Time Text
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, March 25th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
I'm a little bit peeved.
I'm actually a lot peeved today.
So there will be some explicit profanity in today's podcast.
Not too crazy.
I won't be dropping any F-bombs.
But some other profanity.
Part of this stems from the fact that the Trump administration has nominated Dr. Susan Monarez to head up the CDC.
And who is this woman?
Well, she is a vaccine weaponization expert who was the vaccine deputy director of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, ARPA, for health.
And she's photographed with Bill Gates.
And tweeted out, the Gates Foundation has had an incredible impact on global health.
Yeah, at killing people!
CDC works closely with the Gates Foundation, she says, to fight polio and other global health threats.
Great to touch base last night on those efforts.
Public health is a team sport.
And there she is with Bill Gates.
Public health is not a team sport.
Are you kidding me?
A team sport?
You know what they do for sport?
They exterminate human beings.
That's what the CDC does for sport, and Bill Gates and other globalists in vaccines.
They exterminate human beings for sport.
So this is the woman, or at least that's her tweet.
Actually, I'm looking at this photo.
I'm not sure that's her in the photo, but it may not be her in the photo, but that's her tweet.
She's super happy about Bill Gates and the CDC, and she works on vaccines.
So why on earth would Trump nominate her to head up the CDC instead of Dr. Joseph Latipo, the Surgeon General of Florida?
Dr. Latipo is a far better candidate.
In fact, Dr. Weldon was a far better candidate.
This is, I'm sorry to say, this is a giant FU to MAGA and MAHA.
This makes a laughingstock out of MAHA.
So, I don't know.
It's crazy.
There might be some confusion because she's put her face and her name on the CDC director account now.
And some of these tweets were from previous CDC directors.
So, I'm going to have to take a look at this.
The appearance is that she is saying these things, and she hasn't deleted these tweets, okay?
So it's her face, it's her name, and it's her tweet.
Now, she owns these tweets now as the CDC director.
If she disagrees with these tweets, she should delete them.
You know, she should delete them.
There's several tweets that are making the rounds right now of things from that account that now has her name and her face on it.
Like, would you put your face and your name on some account without reviewing it?
Seriously. Come on.
This is crazy.
She should not put her face on...
She hasn't even been confirmed yet, has she?
What is she doing?
Anyway, this is pretty insane, but...
We're going to keep a lookout on whether she disavows any of these tweets or not.
If she deletes them, if she disavows them, then we'll bring you that update.
But right now, so far, she has not.
Apparently, she's the acting director of the CDC.
Yeah, she's an actor.
That's for sure.
She's acting because it's a Truman Show.
You're watching a movie.
They're all actors.
And they're running a script.
And the current script is called Exterminate Humanity.
With vaccines and bioweapons.
And that's the script that she's running right now.
Alright, so of course I have a special report for you on a number of things today.
First, I want to cover the fact that 23andMe, you know, the company where you send in your spit and then they do a genetic analysis of it and they send you back, like you're 0.5% Native American or whatever.
That company's going bankrupt.
And, of course, they're selling your data to everybody all over the world, different pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies and law enforcement, etc.
And even one company tied to the Ministry of Defense of the nation of Russia.
So if you were gullible enough to send your spit to a medical science company in America, guess what?
All the Russians know your genetic code.
Yeah. Huh.
Probably not good.
I have a special report on this, and it does have profanity in it, and it is a little bit condescending to those who were gullible enough to send their spit to 23andMe, which, let's be honest, that was a silly thing to do.
So let's play that special report first.
23andMe bankruptcy means your genetic data will be weaponized against you and your children.
Here we go.
Welcome to the special report on 23andMe.
Gone bankrupt and will now be selling its customer data to the highest bidder.
Actually, they've been able to sell your data for a very long time.
And if anybody listening to this, if you were gullible enough to send your spit to 23andMe, what I'm going to describe for you here are the three ways that you are going to get reamed.
And your children will also get reamed.
This is a multi-generational reaming by corporate America and the science.
So, hopefully, most of you listening to this, you weren't gullible enough to send your genetic material to a corporation that doesn't even have accurate results anyway.
Sometimes, you know, people have sent in, like, lizard spit, you know, lizard drool, and they would send back, oh, like, you're 2% African American, you know?
Yeah, that was lizard spit, so I'm not sure that your test results are that reliable, but they will be weaponized against you, reliable or not.
So, guess what?
The O'Keefe Media Group, OMG, got an undercover video of a man named Nathaniel Johnson, a policy advisor for the U.S. Department of Treasury, who told an undercover journalist that 23andMe is sharing data with pharmaceutical companies that are based overseas, including the Ministry of Defense of Russia.
It says there's a clause in their contract that says that we can give your information to our shareholders, and their shareholders are foreign-owned pharmaceutical companies, including Russia, China, etc.
So check out this short video, and then we'll continue.
Upwind 23 and me comes in.
Trying to figure out what all you are.
I should do that.
You shouldn't do that, though.
Do not give your information to other people.
They sell it to other people.
Do they sell it to Russia?
They sell it to other people.
There's a clause in their contract that basically says, like, we can give your information to our shareholders so that they can do something.
And all of their shareholders are, like, pharmaceutical companies.
But some of those pharmaceutical companies are companies based in other countries, and those pharmaceutical companies in other countries are like the property of like the Ministry of Defense of Russia, or like owned by China.
Alright, so there you go.
It's well known.
It's well known.
So, what I'm going to present for you here, or explain, are three ways that 23andMe is going to ream you with your own genetic data.
So point number one, as people are shopping for groceries and they're using like grocery store loyalty cards or coming up CBDCs or SNAP cards, you know, SNAP programs like food stamps.
In all these cases, the foods that those people buy are tracked.
And when you combine their food purchasing habits with their genetic profile, then conclusions can be drawn statistically that say things like, oh, well, this person with a predisposition toward breast cancer is eating these, like, processed meats, let's say, with bacon or whatever, and that combination causes cancer.
Therefore, we're going to drop your health insurance or double your rates, you know, something like that.
So what they can do is they can start data mining your grocery shopping habits, combining it with your genetic data, and they can then sell that to insurance companies who will then use those data to double your rates, maybe triple your rates, or to cut off your health insurance.
So there you go.
Bonus number one.
23andMe. Or how about 23andMe no longer got no health insurance?
That's what it is.
So, okay, that's point number one.
Of course it's going to be weaponized against you, of course.
Point number two, they can sell it to law enforcement companies that will then declare you to be possibly guilty.
You could be a person of interest in a crime where some genetic material was discovered at the scene, maybe just some small sequence, a protein sequence, a little genetic sequence, and it happens to match a sequence of yours.
Even though it's not a full match, it's a partial match, so you get wrapped up into a search warrant.
Yeah, they can do that.
They issue a search warrant to come to your house because you are now a person of interest.
You can have your house raided.
You can have your computers confiscated.
You can have your medical records taken, etc., because they think that you might be a match for some crime that you didn't even commit.
And you have no idea who committed it.
Maybe it was your brother or, you know, your nephew or your niece or whatever.
Who knows?
Or maybe it's nobody related to you at all because we are all related in some way.
So basically, you are giving up your Fourth Amendment rights when you send your spit to 23andMe.
And there are no takebacks.
If you've already done this, well...
You know, hey, police could come to your door on any given day and say, we have evidence that you may have committed this crime because we found some genetic codes there, and it matches your genetic codes, and you might be guilty.
So we're going to arrest you.
Yep. So there you go.
There's a movie that you should watch about this called Gattaca.
I don't know.
It's back to the 1990s, I believe.
Gattaca? It's a...
Pretty good movie.
And you should practice genetic hygiene like the guy in the movie.
Don't leave genetic material behind everywhere.
Okay, point number three.
Now, when this company, 23andMe, which again is going bankrupt, when they know that you have a predisposition to a certain disease, again, cancer, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, whatever, well, As we discussed earlier, yes, they can use that information to deny you health insurance or to raise your health insurance rates or to charge you more if you're eating certain foods or visiting certain restaurants, which are reflected on your credit card purchases.
But did you know they can also punish your children and your grandchildren because genes are inherited?
Yes, genes are inherited.
Therefore, if you have a genetic predisposition to cancer, then this company can assume...
That your children may also have the same genetic predisposition.
Yes, you have cursed your children and grandchildren to paying double or triple the health insurance rates or having no health insurance because they are deemed a risk because of your spit or the genetic code found in your spit.
You see?
So people don't think about this.
They're like, oh, I want to find out.
Am I Irish?
You're Irish.
No, you're Scottish.
No, you're stupid.
To send your spit to a corporation.
You're stupid.
Because they're going to weaponize.
Of course they're going to weaponize it.
They're going to use it to punish your children and your grandchildren, have you arrested, have your house searched.
They're going to use it to double your health insurance rates, whatever.
Trust me on this point.
And there are no takebacks.
Because if you already did this, they already have your data.
Oh, you can request.
They delete your data.
Oh, yeah.
You know how they're going to do that?
In the database, they're going to mark your record as deleted.
They don't actually delete the record.
They just mark it as, like there's a field called deleted, and that field becomes a yes.
But all your data is still there.
Okay? So it's not deleted because that's not the way they work.
They'll still use your data.
Trust me.
I mean, come on.
Do you trust corporations that were run by the sister of the YouTube CEO, Susan Wojcicki, who died from turbo cancer after taking the jab?
And she pushed massive censorship of people who were telling the truth about vaccines.
Susan Wojcicki, dead.
She was younger than me.
Her sister ran 23andMe.
And I think, I think, Casey Means was involved in it at some level, too.
According to Dr. Jack Cruz, he was talking about that, but I don't know his role.
I know that Susan Wojcicki's sister ran the thing, and she ran it into the ground.
So now, what do they have left that's worth something?
Oh, the data!
Yeah, the data.
So now, they're shopping around.
They're going to sell it over and over and over again.
They'll sell it to China.
They'll sell it to Russia.
They'll sell it to Big Pharma.
They'll sell it to insurance companies.
They'll sell it to law enforcement.
They'll sell it to government, the NSA, everything that you can imagine.
They're going to sell it everywhere a thousand different ways.
So the people who participated in that, they just gave up their genetic privacy for generations.
Unbelievably stupid.
You know, people ask me, well, did I take any COVID jabs?
Of course not.
Of course I don't trust the system.
If you do trust the system, you know, slap yourself a little bit because you've learned since then, maybe, not to trust the system, right?
Because you know.
They don't care about you.
They don't care about your privacy.
They're going to weaponize everything.
They're going to commercialize everything.
And everything is a weapon against you.
The COVID jabs are extermination bioweapons.
And yes, they want your DNA.
They're probably going to build DNA-specific targeted bioweapons to kill certain groups of people in certain ways.
I mean, come on!
The DOD has been researching this for decades.
Plum Island?
Lyme disease?
Anyone? You know, agricultural diseases to kill the food supply?
You know, what was in the news just recently?
That the United States government was trying to poison sugar shipments that were going to Russia.
This was a few decades ago.
But that's what the U.S. does.
That's what the CIA does.
They put poison in food and ship it off to poison Russia or to poison Cuba.
And in the last few years, they've been poisoning us.
Come on.
If anybody doesn't realize this, it might be too late for them.
You've got to stop being gullible.
Wake up and realize that you're on the target list.
So don't give them a swab.
I haven't been swabbed by anybody.
I never let them stick that up my nose or in my ass.
No swabs.
I don't take the jabs.
I don't wear the mask.
I don't do the lockdowns.
I don't give them my spit.
I don't give them my hair.
I don't do any of that stuff.
The closest I came to that is, of course, I had to give them my fingerprints to get my firearm suppressors because the ATF requires fingerprints.
But as it turns out, I was fingerprinted many, many years ago anyway when I used to work for UPS in college.
So at that time, when you got a job with UPS handling packages, they fingerprinted all of you to try to dissuade.
People from stealing stuff.
Which apparently was a problem.
Probably still is a problem.
So I was fingerprinted anyway.
So that wasn't anything new.
That's the worst I've done.
I don't give people swabs and genetic code and body samples and things like that.
And I don't visit doctors for the most part.
Except on rare occasions.
And the last time I visited a doctor.
Which was months after I almost severed my index finger, that visit was completely useless.
It just taught me, don't visit doctors.
It's just a total waste of time and money.
There's nothing that that visit taught me that I didn't already know months earlier.
In fact, it was a complete waste of time.
And he spent like, you know, six minutes with me and billed my insurance company $1,500.
I was like, this is insane!
And you know everything they put in your medical records can also be weaponized and used against you.
