	Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News with Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	This is going to be one heck of a broadcast I've got lined up for you.
	Welcome. It's Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the founder of brighteon.com and naturalnews.com, etc.
	And, wow, wait till you see what we have for you here.
	And isn't it interesting that yesterday...
	As I was watching gold very nearly approach $3,500 an ounce, as you may recall, I said, I can't recommend buying it here because it just seems like it's climbed so quickly, so fast that it's going to pull back, you know, going to be probably a correction here.
	And sure enough, it went down $150.
	So there's a lot of volatility in gold, which is highly unusual.
	But I think at this point, My guess is that gold is going to reconsolidate.
	It might go a little bit lower.
	I mean, I'm just guessing.
	I'm not your financial advisor.
	But I figure it's going to reconsolidate somewhere here in the $3,300 range.
	Probably hover around here for a few days, bouncing around.
	Might go below $3,300.
	But then it's going to continue to climb in dollars.
	Because the dollar is collapsing.
	Look at the Dixie, which is the...
	That's the index of the dollar versus other world currencies.
	It's like fiat versus fiat, and even fiat versus fiat, the dollar is losing value.
	So just be careful.
	Be cautious with everything you do.
	And know that even metals are starting to move around very rapidly.
	And so there's some risk in it, but I still think there's way more risk staying in debt, which is the dollar.
	The dollar is an instrument of debt.
	Anyway, this is not about finance here today.
	I've got a couple of things here that are just fascinating.
	Let me give you a table of contents here.
	Let's just let this play out,
	you know?
	That's the premise of my special report.
	We'll play that.
	I've also recorded a new video under the microscope with the now two weeks of the incubated Dr. Jane Ruby sample of the chemtrails fallout.
	And as you may know, previously we had identified three different life forms on this sample.
	And then I made a mistake and I accidentally let it dry out.
	And so I...
	Rehydrated it and re-incubated it.
	And I checked it earlier today, not expecting anything, really.
	And I just popped it under the microscope.
	And what I found now is a whole new life form that I call digital ferns.
	You're about to see something that is freaking mind-blowing.
	It's zoomed in to about 1,500 times magnification.
	And I'm describing it visually as, like, ferns with circuit boards.
	Now, I'm not claiming that's what it is.
	They're obviously not ferns.
	These are microscopic, much smaller than ferns, but they look like ferns, okay?
	In fact, I'll just show you one of these right now, and then we'll get into the video here shortly, which is maybe 15 minutes in duration total, something like that.
	But I was absolutely shocked by what I saw here today.
	So let me show you just a little teaser photo.
	All right, you see this image, folks?
	Now, remember, this is zoomed in.
	This is magnified about 1500x.
	And you're going to see an even more clear image in the upcoming video.
	But this is what is growing in the Dr. Jane Ruby sample.
	And this is a top-down view.
	So this is what...
	It's growing alongside the hatched eggs or whatever they are.
	This is the stuff it looks like.
	And what I'm about to show you in this upcoming video is absolutely mind-blowing.
	So stay tuned.
	Now I've got one more slide to show you here before.
	These are just teasers.
	You're going to see the full video coming up.
	But this one, which I call Chemtrails Ferns 2. This shows one of those diploid egg-like structures that appears to be separating, and then the growth of this, what I'm calling the digital fern, right next to it.
	This is not photoshopped.
	This is actually, they are next to each other.
	These are the proper sizes.
	And this magnification is actually greater than 1500.
	This is, I think, roughly about 1800 times magnification.
	And here you can start to see the...
	Either the crystalline-type structures or digital or nanostructures, and you're going to see a lot more examples of this coming up.
	So it's bizarre to me that every time I turn on the microscope and look at this incubated sample, there's a new life form.
	It's like, what?
	I thought we were going to have zero, and now we have, what, four?
	At least four?
	Actually, we saw more today.
	So there's like five or six that we've spotted so far.
	But let me play something for you.
	Got a video for you that I just filmed in the studio before I even started today.
	Let me show you this short video.
	I think it's a minute or something.
	Just to give you a big picture view of what I'm doing there at the desk, which is becoming overly crowded with lab science experiments and everything.
	But check this out.
	Here we go.
	Hey, I just wanted to show you behind the scenes here at the Brighteon Studios.
	Of course, this is Mike Adams.
	Today, we're about to start filming about the aluminum levels and calcium carbonate that's in all the various oat milk products.
	We're going to be shooting that.
	And then, right here, this is the incubation of the Dr. Jane Ruby chemtrails fallout sample.
	You can't see it there, but it's growing more stuff.
	I can see it with the naked eye.
	We've got new stuff there.
	We're going to be looking at that.
	This water...
	Here's just kind of what my setup looks like here.
	We're going to be using this microscope of course to look at the Jane Ruby fallout sample.
	This we're going to be blending up chalk to show people about the calcium carbonate that's actually in these oat milk products.
	And then this is a hot plate where we have this Pyrex dish and we're going to pour xylitol into it.
	We're going to melt the xylitol and then we're going to freeze it at which it freezes at room temperature.
	And we're going to do that under the microscope so that you can actually see the crystals forming in real time.
	And that's my water bottle.
	That's my smoothie.
	That's my statue of Archangel Michael.
	This is my chlorine dioxide.
	Those are my goldbacks.
	Like, this is...
	Oh, and that's a really powerful magnet right there for an experiment that I'll keep as a surprise.
	But this is what it looks like, folks.
	This is the Brighton Studio.
	It's going to be a fun day.
	All right.
	Yeah, so today I did film the analysis of all those oat milk products, by the way, and I'll play that video probably for you either tomorrow or the next day.
	But what we have coming up for you today is I have the interview with David Dubine about global crop failures that are accelerating now.
	That should be bizarre.
	I've got two special reports.
	I've got a BrightLearn book review video, and then I've got that microscopy video that I promised you just there.
	You're about to see some shocking, shocking things from that.
	And then I've got a little bit of a discussion up front here.
	So let me start there with the discussion.
	Just covering today's news.
	Very interesting.
	Some of it's quite disturbing.
	But let me start out with something I posted.
	I have a new way to deploy the golden rule.
	And you know that...
	I care about human life.
	I care about halting human suffering.
	I care about protecting all human beings, especially the innocent, especially innocent children.
	And so I've come up with a new golden rule, and here it is.
	Well, here's the tweet I sent out.
	I've deployed a new variation of the golden rule.
	I treat you the way you treat Palestinian children.
	If you have no heart, humanity, or dignity for Palestinian children, I give you no quarter and have no pity for you whatsoever.
	That goes for all the demons.
	Huckabee, Levin, Netanyahu, Trump, all of them.
	If you cannot recognize the universal humanity of children, then you are not human.
	You are a demon.
	And I'm going to treat you like the demonic entity that you are from this day forward.
	And I apply this rule to everyone, including my interview guests, family, and friends.
	I am evicting any and all demons from anywhere near my orbit because I refuse to associate with satanic evil.
	My goal is to protect and defend human life, to help end human suffering, and especially to protect the innocent.
	Anyone who rejects that goal is simply not worthy of being recognized as a human being.
	And that's my tweet.
	And this isn't a matter of opinion.
	This is a matter of humanity.
	And I'll just say it again here.
	To anybody out there listening, and to anybody considering being a guest on my show, if you cannot recognize the humanity of the Palestinian children, then you are not human, and I will not recognize you as a human being.
	And I apply this universally.
	So it's really great to have a simple rule of thumb for how to sort out demons from humans.
	A very effective way to do it.
	Because, you know, a human being would have empathy.
	A human being would have compassion.
	A human being would say, all children deserve life.
	All children deserve life.
	Because many of us say we are pro-life, right?
	And you heard my new song recently, which I'm going to play for you here.
	Why are we bombing children?
	In fact, you know what?
	I want to play that song, and then I'll go to today's news about the tariffs and What are called intermediary goods.
	So to my editor, let's go ahead and play that song, Why Are We Bombing Children, with the music video.
	Here we go.
	We say we value life, but we don't need it.
	We say...
	Life begins at conception.
	Children need our protection.
	We protest abortion clinics.
	That snuff our life We say it's wrong to kill a baby In the womb but then we say maybe It's okay to kill when God is on our side It doesn't seem
	consistent With scriptural traditions To condemn other children just to die If we're pro-life Why are we bumming children?
	Something isn't right when They use our weapons to kill them If we say God loves us Then why do we act like villains?
	If we're pro-life Why are we bumming children?
	Why are we bumming children?
	Are we?
	Weapons snuff out life.
	Women, children set alight.
	But you're condemned by calling it genocide They want to silence your voice Snuff it out like the girls and the boys They've buried under rub until they died
	This Christian contradiction Exposes all the fiction The empty faith of pro-life men who lied If we're pro-life, why
	are we bombing children?
	Something isn't right when they use our weapons to kill them If we say God loves us, then why do we act like villains?
	If we're pro-life, why are we bombing children?
	Why are we bombing children?
	Why are we bombing children?
	The light of God won't clean you The rapture won't redeem you Jesus can't be swayed by empty lies Heaven won't await you God himself,
	he hates you And all the death you celebrate with pride If we're pro-life, why are we bombing children?
	Something isn't right when they use our weapons to kill them If we say God loves us, then why do we act like villains?
	If we're pro-life, why are we bombing children?
	Why are we bombing children?
	Why are we bombing children?
	We are the ones who are acting like villains We make the bombs that murder civilians We are the ones that God condemns And you can't change his mind by singing hymns Either stand for life with consistency Or prepare to face
	eternal purgatory We'll all be judged by the Lord one day And you know you can't pray Immorality away If you stand for life
	Why are we bombing children?
	Why are we bombing children?
	We can't bomb our way to heaven We can't kill our way to peace And when
	Christ returns Your evil burns And drops you to your knees To stop you from bombing children You know
	you can't kill our way
	You know you can't kill our way to heaven Woo!
	Kick-ass song.
	Love that song.
	Took me a little bit to put that one together, but I hadn't done a hard rock song yet, and this really nailed it.
	The right song, the right vibe for the right message.
	If we're pro-life, why are we bombing children?
	Alright, so you can download that music for free.
	Download the mp3 at music.brighteon.com and share that everywhere that you'd like.
	I've also posted the music video on Twitter and other platforms like brighteon.social.
	Alright, now along those lines, this is so freaking bizarre and strange, but this is true.
	This is actually what's happening.
	The NIH has put out new rules.
	And this is under Trump.
	This is under Secretary Kennedy.
	Okay, the new guidelines released by the National Institutes of Health, all medical researchers that are funded by the United States government will have their funds terminated if they support any boycott of Israel.
	So they can boycott a U.S. state.
	They can boycott another country.
	They can boycott China or Iran or Russia.
	But if they boycott Israel, all their grant money will be yanked.
	And as Glenn Greenwald says, a cancer institute could be close to developing treatments or cures for cancer or Alzheimer's, but will lose NIH grants unless they certify that they don't support a boycott of Israel.
	So Israel is the new science.
	Israel has replaced Fauci as the science.
	And if you don't support Israel, you will lose all funding, science funding, under President Trump and Secretary Kennedy.
	Although I don't know if Kennedy is aware of this.
	He may not be aware of it.
	I guess we'll find out coming up.
	But how insane is this?
	That now, I mean, this is crazier than the climate change science stuff.
	Where under the Democrats, if you didn't support climate change cultism, you didn't get any funding.
	Under Trump and the Republicans, if you don't support Zionism, you don't get any funding.
	See, we've swapped out climate cultism for Zionist cultism.
	We've swapped out left-wing authoritarianism for right-wing authoritarianism.
	We've swapped left-wing censorship for right-wing censorship.
	We've swapped out left-wing mass mutilation of children with transgenderism for right-wing mass bombing of children with the IDF and Zionism.
	Nothing has changed.
	Nothing has changed.
	It's all exactly the same.
	They just changed the logos and the teams and some of the names.
	It's the same thing.
	They're always mutilating children.
	They're always murdering children.
	It's just a different group of people involved in the whole thing.
	Now, let's talk about economics.
	But isn't that crazy news?
	Did you ever think that the Republicans would say that now all your science has to be pro-Israel?
	Like, what?
	That's bonkers, man.
	All your science has to be pro-Israel now.
	Just freaking unbelievable.
	But, hey, our country is occupied and we've been infiltrated and conquered by the Zionists.
	Okay, that's where our government stands today.
	It's absurd, but it's real.
	Okay, now speaking of that, let's shift gears to economics.
	Now, Trump, of course, has placed these insane tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the United States.
	On some products, 245% tariffs.
	On other products, 145%.
	And then plus, there's a $1.5 million...
