	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, April 1st.
	Yes, April Fool's Day 2025.
	I do not participate in running any April Fool's jokes for a number of reasons.
	I don't think it lends credibility to the person who does it.
	And our world is far too serious and too dangerous.
	Too much stuff going on to be joking around with, uh, you know, deliberately fake news as a joke.
	So I, I don't participate in it.
	Just watch out today.
	Some people will probably post jokes on, on Twitter and elsewhere, and just be mindful that it is April fool's day in, uh, in Western culture.
	But if you think about it, every day is fool's day in Western culture when there's money printing going on or currency printing, because it's, It's looting the people who have dollars.
	And this money printing slash looting is a fool's game.
	I mean, well, it's, I guess it's genius for those who are printing the money and getting free money.
	And it turns the rest of us into fools for using that money or that currency, which is why everybody that knows what's up is going into gold and silver.
	And, you know, yesterday I said, Hey, Gold is $3,085, I think I said.
	And I followed that up by saying it's going to go over $3,100 very soon here.
	Well, guess what it did in the last 24 hours?
	It crossed $3,100 and it went to $3,124.
	So yeah, we are way past $3,000 for gold.
	And silver hasn't yet exploded like that, but it probably will because as more money Printing takes place, of course.
	Well, the value of the currency continues to implode, making gold and silver priced higher in dollars.
	Now, we're going to be bringing you an interview today from a financial analyst.
	Well, actually, he runs an investment fund that specializes in digital assets.
	And his name is Chris Sullivan.
	And this is part of a decentralized TV episode.
	That would be bringing you here.
	So Chris Sullivan is the interview coming up, and I think you'll really enjoy that interview.
	And Chris Sullivan is pro crypto, pro Bitcoin or pro privacy coins like Monero.
	We do talk about that.
	But I also want to bring you an opinion that was posted on X from a man named David Bateman, who thinks crypto is a total psyop scam.
	Now, Bateman Posted this and I think he runs a hedge fund or a family fund.
	I'd have to check the details, but He he handles a lot of assets for a lot of people.
	Here's what he says Quote here the reasons I invested close to a billion dollars in precious metals over the past six months Now he doesn't mean from his own pockets obviously he's managing money for a number of people He says, including the purchase of 1.5% of the annual global silver supply.
	Yeah, he purchased 12.69 million ounces of silver.
	Oh, this guy's going to do really well when silver explodes.
	Here's what he says.
	Quote, the global monetary system is about to collapse.
	The Great Reset or Basel endgame.
	The biggest credit bubble in history will soon pop.
	$300 trillion, he says.
	There is no way the U.S. can refinance its $28 trillion in maturing treasuries in the next four years without an obscene amount of printing.
	Note that $10 trillion of the maturing treasuries occurs in the next 12 months.
	Right? So who are they gonna get to buy the $10 trillion in treasuries?
	Well, of course the Fed's gonna buy it, and they're gonna buy it by printing money and buying it themselves.
	So... Thus we begin the hyperinflation cycle, right?
	Alright, David Bateman continues.
	Trump tariffs are hastening the collapse, and it's by design.
	Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft, he says.
	Physical possession is everything.
	The whole world right now is a sophisticated game of musical chairs.
	The chairs are precious metals.
	Crypto, he says, is a psyop.
	Those who purchase crypto will have no chair when the music stops.
	Real estate, crypto, stocks, and bonds will all lose significantly compared to precious metals.
	The banking system has been meticulously designed to seize your assets to buoy up a collapsing banking sector, the great taking.
	You have zero counterparty risk with precious metals.
	I'm up 20% already on most of my purchases.
	This is not a drill.
	Your grandkids someday will either muse or lament this financial decision you are now faced with.
	Don't fail them.
	Not financial advice, he says, educational purposes only.
	Alright, so then he shows this massive amount of silver bars, big silver bars, on pallets.
	Like the kind of pallets of silver bars that you need a forklift to move around, right?
	So, For the most part, I agree with what he's saying.
	There is a financial reset that's coming, and possession of metals is going to be the key to all of this.
	Yes, you need to have the metals in your hands.
	So actually, I have an update here.
	I hadn't checked the gold price for many hours, and here it is at $3,141, or $44.
	Gosh. It went to $31.45.
	So look, a lot of this buying is happening after the markets close in the U.S., which means, you know, it's overseas buyers that are just buying gold like crazy.
	Some people think gold is gonna top out at $32.50 and then resettle, reconsolidate at that point.
	Look, In my opinion, but don't take this as financial advice, in my opinion, actually, this is just math, okay?
	Gold is going to go to $5,000 an ounce.
	And it's going to go to $10,000 an ounce.
	It's going to go to $20,000 an ounce.
	Why? We just don't know the timing, but it's because the dollar is going to collapse.
	As it collapses, gold will just look higher and higher and higher in dollars.
	And more people will turn to gold.
	Because they'll see how rapidly they're losing Their money in dollars.
	Now Trump is of course in charge right now, and he inherited this massive problem of $36 trillion in debt, $225 trillion plus in unfunded liabilities, and all this fraud and waste that Doge is exposing through USAID, etc. So Trump inherited a problem that is frankly unsolvable.
	You can't solve this problem.
	Not even with tariffs.
	I mean, the tariffs are just punitive weapons to try to nudge foreign countries into line.
	The tariffs are not significant fundraising vehicles, okay?
	Ultimately, and this has been my prediction for many, many months, Trump is going to have to effectively default on U.S. Treasury debt.
	One way or another, you're going to have to default on the debt.
	You're going to have to clear the books of the treasuries, and you're going to have to launch a new currency.
	Something probably backed at least partially by gold.
	And I've called it the New Dollar, and it'll probably be digital.
	So it'll probably be a CBDC, which is, maybe it's called the New Dollar or the Digital Dollar, like the D-Dollar, D-Day Dollar, more like it, right?
	And it will go on a totally different trajectory than the old dollar, which is the current dollar.
	The old dollar will be printed into oblivion, probably tens of trillions of dollars of printing in order to pay off the debts, to pay off the treasuries, you know, all of it with useless currency.
	And that's going to be the end of the old dollar.
	And anybody left holding the old dollar will also see their assets just absolutely gutted, utterly wiped out.
	Again, you'll still have the dollars.
	They just won't be worth anything.
	So what happened in Weimar, Germany, you know, super hyperinflation.
	They had to update prices every 12 hours, you know.
	I don't know if it's going to look like that in America.
	But at some point, we're probably going to end up with trillion-dollar notes, you know, in the old dollar.
	You'll have a trillion-dollar note or a billion-dollar note.
	I have like Zimbabwe trillion dollar notes.
	Other countries, I've shown you this on camera in the studio.
	We're going to have that in the old dollar as well.
	So if you've ever wanted to be a billionaire, all you have to do is wait for Trump to print more money.
	And before long, you know, a billion dollars will buy like a sandwich, you know, and you'll be a billionaire.
	What do you know?
	Now part of what's feeding into this, of course, is uncertainty regarding kinetic war in the Middle East.
	And Trump, still acting as a Zionist puppet, is threatening to bomb Iran.
	If Iran doesn't sign a nuclear deal, the same kind of nuclear deal that Trump tore to pieces and canceled.
	So it's like, hey, if you don't sign the same deal that I tore up years ago, then we're going to bomb you.
	And Iran is probably going to respond by announcing that they have a nuclear weapon or multiple nuclear weapons.
	And they'll, I mean, I have no doubt that they have nuclear weapons.
	launch one as a proof.
	Maybe they'll have a detonate in the ocean or something.
	To show that they have nuclear weapons and to tell the U.S.
	to stop.
	And it turns out that the threat of nuclear weapons is the only thing that causes imperialistic, militaristic, expansionistic empires like the U.S. to actually stop.
	It's the threat of total annihilation.
	And so the people in Iran realize this.
	I mean, the high level people, they know that if they don't have nukes, they will be destroyed.
	And if they do have nukes, they will be left alone.
	So, you know, kind of interesting.
	Kind of like being the only guy on the block with an AR-15, you know?
	If you have an AR-15, your neighbors are probably not going to try to steal your food.
	If you don't have an AR-15, then they're going to say, well, your food belongs to us!
	Because it's community food now, and you're a hoarder, you know?
	So, are you willing to defend yourself?
	There's the question.
	Now, back to the topic of budgets.
	In Colorado, There's a House speaker there, and this was covered by The Blaze, and it talks about a new bill, a Senate bill, and this comes from Democrats, of course, as you would expect.
	There's a new Senate bill that they say could save the state a lot of money by aborting babies.
	So the way to balance the budget in Colorado, according to Democrats, is to literally kill more babies.
	And this is called Senate Bill 183.
	And Colorado House Speaker Julie McCluskey, a Democrat, said that this could save the state a lot of money.
	She said, quote, The savings comes from the averted births that will not occur because abortions happened instead.
	So a birth is more expensive than an abortion.
	So the savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur.
	Got that?
	Okay. So in Colorado, the Democrats are openly arguing that murdering babies will save them money.
	And she goes on and she says, quote, this bill will actually decrease costs for our healthcare policy and financing department, our Medicaid expenditures, In both this year and out years as the savings from averted births, that is murdered babies, outweigh the costs of covering reproductive health care for all Coloradans.
	Yeah, reproductive health care.
	In other words, she's saying that if you get pregnant and have a baby, you're an enemy of the state because you're going to cost the state money.
	And she says, quote, abortion care services.
	Yeah. Isn't that bizarre how they put the word care in abortion?
	It's like, let's murder the baby and call it care.
	So abortion care services represent a one-time expenditure.
	Yep, that's what they're saying.
	Because of course, it's very inexpensive to just murder people.
	You know, to murder a unique human being.
	I mean, an unborn baby is a unique human being with a unique genetic code that has a heart, a brain, a mind, a soul, consciousness.
	That is a unique human being, a human being that is protected under the United States Constitution, by the way.
	But in Colorado, they think that murdering that human being is a way to save money.
	So, extend this out, okay?
	This is just the beginning.
	When Colorado needs more money, what will they do next?
	Well, not hard to project where this is going, is it?
	Then they'll start murdering the elderly.
	Oh, hey, euthanasia saves us money, too, just like abortion saves us money.
	And you know, those elderly people, this is probably what Democrats will argue, those elderly people, you know, they don't need to be around.
	They're not contributing to the economy.
	They're just a burden on our economy, which is, of course, the same argument as Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich talking about how caring for the elderly was taking away money from the war effort and the troops.
	And so the elderly were, in many cases, and also, by the way, those with physical handicaps, those with mental retardation, etc.
	They were euthanized to save the state money.
	And Colorado Democrats are now borrowing right out of the Nazi playbook.
	They think this is a great idea.
	Let's just murder babies.
	It saves us money.
	Yeah. Imagine if these people were still in charge, you know?
	They would be wasting hundreds of billions of dollars a year through USAID slush fund money, and then in order to try to balance the budget, they would have savings by murdering babies and killing off the elderly as well.
	And they would call that, uh, what do they call it?
	Abortion care services.
	Yeah. That's Democrats for you.
	Now Democrats, Are, of course, authoritarian tyrants, mentally ill lunatics, child murderers, child mutilators.
	And for years, they pushed the LGBT agenda, the transgenderism.
	They shoved it in your face.
	And they said that if you don't support transgenderism, then you're what?
	Transphobic, they said.
	You're transphobic.
	That was the word they used.
	It was a smear.
	It was a slur.
	It was a label.
	Transphobic. And they said it's not enough.
	To just be okay with trans people, you have to wholeheartedly support them.
	You have to endorse them.
	You have to welcome them into your life.
	You have to be, in essence, anti-transphobic.
	You have to be all in with trans.
	And, of course, a lot of people in Hollywood, a lot of liberals, did all that.
	They just went all in.
	They said, well, I don't want to be labeled transphobic.
	I'm going to go all in, and we're going to say how much we love trans.
	Trans children, immutilate them children, you know?
	Cut off them genitalia!
	Just, whatever it takes, you know, to be accepted by an insane society, they went along with that.
	Well, so, then Trump won the election, with a lot of Zionist money, and now we have that exact same playbook being carried out on the right, by the Zionists.
	So, We had a rabbi, Rabbi Levi Shem Tov, who's called the rabbi of Capitol Hill.
	And this was a hearing on anti-Semitism.
	And he says that it's not enough to simply be not anti-Semitic.
	He says, you have to be anti-anti-Semitic.
	In other words, you have to profess and declare your support for Jews and for Israel in particular.
	Which is tricky because most modern Israelites are not Semites, of course.
	We've covered that many times.
	They're not actually Semites, so anti-Semitism is not even the right word.
	But what's interesting about this is that Matt Walsh from The Daily Wire, I believe, Matt Walsh has pointed out that he says, quote, Forward!
	So, I want you to hear this, because this is what the new right-wing tyranny, the right-wing authoritarianism, the right-wing, you know, you have to profess your love for all Jews and everybody tied to Israel and all rabbis, otherwise you're labeled with a slur, with a smear, you're anti-Semitic.
	This is the same thing that the left did, calling you transphobic, okay?
	Exact same thing.
	It's just shifted from the left to the right, but it's the same tyranny.
	It's the same thought police.
	And this is happening under the Trump administration.
	Check out this video.
	Anti-Semitism is not just an age-old prejudice.
	It is a contemporary crisis manifesting on campuses across the nation.
	It is not enough for individuals or institutions to merely claim they are not anti-Semitic.
	As my father once taught me, it is not enough for people, especially public figures, to be neutral or not be anti-Semitic.
	One must be anti-anti-Semitic.
	We must demand the same of our universities and government institutions.
	This hearing, in my opinion, is an attempt to be just that.
	Anti-anti-Semitic.
	So, there you go.
	There's the Rabbi Shem Tov, the new face of authoritarianism in America.
	You have to be anti-anti-Semitic.
	Yeah, otherwise Marco Rubio will order your arrest and deportation.
	And they're doing that.
	The State Department is showing up with armed government thugs on campus and just basically kidnapping students, throwing them in vans and taking them away and not charging them with any crimes because they committed no crimes.
	They committed no crimes.
	Discernible crime.
	They're just speaking out against Israel.
	Which, apparently, under the Trump administration, that is now the new thought crime.
	Okay? So, we haven't actually made progress in terms of freedom, and freedom of speech, and the freedom to think.
	What we've done is we've shifted the tyranny from the left, the radical, you know, left-wing child mutilators, to the radical right-wing child bombers, which is Israel.
	Okay, so that's what we've done.
	Instead of mutilating children and cutting off their genitalia, now the government bombs them and crushes them under residential buildings destroyed by U.S. bombs dropped by Israeli, you know, IDF fighter jets.
	And we call this now freedom.
	Oh, we call this peace.
	We call this peace.
	Tulsi Gabbard actually said yesterday, she said that Trump is the peace president.
	This is what peace looks like.
	Bombs! Reminds me of my new song, which is, it has a line in it, you know, we can't bomb our way to peace, right?
	We can't print our way to riches.
	So, hopefully that song will be done soon, that music video, and you'll be able to hear that, but it's, this is straight up Orwellian.
	There's no other way to describe this.
	And, you know, Glenn Greenwald is pointing this out on X. Obviously, Judge Napolitano is pointing this out.
