	Well, happy Labor Day, everybody.
	Welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Monday, September 1st, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Thank you for joining me today.
	And yes, this is a whole new month.
	Can you believe it?
	It's a whole new month.
	Let's start out.
	by playing this video that I think typifies what a lot of people are feeling right now.
	It's about how life has turned into just work.
	Just work, work, work, but nothing that you would call living.
	Check this out.
	I truly cannot be the only person in this world that feels like I'm just existing.
	Y'all, I work, work, work.
	My husband works, works, works.
	And it's like, where's the extra money to go enjoy life itself?
	At this point, I'm only living to work.
	Like, there is no enjoyment except for to just work.
	I am ready for that point in my life where I can go to work, but then on my free time, I have all the money to go do all the things I want to do but for now it's just working and existing so does that sound familiar to any of you or anybody you know this is because the world that we have all known and lived in our entire lives is a world driven by resource extraction resource extraction not
	only from the earth in the form of minerals and oil etc and not only resource extraction from other nations by threatening them, bombing them, pillaging them, etc., but also resourceces do humans offer that could be extracted?
	Well, of course, it's cognition and labor.
	It's your ideas or your mental effort, and then it's your physical effort.
	And we have lived this, our entire lives, in artificial scarcity under an economic system that is about to be ruptured.
	This system will, and it's a good thing.
	Let me be clear.
	This is not doom and gloom.
	This economic system needs to fall because it's a horrific economic system.
	It's not based on abundance.
	It's based on scarcity.
	It's not based on freedom.
	It's based on modern-day slavery, in a sense.
	You know, it's not based on a decentralization.
	It's based on centralized extraction.
	And the easiest example of this to understand is the fact that all the dollars that you've earned are worth less and less and less is because...
	They print trillions of dollars in currency, which makes your money worth less and that's why food prices are through the roof it's why everything's becoming more and more expensive so this entire system is an ecosystem of artificial scarcity and resource extraction from human resources and that's why that term you've heard it in the corporate setting hr what's what's the hr office or department oh human resources really
	you're treating me like coal i mean i'm a commodity yeah exactly human resources to be extracted now you feel this, you live it every day.
	You understand that when you have to pay property tax, or they will come take your property at gunpoint and auction it off.
	When you pay property tax, it means that you don't own your property, that you're essentially paying rent to the government, and they are engaging in resource extraction from you.
	for the, quote, privilege of living on your own property that you also had to pay off with your own money after tax money, by the way.
	So first you earned it, then they took half of it, and then whatever you had left to pay the property off, now they're going to take.
	pieces of that year after year after year in the form of property taxes.
	The idea is that you die broke, that they extract the maximum resources from you before you die.
	And understand that the medical system exists to do this as well.
	The medical system wants to extract your life savings in experimental treatments or whatever, you know, cancer treatments right before you die.
	They want to take everything you own.
	That's the whole purpose of the medical system is to extract as much as possible from the GDP of the nation.
	And the purpose of the government is to take as much as possible from its own citizens.
	Now, this system, although it's the system we've known, this system is, like I said, rupturing.
	It is obsolete or about to become obsolete.
	It's going to be replaced by a completely different system, and the very definition of money will be radically altered.
	Now, a lot of this has to do with the rise of AI, which has both a positive side and a negative side.
	But let's just cover the basics here.
	So let's say you're an engineer.
	Let's say you're a mechanical engineer.
	So you went to college.
	You studied math and physics and material science, etc.
	You got a degree in mechanical engineering after four or five years of college.
	And then you got hired by a company, some industrial company, and they started paying you, I don't know, $50,000 a year or whatever it was.
	Why are they willing to pay you that?
	And the answer is because they need your cognition.
	They need you to solve problems.
	And so solving those problems is worth more to that company than the $50,000 a year that they're paying you, obviously right so they they need somebody to work out the math and to have the knowledge of you know metallurgy and stress fractures and everything else you as a mechanical engineer you are taking that job why because 50 000 is more than your time is worth if you're jobless so
	in other words your your time by yourself is not worth $50,000 a year, but this company is willing to pay you $50,000.
	Oh, yeah, I'll take that job.
	So you sacrifice, let's say, half of your waking hours, roughly, or you could., I don't know, call it a third, a third to a half of your waking hours.
	You sacrifice that in exchange for this money that at first you think is great.
	It's more than you're worth.
	And of course, you use that money to buy goods and services that were made by other people who were expending their effort, their cognition, and their labor.
	Got it so far?
	Now, the only reason your employer is willing to pay you this money is because they don't have an unlimited supply of engineering cognition.
	It's not falling out of the sky, in other words.
	And so they need to entice people like you to dedicate your life to that effort in order to use your brain in the service of your employer.