	Punitive fine for every Chinese-made ship that docks with any U.S. port.
	They have to pay $1.5 million right off the top in addition to the tariffs.
	This is an embargo against the United States.
	Not against China, because China can sell its goods to all the other countries in the world.
	Everybody but America.
	And everybody wants to shop with China because China makes the stuff that the world consumes, you know?
	It's incredible.
	So, well, Trump rolled out a new insanity in the last 24 hours where he's putting 3,000% tariffs on solar panels from China.
	3,000% tariffs!
	That means the panel will go up 30 times in price, which means you'll never get solar panels from China.
	So, that's over.
	Forget it.
	And who knows?
	Trump will probably slap 3,000% tariffs on, you know...
	Toaster ovens or appliances or anything else, you know, garden hoses, whatever.
	If you want to buy it, there's going to be a big tariff slapped on it.
	Now, this policy from Trump is completely insane.
	I mean, we're entering the realm of mental illness, like some kind of crazy, insane psychosis.
	That's the only way to describe it at this point.
	And if you understand anything about manufacturing, and I don't think Trump does.
	I mean...
	He's good at real estate.
	He's good at making deals, etc.
	He knows real estate.
	He knows property development.
	He knows golf courses.
	He does not know manufacturing products because if he did, he would know that nobody makes everything used in their product.
	So there are what are called intermediary goods that are components that are used in other goods that are then finished for the marketplace.
	Let's say there's a company in the United States that makes refrigerators.
	And I don't know that there are, but maybe somebody makes refrigerators somewhere in America.
	Who knows?
	But to make the refrigerator, you've got to have like a compressor.
	You have to have some circuit boards.
	You have to have some LED panels, right?
	Display panels.
	You have to have buttons and controls and certain types of materials and coatings, right?
	You have to have insulation material.
	Maybe it's like a spray foam insulation, an expanding polyurethane foam or something.
	You have to have these basic components in order to make a refrigerator.
	You have to have electric wiring and cabling.
	You have to have circuit breakers and fuses inside the refrigerator, etc.
	Okay? Even if you make the refrigerator in America, where are you buying all those parts?
	You're buying those parts from China.
	And sometimes other countries.
	Like, yeah, maybe get some parts from Japan.
	Maybe some from Taiwan.
	Maybe Korea.
	Maybe Vietnam.
	You know, Indonesia.
	But a lot of it is going to come from China.
	Because that's where they have the cost efficiencies of manufacturing these components at scale.
	So, again, even if you're a U.S. manufacturer of appliances, you have to buy intermediary goods from China to have the LCD display panels or LED displays, you know, the circuit breakers, the fuses, the cabling, everything that I just mentioned.
	The pumps, the maybe electric motors that you have in like a washing machine, you know, a clothes washer or a dryer or something, the heat elements, etc.
	All that comes from China.
	So since U.S. manufacturers are now somehow expected to pick up the slack and to make everything that we can't get from China anymore because Trump has enacted this trade embargo against America, Trump is expecting that in America that we would be able to make everything from scratch,
	like, hey, here's a pile of copper, aluminum, just a bunch of minerals.
	You know, here's some steel.
	You know, here's some iron ore.
	Here's a pile of carbon.
	You know, basically the table of elements.
	Now, make a refrigerator, you know.
	What? You can't do that.
	It would take decades.
	You've got to build the extraction facilities, the refining, the smelting, the formation, and then all kinds of high-tech equipment in order to turn.
	Minerals into things like power cords or expanding polyurethane foam.
	You have to have massive chemical factories in order to do that.
	And we don't have those for the most part.
	We don't have those in America.
	So since American manufacturers won't be able to get intermediary goods from China, American manufacturers will go bankrupt.
	They will go out of business.
	So Trump is actually shutting down American manufacturing.
	But who in North America will be able to buy those components from China and make refrigerators?
	Hmm, let's see.
	Look to the south.
	Mexico! And look to the north.
	Canada! Interesting, right?
	So our neighbors to the north and south, who are fellow Americans, right, because we're all in the Americas, Whether you're talking North America, Central America, or South America, we are all Americans.
	So Canadians will be able to make refrigerators.
	Mexicans will be able to make dishwashers, appliances, toasters, etc.
	But not Americans.
	So what Trump is doing with this tariff is he is actually gutting American manufacturing and giving a strong competitive advantage to Mexico and Canada.
	And also, you know...
	Brazil and Chile and Bolivia and whatever, you know, Panama even.
	And all these other countries will have this massive advantage where they can get parts from China, but America cannot.
	And then Trump wants to call this 4D chess, or at least his supporters do, and it's completely and utterly insane.
	American companies will not be able to make much of anything.
	We're talking about a near total shutdown.
	of American manufacturing within the next four months.
	By summer, you are going to see so many shelves empty in America, and you're going to see mass bankruptcies, mass layoffs, mass joblessness, and homelessness.
	You're going to see revolts in the streets, angry marches by displaced citizens.
	You're going to see mass desperation, food lines out the door, food banks overrun.
	You're going to see chaos in America this summer if Trump doesn't reverse this.
	Trump has put America on the path of total economic destruction.
	This is an economic apocalypse for America because Trump doesn't understand supply chains.
	He doesn't understand how things are made.
	And even our own company, we make everything in Texas, but...
	We don't make the lids of the bottles in Texas, and nobody makes them anywhere in America.
	Those come from China.
	That's right.
	Even in our own company, which is China-free, nearly China-free on all of our actual food materials, raw materials and supplements and everything, we don't buy anything from China except really goji berries, maybe a couple other minor things that we can't get anywhere else.
	But in terms of the packaging, oh yeah, a lot of that does come from China.
	We're not going to be able to get that.
	And nobody makes it in America.
	So where are we going to be in four months, too, by the way?
	Where are we going to be?
	We're going to have product, but we can't put the lids on it.
	Thanks, Trump.
	We can't put lids on it.
	So what are we going to have to do?
	We're going to have to go to Mexico and find a Mexican company that sells the exact same freaking lids that we're not allowed to offload from a ship in a port in California.
	Because Trump wants to penalize the ship and charge 245% tariffs on plastic lids.
	So that ship is going to sail down to Mexico, offload it there.
	Some Mexican company is going to buy those lids for pennies on the dollar.
	And then they're going to mark it up 500% or whatever and charge us a much higher price for lids because, well, they have all the transportation costs now.
	So they're going to load up a truck in Mexico and they're going to...
	Spend all the money on diesel road miles, and they're going to drive that truck across the border through, you know, legally, it's a commercial load from Mexico, and then they're going to deliver that load from Mexico, and we're going to end up paying double or triple the price for the lids.
	The same exact damn lids made in China, now delivered by Mexico, at double or triple the price, which means that the prices of our products to you, the consumer, are going to go up.
	Not down because of Trump's trade embargo against America.
	So we are going to be living under basically a declaration of war against our economy by our own president.
	That's what this is.
	I can tell you how this is going to play out because I am not only am I a high IQ person that pays attention, but I'm in this business and I've lived in Asia, you know, and I speak Chinese and I pay attention to this and I I speak enough Spanish to get by,
	too. And I talk to people, high-level people in business, about what's going on.
	And I can tell you, right now in China, there are trade shows taking place.
	There are trade shows where the international buyers are all figuring out one thing.
	And that is, how do we route Chinese goods to other countries first and then bring them into America?
	That is the conversation that's happening right now.
	Everywhere. I mean, you're going to have goods.
	Bouncing through Canada to America.
	Bouncing through Mexico to America.
	Bouncing through Taiwan.
	Through Korea.
	You know, through Japan.
	You name it.
	They're going to bounce products around and all the prices are going to double or triple.
	And then that's going to cause inflation.
	And it's all because of Trump.
	And so you're going to have scarcity.
	You're going to have business interruptions.
	And Trump's going to put out of business all the U.S. trading companies that would normally import these products from China.
	They're all bankrupt, man.
	They're completely going out of business.
	You're going to have total economic collapse of that industry, which is largely centered on the West Coast.
	California, businesses are going to be wrecked by this.
	And a lot of U.S. manufacturers are going to suffer long delays where they can't make products and ship products.
	So this is what's coming.
	And this is a form of economic suicide by our president.
	And again, he could reverse it.
	But if he doesn't reverse it, the damage is going to be absolutely historic.
	So I've got a special report here that I'd like to play for you that fleshes out more of these thoughts.
	It's called China Will Not Attack America because Trump is already destroying it from within.
	I mean, if you're China, you're like, we don't need to attack America.
	Let's just, like, roast marshmallows and watch, you know?
	Trump's doing it!
	So here we go.
	Here's a special report.
	China will not attack America because Trump is already destroying it from within.
	I want to talk about Trump and China and game theory.
	Because once we understand this, I think it will tell us a lot about exactly where things are going.
	So Trump is a master negotiator.
	No question about it.
	Art of the deal.
	He's the author.
	If you look at the way Trump negotiates with people, most of his life in real estate and television and even in politics, most of it has been bluffing people and just being very intimidating and asking for outrageous things as you're opening round of negotiations.
	And it works.
	It works for a lot of people a lot of the time.
	And it also has worked for Trump in politics.
	After all, he got elected.
	Three times now.
	And it works in real estate.
	It works in, you know, American business.
	It doesn't look like it's working with China.
	And that's where things fall apart.
	Because in order to effectively bluff your opponent, you actually have to be holding the superior cards.
	And your opponent must also know that you are holding those cards.
	So in this negotiation with China, I would argue, and I think it's pretty obvious, that America doesn't hold the cards.
	America, in this relationship with China, America represents the consumers, the people who buy stuff and who consume stuff.
	China represents the makers, the builders, the people who produce things.
	Which side of that equation is easier to replace?
	And the answer is the consuming side.
	You know, even Peter Schiff said it the other day, anybody can consume.
	You don't have to have a special group of people to be consumers, especially when your consumption is largely paid for using debt that you simply printed.
	So you don't have to actually produce anything in exchange for the goods that you're getting.
	All you had to do was print currency, create debt, and then trade that for goods.
	That's easy.
	In fact, it's so easy, anybody can do it.
	What's hard in this equation is making stuff, having the supply chain, having the skills, the machinery, the know-how, the infrastructure, the domestic supply chains, which includes domestic transportation infrastructure, the shipping ports, the ships, you know,
	all of it, right?
	All that together, that's hard.
	That has taken China decades to build.
	The United States used to have that in the 1940s, the 1950s, even the 1960s, and part of the 70s.
	And then the U.S. let it go for many decades now.
	And in order to build it back would also take decades.
	So Trump doesn't hold the cards.
	Also, the United States owes China almost a trillion dollars because China's holding, what is it, $950 billion in treasuries.
	Holds the debt that the U.S. owes to China.
	That doesn't put the U.S. in a grand negotiation position.
	Rather, it shows that the United States is fiscally weaker in this equation.
	In addition, China has a larger economy than the United States, especially in terms of producing physical goods and a lot of commodities, such as rare earth minerals.
	And, of course, China has a much larger population.
	By far, it is like three to four times larger than the United States in terms of population.
	And in terms of graduating scientists and people good at math and engineering, China graduates 400% more at least.
	China is leading in the vast majority of the technologies that drive the world.
	And China doesn't have woke universities.
	You know, China's leading the game.
	By far, China's actually building infrastructure.
	China invested its money into infrastructure and universities and factories and roads and bridges and ports, while the U.S. spent trillions on war.
	Oh, let's have a war over here.
	Let's have a war over there.
	War in Ukraine.
	War in the Middle East.
	War in Iraq.
	War in maybe Iran soon.
	War with Israel.
	The U.S. blows money on war?
	Feeds its people a bunch of toxic processed food to create an obese, cognitively impaired population that can't do math.
	And that's not true in China.
	Chinese people can do math.
	They can do math on the abacus, okay?
	Clickety-clack, clickety-clack.
	They're doing, like, advanced multiplication with their fingers and pieces of wood.
	Yeah, Americans can't even do math with a calculator.
	They're just...
	They're completely mathematically illiterate, for the most part.
	Americans can't do, for the most part, again, they can't do engineering, they can't do science, can't do chemistry, can't do math, can't work in factories.
	Again, there are exceptions to this, just to be clear.
	There are some bright people in America, but the numbers pale in comparison to China's numbers.
	There's just no comparison.
	So Trump thinks he's holding all the cards, and he's wrong.
	But he's just so used to bluffing everybody that he's continuing to just try to bluster his way through this thing.
	And it's not working.
	And China knows that America doesn't have the cards.
	Now, here's what's interesting to me.
	A few years ago, I thought that it was a high-risk scenario.
