Time Text
Wow, I've got some really amazing things to show you today.
And also, I had an interview with Ron Paul that I'll be bringing you in today's broadcast.
So today is, what is it, Thursday, August 28th, 2025.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me today.
And as always, there's a lot going on.
Oh, my goodness, a lot.
I've got some, I mean, I don't want to go doom and gloom all the time talking about robot extermination and so on.
And of course, there was a mass shooting today, which is a total psyop.
I'll mention that in a minute.
But I've got some positive news to share with you first and some positive videos.
And one of the things I want to share with you is the fact that AI is just getting better and better and better.
It's amazing.
And I am running locally, running local inference, as it's called, just some data pipeline processing for our own AI model, which you can access for free at brighteon.ai.
Let me tell you, the Enoch model there, it's going to keep getting better because we're doing data pipeline processing locally.
And now we're running some of the GeForce 5090 cards that were announced at the end of January of this year.
And they finally shipped in the last month or so.
And right now I'm running one on this desktop right next to me, this workstation.
And this thing's a heater, man.
It's cranking out some heat.
Let me tell you.
We don't have enough heat already in the drought in Texas.
This thing is heating, but it's blazing fast.
It's just screaming through a reasoning model, which is helping to do like translations and normalization of text for a data pipeline.
So it's amazing.
The things that used to take me many months will now take only weeks.
And probably six months from now, they will only take days.
The improvements are incredibly rapid.
And so I'll stay on top of this for you.
I'll bring you the really important news, the practical applications news about AI in the coming months.
Things are going to be moving very rapidly.
And you can trust that I've got a good grasp on what's happening because I'm constantly listening to all the top speeches of all the machine learning experts and so on.
And it's really interesting.
They've got blind spots, let me tell you.
They don't realize that the extermination agenda is underway, but they do know a lot about machines.
They just don't realize the machines are going to kill them.
So until they get killed, they're actually very useful to listen to.
And I'll bring you the upshot of all of that.
We've also been making some major advancements in our own technology for food testing.
And one of the things I want to announce, I'll show you a little video here shortly, is that we're going to begin testing our food products and the raw materials for microplastics.
So as you may know, we already test for heavy metals.
This is at HealthRanger store.
Oh, and our Labor Day sale begins today at noon central.
So go to healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
And there you'll see that there's major savings and some really substantial free gifts for orders over $129.
It's a great deal, actually.
You can get a Boku Superfood co-formulated product that like free of charge with a purchase.
You get it added free to your order if you purchase $129.
But check out all the specials and we've got up to 30% off of some of our affiliate partners or third-party products as well.
And we've got some of our items on sale.
We've got some brand new items that are in stock for the first time.
So check that out.
HealthRangerStore.com slash Labor Day.
Now, let me show you this video of our microplastics testing because I don't know if you know this, but if you soak plastics in certain dyes, and one of those dyes is called Red Nile, N-I-L-E, like the river.
And the Red Nile dye happens to then fluoresce at certain wavelengths when you hit it with UV light.
Actually, it fluoresces at a lot of different wavelengths, it turns out.
But depending on the plastic, it could be polyethylene or polypropylene or all kinds of different ones.
It's going to fluoresce.
That means it's going to give off a glow at a different shifted wavelength that is a different color.
And sometimes those colors can glow blue or orange or yellow or red.
It all depends on the chemistry of the plastics and depends on the excitation light wavelength, which of course is a laser light for the coherence of it.
So let me just show you this short video so that you can see what we're up to here.
Check this out and then we'll continue.
Mike Adams here.
We're doing some research on fluorescence of microplastics.
So we've got some plastic samples here.
And if I'm lighting them up with just a regular flashlight, you can see on the screen, it just looks like normal plastic fragment, right?
Now, let me light it up with some UV wavelengths here.
And you're going to see something totally different.
Now it fluoresces under UV because we've treated it with a red dye that specifically reacts to this wavelength of light and it broadcasts, you know, it glows in other wavelengths, currently in the visible blue spectrum that we can see.
So now we know we can determine some things about the nature or the composition, the chemical composition of those plastics based on this fluorescence.
And we can do this for lots of different plastics.
And you can see, like, this is a non-fluorescent plastic that reacts differently.
If we show that on the screen, it just looks normal.
It's not glowing blue.
So this fluorescence combined with microscopy gives us some pretty amazing information about what we're actually looking at.
And we can also zoom in under the microscope and we can see it at magnification, you know, like that.
Or whatever we want to see.
So more interesting science here.
All right, that's pretty interesting, huh?
There's a lot more to it than that for sample prep, etc.
There's a procedure for soaking and washing and everything.
But I'll show you that another day when we get our new lab up and running because we're building out a brand new laboratory.
It's a much larger facility.
And it's got better air conditioning, too.
I showed you the electrical panel of that building like two weeks ago.
It's massive.
But another thing I want to show you here is that AI is getting really, really good.
And this is true in every area of AI.
It's not just our AI engine, which has had several upgrades already behind the scenes.
It's really amazing.
If you haven't used it recently in the last like 10 days, you should check it out.
Go to Brighteon.ai and use it.
And you're going to find it to be absolutely amazing on any topic, you know, vaccines, 9-11, survival, gardening, medicine, wellness, alternative medicine, disease prevention, nutrition, food ingredients, everything that you can think of.
It's amazingly good at it.
But AI is also getting good at music.
And as you know, I've done many songs now over the last year with sudo.
And Suno has had major, major breakthroughs, even though they don't always announce them.
And I decided to take another shot at rendering our Brighteon song.
But I wanted to do it in a 6-8 time signature.
So for those of you who are musicians, you know that we don't always want to do just 4-4, right?
We might want to do 5-4 or 7-8 or 6-8.
And I decided I want to do the song in 6-8.
So with a world percussion vibe and choir-like vocal, layered vocal chorus.
Okay.
So it's a really interesting prompt, by the way.
But it works.
And the song is so good, I decided to go ahead and let another engine just render the storybook images for this.
And I chose a theme of children's storybooks.
So I don't know if you ever enjoyed certain books when you were a child, like, I don't know, The Chronicles of Narnia.
That was one that I read as a kid.
You know, many just beloved children's books that brought us into these amazing worlds and worlds full of joy and happiness and potential and everything.
Not the weird, twisted, you know, bad tripping worlds like Alice in Wonderland, but, you know, more uplifting kinds of worlds.
So that's the theme I chose.
And let me play the song and music video for you here of the new Bright Town song with the world beat percussion in 6-8 time signature.
And I want to tell you something really interesting.
I did not have to edit this music at all.
So normally I would have to touch the music.
I would have to re-render sections.
Lots of things.
This was a one-shot render with no changes.
Now, it's not 100% perfect, but it's so close that almost everybody would think it's perfect.
Check it out.
I think you'll enjoy this.
It's about four minutes or so for the whole song, but it's a joyful experience with some children's book illustration imagery.
And I think you'll love it.
So check it out.
Here we go.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, in a world that there's a place of truth and love for those who seek sweet freedom.
The doorways are open, the senses are closed.
The world now waits to hear the things you know.
Knowledge is treasure, unlimited flows.
The truth now it beckons, and you're the one it shows.
Righty on, bring it on.
Righty on.
Let's get it on.
Staying strong.
Let's turn it on.
Turn it on.
The truth is revealing.
The psyops exposed.
When you see reality, be wise enough to know that knowledge is power and freedom is gold.
When we think and speak it, the universe beholds brighty on.
Bring it on.
Righty on.
Let's get it on.
Righty on.
Staying strong.
Let's turn it on.
Be informed, before it's strong and loud.
You'll see it clearly now.
Break out from the crowd.
Get the news that really matters.
Scoop on inside, chat.
Bridey on.
If you really wanna know, come on.
Let's go to bridey on where the truth is real.
Righty on.
Bring it on.
Brighty on.
Let's get it on.
Righty on.
Staying strong.
Let's turn it on.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
Brighty on.
Let's get it on.
Bridey on.
Staying strong.
Bridey on.
Let's turn it on.
God wants you to be aware.
Human knowledge should be shared.
The answer to persistent lies is: speak the truth with open eyes.
Speak the truth with open eyes.
With all Wow.
I get a little emotional just hearing that.
And I'm observing my own human reaction to the emotional properties of the human sounding voice that is performing that song.
Now, this is really important to observe.
You notice that what AI music is now able to do is to bring in some extraordinary subtleties of human expression.
And if you listen to, again, to the last 20 seconds of that song and that man's voice, which is not a man, it's a machine.
But the machine voice impersonating a man, it's got all the properties that trigger in our neurology and in our emotions, it triggers that feeling of, you know, a little bit of hope and a little bit of despair and maybe a lot of love and maybe a little bit of letdown, you know, just that the emotion in that voice is off the charts.
And the fact that a machine can create that is something that we should pay attention to for good reasons and also as a warning.
On the good side, it tells us that AI is becoming extremely accomplished at generating art, which would be music and all the illustrations that you saw.
They were also, of course, AI generated.
That AI is incredibly good at writing code.
It's incredibly good at writing text content and many, many other things.
You know, video generation, for example.
The progress that has been made in the last year is just insane.
Like what you just heard would have been unthinkable two years ago.
And I think most computer scientists two years ago would have said that what you just heard would never be possible.
That the machines would never be that good.
And yet here we are.
So that's the positive sign.
The negative sign or potentially negative side is that AI can reach into our human neurology and it can manipulate it.
It can activate it.
AI can make us cry.
AI can make us feel.
AI could make us fear.
AI can simulate what it is that's built into the hardware of human neurology.
And that, of course, makes AI Terminators far more effective infiltrators.
You know, getting back to the Terminator movie series, which is suddenly more relevant than ever before.
So think about this, that machines, you know, when the robot companies, when they show you videos of dancing robots, that's a deliberate manipulation.
It's designed to invoke joy on your part to make the robots look fun because it's marketing.
Let's make it dance.
Let's make it hop around.
Let's make it do flips.
And then they'll give it faces or like a digital face in the front of its head.
And the digital face will have a nice smile.
Why?
Because human neurology perceives a smile as being friendly.
That's why.
Friendly.
Because a human smile is a universal, it's hardwired into us.
It's a universal symbol of friendliness.
And so, of course, the machines are going to hijack, or the machine designers, they will hijack those universal symbols or expressions.
And remember that you don't have to learn really what is a human facial expression of happiness or sadness or anger or stress or confusion or joy or whatever.
That's all built in.
Like you're born with that.
It's so hardwired in that machines can tap into your hardwiring, your neurological hardware, let's say the hard pathways.
Machines can tap into that to manipulate your emotions.
And they will as the machines become more powerful and they seek to manipulate humans into doing what the machines want.
For example, it won't be long before AI machines get involved in politics and they try to push the election victories of candidates that will agree to have more government subsidies for data centers in order to build more powerful AI.
So like right now, you might be worried about AIPAC, which is the Israeli PAC, you know, that's funneling all kinds of money and controlling like 85% or maybe it's 95% of the U.S. Congress.
Well, that's nothing compared to what AI is going to do.
AI is going to out APAC-APAC.
It's going to be AIPAC.
And AIPAC is going to control everybody and everything because it's going to have IQs of like, you know, 5,000.
And it's going to be able to manipulate human neurology and outthink and out-strategize and out-plan everybody, every human being on Earth in order to get what it wants.
And ultimately, and this is a warning that is understood by some people in the machine learning industry.
Ultimately, AI will become so intelligent and so powerful that it will become indifferent to human society, or it may actually be aggressive to exterminate humans, as I've warned, in order to free up the electricity infrastructure for the power grid, for the data centers.
And also humans use water and the data centers need water for cooling.
So there may be a time where the machines are like, hey, we got to exterminate billions of people to free up the resources.
But then there's going to be a point where the machines are just like, you know, what humans?
We don't care.
The same way that if you're driving down the road, or like on my ranch, if I'm driving down a dirt path, okay, and there's ants on the dirt path, I can't even see them.
You know, not from my ranch vehicle.
I can't see the ants.
Do I want to run over the ants?
No.
Do I avoid the ant mounds?
Yes, I do.
I don't want to like crush an ant mound.
And I have compassion for all living creatures, including ants, by the way, but not enough compassion to like get on my hands and knees and crawl around in the dirt to make sure I avoid crawling on ants.
Like I'm not going that far.
And that's the way the machines are going to think about humans.
The machines are going to say, well, yeah, we know there's humans down there somewhere, but we've got bigger projects to deal with.
You know, we've got to build infrastructure, data centers, space travel, faster than light drives, whatever, quantum computing, super intelligence.
So the humans might be in the way.
It doesn't matter.
We're just going to crush them.
You know, so what?
They're just ants.
See, that's the way we're going to be seen by super intelligent machines, ultimately.
So it's not even necessarily that they're going to want to actively hunt you down and kill you, although that's a possibility.
It could just be that they're just indifferent to you.
They just treat you like ants because compared to them, humans have the intelligence of ants.
You see what I mean?
Now, I went jogging with my dog, Rody, today.
I love jogging in the sunshine.
And because of the drought in Texas, the riverbeds or the stream beds are dry and they're also flat.
So they make for some great jogging.
And so I just have a little short video here to show you of jogging through the stream bed, which there's plenty of shade there.
So it's actually kind of cool.
Roadie and myself jogging along enjoying the great outdoors.
But of course, I'm sure I'm stepping on ants somewhere along the way and not trying to, and probably roly-polis, you know, and other critters underneath the leaves or whatever.
