Trump announces CEASEFIRE between Iran and Israel, but will it hold? (BBN, June 24, 2025)
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, welcome.
This is one of those days where I have to begin the podcast by saying it is my understanding that.
And then the rest of this podcast is in quotes.
Because here we are with things changing by the hour.
I'm recording this around midnight, which is typically when I record the podcast for the following day.
And I got to tell you, I think that a whole lot of people are going to be eating crow over the next 72 hours.
And who are those people?
Those are the people that are not just celebrating Trump's announced ceasefire.
I mean, I'm all for a ceasefire.
I've been calling for peace from the very beginning of this.
But they're MAGA people who are now admonishing anyone who dared question what was happening.
They're running around saying, see, you should have trusted Trump.
You were wrong to question Trump.
You know, Alex Jones is being attacked.
Owen Schroer, Tucker Carlson, the Hodge twins, myself, everybody else who has been saying this entire time, whoa, wait a second, it looks like Trump has taken us into World War III, because that's exactly what it looked like until Sunday morning when we got the satellite images of the bombing of the Furdo nuclear facility, right?
Up until Saturday night, I mean, through Saturday night, when Trump announced the stealth bombers and we bombed it and it's gone, it's totally obliterated.
At that moment, I thought that Trump had taken us to World War III.
I thought that Trump had sold out America to the Zionists.
And I said so, although I have since walked that back because of new information that I've been discussing here over the last two days.
And I was among the first to say that, hey, Trump is actually following a de-escalation path here now.
I began that on Sunday.
Listen to my Sunday podcast.
Listen to my Monday podcast.
And I was taking heat then from the anti-Trump camp, sort of the America first MAGA people that were really hating Trump.
And I was taking heat from some of those folks who are like, oh, now you're in the Trump camp.
Did Trump get to you?
I'm like, are you kidding me?
No matter what you say right now, either the Trump zealots either love you or hate you, depending on how aligned you are with Trump.
And as I explained on social media, I do not have loyalty to any man or woman.
I have loyalty to principles and loyalty to God.
I'm loyal to principles like liberty and transparency and peace and compassion.
I'm loyal to humanity.
And I believe that all human beings have the right to live in a world free from government violence, which is what almost all the violence is, almost all of it.
Not all of it, but nearly all of it.
And so I have principles that are unwavering.
I follow those principles.
And when Trump's actions align with those principles, I will praise Trump.
And when Trump's actions contradict those principles, then I will criticize Trump.
It really is that simple.
I'm not changing at all.
My principles are exactly the same the whole time.
But because I am willing to entertain new information and because I am not one of those zealots that is beholden to a position no matter what, I'm not tribal, in other words, there are times where new information will cause me to completely alter my conclusion based on that new information.
And frankly, I think that's the only intellectually honest way to approach things.
So with that context in mind, let me be clear.
Up to Saturday night, well, before Sunday morning, again, I was convinced that Trump had taken us to World War III, and I was convinced that he was committing political suicide.
I was convinced that MAGA was going to fracture, that Trump was done, etc.
Then I came to find out Sunday from looking at the satellite photos, hey, wait a second.
This wasn't a World War III mad bombing, total destruction of Furdo.
Didn't happen.
Even though Trump had advertised that to the American public, which I have since called theater for Zionists, okay, TFZ.
TFZ is theater for Zionists.
Trump was creating theater for the Zionists that wanted to see the big explosions, that wanted to be told that we had destroyed Iran's nuclear program.
So Trump created theater for them, gave them what they wanted.
And then we had many additional confirmations.
We had confirmations coming out of media, but also on other channels about the back channel discussions between the White House and Iran.
And over all of Monday, it became absolutely apparent that Trump and Iran were in fact cooperating to wage a de-escalation theatrical event, which then was Iran launching missiles at a U.S. military base in Qatar, which is exactly what I predicted would happen.
You go back to yesterday's podcast.
I laid it out step by step.
I said, this is exactly the playbook.
And sure enough, that's what happened.
And sure enough, those missiles did not kill anybody because the American base was evacuated in advance.
I think there were actually two bases that were targeted by Iranian missiles.
They were evacuated.
The U.S. was given notice in advance.
Nobody was injured.
Nobody was killed.
Exactly as I said.
And as this took place, I kept telling people online that, You know, this is a de-escalation ladder.
This is actually very mature statesmanship on the part of Trump right here.
This isn't Trump just like firing off, you know, random, crazy, insane rants.
This is actually Trump navigating a very delicate kind of threading the needle, as I said yesterday, and seeming to do a good job here, as far as we know so far.
So then, as of Monday evening, I am in the, you know, congratulations to Trump camp, saying, you know what, Trump actually figured out a way to get us out of the war, that is, if this holds, to really isolate Israel, but to stop the conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
So the U.S. isn't bombing Iran anymore, and even the bombing that the U.S. just did didn't destroy any uranium, didn't destroy any nuclear material at all, because even if Ford was destroyed, it was already empty, it was evacuated, and it doesn't look like it's been destroyed at all.
It looks like it was all war theater, as I'm calling it.
And then Iran gets to tell its people, hey, you know, we attacked the American bases, you know, and they can show their videos.
And everybody wins except Israel.
Israel's hung out to dry because Trump, I think, is tired of Netanyahu calling the shots.
Now, this is just my opinion.
You can maybe disagree with this.
Heck, I might disagree with it tomorrow, depending on what happens.
But at the moment, it looks like Trump has basically told Netanyahu to go pound sand, like, you're on your own now.
And this is actually a very clever way for Trump to pull us out of the war.
Now, okay, so that was my opinion up until sort of Monday evening, let's say, yesterday evening.
Then Trump apparently posts the following on his Truth Social channel.
He announces that there's a ceasefire.
The ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
And here's what he says, which is this is one of the most extraordinary statements ever posted by any U.S. president in history.
And by extraordinary, I don't mean it's 100% awesome.
I mean something's really weird about this.
It's, well, let me just read it for you and you can decide.
And this is Trump's all caps mixed with regular sentence case, which is unusual for Trump.
Usually Trump is all caps.
But for this post, he took the time to type it out without the caps lock on, which really says something.
So Trump says, congratulations to everyone.
It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in-progress final missions for 12 hours, comma, at which point the war will be considered ended.
Okay, so Trump is announcing the end of the war.
All right, let's continue.
Officially, Iran will start the ceasefire and upon the 12th hour, Israel will start the ceasefire, and upon the 24th hour, an official end to the 12-day war will be saluted by the world.
During each ceasefire, the other side will remain peaceful and respectful.
On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, which he capitalized the word stamina for some reason, comma, courage, also capitalized, comma, and intelligence also capitalized, to end, comma, what should be called the 12-day war, all caps.
This is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't and never will.
And by the way, with that sentence, he really confirms what Tucker Carlson was worried about and what Alex Jones was worried about and what I was worried about, etc.
Trump admits that this is a war that could have gone on for years and destroyed the entire Middle East.
Anyway, he continues, but it didn't and never will.
God bless Israel.
God bless Iran.
Yes, the U.S. president just said God bless Iran.
God bless the Middle East.
God bless the United States of America and God bless the world.
Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America.
So this is the announcement that has all of the Zionist Trump supporters just hopping mad at anybody who questioned Trump's motives or questioned any of this, which is all of this is so bizarre because already, already, Israel is saying that Trump didn't destroy Iran's nuclear program.
In fact, Channel 13 out of Israeli media carried a program where the guests said that the nuclear program can't be destroyed with bombs, even if Israel spends another year attacking Iran with the help of the Americans.
Still can't destroy it.
So just as I predicted yesterday, you can go back and check it, Israel is starting to say Trump failed.
And in effect, Israel is starting to say Trump lied, that Iran's nuclear program has not been destroyed.
So now the Zionist pro-Trump supporters in America, many of whom are very loyal to Israel, but also supporting Trump, they are now put into a very weird position where they are admonishing everybody who raised any concerns whatsoever.
But those people are finding out that if they're loyal to Israel, then they're going to have to agree that Trump lied about the bombing because the bombing did not destroy Iran's nuclear program.
It didn't destroy anything.
It bombed empty facilities and didn't even collapse them.
So I'm wondering over the next, let's say, 24 hours or so, maybe longer, are these pro-Zionist Trump supporters going to realize that they've been played by Trump because Trump found a way to distance America from Israel by claiming the bombing was a total success, claiming our job is done, claiming essentially that we've done our part and now Israel, the rest is up to you and getting the U.S. out of the war.
That is not what the Zionist Trump supporters actually want.
And that's why Mark Levin is already out there saying that he hates the term ceasefire.
So Mark Levin is kind of spearheading now the Zionist backlash against Trump.
Right?
Like, I can hardly keep track.
That's why I'm saying this thing is changing by the hour.
Mark Levin hates the ceasefire.
And I'm wondering if like Ted Cruz pretty soon is going to get a call from Israel that says, you know, Senator Cruz, you have to come out and hate the ceasefire also.
So I'm wondering if over the next day or two, we're going to start to see Trump's Zionist camp start to say, no, Trump lied.
The nuclear programs were not destroyed.
And that we don't want to ceasefire.
We need the war to continue.
That's probably what you're going to see.
Now, there's something far more concerning in all of this, which is that Trump announced the ceasefire, but apparently most officials, or maybe all the officials in Iran, had no knowledge of this ceasefire.
No, apparently.
So from Iran, Al-Mayadin reported, and this is translated, quote, there is no confirmation from official Iranian sources regarding Trump's talk of a ceasefire.
And other quotes, other news sources, here's one from CNN that says, Iran has not received any ceasefire proposal and sees no reason for one, a senior Iranian official told CNN.
