	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Okay, it's Monday morning and there is real panic in the air.
	Maybe bloody Monday morning is what people will call it.
	Now I'm recording this just after midnight, you know, early, early Monday morning.
	So the markets haven't opened yet, but from what I'm seeing right now at the time I'm recording this is it looks like it's going to be a bloodbath in terms of a stock market, And a lot of assets are, of course, cratering, including crypto and silver has taken a hit and gold has taken a hit, etc. Now, I want to assure you that this is not a time to panic.
	And what I'm hoping to do here today is to walk you through what I strongly believe is happening and to give you a sense of confidence in facing this so that you don't freak out.
	You can take advantage of opportunities as they emerge here.
	So, the first thing I want to say is, well, you know, hey, welcome to Bright Channel Broadcast News, Monday, April 7th, 2025.
	Mike Adams here, and of course last week Trump inflicted these tariffs on practically everybody in the world, and he was citing that these are reciprocal tariffs, saying that all these other countries had their own High tariffs on U.S. goods.
	And as it turns out, that was all a lie.
	I'm going to explain that here in a second because I became informed of this over the weekend, even as someone who was initially defending these tariffs.
	But it turns out I was lied to.
	We were all lied to.
	I'm going to explain that here in a second.
	Let me just add right up front that don't take any of this as investment advice.
	So I'm issuing a very strong disclaimer today.
	I am not your investment advisor, and there is risk in everything that you do, and there's also risk in doing nothing.
	So this is a time of risk.
	Risk abounds right now.
	And the winners, as I've often said, are going to be those who end up coming out of this with just most of their assets intact.
	We're not looking to make a profit.
	This isn't a time to speculate on the upside.
	This is a time to buckle up.
	And try not to lose money.
	And of course, if you listen to me for very long at all, and you've heard some of my discussion on these points, you're probably very well positioned right now.
	For example, I've said for a long time stock market is wildly overvalued.
	It's a giant Ponzi scheme.
	It's a scam.
	I've said that I don't own any stocks whatsoever, which is still true.
	So of course, I'm not freaking out over stock market collapse scenarios.
	Because I know it's going to collapse.
	I've talked about this for a long time.
	I'm in metals, gold and silver, and some privacy crypto, all of which are falling somewhat, but nowhere near what's probably going to happen to stocks.
	So if you've listened to anything I've said over these years, you're probably pretty well insulated overall.
	And stay tuned today because I'm going to tell you why I think the metals are going to bounce back and even skyrocket.
	So any short-term dip in silver or gold is, in my opinion, very short-term.
	And if anything, an opportunity to, especially silver, to get silver at a discount.
	Anytime silver is below $30 an ounce spot, in my opinion, it's like the buy of a lifetime.
	But I'll talk about that more as we move ahead here.
	And also, in terms of the interview today, On Saturday, I published a hard-hitting exclusive interview with Steve Quayle talking about this financial scenario.
	And since a lot of people missed that because it was a weekend episode, I'm going to play that interview here today after my analysis here.
	So if you've already heard that interview, then you're good.
	If you haven't heard it, then just know that Steve is very, very concerned that this is the big one.
	And he texted me over the weekend and he was talking about in Japan that there are, well, the Nikkei trading was halted, which is true, and that there are margin calls happening like crazy on a lot of banks, including Japanese banks.
	And if this is not reversed pretty quickly, it looks like we're going to be headed to some bank failures.
	Now, bank failures will cause metals to skyrocket, okay?
	In fact, let me start with metals here.
	No, let me back up and start with the tariff lie.
	How about that?
	Let's start there.
	So, as you may recall, last week, Trump had a big announcement on, what do you call it, Liberation Day or Freedom Day or whatever, April 2nd, and he rolled out this chart, and he said all these countries are charging these really high tariffs.
	He said China, for example, is charging 67% tariffs on average on U.S. goods.
	And he said the European Union, for example, is charging 39% tariffs, that Vietnam is charging 90% tariffs, Taiwan charging 64% tariffs, etc.
	Okay. And, you know, silly me, I believed him.
	I thought he was telling the truth, because I don't know what the tariffs are in these other countries, and I don't really export.
	I'm not in the export business.
	To all these other countries.
	So I don't really pay attention.
	I figure, maybe China does have a 67% tariff.
	Well, it turns out that's all completely false.
	And over the weekend, all the business owners in these other countries that do export to the United States, number one, they're all hopping mad.
	They're extremely angry because they're seeing their investments go belly up and their livelihoods are being destroyed by this.
	The number one thing that I heard over the weekend, and of course I was monitoring the press in Chinese in Taiwan and China and Hong Kong, etc.
	And they all said, wait a second.
	China doesn't have 67% tariffs.
	Taiwan doesn't have 64% tariffs.
	It's nonsense.
	The actual tariffs that China places on U.S. goods on average is somewhere under 5% on average.
	So you might be asking, well, where is Trump getting 67%?
	Which is a number that he assigned to China in order to say that the U.S. would inflict a discounted reciprocal tariff of half of 67%, or roughly half, of 34%.
	So where does he get the 34%?
	Or where does he even get the 67%?
	Well, it turns out that over the weekend, a bunch of sleuths in Asia figured it out.
	And it's got nothing to do with tariffs.
	In other words, what Trump was calling tariffs are not tariffs.
	He was just being really deceptive, actually.
	Turns out that Trump is calculating trade deficits or trade imbalances between the US and China.
	So, in other words, he was saying that since the trade deficit with China is about $295 billion a year.
	Then he divides that into the total U.S. imports from China, which is about $439 billion a year.
	That ratio is.67, which Trump says is a 67% tariff.
	Now, if your head is exploding right now, let me say this again, because yes, it makes no sense.
	That is, if you and I agree on what is the definition of a tariff, what's a tariff?
	Well, it's a surcharge on goods being brought into a country, a charge placed on the exporters from the other country by the local government.
	It's a surcharge, right?
	So if you're shipping a car from Japan, and if we have a 10% tariff on the car, then you, the Japanese automobile manufacturer, Let's say Toyota or whoever, then you got to pay 10% to the U.S. government before the U.S. government will release that car from U.S. customs at the port, right? So that's what a tariff is.
	And everybody knows what the word tariff means, except not Trump and not the Trump administration.
	They don't know what tariff means, so they made up their own definition, which is very Bill Clintonian, actually.
	Remember when he was arguing, like, what is the...
	Meaning of the word is.
	Remember that?
	In the 1990s and the Lewinsky affair and all that?
	And we were all laughing our heads off.
	Like, what do you mean you don't know what the word is is?
	Well, Trump doesn't know what the word tariff means.
	Or he decided to change the definition, like changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico.
	He decided that tariff now means trade imbalances.
	Like, what?
	So... So Trump says there's a 67% trade imbalance with China that he calls a tariff.
	And then in response to that, he's going to inflict a 34% tariff on China.
	But when Trump inflicts the 34% tariff, that's an actual tariff.
	The Chinese companies have to pay us that money.
	But the tariff that he claims China is inflicting upon us is not a tariff.
	That's just a trade imbalance, which mostly comes down to American consumers buying a lot of Chinese-made stuff at Walmart and Dollar Store and everywhere else.
	Amazon, everywhere you go, it's all made in China.
	Well, a lot of it.
	So Vietnam is not charging a 90% tariff, and Taiwan is not charging a 64% tariff, etc.
	It goes on.
	South Korea is not charging a 50% tariff, even though that's what Trump claimed.
	So, this is a big lie.
	I mean, this is a crazy deception.
	And, you know, for a couple of days it worked.
	I mean, it even fooled me because I wasn't familiar with what the tariff numbers were.
	And I never could have imagined that the Trump administration would redefine the word tariff selectively to mean whatever they wanted to mean.
	As they're referring to trade imbalances.
	I just, I didn't think.
	That level of deception was going to be part of this conversation.
	So, I got hoodwinked.
	I got hoodwinked by this.
	Well, you can't fool me forever, you know?
	So, as I'm looking at this, and as I explained here, we've figured this out.
	And again, thanks to some journalists in Asia, or some researchers who figured this out.
	So, this is why all the countries around the world that are named in the The tariffs.
	This is why they are panicking, because they're realizing that there's something punitively unfair about this, where Trump is charging them insanely high incoming tariffs while falsely claiming that those countries have their own massive tariffs, which isn't even true.
	So this fear is, I mean, I should say the...
	Trump misconstruing the word tariff is only adding to the global fear and anger.
	So these are the two emotions that are really prominent right now in the world marketplace is fear and anger.
	Panic and pissed off.
	And everybody's panicked and pissed off right now, especially business owners in all these countries that export to the United States.
	Because, of course, they've lined up all these contracts.
	They've ordered raw materials.
	They have workers to make things and they've scheduled cargo ships, etc.
	So there's this supply chain that is a giant machine and it's in motion and then Trump comes along in one day and just throws a wrench into the entire supply chain.
	So that's why there is what I'm going to call a panicked overreaction.
	There's a panicked overreaction.
	The panic is real.
	The fear is real.
	The anger is real.
	But in my opinion, it's an overreaction that this is not going to be the end of global manufacturing or global trade.
	And it's not even the end of globalization, by the way.
	But let me explain why.
	And in this short-term panic, there will be discounts available.
	Discounted assets to purchase because a lot of people will oversell out of a sense of panic.
	Now, there is truth to what Steve Quayle says, which is that there's also a lot of over-leveraging.
	So there is an unwinding of many leveraged debt instruments, collateralized loan obligations, right?
	Or people buying on margin, especially in the crypto space.
	There is a lot of unwinding of overly leveraged positions that's happening right now, but there's also a lot of overselling out of an emotional, panicked state that probably is not justified.
	So allow me to explain why I believe that.
	And again, don't take this as financial advice, but this is my interpretation.
	Number one, we're being told that over the weekend, 50 countries on this list...have made contact with the White House and are ready to deal, ready to negotiate what looks like in many cases a complete ending of all tariffs both directions.
	And it is my understanding that Taiwan is one of those countries.
	So Taiwan apparently, at least unless we're being lied to again, which is always possible, but what I'm seeing being reported about Taiwan is that Taiwan's willing to drop all tariffs or...
	Virtually all tariffs on U.S. goods coming into Taiwan in exchange for Trump ending this, what is it, a 32% punitive tariff on Taiwan.
	And other countries, I think Vietnam is also in the same boat.
	I suspect South Korea is going to be there any moment.
	So my sense is that over the next week, let's say just this week, these five days, my guess is by Friday, I'll bet you there's going to be 20 plus countries that have already agreed to drop all the tariffs.
	Now, not China.
	We'll talk about China separately.
	China's going to play hardball on this.
	And it's not exactly clear what the EU is going to do.
	But I would say that by Friday, we get at least 20 countries saying, yeah, we don't want a trade war.
	We'll drop all our tariffs.
	And that was the point of all of this.
	This was the whole reasoning behind the tariffs, was to use it as a bludgeon, as I said last week, for Trump to inflict pain on these trading partners to get them to stop punishing us with one-way tariffs.
	Now, granted, Trump lied to us about how high those tariffs were, but there were, or there still are, tariffs, that a lot of them are one-way tariffs that hurt America, right?
	So, this method of inflicting pain on other nations is a negotiation tactic.
	It's not a long-term policy.
	And that's the mistake that a lot of people are making right now.
	Many people are thinking this is a long-term policy and that Trump is going to destroy the world.
	And that we're going into a Great Depression because of this and all manufacturing is going to be shut down, or a lot of it.
	And that's why oil is plummeting?
	Because everybody's overreacting and thinking, well, we won't need transportation, you know, because there's nothing to transport.
	It's just panicked thinking, okay?
	And that's why silver is plummeting, because silver is used in all kinds of manufacturing.
	Consumer goods, electronics, telecommunications, etc.
	Wiring, cabling, blah, blah, blah.
	So silver is plummeting because everybody's thinking, well, nobody's going to need silver because nobody's going to be making anything because we're all going to die.
	Trump's tariffs is a death sentence on the whole planet, which is a crazy overreaction.
	But that's why silver is dropping.
	That's why copper is dropping.
	Same reason.
	That's why oil is dropping, like I said.
	It's also a little bit of why gold is dropping.
	And the reason I think crypto is falling is because people are selling crypto to cover their margin calls on their stock exposure.
	Because, yeah, stocks are falling, but it's not Trump's fault.
	Stocks have been overpriced for a long time.
	That's why I don't buy any stocks.
	It's been a giant Ponzi scheme since before 2008.
	Frankly, since the dot-com fiasco.
	The stock market has been a giant, fake Ponzi scheme, and I want nothing to do with it.
	I know it's a scam.
	So, the overreaction is going to lead to...
	An overpanicked sell-off of certain commodities, probably copper, probably silver, probably aluminum, gold, and oil as well.
	See, when everybody's thinking that the whole world is going into a depression and there's not going to be any exporting of goods anymore because the tariffs are the end of the world, then everybody's thinking, well, no one needs commodities anymore.
	And that's why the commodities are getting clobbered.
	Do you realize that, at least in my assessment, this is the buy of a lifetime on silver?
	I didn't think silver was ever going to go below $30 again.
	And it just did last night.
	For a while.
	I don't know where it is at the moment you're listening to this, but folks, check silver prices.
	If silver is below $30 spot, this is like winning the lottery.
	To buy silver below $30 spot right now?
	I mean...
	Seriously. Again, don't take this as financial advice, but I'm going to be buying silver.
	If I wake up and it's below 30, I'm buying.
	Because I know where silver's going.
	And so let's talk about that scenario next.
	Right now, short-term panic.
	Massive overreaction.
	Massive fear.
	And probably a lot of highly leveraged stuff is unraveling.
	Well, imagine...
	A week later, or two weeks later, maybe there's 40 countries that have agreed to lower tariffs to zero, which is very reasonable.
	That's probably where this is headed.
	So what does that mean?
	Well, zero tariffs both ways is outstanding for world trade.
	It's going to increase trade.
	It's going to increase the demand on commodities for manufacturing.
	It's going to increase the demand for oil.
	Transportation of manufactured goods.
	It's going to increase demand for copper, you know, and silver and everything, nickel, tungsten, you name it.
	So there's going to be, I believe we can see a whiplash scenario here where these prices, as soon as people realize that the panic was an overreaction and that most of these countries Are going to sit down and deal with Trump and reach a deal very quickly?
	When that sets in, then all those people who've been selling all these commodities are going to turn around and buy all the commodities again.
	And say, oh my God, we shouldn't have sold.
	Industry is actually going to benefit from this.
	There's going to be more goods manufactured more efficiently.
	And those goods are going to be more affordable to Americans.
	And American businesses are going to be able to export more competitively.
	And so actually, world trade is going to increase, not decrease, if this Trump gambit works.
	Even though, again, it's based on a dishonest definition of what is a tariff, it is nevertheless bringing these other countries to the negotiation table, and they are agreeing to Trump's terms.
	And so...
	When tariffs go to zero, what happens to trade?
	It goes up, not down.
	And goods become more affordable, not less affordable.
	And as goods become more affordable, more people buy them.
	So if we have 0% tariffs back and forth with Korea and Vietnam and Taiwan and maybe eventually China, but certainly Japan and other countries, what's that going to do?
	It's going to make consumer goods in the United States.
	Go down in price.
	That means inflation will fall.
	Or you could say the rate of inflation will slow, technically.
	I wouldn't say inflation would fall.
	The rate of prices increasing would slow.
	But because of all the money printing, inflation is still going to happen one way or another.
	Nevertheless, this would be a great benefit to the world of...
	Manufacturing and consumption, etc.
	Right? So, this realization won't take long to hit people.
	Maybe in just one week.
	So, there might be, this is just my guess, but this week right now might be the only week, it might be the panic week, where, as they say on Wall Street, there's blood in the streets, you know, everybody's panicked and selling everything.
	Well, they're going to come to their senses probably on Friday, if not sooner.
	And when they're panic selling, it's bargain time.
	When stockbrokers are leaping from tall buildings, usually there's a lot of bargains to be found.
	And some of those bargains might be silver or gold, etc.
	So that's my take on this.
	And by the way, you know, Apple is going to get hurt badly because of their dependence on components from China.
	But Apple is an evil tech company, an evil corporation run by people who, in my opinion, are Satanists.
	So I don't shed a tear of Apple losing billions of dollars or if an iPhone costs $2,000 or if they can't get the parts from China.
	You know, boo freaking who?
	Who cares?
	Stop buying Apple products anyway.
	You know, you're just giving money to Satanists.
	So, you know, if Apple...
	That's awesome.
	In my book, might as well.
	Now, there is a scenario that's a possibility where Trump and his financial people may have underestimated the fragility of the Western economic system.
	And they may have thought that the Western economic system could easily handle this short-term tariff hit and that it could bounce back.
	And possibly, that is an incorrect assessment.
	Possibly, the Western financial system is so highly leveraged that this, this tariff panic week, is going to break it.
	Now, I mentioned this as one of the scenarios.
	It's not a scenario that I hope will happen.
	I can't even give this even a 50% chance of happening.
	But it is a possibility.
	And what it means is that we would start to see bank failures or rumors of bank failures, like bank runs and bank panic.
	And remember that when banks are failing, they always announce it on Friday.
	So even if banks are in trouble this week, even though you might hear rumors, you probably won't hear any kind of official announcement, FDIC stepping in and taking over a bank until Friday after 5 p.m. Eastern.
	And then the weekend kicks in, you know, next weekend.
	And then during that time, the FDIC people go in and they can figure out how to save most people's money, at least if you're under the insured amount, etc.