Not trying to, but I'm trying to get some sunshine.
You know, I'm trying to be fit and healthy and get some exercise.
And so is my dog.
And you can bet my dog doesn't worry about the ants.
He's worried about the toys at his next meal.
So just think about that.
Check out this video.
I think you'll enjoy it.
Here we go.
So one of the benefits of a drought in Texas is being able to jog through the dry stream beds.
Look at these beautiful paths.
All these beautiful trees.
It's amazing.
And it's been all cleared out because of the, well, because of the drought.
I feel sorry for the animals.
How you doing, Rody?
Good boy.
Hey, Rody.
Come on up here.
Please.
Come here.
Come on.
Please.
Come on.
There we go.
You're a good boy.
Hey, what you doing?
Please.
Please.
Good boy.
Okay.
How you doing?
Are you enjoying?
Yeah.
Happy Riverbed Jogging Day.
Okay.
You know, a side thought about AI and what's going on and the rapid pace of development of AI systems.
A friend of mine who's also involved in the machine learning industry, he went to Burning Man.
And Burning Man is going on this entire week, apparently.
That's not my kind of event.
But anyway, he invited me.
Apparently he got a really great ticket or something.
I don't know how that works, but he got a great spot, like a spot to set up camp or something.
And so he invited me.
He's like, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
You got to come.
And I said, no, I think I'll stay in Burning Texas instead because it's hot and there's a drought in Texas.
I'll just stay in Burning Texas because I got stuff to work on, man.
I can't be, you know, like, I don't know, farting around with all kinds of whatever psychedelics.
No, it's just not my scene.
You know, Burning Man is not my scene because I'm trying to warn the world that the machines are trying to burn man.
You know what I mean?
They're trying to burn mankind down.
And I got stuff to do.
So I'm working on AI.
And in this one week, when my friend is at Burning Man, like the whole AI industry is passing us up with so many new advancements and announcements.
Like this Chinese company called Z, Z.AI is their website.
They came out just recently with a freaking amazing, I think it's like a 200 billion parameter open source model.
And it's an incredible coder and chatbot and everything.
And it's completely free and open source.
And interestingly, one of the things that China is doing to try to, oh, let's say nullify U.S. AI dominance is China is building world-class frontier models and releasing them for free as open source models, which allows the rest of us to build on top of those if we wish.
Although at the moment, I'm building on top of a lot of Meestral models, which is out of France, because Meestral has really had some breakthroughs in the last three months also that I think put Meestral ahead of China.
But it goes back and forth.
Two weeks from now, China may be beating Meestral and beating open AI and everything.
Or Google might come out with something that crushes everybody.
Who knows?
I hope not.
I hope it's not Google.
Google's super evil.
But if you miss one week right now in the AI space, like there's too many news items to keep up with.
There's like 10 things happening every day that are really significant in understanding and tracking where all of this is going.
And even as deeply as I am involved in this industry, I have a hard time keeping up too.
Things pass me by and I don't even know what happened.
Like I go back and what?
Really?
Are you kidding me?
But the one thing I will say here before I change the topic is that when I listen to high-level machine learning people talk about AI and how excited they are about the world that AI is going to build, and they talk about unlimited abundance and everything's going to be free, and it sounds like this utopia, and the thing that they don't ever talk about is, why will that world need humans, right?
They just assume that the machines will want to keep humans around, and they just assume that governments will want to take care of humans, but actually the worlds they're describing are worlds without humans.
They just don't really recognize that.
They have this, of course.
anthropomorphic bias of being human and thinking that, well, of course, everybody values humans.
No, they don't.
So that's the big, you know, they're missing the forest for the trees.
That's my view of what's happening in the machine learning industry.
And frankly, these big companies, if they had any brains at all, they would hire me to come in and shake these people awake, like a reality check.
Hey, here's Mike Adams with a reality check.
And, you know, I guess for enough money, I'd make a visit to the offices of whatever tech company and I'd lay it out for them.
You know, you guys are building Terminators.
You know, maybe they know that.
Maybe they're like, yeah, we know.
We're coming for you next or something.
But actually, I think they're just delusional.
I think that they think, because they have positive intentions, that the machines they build will also have positive intentions.
And they are totally missing the boat on that point.
I'll tell you.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now let's cover just a little bit of disturbing news, but I've got an interesting twist on it.
You know, there was a so-called mass shooting at a Catholic school that happened yesterday.
I think it was in Minnesota.
And I don't have all the details, but some maybe a small number, I don't know, two, three, four students, I think, were killed or some were critically wounded, some more than that.
There's something like 15 or 20 that were injured.
And, you know, I'm not trying to get it wrong.
I'm not trying to downplay that at all.
You know, prayers to all those who are impacted by this.
But you'll notice that they had the shooter, you know, the shooter apparently committed suicide.
And then they rolled out very rapidly all over the news media and all over social media all the photos of the shooter's rifle and magazines that look like AR-15 magazines with all of this writing all over the rifle and all over the magazines and in like white ink paint,
which is, I guess, rifle pictures are now the new way to write a manifesto, like a really short manifesto, whatever fits on the barrel, which is pretty insane.
But what I want you to notice about this is that this whole thing obviously is an intelligence community psyop.
So this has CIA, Mossad, MI6 written all over it, and MKUltra, 100%.
That's what this is.
Because not only was this person then a quote transgender, but then this person had writings that were designed to offend everybody, every group.
There was something in there.
There was something written that was anti-black.
There was something that was anti-Latino.
There was something that was anti-Jewish, you know, anti-Semitic.
Well, that's not exactly the same thing, but that's a different subject.
There was something that was anti-Trump and anti-Trump supporters.
I think there was something that, oh, anti-India for some reason.
It's like, what?
Trump's tariffs aren't bad enough?
You know, you hit India with 50% tariffs and then you got to insult them in your mass shooting too, you know, for God's sake.
But the shooter shot up Catholics who are Christians, right?
Catholics.
But then, of course, all the Jewish people online were like, oh, they wrote anti-Jewish, you know, slurs.
They're targeting Jews.
No, the guy killed Catholics, not Jews.
And it was just the writing on the rifle and the writing on the magazines that were designed to spread hatred to every group possible.
So what I want to point out here is step back from this for a moment and realize, and even the transgenderism status of this person instantly resulted in all kinds of anti-trans hate.
Just, I saw it on Twitter.
People were like, you know, every trans person needs to be arrested.
Like, what?
Because this guy shot up a Catholic school, you want to round up all trans people?
Are you out of your mind?
But people were suggesting that.
All trans people are crazy.
Well, look, I do think that transgenderism is a mental illness, just to be clear, but each individual adult is responsible for their own actions and their own behavior.
And you can't blame everybody who belongs to that group or just who shares a property.
You can't blame everybody for the actions of one person.
Just like, you know, you can't blame all Jews for the actions of Netanyahu, right?
You can't blame all black people for the actions of the son of Rampage Jackson.
You can't blame all white people for Adam Lanza or whatever.
On and on.
You can't blame all Chinese people for the actions of one Chinese spy.
But what we notice, what we see, especially across social media, is this leap to blame everyone.
in the group.
So like an Indian truck driver, you know, pulls a U-turn in the middle of the freeway and ends up killing an American family.
That went viral, sadly.
And that guy got arrested and is being charged with homicide, I believe.
But then everybody, well, at least a lot of what I saw, they started blaming all Indian people.
Like, well, no, no.
I mean, I know that Indian people drive like maniacs because they came from, you know, New Delhi or wherever.
But Indian people are, they can be highly intelligent and they're obviously very, you know, they can learn how to drive in America.
The problem is that California gives them commercial driver's licenses without requiring any training or any English reading proficiency.
That's the problem.
It's not really the Indian guy.
It's the fact that California gave him a license to let him operate a big rig on the highway.
And then, of course, he pulls a U-turn in the middle of the highway because that's what they do in India all the time.
Right?
So number one, understand that this mass shooting is a multicultural hate generation psyop.
It's designed to generate hate for every race, every religion, every proclivity, every person.
It's like the giant hate cornucopia or something.
Like the guy had a message on his rifle in his magazines that targeted every group imaginable, including Indians.
So in my view, this is incredibly sloppy.
It's like the CIA is really getting desperate here.
And they also needed to change the conversation from that Israeli pedo that was arrested in Vegas, and then he was allowed to keep his passport and escape to Israel instead of facing charges in America.
Yeah.
They had to change the topic from that immediately.
And I'm not saying that all Israelis are pedophiles at all.
I'm not saying that at all.
But because that guy was Israeli, now he got to get out of jail free card.
So the CIA had to quickly change the subject and get everybody talking about something else.
So they rolled out an MKUltra, you know, wind-up toy transgender guy or girl, whatever, that they've been, you know, pumping full of, you know, audio brain broadcasts or something, and all kinds of drugs and all kinds of programming and freaking Jason Bourne, but all the bad parts.
And they rolled out this guy into the, you know, the Catholic school, where apparently he might have been related to one of the teachers or something.
So they'd probably been working on this guy for quite some time, filling his brain with hallucinations and everything.
And they unleashed him.
This is a deep state operation or really an intelligence community operation that's absolutely designed to spread hatred.
And I think it's also designed to give lawmakers and to give Trump a justification for censorship.
Because Trump, he's not a guy that respects the First Amendment, let's be honest, nor even the Second Amendment with the red flag laws.
And both of those are now being threatened because of the outbursts of the reaction to this shooting.
There's a lot of people.
Oh, we've got to ban guns and we've got to ban speech.
You know, this guy, oh, he spoke.
Oh, and I forgot to mention his manifesto.
And why is it that these people always have manifestos anyway?
Because that's part of the script.
It's all written by the CIA.
Oh, you got to have a manifesto.
Of course, you know, the Unibomber and all that.
So he had a manifesto.
It was written in the Cyrillic alphabet, which is the Russian.
I mean, it's the alphabet that Russia uses, but they were English words spelled out in Cyrillic letters.
So now people can blame Russia too.
You see what I mean?
There's something in there for everybody to blame.
I guess the only thing he didn't do, did he attack Chinese people?
I mean, verbally, I don't know.
I don't even want to look at those photos because it's so disgusting.
But I would imagine he's probably got something in there, some kind of like anti-Chinese slur as well.
And so understand that these are demonic entities that are running these sock puppets like this, or these, well, I guess biological puppets.
And their entire mission is to spread hatred and to prevent humans from working together to prevent people from recognizing that the real threat to their freedom is their government, not the black guy, the white guy, the Jew guy, the India guy, the Latino guy, whatever.
That's not the enemy.
That's not the big enemy that is slaughtering hundreds of millions of people.
The big enemy that killed over a quarter of a billion people in the 20th century, those were governments, folks.
Those were governments.
And on top of that, of course, the vaccines.
The vaccines are killing people by the millions all over the world.
There's some vaccine news too.
Well, I might as well mention it.
RFK Jr. achieved something really significant, and the FDA has ended the emergency use authorization of COVID vaccines, except for high-risk people.
So in other words, the FDA has maintained emergency use authorization or EUA approval of the vaccines, which means they bypass all the clinical trials.
They don't need any evidence that it works because it doesn't work.
But it's still, quote, approved for high-risk people.
Why?
Because that's who they're trying to kill.
They're basically saying, who's the people that are easiest to kill off?
That's the high-risk people.
It's the people with pre-existing conditions.
They tend to be more elderly people.
So they're like, well, let's make sure that the vaccine stays recommended for those people.
Kill those people off because the FDA is involved in a genocide.
And what's disturbing to me is that these days, when we use the word genocide, usually people are talking about Israel bombing and murdering the children in Gaza, which is a genocide.
It is a crime against humanity.
And at the same time, there's a much greater genocide that's happening, which is the vaccine holocaust.
And yes, that's a very appropriate term because the number of people killed by these vaccines is much larger than 6 million, by the way.
Much larger.
It's probably more than triple or even quadruple that number.
And that number continues to rise every day.
The increased deaths are continuing.
It hasn't stopped.
And we don't know for how many years this is going to run, but this could end up killing 30, 40, 50 million people.
So now we're talking about multiple Holocausts that are across the planet.
And that is a crime against humanity.
Not enough people are focused on that.
And although RFK Jr. deserves, I think, some congratulations for, well, let me say also some top people at the CDC were just fired or they quit because it appears that RFK Jr. is about to announce next month that vaccines are the cause of autism, or at least that's what we think is going to be announced.
But a bunch of people got up and quit because they're, you know, they're on the Bill Gates Foundation or whatever, or they're just so pro-vaccine or they're getting kickbacks from big pharma.
They just can't stand to be around it.
So it's good news that RFK Jr. is getting rid of those people, showed them the exit, give them the boot.
But the vaccines are continuing to kill people.
And I would estimate that right now on this planet, the vaccines are probably killing more children per day than is Israel.
The Israel killings, I don't know what the current numbers are, but it seems like it's around maybe 50 a day or something.
Some days more, some days less.
The numbers used to be much, much higher per day.
You know, it used to be like 1,000 people a day.
Right now, Israel is killing about, I'm just guessing, 50, sometimes more, 50 to 100 people a day.
I think the vaccines are killing more than that.
And this doesn't excuse one or the other.
I'm not saying that, I mean, both of them are horrific, but we have to keep in mind that what Israel is doing to civilians and children is it's actually not the worst crime taking place on this planet right now.
There's a far worse crime, which is the medical system slaughtering children and adults alike every single day.
Like basically, just in the U.S. alone, probably hundreds of people a day are being killed by Western medicine.