So if you don't want your medical records used against you, don't visit doctors.
I mean, it's common sense.
And for the most part, people could do better themselves.
You could ask DeepSeek and get better answers than your doctor.
Your doctor doesn't know everything.
Probably just going to prescribe some toxic medication anyway.
No, I'm not saying it.
You know, you shouldn't go to the emergency room if you have an acute injury.
Obviously, if you're bleeding out, if you've broken a bone or something serious, yeah, go to the emergency room.
I would do that, too.
Although I didn't.
But I'm not saying you shouldn't go to the emergency room if you've been seriously injured.
I'm just saying take charge of your health and realize that everything that your doctor writes in a record is going to be weaponized against you.
It's going to be used to deny you a job or deny you health insurance or deny you benefits or deny you the right to drive a vehicle or it's going to be used against you in some way that you can't even imagine.
So stop doing that.
And besides, almost all the health problems in America today, not the acute injuries but the chronic degenerative disease, it's vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
Combined with exposure to toxicities.
It's really those two things for the most part.
And I should add sunlight deficiencies because I consider sunlight to be a form of nutrition, by the way.
So let's say nutritional deficiencies and exposure to toxicities.
That explains 99% of all degenerative disease in America.
If you solve those two issues, your doctor is 99% useless.
Accurate. You don't need them.
And people are like, oh, I need to go to my doctor to get Ozempic, you know, to tackle my obesity.
No, you need to stop eating Cheetos and Pop-Tarts and donuts for breakfast.
This is not complicated.
You don't need to inject yourself with reptile venom peptides in the form of weight loss drugs.
What you need to do is change what you eat.
Maybe increase your physical activity if you are able.
It doesn't have to be crazy, but it has to be something.
This isn't complicated.
So take charge of your health.
Stop turning over your information to corporations and doctors and medical institutions and governments.
Just stop it.
If some government agency mails you some form, for example, And says, oh, you have to fill this out.
Otherwise, we might do something horrible to you.
You know what I do with those letters?
I just throw them in the trash.
Throw them in the trash.
Why? Because you can't prove that I ever got that letter.
Screw you.
I'm not filling out your stupid form.
It's going in the trash.
There was this thing called the Corporate Transparency Act.
There was a deadline last December 31st.
And all the accountants across America were losing their minds.
Oh, you've got to register.
You've got to file with the Financial Crimes Division.
Like, every small business in America was required to file by December 31st, right?
Again, all the accountants were going crazy, losing their minds.
I said, I'm not filing.
I'm not filing because I knew there were a couple of court cases in the works, and there was at least one court injunction that had promise.
So I said, I'm not filing.
And then they push the, oh, you have to file January 13th or whatever.
I'm like, I'm not filing.
Screw you.
This is unconstitutional.
It's a violation of my Fourth Amendment rights.
But everybody else that I knew in business, oh, you got to file.
Oh, we already filed.
Have you filed yet?
We filed.
Did you file?
Like, why are you so obedient?
What's wrong with you?
Why are you filing?
Why are you basically admitting that you might be involved in a financial crime?
Why are you bearing witness against yourself?
You know, you're waiving your Fifth Amendment rights when you file that?
What's wrong with you?
Don't you think about anything?
I'm like, I'm not filing.
Screw them!
And sure enough, it got delayed again, and then again, and then when Trump came into office, guess what?
To his credit, Trump leaned on Treasury, and Treasury officials announced that Oh, we decided we're not going to enforce this at all against American businesses, so you can ignore it all.
And I'm like, yeah, that's what I thought.
And everybody else who filed is like, freaking idiots.
Why did you file?
Because somebody told us we had to file.
So you just do whatever people tell you to do?
What's wrong with you?
Why? You just, are you an obedient slave?
You just, everybody just, you have to file.
Okay. How can I be more obedient today?
Screw that.
That's not the way I run my life.
I don't file.
When the ATF said, oh, everybody has to register their arm-braced AR pistols.
Remember that?
A couple years back, oh, everybody has to register.
You have to take a picture and you have to fill out the form and do the point system and you have to apply.
And there's a bunch of people, oh, we have to apply, we have to comply, we have to fill out the forms, type it away, clickety-clack, clickety-clack.
We have to comply with ATF, otherwise they'll do horrible things to us.
I didn't comply.
I just removed the arm braces.
I didn't fill out any forms.
I removed the arm braces and just kept them.
It's like, hey, if the ATF shows up, I don't have any arm-braced AR-15 pistols.
I have AR-15 pistols.
And I have arm braces somewhere else.
Can't seem to find them at the moment.
I don't know where they are, but they're not here, so go pound sand.
And then they reversed the whole thing on, and everybody was an idiot who had filled out the forms, and now the ATF knows what you have.
You know?
Again, if you comply, you're an idiot.
So stop complying with tyranny.
Stop sending your genetic code.
Stop sending your saliva.
I mean, if the government told you you have to take a shit in a bottle and ship it to the IRS or the FDA for sewage contamination searches for, you know, COVID and stuff, would you take a shit in a can and ship it to the CDC or the FDA if they told you, like, every American has to take a shit in a can and send it for a sewage screen?
Would you do that?
I would have my dog shit in a can and I would send loads of those to the CDC.
But I would not comply.
Most people would.
Because people are robots.
People are just robots.
They just do whatever they're told to do.
What did the old Cylons say in Battlestar Galactica?
Like, by your command.
By your command.
If you just do what you're told all the time, you're not even really human.
You're just a robot.
You're an NPC.
Stop being an NPC.
23andMe for NPCs.
It sounds like a rap.
We could make a song.
23andMe. It's more like 23andYouTellMe.
What to do.
Because that's the way most people are.
Stop being an NPC.
Think for yourself, man.
Don't comply.
Do not comply.
Because it's all bullshit.
Alright, sorry about the profanity, but I did add the word explicit to the title of this podcast to warn you in advance.
Sometimes there are no other words to accurately describe what's happening.
So, there you go.
Alright, thank you for listening to this Do Not Comply podcast.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the publisher of NaturalNews.com and also the founder of Brighteon.com.
You can follow me on X at HealthRanger, but I prefer you follow me on brighteon.social and also brighteon.io, where I am HealthRanger as well.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right, now I want to play a brightlearn.ai book review video for you here called Transhumanism, A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas by Dr. Joseph Farrell.
And Dr. Scott DeHart.
I believe they have their names correct.
Anyway, it's about transhumanism and the horrors of transhumanism.
It's a little under eight minutes, so check out this book review video.
You can find them all for free at brightlearn.ai.
And we'll be back with more reports after this illustrated book video.
Here we go.
Transhumanism, a grimoire of alchemical agendas.
by Dr. Joseph Farrell and Dr. Scott DeHart explores the hidden connections between science, philosophy, and the ancient wisdom that continues to shape our lives.
It challenges us to rethink the very foundations of our understanding of science, religion, and the human condition.
Let's begin by unraveling the alchemical threads woven into the fabric of modern science.
As we explore the works of Renaissance thinkers like Marsilio Ficino, we find a profound connection between love and magic.
Ficino, in his commentary on Plato's Symposium, asks, Why is love called a magus?
His answer is simple yet profound.
Because all the force of magic consists in love.
This idea suggests that the fundamental force driving the universe is a kind of The known is a tiny island floating on a vast and very strange sea.
Booth encourages us to embrace doubt.
and resist the urge to impose patterns on the world too quickly instead we should allow deeper patterns to emerge recognizing that science like any other myth represents what we deeply want to believe as we delve into the book's core themes we encounter the unsettling idea that modern science is in many ways a continuation of ancient alchemical practices The authors propose that the goals of
modern science, particularly in fields like genetics and transhumanism, are eerily similar to the alchemical quest for transformation and transcendence.
Consider the concept of the alchemo-vegetable man, a term that encapsulates the fusion of human and plant characteristics.
This idea is not as far-fetched as it might seem.
The authors point out that ancient societies, like the Mayans, attempted to achieve this fusion through rituals involving the sacrifice of human blood to fertilize their crops.
Today, we see echoes of this ancient practice in the genetic engineering of crops, where human genes are spliced into plants, and vice versa.
The authors argue that this is not merely a coincidence, but part of a larger alchemical agenda.
They suggest that the ultimate goal is the transformation of mankind itself, a process they refer to as the alchemical re-ascent, back up the Tower of Babel.
This ascent is not just a return to a state of primordial unity, but a transformation into a new kind of being, one that transcends the limitations of our current human form.
Central to this alchemical vision is the concept of androgyny.
The idea of a primordial unity that encompasses both male and female principles.
The authors explore the symbolic significance of androgyny in various religious and mythological traditions, from the Hindu concept of the primordial trinity to the Mayan Popol Vuh's account of the creation of mankind.
In the Popol Vuh, we find a narrative that describes mankind's original state as a kind of masculine androgynous unity.
A state of perfect knowledge and power.
This unity, however, posed a threat to the gods, leading to the fragmentation of mankind and the loss of this original knowledge.
The authors argue that this story reflects a deep-seated fear of the power of human consciousness and the potential for mankind to transcend its current limitations.
Ferrell and De Haert then turned their attention to the transhumanist movement, which seeks to use technology to enhance human capabilities and ultimately achieve a state of singularity, a point at which human and machine intelligence merge.
This vision, they argue, is a modern manifestation of the alchemical quest for the philosopher's stone, a symbol of ultimate knowledge and power.
The authors highlight the work of transhumanist thinkers like Ray Kurzweil, who envision a future where humans can upload their consciousness into computers, achieving a form of virtual immortality.
They suggest that this vision is not just a technological fantasy but a continuation of the ancient alchemical dream of transcending the limitations of the human body and achieving a state of divine perfection.
However, the authors also warn that this alchemical transformation is not just a personal or technological endeavor, but a social one.
According to Farrell and to Hart, the three great yahuisms, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have, in their own ways, co-opted the alchemical metaphor, using it as a tool for social engineering.
These religions, they continue, have inverted the ancient metaphor, Using it to create a new kind of social order based on the idea of a chosen people and a special revelation.
This inversion has led to a fragmentation of human society, a tower of Babel moment that has divided humanity into competing factions, each claiming to possess the ultimate truth.
The authors suggest that this social engineering is a form of alchemy in its own right.
A manipulation of human consciousness and society that seeks to control the future of mankind.
In the final sections of the book, Farrell and De Hart explore the implications of this alchemical agenda for the future of humanity.
They suggest that the ultimate goal of this agenda is the transformation of the entire cosmos into a reflection of human consciousness, a process referred to as the alchemical apocalypse.
This vision, the authors note, is both a promise and a threat.
On one hand, it offers the possibility of a new kind of existence, one that transcends the limitations of our current reality.
On the other hand, it raises profound ethical and moral questions about the nature of humanity and the potential consequences of such a transformation.
In the end, the alchemical agenda is not just a story about the past, But a call to action, a reminder that we are all participants in the great cosmic drama of creation and transformation.
As we navigate the challenges of the twenty-first century, we must ask ourselves, what kind of world do we want to create, and how can we harness the power of alchemy in all its forms to build a future that reflects our highest ideals and aspirations?
This has been a Bright Learn video from brightlearn.ai on the book Transhumanism, A Grimoire of Alchemical Agendas by Dr. Joseph Farrell and Dr. Scott DeHart.
Visit brightlearn.ai for more fascinating videos like this one and visit naturalnews.com for full editorial coverage and breaking news on critical stories that keep you informed and aware of what's really going on.
Okay, the next item I want to discuss here today is how the Trump administration is making seven critical mistakes right now.
Big mistakes.
So big that there was a tipping point today with the CDC nomination and the bombing of Yemen and how the Trump administration has just basically become a puppet of the Israeli Zionists.
And other problems.
So there are seven areas where I'm going to criticize the Trump administration today.
In a special report that talks about how the Trump administration is beginning to unravel into a clown show of incompetence.
I mean, that's what it looks like today after they accidentally invited an editor from The Atlantic to their Signal chat group where they were discussing the bombing details of Yemen on Signal, on the Signal app, carrying out national security defense maneuver updates on freaking Signal.
While they invited an editor of The Atlantic.
I mean, can't make this stuff up.
Clown world is here.
So check out this special report.
It's about 20 minutes, and it is explicit because I'm also peeved about this issue as well.
Trump promised to be the peace president.
All he's done is send more bombs and money to Israel to slaughter civilians, you know?
Pretty sick, actually.
Check out the special report.
Welcome to the special report.
I'm Mike Adams, and this report is entitled, The Trump Administration is Starting to Unravel.
And here I'm going to list seven key points of why I believe the Trump administration is beginning to show extreme failure and incompetence.