	So what I want to say to all of you right now is, this week, if you have any bank accounts where you are over the insured amount, which...
	Typically is $250,000, but it can also hit you if you have two different entities with accounts in the same bank.
	Depending on the rules, and I don't remember all the rules, but depending on the rules, you may not have coverage for both of those accounts at $250,000 each.
	You may have only $250,000 in the aggregate if you are the principal owner of the other.
	So I'm just saying, check the rules.
	Don't take my word for it.
	Do your homework on this.
	And if you need to, use this week to go open another bank account at another bank and diversify your holdings so that you are under $250K, if you're blessed enough to have that much liquid cash in a bank account.
	Make sure you don't exceed that.
	Spread it around to the other banks or wire it out into some other asset.
	Maybe gold, maybe silver.
	I don't know.
	Maybe you're buying a piece of land this week.
	But just make sure that before Friday you limit your exposure to make sure that you're covered by the FDIC if there is a failure.
	Because I suspect that bank failures may occur although Make
	sure you're covered.
	Use this week.
	You probably still have time to do this.
	To diversify and limit your exposure.
	Secondly, if you do want to possess more metals, and remember there are multiple options.
	There's vaulting options, which is probably the best way to own silver because silver can be very bulky in large amounts.
	And also, if you don't have a secure scenario, or you're about to move, or you live in an apartment, or whatever, or you think thieves can break into your house and steal your metals, then maybe you don't want to hold them.
	But here's, now listen up, this is very, very important.
	In my opinion, do not ever hold metals in banks.
	Because those metals, which people typically put in a safe deposit box, those metals can be confiscated during bank bail-ins.
	So if this gets bad, maybe far worse than anything I'm imagining or far worse than anything that Trump is imagining, then banks can, well, we could see the great taking initiated.
	Let's put it that way.
	And then the banks can declare bank bail-ins.
	And by the way, some corporations, manufacturing companies, are already declaring force majeure because of the supply chain disruptions.
	I'm not aware of any banks declaring that.
	At this point, and I don't expect to see that.
	But if a bank declares a bail-in, then whatever you have in the safe deposit box now becomes bank property.
	And remember that the banks are regulated by the government, so when you put metals in a safe deposit box, you're putting them under the jurisdiction of the federal government and the banking sector, and basically handing them over to the bank.
	And there are also stories about how the FBI would just confiscate all the safe deposit boxes of a particular bank because there was one criminal that used that bank.
	And so the FBI just takes everything from everybody and then just lawlessly and then decides that they don't want to give it back.
	Like, that actually happened.
	That's been a big story the last couple years.
	So, rule number one.
	Never, never, never put your metals in a bank.
	Okay? And probably a corollary of that would be never put assets in a bank, you know, in my opinion.
	But, you know, you got to have some amount of cash and you got to meet payroll, you got to pay your electric bill, etc.
	So I get it.
	But never put metals in a bank.
	Metals should only be vaulted with a private company, an insured, high-end, professional, experienced vaulting operator, or In your own hands, that is self-custody.
	Or within reach and safely put somewhere, not in a silly little safe in your house.
	Those are jokes, okay?
	A thief can drill through that in 45 seconds and open your safe.
	They're not even really considered safes.
	They're really called residential security containers because the quote safe that you bought at Costco or whatever, it's a joke.
	The only thing to put in a safe is fake decoy gold and fake decoy Hollywood currency, which you can buy on Amazon.
	I've talked about this before.
	You can buy $10,000 of Hollywood money that looks like $100 bills.
	I have a stack in my studio.
	I show it on camera sometimes.
	But if you look at it closely, it clearly says this is a prop.
	But to a thief in a hurry in the dark, they're going to think, oh, pay dirt.
	I got all your cash.
	And they're going to stuff that in a duffel bag.
	Typically, that's what we see in movies.
	And then they're going to exit and they're going to think they got your loot.
	So the only thing to put in a safe is decoys.
	The real goods, you got to hide them somewhere else, somewhere unexpected.
	And I don't have time to go into all that here.
	But I have talked about this before, so if you've been a listener for a while, you've heard some of this.
	And by the way, our gold and silver sponsor, Treasure Island Company, they have their own vault, their own vaulting facility with high security, surveillance, Lloyd's of London insurance.
	They are insured, they are bonded.
	These people are highly professional.
	I've been working with them for years.
	And they can also ship it to you if you want.
	So reach out to them.
	MetalsWithMike.com is the website.
	MetalsWithMike.com.
	They are our sponsor.
	I've interviewed the founder several times.
	And they are a multi-generational, long-time, high moral standing, outstanding customer service, high trust factor company that can get you gold and silver into your hands or they can vault it for you.
	And when they vault it, here's the other thing I want to mention.
	If you do vaulting, there are typically two options.
	There's what's called allocated metals, and there's unallocated or pooled metals.
	So allocated metals means that there is a physical amount of metal in the vault that is specifically allocated to you.
	Okay? So...
	If a bunch of customers buy like a million ounces of gold and it's all allocated gold, then that company has to be storing a million ounces of physical gold because it's got to be 100% backed to what the customers own.
	That's called allocated.
	Now, pooled or unallocated means essentially the company has...
	An IOU.
	Like, I owe you this amount of gold.
	And then behind the scenes, they maintain maybe contracts on gold equal to the amount that they owe their own customers.
	So they might have contracts on COMEX.
	So basically, it's paper gold.
	Or in some cases, a combination of physical and paper.
	But a lot of it's paper.
	Or unallocated silver could be paper silver.
	Now... I'm not an attorney, so don't take this as legal advice.
	Do your own research.
	But my understanding is that when you store gold and silver in an allocated fashion, it's much easier for you to get your gold and silver in a time of crisis because you have a specific claim to those exact ounces.
	In addition, the vaulting prices will be much higher.
	For allocated gold and silver because they're storing your physical gold and silver in a physical place, which has to have security and air conditioning and surveillance and insurance and all these other things, right?
	So it's expensive, especially silver.
	Storing your own allocated silver is very expensive percentage-wise because silver takes up a lot of space.
	And if you're buying silver from a company that...
	That vaults it, you know, they'll have forklifts, and they'll actually have labels on your silver, typically, or it'll be serialized with barcode labels and assigned to you.
	Whereas, if you're buying pooled gold and silver, and something goes wrong, you know, force majeure or something, or COMEX breaks, or there's a gold delivery default out of the Bank of England, or whatever happens, It's going to be much more difficult to get your gold or your silver because you don't have a specific claim to a specific mass of it.
	You have a paper claim.
	It's kind of like your checking account.
	Your checking account is a paper claim to a certain number of dollars in the bank.
	But the bank doesn't have your dollars.
	The bank just owes you that many dollars.
	Fractional Reserve Banking.
	Well, a lot of pooled gold and silver is fractional reserve gold and silver.
	So, if you have a choice, and again, do your own research, don't take this as financial advice, but if you have a choice, I do urge you to research this issue very carefully, read the fine print, because right now you can swap this out.
	So, let's say you own a bunch of gold and you have it pooled right now.
	You're like, wait a second.
	I want allocated gold.
	I want a certain number of ounces that I know are mine.
	This is the week to do that.
	So do all the housekeeping that's necessary.
	Make sure your gold and silver are either in your own hands or they are vaulted by a non-bank and that your specific ounces are allocated to you.
	In other words, if push comes to shove, The people that run the vault should be able to go take a picture of your gold.
	I'm not saying that they would do that routinely.
	That's not a normal part of their service, but they should be able to, because your stack should be there.
	If it's not, well, that's fraud.
	That's criminal.
	But anybody that's been in this business a long time is not running a criminal operation because that would have ended years ago.
	They are vaulting your gold and silver.
	And that's, again, the Treasure Island Company, metalswithmike.com, if you want their services or if you want their physical gold and silver to be delivered to you either way.
	And if you're wondering what other investment decisions might be worthwhile, ask yourself this question.
	What's going to become more valuable when, Think about that.
	And... If you're in the United States, the answer is, of course, anything that the U.S. exports that typically faces tariffs by other countries.
	So, for example, a lot of agricultural products.
	So the United States grows lots of corn and wheat and soybeans and a few other things from time to time.
	And a lot of these agricultural exports face tariffs in other countries because those countries are trying to protect their own domestic farmers.
	So when those tariffs go to zero both ways, then U.S. farming exports will become more affordable in the recipient countries, which means that those countries will tend to buy more agricultural products.
	So owning land that is farmable or even potentially being an investor in a farming operation that right now seems insane because farming normally never makes any money at all.
	Farming is a fast way to lose a fortune, right?
	But if tariffs go to zero, that may change, at least for a couple of years.
	So that's something to consider.
	Or what about U.S. manufacturing?
	What kinds of items does the United States manufacture that are of value to other countries?
	It's interesting because we're in that business, healthrangerstore.com.
	We manufacture foods and superfoods.
	And it's funny because it was just last week that we finally sorted out a new international shipping solution that covers all the VAT and all the customs fees and everything for Canada and Australia and New Zealand.
	Finally, we've made international shipping very affordable.
	Seems like the timing is great because maybe within a couple of weeks we're going to have zero tariffs with a lot of these countries and so we'll be able to export our products more.
	To Canada, or maybe the EU, or Australia, or wherever, or South American countries.
	But think about other things, like what's made in America that typically faces a lot of tariffs in other countries, that maybe that's going to go to zero.
	Possibly medical devices, right?
	There's a lot of high-end medical devices, a lot of high-end engineering type of projects.
	Those aircraft engines and buses and trains and things like that that are made in America, all of that trade will increase.
	And that's going to result in those companies expanding their operations and maybe hiring more people, hopefully humans.
	I say that because the robots are coming on fast.
	But it would be great if we could employ some humans, at least for a little while, you know?
	And actually...
	Actually let some people earn some decent income for a while.
	But it's not the end of the world.
	Even if banks start to fail, not all of them are going to fail.
	And one more thought in all this.
	If banks do start to fail, what's going to happen to gold and silver?
	Kaboom! Silver will shoot up.
	Remember the Silicon Valley Bank failure?
	What was that, like the spring of 23, was that, or something?
	Remember what happened to silver premiums?
	Silver premiums went up to $12 an ounce, even higher in some cases.
	Right now, those premiums, and the premium means the amount you pay over spot for a silver one-ounce coin, typically.
	Right now, those premiums are, I think, under $4.
	I don't know for sure.
	I haven't bought for a while, so I haven't checked, but...
	They're not very high.
	They're going to skyrocket if banks start to fail.
	And you're going to see not only spot price of silver go up, you're going to see silver premiums go up.
	You could see silver at $50 an ounce in your hand if banks start to fail.
	That would not be out of the realm of possibilities.
	I'm not predicting that price, just to be clear.
	I'm just saying that that is a conceivable outcome if we start to see multiple bank failures, which is a possibility.
	And the thing that's feeding into this is the interdependence among the international banks.
	So a lot of U.S.
	banks have exposure to Japanese banks.
	Japanese banks are looking pretty weak right now, and some of those banks have exposure to China's banks.
	China's banks are in trouble because China depends largely on its export income.
	the trade imbalance with the United States in order to fund its domestic economy.
	And so let's talk about China and the U.S. because this is where it's going to get interesting.
	This is that giant international game of chicken that Trump and Xi are playing.
	And it's not clear to me who's going to lose that game.
	But it's going to be a battle of wills.
	That's for sure.
	In the meantime, China's financial sector is going to crater.
	And I think that the best way to picture this is that Trump and Xi are standing close to each other and they're both strangling each other's necks.
	And both of their faces are turning red.
	And neither one of them has any oxygen.
	And they're trying to determine who can hold their breath the longest before their head pops off or they go unconscious.
	This is the game that's being played right now.
	And it's going to hurt.
	Trade with China is going to hurt.
	There's no question about it.
	And this could go on for some extended period of time.
	I am not predicting that the China question is going to be resolved in one week or two weeks or even three weeks.
	This could go on through even the summer, potentially.
	But it's a giant game of chicken, and the economic implications...
	...with China are going to be significant.
	That's going to hurt a lot of U.S. importers.
	It's going to hurt a lot of U.S. retailers.
	And that's where the pain is going to be inflicted domestically.
	But China's going to be feeling a lot of pain at the same time.
	That's why I say this is a mutual strangulation game to see who can hold the other person's neck the longest before passing out.
	That's what this is.
	Because domestically...
	The U.S. businesses and U.S. banks are going to be pressuring Trump to give in, give in.
	We can't handle this.
	The losses are too much.
	And then same thing is going to happen in China.
	Those business leaders are going to tell Xi, you got to give in.
	You got to deal with Trump.
	And that pressure is eventually going to become really, really significant.
	So in my view, the big pain question really centers around what happens with China.
	And I don't have a good read.
	China has a lot of weapons, economic weapons, to deploy, such as selling off U.S. treasuries or inflicting more bans on critical rare earth minerals exports, for example.
	There are other weapons.
	China could ban pharmaceutical exports or China could attack Taiwan and just have a...
	Full-on land invasion of Taiwan just to keep the Trump administration distracted.
	Here, deal with this.
	That kind of thing.
	Also, of course, Trump is currently poised to attack Iran, and that's going to bring in this other complexity about Middle Eastern geopolitics and the role of Russia and China in that potential conflict as well.
	So these are all distractions that can really cause Trump...
	To perhaps miscalculate in negotiations with China.
	So here's a good example of that.
	I'm reading from CNBC Financial News.
	Trump is losing the confidence of business leaders, billionaire investor Bill Ackman says.
	Says that America was headed towards a self-inflicted economic nuclear winter as a result of Donald Trump's tariff policy rollout.
	This is, again, the fear-based overreaction.
	For Bill Ackman to call it an economic nuclear winter, that sounds like a Mad Max fallout scenario.
	That strikes me as an overreaction.
	Ackman says, quote, business is a confidence game.
	The president is losing the confidence of business leaders around the globe.
	Well, I disagree with that.
	It shouldn't be just a confidence game.
	Obviously, reduction of volatility is important, and I would say predictability is important.
	But business shouldn't be a confidence game, which is really called a con game, because con stands for confidence.
	Business should be about solving people's problems by producing products and services and ideas that improve people's lives.
	And that...
	Doesn't require just confidence.
	It requires raw materials, it requires effort, it requires work, it requires innovation, etc.
	And all those things are still here.
	This article says that Howard Lutnick, who's the Commerce Secretary, finally got his title there, told CBS News that the Trump administration will remain steadfast in its reciprocal tariffs.
	Against key trading partners, even in the face of a global stock rout.
	So what does that tell you?
	That Trump and his people, Besant and Lutnik, they are not concerned about a stock market wipeout.
	That's not their main concern.
	In fact, Trump is also quoted on CNBC saying that he doesn't want stocks to go down, but quote, sometimes you have to take medicine.
	Is this like the Operation Warp Speed version of finance here?
	Is this like mRNA jabs for your bank account?
	He says sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.
	Basically what he's saying, of course, is that there's going to be short-term pain in order to have a long-term solution.
	And he's not wrong about that.
	I've already described it here.
	And I think that a lot of these so-called tariffs could be resolved within...
	Literally within a week.
	Others, maybe two weeks.
	Others, maybe a little bit longer.
	But people are going to panic.
	People are going to overreact.
	We're living in a time of really high emotional projection.
	I've noticed a lot of people are overly emotional.
	Everybody's on edge all the time.
	And it's hard to step back and be more methodical and rational in this.
	But that's what I've tried to lay out for you here today.
	In my view, if I'm holding gold and silver, I'm not selling any of them.
	I might be picking up more silver in particular because it's been hammered way too much.
	Secondly, I'm not selling any crypto.
	So what?
	We know that's going to happen.
	It's crypto.
	You don't buy crypto unless you're willing to lose it all because it's highly volatile.
	I'm just going to hold on to crypto, ride it through.
	Money in the bank, I already talked about that earlier.
	Make sure you don't have too much exposure.
	Stocks, I can't answer that for you, obviously.
	I'm not your investment advisor, and I don't own any stocks.
	If I did own stocks, I would have sold them long before now, which technically is exactly what I did do.
	I wouldn't be holding stocks.
	If you are holding stocks right now, what should you do?
	I have no idea.
	In my view, I would be holding gold.
	I don't try to time...
	I can't time the stock market.
	I think it's foolish to try to do so.
	It's foolish to think that you can time, like, I'm going to buy it at the dip, and I'm going to sell it at the peak.
	Eh, not really.
	Most people...
	Sell it at the dip and buy it at the peak.
	That's just the way most people are.
	If you're not a professional investor, you can't beat those who are professional investors.
	So you can't time it.
	And if you're holding it, you know, make your own call.
	But ultimately, I would try to find a way to get out of stocks, is my opinion.
	Wildly overvalued.
	All right, what about treasuries?
	Well, I wouldn't be holding treasuries because the dollar is going to lose value.
	There's a scenario here where if things get bad enough and we start to have a lot of bank failures, then we can have pension fund failures, and we can have big government bailouts of banks.
	In fact, today I'm going to play my song for you again.
	I want my bailout money, but I'm going to play the newer AI version of that song, although remember I did the original song back in 2008, but it's coming around again.
	That song is evergreen.
	It's like...
	It applies every couple years because people always want their bailout money.
	So we'll play that song for you today before we jump into the interview.
	But if we get a lot of bailout money printing, then obviously that's going to destroy more of the remaining value, the purchasing power of the dollar, and that's going to be very, very bad for anybody holding dollars.
	So my goal, again, I can't say it's your goal, not your advisor.