	That China might invade the United States, or at least have some kind of incursion from either Mexico or Canada.
	And I was convinced of that, and I think there was a much higher risk at that time.
	But the situation has changed dramatically, to the point where today, I don't think China has any dreams of invading the United States.
	And the reason is...
	Why would they when Trump is destroying America for them?
	Trump is causing more economic damage than China could ever hope to achieve, even if it wanted to.
	And by the way, attacking America in America is obviously foolish, just like if the U.S. were to try to attack China in China.
	You know, that would not work.
	Whatever military forces the U.S. expended on that would be completely obliterated by the Chinese military and the Chinese Navy and the Chinese Air Force with their advanced jet fighters, advanced missile systems, etc.
	So the U.S. Navy dare not even touch China because anything close enough to China's shoreline would be exterminated.
	And the Navy knows that.
	What is it, the Fifth Fleet, I think?
	Tooting around over there, trying to act like they're hot stuff.
	Yeah, China could destroy the Fifth Fleet.
	I mean, it was Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense, who said that in about 20 minutes, China could destroy every U.S. aircraft carrier that we have, every carrier group, every destroyer, every significant ship that we have.
	China could destroy it all in minutes.
	And so could Russia, too, by the way.
	It's not just China.
	The U.S. doesn't hold the cards, is my point.
	And Trump doesn't seem to realize that, but China knows that.
	And that's why I believe that China is saying, we don't have to give in to Trump.
	We're just going to say no.
	And we're going to let Trump just destroy America and see how long he wants to do that.
	Now, I know there are a lot of U.S. pundits and writers I've seen saying, oh, China is on the verge of economic collapse.
	And in years past, I have done articles and content talking about China's real estate market, the over-leveraging in real estate.
	What was it called?
	Evergrande. And that whole situation, which did cause a lot of damage, but it was contained.
	It did not bring down the Chinese economy.
	It did not bring down the Chinese government.
	I know Americans love to say that, well, China is communism.
	I think Jeffrey Prather was saying this.
	China is communism and communism doesn't work.
	And I didn't really get a chance to address this with Jeffrey because we were distracted by other topics.
	But actually, China isn't being run as straight communism.
	China is a hybrid solution that...
	China has a lot of components on the market side of free markets.
	You know, a lot of entrepreneurism, for example.
	And I'm not claiming that China is a free country, but neither is America.
	In America, you can be a student on a student visa and a van can pull up from the State Department and kidnap you, yank your visa and deport you because you said something in a student protest that the Zionists in Israel don't want to hear.
	And that happens in America.
	So, you know, don't tell me that, oh, America's a free country.
	No, it isn't.
	Not even close.
	I mean, I'm in a lawsuit with the federal government because I was named and targeted for censorship in America.
	Don't tell me America's a free country.
	Bullshit. And don't tell me China's communism because that's not actually the way it's operating.
	It's a hybrid solution right now.
	Actually, China sees itself.
	As operating under socialism, not communism.
	Socialism, and it describes it as harmony.
	Which, yeah, to you and I, that sounds like a little bit of propaganda.
	Harmony? Well, yeah, as long as you're loyal to the state, I suppose.
	But it's socialism with free market components.
	Whereas America is authoritarianism with...
	Almost no free markets allowed because the government gets involved in everything and regulates the crap out of everybody.
	And then the government hands out money to the companies that it likes and then, you know, attacks the companies that it doesn't like.
	So, you know, don't tell me that America is a free market system.
	It's not.
	Nonsense. And don't tell me that China is a communist system because it isn't.
	The reality is way more complex than that.
	That China is outproducing America by far, and China is not going to collapse because of Trump's tariffs.
	Now, China's exports to the United States, I've heard figures anywhere from a low of 15% of all of China's exports go to the United States to something like 25%.
	So I don't know what that number actually is exactly, but let's just, let's say it's 20%.
	So one out of five exports, you know, currency-wise, yuan goes to the United States.
	Now, if the U.S. blocks everything from China, does that hurt China to lose 20% of its exports?
	Yes, absolutely.
	That does hurt China.
	Can China find other buyers for a lot of that capacity?
	Yes, they can.
	And I'm just going to estimate, bear with me on this, I'm just going to estimate that they can make up half of that by finding other buyers.
	So that would mean that now we're down to China losing only about 10% of its exports, really, after a little bit of a chaos period.
	But see, the thing is, China holds the cards because it makes the stuff that everybody wants to buy.
	The whole world shops with China.
	I mean, everybody.
	Everybody needs to buy something that's made in China.
	And that's true whether you're in the Middle East or Central or South America, Europe, Australia, everybody.
	India, Turkey, Iran, Russia, whatever, right?
	So China trades with everybody.
	And if they don't trade with the United States, that is not an existential threat to China.
	And China knows that.
	And China knows that it's extremely difficult for the United States of America to bring online any kind of production capacity that could replace what China has been doing for America, which is making the stuff that Americans buy and consume.
	But America, in reality, obviously can't replace that.
	And while America can go to a lot of other countries and say, hey, can you sell us?
	The answer for many products is going to be, well, no, because it's only made in China.
	China dominates that sector.
	And that could be like resins or plastics, let's say.
	I mean, I was talking about this the other day.
	We have bottled products that we sell at our store, and some of them have pump spray lids.
	Some of them have round plastic lids.
	Plastic containers.
	Well, polyethylene, really, is what it is.
	High quality.
	That doesn't leach, you know?
	Where is that stuff made?
	China. Now, could somebody make it somewhere else?
	Maybe. I don't know.
	We've never bought it anywhere else.
	And as much as, you know, we don't buy raw materials from China, hardly at all, in terms of food and supplements, but we do buy packaging materials from China.
	Why? Because that's where it's made.
	Because it's not made in America.
	Believe me.
	I love my country.
	If I could buy all that stuff in America, even at double price, I would have.
	I would have been buying it from America the whole time.
	But nobody makes it in America.
	So, again, don't tell me that we can just stop buying from China and start buying from America.
	We could just be patriots.
	We could just make America great again.
	Okay. You give me the website and the phone number of where I can go in America to buy lids and pump spray tops and everything for personal care products and nutritional products, you know, pump nozzles, all that stuff.
	You tell me where I can buy that that's made in America, not just imported in America.
	Because anybody can find a company that imports it from China.
	And I already know that.
	That's the same as buying it from China, and we're not going to have that stuff.
	And, you know, some trolls will just go on Amazon and buy it.
	It's made in China.
	And what does that mean?
	It's not going to be on Amazon for very long, is it?
	No. So I might be in a situation where I have all kinds of great nutritional products.
	I've got the equipment, I've got the lab testing, I've got everything.
	Don't have the lids.
	Why? Because Trump has blocked China.
	And if I call the White House and say, hey, Trump, where should I buy the lids?
	What's the answer going to be?
	Oh, wait until 2028 when the lid factory comes online in America.
	Really? You want me to just shut down my business for three years and wait for the lid factory?
	Yeah, that's not going to fly.
	And actually what you're going to have is mass bankruptcies of businesses across America.
	I mean, that's what, I mean, not us.
	Fortunately, we're not leveraged.
	We don't have loans and debts and leverage and all kinds of crazy stuff like that.
	But we will lose a lot of business, which we can survive it, but most businesses can't.
	And so what Trump has done is he has condemned American businesses to bankruptcy in insane numbers.
	And as that kicks in, you're going to see that happening all this summer.
	Unless Trump backs down, obviously.
	If he backs down and says, oh, just kidding, you know, I'm not going to do the tariffs.
	Well, that's different.
	And then China would say, yeah, I thought so.
	Yeah, that's what I thought, you know.
	And then Trump would go crawling back to President Xi begging for forgiveness.
	Please drop your tariffs on U.S. goods, you know.
	I'm so sorry.
	That's what Trump...
	We'll have to do.
	Otherwise, he's going to put America on the course of total economic destruction.
	And you're going to have mass business bankruptcies.
	And then guess where most businesses get their loans from?
	You know, their credit for cash flow to buy inventory.
	Banks. They get it from banks.
	Commercial banks, right?
	Commercial loans.
	So banks all across America, which are already reeling from the failure of commercial real estate, Because in the post-COVID era, nobody goes to work in the office anymore.
	Those same banks are now going to get hit with a wave of financing defaults and total bankruptcy by small businesses all across America that don't have anything left to sell because it all came from China.
	Or, like our situation, they do have stuff to sell, but there's one piece from China that they don't have.
	So they're missing.
	One piece.
	And that's a problem.
	And because of that one missing piece, obviously, then they can't sell the products.
	So you're going to have mass bankruptcies all across the board for all of this.
	And that's where this is headed.
	So the America that you are about to experience is going to feel like a third world country.
	You're going to have empty shelves, massive scarcity, including food scarcity in many cases.
	You're going to have mass bankruptcies, mass job losses.
	You're going to have people having to abandon boats, tractors, and cars, and construction equipment because they're missing one part that makes it run.
	One switch, one circuit breaker, whatever is made in China.
	You're going to have...
	A halting of a lot of commercial construction, residential construction, because they can't get the parts from China, can't get the polyethylene pipe, you know, for plumbing, can't get the conduit for electrical work, can't get the resins for roofing and flooring and whatever,
	because it all comes from China.
	And you're going to see America grind to a halt in large part.
	Not 100%, obviously, but...
	This is going to impact medicine, telecommunications, technology, government, housing, agriculture, everything.
	Literally everything.
	Because everybody buys something from China.
	So Trump's not holding the cards.
	Trump is holding a grenade and he's pulled the pin.
	And he's about to drop that grenade on the American people.
	Right here.
	It's 4D chess.
	You know, 4D chess.
	Looks like you pulled a pin on a hand grenade there.
	You know, economically speaking.
	So it's not 4D chess.
	It's a 3D hand grenade.
	This is what's coming.
	Mass impoverishment.
	And from that probably calls for his impeachment and, you know, the Democrats will win the midterms and the GOP will be finished for 20 years.
	And the only way out of this is for Trump to start a war.
	Either a war with Iran, Russia, or China.
	Those are the three.
	Take your pick.
	Maybe he'll try all three at once on some kind of suicide mission.
	The U.S. can't win any one of those wars, much less all three.
	And we could be looking at the complete defeat and the end of America, the end of the U.S. empire, the end of the dollar.
	And it's funny because my prediction for seven years has been that Trump will be the last president of the United States of America.
	Now I can clearly see how that almost prophecy could come true.
	This country may not survive this Trump administration.
	So, you know, hang tight there, folks.
	It's going to get interesting.

	Thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Take care.
	All right, next we are going to pivot here to the science side of things today, and I'm going to show you this.
	Microscopy video that I filmed earlier today showing the new life forms that are growing out of the incubated petri dishes from Dr. Jane Ruby, or at least the original plastic sheet sample collected by Dr. Jane Ruby, and she'll be joining me for an upcoming video analysis as well as this thing continues to grow.
	This is insane.
	I call these things digital ferns, but I know they're not ferns.
	You know, don't...
	Don't troll me over that.
	He thinks they're ferns.
	No, no, no.
	They look like ferns when you magnify them by 1,500 times because they're kind of fractal.
	They look like fractal growth patterns, which is very fern-like.
	So I'm just calling them digital ferns because they look like they have circuit boards in them or something, too.
	I'm not saying they're circuit boards.
	But wouldn't it be great if they could grow circuit boards?
	Then we wouldn't need to import circuit boards from China.
	Then the makers of the refrigerators could just grow circuit boards.
	From fallout, from the sky.
	Hey, chemtrails, let's just grow the circuit boards for the appliances.
	Wouldn't that be great?
	But no, that's not what this is.
	They're not actually circuit boards.
	So check out this video, which I filmed just a few hours ago in my studio, and you're going to be freaking blown away.
	Check it out.
	Welcome to today's lab science update here at the Brighttown.com studios.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	And we have been incubating this sample from Dr. Jane Ruby, who collected it from what she calls, I think, Chemtrails Fallout or maybe Mystery Fog.
	It's from the West Palm Beach, Florida area.
	We've shown you a couple of times some different microscopy images from this sample.
	And today we're going to show you what's new because we've been incubating it now for at least a week and a half.
	I may have killed it, at least I thought I killed it, because...
	It dried out.
	Yeah, there's the incubation chamber, which is a chicken-egg-hatching incubator.
	Turns out to be great for this experiment.
	Highly recommend it.
	It even rotates it every once in a while like you want to do chicken eggs.
	So I thought I killed it because it ran out of water.
	That was my fault.
	And then I looked at it today, and it's come back to life.
	Let's back up here.