And, of course, I've been rooting for the Trump administration, but as you know, I did not vote for Trump.
I did not vote for Trump because of reason number one in this list.
I've got, again, about seven things.
But number one is the fact that Trump campaigned on being the peace president, and yet all he has done is functioned as the war president.
And for the most part, he has been a puppet of the Zionists.
So the Trump administration bows down to every request from Israel and Netanyahu.
In other words, the Trump administration is captured by Israel.
And we've seen this in the confirmation hearings where everybody had to essentially vocalize their loyalty to Israel in order to be confirmed.
And those who had ever questioned Israel, well, their nominations were withdrawn or they were never even considered.
So the entire Trump administration has put Israel first and...
America, somewhere else.
Not first.
And being a peace president means you have to not keep sending bombs to Israel to keep bombing women and children and hospitals, which has continued now for the last week.
Israel has slaughtered hundreds, if not thousands, of additional civilians in Gaza and in Lebanon using U.S. bombs supplied by...
President Trump.
So it's a funny way to be the peace president when you're bombing children.
You know, you would think that by definition, peace would not mean bombing women and children in doctors and hospitals.
But, you know, there you go.
That's what happens when you sell your soul to Israel, and that's what Trump has done.
So, in this whole Yemen situation, this is a catastrophe.
It's not just the national security incompetence, which is My second point here, that's point number two, where you had, I believe it was Mike Waltz that invited an Atlantic editor to join this signal group.
And then in that signal group, they were discussing specifics about bombing campaigns and timetables and discussing reasons why they were bombing Yemen.
I'm going to summarize it here in my own words, but essentially they're bombing Yemen not because they thought the bombing would be effective or not because they thought the American people would even understand what they're trying to do, but rather just to send a message.
to send a message to the world that America can bomb brown people again and to send a message to Europe that, hey, America is working to try to protect lanes, where energy is exported from the Middle East through the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean and then into Europe.
And America is doing the heavy lifting, at least this is the intended message, America is doing the heavy lifting of bombing Yemen to prevent Yemen from attacking U.S.
ships or U.K.
ships. It's not really working, though, by the way, and the U.S.
just looks really weak now when...
So look, the entire U.S. Navy can't defeat Yemen, it turns out.
And what is Yemen actually doing?
Yemen is, believe it or not, Yemen is engaged in a humanitarian intervention to stop a military genocide against the civilians of Gaza.
And what's interesting about this is that this is the exact same justification that the United States has used in the past to intervene in places like Kosovo, for example, or even in Ukraine and Russia right now.
But in countless other countries throughout U.S. history, U.S. has said, well, we have to bomb, we have to launch missiles, we have to strike out because We're helping to save these people.
It's a humanitarian mission.
Remember the war on Iraq?
How was that described?
Oh, it's humanitarian.
We have to free the Iraqi people from their evil, cruel leader, Saddam Hussein.
That was the justification.
Well, Yemen is just using that same playbook and saying, well, we're engaged in humanitarian intervention and we'll stop the attacks on all these ships.
If Israel stops bombing civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, not to mention the West Bank.
That's all Yemen is saying.
You stop the genocide and we stop launching missiles.
But the U.S. can't stand for that because they want Israel to continue the genocide.
So the Trump administration has become a pro-genocide administration that is incompetent in national security and apparently discusses bombing campaigns.
On the Signal app, which is not even secure.
Signal is totally compromised.
Even I know that.
I don't discuss sensitive stuff on Signal.
All my contacts move to other apps.
I mean, come on.
But the Trump administration is using an insecure app that actually goes through servers in another country.
I believe it's a European country.
In order to...
Discuss bombing Yemen, which is just theater in the first place.
So this is just a clown show that's beginning to emerge here.
So those are my first two points.
It's a Zionist control over the Trump administration.
He has failed to be the peace president, as he promised, and his national security people are completely incompetent, and they're discussing military bombing campaigns on an insecure app that has servers.
In some other country that's not even under the control of the United States.
So yeah, clown show time.
Total clown show.
Okay, point number three.
There have been no arrests.
There have been no arrests.
I mean, where's the arrest of Mayorkas?
Where are the charges of treason against the Clintons and against all the deep state national security people?
You know, against James Comey, against Jake Sullivan.
Where are the arrests?
Nowhere. Nowhere to be found.
There are no arrests.
What has Trump done?
Oh, he's revoked their security clearances.
So what?
These people are traitors.
They tried to destroy this country, Mayorkas in particular.
He directed funds to the invasion camps in Panama and other places to literally overrun the United States of America with an invading foreign army of militants.
Known as illegals, that is an act of treason, and all Trump can do is take away his security clearance?
And what took so long on that?
That should have happened on day two.
I mean, are you kidding me?
After all these years of treason, this is all we're going to get?
And then, where are the disclosures?
Where are the Epstein files?
Oh, they're being redacted.
They're being redacted.
By a flurry of FBI agents, they're redacting everything.
So what does that even mean?
Well, they're deleting every mention of Israel, is what they're doing.
Because, of course, the Trump administration is a Zionist puppet clown show.
And they just sold out to Israel.
So they have to delete Israel, delete Mossad, delete Netanyahu.
Because Epstein was obviously an Israeli agent.
And his whole job was to get blackmail material to compromise United States politicians.
Senators, government officials, governors, you name it.
And it worked.
It worked.
Because all that blackmail material is currently held by Mossad, and they've been deploying it against officials right now.
Why do you think everybody's so outspoken in favor of Israel?
Because they're on video.
Because Epstein got them.
Epstein got them.
So, we're never going to get full disclosures at all.
We didn't even get full disclosures of the JFK files.
They held back files that mentioned Israel or ties to Israel.
Some people are still figuring it out anyway.
But look, it's become apparent to a lot of people that this is just a cover-up.
This is just a Trump administration cover-up.
What's called a limited hangout, right?
So they're going to release a little bit of stuff.
Or just theater, oh, here's a binder that says Epstein files on it, and you can claim that it's the Epstein files, but it's just the stuff that was already public, you know?
It's a clown show.
It's another clown show.
And we, the American people, are growing impatient, as you can probably hear in my voice as well, growing impatient over the Trump administration, which has been in office now.
What would that be?
Two months plus, right?
Two months, and nothing's getting done.
In fact, Doge got the most done of all.
Elon Musk was getting things done, and then they kind of shut him down.
You notice that?
They shut him down.
You don't hear Doge cleaning things up as much anymore as they did out of the gate initially.
Doge was doing a great job in shutting down USAID, which I understand has been...
reversed by a court order to reinstate all that slush fund money, and then we didn't hear anything more about it.
And I don't even know.
Is USAID, is it reinstated?
Is it still shut down?
Is it open for business again?
Has the slush fund money, has it all been reactivated now?
I don't know.
Nobody's telling us.
Nobody's telling us.
And anyway, one of the main characteristics of all of this is that The slush funds just shifted from Ukraine to Israel.
So, you know, Trump didn't stop war.
He just shifted the slush fund money from one country to another, you know, from the Ukrainians who were tied to the Bidens to the Zionists who were tied to Trump.
So it's like, oh, well, you know, hey, different day, same shit.
You know, that's what this looks like.
Okay, so there have been no significant arrests.
Where's the arrest of Fauci?
Seriously, when does Fauci go to jail?
What about all these traitors who ran the J6 cover-up?
Where's the arrest of Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, who took part in all of that?
I get the feeling that nothing's going to happen.
That we're going to go through whatever years of Trump where there's going to be no disclosures, no arrests.
Nothing really changes except the slush fund money shifts from the left pocket to the right pocket.
That's really what it's looking like to me.
Alright, point number four.
The liberal left-wing judges are currently blocking everything that Trump is trying to get done.
And for whatever reason, Trump is allowing it to happen.
Now, I know I can't fully blame Trump for this, but he's not being aggressive enough.
Call on the Supreme Court in order to intervene here, but he should be doing much, much more than this.
Number one, he should be disclosing all the dirt on John Roberts.
All the ties, all the dirt, all the blackmail material.
You know that Trump and his team have access to the NSA and all the secret documents and everything.
They should be releasing publicly all the blackmail material.
That is compromising these left-wing judges, all their payments, all their ties, the ties of their wives or husbands or family members to the NGOs and the slush fund money, all of it.
You got to go in 100% here.
You can't just sort of beat around the bush here.
You got to go to war with the deep state by exposing all the corruption.
And so you expose a judge and then you call for him to resign.
And if he doesn't resign, Well, guess what?
You go in there, you arrest him for violating his sworn oath, where he's sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
And if you're a judge that is ordering a plane of violent illegal criminals to be turned around, to be re-imported back into the United States to invade this country, that is an act of treason, and that judge should be arrested.
Trump should be arresting these judges.
Or removing them from the bench and get on with the business of securing our country against these left-wing lunatics.
You notice, by the way, that nobody on the left was complaining when the Biden administration was flying all of these illegals into America, which was, of course, completely illegal.
But the left was like, yay, bring them all in!
Millions being flown in, right?
But then you try to fly them out, and the left loses their minds, and they go, you can't fly them out.
That's illegal.
They have rights.
No, they don't.
They're illegals.
They're not citizens.
They don't even have green cards.
It's not like the students on campus who do have rights because they've been issued residency.
We're talking about illegals that have no permission to be here.
They have no constitutional rights whatsoever.
They have human rights, and we should still treat them with, you know...
Food and water and a cot to sleep on and so on as we're deporting them.
But they don't have America's constitutional rights.
They don't have Second Amendment rights.
They're not citizens.
They're not residents.
They don't have green cards.
They're not students.
Nothing. They're illegals.
They have no such rights.
They do have a right to food and water, like I said.
But they gotta go.
So treat them with dignity as you boot them out of the country.
Here. Here's some water.
Here's some food.
You know, here's a fresh set of clothing and shoes and a blanket, you know?
And, I don't know, give them some MREs, you know?
But you've got to go.
Fly them out.
Okay? And anyway, you can't sit here as president and just allow your entire administration to be delayed by left-wing judges.
That is not going to fly.
So... You can't be in the middle on this.
This reminds me of the first two years of Trump under Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, who basically they locked him in a closet for two years and he didn't even do anything.
He did nothing for two years because he was dumb enough to recuse himself from everything.
It's like, why did we make you Attorney General if you're just going to recuse yourself from everything?
What are you?
A surrogate Attorney General?
Are you a...
Are you a flower on the wall?
Like, what are you?
He was nothing.
And all he did was he stood there and wasted two years of Trump's first administration.
And that's where it looks like it's going right now.
Is Pam Bondi getting anything done?
No, she's too busy showing up on Fox News talking about how I promise the Epstein files are coming.
Yeah, we don't need to hear you keep saying that.
What we need is for you to just release the damn files.
Why is it difficult for these people to understand?
Stop showing up on Fox News.
Just get it done.
Just release the files.
You don't need to redact them.
We're going to be able to guess the redactions anyway.
It's always going to be Israel.
We know.
All right, so next is this.
The new nominee for the CDC is this vaxxer named Susan Monares.
Apparently she's going to be the next director of the CDC.
She was the pro-COVID vaccine deputy director of Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.
Yeah, it's like a vaccine DARPA.
Right, so she oversaw the vaccine weapons experiments, basically.
And Trump's going to put her in as head of CDC.
This is insane.
This is like the worst possible candidate.
This is the Fauci pick.
I mean, this is completely insane.
We should have had Weldon in there.
Trump should have leaned on the senators more.
Weldon would have been great.
But if not Weldon, then Dr. Latipo, who I interviewed, he was the Surgeon General of Florida.
Dr. Latipo should be the director of the CDC.
But no, they've gone to this vax weapon, bioweapons expert, Dr. Monades.
Are you kidding me?
Or Susan Monadas.
I don't think she's a doctor.
I don't know.
But she's a vaccine pusher.
Oh yeah, she is a doctor.
So here's what she said previously.
She said, the updated COVID shot is here.
CDC recommends everyone six months and older get an updated COVID vaccine.
Vaccination remains the best protection against severe illness, she says.
Make your plan now to get your updated COVID and flu shot.
Yeah, in other words, she's a vaccine whore.
Of course she is.
Of course she's a vaccine whore.
So, you know, in addition to Trump going back on his word of being the peace president, he's installing vaccine weapon whores, or vaccine whores with weaponization.
I don't know the correct way to describe that.
An armed whore touting vaccines.
Fully semi-automatic vaccines.
Yeah, as Democrats like to say.
It was a fully semi-automatic weapon.
She's got fully semi-automatic vaccine autoloaders as weapons, and she's a whore.
