Time Text
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Alright, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Thursday, April 17th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams, and pardon my voice, I was practically in tears watching the music video for a song called All Our Dreams Come True that we're about to release probably in a week or so.
It's a song that I played for my local congressman.
When he joined me in studio.
And he was really blown away by the song.
And I was just watching the music video.
I was brought to tears, really, by the emotional scenes.
And this is something that you are going to...
This is more than just...
It's not satire.
It's not parody.
This is the most powerful song message that I've ever done.
And it's on the verge of being...
Anyway, it's called All Our Dreams Come True.
I think I played some of it, some of the song, for you previously here.
But with the music video, it's way more powerful.
Now, today we're going to be talking about food.
Something astonishing.
So, in 2014, I went out and I purchased a lot of food from all the fast food restaurants I could find.
I purchased all the McDonald's stuff, you know, chicken McNuggets and French fries, Big Mac, fish filet.
Oh boy.
And I went to Burger King and I went to, I don't know, I went to Taco Bell I think.
I went to a bunch of these fast food restaurants and I just, I bought their food and I just put it in these storage containers.
And that was 11 years ago.
And I labeled them all and I called it my fast food Museum.
And over the years, every once in a while, somebody would see it.
Like, what do you do with all this food in all these containers?
What is that?
Like, that's my fast food museum.
One day I'm going to show people.
Well, that day is today, it turns out.
You are about to see the fast food museum, 11-year-old fast food that looks basically identical to the day I bought it, essentially.
I mean, it's...
It's dried out, but none of it molded.
Okay? None of it molded.
Now, think about this because yesterday I showed you a video from the fallout, you know, the chemtrails fallout from Dr. Jane Ruby, the sample that she sent me.
And just the stuff falling out of the sky grows mold.
You know, that's all moldy.
At least we showed that a couple of chunks of mold are growing, right?
So that's moldy.
But this so-called food, I mean, think about it.
So the plastic, the stuff on the plastic will grow mold, but the food that I buy at the fast food restaurants will not mold, or at least it did not in my experiment.
None of it molded.
None of it rotted.
Not even, you know, the meat patties.
And I didn't even dry them.
Like, I didn't stick them in a food dehydrator.
I didn't dry them.
I didn't treat them.
I didn't do anything except stick them in these storage containers.
It's like, you know, plastic storage containers or whatever they are.
And just let them sit there for a decade.
And so that's what you're going to see.
And we'll put some of it under the microscope, kind of show you what it looks like, and just give you a look at what it is.
So that video is coming up, and it's an eye-opener for sure.
And then we're also going to feature an interview today with Marjorie Wildcraft, the food expert.
She's got a new food production course for wartime production of food and medicine during a war, which we appear to be entering.
We're in multiple types of war, so we got to talk to Marjorie Wildcraft about all the different warfare layers that are happening right now, like domestic warfare, economic warfare.
Globalist war on food, you know, engineered famine, depopulation, bioweapons, chemtrails, you name it, right?
All that's happening.
We are living in a war.
And so that interview will give you a lot of great information about how to be more self-reliant and some key things to do as you begin to grow more of your own food, which I think is really critical, very important right now to just start growing something.
And don't forget, by the way, we have the ARK seed kits available at healthrangerstore.com.
Just search for ARK, ARK, ARK seed kits.
We've got them available there if you want some.
All non-GMO, non-hybrid seeds, heirloom seeds, so that they work generation after generation, obviously, which should be the whole point.
So, you know, get yourself some seeds and grow some more food.
Now, speaking of self-reliance, I've been mentioning gold and precious metals the last few days.
Gold's been going up about $100 a day.
It's unreal.
It hit $33.50, I think, or $33.40.
I was like, are you kidding me?
$33.40?
I'm just astonished that it's over $3,000.
I mean, it's gone up so aggressively.
But really what's happening, of course, is the dollar is collapsing in real time.
And I don't think I said this quite accurately enough the other day.
So let me just repeat it here.
In my view, if you don't have off-grid assets, which would be gold and silver, land and crypto, those are the big four categories right there.
If you don't have off-grid assets, you will not just be financially wiped out.
You'll be enslaved.
Because you'll have to live on a UBI controlled by a CBDC run by a tyrannical regime that surveils and controls your finances.
In other words, owning gold and silver is not just financial freedom, it's all freedom.
It's the freedom of your life to be free from the CBDCs.
You must have off-grid money if you don't want to be subjected to the coming CBDCs All the purchase restrictions and, you know, however the regime decides to run that.
You need off-grid money.
Gold and silver are real money.
And gold isn't really skyrocketing per se.
It's just that the dollar is collapsing, and it's collapsing in real time.
And I put out a tweet on this mentioning that when I started stacking gold in the 1990s, I was paying about $300 an ounce for gold, and now it's over $3,000 an ounce, which means that the dollar lost 90% of its purchasing power since,
let's say, the mid-1990s.
So over about 30 years, it lost 90% of its purchasing power.
The dollar did.
I think the next 90% loss happens in maybe about three years.
Because things are accelerating.
And that means that the dollar today is only worth 10% of what it was worth in the 1990s compared to gold.
And I believe in another three years or so, the dollar will only be worth 10% of what it's worth today.
So many of you are skilled at math, and this isn't complicated, but what's 10% times 10%?
The answer is 1%, right?
.1 times.1 is.01, right?
And that's 1%, which means that from about the mid-1990s to about, I estimate, the year 2028, let's say, the dollar will lose 99% of its value.
That also means that I believe that in the next three years, gold is going to go up by about another 10 times.
I think we're going to see gold at $30,000 by 2028.
If not sooner.
Now these are just estimates, obviously.
I don't have a crystal ball, but these are educated estimates.
That's where I think things are going.
So dollars are going to zero.
That is a certainty.
And as they do, gold will skyrocket.
So if you want to be free, get metals, get land.
Land's actually not that liquid.
Especially, it's hard to sell when everybody's broke, you know?
But there's always buyers for gold and silver.
That's for sure.
So gold and silver are very, very liquid.
And Bitcoin is also very liquid.
Many types of crypto are pretty darn liquid as well.
And I think crypto is going to be a very strong parallel marketplace.
But one of the things that concerns me about crypto is that so much of Bitcoin is purchased with Tether.
And Tether is financed or backed by purchasing U.S. Treasuries for the most part.
And those treasuries are going to go into default, I believe.
So the dollar, the dollar printing, and the debt market of treasuries is propping up Tether, which props up Bitcoin.
So I think we can see a very strong plunge in Bitcoin at some point, 70% or 80%.
I think we'll also see a pullback on gold at some point, maybe more like 10%.
I wouldn't be surprised if gold goes from, let's say, $3,300 to $3,000.
Or something like that at some point in the next few months.
Wouldn't be surprised, but I'm not waiting around for it.
And I'm not advising you to wait for it either.
But I think Bitcoin can have a very strong retracement as the dollar collapse accelerates.
That's just my opinion.
So be cautious.
Be very cautious with your assets, obviously.
Anyway, we're going to talk to Marjorie Wildcraft coming up today.
I'm going to play the fast food museum for you.
But I've got something else to play for you.
First, and this is a new music video of my song called Doing Alright.
So this song, Doing Alright, I wrote it originally like 15 years ago or something like that, or 12 years ago.
And the music video you're about to see is like 99% done.
I'm going to go ahead and play it for you.
There's a couple little glitches.
That we'll fix before we do the official final release, but I'll play it for you here because it's really, it's a beautiful music video, and I wanted to share this with you.
So let me explain what this is before you see it.
First of all, the song, Doing Alright, was a song that I wrote during a time in my life when I was feeling very down and very disappointed about how things were going in the world.
Which is funny because things were going much better back then than they are now, but I feel more optimistic now.
Maybe it's just because I have much more knowledge about how to handle everything.
That could be.
But anyway, the song is called Doing Alright.
It's like coming out of a down period or out of darkness.
It's like, hey, we're doing alright.
We're doing alright this time.
We can make it, is the message of this song.
And it's a very spiritual, faith-based song, and it's very optimistic, and it's very deep.
In its emotional and spiritual impact, at least I hope you agree with that.
Now, I originally wrote and performed and recorded and released the song many years ago, but then with the advent of AI music and Suno, which is a really very capable AI music engine,
I like to take the songs that I wrote previously and then reproduce them.
Using today's AI vocals, which are incredibly good, and also then the instrumentation that is way beyond anything that I could produce manually by hiring musicians.
And so I use Suno to do the vocals and the instruments, and then I use complex prompting to describe, basically to engineer or to craft the song.
And then I go through hundreds and hundreds of renditions of the song, and then I do lots of editing and extensions, and I put in quite a bit of time on a song like this, which is a serious song.
Not like Trump the Tariff Sheriff, which I did that song in less than a couple hours, okay?
And you can tell, you know.
It's fun, it's funny, but it's not a serious song.
This song, Doing Alright, this is a serious song.
And it's meant to be really enjoyed.
Now, I wanted it, because I'm playing around with lots of different musical styles, as you know.
I've done several different styles already, and more coming.
I mean, I've done a country-western song, and I've done a rap and hip-hop song.
I've done the orchestral song, 20,000 Days, and so much more.
But this song, Doing Alright, what I heard in my head, It was like a Latino-style guitar riff.
And this song brought me back to my time in South America and my tours in other countries, Panama, Peru,
hiking in Machu Picchu, visiting the ancient ruins.
Ancient ruins in Mexico, ancient ruins in Ecuador, ancient ruins near Quito, all these other places that I had been in Mexico, Central and South America, where I had seen interesting things and I was always fascinated by the culture,
what I will broadly refer to as Mesoamerican culture.
So this is not strictly Mexican, it's not strictly South American or Central American.
It is Mesoamerican.
And this song is a celebration of the Mesoamerican culture.
The food, the dance, the dances that I saw when I was in Ecuador and we went to these amazing dance celebrations where the Ecuadorian men and women would dress up in these incredible floral outfits,
Incredibly colorful and intricate with these very well-rehearsed and coordinated dance moves.
And it was just a joy to behold this expression of their culture.
I was just taken aback by that.
And so for this music video, I mean, I didn't render everything in the video myself, but I...
I produced it.
So I have a team that works on these things for me, and I tell them what I want, and I give them feedback, and I tell them what to correct, and I tell them how I want it to look, and things like that.
You're going to see some scenes in this that are very specific to what I had in mind.
Some of them are montages of Mesoamerican architecture, art, and ancient drawings, by the way.
So there are some hints of ancient civilizations.
In this video as well.
On top of sort of modern Mexico and scenes of celebration.
And by the way, you're going to notice some things that aren't a perfect fit because it's an AI engine rendering this stuff.
So you're going to say sometimes, well, that dress isn't the right color.
Yeah, I know.
Sometimes it isn't.
Just don't worry about it.
Just go with the vibe.
It's an amazing vibe.
Anyway. This song, to me, has these two messages, which is that we're doing all right, and we can make it through hardship.
We can make it through difficult times.
And you and I and all of us, we actually have more resources, more knowledge available to us now than we ever did in our whole lives, not to mention 10 or 12 years ago when I first wrote this song.
And then the other thing, the other message is I want to celebrate Mesoamerican culture, which...
It has very strong influence in Texas, where I live, of course, obviously.
And, you know, the Mesoamerican culture, the Latino culture, the craftsmanship that they still exhibit is just extraordinary.
And if you ever have a chance to visit, like, Mexican artisans or artists or even, like, bricklayers, Mexican or South American people who lay bricks and build complex structures with 3D curves and domes out of mud bricks.
If you've ever watched that, you will understand that the level of craftsmanship in Mexico, Central and South America is off the charts amazing.
And these people are some of the most skilled...