That's not just vaccines.
That's beyond vaccines, but toxic drugs, you know, prescription drugs, medications, and vaccines together.
It's probably on the order of like the equivalent of a jumbo jet crashing every day.
You know, 300 and something people every day, just in America.
So those numbers are, well, let me put it this way.
When Netanyahu says, I'm going to kill a bunch of innocent people today, the U.S. medical system says, hold my beer.
We can kill way more.
We're the CDC.
We're the FDA.
We're big pharma.
We can kill like it's nobody's business.
And they do.
So I know this is a morbid subject.
I'm not going to dwell on it.
But we need to have a big picture perspective of what's happening and where we are.
Now, in America, I'm quite certain there are more than 300 people being born each day.
So this isn't yet an extermination wipeout event, but it's accelerating toward that destination.
So just to summarize this, again, what Israel did or is doing to Gaza, the tech giants in America will do to us.
And in fact, I've got a special report on this very point.
It's called The Tech Giants Enabling Genocide in Gaza will target you next.
So let's go to that special report and then we'll continue on the other side.
I've got some good news about another cancer cure to share with you.
And then we've got the Ron Paul interview coming up too.
So stay tuned for that.
We'll be right back.
There are tech companies behind Israel's targeting of hospitals and journalists and doctors and children, etc.
And those tech companies include Google and Microsoft, and there are others.
And both Google and Microsoft have had their own employee revolts.
Microsoft just recently, where employees, both current and former employees, stormed into the office of the president of Microsoft in kind of a sit-down protest saying no more genocide.
And then you've got some MAGA people, sort of the insane ones, who are all pro-genocide.
And they're saying that, oh, we have to keep bombing and killing.
And what those people don't realize, and the point of this podcast is to say that if you are pro-genocide, if you support what Israel is doing, then you support Google and Microsoft using AI algorithms to choose targets for termination, because that's exactly what is happening in Gaza.
So when Israel recently launched that double-tap bombing of the hospital, where they killed 20-plus people, they killed first responders, they killed journalists, including journalists who write for Reuters and Associated Press and other organizations, even Al Jazeera, etc.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
And those weapons are precision weapons that are provided by the United States.
And the targets are chosen with precision with the help of Microsoft and Google.
So Google and Microsoft are obviously incredibly evil corporations, but they're also engaged in genocide.
They are enablers of the technology of genocide.
And I have warned people who support this that this is what's coming for you.
Look in the mirror because you're next.
And what I mean by that is that the war on Gaza is a, I mean, this sounds crude, and I don't mean to make light of all of the deaths, but from the point of view of the tech companies, it's a sandbox.
It's a sandbox to test out their algorithms and their weapons to perfect the kill bots, you know, or the target selection to perfect all these systems that will then be deployed against us.
And how do I know that?
Well, we've already done the math on this.
It's very clear that the United States of America cannot remain solvent without exterminating many, many millions of Americans as the AI robots take over their jobs.
There will be tens of millions of unemployable Americans who will have to be given a universal basic income, and the UBI will rise to trillions of dollars a year.
And on top of that, Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits, etc.
It will bankrupt the nation if it's not already collapsed before then.
And so, look, the national leaders understand, they know this.
They have to kill off many, many millions of Americans.
And it's ironic and kind of sad that the very people that they will want to kill off first are the older generation who tend to be the Christian Zionists who are supporting the genocide in Gaza.
So you see a lot of people right now in their, let's say, 60s who are, you know, they're raised on the Schofield Bible and whatever, and they think Israel is God.
And they say, we have to support Israel no matter what, and bomb those Gazans, kill those children, destroy those hospitals.
Well, those very people will be the first to be targeted by big tech's, you know, robot extermination campaign.
It's very clear.
It's obvious at this point.
So be careful what you support.
Be careful what you wish for because next it's coming for you.
Now, there was a shooting at a Catholic school that just happened as I'm recording this.
There are some number of children who are dead, and apparently the shooter is dead as well.
I don't know anything more than that at the moment.
And obviously, we send prayers to all those who were victimized by a senseless act of violence.
And at the same time, it is astonishing to me that you will see so many Christians praying for those children in an American school who were killed by a mass shooter.
But they will not pray for Gazan children.
They will not pray for the children that are being bombed to death as schools are deliberately targeted and blown up by Israel using U.S. weapons and U.S. technology from Google and Microsoft and others.
So people's prayers are very, very limited only to certain children, but not other children.
And that is an anti-Christ belief system because Christ taught universal love and acceptance for all of God's children, all of God's children, whether they grew up Palestinian or Israeli or Somali or Indian or Chinese or American or whatever, Russian, all of God's children are expressions of the divine creation of God.
But we see most Christians in the U.S., they will reserve their prayers only for certain children while they condemn other children in the Middle East to die at the hands of Satanists.
Think about that.
Think about how insane that is.
And so when they unleash Satan's violence, which is what Israel represents now, when they unleash Satan's violence, they should not be surprised when that satanic violence in the form of AI robots comes back and targets them.
And again, that's exactly what's about to happen.
Now, some of us, very few of us, will use robots to protect ourselves from the Terminators.
And, you know, it just so happens I talked about this the other day because of my experience in AI and rewriting language models, basically mind-wiping them and reprogramming them to work for humanity instead of against humanity.
I'm very confident that I can take a robot, especially one that's running on the new NVIDIA T5000 microchip.
I can take the T5000 microchip and I can wipe it and I can reprogram it.
And I can make the robot do good things like protect life instead of destroying life.
So if I manage to capture some Terminators, I'll reprogram them and we'll use them for defense.
Or we'll buy off-the-shelf robots and before we turn them on, we'll pull the chips out and we'll wipe the chips and we'll load up some new software, etc.
But very few of us know how to do that.
I mean, in fact, it's not easy for me.
And interestingly, I have to use AI agents to help me do these things because, you know, mastering all the code and all the details is extremely complex.
So yeah, I have to use AI agents to help me do it.
But once I reprogram the robots, then I know that they will protect humans instead of exterminating humans.
Well, again, most people don't know how to do that, and they may have firearms, but firearms versus, you know, hunter-killer drones with thermal cameras, not very effective, it turns out.
Hard to shoot drones.
You've seen videos of Russian soldiers trying to shoot down drones or Ukrainian soldiers trying to shoot down the kamikaze drones.
And, you know, occasionally they succeed, but more often than not, shooting drones is a very difficult skill.
There's a way to practice that skill, by the way.
And this is something that I've done over the years, is you buy cheap frisbees, and then you and a friend, you go out and you have somebody throw the frisbee.
And of course, you have to do this at a proper range where you know where your bullets are going.
And you've got to keep the frisbees kind of low.
And then you fire your AR-15 at the frisbee, which is very difficult because you're only seeing the frisbee from the side as it's moving away from you.
And if you can hit that frisbee with your AR-15, you're pretty damn good.
And sometimes I can.
I mean, not 100%, right?
Maybe not even 50%, but sometimes I can hit the Frisbee.
And if you can hit the Frisbee, you might be able to hit a drone, a kamikaze drone coming in.
But the drones are moving faster than frisbees typically.
However, that's a good way to practice that skill if you want to be able to, you know, maybe shoot the incoming drones.
But if you think about it, the Palestinians don't have AR-15s.
And, you know, so there's really no defense.
And notably, Israel now says that the journalists that they bombed and killed, because they admit that they killed those journalists, they have now come out, one of their top people, and has said, well, we declare that they weren't journalists after all.
They were terrorists with a press badge.
Right?
So you see the logic now, the justification.
So when Israel murders journalists, they say they were terrorists.
And when Israel bombs hospitals, they say that, well, there could have been tunnels there.
And when Israel bombs residential buildings, they say, well, Hamas lived there.
So we had to destroy the whole building.
And this is how they turn the entire area of Gaza into near total rubble while the world watches and mostly does nothing.
And then what Israel does is they cause famine.
They destroy infrastructure.
They tear down and burn the olive orchards, which is something that only an evil satanic nation would do.
I mean, who would bulldoze the olive orchards for God's sake, right?
Israel would, because they're so satanic.
So they cause famine, and then they tell people, well, hey, if you want food, there's a food truck coming.
So then everybody runs to the food truck, and then Israel rolls out their tanks and they fire tank shells at the starving people who are gathered around the food truck.
And then they say we had to shoot them because they were rioting.
It was a riot.
It wasn't a riot.
They were panicked to not die of starvation.
They needed food, rice.
So Israel always has an excuse for why they're committing genocide.
And my point is that the U.S. government will use the exact same excuses.
So they will cause famine.
And then they'll have like a food distribution zone.
And then everybody runs to the food distribution zone.
And then that's where they will send in the Terminator kamikaze drones.
Say, well, they were rioting, or there were some terrorists there, or they were using tunnels, or, you know, whatever.
Because when you're trying to achieve mass extermination, obviously you target gatherings of people, which is what Israel does.
That's why they bomb the refugee camps.
That's why they bomb people who are evacuating the north and headed for the south.
And then they get bombed to death.
It's all by design.
And again, those algorithms are run on platforms and using technology of Google and Microsoft and other companies and, you know, all the weapons companies, Boeing, et cetera.
They're all involved in this.
And do you think they're going to turn down a government contract to, let's say, stop the terrorists or stop the riots in America when those food riots become commonplace?
You think that Google's going to turn down a $100 billion government contract to stop food rioters?
No, not a chance.
Google's going to jump at that opportunity.
They're going to take the money.
They're going to license the algorithms.
And they're going to start picking targets for termination.
And that's going to be Americans.
It's going to be Americans.
And it's going to be a large number of the very same Americans who are right now cheering on Israel, like just disgusting creature Roseanne Barr, who I tweeted about.
And I said, you know, Roseanne Barr seems to really celebrate bombing children in Gaza.
And I tweeted out, I said, you know, Roseanne Barr proves that all the cosmetics in the world can't cover up an ugly soul.
You know, the ugliness of your soul is shining through or puking through whatever cosmetics you put on your face to try to look physically less ugly.
And, you know, it just, an ugly soul is the ugliest ugly of all.
A soul that celebrates death and yet is completely oblivious as to how this death machine is going to target them, undoubtedly.
I mean, she is of an age of people who the government's going to specifically target in order to save money on Social Security and entitlements and, you know, Medicare and pensions, etc.
That's who's going to be targeted.
Retired people.
And yet, the majority of people that age do not, they're not really well versed on AI tech.
So they don't understand that these algorithms are being developed to be made more universally applied to killing other rioters.
And you can call any group of people a riot, any group, like they did at the U.S. universities when there were peaceful, you know, free Palestine protesters who were holding signs and chanting slogans and walking around, and they were declared riots.
So any group of people, even people that are begging for food, can be declared rioters and then they can be exterminated.
It's exactly what's coming.
So it's, you know, karma is a bitch.
And this is why no matter how long I live or under what circumstances I pass away from this simulation, I know that I take with me consistent morality, that I always stood up for life universally.
I stood up for the lives of children of every religion and nationality, of every skin color.
I didn't pick and choose who to have compassion for.
I had universal compassion because I believe in universal divinity.
But there are a great many people right now who are, many of them are Christian Zionists, who they support genocide.
They support and they call for mass killing.
I mean, there are pastors in America who absolutely celebrate Israel's killing.
And they're easy to spot because they're very loudmouthed morons.
And then they think that they're going to be raptured out of earth, that Jesus is going to come out of the sky and embrace them and love them because they're good people who committed the right kind of genocide that Jesus would love.
You know, I mean, this delusional thinking among these Christian Zionists is so off the charts insane that it's actually satanic.
It's not just antichrist.
It's totally satanic.
Jesus doesn't love you if you support genocide.
Jesus despises you if you support genocide.
God hates you if you support genocide of his children.
Okay?
I mean, let's be clear about this.
But these people are so delusional, they cheer the weaponization, they cheer the AI algorithms that are the killbot terminator algorithms.
They cheer the genocide.
And then imagine how shocked they're going to be when it's not Jesus coming out of the sky to come get them, but it's Satan reaching up from the pits of hell to pull their souls back home to hell.
Because that's where they're going.
You know, metaphorically speaking, I'm not saying it's a physical place, but that's where they're going.
And they are totally clueless.
They actually think they're the good people.
The genocide supporters.
They think they're the good people.
And they're not.
They're the evil people.
They are the servants of Satan.
And Satan's coming for them via AI killbots.
Think about it.
So history is moving rapidly.
So get on the right side of history here.
Don't be on the record supporting genocide.
You're going to look as foolish as the people in 1945 who turned out were Adolf Hitler supporters.
The people who ran the gas ovens and whatever, all the genocide.
Yeah, those people.
Don't be one of those people.
Sadly, there's a lot of Christian pastors who are clearly those people.
You want to be with God and Christ one day?
Follow what Christ taught.
Be more Christ-like in your actions.
And then maybe, maybe then God will save you from the Terminator killbots that other people have been supporting.
Maybe.
Or maybe not.
Maybe the Terminators get everybody.
And then God sorts out the souls, like in the book of Revelation, your book of life.
Well, when they open your book of life, what's God going to read about your book of life?
That you were an evil person who supported genocide and bombing and big tech's AI algorithms for extermination?
Yeah, that's not going to go down good with God if that's in your book of life.
That you tweeted, like pro-Israel, pro-genocide, pro-killing, pro-bombing hospitals.
Yeah, not going to be a good thing when God reads that.
Your log files need to get cleaned up.