Mint Press News reported, according to reports, Israel has expressed a willingness to end the war to the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In response, Iran reportedly stated that the time to end the conflict, quote, has not yet come.
Has not yet come.
And then Mayor News out of Iran said that, quote, the Zionist regime carried out attacks on Iran.
Trump spread his delusions and announced an imaginary ceasefire between Iran and the United States, which caused me to tweet out that we now have the world's first transgender ceasefire.
It's actually a war that self-identifies as a ceasefire.
Now, as of the time I'm recording this, it's unclear.
It's unclear whether a ceasefire has officially been agreed to or whether Trump prematurely announced it, that maybe his team was talking to some team in Iran that didn't have the authority to actually make the final call on this or something like that.
Or maybe Trump wanted to push oil prices down and he just decided to announce it.
And sure enough, oil plummeted.
I mean, there could be all kinds of reasons for this.
We don't know what's in Trump's mind or possibly Trump has access to information that we don't have access to.
And maybe by the time you hear this, you know, the Khomeini will come out and say, yes, we've agreed to the ceasefire, you know, and everything's all ceasefire.
Okay.
Well, let's take it from there.
Okay.
Let's assume that there is a ceasefire.
Let's assume that Trump's ceasefire is real, although nobody can confirm it as of right now.
Maybe that will change.
We'll see.
Let me ask you these questions.
Number one, can you think of any ceasefire that Israel agreed to, which Israel did not violate?
I think anybody would be hard-pressed to cite that because Israel never honors ceasefires.
So there's a concern.
Secondly, we know that the actual bombing of Iran was achieved by a diplomatic subterfuge involving Trump and Israel claiming that they were negotiating with Iran.
That was like over a week ago now.
But instead of actually negotiating, they were using the promise of negotiations as a deception tactic to catch Iran off guard so that they could have their surprise attack, the so-called Pearl Harbor now, on Iran, which worked.
And then they murdered the negotiators, or some of them.
And Israel assassinated top Iranian leaders and military leaders and scientists, numerous scientists.
There were dozens of people assassinated by Israel.
I ask you this question.
Why would Iran now suddenly say, well, we believe you now.
When you say you want to ceasefire and you want to sit down and negotiate and you say the war is over, yeah, we just, we magically suddenly believe you, even though you've never proven to be reliable in the past.
Does that make sense to you?
No, it does not.
How can Iran trust Trump's White House when the White House used the promise of negotiation as a deception tactic to murder top Iranian leaders?
You see what I mean?
Now, so these are just some questions to keep in mind in all of this because I am not falling for the, you know, Trump saying the war is over, the 12-day war.
I don't believe that for A minute.
So now I'm back in the camp where I'm critical of what Trump is saying because I don't believe it.
And I'll tell you why I don't believe it.
Well, a couple of reasons.
Number one, even though both Iran and Israel have their own short-term reasons to want a very short ceasefire, overall, their goals for each other cannot be reconciled.
So let me break that down for you.
Yes, Israel might agree to a short-term ceasefire because they need to rearm.
They need to reload the interceptors for their iron dome.
They need more shipments from the U.S. And that takes time.
Iran might also want a short-term ceasefire for the purpose of acquiring nuclear weapons.
Because as I think as Mied Viedev says from Russia, somebody is going to give nuclear weapons to Iran at this point.
And now I'm thinking it's going to be North Korea or Pakistan.
So my prediction is that Iran, within a few weeks, announces that it is a nuclear-armed nation, not from its own nuclear program, but from a friendly country, friendly to Iran, giving it some number of nuclear weapons so that Iran may defend itself against Israeli and American aggression, which is what a surprise attack is.
That's aggression.
Israel initiated the attack against Iran, and then the U.S. also initiated a bombing of Iran.
So if you believe that nations have the right to defend themselves, then you might understand why Iran would acquire nuclear weapons from some other friendly country.
So again, I believe Iran is going to announce that it is a nuclear-armed nation, and then it will rapidly pursue its own domestic nuclear program.
This is, of course, going to put it at odds with Israel and with the United States.
And Israel's position is that Iran must give up all nuclear material and all centrifuge operations for refining uranium, including for a domestic nuclear energy program.
Iran's position is that we will never give up domestic uranium processing for lawful and legal domestic nuclear energy applications.
Those two positions are not reconcilable.
In addition, Iran must no doubt realize at this point that it has two choices.
And this was tweeted from a user, but I agree with it.
So this was on X from a user named Adam.
It says Iran has two choices.
One, it can become Libya, or two, it can become North Korea.
I hope that's obvious what that means.
Libya tried to go along with the West.
Libya gave up weapons development.
And look what happened.
Libya was bombed.
Qaddafi was murdered.
Libya was overrun.
And its economy was destroyed.
And Libya has been ruined as a North African country ever since that happened.
So when you try to appease the West, the West will deceive you and lie and break all their promises, and then they will destroy you.
And Libya found that out the hard way.
Many other countries have found that out as well.
Then there's North Korea.
North Korea acquired nuclear weapons.
From that day forward, the U.S. didn't mess with North Korea because North Korea can nuke South Korea, which is, of course, right next to it.
Very close.
So the launch time and the flight time of those missiles is like single-digit minutes, you know.
So, oh, and plus, of course, Japan is in range of North Korea, Taiwan is in range, other U.S. assets, and all the U.S. military bases in Japan, etc.
So the U.S. doesn't mess with North Korea.
You notice that?
How come the U.S. isn't running around the world saying, well, North Korea can't have nuclear weapons?
You know why?
Because North Korea already has nuclear weapons.
And no doubt, this realization has not been missed by Iran.
Because like I said before, even if you completely disagree with Iran's government, you know, the corruption, the women's rights abuses, whatever, the strict limits on free speech, all these things that may characterize the Iranian regime, they're not stupid.
They are highly intelligent people.
The culture is one of high intelligence, natural intelligence.
The Persians are not stupid people.
And because of that, they no doubt realize that their only path to survival is to acquire nuclear weapons.
In addition, and I agree with Colonel Douglas McGregor on this point, every country in the world watching this is probably saying to itself, holy cow, we need to acquire nuclear weapons right now, because that's the only way to be free from being bombed by the West or coerced by America, coerced by Israel, threatened by Israel, have our land invaded and stolen, etc.
Every country is going to want a nuclear weapon at this point.
It's the only defense against the West.
So my prediction is that Iran will use this very short-term ceasefire.
I'm predicting it's done within 72 hours.
Okay, so what is today, Tuesday?
My prediction is that by Friday evening, this ceasefire is gone.
So we'll see if that happens.
But during these days, maybe it's three days, maybe it's two days, whatever, Iran's going to scramble to acquire nuclear weapons, and Israel is going to scramble to rearm itself to prepare for the next wave.
I think that both Iran and Israel already know that this is not the end of the war, and it's not a 12-day war.
This is not going to be a 12-day war.
This is, you know, we'll be lucky if this is a 12-month war.
So with all that said, here's my official statement that I put out on social media.
Quote, I am highly doubtful about Trump's characterization of this war now being ended and his naming it the 12-day war.
Although I have given Trump mega mucho credit for the war theater that may extract the USA from any further direct action with Iran, I have never seen a ceasefire that Israel did not violate within a few days.
Furthermore, it's clear that Iran currently holds the advantage over Israel in terms of missile dominance, and Iran has no long-term motivation to end this war when they have the upper hand.
Yes, both Israel and Iran may have told Trump they will honor a ceasefire, but I do not believe either country can stick to it.
As much as I pray for peace, and I'm happy that Trump is expressing optimism, his peace claim looks unrealistic based on history and geopolitics.
The real pathway to peace is to denuclearize Israel and disarm its illegal nuclear weapons.
Or, alternatively, Iran will likely acquire nuclear weapons soon, and that will also likely end Israel's aggression and assassinations of Iranian officials.
My official prediction is that this ceasefire is null and void by this coming weekend as one side or the other reinitiates attacks.
Israel and the USA routinely use agreements like this to disarm their intended targets and regain the upper hand.
That's why Zelensky and NATO were persistently calling for a ceasefire with Russia, which Russia was wise enough to reject, knowing that Ukraine would only use the time to rearm and try to regain a battlefield advantage.
Watch carefully this week as events unfold.
We are nowhere out of the woods yet, and those celebrating Trump's peace announcement may end up eating a lot of crow by the weekend.
Hope I'm wrong about this, but I've seen a lot of history unfold, and I've seen this movie before.
It's not even an original script.
It's just the same wartime deception script that NATO played against Russia via Ukraine.
So there you go.
That's my skepticism about the announcement.
Now, as I'm recording this, again, a little bit after midnight, red alerts have been issued for Tel Aviv.
A new missile barrage from Iran.
Sirens and red alerts and surrounding areas around Tel Aviv are being issued across Israel.
The IDF Home Front Command reports a fifth wave of missile strikes are taking place toward Haifa.
So at one time in the evening, late evening U.S. Eastern time, reportedly Iran and Israel said, yes, the ceasefire is in effect.
And then just minutes later, Iran launched more missiles.
And those missile launches continued for an hour.
And then I'm reading that a sixth wave of missile attacks has been launched by Iran.
And so this ceasefire may have only lasted for two minutes.
I mean, look, I'm trying to figure this out too, okay?
And I know that you know that I'm doing this in good faith.
And I'm admitting right up front that this is a fog of war situation.
We don't know what Iran agreed to.
We don't know what Israel's negotiators agreed to.
We don't know who on Trump's team agreed to anything or what they said.
We really have no clue other than what Trump announced, which just seems wildly optimistic.
Because I remember, see, I'm old enough, you may be old enough too.
I remember when back in the 1990s, the corporate media announced that Bill Clinton had achieved lasting peace in the Middle East with Yasser Arafat.