So that's who's going to be running the CDC.
No different than anything under Biden.
Again, it's just shifting from the left pocket to the right pocket.
We get the same lunatics, the same policies, the same outcome.
Just completely insane.
Donald Trump announced, quote, I am proud to announce that Dr. Susan Monares is my nominee to serve as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
She brings decades of experience.
Yeah, experience building weapons in vaccines.
Trump says Americans have lost confidence in the CDC due to political bias and disastrous management.
Dr. Monares.
We'll work closely with our great Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr.
Together they will prioritize accountability, high standards, and disease prevention.
Yeah, bullshit.
I'm sorry for the profanity, but that's just complete bullshit.
So it's very clear that the Trump administration is just going to be all pro-vaccine, just like it's all pro-Zionist.
So again, nothing has changed.
We're going to get Zionism, we're going to get vaccines, we're going to get bioweapons, we're going to get...
You know, pharma propaganda.
This is beginning to characterize the clown show, which is why I'm saying that the Trump administration is really beginning to unravel.
Okay, point number six.
And this gets to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
And I have to say at this point, nothing significant is really happening at HHS at this point.
I do believe that RFK Jr. has a positive intention here.
I want to be clear.
And I have previously said that we have to have patience with this process.
But I'm running out of patience myself.
And the things that he has done involving like, oh, we're going to remove food dyes from foods and we're going to do something about infant formula.
And people keep saying, oh, he's going to get the metals out of infant formula.
Okay? Well, look.
I happen to be one of the world's preeminent experts on metals in food because I've run a lab for over a decade that does mass spec testing of food samples, off-the-shelf foods.
And my website, naturalnews.com, we published, we talked about corn syrup solids in infant formula back in 2011.
I was covering this over a decade ago.
Well, I have tested infant formula for metals over and over and over again Spanning many years.
And guess what?
There are no alarming levels of metals in infant formula.
You know why?
You know why?
Because it's processed junk food.
And the more processed it is, the lower amount of metals and minerals that you will find in any food.
And what's the number one ingredient in infant formula?
Corn syrup solids.
Are there heavy metals in corn syrup?
No. There are not.
You can test all the corn syrup you want.
You're not going to find lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, anything.
Nickel. No, you're not going to find any significant level at all.
Not even close.
You'll be lucky to find a few parts per billion, which is nothing for lead.
But everybody, the whole public is just, oh, we've got to get the metals out of infant formula.
And so RFK Jr. announces, we're going to have a new thing to really look at metals in infant formula.
And I'm sitting here saying, That's a complete waste of time.
There are no metals in infant formula.
I can already save you five years, okay?
Metals are not the problem.
The problem is corn syrup and milk proteins and seed oils, like safflower oil, crap like that.
Pro-inflammation, pro-diabetes ingredients are like one, two, and three in infant formula.
Metals are not the problem.
The problem is...
It's a processed junk food, pro-diabetes, pro-inflammation cocktail of just poison for infants.
That's the problem.
But I haven't seen RFK Jr. announce anything about getting corn syrup solids out of infant formula.
In fact, very few people are talking about that.
Some are, but most are not.
And so the things that Secretary Kennedy is getting done so far have been In my opinion, inconsequential.
Now maybe he's got some big surprises, an ace up his sleeve that's coming.
There's a rumor that he's looking to ban direct-to-consumer drug advertising, but that's just a rumor.
It was actually a hoax perpetrated on X. It didn't come from Secretary Kennedy, from any official account.
So I don't even think that's happening.
Not at the moment.
Now that should happen, and if Secretary Kennedy did that, That would be huge.
That would be worth the whole nomination right there.
Because that would end Big Pharma's control over the corporate media.
And that's exactly what needs to happen.
So I'm going to hold out hope for Secretary Kennedy to ban direct-to-consumer drug ads.
And I'm going to also hope that he will yank the licenses of the COVID vaccines.
Which were never proven safe or effective.
In fact, it's been proven they're not safe and they're not effective.
They don't prevent transmission and they don't prevent infections.
They should be pulled off the market right now.
And the whole measles hoax was rolled out to try to force his hand and to try to paint anti-vaxxers as dangerous.
Of course, it was a measles false flag operation.
The whole thing was a giant hoax.
We've already covered that.
But Secretary Kennedy, I hope and pray that he's doing the best he can, and I'll try to have patience with this process.
I will try.
Dear Lord, give me the patience to see this through and give Secretary Kennedy the strength to fight against Big Pharma.
And dear Lord, give Trump the power to reverse the clown show, which brings me to point number seven.
And I'm sorry about the profanity, but we have to talk about Trump's shit coins.
So, this is where the clown show really goes full clown.
So, in my opinion, no president of the United States or any significant country should be involved in any crypto coin, like meme coin, or they should not be, they shouldn't have a stake in a crypto project when they are the president.
But as you recall, right after the election or when he was sworn in, I forgot the exact day, there was a Trump meme coin, a shit coin, and then there was a Melania shit coin, and these were launched.
And all of us who are serious about crypto, we laughed and laughed.
We're like, oh, who's dumb enough to buy these things?
And apparently there were people dumb enough to buy them.
Well, now Trump's companies are about to do a deal with Crypto.com.
And they're going to launch some kind of a crypto ETF, which is a shit version of a shit coin.
So an ETF means you're buying paper that is an IOU to a shit coin.
So when you buy an ETF of a shit coin, you're not even getting the coin, even though it's shit.
You're not taking possession of the coin.
Again, sorry about the profanity, but it fits here.
Remember what Johnny Cochran said, if the glove fits, the coin is shits.
So an ETF means you have an IOU.
You have bought an IOU to a coin.
You don't have possession.
It's not in your wallet, not your keys, not your crypto, right?
So who is dumb enough to buy an ETF of crypto?
Who is dumb enough to do that?
And the answer is the same morons that were dumb enough to buy Trump's shit coins.
And apparently there's a lot of those people.
So this makes Trump look like a carnival barker.
You know, I'm sorry to say it.
This is so unpresidential.
It makes Trump look like a huckster.
And he should ditch all this.
He should get out of the shitcoin business, out of the ETF business.
I mean, it's just embarrassing.
Come on.
I mean, I understand.
Owning hotels and casinos and golf courses and what have you.
I mean, those are real businesses that people go visit and spend money there.
But to promote a bunch of shitcoins and a bunch of ETFs on a bunch of shitcoins, and then I can just see this is going to be the next big Ponzi, you know?
It's going to be like, hey, everybody buy in and we're all going to get rich.
And how are we going to get rich?
Well, we're going to sell each other, you know, tulips, digital tulips, ETF tulips.
You know, tulip bulb mania.
That's what this is.
And it's just very unpresidential.
It's very unprofessional.
It's fiscal sanity.
It doesn't belong anywhere in the Trump administration.
Frankly, it just looks childish and silly.
So those are my seven points.
And obviously the answer to all of this, in my opinion, if Trump wants to get serious...
And get something done and actually save America?
Then he needs to do seven things to correct the seven problems.
Like, number one, he needs to treat Netanyahu the way that he treated Zelensky.
He needs to tell Netanyahu to go pound sand, stop sending bombs, stop sending money to Israel, shut it down.
Number two, stop bombing Yemen.
And, of course, if you stop sending bombs to Israel, Yemen will stop attacking ships.
Problem solved!
You don't need to bomb Yemen.
The sea lanes will be open.
Number three, you've got to start arresting the traitors.
And you have to disclose the Epstein files and no more sleight-of-hand tricks.
No more promises and teasers.
Flirting with the people.
Oh, it's coming tomorrow.
Yes, it's coming tomorrow.
No, wait a minute.
It's on my desk.
Now it's on my desk.
And the next day, oh, it's in my hands.
Now it's in my hands.
The next day.
I'm wiping my mouth with the Epstein files during lunch.
Like, I was eating a cheeseburger, and grease from the cheeseburger ran down my lip, and I wiped my lip with the Epstein files.
That's how close they are now.
So close.
And it's just ridiculous.
It's like, we don't need stories.
Just release the damn files, for God's sake.
Point number four.
You gotta shut down the judges that are the traitors.
Expose them, arrest them, remove them.
If you don't do that, you lose the country, okay?
Point number five.
Stop putting vaccine weaponizers and child murderers into positions at the CDC and the FDA and inside HHS, etc.
You got to give Secretary Kennedy some people he can work with.
Get Dr. Latipo in there at the CDC.
He'll do some good.
Put in Dr. Jack Cruz.
You know what I'm saying?
Make Jack Cruz head of NIH.
How about that?
Get some things done.
He probably would refuse to even go to Washington, D.C., as I would, too, because, you know, who wants that toxic stew?
Okay, and then number six.
Something's got to get done at HHS.
Secretary Kennedy has got to ban drug ads, and he's got to revoke the COVID vaccines.
Those two things have got to get done.
And then number seven.
Trump's got to drop the shitcoins.
He's got to dump the shitcoins.
And if he can't dump the shitcoins, then no one's going to take him seriously.
And probably after he's out of office, he'll probably be prosecuted for running a Ponzi scheme, you know?
Because lawfare is going to target him again.
He's just handing them a case against him.
You know, a case of...
Potential fraud and money laundering and whatever else.
So get out of the crypto realm for God's sake and just help save America.
So these are the seven things that Trump needs to correct, in my opinion.
And if he doesn't, well, then we're going to lose this republic.
But I figure we're going to anyway because the whole thing is going to collapse.
It's going to collapse when the dollar collapses.
Trump will probably accelerate that process, maybe even on purpose in some ways.
But yeah, the dollar is going to collapse, the U.S. empire will collapse, and out of that then maybe we'll have an opportunity to build the new America or the next society, whatever that looks like.
It might be more regional, but I don't think the United States of America, as we know it, I don't think it survives much longer.
In fact, my prediction is that it doesn't survive.
To the end of this year in its current state.
That's been my longstanding prediction.
We'll see if it comes true.
You can certainly see the seams starting to burst here.
You can see the cracks in the dam, so to speak.
It's starting to look pretty bad.
So, there you go.
Get prepared.
And I hope I'm wrong about...
Well, how could I?
I mean, I'm just telling you what's actually happening.
But I hope that these can be corrected.
So we'll see.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here, The Health Ranger, NaturalNews.com, and also Brighteon.com.
And you can follow more of my videos, interviews, and book reviews at Brighteon.com.
Thank you for listening.
All right, now I've got a BrightLearn AI book review video for you that is called Deep Survival, Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why?
by Lawrence Gonzalez.
I thought I would bring you this survival book review because things are going south pretty rapidly.
A dollar is going to collapse at some point here.
We might end up in a war with Iran.
The economy is sinking.
That's understandable because cutting off all the slush fund money is going to have short-term consequences.
It will recover, but right now things are looking pretty dicey.
And it looks like the radical left is going to stage an armed...
Uprising, some kind of kinetic revolt against the Trump administration or against conservatives in general.
Certainly they're already attacking Tesla vehicles and Tesla dealerships, which is, of course, domestic terrorism.
And the radical left, they're so outraged by the fact that Doge is cutting off their slush fund money that they're probably going to accelerate this and crank up their attacks if they can.
Survival strategies make sense in a big way in this scenario.
So check out this book review video, 7 Minutes, Deep Survival, Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why by Lawrence Gonzalez.
Welcome back to another episode of the podcast where we dive into the fascinating world of human resilience and survival.
Today we're exploring a book that's as gripping as it is enlightening.
Deep Survival, Who Lives.
Who Dies and Why?
by Lawrence Gonzalez.
This isn't just a book about survival.
It's a deep dive into the human psyche, revealing the intricate dance between reason and emotion that determines who makes it out alive and who doesn't.
So, grab your metaphorical survival kit, and let's get started.
The prologue of the book opens with a story that's both harrowing and awe-inspiring.
It's the tale of Gonzalez's father, Federico.
A World War II pilot who miraculously survived a catastrophic plane crash.
Picture this.
At 23, Federico was on his 25th and final mission, eager to trade his B-17 bomber for the sleek P-51 Mustang fighter planes.
But fate had other plans.
His plane was hit by German anti-aircraft fire, and in a heartbeat, he was spiraling towards the earth in a crippled aircraft.
Federico's survival wasn't just a matter of luck.
It was a testament to his training, his quick thinking, and his ability to stay calm under pressure.
As the plane plummeted, he managed to bail out.
Despite the chaos and the lack of a comfortable parachute harness, he blacked out from hypoxia, only to wake up severely injured but alive, with a German peasant pointing a gun at him.
Talk about a close call.
This story sets the stage for the book's central theme.
