Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the health ranger.
Alright, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, March 18th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
Let's roll the new hit single about the Epstein files called You Ain't Gonna Get It.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Where are those JFK docs?
Spend your day watching clocks.
All will still be waiting.
Is our trust mistaken?
You ain't gonna see it.
You're stupid to believe it.
You'll never see those files 'cause Deep State wearing smiles.
You ain't gonna get those Epstein files yet.
They haven't been redacted But all them still be acting All be acting All them still be
acting You ain't gonna get Those Epstein files
yet They haven't been released
Wear those JFK docs, spend your day watching clocks.
All I still be waiting, is our trust mistaken?
You ain't gonna see it, you're stupid to believe it.
You'll never see those files, cause deep state wearing smiles.
You ain't But all them still be actin' All them still be actin' All
right, so I hope you enjoyed that.
That took me all of about three minutes on suno.com, by the way.
I just thought, you know, we need to do some really funny and just kind of sassy, sarcastic little hip-hop songs about today's news.
And, you know, right now we're being promised the release of the JFK files.
Is this the third time?
The fourth time?
I'm starting to feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, you know?
Waking up and it's every day, oh, we're going to get a release?
We're going to get secret documents?
Oh my God, say it isn't so!
And then later on that day, you're like, oh, so it's all BS.
Okay.
And then, you know, you wake up another day.
Is this going to be a day?
It's got to be today, you know?
Come on, man.
This is insane.
Stop talking about it and just release all the documents.
All right, I hope you enjoyed that little tune.
That's always fun.
You can make that kind of stuff with suno.com, which is not a sponsor or anything.
I love the service.
I've become quite good at using it, and I know how to work it.
It's just great.
I created that song.
I mean, the lyrics took me like...
Okay, maybe it took me like two minutes to write those lyrics or three minutes.
And then I just popped it in to Suno and I put in a prompt, just a real simple prompt on this one.
The prompt was, for the musical style, get this, sassy, nasty, junk hip-hop with nasty female voices.
Okay, that was my prompt.
And it was perfect.
And I just spit out three songs and one of them was the one you just heard.
So that's how easy it is to create really fun parody.
Sassy, nasty music.
And if I had been thinking, I would have named the song You're Never Gonna Get It because that is a famous rap song, right?
You know the song I'm talking about.
So maybe I'll do You're Never Gonna Get It tomorrow about the Epstein files.
Who knows?
Who knows?
All right.
So here's what we have coming up today.
We've got some news about a financial situation that's unfolding.
We got an interview here with David Morgan.
For Decentralized TV.
And this is a shorter interview, which is great.
Because, you know, sometimes the day gets kind of long here with the broadcast.
Now, we're going to be talking about some pretty extraordinary financial information here.
But before I forget it, I do need to comment on what's happening with Trump ordering the military to bomb Yemen.
And, you know, Secretary of State Rubio acting like a tough guy.
We're going to keep bombing until they can bomb no more.
That would be a fun song title right there.
But here's the thing.
The reason Yemen is attacking U.S. ships is because Israel keeps bombing Gaza and Lebanon with U.S. weapons.
And Israel just basically abandoned the whole ceasefire like they always do, and I predicted it here on the show.
I said, you may have heard me say, I'm not even going to announce the ceasefire because I know Israel's going to break it.
Of course they're going to break it.
They never, they don't want a ceasefire.
So in the last 24 hours, they killed 130 plus people in Lebanon and in Gaza with more bombing campaigns because they've rearmed with U.S. weapons.
And Israel has cut off the food supply and the water supply and usually the electricity and, of course, the bandwidth to Gaza where there's still an estimated 1.5 million people.
So these are crimes against humanity that Israel is carrying out against the people of Gaza, the Palestinians.
And it is aided and funded by the United States because Trump is doing the bidding of the Zionists for the moment.
Maybe he always will.
I don't know.
But that's why Yemen is attacking U.S. ships.
So if the U.S. Navy wants to open up the Red Sea and open up the Suez Canal, it's very simple.
Stop sending bombs to Israel to keep killing civilians in Gaza, and then Yemen will stop the attacks on the ships.
It really is that simple.
But will the U.S. stop sending bombs to Israel?
I should do another song called You Ain't Never Gonna See That.
That should be the rap song.
You ain't never going to see it.
No.
Ain't never going to see it.
Right?
That's never going to happen.
So, until then, things are just going to escalate.
And I'm not going to focus on this for today's podcast.
That's not my focus.
But I just need to get this out of the way to say it's insane that Trump calls himself the peace president and he's escalating war in the Middle East.
Okay?
And this is not going to go well for the United States of America.
Not going to go well at all.
So I wish Trump would learn a lesson.
Stop funding the genocidal Zionists who just want to slaughter everybody and then take their land and take their resources and take their water.
That's the root of the problem is this ethnic supremacy.
There's the root of the problem right there.
If you treat other people with dignity...
And value all human lives, then this would not be happening.
All right, let's move on to the other topic here today, the big topic, which is financial news and information.
Now, Elon Musk was on an interview with Senator Ted Cruz.
That's our own Texas senator who's also in the pocket of Israel, of course.
But anyway, Senator Ted Cruz, just for the record, he has done a lot of positive things for Texas.
And, you know, he's pro-Second Amendment, for example.
He supports border security, etc.
I'm not 100% opposed to Ted Cruz.
I just wish that he would put America first instead of some other foreign country.
So anyway, Elon Musk was on Senator Ted Cruz's podcast.
It's called Verdict with Ted Cruz.
And Elon Musk goes on to explain that in their Doge investigation, they found that there are about 14 people
So-called magic money computers that are located mostly in the U.S. Treasury.
He calls them magic money computers because all they do is they initiate money out of thin air and then send it out to other accounts.
The thing is, these 14 computers, they don't have to have funds that they're sending from.
They just create it when they send it.
So this is a massive money laundering counterfeiting machine, as Elon Musk calls the magic money computers.
They just create money and send it out.
This tells you something important, which is the real theme for today, that the dollar is going to collapse.
And I'm going to explain here today the scenario and play a couple of clips that explains exactly why that's going to happen sooner rather than later.
And why the single most effective off-ramp from that, or I should say life raft, is gold and silver.
Which you probably already know if you've been listening to my podcast.
But let's watch this clip.
It's a little over a minute of Elon Musk with Senator Ted Cruz.
Here we go.
One of the things you told me about is what you call magic money computers.
Tell us about it, because I never heard of that until you brought that up.
You may think that the government computers all talk to each other, they synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere, and it's coherent.
And that the numbers, for example, that you're presented as a senator are actually the real numbers.
One would think.
One would think.
They're not.
I mean, they're not totally wrong, but they're probably off by 5% or 10% in some cases.
So I call a magic money computer any computer which can just make money out of thin air.
That's magic money.
So how does that work?
It just issues payments.
And you said there's something like 11 of these computers at Treasury that are sending out trillions in payments?
They're mostly at Treasury.
Some are at HHS, some at one or two at State.
There's some at DoD.
I think we found now 14 magic money computers.
14, okay.
They just send money out of nothing.
All right, so related to this, we're going to jump into another video from a woman on X called the Vino Mom.
Tiffany Chianchi?
Chianchi, maybe?
I'm sorry, I don't...
I don't...
I don't know how to pronounce her name.
Anyway.
She appears to have a background in finance, and she has nailed down something that's actually really right on the money that I've been wanting to talk about here, which is really the Big Short 2.0.
So let me share this video with you, at least just a couple minutes of it, and then I'm going to explain it in the clearest way I can about what's coming, why there's going to be massive money printing.
Trillions upon trillions of dollars will be printed soon.
Wipe out the value of the dollar.
The dollar's headed towards zero, and gold and silver are headed, you know, who knows where, sky high in dollars, because, of course, dollars are collapsing.
But check out this video from The Vino Mom, V-I-N-O, because I guess she likes wine, maybe?
The Vino Mom?
Check it out.
Last night, I started off by researching Hooters getting bankrupted by private equity and ended up uncovering the next 2008 level economic collapse.
And they're hiding the bubble inside a private equity black box that makes it almost impossible to see what they're doing.
Almost.
This time, they're not going to collapse the banks and make it too big to fail.
They're going to bankrupt the entire American pension system.
I'm almost too afraid to make this video, but it has to be done.
So let's get into it.
In 2008, investors and bankers were able to crash the world's economy by engaging in risky, unethical bets and investments, and they did it right out in the open.
They've learned, and this time they're doing it again.
Bigger investments, bigger risks, same playbook.
But they're doing it behind the smokescreen of private equity in bigger numbers.
They're creating a bigger bubble than before, and it's not somewhere down the road.
It's here, and it's about to pop.
You see, for the last month, I've been trying to figure out why these companies that private equity had acquired were failing even though they were still succeeding.
Joann's, 97% of their stores are still profitable, and yet they're still bankrupt.
But they weren't bankrupt a year ago, and they still had the debt that private equity had stacked on them a year ago.
So I wanted to know what changed.
The same thing with Hooters.
The same thing with...