And the, what was that, the PLO?
Was that?
I don't know what PLO stands for, but that was the organization that was supposed to represent what we now call, I believe, Hamas.
And Clinton and Arafat had come to this big agreement, and this was just the biggest news ever.
And everybody was talking about Bill Clinton receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.
And we were told that this was going to be the lasting peace, and Clinton is a genius.
You know, you saw that from the corporate media, which was pro-Clinton, obviously.
What are you seeing now from Fox News, which is pro-Trump?
Pretty much the same thing.
That Trump's a genius.
He created peace.
Nobel Peace Prize time.
This peace is a lasting peace.
And, you know, all this kind of same talk that, frankly, I don't believe it.
And then there's the fact that, again, a lot of the neocon Zionists in the Trump administration, they don't want peace.
They were never interested in peace.
And they weren't interested in just knocking out Iran's nuclear program.
That was not the goal.
It was always, for them, it was about regime change.
It was about defeating and destroying Iran.
But look, in the short run, because of Trump's peace announcement, oil plummeted.
And my guess is that by the time you hear this, gold will plunge.
So my best guess is that gold could plunge anywhere from $50 to $100 today.
And if it drops below $3,300, I'm going to buy more gold.
Because I know where gold is going eventually.
And I know that this Trump elation, this is a highly emotional but short-term situation that is probably going to be shattered, like I said, by this weekend.
And so I very often look for moments like this when the mood is jubilant, everybody's celebrating, oh, we're going to have peace forever now.
There's finally peace.
But you do understand that Iran and Israel have not even sat down and discussed any terms of a lasting peace.
Trump has announced a ceasefire, not a peace deal.
They haven't even negotiated anything yet.
It's just a ceasefire, which is an agreement to stop bombing each other while supposedly they sit down and attempt to discuss terms of some kind of lasting peace.
That process has not even begun.
So I don't know how you can call this the end of the war.
This is really just the beginning of the next round of rejecting each other's terms.
So when gold goes down today, almost certainly that's going to happen.
I mean, it's already falling as I'm recording this in the offshore markets.
But this is a very rare purchasing opportunity, in my opinion, for gold.
Because I know where this is going when the next round of bombs start to fly, and especially if nuclear weapons get involved, let's pray they don't, or if the Strait of Hormuz ends up being bombed or mined or closed or what have you.
Then at that point, gold will go, in my estimation, way over $3,500 an ounce.
And today, if it drops below $3,300, like I said, then I'm buying.
If you want to buy, if it makes sense for you, do your own research.
Don't take my advice.
I might be wrong.
Who can really tell right now?
I might be wrong.
But if you think it's right for you, check out our sponsor, metalswithmike.com.
That will take you to Battalion Metals, which is our long-term partner.
We've actually worked with them for many years.
They just launched a new website with a new name, Battalion Metals, with much better real-time pricing, shopping cart, you know, the delivery pricing, everything.
If you use discount code Ranger, then they will waive the insurance costs on delivering gold or silver or platinum to you so you can take self-custody and have it in your hands.
So if that's something that makes sense for you, check it out at metalswithmike.com.
But if you also want to get something that's going to be very valuable, I've been recommending for a long time, if you can do this wherever you live, if you can get a, let's say, a 500-gallon tank to store diesel or a 250-gallon tank or whatever works for you, you can store diesel fuel in it.
And make sure it's appropriately rated for storing diesel, which in my mind is a it's a double walled container.
It has to have venting because diesel will expand and contract based on temperature.
So it needs to be a proper container for storing diesel, not just like a bunch of barrels or something.
You don't want to put diesel in a bunch of barrels and buckets.
Put it in a proper container, a double-walled container that's painted and labeled appropriately, etc.
Be safe about it.
But that diesel fuel will be worth a whole lot more as this situation worsens.
And that's why I've stored diesel fuel.
I'm very glad that I have.
And I do not believe that everything is going to be, you know, hunky-dory in the Middle East.
No way.
We've seen this movie before.
And this is not the happy ending where everybody runs off into the sunset, huggy-kissy.
No, that's not what this is.
Pretty easy to tell, actually.
So all this is what caused me to tweet out the following comedic post.
We have now entered the era of Schrödinger's ceasefire.
Those of you, you may remember Schrödinger's cat in physics lessons.
Yeah, I say we have Schrödinger's ceasefire where there is a claimed ceasefire in a box, but none of us know if it's dead or alive until we open the box, at which point the probability wave of Middle East ceasefires collapses and we end up with almost certainly a dead cat.
So that's my geek physics take on the Schrödinger's ceasefire.
So leave it to me to throw a quantum physics joke into the mix in the middle of what could be World War III.
But hey, if we can't laugh a little bit at the insanity of this situation, then, you know, hey, what's the point?
By the way, according to Grok, Israel violated ceasefires in Lebanon and surrounding countries over 4,600 times.
So, again, you know, Israel has a history of not honoring any real ceasefire.
Although, Israel is probably desperate in this rare case to actually see an end of hostilities for a temporary period of time because it's being destroyed.
Israel's losing badly.
You saw the clip I played yesterday of Colonel Douglas McGregor saying that he thought Israel could be destroyed within two weeks if the current missile strikes continue.
That's why Israel wants to ceasefire because they were about to be destroyed.
So how long will that last?
Well, only until Israel rearms and thinks they have the upper hand, and then the ceasefire will end.
Because we know that's how Israel operates.
They're never operating in good faith.
It's not possible.
It's not in the culture of the leadership of Israel to be honorable people.
It's just not.
So again, anybody who thinks that this whole thing is just, everything's perfect, it's going to hold, we're going to celebrate, I think there may be a fact check coming on that very soon.
And then there's also late breaking news here.
I'll read for you that Netanyahu just had a cabinet meeting and he instructed his ministers to say nothing publicly about Trump's ceasefire announcement.
So there has been a ban on speaking About this ceasefire, which is very strange.
If you love the ceasefire and you intend to honor it, why would you be afraid to talk about it?
So, something's up with this.
This stinks of a tactic, it has the whiff of the odor of Sun Tzu art of war type of tactic by Israel and the United States.
And that's my gut feeling on this.
I don't have any solid evidence to back it up, but just I have experience.
You know, I've lived over half a century and I've seen this stuff.
I've seen this movie.
And this has the whiff of deception to it.
So we'll see what happens.
So anyway, folks, look, the bottom line in all of this is we pray for peace.
I'm skeptical that this ceasefire is going to last very long at all.
Also, I just see a lot of people online completely glossing over the terms of any kind of a peace deal because the terms are irreconcilable between Israel and Iran.
So there is no way that they're going to agree to come together on those points that I can see.
Maybe there's some X factor wild card that I'm not aware of.
I'm perfectly fine with that if that's the case.
I hope we get to peace.
I hope we get to a lasting peace.
But I've seen people online saying, it's like, yeah, Trump got us a thousand years of peace, you know, like literally saying a thousand years.
I'm like, are you out of your mind?
This is just, what do you even call that?
It's like they overdosed on the Kool-Aid or something.
A thousand years of peace?
We won't even get a thousand days of peace out of this.
We might not even get a thousand hours, frankly.
In fact, I'm willing to bet you we don't get a thousand hours of peace.
This will break soon.
That's what experience tells me.
But we'll see.
We'll see.
All right.
So look, just to wrap this up today, then we'll go to today's interview, which is a very special decentralized TV episode with Todd Pittner, where we actually don't have a guest for this episode.
Instead, we cover the top aha realizations from our 100 shows.
We've done more than 100 shows now of decentralized TV, which has been on the air more than two years.
And so we cover the top realizations there and just the biggest takeaways, the biggest lessons, pieces of advice.
I think you'll find it very valuable.
So that's coming up.
But before I get there, let me just say a few things as sort of book ends on this today.
Number one, I've given you information here to the best of my current understanding, but all of this might be, you know, altered by the time you get this because of other events, such as somebody bombing somebody or somebody declaring something or somebody nuking somebody or who knows what.
So just keep that in mind.
Keep that in mind.
Secondly, I pray for peace.
I have consistently prayed for peace.
The only time that I was very critical of Trump was when I saw him or thought he was moving away from peace.
And it's still not clear where this is going.
We're not out of the woods yet.
So, and I think a lot of the celebration right now is wildly premature and wildly optimistic and not realistic because, like I've said, there is no peace deal on the table.
There are no terms of peace.
So I pray for peace.
I pray for humanity.
I pray for the lives of all the innocent people.
I pray that the Zionists would stop bombing Gaza.
You know, I pray for a lot of things like that.
I do not pray for war.
I am not a warmonger.
And I will oppose war at every opportunity.
That's been the consistent thread that you've heard from me here.
I am pro-peace and anti-war because I know that all wars are ultimately banker wars.
And did you know that Iran is not a member of the BIS, the Bankers Bank, the Bank of International Settlements, I believe.
Because Iran is not part of the Western banking system in that way.
Just like the war on Iraq.
You know, why was Saddam Hussein attacked?
Because he announced he was going to start selling oil in currencies other than the dollar.
All wars are banker wars.
You know that.
I know that.
I oppose all these wars because I don't think that our children should be sent off to die in order to prop up the profits and the pockets of bankers.
That's what I believe.
So anti-war means pro-humanity, pro-peace.
That's where I'm coming from.
So we'll see where all this goes.
Thank you for listening.

Pray for peace and enjoy today's episode of Decentralize TV.
Welcome to today's Decentralized TV episode here on Brightown.com.
I'm Mike Adam, the founder of Brightchan, and you just saw the set there.
We've got microscopes and everything running, but that's not for today.