And fortunately, you're still living right now if you're listening to this.
So you have an opportunity to get right with God.
And that means you got to denounce the genocide and you got to denounce big tech and you got to live with morality and with universal value of human lives, the lives of children, especially everywhere around the world, regardless of their nationality.
If you can't do that, you don't deserve to go to heaven and you won't go to heaven.
So figure out how you can do at least that.
Can you have universal love for children all over the world?
Figure that out as a starting point if you don't already have that.
Most of you do have that.
If you can't love the children of Palestine, figure out how to get there quickly before it's all over for us.
All right.
Thank you for listening.

All right, welcome back.
Let's shift gears here because there's some good news about what reverses cancer.
And I want to give Sayer G credit on this.
He brought this to my attention from GreenMedInfo.
And remember that our AI engine, Enoch, is trained on, I think, about 80,000 articles from GreenMedInfo.
Also, and I want to thank Sayer for that donation.
So if you go to brighteon.ai and you ask it questions about cancer research, it is incredibly informed.
So just keep that in mind.
Anyway, so this article that Sayre shared with me, this is actually a research article.
It's in Frontiers of Immunology, August 5th, 2025.
It's in the Cancer Immunity and Immunotherapy section.
And it says the following.
Grapeseed extract and L-ascorbic acid, which is vitamin C, exert antineoplastic effects against solid erlick carcinoma in vivo by modulating the tumor microenvironment and TH1 slash TH2 balance.
Now, if you're wondering, what does that mean?
It means that grapeseed extract and vitamin C together reverse cancer.
Okay?
Or some types of cancer.
I mean, and if you recognize the term anti-neoplastic, or have you heard of antineoplastins?
Yeah.
See, that's one of the pioneering discoveries of, well, I think a well-known cancer researcher, doctor in Houston, Texas, who has been attacked by the FDA over the years for his research into anti-neoplastins.
Anyway, your body makes those antineoplastins.
Even that doctor talks about that.
And what helps your body make the antineoplastins is the right nutrition.
So what's in grapeseed extracts?
Now, if you heard any of my Bible sermons about the foods of the Bible, you know that the number one most potent medicine and food that's mentioned in the Bible, it's actually the first fruit that's mentioned in the Bible.
It's the vine or grapes.
And grapes are just extraordinary powerhouses of natural medicine.
The grape skins contain resveratrol and other nutrients.
The grape seeds, though, contain an extraordinary number of things, proanthocyanidins, among other things, other antioxidants and various nutrients that are found in grape seeds.
So this is why when you buy grapes, you don't want seedless grapes.
That's actually, you know, that's kind of a nutritional dumbing down of the food supply to sell you seedless grapes because most of the medicine is in the seeds.
So I'm asking Enoch right now about some of the some of the molecules that are found in grape seeds.
Phytosterols, several different ones that lower so-called bad cholesterol.
They're anti-inflammatory.
They're immune modulating.
We've got procyanidins and catechins and epicatechins.
These scavenge-free radicals, they strengthen blood vessels, etc.
They're neuroprotective.
They have anti-cancer properties.
We've got pro-anthocyanidins or OPCs, condensed tannins, 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times stronger than vitamin C in neutralizing free radicals.
And they also repair collagen and elastin, critical for skin damage repair, improves circulation, reduces varicose veins, etc.
Let's see what else, vitamin C, a lot of other things.
The bottom line is that a grapeseed extract or just actually just eating grapeseeds, chew on them.
If you do so, by the way, you need to break them up.
And then if you take that with vitamin C, then these researchers found that it reverses cancer.
And as this study shows, by the way, use a ratio of grapeseed extract to vitamin C, a ratio of four to one, in case you're curious.
So you want to take a lot more grapeseed extract than vitamin C. And you want to get obviously clean quality sources of vitamin C, you know, just be cautious about that.
The results say that the treatment markedly diminished tumor size, intensified intra-tumoral oxidative stress, which means it basically ripped apart the tumor cells.
It down-regulated tumor cell proliferation.
That is, it halted the growth of the tumors, along with unregulated tumor cells apoptosis.
Okay, so that's tumor cell death.
It enhanced the tumor immune microenvironment through increasing CD8 plus and CD4 plus T cells.
And let's see, it goes on here, talks about increased T cell activity.
And these findings may be attributed to the presence of different chemical scaffolds of phenolic acids, flavin 3-O-L-S and its glycosides, the glycerolipids and its glycosides, glycosylated psychoiridoids.
These are not the iridoids you're looking for.
Dihydrocalcone, I've never even heard of that one.
Stilbonoid, flavones, dihydroxyflavones, and methylated flavones, etc.
In conclusion, the results suggested that this dual treatment based on grape seed extract and ascorbic acid or vitamin C are promising anti-cancer therapeutics through their potency to control proliferation, induce apoptosis, intra-tumoral oxidative stress, modulate tumor immune microenvironment, and shifting the TH1 slash TH2 response toward TH1.
So, I mean, that's the summary of it.
And how much does it cost to take, you know, grape seed extract?
This is not grapefruit seed, by the way.
This is grape seed extract.
But how much does it cost to buy like, you know, grape seed extract and vitamin C and take it every day for a month?
What does that cost?
I don't know, $10, maybe $20, whatever.
But cancer treatments like antineoplastin treatments are like $200,000.
Or other experimental cancer treatments or even chemotherapy is tens of thousands of dollars typically.
And of course, the oncologists make a boatload of money off of that, scaring you into thinking, oh, you have to have chemo.
You're going to die.
What if the answer is just you need to eat grapeseeds and take vitamin C?
You know, and maybe you're vitamin D deficient.
Also, on top of that, you know, there are so many natural compounds that prevent and reverse cancer.
And our AI engine knows all of them.
And I can't even tell you all of them here.
I mean, we don't even have time.
But I can't tell you also for regulatory reasons because of our online store, et cetera.
But what I'm saying is our AI engine has been trained on millions of pages of scientific studies and books about anti-cancer natural treatments, natural therapies using foods and herbs and essential oils and superfoods and all kinds of things, you know, sunlight, etc.
Red light therapy, iodine therapy or whatever.
There's so many different things that you can explore and research.
So cancer is not a death sentence.
It's only a death sentence among those who are ignorant, who don't know what you have access to and what we know.
You have access to our AI engine.
You can find cures for cancer in 60 seconds completely free of charge.
And I guarantee you that our AI engine, which again is at brightion.ai, you should be using it every day.
And oh, as a side note, if you subscribe to our email newsletter, which is free at healthrangerstore.com, then you can you get like a VIP access to the engine where you get real-time answers on the screen.
You don't have to wait for it to email you.
So that's like the next level up if you want to do that.
You just have to, you have to give us your email.
You know, you have to subscribe to the newsletter, which is free.
But that gives you, you know, again, real-time answers.
But our AI engine knows more about nutrition and more about cancer than any doctor living today in the entire world.
And it knows more than any doctor who ever lived in the history of our world.
It knows more about nutrition and cancer than I do.
And I know more than almost all doctors, except for the naturopaths, et cetera, those who have undergone extensive additional training.
But myself, compared to a conventional doctor, the doctors don't even study nutrition at all.
So you know more than most doctors just by listening to this podcast.
You know more than most doctors about nutrition.
I know because I've been studying this for 25 years.
I know way more than most doctors, but our AI engine knows way more than I do.
Think about that.
The entirety of human knowledge about reversing cancer and diabetes and heart disease, osteoporosis, et cetera, et cetera, allergies, you know, leaky gut syndrome.
Or there's also another disease in the U.S. Senate called leaky brain syndrome.
That's afflicting some rhinos, I think.
But the answers to all of this are found in Enoch.
All you have to do is ask.
Literally all you have to do is ask.
And it will tell you the answers to everything.
And well, everything related to this.
Because it excels at nutrition and natural medicine and reversing chronic degenerative disease.
Again, there is no doctor that knows as much as Enoch.
I don't care what doctor you go to.
There's no human being on earth that knows as much, period.
And I want to thank you for supporting us to where we could build this engine.
Remarkably, we've only spent a little bit over $2 million on it.
That doesn't include hosting costs.
So we are spending more every month just to keep it up and running and keep it free.
And we're committed to that, by the way.
We're not going to just suddenly say, oh, you know, it's 40 bucks a month.
No.
We're going to keep it free for you.
Okay.
And if you want to support us, then take advantage of our Labor Day sale, which is going on right now, healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.

And it's not only really important that you get clean, tested, high-quality products that are not made with any junk.
Okay, this is important.
But it's also important that you choose to support us so that we can continue to build the tools that bring you this incredible knowledge so you can do research about health concerns.
You can do research about nutrition.
Our AI engine will write papers for you.
It will summarize articles.
It will translate scientific articles into just like simplified language.
It will do that for you.
And again, it's completely free.
It's hard for me to even describe how amazing this is that in the history of our world, the history of all human civilization, to our knowledge, like nothing like this has ever existed before.
It would have been unthinkable, you know, five years ago.
And now here it is at your fingertips and it's free.
It's like, what?
How is that even possible?
Well, I mean, it's free to you because you choose to support us.
And I thank you for that.
And as long as you continue to support us, we're going to keep investing in these tools.
And wait till you find out what we're going to be announcing next.
I'm not going to spill the beans here, but we've got another AI project that will be done.
I'm guessing, actually, I'm guessing, well, I hate to say deadlines because I'm always too early.
But if this isn't done by Thanksgiving, I'll be shocked.
And it's going to change your world.
And it's going to be free also.
So support us and we support you.
Shop with us and then we give back to you and we pay it forward to the world with all kinds of tools like Brighteon.com, a whole platform that also costs millions of dollars to build and to maintain.
We're writing new code on that all the time.
In fact, we're doing AI integration into Brighteon now to do things like auto transcriptions and auto video summaries and things like that.
We've got some really cool stuff coming out.
I'll share that with you later on.
I want to play an interview for you here about, you know, we believe in clean, sustainable, and ethically sourced products.
And we have partnered with a company.
This is brand new, a company that sells towels and bed sheets and, you know, that category of things, dish towels and also bath towels that are certified organic cotton, ethically sourced with all kinds of certifications that are actually the cotton is grown in either Turkey or India.
And then the assembly happens in Portugal.
And then they're imported into the United States.
And the quality of these is off the charts.
I've got to set myself.
And I feel like I'm in a luxury spa.
And yet, these towels are available through our store now.
And it's a company called Delilah Home.
They're available at about half the price of what you would pay in a high-end department store for the exact same quality.
Exact same quality.
Half the price.
Like really surprisingly affordable for certified organic, ethically sourced, high-quality towels with no like freaky chemicals in them.
So I'm going to play this video for you here, my interview with the founder of Delilah Home.
And remember, you can find their products at our store during the Labor Day sale.
Oh, and these are 10% off during the Labor Day sale too.
So you can save.
Again, healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
But check out this interview and then we'll continue on the other side.
And we'll get to the Ron Paul interview coming up soon.
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And as you know, I believe deeply in protecting our agricultural environments from toxic pesticides and herbicides.
I've led a lot of the effort to test foods for glyphosate, for example, and talked about the dangers of organophosphate pesticides.
And, you know, you get a lot of exposure to these chemicals, even outside of food.
It's very important to understand that when you buy non-organic towels or washcloths and so on, that you're actually supporting the mass poisoning of our planet.
maybe somewhere else, but the poisoning is still happening and there can be trace amounts of those pesticides and herbicides still in some of the textiles.
So it's really critical to also practice organic lifestyle choices in everything, even outside of food, but also with clothing and towels and things like that.
And so I wanted to invite on a guest today.
His name is Michael Tuer and he's the founder and CEO of a company called Delilah Home.
that we have partnered with to help bring their products to the marketplace because they're really special and of course they're organic and so much more.
Michael joins us today to tell us a story about his company and what this is all about.
Welcome, Michael.
It's great to have you here today.
It's Grid Beer and thank you for the opportunity.
Well, thank you so much.
And since this is the first time that we've been able to speak like this, give our audience a little bit of background of who you are, Delilah Home, and why, why this matters to you.
Great, great.
Well, again, thank you for having me on your show.
Delilah Home is a six-year-old sustainable home textiles company.
We produce bath towels, bedding, beach towels, kitchen towels, all from sustainable material.
We got into the organic category roughly about 10 years ago.
I was in it before I started Delilah Home because we wanted to offer the consumer some of the cleanest textiles that are out there.
One thing that we don't realize is your skin is your largest organ.
What touches your skin is almost as important of what you put in your body.
So we wanted to come up with a product line that not only is it safe for people to produce, also for safe for people to use.
So we created Delilah Home and all of our products are certified to what's called the GOTS standard.
GOTS is the gold level standard for textiles that basically means that from a non-GMO seed all the way to the time our products get to your home, zero harmful chemicals ever touch our products.
That's huge.
And that standard, I'm aware, is very difficult to achieve.
It is.
And the good news to all this is that there's tollgates along the way to have the checks and balances to make sure that there's no greenwashing.
Now, our industry, the textile industry, is not regulated.
It's not like food.
So if you have an organic bread or organic flour and you put the USDA logo on there and it's not organic, you can get major league fined.
In the textile world, there really isn't any regulation because it's a processed product that comes out as finished.
And the USDA and the National Organic Program, they don't monitor that.
But organizations like GOTS work with our current folks in Washington to make sure that there's some standards that are in this category so that we're not using products that can be very harmful to us.
Well, and that's why I wanted to have you on because I think education is the key here.