	Let me start from the microscope image, if you could show that.
	So here is what it looks like before incubation.
	And this is a live image on my microscope right now.
	Look, it looks like a marshmallow.
	This is zoomed in of this sample right here.
	That is...
	I mean, it's interesting.
	You can zoom around.
	You can look at all the weird stuff.
	But this is the sample dry, okay?
	Before incubation.
	Let me...
	Let me change the lens to zoom way out.
	There you go.
	There's what it looks like dry, okay?
	It's still pretty interesting.
	There's a lot of weird stuff in here, but it gets way more interesting when you start to incubate it.
	This is the plastic that we were just looking at under the microscope, okay?
	And so, just to prove it to you, I mean, it looks like you can't see really anything here, but I'm going to put it under the microscope right now.
	There it is.
	Okay, so that's what I was just showing you, and then we can zoom in with the microscope.
	But this piece of plastic, again, this is dry, this has not been incubated, so now I'm going to set this aside, and we're going to show you the incubated Jane Ruby sample, and then we're going to incubate this sample.
	In addition, we're going to start a new incubation of this one with saline solution.
	me go grab this.
	all right so now we're going to place this sample which you can probably even see right now it's growing some something some additional stuff we're going to put this under the microscope i haven't seen this myself for over a week and we're going to have a look around and see what's going on here all right and now we can we can start to look around and we can just try to get a sense of what's here so Wow,
	right away, some of this is pretty interesting.
	So these blobs, I don't remember seeing these large blobs before.
	These blobs are definitely different.
	But what I'm really noticing is some freaky stuff around the edges.
	So these colonies, whatever these are, are apparently growing in some pretty large numbers.
	So I think we should take a look at these.
	Let's see if we can figure out what this is.
	Okay, this is clearly brand new stuff.
	We did not see this any other time that we looked at these images.
	And just to be clear, this is growing in the auger.
	And I had sort of rinsed the plastic with saline solution.
	And so this is growing off the plastic at this point.
	I don't know what this is.
	It's definitely alive.
	And it's definitely getting larger.
	This is also interesting, if you look in here, how it's growing these, like, strands or fins or, I don't know, what do you call this?
	Like, weird-looking feather things?
	Hey, and that looks like one of those weird eggs there that may be hatched.
	You see that?
	Let me zoom in on that.
	So that's there, and then around that has grown up all this crazy stuff.
	Whatever this is, I don't know.
	But it's got structure, and it's clearly, wow, what is this stuff?
	It's clearly alive, okay?
	So if anybody had any question of whether this is alive, the answer is yes.
	This is absolutely alive.
	All right, let's cruise around.
	Now, this sample has kind of dried out quite a bit right now.
	But it has left behind a lot of interesting structures here.
	What do you even call this stuff?
	Little coral reefs.
	Which, I'm not saying it is, obviously, but it looks like that.
	That's freaky.
	What do you suppose that is?
	This is some of that dried out mold that we showed last time.
	This kind of hairy mold stuff.
	There we go.
	Now you can see it quite clearly.
	Like little spider webs.
	Okay, that grew since we started incubating it.
	Well, I don't know what this is, but I don't want to be breathing it in.
	Whatever it is, it's falling out of the sky.
	Oh, this is interesting.
	Wow. Holy moly.
	Well, this is an interesting growth pattern.
	I don't know what this is, but it's part of what's growing.
	More egg hatchery stuff, it looks like.
	And then this is very mysterious.
	This looks like, to me, it looks like some kind of life form.
	There's another interesting, wow, that's a really interesting view.
	Doesn't that look like something out of aliens?
	Looks like the aliens are hatching.
	That one looks like it has a face.
	Looks like it's going to come out and have a conversation with you.
	What do you think now, guys, huh?
	Oh, here's another example of that.
	What is that?
	Doesn't that look like some kind of nanostructure?
	Well, what can you say?
	All kinds of weird life in here.
	Holy, look at that.
	Isn't that like fractal geometry?
	Look at that.
	Okay, so there's an overview of what we've seen here.
	Again, this is the sample from Dr. Jane Ruby sent from Florida.
	And, you know, we could spend hours going through this.
	It's a mystery realm.
	But clearly it's alive and it's continuing to grow.
	So what I'm going to do here today is I'm just going to add some more saline solution to it to give it some, you know, some additional liquid.
	And then I'm going to put the other sample that I showed you earlier in the Petri dish.
	There it is.
	Yep. I'm going to put the saline solution on that and we'll put them both in the incubation.
	And then we'll check them again.
	Here we go.
	we go.
	Alright, now we're incubating those at human body temperature.
	And you see it's rotating right there.
	The auto-rotation.
	Always spooky when that starts moving over there.
	It's human body temperature.
	We are using a grill light on it now to give it some photosynthesis potential.
	And I think that's what caused it to dry out.
	So I think we've got to back the light off quite a bit so it's not right on top of it.
	I think it got a little too hot, a little baked, you know?
	So we're going to do that, and then we'll bring you an update next time.
	So thank you for watching today.
	Mike Adams here at brighttown.com and naturalnews.com, where you can find all the photos posted at Natural News.
	Thank you for watching today, and I want to thank Dr. Jane Ruby for providing and collecting this sample and joining me for analysis.
	We'll have her back on when we get to the next big aha stage on this.
	Thanks for joining me today.
	Take care.
	Alright, next I have for you the Bright Learn book video for today called Jabbed, How the Vaccine Industry, Medical Establishment, and Government Stick It to You and Your Family.
	This is a video review of a book by Brett Wilcox.
	Great book.
	Great author.
	This is amazing.
	So check out this brightlearn.ai book review video.
	And remember, you can watch all these videos for free at brightlearn.ai.
	So here we go.
	We're taking a journey into the heart of a controversy that affects us all, vaccines.
	Specifically, we're going to explore the eye-opening revelations presented in Brett Wilcox's book, Jabbed, How the Vaccine Industry, Medical Establishment, and Government Stick It to You and Your Family.
	Now, I know this is a topic that can stir up strong emotions, but remember, our goal here is to inform, to question, So, let's jump right in.
	The book opens with a chilling confession from Dr. William Thompson, a senior scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC.
	Thompson admitted to omitting crucial data that suggested a link between the MMR vaccine and autism, particularly in African American boys.
	This revelation sent shockwaves through the scientific community and raised serious questions about the integrity of vaccine research.
	Imagine being a parent, trusting the very institutions meant to protect your child's health, only to discover that those same institutions might have been hiding the truth.
	It's a betrayal that cuts deep, and it's one that Wilcox doesn't shy away from exploring.
	Wilcox himself shares a personal journey that began with skepticism towards the biotech industry, particularly Monsanto, and evolved into a deep dive into the world of vaccines.
	His transcontinental run across the USA was not just a physical journey, but a mission to educate others about the corruption he saw within the industry.
	And corruption is a word that comes up often in jabbed.
	Wilcox paints a picture of an industry rife with conflicts of interest, where profit often seems to take precedence over public health.
	He cites numerous examples, from the suppression of data to the intimidation of whistleblowers like Thompson.
	One of the most compelling aspects of the book is Wilcox's exploration of the concept of herd immunity.
	He challenges the notion that mass vaccination is the only path to protecting public health, arguing that the evidence is far from conclusive.
	He points to studies suggesting that unvaccinated children may actually be healthier, suffering from fewer disorders than their vaccinated peers.
	Now, I know this is a contentious point, and it's important to approach it with an open mind.
	Wilcox isn't saying that vaccines are entirely without merit, but he is urging us to question the one-size-fits-all approach that dominates current vaccine policy.
	And this is where the book really shines.
	Wilcox encourages readers to think critically, to ask questions, and to demand transparency from the institutions that govern our health.
	He argues that the vaccine paradigm is deeply entrenched.
	Often resembling a religion more than a science, with its own set of unquestionable doctrines.
	But amidst the criticism, there's a call for compassion.
	Wilcox acknowledges the fear and uncertainty that parents face when making decisions about their children's health.
	He emphasizes the importance of informed consent, urging parents to educate themselves and to trust their instincts.
	The book also delves into the history of vaccines, highlighting instances where vaccines have caused harm.
	From the infamous Cutter incident, where live poliovirus was inadvertently included in the vaccine, to the ongoing debate over thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative, Wilcox presents a case for why we should remain vigilant,
	and vigilance is crucial.
	As Wilcox points out, The vaccine industry is a multi-billion-dollar enterprise with immense influence over government policy and medical practice.
	The potential for conflicts of interest is enormous, and the consequences of unchecked power can be dire.
	So, what can we do?
	Wilcox offers several suggestions.
	First, he encourages readers to educate themselves using credible sources.
	Second, He advocates for transparency and accountability from vaccine manufacturers and regulatory bodies.
	And finally, he calls for a more balanced approach to vaccination, one that respects individual choice and acknowledges the complexity of the issue.
	Ultimately, jabbed is a plea for a more nuanced conversation about vaccines, One that moves beyond the polarized rhetoric and embraces the diversity of perspectives.
	It's a reminder that in the pursuit of health, we must never lose sight of the values that underpin our humanity—integrity, compassion, and respect for individual autonomy.
	Thank you for joining me on this exploration of Jabbed.
	I hope this episode has sparked your curiosity and encouraged you to think more deeply about the issues at hand.
	If you found this discussion valuable, please share it with others and continue the conversation.
	And don't forget to check out the resources and advocacy groups mentioned in the book for more information.
	Until next time, keep learning, keep questioning, and stay curious.

	All right, so I'm going to skip the second special report today just in terms of the time that we have here because I want to get to the interview with David Dubine.
	This is a really important interview.
	Before we get there, I just want to give credit to our sponsors today.
	We have the Satellite Phone Store at sat123.com.
	And remember, they have satellite phones as well as solar generators with solar panels, you know, and storage, all in one units, plus the solar panels.
	And then they've got bivvy sticks, which is satellite texting devices, and they've got the Faraday bag material in their ballistic backpacks that have bulletproof material as well, laptop bags with Faraday material.
	Faraday pouches for your mobile devices, etc.
	Check it out at sat123.com.
	And I also want to remind you that right now we have the return of wartime home front survival skills.
	The registration for that is up at brightu.com.
	And that begins streaming this Saturday free of charge with registration to watch it.
	And it features Marjorie Wildcraft with new information.
	About how to grow food and medicine during a time of war.
	Clearly, we are in a time of war.
	We are in a war.
	It's a war being waged on our economy by our own administration, actually.
	How insane has this become?
	The supply chains are going to collapse and you're going to need to be able to grow some food and some medicine and save seeds, etc.
	This course teaches you how to do it.
	It's essential skills.
	It starts this Saturday.
	Again, it's free of charge, or you can optionally purchase it and download everything in advance and watch it all in advance if you want.
	You can purchase it at brighteonuniversity.com if you wish, or just register at brightu.com and it begins streaming the Saturday one episode per day on a loop, and then the next day the next episode runs and so on for,
	I think, 11 days.
	So check that out, brightu.com.
	And then finally, did you know that we have colloidal silver mouthwash and gargle with iodine and zinc at healthrangerstore.com?
	And I actually formulated this, and I'm the one who actually customized the electronics for making the colloidal silver, which is made using silver plates suspended in Texas rainwater that we run through a laboratory deionizer.
	And I set up the whole system.
	I literally designed the electronics.
	For this, which actually has to reverse current every so many number of seconds in order to keep the plates clean.
	And then the silver comes off the plates with a positive charge.
	So you have positive ions or AG plus that is suspended in the water.
	That's why it's called colloidal silver.
	And a trace of iodine with that and some other amazing ingredients plus zinc.
	If you look at the ingredients on this, you will understand why this is such a great defensive gargle for you to consider for your health, especially at a time where there's so much crazy stuff out there in the world around us.
	You want to keep your mouth really, really clean, and this is the way to do it.
	So check that out at healthrangerstore.com.
	Search for colloidal silver or just mouthwash, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
	We have that in stock right now.
	Also want to mention, I interviewed Dr. Suzanne Humphreys, who was recently on Joe Rogan, and she had some nice things to say about Joe Rogan, and, man, she dropped some bombshells in our interview.
	So I'm going to be playing that interview either tomorrow or the next day, and it's a big deal.
	It's a big deal.
	Trust me on that one.
	All right, with that said, we're jumping into today's interview with David Dubine from Adapt 2030.
	Enjoy the interview.
	And I'll be back with you tomorrow with more astonishing news.
	Thank you for listening.
	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 healthrangersstore.com slash save, that's all you have to enter in, healthrangersstore.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 Astaxanthin 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.
	And thank you for your support.
