Welcome to the Health Ranger Report with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger!
What's critical to understand about the economy right now is that, yes, we're going to go through a very bad recession, but we've already been in a recession for a long time that has been covered up by artificial government jobs and government spending and government money printing.
So that has created the illusion of a productive economy.
And the illusion of a rising stock market for a very long time.
But sadly, over the years, government became larger and larger to the point where government became almost like 50% of the economy.
And, you know, that was way too much.
And it was just based on a lot of waste and inefficiencies, fraud, you know, just government getting larger and larger and paying itself a bunch of money and printing money.
So that is being at least partially corrected by the Doge effort here.
A lot of government jobs are being slashed.
It's a start.
We need millions of them to be removed because they're not doing anything to help society.
83% of USAID has been shut down now, according to Secretary Rubio.
And that's also a good thing.
And maybe that needs to be, you know, 90% or 95%.
They're still looking at it.
But it was way too big.
It was a giant slush fund operation.
So all those tens of billions of dollars that were being thrown around through USAID, well, those are no longer being sent out to everybody.
And so that money has dried up, which means that those people are not spending money on the things that people spend money on, right?
So those people who, even though they were getting illicit slush fund money, They were still going out to eat at restaurants and they were flying on airplanes and they were buying consumer goods and they were shopping on Amazon, etc.
They were buying cars and gasoline and what have you.
Well, all that's coming to an end.
So yes, we are going to go through a recession period here, maybe two years, maybe worse than a recession, maybe a depression.
But that's because we're resetting the system and eliminating the waste and fraud.
And now we're going to see what the real economy has actually been.
And the real economy, that is the private sector economy, where people actually produce things, you know, goods and services that benefit others, that has been in trouble for a very long time anyway, all through the Biden years.
In fact, it got a lot worse through the Biden years.
And even in Trump's first term before that, the real economy is in bad shape.
Go through here is you're going to see a massive shutdown of more retailers.
This is already happening.
It seems like every day there's another retailer announcing closures of hundreds of stores or just total bankruptcy.
You're seeing the pharmacies in all kinds of trouble, like CVS is shutting down hundreds of stores, for example.
You're going to see Walmarts and Targets actually shutting down.
You're going to see other retail chains shutting down all over the place.
And a lot of restaurants and small businesses that are local, We'll also be shutting down.
Why?
Well, again, because local people just aren't spending as much money any longer.
So this is a time to be very conservative and very protective of your assets.
And I continue to believe that gold and silver will be the asset that gets us through all of this.
And we're going to see continued devaluation of the dollar because the money printing hasn't stopped.
And it's not going to stop.
Despite all the cuts of government spending that Doge has accomplished, the government's still every year spending trillions of dollars that it does not have.
And so that's being printed.
And yet at the same time, the debt burden of this nation is becoming insane.
For example, did you know that just this calendar year in 2025, there's $10 trillion in debt that Is coming due where the U.S. has to find new buyers to buy up the $10 trillion.
You know, I mean, if they're going to roll over the loan and, you know, keep that money without having to pay back the principal, which is not the way, you know, the Treasury works, they just keep borrowing money and paying out, you know, interest on the money they borrowed, and that's going to continue.
For a very long time until the collapse comes.
But $10 trillion is coming due this year, so the Treasury has to find buyers for $10 trillion of debt.
Are there buyers for $10 trillion of debt in this calendar year?
No, not at 3% interest rate.
There aren't.
So what it means is they're going to have to raise the interest rate that they pay.
To the debt holders who buy treasuries, which means the treasury rates are going to go way above 5%.
They might go to 6% or, God forbid, 7% or something like that.
It's coming.
Or the Fed has to buy it.
So the Fed has to print money to buy the treasury debt, which is like a snake eating its own tail.
It's one of the bad signs of a total Ponzi scheme.
Is getting, you know, horribly bad and it's self-destructing, you know, etc.
Not a good situation.
And it's very clear where that ends up.
It's going to end up in a total collapse of the currency, ultimately.
And I continue to believe, by the way, that the only way Trump can really pay off this dent is to launch a new currency parallel to the dollar.
And then...
You know, hyperinflate the dollar that is printing it to pay off all the debts with devalued dollars while launching a new currency that's backed partially by gold so that the new currency becomes the trusted currency that doesn't suffer from the hyperinflation of the old dollar.
So that's my guess.
I don't have any inside information, and maybe that's an overly simplified view of what's going to happen, but consider that as a possibility.