	Myself and many others are pointing this out.
	And this is really a very interesting moment to discern who has principles versus who is just a magotard.
	So a true magotard is just all in with Trump and all in with Israel, all in with Zionism, even when The principles of freedom and free speech and first amendment are utterly violated.
	The Magatard will go in and say, well, I'm Mago all the way, no matter what.
	Well, okay.
	Then you have no principles.
	So you're just like BLM.
	You know, you're just like Antifa.
	You're just the Antifa of the right.
	If, if that's your position, because of course, myself and all of you who listen here, we are driven by principles, right?
	Core principles.
	Unwavering principles.
	One of those principles is freedom of speech.
	And the freedom to speak includes the freedom to criticize a foreign nation.
	Especially when it is engaged in genocide.
	Especially when its leader is facing an international criminal court arrest warrant for crimes against humanity.
	Because that warrant has been issued for Netanyahu.
	So we are free, or we should be free, to criticize Israel.
	Again, especially since Israel has earned that criticism, but Rabbi Shemtov, I'm going to have to keep all these names, Shmuley, Shemtov, Shemley, Shmutov, I'm going to have to start remembering their names better, but Shemtov here says you have to be anti-anti-Semitic.
	Well, what if you're anti-anti-anti-Semitic?
	Which would be what we are describing here is We are opposed to the authoritarian rule that requires that people declare that they are opposed to anti-Semitism.
	You got it?
	Are you keeping track of the layers?
	So what if you're anti-anti-anti-Semitic, right?
	And then probably Marco Rubio would answer that and say, well, that's not going to be allowed in America.
	You have to be anti-anti-anti-anti-Semitic.
	And then people's eyes will roll and they'll do the calculations and they'll have to start logging in to AI engines trying to find...
	What does that mean?
	Actually, it doesn't mean anything because they're not even Semites, like I said earlier, so it doesn't mean anything.
	But the point is, we are seeing the rise of tyranny under Trump and that tyranny is pushed by the Zionists.
	And it's all about silencing criticism of Israel to allow Israel to carry out Absolute genocide, imperialistic wars, colonization of Gaza, and to do so while silencing anyone who calls them out for their crimes against children and their crimes against humanity.
	And you notice that every single person in the Trump administration dares not say anything negative about Israel.
	Not Dan Bongino, not Kash Patel, not Pam Bondi, not RFK Jr., right?
	None of them.
	None of them will say a single word of criticism, not Rubio, about Israel.
	What does that tell you?
	Answer is clear.
	They're not driven by principles, are they?
	They're not driven by principles.
	If they had principles, they would call out the genocide.
	So another way to describe this is that Trump is bringing back cancel culture.
	Remember how the left weaponized cancel culture?
	If you said anything against LGBT, oh, you got canceled.
	Well, Trump's bringing it on back because apparently, you know, the thought police tactic is very useful under the Trump administration, but now the cancel culture will cancel you for criticizing Israel.
	So there you go.
	Don't pretend for a minute that Trump supports freedom or that X is a free speech platform because it isn't.
	Or that the First Amendment's going to be respected by the Trump administration because it isn't?
	You are living under Zionist authoritarianism.
	And it's the same playbook as the radical left.
	So we are no better off in terms of free speech.
	We're no better off in terms of our freedom and our safety, actually.
	We're right in the same position that we were in six months ago.
	It's just a different group now running the tyranny.
	All right, now let's move over to Europe, Western Europe, because there was a significant court decision, a lawfare decision, handed down by a court.
	I think it was in conjunction with the EU courts.
	This ordered Le Pen, the top candidate for being the leader of France, She has been barred from running for office for five years, and she's been handed a four-year prison sentence, two years of house arrest, because the establishment doesn't want her to run for political office.
	So this is the exact same thing that the globalists tried to commit against Trump, lawfare against Trump, to throw him in jail so that he could not run for president.
	They tried it.
	When that failed, they tried to assassinate him at least twice, maybe more.
	And all that failed as well.
	Well, in Germany, they banned the AFD party.
	In Romania, they took away or they barred Drogescu from running for office.
	In Poland, it looks like they're gonna ban any election outcome they don't like.
	In the UK, they call it hate speech if you say you want to protect the heritage of Britain against illegals, right?
	They call that Hate speech, and then you're not allowed to run for office there.
	And the examples go on and on.
	All across Western Europe, and now in France, the candidates, well, and look at what they did in Nigel Farage in the UK also, right?
	So the candidates that support liberty and freedom and national sovereignty and strong borders and that want to get out of wars, those candidates are all being sidelined or imprisoned through lawfare.
	And there were eight MEPs from her political party that were also sentenced by the courts in France.
	And this caused Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to write on X that he supports Le Pen, and then the Deputy Prime Minister of Italy named Matteo Salvini Said that this ruling was a quote declaration of war by Brussels that they declared war on conservatives Yeah,
	that's right The globalist government regime in Brussels, which is the EU Is actually at war with the people of Europe.
	There's no question about it.
	Just like the UK the British government is at war with the British people the French government is at war with the French people the And the German government is at war with the German people.
	Yanis Varoufakis, who was the Greek finance minister at one point, and he does a lot of interviews now, he said that this is nuts, lawfare is wrong, whomever it targets, and it's stupid to boot.
	France's neo-fascists will only benefit from this just as the MAGA lot did, he says.
	He's equating MAGA with Neofascism, which of course is silly.
	He's completely wrong about that.
	But anyway, he continues, a panicking illiberal establishment across the West is diving headlong into a totalitarian pit.
	So what's really happening here is, I think, best described by Mike Benz.
	He says, quote, they are effing with something no democratic system should ever eff with.
	If people perceive, rightly, That democracy is a farce, and that anyone who runs against the order will be arrested, they'll not only want to tear it down, they'll seek an honest autocracy over a false democracy.
	So in other words, what Mike Benz is saying is that this is going to lead to political revolutions across Europe.
	You could call it a civil war.
	And I think that's exactly what's coming.
	I think this decision against Le Pen Is going to initiate a civil war in France.
	And I was speaking with a colleague the other night and we were trying to figure out, will there be a civil war in France first or in the UK first?
	And we were both guessing UK first, but now I think France because of this decision.
	So look, the people of France and to a great extent, the people of Germany, the people of the UK, the people of Poland, the people of Romania and so on.
	This is true in other countries.
	They're coming to the realization that voting is pointless because you're not even allowed to vote for the person that you want to vote for because the corrupt criminal establishment has banned that person from even running for office.
	And thus, there is no democracy.
	And the only way that real change is going to happen in those countries is for those people to literally rise up and, you know, Hang the traitors and throw them out of office like, you know, French Revolution style, but hopefully not with a socialist outcome like we saw at the last great French Revolution.
	What was that?
	Which was 1789.
	There it is.
	1789. Okay.
	So it's been a while.
	So Marine Le Pen has denounced the sentence that was handed down against her.
	She said it was a political decision taken on an order of her opponents that were seeking to prevent her from running in the 2027 elections.
	So, yeah, of course.
	She says, quote, the rule of law has been completely violated by the decision that was made.
	And she's going to appeal the court ruling as soon as possible, but that's going to take forever because, of course, the whole court system is completely corrupt.
	She says there are millions of French people this evening who are outraged to an unimaginable degree.
	Yeah, again, this is going to give rise to an uprising, a revolution in France.
	And if you think about it, the fact that France and the UK and also Germany are also trying to go to war with Russia, this is only going to further destabilize their own country as a whole, which will Feed right into the civil war or the revolt or whatever you want to call it.
	And frankly, you know, it really is time for the corrupt leadership of these European countries to be thrown out of office.
	It's long past time.
	They should all be just forcibly removed from office and they don't even represent the people at all.
	None whatsoever.
	And they just want to Frankly, they want to take their countries to war with Russia, which will end up destroying their countries.
	And it's very clear that especially the UK is deliberately trying to destroy the British people in order to replace them with migrants.
	So they want to declare war on Russia and send all the young British men to die on the front lines with Russia in Eastern Ukraine, and then replace them with other people.
	Migrants. From Middle East, from India, from Africa, from wherever.
	Anybody but Britons, you know, that's what the British leadership wants.
	This is a, frankly, this is a white European extermination agenda that's being run right now by these governments.
	And if the people of Western Europe don't actually revolt and throw their own corrupt systems out of office, they're going to find themselves impoverished or exterminated.
	Their economies are going to be absolutely crushed.
	Their energy has already been shut down because of the climate lunatics that are running those governments.
	Their farms are being shut down.
	There's going to be engineered famine all across Western Europe.
	We are talking about the end of Western European civilization here.
	The churches have been burned in France and more are coming.
	The rule of law is completely gone in France and in the UK.
	Your freedom to speak is completely obliterated, which explains what 1776 was all about in the U.S. You know, that's why we made the First Amendment the First Amendment.
	The government shall not infringe on our right to speak or the freedom of the press or to peaceably assemble or freedom of religious expression, etc.
	Right? That's why we made that the First Amendment, because the British government throughout history always turns to tyranny.
	They always do.
	Again and again and again, because it's in their blood, their lizard blood.
	They're always tyrants, okay?
	And they hate humanity, they hate their own people, and they're trying to destroy the UK, just like the French leadership is trying to literally destroy the nation of France, and they want to recruit Russia to launch the missiles, to drop the bombs, to nuke the cities, so that Western Europe can be obliterated.
	That is the goal, just so you understand.
	That is the goal.
	In order to do that, they have to suppress Le Pen, or they have to suppress Drogescu, or they have to suppress Farage, or the other more pro-liberty candidates across these European countries.
	So, I do not expect Western Europe to survive this.
	I really don't.
	I know the Bank of England is about to default on gold, and probably silver.
	There's a big silver squeeze that's on now.
	I know that Western European leadership just wants war with Russia, a war that they cannot win, a war that they will lose badly.
	They will probably end up getting nuked.
	At least their military bases will get nuked, and maybe capital cities like Paris and London and Berlin, who knows?
	definitely military bases will probably end up getting nuked if they keep pushing this.
	You think Russia is just going to sit there and say, yeah, do whatever you want.
	We'll hold our fire.
	No. So if...
	They're going to take that money and use it to build a war machine.
	And then I guess they're going to recruit millions of young Brits.
	Well, guess what?
	Russia's going to bomb the barracks like they did in Ukraine.
	Russia's going to bomb the factories in the UK. Russia's going to bomb the railroads that transport the tanks eastward.
	I mean, Russia's not going to sit back and do nothing.
	They're just going to start bombing strategic targets all over Western Europe.
	And there's nothing that Western European countries can do to stop it.
	Not a thing.
	And NATO won't be there.
	NATO will cease to exist.
	The U.S.
	won't be there because the U.S.
	is going to be too busy for Israel.
	In the Middle East, fighting Iran, most likely, which is going to fully occupy America's military.
	And America will lose that war, too, by the way.
	I mean, look, the West is going to lose all the wars.
	Russia is victorious versus Ukraine, and Iran will be victorious against the West.
	Have no illusions about this.
	And it's just, it's foolish suicide for, you know, The British leaders to think they can defeat Russia or for America's leaders to think they can defeat Iran You want to go to war with Persia?
	Yeah, that's been tried before that didn't work And by the way, the crimes against humanity carried out by Israel are so grotesque That the Israeli army is now recorded to have killed 1,400 medical staff in Gaza and on top of that 15 Palestinian humanitarian workers Civil defense teams,
	Red Crescent medics, and UNRWA employee were executed by the Israeli army during rescue operations.
	So at least 1,400 medical personnel.
	That is because Israel's bombing hospitals, killing hospital workers, killing doctors and surgeons on purpose.
	Massacring medical staff on purpose.
	This is what Israel does.
	And then there's another story, let's see, and that's covered by TheCradle.co.
	There's a story out of MiddleEastEye.net that says that the bodies of Gaza medics that were executed by Israel have been found handcuffed and shot in a mass grave.
	So, 15 first responders were found, their bodies were found buried under crushed ambulances in Gaza.
	Israeli officials executed them, put them in handcuffs and shot them in the head.
	Because that's what Israel does.
	Actually, there were reportedly 20 gunshots in each body.
	So Israel opened up full magazines, you know, just went to town, opening fire on these medics.
	Okay? This is what Trump supports.
	This is what Rubio supports.
	This is what the entire Trump administration supports, is the mass execution of hospital workers and first responders, buried in mass graves, shot in the head, in the heart, in the chest, multiple times, by Israel, and then you're not allowed to criticize Israel.
	Okay? This is what we're facing now, in the United States.
	And these workers were buried in a mass grave, two to three meters deep, to try to cover up the evidence of the crime.
	And this is what Israel does, okay?
	This is what Israel does.
	This is what Zionism does.
	Genocide is a crime against humanity, and we need to speak out against this, and we need to demand that the Trump administration cut all ties with Israel.
	Cut diplomatic ties, stop sending weapons, stop sending money, ban AIPAC, and frankly, Fire everybody from the administration that has dual citizenship with Israel Because right now America is being run by a Zionist authoritarian regime and Trump is their puppet that that's The truth about what's happening right now because I'm not going to just
	choose between the left versus the right in terms of choosing what flavor of genocide that I support.
	No, because I don't support any flavor of genocide.
	I don't support mutilating babies on the left, and I don't support mass executions of hospital workers on the right.
	I'm not down for genocide in any context.
	I'm not down for killing children in any context.
	I'm going to speak out against this, obviously.
	I hope you join me in speaking out against this, because they try to intimidate everybody into silence, which is exactly what the left did.
	And you notice how the LGBT flags have been replaced with Israeli flags.
	See? Same thing.
	Same playbook.
	You just took down the rainbow flags and put up all the Israel flags.
	That's what you see now all over the Trump administration, all over Congress and the White House.
	It's just Israeli flags.
	See? It's the same thing.
	It's the same scam.
	It's the same conspiracy.
	Tyranny. It's the same crimes against children.
	It's the same death and murder and destruction.
	Now it's just, it's a Star of David instead of a LGBT rainbow.
	See how that works?
	Bait and switch, folks.
	Bait and switch operation.
	So for the first BrightLearn AI book review video today, we're going to play a video of a book by Thomas Suarez called State of Terror, How Terrorism Created Modern Israel.
	This is a six minute Book review video.
	It's very Well, it's it's disturbing and it's powerful and if you don't know the truth about how Israel is a genocidal empire of terror Then you need to learn this information because you know, they're coming for us next.
	I Mean already they're saying they're gonna come for any Americans that that aren't anti anti-semitism so you're gonna be We're
	good to go.
	The end of the first amendment the rise of tyranny, you know Zionism in your face And you won't be allowed to say anything unless it's pro-israel.
	So check out this first book video.
	Here we go.
	Hello everyone Today, we're delving into the israeli-palestinian Conflict through the lens of the fascinating book state of terror how terrorism created modern israel by thomas suarez Now I know what you're thinking Yes, this absolutely is a very sensitive topic, but it's also a topic that demands our attention, our curiosity, and most importantly, our critical thinking.
	The history of the Israel-Palestine conflict is undeniably fascinating, and as Suarez argues, terrorism played a pivotal role in the creation of one of the key players in this clash of cultures that has lasted nearly a century.