Now, in 2024, private equity bankrupted 110 businesses.
And that was almost double their previous record.
There had been huge increases in the amount of bankruptcies each year over the past three years.
But I didn't know what had changed because private equity had held many of these businesses for several years and they were still succeeding.
Until I got my hands on an economic report and an article and found a term that nobody could explain to me.
The term was back floating rate loans.
I didn't know what that meant and no article would explain it to me.
So I had to go and do research in the financial prospectuses of a bunch of financial investment firms.
Guys, in the last few years, private equity has taken out $3.8 trillion in adjustable rate loans.
These are adjustable rate loans.
These private equity firms took out adjustable rate loans.
And so for the last three years, as our interest rates have gone up every 30 to 60 days, the money due on the loans they stacked on top of these companies has gone up every 30 to 60 days.
That's why these successful companies that private equity had acquired are suddenly bankrupt, even though they're still making money.
They're bankrupt because they're paying adjustable rate loans.
But it doesn't stop there.
It gets so much worse because my next question is why are the banks willing to give these risky loans to these private equity firms knowing it's going to cause them to fail?
And the answer is because the banks aren't going to keep them on their books.
The banks are immediately repackaging these adjustable rate loans as something called CLOs, right?
Which are then packaged and sold off to our pension funds as really great debt.
And they tell them that it's a diversified portfolio.
Are you hearing the big short in real time?
Literally, all of these companies are getting bankrupted in greater and greater numbers.
And all of this debt is adjustable rate.
And all of the bankruptcies are skyrocketing in this direction.
If you look at this graph, you can see that aside from 2020, which is obviously an anomaly.
Right now, private equity, that's the yellow section, has double the highest number of bankruptcies they'd ever had prior to last year.
And that number is climbing this year.
$3.8 trillion.
$3.8 trillion in this debt.
Okay?
I want you to look back to 2008.
Do you want to know how many risky adjustable rate mortgages there were?
$1.1 trillion.
Do you want to know how many...
Subprime, but not quite as bad loans there were.
$1.3 trillion.
That was just in housing.
In the $3.8 trillion held by private equity, they own the largest shares of the home ownership market in the United States.
But they also own the daycares.
They own the veterinary clinics.
They own the pet stores.
They own the nursing homes.
They own the emergency rooms.
They own the doctor's offices, the orthodontists.
They own the...
The builders, they own the HVAC companies.
This isn't just housing.
It's going to touch every single industry around us.
And that is why, if this were a free market and private equity had not exploitatively gotten involved, if we had a free market and we could see what they were doing, these companies would be succeeding.
If this were actually a free market, these companies would be succeeding.
Joann's has 97% of their stores profitable.
That is an astronomical number.
97% of a retail store is profitable.
And they are failing and they are closing every store.
And it is further consolidating an already consolidated environment.
And now there are thousands and thousands of employees that will not have jobs.
And there are thousands of other businesses that are going through the exact same thing right now.
And why?
Because they know we will never allow the banks to be bailed out again.
Okay, I'm going to jump in here.
Although she's doing an excellent job of explaining this.
Two thumbs up to the vino mom there.
She's doing a great job on this.
But let me restate it because sometimes it takes a bit of summarization to get your head around this.
All right, so you recall back in the subprime mortgage collapse of 2008.
What happened then was that banks were loaning money to home buyers who did not qualify and could not pay their home loans.
And those loans were called ninja loans.
No income, no job applications, right?
Ninja.
N-I-N-J-A, right?
No income, no job.
Ninja loans.
And then the banks, this was a massive coordinated fraud by the banks.
They knew that these people couldn't pay back these loans, so these banks had to sell these loans off to somebody else.
But in order to do that, what they did is, logically, they sliced and diced the loans and they packaged...
Like slices of a bunch of different loans, like thousands of different home loans.
They sliced them up and packaged them all together into a kind of a hodgepodge of loans that they then claimed was diversified.
Because even though they were all bad loans, the badness was diversified across a lot of different buyers who could not afford their homes.
Now, you and I might say, well, that's crazy.
Those loans are still bad.
Yeah, but they're diversified.
So the ratings agencies gave them a triple plus credit rating because they're, quote, diversified.
Of course, the ratings agencies get paid by the banks to produce whatever ratings that they want.
That's a whole big scam, right?
And go back and watch the movie The Big Short if you want a nice overview of this.
That's one of my favorite movies of all time.
All right, so then...
The banks then, they sold off these tranches of what were called CDOs, collateralized debt obligations, okay?
CDOs.
And they sold them to hedge funds and other banks and family investment houses and whatever.
And some pension funds, you know, you name it.
CDOs, okay?
And then some banks even took a bunch of CDOs and sliced those up and diced them up and repackaged those.
And they called them CDOs of CDOs or CDOs squared.
And they sold those too.
And those were A-plus, triple-plus credit rating tranches.
When that whole system fell apart in 2008, it very nearly crashed the entire U.S. economy.
Remember that?
So the government came along and bailed out all the big banks.
Goldman Sachs, right?
Oh, they let Bear Stearns fail, but they bailed out Bank of America and J.P. Morgan and, you know, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and all that stuff.
They bailed everybody out by printing trillions of dollars.
Remember that?
Or I guess they printed roughly about a trillion.
I forgot the exact number.
And nobody went to jail.
Nobody went to jail.
Nobody got prosecuted.
Nobody got even investigated.
It was just, here, have a bunch of free money because you're the banks.
And even though you almost destroyed the entire U.S. economy, and even though you're all a bunch of criminals, we still need you.
So we're going to bail you out.
All right, that's 2008.
So what the vino mom is explaining now is that here we are in 2025, nothing has changed.
Except now the scam has gone into the private equity firms that took out $3.8 trillion in loans.
On adjustable rate loans.
Adjustable rates, okay?
And then those private equity firms which own the retailers and own your local shops, as she was saying, they own your local veterinarian, they own all your local shops and your local dentist, whatever, and all the retail chains and the restaurant chains and everything.
These are private equity firms.
They have to make...
Obviously loan payments on this $3.8 trillion in loans.
Well, the banks that loaned them this money, they knew that these being adjustable rate loans, they knew that these loans would blow up one day as interest rates began to rise, which is what's happening.
So the banks that provided these loans, they didn't keep the loans on their books.
They sliced them and diced them and packaged them up and sold them off.
As CLOs.
These are called collateralized loan obligations.
Sound familiar?
It's like a CDO with an L. It's the same concept.
You just take a bunch of really bad loans that you know are going to blow up in your face and you just mix them up all together in a blender, repackage them, and you get an A++ credit rating.
And guess who has been buying these CLOs?
The pension funds.
Pension funds, okay?
So a CLO, if you look it up, it says, a CLO is a financial instrument that allows investors to purchase an interest in a diversified portfolio of company loans.
Yeah, take that term, diversified portfolio, as like mix and match financial trash.
You know, it's just all the bad loans chopped up and blended up and repackaged like spam, you know?
That's a diversified portfolio.
And it says here, it often includes loans to private equity firms.
These loans are typically of lower credit quality and are pooled together to create a single security, which is then sold to investors in different tranches.
There's that word, that lovely word.
Would you like a tranche?
Offering various risk-reward profiles.
In other words, they're all crap.
They're all crap, and if you buy these things, you're an idiot.
That's what the pension funds have been doing all across the country.
So the states have pension funds, cities have pension funds, and there are various federal pension funds, and there are various private corporation pension funds.
They've all been buying up these CLOs, and it's all about to blow up because the massive bankruptcies of the retailers has begun.
And it's only going to accelerate.
If interest rates tick up another half a point, oh my goodness, there's going to be more of these blow up.
There's going to be a collapse in the CLOs, which is going to collapse the pension funds.
Now this is going to cause all the people who are collecting those pensions to freak the bleep out.
And they're going to call for a bailout.
And they're going to get a bailout.
They're going to get a bailout.
You know why?
Because President Trump has no choice.
He can't let all those people who have pension funds that have collapsed, he can't let them starve in the streets, especially since half of them used to be government workers.
So he's going to have to, and Trump didn't create this problem, just to be clear, but he stepped into it now.
He's going to have to print probably somewhere like Four or even more trillions of dollars to bail out the pension funds.
So imagine just printing four trillion dollars.
How do you do that?
Well, as Elon Musk said earlier, you have magic money computers.
You can just put a four followed by like 12 zeros or whatever the right number of zeros is and just hit send, you know?
Oh, wow.
Magically, we have four trillion dollars.
Amazing.
So this $4 trillion is going to flood the money supply, obviously, because anytime they print counterfeit currency like this, you know, it causes inflation in the price of goods and deflation in the value,
or I should say devaluing the dollar itself.
So if you suddenly create another $4 trillion, This is going to be another repeat of kind of what happened during 2020 with the COVID situation where they just mass created trillions of dollars and just mailed out stimulus debit cards with free money on them to everybody just to try to save the economy.
Remember that?
And what did that cause?
Cause price inflation that you've been seeing ever since.
Yeah.
Try to buy meat at the grocery store.