	All right, welcome everybody to this urgent interview with David Dubine, who is, of course, with ADAPT 2030.
	He's a meticulous researcher.
	Educator, communicator, and he has some bombshell new details to share with us today about the global failure of crops and the coming famine that is about to hit us at the same time that these insane tariffs hit us as well.
	So, David, welcome to the show today.
	Thanks for having me on.
	And everybody out there, please stay glued for a second.
	I'm going to be showing you my forecast charts, how I arrived at that analysis.
	And you can do the very same thing at home.
	I'm not going out in some weird algorithm thing.
	I'm just using AI to run through a different way of looking at the news to come up with these forecasts many, many months ahead of the USDA.
	And Mike hit on a real important point there.
	Why is all this happening right now is the question.
	You know, we look at this.
	The tariffs explain away everything.
	It's a perfect excuse.
	Your food might be disrupted.
	The selections in the supermarkets will be disrupted.
	And everywhere we look, the costs will go up.
	And if something doesn't arrive or it's just right, it's the perfect excuse.
	Now, anything that doesn't arrive back on the farms, the machinery repair parts, could be some chemicals they need for application.
	Fuel additives or whatever it is, seed supply.
	Now this disruption, I do believe it's meant as an excuse also to dent into the available grain supply.
	Not so much the lettuce you're growing in your backyard, but the global grains.
	And that's what I want to talk about today.
	So thanks for bringing me on.
	I appreciate it.
	Absolutely, David.
	And just give us your channel or your website where people can also follow you.
	Adapt 2030.
	It's up on YouTube, and you can go to Rumble as well as Brighteon to find the Adapt 2030 channel.
	I started a new website, Civilization Cycle Podcast.
	You can throw your email in there, and we send off show notes occasionally through the week of topics talked about, something just like this.
	But it's getting harder to communicate.
	If you haven't noticed, everywhere seems to be...
	On purpose, cutting the communication channels, whether it had been Skype, so we can't just, like, dial a number and talk freely anymore.
	You have to be through Teams embedded, and now they're monitoring conversations, and you can be cut off mid-call, depending on your, I guess, conversation itself, the contents of that, if it flags bad words.
	You're going to be there.
	And then you look at all the entire social media, the algorithms out there to absolutely reduce reach for important points just like this.
	So I'm super stoked you still have Brighteon running.
	So there's some and true free speech platform.
	Now, I didn't run through because yours is more of a medical AI.
	So I wasn't really trying to do grain forecasting for, I do believe, Enoch AI or Brighteon.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Well. Your content is always welcome on brighttown.com, and everything that you and I have ever done is already trained into Enoch, and our Enoch AI engine is completely finished.
	We're just building the web interface for it right now, and so the launch of it is imminent.
	So you'll be able to ask it about these topics.
	You'll be able to use it as a really great research tool, by the way.
	To aid, you know, your existing research.
	But let's jump in.
	I know you have a lot to present, but I want to start off with one breaking news item that most people are not aware of.
	And that is that last Thursday, the White House announced a new docking penalty for all vessels that are made in China.
	So if the ship was made in China, then every port that it goes to in America, they have to pay a $1.5 million fine.
	Just because the ship was made in China, okay?
	Doesn't matter what flag it's sailing under.
	It's where the ship was made.
	This is causing many manufacturers of Chinese goods to just abandon their loads in transit and just to tell the carrier, it's yours now.
	We're not going to pay the tariffs.
	We're not going to pay this extra penalty.
	We forfeit it.
	Good luck, you know?
	So, David, talk to us about how that's going to affect Agriculture, food, and spare parts for the food supply chain.
	I mean, we both know people around in Asia, and I've been pulling some of the contacts that I used to know, and they're telling me the same thing.
	Everything is ceasing.
	Factories have closed that have been in business for 18 years.
	Now, that's a big step because they made it through COVID.
	They survived through a lot of ups and downs.
	And things are just closing, and the loans are almost being called in instantly, and then the auctions are happening almost in real time as these forfeitures and foreclosures sweep through the factories.
	I know there was some last-minute ordering from Southeast Asia, and then I ended up watching an enormous amount of different videos.
	The factory owner was saying that this is pretty much their last order.
	It was these last-minute orders from Asian buyers to try to get in on a factory run, A line can't just do an incredible minimal amount, like, hey, give me 50 of this or 20 of that.
	That was all baked in with the American production, and they don't even have a minimum order or a minimum, let's say, base to put that through to even get something on the outside.
	They can't even run the machines because the minimum inside the machine, whether it be an exclusion or molding or you're running off 10,000 yards of cloth or something, there's not even enough minimum in there to allow those machines to run right now, depending on the orders they have.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And economically, it doesn't even make sense from China's point of view to then to make anything for America at this point.
	And I also want to point out that these loads that are on these ships, what these carriers are going to do, obviously, is they're going to call everybody in Canada, Mexico, and South America and say, hey, you want 40-foot containers of Chinese goods for 20 cents on the dollar?
	And they're going to sail down to Mexico, and they're going to offload this stuff there, and Mexico's going to be flooded, Canada's going to be flooded, while America's shelves are empty of Chinese goods.
	Imagine that.
	Yeah, and another thing was the Chinese suppliers themselves were trying to force their way back into the Chinese domestic market, and that's already causing ripples between locals who were entrenched in there and manufacturers that were entrenched in.
	We provide for locals in China, and now all these exporters are now trying to dovetail into that market, too.
	Business-wise, there's a lot of tension there.
	And the amount of unemployment that's going to sweep through, the last numbers I'd seen was like 20 million laid off so far from the factories.
	And that should continue to trend upward here as whoever the stranglehold wins first.
	It's almost like we both have each other in a chokehold and whoever passes out first loses, right?
	Yeah. It's exactly where we sit.
	And it's ridiculous.
	The only way I can think of it, Mike, is it's meant to be...
	As the get-all, be-all, catch-all excuse for everything in the collapse mode, so there is an excuse because nobody can come clean and say it was this variable.
	Oh, by the way, the cycle is back.
	Magnetic excursions are deepening.
	We're at about 5% per decade.
	Magnetic field loss now.
	The jet streams are going to go further out of their flows.
	Less crops will be available to grow, but they're never going to come out clean and tell people that.
	So then you have to work your own ways around because the slowdown and the excuses why the USDA won't be able to put out their crop forecasts on time this year because of the government shutdown and the government restructuring and the doge thing happening.
	Again, what is it?
	It's the perfect excuse.
	Well, yeah, it is the perfect excuse.
	But do you think that that's because Trump and his team, they know there's a collapse coming anyway, and they just really need a cover story for it?
	Is that what you're thinking?
	Yes. The collapse is absolutely here.
	I can't see it running through or being viable for us to continue this way of life.
	I mean, how do you even value something?
	The shipping crisis is next.
	So if no ships are sailing from port, how do you even value a shipping company then?
	You don't.
	And how do you value manufacturing?
	You don't.
	There's just this breakdown in the way that we used to even...
	Give a value to that service or to that industry that's not operational at the levels it was.
	And we saw it in COVID, but that was kind of, I guess, a test warm-up for what is coming.
	Yeah, well, I'm glad you brought that up because I think that what we experienced during COVID, all those shutdowns and the supply chain collapse that really hurt everybody hard during COVID, that was just the warm-up round.
	I think, compared to what's coming.
	And now, I know you've got slides to show us, and I think that's a good segue to your presentation.
	Oh, yeah.
	Thank you.
	Let me go ahead and bring that up to you.
	By the way, this is the Ukrainian harvest some 10 years ago.
	This is the kind of machinery they were using in one of the world's largest breadbaskets.
	So it's not so much about Ukraine, although it is.
	So I'm just going to walk you through the method I've been using.
	We'll see how it works from there.
	So this is, I'm just going to go right to the meat of it.
	And if you're looking for the, now remember I've been doing this analysis since February looking for the crop losses.
	And I'm just simply using AI asking it to run through continental or regional country newspapers and tell me about the crop losses in a certain, I'll target it, whether it be wheat or rice or corn.
	Just tell me about, give me some media.
	Tell me how much, tell me what the media said that there's lost in this region, and then tell me of that region, what is that percentage of the country's total whole exports?
	Okay. And also usage internally, because you're trying to get a gauge on the price, how it's going to move.
	So here's the table that had come out after I did all that research, and I'll walk you through just rice so you can get an idea and you can go do it yourself.
	But I've changed in a lot of parameters, and it's much more fine-tuned now because I took out the policy changes and a few other things.
	But we've got rice at the top, globally looking for about 3.5% to 5%, and that'll transition into somewhere around 5 million tons or so decline.
	So you've got to start looking at that.
	No, excuse me, it's going to be larger than that because about 500 million USDA totals were, and then it was going to be 3% to 5% of that.
	The wheat, also 3% to 4%.
	Corn, about 4% to 5.5%.
	Barley. Oats are the big one, 5% to 7%.
	But oats have been struggling for years anyway.
	So that is something, canary in a coal mine.
	Oats, when they started to struggle two years ago, you knew our agriculture was definitely shifting into a not as reliable plant and harvest season date, and the precipitation had changed a lot.
	And then we've got rye and sorghum.
	So these are the kind of crops that I know people around the world eat or use as stable crops.
	But then, you know, versus what it did before to today in the price projected increase on the outside there.
	Okay. So rice, 25 to 40%.
	Now, you've got to realize, rice-consuming nations generally are more impoverished nations than, like, somebody consuming wheat in the West and France and getting their baguette or something.
	Right. Poor countries.
	And a little bit, a little bit just sends them into, you know, over the edge on the waterfall where us, we can absorb a 40% increase.
	They can't in many instances.
	And that's just going to, the societal unrest will begin there.
	And, you know, you're looking for this teeter-totter thing of then what's manufactured in those places?
	What do we rely on from these other ones that might go socially sideways because of food pricing?
	Uh-huh.
	That's right.
	Okay, now wait, let me stop you here for a second.
	I want to provide a context note to the audience, which is that corn, wheat, and rice are all grasses, and grasses provide the primary source of calories to the human race.
	Just like you said, rice is predominantly grown, you know, obviously in Asia, but also Southeast Asia, a lot of more poorer countries.
	You know, corn, Mesoamerica, the United States, wheat, the same thing, but also Ukraine, like you mentioned, other places.
	However, these are the baseline, for many countries, especially countries in Africa, these are the baseline grasses that prevent starvation.
	And many of those people live within, let's say, 5 or 10% of poverty starvation level.
	So, David, when you're talking about price increases of 25 to 40%, For many of those people, that puts them over the edge where they can't afford to not starve.
	Does that make sense?
	It does.
	And a lot of these nations, too.
	I'll go through Nigeria stuff with the rice, too, on how they read adjusted their CPI to make it not look as large on the food inflation.
	But, you know, a lot of these areas, they're doing mining for critical minerals.
	They're doing mining for, you know, gold and different kind of platinum group metals.
	And they're also in the oil industry and a lot of these nations.
	So if they're going to be over...
	We're overwhelmed with food chaos, like we saw the Arab Spring.
	So imagine the Arab Spring.
	It just shifted for a second into a major supplier of X material, could be anything, that really runs the world or allows the world to run in a certain fashion for certain industries.
	If that is to be upset, then those entire industries, in addition to the tariffs, are going to be, well, stymied in production, and that will, again, have some sort of rollback.
	A percentage to be determined, but I'm just saying these things are all really interlocked now to the point of, I don't know if these excuses are here because it's so noticeable now for everybody on the planet that we're seeing something has changed.
	The perception of humanity is changing with the magnetic field changes.
	I mean, just something is so different that there's an all-out attack and an all-out 100% push by these quote-unquote controllers to...
	Put so much scatter wave and shock it all out there that they need the system to change immediately, and you're not supposed to see what's changing.
	You're too busy finding out, like these people would be, what's going to be next for food prices so I can stay alive.
	Uh-huh.
	Now, let me add something else, David.
	I mean, this chart is really worrisome, but I don't think you factored in also...
	The inflationary effects of currency value lost.
	I did not.
	I did not at all.
	So that's on top of this.
	So if the dollar loses another...
	I mean, look, right now, the dollar's collapsing.
	Gold is skyrocketing $100 a day on many days.
	But that's just the dollar collapsing.
	And it's down even against other weak currencies.
	So, David, you're saying these grains could be 25% to 40% more.
	That's just based on crop losses.
	You factor in currency losses that could easily be 50% or 60% more.
	Or even 100%.
	I was just trying to stay in my wheelhouse on this because others are experts at deciphering the losses in the dollar index and the overlay on the Japanese yen and these intertwines of the offshore yen and this sort of thing.