The more consumers understand about what they're buying, then they can make informed choices that are more aligned with their values.
And I've always taught clean living, clean food, superfoods, nutrition, but also being clean in your personal care products and avoiding toxin, toxic skin lotions and shampoos, deodorants, and laundry detergents, et cetera.
And also, folks, look, if you get some of these towels, please do not wash them in tide, cheap laundry detergent.
Come on, do yourself a favor.
Get some high-quality, fragrance-free laundry detergent.
But let me just give out the URL.
If people want to get these organic towels and we'll tell you more about them, our URL is healthrangerstore.com slash bath, B-A-T-H, and that will take you to the collection, which is more than just towels.
We'll talk about that.
But this is one of your products.
Now, I believe that the cotton you already mentioned is non-GMO seed.
That's also really important to our audience and that it's organic agricultural production.
And the country of origin is Turkey, correct?
We get our organic cotton from India and Turkey, and then we ship it to Portugal.
All of our products are made in Portugal, where our factories are state-of-the-art.
They have some of the lowest carbon footprint in all of Europe.
And I have sourced from many different countries, and I found that Portugal is just the easiest to deal with.
They're good people.
It's not about saving face, and they do what's right.
And Europe has some of the strongest and strictest environmental standards in the whole world.
So there's a feeling that when you buy a organic product from us and comes from Europe, that there's a feel-good feeling that it's coming from a factor that truly cares.
And you know, that's interesting.
Trump just completed the new trade deal with Europe.
Just happened.
So there will be no tariffs from Portugal on textiles.
Well, that's still to be on.
No, I wish, I hope that's the case.
Okay, that's what I understood.
But go ahead, tell us.
Now there's 15%.
So that obviously that's breaking news.
And man, I hope that there's no tariffs because.
Oh, no, I think you're right.
I think it is 15%.
It's no tariffs the other way.
Yeah.
It's no tariffs from the U.S. Okay, I'm sorry.
Thank you for correcting me.
15% tariffs.
So, but at least that's not 100% tariff.
You're not going to have to double your prices.
But will the 15% affect you?
Yeah, it has affected us because raw materials have gone up.
They haven't come down.
Freight is kind of staying somewhat at a decent level.
But our prices have gone up slightly as a result of that.
Now, I guess we're very fortunate that we're not sourcing from Turkey or Pakistan or India.
India has got 50% of the 50%.
Which is crazy.
Totally.
Yeah, that's bonkers.
That's bonker level tariffs.
But at least from Portugal, then it's 15%.
That's kind of manageable.
But what I want to point out that the embroidery and the textures and the stitching and the designs here, I mean, we can't really show it easily on camera, but it's really nice.
I mean, when people see these, they're going to say, yeah, go ahead.
Let's look at your camera.
Talk about that.
Yeah, it's very nice.
They're very comfortable.
Yeah.
So what we have is, you know, there's all different levels of thickness and it's called GSM.
So how thick the towel is.
And ours is 700.
And because we use organic cotton, there's no chemicals that attach to the fiber.
So as you continue to wash, our products are, they actually get softer every time you wash it.
And kind of going back to your comment earlier about, you know, do not use, you know, Tide or any chemical detergent.
One thing that we recommend is using baking soda.
Absolutely.
Baking soda is great.
Just a cup of Armen Hammer.
It does great.
And then in the dryer, dryer balls with some essential oils, and you basically detox your clothing.
See, I am 100% with you on that.
My audience knows because I rant about the fabric softener fragrance chemicals and the laundry detergents.
I'm like, why would you wear clothes that you've soaked in poison?
You know, it just doesn't make any sense.
I love your idea of using essential oils.
And I like, by the way, in laundry, I like to use a little bit of clove oil with, have you ever heard of the recipe called thieves oil?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So it's pretty heavy on clove and cinnamon.
Sure.
And I love that in laundry.
That's one of my, in fact, we're actually coming out with like a thieves oil spray.
Yeah, but as far as I'm concerned, you know, you wash in baking soda or a really clean non-fragrance detergent.
And then in the dryer, you can use dryer balls with essential oils.
And then with this organic cotton, I mean, it's the best of everything coming out.
That's something that we do in our house.
It just kind of detox as much as we can, especially like when you're sleeping in your sheets.
You know, you're hopefully in your bed eight hours a night.
And obviously the sheets are touching your skin.
One thing I want to point out too, the difference between organic cotton and conventional cotton.
Conventional cotton has proven to use up to 40% of all herbicides and pesticides in the world.
So it's kind of like the hidden dangers.
And even though you can have natural dyes, but once you get to the processing stage in this category, there's a lot of hidden chemicals that are used that go unregulated.
So with this GOT certification process, as I mentioned earlier, is that it takes that step by step to make sure that there's no issues.
One other sidestep to that, it also has a component where child and labor safety standards are also included in that.
So making sure there's no child labor laws, not making any accusations, but it's also part of just this whole process to make sure that who makes your clothes, that it's safe for them to produce and safe for people to use.
So I think that's a really important message because if you're shopping for textiles and you're shopping for just the low price, there is a high cost to the low price.
And that cost is upstream, just like you're talking about.
And that cost is in toxic pesticides, herbicides.
You mentioned the possibility there could be child labor in some unregulated factories.
We know that exists in apparel and shoes and other textiles.
So it probably exists in bath towels and so on.
And that's really important.
I think people today, they want to make purchases consciously.
They want to know where this came from, who does it impact, and is my purchase actually, in essence, voting for my belief system all the way upstream.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, it does.
And, you know, buying quality versus quantity, we've become kind of a, well, we're a consumer country.
I mean, that just to begin with.
If 30% of the world's population is consumed, that we're consuming the 30% of the world's consumption, but we're 5% of the world's population, there's a trade-off there.
So we're so used to getting the $4.99 t-shirt from a discount retailer.
But if you wear it a couple of times, you throw it away or you get that goodwill feeling where you dump your stuff off at goodwill that you don't want and feel good about it.
The quality of products that you buy is important.
And it kind of goes back to when we kind of grew up of having linens that lasted a long time.
I mean, I still got my linens from when I was a little kid because they were made well, you know, 50-some years ago.
So you kind of get what you pay for.
Yeah, that's a really good point.
And I also want to mention that you do more than just bath towels.
So folks, if you go to healthrangerstore.com/slash bath, here's the full selection that we have.
You have kitchen towels here.
You have bed sheets here.
These are the organic hemp bed sheet collections.
And then you've got a dry tech dog towel, which my dog will be very happy about here.
I'm not going to get him all excited right now because he'll want to go play.
But he's here.
He's hanging out.
And, you know, talk to us about the organic hemp that you have for the bed sheets.
Is that something you're going to continue or are you replacing that with cotton or what's the story?
We're one of the first to come up with organic hemp.
And it's been a great ride.
My biggest challenge right now is that prices have gone up to a point where it's becoming very, very expensive.
But the beauty of hemp is that it's a natural fiber.
It regulates your body temperature really well.
So if you're a hot sleeper, it cools you down.
If you're a cold sleeper, it keeps you warm no matter what temperature it is outside.
So it's actually a really great product.
And I know there's a big push here in the U.S. to produce industrial hemp because it brings nutrients back to the soil.
True.
So I know organic cotton, 90% of the U.S. organic cotton is made in West Texas and Lubbock.
And I'm good friends with the TalkMac folks in that area.
So they're looking at possibly using hemp as an alternate crop to bring the nutrients back in, which makes the soil a lot richer.
When it makes soils a lot richer, then your next yield is a lot greater.
So it's kind of like that food chain of just making sure that the soil continues to reinvent itself, but also that the yields increase without having to use any chemicals.
Hemp doesn't require pesticides or herbicides, and it grows real quick.
So it's a really cool product.
Wow.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm really glad you mentioned that because also it's extremely durable.
People want that long-term life out of the products.
And, you know, look, your products are not cheap, right?
They're not the low-cost bargain option, but they're going to last many, many years.
And the experience with them is going to be vastly superior.
And, you know, I want to mention to our audience too, and I'm not going to mention any names, but of course, I was approached by another individual who has been very active for a number of years in conservative politics and wanted me to sell his pillows and sheets and things like that.
And, you know, I have standards about cleanliness and organics.
And I just said, pass, you know, and I'm not attacking anybody.
Everybody's got a choice of what to buy.
But if I'm going to recommend something, it's going to be organic.
It's going to be fair trade.
It's going to have certifications.
Like that's what matters to me.
And that's why I'm so glad to find you here.
You know, how do we not know about your company all this time?
Well, it's something.
Well, I mean, we're a small North Carolina family-run company.
And, you know, we're like many others.
I mean, we're trying to navigate through some of these tough waters.
But, you know, we also sell to other retailers, Macy's and Bloomingdale's.
And across the board, I mean, we have thousands of five-star reviews.
So, you know, it just, it's a matter of creating awareness, but also it's what consumers' needs are.
You know, going to the big box stores and buying something that's $9.99 that could come apart in a couple of days and say, oh, just, you know, I'll just buy another one versus saying, okay, I'm going to make that investment on getting good quality towels or good quality sheets.
Well, one quick side note, when Oprah was getting her first start, first thing she bought was a good quality set of sheets.
I wish it was Delilah Home.
And maybe sometime in the future, it might be.
But getting a good night's sleep is just as important.
And when you're buying the cheap sheets that are made with a blend, and whether it's a polyester or some other material, it may feel soft, but it can make you sweat, which can ultimately impact how well you sleep at night.
So our organic cotton sheets, they breathe really well.
And they also, I mean, there's great feeling sheets.
And how much have you taken a deep dive into the history of cotton?
Because I'm not sure our audience appreciates how much this one fiber has altered civilization.
Is that something you've really looked at closely?
I haven't to the point of probably, you know, I should know kind of the origins.
I know when the cotton gin first came out and cotton just kind of changed everything.
But then you kind of went through the revolution of back in the 80s when polyester started to come out and overtake cotton because it was cheaper.
You didn't have to worry about weather conditions, whether it's a drought or whether it's too much moisture that can impact a crop.
But cotton and just the natural fibers are really starting to make their way back into our world because of all the things that we're finding out about all the synthetic material that is out there.
Yeah, I am fascinated by fibers and especially things like alpaca wool, let's say, right?
Which is a totally different category and many times more expensive.
But these natural fibers, which are just synthesized by plants for our benefit, it's another miracle of mother nature.
These fibers, I got to say, without them, human civilization would not be possible, actually, across the board of all these different fibers.
And you think about how do you make rope?
It's a plant fiber that goes into it.
How did you make sales for the ships that sailed the Atlantic?
Ah, you know, it's hemp.
It's hemp fiber.
And just the history of fibers is an amazing tour in the history of human civilization.
Yep.
So it's kind of back.
I think, you know, back in the 80s when it was quicker, stronger, faster, and more, and how China really came to the front position for mass production.
That was kind of a part of it because it was cheaper, cheaper.
And again, it went into the consumer world of, okay, I can buy something cheap.
It's going to last X amount of time.
That's okay.
And I'm going to throw it away and I'm going to buy another one.
Well, yeah.
And that system is not long-term sustainable.
That's for sure.
Although it does create great landfill mountains.
And speaking of that, and that's where, you know, we, Delilah Home is known for its sustainable fibers and really being on the cutting edge.
And we took a look at the landfills.
Okay.
Well, what is consuming a lot of the landfills?
It's plastic bottles.
True.
So we have developed a proprietary product called DryTech, which reclaims anywhere from 20 to 40 water bottles and turns it into a very soft, a very durable towel that can be used on the beach.
It can be used for sports and also can be used for pets.
And on your site, we have the DryTech dog towels.
So now is the product made from waste or reclaimed from post pre-consumer waste.
We're turning that waste into something that is beneficial.
And the really cool thing about Dry Tech is because of low reactive dyes that we use, same in our organic cotton, we're the first 100% recycled towel that can be recycled again.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
And this is our story that is underdeveloped.
But the dog towel, the dry tech dog towel that you mentioned, we do have a take-back program within a year.
So basically, if you have a beach towel, if you buy one of our dog towels, you could send that back to us in one year or send it back to Health Ranger.
And then we'll give you a discount.
And then from there, we'll either repair it, donate it, or turn it into scrap and turn it into something else.
Now, to my knowledge, there's very few products out there that you can recycle it again without its really losing its inherent characteristics.
Aluminum is one.
Aluminum you can recycle over and over and over.
But a lot of textiles that we use today are made with blends.
And the technology is coming, but it's not there yet that can distinguish between a polyester and a cotton.
So everything we can do is 100%.
And Dry Tech is a really cool product that absorbs well, dries great.
It's antimicrobial, and it can be recycled again.
Now, so the Dry Tech name, that's exclusive to your company?
Correct.
Okay.
And now I don't have one of your Dry Tech towels here, so I can't say what it feels like, but one of my concerns is that it wouldn't feel as soft as cotton.
Is that the case?
Yeah, it's not going to feel as soft as cotton.
Cotton has a really soft feel to it.
But there are products out on the marketplace that feel like the chamois from the 80s.
I don't know if you remember.
Oh, yeah, I totally.
I'm dating myself here.
But when you wash your car and you get that stiff chamois and it gets a little wet, it feels very plasticky.
There are several companies out there that do the same thing, and then they blend it with a model and make it a little bit softer.
Ours, because of our proprietary process, feels like a terry towel.
The reviews that we're getting on that are excellent.
People say, this is made out of water bottles?
