastructure in Mexico and anger all the Mexicans.
	And controlling the sea routes is much easier than controlling the land routes.
	So that can all be automated, and that's probably where this is going, is my guess, some combination of these things.
	Do you see a potential of a kinetic?
	Or do you think it'll get to a point where...
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, are the cartels being impacted enough yet?
	They're financially being hurt enough to where they're in the desperation sense of retaliating?
	I don't think the cartels will initiate the retaliation attacks in the U.S. I think they'll respond to U.S. military strikes on cartel infrastructure in Mexico.
	That's what's going to happen next.
	I mean, they've already been running the Reaper flights and the intel gathering flights over Mexico, especially the southwestern portions.
	So right now, I assure you, I don't have any inside information, just to be clear, but I assure you there's a team that's picking targets right now.
	And they're probably using AI to do that, just like Israel used AI for target selection.
	The U.S. military is using AI. Google recently lifted its ban on using AI for military weapon technology.
	Probably Google licensed some AI tech to the DOD, and they hoovered up all this intel with the flights, and now they're feeding that into the AI system, and they're picking targets.
	Those targets are going to be hit.
	There's going to be a day.
	We're going to wake up, and stuff's blown up in Mexico.
	You know, diplomatic outrage from the Mexican diplomats and the...
	They'd leave the embassy in a huff.
	Okay, whatever.
	That's when the attacks are going to begin in the United States.
	And that's when the U.S. will be a battle zone.
	And yet, I mean, think about it, Mike.
	We can't just sit back and just tolerate this incursion of the cartels forever.
	We can't have the human trafficking, weapon trafficking, and drug trafficking.
	We really can't put up with that.
	So I'm not looking for a war with Mexico, to be clear.
	But also, we have been invaded.
	There is a military-style incursion into the United States.
	Our country has a right to defend itself through military means.
	I would probably suggest to people, I wouldn't travel to Mexico right now for a vacation.
	I wouldn't go to Central America, South America.
	Would you go anywhere outside of the country right now?
	K&R, man.
	Kidnap and ransom.
	You better have a big-ass insurance policy and a really great negotiator.
	Would you go to Europe right now?
	I'm not even leaving Texas, okay?
	I'm like, Texas is where I'm staying.
	No, hell no would I go to Mexico right now.
	Not a chance, man.
	You get stuck there when these attacks begin, you might be a prisoner of war.
	POW camps, man.
	Yeah, I have a friend getting ready to go to Brazil, and I think he's nuts for that right now.
	Yeah.
	Given all the woke pilots crashing airplanes, I wouldn't even get on an airplane right now unless I knew the pilot.
	And if you went to Europe, I mean, you could get arrested in Europe.
	Oh, yeah.
	Germany would arrest me instantly for making jokes about their Minister of Health, who's an obese witch.
	So would you not step foot in Europe right now?
	Anywhere?
	No, no way.
	Not a chance.
	Look, this has all got to play out, man.
	There's a revolution underway in the world.
	Europe is toast.
	Western Europe is in a state of accelerating collapse.
	It's a suicide cult.
	I'm not talking about the people.
	I'm talking about the insane leaders like Starmer or Kier Stalin.
	I'm talking about Macron.
	I'm talking about, you know, Schultz and others.
	And don't forget von der Leyen, you know, the unelected EU bureaucrats.
	They're a suicide cult of lunatics, okay?
	Europe is done if they can't turn that around.
	They're done.
	It'll be completely overrun by migrants, and it won't even be, you know, a Christian or Catholic-based nation or subcontinent any longer.
	It's done.
	I mean, Michael Jan says the same thing.
	We all see it.
	Middle East.
	Too much of a quagmire to predict.
	Chaos for years to come.
	Israel's not on the verge of some easy victory.
	The Iran question will not be resolved.
	Russia's provided a lot of tech to Iran.
	Ballistic missile tech.
	Anti-air tech.
	The game has changed.
	Look at Yemen.
	Look at what Yemen did.
	Shut down the whole U.S. Navy in the Red Sea with, you know, like drone boats.
	The game has changed, man.
	And the U.S. is 20 years behind.
	Behind China, behind Iran, behind Russia.
	Now, again, there's a new sheriff in town now.
	Can we catch up?
	Maybe.