You know what I'm talking about.
So when the Trump administration has to print, $4 trillion, if not more, because there are also derivatives behind this, and this could blow up even bigger than $4 trillion, then this is going to just flood the money supply,
and it's going to really crash the purchasing power of the dollar.
And when this happens, then, of course, everybody who's got assets in dollars is going to lose even more of the value of those dollars.
They might lose another 50%.
You know, because retail prices might double.
Or maybe they lose 30% or 20%.
I don't know the actual number, but it's going to be dramatic.
And what does that mean for gold?
Well, if the dollars lose half their value and gold is $3,000 an ounce right now, then gold will be $6,000 an ounce.
Because you'll need twice as many dollars to purchase the same ounce of gold, right?
So could gold go to $6,000 an ounce?
It is a certainty.
Sooner or later, we don't know when, but at some point, gold will go to $6,000.
At some point, it'll go to $10,000 an ounce or even higher.
It's not that gold's gaining value.
It's that dollars are losing value.
So yeah, that's going to happen.
So what does this mean is coming?
We're talking about an economic implosion that's going to result in mass bankruptcies, mass joblessness, and then a mass bailout Destroy whatever remaining value of the dollar there is, or a lot of it anyway.
It won't send the dollar to zero instantly, but it will erode it dramatically.
It's just going to lead to even more price inflation because of the falling value of the dollar.
So that's coming.
And what are the off-ramps?
It's simple.
It's land and gold and silver for the most part.
Some people want to do some crypto.
Which is fine, you know, if you can handle all the volatility and the risk and all the technical challenges, etc.
But what I like about gold is that it's low-tech.
It's so low-tech, you know, it existed before humans existed.
It's been around since the beginning of exploding stars.
It's super easy to use.
It has built-in scarcity, built-in beauty, you know, all these things.
You don't need a password to access it.
It doesn't require software, electricity, or updates.
Does it require a mobile computing device?
You know, gold is gold, and it's going to outlast all of this.
So, of course, I'm going to recommend our sponsor in this space, given the severity of this situation.
Look, if you don't have some level of gold and silver in your vault or your storage, or maybe you're vaulting it with somebody else or storing it yourself, if you don't have some level of gold and silver, I would say you don't have financial insurance against the collapse of the dollar.
It's critical to have some reasonable amount, if not reasonable plus.
The more, the better.
Obviously, it's better to have more, but don't take this as financial advice.
Get your own advisor, do your own research, etc.
But when you're ready to get more gold and silver, contact our sponsor in this space, the Treasure Island Coins and Precious Metals Company.
And you can reach them at metalswithmike.com.
And they are professionals, and they are discreet, and they are well-informed, and they've been in this business.
Well, it's a family business, so it's been a couple of generations.
They know what they're doing.
They've got vaults and vaulting services and IRS-compatible IRAs with metals in them and all kinds of things like that.
Or they can just ship you gold and silver of your choice from whatever mint.
You want.
And if you ask me, what do I get?
At this point, I don't even bother buying U.S. gold eagles or U.S. minted silver coins.
I'm happy with gold or silver from other recognized world mints, which can be, you know, like kangaroos or buffaloes or Krugerrands or what have you.
There's several different mints around the world.
But get some physical gold and silver, you know, stored away here.
Before all of this happens, whatever it's going to be, and then you'll be able to ride through this with your assets mostly intact.
Now, all of us are going to lose some amount of money.
Whatever we have in the bank is going to lose value.
You know, whatever we have in dollars, whatever you have if you're sitting on some cash for some reason, it's going to lose value.
You should spend it before it keeps dropping.
And that's what happens during hyperinflation.
Everybody's in a hurry to get rid of their dollars before they drop even more.
Like Weimar Germany, the prices were updated daily, so if you got paid, you had to run around town and spend it quickly before they updated all the prices on the chalkboards.
So it's not that bad yet in the U.S. It may never get that bad, but it's going to get bad.
It's going to get bad.
And this is all being, I think, accelerated by the deep state in order to try to punish Trump.
I mean, it was going to happen anyway, but they want to make it as bad as possible.
And then when this collapse happens, they'll say, see, it's Trump's fault, even though it's actually not Trump's fault.
It's financial fraud.
I mean, it's banking fraud.
Why would you even let...
All of these private equity funds take out these loans that you know are going to blow up at some point.
Same thing with the subprime mortgage collapse.
So anyway, this is going to be the big short 2.0, or maybe the bigger short, or the big, big short, the very big short.
It's going to be something, let me tell you.
And this time, it's not just a trillion dollars on the line.
It's at least $4 trillion and probably so much more.
All right, so this is the perfect time, by the way, to play the first BrightLearn.ai book video for you today.
This book is called Government, the Biggest Scam in History.
It's by Etienne de la Boetie, I think maybe is how you pronounce that.
Check out this book video.
It's only about four minutes, so it's on the shorter side, but it's very powerful.
Good illustrations.
Powerful message, and this is really applicable to what we're talking about right now, because big government is going to collapse also, which doesn't always lead to good things.
It's not a joyous moment for the people who suffer, but it is inevitable because of all the corruption and fraud and overreach of big government with all the money-printing fraud.
Magic money, computers!
Well, it's all going to collapse.
So check out this book video.
to learn more.
They're victims.
And to those brave souls who are speaking up and fighting back.
It's a powerful statement that sets the tone for the entire book.
Bwedi is not just criticizing the system.
He's honoring those who have suffered under it and those who are brave enough to challenge it.
The book's executive summary argues that government isn't designed to protect life, liberty, and property.
Instead, it's a system used by intergenerational organized crime to rob and control societies.
This is a bold claim, but Buedi backs it up with a detailed analysis of how we've been indoctrinated from birth through mandatory government schools, controlled private school curriculums, scouting, military and or police training, and a propaganda system that gives the illusion of choice and diversity of opinion.
He points out that the only reason we believe government is legitimate, desirable or necessary is because we've been conditioned to think so.
But what if we've been lied to?
What if the world could be better organized through voluntary interactions, free markets, and genuine charity?
Now here's the good news.
Buddy believes that we are not defined by the geographical area we were born in.
We are free, sentient human beings who don't owe our income or allegiance to any organized crime system.
He argues that the world is a self-organizing system that produces spontaneous order and all the legitimate functions that government performs.
This is a paradigm shift.
It's the idea that we don't need rulers to have a functioning society.
We can achieve real freedom through voluntarism, where no one has the ring of power and no one uses violence or extortion on anyone else.
Buedi goes on to explain the various mechanisms of control that governments use to maintain their power.
From indoctrination techniques in schools to the glorification of the military and police, he paints a picture of a system, He also highlights the role of propaganda and the control of media, showing how six monopoly media companies run hundreds of subsidiaries to shape our perception of reality.
But Buetti doesn't just leave us with a bleak picture.
He offers solutions.
He encourages us to free our minds from the indoctrination we've been subjected to, and to start freeing others.
He believes that if we can free just five people, we can start a chain reaction that leads to real freedom for all.
He also provides practical tips like buying local, taking back and privatizing the government school system, and using freedom apps, blockchain, and crypto projects for digital liberty.
These are actionable steps that we can all take to start making a difference.
In conclusion, Government, the biggest scam in history, Exposed, is more than just a book.
It's a manifesto for freedom, a guide for those who are tired of being robbed, threatened, and harmed by self-imposed authorities.

And breaking news on critical stories that keep you informed and aware of what's really going on.
All right, now I've got a special report for you about the corruption and fraud under the Biden administration.
And this report is entitled, The Biden Autopen Scandal Means His Entire Term Is Now Null and Void.
And no, that's not the name of a law firm.
Mr. Null and Mr. Void.
No, Null and Void is, that describes the Biden administration.
The whole thing was a fraud.
Check out this special report and then we'll continue on the other side.
So Trump issued a statement saying that the auto pen signing of the preemptive pardons by Joe Biden is null and void.
And it's null and void will not be recognized by the Trump administration.
This is sure to create a crisis that will get this heard by the Supreme Court, which is exactly what needs to happen.
But Trump's reasoning is sound.
It's that Joe Biden did not sign these pardons with his own hand and also, importantly, was not aware.
He didn't give the order to have them signed.
He wasn't in a state of mind to even grant authority to have an auto pen sign the documents.
That's why almost everything signed during the Biden administration was signed by the auto pen, which simply counterfeits Joe Biden's signature.
Now, the real question is who controlled the auto pen?
And it's almost certainly Jill Biden.
Jill Biden was not elected.
And actually, Joe Biden wasn't elected either.
And we'll get to that in a second.
But if Trump is going to argue that the auto pen signature on the pardons is null and void because it was an auto pen signature that Biden wasn't even aware of, then...
That same logic has to apply to everything that Joe Biden signed.
In fact, there's only one document that can be traced to being signed by Joe Biden himself with his own hand, and that's the document that says that he's bowing out of the race and will not run again.
That's the only one he signed.
Everything else was auto-pen signed at someone else's command.
Someone who was not the president.
Someone who was not elected.
So, think about it, folks.