Craftsmen, craftswomen, craftsmen, both, I guess, in the world.
And they do an extraordinary job, and they're outstanding leather workers, they're outstanding on saddles, you know, horse saddles, and all kinds of gear, and all kinds of expression of art, dance, and so on.
And I was, I'm really just trying to capture some of that in this music video.
So, it's called Doing Alright.
And this is not the 100% version.
This is the 99% version, but I didn't want to hold it back any longer.
So enjoy this video and we shall continue on the other side.
Do you ever feel, do you ever feel that it's too much?
It's so much, it's so hard, you can't get it right.
Do you ever wish, do you ever wish that there's something, someone to call on me?
To make it alright.
When you feel there's a load on your back now.
And your world seems under attack now.
You don't really have to take it like that.
Don't make it like that.
You can change all that now.
When you feel like it's out of control.
It's in with the new, out with the old.
You don't have to keep on doing as you're told.
Break the mold.
Turn lead into gold, you know.
Cause I'm doing alright this time.
This time.
I'm doing alright this time.
This time Yes, I'm doing alright this time I'm doing alright Oh, yeah Oh, yeah
It's another day.
It's another day.
It's a new time, a new time to do things that make you feel right.
There's a better way.
There's a better way to pursue it.
You knew it, a way to get through it this time, this time When you feel like the world don't respect you And the dumbed-down crowd, they reject you Truth is, they don't have the intellect, you were born But so the spirit could direct you Let the light shine in
and protect you Do your thing so the world won't forget you Help those who never met you, that will get you A whole new faith to connect you To the real you, so they can feel you And the whole wide world can heal with you Cause I'm doing alright
this time, this time I'm doing alright this time, this time I'm doing alright this time, I'm doing alright When you feel like it's out of control
It's in with the new, I'm with the old You don't have to keep on doing as you're told Break the mold, turn lead into gold, you know Cause I'm doing alright this time, this time I'm doin'alright this time,
this time Yes, I'm doin'alright this time, this time I'm doin'alright, alright, alright
doin'alright, alright, alright
you can find a way you can find a way to release it just unleash it cuz the pieces fall into place All
right, there you go, folks.
Hope you enjoyed that song.
Now, you'll be able to download the MP3 file free of charge, of course, at music.brighttown.com or go to my artist website, amethios.com.
That's A-M-E-T-H-I-O-S.
A-M-E-T-H-I-O-S, amethios.com.
This song will be there in the next couple of days.
And then also, this song is on my album on Spotify.
So if you go to my artist name on Spotify, Amethios, my album there is called The Awakening, and you'll be able to play this song and all the other songs that I released with my first album there.
Also, it's on iTunes and it's on, I don't know, all the music services.
You can find my album and you can enjoy these songs.
The interesting thing about this is that the music video takes so much longer than the song.
Using AI tools now, I can produce a really good quality song in, let's say, 10 to 15 hours of just real work time.
And that's for a really good song.
I mean, I can do a one-off funny song in five minutes, but to do a really well-done song, at least 10 hours.
But the music video can take...
Even with AI, you know, it could take 50 hours or more because of all the re-rendering and getting the scenes correct and there's so much more happening and describing the visual nature of it.
You know, it's difficult to do it right.
And I want to mention something.
If you go to the frame at 14 seconds in this music video, all right, you see this scene at 14 seconds?
This is exactly like where I lived in Ecuador.
This was the small town.
And you had the kind of cobblestone streets, although they weren't this wide.
But the buildings looked just like this.
The roofs with the same material, which is like baked clay roof, you know.
The colors, exactly like this.
The church in the distance.
the mountains even farther in the distance.
And the people on the street and the little street vendors and places to sit and, you know, trees and so on,
This looks exactly like where I lived in Ecuador.
And this is a very typical kind of scene of a small Mexican town, a small rural town in Peru or Bolivia or Ecuador or Chile.
Very, very similar to this.
I love the fact that the AI engine got a lot right in this video.
But of course, we had to describe it.
We had to tell them what to do in great detail as well.
And I also, for those of you watching this, for those of you who are women, and you're wondering about the depiction of women in this video, I do want to tell you that I toned this down tremendously.
In terms of the breasts, you know, the partial nudity.
I mean, there's not any real nudity in the video.
But the AI engines tend to render women in a way that is really exaggerated, right?
Exaggerated supermodels with big boobs and everything.
And we really had to tone that down.
So you should see some of the stuff.
That the AI engine rendered that I said, oh my god, no.
I'm like, you know, we've got to put more clothes on these people, is what I'm saying.
Which we did.
And I'm not saying it wasn't just straight up nudity, but it was like, you know, right on the edge.
So anyway, just to clarify, we were not pushing the engine toward supermodels and seductive models and, you know, Voluptuous breasts.
We actually pulled it back from that.
If you can believe it.
It's funny, though.
It never renders men in a really sexy way.
It renders men as boring.
But women, it always likes to render them as more sexy supermodels.
I guess that's just a commentary on what's out there in society.
All right.
Anyway, moving on.
I hope you enjoyed that music video.
Wait till you see the next music video.
All our dreams come true.
That's that one.
I think it will bring you to tears.
But speaking of men and women, there's big news out of the UK where the UK Supreme Court has now ruled that a man cannot become a woman.
No bleep, Sherlock.
We've known that this whole time.
And, of course, the LGBT people are losing.
They damn minds over this court decision.
And it is surprising that the UK court would declare anything that makes any sense because, you know, the UK is so twisted with all these authoritarian woke idiots in charge.
But somehow they were able to come to their senses long enough to say that, you know, men are not women and men cannot be women and there's no such thing as a transgender woman.
Or, you know, a man who becomes a woman doesn't exist.
And now the UK has rendered an official position on that, saying that the word woman refers to biology.
Yeah. And, you know, also the transgenders in the U.S. are losing their minds over this decision, too.
Like, trans women are real women.
No, they're not.
So-called trans women are...
Fake actors pretending to be women, but they're actually men, obviously.
And how long has this gone on?
Has this been about a decade of all the trans lunacy?
Seems like it, and of course it infected everything in the media.
All the Netflix, all the movies, the Hollywood, the TV shows, everything became trans and gay.
Even the Blue Origin space launch was somehow totally fake and gay.
Even though it's just a bunch of celebrity women that acted like they got launched into space.
Yeah, we know the whole thing was staged.
It's so obvious at this point.
Just another Truman Show hoax, folks.
But we've been dealing with this trans lunacy for a number of years, obviously.
And it's worth repeating a couple of points.
Number one, anybody who thinks a man can become a woman is mentally ill.
And I have said publicly that all those people who hold that mentally ill belief should be removed from any position of power or authority.
They should not be school teachers.
They should not be counselors.
They should not be members of Congress.
They should not be mayors, CEOs, none of it.
If you think that a man can become a woman, you are mentally ill and you are a danger to society if you're in a position of authority.
If you want to go believe retarded things by yourself in the privacy of your own twisted bedroom, hey, that's your business.
I don't care.
But you shouldn't be teaching children, for God's sake.
You shouldn't be the leader of a church.
You shouldn't be the leader of a corporation.
You shouldn't be an elected official.
Because you're mentally ill.
You should be in a psych ward.
Maybe rereading the definition of what is a man and what is a woman, because there are definitions.
So, the second point is that myself and many of us, including the author of, what's her name?
Rowling? The author of all those books, the Harry Potter books?
Yeah, she's been battling this online for like 10 years.
But she and I and others, we always stood our ground on this.
We never wavered on this.
You know, we never gave in and said, oh, I guess there's 57 genders.
No, I've said it from day one and I've been banned and I've been censored and I've been blacklisted for stating the obvious.
The obvious that now the UK Supreme Court has confirmed and I'm waiting for the United States Supreme Court to affirm this same decision.
Wondering if Amy Coney Barrett will come to her senses or not.
We know John Roberts will vote for trans.
Because Roberts is totally compromised with Epstein files and all that.
I mean, we all know that.
But the U.S. Supreme Court should render a decision on this and say, look, men cannot become women.
Women cannot become men.
You're born as a man or a woman.
Remember when the retarded left told us all these years that when a child is born, they are assigned a gender, like arbitrarily assigned a gender?
Remember that?
What? As if they thought that babies were born gender neutral.
You know, like, with no reproductive biology.
With no ovaries.
With no testes.
Nothing. Like, babies are born neutral and then they're assigned a gender.
Like, that's what the LGBT movement insisted upon for the last decade.
And it was always retarded.
And insane.
And it still is.
And it always will be.
Because everybody who has ever been around a child being born knows, hey, it's a boy or it's a girl.
I mean, that's why they have gender reveal parties even before they're born.
Yeah, it's a boy, you know?
And I think gender reveal parties are stupid, by the way.
It's like, nobody cares the gender of your baby.
We do care that there are only two genders, okay?
So don't mutilate your baby.
We care about that.
And don't mess with its head by convincing it that it was born in the wrong body.
But we don't need your stupid gender reveal party that's probably going to set fire to 100 acres anyway with all your exploding confetti or whatever.
We don't care about your gender reveal party.
We do care about protecting children from the predatory transgender lunatics.
Who are rampant in the Democrat Party, all across the radical left, you know, the same people that love vaccine jabs, they think men can become women.
The same people who believe that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and a poison that hurts plants, they think men can become women.
Yeah. The same people who think big government is great, they think men can become women.
The same people who think that Joe Biden...
Was the most popular president ever and that he won the 2020 election?
Yeah, they think men can become women.
Ponder that.
Now, many of us were censored and deplatformed and blacklisted over all these years upon the order of the federal government itself.
And this is why a year ago, last May, my company, Brighteon Media, we filed a lawsuit against We sued Facebook, Meta, we sued Google,
we sued X. That lawsuit is still pending.
It's in the federal courts in Texas right now.
And that lawsuit, we have standing in that lawsuit because we were specifically named by the United States government, specifically by a group called the Global Engagement Center, the GEC, which The GEC laundered censorship demands through overseas NGOs in the UK,
which then forwarded those demands to big tech platforms like X and YouTube and Google, which then censored myself, my voice, my name, censored Natural News, censored Brighteon.
I mean, X still censors Brighteon.
And so...
We filed this lawsuit.
We've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on it.
We are pursuing this lawsuit.
And then, out of the blue, it just happened.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that he's shutting down the Global Engagement Center.
He's ending it.
He's firing all the full-time staffers from the GEC.
He's eliminated the 100-plus contractors of the State Department that...
Ran the GEC, and he has now admitted, he has admitted that the U.S. government engaged in malicious censorship of the free speech of Americans.
This is a quote from Secretary Marco Rubio.
Quote, over the last decade, Americans have been slandered, fired, charged, and even jailed for simply voicing their opinions.
That ends today.
He said, I am announcing the closure of the State Department's counter-foreign information manipulation and interference, formerly known as the Global Engagement Center, GEC, which cost taxpayers more than $50 million per year, and actively silenced and censored the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving.
So, yes!
Yes, that is an admission of guilt.
That we intend to enter into the courts as part of our lawsuit.
So, number one, I applaud this move by Secretary Marco Rubio, and it is important to note that Marco Rubio never censored me.
It was, you know, the people before him, right?
And certainly the Biden administration, but also the bureaucrats during the first Trump administration that Trump didn't control.
He still doesn't control them all, obviously.
Secretary Rubio never censored me, okay?
I'm not claiming he did.
I'm actually applauding this move by him.
But, in my opinion, and in the opinion of my legal team, the United States government owes my company compensation for the damage that the government caused to us.
Many tens of millions of dollars in damage.
And so our lawsuit continues.
And we are pursuing this lawsuit.
Even though the GEC has been shut down, we're not dropping the lawsuit.