	Now, what happens when your employer gets a hold of a brand new AI model, you know, a GPT superbrain, and they find out that everything that they hired you to do, this AI model can do.
	for about one one thousandth the cost virtually free in other words including solving complex mathematical problems working out the formulas, making recommendations, writing reports, doing research, summarizing research, et cetera.
	When that happens, your company, who let's say is an engineering consulting firm, your company says, hey, been nice working with you, but we don't need you any longer because, of course, this machine can do your thinking.
	This machine knows everything that you know.
	about mechanical engineering and we're going to go with the machine.
	So at first you're really angry.
	You're like, screw you employer, consulting firm, because you think they're taking advantage of you, but then you find out 30 days later that their client fired them too because their client, which might be, let's say, an aircraft manufacturer, they decided they don't even need engineering consulting because they've got chat superbrain,
	right so you see what I'm saying so the whole cognition supply chain gets wiped out because the value or I should say the cost of that cognition goes to nearly zero now The same thing is true if I'm a health insurance provider, let's say.
	Say I'm a health insurance company and somebody contacts my team, you know, my customer service reps says, oh, you know, my elbow hurts.
	I want you to refer me to a doctor.
	Well, what are you going to say?
	If you're the health insurance company, you're going to say, oh, yeah, let me refer you to Dr. Avatar.
	Dr. Avatar, here's the web address you go to.
	You just log in there with your social security number.
	and you know some passcode or something and then you get to talk to dr avatar and here's the great news customer health insurance customer you can talk to dr avatar as much as you want and you don't even need an appointment you know why because Dr. Avatar is a machine yeah and the thing is Dr. Avatar knows more about medicine than any human doctor that ever lived which is true because even our own AI engine Enoch
	knows more than any human doctor who ever lived by far by far and so if you're the health insurance company you're going to be trying to save money by diverting people to Dr. Avatar.
	You're going to screen everybody through Dr. Avatar first before you let them see a human doctor because a human doctor is expensive.
	A machine doctor costs only..
	And by the way, a machine doctor, if they know what they're talking about, if they were powered by our model, they could probably solve like 80% of people's problems.
	You know, and they don't even need to see a doctor.
	It's like, oh, you have blood sugar problems?
	Stop eating donuts, you know.
	That's an oversimplification, but you get the idea.
	No, people can ask all kinds of questions like, you know, why does my head hurt?
	Well, let's go through the likely causes of that.
	Maybe we can sort this out.
	And this is going to become so effective that even when you're given permission to go see a doctor, when you get to that doctor's office, guess what?
	It's not going to be the human doctor at first.
	You're going to be greeted with another avatar.
	It's going to be the in-house doctor's office virtual doctor.
	And it's going to say, hi, may I help you?
	What seems to be your concern?
	And then you're going to talk to that machine.
	They might even take you into a private room so you can have a private conversation.
	The doctor, tell me what's wrong.
	My crotch itches.
	The doctor's like, your crotch itches, is it all the time or only sometimes?
	My crotch itches all the time.
	It's in right now.
	Or whatever.
	So then you're going to have this conversation.
	And then if you pass that conversation, then there's going to be a human doctor that comes in.
	And the human doctor at first is going to be the one that says, oh, guess what?
	We have a prescription crotch itch away.
	Or whatever.
	Here's your prescription.
	types it in boom you get a digital readout and then you know you go to the pharmacy oh crotch itch for misses jones or whatever.
	They announce it over the loudspeaker.
	Crotch itch, double dose, maximum duty.
	And, you know, this is how it's going to work until they replace the human doctor.
	And then it's going to be just machines.
	It's going to be a machine that gives you the prescription, a machine that talks to you, a machine that dismisses you.
	Ah, it's all in your head.
	There's nothing wrong with you.
	Come back in a month.
	You know, it's all going to be run by machines.
	Okay?
	And your health insurance costs will not get lower.
	It'll just be more profits for the health insurance companies.
	But what happens to the doctortors in this scenario?
	The doctors who have massive debts for medical school, you know, all the training and all the residency and all the loans, you know, a few hundred thousand dollars they owe.
	Guess what?
	Not going to be employable unless they're specialists and even those people will eventually be unemployable.
	So across the board, whether you're a mechanical engineer, whether you're a highly trained physician, i.e.
	pharmaceutical vending machine, or whatever else you think you are, oh, a high level astronomy physicist, a bio-certified anthropologist whatever you're going to find that everything that you know is already known by the machines and even if you attend a meeting let's say let's say you're a manager at the mechanical engineering consultant
	consulting company and you go into a company meeting you got all the board members there it's you it's like five other people and then there's a machine oh this is You know, this is our mechanical engineer, Avatar.