This means that Trump has taken the first step towards invalidating the entire Biden administration.
Which, of course, that whole administration was fraudulent to begin with.
I mean, they rigged the 2020 election.
They cheated through numerous means that have now become public.
And on top of that, Joe Biden had a fake White House set.
A soundstage.
That he was broadcasting from, reading teleprompters.
Who knows if he ever had a single thought of his own?
He was a puppet controlled by the people around him who were not elected president.
Thus, that and the fact that the 2020 election was rigged, it really does invalidate the entire Biden administration.
As a result, every law that Biden supposedly signed has to be rolled back.
And every federal judge appointment has to be reversed.
None of those judges actually got appointed.
None of those laws actually got signed by the president.
It's all a giant counterfeit hoax.
Just like the dollar.
You know, like they print dollars and they figure, well, we can just print Joe Biden's signature.
And they did.
They got away with it this entire time.
This entire time.
But it's all a fraud, and the Democrats know it's a fraud.
After all, they committed the fraud.
They stole the election.
They rigged everything themselves.
In order to destroy America, and they were trying to create a one-party system, a power monopoly, and that's why they inflicted lawfare against Trump to try to shut him down.
That's why they accelerated censorship to shut down people's free speech.
It's also why they jailed the J-6 prisoners for so many years to keep them silent and make sure they couldn't speak out.
And it's why they ran the USAID slush fund operation to keep funneling money to their own propaganda NGOs, which were involved in things like providing financial aid to the border invaders to have a massive invasion of the United States in order to destroy it.
So understand that the Democrats are traitors.
They committed treason, not only in rigging the election, but in then abusing that power to invade and overrun and destroy the United States.
All the while they claimed to be defending democracy.
You know, what nonsense.
They were deliberately dismantling democracy.
Because they don't even believe in the First Amendment or the Second Amendment or the Fourth Amendment or the Fifth Amendment or the Tenth Amendment for that matter.
And a whole lot of other amendments.
The Eighth, the Fourteenth, etc.
So, look.
We are living in a nation where we have just emerged from four years of outright enemy occupation of Washington, D.C. An actual occupying enemy force took over Washington,
D.C. and used the power there to try to completely destroy this republic.
And they very nearly succeeded.
And remember, big tech went along with them.
And that's why I say at this point, it is time for the mass arrests to begin.
It's time for Trump to expand this recent comment about the preemptive pardons being null and void.
Which is true.
He should expand that and say, well, you know what?
Everything signed by Autopen is null and void because Biden wasn't there.
Biden wasn't home.
I mean, he didn't have the cognitive faculties to be able to even have the clear-headed intention of signing such documents.
It's all null and void.
Roll it all back, including every executive order that Joe Biden signed.
And then, just as importantly, Prosecute all of those who were preemptively pardoned by Joe Biden.
They were pardoned because they're criminals.
They are criminals.
All the investigative committee members, Liz Cheney and the rest of them, Adam Schiff and I don't know who else was pardoned, a bunch of deep state actors.
Prosecute them all.
And the American people are running out of patience waiting for some prosecutions.
It's time to prosecute Fauci for his crimes against humanity.
It's time to prosecute the deep state traitors, the intelligence community traitors, those officials who conspired to try to claim that Trump was run by Russia.
You know, the Russia collusion hoax.
All the engineers of that, the architects of it, they need to be prosecuted.
And I don't mean like small slap on the wrist prosecutions.
There are probably thousands of people from the Biden administration that need to be charged with treason.
And that would include sanctuary city mayors and sanctuary state governors that deliberately scoffed at immigration law and said that they would conspire with illegals,
many of whom are violent gangs or gang members, to protect them.
Well, in a time of invasion, and Trump has already declared the narcos to be a foreign terrorist organization, well, all these governors and mayors that are Democrats who took part in this, they aided and abetted a foreign terrorist organization.
So, in other words, they're complicit in terrorism.
They're complicit in treason.
So, when are they going to be prosecuted?
And what...
Trump hopefully needs to understand, and I think a lot of his supporters understand this, is that if you don't prosecute and imprison these people, they will find a way to come around and try it again.
They will rig the midterms.
They still have voting machines.
They know how to rig it.
They can still pay off judges, as they always do.
They've got all that slush fund money, which came from USAID.
They are nowhere near defeated right now.
They're just stumbling at the moment.
They are not defeated.
To defeat them, you've got to prosecute them.
And that needs to happen now.
Now, Dan Bongino was just sworn in as the deputy director of the FBI.
That actually gives him a tremendous amount of executive power within the FBI to make decisions about who to investigate.
Who would recommend charges against via the DOJ, for example?
Well, Dan Bongino just got sworn in, right?
So we've got to have some patience with his process.
But Dan Bongino, he knows where the bodies are buried.
He knows exactly who's guilty in all of this, or at least who is highly suspicious and needs to be investigated.
I mean, as the deputy director of the FBI, he can't pre-conclude that people are guilty.
But he can exercise his power of investigation.
And that's exactly what he needs to do.
And then let the DOJ determine if there's enough evidence to prosecute.
And if that's the case, then let a jury determine if there's enough evidence to convict.
But that needs to start happening immediately.
And Kash Patel, the director of the FBI now, he's in the same boat.
Block Kash Patel, and they're trying to block Dan Bongino.
They're trying to block Pam Bondi.
Of course they are.
So the work isn't going to be easy here.
For those three I mentioned, Patel, Bongino, and Bondi, they're going to have to really work hard.
They're going to have to learn the ropes, because these are new jobs, obviously, for all of them.
They're going to have to find a way to apply the law and apply their authority.
In these roles.
And if they don't achieve convictions of some of the guilty people, there's got to be a point in time where the MAGA movement loses faith and loses momentum.
So it's critical that they keep prosecutions going right now, but also, when you prosecute somebody, you better have your ducks in a row, right?
You've got to have enough evidence that it's conclusive.
So you don't want a half-ass prosecution.
Where the perp gets off on some technicality.
So these things take time to do correctly.
I suppose what I'm saying here is, you know, I'm not with the camp that you see on Twitter that is saying, we were all tricked, you know, we were all fooled.
Trump is no different than anybody else.
There'll be no prosecutions.
I'm not in that camp.
Although, given enough time...
I would probably lean toward that camp.
If we don't start to get arrests, I would naturally move in that direction.
But I'm not in that camp at this moment.
I'm in the let's have some patience camp.
Because I understand that big government is insanely complex.
And I understand that there's resistance throughout every level of the system.
This is going to take time.
And it's true with RFK Jr. at HHS.
It's going to take time to achieve real reforms.
And you saw how the Senate is pushing back.
They did not approve Weldon for CDC.
Why?
Because they don't like what Weldon said years ago about vaccine dangers.
So the Senate is totally run by Big Pharma, including a couple of prominent conservative senators as well.
Totally run by Big Pharma.
And that means that RFK Jr. is going to have to maneuver in a very clever way to get anything done.
And how is it that the drug companies can buy off the Senate anyway?
Why is that even legal?
Lobbying and all these PACs and everything, it's crazy.
But that's the system in which we live.
So let's all just have a little bit of time in watching this unfold.
I don't have unlimited patience, and I know you don't either, but this is just getting started, so have a little bit more patience, and hopefully we'll start to see some real traction and even some prosecutions.
And I will say to Trump and Pam Bondi, if you don't prosecute some of these traitors, like Fauci in particular, then your administration will, I mean, the credibility of your administration will collapse.
You have to prosecute Fauci.
You have to prosecute these traitors if you want the voters to ever trust you again.
So, thank you for listening.

God bless America.
Take care.
All right, now we're going to go a little deeper down the rabbit hole with the second book video today.
Oh, this is going to hit hard.
This tells you the real role of government in our modern world.
It's called Project Human Extinction, The Ultimate Conspiracy.
And it's by authors Chris Thomas and Dave Morgan.
Yeah, what is it about?
Well, it's about the globalists working to exterminate the human race.
So, check out this book video and then we'll continue on the other side.
Project Human Extinction The Ultimate Conspiracy by Chris Thomas with Dave Morgan will challenge everything you thought you knew about power, control, and the forces that shape our reality.
We're talking about the Illuminati.
A term that conjures images of secret societies and global domination.
But what if I told you that the truth is far more complex and intriguing than any conspiracy theory you've heard before?
Buckle up, because we're about to uncover the real story behind the Illuminati and the hidden forces that have been influencing humanity for centuries.
Let's start at the beginning.
The word Illuminati literally means the Enlightened Ones.
And it refers to a group that emerged in the late 18th century.
The Bavarian Illuminati, founded by Adam Weishaupt in 1776, was a secret society with the goal of replacing traditional religious and monarchical authority with rationalism and secularism.
But here's where things get interesting.
The Illuminati we hear about today is not the same as the historical group.
The modern Illuminati is a concept that has evolved over time, blending elements of the original society with new ideas and agendas.
Many people believe that the Illuminati is a shadowy organization controlling world events from behind the scenes.