Today, my co-host, Todd Pittner, joins me to talk about the most powerful decentralization concepts that we have covered and discovered in the 100-plus episodes of this show that we have broadcast.
So, Todd, welcome to the show today.
It's great to be back with you.
Mike, I can't believe it.
We're over 100.
It's just astonishing to me.
And when I look back, I just think how fast it went.
And what I love most about the episodes that we've created together and the guests that we've had on, Mike, is that they are everlasting.
So when Mike and I talk to you and kind of point back historically to some of the episodes and please go back and if you haven't watched them all, literally they don't expire.
They are as relevant today as the week after we recorded them.
And we're going to talk about that.
But man, such rich content that we provided.
And for all of you guests that we have had out there, thank you.
Thank you.
Because without you, this show wouldn't be what it is.
And the website where people can find all the episodes is decentralize.tv.
So that's easy for people to remember.
All the episodes are there.
They're also posted on Rumble and Brighteon.
And we have the docu series that we put together, Todd, called Breaking the Chains.
That docu series is available for purchase if you want to help support us at BrighteonUniversity.com.
It was broadcast for free at BrightU, but now it's at BrighteonUniversity.com for a full paid download.
And it's worth every penny, especially with all the received rave reviews too, Mike.
People loved it.
Yeah, people loved it.
And man, Mike, this world is going hot.
Yeah, no kidding.
And so decentralization right now, if people aren't aware of it or they aren't considering it and they aren't strategically taking steps to achieve it, I don't know how we can help them anymore, Mike.
Well, yeah, I mean, the good news is that this show is a storehouse of all this knowledge that people can access at any time.
And all the show episodes are free.
So let's delve into that, Todd, because we've interviewed top experts in finance, in technology, in food production, experts in disease reversals, and also geopolitics and all kinds of things and spirituality as well.
It's covered everything from that same point of view of decentralizing your life.
So what I'd like to do today, Todd, is play a game.
And I'll let you go first.
So we're just going to play a back and forth game.
You name the single most important aha or theme of these 100 plus episodes that we've done.
Like what, what's the number one big takeaway?
And then after we discuss that, then I'll follow with suggestion number two and then back to you, et cetera, and see if we can cover a few of these.
So what would you say is number one?
Mike, when I think about what I have learned over the last couple of years from our guests and how I have changed my life personally, I would say it would have to be self-custody.
Oh, yeah.
Thinking about everything that I have, how do I get it out of centralized control?
How do I take control of it?
Whether it's my own finances, whether it's my own food, my own energy, my own health, Mike.
Self-custody.
And you know what that takes?
That takes a little bit of self-awareness and dedicated responsibility.
You have to do.
You have to act.
It's not going to come to you.
So it's a mindset.
It's a muscle to exercise.
What do you think of that, Mike?
Well, I think you're right.
That's the most important concept.
And, you know, when we first started talking about self-custody, that term really was emphasizing crypto heavily, like having your own crypto wallet.
But since then, over the last couple of years, we've had guests talking about the great taking, the bank failures, the bank bail-ins.
And it's become more apparent to anybody paying attention that self-custody has to include dollars, currency, in some cases, gold and silver.
In some cases, stocks and bonds.
You know, people think that they own stocks, but they don't.
What they actually have is a claim with a stock broker that says, that just tells you on your screen, you have this much, but they actually owe it to you, but it's held in their name.
So if that brokerage account goes down, which can happen in a financial crisis, you become a creditor to the brokerage account because you never had self-custody.
And then, Todd, what have we seen over the last few years?
ETFs of crypto.
So all these people are logging into, I don't know, Fidelity or wherever, and they're buying like crypto IOUs without ever having custody of the crypto.
Go ahead.
I mean, why is that crazy?
That's all they are.
I mean, it's basically just hitting control-alt delete on the financial system that as we know it, they're just, you know, digitizing it.
And they have figured out a way to be able to fool the rest of us to think that you are making an investment in something worthwhile when it actually is actually worth less.
You know, if you are going, I mean, my goodness, Mike, get self-custody, acquire precious metals.
If, you know, with the financial system, I mean, who knows When these banks, they will fail at some point in time.
The dollar will go to zero at some point in time.
But in the meantime, at least be smart because what we have learned is that the, I call them Druid Babylonian bastards, they can keep you from your money with a flick of a switch.
So, smart people like us, no matter what we are dealing with, whether it was dollars, precious metals, food, medicine, we are going to figure out a way to seize control over those so that you don't have any overlord that can keep you from your own assets.
Would you agree?
Yeah, that's absolutely critical.
I completely agree.
And self-custody applies to so many things that people didn't even used to realize that it should apply to.
For example, you think you own your home, but of course, you know, it won lawsuit and you could lose it.
Or, you know, you have to pay property tax, which is a form of rent every year.
So you really don't own your home.
Now, I mean, you championed a vehicle, the UNA, Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, that allows people to have another type of self-custody of assets like homes.
Can you tell us a little bit about that?
And then I'll go to my point number two.
Sure.
Go for it.
Sure.
Well, look, if you're watching this and you earn W-2 income, you earn 1099 income, if you own property, or if you want to own property, if you trade in crypto,
if you operate an LLC, I will tell you that all of those, there is a strategic way to be able to take self-custody of all of those assets, but not your own self-custody.
I have an entity called an unincorporated nonprofit association that I've helped now over 200 people over the last our 200 shows, Mike.
I'm sorry, our 100 shows that I have helped acquire their own UNAs.
And what it allows you to do, if you earn income, it literally allows you to be able to keep more of what you earn by a lot.
If you own a home, you can donate that home to your own UNA that is yours.
You control it.
You are the steward, the shepherd, the secretary.
But Nelson Rockefeller coined the phrase, own nothing, control everything.
He was talking about entities like this.
I will tell you, Mike, Bill and Melinda Gates and the Rockefellers, they don't have these foundations because they have really good, pure hearts.
Heartwarming people, yeah.
They're not singing kumbaya.
No, it's because they want to keep more of what they earn.
They want to protect their personal assets and they want to protect their personal liability.
Yeah.
And this UNA, you know, I didn't start talking about it way back when, a year and a half ago, Mike, for it to have evolved to have 200 members of our private telegram group.
But it just, it ended up that way because I needed to organize it.
But I started talking about it because it was my form of evangelism because I couldn't think of a better way to talk about financial decentralization, keeping more of what you burned.
And that's, see, what people don't quite grasp about this.
And let me just plug your website.
It's my575E.com if people want to check it out right there.
And, you know, my575E.com, there's a let's go button and all the benefits.
But Todd, what people don't understand is they need to decentralize their own finances.
So, you know, we talk about decentralizing from, let's say, you know, the CDC's bad medical advice or decentralizing from your doctor by taking better charge of your own health with good nutrition, et cetera.
But then people have all their assets under their own name, and that's centralization.
Oh, my God.
So you have a common point of liability to everything you own.
You're one lawsuit away of losing everything.
Right.
Or as we've seen with the government of Canada, where they would go after people's assets because they donated $25 to the truckers during the protest years ago.
We saw that same kind of thing with the J6 protests and how they were targeted in the United States by the banks.
Remember this, that there were major banks that handed over bank account information to the FBI to chase people down because people bought airplane tickets on their bank credit cards and those banks narced on them to the FBI.
Okay?
Yes.
And Mike, this entity allows you to, this is key, to disassociate your social security number you from your financial decisions.
Exactly.
Because you actually get a different number for the UNA.
Bingo.
And it's not your number, but it's a number that you can use to go open bank accounts.
And it's a charitable organization.
So it is your own.
You know what I have educated people about because we can name these what we want, Mike, is like my initials are TCP.
And probably almost everybody that gets a new UNA has followed my advice.
It's like spend the extra 500 bucks for a custom UNA and just make it your initials, like TCP and then add the word foundation.
Why is that important?
It's because everybody on the planet thinks they know what a foundation is and it just has this built-in virtue signal, whether it's with opening up a bank account or a crypto exchange or a brokerage account, or if you're talking to a realtor about a real estate transaction, being able to speak in the voice of just saying, I'd like to run this through my foundation.
That just becomes a strategic way to make this even easier, Mike.
Yeah, that's really powerful.
And I also love how you have evolved.
You and these hundreds of people that you've helped with this, you have a big Telegram group.
I should probably check it out.
I haven't been part of that group, but I should check it out.
But you have evolved because your group has shared what's working with how to talk to banks, how to talk to government, how to talk to donors or whatever.
Like you've evolved this whole system.
You've taken it to a new level.
Yeah, it's funny.
When it started with maybe there was a half dozen of us at the very beginning, what I realized is there were new people that were coming in asking the same questions.
So I would start pinning those messages.
And when I'd invite the 10th person in, I'd say, yeah, just binge read the pinned messages.
Well, there became hundreds of pinned messages.
So I hired a guy.
His name is Ryan.
He is great.
And he manages now, it's called a UNA directory, a UNA biz directory.
Really?
And now when people come in, it literally is like a digital book to where if you are interested in donating property, you go to the donating property chapter and then you're able to access all of the PIN messages because what's cool is it's one plus one equals 11 math in there, Mike.
And what I mean by that is that we are all supporting each other, right?
So when a new opportunity comes along to where a retired couple, this happened out of Colorado Springs, they retired and they wanted to sell their house and not be able to deal with these exorbitant capital gains.
Well, we wargamed and helped them figure out how to be able to do that to where they didn't pay capital gains taxes because they lawfully didn't have to because they donated it to their UNA.
So that is in there, that whole wargaming process, that's what's cool because there's so many people in there way smarter than me, Mike, just as a result of the people who follow you and this show, you know, just a lot of smart people in there.
But yeah, that it has evolved to where now it is just a place to where I don't even necessarily have to answer questions anymore because so many smart people who have such rich experience, when new people come in, there's such wonderful support in there.