	But it's not the player you might think.
	Let's start with the book's central premise.
	The idea that the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is not just a clash of historic enemies, but rather the result of a deliberate, violent campaign by the political movement known as Zionism.
	According to Suarez, this campaign was driven by a determination to expropriate all of mandatory Palestine for a settler colonial nation comprising only of Jews.
	Zionists pursued this goal for decades through a combination of political maneuvering, propaganda, and crucially, terrorism.
	Now, before we go any further, let's define our terms.
	When we talk about terrorism in this context, we're not just talking about violence against the ruling British establishment, who at the time had total control over Palestine.
	Suarez argues that Zionist violence targeted anyone who stood in the way of their goal, including British officials, Palestinians, and even other Jews who were not as sympathetic towards the goal of creating a Jewish state.
	This violence was not sporadic or disorganized.
	It was systematic and often carried out by well-structured militias, like the Irgin and Lehi, with the tacit and sometimes explicit approval of Zionist organizations like the Jewish Agency for Israel.
	One of the most chilling aspects of this history is the way in which terrorism was used to achieve political objectives.
	For example, The infamous Deir Yassin massacre in 1948, where men, women and children were slaughtered, was not just a horrific act of violence.
	According to Suarez, it was a calculated move by the Irgun, with the approval of the Haganah, to terrorize Palestinians into fleeing their homes, thereby paving the way for the establishment of a Jewish state.
	And this wasn't an isolated incident.
	The book is filled with accounts of bombings, assassinations, and other acts of terror carried out by Zionist militias.
	These attacks were often justified as defensive measures, but as Suárez points out, the targets were frequently civilians, and the goal was often to provoke a reaction that could then be used to justify further aggression.
	But it's not just the violence that makes this history so disturbing.
	It's also the way in which language was manipulated to serve the Zionist cause.
	Suárez highlights how terms like Self-defense and infiltrators were used to reframe the narrative, painting Israelis as victims and Palestinians as aggressors.
	This linguistic sleight of hand was crucial in shaping international perceptions and securing support for the Zionist project.
	And let's not forget the role of the British.
	The book reveals how the British, despite their official mandate to oversee Palestine, often turned a blind eye to violence against Palestinians, Fearing the political fallout and the propaganda opportunities it would provide the Zionist movement, particularly in the United States.
	This complicity, Suarez argues, was a key factor in enabling the Zionist militias to operate with relative impunity.
	Now, I know this is heavy stuff, but it's important to remember that this is not just a history lesson.
	The implications of this history are still felt today.
	The tactics used by Zionist militias during the mandate period laid the groundwork for the policies and practices of the Israeli state.
	From the expropriation of Palestinian land to the systemic discrimination faced by non-Jewish citizens.
	Suarez also delves into the way in which the Holocaust was exploited to further the Zionist cause.
	He argues that the unimaginable suffering of European Jews was co-opted to justify the creation of a state that, in many ways, mirrored the very fascism they had fled.
	This is a controversial claim, but it's one that deserves to be examined.
	So, What can we take away from all of this?
	First and foremost, we need to recognize that the history of Israel and Palestine is not a simple story of good versus evil.
	It's a complex, multi-layered narrative filled with shades of gray.
	We must be willing to question the narratives we've been told and to seek out diverse perspectives.
	Secondly, we need to acknowledge the role that terrorism has played in shaping the modern state of Israel.
	This is not to justify or condone violence.
	But rather to understand the historical context in which it occurred and to recognize its impact on the present.
	Finally, we need to ask ourselves, what does this mean for the future?
	If we are to move towards a just and lasting peace in the region, we must confront the uncomfortable truths of the past.
	We must recognize the humanity of all those involved and work towards a solution that addresses the root causes of the conflict, not just its symptoms.

	Okay, the next book review video we're going to play for you is related to that, and this is an important time to cover this subject because of all these demands now.
	The thought police, the rabbi thought police, are Hello,
	everyone. Today we're exploring the book, The Jewish Radical Right, Revisionist Zionism and its Ideological Legacy, by Aaron Kaplan.
	This book takes us from the bustling streets of early 20th century Europe to the sun-drenched landscapes of Palestine and ultimately to the heart of modern Israeli politics.
	Let's start with who the revisionist Zionists are.
	They are critical of modernity.
	However, unlike traditional Jewish critics of modernity, the revisionists didn't reject it outright.
	Instead, they embraced modern technology and its possibilities while viewing modernity as a potential threat to the Zionist dream.
	They saw it as a force that could derail the movement's political aspirations if not properly harnessed.
	At the core of Kaplan's analysis is the revisionist's critique of modern culture and how it differs from the labor Zionist's vision for Israel.
	The labor movement, with its emphasis on socialist ideals and the creation of a new type of Jew, known as the Halots, or the Pioneer, dominated the Zionist narrative for decades following the establishment of the State of Israel.
	The labor Zionists envisioned a Jewish state built on the principles of dignified labor and collective spirit.
	But the revisionists offered a stark contrast.
	They were inspired by the likes of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, who championed a different path.
	Jabotinsky, influenced by his time in fascist Italy, believed in the power of nationalism and militarism.
	He was the leading voice in the creation of the Jewish Legion, which fought for the British during World War I. He saw the creation of this military unit comprising only of Jews as a crucial step towards establishing a Jewish state.
	For Jabotinsky, the Zionist movement's primary goal was to build enough power to establish a Jewish state, not to engage in debates about the nature of the future state.
	The 1920s and 1930s were tumultuous times for Zionism, and the Revisionists were at the forefront of the ideological battle.
	They established their own organizations like Hatzohar and Zionist activist organizations like Beitar, a youth movement that embraced Jabotinsky's ideas of militarism and power.
	The Revisionists saw themselves as warriors, the true avant-garde of the Jewish nation.
	By the late 1930s, the Revisionists had split from the World Zionist Organization and formed the New Zionist Organization.
	This marked a turning point as the movement shifted from ideological battles to more practical political action.
	The rise of the IRGN, a paramilitary and terrorist organization associated with the Revisionists, further exemplified this shift.
	The Irgun was more proactive than the main Jewish military organization at the time, the Haganah, and with support from the revisionists, the Irgun was eager to initiate attacks on both Arab and British targets.
	The revisionist movement was not a monolith.
	It was divided between the maximalists, who openly embraced fascism and rejected socialism and liberalism, And the more moderate faction led by Jabotinsky, who was sympathetic to the maximalists' commitment to Zionism, but feared their reckless public behavior could further marginalize the movement.
	Despite their differences, both factions shared a belief in the power of nationalism and the need for a radical transformation of the Jewish national psyche.
	They saw themselves as part of a broader European intellectual and cultural movement that rejected the values of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution.
	The revisionists argued that the Zionist movement needed to focus on one ideal, the establishment of a Jewish national home.
	They criticized the Zionist establishment for diluting this goal with socialist and universalist aspirations.
	They saw the return to a single unifying national force as the only way to restore the Jewish people's true identity.
	The influence of revisionist Zionism is still felt in modern Israel.
	Menachem Begin, who succeeded Jabotinsky as the leader of the revisionist movement, led the Likud party to power in 1977, marking a shift in Israeli politics.
	Begin's focus on territorial maximalism, or the conquest of new territories for the Jewish people, and his suspicion of the non-Jewish world, reflected the revisionist legacy.
	In recent years, figures like Benjamin Netanyahu have attempted to revive certain elements of revisionist ideology, particularly the emphasis on Jewish nationalism and the rejection of universalist values.
	However, the post-Zionist movement, with its post-modern critique of Zionism, has also drawn inspiration from the revisionist tradition, albeit in a more radical form.
	The story of revisionist Zionism is one of ideological struggle, political maneuvering, and cultural transformation.
	It challenges us to rethink the traditional narratives of Zionism and consider the diverse forces that have shaped the Jewish national movement.
	As we reflect on the legacy of the Jewish radical right, we are reminded of the power of ideas to shape history and the ongoing debate about the future of the Jewish nation.
	Thank you for joining me on this journey through the complex and compelling world of revisionist Zionism.
	I hope this episode has sparked your curiosity and encouraged you to explore this fascinating topic further.
	Don't forget to subscribe and leave a comment if you enjoyed this episode.
	Until next time, keep learning and keep questioning.
	I know, sobering topics today.
	It's very disturbing to realize that we live in a world run by tyrants who operate in the name of freedom.
	They tell us that we're free while they demand that we conform to their thought police.
	You know, they tell us that they're promoting peace while they support bombs and attacks and genocide.
	All right, so it's all a mind game.
	And if we're not careful, now let's zoom out and consider everything that we've talked about today.
	We've talked about the financial situation, the collapsing dollar, the cascading debt collapse.
	We've talked about Trump taking us to war with Iran and how Iran may have nuclear weapons.
	We've talked about the destruction of the Bill of Rights in America.
	And how the Trump administration is trying to cancel the First Amendment in order to enforce thought police actions so that everybody has to be pro-Zionism.
	All of this is going to be dwarfed by the collapse of the dollar that's coming.
	So we are almost certainly going to see soon the total collapse of the dollar currency, which will end in the collapse and the dismantling of the US empire as we know it.
	And at that point, it won't matter that the U.S. is a member of NATO, because the U.S., as we know it, will cease to exist, which means NATO will cease to exist, which is why Russia is trying to just bide its time right now.
	Russia's just sitting back and waiting for the West to collapse, actually.
	That's why Russia's not in a hurry, you know that?
	They know what's going to happen to the industrial output of the West collapsing.
	The economic activity?
	Collapsing. Political situation?
	Collapsing. Right?
	So all Russia has to do is sit back and wait.
	Same thing with the countries in the Middle East.
	They know that Israel can only exist because of this lifeline of supplies and bombs and intelligence and money from the United States.
	And when the U.S. dollar collapses, Israel's done.
	Israel won't last long.
	After the US dollar collapses think about it How will Israel defend itself, you know with what weapons?
	the day that the dollar collapses, I mean, it's probably not gonna be just one day but as this becomes apparent and The u.s.
	Goes through hyperinflation and then internal chaos and political chaos upheavals probably secession revolts Maybe domestic civil war because the radical left goes insane domestically this Thrust everything into chaos.
	Israel stops getting bombs and money.
	Guess what?
	At that moment, everybody in the Middle East attacks Israel.
	Lebanon, Gaza, Egypt, Iran, you know, like anybody who's still functioning will be attacking Israel at that point.
	Maybe Turkey on top of that.
	Israel will be gone.
	Israel's very existence depends on the existence of the United States.
	And the existence of the U.S. depends on the viability of the dollar.
	And the dollar is going to die.
	Which means Israel's going to die.
	I mean, you tell me, how can Israel survive without the support of the U.S.?
	It cannot.
	It cannot.
	And when the dollar dies, the U.S. can't just...
	You can't print gold.
	If they could, they would, right?
	And you can't just...
	Come up with a brand new currency that the world will accept when you've defaulted on your old currency.
	The world will not conduct trade with America when Trump is out there threatening second-order tariffs.
	Threatening to slap tariffs on any country that's buying oil from Russia.
	Second-order tariffs, again, which would affect almost everybody in the world.
	You know, India and Turkey and all the other countries Because everybody buys energy from Russia.
	Germany used to, until the U.S. blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
	So Trump is going to put tariffs on the whole world, essentially.
	And the whole world is going to say, well, we choose to use a different currency then, and we're not going to use SWIFT and the dollar, and we're not going to do trade with the U.S. any longer.
	We're going to trade with each other instead.
	Screw the U.S., you know?
	Just big global economic blockade against the U.S. That's what's coming.
	Trump is pushing us into that situation right now.
	And when that happens, by the way, don't be surprised if China partners with California.
	And California offers China a beachhead on the West Coast to let China come in and have a piece of California in exchange for China fighting for California to secede against the collapsing United States of America under Trump.
	You see how this can happen?
	Very quickly.
	I mean, these scenarios can roll out just overnight, like the fall of the Berlin Wall.
	Overnight, boom.
	Or the fall of the Soviet Union, 1991.
	It just, one day, boom, it just happened.
	Suddenly there was no more payroll.
	This could happen in America.
	There could be no more payroll for any federal employees whatsoever, which would actually be a good day.
	Imagine if all the payroll stopped.
	You know, like, RFK Jr.
	I think he just announced he's cutting 20,000 jobs from HHS.
	I think it was 20,000.
	That seems like a high number.
	But, you know, that's progress, right?
	But you know how you cut all, like, 200,000 jobs or however many there are?
	You know how you do that?
	You stop the payroll.
	Well, and that's going to happen on its own organically anyway when the dollar collapses.
	So all federal payroll will cease at some point, which is exactly what happened To the former Soviet Union in 91. There was no more central currency that had any value whatsoever, and it collapsed.
	And that's almost certainly what's going to happen to the United States of America in time.
	Not necessarily this year, but in time.
	This is going to require a series of events, but we are on this track.
	And If we don't turn this around, if we don't get back to honest money, if we don't stop the massive money printing, if we don't stop treating the whole world like we can just sanction everybody, if we don't stop the imperialism and the colonization, if we don't stop the mass bombing of Gaza or Iran, you know, if the U.S. empire doesn't learn how to get along with the rest of the world, I guarantee you the U.S. empire is finished.
	That's where this is going.
	We live in a multi-nodal world right now, and you need to diplomatically be able to negotiate with partners and find some common ground.
	Like, hey, we both benefit from trade.
	You know, we'll sell you software, you sell us minerals.
	You know, that kind of thing.
	We'll sell you electronics, you sell us oil.
	You know, we all benefit.
	Instead, what Trump is doing is, let's just bomb our way to peace.
	Let's print our way to financial prosperity, and let's sanction our way to global compliance.
	And guess what?
	That's not gonna work.
	And Trump is about to find out the hard way that that is not gonna work.
	And we, the American people, are going to suffer as a result.
	And the more we suffer domestically, the more the radical left goes completely insane and It actually gains power in their revolt, in their civil war recruitment effort.
	And don't get me wrong.
	I mean, as much as I'm critical of Trump right now, I'm way more critical of the radical insane left and the Democrats, just nothing but a criminal cabal of, you know, child mutilators and child murderers and money launderers, et cetera.
	I mean, they're horrible, horrible people.
	And if we were under Kamala right now, things would be even, even worse, if you can imagine that.
	But. As Trump takes us into this, really this engineered collapse, this collapse of our military strength and a collapse of our economic strength because of the collapse of our currency, the left is going to gain a lot of traction in recruiting people for their mass uprising.
	It's going to be easy to recruit people because there's going to be millions of jobless people who were employed when Biden was president, even though Biden Wasn't even really.
	He was, he was never actually elected president.
	You know, the whole thing was rigged in 2020.
	Biden was just a puppet, et cetera.
	We know that.
	But during the Biden term, which was a fake term, those leftist people, they had jobs.
	Now they don't have jobs.
	So what do they have?
	Free time, free time to do what?
	To protest, to set fire to things, to, you know, to march in the streets.
	They have time and energy now to focus on sabotaging America and trying to launch their own uprising revolution, like the 1789 French Revolution style.
	That's what they're going to be plotting, is how do they overthrow the Trump administration.