I do know that gold and silver will be the off-ramps to this whole debacle.
If you hold gold and silver, you're going to be in great shape because gold is going to absolutely skyrocket in terms of dollars as more dollars are printed.
Whereas if there's a new currency launched that's backed by gold, then gold will be stable to that currency because that currency will effectively be a gold-based stable coin.
I don't mean a crypto, but a stable currency.
Tied to gold, which is what we need.
That's what we need to unleash a new golden age in our economy.
So, holding dollars is financial suicide.
Holding gold and silver is a financial rescue.
You know, it's a life raft.
That's a really good metaphor.
It's a life raft as the titanic dollar is sinking.
You're going to want a lifeboat.
And gold and silver, that's the lifeboat.
In my view, again, I'm not your financial advisor.
I always have this disclaimer, you know, do your own research, etc.
Get your own financial advice, but haven't been wrong on this.
I mean, look at what gold has done.
It's up almost 50% since January and February of 2022. You know, 50% compared to the dollar, but the dollar keeps losing value and that's only going to continue.
Especially as cuts are being made to the wasteful government jobs.
So you're just going to see an economic implosion for a while, but this is necessary.
I'm not opposed to this.
We have to slash the size of government.
It's way too big.
Way too many employees are, you know, on the government payroll.
And what are they even doing?
Are they doing anything useful?
For the most part, the answer is no.
There may be some exceptions, but for the most part, no, they're not even working.
So, you know, get them off the payrolls and slash the size of government.
And that's what's happening.
Alright, now, if you do want gold and silver, our sponsor in that space is the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
You can find them at metalswithmike.com.
And they are a trusted partner I've worked with for several years.
I am also their customer.
I buy from them.
And, you know, other people I know, every time people ask me, a friend or a family member or a co-worker, like, where should I get gold and silver?
I'm like, Treasure Island.
Just go to metalswithmike.com.
It's very simple.
You're going to find super competitive prices, a very professional staff.
They're very conservative in their recommendations.
There's no bait-and-switch nonsense involving, like, numismatic coins and things like that.
There's no weird sizes, like, here's a one-and-a-half-ounce gold coin.
No.
We want one-ounce coins that are recognized by everybody, you know?
Common coins from all the recognized mints.
And that's what they can get you.
They can put it into your hands or they can vault it for you with a reasonable vaulting fee.
So again, metalswithmike.com if you want to get some gold and silver.
Physical gold and silver really matters.
And how does the saying go, if you can't touch it, you don't own it?
Well, in most cases, that is true.
So make sure you can touch it, or if not, at least have it in a trusted vault where...
Or somebody can touch it on your behalf.
Can you go touch my gold for me?
Just make sure it's still touchable.
Anyway.
All right.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here, The Health Ranger, naturalnews.com, brighttown.com, and check out my social media accounts at brighttown.social, also brighttown.io.
That's the peer-to-peer social media, as well as Real Health Ranger on Telegram.
And where else?
Oh yeah, X. I'm also Health Ranger on X. So thank you for listening.
God bless you all.
Take care.
New product alert at the Health Ranger store.
We now carry the Triad Air Pro and the V3. These are a really unique technology air purifier.
We have these at healthrangerstore.com slash clean air.
We'll get you right to these.
These are not air filters.
They don't have a filter mechanism.
Instead, they use a photoreactive plate to produce charged particles that go out and then they help clear the air of all kinds of things, including dust particles and particulate matter and pathogens and mold spores and so much more.
I've done a full interview with Mike Dillon from this company who goes into great detail about that.
These are highly effective.
I've been using a unit for over two years in my own home.
And I absolutely love it, and I've never had to change the plate or any filter because it doesn't use filters.
So these are very convenient.
They're very effective.
You will notice the difference within 48 hours after turning this on in your home.
And we've got these available, again, right now at healthrangerstore.com with a satisfaction guarantee as well.
And these can be used to treat small spaces down from 500 square feet up to even larger spaces, like 4,500 square foot.
Just one unit will treat that entire area.
So take advantage of this technology.
Find out about it.
I've done a full interview, again, with Mike Dillon of this company, and he explains it in great detail.
You can check out that interview or you can go to our website, healthrangerstore.com slash cleanair and learn about these air purifying units and how they can help protect your health and avoid exposure to pollen and allergens and...
Toxic chemicals that might be in the smoke from fires and things like that.
There's a lot that's in the air that we don't want to be breathing right now, so this is a great way to protect yourself.