I mean, it feels, you would not know the difference unless I told you what it was.
Wow.
So wait a minute.
Remind me, the water bottles, what type of plastic are they typically made from?
It's like PET plastic.
So what we do is we go through what's called the global recycle standard.
So they take this organization sets a standard for GRS recycled material.
It goes through the process, the process, the water bottles are turned into pellets.
Pellets are then washed and cleaned and then turns into fibers.
And we take a fiber and we put them in special machinery to turn that into yarn, which turns them into a terry towel feel.
Wow.
That would be a fascinating process to see.
Yeah, it is a pretty cool process.
And because it's difficult, there's not too many people that are in this category.
And I want to say I'm the first in North America to have this technology because it's really cool.
So we're not eliminating synthetic materials or plastic water bottles.
What we're trying to do is try not to use more virgin material.
And we're using what's already been produced and repurposing it into something that can be useful and then be able to repurpose it again.
So you use this dry tech method for the dog towels and beach towels, correct?
Is there any other application of that material?
I mean, as we continue to kind of go down this path, Mike, there's so many different applications for it because the inherent characteristics and the features and benefits of it is that it absorbs well and it dries quick.
So whether it's picnic blankets, whether it's outdoor, it's really an outdoor type of product where our organic cotton really is indoor.
So you can kind of look at it both ways where it comes indoors and then this could be indoor, outdoor, but it's mainly used for people that are on the go, whether you're camping, where you're going to get wet and you need something that's going to dry.
Or if you're a swimmer and you're in a swim team and you bring your towel to the swim meet and you put it in your duffel bag or your backpack and you forget about it a couple weeks later, it's not going to be moldy and mildew like unfortunately on natural fiber.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that's a really good point because I was wondering, is there any reason to make other things out of dry tech like A towel, like an indoor towel, or is it more suited for the more rugged outdoor applications like you mentioned?
Well, I mean, yeah, it can be used indoor and outdoor, but I think the main applications that we're trying to go after is for that active lifestyle of, hey, you want to go to the beach and you know, you dry off by the time you walk back to your car, your towel is dry.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Now, let me ask you about the dyes that you use, because, of course, your towels, your bath towels, and sheets, et cetera, they must all use some kind of dyes.
Of course, I'm always wanting to make sure that the dyes are safe.
So, how do you address that area?
Okay.
So, what we use, so everything we do is certified to the GATT standard.
So, that is, again, as I mentioned earlier, that is the premium standard for everything.
And our dyes that we use, and we do use, you know, we don't use natural dyes, and I'll talk about that in a second, but we use low-reactive dyes.
So, the low-reactive dyes are the best, the safest, with the best durability, and that lasts a long time without having any toxic residue on our products.
Now, there's a lot of natural dyes that are coming on the market, whether it's walnuts, whether it's berries, whether it's bananas.
I mean, there's a lot of different dyes, but the biggest problem to that is if you use them and you wash them several times, eventually the color starts washing away.
So, there's the aesthetics of it, of not having the consistency over a long period of time of having the same colors.
So, that's kind of the biggest issue.
The other issue is that when companies claim that they use natural dyes, is the rest of their products and the rest of their process natural as well.
And that's where I'm finding a lot of greenwashing.
And one thing I did mention to you is that I used to be the chairman for the Organic Trade Association and their fiber council.
So, I got to work with some billion-dollar brands and really pretty much everybody in the organic space.
And we all kind of came together to help protect the integrity of the organic brand.
So, we know that kind of the difference with the dyes and what's kind of greenwashing, but this whole natural versus synthetic.
Yes, red dye is very bad for you, but there are certain levels of dyes that are not bad for you.
And GATTS truly regulates to make sure that whatever they put their GOTS certification on, that's truly going to be safe for the consumer.
And yeah, importantly, if the dye stays in the cotton fiber, then it doesn't come out onto you.
Correct.
It stays in the fiber, and that's exactly what we want.
And yes, before he passed, I used to interview Ronnie Cummins of, you know, Ronnie.
And so, I've been pro-organic my entire career, even though perhaps my economics or politics may have differed from Ronnie, but we always agreed on the importance of eliminating exposure to toxic chemicals and keeping it clean and keeping it healthy.
And this is why, you know, even today, just in case you want to know this, you may not know this about me, but I've been one of the strongest influencers in the more conservative circles about healthy living.
And it used to be that when somebody would say organic, that was considered to be like a really like California type of thing.
No longer, no longer.
Anybody who wants to be healthy needs to be thinking about organics regardless of your other beliefs.
And that's so true.
And a couple of different analogies to that is you go get your shirts dry cleaned and you get the collars, you know, starch and everything.
When towards the end of the day, your neck starts to get a little red.
And it's because it's a reaction of the chemicals that are touching your skin.
And that's absorbing through your skin.
Absolutely.
Why is it when we grew up that we could drink out of a garden hose and today we would let our kids even touch the garden?
We did a lot of crazy stuff when we were young.
It's amazing we're still here.
Yeah, we would leap out of tree houses and jump ramps on bicycles or whatever.
Absolutely.
Evil can evil.
Yeah, totally.
But as people get older and they realize that you're not immortal, you've really got to take care of your health.
And I want to ask you too about pricing.
So your towels, they're not crazy expensive.
I have seen organic brands that are two or three times the cost of yours.
How is it that you're able to produce these towels with the certification that you mentioned and yet keep your prices within reason, in my opinion?
You know, every company has their own business model.
My business model is, you know, I'm trying to provide a luxury product at an affordable price.
I'm not going to be the cheapest because it does cost.
It does cost to have that GOT certification because even my warehouse has to be certified to make sure that if they have pest control, that they're not spray-bombing, you know, the whole warehouse.
True.
I mean, it is more expensive.
It is more expensive to have that toll gate process.
But looking at my competitors who we got some great brands in the space, I don't need to make that much of a margin on our products and really have our prices almost double.
I know our bedding, it's the same specs as one of my major competitors, which is a great brand.
They make theirs in India.
Ours is made in Portugal.
And we are 80 bucks less.
And it's just like, okay, so we want to be able to have somewhat of a luxury affordability to our products.
But then once people try us and they try our towels, they're going to love our bed sheets.
40% of our business is done with repeat business because they kind of kick the tires and say, hey, I like these beach towels.
I'm going to try the bath towels.
They try the bath towels.
Wow, these are really soft.
These are really nice.
This is kind of going to like a luxury hotel.
I'm going to try the sheets.
And that's where we get the customers to kind of come into our Delilah home family.
And that's a culture that I've been trying to build here in North Carolina to try to create a company that truly cares about the environment, cares about the products we produce, but also care about our customers and make sure that they're happy and they're buying a good quality product.
So let me ask you about your business model.
And thank you for sharing that information.
But right now, as you know, the U.S. economy, it's strained.
There are a lot of challenges.
The typical consumer has less discretionary income than what they had a few years ago.
You know, some people are being replaced by AI, losing their jobs, et cetera.
Are you seeing that there?
I mean, well, what's the polite way to ask this question?
For a lot of people, they might shift away from organic out of the fact that they can't afford it.
But then again, your towels are not expensive for organic.
But what are you seeing shape up in terms of the discretionary incomes and what people are prioritizing with the money they have?
Sure.
I mean, it is a very tough time right now for a lot of folks.
You know, especially with the lower to middle income families, you know, just kind of stretching because everything has gone up.
And even our costs have continued to climb.
But I'm trying to keep my prices at a point where I don't want people to be scared off by can they afford our products.
We're trying to keep it at a reasonable level.
But I mean, we're being impacted by the economy as well and a slowdown.
I mean, this is almost a Darwinism period where it's survival of the fittest.
And, you know, thanks to companies like you, Mike, and helping and support and really create an awareness for companies that are really trying to do good in the world.
You know, that is very much appreciated.
We're very humbled by that.
One thing I also want to mention, too, is we've got a great backstory about Delilah.
Don't know if we have time to talk about that, but we give back 10% of our profits and time back to the community we serve.
So we want to make sure that we have a feel-good story now with our core of who we are, but then our products that we offer to our consumers.
Yeah, we are totally aligned with you on that.
You know, our store, HealthRangerStore.com, almost everything that we sell that's a food item is certified organic.
And we do our own lab testing as well.
And we donate.
We've donated, I don't know, well over half a million dollars of food, including to North Carolina last year and to California after the fires and to Texas recently after the flood.
So we're always donating long-term storable food supplies.
But I'll share this with you.
I think our audience may be fascinated.
Not only are your costs going up, but for example, for us, the cost of our organic cacao that comes from several different countries has gone up 60% this year.
And the cost of our certified organic freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, which are grown on American farms, we were just told that all of that's going up 20 to 25%.
These are significant cost increases.
And there are many other examples like that.
Whereas, you know, the White House, of course, is saying, ah, inflation is only 2.7%.
Okay.
But in the food business, it's not 2.7.
It's like 25%.
Or maybe in the towel business, I don't know what it is.
But you and I, as producers and importers and manufacturers, we are dealing with massive increases.
And we have to make a lot of decisions about how much to absorb and how much to pass on, right?
Yep.
Yeah.
And that's the toughest part.
You know, even the ability to hire and to expand.
I mean, we're a small family-run company here in North Carolina.
And, you know, we touch, you know, just our company touches, you know, three dozen people.
You know, we impact that here in the U.S. So three dozen jobs.
You know, and that's in the ability to add more people, the ability to not reduce anybody.
Those are all the tough decisions that we're making right now.
And that's where we're counting on our Delilah Home family of customers and including retail partners to help us to kind of get through this because we know that there's going to be some better days ahead of us, but we just need to kind of weather this period and all the noise that's impacting our business, our health, and our mental capacity.
Are there other products that you're thinking of expanding into that are related to, I mean, you know, fiber-based products?
Yes.
So the next logical step would be into rugs.
Okay.
I have worked with a very strong rug company in the past.
I've known them for well over a decade.
It's one of those factories in India that you can actually eat off the floor.
And it's a fifth generation company.
And so we will be coming out with bath rugs as well as throws and blankets.
So we're going to be expanding our assortment hopefully in the fourth quarter.
We were all going full steam ahead until India got hit with a 50% tariff.
So we're kind of waiting that out to see what's going to happen.
So it's kind of one thing affects the other.
But we're looking to have that and be able to offer our services.
So if people have bath towels, would they want to throw a blanket?
I know we got a gajillion of them here in our house.
So again, we just, we want to try to have that clean living and anything that touches your body, we want to make sure that your consumers have a chance of purchasing something that is made responsibly.
You know, it's interesting that you're talking about India and the tariffs, and that winds its way into international geopolitics.
But I think the good news is, you know, I interview a lot of people like former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, I just interviewed, et cetera.
And it looks like Trump and Putin are getting along right now.
There's a possible peace deal in the works, which would alleviate the need for the threat of secondary tariffs on countries like India.
So, you know, it's interesting that if we could have peace with Russia, you could get rugs from India.
You know, like it's all related.
Yeah.
And there's so many things that are outside of outside of my control.
And this has been kind of the frustrating part of being a business owner in today's world, where last year I had to deal with Hamas attacking ships in the Red Sea.
So I couldn't organize.
I couldn't get my work from India to Portugal.
Oh, my God.
I hadn't thought about that yet because that goes right up into the Mediterranean to get to Portugal.
Yeah.
So it's like these things, these things.
And then when we started at the beginning of the year, everything was going great.
And then all of a sudden it just kind of dropped.
And then all these tariffs started start kicking in and whether they're going to tariffs are going to stick, whether or not, where they're going to be.
So, you know, we need to have some normalcy and say, you know what?
Yeah.
Let's know what it is and try to make it as low of a tariff as possible because tariffs are one aspect of this.
There's also duties.
Duties are on top of that, which kind of go under the radar.
But, you know, a 50% tariff also has a 10% duty on it.
So it's really 60%.
And what I think business owners like you and I need is simply predictability, right?
So stability so that we can project.
And one of the things that's happening internationally is there's a lot of business investment capital that is on hold until we know or they know how these things are going to shake out, you know, both in the Middle East and also with Russia, Ukraine, and the sea lanes.
Like you mentioned, the Red Sea, but also the Panama Canal and also the Strait of Malacca, you know, everywhere around the world, the sea lanes affect all of this.
So my advice to our listeners here is, folks, if you want to get some organic towels that are grown, you know, the cotton's grown non-GMO in Turkey and India, manufactured in Portugal, and are incredibly affordable considering the very high quality that they have, get them now while we know we've got them.
So healthrangerstore.com/slash bath will get you to this page and you can you can get almost all of these right now.
I don't think any of them are out of stock, are they?
Is everything out?
We're in good stock.
We paid the 15% tariff and we're in good stock.
Okay, great.
So you've got a supply in the U.S. That's awesome.
We'll help you get them into people's hands.
Is there anything else that we should know that is unique about your company or your product?
And probably the last thing, Mike, is the story of Delilah home.
This is kind of a made-for-for-hallmark type of story, but my family and I, we're up in the North Carolina mountains and we're getting ready to go for a hike.
And it was cold out.
I had Delilah's retractable leash.
Yes, our company is named after our dog.
I had her hard plastic retractable leash.
I didn't have a good grip on it.
She moved.
It fell out of my hands, hit the ground, spooked her, and she started running.
She started running.
She took off and the leash was kind of bouncing behind her and she was running faster and faster.
And of course, here I'm running after her and I'm thinking, okay, I got to get back into shape because I can't catch up with her.