This is my announcement today.
We're not dropping the lawsuit because we need the federal government to issue a public apology and to compensate us for the damage they caused and to make sure that this never, ever, ever happens again.
And we're also going after big tech.
And they owe us compensation for the damage that they caused on purpose.
And this conspiracy among the GEC, Big Tech, and overseas NGOs, this was a censorship conspiracy that violated the First Amendment.
This was illegal, and this was a violation of the civil rights of Americans.
Not just myself, obviously, but many millions of Americans who were also censored.
So, outstanding move by Secretary Rubio.
We applaud it.
Now it's time for the United States to compensate those who were censored.
And related to this, I've also said that the United States government should compensate the J6 political prisoners.
And I've said before that the compensation amounts should be significant.
I think that for every single day that one of the peaceful J6 protesters, every single day that they had to serve in prison, Or jail.
Every day they should be compensated $10,000.
So if they were sent to jail for 90 days, they should get $900,000.
Tax-free.
And, you know, it's time.
Trump needs to approve this, in my opinion.
He needs to...
I mean, heck, there are 14 magic money computers, as Doge found out, and Elon Musk talked about.
They just print up trillions of dollars and...
Send it all over the place to all the corrupt NGOs and USAID recipients, etc.
They can fire up the magic money computer and give money to the J6 prisoners.
Compensate them.
Ten grand a day, that's what I'm saying.
And then for my own case, you know, we'll let a jury decide.
But the damage caused to us was at least $50 million.
So we'll see what happens.
I mean, the government damaged us.
And when you hear me say things like, the federal government is a terrorist organization, that is not just an emotional knee-jerk reaction statement.
That is a factual statement based on evidence and experience and history.
Almost every department of the federal government is a terrorist organization.
Or you could say was, like the EPA, let's say.
The EPA now, under Lee Zeldin, I don't think...
I don't think I could call it a terrorist organization now, but before Zeldin got there, absolutely the EPA was a terrorist organization, running around with guns and body armor and threatening farmers.
It's insane.
The FDA, 100% the FDA is a terrorist organization, still continues to this day.
They terrorize small businesses all across America.
The ATF, terrorizing gun owners and FFLs.
The FBI, need I say anything?
You know, Kash Patel needs to get busy bulldozing that place.
Even Steve Bannon said that the other day.
You've got to bulldoze the FBI.
You can't reform it.
You can't save it.
Shut it down.
Shut the whole thing down.
Like, literally take a bulldozer to the buildings, you know?
Or auction them off or something.
Fire everybody in the FBI.
They are zero use to America.
Zero use.
But... For at least a decade, our own government terrorized us and targeted people like me, they named me, to be economically destroyed and reputationally destroyed.
And they did this in order to protect the retarded, psychopathic transgender pushers.
Think about it.
They were protecting the insane child mutilators while punishing the people who were telling the truth.
People like you and I. Think about it.
That's how insane it became.
I mean, thank God that some things have shifted, right?
Thank God.
I mean, as much as I sometimes complain about the current administration or some of the decisions, there are some bright things happening, like this, like Secretary Rubio, excuse me, it's still hard to get used to that,
Secretary Rubio shutting down the GEC.
But we need a law.
We need Congress to get involved and to pass a law that specifically prohibits the federal government from laundering censorship requests.
I mean, we're supposed to have the First Amendment, you know, but the courts don't even pay attention to the Bill of Rights or the Constitution.
So we need another law to affirm this, and we need a Supreme Court decision to affirm this, that...
No government regime, no administration.
Because remember, Trump's not going to be there forever.
No administration has the right to name who can be silenced or why they can be silenced.
And that brings us to the censorship of the Trump administration.
Because Trump is a puppet of the Zionists.
And he and his regime, you know, they're arresting students that are on student visas and deporting them.
Without any due process.
Because they don't like their speech.
And it's said that the Trump administration is pursuing possible free speech restriction laws for Americans.
Where your First Amendment rights would be squashed in order to protect Zionism.
That if you quoted certain Bible scriptures, like some of the early New Testament work, some of the quotes by Peter, some of the...
Scriptures in Acts, for example.
You quote that stuff, you might go to jail.
And even right now, you do go to jail in Germany, in the UK, in a lot of European countries, if you criticize Israel or Zionism or if you disagree with any of the history of the Holocaust, you go to jail.
And that is flatly un-American.
So we have to stand up and demand that our free speech is protected in America.
Even if we don't agree with the message of what someone might be saying.
You know, freedom of speech doesn't mean that somebody's always going to agree with us.
Freedom of speech means you're going to hear some crazy stuff.
And that's what freedom sounds like.
You know, you're going to hear a whole group of people like, the earth is flat, you know.
Okay, that's your free speech.
I don't have a problem with people saying, Whatever shape they think the earth...
Maybe some people think the earth is a triangle.
I don't know.
It's the triangle earthers.
Is it a flat triangle or is it like a 3D pyramid?
Maybe some people think the earth is a dodecahedron.
You know, those would be the dodecahedron earthers.
That's fine.
It's all free speech.
I don't care.
You can think it's whatever shape you want.
That's your right to say it.
And by the way, The fake staged Blue Origin capsule thing with the boob job celebrities pouring out of it through that fake door.
The funniest thing about that was not that it was obviously so fake that that return capsule didn't have a scratch on it.
They just pulled it out of the factory with a fresh paint job.
The funniest thing about that is that the Flat Earthers seized upon that to say, See?
See, it's all fake.
The Earth is flat.
See, they never went to space.
And it's funny because they didn't go to space.
But that doesn't mean the Earth is flat.
It's just the flat earthers definitely seized upon that to say, see, it's all fake.
Which is, I mean, they have a point.
There's a lot of fakery in all of NASA's history.
I mean, I've interviewed Bart Sabrell.
There's so much fakery in NASA.
So many lies we've been told over all the years of so-called space travel and so-called moon landings or whatever.
You know, so much stuff is faked, and we have no way to verify it because we don't have anybody on the moon who can tell us, did anybody really come here?
Not anybody living.
What's also funny is that right now, all these people are on Twitter citing this statement from the United States government that's really talking about economic issues, and it's a statement that It says that the U.S. government has technology to manipulate time and space.
Here it is.
It's from the White House.
It says, our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space.
They leave distance annihilated, causing things to grow and improve productivity.
So this is in the context of international shipping efficiencies and economics.
It's actually talking about being a net energy exporter.
And why economic stagnation was a choice in our country and how our builders and innovators have been weighed down and how the systems and structures of key infrastructure in America have been hampered by bureaucrats,
right? That's what the letter is about.
And then it says, our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space.
Well, all they mean there is that By space, like the world has become smaller because we have rapid international transportation, like international jet flights.
So that's a manipulation of time and space.
You know, you cross the date lines, you change time zones.
Manipulation of time just means we can do things faster now than what we used to do.
But a lot of people took that one sentence as thinking that the U.S. government has like secret alien weapon technology.
And they're going to use it on Iran because Trump was talking about, oh, we have a super secret weapon system.
And I was thinking that maybe our weapon is infinite debt, right?
That's what I put into the Trump tariff song.
Infinite debt.
Look, I don't think the U.S. has any super secret weapon systems that work because the U.S. can't even deploy hypersonic missiles that work or F-35s that work reliably.
The U.S. military has become laughingstock.
The entire Navy has been defeated by Yemen, by the Houthis, you know, go figure.
I mean, you know, the U.S. military, the entire military couldn't defeat Russia in Ukraine.
And we know that Ukraine was pretty much run by NATO forces this whole time.
You know, the U.S. military doesn't have a super-secret weapon.
It does have nukes.
It does have bunker busters.
It's got bombs.
It's got all that stuff.
Yeah, and that's all very dangerous stuff.
But it doesn't have, like, teleportation, like, proton torpedoes or whatever, like, antimatter torpedoes that are going to just cause Iran to vanish off of the map.
No. Don't have that.
I don't think so.
Now, That technology does exist.
Let me be clear.
I just don't think it's in the hands of the U.S. government.
I think it's in the hands of a breakaway civilization that is involved with some of those weird drones that we saw late last year and the disappearance of what was that flight?
MH370 was it?
The flight over the Indian Ocean that Ashton Forbes talks about.
I interviewed him.
So yeah, there's freaky technology.
There is teleportation technology.
There is.
Like warp drives and anti-gravity propulsion systems.
What I'm saying is that's not something that Trump has.
That's not something the DOD has.
That's something that this other breakaway civilization has and they may be about to carry out a coup.
Who knows?
It's going to get interesting.
Alright, so let's do this.
Let's do this.
Let me do the fast food museum video for you here.
And then...
We'll do a Bright Learn book and then we'll do today's interview.
How's that sound?
The interview is with Marjorie Wildcraft.
And I want to remind you that we've got many items on a buy more, save more basis now at healthrangerstore.com slash save where you can save more by upping the quantity of what you buy.
We're actually making them more affordable to you if you want to stock up on things while the dollar still has any value remaining.
It's a good chance to do that.
healthrangerstore.com Slash save.
Now enjoy this fast food museum video and then we'll continue on the other side.
All right, welcome to today's science experiment here at the Brighton Studios.
I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, the founder of brighton.com and the founder of our laboratory, CWC Labs.
And today I have with me, well, it's the Museum of Fast Food History.
So let's show the camera.
There. What you're looking at right there, this is McDonald's from the year 2014.
So you can see on top there, that's an apple pie and one of their barbecue burgers.
And then in the other ones, you can see there's Chicken McNuggets in the bottom center.
And there's French fries on the top right up there.
There's a Big Mac in the mix here.
Now, none of this has decomposed.
None of this molded.
None of it got eaten by microbes.
And I just want to tell you, I didn't do anything special to preserve these.
All I did was I bought them, and I put them in these plexiglass containers, and I sealed the lids, and that's it.
I didn't take the oxygen out.
I didn't take the humidity out.
Nothing. I mean, this is all just McDonald's.
I put it in these containers 11 years ago.
And what we're going to do here today is we're going to take a look at this food under our digital microscope that we happen to have set up here because we're doing lots of fun experiments.
So let's take a look at some French fries and maybe some chicken McNuggets.
How about that?
Let's put them under the microscope and see, has it changed in 11 years or is it still the same?
Let me grab some samples here.
Man, it's a little tight.
There we go.
Thank you.
all right so here's a french fry
Chicken nugget.
Mmm. Let's get a Big Mac patty.
Yeah. Alright, so here we go.
The time machine.
McDonald's time machine.
Chicken nugget from 2014.
Big Mac patty from 2014.
And a french fry.
From 2014.
I think this is going to be interesting.
So let's start with the Big Mac patty under the microscope.
Again, from 2014.
Time traveling, fast food.
Alright, so we are at 20x zoom right now.
And this is what the Big Mac patty looks like.
Let me adjust the lighting and see if we can get something.
So there we go.
Looks pretty much the same as a Big Mac in 2025, doesn't it?
And yeah, I mean, all kinds of little meat-like substances in here.
So that's what the Big Mac looks like, or at least the patty of the Big Mac.
Okay, so let's go to the chicken nugget now.
And I took the fried part off.
There's the fried skin you can see, and then the inner chicken, allegedly.
And I don't know about you, but this looks exactly the same as a chicken nugget from 2025, because we also have chicken McNuggets over there, too, that we just bought for this purpose.
And then we're going to look at a french fry from 2014.
And there it is.
There we go.
There's our French fry.
It looks like a French fry.
And if we zoom in, you know, we're going to see various little artifacts of fried potatoes, right?
That's what we would expect that to look like.
But the weird thing is that nothing has eaten this.
It's like, why isn't there any Example of this being eaten.
Let me show a different view here.
Where's the mold?