Survival isn't just about equipment or training.
It's about the complex interplay between our rational minds and our primal instincts.
delves into the science of survival, exploring how our brains are wired for both reason and emotion.
He explains that while reason is slow and deliberate, emotion is fast and instinctive.
"'In survival situations,' This emotional response can be a double-edged sword.
It can save your life, like when it triggers the fight-or-flight response, or it can lead to disastrous decisions, like when fear overwhelms logic.
He illustrates this with the story of a fighter pilot who, despite being highly trained and experienced, crashed his plane because his emotional response to the situation overrode his rational thinking.
This highlights a crucial point.
In high-stakes situations, the ability to manage your emotions is just as important as technical skills.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the book is Gonzales' exploration of the role of humor and play in survival.
He argues that those who can find humor in dire situations are more likely to survive.
This isn't just about cracking jokes.
It's about maintaining a light-hearted attitude that keeps fear at bay and allows for clear thinking.
He cites the example of fighter pilots who use dark humor as a coping mechanism.
This humor serves a purpose.
It helps them stay calm and focused, even in the face of extreme danger.
It's a reminder that survival isn't just about physical endurance.
It's about mental resilience.
Gonzalez introduces the concept of mental models, which are essentially our brain's way of making sense of the world.
These models are shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and expectations.
In survival situations, they can be both a blessing and a curse.
On one hand, they help us make quick decisions based on past experiences.
on the other hand they can lead to dangerous assumptions if we fail to adapt to changing circumstances he uses the tragic example of the climbers on mount hood who relied on their mental models of previous climbs ignoring the warning signs of an impending avalanche It can also be a trap if we fail to remain open to new information.
Gonzalez emphasizes the importance of training and preparation in survival.
He argues that while modern equipment and technology can be helpful, they are not a substitute for a well-trained mind and body.
He cites the example of astronauts who undergo rigorous training to prepare for the unpredictable nature of space travel.
This training instills in them a mindset of adaptability and resilience, which is crucial for survival.
He also highlights the importance of learning from past mistakes.
By studying accident reports and learning from the experiences of others, we can better prepare ourselves for the challenges we may face.
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the book is Gonzales' exploration of the concept of positive mental attitude, or PMA.
He argues that PMA is not just a feel-good slogan.
It's a critical component of survival.
Those who maintain a positive outlook, even in the face of overwhelming odds, are more likely to survive.
He illustrates this with the story of Stephen Callahan, who survived adrift at sea for 76 days.
Callahan's ability to remain calm, focused, and optimistic was a key factor in his survival.
This highlights the importance of mental fortitude in survival situations.
Deep survival is a fascinating exploration of the human capacity for resilience.
It challenges us to rethink our assumptions about survival and to recognize the crucial role that our mental and emotional states play in determining our fate.
Whether you're an adventurer, a weekend warrior, or someone who simply wants to be better prepared for life's challenges, this book offers valuable insights into the art and science of survival.
So, what's the takeaway?
Survival is not just about physical strength or technical skill.
It's about adaptability, resilience, and the ability to maintain a positive outlook.
It's about being aware of your mental models, managing your emotions, and learning from the experiences of others.
And most importantly, it's about believing that anything is possible.
Thank you for joining me on this journey into the heart of survival.
I hope this episode has inspired you to think about your own approach to life's challenges and to cultivate the qualities that make a true survivor.

You can put on a Faraday beanie and you can block the EMF from penetrating your skull.
No kidding.
You can find all that, again, sat123.com or healthrangerstore.com slash escape.
All right, with that said, we're going to go to today's interview, which is with Rob and Jim Gale from Food Forest Abundance.
We're talking about food forestry today.
And this is a special interview that we filmed last week that I think you'll find very inspiring.
It's part of our Decentralized TV program with my co-host Todd Pitner.
And this is not the full interview.
It's a partial interview, but it's a really good part.
So enjoy it, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
All right, we've got some new things to share with you here, including my new music album, which we'll talk about in a second.
But we have a new docu-series available at brightu.com, which is Brighton University.
It's called Feel Good Gut Health, and it's all about supporting your gut health.
And that is running starting March 22nd.
And if you sign up for it, it's free to watch.
Of course, you always have the option to purchase it if you want, or you don't have to.
You can just...
Watch one episode every day as it goes on a loop each 24 hours, and you can watch the whole thing for free.
That's at BrightU.com.
Now, at our store, HealthRangerStore.com, we have an assortment of really high-end products.
Some of them are just back in stock that can help also support your natural gut health.
And I put a little collection on my desk here.
Let me show you.
We've got Fermented Super 30. That's on the left side there with the orange label.
That is 30 foods and superfoods that are fermented to really express the full nutrient properties of those foods.
It's a powder that you can mix in with smoothies and other things.
We've also got a probiotic drink mix with kombucha.
We have cherry and we have pomegranate flavors.
That's what you're seeing there.
Those are available right now.
HealthRangerStore.com We have NAC capsules, which is really crucial for supporting your body's natural detoxification.
Which is also part of supporting your gut health.
You have to detoxify your gut, detoxify your blood.
And there are a number of strategies for that, but NAC can help support that natural process.
Then we have a new and really popular oat milk product, which has no guar gum, no carrageene, and it doesn't have any thickeners, and it doesn't have any calcium carbonate in it whatsoever.
Because a lot of other oat milk products out there, you're actually drinking chalk.
They literally just put chalk in it.
That's what calcium carbonate is to make it milky and white.
So if you don't want to drink chalk but you love oat milk, then get our oat milk at healthrangerstore.com.
It's completely chalk-free and carrageenan-free as well.
You're going to love it.
We've got clean chlorella there in a couple of different forms.
Chlorella has a very strong capability of supporting detoxification.
And helping to clean out your gut.
Just, you know, read the label and consume it as directed.
And remember, all of this is part of the Feel Good Gut Health theme that we have going on right now.
So go to brightu.com to sign up for Feel Good Gut Health.
That's free.
One other thing I want to show you is that my music album is now available.

One thing that's missing is I Want My Bailout Money.
But I've got another song that I'm working on right now called All Our Dreams Come True.
And I just brought a little speaker.
I'm just going to play a few seconds of that new song, which will also be available at Spotify and Apple Music and iTunes and iHeart Radio.
And did I say Amazon?
I want to play for you a little snippet of the new song that's coming out.
It's about human liberty and freedom.
I just want to play a little bit of the chorus and the first verse for you here.
So we'll do this and then that'll be the conclusion of this video.
Here we go.
If we could comply our way to freedom Then we could bomb our way to peace We could print our way to riches Give away everything for free If we could tax our way to liberty And lie our way to truth Then tyrants in big government Would make all our dreams come true All
right, folks, that's a little bit of that song, a little teaser.
That's coming out soon.
Be sure to follow my album at Spotify or other music services.

Welcome to today's episode for our Decentralized TV docu-series.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.com, free speech video platform.
And my co-host for our show now more than one year running is Todd Pitner.
Welcome, Todd, to the show today.
This is going to be a fun one, huh?
Oh, this is going to be great.
Returning guests and his new partner in crime.
This is going to be a lot of fun.
I think it'll be very substantive for people who like freedom.
Oh, yeah.
And who like...
The freedom of food.
Right. Yeah, totally.
So let's just bring them in.
We have Jim Gale and Rob Yunkin from foodforestabundance.com.
Welcome, both of you, to the show today.
Thank you, Mike.
Thank you, Todd.
Pleasure to be here again.
I'm actually coming to you from Wonderfield, Florida.
And Winterfield Farms here where there's a rogue food conference with John Moody and Joel Salatin and a bunch of other incredible freedom lovers sharing the good stuff.
Rogue food conference.
All right.
And Rob, quick introduction for you.
You're the CEO of Food Forest Abundance, correct?
That's correct.
And we have Food Forests and Freedom Farm Academies worldwide.
I'm located here in Wilmington, North Carolina at my own little food forest.
Oh, wow.
Okay, that's awesome.
All right, so gentlemen, what we want to do today, and Todd's got the outline, but the overall emphasis I just want to remind our audience is you're going to learn practical things during this interview, things that can help you decentralize your food supply.
And let me mention up front that our food supply is under attack.
They're slaughtering egg-laying chickens left and right.
They're still spraying pesticides in chemtrails.
There's still geoengineering.
Our food supply is under attack.
And if you don't realize that, you're behind the curve.
So this show here today, this episode for this series, is going to teach you some practical things that you can do to start growing more of your own food.
So that said, Todd, it's all yours.
Let's go.
Well, as you know, we interviewed Jeff or Jim as our fourth guest almost two years ago, it seems.
I think it is.
Wow. It's crazy.
Wait a minute.
It is almost two years.
I thought it was one year, but no.
No, sir.
Almost two years we've been at this.
And after that interview, I was so inspired.
I hired foodforestabundance.com to install.
My personal food forest.
And, you know, I have captured the entire journey and part of the docu-series with the bonus content.
We're going to do a little behind-the-scenes.
It's going to be great for those who like that kind of stuff.
I'm also going to visit Galt's Landing this weekend and take a little tour with Jim and be able to share that with everyone.
But it inspired me so much.
That I want to do everything possible to evangelize what Jim and Rob are all about.
And I know you two too, Mike.
Jim. Wait, wait, Todd.
I'm sorry.
Let me interrupt.
Your food forest also survived Hurricane Milton.
It was flooded and it still survived.
And you survived a pretty bad freeze, wasn't it, too?
Well, that's the story.
Two hurricanes, the food forest survived.
The freeze really, really, you know, killed off seven of my fruit trees.
But over the last month, through foodforestabundance.com, I've hit Control-Alt-Delete on those trees.
I have fresh, new, mature trees.
Paid a little extra to be able to do something more mature, and I'm really super excited about them.
But that's all part of the journey, you know?
Nature gives, nature takes back, and, you know.
So I'm happy, and I'll share a little bit of that in the bonus material.
But Jim, I asked for you to send a little bit of outline for this initial interview, and the first thing that you two wrote was, food forests grow freedom, security, and weeds out centralized tyranny.
Music to our ears.
Can you unpack that, please, the two of you?
Yeah, Rob, if you don't mind, I'll give it a start here because I'm kind of the general thinker and Rob is really good at the details.
What I know for certain after the obsession of asking the question, how do we win this war and how do we catalyze a shift in awareness that leads to mass adoption of stewardship?
Stewardship! Simply loving on and working with and collaborating with our natural environment, when we achieve mass adoption of the most logical thing we could ever do, then and only then will we truly be free and we will have abundance everywhere.
Amen. Jim?
Rob? Yeah, and how do we do it is anywhere.
You can grow in a little tiny condo on your deck with a little bit of sunlight or with grow lights inside.
If you have a quarter acre or more, you can sign up for Food Forest, and we'll come and design it with you, do a site visit, and get it professionally installed so that you can start growing your own food and unplug from that nasty, centralized, poison-filled chemical food system, as well as do something good for Mother Earth.
Replenish your soil.
The perennialization that we stress with food forests, you know, everybody thinks of growing food in their backyard, tomato plants, annuals, but perennials actually do wonders for your soil health.
And that microbiome below the surface, we don't see it, but that's part of our mission is millions and billions of those little creepy crawlers doing your work for you.
And as Jim will show you at Galt's on Sunday, Todd.
It really takes very little maintenance, and you get that massive benefit of food every time.
Can I point out, too, that I love what you guys do, which is you offer both a service for people who want it installed for them, but you also offer a lot of educational material for people who want to take on any aspect of that themselves.
And that's what I love about what you do.
It's like you pick how many wheelbarrows you want to move of compost material or whatever, or how many plants you want to buy.
But you also teach people, and this conversation is also largely focused on what people can do Absolutely. You know, it's so easy to grow food.
In fact, I don't grow any food.
Nature does all of the hard work.
What we do, if you've got a closet, you can get some soil, talk to a local.
A local nursery.
Get some soil.
You could put sweet potato starts in that soil with some grow lights and some fans.
It's not ideal because the sun and nature is ideal, but it'll still work, right?
The sun and the water and the light will turn soil into food.
Isn't that magical?
It is.
100%. You know what I love?
Yeah, Todd, go ahead.
You know what I love, gentlemen, is as I've been involved with this and preparing for this interview and preparing for the weekend to meet with you, is the notion of 1 plus 1 plus 1 doesn't equal 3. It equals 111.
I want everybody to know that Jim and Rob, they have five years of content that is ultimately...
In process of being fed into Mike Adams' LLM so that ultimately you're going to be able to query.
So when you talk about being able to do certain DIY projects, that is going to be free to you to be able to query and prompt and get the answers.