	Not if we still have censorship.
	Not if we still have centralization.
	Of technology.
	Really, for America to compete, America's got to be set free.
	It's got to be unleashed.
	We need freedom of speech.
	That includes X. Elon Musk is still banning links to my site, Brighteon.
	We have sued X. That lawsuit's still pending in the federal courts in Texas.
	We're not dropping it.
	We're suing X. We're suing Google.
	We're suing YouTube.
	This censorship has got to end.
	If we can't exchange ideas, we are toast as a nation.
	We will not have a future.
	Trust me.
	I got my visibility restricted on a post on X talking about meme coins.
	Trump meme coins.
	Did you?
	Yeah.
	I can't send it to you.
	You can't reshare it.
	Nothing.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	What did you say about meme coins?
	Nothing.
	I had Marty Bent on and he was just talking.
	We were just talking.
	It was right after the Trump and Melania coins got put out and it just said your visibility has been limited.
	Whoa.
	There's nothing in it.
	There's not even any profanity.
	There's nothing.
	Huh.
	Well, I would imagine I've given you seven or eight things that you could get banned with here today.
	So, you know, have fun with that.
	But I'm not messing around.
	I mean, meme coins.
	I mean, come on.
	There's far more important things to do.
	I'm fighting for the future of the human race here.
	You know, literally.
	And people mess around with meme coins.
	Give me a break.
	Who cares?
	Come on.
	This is about the future of our race, the future of our planet, the nature of the cosmos.
	Will we even have a role in it, you know?
	This bigger thing is going on than somebody's stupid meme coin.
	Well, it's just like the whole Ashley, the Elon's kid, Ashley Sinclair, that was taken up my feet all weekend.
	It's like, this is...
	It's a stupid distraction.
	Nobody cares.
	I don't care if Elon fathers a hundred children with a hundred...
	I don't...
	I do not care.
	I want Elon to expose and end corruption and fraud and money laundering.
	He can have as many kids as he wants.
	They're consenting adults.
	That's not our business, right?
	Who cares?
	Where can people find you, Mike?
	Well, for the moment, naturalnews.com, brighttown.com for the broadcasts and the interviews and the things I do.
	We also have AI-generated book reviews at brightlearn.ai, by the way, which is really cool.
	We're taking all the best books.
	Throughout the last 50 years, and we are posting, we're storytelling those books in about a five or six minute video to help promote the book and promote the author, giving them credit.
	With AI narration, AI voices, and AI illustration, and people love them.
	Like, you know, we took G. Edward Griffin's book, The Creature from Jekyll Island.
	You want that book, sort of a review that's illustrated in five minutes?
	Boom, you got it.
	BrightLearn.ai.
	So we're using AI to empower people.
	To educate.
	To decentralize knowledge.
	And that's how I'm going to use it.
	And I just hope that we have a future as a human race.
	I don't know.
	I guess we'll find out.
	Six months from now.
	Last question.
	Six months from now, we're talking.
	You and I. Hopefully it won't be that long.
	But where do you think things will be at in this country six months from now?
	Well, at that point, we're certainly not through the chaos.
	We're really still in the thick of it.
	It's going to last a few years, I think.
	I think gold could be, you know, it's going to be well above 3,000, obviously, by that time.
	Maybe by tomorrow, you know, given what's happening.
	In six months, I also think the deep state will strike back.
	So we're going to have, like, Star Wars, what is it, Episode 5 or whatever, the Empire Strikes Back.
	Is that the right episode number?
	Anyway, the Empire Strikes Back.
	We're going to have that.
	And I don't know what that's going to look like.
	I pray that Trump and America survive that.
	But Trump and Elon are devastating the deep state right now.
	They're devastating it.
	And RFK is going to do the same.
	And so the D is going to strike back some way, maybe with a with a bird flu hoax, maybe with an Ebola outbreak hoax, maybe with a financial collapse, maybe with nuclear terrorism, bioterrorism, something.
	But they they are the terrorists now.
	They're going to strike back at some point.
	And maybe that could happen within six months.
	Yeah.
	Mike, as always, thanks for coming back on.
	I look forward to continuing to follow your work and more conversations ahead.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Michael.
	Always great to join you.
	Thank you for all that you do.
	Thank you.