Where's the bacteria?
Normally, if you put so-called food like this out in nature, something's going to eat it.
Or even if you put it in a container, it's going to mold.
You've probably seen that even in your refrigerator.
Things mold, even when they're refrigerated.
Fast food from 2014 hasn't disintegrated, deteriorated, hasn't been eaten by anything.
Let me grab another sample and show you another look here.
Here's a fish fillet sandwich from 2014.
I mean, it still looks like basically the same thing.
It's still a fish fillet sandwich from 2014.
From 2014, like, why didn't anything eat it?
Why didn't bacteria eat it?
I'm not going to eat it.
I wouldn't eat it back then when it was new.
And now here it is, 11 years old, still the same fish filet sandwich.
Something seems wrong with that to me, you know, as a food scientist.
It's like, how many preservatives exactly are in this?
You know, that literally nothing is eating it.
Not even the bacteria floating around.
Nothing is eating it.
So, I'll tell you what.
Fish filet sandwich, right?
Let's stick it under the microscope.
See what kind of nastiness we might discover here.
Alright, here we go.
Alright, so there's the fish filet sandwich under the microscope.
Pretty much looks like what you would expect.
Looks like a fish filet sandwich.
You know, the fried part.
You know, here's...
I don't know where the fish is.
This is all just fried breading and such.
Mmm, yummy.
Does this look like your favorite lunch right here?
McDonald's from 2014?
Look, it's a cave.
Luke Skywalker escaped from that.
And the Empire Strikes Back.
What is this?
So, I don't know.
You tell me.
Is there a fish fillet in here somewhere?
Maybe if we break it open?
Shall we break it open?
Do a little bit of fast food archaeology?
Let's do that.
Okay, let's break off a corner of this sucker.
Oh. There we go.
It broke in half.
And now we have...
There's the fish, like the fish flesh part right there.
And I'm getting this all over my hands, too.
I don't want to do that.
So, what do you think?
Does it look like fish?
Maybe? Like dried fish, yeah?
It kind of looks like dried fish.
There's a pretty good shot right there.
Some of the fish.
So, again, why is nothing eating this?
That's my question.
Now, it is kind of disintegrating now here.
On the desk, it's not holding together that well, but nothing has eaten it.
So let's go back over here.
Hot and spicy chicken, Big Mac, the chicken nuggets, barbecue ranch burger.
What is this one?
A McDouble.
So this is a McDouble.
That's kind of crumbling.
But are there really two patties in there?
I mean, again, nothing's going away.
It's all still here.
Okay, one more to show you, folks.
McDonald's apple pie from 2014.
Okay, the apple pie, it's still here.
I mean...
It looks the same as a brand new apple pie, doesn't it?
For the most part, I mean, maybe there's a little bit of discoloration of it, but it's still the same.
Shall we look at this under the microscope?
Let's do that.
Okay, well, there we go.
There's the apple pie crust and some of the filling.
There we go.
Still looks the same.
Still crazy after all these years.
There we go.
The great indestructible apple pie.
This thing is more indestructible than passports of the 9-11 bombers, actually, it turns out, or the pilots.
Like, this stuff can withstand anything.
They should make highway overpasses out of McDonald's apple pies.
No, seriously, I'm not suggesting that there's anything in here that's illegal.
Or that violates health codes or anything like that.
I'm just saying, when it's food, isn't it supposed to sort of deteriorate, maybe?
Or have mold grow on?
Do you see any mold at all?
There's no mold.
Nothing wants to eat this.
And definitely not myself, either.
But there's no mold.
There's no bacteria that I can see.
Nothing wants to eat this.
So why are you eating it?
Why is anybody eating this stuff?
What does it do to you if it's practically sort of embalming food, in a sense?
It lasts forever.
Is it for longevity?
I doubt it.
Something seems really off to me about this, but what we're going to do here at brighttown.com is we're going to take a closer look at other fast food companies and some of their products in subsequent sessions using our microscope, because Back in 2014,
I went out and bought a lot of fast food and put it in containers like this, and I've been keeping it this entire time in order to film this exact segment right here.
It's the Fast Food Time Traveling Museum, and it's worse than I thought.
Okay, so thank you for watching today.
There's more coming.
I'm Mike Adams with Brighton.com.
You know, food scientists, clean foods, all of that.
And if you want clean foods, shop with us at healthrangerstore.com, where we actually have clean lab-tested food, superfood, organics, nutritional supplements, personal care products, and so much more using our multi-million dollar laboratory to conduct the testing,
heavy metals testing, glyphosate testing, also bacteria, microbiology testing, aflatoxin testing, and much more.
Again, find all of that at healthrangerstore.com.
Thank you for your support, and there's a lot more coming up in terms of looking at, you know, old fast food like it's out of a museum.
So thanks for watching today.
Take care, everybody.
All right, pretty freaky video there, huh?
Wow. Wait till you see what we have coming up.
I have been, like, I've engaged my mad scientist brain, and I've been collecting.
Experiments to run.
So we're actually running out of space on my desk.
We have the incubator there incubating crazy chemtrails, Fallout.
And we're going to be, guess what?
We're going to be freezing xylitol crystals under the microscope.
It's going to be so freaking cool.
You're going to love that.
I did that a few years ago when I was writing my book called The Contagious Mind.
But I've never really publicized any of those videos, so I'm going to do it for you now.
We're going to melt xylitol and watch it freeze into crystals in real time under the microscope.
And we're going to do a lot of other way cool stuff with like, well, you know what?
I'm going to show you how to make a spirulina extract using IPA and water to pull out the phycocyanin molecules and then also how to use a centrifuge.
In order to purify things and, you know, how to make your own natural medicines.
We're going to do all that stuff.
Some of it involving the microscope.
Some of it involving a centrifuge.
Some of it involving an incubator.
You know?
Basically, we're turning my studio into a lab is what's happening.
Had to order some pipettes and some more purple latex gloves for that.
Anyway, got a brightlearn.ai book review video for you here today called Green Energy Genocide.
The Climate Scam.
And this is a book by Alan Malcolm McRae.
And as with all these book review videos, you can watch it for free.
Just go to brightlearn.ai and you'll see that book and all the others.
There's also a link to purchase the book.
I think we link to Amazon.
We always like to support the authors here.
We always give them credit, of course, and we always link to their books.
I always mention the author's names here.
Always want to give people credit for their work.
But this is an outstanding book, Green Energy Genocide, The Climate Scam.
So check out this five-minute review video, and then we'll continue on the other side with today's interview.
Hello, everyone.
Today we're taking a journey into the heart of a controversy that has divided opinions, sparked debates, and, according to some, changed the course of history.
We're talking about the book...
Green Energy Genocide, The Climate Scam, by Alan Malcolm McRae, a provocative and eye-opening exploration of the climate change narrative and its impact on our world.
McRae, an engineer with a strong background in earth sciences, claims he knew from the start that the climate change narrative was deliberately false and misleading.
He traces it back to 1985 when it was known as Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming, or CAGW.
According to McRae, this narrative was a political concoction by the United Nations, not grounded in scientific reality.
He argues that climate has always changed throughout Earth's history, and the idea that carbon dioxide or CO2 levels are dangerously high is, in his view, a myth.
In fact, he suggests that CO2 levels are dangerously low for the survival of terrestrial life, citing the last ice age when low CO2 levels nearly halted photosynthesis and could have led to an extinction event.
McRae doesn't hold back when it comes to the motivations behind the climate narrative.
He claims it's a political scam, promoted by those who know it's false and believed by those who are misled.
He points to the trillions of dollars wasted on green energy projects that, according to him, are neither green nor efficient.
He argues that dispatchable generation, which can be programmed on demand, is the key to a stable power grid, not the intermittent sources like wind and solar that dominate the green energy landscape.
McRae's critique extends to the proponents of the climate narrative, whom he accuses of shunning scientific debate and vilifying those who speak out against them.
He draws a comparison to historical propagandists like Lenin and Goebbels, suggesting that the tactics used to promote the climate narrative are similar to those used in false propaganda campaigns.
McRae backs up his claims with scientific evidence.
He cites studies that show cold weather kills far more people than warm weather, making the fear of CO2-driven warming seem misplaced.
He also argues that the climate sensitivity to atmospheric CO2 is very small, debunking the idea of a fossil-fuel-caused climate crisis.
Instead, he highlights the benefits of increased CO2, such as improved crop yields, which he sees as a positive outcome.
He also discusses the work of scientists like Dr. Ola Humlum and Dr. Benny Pizer, who have questioned the climate crisis narrative.
Humlum's 2022 report, for example, found gentle warming, but no evidence of dramatic changes.
While Peiser's assessments have consistently shown little change in climate trends over the past 30 years, McRae doesn't just stop at debunking the climate narrative.
He also explores the consequences of the green energy agenda.
He argues that the focus on green energy has led to energy shortages, increased costs, and even loss of life.
He cites the example of Alberta.
Where he claims the shift to green energy has resulted in higher electricity costs and reduced grid reliability.
He also points to the impact on developing countries, where the denial of fossil fuel energy has, according to him, worsened the lives of millions.
McRae's vision for the future is starkly different from the green energy agenda.
He advocates for a return to reliable, dispatchable energy sources, arguing that the focus should be on energy efficiency, clean water, and the abatement of real atmospheric pollution, not CO2.
He believes that the climate narrative is a distraction from real environmental issues, and that the focus on CO2 is misplaced.
In conclusion, McRae's book is a powerful critique of the climate change narrative and the green energy agenda.
It challenges us to rethink our assumptions and consider the broader implications of the policies being implemented in the name of saving the planet.
Whether you agree with his views or not, his arguments are compelling and deserve consideration.
Thank you for joining me on this journey through Green Energy Genocide, the climate scam.
I hope this episode has sparked your curiosity and encouraged you to think critically about the issues shaping our world.

All right.
Very cool stuff.
We're about to jump into today's feature interview with Marjorie Wildcraft.
I want to give credit to our sponsor today, the satellite phone store, sat123.com, for backup communications, of course, which will become incredibly important as systems begin to deteriorate.
Infrastructure will become less reliable, it turns out.
That will include electrical infrastructure, but also telecommunications, food supply, supply chains, stuff from China.
Did you know that a lot of the telecommunications equipment, Comes from China, like most of it, and looks like that supply chain is collapsing, so I can see a lot of disruptions coming in telecoms, cell phone towers, data, all that.
So, you know, a satellite phone is a smart idea, sat123.com, and they also have deals with Starlink.
You can get a Starlink system from them.
Just go to starlink123.com.
They make Starlink systems very affordable and easy, To manage with a simple monthly payment.
So check that out again.
Starlink123.com Now then, we've got some new products at our store.
We've got a Vitamin D K2 product and some other things.
A dandelion tincture.

This isn't made with maltodextrin and fake cream flavors or any nonsense or artificial colors.
Nothing like that.
The only thing that this recipe is lacking is salt.
We made it really low salt.
We did not add any salt to the formula, so you'll want to salt it to taste.
But it's incredibly delicious, and it's made with real food ingredients.
And then check this out.

In fact, here's my microscope right here that we're doing demos with.
And we're looking at some crazy stuff that fell out of the sky.
Very interesting.
Not food.
But we're all about making sure that you have ultra-clean food.
So thank you for your support.
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and we are joined today by one of our fan favorite guests, Marjorie Wildcraft, who is the expert in growing an enormous amount of food with the least amount of space and effort.
And now she's expanded her offerings with a new docuseries that's going to be streaming for free at Brighteon University, and it's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills.
And she joins us here to talk about this, and then we'll give you details about how to register.
It's free and when it starts streaming.
But welcome, Marjorie.
It's great to have you back on.
Thanks, Mike.