But what if the truth is that the Illuminati is not just a single group, but rather a network of interconnected organizations and individuals All working toward a common goal of global control.
This network includes secret societies like the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, and even some elements within governments and multinational corporations.
To understand the Illuminati's agenda, we need to look at the bigger picture.
According to some sources, including the Akashic Records, there is a human plan that has been in motion for thousands of years.
This plan is about humanity's journey toward enlightenment and the reintegration of the soul into the physical body.
But there's a catch.
This plan has been deliberately obscured and manipulated by those who seek to control humanity.
The tables of testimony are said to contain the knowledge of the human plan, and they have been the subject of much intrigue and controversy.
Some groups, like the Knights Templar and the Cathars, have attempted to disseminate this knowledge only to be met with fierce opposition and persecution.
The Catholic Church, in particular, has played a significant role in suppressing these teachings, often labeling them as heresy and using fear and violence to maintain control.
Now, here's where things take a turn toward the extraordinary.
According to some researchers, the modern Illuminati is not just a human organization.
It is believed to be influenced, if not outright controlled, by a non-human entity or race known as the Vellon.
The Vellon are described as a semi-physical race with advanced technology and a desire to claim Earth as their own.
They are said to have been manipulating events on Earth for centuries.
Using their influence to steer humanity toward a future that serves their interests.
This is where the concept of ascension comes into play.
The Velen have been promoting the idea of ascension as a way to mislead people into believing that they will be leaving Earth for higher dimensions.
In reality, this is a ploy to facilitate the removal of humans from the planet, paving the way for the Velen to take control.
The Illuminati's influence extends far beyond secret societies.
It permeates modern institutions, including governments, financial systems, and even educational systems.
For example, the Federal Reserve, often criticized as a tool of the Illuminati, was established in 1913, transferring the power to create money from the government to a private group of bankers.
This move has had profound implications for global finance, and has been a key element in the Illuminati's control over the world's economy.
Similarly, the United Nations and other international organizations are seen by some as fronts for the Illuminati's agenda of global governance.
The push for a New World Order is often cited as evidence of this agenda, with initiatives like Agenda 21, and the now destroyed Georgia Guidestones outlining plans for population control and the redistribution of resources.
So, what can we do in the face of such overwhelming influence?
The key lies in awareness and choice.
Understanding the true nature of the forces at play empowers us to make informed decisions about our lives and our future.
We must question the narratives presented to us by mainstream media and institutions, and seek out alternative sources of information.
Ultimately, the human plan is about freedom of choice and the reintegration of the soul.
By embracing this journey, and resisting the attempts to control and manipulate us, we can reclaim our power and work toward a future that aligns with our true purpose.

All right, I've got...
now I've got...
One more special report for you before we go to our interview today with David Morgan, the silver guru, and it's a perfect time to have him as a guest because of the financial crisis that we described earlier,
what's happening with the CLOs.
The CLOs are like the CDOs, but they're loans, not debt, but loans are debt.
I mean, it's all the same thing.
It's just the same scam repackaged under a whole new thing.
So, first, a special report here called Your Bioneural Network is Being Hacked and Jacked Every Day.
And this special report is about trying to urge you to be very careful what you allow into your head in terms of information, language, knowledge, you know, all that.
You have to practice detox and self-defense to defend your neurology against being hacked and jacked every day.
So check out that special report.
And after that, we'll have today's interview.
You have a giant neural network in your skull.
You have another neural network also in your gut, too.
There's the so-called second brain, but here I'm focused on your primary neural network.
Now, neural networks have a very curious thing about them, is that they are modified by inputs.
So your inputs are sensory inputs.
As you were living your life, you know, from the moment, well, even before you were born, you already had some sensory input there.
But especially from when you were born, you started to have a whole new world of sensory inputs and touch and taste and sounds and sights, you know, all these things.
And this all began to shape your neural network.
And a lot of childhood is simply training your neural network to function properly.
For example, learning to walk.
What is it that you're doing when you are learning to walk?
I was an early walker.
I started walking at six months of age, which I'm told is kind of unusual.
But learning to walk is a process of trying stuff and failing over and over again and then refining and shaping your...
Muscle control until you get the response that you want.
So this is called self-reinforcement learning.
And learning to walk is just like that.
And so that's how we all learn to walk is we made a bunch of mistakes and we fell down.
And fortunately, when you're young like that, you're really small.
And you bounce, you know, so you fall on your face, you boom, and you know, you're like, this is funny.
You fall on your butt, you fall on your face.
But you don't have very far to fall because you're not that big yet, so it's all fine.
And everything's flexible anyway.
So you don't really do much damage falling as a child.
And that's a good thing because you have to fall a lot to get things done.
Now, then speaking is the same process.
Learning to speak.
First, you hear other people speaking.
And then...
There's something that's built in to the human brain which translates the intention to speak into certain kind of sounds.
And then you, as a baby, you try to mimic those sounds.
And that's why some of the first sounds that babies ever make appear to be the words like mama or papa.
It's simply because moving your lips and going ah produces Those syllables.
It's just like over and over again.
Oh, he said papa!
Not really.
He's still trying to work his lips.
But that's okay if it sounded like papa or sounded like mama.
That's great.
But anyway, over time, with this feedback mechanism, the child learns to speak.
And then learns structure, grammar.
Pronunciation, etc.
And when there's a disconnect in this, either an inability to hear well because some children are hearing impaired, then they will tend to speak with a lisp or some kind of speaking disability.
It's not that they don't have the neurology, it's that they don't have the proper feedback loop because they can't hear themselves making certain sounds.
For example, S sounds.
That sound, the S sound, is a really difficult sound because it's mostly very high frequencies.
You know, different from like D or F or, you know, or even T or M or N or whatever, but S, that S, the sizzle in the S is a high-pitched sound.
Now, if you are hearing impaired and you can't hear high frequencies, you'll never hear The S. And you'll wonder, like, what's the silent space in all the words?
Or you wouldn't call it a silent space.
You would call it an island pace, you know, because you're like, there's no S in there.
So that explains a lot of speech disabilities.
It's, you know, hearing impairment, obviously.
But for those who are able to hear the full sound spectrum, which for most humans goes up to something like 16 kilohertz.
Sometimes higher in some people.
But, you know, if you can hear from, you know, 50 hertz to like 16 kilohertz, you can hear all of human speech, right?
You're fine.
Well, then your brain is getting this feedback loop and you are trying to speak and you are getting feedback and you are learning how to use your lips and your tongue and everything.
And by the time you're age, I don't know, whatever, five or six, you know, you can speak.
You can't yet think.
But you can speak.
You can parrot speaking.
You can say things that are your intention.
Like, I want food, you know?
I'm hungry.
Or as a child, I gotta go potty or whatever.
So you can kind of emote some things you are experiencing, but you're not yet developed enough to engage in reason or in critical thinking about anything.
Now, critical thinking skills...
For most adults, don't really achieve full development until about age 25. And that's why Democrats always want to lower the voting age so they can reach down into the younger and younger voters who are less capable of reasoning and more subject to propaganda,
non-critical thinking, just parroting everything.
So Democrats would love for 10-year-olds to vote because 10-year-olds are not fully developed.
Brain-wise, and that's what Democrats want, is, you know, not developed brains.
Because if your brain is developed and you can think critically, then you're going to reject the failed policies of the radical left.
But if you're still highly suggestible and not that smart yet, can't really think yet, and you're subject to peer pressure, well, that's where the Democrats have you.
And they'll have a big movement, like they did for the whole LGBT delusion, which is just mass mental illness, of course.
But they pushed LGBT through young people.
Young people who can't critically think.
And who were able to be convinced that, yeah, men can have babies.
Yeah, of course they can.
Why couldn't they?
And a lot of young people actually believe that.
But by the time most of us get to age 25, or for some of us, long before that, and some it takes long after that, but you should be able to think critically.
But here's the thing.
Your neural network is continuing to be influenced by your inputs.
So even though you may not be producing as many new brain cells as when you were a child, even though, by the way, the hippocampus continues to build new brain cells through your entire life.
So you do have new neurology every day.
But even the parts of your brain that are not growing new nerve cells or brain cells, They can still be shaped through the training of the interactions between those brain cells.
And in AI and in language models, this is also known as domain adaptation or sometimes fine-tuning or continuous pre-training, things like that.
What it means is you're taking the database that's already there, which would be all the brain cells, Updating the relationships between them, or what are called the vectors in AI.
And by updating these vectors, you can impart new knowledge into the system.
This is happening to you all the time.
Everything that you allow into your system is reshaping your brain, and it's reshaping your knowledge.
And my point of this podcast is that your neurology is being altered without your consent.
All the time.
Through other people's speech, through content, through radio programming like NPR, television, you know, CNN.
Of course, you know it's propaganda, but you may not realize it's literally reshaping your neurology without your consent.
Just the fact that your brain processes language means that when you hear a statement, such as a statement like, oh, let's say...
You know, Joe Biden was the most popular president ever, okay?
Even though that's nonsense, he wasn't even ever elected president.
The whole thing was a fraud.