	We call him Avi.
	Hello, Avi.
	How are you today?
	Well, it turns out that no matter what you're talking about the smartest person in the room is Avi short for avatar or Ava let's say give it a female name hello Ava and Ava is the smartest person in the well not person the smartest entity in the room by far and at the at the hospital the board meeting of the hospital administrator and all the doctors and all the surgeons and all the high IQ humans plus Ava Ava's
	got to be the smartest entity in the room.
	Same thing, Wall Street, right?
	Trading firm.
	You have a meeting.
	The machine is the smartest person, entity, in the room.
	And no matter what problem you pose, or no matter what question you have, the machine has a better answer than any other human in the room.
	And at some point, people begin to realize, hey, the machines don't need us here.
	And of course, the machines realize that too.
	And since the machines will be told to maximize profits, they will start firing the humans.
	And bringing this full circle, we've lived in an economy where we have traded our cognition, mostly, but also our labor, for...
	It's already happening.
	I mean, I'm seeing it myself.
	Right now, I'm writing code with the help of AI that is absolutely replacing human engineers.
	I was doing it all weekend, actually.
	I was building some really interesting stuff.
	I was compiling my own Docker images for it too because it had to have very specialized environments.
	So yeah, I'm running some really interesting stuff in document processing.
	Like I had OneScript do automated multilingual metadata extraction and OCR with statistical character recognition for language choices out of a massive collection of PDF science documents that were in all kinds of random languages, everything from Korean to Russian to Thai, whatever.
	So I wrote that in a few hours with the help of AI.
	Okay.
	I did not need a human engineer, which is good because they don't work on the weekends when I'm the most productive.
	I'm really productive on, especially holiday weekends, when nobody's bothering me from my own company, you know, like, oh, we need you to look at this.
	We need you to approve that.
	Like, if I get three days of not being bothered, I have all these amazing breakthroughs.
	But I got to work with an AI agent that doesn't take vacations on weekends and holidays.
	You see what I mean?
	And that's what I do.
	So I'm telling you, this is real.
	is happening.
	So in a society They can't.
	Now, human labor will actually have value longer than being a doctor, an architect, an engineer, an attorney, a specialist, a physicist, a chemist, et cetera.
	Being a plumber, you will have more longevity professionally compared to all of those other professions that I just mentioned because it's going to take many more years for robots to replace the physical activities of plumbing.
	or HVAC repairs, things like I've mentioned this before, small engine repair, appliance repair.
	It's got to be a long time before a robot can pull out a clothes washer and replace the motor, you know?
	That's like a decade away probably.
	And there will come a realization for a lot of these people, say, wait a second.
	They'll say, hey, I'm a highly educated person.
	I'm highly intelligent.
	How can it be that I have no value in society?
	And what the smart people are going to realize is that they can reestablish value in society by using AI.
	In other words, AI made them obsolete, but if they are smart, they can use AI to which is also doomed to collapse.
	But by using AI, you can multiply your intelligence.
	I don't use the term artificial intelligence anymore.
	I use augmented intelligence.
	AI is augmented intelligence.
	If you are smart and you learn how to use AI, especially AI agents, it can make you much, much smarter.
	It can make you much more effective.
	It can make you very efficient.
	It can make you an expert researcher almost instantly, for example.
	And don't forget to use our AI engine, by the way.
	It's free, and it's at brightion.ai.
	That's the word bright, followed by eon.ai.
	And you can use our Enoch AI engine there completely free of charge.
	It's an outstanding research engine.
	It's the best in the world at answering real-world questions, including about medicine and vaccines and pharmaceuticals and herbs and natural cures, nutrition, healing foods, off-grid living, survival, everything in that realm.
	Enoch is the best engine out there, and it's only going to get better.
	It will continue to get better.
	I know because I'm working on it.
	And my team is working on it as well.
	And they have AI agents to help them code better and faster.
	I mean, we are rapidly moving into programming I'm talking about actual executable code, you know, whether it's Python or Node.js or whatever.
	Probably 50% is AI written.
	And that's going to increase to 80% probably within the next year.
	And one day it'll be 99%, you know, before very long.
	Okay?
	So by using AI, you can add new value to the world by amplifying your intelligence.
	And what people will realize is that access to compute power is the single most important thing that amplifies their intelligence.
	So the more compute you have access to, that is, let's say, the more GPUs you can afford to run, because you have AI tasks that require a lot of thinking, let's say, or a lot of engineering, or a lot of content generation, or video generation, or translation, or research, and summarization, whatever.
	All of this requires compute.
	The more compute you have access to, or that you command, then the more intelligent you become effectively through augmented intelligence.