It's a pleasure.
Yeah, real excited.
It's always great to have you here, and people love your message, and you're so empowering to people with what you're teaching.
Tell us about the focus of this course, and then we'll get into a lot more detailed questions about what's going on with our world right now.
Yeah, sure.
So, Mike, you know, I grew up in the South, and when I was on the swim team, my coach was a Civil War fanatic, so we'd stop at all these battlegrounds everywhere across the South.
And I always said, yeah, that's what the guys were doing, but what about the women and children?
How do women and children get through war?
You know, like, what happens there?
So I've done a lot of research on that.
And that's actually, if you want to know, that's my specialty, right?
So somebody has, you know, somebody's got to feed you, somebody's going to help take care of your...
You know, your illnesses and your owies.
Somebody's going to take care of the children.
You hold the community together.
And that's what the wartime home front essential skills is all about, is the skills that, you know, I would say I'm speaking mostly to the women in the family, but that's not necessarily, you know, true.
It's really the whole family.
But, you know, other than the guns and the prep for defense and all that, what do you do to stay healthy, stay alive, stay happy, you know, maintain family continuity?
During these incredible times, and make no doubt about it, we are at war.
I mean, we are at what we've been at war for years.
I think it's starting to become and dawn on people now that it's actually true.
But we're at war, and the first strategy in war is to destroy the food supply, and they're doing that very effectively.
Well, this is one of the first questions I wanted to ask you is, what compelled you to focus on this in terms of the context of war?
But you sort of answered it.
We are at war.
But it seems to me that we are in multiple wars.
Like, we're in a globalist war to deprive humanity of medicine, food, and knowledge.
But then we're also in kind of a domestic political war where we have these radical Trump haters, you know, lighting up Tesla dealerships and getting charged with terrorism, by the way.
There goes 20 years.
But it seems like there's this really angry anti-Trump movement that's also increasingly talking about kinetic warfare domestically.
So, is it true?
And then there's the economic war that's happening, right, which affects everything.
Absolutely, the BRICS.
I mean, the dollar collapses in full throw.
That's true.
I was absolutely shocked with Elon Musk announcing that they found 14 magic computers that just...
Generate money?
Magic money computers.
Yeah, that's what he said.
If you have one magic computer that can do that, you should be absolutely concerned.
So how much has it printed?
You know, we don't know.
But every trillion more that they're printing just devalues the dollar more.
And I believe there's a whole bunch of trouble in the bond market.
I'm sure you'll have somebody on talking about that.
But we're very, very, very close to the end.
I don't think the dollar will die.
It'll just become absolutely worthless.
And so what that means to you and to me, you go buy a cup of coffee.
It used to be $2 or $3, and now it's like $5 or $6.
Soon it's going to be $100 or $1,000 or $10,000.
And this is not hyperbole.
In 1922, in Weimar, Germany, people were grumbling because the price of eggs had tripled in January.
There was like three marks for a dozen eggs.
By October of that year, and these people do not have smartphones, internet, all that stuff, by October, so we're talking 9-10 months, the price for a dozen eggs was a billion marks.
Wow. I guess I'm a German billionaire since my chickens are still laying eggs every day.
Or at least I would have been in the Weimar Republic.
You might be.
I'm planning on when they print the trillion dollar...
Dollars. I want a couple of them.
I'm going to keep them as souvenirs.
Me too.
I'll add to my collection because I've got the trillions here from all the other countries.
I've seen your trillions.
I'm envious.
It's like Zimbabwe trillions and whatever.
Some of these are like $10 trillion.
So yeah, I want to expand my collection.
What is this?
I don't even know what country.
I've never even heard of it.
Here's $50 billion.
And it's actually called dollars too.
Look at that.
Oh, that's Zimbabwe.
So, yeah, we want to add the trillion-dollar greenbacks.
But that's coming here to America, and a lot sooner than people think.
The other thing you didn't mention about the war is how many millions were brought in under the last regime?
Was it 30, 40 million?
At least 10 million.
Yeah. By and large, they've been removing some of them, but they're still in place for what?
Yeah, most of them are still in the U.S., that's for sure.
But let's get back to food here for a second, because I think people don't realize the impact on the food supply of this embargo of China also.
So you and I both know, Marjorie, but maybe a lot of the audience doesn't realize how much of the food is processed in China.
I mean, some of it's even...
Grown in the U.S. or raised in the U.S. shipped to China for processing, for cutting the meat, freezing it, freeze-drying it, whatever, and then it's shipped back to the U.S. Like frozen broccoli.
You buy frozen broccoli at the grocery store, some of it's actually from China.
Isn't that insane?
It's totally insane, yeah.
135% tariff.
So we're in a massive global trade war, and right now the vast majority of countries are only 10%.
But you know that's going to go up, right?
They're just playing around with it, and they're going to go up.
And I made a list for you of things that will get affected.
And coffee?
99% of the coffee in the United States is imported.
And mostly from Colombia and Vietnam, so we're talking about 10% to 48% increase on the beans coming in.
And that's the wholesale price increase.
Retail can be much higher.
Oh, yeah.
Overall, the U.S. imports about 20% of the food we eat.
So right off the bat, we're looking at an immediate food price increase.
Because a lot of this, I mean, there'll be some of the package stuff, there's a bit in the pipeline, but especially the fresh produce, you're going to be seeing that in days, if not weeks, on the price increases.
One of the other ones that we have is seafood.
85% of the seafood is imported in the United States.
Wow. And again, yeah, you're talking about, oh, I'm sorry, here's the Vietnam.
That was 46% we get from Vietnam.
And, you know, there's all these tear-ups being put in place.
So this is, it's going to hit hard really soon.
Fresh fruit, 59% is imported.
Oh, my.
Vegetables, 35%.
Here's another flip side to the, I was just getting this off of David Dubine on ADAP 2030.
I know you've interviewed him and he's got a channel here on Brighteon.
He was saying massive, about 45% of the soybeans grown in America are sold to China.
And China's canceling all those orders.
So, you know, most farmers can't handle a canceled order.
Maybe they'll be able to sell it.
Maybe not, but what we're looking at, the reality of it is a whole bunch of farms going under, going bankrupt, taking that farmland offline, which has been a decade after decade thing that has been going on, is reducing the farmland, reducing the farmers,
and reducing the food supply here.
So that's going to take another big hit in the reverse direction.
So these tariffs are disrupting everything.
Absolutely. We're going to see more.
We're going to see supply chain disruptions galore.
But with China, this is not going to be resolved quickly.
Not a chance.
In fact, the Chinese leaders are saying, we will never give in to Trump on this.
We will embargo the United States if we have to.
And they're already blocking rare earth mineral exports.
They're already selling off.
Tens of billions of dollars of U.S. Treasuries, by the way.
That hasn't even been publicly acknowledged yet.
That's happening.
And the other thing is, and yeah, I interviewed a financial expert just two days ago, and we were talking about how this calendar year, $9.5 trillion of Treasury debt expires and the Treasury has to find new buyers.
And I think he said $5 trillion of that is happening in May.
I mean, next month.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
So where are you going to find buyers in the world that want to buy $5 trillion of U.S. debt?
They don't exist, okay?
They don't exist.
They'll get the Fed to do it, which will add that many more trillions of dollars to the money supply and decrease the confidence in the U.S. dollar by that much more.
So, you know, Mike, we've both been preparing for years, if not decades, and this is it.
We're here.
It's also worth reminding our audience, your background is in technology.
Yeah, that's right.
My first degree was electrical engineering.
You have a big picture perspective of what's happening in the world, and you're very good at understanding the financial flows as well.
My second career, yeah, was real estate investment, actually right there in South Austin.
Not a stone's throw away from you there.
Oh, wow.
That business was so successful.
I made my first million by the time I was 40, and that business was so successful that Robert Kiyosaki had me on the air for four years on selling Rich Dad, Bore Dad on his infomercials.
I'm not sure if I'm proud of that or not.
Well, let me mention the course that you've got here.
Again, it's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills.
And folks, you can go to brightu.com.
That's the word bright, followed by the letter U, like university.
Brightu.com.
Register. It begins streaming on April 26th.
And it's free to watch.
Or you can also, of course, optionally purchase it.
And if you do, you get to download it and watch it on your own schedule.
And then you get all these bonus items that I'll ask Marjorie about here coming up.
But in terms of what's in the course, I've got some notes here.
But just go through some of the highlights of what you think is really special about this course.
So the first episode, and I really want to encourage everybody, if you do anything, just do that first episode.
And it's called How to Grow Half a Your Own Food in Your Backyard.
Really, you can do this in less than an hour a day.
Half an hour a day, some days, only a few minutes.
And the reason I'm emphasizing that so much, that you need to get on this right now, is because I've been teaching people how to grow food for 15 years.
And in that, I cherry-picked the three...
Fastest, easiest, and most productive ways for a backyard producer to grow food.
And this is assuming you have no experience, you're older, and you're out of shape.
And the reason it is so vitally important to watch that is the three things are, and the first thing in it is a small backyard flock of laying hens, which I recommend.
They produce eggs.
They're so wonderfully productive.
You can have egg production happening in your backyard in two or three weeks.
Fastest way to have breakfast handled for the rest of your life.
The thing is, you remember the egg spike price that went way up, and it's kind of back down a little bit.
I promise you, it's going back up again.
One of the consequences of that is you cannot buy a baby chick anywhere.
In fact, I called Ideal Poultry just before our meeting here.
Ideal Poultry is one of the largest suppliers of chicks in the U.S., and they're right there in Texas.
I've bought a lot of birds from them, a big operation.
The first that they'll be able to get you a chick if you want to buy any is going to be October of this year.
Most of the hatcheries are completely sold out.
They're just completely sold out.
You can't buy a baby chick anywhere.
But isn't that also because the government runs around ordering farmers to cull their flocks because of fake bogus PCR tests where they say they have bird flu, which is complete nonsense.
But they're just mass slaughtering millions of egg-laying hens on purpose.
I mean, Biden.
The Biden administration ran that operation.
It was sabotage.
Absolutely. I think that's what was the main cause for the increase in eggs.
I don't think it's affecting what the chick supply is.
Even Ideal Poultry, which is a huge hatchery, it's still a tiny, dinky business compared to egg production.
It's just the massive run of people going, oh my god, I think I better get some chickens in my backyard.
Bringing that up to demonstrate how quickly things can go and disappear, because there has not been a lot of backyard food production, so there's not a lot of businesses that can cater to it, and there's not a lot of production to it.
And it takes a while to get things going again, so it looks like it's going to be October before you can get a chick.
So I really recommend people watch at least that grow half.
And start getting everything you need to implement those first three pieces that I put in there, which will show you how to grow half your own food, which is huge.
If you're growing half, that's huge.
Get those components and start doing that now because these things do disappear and they disappear fast.
So you need to get the early adopters have the advantage.
And right now, anybody watching this?
Even if you feel like you're way behind, you're still an early adopter, so jump on this and do it and start growing food.
Alright, so you show people how to grow half their food in their own backyard, but that title doesn't specify the amount of space required to do that.
Actually, the minimum is about three parking spots.
You can fit it into that in about the size of three parking spots, and of course, more is better.
But I assume a typical suburban backyard.
My niche has always been like suburban backyard to small farm, like up to 10 or 20 acres.
But this is really catering to suburbanites.
But even if somebody has just a little quarter acre lot, that's enough.
Oh, absolutely.
You can do a tremendous amount with a quarter acre.
In fact, there's a family in California that is running a whole CSA where they're feeding 25 families, and they've just really dialed it in with what they're doing.
They only basically, I think, have a quarter acre.
They do vertical and all kinds of multi-layers.
I mean, there's a lot you can do.