	My goal...
	...is to have the least amount of cash and dollars possible and the most amount of gold and silver with some crypto but other hard assets.
	Land, ownership in a business that produces something, maybe ownership in commodities, minerals, oil.
	I hear a lot of people are probably buying into shares of oil wells, which...
	Even though oil is plummeting right now, my assessment is that long-term, oil is going to always have value.
	And oil is going to rise again.
	I think the short-term fall in oil is very, very short-term, is my point.
	I'm shocked to see oil below $70 a barrel.
	It's not going to stay there for long, especially if things heat up with Iran.
	We could see oil at $120 in 30 days.
	Again, not a prediction, but just something to consider.
	Now, here's what I want to do before we go to the interview with Steve Quayle.
	I want to play for you the BrightLearn.ai summary of my recent interview with Gerald Salenti.

	But let's play this BrightLearn.ai interview summary with Gerald Salenti.
	Here we go.
	I'm your host, BrightLearn.
	And today we're diving into a conversation so explosive, so urgent, that it might just change how you see everything happening in America right now.
	Now if you've been paying attention, you know the economy is on shaky ground.
	Gold and silver are spiking, commercial real estate is imploding, and the dollar's dominance.
	It's hanging by a thread.
	But here's the kicker.
	None of this is accidental.
	It's by design.
	And the man who's been warning us for years about this exact moment, Gerald Salente.
	Celente sat down with Mike Adams of Brighteon.com for a no-holds-barred interview.
	And folks, the details are chilling.
	So let's break it down.
	Because what's coming could hit harder than most people realize.
	First, Celente doesn't hold back on the state of global leadership.
	He calls it like it is.
	A freak show.
	From Biden's cognitive decline.
	Which Salente's journal predicted before the election.
	To Macron in France, Starmer in the UK, and Schultz in Germany.
	These leaders aren't just incompetent, they're dangerous.
	And the media, complicit.
	Salente points out the absurdity.
	CNN suddenly acting shocked about Biden's health.
	Really? The guy's been falling on camera for years.
	But here's the scary part.
	This isn't just about one man.
	It's about a system that props up these clowns while the world burns.
	Now let's talk money.
	Gold is soaring.
	Over $2,400 an ounce as we speak.
	But here's what's really driving it.
	The death of the dollar.
	Salente lays it out.
	Governments pump trillions into the economy during COVID.
	Debt is at $100 trillion globally.
	And wars...
	Ukraine, Israel, etc.
	are draining resources.
	The Fed's only propping up the dollar with high interest rates.
	But once they cut rates, which they will, the dollar plummets.
	And guess what?
	The BRICS nations are already moving away from the dollar.
	This isn't just inflation.
	It's currency collapse.
	And gold.
	It's the ultimate safe haven.
	Celente's prediction.
	This is just the beginning.
	Okay, here's where things get really scary.
	The office market is dead.
	Salente called this back in May 2020.
	Lockdowns forced people to work from home, and now, nobody's going back.
	San Francisco's office vacancy rate, 34.5%.
	Nationwide, around 20%.
	And here's the problem.
	Four trillion dollars in commercial real estate loans are coming due in the next two years.
	Banks lent on these properties when interest rates were low.
	Now, owners can't pay, and buildings are empty.
	What happens when these loans default?
	Banks go bust, and not just a few.
	Hundreds. Remember Silicon Valley Bank?
	That was three banks.
	Celente warns.
	This is 2008 on steroids.
	Now here's the darkest part.
	When economies collapse, governments always turn to war.
	Salente pulls no punches Pearl Harbor.
	FDR seized Japanese assets months before the attack.
	September 11th?
	The dot-com bust had just wiped out the NASDAQ.
	COVID. Mass protests worldwide, France, India, etc.
	suddenly stopped when lockdowns hit.
	The pattern is clear.
	Economic crisis.
	False flag.
	War. And right now, the US is pouring billions into Ukraine and Israel while ignoring the coming banking crash.
	Celente's warning.
	They will unite the people with a new crisis.
	Maybe before the election.
	Maybe after.
	But it's coming.
	So how do you survive this?
	Celente's advice.
	First, Get into gold and silver.
	The dollar's days are numbered.
	Second, watch the banks.
	If you're in a shaky institution, move your money.
	Third, prepare for unrest.
	Crime, inflation, and social chaos will escalate.
	And fourth, seek truth.
	Celente's Trends Journal, trendsjournal.com, is one of the few places giving real analysis.
	No ads, no spin.
	Salente isn't just sounding the alarm.
	He's acting.
	He has already hosted a peace and freedom rally in Kingston, New York, with speakers like Scott Ritter and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
	His message?
	We have to stop the war machine before it destroys us all.
	Folks, this isn't doom-mongering.
	It's reality.
	The economy, the wars, the leadership.
	It's all connected.
	And if we don't wake up now...
	The collapse will be worse than anyone imagines.
	So, what's your move?
	Will you be blindsided, or will you prepare?
	That's all for today, bright minds.
	If this episode hit home, share it.
	Everywhere. Because the truth, it's the only thing that can save us.
	Until next time, stay sharp, stay curious, and stay free.
	This is BrightLearn, signing off.
	This has been a BrightLearn.ai summary of an interview between Gerald Salente and Mike Adams on July 18th, 2024.
	interview is available at brighteon.com, where you can also find podcasts and and special reports by Mike Adams and other creators.
	naturalnews.com for full editorial coverage of this interview and breaking news on critical stories that will keep you informed and aware of what's really going on.
	there's...
	Two other things I want to play for you here before we get to the interview.
	One is a special report that I posted over the weekend which offers...
	Well, it's interesting.
	You might call it a more pessimistic outlook.
	It's called...
	The title is We Can See Now How Western Civilization Rapidly Collapses.
	But understand that my overall outlook is actually positive.
	that we actually need to see the collapse of the dollar and the collapse of centralized government tyranny and authoritarianism in order to get to a new structure of society that is more honest, more decentralized, and more free.
	And this is why I haven't been all that concerned about, oh, you know, RFK Jr.
	is not getting much done at HHS.
	I don't really have any expectation that they'll get anything done.
	The whole system will collapse.
	That's why I'm not surprised by any problems with banks or bank failures or currency failures or market failures.
	I'm not surprised.
	It's actually like, well, this is a necessary step, actually, in order to get to what comes after.
	And we don't need to live in a world where we have a central federal government at all.
	We don't need an HHS.
	We don't need an FDA.
	We don't need, you know, I mean, we don't need Federal government.
	At all.
	We don't need currency to be printed by our own government and weaponized against us.
	We absolutely do not need that.
	We don't need government to be in the business of printing currency at all.
	Government shouldn't be issuing money.
	We can issue our own money.
	Privacy crypto, for example.
	And there are many other examples like that.
	We don't need state medical boards.
	All they do is make sure that more people get killed in every pandemic.
	What we need is decentralization.
	And in order to get to decentralization, the current system has to implode.
	Which, it's on that path.
	Look, we're living under a suicidal system.
	Okay? The system is going to destroy itself.
	We're watching it.
	Just, you know, look at a lot of what Trump is doing or what the Democrats did before him.
	Just different forms of destruction.
	Democrats destroyed the rule of law.
	They destroyed elections.
	They destroyed the judiciary.
	And Trump comes along.
	He's now destroying the First Amendment in order to protect the Zionists.
	He's like, I'm going to just obliterate the First Amendment.
	You can't speak unless we say we like it.
	And Trump will destroy the Fourth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment and support wars.
	Look, there's no person you can elect that's going to fix this system.
	This system is toast.
	The faster this system becomes obsolete and then gets replaced by a better system, the better off we all are.
	So don't fret about banks failing.
	It's necessary for banks to fail.
	Don't fret about the dollar collapsing.
	It's necessary for the dollar to collapse in order to actually have a brighter future.
	Really. And what's going to make it through all this?
	gold and silver and crypto and hard assets, the things we always talk about.
	So this is why people say, "Well, how can you be but despondent and depressed?
	How can you last Well, because I don't have any expectation that this current system is survivable, I mean, by itself.
	We can survive it.
	We can navigate it.
	But I don't have any expectation that this system is going to last.
	I've been predicting this for years.
	How many years have I been saying that 2025 is the end of the United States of America as we know it?
	I've had that prediction on this podcast for four years plus, and then before that in special reports for at least another three, maybe four years.
	I've been making that prediction for seven or eight years.
	And here we are.
	So I don't...
	I mean, this is just right on time as far as I'm concerned.
	Seeing the whole system self-immolate.
	Set itself on fire?
	Burn itself to the ground?
	I'm like, well, what else could possibly happen?
	Of course it was going to do this.
	Just look at the national debt.
	Just look at the loss of morality.
	Just look at the insanity with all the transgenderism and the child mutilations.
	Look at the stupid state legislatures.
	And the kind of laws that they pass that are just absolutely retarded.
	Look at the cognitive collapse across this country.
	Look at the collapse of the rule of law.
	Look at the collapse of the work ethic.
	Look at the collapse of education, for God's sake.
	Of course this country is going to implode.
	Trump's just the guy running around.
	He's the last arsonist.
	He says, I'm going to set this on fire and that on fire and set those on fire.
	Watch it burn.
	It's going to be the biggest, best bonfire ever.
	And I'm like, yeah.
	I mean, Of course it is.
	He's going to burn it to the ground one way or another, and that's how this fourth turning actually happens, folks.
	You weren't gullible enough to think that we're going to reform this system, were you?
	We're going to make little changes and everything's going to be great?
	Come on.
	Look at how corrupt the Supreme Court is.
	Look at Roberts.
	Come on.
	And some of the Democrats in the Supreme Court, they're...
	Their IQs are below 80. I mean, some really stupid people on the bench.
	I mean, it's a clown show.
	It's a clown show.
	You got transgenders in the military with medals on their chest, like Air Force captains or whatever.
	It's ma'am!
	Come on.
	What a clown show.
	What a joke.
	This isn't sustainable.
	This isn't reformable.
	This is only collapsible.
	It's collapsible.
	Like a...
	Like a sofa that folds out into a guest bed and then you can collapse it back into the sofa?
	That's what our economy is.
	It's engineered to be collapsible.
	They knew this was going to fail.
	That's why they call it the great taking.
	They're going to crush the system, burn it to the ground.
	They're going to arson the whole thing and take everybody's assets.
	And who's going to have all those assets?
	All the billionaires that are hanging out with Trump.
	I mean, come on.
	Art of the deal.
	Come on.
	Art of the deal.
	You didn't think that he was here to save America, did you?
	Come on.
	Reality check, folks.
	All right, so let's go to that special report.
	Here it is.
	We can now see how Western civilization rapidly collapses.
	And then we'll have more on the other side.
	Here we go.
	So it's not difficult to see now how Western civilization literally collapses.
	You know, before recently, it was just a thought experiment.
	Maybe the banking system would be fragile.
	Maybe there would be a war.
	Maybe there would be a decline of morality.
	All these arguments, they were what-ifs.
	Now, it's like every day.
	You're looking at it.
	You're seeing the decline of cognition.
	You're watching the mass dumping down to the masses.
	You're watching them spray aluminum and lead and mercury out of the skies.
	You're watching the release of biological weapons and the mass extermination agenda through the vaccines.
	You're watching the shutdown of the farms.
	You're watching the contamination of the food supply.
	You're watching the collapse of seed diversity.
	And it's still holding together with duct tape and bailing wire at the moment.
	When it really craters, it's going to crater.
	Big. But you're already seeing things now.
	You're seeing, for example, risk of World War III in the Middle East.
	You're seeing Israel bombing Syria, no less, and Lebanon and Gaza.
	You're seeing a lot of the crosstalk where Russia is warning the U.S., don't attack Iran.
	And Iran saying, we have a super secret weapon.
	And China saying, well, if you bomb, Iran, well, we might just invade Taiwan, which is where we get all the semiconductors, and then you're seeing Trump put on these tariffs, massive tariffs on Chinese goods.
	You're seeing millions of people lose their jobs in America.
	You're seeing hundreds of big corporations going bankrupt or laying off masses of people.
	Along with massive cuts out of government itself, which is necessary via Doge, but those people are nonetheless jobless, and many will become homeless.
	And you're seeing gold and silver continue to move upward, especially gold, and you're seeing a rising incivility across...
	American society.
	So these are all signs of the coming collapse of civilization.
	And there's a pattern of this collapse.
	There's different ways to look at the patterns, like the fourth turning, for example.
	You know, everything goes in cycles.
	But there's a pattern where you see the moral collapse of a society, which the United States experienced over the last, you know, 50 years with abortion and...
	You know, unethical behavior, I don't know, like sexualizing the youth, all kinds of violations of morality.
	And then you see economic problems and you see corruption in government.
	You see this widening gap between the rich and the poor because the rich are those who are connected to government.
	They get all the handouts, U.S. aid money, you know, insider trading in the U.S. Congress, etc.
	What was the middle class becomes increasingly poor because you can't afford anything as insurance rates go up and food costs go up, etc.
	And so, you know, you have an economic implosion.
	And then, as Gerald Salenti says, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	You see, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	And that's exactly where Trump is right now.
	Trump knows.
	That the dollar's going to collapse, the economy is in a collapse that's accelerating.
	Trump knows that the left is still rigging elections, and the leftist judges are still blocking strategies that Trump is trying to pursue to protect the border, etc.
	And so, what is the strategy on Trump's part?
	Take you to war.
	Take it to war.
	Now, war benefits the empire.
	And it's important to understand how war benefits the empire in order to really grasp why the empire is pushing war.
	So, number one, it allows the empire to stifle freedom of speech.
	We're already seeing that with the Trump administration.
	Saying that you're not allowed to speak if you're going to criticize Israel.
	And they're literally arresting and deporting students, just yanking them off campus and kicking them out of the country, arresting them and not charging them with any crimes because they haven't committed any crimes.
	And just saying, well, we're going to yank your green card or your student visa.
	And you're not welcome here in the U.S. because we don't like your speech.
	So this is the beginning.
	...of the authoritarianism that is indicative of the collapse of the empire.
	You're going to see this almost certainly accelerate to the point where they'll be targeting Americans before long, arresting you for speech.
	So that's one sign, that's one, quote, benefit that war gives the empire, the ability to stifle speech.
	The other thing is the ability to shut down all the media that they don't like, which is exactly what Zelensky did in Ukraine.
	So it is illegal in Ukraine to run a website, a newspaper, a publisher that criticizes the Zelensky regime.
	They outlawed all those media organizations.
	They shut them all down.
	And why?
	They said, well, we can't allow any dissent because we're in a time of war.
	You know, this is an emergency.
	It's war.
	Well, Same thing's going to happen in the U.S. We're going to go to war, probably with Iran at first, and then eventually the U.S. is going to try to attack China, which is foolish.
	And then anybody whose speech isn't 100% on board, you know, hoorah, go America, then you're going to be arrested.
	And your website's going to be shut down.
	Your domain is going to be seized by the State Department.
	And they'll say, well, this is a time of national emergency.
	We have to have everybody on board with the war.
	See how that works?
	And then, thirdly, the third benefit of war to the Empire is that it gives them an excuse to explain away their failed policies.
	Like, well, hey, why is everybody broke?
	Oh, it's the war.
	It's those...
	Iranians! That's why everybody's broke.
	It's got nothing to do with all the money printing by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury.
	No. It's because of those bad guys over there in the Middle East.
	Or maybe they want to blame Russia, or they want to blame China.
	It's always their fault.
	It's never our fault.
	We're printing the money, but that's not our fault.
	So this is a way to point the finger of blame on some foreign enemy for every failed domestic policy.
	And there are a lot of failed domestic policies.
	The American people are sick.
	They're obese.
	They're uneducated, by and large.
	There are homeless people all over the streets of certain cities.
	The rule of law is collapsing.
	There's no safety in many cities.
	Would you walk through downtown Chicago at this point?
	Or L.A.?
	Or East St. Louis?
	No. No way.
	So, now there's a convenient excuse.
	Blame the foreign enemy.
	And then the fourth benefit is, of course, the Empire can then print more money and hand it out to all of its friends in the military-industrial complex.
	Say, well, we have to.
	We're at war.
	Gosh. Of course we have to print more money and hand it out to Raytheon and Boeing and whoever else.
	And that's exactly what they'll do.
	So it's another excuse to print money and inject money into the financial system to try to prop up that system.
	So, there you go.
	And there are other smaller benefits as well.
	For example, they can really attack the food supply and shut it down and say, well, the food shortages are because of the war.
	Or we had to have...
	Food for the soldiers, that's why you're going hungry, and everybody has to sacrifice for the benefit of the war effort.
	Same thing as World War II in the United States.
	They convince everybody, gather up all your silver, bring us silver, bring your metal, recycle all your metal.
	We have to make bullets for the men.
	It's all BS.
	It's all a cover story.
	Just to confiscate all the metal from everybody.
	And they'll run the same kind of scam.
	The reason that you're only allowed one chicken a week at the grocery store is because you've got to feed the soldiers.
	So this is how it works.
	This is why Trump has taken us to war.
	And then the big one is, oh, well, the reason the banks failed, it's not our fault.
	It's because of these foreign enemies.
	There was a cyber attack.
	There was a currency attack.
	There was whatever.
	So, you know, hey, the bank failures is not our fault.
	In fact, you know what we're going to do?
	This will be Trump soon.
	You know what we're going to do?
	Because the bank's failed.
	We're going to give you your money back.
	Yeah, all you got to do is sign up for this central bank digital currency system, this digital money.