	And we, the American people, we're going to be in the middle of all this, trying to navigate all this, trying to, number one, protect your assets, and the answer to that is gold and silver, obviously.
	Secondly, Maintain your physical safety.
	The answer to that is get out of the cities, which I've said a thousand times, and have backup food supplies, have backup communications, you know, all of it.
	Have backup everything, right?
	Have some self-reliance, grow some food, you know, do some gardening.
	Oh, and by the way, don't forget that we've got the brightu.com survival course called the Survive Tribe.
	Coming up this Saturday.
	So register for that.
	It's free to watch.
	Just go to brightu.com.
	That's the word bright, followed by the letter U. Brightu.com.
	Register for that.
	You and I, we're just trying to navigate all this and not lose everything.
	Not lose our life, not lose our property, not lose our assets, okay?
	And that alone is going to be really, really difficult to achieve.
	And it's why I've said, If you don't have gold and silver, if all your savings are in stocks and dollars and bank accounts, kiss it goodbye.
	Kiss it goodbye!
	It's not going to be there.
	You're going to lose it all.
	When the day comes that the great taking is initiated, if all your savings are still in dollars, they're gone, man.
	The bank will just take the accounts, you know, the stockbroker will just take the stocks, whatever.
	That's why it's called the great taking, because they take it from you.
	You got nothing.
	So, all you're going to have is, you know, the land under your feet, the physical stuff you own, you know, your vehicle maybe, your home, the gold and silver that you have either in your possession or vaulted outside of the banking system.
	Like, Vaulting is okay as long as it's outside the banking system.
	I wouldn't vault gold with like JP Morgan.
	That would be hilarious, you know?
	That would be like, you know, having the fox guarding the hen house, right?
	But if you vault with a private company, you know, like our gold sponsor, MetalsWithMike.com, that's the Treasure Island company.
	They have their own private vaulting services with, you know, insurance through Lloyd's of London, etc.
	It's not part of the banking system.
	That's okay to vault there.
	Or to have it in your own physical possession.
	Just don't vault it in a bank.
	Like, don't use safe deposit boxes.
	They're just gonna take them.
	They're gonna empty all the boxes and take everything in it.
	Trust me.
	Trust me, that day is coming.
	Get out of the safe deposit boxes.
	And we're about to jump into our interview here with Chris Sullivan, who has a very specific warning about how a lot of this could unravel, at least the early stages of it, this summer.
	And he talks about the great taking.
	He talks about the, the debt collapse, and this is serious stuff.
	So if, if you want to have assets remaining when all this is done, uh, seriously, you know, get, get physical metals in your hands.
	You can talk to our sponsor in that space.
	Again, the treasure Island company metals with Mike.com.
	And I urge you to do the research, get the expert advice that you need, do a real risk assessment here.
	And by the way, traditional investors will tell you there's no risk in treasuries and there's no risk in putting money in a bank because, oh, it's FDIC insured.
	FDIC can only cover a tiny fraction of U.S. banks failing, maybe something like 0.5%.
	The FDIC doesn't have enough money to bail out more than that.
	And the Treasury is going to default on debt.
	And all your assets are in dollars when they're in Treasuries.
	The Treasury promises to pay you back in dollars at some future date, and those dollars are going to be increasingly worthless.
	So you're getting ripped off in Treasuries.
	There's 100% risk of loss in a Treasury.
	You know you're going to lose some amount of the value of that money by the time you get it back.
	It's 100% certainty of losing money in treasuries, right?
	I don't know why people think treasuries are safe.
	I mean, a few years ago, they were much safer, and they had a much higher yield.
	But today, when we're on the verge of default, no way, I wouldn't put any money in treasuries.
	I wouldn't put money in the stock market, and I don't.
	And I wouldn't put money in a bank.
	And I do have some money, you know, operating capital, obviously, in the bank.
	But man, in terms of real assets, get out of the system.
	And our guest today here, Chris Sullivan, talks about that.
	Now, by the way, he's very much pro-crypto.
	And as you know, Bitcoin maxis, as they're called.
	Some people believe Bitcoin is the new money and Bitcoin is going to save the world, etc.
	Other people think it's a total psyop and a total scam.
	Here's my take on it.
	Gold and silver are forever.
	They're not going anywhere.
	Your first and safest asset protection vehicle, in my opinion, should be gold and silver and maybe land.
	Crypto has other unique advantages, such as portability, divisibility, the distributed blockchain features of it.
	It's very hard to censor, very hard to seize.
	And if you use privacy crypto, like Monero or Firo or Xano, If you use privacy crypto, then no one knows how much you have or how you're using it, and no one can stop you from using it however you wish, right?
	But crypto has very high price volatility.
	And according to the guy we quoted earlier, David Bateman, he thinks crypto is going to collapse.
	He thinks crypto will collapse with the currency.
	And there is an interesting argument that sort of does lend itself to that notion, which is that Tether Which is the so-called stablecoin that is used to buy the majority of Bitcoin today.
	The tether is invested in treasuries as the asset that backs up tether.
	For the most part, it's treasuries.
	There's a few other vehicles in tether.
	But tether has never been properly audited.
	And think about this.
	If treasuries default, then effectively tether is backed by nothing.
	If that were to happen.
	Which would mean that all the tether that went in to purchase Bitcoin no longer has any value, which means you can't trade Bitcoin back for tether and back into dollars.
	So probably the bottom would fall out of the Bitcoin valuation if Treasury's defaulted because of the ties through tether.
	Now, that's just my guess, and there may be arguments in opposition to that.
	And I don't have a crystal ball on crypto.
	I have no idea where Bitcoin is going to go.
	I don't know if it's going to be $10,000 or $10 million.
	I really don't know.
	I do know that crypto has some intrinsic properties that it very beneficial for things like, like I said, portability, divisibility, speed of transactions internationally, etc.
	So I think crypto will always have a role in our global economic system.
	And I think it's a good idea to have some amount of crypto.
	Some amount.
	How much is that?
	Up to you.
	You know, some people say at least 0.1 Bitcoin, something like that.
	I don't know.
	But it's also technical.
	People have trouble with the wallets and the passwords and this and that, you know.
	If you own gold, you don't have to remember a password.
	You just have to remember where you put it, you know.
	So there are advantages and disadvantages.
	I say have gold and silver first.
	Have land.
	Own the roof over your head.
	You know, own your home free and clear if you can.
	can...
	Never buy on leverage.
	Never speculate in the crypto marketplace.
	You'll probably just end up getting burned.
	And whatever you put into crypto, be ready to lose it.
	Just like whatever you put in fiat dollars, be ready to lose all that too.
	Just in case.
	All right?
	So that's my take on it.
	But let's listen to Chris Sullivan here.
	So this is our decentralized TV episode for you here.
	First time we've ever interviewed Chris Sullivan, who is a listener to this program and this podcast, he said, by the way.
	And Todd and I both think that he's a brilliant guy and his analysis seems to be spot on, but you give it a listen and see what you think.
	So here we go.
	Enjoy this interview and we'll be back with you tomorrow.
	It's that time of the year again to grow your own food because of course there's nothing healthier and more nutritious than your own homegrown food and we have partnered again with the Arc Seed Kit Company and we carry their product line which is just an extraordinary product line of heirloom non-GMO non-hybrid seeds that have very high germination rates.
	We've got them on our website right now healthrangerstore.com slash seeds.
	And you can get the all-in-one seed kit here, which has about 50,000 seeds.
	I think it's 70 different varieties.
	You can get the backyard seed kit, which is a smaller version of that, or you can get five kits for the price of four and share with your neighbors, friends, or church, or community members with this Prepper Special, which they put together just for us.
	So ARK, A-R-K, stands for Agricultural Resource Kit.
	And if you can show a shot on my desk here, it shows you some of the seeds that are in the kit.
	And this comes in a 4-inch PVC, so it's rodent-proof, and it's sealed from oxygenation.
	And we're talking about high-protein varieties, as you can see there, and it's not just a bunch of lettuce seeds, okay?
	We're talking about beans and corn.
	Some of the beans have a couple hundred seeds in there per pack.
	The packs are well-filled.
	Again, it's not just a bunch of lettuce seeds.
	This is actually food that you can live on.
	High-protein varieties for different growing zones.
	There's a guide that's included with it.
	growing zones with instructions and a lot of know-how that goes into this.
	Even the seed selection itself, it takes years of experience to know the right combination that...
	So that's what the Arc Seed Kit is all about.
	So again, check it out at healthrangerstore.com slash seeds.
	And then also show on my desk here, show what it looks like.
	Yeah, you see there's the four inch tube that it comes in.
	That's for the all-in-one seed kit.
	Very rugged, durable.
	And then the backyard seed kit is in the gold pouch there.
	That's more affordable and has a subset of those seeds.
	There's also the seed growing guide there that is available separately.
	But thank you for supporting us and for supporting the Arc Seed Kit Company and also for supporting yourself in terms of your own self-reliance and your homesteading dreams which can be coming true with more heirloom seeds.
	Remember, you can save the seeds generation after generation.
	So they're not GMO, they're not hybrid.
	This is heirloom seeds for seed saving and even for storing as a future form of possible barter, like currency.
	Seeds can be currency.
	So check it out, healthrangerstore.com slash seeds.
	Thank you for supporting us.
	Thank you.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighttown.com.
	This is Decentralized TV, and we have a new guest for you, an episode about decentralizing your financial assets, your portfolio, and understanding how there's an effort underway by governments, including our own government, to centralize control over your finances.
	We'll talk about CBDCs, UBIs, and alternatives to mainstream fiat currency that's being printed into oblivion.
	And my co-host today, as always, is Todd Pittner.
	Welcome, Todd, the musician.
	You got a new song?
	Yes, I do.
	I do.
	Our Yarden of Eden.
	What a fun song to write, man.
	You are a great sunsei.
	Somebody for me to just copy.
	Well, I'll tell you, we will include your song at the end of today's broadcast so people can hear it because I think you did a great job.
	Thank you.
	And did you get that that cheat sheet of all the Suno prompts?
	That I sent out.
	What'd you think of that?
	I did.
	There were so many of them and I'm just like, oh man, this is going to put me down such a deep, dark labyrinth.
	Love. I can't wait.
	I can't wait.
	Yeah. I have this problem where I have a great song idea and then I'll try different styles and I'll have one style that's like an alternative rock style that I really love.
	And then this other electronica hybrid fusion style that I love even more, but I love them both.
	Right. It's like, it's like, yeah, you can't really be married to two women at the same time.
	And you got to pick one song.
	You know what I mean?
	Well, Mike, what I wanted to say, you know, there are certain interviews that people say are big gets.
	Yeah. Today's interview with Chris Sullivan is a big get, he's a BFD.
	Maybe I shouldn't have said that, you know, but I, People, please just step up, sit back, take a deep breath.
	You're about to learn something.
	Well, with that intro, let me bring in our guest.
	Chris Sullivan with Hyperion Decimus is the name of his financial management firm.
	Chris, thank you so much for joining us today.
	It's going to be great.
	Do you go by Chris or Christopher?
	What do you prefer?
	You can call me anything you want, Mike.
	I respond to pretty much anything other than communist, of which I'm not.
	We got Christus Bynes, Sully, my other trader nicknames, Colonel, you know, blah, blah, blah.
	Okay. Well, welcome, Chris.
	It's great to have you here.
	Welcome to the show.
	And you know what the show is all about, teaching people how to decentralize their lives.
	And you've been doing that for, what, 20 plus years.
	Tell us a little bit about your business and your background.
	We have traditional Finance background, got recruited out of college to go to the investment banking track.
	Started at Morgan Stanley after graduating and went through taking series 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 24, 30, 31, 33, 63, 215.
	Whoa. CRPC, CMT, MTM, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	So, you know, did all that and was, you know, trying to make a difference and
	And then, you know, this is pre-crisis.
	The GFC starts to happen, which was a fully engineered crisis, not a natural one.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	The GFC?
	Yeah. What's the GFC?
	Great Financial Crisis.
	Oh, you're talking about the subprime 2008?
	Correct. Oh, okay.
	And so we actually saw it coming July of 2007.
	You know, I did well during that environment.
	And because I just got out of the way and shorted a little bit.
	But then when you see how market structure markets function, this is before I learned about the LBMA papering over precious metals, but I did get clues into that on how crude oil trade is.
	Because just like we all on this call know that there's sacred geometry, there are certain fractals that correspond with a natural market, and there are certain execution techniques that professional money at risk take, right?
	And so, whenever the fractals don't match, and whenever the execution looks sloppy, that's likely money that has no consequence.
	And so, you can then derive the word manipulated after that.
	Spoofing is, and then one of my partners, once I left Morgan Stanley, is the famous Heim Bodek.
	He was the one who invented high-frequency trading in 1997.
	He's Mr. Dark Pools.
	You've probably seen him in And number of documentaries, books, etc.
	He invents high-frequency trading, negotiates the first payment-for-order flow contract with UBS and Schwab in 2004, then realizes what a beast he created, starts whistleblowing it, 2011 to 2013, gets blackballed by Wall Street, joins our firm after that, and here we are, you know, eight, nine years later.
	But because of the great financial crisis, Wow.
	So, do you think that Satoshi was a real person, was a decentralized person, or was maybe a cut-out for Some deep state operators that wanted a different way to slush money around?
	What do you think?
	You know, down the path of truth, Mike, as you both probably agree, Todd, like as you get more wisdom, I'm for sure I know I know nothing.
	So I cannot definitively say is the is the true truthful response, but I can give kind of three core pathways from my knowledge base in this in the space.
	One is definitely the black pill version, which is DARPA-based, right?
	Maybe it did, maybe it didn't.
	We are close with one of the predecessors to that, which is called eCache, and I'm not going to say the doctor's name who invented it.
	I don't want to get him in further trouble, but we are still in contact with him.
	So there was this idea back in 1989, and a couple of algorithms that they use certainly have their basis in DoD and DARPA research.
	So this isn't something that is Brand new.
	In fact, it's actually an echo of the way that Frederick Hayek described how we would get out of the central banking fiat modality.
	So you can go the black pill route, and then you can go the single, there's a single person named Satoshi route, and then the more logical is a kind of a combination of all three, the third being the cypherpunks in general, which would include names like Hal Finney, who has now passed away, or Doug Cole.
	So, I'm unsure, Mike.
	I think it's hard to argue that there's not a Genesis from the dark side, so to speak.
	But certainly, because of the way it was set up, and I can argue this till the cows come home, it's extremely protective of itself.
	And now that there are Layer 2 applications ad infinitum, and there's a Covenant Layer that can be added shortly, which then Effectively protects it against even quantum.
	So I really think the structure of the assets, the most important part of it, not its genesis.
	What got me, hooked me, Mike, was the, and the chancellor issue second bank bailout.
	I think it's line 11 of the code.
	And then that hooked me.
	And it's worth noting, and then Todd's got questions for you, but it's worth noting that even if Bitcoin was created by the intelligence community, So that they could move money around.
	Well, its properties are still very...
	They still have utility for people who don't have that same intent.
	People who just want to transfer money outside the banking system, which is increasingly, you know, contrived and shut down, etc.
	And so, you know, Bitcoin, it is what it is.
	Anybody can use it.
	But of course, here on the show, Todd and I, you know, we...