And when I say you can grow half, I'm talking about you as a beginner in your first year.
And of course, as you develop your skills and your soils and your techniques, you'll be able to produce a huge amount more.
But I want to make it realistic.
I mean, it already sounds like clickbait, doesn't it?
Well, I mean, for people who have worked to grow food, what you're promising does sound pretty astonishing.
Because I mean, I've grown food lots of different times, different ways, and I've never had that much productivity.
But then again, you're the expert in this.
You've refined
Yeah, I've really dialed it in.
And again, I've been trying to teach people or encourage people to grow food for years.
And the bottom line truth is people are not going to do something until there's a crisis.
So I said, well...
Any education I design has to be targeted to somebody like this.
They know nothing and they're in crisis.
That's what this is targeted towards.
Specifically, you said that even if you're out of shape, even if you're not fit, you can still manage this.
I think that's really important because many people have limitations or they might be up there in the years and none of us are as mobile as we were when we were 20 or whatever.
So speak to that, because I don't want to be out there sweating it for three hours with a shovel all day.
No, so I really have targeted this, and I've taught a lot of people who are elder.
I've also taught kids.
I know down there in the Red Rock, we used to have a little Red Rock homeschooling collective, and I was teaching the kids how to grow food.
So anybody can do this.
One example is I really recommend raised bed gardens, and I recommend two raised bed gardens that are about 50 square feet.
So they're about 5 feet wide by...
10 feet long.
And I recommend that you make them out of cinder blocks.
So you would stack them too high.
So you've got about a, you know, 16, 18 inch depth of soil there.
The cool thing about the cinder blocks is you can sit on them while you're working and just kind of lean into the bed and do whatever weeding or harvesting you need to do.
But you've got a built-in bench all around that garden.
And it's very easy to operate.
And very simple.
Now, you may need some help to build it.
That's for sure.
You know, a single cinder block weighs about 16 pounds, which is something that a woman or a small child can maneuver.
You don't have to glue these in place or anything.
You just stack them up and build them.
So I really try to focus these systems for, again, people who are older, out of shape.
So it really is true.
Everybody in America, everybody, all of your ancestors, everybody used to have a little kitchen garden and some chickens and, you know, maybe a pig or something.
I mean, this used to be the way we lived.
And it, you know, it didn't take up your whole day.
You know, it does take a little bit of time, but not a whole lot.
Yeah. So, you know, you don't have to be afraid of it.
Well, it takes less time than waiting in a food line.
Absolutely. For what?
For stuff that's completely toxic and devoid of nutrition?
Yeah, right, exactly.
Why not grow your own?
I'm thinking about the collapse of Venezuela and for many years, people would literally wait in line eight hours in front of a grocery store and they were doing biometric scanning to make sure that you only bought your allotted amount, which was like a little cup of rice and maybe once a week you could buy a chicken or half of a chicken.
I forgot what it was.
Folks, if you don't learn to grow some of your own food, if you don't have self-reliance in your food, you're going to be under the control of the government.
They're going to surveil you.
They're going to limit you.
And Marjorie, I'm convinced that what Trump is actually driving us toward is a UBI with a CBDC.
So the impoverished masses are going to be given a UBI.
They're going to print digital money and give it to people.
But that UBI is going to be controlled with a government-run wallet, which can then easily limit your purchases of food.
I totally agree.
I mean, that's actually been a public plan that they've talked about for the longest time.
You'll own nothing and be happy, remember the whole economic form?
So, you know, another interesting thing about that, I was reading some of the stuff, is it the Rockefellers or the Carnegie Institute?
They're talking about the future, and they're saying that, You know, gardening and backyard food production would only be something that the very wealthy did.
I thought, that's really interesting.
So, you know, by the way, I did a whole series of interviews with...
Very, very high-level accomplished people.
So like a CEO of a young tech company with $25 million in round-day seed funding or a guy who was with a health insurance company and he had a division of 2,000 people below him.
You know, these kind of people.
Very, very extremely high-caliber, high-production people.
And the one thing they had in common with that was that they all grew some of their own food.
Now, these people could clearly afford anything they wanted.
But they did it just for the sheer joy of producing something real and the taste of it.
Homegrown food, you just can't buy that.
Forget Whole Foods.
You can't buy it, right?
Yeah. Well, and also, let's talk about medicine here for a second.
One of the things that I started doing a couple years ago was growing mulberry trees because they're so easy to grow.
And the mulberries that they produce, of course, are very rich in anthocyanins.
And I like the real dark, black mulberries for that very reason.
But also, they drop their fruit, so I planted them near my chickens so the chickens can just forage mulberries all day long.
And they can get that extra nutrition.
But when I get a chance to pick them, Then I get this powerful nutrition.
And anthocyanins have numerous benefits, including blocking the receptor sites for spike protein on many of the human organs, by the way.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Yeah. So growing mulberries can actually help you survive a pandemic or vaccine shedding or whatever bioweapon they're dropping on us.
So talk to us for a moment, if you would, about...
Some of the things that you teach about growing medicine.
Well, one of the presentations we have in here, and this is offered by one of my best friends, Stephanie Sison, who is an amazing herbalist.
And she has 12 medicinal herbs that you can grow and how to grow them and how to use them, what they're good for.
And this is, again, basic beginner herbalism, you know.
Just the incredible value of a mint tea or how to take care of a fever or some of the really basic stuff that comes up in a family.
And I really recommend starting small with things that you already know about.
For example, I tend to get busted ribs because I play dangerous sports.
Are you still doing jujitsu?
I am still.
I just had a competition last Saturday.
I don't know if you can see this here, but that girl was cranking on my neck.
Oh, man.
I took a...
I do a funny aside.
The organizers texted me the day before and said, hey, do you mind if we put a heavier girl in your bracket?
She doesn't have anybody to roll with or whatever.
And I'm like, sure, why not?
And then I took silver and the girl, she beat me.
When I was training in jiu-jitsu, the instructor also paired me up with a really heavy Latino girl.
And as a guy, then you're stuck because you can't really fight back.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you fight back, it's, you know, it's abuse of women.
But, I mean, she had the strongest legs and she cranked my neck into this, like, leg triangle.
And it was like, okay, come on.
Just give me a guy to fight with so at least I can just exert, you know, effort.
But anyway, that's a totally different story.
I'll tell you what, though.
A lot of people in the gym are like, I want to be you, because they know I'm 62. And I'm a fair, real competitor in this sport.
In fact, the two girls that I was competing against, one was 24 and the one that won was 34. They're not holding back.
This is a competition.
We're not trying to hurt each other, but we're trying to win.
And it's fierce.
I mean, I was wrecked for the next day.
Absolutely. It was real fierce.
Everybody's like, that's amazing.
I get people in the gym that are turning 40 and going, oh, I'm getting old.
I'm like, don't say that.
That's not true.
And everybody, how do you do it?
And I'm like, it's very simple.
Start growing your own food.
You absolutely have to.
The food supply is either completely toxic and devoid of nutrition.
I mean, actually, both of those.
I'm astonished that people are still alive.
I know.
It's horrible.
I know.
Let me share something else with you, just a tip for the audience, but something really useful for you.
To my crew, can you point the camera at this chlorine dioxide over here?
I just want to show this because what I did, Marjorie, is we bought some glyphosate weed killer and then we made some chlorine dioxide with this vial here using the...
You know, the Saffrax tablets that I think you're familiar with.
I got some of those, yeah.
Yeah, awesome.
So what we did is then, there it is.
It's the, oops, this jar right here, right?
So that's chlorine dioxide that we're making right there.
And my water and my smoothie and my trillion dollars of currency, collapsed currencies.
And my Rubik's Cube.
This is pretty much my life is like right here.
This little set.
But anyway, we took one milliliter of this.
Just here.
Here's the pipette, right?
So we just took one milliliter with this pipette, okay?
And then we put that in a vial of glyphosate and water.
And then we had a standalone vial with the same starting concentrations.
So we just added one mil to a 50 mil vial, okay?
And then we...
Sent that to my lab where we have the mass spec, the triple quad instrument that does the glyphosate testing.
Comes back.
The chlorine dioxide destroyed 73% of the glyphosate.
Oh, wow.
But it would probably also destroy almost all of the life in the soil if you were putting it into the soil, like the microbial.
Oh, yeah.
No, I'm not talking about putting it into soil.
I'm talking about if you buy fresh produce from the grocery store.
You should wash that stuff.
Rinse it off.
I get it.
With chlorine dioxide water.
I get it.
It'll probably denature perfumes and pesticides and glyphosate from the surface of all those vegetables.
But it won't penetrate and go in and harm all the nutrition of the produce.
Yeah, no, I get it.
I don't ever buy produce at a grocery store.
You should.
If you're buying produce there, that is a really good...
That's a really good tip.
I love it.
And it kills E. coli, you know, and it kills, you know, all the bacterial strains.
That chlorine dioxide is amazing.
I've got a bunch of it, and I've got it as a backup prep because, you know, cleanliness in collapse is like we take for granted the high level of hygiene we have.
But as we get into collapse...
Municipalities are not going to be spending their budget on maintenance.
And in fact, I did a really great interview with Fernando Aguirre, who lived through the Argentinian collapse, and he said that was the first thing that started to happen, is people were showing up with all kinds of really strange diseases that you wouldn't expect even in Africa or India, but it was because they couldn't maintain the sewer system or the water supplies,
and everything was just getting horribly, horribly contaminated.
So that is, you know, something we'll...
If we're not already seeing it in our major cities, you know, that's what's coming.
Yeah, exactly.
You start to get the breakdown of the basic sanitation services.
And, of course, when people start getting sick, the vaccine industry will say, it's those anti-vaxxers.
They did it.
It's all those unvaccinated people.
Or we've got another vaccine we'll make for you in 48 hours with an AI.
Oh, good grief.
Trump. Why?
Oh, well.
Don't get me started.
More mRNA.
But, okay.
Then you also talk about foraging.
So I think this is critical, too, because when you're getting started growing your own food, you know, there's a time delay, obviously, to being able to harvest.
But you can go out and...
Forage almost immediately depending on the season, etc.
Talk about foraging.
Absolutely. So there's a lot of food out there that you're just not aware of.
Or some people actually think it's a problem.
Like, oh my god, that's staining my driveway.
Or your attitude will change about that very quickly.
But there's a ton of it.
One of the most common that's like the best calorie source anywhere are just simple acorns.
There are no poisonous lookalikes.
Everybody knows what an acorn looks like.
Super easy to gather.
Very easy to process.
It's high in fat and high in protein, which in backyard food production or in food production in general, fat is the most difficult macronutrient to produce.
After that is protein.
Like, for example, in fat, you never see a fatty vegetable.
You're not getting there.
So it's fat and then protein.
And then carbohydrates are pretty easy to find and grow.
And then there's fiber everywhere and there's greens everywhere.
But learning a little bit of botany, like what plants are what, reconnects you to nature and to your environment.
And there's likely a lot of food growing all around you already that's available.
This is just a basic introduction of how to get into foraging and learn a few things.
There's definitely some safety issues you want to be careful about.
I think one of the bonuses we put in there is called the universal edibility test.
So even if you can't identify it, there's a series of tests you can do to determine whether you're going to be able to eat that or not.
Yeah, a series of tests that may induce vomiting, if you've made a bad choice.
I mean, if you think about it, supposedly we're all descended from hunter-gatherers, so somewhere in your lineage, somebody was doing this, right?
Right, right.
And I'm glad you mentioned acorns, too, because that answer keeps popping up any time I interview food experts or foraging experts.
And acorns, I just want people to understand, acorns are easy to identify, like you said.
They're easy to treat, you know, to get the tannins out, soaking them in water.