	And when you log in and you claim your money in your new government-run digital wallet, all your money's right there.
	All you got to do is sign up and click yes that you agree to the terms of service which enslave you for life.
	And then you can have your money back, but you have to give us the power to control how you are allowed to spend that money.
	You know, central bank digital currency.
	So that's how it's going to work.
	So without the war, they don't have any of these excuses or convenient narratives to play on.
	So they need a war.
	And it looks like this war is going to start by bombing Iran.
	So my advice to you is assume there'll be a war.
	And assume energy prices will skyrocket, global supply chains will crater.
	Assume that we're going to be under attack as a nation.
	And it might go nuclear.
	There might be cyber attacks.
	There might be disruptions of the power grid, etc.
	And so just be prepared for all of that.
	If you're not already prepared with whatever redundant equipment and backup supplies that you might need, check out the Satellite Phone Store, our sponsor, sat123.com.
	Of course, they have satellite phones, but they also have solar generators.
	They also have Faraday bag products called Escape Zone.
	They have Starlink.
	Bandwidth systems that are decentralized that you can take anywhere.
	They're portable.
	They have satellite text messaging devices called BivyStix.
	And they have a lot more.
	So sat123.com.
	S-A-T-1-2-3.com.
	A very reliable company when it comes to backup communications.
	Make sure you've got backup comms.
	And you might also want to have ham radios and local radios, the Baofeng radios.
	You know, your local, what is it, GMRS or whatever it's called, just little local four-watt radios or two-watt radios that you can use across a neighborhood, for example.
	Just have backup comms, have backup gold and silver supplies, have backup food.
	You know, you're a prepper.
	You know what this is all about, emergency medicine, all of it.
	But... Far from being the peace president, Trump is proving that he's going to take us to war.
	So we should prepare accordingly.
	And maybe voice our opposition to that war.
	I don't want to go to war with Iran.
	I don't want to go to war with China.
	I don't want to go to war with Russia.
	I want to trade goods and services with those countries.
	But that doesn't centralize more power in the hands of the federal government, does it?
	Only war does that.
	And that's why they create war from time to time about every generation or so in order to convince the American people to consent to being enslaved.
	So that's what's about to happen.
	So get prepared, folks.
	And thank you for listening.

	Take care.
	All right, now, we've got one more BrightLearn book review video for you.
	This book is by M.W. Walbert, and it's called The Coming Battle, A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States.
	And the reason this is important to understand, you know, you probably read The Creature from Jekyll Island.
	G. Edward Griffin talks about...
	1913, you know this is Rothschilds, right?
	You know that's the Kazarian Mafia that set up the whole Federal Reserve, the whole banking cartel, right?
	And you know, when I say Kazarian Mafia, you know who I'm referring to, right?
	I hope.
	So these big banker interests have been running the show ever since.
	So over a century ripping off the American people.
	And it's important to understand the history of this to know how they're going to burn it down and take everybody's assets.
	Which is the plan.
	Remember, Trump's the arsonist.
	He's burning it down.
	I'm talking about the debt system.
	I'm not talking about the tariffs here.
	I'm talking about money printing.
	Trump's going to print trillions of dollars.
	He is going to burn down the value of the dollar.
	Also, with tax refunds and UBIs and everything else, they're going to print all that money.
	And then they're going to do a big rug pull.
	And in the rug pull...
	The wealthy who are connected and the people who have gold and silver are going to become really, really wealthy.
	And the people who don't, people just sitting there holding dollars, you know, with their pants down around their ankles, they're going to be totally screwed and the middle class will be wiped out.
	And this is the plan.
	This is how it's going to work.
	And then the impoverished masses will be put on a UBI.
	And fed food with toxic pesticides, and then, oh, there's going to be another outbreak, and then, oh, in order to get your UBI, you have to line up and take the vaccines, and then the jabs will be the depopulation weapons, and they're going to exterminate everybody in America, just like Israel's exterminating the Palestinians.
	It's just jabs instead of bombs, okay?
	Same exact agenda.
	Get rid of all the people, because the robots are coming.
	The robots.
	We're going to run the factories and make the wealthy even wealthier, and they don't need you and me around in order to do that.
	You understand?
	It's very simple.
	If you're finding this harsh to listen to, then I don't know if you're psychologically prepared to hear this podcast.
	This is for adult minds that are adaptable and open-minded and ready to face reality, because we're going to make it through this.
	They can't kill us.
	They can't...
	They can't enslave us.
	They can't impoverish us.
	We know how to be resilient.
	We know how to be redundant.
	We know how to evade the traps of the collapse.
	Like, we're not going to put our gold in the bank's safe deposit box, for example, because that's stupid.
	They're just going to take it, you know?
	So we're going to be here, but in order to be here, you've got to be able to face the reality of what's happening.
	Most people can't face it, and they will be destroyed.
	It's just, they're not psychologically strong enough to face reality.
	Okay? Alright, so here's the second book review video called The Coming Battle, A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States by M.W. Walbert.
	Not Walmart, but Walbert.
	That's a fun name.
	And then we'll have the weekend interview with Steve Quayle.
	Enjoy, and don't panic today.
	Whatever happens, we can make it through.
	And don't fall for the fear.
	There's going to be media fear.
	Oh my God, everybody sell!
	Everybody jump!
	Don't fall for it.
	It's all a psyop, folks.
	It's all a psyop.
	If you're properly positioned, you have nothing to fear.
	They can't touch you.
	They can't wipe you out.
	They can't destroy you.
	They can't starve you.
	They can't enslave you.
	They can't inject you.
	Nope. Because you say no, no, no, no, no.
	You have alternatives for all of this.
	Oh, hey, by the way, speaking of that, right now there is a docuseries playing at brightu.com called Prepare Tribe.
	That's all about food preparedness, growing your own food, saving seeds, all different kinds of food production, and then food preservation, getting off grid, having more of your own self-reliant food supply.
	And that's available for free right now.
	This is day three out of the docuseries.
	It started on Saturday, so this is day three.
	You can jump in right now.
	Go to brightu.com.
	That's the word bright and then the letter U. brightu.com and you can sign up and watch it for free or you can optionally purchase it and download the whole thing if you want and get the bonus materials or just watch it for free.
	And then I'll mention that my co-host for Decentralized TV, Todd Pitner, he and I have very nearly wrapped up production on another docuseries called Breaking the Chains, How to Decentralize Your Life.
	And I think the timing is perfect because it teaches you how to get off the grid in every area, from food and finance and medicine, knowledge, you name it.
	And we interviewed a lot of top experts on that, including an attorney.
	So we've got sort of decentralizing your legal activities as well, where we're applicable.
	Anyway, we'll have that coming up pretty soon.
	If you want to pre-register for that, just go to brightu.com, sign up for the Prepare Tribe course, and you'll be signed up for the upcoming Breaking the Chains course at the same time, because it's all the same sign-up.
	Actually, there's only one list.
	Just sign up for any docuseries.
	You're signed up for any future docuseries as well.
	So check that out again at brightu.com.
	Okay. Here we go with the book review video.
	Hey there.
	In this episode, we're embarking on a journey through the pages of a truly eye-opening book, The Coming Battle, A Complete History of the National Banking Money Power in the United States, by M.W. Walbert.
	This isn't just a history lesson.
	It's a revelation of how the power to control money has been wielded in our country, often with profound consequences for all of us.
	The book opens with a powerful quote from Andrew Jackson.
	Justice, full and ample justice to every portion of the United States, should be the ruling principle of every freeman.
	These words echo through the corridors of history, reminding us of the ideals our nation was founded upon.
	But as Walbert meticulously documents, the path to justice has been fraught with challenges, particularly when controlling money.
	From the earliest days of civilization, power has manifested in many forms.
	Walbert takes us through the ages, highlighting the oppressive reigns of ancient conquerors and the intellectual tyranny of the priesthood.
	But he argues that the most insidious form of power to emerge in modern times is the money power.
	This is not just about wealth.
	It's about a colossal international trust of financiers who, as Walbert puts it, assert a superiority above all jurisdictions and have their servants in the form of statesmen and potentates who enact their will into law.
	Walbert paints a picture of a gigantic combination of money dealers that threatens the very fabric of American liberty.
	He argues that this money power has manipulated governments, influenced wars, and even orchestrated financial panics to further its own interests.
	It's a bold claim, but one he supports with a wealth of evidence.
	One of the most fascinating parts of the book is its exploration of the origins of the national banking system in the United States.
	Walbert takes us back to the late-1990s.
	Hamilton, with his aristocratic background and connections to wealthy New York families, championed the bank as a necessary institution for economic stability.
	Jefferson, on the other hand, saw it as a dangerous concentration of power that could undermine the principles of democracy.
	Walbert delves into the debates and decisions that led to the creation of the first bank of the United States.
	He highlights the arguments made by Jefferson, who warned of the bank's potential to influence politics and business.
	Despite Jefferson's warnings, the bank was chartered, setting a precedent for future financial institutions that would wield immense power over the nation's economy.
	The book then takes us through the tumultuous history of the United States Bank, from its early days to its eventual demise.
	Walbert recounts the political battles, the financial panics, and the public outcry that surrounded the bank's operations.
	He describes how the bank at times acted as a powerful adversary to the government.
	Using its financial clout to influence elections and even oppose the government's efforts during the War of 1812.
	But perhaps the most chilling aspect of Walbert's account is his description of the bank's role in creating financial distress.
	He cites instances where the bank engineered panics by contracting the currency, causing widespread economic hardship.
	This was not just a byproduct of its operations, it was a deliberate strategy to maintain its dominance and influence.
	As we move further into the book, Walbert introduces us to the concept of the modern money power, a term he uses to describe the increasingly centralized and international nature of financial control.
	He argues that this power has become so pervasive that it now holds every civilized and semi-civilized people in its merciless grasp.
	It's a sobering thought, and one that resonates with many of the economic challenges we face today.
	Wolbert doesn't stop at just describing the problem.
	He offers a solution.
	He calls for the dethronement of the money power and its subordination to the will of the people.
	He advocates for a return to a system where the government, not private corporations, controls the issuance of currency.
	This, he believes, is essential for preserving American liberty and ensuring justice for all.
	The book also delves into the controversial demonetization of silver in 1873, A move that Walbert sees as a pivotal moment in the consolidation of the money power's control.
	He argues that this decision, driven by international financiers and enacted through deceptive means, had devastating consequences for the American economy and the livelihoods of millions.
	Walbert's account of the political maneuvering and backroom deals that led to the demonetization of silver is both fascinating and disturbing.
	He cites testimonies from senators and representatives who claim they were unaware of the true implications of the legislation they were voting on.
	It's a stark reminder of the power of lobbying and the potential for legislative sleight of hand.
	As we near the end of our journey through the coming battle, Walbert leaves us with a powerful message.
	He warns of the dangers of allowing a small group of financiers to control the nation's money supply.
	He argues that this concentration of power is antithetical to the principles of democracy and poses a threat to the economic well-being of the people.
	conclusion, The Coming Battle is a compelling and provocative exploration of the history of the national banking money power in the United States.
	It's a book that challenges us to think critically about the role of money and power in our society and consider financial reform's importance in preserving our democratic ideals.
	I hope this discussion has sparked your curiosity and encouraged you to explore the themes and ideas presented in Walbert's book.

	It's called Prepare Tribe, and this was created by Morgan and Alex Mitchell.
	ARK stands for Agricultural Resource Kit.
	And if you'll show what's on my desk, you know them because you've probably purchased some of their products in the past, like their seed kit there, 50,000 seeds in a 4-inch PVC container.
	Or they have their backyard seed kit there in the golden pouch, which is a smaller subset.
	And by the way, that backyard seed kit will be available at 50% off its normal price.
	During the streaming of this docuseries event, which begins April 5th.
	And they put this together just for us, showing from start to finish how to grow and harvest and preserve almost all the varieties of foods that are represented in this seed kit.
	Show the overhead shot, if you would, please.
	These are some of the seeds that are in their main kit.
	And they take you through this docuseries of how to grow, how to amend the soils, how to harvest, how to save seeds, and how to preserve the foods using like five different food preservation methods that walk you through everything you need to know to get the most out of these seeds and out of this food potential.
	And preparedness, from this point of view, it's not about firearms and bullets.
	It's about food.
	It's about self-reliance.
	It's also about building community.
	You're all more resilient.
	So it's called Prepare Tribe.
	And again, it begins on April 5th, which is a Saturday.

	right. Welcome everybody today to this emergency finance interview.
	No video on this.
	We'll probably use some illustration on it.
	I'm joined by Steve Quayle.
	This is Mike Adams here at brighteon.com.
	I'm joined by Steve Quayle on this day when it looks like the global financial Ponzi scheme is collapsing in real time.
	So welcome, Steve.
	It's always great to have you here.
	Well, thank you, Michael.
	And as we were talking about...
	You know, timing is everything.
	And it's Friday.
	The Dow's down right now.
	The Dow Jones is, what, 2,007 points down.
	But I want people to understand, even though the stock market is an indicator, the real story is behind the scenes, what's going on in the bond markets.
	And why this is important is it's the bond markets that drive the stock markets.
	When the bond markets take a hit, the value that banks are holding is, quote, good prime.
	And collateral, they start to collapse too.
	And I think it's critical that we talk today, because it's Friday, that people had better take this seriously.
	It's never gone this way, the economy, at such an accelerated rate with so many negative events happening concurrently.
	So I think, Mike, it's...
	Really time for people to pay attention.
	You know, I think human nature is put it off, put it off, put it off as long as you can.
	But if you put it off too long, you run out of time where you no longer can.
	So as I'm watching the European markets, as I'm watching all the markets, and remember everyone, Asia's ahead of us, and even the rattling of the different cages in the financial world are astonishing.
	And it's almost like my, and I believe it's truly the time they're going to sink.
	The globalists and the real power behind the scenes are going to sink the economies of the world because ultimately they don't.
	I want a one world currency.
	All this talk about one government, one world government, one world religion, and one world currency is all coming into focus now.
	So what people must understand, and look, I'm not talking down to anybody, but you better recognize that if something goes even worse through the weekend, I don't know yet what's going to happen to Monday.
	And I'm not trying to set a date.
	But depending on how...
	So I know that you sense it in your gut.
	Your thoughts as we're on this Friday and we're watching mayhem playing out before our eyes.
	Alright, so I have so many issues to discuss with you on this, Steve.
	So let me just brief people that we're seeing all kinds of assets absolutely.
	But of course, we know that the stock market has been a giant Ponzi scheme, overleveraged, overhyped, overbought for a long time.
	But also we're seeing a pullback of about $100 on gold, which is significant for gold.
	However, as you and I both know, Steve, like every chance that I have to buy more gold, I'm buying more gold at any price because I believe that gold and silver are the only real money.
	money, that dollars are not money, and whatever Trump or anybody does to try to respond to this is probably going to involve printing more money, which is only going to devalue the dollar and Yes, and it's basically anything that the governments will try and do is going to be...
	Too little, too late.
	And Mike, you know, I've been in the gold business decades, and I've watched a lot of things happen, but what's happening behind the scenes is some very powerful entities are driving down the spot gold price, manipulating the paper gold price, same thing with silver.
	And they do not want people to buy it, because the average person will look at it and say, I'm not buying gold, it's down 90 bucks.
	I'm not buying silver over the last two days.
	It's down three bucks.
	So the point is, is that I'm telling people, and have lived four decades with this, that without gold and silver, your entire world, whether you're going to retire or you're going to try and, you know, stay alive, stay afloat financially, is going to go down the drain.
	And I think this is what's critical.
	The inflation is skyrocketing, even without the tariffs.
	Tariffs are too little too late.
	You see the indefinite future.
	Well, we're going to be caught up in two years.
	The Golden Age is returning.
	Well, I got news for everyone.
	The Golden Age came to an end in cataclysmic events.
	And by the way, the Golden Age in mythology refers to both the time prior to the creation of Adam and Eve and the Golden Age in the time of the Greeks.
	So there's two periods.
	But when the Golden Age is spoken of, and I've been writing about comparative mythology.
	All of the weird stuff, out of place artifacts.
	I can tell you one thing, that it is specifically a time period when the false gods, the Sumerians worshipped the gods who came from heaven, not a singular, the I am that I am, creator of the universe, but they...
	Basically began to worship fallen angels, and that's why this is critical in this talk.
	The collapse of the financial system is so orchestrated, so coordinated, that the whales, and a whale is a term for a very wealthy group.
	of investors or a very wealthy individual.
	But there are people, Mike, even behind the scenes that are wealthier than Elon Musk even before the Tesla incident.
	So, you know, I think it's...
	It's critical that the one term, bail-in, has got to be emblazoned in everyone's mind.
	It's simply this, ladies and gentlemen.
	If we get into enough trouble by not being able to redeem people that are showing up wanting their interest payment on all of our T-bills, T-bonds, and T-notes, especially the long bond, that's going to trigger massive defaults.
	And so the Treasury is in a big problem, but the Fed will, you know, obviously you hear federal deposit insurance.
	There's no money there.
	And I mean, it's a scam.
	It's kind of like the emperor of no clothes.
	So Mike, we're at an explosive point.
	What's happening to the economy is equivalent to nuclear war.
	So, oh, wow.
	That's a big quote right there, that what's happening to the economy is equivalent to nuclear war.
	It was, before you said that, it was reminding me of what happened during COVID.
	There was this massive You know, shutdown collapsed during COVID, and I don't know if you remember, but oil went negative, like, $50 a barrel or something.
	Negative. They were giving it away to anybody who could store it, you know?