And it's going to be all based on permaculture.
Jim, I would love for you to share with us what is permaculture versus gardening?
Permaculture is stewardship.
It's really the same thing.
It's following nature's principles to observe and interact with what works in the natural system and then take feedback and then make changes.
It's really that simple.
Rob? Yeah, it really is.
Permaculture is a lot of perennials and you don't need to disturb that soil.
I come from a little bit of an agricultural background.
There's this constant thinking between gardeners and big farmers that you need to till up your soil and turn it over all the time.
Well, you're destroying that microbiome beneath the surface that's actually going to do a lot of that work for you.
There's a lot of reasons people come up with why not to perennialize and grow a food forest.
But the reasons why are that once you get it established, and you know this Todd firsthand, The biggest payoff is that food sovereignty and you build it little by little, season by season with every harvest.
Mike, what are your thoughts?
I'm curious because you have a ranch and on your ranch, I know that you've planted lots of different Plants, vegetables, fruit trees, etc.
How have you managed it?
Did you have to be a master gardener to pull all of that off, Mike?
Well, no.
I made a lot of mistakes along the way.
I learned it the hard way.
But, you know, it's funny.
Here in Texas, the biggest challenge we have is getting water to the plants.
And so I became a master plumber in irrigation systems.
That's for sure.
Like, we've got plenty of sunlight, you know.
Mother Nature does its work, like Jim said.
But what I found out, and I've been trying to share this information with everybody, is that for irrigation plumbing, I don't know about you guys, but I've gone with PEX lines for everything.
And I have the PEX expansion tool made by Milwaukee.
And I use the PEX expander fittings.
So I don't use any PVC.
I don't use any glue or chemicals in any fittings.
What I do is I have PEX lines that go to faucets, like regular garden hose faucets.
And that way, when I put a fitting together, I can use it in five minutes.
I don't have to wait for glue or anything.
I can put water pressure into it.
And then the other thing that I have learned, I'll pass along, is that this took some effort, but I sank a well pump into my pond, and that provides the water for the irrigation system.
So I'm actually getting, like, Sort of fish poop-infused pond water, which is really rainwater, to all the plants, and it's like night and day.
So if you can avoid using city water and avoid well water if you can.
Well water, as you know, you guys know, it's usually got way too much in the way of minerals.
It's often too alkaline.
You've got to treat it.
But if you can use pond water...
You don't have to even really filter it.
You just pump it through the pipes and to the plants.
That's what I do.
So what do you think about that, Jim?
Is that a good solution?
That is the way.
It's so much better for the plants than well water.
And also, a pond is such a multifunctional system.
We put seven species of fish in our pond.
Sunnies, crappies, bass, catfish, mosquito, minnows, fatheads, and shiners.
And we have a whole ecosystem in there.
And then we use the water from the pond to fertigate the food forest on a solar-activated timer with PEX.
And it just happens automatically.
So you push a button once and it's done.
That's great.
You and I came to the same conclusion.
It's like there's no better water than the fish water.
That's it.
Plants love it.
I want to insert right now that there's probably a lot of people watching who might be thinking this is too big of an idea for them.
And, hey, by the way, I live in an HOA.
Well, I want to let you know that that battle has gone before you.
I battled my HOA for months to get the approval.
But you know what?
I was on the right side of the law.
And there is a letter that has been created that anybody out there who would like to install a food forest in their backyard They can work with Jim and the team, and they have that letter.
So please don't let an HOA get in the way of you growing food versus poisonous grass.
And the other thing I want to let you know is that there are alternatives if you do not have a pond in your back property, and most of us don't, but you do have a roof.
And so what Jim and team did is they designed into my food forest these water catchment containers.
I have four of them, so I have almost 1,500 gallons of water that is used to water my food force, and I wanted to do that even though I could irrigate it with the city water, but I don't want to spray that crappy water on my food, right? And the last thing I just want to touch on before we unpack is...
Permaculture, the way that I know it now, having installed mine, is it is a design system that every plant is strategically placed next to And they help each other.
It's like teamwork.
So you have what's in the ground that's close to the ground that is doing its nitrogen fixing and it's helping the fruit tree.
And then the fruit tree, when it drops its fruit or leaves and whatnot, it's helping the ground cover.
And it just all works.
You do not have to be a gardener.
You set it.
And you forget it and you allow it to ultimately be food for your body.
But in the meantime, until you get there, I swear every single day you walk out there and it's food for your soul.
Jim? Oh God, that's such a beautiful point, Todd.
The food for your soul point cannot be overstated.
I am called all day long to go outside into the food forest and just be with it because it's a living system and it invites the birds and the butterflies and the sounds and the smells and the tastes.
It's literally a sentient system of free energy.
And when I say free energy, I mean literally every single fruit tree creates massive amounts of exponential free energy, calories and energy that you can even turn into fuels.
It's true.
You know, it's such an incredible asset, and I was just alerted.
This is really relevant.
I was just alerted right now that gold, as we were recording this, gold just hit an all-time high.
And yet, here it is, 2,988, and yet, you can't eat gold.
You can't eat your gold.
Now, look, I'm pro-gold.
I'm pro-gold, but I used to live in Taiwan, and I had some of the old-timers there told me a story post-World War II where there was no food available, and it was actually a Japanese occupation of Taiwan at the time, and there was no food available, and people...
They would trade an entire apartment building for one duck to eat.
Whoa. So, yeah, they would trade like their house, which in Taiwan is usually like a concrete, you know, multi-story building.
They would trade a house for a duck.
So think about the real gold is the food forest.
That's real gold.
It's wealth.
It's the foundation of wealth.
All this other stuff.
Wonderful or not, I own gold and silver.
I love gold and silver as a store of value.
But the ultimate store of value is the food-producing plants and the animals that are all around us that create the foundation of wealth and freedom.
And we have declared that we are free and we do not comply with any government, no taxation, no permissions.
We simply voluntarily steward the land and then we serve our community with our surplus.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
And Rob, you know, I want to ask you, because isn't it amazing that in a world where the people always have to pay royalties or they have to buy, you know, prescription medications, have to pay that crazy inflated prices, but Mother Nature and God gives it to us for free.
All we have to do is set it up to harness that, and it's a free gift from the cosmos.
Yeah, and Mother Earth is standing by to assist.
If I can, can I share my screen and show you guys what we do for our design work?
You guys were just talking about...
Yeah, go ahead.
Are you able to share it?
There you go.
And this is a design for our most important objective right now, which is Freedom Farm Academies.
Think of those as hubs that create spokes of food for us.
So local food banks, if you will, of unlocking that earth's potential.
And here, to Todd's point, here's the water assessments that we do.
We have a team of designers, a crack team of amazing people around the world who will go to this level of detail, assess the land you've got, and see what it can do for you.
And then you can see here, plot out exactly that placement that Todd was talking about, of what will be most beneficial in your area.
Not to mention...
Native plants in your area because you don't want to be bringing in stuff from other climate zones or that won't work with your soil type.
So this is exactly what you get when you sign up for a food forest or a Freedom Farm Academy.
And these Freedom Farm Academies are really designed for creating community in the local area off of the land and the bounty that we get, the abundance.
Different ways to, you know, create revenue streams as well.
You know, we're just talking about gold, but as long as the dollar is, you know, the forced currency in use, the legal tender, this is a way where you can deliver to your community not only plant starts, but education.
We're starting the first school down at Galt's Landing with Jim, and that'll be replicable to all Freedom Farm Academies out there.
As well as agritourism and Airbnbs, just like Jim has at Galt's Landing.
So this is just another layer of what Food Forest Abundance can do for you, and it's going to be all tied into our launch of Origins Reclaimed Network.
Can you pull up the design you all did for me so everybody can see how it was?
You don't have it.
I'm sorry if I interrupted Mike.
You do your whistle thing.
Sorry. No, that's quite all right.
But Todd, I know you're going to be showing us your food for us in some bonus material.
So like a walkthrough tour would be great.
Like what's working and what's not working.
But what I wanted to ask Rob was, for an audience member that's listening and they feel a little bit overwhelmed by this, what is the first simple food item that most people in North America I'm going to go with my favorite sweet potato.
Jim has, I don't know, a billion sweet potatoes growing down there at Galt in what was just sandy soil.
I can grow them here in coastal North Carolina.
I'm outside of Wilmington.
And with a little bit of water, you can grow them in Texas, Arizona.
They take and the abundance that they offer, these giant clusters of five, sometimes ten pound sweet potatoes that you can pull out of the ground.
Wow. Okay.
So sweet potatoes, but they love sandy soil.
And so you're perfectly set up, Jim, for the sweet potatoes there.
What about people who don't have a yard, indoor?
You did mention potatoes earlier, but what's the simplest thing they can grow indoors, you think?
Oh gosh, so we have a fella coming to Galt's Landing, his name is Eric Heinzelman, and he was the head chef at Planet Hollywood, and he opened up multiple stores nationwide, and he has on his deck, which is like 8x10,
he's got like 22 different herbs and spices and small trees, and not only is his deck the most beautiful deck on the second floor of a condo, until he moves to Galt's, But it's also cooler and it's a lot tastier and a lot more functional.
Okay, quick question.
Which compass direction does his deck face or like what's the optimal facing?
Is it south?
Well, actually optimal might be south up here in the northern hemisphere, but there are a lot of plants that do not like the full sun.
So you just have to, with permaculture, you have to ask what plants go well in this zone and in this microclimate.
Got it.
Okay, great, great answer.
Todd, back to you.
Yeah, when they designed mine, they actually selected the plants based upon, they literally came out.
I don't think they come out to everybody's property to do this, but assessed the path of the sun, and they determined exactly what to put where.
And I think they probably nailed it.
I'd give them a 90% grade on it.
There's one area that's just kind of not liking much of anything, but I think that's probably the case on any property, for whatever reason.
Maybe we don't even know why.
Maybe somebody's buried under there.
I could jump in real briefly on that.
Typically, when a development is done, they take...
Tons and tons of soil and dirt and whatever.
Sometimes they'll bury all of their junk in a particular area.
That's true.
They'll do that.
Yeah. So it really depends on what's in the ground.
And then we have the solutions to heal the soil to take out the chemicals and transmute them to something that's bioavailable.
Yeah, that's huge.
I'm going to insert in here cassava, baby.
Cassava. That is a prosperous plant that I had never eaten before in my life.
Did harvest a ton like a month ago, and you peel those bad boys, you chop them up, and you boil them for 25 minutes to get all the whatever out of them, and then you mash them up.
You don't need a thing to eat those like mashed potatoes.
Literally, it's one of the best things I've ever tasted.
So that is a winner if you want to get abundance right away.
Well, Todd, I'll add to that.
When I lived in South America, If you have the right climate, we grew tons of yucca root.
The only mistake that you can make is leaving it in the ground too long where it gets a little stringy.
But other than that, you can't go wrong with yucca root.
All these tubers and the sweet potatoes that Rob mentioned and so on.
These are carbohydrate calories that you get for free with almost no effort.
See, we have to talk about this.
I know, Jim, you're an expert on this.
You're all aware of this.
But Jim, talk to us about the effort versus calorie output ratio.
Like, why that also matters.
Mike, that's such a beautiful question.
So I'll give you a real-life example.
So I brought a local pastor, Pastor Ross, who runs one of the biggest churches in our area.
And we invited him to Goss Landing to show him what stewardship feels like.
Because his huge church is surrounded by a lawn.
And he instantly got it.
And so we gave him a sweet potato start.
And I said, hey, kick a hole in the ground and throw some dirt over it with your foot.
Take 20 seconds and kick a hole and see what happens.
Well, four months later, he was so inspired that he invited Christopher Allison and I. Chris was the security team leader at the Pentagon for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.
He's now my partner, along with Robin and others.
And he invited us to his parish to give sweet potato starts to every family in his community.
And this is what we need to do, is create local, self-reliant communities that if the food supply chain fails, We have a local system to solve that problem.
That's right.
That's perfect.
Rob, you want to add to that some other things people can do?
Yeah, I mean, those sweet potato slips are, what, six inches long, a little piece of grass that looks like.
You shove it in the ground and you get 20 pounds.
So you talk about the caloric yield.
You get that big cluster and you can feed your whole family.
The other things are fruits.
I think berries and fruit trees.
One of my favorite things is telling the kids, go pick your breakfast.
There's no need for any kind of hassle in the mornings, no Eggo waffles or anything that's all poison-filled.
Just go pick some berries.
Yeah. Well, that brings up a question that I have, which is, and Todd, jump in anytime, but when you're advocating for food for us, how much do you focus on food?