	That's not my wheelhouse.
	I kind of understand it.
	I can kick a tire and talk about it a little bit, keep the conversation going.
	And that in-depth analysis of what you just described.
	I'm not there on the charting.
	I'm there on the charting on the crop losses, but that sort of economic side of that whole realm of hundreds and hundreds of currency pairs, that needs something different in terms of analysis on its own.
	But you've already thought of that.
	Understood, yeah.
	I'm not saying that I expect you to also be a financial expert.
	I was just saying that this is just on top of what you've said.
	So the actual prices at the grocery store that people are going to see.
	Could really be devastating to Americans and people all over the world.
	Yeah, so let me walk you through a couple more charts.
	And I did this in a very methodical way.
	Just so you can, if you want to copy my style, but I have a lot more parameters and I fine-tuned this thing.
	And this is my 1.0 version that I've done.
	I'm bringing it up to 2.0 version now that we are starting to get some, let's say, planting data now.
	Because when I did this, nobody was planting.
	It was in February, and then I rolled into March, and now we're in April, and there's a lot more info coming with the planting and the floods and the areas that are delayed in planting.
	That's my next parameter to put in delays in planting on these same crops, which you couldn't do because they weren't planting.
	So that wasn't even doable until later in the spring.
	So global rice loss, about 3% to 5% or so, and looking around 25 million tons.
	And this will be from a total of 15 countries impacted.
	But I tried to exclude...
	Non-weather focuses like strange events.
	If there was going to be a typhoon, you can't count on a typhoon coming to a country to disrupt.
	So that was like a no-go for me.
	Ukraine, already scraped that out because you can already factor that in.
	It's not really rice anyway, but any of my analysis, I'm like, policy gone, non-weather, can't predict related things out of the equation and also take away Ukraine because I just want to see with who's operational right now because Ukraine's offline for decades.
	They're not coming back anytime soon.
	So where does that put us in it?
	And if we scale back 2014, we get a 15% to 20% price increases, and I have a few other realistic scenarios from the early 1990s to the 2000s in, so we can get a gauge of approximately.
	So we can't guess on anything that hasn't happened yet.
	I could say it'll rise 5 million percent, but that's never happened.
	So you've got to stay within the working parameters of things that have occurred before, so you can sort of generally measure it against that.
	And, you know, I'm not trying to get all doomy and gloomy and, you know, like, hey, if food prices are going to, you're not famine yet, but, you know, if it goes this way and we are taken down with this tariffs and everybody stops trading with everybody, we are going to go through a very diminished food supply.
	So I started to go through the first 10 countries and I was asking...
	Grok, hey, give me these countries that are food producers that have lost at least 20% so far in the news.
	And I ask it, give me the news media that would also have included this story, because then I can dig down in each individual country.
	And a lot of it's pests.
	Pests are way different to deal with than inclement weather or some sorts of...
	You know, conflict, a conflict zone.
	I mean, Myanmar now hit with the earthquake in addition to the conflict.
	So that number, even since I've done this, is that going to jump way, way, way up to 60, 70 percent?
	That earthquake just is so damaging.
	And, you know, I used to buy coffee out of there.
	And it took forever to get them to that just rudimentary state of fixing the roads where you could drive down to go from one city to another.
	And now that's all shattered, and you've seen earth cracks and ridiculous bridge pulls apart, and they are set back.
	The rice, I think, is not going to say zero.
	That would be, you know, I couldn't say zero, but greatly diminished.
	That's going to be far more than 20. And they're a large rice producer.
	By the way, for anybody in the 1960s fans of history, Myanmar produced more rice than China did in the early 1960s.
	No way.
	Yeah, because they had the Great Leap Forward and all these things, and then Myanmar was able to eclipse rice production as the Chinese were reducing their food production, shall we say?
	That's a little-known fact, but Myanmar could increase its rice production if it got the proper infrastructure in there.
	It could probably increase its arable land by 50%, 5-0.
	Wow. So let's look at the countries real quick.
	We've got India and Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Myanmar, Egypt, and Cambodia.
	But look at that.
	Severe pests in India.
	Disease risk in China.
	And if you come down, heavy pests in Thailand.
	And then you've got rice blight up in the Philippines.
	And then salinity problems in Egypt and Bangladesh, both, because they were having, you know...
	Just problems with the salinity in the soil because they've gone so far down in aquifers.
	And then Bangladesh was highly flooded off several typhoons.
	And then Cambodia with pests.
	Now, if we're going to be in a breaking down supply chain tariff war here...
	Do you think chemicals to treat these things and fungicide, herbicides, pesticides are going to be like in great quantity?
	So these are factors I did not push in there, but I'm thinking on the top, you know, how do I factor it in?
	That's an unknown.
	It's a sort of known, but an unknown, but it sort of just sits off on the side.
	I just don't know how to quantify it to put it in as a possibility of loss.
	Yet. Yep.
	Yep. Okay.
	So these are the big ones.
	These are the big producers.
	They're all struggling.
	Let me ask you this question, David.
	Some of these are weather-related, but a lot of them are not.
	So is there, you know, pests, etc., is there any common thread here, or is this just a convergence of lots of bad things?
	I think it's a conversion of a lot of bad management and too much reliance on global supply chains that are too far away to reliably – it's a national security risk to do what we've done with our agriculture, like let all that go offshore where we're relying on other countries for our seed supply.
	The base chemicals to allow us to – I'm not a fan anyway.
	I'm not a fan of – What we're using for glyphosate, it's just the way it's done.
	I'm saying the way it's done, they depleted soils.
	We need a lot of different fertilizers that aren't produced locally.
	We got to import a lot of that.
	Like leaving all that into a set of hands, you don't know which way they're going to go.
	That's a national security risk.
	And I can't believe we did it.
	Can't believe it.
	And we're sitting at this juncture right now where we need this so badly right now to make sure we get planted this year with the breakdowns.
	And how much of that's really going to arrive?
	You know how much?
	I know we get a lot from Canada, but there is an enormous amount of chemical that we get from China every year for the ag industry.
	That's not coming.
	And whatever they had stocked back, awesome.
	Whoever had the foresight to buy two, great.
	I'm glad you did.
	But there's going to be holes across the entire planting, harvesting, field management chain here coming up.
	Okay, wow.
	Okay, I see.
	Let me ask you a question.
	How long is it possible for the world to recover from this?
	In other words, are we talking about, like, could next year be great?
	Or is this a five-year thing, a decade-long thing?
	I mean, how long is this crisis going to last?
	Well, you can see the past and the weather changes.
	This thing with the magnetic field and our jet streams going out of their flows, that's going to be a permanent disruption, at least for now.
	You know, a magnetic field will restabilize in the future, but nobody knows when.
	These things with the tariffs, I mean, how quickly can we untangle that ball of yarn?
	Because all those suppliers in China that are going out of business, they're auctioning off their machinery and closing their factories.
	How long would it take them to get back on a production line and get it functional and then get those first shipments 30 days back to us over here off a ship?
	Right. You're looking at massive delays to even get that retooled and get those loans for those people and get those, let's say, a chemical facility that is producing some sort of herbicide that might be needed here in the U.S. on a major application basis of a couple million acres.
	A lot of that stuff's brought in from China.
	So if you're going to make that, how long will it take for those factories to put their machines back together on the floor and get their base?
	Yeah, they got to go.
	You know, they're going back suppliers, too.
	You know, they need to go back a bit to get their base chemicals so then they can mix it and then repackage it and send it.
	So, I mean, you're going multiple chains, steps back in there of bankruptcies across China right now that aren't going to be easily fixed.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And you also mentioned some of the...
	You know, the financing.
	And the fact is that the financial world is in real trouble right now.
	We're seeing, you know, global margin call, right?
	You know, we're seeing the collapse of the dollar.
	We're seeing banks in trouble internationally.
	Some in China, some in the UK.
	Many in America are on the verge of collapse.
	If farmers can't get loans, they can't grow food for the most part.
	I mean, farmers...
	Farmers aren't bankrolling their own seeds and crops for the most part.
	They're borrowing money to do it, right?
	And again, you know, maybe we have to rethink how farm financing's done.
	I mean, if we're talking about resetting an entire system into, you know, stablecoin issuance as a stablecoin standard, and we're going to be rocking off over to CBDCs in Europe and changing dollar-backed, you know, gold-backed this or resource-backed that.
	We definitely need to rethink farm financing because that is the most important thing for us, keeping these farms operational to produce so we can eat.
	And ranchers, too.
	Like, that was such a disservice.
	Now, you know, one-third of all the beef in America used to go to China as of two weeks ago.
	One-third.
	Really? I had no idea.
	Yeah, and they've just totally stopped.
	There's no more.
	They just said, no more beef.
	Now, Australia's taking over that.
	They're going to supply China.
	And then Tyson Foods was doing half-carcass hogs, just frozen, packed into a container, half-carcass, and then they would get it back to China.
	And then I came to find out, it's not a large amount of business, but they would do that.
	They would containerize, freeze it, send it to China, have it butchered, repacked it, and then sent back to the United States.
	And I'm like, that's crazy, because they do some of the same thing with our lumber.
	It's cheaper to pack a ship of logs to send them over to China to have it milled, bundled, and sent back than it is to do with the labor costs and our insurance and the unions and everything here in either Canada or the U.S. It's cheaper to send our forests to get milled out over in China and then sent back on a ship.
	This all needs to stop, first of all.
	And then secondly of all, we really need to rethink how our farms and how our ranches and how our...
	Butchers and how everybody in that entire supply chain of getting us proteins and grains and whether they be leafies, veg out of Cali, we need to rethink all this, how it's working.
	And they should be prioritized above anything else.
	We need to take away military spending to get our farmers up and running.
	I don't care.
	We need to cut whatever it is to get our farms functional.
	Because this is no joke here where we are being cut off and firewalled off from the rest of the planet.
	They're just not going to send us stuff.
	Right, right.
	We're going to see spotty stuff at first, and then suddenly you'll start to notice it being a common anomaly, and then people will talk about it.
	And finally, then what?
	What happens then?
	A couple of points here.
	Gosh, David, you have me really concerned here.
	I notice that the cattle herd numbers now are the lowest they've been since the 1950s in the United States.
	So our ranches are collapsing.
	And then the second point, I'd like your reaction to this, All of this reminds me of what the U.S. did to Japan in World War II, which was a naval embargo against Japan to block the arrival of energy, forcing Japan to lash out and ultimately attack Pearl Harbor,
	which I think was kind of like the J-6 of World War II.
	It was a setup.
	But that's a different conversation.
	But I say that today, what Trump is doing to America is what the U.S. Navy did to Japan in World War II.
	Trump is embargoing our own freaking country.
	Like, what the hell?
	I'm sorry, but that's my honest reaction.
	What's yours?
	Well, it seems like we're part of the cogs in the whole machine here where we're doing our part and then China's doing its part on reciprocals and around the planet, they're all doing the same thing.
	Like, well, if you do that, we're going to raise this.
	It's almost like the entire planet is using tariffs to raise prices on everybody.
	Without finger pointing back to the politicians that are responsible for controlling prices with interest rates and everything else, that it's just like wild field day out here where everybody's covering everybody else with excuses.
	And again, the tariffs are the ultimate excuse to cover everything.
	Non-deliverables, price increases, non-availability, shortages, rationing, everything else that comes.
	And, you know, that Indonesia oil, you're right, like in Japan, we cut off the oil flow from Indonesia to Japan prior to World War II.
	So now what's getting cut off for us?
	Goods from China, but I don't need it.
	I mean, I can re-wear this shirt.
	You know, you've seen me wear it before in a couple interviews.
	I re-wear stuff.
	I mean, I don't need to go buy a new shirt immediately, but what is coming from China?
	And I saw some videos where these guys were laughing, and they were in China, and they're like, What do I have in my home that's made in America?
	Nothing. What do you have in your home made from China?
	Everything. So this is where they got it and us.
	And we're in this disposable landfill economy, so things are made to break.
	So now they're starting to break, and they're going to be integral parts to our food production system, delivery chains.
	And then what?
	If we don't have the repair parts, then what?
	I guess the person who can...
	I guess the person who can fix anything and has a blowtorch or a cutter or anybody that can fabricate anything out of nothing will be the winner in this.
	Well, yeah, but you need certain...
	Sometimes it's very difficult to repair certain engine parts, etc.
	But I've become very good at this, by the way, living on a ranch.
	For over a decade.
	I fix stuff all the time when I don't have the parts.
	And I'm getting good at it, but not as good as my grandfather was, for example.
	Not even close, right?
	Well, those engines were far, far different in the machinery.