They take the reins.
And that's what's coolest.
Mike, and I sent you a few screenshots because I did ask them recently to rate the support that they've received.
And I shared some of those with you.
Yeah, I saw some of those.
I did.
Yeah.
People are thrilled.
That's really cool.
Okay.
Let me continue with the second point.
Number two.
In all of this.
So, okay.
So number one is the importance of self-custody.
Yes, sir.
Completely agree.
And I just want to remind people, practice that when it comes to crypto, gold and silver, dollars to the extent that you can.
You know, you can take cash out of the bank.
I mean, at the moment, they'll let you take a little bit out.
You should have some cash, et cetera, right?
Okay, the big aha for me, the second big one is that how much we've learned to never trust official sources.
Oh.
So almost every time the federal government tells you something, there's an agenda that contradicts your own self-interest.
Sure.
In literally every case, it seems.
So like medicine and COVID, the lockdowns, all that.
Now, granted, we started this show a couple of years after COVID really peaked.
But even since then, what have we learned?
That the jabs are harming still more people ever since.
And that even when it has been revealed because of the new administration and RFK Jr. as head of HHS admitting that there's no evidence backing any of these COVID vaccines at all, even when they admit that, they still tell you you should take them.
I mean, the FDA does, not RFK, but the FDA or the CDC.
They say you should take them.
So you are being lied to constantly by banking regulators, by the Federal Reserve, by the Treasury, the CDC, the FDA, the FBI, the DOJ, the ATF.
Hey, remember, we're supposed to see the Epstein files by now, Todd.
Where are the Epstein files?
Mike, good question.
Yeah, right.
They buried them wherever they hid Epstein himself because he didn't kill himself.
So that's my second point, Todd.
What's your reaction to that where I say decentralize your information sources, never trust official sources?
Yeah, I think that if you really want to get current events right and you really want to get history right, then, you know, I don't like going to mainstream television, but I'm just saying if you could stomach it, you could literally go with your notepad and consume everything that they're telling you as truth and gospel, and it's opposite day, right?
Write down the opposite.
I'm serious.
I am dead serious.
I think that that is a way that you can have your highest faith beacon of truth out there is what they are telling you is always a lie, I think.
I think that's a very good default position.
Yes.
If you find out occasionally on rare occasions that they're actually telling the truth, great, make that the exception.
But by default, you should assume they're lying.
Yeah.
And they are.
Yeah.
And they are.
Well, I was, I mean, just the other day, so there's a family, it's actually one of our partners that's a manufacturing, they manufacture products in America.
And ethnically, the family is Latino.
And the founder was telling me that his grandmother remembers living in Mexico during a currency collapse.
And, you know, there have been currency collapses in Argentina, you know, and Venezuela and obviously Mexico and one coming soon in America too.
And there's been other currency collapses in American history, like, you know, during the Civil War, for example.
So he said that his grandmother remembered that right up until the day the government defaulted on the currency, the government was telling everybody, everything's fine.
Don't worry, your money is safe.
The currency is safe.
You're going to be fine.
Well, of course, why would they tell people the truth that when you wake up tomorrow, you're going to lose 97% of the power to purchase?
They're never going to tell you that.
I mean, if NASA has a telescope pointed to the sky and there's a giant fireball coming to collide with Earth that would destroy a city, you think they're going to tell you?
Of course not.
Not if USAID can make money out of it.
Nah, they're not going to tell you at all.
They're going to say everything's fine.
Everything's fine.
Right.
So what are your thoughts about how the institutions just, they can't help themselves, but lie to us all the time?
Well, I just, you know, I'm sitting here just over the last half year since Trump has gotten elected.
So, you know, I was rewinding and I was thinking about the first days of Trump, you know, and Elon and uncovering all of the corruption at USAID.
And Mike, what happened to all of that?
It's like we just slipped right back into the land of, I don't know what's going on because now I don't trust anything.
I think they substituted Trump with a lookalike, a clone.
You know, because it just seems so everything that they're talking about just seems like nothing has changed.
It's nothing as new new as under, nothing new under the sun.
And so, yeah, I'm right there with you.
Even if there is a regime change, nothing's going to change.
I think that it is just the corruption is so deep.
So we just have to think about, sorry, but we have to be selfish and think about ourselves.
So it's really interesting because Trump's candidacy and election was based on the people demanding decentralization in the government, really.
And that was the support for RFK Jr. and also Dan Bargino and Kash Patel at FBI.
And, you know, even Tulsi Gabbard.
It was about peace.
It was about preventing war, right?
And then somehow over the last, what's it been, 130 days or whatever it's been, it all got recentralized.
And it all turned into basically the Bush administration.
Right.
It's like, what?
How did this happen?
You're exactly right, Mike.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like Bush is back, you know.
And Netanyahu, who is the tail wagging the dog.
And he's this, I think he is the centralized control over the administration right now.
So this just reaffirms the importance of decentralizing from the system.
So just to back to what you said about Elon, he was saying, hey, we had such success with USAID.
We're going to audit the Pentagon.
Right.
And we're going to audit the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve.
And then, like, that was a bridge too far to say we're going to audit the Pentagon because the Pentagon is the multi-trillion dollar slush fund vortex where money goes to vanish or to get diverted into people's pockets, of course.
Apparently, you can't audit the Pentagon.
Anybody who tries to audit the Pentagon gets a missile fired right into their office at the Pentagon on 9-11, right?
Think about that.
Those were very specific records that just happened to be blown up.
I don't think the system can ever be decentralized until it collapses.
And then you almost will have like radical chaos decentralization, which has its own challenges.
Yeah, but we can have a head start, Mike.
That's kind of the purpose of this show, is it's not if that's going to happen, it's when.
At some point in time, it is the, you know what's going to hit the fan and it's going to hit it really hard.
And so for those people who are smart, now, if I could just share a third takeaway, Mike, for me, and this has really become crystal clear.
And you know, I've talked about this on the show before, but I have evolved to have a very dim view of humanity at large.
And I believe, and I think I'm right, that 98% of the people out there do not have the ability to critically think.
2% of us do.
And I will tell you, if you are watching this decentralized episode right now, you are definitely a 2%er.
And I mean that.
I believe, and I talk about this a lot in our private Telegram group.
You know, for the rest of my life, Mike, I love the 98%ers out there.
They're my family.
They're my neighbors.
They're my colleagues.
You know, but the rest of my life, I want to just go out and find the 2% like me, 2% dedicated to decentralized lifestyles and thinking a few steps ahead.
Remember when I was talking about critical thought?
To be able to play chess, you have to be able to critically think a few steps ahead.
And that's all we're talking about, Mike, with the show is giving people, you know, some breadcrumbs on where they could go.
I mean, my goodness gracious, Jim Gale gave me the best gift in the world when it was his time with us on that first interview.
The food force.
And after that, then I invested in a food force because it Hit me.
I'm like, this is right.
Now I'm almost two years into my food force, Mike.
Yeah.
And it is amazing, not just food for my body, but food for my soul.
And it told me that I could do it.
You know what I mean?
I made a conscious choice to trade my crappy melting green cash for productive trees and a permaculture ecosystem that is going to be giving unto me and my family for generations to come, I hope.
Yeah, exactly.
You took currency and you put it into something that's a real asset, which is self-renewing food systems, a food forest system.
And by the way, I want to share this photo with the audience.
You won't be able to see it, Todd, but I'll ask my producer to put it in.
Here's a photo.
I finally captured a daytime photo of the wild hog that's been living on my ranch and raiding my chicken feed and goat feed.
Here's the photo.
As you can see, Texas is very green right now.
And this wild hog is huge and it's mostly pink with black splotches.
And there you can see its ears popped up.
It's looking at me.
And after I took this photo, I said, hi, piggy.
And he goes, and then he runs away because they're very shy.
They don't attack or anything.
How big are they?
I mean, how big pounds would you say that big boy is?
250 pounds or at least 200 pounds.
Okay.
Easy 200.
But the thing is, Todd, this pig is an expert in wild foods.
Very smart.
When he doesn't get to raid my chicken feed, he's eating wild onions.
And we now have muscadine grapes falling, and he's eating muscadine grapes.
And also wild hogs, you know, they'll eat lots of other things from, you know, like, heck, in a pinch, they'll eat like baby birds and things like that that they find, but they'll root up all kinds of things.
And I was joking in a post about this.
I said, this hog knows more about wild foods than most humans other than Daniel Vitalis, who we had as a guest on the show.
So like if we had a competition of Daniel versus the hog, like which one knows the most wild foods?
It would be a close, very close competition.
I can answer Daniel the rifle.
I know who's going to win.
Well, Daniel would probably shoot the hog and then say plus one for you.
But nevertheless, my point is that animals have naturally decentralized food systems that like you and I have to go to an extra step to build a decentralized system because we're so programmed to just go to the grocery store, buy your food in a building, which is you realize how alien that is for the whole history of humanity?
Like when I live in Ecuador, we never bought food indoors.
That was retarded.
All the food markets were outdoor markets.
And that's the way it is in most of the world.
Almost everybody throughout human history has bought food outdoors.
That's interesting.
I've never thought about that.
But that's the thing.
We get like in a routine of, oh, air conditioning, grocery stores with freezer sections.
And that's not the way most of history has gone, actually.
Yeah, no, no.
Hey, Mike, can I ask you a question?
I think about centralized food.
Okay.
I don't shop at Costco because I have a three-count lawsuit against them because they fired me as a customer when I wouldn't wear a mask during COVID.
But I do.
BJ's wholesale allowed me to go in.
Now, BJ's is where I go to get my grapes and my food for my favorite little critters out back, the raccoons.