And then when you're done and you have this acorn meat that, you know, you grind it, you mash it into a powder, you dry it.
It's like flour, right?
I mean, you can use it for anything where you would use flour.
Yeah. Pancakes, baked goods, tortillas, whatever.
Once I started making acorn pancakes, I was like, forget you, Aunt Jemima.
I'm not going to ever eat that again, you know?
Totally. It's delicious and it's nutritious.
And the thing is, you're...
Your body and your tongue, you recognize deep mineral content.
There's a taste and flavor profile to foods that you've grown yourself or that you've wildcrafted that you just can't get from the grocery store or from restaurants or anything like that.
That's right.
I've been to some great restaurants, and initially I'm like, wow, this tastes really good.
But then I'm like, wait a minute, there's something missing.
And they did a really good job seasoning it.
But the meat was not fundamentally raised well, and you can ultimately taste it.
Yeah, exactly.
And the mineral deficiencies, which you sort of mentioned there, are really widespread across grocery store food.
Oh, it's real.
A hundred years ago, we have almost nothing now compared to what we had a hundred years ago.
In the 1950s, when we were about the halfway mark, But really, since 2000, one example of that is when I was a kid growing up, my mom might give me a carrot to have a snack, be quiet, quit asking questions.
For me to get that same amount of nutrition into my kids or grandkids now, 11 carrots.
You need 11 carrots.
Wow. So it's really paltry.
There's nothing left.
I also would say on that, by the way, if you're the kind of person who says, I don't like vegetables.
I just can't.
I'm going to tell you, you have never really eaten vegetables.
Like, I never really liked squash that much until I started growing my own.
But the flavor and the taste of something that's homegrown is just night and day to that pasty cardboard imitation that's in the grocery store.
Yeah, true.
It's funny because I grew up where my grandmother would grow and pan fry okra.
You know, which is typically more of a southern food.
But I grew up with pan-fried okra that was really delicious.
And then I never knew store-bought okra until many years later when, I forgot who it was, someone had bought some store-bought okra.
I'm like, that's, you call that okra?
That's nothing.
What is that?
That's like, it looks like someone abused it.
It got run over by a dump truck.
But growing okra is so easy.
It's one of the easiest things to grow.
You just have to harvest it quickly before it gets too large.
You just got to get on top of the harvesting, but it's super easy and it's got protein in it.
It's got the seeds.
Yeah, there's another indication for you too.
I'd like to talk to people about when growing gardening.
Here's a very simple breakdown of the time that you need to put in.
In the beginning of the season, That's about where 40% of your time is going to go in, and so that's going to be either building the beds or adding the soil or adding compost or, you know, kind of cleaning things up, refreshing things, getting them ready for the next season.
That does take a bit of time, maybe over a weekend or two, right?
You know, I'll get out over a couple of hours.
Throughout the growing season, it's only about 20% of the time that you need for weeding and checking on things, maybe knocking a few bugs off, right?
And especially if you're growing in these raised beds like I recommend, it's very small and very manageable and very compact.
But then the part that always surprises people is you need about 40% of the time for harvesting and processing.
Because, like you were talking about, the okra, really, you have to be on okra every day.
That's right.
You get to go out there and harvest okra every day.
Same thing with green beans, man.
You turn around and those things are just, you know, they're prolific.
So, squash, you know, you do have to be in there and, you know, be picking it and then maybe washing or processing or something like that.
So, people are often surprised by that, but...
And then again, I've totally lucked into people who had a big garden, grew the whole garden, and then just said, oh, we just didn't realize.
And do you want anything?
And I'd go in there and harvest a bunch out of their garden.
I just didn't realize.
So true.
Yeah, I'm guilty of that, growing too much stuff.
But you have a whole section in your course about preserving food.
So let me give out the website again.
It's brightu.com.
If you go to brightu.com, you can register to watch the entire docu-series.
For free, or again, you can optionally purchase.
And it's 11 days, and it's got a lot of bonus materials.
We'll get to that in a second.
About 10 e-books are included, plus a lot more.
But talk to us about what you teach in the course about preserving food.
Yeah, so this is a wonderful dialogue that I had, and I'm not sure if it was Melissa or Jill, but anyway, we're both extremely experienced homesteaders, you know, 20 years apiece.
And we go over the nine different ways to preserve food that we know.
Freezing, canning, drying, freeze drying.
And we talk about what we actually use practically every year and what things that we've tried and then we just no longer use anymore.
So you get to sit in on a conversation with two extremely experienced You know, homesteaders on what works and what doesn't work.
And I really, really, I mean, food preservation is so important, but you don't have to wait to the harvest.
So one of the strategies right now to build your backup food supply, and yes, I know Mike's got a lot in the store, definitely buy some, but is go to a local farmer and say, hey, you know.
Can I buy a couple of crates of tomatoes from you or crates of green beans or whatever?
Can you sell me in bulk?
Can you sell me 50 pounds of this?
And then go home and either can it or dry it or freeze it or preserve it in some way.
And that way you've got just another level of high quality food and you've developed a skill.
So I really, really recommend get started.
You can get started learning how to preserve food right now.
You don't have to wait until you've...
Grown food.
Can I ask you about, I want to ask you about pickling.
Okay. Because what I love about pickling, and back to my grandmother who grew okra, she would can a lot of things.
And she had a half underground root cellar, and all spring and summer she'd be canning and everything, and then we'd be eating that through the winter, because that's how you survive in North America.
But she also pickled some things.
And what I love about pickling, but I'd love your response to this, is you don't need technology to function in order for the food to stay preserved.
So what I don't like about freezing is the freezer has to work, and you have to have a power grid functioning.
And if that fails, that's catastrophic.
But pickling, you don't have to worry about it.
What are your thoughts on the ease of pickling?
Yeah, I love that.
Now, I do.
I'm a big fan of freezing.
And I actually, my strategy with that, and I will get to pickling in a second, is I have like three of these medium, small size freezers that are like seven cubic feet.
And then...
I will fill one up, and then I'll fill another one up, and then I eat out of the first one because I am just not the woman who can date things.
I'm just not that organized.
I always wanted to be one of those people, but I'm not.
So I just put a bunch in one, and then I eat out of it and put a bunch in the other.
You know what I mean?
I rotate by the freezer.
That makes sense.
The other thing is, as you eat one down, you can just consolidate.
But the other thing is, if it is getting low, I pack that thing with gallon jars of water to what we call thermal mass.
So I always make sure that the freezer is full, even if it's not full of food, that it's always full.
So that way if the grid does go down, which it does all the time here in Puerto Rico, for even a couple of days to a week, I just don't open the freezer, throw some extra blankets on it, it's going to be fine.
The other thing is that these are so energy efficient now, I have a small backup.
I just keep it running as I need to.
So I do love freezers and I agree with you.
I'm really not into high tech.
And rather than pickling, my favorite way actually because you get another nutritional boost out of it is fermenting.
So actually I just did that right now.
There's a whole bunch of bok choy coming in.
In my friend's gardens and at the farmer's market.
And so I'm taking bok choy and chopping it up.
And it's so simple.
I put it in a quart-sized jar, chop it up into, you know, reasonably small pieces, put some good clean water in there and then a tablespoon of salt, shake it up a little bit, have a light lid on it because you're not wanting to, you know, it's going to start off-gassing and you don't want to create a bomb.
And, you know, you'll watch it, and in a few days it'll start bubbling and bubbling and bubbling, and then after a little while it'll be fermented, and it just ferments from whatever's in the air.
I mean, this is age, age-old tradition.
And it will do well for months and months and even years if needed.
In fact, I did one experiment one time.
I had some red cabbage, and I made a bunch of it.
And even in my pantry in Central Texas, which...
It was a little cooler in the summer and a little warmer in the winter than the ambient temperature, but it was still pretty hot and pretty cold.
I finally opened it up four years later just to see.
It was mushy, but it was still good.
It was still edible.
Fermenting, if anything, stock up on quart-sized mason jars with lids.
That's a really good point.
Reminds me to ask you that question.
Given that we're having a China We're having a supply chain collapse.
Right now, there are a lot of people panic buying things that they get from China.
And I'm one of those people, but I'm panic buying Ethernet cables.
Because for my AI data center, I'm like, what if there's no Ethernet cables?
So that's what I'm doing, which is hilarious.
But in terms of food and self-reliance, what should people...
You mentioned mason jars.
Is there anything else that comes to mind?
Well, yeah.
By the way, when we did a survey of Grow Network members and we said, how many mason jars do you have?
And, you know, I've got several hundred.
And most of us actually do.
And other people are like, that's crazy.
Why do you need several hundred mason jars?
And I said, well, think of it this way.
Let's say I grow enough green beans to have a quart-sized jar of green beans for my family every week, which is a wonderful, you know, side dish.
Well, there's 52 weeks in a year.
I need 52 jars just for one vegetable side dish.
So you can see why 300 mason jars is not at all out of the range of possibility.
That doesn't sound crazy to me at all.
But I'm one of those people that also owns hundreds of mason jars.
I drink it.
This is the largest mason jar that you can find.
There you go.
Me too.
I just made my...
Perfect. Or we'll tee you out of that, yeah.
I mean, I'm drinking out of them all the time, and sometimes I don't do the dishes as often as I should, so sometimes they pile up and then I get them all clean.
So I need more jars for that.
But yeah, for food preservation, a few hundred mason jars makes a lot of sense.
Yeah. Well, I'd really recommend they watch the grow half, because I show you what you need to get going with chickens and rabbits and a garden and stuff like that.
Buy all of those supplies.
Including seeds.
And get them set up and get the livestock, right?
That is vitally important that you get livestock.
As we've seen with the chicks.
You know what was interesting, though?
Actually, I really recommend people don't start from baby chicks.
It's so fun.
Those chickies are so fun to raise up.
And it's such a great homeschooling thing.
But a laying hen takes six months to get to age to where she's laying.
And, you know, we don't have six months.
And what was interesting, while all the chicks were sold out, All of the hatcheries across the U.S. I called a bunch of them.
What was interesting is I went to Austin, Phoenix, and Philadelphia, and it turns out there were laying hens available on Craigslist.
Oh, wow.
It's kind of like the toilet paper thing.
People don't have any common sense anymore because nobody's got this kind of experience.
I'm trying to prevent my chickens from hatching.
You know, because I don't need any more roosters, you know, is the bottom line.
I've got just the right number of roosters.
I don't want to hatch any more roosters because they'll fight with each other and they'll tear up the hens, you know.
So I'm like, no hatching!
I've got it all perfectly balanced right now.
No hatching.
Actually, you know, raising baby chicks to laying in age is a small side hustle.
You can make a pretty good living out of selling laying.
I mean, that's what those people...
Craigslist for doing.
But I only buy organic chicken feed, so it costs a fortune.
Here's a $100 chicken.
Oh, by the way, Mike, one of the bonuses in the kit, if people buy it, is a video on how to produce 100% of your chicken feed for free.
Justin Rhodes did that for me one year during a summit we created.
You know, chickens eat anything.
They eat a lot of stuff, and you can, you know, insects, and there's still lots of waste in the system that the chickens would love to eat, and yes, I'm very conscientious about making sure that they eat quality stuff, and this is just a really great inspirational show that shows you how you could do this without even any money,
because chicken feed is getting more and more expensive.
Oh, yeah.
But just as a side note, though, if you're just getting started, And you've never raised chickens before, buy the chicken feed for now, right?
Because you've got too much else to learn.
You've got to get the watering system.
You've got to learn the routines.
You've got to get the hens settled in.
You've got to get a routine of visiting with them and watching them.
My chickens forage in a very large area, but then I supplement with organic feed also, which also has supplemental calcium in it that helps them.
You know, for the eggshells.