	I mean, they were paying people to take it.
	Now, oil's not doing that right now, obviously, but this situation is more severe in certain ways.
	I want to run this by you, Steve, and inform our audience.
	Now, so the tariffs, you know, this is intentionally implemented by Trump.
	And I want to ask you in a little bit about what is Trump...
	It seems like he's trying to achieve a reset, a great taking, something like that.
	But before that, just practically, these are tariffs on imports, and other countries are retaliating by putting more tariffs on our exports.
	But if you think about China, so there's a massive tariff, like 50 plus percent on everything coming in from China now.
	This is going to break the retailers.
	This is going to break dollar store.
	This is going to break Walmart.
	You know, Target, Amazon is going to be hit so hard.
	And many of the retailers are on the verge of bankruptcy right now, as you know.
	But Steve, before you respond, these retailers, they borrow money to buy inventory.
	So they're all on debt.
	And the debt that they...
	They're borrowing money from institutional banks, typically.
	Well, the banks, they package all those commercial debt...
	And they slice them and dice them like the subprime mortgages, and they turn them into CLOs, which are collateralized loan obligations.
	Slice and dice the CLOs, give them an A++++ credit rating through Moody's or whoever.
	They sell them off to pension funds and hedge funds and family houses, right?
	All of those are going to get wiped out when these retailers default on all these loans.
	Am I wrong?
	Am I right?
	Am I making sense, Steve?
	You're right.
	You're right.
	And Mike, here's the thing.
	Commercial real estate is going to be The biggest albatross around the retail world, there's nobody that can pay the kind of square footage prices that commercial real estate is used to generating.
	And this is what most don't understand, is that the biggest financial institutions in the world, especially the United States, as just an example, they hold a lot of collateral, meaning they hold the mortgages on these real estate.
	And we're talking millions and hundreds of millions.
	I think this is going to be so critical.
	If we look at the restaurant industry, And you can default on a mortgage.
	mortgage holders into not only just spares, but also companies like BlackRock will move in by defaulted mortgages.
	And you can default on a mortgage by not being able to pay your insurance.
	So this is going to be, how should I say this, the great gleaning and the cleaning out of the American, if you will, economy, lock, stock and barrel, except for the ultra rich.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	This does feel like a great taking type of moment where the typical middle class investors are about to get just completely obliterated financially.
	And I would say anybody not holding gold and silver Is going to see their assets just destroyed.
	And then there's going to be this great taking, right?
	Where, like you said, the Black Rocks come in and take the homes.
	The banks will, they're going to be bank failures for the commercial lenders.
	They're going to have bank bail-ins.
	They're going to seize everybody's deposits.
	Take the money, right?
	Absolutely. Right.
	And then the pensions.
	The pensions are going to be wiped out, which means there's either going to have to be a government pension bailout, which will probably happen is my guess, but that's going to require Trump to authorize the printing of like $10 trillion.
	So what's that going to do?
	It's going to double the money supply again, or whatever the actual ratio is, or maybe triple the money supply.
	I mean, in terms of certain versions of the money, like circulating money.
	And the bottom line is, you're going to be having $50 hamburgers at a restaurant.
	The dollar store is going to be the $10 store, if they even have anything.
	So we're talking about selective Shelves being empty of certain goods, like things from China, we're talking about an economic depression galore in terms of just clobbered economic activity, GTP absolutely plunging, bankruptcies of lenders and banks eventually, although that's going to take a couple of months to play out because of all the timescale here, and the impoverishment of tens of millions of Americans.
	Steve, is this all by design?
	Absolutely. And I want to just share what's critical.
	Even today, Mike, I posted on steepcoil.com the story about 500,000, I think it was pounds, of pre-made biscuits and ham and cheese.
	You know, like you see in the convenience stores where they put them in a microwave and heat them up.
	But it was only over this issue.
	They didn't put sesame seeds on the wrapper.
	You know that when you and I talked about the food issue, that was shut down.
	Our listeners, ours together, tried to post it on X. They said it violated their community standards.
	Yeah, that's a true story.
	And ladies and gentlemen, these are lies when you see the word.
	Now, this just happened today.
	And you can always tell what the boys and girls in the bunkers want because It's crazy.
	Whatever you see them confiscating, let's say at the first week, It's always interesting to me they're confiscating the complimentary buns, like hamburger buns or ketchup or tomato.
	It's almost like they have a giant, and I believe this is true, a control room, and they're monitoring all the meals that everyone eats are preferable, and all this stuff is being moved underground.
	This isn't scare tactics.
	This isn't conspiracy theory.
	This is fact.
	So what happens, Mike?
	For instance, Great Britain, they're out of bread on the grocery shelves.
	They're out of wheat on the grocery shelves.
	And so now we're dealing with weatherized warfare.
	This has everything to do with the yield of wheat going on over the middle of the country.
	And what we're watching is a systematic...
	Intentional starvation of the middle class, the destruction of restaurants, even before COVID, 60% of all working class individuals at least ate one meal out a day.
	I'm not talking fancy restaurants, but I'm just saying the street vendor hot dog guy or the...
	Ruben Sandwiches or whoever was making a living by taking care of the people that are working.
	The work ethic is dead.
	And not only work ethic, that's maybe not the best word, but the job opportunities are lessening and lessening.
	And I want to say this.
	In order to have tariffs, you've got to have people that want to sell you stuff.
	And as the American dollar goes down the drain, it's that giant flushing sound.
	Nobody is going to want to sell anything to America because what are we going to give them?
	And again, I want people to understand...
	You know, there's nothing that anybody will need, and I know that, listen, all of the billions, I'm glad President Trump's doing that, but it's always in the future.
	It's like seeing France saying, well, by 2035, we'll have the next generation of nuclear weapons and advanced fighter jets, fifth generation, but guess what?
	This is, you know, 2025, and we're at war.
	We are at world war, and I think you and I are probably, you know, I don't watch every other talk show or listen to every other broadcast, but the point is we're in a war and everybody thinks it's business as usual, but guess what?
	We're running out of business and nothing's usual.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Of course, massive layoffs, massive bankruptcies, unemployment through the roof, but let me bring in a counterpoint in all of this, which is that I have publicly stated I support Agreed.
	So I totally understand why Trump is doing this.
	But the question is, can we survive it?
	Like the system may be so fragile that it can't handle this shock.
	And we're going to see a massive, how do they call it?
	Disorganized unraveling.
	They use euphemisms that are very mild-sounding to talk about a total collapse, but the thing is, the U.S. market's lost almost $3 trillion already, just in one and a half days.
	But already, like Hal Turner's reporting that Vietnam has had a call with Trump, and they're folding.
	They want to go to zero tariffs on U.S. goods.
	And I predicted that.
	I said that's going to happen with most countries, but not China.
	China's going to be the big one.
	But Thailand wants to negotiate.
	Vietnam wants to negotiate.
	I think we'll see the same thing from South Korea, etc.
	So my question is, what do you think, Steve?
	What do you think China is going to do?
	Because this is a giant game of global chicken where China...
	And Trump are driving 18 wheelers at each other head on, and neither one is willing to bend.
	What do you think is going to happen?
	Well, I think, number one, your illustration of China is critical.
	They are on record, Mike, you know, we owe them, the United States owes China $2 trillion.
	when the last batch of tariffs were issued, what was it yesterday, the day before against China, China said to their investing public, and there's a lot of billionaires in China, you can no longer invest in the United States.
	You can't buy real estate.
	And oh, by the way, they told us to the Yeah. There's a famous statement, von Clausewitz on war.
	Now listen to this.
	He said, when goods don't cross borders, you can use that in an export-import version, armies do.
	And historically, when nations get bankrupt, and for the record, The EU is PU.
	They are totally broke.
	They have no gold.
	They can say, well, we're going to take, and they have said this, $10 trillion from all of our member states, in essence, entire Western Europe, and we're going to take their money, their savings account, and we're going to give them basically bonds or IOUs, and they won't be able to cash, they won't be able to collateralize them, but basically they're saying, for the good of the country.
	What that translates out into, they're going to, first of all, economically murder people.
	And by the way, if you can't...
	Hey, for something to eat, and you can't, you know, you can't get any services, and well, we're sorry, Mr. M, we're sorry, Mr. Quayle, but it's for the good of the country.
	These are lying devils from hell.
	And even the head of the EU is basically saying, man, they're screwing up our plans.
	Yeah, and I want everyone to understand this.
	In the globalist eyes, Every nation that had sovereignty and identity must be destroyed and brought into the global blob, and so identity is critical, and the financial wherewithal, when nations can't barter.
	And by the way, Russia did a very cool thing.
	And it's cool.
	It's that they set up an alternative way of barter where the nations that join BRICS, and by the way, the ones that openly join BRICS, you see how many are behind the scenes joining BRICS because in essence, we don't have the club that we used to have because we used to have a strong military.
	We don't have the club we used to have.
	We have no true industrial base to run even a wartime production.
	Meanwhile, China does and Russia does.
	And Iran is going to be the catastrophic, in my opinion, the biggest mistake made in history as far as the amount of lives lost when Netanyahu and President Trump think they've got one up because they have atom bombs.
	They don't have hypersonic weapons, either one of them.
	And all of our stealth craft, ladies and gentlemen, this isn't a put-down.
	This is a wake-up.
	All of our stealth aircraft are subject to being able to seen by over the horizon.
	So, saying all that, Mike, I believe this is the weekend that is going to literally go down in history, and it's not just the stock market, it's beyond.
	China has stated, I want to just reiterate this, China has stated they will not roll over the interest due to them on $2 trillion.
	They have also stated that if the United States can't pay the interest, they'll...
	Consider it an act of war.
	This is a big deal.
	Okay, so let me add to that because, wow, I mean, this involves Iran, Russia, China, the trade wars, all of it.
	It's all wrapped together.
	And Taiwan, as you know.
	So, Trump threatening to bomb Iran, right?
	Yep. And then China did a simulated invasion of Taiwan to send a message there, right?
	Yes, sir.
	To say, if you bomb Iran, then we're going to attack Taiwan.
	And then Russia condemned the U.S. threat against Iran.
	And then there were rumors that there was going to be a preemptive attack on Diego Garcia, which is the U.S. Air Force runway base on this island in the Indian Ocean that's within bombing range of Iran and Yemen, both, right? So, Steve, is it possible?
	That we're going to see trade wars go insane, China sell off treasuries, banning rare earth minerals, at the same time that they assault Taiwan, America bombs Iran because, you know, Pete Hegseth is a moron, and Trump is still living in the 1990s, by the way, when it comes to the U.S. military, and then Russia starts launching freaking Oreshnik missiles at...
	Diego Garcia and U.S. aircraft carriers.
	I mean, could this whole thing blow up financially and kinetically at the same time?
	Well, I believe, Mike, that's exactly what we're on the air talking about, because one thing leads to another, you know?
	It's really, how should I say this, interesting that, and I use the word octopian, like an octopus, okay?
	All the tentacles are around the United States, and we still are carrying, I mean, HEGSF should not be the Secretary of Defense, SECDAF, in my opinion.
	Did everyone notice that the head of the NSA and a couple of other agencies got involved?
	But that was in the same context of ours with President Trump saying, boy, we've discovered some really, really bad stuff.
	Do you remember that?
	Yeah. But what was that?
	We still don't know exactly what that was.
	Well, I believe what they discovered is a coup that's going on because everybody...
	Listen, you can drain the swamp.
	And I want people to understand this.
	Trump can appoint the different heads of the national security establishment, but is the...
	Oh, good night.
	The deputy directors of operations, they call them DDOS, that control the money, control what goes on, and they don't care who's above them because the person coming in generally doesn't know the intelligence establishment.
	And we've had so many faux pas and failures in that world.
	I'm told this by guys who are in that world.
	Ultra black, you know, ultra black means...
	Super top secret.
	But it's no secret that people can no longer put two and two together.
	So we have all of the threats against the president, and we also have tomorrow, which will be, what, the day of rage?
	And I don't know what the true numbers are, but you've got, I heard this, there's 5,000 tons, really, listen to this, 5,000 tons of bricks.
	Being distributed throughout the United States.
	So these are not people that are playing games.
	The question is, what happens if firearms and ammo are distributed?
	I guess I have a question, Mike, and I'll throw it right back to you.
	What happens when the first shot is fired, and who do you think will fire it?
	This isn't a trick question.
	This is a question I'm asking myself.
	I'm going, well, what makes the most sense to get the most people?
	Basically rioting to turn it into a civil war, because civil war has been used by Maxine Waters, Jasmine Crockett, by the way, no relation to Davey, and I just couldn't resist.
	And you're hearing it, the entire Democratic left, with few exceptions, are basically calling for armed revolution.
	I believe...
	I'll turn it right back to you.
	The United States is going under, and it's coming under, an armed communist takeover and takedown.
	And they never happen without bloodshed.
	I think that's what we're...
	I think what's going to happen, and I'm going to publish this on Saturday, so this is the big day that you're talking about.
	We're recording this later on Friday.
	But we'll publish it on Saturday.
	I believe that there are still deep state elements of the FBI that will run...
	A false flag attack on leftists who are protesting against Doge and Tesla and Trump.
	So they'll pull what they pulled.
	Like in Charlottesville, something like that.
	They'll have a right-wing MKUltra guy in a Trans Am vehicle or something, or maybe in a Cybertruck, run over a bunch of left-wing protesters so that the media can scream that the left is under attack.
	That can be the trigger point, like a George Floyd type of trigger for the entire radical left who have lost their freaking minds.
	Steve, let me add this.
	I just released heavy metals test results of the fallout, the chemtrails fallout was a sample was collected over six months, just stuff falling out of the sky in Florida sent to me by Dr.
	Jane Ruby.
	What I saw in these test results, Steve, these are metals that cause insanity.
	We're talking crazy high copper.
	I think we're good.
	soil samples or garden samples.
	We don't see mercury in that.
	Well, there's mercury on these tests at some significant levels.
	And then the aluminum is off the charts, Steve, like aluminum galore.
	So Steve, this is another attack vector.
	And it seems to me like they're dropping these metals on everything, gardens, farms, waterways, backyards, school, playgrounds, everything, to try to drive people insane.
	And we're seeing the insanity.
	It's like another vector of the Yep. And I think, Mike, it's the most...
	All-encompassing when there is, you know, when you're dealing with chemtrails, and, you know, I'm old enough to say this with accuracy, historic accuracy.
	When I brought that out, oh, good night, decades ago, actually when I first started on talk radio in 19...
	1995, but I was talking about 1990, and that's 35 years ago.
	People couldn't believe because they said, well, those are contrails.
	I said, con stands for condensation.
	Chemtrails, and then there was pretty much aluminum, barium, and strontium.
	And obviously, now we're seeing the change in the chemical composition of what they're spraying.
	And also, I remember the days when people were saying, man, there's some...
	We're all the lab rats.
	And shame on every single one of those chemtrail spraying pilots.
	May they repent or may they go directly into hell.
	And I could not be more serious in my statement.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	This is a multi-vector extermination attack on humankind and humanity created in the image of God.
	I mean, your video production company is called Gen6.com, referring to Genesis 6. We are created by God, and the extermination agenda is a satanic agenda that is designed to destroy as many lives as possible.
	You know, it's not just the abortions.
	It's not just the transmutilations of children.
	It's the mass poisoning of the food, the mass poisoning of the water.
	It's the poisoning of minds with the info wars and the psychological operations, etc.
	Plus the vaccines, the depopulation jabs.
	All of this is happening, and now the economic decimation of the American people.
	What is Trump's plan here?
	No, go ahead.
	I'm sorry.
	Let me finish.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean to interrupt.
	Finish what you were saying.
	What is Trump's plan?
	No, I was pretty much done asking.
	Trump says this is going to make America stronger, which I understand.
	I understand that we have to force the other nations to drop their tariffs on us.
	But Trump is not committed to an honest money system.
	He wants more printing, and he wants the Fed to lower interest rates, which will only make borrowing money Cheaper.
	So we're looking at a magnification of the money supply, which only creates artificial wealth.
	And Trump seems to be all in on that.
	This long term, you know, you can't print your way to wealth.
	Right? Yep.
	And again, I would just say this.
	The secret agreement, I stand by it.
	I won't back down from it.
	The people that subscribe to my...
	Newsletter, The Q Files, that's a podcast or private briefings.
	They know what Operation Sandman is.
	And Sandman is the coordinated repudiation of the U.S. dollar by behind the scenes markets, 146 nations.
	And what people are now coming to grips with is that the U.S. dollar isn't what it's made out to be.
	The most astonishing news that anybody should even...
	Try and grasp his 14 money machines that are just adding zeros and ones into the digital world of digital destruction.
	Did that blow your mind?
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	And look, it seems to me that this is designed to get people so desperate that Trump puts them on a UBI that is rolled out with a CBDC.
	Like, your bank account's going to be worthless.
	Your pension could be wiped out.
	Trump's going to come to the rescue with the new digital money system, which is the mark of the beast system.
	Yep. And the beast has to show up.
	Remember, in any complex system...
	There's always compartmentalized intelligence.
	Those of you who are listening to this podcast who have had SCI, you know, specific forms of security clearances.
	But the guys behind the scenes have access to everything that you're only compartmentalized.
	So here's the thing, Mike.
	This is Satan's...