And I was going through there the other day thinking about our show, actually.
And I'm walking through there.
And I got to tell you, Mike, other than what I buy for those raccoons, I don't buy anything.
There isn't anything in there that I can, in my mind, think that that is good for my body, right?
Because you know how they cut corners to be able to give you more value, right?
So there's not quality control.
It's not organic.
And their meats and everything.
I don't even trust those meats because they are full of, you know, vaccines and hormones and everything.
Who knows?
Am I right, Mike?
I mean, because to me, that was just kind of a poster child of centralized food.
And how many people I walked through there and I saw their grocery carts just chock full of all kinds of crap.
So, you know.
Centralized food has led us to our modern era of mass chronic degenerative disease.
Yes.
And it's, I'm always horrified.
The few times that I go into a grocery store to shop, I'm horrified to see other people's baskets.
Right.
And here in Texas, the typical thing that I see, and I don't mean anything racial by this, is like a really obese Latina mom with three Latino children.
Latino children.
And a shopping cart filled with garbage, soda, sugary cereals.
Yeah.
Yes.
Just the worst garbage imaginable.
And then she's on food stamps.
So the taxpayers are subsidizing that family's degenerative disease.
And it's wrong.
It's immoral to trap a family in that system where you're subsidizing processed junk food.
It's completely immoral.
But people are destroying themselves because they trust the central systems.
Yeah, it's the same with accessible fast food, Mike.
All of that is garbage.
So yeah, let's then talk about how does somebody just in our own diet presuming, you know, even when you install a food forest, Mike, it's not like you go out there like once a week, you're able to harvest it.
You know, I still probably have another year or two before I get into that zone to where I have so much fruit being produced and vegetables being produced that it's just prolific.
It takes a while to get there.
But as an alternative to that, how do we, and you are the health ranger, how do we strategically go about trying to detangle ourselves from centralized food sources, Mike?
Well, I say, you know, start small.
Keep it simple.
At first, you could start with sprouting or windowsill herbs in your kitchen, you know, like cilantro and things like that that are just super easy to grow.
And for example, growing basil, right?
Basil is super easy to grow.
And it's loaded with powerful medicinal molecules.
So you can start with easy things.
Like also, instead of trying a lemon tree or an orange tree, grow a kumquat tree.
Right.
I mean, they're prolific.
They're easier to manage.
They're easier to pick.
They've got a lot more fruit in one year.
Or figs, you know?
You were going to say?
No, they're so true.
Like my loquat tree was my most productive tree, is my most productive tree.
So I planted two more this year, you know, just because I'm like, wow, that's the gift that keeps on giving.
So you're absolutely right.
I think I've gotten two oranges off of my one orange tree that I planted, you know, not really impressive, but so you're right.
It's like being smart about them.
Well, right.
And the smaller, the smaller fruits are usually easier to get started, like even goji berries, you know, for example.
So start small to where you're getting food this year.
You know, you can start to get food in a few months.
Or if you have the space and the water, grow, you know, melons.
You can get a lot of food in 120 days or whatever it takes.
But then you can get into the longer term orchard planting, which is a multi-year plan.
Or nut trees, which is typically even longer, or avocado trees if you're in the right climate.
You know, Todd, it's funny.
When I was on the big island of Hawaii a few years ago, I was visiting a macadamia nut farm.
And I learned that there was another nut farm that destroyed the entire orchard of mac nut trees because they sprayed glyphosate around the trees to keep the weeds down.
They killed all the macadamia nut trees that had been there for 30 years or whatever.
And you have to start over.
So there's a case of mass poisoning where you're killing the abundance, you know?
So just be cautious, folks, with everything that you do.
As you're decentralizing, make sure you're not setting fire to your, you know, the thing you just built.
Right.
Right.
You know, honor it.
Be safe about it.
Yeah.
You know what's ticking me off right now is I do have my food forest butted up to my, you know, lawn, right?
I just fence between it and they always maintain their separation.
It's been beautiful.
But now my grass is encroaching into the food forest and it's really like starting to be a cancer.
And I'm literally in my mind, I look at it as a cancer and I'm dedicated this weekend to getting out there and becoming a surgeon.
But, you know, it's just crazy how it can take over.
But so far, the permaculture-ness of the food forest has held true to where I haven't had that issue.
And it really has astonished me.
So that's a little breach that I got to fix, Mike.
But that's the other part of it.
It just becomes food for the soul because there's always something, right?
Like with you on your ranch, my goodness, I couldn't imagine the always something challenge, right?
Well, and I have so much abundance now in terms of loblolly pine trees.
So the pine trees, you know, you can harvest the pine needles and you can make pine needle tea, which has shakemic acid in it that has been used to stop pandemics all the way back to ancient China thousands of years ago.
And I was shocked how quickly these pine trees would produce new branches with needles.
And every needle has medicine in it.
We've put it under the microscope here in the lab.
And they're also rich in vitamin C. So, you know, talk about decentralization.
Even though my store sells non-GMO vitamin C, you know, healthrangerstore.com.
And we don't buy the cheap vitamin C from China, which is why we weren't impacted by the tariffs on China.
But you can also grow your own vitamin C by growing loblolly or other pine varieties that grow vitamin C together with shakimic acid.
And like I never need to go to a store and buy vitamin C. I never need to buy TamaFlu, the prescription drug, by Roche, because the way Roche makes it is by harvesting pine needles.
And then they get the shikimic acid out and they concentrate it and put it in a pill.
And then you need a prescription.
You need the permission from the doctor, permission from the pharmacist, permission from your government, permission from the FDA.
Yeah.
Screw all that.
I'm growing pine trees.
I cut off a little piece there.
I make pine needle tea.
I don't need anybody's permission.
That's decentralization, right?
Yes, yes.
By the way, I got in the mail, I went on a binge and I ordered a bunch of product from you recently.
Oh, yeah.
I got some.
It was pine needle spray.
Okay.
Yeah.
So tell me about that just because I'm curious.
I bought it just because I thought I've heard Mike talk about pine needles.
So I thought, oh, they're sprayed.
So do I squirt that in my nose a couple of times a day?
What's the protocol?
Well, I'm not allowed to tell you what you can do with it according to United States regulators.
You'll have to figure that part out.
But it is a spray from pine needles that my wife and I harvested.
Wow, that's from that you guys harvested.
Yes, yes.
All the spray that we make is from pine needles that my wife and I harvest ourselves.
And you know what?
Incidentally, it actually, I thought, you know, we've all had the stuff you spray in your nose.
It actually smells good.
It smells good.
Yeah, totally.
Totally.
You know, it's really, really good product.
I know it's, you can't say anything, but I'm telling you, I have it set right between there.
I come up the stairs and it's always right there on a little table.
And I give it a couple of shots in each nostril in the morning and then in the evening.
So, you know, hopefully.
Well, yeah, that's, I do that too.
Show my screen, guys.
The product known as pine sal, okay, this used to be made from what comes out of pine trees.
Okay.
Right.
I mean, that's, that kind of makes sense about the name.
Yeah.
Sure.
And I don't know what year it was, but you know, if you go back decades, it's real pine salt.
Today it's not.
Today it's just whatever chemicals they could put together, put in the pine fragrance and call it a cleaning solution.
But did you know that the like the actual pine salt original product was so good and so effective, people didn't have to use very much at all.
And so it wasn't actually very profitable because a family might only buy one bottle every five years or something.
Wow.
And you actually had to get it from trees.
So, you know, like a lot of foods, but also a lot of cleaning products and so on, they used to come from nature.
Now they're all synthetic and not nearly as good as they used to be.
So we are living in a shadow world of what we used to have.
Like our grandparents actually had healthier food, cleaner food, better soap, like better products than we do.
We're actually living in a time of extreme poverty because everything that we buy is worthless.
Think about it.
See, when I go into BJ's wholesale, I'm not calling them out any big box store, right?
And I see even the soaps and the shampoo.
You've had such an impact on me, Mike, to where it's like I think through now everything I put on my body.
I was thinking what a perfect delivery system the Druid Babylonian bastards could have if they just, you know, wanted to put the mRNA whatever on underarm deodorant, you know, and you didn't even know any better, right?
Or that's what scares the crap out of me.
Here's a great example.
You've seen on laundry detergents, you've seen the claim that it contains like whiteners, right?
You've seen that before, or it gets whites whiter or whatever.
Do you know what chemical that they use to do that?
They use a chemical that's toxic that selectively absorbs yellow wavelengths of light to shift the reflected light more into the blue spectrum.
No way.
It makes you think it looks whiter.
No way.
Yeah.
It's got nothing to do with laundry being cleaner.
It's a chemical that absorbs yellow wavelengths of light.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
So that's how you get whiteners in your laundry detergent.
That is nuts.
Yep.
It's an upside-down world, Mike.
And it's insane.
It's insane.
What you need is better soap, and then your laundry is cleaner.
Okay.
Yeah, right.
But, oh, no, that's too expensive.
We can't have real soap, you know.
Everything's a fakery now.
Okay, so Mike, coach me here because I have pine trees in my back property where the raccoons are.
Yeah.
If I just go back there and I find the pine, coach me.
What should I do?
If I want to go boil some vitamin C, what do I do?
All right.
Well, first of all, identify the species, right?
Okay.
Okay.
And you don't want, you know, spruce trees or whatever.
You want it to be pine and a species of pine that naturally has shakymic acid in it.
Okay.
So just identify the species.
And then all you do is you snip off a piece that's like, even like six inches long that's got some pine needles on it.
And to be respectful to the tree, never take the very tip of a branch.
Never take the tip.
Okay.
Because you want that branch to be able to continue to grow out.
So you go in a few feet, you clip off something on sort of the inner, the inner sub-branches.