	We love the fact that Bitcoin exists, but we're also advocates of privacy coins even more.
	So Todd, let me bring you in, Todd.
	Where do you want to take this conversation?
	Sure. Do you know where I want to take it?
	So Chris, you've been instrumental in developing investment strategies within the digital asset space, obviously, and I'm interested in your insights relating to our quest for superior money, particularly the role of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies as superior means of exchanging value privately.
	And I have a few questions, but the first one, we can get to all of them or none of them, but we'll get to the first one at least.
	In the context of I love it and I'm glad you brought him up.
	Friedrich Hayek's vision of competitive private currencies.
	How do you assess the role of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero, Epic Cash, Zeno, Firo in today's financial ecosystem?
	Do you view them as embodiments of superior money due to their emphasis on anonymity and decentralization at all, Chris?
	You know, there's no perfection, Todd.
	Embodiment's a big ask.
	And I think if you wrapped a privacy layer around Bitcoin, it definitely would.
	Monero's probably the closest to that.
	Now, I'll give you a unique insight, because you don't know that I was actually part of Dash's foundation, which was a proof of work.
	I didn't know that.
	Oh, yeah, and we interviewed the Dash guy.
	Yeah, Ryan Taylor was the CEO, and he's a great, great guy.
	And you could see that that project It was heavily used along with Bitcoin in Colombia, which is where my wife is from.
	This goes back, so we actually started running nodes out of Costa Rica in 2018 on Dash.
	Wow. Yeah.
	So proof of work is the best algorithm.
	Privacy is the best modality.
	No questions asked.
	But there's also the element of what does the market want?
	So I'm not one to say, Better or worse, I could give you a subjective opinion, but I just don't have that expectation of the holy grail of assets.
	And I really think between the options of select privacy tokens, because really Zcash was in there too, and you didn't mention it, and I was also an advisor to Electric Coin Foundation briefly, and you know these projects can have this great tech, but if applications and use cases are not Brought to fruition, and the developers run out of capital, then the project's dead.
	Much like how technology, over time, either they're prevented from issuing a patent, or they're bought and put out of business, especially in the farm sector, or, you know, free energy, which has been around for, I don't know how many years, potentially thousands of years, right?
	That all of that technology's stifled.
	So, I do think that we have to play the hand we're dealt, Okay.
	Yeah, okay.
	I don't ever want to spend any of my Bitcoin, for example, for all of the reasons you guys have said on decentralized TV. It's a phenomenal store value that goes with my physical silver and my physical gold.
	And I can debank very quickly.
	But I would rather spend a cash equivalent digitally, which is a privacy token.
	A quick comment and then back to you, Todd.
	Yeah, I find that when when I want to purchase certain types of products such as CBD, a hemp oil extract, okay, which has, you know, extraordinary nutritional value and properties, there's a product that I don't want a record of that.
	In my credit card purchase, or a government to be able to spy on.
	So that's where I would use typically Monero would be the most frequently accepted coin for that.
	And there are other examples like purchasing VPN services, for example, where you want to use Monero.
	But I'm right there with you.
	Gold and silver and privacy crypto.
	Here's a Republic of Texas silver coin that was given to me by Doc Pete Chambers, a former Green Beret.
	It has the Alamo on it there.
	The original Texas Republic silver coin.
	And I'm always going to have this in addition to the crypto, right?
	Let me show you something.
	We're backing in the fund.
	You know, you have goldbacks.
	I've seen you show them on the show.
	Yeah. This is a.001 Satoshi note issued by nonprofit Bitcoin Bay Foundation.
	And scratch off here is a private key and the Bitcoin's right there.
	And so you store them exactly like you would goldbacks.
	No way.
	That is so cool.
	So this is the very first sample print.
	It's really cool.
	Wow. Let me back up.
	We influenced and helped write four bills that got passed defining Bitcoin as a monetary instrument and for ATMs here, Bitcoin ATMs here in Florida.
	We also are pushing Florida Spidey legislation.
	And then this, which is, this is allowed to be legal tender.
	Every vendor will take it.
	Wow. I love that idea.
	I like cash-like instruments.
	And it's all about, we talk about it all the time, Mike.
	It's about the use cases.
	Right? Absolutely.
	That becomes a beautiful retail use case.
	So, well done.
	We want to learn more on that.
	Yeah, we want to find out where can we get those.
	Yep, yep.
	I asked for the first sheet off this.
	Okay, keep us posted.
	And you probably should bring the guys who built it on the show.
	That makes sense.
	Yeah, let's do that.
	Please. Well, Chris, considering the increasing institutional interest in cryptocurrencies and the evolving regulatory environment, right, what challenges and opportunities do you foresee in the pursuit of establishing crypto as widely accepted superior money within the broader financial system?
	Yeah, great question, Todd.
	Those are two different paths.
	One's an investment path and one is a Currency path, right?
	I don't think they're correlated to be honest, right?
	So why I say that is, do you want me to go the currency side first or the institutional investment thesis side first?
	Go to the institutional side.
	So the logic would lay this pathway down.
	Well, equities are half paper.
	They can be bought back or secondary issued.
	I've got actually infinity risk with it.
	Management, HR, 401k plan, tax, all this number of risks.
	And then I've got this opacity where I don't get to see anything until they file quarterlies.
	And then these behemoths then have the ESGs and this, that, and the other.
	So what's occurred at that institutional level is assuming Digital assets are risk capital.
	The allocations that they're going to be making or have made are taking from equity capital.
	And I do see that there's no IPO engine.
	That's literally why the stock market should exist.
	So every equity of a company or even our fund has, because of its success, people want to tokenize it.
	I do think that the new equity model for startups will be tokenizing their stock of their company.
	It's hyper-efficient from a capital efficiency standpoint.
	And then from an investor standpoint, you get super or uber transparency.
	So that's how they're viewing it.
	And to be honest, because I am in those circles, they're not looking at this from just a P&L standpoint.
	They want orthogonal return streams within these large pool of assets.
	About 38% of public pensions are already in private, real estate, forest.
	Oil, wells, etc.
	Private equity ventures.
	So, they're more looking at this as, is this return stream going to zig when this zags?
	Is how they're appraising it.
	And that, since the stock market's effectively been in a secular bear market for a very long time, against a 99 high, especially when you look at the breadth, right?
	They can't have a, like market neutral, for example, I'm long 100, I'm short 100.
	Well, the performance of those and the betas and the correlations are not what they were Five years, 10 years, 20 years ago, right?
	So constructing a risk-managed portfolio has become extremely difficult.
	Passive has contributed to that.
	The fact that ETFs track indexes, they actually don't even own the assets, is something from a risk management standpoint that they're honestly very uncomfortable with.
	So would I. So that's really the investment thesis, is if we're going to have risk capital and we're comfortable now that the regulatory choke point zillions, I've been personally debanked and the fund's been debanked, that's a whole That's a whole, like, six months.
	Yeah, yeah, March of 23. So now that that's out of the way, that's how they're viewing it.
	Okay. What about the currency path?
	Currency path, this is neat.
	And Mike, you're a technologist, so you know, and Todd, forgive me, I don't know your tech background, but if you are, then you'll get this.
	The consumer isn't going to even know they're on-chain.
	That's the solution.
	So the interface, whether it's a GUI or it's an app, likely a combo, It's just going to be an interoperable infrastructure, whether it's on Polygon, or it's on Ethereum, or it's on Near, or it's on Bitcoin's blockchain, or all of the above.
	That is the creme de la creme, I'm off my Amex app, I'm off my bank app.
	So the consumer is not going to, and one of the services we actually provide for family office investors and institutions, because we want them to get their private keys, like for example, I've got We have branded ledgers for our clients.
	We consult and teach them how to use the wallets.
	Well, dude, you guys know.
	How much money have you lost trying to learn how to do this properly?
	I mean, I've lost thousands and thousands of dollars just figuring it all out.
	So we think that there's that side of it.
	And if institutions aren't going to really go beyond, OK, I can get Bitcoin and hold that, fine.
	But I want an allocation to professionals who know how to do this.
	The reality is that your front end that the consumer is going to see is just whatever they're currently looking at now, blockchain behind it.
	So that, okay, let me jump in.
	That's really fascinating that you say that, Chris, because I've come to the conclusion that a UBI is going to be launched.
	It's going to be necessary to prevent civil unrest when AI agents begin to really vastly displace large numbers of White-collar jobs, middle management, and administrative jobs.
	That's right on the horizon, right?
	The next 24-30 months, you're going to see a lot of that.
	And this is in addition to the big cuts that Trump or Doge has been making, USAID cutting government.
	You know, we're going to see maybe a million government workers out of work, and that's going to mean three to four million contractors that contracted to the government.
	So we're talking about really significant unemployment numbers.
	You're going to have to push a UBI out there, if you're Trump, in order to prevent an actual, like, French-style, you know, revolution, right?
	Now this UBI, and this is a question to you, this UBI, the way I figure it, but feel free to disagree with me if you think I'm wrong, this UBI will be on-chain But a centralized controlled government run chain, which is essentially a CBDC.
	So if you want the UBI, you got to take the CBDC to get it.
	Otherwise, you can still have this other parallel system, which is our current dollar system.
	You can work in that system, but those dollars are going to lose value rapidly because they're going to print more and more dollars for all these reasons.
	Yeah. What do you think?
	So your logic is sound, right?
	And so I'm not disagreeing with that analysis, but You know tech, Mike.
	You think these retards can roll this out?
	Good question!
	So I agree with you because that honestly that's that's step one of the great taking, Mike.
	That's right, that's right.
	And then you opt in and then there's your mark of the beast.
	Like that's what it is.
	You're spiritual, you know.
	That is on deck.
	Now what we know about FedNow, which is the wholesale CBDC network, is that Actually, they screwed up the rollout many, many times.
	So functionality...
	Remember, the central banks have done everything by corruption and fraud, not by skill.
	Good point.
	So they don't have the best technologists working for them as debts, right?
	And government can't do anything correct.
	So is there the very, very high probability and potentiality of the desire to do exactly what you just said?
	Absolutely. But I just don't see there being a window of time Between when they're going to start needing to QE print and rolling that out properly.
	Interesting. That's my humble appraisal of that.
	Because I think in June, July, it's very probable shit's going to hit the fan big time.
	Talk to us about what, what is, what, what kind of shit exactly?
	What is the volume of shit?
	Is it like, give us, give us more.
	How about ontological details?
	So, you know, I mean it in all of the senses, right?
	Like basically from maybe disclosures and unveiling of truths, whether it's the JFK stuff or the Epstein stuff or the UAP UFO stuff, also about the inner workings of who actually is the deep state.
	They also are the central banksters.
	And then the various genocides, whether via bioweapon or by kinetic war, I think all of that's kind of going this way.
	And then the financial markets are hilariously and also pathetically fake, over-levered, and the functionality that they provided no longer is there.
	So, big money and smart money, that is already moving.
	You can see it in gold.
	Paper suppression.
	Silver's an even larger percentage-based paper suppression.
	Bitcoin now has paper suppression on it.
	Nonetheless, if you're a billionaire or a thousandaire, you currently have three options, right?
	And then you also have to have land and guns and be prepped.
	So that smart money is already aware of that.
	See billionaires doing n number of bunkers in New Zealand, Hawaii, Switzerland, etc.
	Even my clients are some of them.
	So, I think that it's pretty obvious they're going to go ahead and dump everything on Trump.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I agree.
	And it's unfortunate for him and his team.
	I think this is kind of a dream team of people who I know, respect, and like, and trust to do the right thing, but they're getting set up and they really have to message to the public.
	a lot better than they've done so far.
	Well, gold just hit another record high on the day that we're filming this, and it hit 3,058 or very nearly that.
	So it's holding strength above 3,000, which even three months ago, people were saying, oh, it might hit 3,000 sometime later this year.
	And we're like, no, try two weeks, you know.
	It looks like, by the way, you, A lot better than they've done so far.
	Coalescing at the Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean within striking distance of Iran.
	And if Iran gets bombed by the US, oh my, I mean, actually, I'd like to ask you, Chris, what will that do to energy?
	What will that do to gold financial markets if that happens?
	My answer to that is kind of irrelevant, right?
	Yeah. You know, like, yes, Will energy markets explode higher?
	Will gold explode higher?
	Will Bitcoin explode higher?
	Yeah. Will nobody get their money out of the bank?
	Yeah. But we're going to have a lot bigger problems in finance if that happens.
	Like what?
	What are you thinking?
	You know, I think some of the things you've highlighted on shows, like grid down.
	I was actually just in Panama when they had a grid down a week ago.
	Oh, yeah.
	We were looking at real estate on a fully autonomous island off in the Caribbean side.
	So This is about an hour-ish from the city.
	We could see it in the distance when the lights went out.
	It was, honest to God, it was terrifying.
	Wow. So, it's not like humans were in the Depression, right?
	In the 20s, what was commonplace?
	84% of the population of Earth had a farm.
	They did not start, my grandmother In Connecticut had a dairy farm.
	They didn't even know there was a depression.
	There were poor Irish people who were used to being poor and Irish, but they didn't go hungry, right?
	So her childhood was not devastated by that.
	So I think we're in that really sad precarious and weak position from a survival standpoint in both food and ag supply as well as skills.
	That what the financial markets do, will I prey on and do well?
	Yes, but I'm a shark, that's my job, and I like doing it.
	But for the normies or NPCs or populace at large, it's going to be pretty terrifying.
	They've taken unknown numbers of vaccines.
	We're getting chemtrails of the vaccine also.
	I've been documenting that and slamming our governor almost twice a day with these photos of what they're doing.
	In Florida, Todd, I'm sure you're seeing it.
	You can see it on satellite.
	So, they're not going to have the bandwidth to process, hey, what, is it Israel bombing Iran?
	Wait, is that a U.S. stealth bomber?
	Who's actually doing this, right?
	So, I think from a psychological standpoint, and then a go 0.1, 0.2, 0.3.
	It'll be really, really devastating.
	Well, and Todd, the next question is yours.
	I'm sorry to interject, but I just have to point out that if the US bombs Iran, Iran will almost certainly close the Strait of Hormuz, which will cut off a lot of energy exports to Europe.
	Which is already dying from energy starvation because of their climate cultism combined with the fact that the U.S. Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
	Everybody knows that.
	So doesn't this spell total financial doom for much of Western Europe also?
	Or the planet.
	Tell me what financial system can survive it.
	Now maybe because Russia's off SWIFT.
	Yeah. That's what I was thinking.
	You can't great take their assets anymore.
	No. Right?
	And for your viewers who don't know what that is, I don't know if you've had David Webb on or not.
	I have, yeah, we've interviewed him.
	Okay, great.
	So they know.
	That's on deck, ladies and gentlemen.
	Yeah, 100% that's on, yeah, no question.
	It's all going to, there's going to be a default and a great taking.
	Todd, next question's yours.
	I'm sorry to keep dominating here.
	I just keep thinking.
	Follow-up.
	No problem, no problem.
	Chris, BlackRock released a three-minute Bitcoin explainer video that included a disclaimer stating, there is no guarantee Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap will not be changed.
	And to me, that was not a shocker at all, because I assert that the supply cap has already been changed due to the financialization of BTC via rehypothecation and fractional reserve practices.