But in order to understand the sentence that you heard, your brain has to process it, and it has to think through the statements that are being said, even at a subconscious level.
So your brain is processing this idea that Joe Biden was the most popular president ever.
Lives in your brain, even if you are able to consciously refute it.
There's a subconscious element of that that is still there.
So my point here is that just as you need to read the ingredients labels on foods and avoid foods that contain toxic ingredients, you need to avoid information sources that contain toxic information.
That would be, of course, the entire mainstream media, mainstream TV.
Daytime TV as well, and broadcast network news programs, and all that kind of nonsense.
And most of what comes out of Hollywood, too.
You know, all the LGBT woke-ism that's in the movies.
Why do you think they always have characters that are lesbians and transgenders now?
It's because that's the programming.
Because your brain then begins to accept that as normal if it's in every show, every movie, which it is.
There's always a lesbian couple or a gay couple.
There's always a black and white couple for whatever reason.
Have you noticed that?
All the couples in the movies now is one black person and one white person.
And this started happening a couple years ago.
I noticed it and mentioned it.
It's just like...
I mean, I'm not against in any way.
So-called interracial couples, because my wife is from Taiwan, you know, and I'm not.
I'm Afro-Irish Native American.
But it's clear that they are scripting this into all the shows, because it's always a black and white couple now, in every show, it seems.
And you see black-white relationships all the time.
You don't even see, like, white Asian couples, or you don't see, like...
Black and Irish couples.
You don't see Persian and white couples or Persian and Asian.
It's always just black and white.
What about the Koreans?
How come you don't see any white Korean couples or white Japanese couples?
Nope.
Black and white.
Always black and white.
So they do that because it alters your neurology.
It trains your brain.
So your brain is constantly incorporating information around you.
And that's why it's critical to plug in to information sources that are going to uplift your knowledge and reinforce your worldview of freedom and liberty and truth and honesty, transparency, integrity,
high moral values, etc.
And that's why you've got to turn off the cable TV if you even have such a thing.
And I'll mention, I have not watched television for...
I'm trying to think.
Has it been 25 years?
Something like that.
It's been decades.
I mean, I've seen TVs at the airports during that time, but I haven't sat down and watched TV.
And people ask me sometimes, well, how do you know so much?
How do you know so much about so many different topics?
Because I don't watch TV.
I don't subject myself to toxic information sources, just like I don't subject myself to toxic food ingredients either.
It's the same thing.
So treat your brain the way you treat your body, which would be to give it good nutrition, which is good information, like what you're getting here, or independent media sources like brighteon.com or brighteon.social, which is a great site.
And then detox yourself from any toxic information that you may have received.
How do you do that?
Well, with, like, the probiotics of information.
You bring in all kinds of reinforcing information that is pro-human.
And you slowly detox from all the crap that they've been trying to shove down your brainstem.
That's how you do it.
So check out more of my podcasts and interviews on brighteon.com to get more.
Good information like this.
And you'll be way ahead of everybody else in society, especially those who listen to NPR or watch CNN or read the New York Times.
They will never be as informed, not even close.
So thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here, the founder of Brighteon.com, publisher of NaturalNews.com, and the creator of Brighteon.ai.
I'm also the music artist known as Amethios, A-M-E-T-H-I-O-S.
And you can find my Amethios album now at Amazon, Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, everywhere else that you can find music.
Just search for Amethios as the artist name, and the album is called The Awakening, and you'll enjoy nine songs there because they are all about the stuff that I talk about, which is like awakening humanity.
That's why the album is called The Awakening.
Check it out.
I think you'll enjoy it.
We've got a new product at the Health Ranger store called Oat Milk Powder.
Here it is.
Available now, and it's got just one ingredient, which is oats.
I mean, check it out.
It's loaded with natural minerals, and it's about 5% fat organic oat milk powder.
Certified organic, laboratory tested, and it's a great base for lots of smoothies.
You know I make my smoothies every day, and I started putting it in here as well.
Just gives it...
An extra rich and sweet taste, actually.
Oat milk powder is naturally kind of sweet.
And if you really want to jazz it up, you can add a banana to it, or you can put whey protein in it.
Let me show you what I have on my desk here, just some ideas of some of the things that I use in my smoothies, because I've been living on a smoothie for breakfast and lunch for like 20 years now.
And so I'll use like Coco Energize, I'll use whey protein, I'll put broccoli sprouts in it for the sulforaphane.
And there's the oat milk powder.
I also use turmeric powder and then instant coffee sometimes, but those are currently out of stock at our stores, so you have to check back on those later.
And you can use anthocyanins for fruit-based smoothies, etc.
But now, I use a big Vitamix blender, but for those of you who want to have something more convenient for your office that's portable, we now carry the Blendie.
Portable blenders at HealthRangerStore.com.
Just search for Blendy, B-L-E-N-D-I, and there's a couple different sizes there.
Now, these clearly are not as strong as a Vitamix, but they're portable, great at the workplace, great for travel.
You can use it in a hotel room, or you can use it on the go.
You can use it traveling or in an RV or what have you, and these can blend up.
You know, bananas and all these different powders and the new oat milk powder that we have as well quite successfully.
And if you want to make my smoothie, it's really just put in like half an avocado and half of a big banana into the blendy with some of these other powders like, you know, cacao powder and whey protein powder, a little bit of turmeric powder,
etc.
And then you're going to get a smoothie really close to what I drink every single day.
So that's how you do it.
And we've got these products and so much more available at healthrangerstore.com where every purchase helps support our network and our effort to bring you technologies and solutions and knowledge for human empowerment, life, liberty, and happiness.
So thank you for your support for shopping at healthrangerstore.com.
I'm Mike Adams of Health Ranger.
Thank you for all your support.
Take care.
Take care.
All right.
Welcome, everybody.
Mike Adams here.
I'm off camera today, but who's on camera and with us is the silver legend himself, David Morgan, the silver guru, as he's known.
Welcome, David Morgan.
It's just an honor to have you on here today.
Well, Mike, it's always a privilege to be with you, so thank you very much for asking me back.
Well, it's just...
I honor you so much, and I've learned so much from you over the years.
Let me just give out your website, themorganreport.com, and you've got some free reports and things to get people started there.
But give us the big-picture overview right now.
You're an expert in silver, but you also talk about gold.
What just happened with the draining of the Bank of England and the mass panic of getting gold in hand in New York?
What was that all about?
It's really a two- or three-part story.
I mean, you know, I have pretty good contacts worldwide.
And so what initially started, some will say differently, but what really started was there was a proposed tariff that would take place.
And this upset some of the metals' heads.
And they decided that they would move metal from the LBMA, which is pretty much a physical supply.
Entity into the COMEX, which is primarily a paper market 99% of the time.
And to make certain that metal, real metal, physical metal, got moved in time prior to a potential tariff, metal started flowing out of the LBMA in the COMEX.
Well, as that was starting to happen, a couple of things took place.
One is there's an arbitrage that will develop between the paper market and the London market.
And if you ship physical from London to New York, you actually captured a small spread.
And when you get a spread, a small arbitrage that something sells for a dollar in place A, and it sells for a dollar and five cents in place B, you can capture that five cents by the arbitrage,
the difference between the two markets.
But it also is cost.
There's cost to move metal.
Yeah, and gold is heavy to put on airplanes.
I mean, that's what they were doing was flying it.
Yeah, and so if you have enough of it, that 5%, you know, you might capture three or two and a half cents.
Well, you're talking, you know, multiple millions or, you know, hundreds of thousands, and it's the price of something that's 2,900 per unit per ounce.
It's worth doing it.
So that also moved metal out.
Well, now that those two things were taking place, a third one arrived.
And the third one was that people that were never thinking of taking their metal out of the LVMA started to find out that the metal deliveries were being moved backwards and backwards and backwards.
Instead of meeting the contract requirement of basically a week or so, it turned into two and four and possibly up to eight weeks.
And so that caused a lot of people or entities or nation states or hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds, etc., to say, wait a minute.
If there's taking this long to get metal from the London market into the New York market, I'm getting in line now because I want to make sure that my metal is safe or I really own it or it's in a jurisdiction I trust.
So some of that metal has gone in the COMEX.
For storage purposes for Sovereign Wealth Fund, for example.
Because when you're talking that kind of metal quantity, some of these countries really don't have the vault space or know what to do with it.
So they trust an LBMA or the COMEX warehouses to, you know, store it for them.
And I think for the most part, what's reported on COMEX is legit.
There's people in my peer group that...
That disagree with that.
I don't.
The serial numbers are there.
They're stamped.
You get a medallion, which is a certificate.
You know, I think what physically is in the facilities is very, very close to the actual truth.
However, having said that, Mike, I've got to go one step further.
I do believe that that medallion or that certificate that says I own 5,000 ounces of silver is used twice.
I think that that certificate could have the silver resting in Delaware, for example, but also be counted in the SLV.
So in other words, yeah, that metal's there, but it's in Delaware.
That's what it shows in the COMEX warehouse receipts.
But it's also on the books of own metal in the SLV to back it up.
Hopefully we made that clear.