Okay, so it can be, okay, so when you were saying don't do the end, I'm thinking, well, there's A main branch.
Yeah, sorry, I should have added, but like a main branch that's moving outward.
You don't want to like hobble the tree.
So clip an inner sub-branch that's not as important.
Yeah.
Take about a six-inch piece, you know, rinse it in water briefly.
Yep.
And then, you know, put it in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner with water.
And if you want, you can add a little bit of grain alcohol or vodka.
It actually helps the extraction.
But if you just want water, that's fine too.
Or you could just put it in a pot on the stove and just boil the water and just make tea with a standard decoction.
Or you could use an ultrasonic cleaner to get a more efficient extraction using solvents like alcohol.
Okay.
So then you've either got your hot tea, you can add a little bit of palm sugar to sweeten it up or a little bit of honey.
And it's delicious.
I drink it just straight.
I find it to be delicious.
Okay.
Just like that.
Wow.
And you're drinking vitamin C. Well, you know me.
This is going to be a project, man.
I'm going to go do it.
I'm excited about it.
Yeah.
Well, good.
That's awesome.
Because I was just thinking, follow our own advice, right?
I have my back.
Let me go figure out how to harvest and, you know, nurture my body with what's right in my backyard.
Absolutely.
And So, a lot of this about decentralization, we have to change our mindset.
We currently think, most Americans think that to get medicine, you have to go to a pharmacy.
And, you know, permission of the doctor, everything, like I said before.
That's nonsense.
Medicine's all around you.
And I believe it's a God-given right.
You should not need anybody's permission to access Mother Nature's medicine.
Right.
And what a coincidence that God put all these molecules into the plants that grow all around us effortlessly, and they are all medicinal.
So, you know, you want to decentralize.
Sometimes all you have to do is go out your back door or your front door, like dandelions, which HOAs hate dandelions, right?
You can get a fine at your HOA if you have too many dandelions growing in your front lawn, right?
Right.
They'll fine you.
Yes.
Well, dandelions are medicine.
Dandelion roots are medicine.
Dandelion leaves are medicine really good for the liver, for detoxification support.
And dandelion flowers are also food.
It's a natural food.
You can cut them off and roll them in flour and make a pan-fried dandelion fritters.
Wow.
But what do most people do?
They go to the hardware store.
They buy toxic cancer-causing herbicide chemicals like 2,4-D, and then they run around their yard spraying and killing the medicine while they're poisoning themselves with cancer.
That amazing.
Like, that is an insane level of species stupidity.
Can I talk species stupidity?
Yeah, please, please.
I went for a walk.
You know, I'm into this thing to where I'm 10,000 steps a day, you know, and I'm just dedicated to that.
I've just enjoyed it.
And I'm walking in our neighborhood here in Florida.
We have all of these ponds, right?
That are ponds only because the builders needed to be able to build up the property.
So, you know, they're man-made ponds.
And all of the grass around all of the ponds are treated by these people with these big trucks and poison, right?
Then I walk around and I look at these people who are just, you know, they're out there with their fishing pole and they're pulling in the fish.
And I mean, my gosh, how poisonous are those fish, Mike?
Because think about that.
All of the poisons from greening the grass go into that water supply, into the fish.
I mean, I'm surprised people aren't walking around with six heads.
Well, they are walking around with sick heads.
That's for sure.
And they've been largely lobotomized.
But look, yeah, this whole concept that we have to have these artificial lawns, this is actually unsustainable and it's toxic, right?
So on my ranch, for example, I don't have a lawn.
Yep.
What I have is just areas where things grow.
Right.
You know, areas where things grow.
And I'll tell you this.
When I first moved to my ranch, it had been used for cattle operations and it had been largely clear-cut.
And the way Texas ranchers believe is one acre, one tree.
That's the rule.
When they clear land, they only leave one tree per acre.
Think about that.
That's nuts.
Yeah, that's bonkers.
And it just destroys the soil long term.
It kills the microbes in the soil because of the sunlight, everything.
So, you know, because it's so hot and dry.
More trees actually preserve moisture, as you know from your food forest, right?
It preserves moisture in the system.
Well, since I have never treated my ranch with herbicides or pesticides or clear cutting or anything like that, it has grown up these massive wild foods briars.
That's great.
And some of them are like 15 feet tall.
No kidding.
Oh.
And then at the bottom of every briar or little forest patch or whatever.
Oh, and some of these briars produce vitamin C. They have their own like rosehip nodules once a year that are just loaded with vitamin C. Okay.
At the bottom of each one of these are like little tunnels that are about this high, just little entry tunnels and small little pathways.
Well, guess what?
Those are the tunnels that the rabbits and the armadillos have built so that they can go out and forage at night and then take shelter in the briars that the coyotes can't get in.
So now I've created habitat for rabbits like crazy.
And the other night I had to drive out on my ranch with my ranch vehicle at night, like midnight.
I was relocating a snake and I saw just rabbits, galore, just darting left and right, rabbits everywhere.
Wow.
Which didn't exist, you know, when I first moved to the ranch.
So now then, if we have a food collapse or something, and if I needed to eat rabbits, which I don't, but if I had to, I've created abundance of that food supply as well.
Like there are so many rabbits, I could have a rabbit a day and not make a dent in the population.
Amazing.
And it all resulted because you did nothing.
Because I did nothing.
That's right.
I stopped poisoning the land.
And where you live in Florida, if they were to just stop poisoning the land, it would be so much more abundant.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, there's a phrase that somebody just reminded me.
There's a phrase that the guy told me a long time ago that, you know, when you're in a decision-making mode, he said, sometimes, Todd, it's urgent to do nothing.
And I just, I always carry that with me.
That's a great saying.
Yeah.
I have been that, you know, like I have four daughters and, you know, they go through their drama going through high school and everything.
And I've used that a lot.
It's urgent to do nothing, honey.
Wow, that's great.
So anyway, okay, we've only, I mean, we're almost on an hour here.
We've only covered two points.
Let me kick it back to you.
Do you have a third point in mind, a third big option?
My third point was the awareness of the 98% of the population don't have the ability to critically think.
Okay.
And I guess the other thing, and we should probably be thinking about just kind of wrapping this up, I wish we could have it for two or three hours, but in the spirit of wrapping it up, you know, I would say that the most important thing to do is don't just consume this content, but apply it.
You know, challenge yourself to do, you know, to just go out there and implement some of these strategies.
Start small, start slow.
Like with the UNAs, Mike, there's people they hear about how they kind of get overwhelmed saying, well, if I'm going to decentralize all of my assets, I need a UNA for my home.
I need a UNA for my crypto.
I need a UNA, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
Just start with one.
Start with one and then get in there and learn.
And then the rest will come to you.
Life is long and we just, how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time, right?
But just start your first one.
Start with the food forest.
And oh, the one thing I want to encourage everybody to consider is think about your own children, your own family, your own loved ones, and think about if you have the means of maybe gifting them a food forest.
That's what I did with my daughter recently.
That's what we did.
And oh my gosh, it has enhanced my relationship with Abby tremendously.
She's so excited about it.
I'm getting updates, text updates, and video updates of her telling me what's happening in her food forest.
And it was so cool.
And it was, and I organized everything through, you know, foodforestabundance.com and Cam.
He's the guy that I go to.
And that's just something special.
If you have the means and you have children, just give that some consideration.
It'll make you feel really, really good to do that.
You know, it's the gift that keeps on giving.
That's a great point.
Okay.
Really well stated.
I'm so glad you did that.
And you share with me some pictures from your daughter and how excited she is to have the food for us.
It's really amazing.
Let me bring in point number four.
And let's just cover this before we wrap up the show.
Perfect.
A big aha realization that just got driven home again and again for me over these last couple of years is that when you decentralize for one reason, such as, hey, I want privacy, I want to be left alone.
I want to be in control of my life, let's say, you benefit from all the other things that come with it.
And right now, we are on the verge of World War III.
So, you know, you and I were filming this in June 2025, you know, missiles and rockets being fired all over the Middle East.
And, you know, everybody's talking tough.
We're going to bomb and nuke you and destroy you and this and that.
Okay.
We're going to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Energy prices are going to go through the roof if that happens, right?
Fuel, LNG, you name it.
Food prices are going to skyrocket, et cetera.
My point is, if you've been living a more decentralized life, it's going to cover you through World War III.
Right.
Right?
Right.
So your food forest, I mean, does, does your, like, do you have a papaya tree or what, what's, what's your main fruit tree there?
A papaya, a mango, a loquad, a peach tree.
Peaches have been prolific.
The mulberries, the strawberry trees, avocado trees.
I have so many different species, you know, and they all come at different times.
That's the other thing that's kind of cool.
Banana trees.
My God, I have so many banana trees.
Oh, I love that.
Man, I'm jealous.
You know, it's colder here in Texas.
We can't grow all those things that you mentioned.
But let's just take your papaya tree.
Does your papaya tree care if Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz?
They will consult the mangoes, but they arrive at the decision that they don't give a spit, Mike.
Right.
So your food comes to you regardless of what happens in the Middle East.
That's right.
Regardless of who wins or who loses or who bombs or who signs a surrender deal or whatever, Russia, Ukraine, China, Taiwan, doesn't matter because you have self-custody, that same concept of your food forest.
And folks, if you really want to disconnect from the control grid, you need to disconnect your food from the price of oil.
Oh, that's beautiful, Mike.
That's a key concept.
Disconnect your food from the price of oil.
And that's hard because all the grains, the rice, the corn, the wheat, all of that is grown with machines or planted and harvested with machines for the most part.
And all those machines run on oil.
So those prices, and then the transportation and the processing, et cetera.