	Chris, Would I be an absolute, your word earlier, retard to claim that the true effective supply of BTC is more like 50 or 60 million?
	Because, I mean, the banksters have kind of taken over Bitcoin, have they not?
	With the financial?
	No. I mean, it's the same thing on silver, right?
	What we can count is just at one futures exchange is 378x, the spot, right?
	That's right.
	What's silver supply?
	Infinity. Correct.
	Right? You can all day and every day on Bitcoin.
	And there's not just as they're not 21 million, there's actually under 19 million.
	Correct.
	Correct. Is the output of what you're saying from a paper perspective, and I agree with that.
	Okay. I'm not as concerned with the US dollar value of my Bitcoin.
	One Satoshi is one Satoshi.
	Oh, and if you're suppressing price, great, because I can buy more.
	Okay. Okay.
	So long as I'm earning fiat to deploy into assets, I give not a shit if they hold it down.
	So that's the way I feel about silver and gold.
	I feel like JP Morgan's manipulating silver.
	I can buy it at a discount.
	And so I do.
	And how we've actually structured our fund, Todd, to prey on this.
	Half the fund is long.
	We use five cold custodians off exchange.
	We actually have biometric plus MPC technology for those keys that we have.
	And then the rest is algo-based that will try and monetize whatever type of action is occurring.
	And so that gives us the best of both worlds of adding proceeds from algorithmic trading into building a war chest of long assets that we like, like Monero and Bitcoin.
	But to the everyday average cryptocurrency investor, like us and our viewers, doesn't this just scream of self-custody?
	Because they can play these games, but if you have self-custody of your BTC, you're Gucci, are you not?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah, you have to.
	So that is a lesson learned.
	Screw the paper BTC.
	Well, that's just an illusion of current price in USD terms or Yen terms or Euro terms, right?
	It's a construct, not the reality.
	The reality is you hold it on this, you're your own bank.
	Right, right.
	Well, I mean, like if there were a Comex for Bitcoin and then everybody wanted to take delivery at the end of their options contract, which is what's happening with gold and silver.
	The CME, I'm a market maker on the CME in BTC and Ethereum contracts.
	Guess what, Mike?
	They don't let you take delivery.
	It's Castelo only.
	Really? There's not, wow, there's not even a delivery option?
	No. So this is the stuff that, you know, as a young man, I was witness to and I'm like, well, that's not fair.
	And that doesn't make any sense.
	Not knowing the giant apparatus behind why that even exists.
	Well, and, and let me mention, I mean, the, the, The entire global gold and silver marketplace, as it is paperized, as it has been since the days of British pound sterling global domination as the world reserve currency, it is a massive fraud.
	It's a total freaking fraud.
	They don't have the metals that they claim to have.
	And this is about to be ripped wide open, I think, right now.
	Theoretically, yes, you're right, because there's a 600 million ounce deficit on gold at all these places, right?
	And there's been a big repatriation.
	But then look at the new contracts they've created.
	Look at the morning price.
	When New York opens, they slam it.
	It doesn't even matter.
	And the nickel is a great example of this.
	So look at nickel.
	I believe it was either Q1 22, Q1 21. Nickel goes up hundreds of percentage points.
	They freeze it.
	Trend-following hedge funds and private investors are the long side.
	They freeze it because it was literally bankrupting JPMorgan real-time.
	They issue more paper over it, they open it, drops 43% in one second.
	Poof. We got it back.
	Didn't they actually, didn't the LBMA reverse nickel trades during that event?
	Taking money from the long side of the investment?
	Yes! Which is an admission that it's all a total scam.
	It's worse.
	It's a total scam wrapped into a cartel that racketeers constantly.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Yeah. It's a mafia organization basically.
	And there's Satan worshipers on top of it.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	Why wouldn't they be child trafficking Satan worshipers?
	You know?
	Yeah. I've been in these circles.
	It is, I know we're making jest of it, but it is terrifying, Mike.
	It's, it's the, uh, who's, who's that, that British guy, that pedo British guy who looks like Satan.
	No, no, no.
	The, this other guy, he was like a, he was like a personality, like a celebrity personality.
	I keep forgetting his name.
	Oh, advisor to Prince Charles.
	Yeah. Advisor to Prince Charles.
	Yeah. That guy, like the, the, the metals market is the parallel of that guy in finance.
	It's like your worst possible monster.
	It's your vampire squid.
	You remember the propaganda that the guys that were killed on the Titanic had against the money trust, right?
	It's that giant squid, right?
	It is that vampire squid.
	The problem is that it's in agribusiness, it's in pharma, it's in media, it's in web 2 tech, right?
	There's not one sector that other than DeFi that they do not fully command.
	And while I love Roger Ver and he is actually, you guys like should really look at big cash, by the way, because of on a first principles basis.
	Oh yeah, for sure.
	We got to trade the hand we're dealt, right?
	No, we're big fans of Roger Ver.
	And I completely agree with his argument about the manipulation of blockchain size kept artificially small.
	I agree with Roger, but you're right.
	You know, what is the dominant crypto today?
	It's Bitcoin.
	Period. It's Bitcoin.
	It's got 15 years of blockchain history now.
	I've got tick data on it going back to 2015.
	Wow. It's fantastic.
	And you know data is value, right?
	Data equals value.
	What that value is can be subjective, but you just don't have the tenure on other chains.
	Plus, this chain has tried to be hacked by the smartest people on earth and they haven't been able to hack it.
	That's true.
	Yeah. That's true.
	Can we talk about Bitcoin's fungibility?
	Or some may assert lack thereof.
	So everybody, fungibility is the property that makes each unit interchangeable with one another.
	And since Bitcoin is a transparent ledger that's open to massive surveillance, centralized parties, exchanges and financial institutions, they can blacklist or they can freeze or even seize quote-unquote tainted coins.
	Like the Canadian government?
	Yeah, Chainalysis makes a living surveilling our crypto.
	Chris, what impact does BTC's fungibility, does it have any impact on your fund's operations?
	Not, I mean, I think it's a feature, not a bug, actually.
	You do?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I mean, it's part of one of the factors that make it a great asset, to be honest.
	Like, an asset has to be fungible, right?
	So, do I like or enjoy that they, and they definitely are tracking, to your point.
	No, And is there differentials between KYC Bitcoin and maybe Elder Bitcoin?
	Yeah, there is a technological difference.
	Do you have to risk assess any Bitcoin that you acquire?
	Oh yeah, and we have had to underwrite that.
	I don't want to jinx myself, knock on wood, but we were one of the only funds not exposed to any of the fraud that you all saw in both 2017, 2020, and 2022 through our underwriting process.
	We do have a tech We have our own software infrastructure, and we're not very good with hardware, I'll admit that, but we're pretty solid on underwriting tech.
	And so by doing that, Todd, we found, okay, Celsius, BlockFi, et al., FTX, they were re-hypothecating.
	We started to lose count after four.
	Wow. Right?
	So, but again, how many dollars are re-hypothecated?
	How much Apple stocks re-hypothecated?
	This is human input over the blockchain itself.
	So, again, I think it's a feature to have fungibility, right?
	Well, yeah, but let me clarify Todd's question as I understand it, which is, yeah, we all agree that fungibility is important, but what Todd is saying is that Bitcoin lacks full fungibility because some coins are tainted, whereas on a privacy blockchain there is no such thing as a tainted coin.
	Right, but define tainted.
	Well, that there's a history that can be traced back to the Silk Road or something like that, for example.
	Well, but do you think that's actually a tainted history?
	Well, it doesn't matter what I think.
	It matters what the government thinks and they're trying to lock down wallets and ban you from interactions with banks and things like that.
	It's centralized.
	It's everything that we are, that our show is against, and not against, but centralized parties, centralized control.
	100% But they can ban you from using Monero too, Todd.
	Yeah, they can try, they can, and it's a little bit more difficult for them, and then there are other cryptocurrencies that they can't yet.
	Yeah, I mean, but look, BTC is the grandfather of them all.
	And I was just curious, with your fund, whether it was a consideration to say, hey, look, we can't just buy every Bitcoin that comes our way.
	We need to discern whether or not it is a tainted Bitcoin, and thus you have to make maybe an incremental investment to buy a clean Bitcoin.
	I don't know.
	What the hell?
	Well, and there is premium on non-KYC Bitcoin, Todd, to your point.
	And yes, Yeah, you know, early on we weren't as conscious of these issues, right?
	Because they really didn't exist in the early days of trading and arbitraging.
	Sure. Because initially, like, oh, wow, magic internet money that meets HIAC's criteria.
	Great, yay!
	So we've kind of rolled with the punches to the best of our ability from an appraisal, risk assessment, tech underwriting.
	We've always got that SOC 2 compliant kind of overtone to how we're viewing things.
	And I'm as critical and gnarly as it gets, Todd.
	Okay. As DeFi, I mean, we were one of the founders of the DeFi Alliance.
	So, why I'm not necessarily pushing back, I'm just focusing on a first principles side.
	Sure. Okay, how do we apply that in our current environment where people have rehypoths, where there's now paper ETFs?
	And I can dive into that.
	It's depending on how long you want me to be negative.
	But from our perspective, we want to be As clean and precise and pristine as we possibly can, and so if it's physically able to be underwritten to the tune of who we're buying it from, does it have that history?
	We were actually on with Chain Analysis earlier this morning doing this, Todd.
	Now, I don't like that everybody's monitoring us, but they're watching us now.
	DARPA's watching us now.
	We're on a Zoom conference.
	Yeah, right.
	Sure. You know, I want to serve my investors and my portfolio to the best of our ability and do exactly what you just suggested.
	Do we consider this?
	Do we analyze things differently?
	Or are we just blindly okay with whatever?
	I think most people are blindly okay with everything.
	I have a really dim view of humanity in general.
	I think 98% of people don't give a crap about privacy or anything like that, but there are 2% of us who do.
	But the funny thing about all of this is with crypto, in my opinion, is that The way regulatory challenges paint it is that those of us who do want to exchange value privately are likely needing to do something nefarious.
	And I don't like that.
	No, and that's because of the construct we're playing in.
	And then I will give you some carrots on this.
	There is an e-cash, it's called Chamian Cash, that's coming out of Testnet, which is on top of Bitcoin as collateral.
	Because I think what's going to end up happening is Bitcoin is pristine collateral to recapitalize the banking system or central banks.
	So instead of central banks, you could recapitalize the planet with Bitcoin.
	And there's so much.
	One other layer, too, I'm involved in is where we've got private lightning node channel, a smart contract overlay that you, let's say, Todd, you want to borrow one bit for me, and I'm going to charge you 4% annualized.
	We're going to do it for 30 days.
	We'd lock that in a smart contract over private lightning node.
	And the frequency with or the latency with which you could go down to is at block time.
	Then there are hash rate and block size derivative to Roger Ver and your points because this was artificially kept low.
	Now there's an arms race because it's actually exploding because of the adoption and the use and the liquidity of Bitcoin.
	And that's why all of these things that we can point to that aren't perfect, right?
	They're actually these features that are getting solved for in real time.
	Okay, that's good.
	And I think through zero knowledge, there could be applications on any asset, whether it's Ethereum.
	Monero is already the gangster of privacy coins.
	Like, that's how I view it.
	It is a badass mofo.
	And we, I don't know, can I disclose this?
	If the SEC is watching, you know, we hold a core position in Monero.
	Because of that.
	Well, I'm a huge fan of Monero.
	And other privacy coins.
	And I love the fact that Monero continues to innovate.
	And also we've interviewed Ruben Yap several times from Firo, right?
	And I know that his team also, I think they share ideas with Monero's team and builders and so on.
	And so there's a lot of innovation in this space.
	But I want to ask you, before we run out of time, about the dollar, about where the dollar is going.
	Because And what are the implications of this on crypto assets and metals or other assets?
	Because it's clear to me that Trump is going to be forced, and it's not his fault, but you would make the same call, Todd.
	If you were President, Todd, you would be forced to do the same thing Trump is going to do.
	I would as well.
	You're going to be forced to print trillions upon trillions of fiat currency dollars in order to cover all the things you're trying to do, like, you know, Slashing the income tax and then put out a UBI.
	And, uh, well, I mean, this is $10 trillion in treasury debt that's coming due to roll over this year, this calendar year.
	You gotta find buyers for $10 trillion.
	Yes and no, Mike.
	All right, let's hear it.
	Let's hear it.
	Do they really have to find a buyer for it?
	Well, they'll, they'll print their own.
	The Fed will print and buy it.
	Yeah. Yes.
	And then, But then we have magic money.
	Absolutely. So I thought the Fed monetizing the debt was already magic money.
	No, Mike and Todd, we get to just go poof.
	Here it is.
	We don't even need treasury bonds.
	So, you know, five years ago, would I be right in line exactly what you're saying?
	Yeah. But in reality, do they have to do?
	We don't even know is the answer.
	Right. And what we may find out prior to the need, which I think is on deck, Mike, I agree with you and Todd on this, June, July-ish, Maybe before.
	But we may find out from the Doge guys and or more disclosures that there's already a hundred times, a thousand times the dollar fiat that's already in existence now.
	Does that cause the loss in faith?
	Because right now we're on the faith.
	That's it.
	That's true.
	If people just opt out mentally, it's already done.
	And I think the globalists, if they do the Iran thing and the great taking, that is what it is.
	That might be all she wrote.
	But sans that optionality, then I think it's, as consciousness, which I believe is rising, and I can feel it, sense it, if we just all go, all right, we're done, opt out.
	If they print or not, it doesn't even matter, because all the value is subjective any damn way, right?
	True. So if you want, you know, some product out of my food force and I want one out of your food force, we're gonna make a market in that.
	Regardless of any exterior influence, right, Todd?
	Yeah, and I mean, I'll have Amazon-type delivery with my raccoons to be able to take it over to your food forest.
	What about you, Chris?
	Horse and buggy, you know.
	Todd has flying raccoons, though.
	They're like drones.
	But the government will pay its benefits in currency.
	That will include pensions, that will include food stamps and UBI's.
	That's how the government will get its tentacles into Forcing people to continue to use its fiat system is through the government benefits.
	But for those of us who don't receive any of that stuff, I've never had a USAID grant.
	Thank God.
	We're free to use whatever system we want.
	And I'm going to opt out of the entire government fiat currency system every chance I get.
	I kind of did that in 2013 mentally and then have done it more physically the last five years.
	It's got to be.
	You got to be really precise with who you do business with, but it is possible.
	And then all these cash app machines now accept Bitcoin, right?
	So you can use that on a day-to-day basis.
	Like I said earlier, I don't want to spend that because of its scarcity, really.
	Primarily, that's it.
	I don't care about anything else.
	I want scarce assets, just like farmland and water.
	But Mike, to your point about the dollar, it's already down around seven year to date.
	It's hard to argue against the hyperinflation side, Mike, but it appears we've rolled into deflation globally already.
	Deflation of what?
	Deflation in terms of credit creation, in terms of demand, pure demand.
	Oh, well, clearly, yeah.
	Demand is plummeting.
	Yeah. And so the rate of change now is high enough there.