Okay, yeah.
So you're talking about the rehypothecation of metals, which has been a big topic here, that it's been over-loaned out on paper or oversold on paper.
And now that so many people are demanding physical, which is all that really counts at the end of the day, everybody's in a panic because it's like a game of musical chairs and there just aren't enough chairs for all the people who have a piece of paper that says they own the gold.
Exactly.
And silver has actually been drained as much or more, really, than gold has.
I mean, gold always gets kind of, you know, center seat and, you know, it's the most talked about.
But the amount of silver that's moved out of the LBMA is substantial as well.
So does this...
Oh, I'm sorry to interrupt.
That's it.
But I have one question, backing up to the very beginning of what you said in all this, you mentioned tariffs.
But I don't recall...
Any threat of any tariff on gold ever, is that just something that people suspect might happen?
Yeah, it was conjecture as well.
What does it cover?
Very vague.
In the vagueness, we'll just be very safe and we'll start moving some metal.
I see.
And then the arbitrage and everything else, as I outlined, took place.
So it kind of compounded, as I said, step one, two, and three.
Okay.
It became, uh-oh, now it's almost like a bank run on gold.
It's like, well, how much is there?
And then, of course, interjecting and all that was, we're going to audit the Fort Knox gold.
And many people that aren't as adept at our community as you are and your listeners is that not all the gold is in Fort Knox.
The United States has 261 million ounces of gold on their books, and 141 million ounces of that is in Fort Knox.
Well, where's the rest of it?
Well, the New York Fed.
There's some in Denver.
There's some in the Mint.
And you add it all up, it comes out to the proper amount.
So if you're really going to do an audit, you've got to do all of them simultaneously.
You don't want somebody shipping metal out of the New York Fed into Fort Knox and looking at it and saying, yep, it's all there.
And then, you know, six months later, you ship it out of Fort Knox, move it into the New York Fed.
Yep, it's all there.
I'm trying to be a little funny, but stuff like that does happen.
Well, absolutely.
I mean, Elon Musk was talking about maybe live streaming a walkthrough of Fort Knox.
And to you and I, David, that doesn't count for anything.
You have to do an assay of the bars and the serial numbers and tracking.
I mean, it can't be a Hollywood set.
No.
And the other thing that I emphasize, and not too many analysts that I know of have said this, location doesn't prove ownership.
Good point.
I mean, look, all the metal that was at the LBMA, I mean, you could walk in there and say, oh, this is a London gold.
You know, it's all sitting in London and kind of like, you know, if you're not thinking deeply, say, oh, yeah, it's all London.
It must be London gold.
But no, a lot of that gold belonged to Abu Dhabi, a sovereign wealth fund in Asia, somebody in Hong Kong that's wealthy.
I mean, there's all kinds.
So you could put it all in Fort Knox and does that prove it's Fort Knox gold?
No.
It shows the location of Fort Knox, but unless you go to a real audit and you look in the books and you say who's who in the zoo, and this person owns it called the United States Treasury, and that's the only entity for each bar that you serial number and assay,
now you know.
But unless you go that deep, you're not really going to know.
You might see the location that it matches.
So what?
And this is really important, Mike, because I'm sure you agree.
Because this purportedly is, you know, wealth of the United States, you know, American citizens.
And this is really the foundational money system, even though we've detached from it, it's still there.
It's sort of like, I call it the money of last resort.
And if we really do have the largest, unencumbered, freestanding gold supply in the world.
And everything falls apart in the fiat realm, we're still in pretty good shape.
But on the other hand, if all we have is an IOU or we swapped it out or sent it to the Rothschilds Bank or something, that's not a good thing.
Right.
Well, so it's really interesting to me that I think what's happening in terms of history unfolding.
Is that there is a shift away from fiat currencies and a shift into commodities or commodity-backed currencies or settlement systems, such as the BRICS system, or maybe eventually a gold-backed new dollar or a partially gold-backed dollar or something like that,
or even state currencies that are backed partially by gold, like Texas is always talking about something like that.
I did a podcast recently.
I just sent you the link.
I know you'll really enjoy hearing it.
I just want to run this by you.
My theory is that AI and robotics is only going to accelerate this move towards commodities-backed currencies for the following reason.
Because until now, throughout history, all transactions in dollars, let's say, were trading for something that was a product of human cognition or human labor, one way or another.
Human cognition or human labor is behind everything you buy, whether it's a car or a piece of software or food.
It's all human cognition and human labor.
Now, human labor can be amplified with tractors and combustion engines, etc., but there's still a human involved driving that tractor.
But with the rise of AI and AI cognition now exceeding any one person's cognition, and that can be replicated quickly to do all the cognitive tasks like engineering.
Etc.
Math, physics, chemistry.
And then coming in the next couple of years, even beginning this year, AI labor or robot labor that becomes a fraction of the cost of human labor.
It's being said that these very capable warehouse robots will cost about $2 an hour versus way over $20 an hour for a human who often doesn't show up and do the job, right?
So, my point, David, I'd love your reaction to this, I know this is a brief version here, is that as GDP goes, well, I'm sorry, as more and more people use AI to do tasks that used to cost dollars, like I would pay an attorney to do something,
hundreds of dollars, now I can type it into my computer and the AI gives me the same letter, the same, you know, gets me out of a parking ticket, whatever.
And so dollars didn't exchange hands for that.
Or I buy a robot, and then that robot changes the oil on my car.
That robot paints my house.
So dollars are not needed in any of those transactions any longer, which means that GDP is no longer a measure of the quality of life that people are getting when they're using AI cognition and AI robots.
And thus, dollars themselves...
Fall in demand domestically because people don't need dollars to get things done.
So that's part of my theory of why AI will lead to gold and silver because it's the only thing that will have value as currency is just printed and not really that desired.
But what do you think about all that?
Well, I think you're right about the trend.
And I'm a deep thinker, so I'd have to think about a little deeper, but it did stir a couple of thoughts.
One is the documentary that we finished filming and we're editing now called Silver Sunrise.
It's at silversunrise.tv.
You can see some trailers from G. Edward Griffin and some of the people that were interviewed for the movie.
But it brings up those very questions like, what is the future of money?
Do you even need money?
Are we moving into a Star Trek society?
And these are very important questions.
And what I look at in the film, I try to hit harder that it's different, I think, than almost any.
and that is the spiritual side of money.
Yeah. What's this attachment where it's such a control mechanism and causes so much hardship and heartache for so many people because they don't have enough or they've got to work two jobs and they're stressed out or they get divorced because the main breadwinner
loses their job and all these things that revolve around money.
So I'm trying to look deeper at that.
And of course, what you bring up with AI is, as a lot of these human deployments
Dependent functions go away and we take them almost for granted and there's no money exchange.
What does that do?
And I think, and this purportedly came from Einstein, you know, he feared a day when that the technology exceeded the human capacity to be empathetic, something like that.
I didn't get it quite right.
When the technology exceeded our humanity.
And I worry about that.
And that's one of the reasons I made this film.
So I don't mean to go too much on a tangent.
I agree the trend is there.
Where it will end?
Will we go to gold and silver?
I think that exchange of labor or exchange of intellectual property, we really do intrinsically want value for value.
And I think that having said that, if you let the AI determine monetary function from all of history without any bias, it would come to that conclusion.
Problem being is that I'm biased.
Well, but what's interesting about all of this, and by the way, thank you for letting me know about your documentary here.
I just assigned that to my editors while you were talking.
Silversunrise.tv is the website.
When does that actually come out?
The fast roll of five and six.
I haven't had time to look at it.
I'll look at it this weekend, Mike.
But I think once that's there, then he starts filling in the stuff.
So it's basically like the cuts of the interview with questions we asked.
And then he has to fill it in with, you know, background material, of course, with fair use.
Right.
Some of the movies that have really inspired me, like the movie I Am.
Which talks about, like, I am responsible.
I am part of the problem.
Am I going to own that I am?
There's several others that talk about money and, you know, what it means and shift maybe of being too greedy to get any more in line with what you need.
And happiness is not determined on the amount of dollars, but more about what you give than what you get.
All these types of things.
I don't want to drone on too much.
But a lot of that's filler because...
One of the main premises of the movie that got my juices flowing, so to speak, is this guy Harold Katzvella.
And he does a film clip that hopefully will be in the movie, the documentary.
And he's speaking at a BASIS conference in London, I believe.
And he talks about when the scientists taught apes to use money.
And they taught them within a few weeks.
And after they learned...
What happened just a few weeks after was the boys, the male apes, started to cheat and steal on each other.
And it wasn't like much after that that the females started to process themselves.
And this was something the biologists had no idea would take place.
Wow.
So they decided to take the money away from the apes.
And as repeating Harold Katzville said, bad idea.
Because when the biologists went into the cage to take the money away and stop the experiment, they beat them up.
They didn't want to give up the money.
Wow.
So then he goes on to say, this is a gaming addiction.
This is, I think he even said satanic type of situation.
I might be exaggerating here, Mike.
I'll try to be truthful.