	It was way different where you could actually do something.
	I tell you what, I don't know if you have the same thing.
	I repair my stuff more than it's functional most of the time.
	It's always broken, always needing repair, especially the mowers, four-wheeler, any kind of attachments.
	It's either the...
	The axles, the wheels, I don't care what it is.
	There's always something.
	Blowers, sprayers, everything is always on the mend.
	And you'll understand that if you really start to put it for use and start to use it on a larger property, your stuff's going to be constantly needing to be repaired.
	You can DIY those.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	No, I'm always repairing stuff, yeah.
	Let me go back to the rice again.
	Yeah, I know, that's it.
	Having a farm, you become a repair master.
	Right, right.
	But just let me drive home the point here.
	What you and I are both saying is that most of those parts come from China, or at least a very large portion of them come from China.
	Even if it's a, you know, like I own Kubota equipment, which is Japanese, but a lot of Kubota parts are made in China.
	I mean...
	Especially the oil filter cartridges, diesel fuel, water separators, fuel filters, belts and everything.
	It all comes from China.
	And David, I had a John Deere tractor one time.
	I was using it as a generator with a PTO generator, and the belt broke.
	Do you know how freaking hot a diesel engine gets when the fan stops blowing through the radiator?
	That thing was smoking, and I'm amazed that it didn't die, but I had a belt break in the middle of that.
	And fortunately, I caught it in time before the whole thing blew up.
	Yeah, for me, voltage regulators, too.
	Like, voltage regulators, you might not think that's an important thing, but that thing's about this big, and it is so important that that thing is not blown or else the rest of your circuitry and electrical systems not functioning correctly.
	Right. Like, that was all made in China.
	They're not OEM.
	But still.
	Some of these things that aren't coming that we need just for the very basics, like you can't run a machine, at least in the modern era, unless the electronics are functioning correctly and it's all controlled by the smallest of devices that are all produced in China.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So let me swing you back here.
	Speaking of being over in Asia, back to the method to the madness of the forecast here.
	So then what I did is, after I got the countries that were struggling, that had over 20% crop losses, and gave me the reason why, and they gave me some media so I could chase down the leads if I wanted to dig further into the news articles, which I did.
	I also ask it then, target the area in the country that is struggling most, and tell me, in that struggle area, what percentage of the country total production is that?
	If you look at India and Pakistan, India is up in the north and west, and then Pakistan is in the Punjab.
	So I'm going to use these as good examples here.
	In China, they only grow rice in the south, by the way.
	They don't grow up in Heilongjiang, where it gets 50 below zero Celsius in the winter.
	South China is where they grow the oranges and the rice.
	So that's Pearl River Delta area south.
	And then we got Bangladesh, Vietnam, and here's your 15 countries, and Nigeria is down here, Madagascar, Brazil, and Spain, along with Sri Lanka.
	So then you start to look in these areas, you know, which ones are having, like you say, economic problems or social unrest problems, which we've seen in the past.
	So keep your eye.
	Northwest in India and Pakistan, Punjab.
	So then, you know, I'm a map fan anyway.
	I knew these were already connected.
	So I'm like, all right, this is the grow zone that's struggling.
	To the southeast and also further into Pakistan.
	Okay. Not being political, so if you're either from Pakistan or from India, this is just, I'm showing you the grow zone.
	No politics intended here, okay?
	So this area was a contiguous area, and then after the British left, they broke it up to cause problems by having people fight amongst themselves, and you can see how this still is.
	But this grow zone is, they call it like the plains, and you can see where all the rivers are.
	So you talk about one of the cradles of civilization was right in this area, Harappa.
	And you go further, you know, many thousands of years ago, and Harappa was the cradle of civilization right here.
	So you start to see how vast of a growing area it could be, and it was at one time.
	And then look at back, stand on the left there, look at the rivers coming out of the Himalaya.
	All right, so there's your Punjab.
	So that's the west it was talking about, Uttar Pradesh, Himshal Pradesh, Punjab.
	And then you can see the maps where it's lining up.
	So you know there's some drought areas in here in the Punjab.
	So if that was 10% or 12% and they're producing 60% of the country in that area, then you can just do math at that point and see how these start to grind forward or backward in terms of production totals.
	Wow. Yeah, so it's kind of easy.
	And then the math, you know, if you're going to do this, say, 12% or 56%, probably around, I did the math earlier, somewhere around 7%.
	Somewhere around 7% total loss.
	And then, you know, obviously those periphery areas, that was just for the dark green right there.
	So then if you start to get the periphery areas that are under 50 tons in area, well, how much are there?
	They're also, it's not about just being a target over one city.
	You got to realize this is a regional area.
	Like if we have a drought in, let's say, the Midwest, it's not going to be targeted right over like Kansas City and that's it.
	There's a periphery zone where it is.
	So this is just, you know, the targeted area.
	The losses, and you can see it's right over the highest concentration of rice production in Pakistan.
	And here's the thing.
	They already spend 45% of their wages on food.
	For them, if the price of rice goes up 30%, 10%, 20%, that is an absolute powder keg right there if they can't control the food prices.
	And we've seen many a time, Pakistan food riots.
	Mm-hmm.
	Right. Right.
	This is...
	Okay, yeah, keep going.
	Keep going.
	You know, the affected regions and, you know, pulling it down into the specifics and then you start to get the maps and you're looking at the, again, you know, I wanted the full totals, the reason for it, the realistic loss from that, and then put this into the final table here, at least one of them.
	So it gives you the country, the affected region, which is, you know, you go for that for at least the initial, you know, bullseye in your target.
	And then if that's the regional loss of 15% to 20% out of that major producing area, then you can...
	Pull it along here and see the total country loss of 7% to 10% coming out of India's rice crop this year, or at least 12% coming out of Pakistan's rice crop.
	And then China's going to lose 7%, and Bangladesh at least 12%.
	And I'm saying that Myanmar total is going to go well, well, well over 12% of the total country loss.
	So these numbers need to be adjusted in themselves.
	But you can see the method to it, and it's just...
	Using AI in a different fashion to actually use the news that is up to date to this minute to be able to front run the USDA by three months or so.
	Okay. Wow.
	Yeah, so let me keep going.
	And then, you know, what you do is, like I said, I'm a fan of maps.
	I always have been.
	I love ancient maps, modern maps, you know, anything from a couple hundred years ago.
	So here's the rice growing, and then this is where the metal or the rubber meets the road, really.
	Then you can start to get some real decent totals of how many million tons are coming out of these, right?
	And how much area is being grown in these specific spots.
	So if you look at the total number of hectares being grown in this western region, northwest, we've got 5.9 million hectares there, 2.6 million, almost a million out of Hirayana.
	So altogether, you're looking at about 10 million hectares, and you multiply by, let's say, 2.4 to get the acres.
	That's all being damaged rice production.
	So then you've got to go, hmm, what's grown up there?
	Now, rice is not just rice.
	Corn is not just corn.
	So basmati rice is the main rice crop that's being grown up there.
	All right, so basmati.
	And then you need to trace it back.
	Which areas are the main basmati buyers?
	Is there a market for that?
	Who consumes that the most?
	Is there a substitute?
	And then the areas like Andhra Pradesh down there is the rice bowl.
	That whole lighter green area from Orissa to Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, that whole area there, that's what they call the rice basket.
	So that's really a main concern area because that's a big one down there.
	Then it's really just a numbers game.
	So you just start adding it up.
	So global rice output, 500 million tons.
	That was 2023-24 from the Food Agriculture Organization from the UN.
	So if we say 500 million tons, we'll keep it the same for 2025, which the USDA did.
	Then you just start subtracting all those totals there that we did.
	So if you're going to take 5% off of that...
	7% off, you know, then you start to get some better ideas.
	Because this was only the 15 countries that were struggling of the major producers in the world.
	Now, if you add up every other producer that's out there in the world, even if they give you, like, just 10 tons of rice, that counts as a producing nation.
	That is the extra 150 million tons.
	Like, the U.S. is a major rice producer for what we consider Western countries, if you didn't know that.
	We grow rice in the United States.
	So that's in there, but we're not on those lists of major producers struggling.
	So that extra 150 million tons, so you're like, wait, it's 500 million.
	No, it's 350 million.
	That extra 150 mil is the other countries that are of smaller producers but added up to those extra 70 or 80 countries would give you the extra 150 million tons.
	I was just concentrating on the top 20 or the top 15, top 10 largest.
	Because that is truly where the lion's share comes from.
	So there's where we get.
	So if we do just out of that top 15 losses of those countries, we're looking at that kind of at least 5% loss for the thing.
	Wow. Yeah, and again, you know, let me go one more here.
	So then, you know, then you need to keep like niching down on it here.
	So go back in the past for a second and let's take a look at some previous iterations of what happened when there was loss like this.
	So 2007 and 2008, remember the financial crisis?
	There was bans everywhere across the world, at least Southeast Asia.
	Now, you're not sending the rice out of here.
	It is already upsetting the society where the price rises from the great financial crisis, and you are not exporting rice.
	Export bans.
	And then, you know, that just drove the price insane across the world.
	Look at that.
	The price has doubled to 1.5 times higher.
	And those statistics are off from the World Bank and from the FAO.
	So if you start to look at India and Vietnam and Thailand and Cambodia start doing rice bans again for export, the entire world is going to shift on its head, especially in these nations.
	Then we've got policy shifts.
	Vietnam also, again, policy shift.
	Governments are going to shift policy to keep that food in their country, to protect their citizens, to make sure that their prices don't go up crazy, because then they're going to get overthrown like the Arab Spring.
	So we saw that before.
	We saw a lot of export restrictions on rice, right?
	But David, this speaks to the growing global nationalism, which means cutting off world trade.
	And I've got to say, it is world trade.
	It's actually the efficiencies of trade that support the current global population.
	And if you cut off world trade, you're going to lose a couple billion people.
	But the export embargoes will come long before there.
	The export restrictions will arrive so far before that happens.
	That's another key indicator to look for.
	If you start to see export restrictions for foodstuffs coming in country after country, that is going to be an indicator that there are going into some severe food shortages.
	You don't do that unless you can't grow enough to export, and then you're trying to keep the prices down.
	To keep the stability of the nation.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah. And then you talked about currency crisis.
	I'm not even adding that in.
	That could very well happen in many of these places.
	So, what we're looking at here is a cascading, like a domino effect series of events where Trump's tariffs are part of this, and they've set off this global cutting off of supply routes.
	On top of that, you have all these factors, the pests.
	And radical weather, perhaps geoengineering, that's going to crater crops, crop supplies all over the world, vastly increasing crop prices.
	And as a result of then the lack of trade, many of these countries, well, let me ask you this, David.
	I assume that the Asian nations will trade among each other.
	China will still be trading with Korea and Vietnam and Indonesia.
	Even Taiwan, etc.
	Even if the US is out of the picture, the other countries aren't going to just go full nationalism, right?
	Wouldn't they continue to trade grain?
	You would hope so, unless the US has some export into that market or stranglehold on some sort of other nations that they can pull strings to restrict those types of foods going into different places.
	Yeah. What?
	It's an unknown.
	But you mentioned the weather or the change in climate.
	So here you go.
	Now, this is a two-week change from they were going into neutral ENSO and possibly into a little sliver of El Nino coming up later on in August and September.
	That's what they were predicting.
	Pretty much neutral.
	But a titch of possibility going toward El Nino.
	And then this reversed itself in less than two weeks from a neutral ocean into...
	You know, five to six degrees Celsius drop.
	Not Fahrenheit, Celsius in two weeks.
	This is the kind of things that really start to disrupt.
	Like, you know, this is from Ryan Maui up there, and he put out the chart, and I was gobsmacked looking at this.
	How do you change an ocean, that much of an ocean coming off that was going into a warming phase or a neutral phase coming out of La Nina and then boom, it slams back in there so quickly?
	To change an ocean temperature of that radical, radical shift in two weeks is something they're all saying is because of different...
	I think, yes.
	Right. Okay, all right.
	So, where does this put us, then, as American consumers who, compared to the rest of the world, Americans spend a relatively small amount of their discretionary income on food.
	But is that going to dramatically shift to where people have to, like, not buy cars so they can buy food?
	Or how do you think this plays out?
	I don't know.
	Here's your Consumer Price Index chart, and you can see where it kind of...
	I wouldn't say Loch Ness monsters at the far right of the chart there, but it definitely continues to go up for food in cities, U.S. average.
	So if that continues to creep up, and again, currency crisis would make this go vertical like it did from right around the COVID time.
	You can see where that 2020 mark forward just went up through 2022 there.
	If that were to happen again, a lot of people are stretched.