	End time play to destroy all of human beings, all natural flora and fauna, to destroy the water, and oh, by the way, everyone, when the earthquakes come in certain parts of the country, whether it's in New Madrid, or the west coast,
	San Andreas, or any of the big quakes, and they're all starting to be acting up, earthquakes in Texas, they can blame it on, you know, obviously drilling and everything, oil drilling, fracking, but the point is, There isn't enough infrastructure, Mike. There aren't enough trained machinists.
	everybody that is pretty much built this country after World War II, a lot of them are either retired or they're dying.
	And the generation that's coming up, look, if they can't add two and two, and seriously, some of them can't, and you see the National Education Association destroying, and they have destroyed, you know, the intelligence of our young people.
	And oh, by the way, what The vaccinations are designed to destroy.
	And the dishonest media, I'm telling you, the day is coming when everybody is going to remember who lied to them and who told them the truth.
	And it's important that people find out.
	Look, you and I are on the air on a Saturday, April 4th, and we're fighting for people's lives because here's the most tragic statement I think I can imagine.
	When a little child comes to its mother...
	And says, Mommy, I'm hungry.
	Or comes to its dad, you know, a little boy, a little girl, Daddy, I'm hungry.
	This is going to be the greatest shock.
	And I'm telling you, these people are entities.
	They're from hell.
	They are, many of them are literally possessed.
	I'm talking demon possessed.
	And ladies and gentlemen, the other day, Mike, we got to get this.
	They're now talking about bodyoids.
	Did you see that story?
	No, what's that?
	Human bodies raised, grown in labs, human bodies, no heads, no feeling, and it's going to be a viable food source.
	Well, I'll tell you what.
	I'd like to see that guy jump into a wood chipper.
	And I'm not kidding you.
	What we're being is desensitized to cannibalism with the whole bio-waste, you know?
	The liquefaction, I think it's what in Washington State, you take dead bodies, you liquefy them, and then you use the human remains.
	that go in to fertilize.
	Oh, one with the earth.
	The biggest batch of BS I've ever heard in the world.
	But now, imagine this.
	They're growing.
	This is proposed.
	It's on my website.
	People want to take a look at it.
	They're called bodyoids.
	B-O-D-Y-O-I-D-S.
	And they're basically grown in laboratories without heads, with torsos, and basically are turned into Food products.
	So, you know, I guess ordering, I'm sorry to be this cavalier, but leg of lamb?
	I hope the last person that donated their DNA wasn't named Mr. Lamb, you know?
	I think it's critical that people, listen, I'm so tired of nameless experts, okay?
	What's an expert?
	An unknown drip of water, okay?
	I mean, an expert.
	And they never quote them.
	And now we're being told, remember the WF told us, basically process your urine, reprocess it, and they'll take your feces and turn it into food.
	Well, ladies and gentlemen, that didn't go over.
	Then they jumped to insects.
	Well, you know, I would say that's unusual.
	You have a bunch of WEFers, and I call them arachnids at large, telling you, you've got to eat bugs, but they're going to eat Chateaubriand.
	Then you go the next step, where now they're saying, it's okay to eat humans.
	By the way, I'm pretty much on record three and a half decades ago, you know, three and a half decades ago, saying, and this is what I believe the Lord shared with me.
	Those who have been listening to me will know this.
	When cannibalism fills the headlines of the day, that's a pretty good example of it.
	There's massive cases of cannibalism, and the volcanoes, the major volcanoes of the world start erupting.
	Then know that tribulations have begun.
	And ladies and gentlemen, you know, a lot of people say, we're not in the Great Tribulation.
	Doesn't do any good if you're dying of starvation one month before the Great Tribulation.
	People are unrealistic.
	Remember, during the lockdown of COVID, any of us could get on, order Amazon.
	Sure, they'd come with their gloves and their mask on, but we could still order.
	You could even order out with good restaurants, and you go to them, you pick it up.
	But this is different, Mike.
	When nothing's available, and Jeff Bezos said an interesting thing.
	He said, I think it was three or four years ago, don't hold me to that, but let's say at least four years ago, that Amazon won't always be around.
	Do you remember that quote?
	If you never heard it, I did.
	I jumped all over it.
	I said, what do you think he knows where he would make that statement?
	Look at what Amazon supplied.
	Groceries, toiletries.
	I mean, you know what they have.
	And then even Walmart and all these other companies came on with online shopping.
	Do you know, ladies and gentlemen, how many Walmart stores are being shut down?
	Do you know how many Target stores?
	We're talking no longer, oh, a dozen, here a dozen.
	We're talking hundreds.
	And what they're doing, Mike, because of the short shelving, they're closing Walmarts and they're moving all the inventory into, let's say, the wealthier area.
	They want the people to spend all their money until there's nothing left to, you know, back up or replenish the shelves.
	So we're being like...
	Okay, I'm going to call what you're talking about.
	We're going to have more food deserts and more retail deserts where the brick-and-mortar retailers are absolutely shutting down just across the country in huge numbers.
	And also, of course, restaurants are shutting down.
	And I forgot to mention how much food and supplements comes from China.
	Now, you may know this, Steve.
	But over 10 years ago, at our store, healthrangersstore.com, we announced that we were going China-free.
	For everything that we could, which, unfortunately, goji berries come from the Tibetan regions of China, so we still have to get goji berries there.
	We went China-free on everything else we could.
	And we started putting labels, China-free, China-free, on all our products.
	People mocked us.
	They absolutely mocked us.
	But yet, right now, our supply chain...
	Depends almost nothing on China.
	So we aren't going to have to raise prices because of these China tariffs, right?
	And now it looks genius to be China-free.
	But 10 years ago, everybody was mocking us.
	But the point is, folks, do you know that almost all of the vitamin C in the supply chain comes from China?
	Almost like 99.99%, okay?
	All the other supplements, the vitamins, the nutrients, the amino acids, even the herbs and the herbal extracts, so much of it comes from China.
	And even frozen foods that are sold at Whole Foods as organic broccoli florets.
	It's from China.
	So all that stuff is going to go up 50%, boom, overnight.
	Or more, depending on how crazy this gets.
	Which means Whole Foods prices, boom, 50%, right?
	Online supplements.
	The supplements sold on Amazon.
	50%. A bunch of stuff.
	Again, not going to affect us, which is great for us, right?
	But what the masses are buying out there, Steve, they're not going to be able to afford it anymore.
	When they're already getting buried under car insurance rates, home insurance, health insurance, and just inflation.
	Routine devaluation of the dollar.
	There are people now that are middle class that in six months are going to be homeless.
	I mean, large numbers of them, Steve.
	That's what we're looking at.
	Well, we're looking at it already, Mike.
	I'm in Bozeman, Montana.
	You're in Texas.
	But even in this place, it's not warm here.
	We don't have daily forecasts.
	We have hourly forecasts.
	You wake up in the morning and it's, I'm not kidding, below freezing, like today.
	And then you might get warm enough to melt the ice.
	And then it gets cold again, turns into an ice skating rink.
	But what's happening...
	...is that so many people are moving here that we do not have the infrastructure.
	Like somebody who's maybe thinking a little bit brought up to the county commissioners, when's the last time you guys did a water survey?
	Meaning what's available to the community?
	So when you build beyond the support structure, you're automatically, you're basically wiping out the people that can't...
	Also, there's a new scam, and this is important for everybody to know.
	The insurance companies, I saw one of the letters, are telling their...
	They're insured that they want to send a man around to walk the perimeter of your property, take a look at the outside, and then this is something new, Mike.
	They want to come in and make sure the insurance is enough to cover your loss, should you have one.
	That's totally bogus.
	The real story is they're now finding an outlet.
	Not all the insurance companies, but some of them, to sell all the information.
	Somebody comes in and says, hmm, I noticed that this man has an art collection.
	Hmm, I noticed that this person has two freezers.
	It is the acquisition of data on personal people that go into your profile.
	I'm just telling you, this is a new thing.
	And they'll also be making recommendations.
	Well, we have to raise your premium, Mr. Adams, Mr. Coyle, because, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	It is a, how do I say this?
	It's a fact-finding expedition that I'm calling Search and Destroy, okay?
	And this, ladies and gentlemen, this is real.
	One of the major insurance companies just sent out a letter, oh, we want to make sure you're covered, but we also want to make sure we're covered.
	This may result in higher insurance rates.
	Everything they want to do is get Everybody's data, down to your DNA, everything is a commodity for sale, including human lives.
	And that is one of the main points in Mystery Babylon being destroyed in the book of Revelation.
	And we fit the category over 200 points, but people can't accept that because they don't like to use the word Bible.
	And the prophecies of the book of Revelation are the prophecies of Jesus that God gave to his servant John, and John the Revelator, the Apostle John, and now we're seeing my absolute...
	I can tell you point blank, that is a big deal.
	Because when I was in the food business, you know, and on a major level, boy, we...
	We wanted certified organic.
	We wanted stuff.
	And I'll say this.
	I didn't want, even those days, you know, anything that could be suspect.
	Like, for instance, frozen strawberries and blueberries.
	I didn't want them to come from Mexico.
	I'm not trying to be a racist.
	I'm trying to be a realist.
	And at that...
	I think it's important that people understand.
	And this isn't paranoia.
	Basically causing everybody to have to become involved in what's going on behind the scenes.
	So like if you have an organic, let's say crop in your backyard.
	And you notice that the chemtrails have been absolutely unrelenting.
	They're not stopping.
	That food, depending on what Mike just told you that they're finding in the chemtrail residue, that's no longer organic.
	It can become deadly.
	And remember, that's what Bill Gates wanted to do.
	He wanted to inject with messenger RNA.
	The cattle, the hogs, and the chicken.
	And some of the smartest scientists in the world are saying, you don't want mRNA, messenger RNA, in your food, or you don't want it anywhere.
	And oh, by the way, because we're talking about...
	A one-world currency, a one-world government, and also a one-world religion.
	Oh, guess what?
	Bill Gates of hell, in my opinion, comes up and says, you know, I want to have an AI God.
	He's on record saying this.
	I don't want any of this old-time religion.
	An AI God.
	The AI God will have answers to all your questions.
	Oh, really?
	This is a real thing.
	And people that are so enthralled...
	With AI, what do you think robotics with AI are going to do to your job future or your job security?
	I would say this.
	Today. Today is, again, Friday, April 4th.
	You should be taking steps.
	And, you know, this won't be posted until tomorrow, Saturday.
	But you don't want to be.
	Here's the golden rule of survival.
	You don't want to be where the crowds are.
	You want to be where the crowds aren't.
	And Mike, there's even reports now that the left, the loony left, is going out and they got the records of the Trump donors and they're putting pictures of a Trump pamphlet on people's mailboxes and basically all kinds of messages.
	We know who you are.
	and gentlemen, that's terrorism.
	That's targeting.
	I don't know what's going to happen Saturday, but I can tell you this.
	This is going to be different and I'm telling everyone, Please take this warning seriously.
	Well, what happens if nothing happens?
	You guys are just scaring us on purpose.
	Then you had another chance to put more time between you and the event.
	Because we are, would you agree with this, Mike?
	We are undergoing a communist revolutionary overthrow of the United States.
	Yeah, clearly.
	And I want to remind our listeners here that three years ago, you and I did...
	Yeah. How fragile is
	our society to the point where, you know, you start having leftists that, well, let me back up.
	You know there are sabotage agents that are stationed in America by the tens of thousands.
	Okay? I mean, you know some of them are from China, some from...
	The Middle East that are like radical Islam, that hate America for all the Middle Eastern reasons, and then there's the Chinese agents, then there's the narco cartels, etc.
	They're just waiting for a moment to begin the mass sabotage of the power grid, which is going to take down the cell towers.
	Which reminds me to plug our sponsor today, by the way, the satellite phone store, sat123.com, because that's going to still work, you know, satellites.
	And also they did a deal with Starlink, just as a side note, starlink123.com.
	So you can stay online, you can have internet access, even when the power grid is totally down and the towers and all the bandwidth is broken, you can still get satellite bandwidth.
	But my point, Steve, is how fragile is our society to the point where If this thing, if the activation of the sabotage agents goes live, how's Trump going to stop any of that?
	He can't, Mike.
	He can't.
	And for the record, what you're talking about is Starlink.
	They make a really neat portable one.
	What is it?
	A foot square?
	It's not a dish, you know.
	It's a panel.
	And I mean, it's really small, and the router's in and everything, and I drive a pickup truck, and basically, I can just pull out the legs on it, aim it, and you got a little app on your phone, and you can learn to, basically, it's really easy.
	Look, if I can do it, it's super easy.
	But I'm telling everyone, information will be the critical thing, and Sat123.com, they carry this, and they got a deal on it.
	And look, what you want to do is have redundancy.
	Now, there are those who say, well, I don't have anybody call on a satellite phone.
	You don't need one.
	But for those of you who have family members, for those of you who want to stay in touch, and anybody that's listening to this podcast broadcast or listening to us in whatever medium, they're going to want to know what's going on.
	Like Galileo, I just received.
	...received an email.
	I'll be posting on Galileo today, provided I can get into it just because of password issues.
	Not in my making, but there's something going wrong.
	But I want everyone to know this.
	I offer a subscription to the Q-Files, $9.95 a month.
	Those are podcasts.
	I offer a subscription for my private briefings.
	I don't mean to confuse, but that's twice a week, and it's $150, so divided by 12, and it's $12 a month.
	$12 and change.
	I'm not a coffee drinker, but I ask people to drink coffee, what's the average price for coffee?
	I say, is it okay to say $3 a cup?
	I don't know.
	$3.50 if you don't get all the...
	Frappes and all the different stuff.
	See, I'm not a coffee drinker.
	Or almond milk or soy milk.
	Whatever you're getting.
	But that's only four cups of coffee for the whole month.
	And my goal, Mike, is to get people the most up-to-the-minute data that we can.
	I believe today people are getting, if you could put, the most perilous time on the head of a pin.
	I believe that pin, that all the information now is starting to roll, or pitch and yaw.
	And the thing is, is that when it goes, we don't want any of your listeners, my listeners, our listeners, we don't want any kids saying, Mommy, I'm hungry.
	Somebody said, You're just playing on emotions.
	I said, No, I love kids.
	And obviously, you're pro-emotion, pro- I can't say it.
	Pro-abortion, and you don't.
	Obviously, you stand for DEI, so you stand for the sexual mutilation of children.
	Well, listen, that's a sick, demonic, ghoulish, G-H-O-U-L-I-S-H, which is a term for a monster that eats human flesh.
	So, listen, interesting.
	In Texas, probably 10 years ago now, maybe 15, I was really, how should I say this, tight with some four-star generals in spec ops.
	But they weren't just spec ops, they were black ops and ultra black.
	I mean, no one knows they exist.
	You go try and find them, they don't.
	But one of the generals who became a really good friend of mine said, Tell the people, see this, I was on talk radio, that already the flavorings and some of the, oh, what would you say, the things they add in, the flavorings and ingredients, that's the word I'm looking for, are...
	...from, he said, point-blank babies, and he also said cadavers.
	Interesting. And so, what I want people to understand is you need to pray, you need to have discernment, and it's not just getting something in your stomach.
	You want to get something that's safe in your body.
	So, in essence, people are saying, and the WEFers are saying, you know, they're telling us to eat feces and die.
	They're telling us, oh, for dessert, have your favorite cockroach.
	And I said, well, how can you eat cockroaches?
	You'd be dishonoring the WEFers.
	And the thing is, is that we're now watching, Mike.
	I would say this, the coming together of everything we've warned about, and it's not going to get better.
	And so you can promise anything.
	In three years, we'll be back to where we are.
	If you keep pushing Russia, and I want to make this clear.
	We in the United States under Victoria Nuland, and at that time the different British prime ministers, especially the one that was British prime minister for what, a week or two?
	Maybe a little longer than that.
	Liz Truss?
	Yeah, and I don't know how long she was, but listen, they're the ones that are screaming about...
	We'll nuke them.
	And then you get Lindsay Wacko.
	We're just with you.
	If the intelligence agencies were even halfway honest, and I don't believe they are, I believe that the American people would absolutely come apart, it seems, and I'm on record as you are, Mike. I do not...
	What's the word I want?
	I don't sanction.
	I'm not in favor of the...
	I mean, who in the right mind could sanction or even agree to the slaughter of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza?
	Who in the right mind can go for that?
	And I'll tell you what, if you don't speak out against that, that's coming to you.
	And because, again, life is precious.
	I believe life is creating the image and likeness of God.
	But why is somebody...
	So many, so willing to destroy that, either in the womb or basically now.
	Hey, guess what?
	Today we're serving female bodyoids, you know, because they've gotten hormone enhancement.
	I'm not kidding.
	That's in play.
	Oh, that's insane.
	I want to bring it back to the financial issue, but since you brought up Israel and the Middle East, it's worth noting that if the dollar system breaks, Israel's done.
	Okay? Israel's gone.
	Because the only thing holding back Turkey, Egypt, Lebanon, even Iran, all these other countries that really, really want to destroy Israel, the only thing holding them back is U.S. bombs and U.S. money to Israel, and some military intelligence, satellite intelligence targeting, and the U.S. naval fleet in the region.
	That's the only thing holding them back.
	When the dollar collapses, Let's say it breaks.
	Like the Soviet Union in 1991.
	Boom. You wake up one day.
	It's done.
	They can't pay salaries.
	They can't pay soldiers.
	No bank in the world accepts their currency.
	This kind of immediate collapse can be triggered.
	It's like an avalanche being triggered.
	Israel will not survive that if that happens.
	I just want to be clear.
	Israel will be overrun within days by those nations I just mentioned, including Turkey.
	So what Trump is actually doing, it's weird because Trump is a puppet of the Zionists because they gave him so much money, but he's putting the dollar on a course that will destroy Israel.