But if you grow it locally and you eat locally and you support local food, now you are increasingly dissociating food from the price of oil.
That's true food freedom.
That is magnificent, Mike.
Well articulated.
Yeah, no, thank you.
It's so true.
I mean, it's so simple, right?
It's like, you know, I have this sugar cane in my food forest.
It just is so massive, right?
But I'm like, have you ever tried to peel sugar cane and process it?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Not easy.
No, when I was in Ecuador, we used to drink sugar cane juice.
Yeah.
You have to have a big, big ass machine to juice it.
I invested in a big ass machine.
It just came.
It's so heavy.
I haven't been able to carry it.
It's awesome.
I can set it up.
But yeah, you don't process sugar cane without a big ass machine, but I have one now.
Oh, my God.
Because now I have all of this sugar cane that has just been so prolific that I haven't known what to do with.
Wow.
But it's, but, but, you know, I don't know why I brought it.
It's not, it doesn't have anything to do with oil.
It's just, it made me think about the fact that you do have to have the right tools in place.
True.
But, but because I acted two years ago and invested in a food forest, over the two years, solutions start to come.
So just get started.
They say, Mike, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago.
The second best time to plant a tree is today.
That's right.
I love that saying.
And I love the fact you're going to be juicing sugar cane.
People don't realize in America mostly that it's a green juice.
Right.
Yes.
And the taste, it's like heaven.
The pure cane sugar is like nothing else on this planet.
And you, one reason it's so amazing is because you almost never get that anymore in food or sodas or anything.
It's all been replaced with garbage.
Do you just machete it near the bottom and then it just keeps growing?
So it's the gift that keeps on giving?
Yeah, I mean, it's a, I believe it's a grass.
Yeah, it's like a grass.
Yeah.
So yeah, you machete it and then, you know, you machete it into pieces that you can feed into the juicer.
Yep.
And it just keeps growing.
Yeah, it produces pups like bananas do.
Yeah.
That's the crazy thing about bananas, man.
I started with four.
Now I have 30. Yeah, you gotta decide which ones to keep.
Yeah.
Ken, you don't want them to crowd each other out either, right?
You want to give one.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And you know what?
I'm not that smart there yet.
And that's part of the process, right?
That's my next step in my own food forest evolutionary whatever is I need to assess and discern, okay, how do I replant those, take a plant away and give it to my neighbor.
That's the other thing that I'm definitely doing.
I've already talked to my neighbors and said, are you interested?
Because I know I have to do that.
That's good money.
That's true.
And so it's a great way to be able to propagate and get a food forest throughout your whole neighborhood that all started with you.
True.
And then your whole neighborhood is more resilient when there's an engineered famine.
Yeah.
Yep.
So I love the fact that I think the timing of the themes of our shows are really perfect, that much of society is very much interested in decentralization, and it's becoming a necessity understanding the common points of failure in centralized systems.
As you know, for example, the other day, the Whole Foods company, Whole Foods Market, they had a massive computer glitch that destroyed their inventory logistics system for a few days.
And in California, some of the shelves just went empty across their stores.
Goodness.
It was a cyber event.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was a cyber.
I think it was a.
So I'm just thinking about that.
Whereas like when I lived in South America and I would just walk to the food market, there was no cyber attack possibility of taking down the local growers who, you know, it's a woman with a table and a cloth of the stuff that she grew.
And she picked it like that morning.
How amazing.
There's no cyber attack event that's going to stop that.
But because of our centralized system, we could have these single points of failure that take down finance, banking, food, distribution, refineries, transportation, everything.
When you were paying at that food market, did you pay with the chip in your forehead or your hand?
No, no.
No, and food was quite affordable in that situation.
Even meats.
And it was all open air market, you know, like none of it would pass like U.S. safety inspector standards for, especially for the meats.
But you go around the world.
You go, you know, anywhere, Central South America, Middle East, you know, Eastern Europe, Asia, all throughout Southeast Asia.
The streets of Taiwan, you go any of these places, they've just got like meats just hanging there, like processed meats hanging on a hook.
It's like, here's a duck, you know?
It's a dried duck.
Wow.
Sounds delicious.
I mean, some of it was pretty freaky.
I've been to some freaky animal markets in Asia, especially, but whatever.
Look, okay, we'll wrap this up for today.
Let me just plug our sites again.
My575E is your site for the UNA.
my575E.com.
And I encourage people, there's a 90-minute free video for you to go watch and then an interactive PDF to where there are 32 positive attributes of operating a UNA.
And that's free information for you to be able to consider whether it may be good for you.
And the last thing I'll say on it is, please, if you have any questions, I do offer consultations on there for $150.
I book it for a half hour on your time, but on my time, it's always for an hour.
So we never, I answer all of your questions.
But if you invest in that, you end up getting it back if you move forward with a UNA.
So it is a really good investment because most people, Mike, who actually consult with me end up moving forward with one.
And it's just a way for you to have your own peace of mind because, you know, look, it's a big step to kind of exercise a different muscle on taking control of your own financial security.
Makes sense.
Yeah, it makes perfect sense.
Okay, perfect.
So that's my575E.com.
I want to give credit to our sponsor, the satellite phone store, s-at123.com, which gives you solutions for decentralized communications, obviously very critical.
And the satellite phones work everywhere in the world as long as you can see the sky.
So, for example, did you know, like, did you know right now the U.S. State Department is organizing cruise ships for emergency evacuations of Americans who are trying to flee Israel?
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like Huckabee, the ambassador, announced that.
So they're actually like chartering cruise ships because no one's allowed to fly out of the country right now.
And as you know, a lot of times in those conflicts, cell towers go down, sometimes because governments take them down.
So you need to be able to pull out of your pocket, hey, satellite phone, man.
I'm on an escape cruise ship in the middle of the Mediterranean.
What do you do?
You whip out the phone.
You point it at the sky.
Dial ET phone home, man.
I mean, that's all you got to do.
Wow.
So I don't want to be at the mercy of the cruise ship and its rules controlled by the State Department or whoever or Israel's government or what.
No, heck no.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Anyway, so that's sat123.com.
And then my website, healthrangerstore.com, is where you can find all of our nutritional products, heavily tested, mass spec testing, personal care.
We've got all these different supplements, preparedness, food and beverage, home care, non-toxic, without all the toxic fragrance chemicals and all those crazy whiteners in the laundry detergent.
We've got ultra clean products, healthrangerstore.com.
See, and that's where after we wrapped up our docu series, Mike, you had talked so much about some of the different, you know, not just the products that you're selling, but just in general, things that, you know, I can refocus on my own health and reconsider what I have in my bathroom and my kitchen and such.
And so I just went on a binge and I loved it.
It was awesome.
That's why I got stuff that I didn't even realize I ordered, like the nasal spray for this.
That's because that was actually a free gift during one of our specials.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
In fact, I don't even think we sell it.
I think we only offer it as a gift from time to time.
Oh, that makes sense.
Because I didn't remember ordering it.
No, it's because, again, my wife and I harvest all the pine needles, and so there's a very small supply of that stuff.
Yeah, I loved it.
Yeah.
I really loved it.
That's awesome.
Well, anyway, look, to our audience, thank you for all your support.
And seriously, go back and check the 100 plus other episodes that are on decentralized.tv and watch them anytime.
They're evergreen.
You'll learn something every single time and then apply it, like Todd says, apply it and really work to decentralize your life.
I think war is coming.
I mean, it's clear war is coming.
We're in war.
But the supply chains are going to get just slaughtered in this process.
So, you know, you're going to be forced to become more decentralized.
You might as well get ahead of the curve.
Right, Todd?
Yeah, they can just send us a thank you card once a year.
Really?
A thank you card once a year?
That we nudge them towards decentralization.
Oh, okay.
When you know it hits a fan and they're fine.
Think of us, send us a thank you card, just a stamp of a thank you.
Okay, that sounds great.
And speaking of thank you, thank all of you for watching and for sharing these episodes.
I'm Mike Adams with Todd Pittner.
Thank you for watching today.
Take care, everybody.
Cheers.
Cheers.
With so much uncertainty in the world, the food supply chain is getting hit hard.
Food's going to become a lot more expensive as energy prices go up because of attacks on oil fields and the Strait of Hormuz and all of that that's going on.
So we want to help you get prepared because I think we're entering an era of really something that escalates into World War III.
And so we now have started labeling our food buckets.
We have them labeled by the number of days that they cover.
And during this current sale, which is happening here, June 24th through the 27th, if you mix and match, choose any six items from this list, you'll save an additional 8% off the prices here.
We've got different varieties of mini buckets.
We've got the 28-day food supply.
That's 28 days for one person.
It's a mega bucket kit of, in this case, organic gluten-free, different varieties available.
You can click on that for more.
Or you can get a Legumes Lovers pack here.
You can get longevity grains.
You can get super seeds.
These are special packs.
You can click on any of those.
Or, you know, here we have our organic blueberry vanilla pancake mix.
Here's our wheat-free macaroni and cheese with no added salt, etc.
Here's our Ranger bucket set.
All of these are available now, and you can clearly see how many days they cover.
And that's calculated at 2,250 calories per day.
That's 2,250 per day for one person.
So mix and match those, and you'll save an additional 8%.
That's June 24th through the 27th.
That's available now.
We can help you get this food.
We have it in stock.
It's ready to ship from Central Texas right now.
We can get it into your hands over the next few days.
Take advantage of the sale price.
Again, mix and match any six from this page.
And yeah, here's some on my desk too to show you what they look like in person.
Mix and match any of these to save an additional 8%.
And I can assure you, this food will never be this price again because of the devaluation of the dollar, the supply chain disruptions, the increasing cost of energy and transportation, et cetera.
So take advantage of this now.