	I'm not saying everybody.
	There's always money out there.
	Don't get yourself into this tizzy.
	Or we're going to go into a Great Depression and everybody's going to shrivel in the back of the room.
	You need to be able to use your mind and find these ways through the opportunities and the danger.
	Just don't sit back and start shaking because of the information.
	I'm bringing it out so you can weave your way through what you know is coming.
	If we look at Japan's rice, I might work it backwards then.
	Because for Americans, we pay, yeah, probably around 10% of our disposable income is for food, where Pakistan is 45%.
	But then I was traveling in Japan, and I got to experience the rice shortages there when I was there last year, right at the end.
	No, it was this year.
	It was at the end of January this year.
	And there were places that had signs out that said, no rice available.
	Well, then Japan's rice price has been rising at record prices.
	Like, look at that.
	That's incredible.
	Yeah, and that's a very developed nation, anything on par with anywhere else.
	I mean, Japan's so high-tech.
	Absolutely. And they can't grow their crops with their high-tech society?
	Like, what is going wrong over there in terms of they're at the state of the art of everything from robotics, and everybody wants to give AI credence, like, oh, AI's going to run the farms, they're going to do this.
	And they're at the height of that, and they can't grow rice.
	What is going on?
	Well, that's another thing, too, to think about.
	I mean, if you want my answer to that question, I would love it.
	Yeah, you know, I've spoken to Michael Yan, who spends a lot of time in Japan.
	You know, Michael.
	I do.
	You know, there's a demographic collapse in Japan.
	It's getting far worse.
	And the truth is, there are no young people to take over the farms, who are virtually none.
	They don't want to learn farming skills.
	They don't have the hands-on skills.
	They're all, you know, living on their mobile phones and electronic devices.
	It's the same problem in America.
	The existing farmers are the old-timers, and they're retiring or dying off.
	And that's just what's happening in Japan.
	And it's harder work than you think.
	I mean, Mike, you can attest to it.
	It's not as easy to just go throw a seed in the ground.
	Hey, cool, we're going to sit back in the sunset and have cocktails.
	It is difficult work.
	You know how tired I am some days I come in?
	Like, I am just so sore from lifting stuff and pulling.
	You know, we're in the springtime.
	We're doing a lot of extra things right now.
	I've got to go seed out before the rain comes in after we're finished today because we did a bunch of machine work because we had so many trees fall down.
	This guy came in and ripped the stumps out for us.
	We've got to reseed a couple acres.
	But still, even with machines and trying to do stuff, it's not easy to do.
	So older people are less productive at it because it's just genuinely physically difficult.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And what I find in Texas is if you don't have...
	Irrigation here is the key to everything.
	And I'm fortunate enough to have a pond where I have a pump in it and I irrigate my orchards and everything using pond water.
	But talk about digging ditches, laying pex pipe, putting in all the quarter-inch lines, all the drippers, and then fixing those when wild rats chew on them to get water out or whatever.
	And forget the fencing, too.
	How many post holes can you dig by hand with those post hole diggers?
	Oh, man.
	Forget it.
	I don't even try it.
	I don't know.
	I got a machine for that.
	I don't even try it anymore.
	Yeah, right.
	But most people don't.
	That's the thing.
	If you're going to lay out a fence across three acres or something and you do it by hand, it's going to take you weeks, plural.
	Yeah, and you're going to have some sore-ass shoulder blades.
	But you're going to build some muscle.
	Yeah, just don't do it all in one day.
	You'll be shocked that you can't move.
	Yeah, you don't even need a gym.
	And I will say another thing.
	If you have a farm or are helping somebody, you don't even really need a gym membership.
	That's totally true.
	The workout you're getting, just doing daily tasks, is enough to overtake what you would probably be at the gym because you're lifting and using different kind of muscles that you would never use on a weight machine.
	That's true, yeah.
	Functional strength.
	Picking things up and twisting them and buckets of this in your hands.
	You just would never find that kind of twisty or whatever, like moving stuff and wrenching and putting tines on blades and things.
	Don't even get me started.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	So, okay.
	So the point is...
	Wait, this is my last slide if I could here.
	Yeah, go for it.
	Go for it.
	I mentioned Nigeria.
	I think it was 13th or something on the list there as a rice grower that is struggling as well right now.
	But notice what they did there.
	On the right side, you'll see their old CPI, the way they calculated that, all the way through 2009, the old way that they did it.
	They've just suddenly revamped that to bring the percentages down so it doesn't appear that your inflation is running at 35% per year or 20% per month.
	So this is even happening in Nigeria.
	So something's gone terribly wrong with their food production.
	Now, we don't rely a lot on Nigerian oil.
	But there's other places that rely on critical minerals.
	And where does that take us then?
	We've already seen the U.S. be removed pretty much out of the Sahel region.
	And you've got to wonder, you know, when things are coming back in, if they're going to have food problems.
	Maybe not so much because the rainfall is increasing in the Sahel.
	But other nations, why are they revaluing or revamping how they calculate CPI?
	See, everybody's terrified of prices going up.
	So this will be another, you know.
	Flame in the fire there of export controls.
	You know, also, most of the world's cacao supply comes out of West African nations, as you know.
	I think it's just four nations there that export most of it.
	And in the West, you know, we love to eat chocolate, and that's going to become a luxury for the wealthy.
	Like it was in the prior era.
	People just didn't have chocolate or coffee.
	It was only for kings, queens, noblemen, and those that could fund their ship voyages.
	That's true.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's where this is headed.
	It's so clear.
	So what should a person listening to this, what should they do to navigate this?
	Well, I would take it in a multi-step approach.
	First, find a bunch of diagrams from the Victory Gardens that the U.S. Army and our government put out for your grow zone, what we did in World War II, because those gardens were ultra-productive.
	I mean, you look at the way that those things are precise, and they've done all these studies on which companion plants and which things would not shade out.
	Those plants from the 1940s Victory Gardens are the best.
	If you're going to do something in a small space, and then secondly, you're going to have to think about getting your seeds and getting tools.
	Now, you can make your own fertilizers.
	I would definitely buy a composting book would be another one to start getting on that.
	But tools are going to be a thing.
	And, you know, handles, you know, I'm not, I can't make a handle.
	I'm going to, I can't.
	I can put one back onto a broken tool that the handle broke off of, which also, by the way, is...
	It's a little bit of a tricky business if you haven't done it a bunch.
	You've got to drill down in there and pull stuff and chip it out, and then you can replace the handle.
	But those kind of things, if you can go to estate sales, get older tools with better quality steel, that would be a very good first start for people who've never heard this information before.
	You're going to want to think about getting some plan to have a garden around your house, whether it be raised beds or how do you protect it?
	Do you fence it in?
	Animal pests to worry about.
	I mean, anything that you can do.
	And perhaps those safe traps are a good way to get a protein source.
	I know a lot of people just say, well, the rabbits will go in there.
	Yeah, well, the rabbits are good protein.
	Squirrels get in there.
	Well, yeah, squirrels good.
	My grandma used to cook up squirrels when we were super toddlers, you know?
	I mean, things like in the past, you might have to start it.
	Now, I'm not going to go eating possum, but if I was hungry enough, I would.
	But you could catch those possums and raccoons all.
	Stay long in those safe traps.
	So, you know, think about protein sources, too, in addition to, like, you can raise some birds.
	Marjorie Wildcraft talks about the word bird raising in small areas, you know, quail and stuff.
	You're going to need proteins.
	I mean, you tell me what you would do.
	Yeah, what would you do in addition to that?
	I mean, I've got wild hogs and wild rabbits galore, okay?
	Oh, my, me too.
	Got to get rid of the rabbits.
	Too many.
	I, cause you know, I don't use any herbicides on my ranch.
	And so what happened over all these years is that everything grew back, which meant massive habitat for rabbits, all these briars that the rabbits can hide in from the coyotes.
	So we have rabbits galore, which is actually, that's part of my intention is I don't want to raise rabbits in hutches and I don't want to kill rabbits and eat rabbits unless I'm starving.
	And then it's rabbit season.
	You know what I mean?
	I mean, I'll go out and hunt rabbits if I have to.
	Yeah, and can you keep your property clean and plentiful enough?
	Like, we don't hunt the deer here because they know to come here and stay here.
	Yeah, same here.
	We don't hunt deer.
	No, I don't hunt anything except steal targets.
	But if it comes down to it, there's plenty.
	Plenty of things to shoot and eat if I had to.
	But honestly, there's enough cattle ranchers around me that I just barter silver for beef.
	But most people aren't in that position.
	They really don't even know that you can barter for food or trade work for food.
	The next thing to do maybe would be, my camera's freezing up again, to go see if you can find somebody who would allow you to trade some work.
	And you get the experience, but you also get food in payment or some sort of that garden produce or eggs or something that's coming off the farm that's producing.
	Just go out and spend some time and see if you can trade some time for somebody else to give you something from the land.
	And try that first because you'll get some skill.
	You're going to learn right away if you like or you don't like something.
	You know, I know some people, they can't even go near a chicken coop.
	That's cool because they love to work with plants.
	So you're going to find your niche out somewhere, you know.
	Some people can't stand to go near a chicken coop?
	What do you mean?
	They just hate chickens?
	Oh, because of the poo.
	There's poo there.
	Oh, you got to clean the chicken coop.
	Oh, no, there's poo.
	You got to clean it up.
	Oh, they don't know that chickens poo, huh?
	Or they freak out about it.
	Yeah, right.
	Well, they get near there and they're like, oh, there's poo around here.
	They just pooed right there on the ground.
	Wow. Well, good luck.
	Good luck surviving starvation.
	Wow. I'm just bringing that to the very basic first day freshman 101 class somewhere.
	Get in there and experience something to know what it's like, what you have to do, what you like, what you don't like, and then really learn what you can.
	I know these food price rises are coming, and I just...
	My whole thing is I don't know if it's going to continue next year and then the next year and then the next next year because at that point, Americans won't be able to afford the food.
	So is this a one-off, like you say, and will things revert back?
	Yeah, if the supply chains get smoothed out, but then we have Mother Nature to contend with, and she seems to be a little angry right now.
	The magnetic field is changing on our planet, and that's another thing I do believe the powers that be are trying to cover up.
	Wow. The magnetic field change.
	I mean, once the jet streams go out of their flow, I mean, that is very difficult to convince people that tomorrow is going to be brighter.
	Like, keep going to work.
	Keep investing.
	Yeah. Yeah, and that's the trick, isn't it?
	To convince people that there's a reason to stay a slave and keep paying taxes, keep contributing to a broken, failed, corrupt system.
	It's your duty, Mike.
	It's your duty.
	Yeah, right.
	I don't think so.
	I mean, and the great thing about growing your own food is you don't pay taxes on it.
	Think about it.
	It's tax-free.
	Now, if the IRS could figure out a way to tax your garden, they would.
	There's no feasible way to do it.
	They can't track it.
	And they just can't send out tax collectors to look at all your gardens.
	Probably they can do that in the UK.
	I would imagine they tax everything in the UK because they tax televisions.
	The BBC tax.
	Yeah, the BBC tax your TV.
	Like, how did you know I was watching it?
	You know?
	Like, well, we have a detector from the street.
	We have TV detector, full-time employees that run around doing that all over the UK.
	I mean, but in America, that wouldn't fly.
	All right.
	So, David...
	Appreciate it.
	Thank you so much.
	We're almost out of time.
	Anything else you want to add?
	Your channels, website, anything?
	No, the Adapt 2030 channel, wherever you can find it.
	And I'm also open there on Patreon with the Adapt 2030 channel.
	And just trying to put more information like this.
	So if you're out on Patreon with me, I'm going to be putting out the...
	Every single crop analysis by crop.
	So if you saw the rice one, okay, it's rudimentary.
	But to put out each and every one of those by grain, by statistic, and to put out these types of PDF, like 20-page PDF of each individual crops, then learn the methods so you can do it on your own.
	It's just a different way.
	A lot of people haven't taken AI to use it to the advantage of scraping through real-time news to get a better crop analysis than waiting for a crop tour once a year.
	Yeah, right.
	There's a different way to analyze the same data, but it's just faster using AI.
	Okay. Well, David, we appreciate you so much.
	You're doing outstanding work.
	Your analysis is spot on, and it's a big warning for everybody watching.
	Not doomsday, but take action to get prepared so that you can face what's coming with a sense of confidence.
	So thank you so much, David.
	We appreciate you, and don't disconnect yet, but thank you for joining me today.
	All right.
	Thank you.
	Bye for now.
	All right.
	We'll see you.
	And thank all of you for watching.