	You see what I mean?
	Well, sure.
	And listen, that's when I talk about the octopian, as in an octopus, nature of those who try and have their fingers or their tentacles.
	And remember, what do all tentacles do on an octopus?
	They suck.
	They hold.
	And they ultimately destroy that which their tentacles hold to.
	Ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking at April 4th.
	in 11 days, Russia will formalize its mutual defense treaty with Iran.
	With Iran, it will basically state any attack Again, Iran has...
	The most sophisticated Russian phase array radar surrounding our whole country.
	There's nothing stealth that can get through.
	And there's nothing in Israel's armament or in the United States' armament.
	This isn't a political statement that's anywhere hypersonic whatsoever.
	So I'm saying this, Mike.
	I think that the war that's coming in that part of the country will be decided in under 30 minutes.
	In probably less than 12 minutes, okay?
	Because we're talking about very sophisticated weapons.
	The Iranians are not the same as the Houthis.
	Which, by the way, the Houthis are interesting because they're inventing and they're manufacturing their own hypersonic stuff with help, obviously, from Iran.
	But, ladies and gentlemen, we're not in Kansas anymore.
	This is not post-World War II.
	This is World War III.
	The big question, I've asked you this before, so I know your answer, but I just want to confirm with you.
	You and I both believe that Iran has nuclear weapons, correct?
	Absolutely. And, I mean, my understanding has been that they just don't have the warheads on the ICBMs, but they have them.
	Ten floors underground in the deep mountains of western Iran, and they can just put them together in a few hours and launch them, right?
	Well, yeah, and here's the thing.
	It's believed.
	It's believed.
	I've never seen such, and I would say this, intentional intelligence failure as when the Russian Poseidon nuclear torpedo drones were first announced, the Pentagon, with a G-O-N-E on it, didn't believe it, okay?
	And what was interesting, the British did, because the Russians said, look, we've got our Basic, our Poseidons can stay dormant with 100 megaton warheads off your shores.
	And the British, I remember watching some of the air sites that were showing the British aircraft looking for them.
	And if you took three of them on the west coast of the United States, three of them on the east coast, and a couple in the Gulf of Mexico, and these things are capable of generating 1,500 vehicles.
	I think that instead of threatening Russia with nuclear war, and listen, we watch the morons in NATO, okay?
	In my opinion, they're morons.
	For Britain to say we're going to nuke Russia, what are you going to do with that?
	Are you going to do it with submarine crews that don't even have enough food to float their boat?
	Britain's a joke.
	Yeah, and then Macron, I think I brought it up earlier, he's saying by 2035, you don't have that long, boys, because you're saying right now you're going to put troops into Ukraine.
	Russia's saying right now, go ahead, but we're telling you when your troops and your military materials show up.
	They're fair targets.
	And I want everyone to pay attention to images.
	This is really critical, Mike.
	When the Ayatollah Khomeini was seen holding a rifle, Al Turner put it up.
	Kudos to him.
	And I mean this.
	It was a Dragunov sniper rifle.
	And that's not just an archaic weapon.
	And when he was saying in that, he was giving a heads up to the in-country beating USA sniper teams get ready.
	When President Putin puts on special forces, Russian special forces camouflage, he's saying, get ready.
	Ladies and gentlemen, there's nobody who can even begin to hold their intelligence, meaning in the intelligence world, including the military intelligence, they absolutely have dismissed without any action.
	Active intelligence saying, well, that stuff, we can't do it, so they can't do it.
	Oh, really?
	The reason Russia can field new jets within a year, or their bomber lines are full-time, by the way, everything that we used to do, China adopted, mass production, Russia adopted, mass production, and Iran is one of the most powerful companies.
	Listen, I got in a lot of trouble.
	Seems like, you know, I'm not proud of it, but I did.
	Because I was sticking on the fact that Iran had nuclear missiles, nuclear missiles, nuclear missiles.
	And, you know, during the day of Pakistan and Dr. Khan, the head scientist behind KHAN, the entire Pakistani nuclear weapons development program, he would sell anything to anybody, especially they had to be Muslim nations, that would promise to use it against the USA.
	Wow. Seriously, Mike, there was an associated article that was put out.
	I copied it.
	I put it on one of my podcast broadcasts, and within three hours, fortunately I had the hard copy, and it showed a nuclear detonation in Iran.
	There's a difference between a seismogram of a nuclear weapon and the seismogram of an earthquake.
	A seismic signature.
	There's a difference between a P wave, pressure wave, and an S wave, sinusoidal.
	That just means basically a fancy term for a vertical wave versus a horizontal wave.
	But in essence, they were so afraid of that.
	So I can say this.
	Why would anybody listen to pathological liars?
	Why has the West been so...
	Can you say this?
	Either complicit, or I don't believe they can be that dumb, but maybe I'm wrong.
	So, yeah, the West has proven, since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Minsk agreements, the West has proven to be an unscrupulous, unreliable partner in any agreement.
	This is why Putin right now is very resistant to trusting the U.S. on anything.
	This is why Putin is saying...
	Ukraine has to basically surrender before we stop.
	Because Putin is not going to agree to, like, oh, we'll have a ceasefire because you'll keep your word.
	He knows the U.S. is not going to keep their word.
	The U.S. never keeps its word.
	Steve, I want to even say that strategically, it is in the interests...
	Of both Iran and Russia, and I'm not advocating this, I'm not rooting for it, I'm not calling for it, just to be clear.
	I'm saying strategically, from their point of view, it would make sense to initiate a nuclear first strike on Diego Garcia and take out all the B-2 stealth bombers that are parked in the hangars there, or even a non-nuclear strike.
	The Oreshnik missile system, or the thermobaric warheads that can be put on the ICBMs, Russia can reach.
	Diego Garcia, obviously.
	With all kinds of missiles they have.
	Thousands of them.
	They can take out a third of the U.S. stealth bomber inventory in one detonation and kill like 5,000 soldiers there, which again, I don't want to see this happen.
	But that would send a message to stop messing with Iran.
	And Steve, it seems to me like the U.S. is forcing Russia and China Into a first strike corner, you know, like, it's like the U.S. is trying to, like, what the U.S. did to Japan in World War II, to force them to strike Pearl Harbor with the naval blockade on Japan.
	That's what it seems like we're watching to me.
	Well, I believe it isn't seems like, I believe it is, okay?
	Because again, Mike, the madness Of the United States leadership.
	Look, we've got problems on the border, the southern border, and we're not talking about narco-terrorist gangs that just have a few machine guns and probably some bombs and homemade armored vehicles, but with the money that those...
	It's not right to call them gangs.
	They're now armies.
	And with all of the money, people I know are saying, guess where a lot of the money went?
	I said, how much money?
	He said, oh, billions of dollars of U.S. material that's on the black market.
	And they can pay, the gangs, the narco-terrorist gangs can pay cash, drugs, or gold.
	And so what I think everyone's got to understand, there's nothing in the U.S. that we can do.
	And look, I don't want to see an Alamo redo, but I'm trying to tell some people, listen, go to your sheriffs and tell them what's going on, because Texas has some good sheriffs and it has some bad sheriffs.
	But when these guys come across a border, the reason we moved an aircraft carrier, You know, actually off the Baja coast that could even begin to have any fire, but guess what?
	surface to ship missiles.
	So in essence, they can buy and Iran's noted for anti-ship missiles in the world.
	So, Mike, not only are the B-2 bombers and Diego Garcia sitting ducks, but imagine the horror, and I don't want war.
	I hate it.
	I'm trying to do everything I can.
	Stop it?
	That smartass is saying to me, well, you can't stop it.
	I said, no, but I'm going to do everything I can to try and tell the West, look, your guys are going insane.
	And in essence, you know, 250 million Americans are at risk.
	And I think it's critical that people understand.
	The chemtrails that are falling, they're being reconstituted, and no one, you know this, has any clue of what frequency generation a lot of the cell towers may contain that can activate the,
	it only takes one day to change the chemical compound in chemtrail sprays, but what is the electromagnetic signature due to whatever is in the, in essence, what's It's a binary electromagnetic weapon with chemical fallout.
	I mean, you could probably say it clearer than I, but I'm just saying, you know, listen everyone, I believe, and this is what I believe with all my heart, that we have been warned, that God in his mercy has given us better than two decades to come to our senses, and that the sharks smell blood in the water, but we're the ones provoking the war.
	So somebody said this, this is...
	A really important statement.
	I think it's one of the most important I could say.
	The reason they want this global nuclear holocaust is as the grand sacrifice to Satan to bring on the New World Order, because you can't look at the world of the cult and not see blood sacrifice, blood sacrifice.
	So, Mike, that's why.
	And Western Europe is going to be the worst.
	Pick up your signal phone.
	I just sent you an image, a microscope image that I took yesterday.
	And let me know when you can see it.
	And this image is...
	I can see it right now.
	Okay. So this is about a 2000X magnification.
	This is from a plastic sheet, which was a tarp over some tomato plants.
	And this was in Florida, near West Palm Beach.
	And it was just collecting things that fall out of the sky.
	That's exactly what this is.
	And I've got some others I can send you here as well to show you what this is.
	But that image right there, doesn't that look like circuitry?
	Yeah, I mean, it actually looks like, you know, a microprocessor with some of the intersecting, the diagonals being intercepted by the right hand.
	And I think you should put this up.
	Obviously, this is audio, but you can edit this in.
	Yeah, we're going to put this in.
	Yeah, we'll put this in the video.
	But my point is that, you know, I've done a lot of microscopy.
	I've done a lot of lab tests.
	You normally don't see these kinds of patterns of parallel lines and 90 degree intersecting.
	You know, circuitry type of patterns.
	You don't normally see this in nature.
	You see, you know, organic shapes, right?
	You see fractals, but that's not what this looks like.
	You see crystals, but those are odd angles, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, you know, 60 degrees, you know, different kinds of like sodium chloride, salt, right?
	It looks totally different than this.
	This looks like a fragment of something that is circuitry-like.
	And then on top of this, Steve, falling out of the sky, we've got conductive metals, high levels of aluminum, plus copper.
	Those two right there, those are what's used in all the wiring of everything.
	And why am I seeing 45,000 parts per billion of copper falling on this sheet and millions of parts per billion of aluminum falling out of the sky, plus lead, plus nickel, other heavy metals, cadmium. How about barium?
	Are you using much barium?
	Unfortunately, we don't have barium in our external standards for our ICP test right now.
	Okay, I gotcha.
	We could look at a semi-quant analysis without using a standard, but it wouldn't be nearly as reliable.
	That's a good point.
	I'm going to ask my tech to give me the semi-quant report for barium, but what we do see is crazy looking.
	And it indicates to me that we are under attack.
	And let me pivot a little bit.
	The other thing I want to say, Steve, is the reason China has been afraid to go to war with the U.S. previously is because they didn't want to compromise their trade with the U.S., their exports.
	And they depend on their exports in order to enrich their entire economy.
	With Trump putting 50% tariffs on China's exports and China now retaliating with 34% tariffs, the incentive to not go to war is now much lower, right?
	The bar is lower.
	China's like, well, at some point, we're going to have to fight the U.S. anyway because our trade is screwed one way or another.
	So, might as well.
	It's kind of the thinking.
	So, my question to you, Steve, is aren't these terrorists, as much as they may be necessary, aren't they also pushing China and Russia into kind of a, you know, it's time to attack stance?
	Oh, yeah.
	And, you know, how do I say this?
	You always attack when you're weakest.
	Now, President Putin has, I've got to tell you something, real strength Doesn't go around saying, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.
	He has measured responses.
	And one of the things that really infuriates me is the fact that people don't recognize true power doesn't be pushing and say, I'm going to beat you over a club.
	You do not have dialogue by threat.
	And by the way, I am not a pacifist.
	I want people to understand.
	Stand that.
	Whatsoever am I a pacifist.
	I do not believe in the appeasement, but I believe in dialogue.
	And you brought up a very important point.
	Why would anybody trust the United States?
	Look, I love my country that was.
	I don't recognize it and what it's become.
	But why would you trust somebody, even the Russians that showed good faith?
	And we broke every agreement, by the way, every agreement and treaty that we've had with Russia for 200 years.
	I mean, it went back that far, but they do.
	And then you get President Putin saying, look, I want a level playing field.
	Commodities agreed to, a bag of wheat is worth so much, a bushel of corn, or an ounce of gold, an ounce of silver.
	And ladies and gentlemen, you know, we...
	...are showing the world pretty much that we're naked and there's no room to go around with a club.
	And for the record, when you see that all the amount of pharmaceuticals, and by the way, Mike, I now call those pharmaceuticals, okay?
	You see the amount of pharmaceuticals that are coming into this country from China, I think it's 80%.
	I think it's right around 80%.
	And the Chinese are saying, guess what?
	We're going to put triple tariffs on all of the medicines.
	Oh, yeah.
	Medical bills are high now, but then shortages are designed for one purpose, to kill off specific segments of the population.
	Let me give you a good example.
	During COVID, everybody that died in a hospital, it didn't have to be COVID.
	Putting COVID on it because the U.S. government was paying, what, $39,000 for anybody that got remdesivir, or death is near, I like that name, and put on a ventilator.
	Almost everybody that was vented died.
	So, ladies and gentlemen, this is important.
	Yeah, I just wanted to add that some of the California hospitals received incentives up to half a million dollars for every death that they induced.
	Wow. Yeah, I interviewed some of the attorneys suing them.
	So, yeah, it was the government was paying assassins in the medical industry.
	I mean, and they turn the nurses and doctors into assassins, essentially, just killing everything.
	And by the way, I have a new word for you.
	Instead of chemtrails, I'm calling them kill trails, because it's clear to me now what they are dropping out of the chemtrails.
	It's a kill vector.
	And it's just one of them.
	It's one of many vectors.
	Now, Steve, we're already well over an hour, and I always want to make sure that we give people practical solutions.
	So let's pivot here for just a few minutes before we wrap this up and talk to people about how they can survive this or defend themselves against all, or how they can be ready if nuclear war does break out.
	Well, first of all, the power grid can be taken down with 12 strategically placed normal high explosives.
	C4, any of the military-grade high explosives.
	And guess where all the replacement transformers and all the switches come from?
	China. Yeah, exactly.
	Next thing is, you're going to have to have a portable water filter.
	By the way, I don't sell them.
	Do you sell them, like the Berkeys and stuff?
	Well, we do sell some, but...
	There's been a supply shortage problem for a long time.
	And I want to make sure people understand there's a difference between a purifier and a water filter.
	You want something like Catadyne or you want something like Pure.
	And you want to make sure that it takes out not just, you know, large-sized bacteria, but viruses.
	Next thing, you have to get an alternate form of communication to be able to find out what's going on.
	And our mutual sponsor, Sat123.com, look into their special.
	They give you the Starlink updates.
	Not only the updates, but the equipment.
	They handle the whole thing for you from start to finish.
	If that's something out of your, you know, basically wanting to embrace, then go to the sat phone, sat123.com, because you can't be tracked, whacked, and stacked.
	That means you can't hold men.
	If everybody knew how many people have been destroyed because they just didn't want to be without their cell phone, then they'd understand that a satellite phone.
	And what we're trying to get people to recognize Recognize is that when you have communication, you're going to need power.
	And so the Echo Flow system, and I have three of them in my office, that's where I'm speaking to you from right now, backing up.
	The most important things that I have in my office.
	And if you don't have power, ladies and gentlemen, it's an instant you return to 1880.
	And most of us haven't read the books about how the pioneers existed in 1880.
	The most important thing for a power unit, which is a power reserve, a battery compartment of multiple batteries and the ability to recharge off of your...
	Any way you want to charge it.
	Specifically, the packages that satellite phone store sells have a marvelous price point with even the solar panels.
	And then I think it's critical that if you think because you're a nice person, bad people will leave you alone.
	You better rethink that through.
	There's nothing in the Bible that says you can't defend yourself.
	Peter, when he cut off the ear...
	When they came to betray they, the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees sent their, quote, guards.
	Peter didn't bite the ear off of the guy.
	He cut it off with a sword.
	And Jesus told Peter, put it away.
	And he healed the guy.
	And Paul talked about fighting with robbers.
	So there are people that take he who lives by the sword will die by the sword.
	I'm just going to tell you what that means.
	He who lives by a sword at that time in history, true today, mercenaries.
	Mercenaries live by the sword.
	And how many mercenaries are we hearing in the West that are getting whacked, killed in Ukraine?
	A lot of them.
	So it's important that people...
	The number one thing to keep under refrigeration or under your freezer is, I'm sorry, the food.
	Your food is the most expensive, irreplaceable commodity that anybody has in America now because if you understand what the powers that be are doing to make sure you cannot resupply your fridge or your freezer, you will make any effort to protect And you've got to understand, you don't just keep opening it like going to the fridge for a snack.
	You've got to be disciplined, and you need to know what you have in your pantry.
	I've talked to people, and I've even done it in my pantry.
	Well, so that's where that...
	A jar of almond butter went, you know?
	Yeah, I'm not orderly, but here's the thing.
	I want everyone to understand.
	You must have some silver, which is now, you know, inexpensive to be able to barter with.
	Bartering with silver doesn't, you don't have to, you know, have a wagon load of this or that.
	And I would tell everybody, most people think, well, I'm going to barter with whiskey and cigarettes.
	The two worst things you can barter with, because number one, Anybody who is, let's face it, an alcoholic, anybody who can't break...
	Smoking habit.
	They're going to think where there's one, hey, there's another.