	Okay, you see egg prices come down, OJ come down, aluminum come down, not a magnitude enough for the public to really notice, but on the charts, on a log chart, you're like, okay, the trend changed, at least in classic terms.
	So I'm kind of on a 80-20 fence where 80, the exact scenario you just proposed, and it's literally on deck the next 90 days or so, or there's this 30, 20, 30 percent chance that Well, And then the bond market just goes poof.
	And that actually is a great thing because we don't have to recapitalize anything.
	Right? So a debt jubilee is actually the best case scenario.
	Investors don't like hearing that.
	and some say that this is what Trump is trying to achieve.
	Yes. To clear the debt.
	I mean, I've briefed some people on how to fix Treasury, and it includes defaulting on the Fed.
	Yeah, I think it's inevitable, personally.
	You can default on the nine-trill that they own, right?
	And then pay back investors that are domestic, or all investors, like mom-and-pops, mutual funds, pensions, etc.
	So that frees up quite a bit of balance sheet, and if they actually cut one trillion a year of CapEx, We actually get on on decent ground because like what are all alternatives you want you want reninbi you want your you want euros right oh god please no right so we have to again play the hand we're dealt right and i think whatever scenario it is it's going to move fast it's going to move hard people are already way out of position both of you have done a fantastic job since
	the inception of decentralized tv to tutor people And then prepping.
	But honest to God, the window for doing that is very small now.
	Clearly. Clearly.
	And really, I think people should be rushing to buy gold and silver.
	And even the word buy is wrong.
	It's really exiting fiat.
	People should be getting the hell out of fiat.
	And maybe that's gold, maybe silver, maybe crypto, maybe land, whatever it is, something that's not fiat.
	And yet it's only a few percentage of people who are awake Like those are the ones that, you know, like when, when, when you're on the beach in Indonesia or wherever, and, and the ocean water goes out all of a sudden, you're like, wow, where'd all the water go?
	The smart people like run, run.
	And the stupid people like, Hey, let's go out farther and see what happens.
	You know, like this is where we are.
	Seashells. Yeah.
	Well, you know, if you say it has value, Todd, I believe you.
	I think for the purposes of value creation for your viewers, Mike, I think my guidance would be don't focus on just a one-size-fits-all solution.
	Right. Be competent and strong up here, right?
	Most of what's going to happen in terms of the outbreaks of violence are because of a weakness of psychology.
	And again, I think the magnitude of what's coming is an order of magnitude higher than the Great Depression, but Look, look at that example.
	No matter where you were in the world.
	Yeah, where people starving in the Weimar Republic and using two million German marks to buy a loaf of bread.
	Yeah, but it still is not that was not as bad as it's about to get.
	Right? Because not everybody had running water or the idiot phone and and just people are a lot stronger and less demanding and less narcissistic than they are currently.
	Yeah, that's right.
	And people have real skills.
	Like today, very few people under the age of 30 can change a car tire.
	It's just a few screws and, you know, it's not even that hard.
	There's a lot of younger people that don't know how to use a pencil sharpener because they've never seen a pencil or ever sharpened or ever used one.
	It's like, wow.
	It's really sad.
	My 9-year-old and 11-year-old, they have their own guns, and I do my best.
	My 11-year-old's a hacker already.
	He's got his own hardware wallets.
	I printed a Bitcoin on a piece of silver, so that's got the QR code.
	That's awesome.
	We call it ultrasound money, right?
	Yeah. Right?
	It's super cool.
	We've turned them into DGNs, and a lot of their classmates think that I'm a money launderer.
	I love that.
	Again, like, we can go down the scenarios here, and I think it's important for people like us to Game Theory us out real time for folks, because they've got to take charge and be responsible for their trading plan, prepping plan, and then food plan, and all of what you guys do have done that better than anybody I've seen,
	and I'm not trying to over flatter you guys, but I think my message to them is get off your ass, get to work, gold, silver, Bitcoin, privacy tokens at a bare minimum, and you ought to get good at using Dex exchanges, because we're going to have to transact.
	Great point.
	And Dex exchanges, we'll highlight Uniswap here because it's the eldest and most productive.
	$4.2 trillion is already traded on that.
	Wow. Crazy.
	So this is something that's not going to go away.
	And then look at the capital that's in crypto.
	One thing that's neat about the stablecoins, guys, is true or false, once the money is tokenized onto, let's say, Tether, which has treasuries behind it, Bitcoin, et cetera, Once it's in that technological ecosystem, does it matter if there's a dollar in the bank?
	No. No.
	So right now there's actually the highest amount of buying power for good assets like all the ones we've been discussing that will actually have to panic in out of those stable coins, not back to the bank.
	Because it's not going to leave the ecosystem, right?
	Because that is freedom of choice that led to those assets in those stable coins.
	You think Goldman Sachs has USDC on Ethereum for their own reserves?
	No, because they don't need it, right?
	They just get the money from the Fed.
	So this is kind of a unique thing to appraise where we've not had this example real time.
	In previous banking crises, whether it was in the late 19th century, 1907, 1929, we didn't have this other system in existence to look at and then we've got 15 years of data on it and a good five years of data on just the DeFi ecosystem.
	What I can tell you from a trading perspective, this tech works down to the penny.
	Whether it's your liquidation vaults on Maker, or it's your ribbon finance option vaults, the DEXs like DYDX or Uniswap, the automated market-making machines, these things are unreal.
	And yeah, is there MEV?
	Can you front run on a mempool?
	Sure, but the people with the tech acumen to do that are maybe 40, right?
	It's not...
	It's not like you're getting front run every time you go in your 401k.
	Well, and versus the dollar where you're getting screwed daily because this one group can just print unlimited volumes of it where you have to go earn it, right?
	So the dollar system is the scam and as we all know, but I just want to mention to your point, Chris, and then we got to wrap this up.
	I have never sold crypto for fiat, not once.
	I've only gone the other direction.
	I have bought Crypto with fiat and it's always stayed in the crypto ecosystem and I can't see a situation where I would ever want fiat instead of the crypto that I have.
	It makes no sense.
	Mike, some of the biggest money coming to me just in this week are the big lab companies of these developers going, oh crap, we've done well, we've got all this fiat.
	Sully, Help me out.
	We need to put some in the fund.
	We need your consulting on Treasury, because we need it in the ecosystem before the fiat one just disappears.
	Right. And sure, will they be precise on the price act?
	That doesn't even matter to them.
	They just know that we love this system, and we'll go down with the ship if it doesn't work, because this is one of humanity's last hopes, to be honest.
	And that's a really interesting thing to see from a commit standpoint.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	Wow. All right, Todd, any last comments or questions?
	Just that Sully just ruined the term CBDC for me, because now anytime I hear that, what's going to play in my head is, do you really think these retards can do that?
	That sounds like your next song, Todd.
	The best line of these two years of decentralized TV, do you really think?
	It may be a song.
	I may have to do something with that.
	I would answer that and say they're going to do the same job on CBDCs that they did on Obamacare.
	So there you go.
	That's what it's going to work like.
	Well, and comforting me in this equation is there are good people at minimum as a buffer now, right?
	Like RFK, Tulsi, even Donnie.
	For all his faults, what they did to him in Pennsylvania, I feel, has changed him, right?
	And he wants peace, abundance, and prosperity.
	It doesn't matter who he also helps that we all don't like as well.
	But, you know, we've got the best shot I think we've had, at least while I've been alive.
	Agreed. That's super awesome.
	And then we've got the tech and the awareness to solve all of these issues.
	The solves are easy.
	The political will is the hard part and breaking apart that central control, which is what this show is all about.
	So look, Chris, this has been a fascinating conversation.
	I hope the first of many yet to come.
	I'm so glad that you could take time for us today.
	Let me give out your website and give us a brief description.
	You do manage assets for people, correct?
	Tell us about that.
	Yeah, because I can't be a general of a militia, Mike.
	We are an asset management firm in digital assets.
	We've got a pure long short hedge fund for those who are not looking to build wealth in accumulation of assets.
	And then we have a multi-strat that's been around since 2017, full big boy type fund with big auditors like KPMG.
	Delaware came in traditional, as if we were a giant Wall Street hedge fund.
	But we don't have to exist like that because we're self-funded.
	My partners and I are actually our biggest client still.
	So we exist to help families and ideally pensioner money because they get raked over the coals left and right on Wall Street to build wealth successfully with discipline and process and with people that support them at the bottoms up layer.
	I think we're one of few funds like this that exists on earth and we're doing it.
	I'm not retiring.
	We've had buyout options.
	We're doing this till we're Good for you guys.
	Wow. Okay.
	Hyperion Decimus is the website and the company name spelled, you know, I'm going to say like, what do we say?
	Greek style?
	Yeah, actually Hyperion is the god of truth, wisdom, and light, and that echoes passages from Mark and Luke, right?
	I am the way, the truth, and light.
	And then Decimus is the Roman general that fought back against Rome.
	So there's that rebellion element to it where bring in goodness, peace, truth, wisdom, and light, and then bring in the fire.
	Wasn't Decimus Brutus?
	There's many Decimuses.
	But depending on which one you want to reference.
	The one we're referencing is the General Decimus, and I believe it was right after Marcus Aurelius in Time Horizon.
	That would be the Decimi, the group.
	Sorry, Mike, I'm from Florida.
	I'm not that smart.
	The Decimuses.
	No, the Decimuses is the wife of Decimus.
	But OK, so anyway.
	This is just fascinating.
	And Chris, thank you so much for taking the time here today.
	And Todd, always, you do great research and you have great questions.
	And, you know, I think the bottom line is all three of us are on the same page on the core issues here, which is, folks, if you stay in fiat, you are screwed.
	Yep. Like, there you go.
	That's the takeaway from this show.
	So be smart about what you do.
	Don't use this show as financial advice or investment advice.
	Do your own research, get your own professional advisors, or connect with Chris and his company if you want to go that route.
	But cover your ass, because your ass is about to get handed to you if you stay in fiat.
	I mean, bottom line, right?
	Bottom line.
	Honestly, most people aren't going to listen, Mike, as cogent as what you just said was, but that's why we're here to raise awareness on it.
	Try and be helpful.
	That's right.
	And for those who do listen, self-custody, please.
	Self-custody.
	Have it in your hands.
	That's right.
	There's really good hardware solutions, Ledger, Trezor, etc.
	item, not paid advertisement, but please get all of them.
	That's what I've done and played around and figured out which ones I like.
	Yeah. And that learning process, just like the Food Force stuff, it's a beautiful, harmonious process, and you command extra skills, which builds confidence, raises confidence.
	Bingo. It can't hurt you to do this.
	It's just stacking talent, your own personal talent.
	And it doesn't have to be much talent, but a little bit more than yesterday on that stack, man, it comes back and it pays huge dividends down the line.
	That's right.
	It really does.
	Well said.
	All right.
	Well, Chris, thank you so much.
	We appreciate your time and all your wisdom and hard earned wisdom as well.
	But thank you for joining us today.
	And we're going to take a break and we'll come back after this with the after party discussion.
	Todd and I will do that.
	But thank you for joining us, Chris.
	It's been a pleasure.
	Thanks, guys.
	Thanks, Chris.
	Cheers. Bye bye.
	All right.
	Stay with us.
	We'll be right back after this break.

	All right, welcome back, folks.
	This is the official after party and Todd.
	So, hey, this is the first time we both got to meet Chris Sullivan.
	What'd you think?
	Well, before we got on, I said, man, what a good dude, right?
	He just seems like I mean, he's so accomplished at what he's done.
	And if people really look into his history and his track record, he is a big get, an interview get.
	I mean, he's amazing.
	And yet I found, you know, at least from my standpoint, I was so comfortable with him, so comfortable talking with him.
	And I love people with that personality type.
	You know, I can understand why he's so successful.
	And also very uncensored because we've, well, I've interviewed guests.
	Outside of this program who tend to really just kind of Sterilize their words because they don't want to sound too controversial and that's not Chris Sullivan Good point.
	Yeah. Yeah, he didn't hold anything back.
	No, he he's that he's definitely one of us, you know Yeah, I love the fact that he's teaching his kids how to use guns and crypto like that Those are important kid skills, you know When I grow up I want to be Chris's son And I'm sure he's focused on safety with both of them, like how to safely handle firearms and how to keep your money safe.
	And those two things actually go together.
	You got to protect your life over here with these Glocks, and then you got to protect your finances over here with these Bitcoins, you know?
	It actually goes together.
	The Bitcoins can buy you more Glocks, which protect more Bitcoin.
	You know, it's a vicious circle of goodness.
	All right.
	Well, thank you for bringing the questions today.
	You're welcome.
	Also, I was really struck by the fact that he gave a timetable here today.
	He said that he thinks it's going to hit the fan by, I think he said June or July of this year, right?
	He did.
	That surprised me.
	Yeah. And it's, you know, he talked about the great taking and he talked about essentially the treasury defaulting on the debt to the Fed.
	Okay, so that's interesting.
	Because a lot of the Treasury IOUs are to the Federal Reserve, which is a globalist banking cartel.
	Yeah. Not controlled by the U.S. government or the people.
	And he did mention after we kind of got off and we were saying our goodbyes, he did mention that this banking cabal, this world, he said, you think they're evil?
	He's like way worse than you can imagine.
	Oh, yeah.
	Big time.
	Big time.
	So I think that that may inform his his timetable to where we aren't thinking that way because we don't have that inside baseball.
	But so I am going to be paying attention to June and July for sure.
	Yeah. Well, it's good to I mean, I don't focus on any specific calendar day or anything like that.
	I just think that We should always be moving out of fiat and into things that will hold value or that have improved properties like self-custody, right?
	And one of the things we didn't talk about today is the fact that Bitcoin, even though you talked about rehypothecation, Bitcoin cannot be counterfeited like dollars can.
	Of course, the dollar counterfeiting is only, it's controlled by one group, the Fed, but Bitcoin can't be counterfeited by anybody, which No, but I think the takeaway here, I was thinking about that as we were all talking, the takeaway is nothing changes under the sun, man.
	Solomon got it right.
	This 2%, 98% I think is real.
	And I think 98% of the people out there are going to be super happy investing in cash Bitcoin.
	I mean, paper Bitcoin.
	I bought the paid Bitcoin, you know?
	It's that 2% who are going to recognize, no, take self-custody.
	And then you really have Bitcoin.
	So you're right, it can't be counterfeit, but they can sure sell a lot more of it than exists.
	And they, I mean, the cabal.
	Well, right.
	But this is how banks work right now, right?
	People take cash, put it in a bank, and then they think That they have the money because they can log in and see numbers on a screen.
	Right. But the bank doesn't put their cash in a room.
	No. No.
	So that's it's all rehypothecated by the bank called fractional reserve banking.
	Right. So that's the system that people are accustomed to.
	So they think that if they if they just buy essentially paper contracts on Bitcoin, they think it's just as good as buying Bitcoin.
	Yeah, it's not.
	It's not.
	It's not even close.
	Well, and bank bail-ins prove all this on the dollar side.
	You know, a bank can just collapse, and this is the great taking.
	A bank can collapse and just seize your money.
	But let me use this as an opportunity, Mike, because this is going to be a regular DTV episode.
	I want to use this as an opportunity to be able to share with people that we have our 10-episode docu-series.