Just using really local, even indigenous plants that are already there, already proven in that area.
Yeah, it's essential.
They're naturally suited for your ecosystem, your hardiness zone per the USDA.
I'm in an 8B here.
Jim's a little bit warmer down there, so it doesn't get much frost.
It's imperative that you have the right plants in the right soil, in the right geolocation.
And our team of designers has that down pat.
Right now, they're all doing it the hard way, you know, by crunching the numbers themselves.
But with your LLM, Mike...
It's going to unlock a whole new potential of still having that human touch.
So if you buy a Freedom Farm Academy package or Food Forest, you're still going to have a designer, a human being, walking you through it.
But they're going to do all the heavy lifting with the LLM, spit out this beautiful design that takes all those factors into account.
And then you just get to get that human.
And even if you have a site visit, you can assess it.
All on the ground and map it out yourself.
You can do a DIY install or you can have a professional installer come down to your property and it's really just you sit back and drink lemonade and watch the whole beauty of Earth come out.
Beautiful. I just want to touch on some things that I've learned that when you all designed my food for us, I believe you had...
Four banana trees.
You had maybe a half dozen cassava plants.
And as these cassavas grow, I learned about chop and drop, which is when it becomes very robust and a lot of leaves and whatever, you just chop that thing down and you just go feed your fruit trees.
You just lay them down, right?
So you aren't taking them out to the garbage to be taken away.
They become the food for your food forest, right?
But then the cassava, you chop the trunks into one-foot sections, and you just go bury them under the grass somewhere, or not the grass, somewhere in the food forest, and boom!
You turn around, click your heels, and about three weeks later, there's another cassava plant growing there.
My bananas, in just the 18 months, I went from four bananas to, we propagated now, Throughout my entire food forest, there are 25 banana trees.
It's so cool.
It started from four.
They have little pups.
You can let them grow up.
You replant them.
And that becomes the food for the soul, right?
You learn while you go.
Hey, Todd.
Yes? I got a chop and drop tool for you right here.
I got the custom sword.
This is...
Made in Arizona with the MagnaCut steel.
This is my favorite sword.
Would this work?
My food forest needs that, Mike.
Chop and drop also works on zombies, it turns out.
Yeah. But the last thing I want to share with everybody is please understand this aspect of it.
When I go through my food forest, I do chop and drop.
I harvest.
I admire.
I see the bees.
I see the butterflies.
There is that energy Jim talked about earlier that I've never experienced before in my life, ever.
And so it becomes addictive.
You just want to go out there.
And again, you do not have to be a gardener.
You can go out there and it just works itself.
Let's talk about that because I talked about calories earlier, but that's really just the most shallow version of this.
Rob, if you would, talk to us about how these plants are also synthesizing and naturally creating medicine.
And this is way beyond calories.
It's way beyond food.
This is medicine from nature.
Talk to us about that.
Absolutely. In my teenage years, I worked on a museum farm up in western Massachusetts called Hancock Shaker Village.
And I learned that the Shaker ladies back there, they had herb gardens.
That was their apothecary.
They would be in there all day, grinding up with a mortar and pestle.
These plants have natural molecules in them that are meant to heal us.
We're meant to coexist with them.
You talk about that multiplying.
Perennial herbs are one of the most powerful things you can grow, not only for the health of your forest, but for your own health.
So all the vitamins and minerals you could ever ask for.
And again, also free.
Completely free.
At least with a little bit of knowledge, you're growing the plants that you think that you might need for your health challenges, right?
So how much do you incorporate this into your food forest designs, like actual medicinal herbs or even the medicinal properties of plants like berries?
Jim? Some designs.
So it's all up to the individual.
The first thing we ask is, where do you live?
And the second thing is, what do you want?
What's your vision?
What's your goal?
And this is one of my biggest failures in the learning of permaculture is the first principle of observe and interact.
Stewardship. When people get one of these systems and they're too busy to even think about it or interact with it, it's not going to be nearly as productive because there's something that we don't comprehend.
They've studied this on orange harvests here in Florida.
If you don't harvest the oranges, the orange tree won't give you as many oranges next year.
Literally, just being standing, especially barefoot, on the ground in a food forest, every single person that I've had at Gulf Landing in our food forest, when they stand on the ground and I say, how do you feel?
They say they feel good.
There's a healing aspect to this, which really helps people decentralize from the pharmaceutical cartels, if you think about it, right?
I mean, it's not only food is medicine, but herbs are also medicine.
And now we're talking about multiple layers of decentralization, because literally, if you live more on these kinds of natural substances, you're not wading through the drive-through of the pharmacy all day.
Instead, you're at home in your garden, because that's your medicine, more and more, right?
Absolutely. It's food for the soul.
And you know what?
I think that when I'm playing Tadradamus and I'm looking into the future, with your LLM, Mike...
People are going to be able to install a food forest, be able to work with food forest abundance, and part of what they do do is they plant an herb garden.
They did with me, and it was really cool to see it prosper.
But now I can imagine querying your database when I know that there is basil and mint and all of these different things and querying what are the medicinal properties of these and how might they, you know, and then have it.
Have the database come and answer that.
And now I have something that just isn't for taste, but now it's to cure my body, not just feed my soul.
And your database will be able to do that, Mike.
Since you mentioned that, let me just give the website.
It's brighteon.ai.
It's a free open-source language model.
Currently, there's a wait list, but depending on when you see this, you might want to check it.
It might be already out by then.
It's called Enoch, and actually, it is trained.
On a massive amount of content of permaculture, gardening, sustainable agriculture, regenerative agriculture, all of these concepts, plus diagnosing plant diseases.
So you'll be able to type into it, like, oh, I've got white spots on my tomato leaves or yellow spots on this or this kind of bug.
It looks like this.
What is it?
And the model will be able to help you diagnose that.
And it'll even tell you, like, you could ask it, well, I have this plant.
What kind of soil does this need?
What minerals might be lacking in...
It's got all that knowledge.
So it's a helper that you can use free of charge just to help you with your permaculture.
Love that.
That is so powerful and so incredible.
Food Forest Abundance is so thankful to have access or really to support this because...
We want to reduce the cost massively.
By the way, we don't have any patents.
We don't have any non-competes or any NDAs or any of that.
Everything we do is also open source.
People can take anything from our website, videos, content, and they can grow their own food or they can start local communities.
Or if they want to collaborate with us, then great.
We're following Dr. Martin Luther King's advice.
Those who love peace must learn to organize as effectively as those who love war.
That's right.
That's right.
Let's talk about food security now for a second.
I'm in the food business.
We have a lot of people that purchase our food.
It's a backup food supply.
And that's great.
But I also tell all of them the same thing.
If you're in a crisis and you have to start living on that food, you better start growing food at the same time.
Because the only sustainable system is food that you grow and seeds that you save and food that you preserve season after season.
Your emergency food supply just gets you through until you can grow, really.
So speak about that, Rob or Jim.
Go ahead, Rob.
Yeah, I mean, if you have the space, one head of cattle is the equivalent of 100 days of life support, so days of supply.
But if you're growing out of the ground, those plants will keep reproducing.
The cattle you slaughter one time, and Jim has plenty of cattle there on Galt's Landing, but what you've got in your backyard not only provides that food security, but it's also peace of mind as well.
And you talked about the health benefits, Mike.
The spiritual benefits of being in tune and knowing the confidence that you can grow out of the ground will take you through any emergency.
And, of course, you want to plan it.
You want to do it right.
The seven Ps of planning I learned in the Marine Corps, prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance.
So you've got to have a plan to enact.
But, yeah, if everything does go down, or even if not, even if everything stays...
Okay, in the food land world where you can go down the street to Kroger and pick up your dinner, even if that remains intact, you're going to have a much more meaningful lifestyle if you can start working with the earth, collaborate rather than compete as a permaculture principle.
And I'll give a free one to everybody out there when you're talking about medicinals.
Dandelions. I know everybody who's listening to this has a dandelion growing in their yard right now because it's March.
Go out there and take that thing, dry it out, and make a little tea out of it.
The health benefits for your immune system are just astounding.
Oh, yeah.
Or roll it in cassava flour with salt and pepper and pan fry it.
Yum. Yum.
It's like dandelion fritters, man.
Right? Aren't those good, Jim?
They're delicious.
The whole thing.
I mean, we walk out.
My job, by the way, now.
Now I don't have any bills anymore besides just fun stuff.
My job is to walk outside and love the land, and the land loves me back exponentially.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
And can I speak about the gift that keeps on giving?
There may be some viewers who may have the means but may not have the property or may not have the want to necessarily, but let me share with you what I'm doing.
with Food Forest Abundance.
I'm working with them and next week, next Wednesday, they're meeting me and we're going to go over to my daughter just moved into a home of actually about a year ago, but she has her backyard and I'm gifting her a food forest.
She doesn't have a huge yard, but it is so cool.
She's so excited because I do have the means.
I want to be able to give her some of what I have, not just her come over and go through my food for us.
I work with Jim and the team and Cam, and we're going to go over there.
We're going to walk it with her.
She's going to make the decisions.
But it's funded.
And so there's going to be something that is going to be organized that's gifting food for us as well, like a small, medium, large.
Just everybody know that that's coming, and maybe you'll learn a little bit more of that in the bonus material.
That's probably the best gift that a father can give a daughter, really.
Well, we're even thinking about the notion of...
Bridal registries?
Can you imagine a food forest bridal registry?
Or somebody's married and instead of guests bringing a bunch of plates, how about they say, I want to gift them a peach tree or a strawberry tree.
You know what I'm saying, guys?
This is changing the world one plant at a time.
I'm about ready to pop out of my skin.
I'm so excited that you said that.
Think about now, when we organize the schools and the churches to do this, we send letters home to the families of the school, parents, and the churches, and we create the bridal registry, and then the kids and the communities turn their land into the Garden of Eden, into a food forest, and all of a sudden, boom!
This model can literally scale around the nation and around the world this summer.
It's a free idea.
Yeah, so let's do it.
Let's organize the influencers, because the influencers are key, because we help create awareness.
The next step is the permaculture people, which are everywhere, and the master gardeners.
And we organize these groups locally, and we create these bridal registries, and then the community comes together, and they start growing food.
And this has been done in World War II and in World War I. This was the government's initiation.
So why aren't they doing that now?
I wonder why.
But they should, but it's not up to them.
It's up to us.
Let's do this.
Go ahead, Mike.
Sorry. Well, no, we're 100% with you on that.
And I think, I forgot which official was recommending this in the Trump administration, but somebody was saying they want to end all HOA rules against gardening.
And I'm like, yes!
Like, it should never be illegal to grow food, even in your front yard.
Because gardens are never ugly.
Even if they look ugly, they're still beautiful, right?
Absolutely. They're functional.
Hey, Jim, I'm just going to put my marketing hat on here.
You know, these wouldn't be bridal registries.
These are Garden of Eden registries.
Oh, cool!
Yeah. Yeah, so cool.
Okay, I've got another question for both of you now.
We cover technology a lot on this show and in this docu-series.
And right now, for food production, most of the automation is happening with the poison growers, right?
So they're using heavy tractor automation, and John Deere's got all these tractors that are robotic now, and they can robotically spray pesticides on everything.
They can robotically spray glyphosate.
But there's something that's about to happen, and I want to get your take on this, because I'm an advocate of this concept.
It might be a little bit controversial, but when little dog robots come out that we can own that are just a couple thousand dollars, and somebody's going to have open source software to turn that dog robot into a weed-pulling robot, you know what I'm saying?
Wouldn't that be actually useful for decentralization to take advantage of some automation On your homestead.
Who wouldn't love a weed-pulling robot?
I'm just curious.
Is that going too far for you guys?
Or do you welcome the automation?
Yeah, we welcome automation.
We welcome anything that's going to help us get to a place of abundance.
In our food forest, the only time we need weeding is pathways because it grows so fast that we mow the pathways.
So this would be really functional in some of those circumstances, yes.
Plus, it could run security like a Terminator and prevent people from stealing your mangoes, Todd.
And we could probably program them to pee on some trees.
Yeah, for sure.
But I'm just thinking that part of decentralization is going to be this automation.
You know, there's all these robots coming out.
And I had a conversation with the Google whistleblower, Zach Voorhees, the other day about this.
And we're both thinking, you know, Humanoid robots are going to help people homestead.
Yeah. Because there's a lot of work.
You guys know there's a lot of work, like physical work involved, which is healthy for you.
I get it.
But sometimes not everybody can do all that work, right?
Depending on age or even injuries.
You know, veterans often may have an injury that prevents them, right?