But that's why I'm growing the mulberry trees, you know, like I said, for the chickens.
And there's some other things around, like figs.
I've got hens that when those figs turn red, the hen will fly up into the fig tree, eat the fig, and then fly back down.
I'm like, wow, that's a very entrepreneurial chicken.
And that's where all my figs are going.
That's where all your figs are going.
That's what the bird netting got created for.
Yeah, a mulberry tree by the chicken coop is a classic, and that's like instant just drop down.
You don't have to do nothing.
And there's other food.
Yeah, there's lots of other ways to feed them.
But some people, like for a while there, I would have a pan of water at night with a light bulb above it, and the insects are attracted to the light bulb, and they hit the pan of water, and then they're stuck there.
So I just take that pan and give it to the chickens in the morning, because it's loaded with insects.
That's interesting.
There's a lot of really interesting ways that you can...
Actually, I'm so excited.
I want to get some baby duckies.
And I normally don't recommend, again, from raising from babies, but ducks, who are a good alternative to chickens...
The breed I'm getting is khaki camel, and they're known to be super flighty.
And so what I'm going to do is raise them as babies, and I'm going to spend a lot of time with them.
And this might be compensation for my own empty nest syndrome with my kids, but I don't care.
I'm going to have these little baby chickies.
And so right now I'm starting up a worm bin because I know that they love earthworms.
So I'm starting a worm bin to be able to make homegrown treats for them.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah. Well, fantastic.
All right, so again, it's right.
Let me go to one other.
You did mention one other thing.
I really, really strongly recommend people buy a backup food supply, and I know you've got those buckets, and I've actually bought those Ranger buckets from you more than a few times, and for family and friends.
But get backup food supplies.
I mean, this is real.
Absolutely. It's happening.
It's this year.
You're going to see those prices moving up very soon.
We've already been seeing it.
It's going to be escalating.
If nothing else, you're just going to save money, right?
You're definitely not going to be wrong.
And then on the other hand, you may be able to eat when you thought you couldn't.
So please get back up food supply and then start learning to grow food and preparing food and foraging food and all the things that we're teaching here.
There's also another presentation in here on how to build community and find like-minded neighbors.
So if you don't know how, how to find the people who do, right?
But please, please, Please get started now because this is it.
We're in it.
This is going to be your last chance really to get into this in the easiest and most fun way to do it.
It's just going to get harder and harder from here on out.
Yeah, exactly.
Now, I want to talk about rabbits for a second because I know that part of your philosophy is to grow rabbits in hutches as a meat source.
Now, I don't do that, but I have created over the years Terrain full of briars for rabbits to hide in, right?
So I've created a really rabbit-friendly environment, and now, Marjorie, we have so many rabbits.
I feel like I'm living in Australia being overrun by rabbits.
But my dogs, one of my dogs, which is a blue healer, her nickname is the Bunny Gobbler because she finds the small bunnies and she gobbles them, swallows them whole.
Oh, yeah.
It's like, oh my god, you didn't even chew it, you know?
Yeah, I've seen that.
It's crazy.
Anyway, she's the bunny gobbler, but I've got dogs that chase some of the rabbits, which I guess is natural selection.
The slow rabbits don't breed because they're meals.
But I've got to say, I've created an environment even far outside my dog's ranges where it's rabbits galore.
Just because I don't use.24D, I don't clear-cut anything, and I let the natural habitat grow.
So I kind of have a place, like if I were starving, I'd just take my rifle out there, right?
I think that's wonderful.
I think that's wonderful, yeah.
I also experimented for a while with what's called a rabbit colony, where you create that kind of environment, but it's enclosed so that you can trap them if you want to.
And then, you know, where I lived in central Texas there, we had gopher mounds everywhere, and I used to look out over that pasture, and I'm not exactly excited about eating gophers.
But I used to look at that as like a backup food store.
I was like, this thing is loaded with gophers.
I think the venison will get wiped out pretty quick.
There's a lot of really good hunters out there.
We saw that in Arkansas during the Great Depression.
They wiped out every...
Every deer in all of those forests there.
And I think it was like in the 1950s that they started to reintroduce deer back into that area to where they now have them again.
But they were gone completely because those boys hunted them all out.
And we'll see that again.
I bet the famous Texas boar will also become a very rare creature.
That would be some accomplishment.
If they actually managed to thin out the wild hogs, I would be impressed because they reproduce so rapidly.
And they eat.
They forage.
Wild foods all day, and they're good at it.
Yeah. They used to give you, like, if you could bring in an ear from one of those guys, they'd pay you, like, $5 or something like that to show that you'd killed it.
But I think the wild boar are going to get, I mean, there's a lot of people who are, they'll be hungry, and, yeah, they'll have a hard time.
I was at a feed store here in Central Texas.
They actually had to sign, like, $5 reward for wild hog tails.
Oh, the tail.
Okay. And so I was joking with the guy there.
I said, oh, well, that explains why I keep seeing all these tailless hogs running around.
That must be a lot of work to catch them and cut their tails off, you know?
Risky business.
I used to think of it as free bacon.
I didn't see it as a problem at all.
You know what you guys talking about, right?
Oh, my.
All right.
Well, anyway, so lots of bonus items.
You've got 10 e-books.
You've got 50 free fertilizers and much more.
Folks, just sign up at brightu.com.
That's bright and then the letter U, brightu.com.
It begins streaming April 26th, and it's 11 days free, or if you optionally purchase it, you get all the bonus items as well.
With other items, videos and...
Is there anything else I should mention in the bonuses?
Yeah, the other book.
It comes with a physical book called The Grow System.
Yeah, and this has in there, it has the method for growing half.
It also has a whole other section on getting started with home medicine.
There's a wonderful story in there, Chapter 9, with the snake bite story.
I think I've talked to you about that, where I got bit by a copperhead.
And I have found that kids love that story, especially like 9 to 11-year-olds.
They love that story, so if you want to get your kids inspired and started on maybe a more self-reliant lifestyle, and I think the reason was because my daughter at the time played a prominent role in helping me recover from that snake bite,
And it's a really empowering story for kids.
know, I could be a really useful person even if I'm still young.
So, yeah, so the growth system.
It's getting a lot of really good reviews.
Okay, so Marjorie...
I'm just so thrilled with what you're doing and the fact that you're able to so effectively teach this to people.
And also, your systems keep getting better.
You and I have known each other for many, many years.
And even over that period of time, you have refined, you've kind of filtered out stuff that was more time-wasting, but really got to the most efficient processes.
And that's what you're sharing today.
I hope people realize that this saves them 10 to 20 years of...
Absolutely. Yeah.
Or, you know, trying a bunch of stuff from YouTube and then realizing they didn't know what they were doing.
You know, you don't have time for that, right?
You want something that's tried and true and vetted and everybody in this, myself included, you know.
Years and decades of experience being presented here.
The real deal, like what works, what doesn't work, what you need to focus on, what's important, what you should put aside until later, and what you should completely ignore altogether.
So it's really time.
It's really time to do this.
Yeah, absolutely it is.
Well, speaking of time, we're out of time for today.
I can't believe it.
It always goes so quickly, but I really appreciate you taking the time to share this wisdom with us, Marjorie.
Yeah, thank you, Mike.
I mean, this is a calling for me, and to get an opportunity to talk to you and all of the Bright Healing community, I really thank you.
It's an honor and a pleasure, so thank you.
Thank you so much.
We appreciate you, Marjorie, and we'll talk again soon.
Be safe, have fun with the baby duckies.
I know you're going to have a blast with that.
That's awesome.
I am.
But it's great to talk with you today.
All right.
See you later, Mike.
Okay, take care.
And for all of you watching also, I'll just add, we're about to release Brighteon.ai, which is our free AI engine called Enoch, and it is trained extensively on gardening skills and know-how and seeds and food and food preservation.
So it would be a great additional aid that can help answer your questions to go along with Marjorie's course.
And again, you'll have access to it for free very, very soon.
The engine's actually done.
We're just building the public interface for it right now.
But the nice thing about buying Marjorie's course is that you can download all the files and you can have them stored locally on your computer.
So if the internet goes down and you don't have access to online things or anything in the cloud, you can just watch Marjorie's videos and you'll have the physical book in your hands.
To look at, to read.
So you want that book on the shelf, you want those files on your computer, and you can get all that at brightu.com, or you can, actually, I think you can buy it in advance at brighteonuniversity.com, all spelled out.
You can even buy the whole thing before it starts streaming, if you wish.
But thank you for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams, and just want to wish you all well, and whatever's coming, pretty sure the dollar's going to zero.
So start growing food now if you want to make it through.
That's my advice.
Thanks for watching today.
Take care, everybody.
The economy's tough.
Trade embargoes are underway.
Trade wars.
The supply chain is taking a beating.
A lot of people are losing jobs right now.
So what are we doing to help you be able to afford clean food and high-potency nutrition?
Well, here at HealthRangerStore.com, we've just launched a program called Buy More, Save More.
And if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash save, that's all you have to enter in, healthrangerstore.com slash save, you'll see that we have 209 products on this special program, which gives you an automatic discount coupon code when you purchase a higher quantity.
For example, Health Rangers Hawaiian Azazanthin right here.
You click on that, and this is your normal savings of 29% or...
You can go here and you can buy more, save more.
You can buy 3%, get 5%, buy 6%, get 6%.
We don't have massive margins on these, by the way, but these savings are significant.
And then if you click, grab this deal, then it adds that to your shopping cart and it puts the discount code in there automatically.
So there's your discounted price.
Buy more, save more on all 209 products that we have available.
On this program, everything from chlorella to nascent iodine, concentrated mineral drops, as you can see, many, many items.
We've done this for you.
Now, you might ask, how can we do this when all these tariffs are kicking in on China, like 150% tariffs, and so imported products from China are going up in price?
Well, guess what?
We don't import anything from China except, I think, goji berries.
But we've been China-free in our supply chain, or almost 100% China-free, for many, many years.
So we are not impacted by these high tariffs from China.
Now, there are 10% tariffs on products from other countries, and we do source different materials from different countries, just depending on the material.
For example, we get our non-GMO vitamin C out of the United Kingdom, because we don't buy GMO vitamin C from China, which is the cheap vitamin C that everybody else sells.
So we have high-end, non-GMO vitamin C. And yeah, it's more expensive, but it's not going up in price because we're not hit by the tariff.
So this is why we're able to put together these savings for you and actually pass along discounts at a time when almost all the other retailers are hiking their prices because they source almost everything from China.
It's kind of like the dirty little secret of the nutrition industry.
From China.
From, you know, herbs and vitamins and nutrients and amino acids and all of it.
Most of it actually comes from China, folks.
So that's going to get very expensive.
But we're able to help save you money with this program.
Buy more, save more.
So check it out again.
It's at healthrangerstore.com slash save.
And you can scroll down and see everything that we have available for you.
So many different solutions.
Everything from personal care products to here's Manuka honey.
And here's our tooth salt, and here's whey protein, and broccoli sprout powder high in natural sulforaphane, which is an amazing molecule.
You know, so much more, right?
Food, supplements, storable foods, superfoods, personal care products, home care, all kinds of products available on this program.
Buy more, save more, and trust me, you're never going to see lower prices than this for the future.
Because, well, you know, inflation, the dollar's collapsing, so everything's going up in price no matter what.
But thank God that our supply chain has banned Chinese suppliers for many, many years, you know, again, except for goji berries, which come from the Tibetan high-altitude regions of China.
So thank goodness we made that decision many years ago so that our products are not skyrocketing in price, even during this trade war.
So yes, you can stay healthy.
You can have outstanding nutrition, outstanding superfoods.
You can boost your preps during this trade war by shopping with us at healthrangerstore.com slash save.