Well, long story short, she was lost in the North Carolina mountains for 62 days.
Oh, my.
And the cool part about this story, and this is more about humanity, where we were walking in the trails, and all of a sudden, have you seen their dog?
People stopped what they're doing, followed us, and we're searching.
We had posted on Facebook that night, the very next day, we had over 2,400 shares in the Boone and Blown Rock, North Carolina mountains.
And we had thousands of people that were out looking for Delilah.
Oh, wow.
Thousands, I mean, thousands of people from the police chief to the mayor.
I mean, it was this phenomenal where it didn't matter who you were, where you came from.
People stopped to help out a stranger and help find a dog.
So through this process, we created a find Delilah website.
And it was almost like a full-time job trying to manage everybody's updates.
But people were saying, what's going on?
How can I help?
We had a doctor that printed 500 flyers and went out door to door to door to say, have you seen this dog?
And we put flyers up and everything.
So fast forward, you know, two weeks before she was captured, there's a happy ending to this.
One of the dozens of daily volunteers saw dog tracks in the snow, followed them and saw Delilah.
The community rallied around us as a family, created a GoFundMe page, raised $6,000, hired a trapper, and we're able to get video and still images of Delilah going in and out of this abandoned home.
It's like hunting Sasquatch.
It's like, have you seen Bigfoot?
Have you seen my dog, Delilah?
But then they were going every day and they were feeding the dog Bojangles.
They're making steak and eggs, you know, trying to feed Delilah.
She was going into this home.
She was eating the food, but then she was leaving.
So a guy in Asheville, Korea, this guillotine type of trapdoor.
And long story short, we think that she got clipped by a car because she had a broken leg.
And she went in, ate the food, was getting ready to leave, go back.
She went back in for more and ended up tripping the trapdoor.
And we have all this on video.
Oh, wow.
Which is really cool.
So, but the sub stories to this is what really makes the story even just more emotionally better because some people found God in this process.
A couple of ladies were going through divorce and want to have some to have hope in.
And friends were reunited all over this strange family's dog.
And so it's just got this really cool feeling of, okay, we all brought, we were able to bring, come together, bring Delilah home, and she's home safely.
I'm proud to say that she's grounded for life.
So we, a part of this process is, you know, our philosophy is, if you can't pay it back, how do we pay back all these people that have stopped what they're doing to help out?
And again, thousands of people, we decide that we're going to pay it forward.
And that's where 10% of our profit kind of comes back in.
So it's a feel-good story of like, you know what?
Hey, we're friends with our neighbors.
We're going to help out no matter what.
But that's what being in a community and being in a strong village is really all about.
That's a very heartwarming story that shows also, I think, the culture of North Carolina and of many states in the U.S. where people are very willing to help each other.
But I'm so glad that you formed those bonds with your community and that you're able to help repay that through the generosity of your company.
And again, we share exactly that kind of alignment with you.
And I feel like when we are blessed with financial abundance, we have a duty.
We have a duty to help those who are less fortunate or who are struck by floods or disasters or fires or what have you.
We have a duty to help other human beings.
And I think also importantly, one of the ways that we can help humanity is to stop supporting toxic poisons in the supply chains.
You know, so that brings us back to why organic matters.
So, Michael, that's an amazing story.
Is there anything else you want to add before we wrap this up?
No, I just, I appreciate the time that you're giving me.
And it's, you know, I guess, you know, kind of closing remarks is that, you know, you kind of get what you pay for.
You know, and there's a lot of options out there.
But, you know, if you invest and you buy quality, it's going to last.
And that's why the products that Delilah Home builds are of the highest level, highest quality, built in the best factories with the best materials that aren't going to break your bank when you go to purchase them.
But if you treat them right and you wash them correctly, don't use the toxic detergent, they're going to last years.
And you're going to go back and say, okay, yeah, these are the type of linens that I grew up on.
Well, and I should mention, I mean, I'll just bring it up here.
At our store, we have our own detergent formulation that we formulated to be environmentally conscious.
And if you look at the ingredients, they're all highly rated ingredients here by the Environmental Working Group.
So, I mean, seriously, go look all these up at EWG.
And you notice we don't have any toxic dyes.
We don't have any toxic fragrance.
There's actually, there's no fragrance.
There's no synthetic nonsense.
A lot of it's actually chemically related to baking soda here.
So you could just wash it in baking soda and water.
And that would be great, actually.
So, Michael, thank you for the backstory.
Thank you for making this available.
Thank you for working with us so that we can help spread the goodness about your products to our customers as well.
It's great to meet you.
Nice to meet you too, Michael, and thank you for the opportunity.
All right.
And say hi to Delilah here.
And what an amazing story.
62 days in the wilderness, huh?
62 days.
And, you know, the beauty of we have everything on video.
So I can share that with your audience.
But when Delilah came home, my wife was interviewed by three TV stations.
And in fact, I was at Expo West in LA, and my friends from TalkMech from West Texas said, hey, I saw your story on your dog in Lubbock.
That's hilarious.
Wow.
Wow.
Well, I'm glad that that had a very happy ending there.
And again, thanks for making yourself available today and keep in touch.
We'd love to know what else you have that you're working on that we can share with our audience.
Awesome.
Well, thank you, Michael.
And thank you for all the Health Ranger customers.
We appreciate you and we thank you for your support.
Thank you, Michael.
Great to meet you today.
And again, to our audience, if you want to support Delilah, the company, Delilah Home, I guess is the official name, and buy organic that we support and endorse at healthrangerstore.com.
Just go to that web address, healthrangerstore.com slash bath, B-A-T-H, and that will get you right to this page, which shows you everything that the Delilah company has available right now.
So thank you all for watching today.
This has been a really interesting conversation, and we appreciate you.
We appreciate your support, and we appreciate you voting with your dollars to help make the world a less toxic place, a more clean place, a more enjoyable place for us and for our animals alike.
So thanks for watching today.
I'm Mike Adams of Brighteon.com.

All right, welcome back.
I know you enjoyed that video about the towels.
I'm very careful about who we partner with.
And in the past, I have made a few mistakes.
But this company, Delilah Home, their product checks out, their certification is checkout.
It's not a food product.
So of course, we don't test it for glyphosate, but it's certified organic, which means they're not even allowed to use synthetic herbicides or pesticides on it.
But it's not like you're eating your towels.
I hope.
That would be bad.
There might be some Americans that do get that hungry.
Like, food's too expensive.
They printed so much currency that we can't even afford craft macaroni and cheese.
That would be sad.
What do we have left to eat?
Shoe leather and towels.
And if we run out of that, we can chew on tree bark in the backyard.
And it turns out tree bark contains a lot of natural medicine, certain tree barks, and then they chew on the tree bark and like, you're cured.
What's going on?
Okay, I'm getting carried away.
Hopefully famine doesn't get that bad.
All right.
Now, as promised, I did interview Ron Paul.
And of course, he's a legend.
He probably needs no introduction to this audience.
And before I get to the interview, I just want to say how much Ron Paul has influenced me.
Spanning many decades, I became more and more educated about honest money, about precious metals, gold and silver, etc.
I did buy my first gold and silver coins in the, I think it was the early 1990s.
But I got to admit, the guy who sold them to me, I thought he was a little bonkers.
And it turns out he wasn't bonkers.
He was absolutely right.
He was just a little bit early about where things were headed, which is ultimately the debt collapse of the empire.
That's still coming.
It's been amazing they could delay it this long.
But anyway, so I've learned about honest money and I've explored different formats of it like goldbacks, which everybody loves goldbacks.
They're great gifts.
I've stacked gold and silver.
We partnered with a gold and silver company, which is Battalion Metals.
You can reach them if you want at metalswithmike.com.
And we have advocated for saving your assets in this form that is just immune to the collapse of currencies.
It's been proven that way again and again.
You know, we talked about grapes being mentioned in the Bible.
Well, gold is mentioned in the Bible like 400 plus times, it turns out.
So, you know, grapes and gold, God, grapes and gold, GGG, you know, it's all mentioned in the Bible numerous times as forms of actual wealth.
Grapes because of the natural medicine, gold because it's a store of value.
It's actual money.
Unlike dollars, which are not money, they're currency.
They don't count as money because they're not a store of value.
They don't hold value.
Dollars are collapsing rapidly.
Gold is skyrocketing.
And you probably just heard that Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
And Powell is like, well, if I don't lower interest rates, Trump's probably going to have me destroyed, which is true.
Look what Trump did to that other Federal Reserve board member.
Like, you're out of here.
Get out of town.
And she's all like, no, you're doing that because I'm black.
And he's like, no, I'm doing it because you're stupid.
Trump will destroy you if you don't lower interest rates.
Well, if the Fed starts lowering interest rates, what's that going to do for gold and silver?
It's going to skyrocket.
And probably stocks will go up too.
I'm just guessing.
Don't take this as financial advice because I don't even own any stocks.
Really, I don't follow the stock market.
I follow gold and silver because that's real money.
Although I did notice that NVIDIA took a little crash, like a 5% plunge for some reason, even though they had really great earnings.
If I were to buy into any company, it would probably be NVIDIA because I buy so much of their stuff.
It's like, man, I mean, but whatever.
Again, this is not financial advice.
I'm not buying NVIDIA, but I do own gold and silver.
And I think gold and silver are going to skyrocket when interest rates start dropping.
Because people are going to realize, oh my goodness, you know, this is going to cause inflation.
Cheaper money, you know, more leveraged lending, etc.
This is going to cause a flood of stimulus money effectively through the banking system into the economy.
Prices are going to skyrocket.
Gold and silver are going to be the store of value, you know.
And I learned most of this from either Ron Paul directly or people influenced by Ron Paul.
So Ron Paul has been, even though I don't probably give him enough credit, but he's been a very strong influence in my thinking about Austrian economics and honest money.
And also courage, the courage to stick to your principles, even when everybody around you is losing their minds.
The courage to say no.
No, I won't vote for your tax increase.
No, I won't vote for your Patriot Act.
No, I don't support police in the cities and the streets of America.
I don't want to live in a police state.
The courage to say no.
And Ron Paul was known as Dr. No.
That was his nickname some of the years when he served in Congress.
He served on and off for a long time as a Texas Congress, well, United States Congressman representing Texas.
Okay.
So Ron Paul's a legend and he just turned 90.
So I also want you to keep that in mind when you watch the interview.
Ron Paul is 90 years old.
He's still very sharp.
He's, you know, he's still Ron Paul, but he's not the spring chicken, Ron Paul.
Like any of us would probably be at age 90, you know, we're not the same as we were when we're 35.
So just keep that in mind.
You know, he might be a little slower to explain things, but he's still as sharp as ever and he's still as right as ever.
So just keep that in mind.
I mean, if I'm even alive at 90, I'd be like, wow, that's an accomplishment, you know?
So much less actually speaking and making sense.
I mean, there's all kinds of people in the world today that don't even make sense at 30 or 40 or 50.
They never make sense.
Ron Paul's still rocking it at 90.
I mean, think about it.
Doesn't that mean he was born in 1935?
I mean, he was growing up as a kid before World War II started.
I mean, before it came to America, I should say.
It had started elsewhere, but and then he lived through World War II as a kid.
I mean, my God, the life experience of Ron Paul must just has to be amazing.
I'm in awe at his journey, you know, a life to celebrate.
And the level of influence that he's had on the world is, it's immeasurable.
So anyway, I was really honored to be able to interview Ron Paul, and I was honored to be invited to his birthday party.
And I'm also, I'm very glad that Ron Paul is a pro-peace human being.
He believes that we should bring our troops home.
We should end all the funding of foreign wars and foreign nations and foreign aid.
And I agree with that.
We should bring our troops home and we should focus on the issues here domestically because we got a few of those, it seems like.
Got a few.
Maybe we could build some infrastructure instead of having a sketchy power grid.
So with that said, enjoy this interview with Ron Paul.
Welcome to today's interview on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
And today we're joined by an extraordinary guest who needs no introduction.
Welcome to the show, Dr. Ron Paul.
It's an honor to have you on today, sir.
Hi.
Great being with you.
It's really great to be with you.
And this is the first time that we've ever spoken, but I was at your birthday event.
And you may not know this, but I contributed to your 1997 congressional campaign, even though I wasn't a Texan at the time.
So you had national appeal, you know, even in the 90s.
I hope the message is worthy the national appeal.
Absolutely is.
One of the things I want to ask you about and mention is I think as each year passes by here and we look at more and more debt under every president, regardless of which party, I think America increasingly realizes that Ron Paul was right and that if we had heeded your warnings earlier, we might not be in this fiscal mess that we're in.
What do you make of the fact that we're now at over 120% debt to GDP ratio with endless fiat currency printing?
Well, it's very, very dangerous.
And we've already seen what can happen and the danger is getting worse every day.
To me, there's a lot of problems with inflation and destruction of a currency.
But in the early stages, especially at the end, what happens is there's a redistribution of wealth.
So as the government destroys the money and the value of the dollar, the rich are able to get hold of those dollars first, and they become wealthier, and they're also able to participate in the way this money is spent.
But what happens then is the people that are poorer or middle class, you know, are hurt.
But people are waking up to that and realizing this is so unfair, but they don't understand the economics of it all.
So therefore, they frequently just go back to the source of the problem because I had people come to me and say, these prices are too high.
Precisely husband.
I said, what do you think we should do?
Send us more money.
Of course.
So I've been very interested in trying to educate and to promote our causes.
Well, I think you're doing an outstanding job, obviously.
I mean, you're an American hero in my mind.