	Do you want to talk about that?
	Because I want to talk about crypto a little bit after you tee up what it is, Mike.
	Yeah, it's called Breaking the Chains Decentralize Your Life, and this is a docu-series that Todd, you and I have put together with exclusive interviews and exclusive bonus material.
	We don't yet have a calendar date for it, but it's going to air for free at brightu.com.
	And like all the docuseries there, you'll be able to watch it for free by just registering your email, or you can optionally purchase the series.
	And that entire series, Todd, as you know, is focused on practical steps that people can use to decentralize their life in business, finance, food, medicine, liberty, law.
	I mean, I've interviewed an attorney for this as well.
	Brian Festa was who I interviewed on this.
	And many other areas, how to decentralize your life in a practical way, not theoretical.
	That's what it's all about.
	And you know, we have an episode.
	Ashton Addison, we've interviewed him before.
	He's the crypto coin show guy.
	He and I did.
	And man, it's going to be long, but it's worth it, man.
	If you are crypto curious at all, we did a really nice, long, comprehensive video on Cryptocurrency in general.
	It is so educational.
	And so we talked about everything.
	Maybe we went overboard and we're giving you too much information, but I think you're going to enjoy it.
	But what's really, really cool is then I have retained a consultant who is excellent, who is going to, for the bonus material, I gave him a thousand dollars of fiat.
	To be able to go out and video from the second he has it in his bank account to the endgame, where he is going to go through and show you the exact process on how to get $1,000
	from your bank account onto an exchange, into a decentralized exchange, to be able to acquire Privacy coins, not just Bitcoin, USDT, and ultimately take self-custody on your own mobile wallet.
	And he's going to do that.
	So it's just so simple as one, two, three.
	All you have to do is follow along because I thought, man, we talk a lot about crypto, but some people are just overwhelmed by it, but no more.
	You are going to have personal coaching with the bonus material of the documentary.
	That's so great because The whole point of this docuseries is to make it a how-to, you know, step-by-step.
	And we also did an interview of Joshua Hale on AI, how to use AI to decentralize your life, which is a subject that I strongly agree with, given that we're releasing an AI model that's open source also.
	But in every area, there's a solution.
	You know, decentralize yourself out of the medical system.
	I mean, that traps a lot of people in a very bad, You know, a bad cycle of dependence on doctors and pharmaceuticals and pharmacies and insurance payments, all that garbage.
	I don't, you know, I don't participate in any of that.
	I don't, I don't have a doctor.
	I don't have a GP.
	I don't, I don't, I don't do annual checkups.
	I, I, I check out my own situation.
	Hey, how am I doing?
	I'm doing fine.
	Yeah. I can take my pulse right there.
	I can take my, I don't need a doctor to tell me how I'm doing.
	Yeah. Yeah, and plus you have a superpower avocado drink, so you know that there's nothing that's going to be bad for you.
	This is what keeps me going for 20 years.
	But yes, so with the docuseries and the bonus material, I'm just telling you the bonus material is going to be so worth it for those of you who want it.
	You know, absorb all of this on your own time.
	And one of the things that Joshua did is he took Jim Gale and his whole team through a free session to where you are going to be able to be a voyeur and just witness this transformation.
	Sorry, you're going to be able to witness this transformation through AI technology on how they Established in less than an hour, this amazing business plan that is so on point that came to it with this logo that would blow your mind.
	I'm talking from scratch.
	It's amazing.
	So I can't wait for people to be able to see that, Mike.
	And you know, we're going to, of course, teach people to keep more of what they earn.
	Oh, can I show you something, Mike?
	Yeah. I got it.
	I got it today.
	This is the first one.
	You know, with my website, my575e.com, I help people keep more of what they earn with what's called an unincorporated nonprofit association.
	I am happy to say we're well over 150 people that we've helped over the last year, and I always joke with people.
	I say the only recurring expense that you have on this is annually.
	You have to invest in a thank you card and a stamp and send me a thank you card on April 15th every year because you've saved so much money in taxes.
	So I got my first one today.
	It came in the mail.
	Great. It was so funny.
	It just gave me a giggle.
	It was thank you for helping me save.
	Oh man, that's awesome.
	And this is the season right now.
	This is so-called tax season right now.
	Where, you know, tens of millions of Americans are wasting billions of hours trying to comply with a completely insane, nonsensical tax system that nobody can make any sense of.
	So let's talk about your website, my575e.com.
	I've got a tab with it right here.
	Tell us about this.
	Yeah, what I really recommend, look, if you are a W-2 earner, a 1099 earner, if you're a contracted employee, You just want to at least go to this website, put in your name, email address, and then that'll give you full access to the next phase of the site, which is a 90-minute video where I interview the subject matter expert on this, Dennis Gray.
	He's been at this for 35 years.
	He's helped over 1,100 people with these, not one issue ever.
	And there's a PDF document that you can download.
	And the other last thing I just want to share with people, by the time you're done with that due diligence, you're going to be like, wow, I need to do this.
	But it sounds too good to be true, right?
	And so you may have some questions.
	And what I invite you to do, and I make it real easy right there on the site, do what a lot of people have done.
	is they book a session with me, and it is a $150 session, but I always tell everybody I want to give it back to you.
	I only do that because, Mike, I've shared before, when I didn't charge anything, 7 out of 10 people don't show up.
	It just boggles my mind, but that's the math.
	And so with it, though, if you move forward with a UNA, you get that back.
	You just take it off the top.
	And most people who do book a session, they do move forward with it.
	And, you know, because everybody Most people have real personal questions, and I help them through that.
	But it's just something that, Mike, you know it is my form of activism right now, and I just have enough people who have voted, who have moved forward with it, who are in our private telegram group that can give testimony to the fact that they are sure fact, sure happy that, you know, I started discussing this a year ago.
	Well, and what's interesting is that Trump says he wants to end the IRS.
	Good luck with that.
	Yeah, but he also says he wants to have no taxes, no federal income taxes for people who earn 150k or less per year.
	Well, actually, a UNA, when properly constructed and properly used, can put somebody in that position largely right now.
	Absolutely. The one secret is you can take your W-2 income Donate 60% of your adjusted gross income to your unincorporated nonprofit association that you control and lower your tax basis by that same 60%.
	So if your AGI was $100,000 and you're paying, let's say, 30% federal and state on that $100,000, that's $30,000.
	Whereas if you donate $60,000 from your right pocket to your left pocket, Now your AGI goes down to $40,000.
	So now you're only paying, what is that?
	$12,500 on that same money.
	And so you're saving $20,000-ish.
	I'm using rough numbers.
	But that's where people have this big aha.
	And so you're right, it can lower your basis.
	And everything is lawful.
	We share all of the legal, the accounting, the Yeah, good point.
	There is just a general disclaimer on this show, because we talked about crypto, we talked about finance, and so much more.
	Folks, don't take this as financial advice.
	Do your research.
	But that's what you're offering people to do, is to do the research, At your website, my575e.com, learn about it, watch the video, and then they can consult with financial advisors, they can do more research, make their own decision.
	I always, in a consultation, I begin, I said, I said, hey, my lawyer tells me to say this.
	I'm not the lawyer he is.
	I'm not an accountant.
	I'm not a financial advisor.
	I'm just a regular dude who came across this entity five and a half years ago and found it to be really, really good for my wife, me, our family.
	And now I'm just it's my form of activism to let other people know that exists.
	But I'm not, you know, Todd Kerdamas.
	I don't know if Trump is if Trump is going to if the IRS is going to, you know, go away.
	I just doubt it.
	I don't I don't.
	Make financial decisions based upon political rhetoric, Mike.
	Well, yeah, that's true.
	Probably the whole system will go bankrupt before anything is formally shut down, which means it'll all be effectively shut down at some point, but we don't know what day that is.
	And when that day cometh, you don't want to be sitting on dollars.
	You want to have it converted into something else.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	I'm converting a bunch of mine right in my backyard right now.
	The sunshine shining down on it.
	Oh boy.
	Well, we converted a bunch of fiat into concrete.
	So we, over the last few months, we poured concrete for new, cause we're expanding operations and we're building a new studio building.
	So concrete's real, you know, rebar is real.
	It is.
	It's not fancy.
	It's not, it's not, Like super awesome, amazing crypto, but it's in the ground and it's not going anywhere.
	It's like, I don't think they can come confiscate it either.
	It's like, oh, you want the concrete?
	Bring a bunch of big ass machines if you want to start digging, but it's going to be work.
	And until you put up that roof, your guests can land a helicopter on it, I imagine.
	They did, yeah.
	Gary Haven landed his helicopter on one of the pieces out here.
	Alright, let me mention our sponsor for the show is the Satellite Phone Store and if you go to Starlink123.com that will forward you to this page.
	They now have deals with Starlink that are a better deal than Starlink Direct because you don't have to buy this hardware up front.
	If you work with the Satellite Phone Store, you just make a simple monthly payment Here's 200 a month, and you get this Gen 3 hardware, which is this commercial grade hardware, plus a 500 gigabytes per month plan, and you can go over that, it's just slower.
	And you just make monthly payments with a commitment of, I think it's 12 months for this.
	So they make it more affordable.
	You don't have to be out of pocket up front.
	And of course, the satellite phone store also has satellite phones and bivy sticks here, which is satellite text messaging, as well as these Faraday Bags, backpacks, and there's also solar generators, solar panels, and lots of things to help you be independent and off-grid.
	And the reason I like Starlink satellite bandwidth is because you can pack that thing up and you can take it anywhere.
	You go camping, let's say, and you can just set it up at the campsite.
	As long as it can see the sky, you've got serious bandwidth.
	Like for some of these, 200 megabits a second or more.
	Wow. And you can just take it with you anywhere except not on a ship.
	You can't.
	They don't cover the ocean with this plan, but anywhere on land is covered.
	Well, I mean, they don't serve like North Korea, you know, and Iran and other certain countries like it.
	But maybe you shouldn't be going to North Korea.
	You know, I'm saying if you're wandering around America or someplace like that, or Central America, South America, you can use this, OK?
	So, Starlink123.com will get you to that site.
	And then, of course, to support us, shop at HealthRangerStore.com, where we have all kinds of, you know, certified organic foods and supplements.
	Let me just bring that up.
	That's what actually brings in the funding for this program and for our new studio and everything else.
	So, there you go.
	We've got special deals going on right now, and we've got customer loyalty points, you know, superfoods, laboratory tests, certified organic, all of that.
	HealthRangerStore.com and we thank you for your support.
	And Mike, I want to give a little something away.
	That as a bonus episode, you know, we're doing a 10 episode series, but we're going to have an 11th one and that's going to be me personally interviewing you.
	Oh boy.
	You don't know the questions that are going to be coming, but I do want it to be practical, and so one of them is, I would love for you to be thinking about, maybe you could even pull together a package, I don't know, but I've heard you talk a lot about, before, about how people can, how we have all kinds of chemicals and things in our kitchens, in our bathrooms, or whatever, and how we might be able to do a makeover, right?
	There might be a product set of, hey, you want to basically revitalize Uh, your bathroom without all of these smelly poisoners, whatever, you know, and do it naturally.
	Anyway, uh, what are your thoughts on that?
	Well, we are, it's a, it's a great idea.
	You always have the best ideas, Todd.
	Um, I'm working with my team to see if we can put together a package like that.
	Sometimes it's hard to get to have everything in stock at the same time.
	The supply chain is still a challenge sometimes, but yeah, we have alternatives for body soap and toothpaste and deodorant and laundry detergent.
	I think we should at least talk about it.
	I want to talk about it because, you know, we don't ever talk about the specifics and we want this series to be practical.
	So let's talk.
	Yeah. That sounds fun.
	I'm excited about that part.
	Well, I would love to do that.
	Like here, I mean, here's our laundry detergent.
	Actually, it was just, where'd it go?
	Oops. Never mind, but we have we have like natural laundry detergent that there's no no fragrance chemicals in it things like that and You're a customer of our toothpaste, and it's your feedback.
	That's actually improving our next production schedule on the toothpaste and We're gonna be doing in our new studio.
	We're building a kitchen set and oh wow we're gonna do kitchen like how-to stuff and one of the first things that I'm doing actually I'm gonna do this one here and I've got a blender and a bunch of chalk for writing on chalkboards, and we're going to blend the chalk in the water to show you what you're buying when you buy oat milk at the grocery store, because one of the main ingredients is calcium carbonate to make it look white, and that's just chalk.
	Whoa. So people are drinking freaking chalk, and we're going to show that.
	And then we have laboratory tests on All the oat milks to find out how much lead is in the chalk.
	So we're going to do a lot of interesting things like that.
	In fact, I've got our microscope right over there now.
	We're setting up the microscope.
	We're doing lab tests and we're doing blenders and smoothies and whatever else we can come up with.
	Maybe perhaps including my dog, Rody, here.
	And everybody, he does that all in between.
	What, your next 10 Spotify songs?
	Working on some songs.
	I'm working on a song for this show.
	You've heard an early version of it.
	It's called Decentralize.
	Decentralize. I love it.
	Yeah. It's an EDM style, right?
	So a little bit of dubstep, heavy bass, big drops, EDM style song.
	I don't know.
	Do you like that song or is it too out of our demographic?
	I don't know.
	We'll have to, we'll keep working at them.
	Yeah, me too.
	Because it seems like the kind of music that 20 year olds would dance to at a rave party.
	You know what I mean?
	I was kind of thinking that, but yeah.
	I am the last one to judge you on your song creation.
	Well, no, I'm judging myself.
	I'm just, like, we can choose different styles, but it can't be country-western, you know?
	It can't be gospel.
	It can't be...
	I don't want to be heavy metal.
	It doesn't really fit.
	It's like, decentralizes more tech.
	So it seemed like a tech beat kind of made a lot of sense for it, you know?
	I think it does.
	I think so.
	Everybody, this is the sausage making you're witnessing and wait until you hear the final product.
	Oh, anyway.
	Yeah, we're still playing around with it.
	I'm reworking some of the lyrics, but so far it's a pretty good song.
	Hey, we're going to play your song at the end of this broadcast today.
	So make sure you send me a link.
	I'm going to WeTransfer it to You all and I'll get that to you as I'm re-transferring all of the bonus content that I've been recording.
	I have a ton of it.
	So, but yeah, I'll get it to you right away, but everybody will get, they'll be able to get a tour of my food forest via, I think a pretty, pretty hopeful song.
	Okay. I love the, I love your song.
	You did a great job on that song.
	I've had a lot of people send me songs that they created on Suno.
	Uh-huh.
	They're mostly not very good.
	Right. Just saying.
	Yeah. Because they had AI write all the lyrics, and I can tell.
	It's like, you just had AI write these lyrics, right?
	Right. Yeah.
	Well, it kind of sucks, you know?
	But you didn't do that.
	You meticulously crafted your lyrics, and it shows.
	It's really good.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Yes. And I also like the reggae style, too.
	Yeah, well, that's, you know, that had to happen.
	It fits.
	It fits the topic.
	It's perfect.
	Even your vocalist even has a little bit of that Jamaican accent going.
	He really does.
	Give us some feedback if you do, folks.
	All right.
	Very good.
	Well, we'll wrap it up there.
	We'll play that song for everybody.