But he did say gaming addiction and that they don't want to give up this gaming addiction.
And he goes, the whole idea is scarcity.
We don't have enough.
I've got to hoard it.
I've got to hold on to it.
I'm never going to get enough.
And I'm not enough.
And all these things that revolve around this idea of quote-unquote money.
And what he talks about later is we need a shift of consciousness.
We need to know that there is enough for everybody.
The universe is infinite.
We have enough for everyone.
There's enough for, like in the movie Thrive, who Foster Gamble's in the movie.
As an aside, that there is enough for everyone to thrive.
But we need to have a consciousness shift that we know that and that we are enough.
And you teach our kids when they go to school or the indoctrination camps that you're enough.
You don't have to be anything specific.
You as a human being are worthy in and of yourself.
That type of thing.
So, one more real quick one.
You want to see that film clip.
All you need to do is go to themorganreport.com forward slash monkey, M-O-N-K-E-Y.
Even though it's a study of apes, my webmaster used the word monkey.
So go to themorganreport.com forward slash monkey.
You will see that.
I think it's a three-minute clip.
I think if you see it for the first time, it's going to kick you back in your seat because a lot of that resonates with, oh my goodness, what are we doing to ourselves?
That's really extraordinary.
It just shows you, too, I think our audience would resonate with this idea that artificial scarcity has been placed upon humanity as a means of control.
And so artificial scarcity in money, which is really interesting, leads to my next question, whereas the government can print unlimited currency.
But we have scarcity, and we have to give more currency to them, even though they can print all they want.
But then secondly, scarcity in energy, scarcity in knowledge, that's censorship, and scarcity in technology, that's suppression of technology, seizing patents, etc., including patents of free energy technology that could set humanity free and offer decentralized freedom.
But getting to money, I'm proposing that we call the Trump administration the Audit administration, because now they're auditing through Doge, right?
Auditing USAID, finding out that even the EPA, Lee Zeldin as head of EPA, just did a bombshell interview, I think it was Fox News yesterday, saying that we found out that EPA was used as a giant slush fund front to funnel billions of dollars to these pop-up nonprofits that were just funneling money to who knows where,
all under the guise of climate, which was just a cover story.
And the same thing was happening with USAID.
David, your response to this, now that the audits have begun, it's turning up that everything, the whole government operation of money printing has been a massive criminal money laundering operation.
Yeah, it's not surprising to me.
I mean, I've said for years, especially on some interviews, I don't do it on all of them, it's basically we have a...
A criminal enterprise running the global financial system.
I mean, you know, I'm a big proponent of the movie Network as kind of a metaphor for what really happens.
And in that movie, if you haven't seen it, you can type it in.
There's some clips on YouTube.
And basically, this well-known news reporter says there is no USA.
There is no South America.
There is no China.
All there is is 3M, AT&T, Dow Chemical, DuPont.
And he names all the multinational corporations.
And there's a lot of truth in that, that the Chinese don't want to go to war with us.
They want to get back to making money.
And this is something that is kind of overlooked, and I've said it many times, that whether you're in a communist system or a socialist system or a republic or a democracy or whatever slant you have in your political class,
the bankers don't care.
As long as they're in control of the issuance of money, they don't care what political strife you are.
They're still in control.
And this is something that's hard to get across to some people.
I actually interviewed Dr. Shiva fairly early on.
I know you spoke with him a couple times.
I listened to their last interview twice.
I listened to it twice.
And I don't disagree with his swarm idea, but I tried to point out the...
Pyramid from the Thrive movie about government is the lowest rung on the pyramid.
What's above that?
Multinational corporations.
What's above that?
Commercial banks.
What's above that?
International money center banks.
What's above that?
The Bankers Bank, Bank for International Settlements.
What's above that?
The big I. And I'm not going to go there because it can get very distorted at that level.
But you get my point.
And most people are just really upset with that pyramid when they think about it because they want to believe that Team Red or Team Blue is going to solve their problems.
Maybe they'll make them better and maybe we'll get to a government that actually works for the people like intended originally.
I don't rule that out.
What I'm trying to convey is you need to put your faith in a higher power and not in man, even as good as Trump may or may not turn out to be.
We still have to rely on something.
And that comes from within ourselves, basically, from my belief system.
So my point is that we've got the whole system upside down, Mike.
And a lot of good is going to come from this audit.
But yet, I think the main point doesn't need to be missed.
And that is, we need to be reliant on each other, trust each other.
Yes, the political class can still exist, but let's size it to properly meet and serve us, which was the original intent.
We'll come back to a system that we can all believe in and trust.
Well, I completely agree with you, and there's a lot of wisdom in what you just said, and I would simply add that I don't think government should be in the business of creating currency at all.
Not at all.
Not at all.
Yeah, I mean, we the people would be so much better off to have an honest currency backed by gold, like, exchangeable for gold.
Through some mechanism.
And I know there are some people working on this with various privacy crypto projects and so on.
But without the power of the government getting behind something, it'll probably never be widespread use.
And the government, of course, has abused this power and has used it to enslave us and to confiscate the product of our labor, which is a form of slavery.
Do you think that Trump is serious about ending the IRS?
Well, that's a tough one.
I'll take him at his word.
I think he probably is.
I mean, right now, it's so convoluted.
I mean, if you look at my bookshelves and you multiply that about fourfold, that's about the IRS code.
They don't know what's in it.
You don't know what's in it.
No one knows what's in it.
I mean, they know certain sections and all this, but I'm saying in totality, no one can cover all that.
Maybe AI.
The point is that it'd be very simple to cut the IRS completely out of the pattern, And make a VAT at point of sale.
So if you're buying a Volkswagen like I drive, your sales tax or your point of sale tax, your VAT is, make up a number, 2.5%.
But if you buy a Lamborghini, since that's a luxury item, it's 10%.
But at least in that case, you have a choice that, you know, if I want the Lamborghini, I'm willing to pay the extra, you know, fee.
But at least there is some Free will involved in the transaction, whereas now it's not.
You know, it's basically if you make this much, send in this check.
Of course, there's a lot of stuff that goes around that.
I'm simplifying it, of course.
But I think it'd be a lot simpler.
Would it be fair?
I don't know.
I mean, you know, the question about slavery always comes up.
You know, if they tax one half of your income, are you a half a slave?
You know, when do you become a slave?
The tax you at 1%?
Is it 50%?
Is it 75%?
Well, it's three-fifths, according to an old Supreme Court decision.
That's exactly right.
But the real question in all of this, though, is, I mean, Trump, he's not proposing a national retail sales tax.
No, no, I know.
He's proposing tariffs to replace it, which isn't, the math doesn't actually add up on that.
So it means the rest of it's got to come from printing currency.
So I think...
This is my opinion.
I think that Trump is going to just print away the debt and just print the money to run the government, which is going to, of course, cause devaluation of the currency.
It's going to cause gold to go higher defined in dollars and silver as well, but also groceries and everything.
So get ready, folks, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to imply that Trump proposed that at all.
It's just the way...
You know, it could be done.
It's an example.
But I think you're right.
I think we're in, you know, trend in motion continues until it actually stops.
The trend in motion, since we cut the gold tie in August 15th, 71, until now, the trend has been that the dollar's worth less, worth less, and it becomes worthless at some point.
And I think that trend has not changed, nor it will.
And usually at the end, it accelerates.
And if you look at the money supply, how it keeps doubling every fewer years, we're on an acceleration phase, which means exactly what you said, Mike, where the destination is pretty clear.
Now, what happens after that's what's really important because, again, as you and I both stated earlier, we want the free market, the people themselves, to determine what is a value-based money system.
And that's what works outside of government intervention.
And really, that task was given to the Treasury, which was usurped by the Federal Reserve in Christmas Eve, 1913.
So will we get back to that or not?
I don't know.
I certainly would like to think so.
That's the purpose of my life, basically, is to restore freedom and the power of money to the people.
That's why I'm alive.
I mean, I feel that's my duty and my calling.
But outside of who I am or what I do, that's a key to a truly free society.
And without freedom, we really don't have anything.
You can have all the gold in the world.
You can have all the farmland.
You can have warehouses full of freeze-dried food.
But if you don't have freedom, it really isn't worth it much.
It's funny you say that because I just did a podcast on that very point.
I said...
Some people complain to me and say, stop talking about politics.
Just focus on food and health.
And I did a whole podcast explaining you can't talk about food and health without talking about freedom, which is political.
Because if you don't have freedom, then you're going to starve and you're going to be forced to take interventions or jabs against your will.
You've got to have freedom first.
Only from that does abundance even have a chance.
Correct.
All right, David.
Well, thank you so much for this interview.
And I want to give out your website again, themorganreport.com.
And just want to encourage our audience, if you add a slash monkey after the end of that, not shock the monkey, but slash the monkey, slash monkey, then you can watch the video, the astonishing video called What Happens When You Teach Monkeys to Use Money?
And it's not good.
So thank you, David, for joining me today.
It's been a pleasure.
My pleasure, Mike.
Thank you.
All right.
Take care.
And thank you all for watching today.