Yeah. Yeah, it could be very helpful in some circumstances.
I personally love the work, but a lot of people don't, so that could be awesome.
Yeah, you don't look like a guy that shies away from grabbing a shovel and getting into it, you know?
It's my solace.
It's my meditation.
It's my prayer.
I love it.
Totally. I think in summary, guys, what we're talking about is reclaiming man's I didn't come up with that.
You guys did.
It's on my notes here.
Talk to me about Reclaiming Man's Origins.
I have been hyper-aware of what's going on for a long time, and I've been asking questions around how do we change the world.
We have created a platform, a marketplace, an online community marketplace.
We're all of the products and services that are needed to create freedom.
With the help of AI and all of the influencers have come together to organize effectively to bring these solutions.
And here's where it gets hyper-exciting.
We are very transparent about our use of funds.
Every dollar that comes in is registered on our life clock.
And then we use 100% of our surplus.
To put food for us in schools and prisons and city parks and then put the marketing around why that makes a difference, why that's important.
And when people start to realize the joy of it and the logic of it and the science of it, then they will simply do it because it's best for them in every conceivable way.
So that's launching April 27th.
Beautiful. All right.
So, Todd, what have we left out here just back on the practical scope of this?
Is there anything we've left out that we could pass along right now that people could implement?
Well, it's always nice to be able to direct them on where you would go if you're like, okay, you guys have my attention.
And so let's talk about operationalizing your own vision of your own backyard.
Jim, Rob, how would people go about that?
What's the contact strategy to be able to engage with you guys to install a food forest?
Yeah, it's pretty simple.
Foodforestabundance.com.
You can go there and you can sign up for a free strategy session.
You'll talk to one of our designers on the phone, a warm actual human being.
Get in touch with them and sit down and just we'll go over the five W's of what you're trying to achieve and what you've got to work with.
But we are completely adaptable and we'll work with, and yep, there's the website right there, Jim's Beautiful Face.
Yeah, and if you're looking for one of those hubs that we talked about, the Freedom Farm Academies, maybe it is at an institution, you are the principal of an elementary school or a pastor of a church, or you're just an entrepreneurial-minded individual and you want to have a centerpiece of your local community that provides both food and meaning to your fellow man.
Just hit us up, and we'll get right back to you, and we can start the planning immediately.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
Look, I also think this is going to be necessary.
This is a necessary skill set, and it's redundancy in your life, right?
So sometimes people panic when the grocery store shelves are empty, which kind of happened during COVID for certain things.
Everybody panics.
I don't panic about that.
I'm just going to go home and eat what I have there.
If I have to, I'll just turn to all the wild foods that I have.
I've got so many acorns.
All I have to do is treat them, get the tannins out, and I've got acorn pancakes.
You know what I mean?
That's effortless food.
I've got seven or eight wild foods that I don't do anything for.
Actually, Jim, you know what I did?
I just decided to not poison the land.
That's all I did.
No herbicides, no pesticides for over a decade, and boom!
There's food everywhere.
There's food everywhere.
And can I share with you guys?
When I installed my food forest, I made that same decision to not poison the back and the front.
And since not poisoning the front, which still is just grass and plants, it looks just as good as our neighbors.
I almost wonder if that's just all a huge scam.
You know what I mean?
They're just spraying water on her.
It looks as good as our neighbors, and I don't poison it anymore.
Yeah. Well, this is, I mean, Jim, speak to this, too, about, I mean, like, I remember visiting macadamia nut farms on the Big Island in Hawaii, and one of them destroyed their mac nut trees by spraying glyphosate to kill weeds around the mac nut trees.
Got into all the soil, got into the roots.
Killed the macadamia orchard, which takes like 20 years to come back.
Like, what?
Oh, my God.
It's so ignorant.
And, you know, ignorance is easy to overcome with wisdom and with learning.
So it's just to kill the microbiome.
The microbiome is the foundation of life, right?
So to place poisons on it.
Anyway, we know that whole story.
And that whole system is being revealed.
At scale right now.
And the lawsuits are everywhere.
And so we just have to keep helping people see that to take the poisons out is the first step.
And then if that's all we do, the world will provide radical abundance for us.
That's true.
The resilience of a system is defined by the strength of its interconnections, its relationships.
And if you own a little piece of property, you are a big piece of that.
So not only, like you said, Todd, perfect example, you stop using poisons on the front yard, everything around it starts to benefit, including yourself.
Because those toxins don't just get in there and mess up the weeds you don't want, weeds.
But they get in your system, and your kid's system, and they do irreparable harm that may never come out of your body, your system.
And your pet's systems.
And I want to mention, too, that minerals, ocean water minerals, this is so critical to be putting into the food.
And even back to Hawaii, I remember that the mac nut trees where the roots had access to some ocean water, they always grew sweeter macadamia nuts.
They were literally sweeter because of the mineral content.
I was like, wow, I never knew that.
But yeah, and if you don't have mineral content...
You know, your food, it can't work as well.
You add minerals to a typical garden.
Sometimes you can, what, 50% more production, Jim?
What do you think?
Oh, gosh.
Actually, it's infinitely more production because every bit of more production turns into exponentially more production.
You know, and it's...
Again, it's the awareness factor.
People simply don't, they've been programmed.
One of the ultimate programs is I've got a brown thumb, I've got a black thumb, I don't have the time, the money, the know-how.
Right now, everybody listening, go buy some heirloom seeds or some organic seeds, some seeds that you can store and then start putting in the ground as the ground thaws this spring.
And the plants will become your most valued teachers.
And then they'll also provide you food and medicine.
Yeah. Well said.
Well said.
And I've got to say, of all the best people I know that is just the most kind, compassionate human beings, they all grow some amount of their own food.
There's something about growing food that makes you a better person, literally.
Absolutely. Haven't you seen that?
Yeah. In fact, Thich Nhat Hanh, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and he was getting real busy.
And one of his assistants said, you don't have time to garden today.
And he said, I don't have time to not garden today.
It's a fundamental.
And that's my experience.
This is literally my salvation.
Being in God's design.
I almost got tears in my eyes right now.
It is what keeps me so energized and so joyful about this amazing life.
Yeah, Todd, hasn't it been humbling just having your food forest, learning more, being closer to nature?
Incredibly humbling.
And what I didn't realize is how many species of different plants that they installed.
So there's this app that I have on my phone to where I literally would go out there every morning for weeks, months even, and I would just...
Because I couldn't remember every plant.
So I would just refresh my memory and then add it to my garden.
And that's the community, the communing that I did with the food forest.
And, you know, I recently hauled a lot of cassava that I prepared to my different neighbors.
And it just hit me now as we're talking.
You know, my neighbors that don't do this, what are they going to share with the rest of the community?
Pizza Hut boxes?
Yeah, that's true.
And that app, that's a plant identification app.
I know the one you're talking about, although I forgot the name of it.
What's the name?
I'm going to look.
It's on my home screen right now.
Where is it?
Picture this.
Picture this.
Okay. So it's so funny because on my ranch, I've grown to know these plants.
All kinds of different shrubs and trees.
I've grown to know them over the years and to know their personality and to know their habits.
But I never knew what they were called until a friend came over with that app.
Oh, this is called that.
This is a gum tree.
I'm like, okay.
I just called that the sticky, courageous plant or whatever.
Everything's got a personality.
But thanks to that app, I found that there's a whole system of briars on my property.
That produce vitamin C rosehip bundles once a year.
So I've got an unlimited vitamin C supply that I didn't even know about.
It's like, whoa, you know?
Yep. God didn't mess up this design at all.
Yeah. Yeah, it's wild.
Okay, so look, foodforestabundance.com is the website.
And then...
That's where people can check out your, you've got educational material, you've got your services, obviously, for food forest design.
And then, in addition, in our upcoming docuseries, Todd, you're doing, well, go ahead and describe all the bonus material that you're putting together with these guys.
Yeah, I'm going to go over to Galt's Landing, and we're going to walk, and so you're going to actually be able to see all of this that we discussed, and we'll be able to show you what it looked like.
Three years ago where it was nothing but sand.
And then you're going to be blown away to just see how prosperous everything is and how diverse everything is.
And you might even get us around a campfire because I'm going to stay and they're going to start a campfire.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Also going to have some of Jim's team come over to my food forest and we're going to walk around and be able to talk some specifics and be able to talk about what I've learned through this.
Make it practical so that you guys have a really good sense of what you might be in for.
But, man, I don't see a downside to it.
The one thing, Mike, that you and I have talked about is how the dollar is melting in value, right?
Yeah. And I want to let you know that I literally loved paying for my food forest.
With cash that I had saved that's been in my stupid little safe for years and years, because I've always been a good little saver, $100 a week here and there, and knowing that I was giving them, I mean, I almost feel like I pulled one over on them because they just got this melting cash, and what I got was this prosperous food for us.
It's going to be in my family for generations.
Well, that's what I mean.
The food forest really is an asset.
We talked about gold earlier.
It's an asset that keeps on producing as long as we have sunlight, which if we don't have sunlight, we have other problems to deal with.
But as long as we have sunlight, there you go.
That is a powerful asset.
And I will also add to that.
There's also infrastructure that you can build.
For example, rainwater collection.
So we do rainwater collection as part of our production of our colloidal silver products here in Texas.
So we have a massive, massive tanks that collect off of our commercial building.
I mean, we're talking hundreds of thousands of gallons of rainwater, right?
So think about that, Jim.
What's the value of rainwater in a drought?
You know what I mean?
The value could be life and death in some cases, and it has been many times.
Right. So dollars, yeah, I mean, you can use them for lots of things right now.
They're losing value, but why not convert your dollars into a food forest or convert it into rainwater collection or convert it into, you know, even permaculture concepts, like hire a guy with a bulldozer who knows what he's doing and build the swales so you can capture runoff water.
You can retain water.
You can stop erosion.
You can actually build new microclimates where the water rests on your property.
And I do the same thing.
And I know it's weird.
People say, oh, you're messing up the land with the bulldozer.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
I am disturbing the soil.
But five years down the road, that soil is now super abundant and it's got water and trees start growing there automatically without me even having to plant them.
That's the way it works.
Yes, the foundation of wealth of our world is nature, right?
And we call it composting the fiat, right?
This is fiat, and it's going down.
It's poop.
And what do you do with poop?
You compost it.
I can buy a fruit tree with that, that just by the size of the fruit tree alone will be worth three to five times as much in 12 to 18 months.
That's true.
Yeah, that's true.
That's very important because installing a food forest is an investment, not an expense.
Yep. I will tell you that if we sold our home, which we won't, but when it was just nothing but grass back there versus this Garden of Eden I have now, oh my goodness, I can't imagine the premium that we would receive on our home.
That's true.
Especially in the middle of a food crisis.
Yeah, go ahead, Rob.
Food crisis is right.
The intangible skills that come from being one with your food forest and being a good steward, you get the know-how of how to basically speak the language of your plants.
Get them more happy, like you said, with the minerals from the salt, from the sea.
But other skills as well that also use technology like food preservation.
So you've got this head of cabbage.
It's going to be okay for one meal, but if you can get a little bit of salt and a bucket and give it a couple weeks, you're going to have sauerkraut that you can can and preserve for whatever might come, whatever eventuality that we might see in the coming months.
That's right.
That's right.
All of this goes together.
This is a synergistic skill set.
That goes along with many of the other episodes that we have here, Todd, on the docuseries about preparedness, about financial asset protection, about redundancy, resiliency, being adaptive.
And nothing is more adaptive than Mother Nature.
So the closer we get and the closer we work with Mother Nature, instead of fighting it all the time, oh, we've got to poison this and poison that and drug this and drug that, which is also the way people treat their own health problems.
Like, oh, this hurts.
What do we do?
Poison it.
Yeah, that'll help.
No. It's like, how about you nurture it instead?
I don't know.
Cut it off.
It hurts.
Cut it off.
I mean, that's what the surgical system is.
It's crazy.
But we are all about working with Mother Nature.
So I just want to thank you guys for taking the time to join us today here on this episode.
It's been a pleasure.
Jim, you're always an inspiration.
Your energy, your enthusiasm for this is really infectious.
So thank you both for joining us.
Thank you guys so much.
Have a great day, everybody.
See you soon, Jimmy.
Yeah, I can't wait to see all your bonus film material, Todd, as you're visiting them.
But, of course, this is just one episode of many in a docu-series, and if you don't know what we're talking about, maybe we haven't launched it yet, and we're offering this as a preview, but it is coming.
It will be at brightu.com when we launch it.
So, just thank you, gentlemen, for joining us.