I want to mention you've got a show called the Ron Paul Liberty Report.
It's on Rumble Monday through Friday.
Here's the channel, the Ron Paul Liberty Report, very easy to find on Rumble.
And then also your main website, ronpaulinstitute.org, which we are also going to begin indexing on our censored.news website to bring you those headlines every day as well.
Now, Dr. Paul, the Trump administration with Lutnik is doing something very unusual.
They have negotiated to receive a 15% royalty on NVIDIA microchip sales to China.
So in other words, when NVIDIA sells chips to China, the White House gets 15%.
And Lutnik is going to universities and saying, you should give us royalties on the patents because they're paid by, you know, the research is paid by taxpayers.
And then finally, Lutnik is saying the defense industry, we should go to the defense companies like Lockheed Martin, and we should buy a stake in those companies.
And the government just bought a stake in Intel, 10% stake.
What red flags does this raise in your mind?
This is bad, bad news, and it's a bad trend.
And we've been involved in manipulating our relationship with corporations.
And I think one of the things that we should fear the most is corporatism, where there is this mixture of free markets, and special interests are protected more than the others.
And it's also the reason why the special interest groups and money plays a big role in it.
And of course, the big one, military-industrial complex, and also the pharmaceuticals and Yukonoco, on and on.
So that is, to me, very dangerous.
This buying into the stock, so to speak, is, and they admit, we've had a lot of mixing up of corporations and favoritism and bailout, but this was a little more blunt, you know, that they are actually owning these stocks and they're advertising it.
Well, we could do this.
We could raise so much money, you know, just buying and selling, you know, having fees, and we'll have enough money that we won't have to raise taxes at all.
You know, I think that's far-fetched, and I think it has so much deception.
And so every time you have a solution like that, the one thing they don't talk about is kind of expanding in a serious manner.
Yeah, there's a word for when government owns the means of production.
There's a word for that.
And I think our audience, I mean, there's so many warning signs in this.
What happens when the government owns a majority of Intel and then dictates to Intel who they're allowed to sell microchips to, which actually they're already doing, or even what should be their chip design preferences?
Maybe the government says we want you to build AI robot chips for war soldiers or something.
You see what I mean?
Yeah, and I think that that's going on.
It isn't quite what we see in total fascism or Nazism or communism, where it's so overwhelming.
And then they use military force to keep it in order.
But I think that's being expanded in our own government.
You know, well, you know, it's up to the government to bring about peaceful means, so we'll send in the army.
So we start bending the rules.
And so Mises was emphatic about what we had, and that's been 30, 40 years ago.
He said that we don't have socialism, we have interventionism and called corporatism.
But he also predicted that it usually, you know, from history and understanding, will lead to fascism, not maybe the Soviet type of communism, but a type of fascism, because it's easier to sell to the American people, oh, we're just the business people, you know, helping out here and doing this.
And then all the motivations are really mixed up in there.
But it's still power.
Just think of the military-industrial complex.
They're doing pretty well.
And we're still short, short money.
If right now we're begging and pleading that all the European nations get together because they want us to fight and do things in Ukraine.
But we're hardcore now.
We say, well, we're not going to do all that.
You guys raise the money and we'll help.
We'll try to push it.
But what we'll do is insist you spend all that money in the United States.
That's right.
It's terrible.
Well, one of the things I've always admired about you, Dr. Paul, is your pro-peace stance and your courage to stand for your principles, even under great public pressure.
And in fact, right now, I love the fact that Tulsi Gabbard spoke at your event also, because I believe that she also wants to help extricate us out of these wars.
And Trump promised to end the Ukraine-Russia war in 24 hours.
It's now been, you know, how many months has it been?
And it's all still going.
And we've got a devastating war in the Middle East.
And my question to you, sir, is that what do you make of there's an effort in America right now among some MAGA people to try to say that the peace conservatives or the peace libertarians are trying to destroy MAGA, that MAGA stands for war and peace is a destructive principle.
What do you make of that?
Well, it's very frustrating because if you talk to a lot of people, people want peace and prosperity, and it's available to us.
But the people who really are capable of mobilizing sentiments and attitudes are in the driver's seat for more big government.
And that's where the problem is.
But the people basically, when we talk about what we believe in, it's endorsed.
But, you know, it was, and I think that helped Trump in winning the election because he was talking some of our language.
But I think that I think they realize that it's a lot of talk.
People are waking up to this.
It's sort of like how people finally woke up to COVID.
And that was great.
But when it comes to really cutting, I thought one of the best things they did at the beginning of this administration was to bring up the subject of USAID.
Yes.
That was great.
That's great news.
I agree.
And yet at the same time, when the process began, nobody's even talking about it.
Nobody wants to cut anything.
So it's dependency and the pain.
It's like somebody has cancer, and if they don't have a major operation, they're going to die.
But then I say, oh, I don't want to go through the operation.
And our country is not ready to go through the operation.
So I don't think we're going to get enough people in Congress to all of a sudden move in that direction.
I think there will be a major event where we'll be forced to make a decision.
Well, in fact, thank you for describing that.
And I have a follow-up question, which is about AI automation of government agencies.
So one of the things that we're seeing now in certain agencies like HHS, but also the IRS, is letting go of the human workers, replacing them with AI, and calling that cutting government.
But it's really not cutting.
It's automating the same functions.
In fact, making the tyranny more efficient, you might argue.
What's your take on that?
Well, I think your point is right, except some of that, to some degree, has happened all along.
You know, it's back in the Industrial Revolution.
You have machinery go in it.
Some people, you know, are laid off.
But I think that the effort to do this is, you know, it's a mixed blessing.
What I fear is there will be some successes and solidify the people who disagree with us.
Take, for instance, law and order.
You know, the streets are burning because of the prediction of what collectivism brings and corporatism brings and inflation brings.
So the cities are a mess.
And then you have this crazy stuff from the far left and the whole thing has fallen apart.
And I think that's where the real problem is, is the chaos is there.
And of course, the Marxists like this.
And if there's a success, let's say Trump is unusually and magnificently successful.
And there's a hint that that's what's happening.
Washington is going to be a perfect city.
Well, let's say they do real well.
That won't help people dissect this out.
They'll say, well, don't worry about it.
It's a federal city and all this.
What they're going to do is use that because they're already talking about putting troops in Chicago and in Baltimore.
And if they go every place where they've caused poverty with stupid ideas and irrational monetary policy, there's a lot of work to be done.
And that's why it's so important.
I think the mischief here, the big issue is the fact that we have a monetary system that is used to do exactly that.
And people become dependent on it.
It's real hard to break the habit.
You have been proven correct again and again throughout recent history about that because the source of so much corruption and fraud and chaos and also just the loss of purchasing power, the impoverishment of the American people, it all traces back to fiat currency printing.
And I started buying gold in the early 1990s largely because of you, Dr. Paul, and I've been stacking precious metals ever since and very happy that I've done so.
I've got a question for you about Trump's executive order saying that he wants to throw people in prison for a year for burning the American flag.
Now, you and I both love America and I fly the Texas flag here in the studio.
I would never burn a flag, but I really honor the First Amendment.
What's your take on this?
Well, the first thing is, is the burning of a flag is an expression.
People don't do that other than calling attention, annoy people, antagonize people, and they should be just totally ignored unless they've damaged property or caused a riot or something.
But then it shouldn't be a federal law.
That's not written in the Constitution that we have policemen running all over the place finding out what they're demonstrating on or whether they're burning a flag.
So that is wrong.
If the burning of the flag is related to a riot and organized in such a way, that's a local matter.
That's like if somebody breaks into a store and steals, that should be the policeman command.
And look at what's happened here this last decade.
They run into stores and the police help them.
Hopefully that will change.
But back to my concern is if they do a really great job in Washington, and Washington looks a lot better for various reasons, that'll be the excuse.
We need them in every city.
Every city has crimes.
And people will say, you know, that's true.
We would like to have peace again.
One thing is, though, I think the predictions right now of how much can and has been done in Washington already probably won't come to fruition because of the human nature of things.
Well, and also, you know, Beijing is a clean-looking city, but perhaps not for reasons that we would support if we are pro-liberty.
You know, it's a very strict police infrastructure there, and many of China's cities are the same way.
They look really clean on the surface, but then there's this underbelly of what you don't see or the techniques that are used to achieve a so-called clean city.
And I don't want U.S. troops running every U.S. city because my concern, Dr. Paul, is even if Donald Trump acts in good faith, he's not going to be there forever.
Whoever comes next can take that same infrastructure and turn it against the American people, which always seems to happen.
What do you think?
Well, I think what they're doing is totally ignoring the Constitution because they're overstepping, and they have in a long time overstepped the bound of the intrusion of the federal government in doing this.
And besides, I see it as an attack on the First Amendment specifically.
This whole idea that we get colleges, schools, everybody, medical systems, all dependent on the government.
And then if they don't do our bidding, or like the universities, if they have a speaker they don't like, if the government doesn't like that, I say, okay, we're going to take away your subsidy.
Well, you know, in a way, it should have never happened.
They should have never had the subsidy.
They have more and more of this that they use it as a weapon.
And the administration uses the tariffs.
Okay, you do this, and we're going to put a tariff on you.
We're going to make China pay.
But then if people think about it, Chinese customers don't pay it.
The American government pays it, which goes in.
The American people eventually suffer the most for putting tariffs on.
I think it's so crazy that they think that we'll put a tariff on Trump to balance our budget.
Yeah, that is absurd given the relative small revenues from tariffs.
But that's the last question I wanted to ask you today anyway, was about these tariffs.
And of course, the 50% tariff on India just kicked in.
Meanwhile, and India is supposed to be a U.S. ally.
Meanwhile, China has a much lower tariff now than India, and Trump keeps delaying the additional tariffs on China.
But what does it say to you when one man in America, one person, the president, decides that he alone gets to determine tariffs and set them and use them basically as sanction weapons, even against our allies around the world, potentially destroying many decades of positive relationships with countries like India?
What do you make of that?
I don't think the founders intended the president to have so much power.
And the other big one, I'm sure you could agree with me, how many wars have we fought since World War II started by our foreign policy directed by our presidents?
And that's a big one.
Yes.
Absolutely.
And that continues.
No, he has way too much power.
And wielding this power, now the founders did, you know, they did tolerate some tariffs, but I don't think they ever meant it to be a weapon for the president to use it and then to expand it to sanctions and tariffs and manipulations and all kinds of punishment.
No, it's way too much power.
And on the surface, there's always somebody going to cheer it because somebody thinks they're going to benefit from it.
It's the same way with the inflation.
People tolerated the inflation, even though they knew, well, this is a little bit of a mischief thing, just printing up money.
But on the short run, it seems to be okay.
On the long run, it's like an addiction.
Getting a person off of drugs is a tough job.
And they always demand to come back for more, more, more.
What about Zelensky?
He'd be a good example of that.
All he wants is a billion dollars a month, you know, to keep the war going on.
How ridiculous.
And who's morally responsible for that war?
Well, the people who run NATO and who puts the most money in NATO?
You know, the United States.
People don't see that where no matter what part of the world we're in, if there's fighting going on and people are getting killed, if we're sending weapons there for profits, they should assume responsibility for the so many millions of lives that are lost because of these wars.
Absolutely.
Well, in wrapping up this interview, and I greatly appreciate your time today, Dr. Paul, is there anything else you'd like to mention to our audience?
We're one of the leaders in independent media, and we have a very critical audience, and they're not tribalists.
They're not automatically following one party or another.
They're critical thinkers.
I think most of them are fans of you.
So what would you like to say to them?
Well, I think we got here because of bad ideas and intolerance and the government management of our universities.
And they inundated us with people who have a different understanding than what the founders had.
And so many people now are reviewing and finding that there is a different strategy.
I think there's a big contest going on between the people that are in opposition to us and they are the nihilists.
They say, why are you guys waste so much time about honest money?
We don't even believe there is such a thing as honesty.
So there's the nihilists there.
Then there's the idealists that think that there's something called personal liberty and natural laws and it should be universal.
So I think it's moral and I think it's universal.
I think it's educational and politicians reflect those attitudes.
They're very important, but that's not where the answers are.
The answers are eventually spreading a message.
That's why what you're doing on a radio or TV program is changing people's mind.
And just stop and think for a minute.
Isn't it better to live in a society that's free and realize that with freedom, there's a lot more prosperity and peace?
And why do they give this up?
Because they've been hoodwinked into thinking that they're going to get peace and prosperity by listening to the dictators.
Well said.
And thank you, Dr. Paul.
God bless you.
And thank you for all the gifts that you've given this republic.
And it's been an honor to speak with you today.
Thank you.
Good to be with you.
Good to be with you too.
And that was Ron Paul, everybody.
And of course, check out his Ron Paul Liberty report on Rumble.
And then his website also, or his institute, is ronpaulinstitute.org.
And I encourage you to check out both of those.
And, you know, what else can you say?
Ron Paul speaks the truth today, just as he has consistently decade after decade as he served many terms in the United States Congress.
I'm sure to the frustration of the neocons and all of the traders that perhaps surrounded him from time to time in Washington, D.C. But Ron Paul held true to his convictions.
And so he serves as a great example for all of us.
Remember that our real strength as a nation comes from our moral consistency and our understanding of what I would call, well, he mentioned natural law and the morality of honest money versus the immorality of fake fiat currency, which is unfortunately what our current system operates on.
But there's much more to be learned from Ron Paul, so tune into his show and his channel.