	So, it's the stupidest thing, in my opinion.
	Look, I've been in the survival business.
	You know this.
	And you've got to have food.
	You have to have, and this is what I'm saying, contact Mike.
	You've got to have supplements that aren't killing you softly, one swallow at a time.
	And if you want to call me...
	Yeah, let me just say this.
	I've been to Precious Metals for four decades, and you can go to stevequayle.com Renaissance Precious Metals or Renaissance Metals is at the top, and my son Tyler and I, we contact people, you know, even over the weekends, because I think, Mike, we're going to be surprised at what happens through the weekend and over the weekend, and I think you're going to see panic next week, and it may start...
	It may start.
	So, again, don't be where everybody else is.
	You've got to understand that because you're a nice person that everyone else is nice.
	You cannot take that for granted.
	You pray for discernment.
	You ask the living God to keep you from all evil and keep you out of harm's way.
	The Bible's filled with people who are delivered because they simply prayed.
	The bottom line, on a practical note for our audience here, is, of course, you want to be fully prepared for disruptions.
	And this is going to be something bigger than the COVID shock to the global supply chain.
	And remember, China has just announced retaliatory tariffs against the US.
	Trump's probably going to respond by saying, okay.
	We're going to double our tariffs on China.
	We're going to go to 100% or 120%.
	And then China will say, well, we'll go to 100%.
	This is going to be ugly for a long time.
	What it means is that you won't be able to get stuff.
	And fortunately, most of our audience listening, they are prepared at some level.
	Some are well prepared.
	And so maybe some people listening don't need anything else.
	But you do need to check your supplies.
	Check your food.
	And by the way, good news, everything that you buy from us at HealthRangerStore.com, we test everything for heavy metals.
	We do the glyphosate test.
	We do the E. coli salmonella testing, right?
	So we know that our food is clean.
	And we have all the lab tests to prove it.
	And that's why we have the equipment to run these tests on the chemtrail samples, because we own all that mass spec equipment, you know, which is not cheap.
	But, you know, check your supplies, okay?
	Backup comms, if you don't yet have a satellite phone or you don't have a Starlink system or you don't have a solar generator, now is a great time to do that.
	Also, because, if you think about it, a lot of solar generator equipment is made in China.
	So it's going to get hit by tariffs coming in, which means the equipment that's available right now, that's already in the U.S. right now, is the cheapest it's ever going to be.
	The satellite phone store, SAT123, they've got offices in California and Florida.
	They've got inventory.
	That inventory is going to vanish probably pretty soon.
	Give them a call now.
	SAT123. It's all going to vanish.
	Ladies and gentlemen, this is what everyone's got to understand.
	It's not a question of taking your time anymore, because you're fighting for time now.
	You're fighting for, and literally, FedEx and UPS, man, they're raising their prices, and if you don't, I don't know if this is true with you guys, but in Montana, we get a UPS bill, we have to transfer the ACH, whatever the bill amount is, we have to transfer it in so many days, or they won't pick up, or they won't deliver.
	Right. Yeah, that's right.
	Part of what's happening to the supply chain is that all the vendors are requiring prepayment for most things.
	We've seen this.
	Like a lot of places that used to give us terms.
	And even though we're a good company, we always pay on time.
	Even so, they change their terms and say, nope, prepayment only.
	So Steve, I'm telling you, there are cases where we've had to transfer to a vendor like a quarter of a million dollars.
	And wait for four months to get the materials.
	So we are on the line, right?
	We stick our necks out, and if they go bankrupt, we're screwed.
	But this is the only way to get a lot of food materials and supplement materials, right?
	The supply chains are breaking down badly.
	Can I tell you something?
	It's not only breaking down, that's bad enough.
	But there's nothing to supply the chains with, meaning the supply chain.
	In other words, goods.
	They're not coming in.
	There's a boycott and the food that everybody needs is disappearing due to the intentional taking it out of the American diet.
	And so this isn't like 9-11, Mike.
	And I'm just telling everybody, I mean, when they hear this podcast broadcast, if you've got an ATM machine, go and get a couple extra hundred bucks.
	If you've got a chance to get some more...
	Food. That doesn't require refrigeration.
	Then use your head, because ladies and gentlemen, it's all going to disappear.
	It used to be we had selection.
	That word selection will no longer exist.
	It will be whatever is available at whatever price.
	Let me bring in something that is breaking now.
	That Hal Turner is reporting while we're talking also that Zelensky in Ukraine is now boasting that the French military is going to be the first military in Ukraine to fight Russia.
	Now, so if Russia, I mean, Russia is going to, how can Russia not just bomb the smithereens out of all these troop transports?
	Coming into Ukraine.
	You send 10,000 French soldiers, you better send 10,000 coffins and body bags.
	The minute they enter Ukraine, I mean, I don't think Russia will bomb them in France, but the minute they enter Ukraine, they're going to be targeted and they're going to be exterminated.
	There's no question.
	Well, and this is important, the word existential threat.
	You've got all of NATO saying, we're going to do this, we're going to do that.
	They break their rules, and I'm telling you point blank, nobody's fighting for family rights, and this is the truth.
	I'm not a Russian agent.
	I'm just telling people, when somebody does that which is right in the sight of the living God, God blesses them.
	And this is what's important for everyone to understand.
	$74 trillion in Russia, 25% of the world's fresh water in Russia.
	They have record yields.
	But the reason being is he said...
	Marriage, one man, one woman.
	He's encouraging his people to have children.
	He even gives us stipends.
	But the other thing is, he is absolutely, you know, he's Orthodox.
	He's Russian Orthodox.
	He's not a communist.
	I want to leave this with everybody.
	You know where the majority of communists are?
	They're not in Russia.
	They're in the United States.
	And you may see them playing their hand tomorrow, which is Saturday, and they're saying, I'm not saying this to scare you,
	but they basically are leaving messages.
	We know where you're at.
	And we know who you voted for.
	So what they're doing now is intimidating people.
	Ladies and gentlemen, they who intimidate will ultimately drop the hammer.
	That's another word for pulling the trigger on you.
	You better understand now, this is not the United States of America.
	This is the disunited states of what used to be America.
	Jesus said, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
	Man, it's weird because all of the years that we could have been preparing to fight Russia, and I'm not for that, or to protect ourselves against China, this The steel dossier was developed so that the U.S. and Russia wouldn't come to an agreement, an economic agreement,
	and what's important, in order to cover up They're Chinese ties, meaning politicians, meaning military.
	I mean, you know, I won't tell you who, but one of the big mucky mucks that isn't a fan of Trump or Trump a fan of him, when you hear that these guys are getting million-dollar payoffs, well, prove it.
	Well, I can tell you this, I can't prove it because I don't have access to the forensic exams of different bank transfers, but I know bank people that can do it.
	So what I'm really saying to everyone, and you're saying to everyone, look, we don't know the exact timing, you know?
	And here's something that just came in.
	This is the last thing that you call the shots on time, but I just got word Iran has more than 1,000 hypersonic missiles.
	No, no, I did not see that.
	That means you can kiss a U.S. aircraft carrier goodbye.
	They said this, and ready to strike Israel.
	Now remember, Iran does have interregional ballistic missiles.
	It doesn't matter.
	Do you really want to listen to people that have lied to you all along the way and then trust them with your life?
	I don't think so.
	And Iran said, if we are attacked, every base...
	Every U.S. military base in Western Europe is targeted by us.
	Oh, I'm glad you mentioned that.
	Let me bring in the stats on that because I was researching that recently.
	There are over 55,000 U.S. troops stationed in the region that are all within reach of Iranian missiles.
	So we're talking like potentially close to Vietnam level casualties.
	Talk about...
	You know, bringing home tens of thousands of dead U.S. soldiers.
	You know, I mean, it's horrifying, but this is what Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump are pushing us into with this brazen arrogance.
	Like, Steve, there's not even any legal right for the U.S. to bomb Iran at all.
	I mean, there's no basis for it.
	None! And so, listen, when everybody's Crazy, in my opinion, that wants to start a fight with someone that outguns you.
	I mean, this is like going to the gunfight, and you're going with rubber bands, and they're coming with Gatling guns.
	I mean, it is foolish to do this.
	And the only reason they're doing it, Mike, is to destroy the West.
	Sovereignty and national identity to make us all be vacuum-cleaned in the global New World Order.
	So people, you've got to understand, they are not your friends, and we're fighting for God and country.
	No, you're not, because in essence...
	I don't believe, Mike, if we have the kind of casualties, I don't believe those men will be brought back, or women.
	They'll be left there because there will be no transport planes, certainly not body bags, and no one can tell how bad this is going to be.
	I'll stand on this.
	The battle will be decided within the first 10-12 minutes.
	It'll be over in a couple hours, and the terms of surrender, I'm told.
	...are already unknown to the West, and we in the West are aware of this, and so the globalists, the Satanists, the Luciferians, and the DEI people, I say this, forget DEI, turn the letters around and it's die, you know?
	So it's important for us to get everyone.
	Go to your ATM machines.
	This is the other thing.
	On Monday, go to your local coin stores.
	If you want to deal with somebody over the weekend, I'm more than happy to help you, or Tyler, my son, but we have minimum orders.
	And just now, I'm reading an email from one of my clients.
	He sent me some silver.
	We bought it back from him.
	Very astute man.
	10 days.
	10 days!
	Wow. So I'm telling everybody, Bozeman, Montana, but it's not just Bozeman, Montana.
	I believe the...
	And I can prove it.
	The U.S. Post Office is intentionally interrupting the flow of mail.
	The only way that you can even count on anything is express mail, but it's becoming so problematic that for people, if you want something from sat123.com, I would basically even call them today or email them because...
	They can't have infinite stock, but they've got enough stock.
	I'm sorry, but it's first in, first out.
	I've never seen a store, and this is important, Mike, that is so accommodating so quickly.
	Sure, they've got problems too, but thank you for this day.
	I pray safety over you.
	I'm grateful for you because you're teaching America don't eat.
	And don't die a spoonful at a time, you know?
	Yeah, 100%.
	And Steve, I really want to thank you for your time.
	And let me mention your website, stevequayle.com.
	And you're able to help people with gold and silver purchases as well.
	My store is healthrangerstore.com where you can get all the clean food and many preparedness items.
	But look, the bottom line for people is To now expect things to get much, much worse.
	There was a honeymoon period after Trump was sworn in where even I was a lot more optimistic.
	But Trump has followed the Zionist lead here into World War III.
	And now, Steve, I believe that Trump actually wants or needs a big war to explain away the financial collapse.
	That is unavoidable, right?
	You're correct.
	You're correct.
	History is on your side of that statement.
	Yes, they always need war.
	They always take you to war.
	Even Salenti says it, right?
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	And that's exactly what's happening right now.
	They want the war.
	They need the war.
	So Trump's going to initiate this.
	Israel's going to cheer and clap.
	And tens of thousands of US soldiers are probably going to get bombed all over the Middle East and Kuwait and Iraq and where all the bases are all over.
	And then the American people are going to scream, oh, we have to nuke Iran.
	And then Russia is going to say, well, we might as well just nuke all of Europe at this point.
	Right? They've already said that.
	And the U.S. Any nation that supplies men and war material into the Ukraine and this is, listen, the Russians say what they mean and mean what they say.
	We're no longer in a propaganda phase.
	We're in the implementation phase.
	And I've learned this.
	If anybody has shown absolute restraint due to all the BS attacks on President Putin.
	Look, these are really, really, how should I say, smart, intelligent adults.
	But, you know, I think it was, oh, good night, their Secretary of State, who was I thinking, Lavrov, that said, yeah, you're like a group of children in a sandbox playing with gasoline and matches.
	Right, totally.
	Yeah. So, ladies and gentlemen, you can't do anything about things that you have no control over, but you'd better take responsibility for that which you do have control over, and you'd better forget, well, you know, I hope World War III doesn't come because I'm on a cruise.
	I'm going to the Caribbean.
	I said, well, don't worry about it because they'll all be underwater, the islands.
	I think it's...
	Critical that people think, because everybody takes everything for granted.
	I'm going to say this, and I mean it.
	you're only going to be able to keep, whether it's your freedom, whether it's your faith, whether it's your food, if you're willing to die for it.
	That's what's important.
	Because again, ladies and gentlemen, said, there's never been a time like this nor will be again.
	And if God the Father didn't shorten the days for the elect who are the believers in Jesus, there'd be no human beings left alive.
	So when Mike talks about Trying to kill photosynthesis, which you did at one of the conferences.
	I still consider that a hallmark statement.
	They are trying to destroy under Lucifer's control and command.
	Everything that God created.
	From animals to plants to people.
	Everything. The skies.
	If people don't realize what's going on in the skies, then they're certainly not going to recognize when they start to die of such horrible...
	This is not a metaphor for, you know, it could get really rough, but I'm sure we've come out of it before.
	That's when we had a cohesive nation.
	We had a faith.
	At least acknowledge the living God.
	Now we're at war with the living God.
	And Mike...
	I got news for you.
	That doesn't make much sense to me, especially when God historically raises up nations to punish wicked nations.
	Look, I write about all the stuff that goes on in ancient history, and I don't know any civilization that, I mean, sure, the Malakians and even the Philistines, they had issues.
	I mean, they sacrificed children.
	But we are cold-blooded mutilants, okay?
	America has turned in, that's one of my words, turned in to the land of mutilation.
	And so guess what, everyone?
	If you think this is extreme, just wait until you go into a supermarket or a government market, and there they've got nice human bodies without heads, like you would see a chicken to buy.
	That's what they're proposing, and shame on us if we don't speak out, speak up, and stand up for freedom.
	And when I use freedom, I'm talking about not voting politically for this or that.
	Politics cannot do for you and I. I don't believe at any time, but we're out of time, Mike.
	I know we're out of time even on this podcast, so thank you again.
	Yeah, thank you, Steve.
	Yeah, we are out of time.
	Thanks for staying over, and to our audience, just want to urge you again, be prepared, have the proper mindset.
	We are in a red alert posture right now.
	For example, I'm going to go through several of my rifles.
	This weekend, I need to disassemble them, take the BCGs out of the ARs, and I've got to put them...
	I have this ultrasonic lubrication tank for long rifles.
	I'm going to re-lubricate, dry them off, reassemble, test fire, check the red dot sights, swap out batteries, all that stuff.
	That's what I'm going to do this weekend.
	I got the.308 rifle, I got the AR, long rifle, I got the AR short with the arm brace, I got the nighttime rifle with the thermal, you know.
	I got a few rifles to deal with here, right?
	But this is how seriously I'm taking this.
	I mean, all those rifles work, but I should probably clean them again, just to make sure.
	And by the way, I use the non-stick bolt carrier groups.
	I always swap them out with the high-end, like the Teflon-coated nickel-boron bolt carrier groups you know I'm talking about, Steve?
	Yes, of course.
	I used to, you know, have a firearm store and indoor tuning ranges, so I'm quite familiar with the terms you're using.
	There you go, right.
	So, I don't run any rifles with the stock BCGs.
	You know, with the blued metal, I always put the non-stick in there, because I use, like, I prefer direct impingement rifles.
	They're just simpler, and they get dirty.
	So... If I'm in a fight for self-defense, and this is only for self-defense folks, obviously I don't agree with going out and initiating anything.
	I say stay away from the crowd.
	Stay away from the protest.
	I'm talking about defending your property, defending your family, defending your life.
	But if I'm in a defense mode, I don't want to have a jam.
	So I'm going to check the BCGs.
	I'm going to lube them.
	I'm going to check all the mags.
	I load them all at 28 rounds.
	I don't load 30 rounds because I've had that problem before where it won't peel off the top round because they're too damn tight.
	So 28 rounds, one in the chamber, non-stick BCGs, multiple ARs, different setups, and there you go.
	If people come to my door, they are lost and they are toast if they're...
	If they're threatening me.
	I'll put it that way.
	It's ventilation time.
	Yep. You call them walking air-conditioned entities.
	Yeah. And I'm not talking about cracking a window for ventilation, either.
	Yeah, I gotcha.
	And look, this is practical.
	You know, there's so many rumors out there.
	But tomorrow, I think, is going to show the level.
	Because if it doesn't go ballistic, pun intended, then I think people understand that they're waiting for something more to have.
	And when people understand that the abomination of desolation, the former president named Obama...
	Which wasn't his real name anyway.
	But the amount of weapons and bullets.
	That was public knowledge.
	He made the statement he wanted in essence a civilian army equal to the military.
	You remember that?
	Yeah, I do remember him saying that.
	Guess where all those weapons and guess where all that ammo went by?
	Billions and billions of rounds.
	I know where a lot of that went.
	And so do I. And it's important that everyone understand that even the plans go as far as releasing certain populations in prisons by attacking the prisons.
	I know nobody in the...
	I don't know anybody, by the way.
	I don't mean to sound like I know anybody, but in that world of the Bureau of Prisons, they're not set up for an attack from the outside because it's going to be worse than the movie The Stand.
	And that's going to be really...
	How should I say this?
	That's when all of your...
	Well, I hope it...
	Listen, hope fades when reality basically comes to your front door.
	And the roar of war is on our shore.
	Again, thank you for everything you've done.
	All right.
	You too, Steve.
	Be well.
	God bless you.
	Thank you for all that you're doing.
	And to our audience, thank you for...
	For the patients listening in on this extended interview, be safe.
	Don't escalate violence.
	Avoid crowds.
	Avoid protests.
	Protect yourself, your property, your family, your supplies, and pray for America and pray for peace.
	All right.
	Thank you for listening.