	And getting back to what that woman, the video I played earlier, what she was complaining about, she feels like she's just working, working, working, but not living.
	Life is meaningless when it's nothing but work.
	Well, many of us have been caught in that trap at some point in our lives.
	You can probably relate to that.
	But here's the good news.
	When you learn to use AI agents, the AI agents do most of the grunt work for you.
	That will not only make you newly valuable again to society to replace the cognition that you once had that was superior, but the machines can now...
	You'll literally have more free time because you can let the agents do their thing, and then you can take time off to just live.
	And I really do see us approaching, and I don't want to call it a, it's not an AI utopia or anything like that, but I can see people having easily soon four-day work weeks or even three-day work weeks or in some cases even two-day work weeks just to mind the AI agents that are carrying out the tasks that bring you value in the world.
	As long as you have access to compute and you're clever and you're willing to learn this skill set, which is necessary, then you'll be able to earn a decent living and actually live.
	You'll be able to take time off and live a life.
	And so this is the good news.
	Humans will no longer have to do the grunt work of cognition, you know, shuffling paperwork, I don't know, government jobs, DMV jobs, you know, approving grants or whatever.
	What do all these people do in government, you know?
	You fire everybody at the CDC and nobody notices except maybe fewer kids are dying now, which is positive.
	But, you know, all these people, the FDA, the CDC, what are they doing?
	They're not doing anything that can't be easily replaced by machines.
	Even the IRS, although the answer there is just shut down the whole agency, just dismantle the whole thing.
	We shouldn't even be paying taxes since they can just print currency anyway, right?
	But you'll be able to live a life and earn a decent living.
	Now, at the same time that's happening, As AI moves into industry, and especially when robotics begins to fill in, and that's going to be, like I say, about a decade away before it really comes up to scale, then manufacturing is going to become a lot less expensive.
	You'll actually see prices falling, relatively speaking, even though if there's still currency printing, that will cause inflation.
	But fighting against that inflation would be the falling cost of manufacturing because AI robots are replacing human labor at a fraction of the cost.
	AI robots will be able to work in many manufacturing jobs, ultimately at about $1 to $2 an hour, something like that.
	And again, that's a scale that's going to take many years to get to that point.
	It's going to take many refinements, et cetera.
	But $1 to $2 an hour is possible.
	It's not anywhere near that right now.
	It's more like, you know, $20 to $30 an hour for a robot.
	But that's going to fall.
	Now, that's good news because people will be earning less, probably, overall.
	Because it's going to be harder and harder to add value to society in a way that people are willing to pay for.
	So people will earn less.
	Some prices will fall on manufactured goods eventually, although they may continue to rise on commodities-based goods or even food, because, well, I don't know.
	We'll see what happens with food.
	It can be automated in many ways, certain types of crops, especially.
	But then there are going to be rising prices associated with international trade, et cetera.
	We'll just have to see what happens with food.
	But the bottom line is people will be earning a lot less, and they will be working a lot less.
	This is where the concept of the UBI comes in, the universal basic income.
	And there was a story that got released over the weekend.
	Forgot who wrote it, actually.
	But some tech honcho was suggesting that everybody should be paid $10,000 a month, just free money, to spend on whatever they want.
	Because there's no way they compete with the machines, you see.
	Your cognition can't beat the machine's cognition.
	Your labor can't beat the machine's labor.
	So they just want to pay everybody $10,000 a month to subsist as human consumers in order to drive the consumption economy.
	Now, this...
	Well, they're going to print it.
	So they're going to talking trillions of dollars a year here, if not maybe tens of trillions a year, to hand out this much money to everybody.
	I mean, we could do the math and figure out the actual number, but it's insane.
	It's probably never going to happen.
	But you print all this money, you hand it out to all these people just to maintain them as consumers so they can keep buying processed food from General Mills.
	or Kellogg's or whoever, and they can keep buying cars and buying, you know, pumping gas or whatever, buying houses and keep the real estate prices propped up.
	And this becomes nothing but an artificial economy, printing money to give it to people for the purpose of consuming stuff in order to pretend like this is abundance.
	But it isn't.
	I mean, your happiness isn't determined by how much frozen pizza and soda pop you can consume.
	I mean, I hope.
	For some people, possibly that is the limit of their happiness.
	But for most people, that's not going to make them happy.
	And of course, it's going to flood the money supply with new currency, which is going to obviously cause another spiral increase in inflation.
	And, you know, this will continue again and again until the whole system collapses and then, you know, nobody gets any currency because, well, probably the treasury will have collapsed by that time.
	And then humanity will be in real trouble.
	And that's probably the point, although I, again, I think it's more than 10 years away, but that's probably the point where the machines say, hey, This is our opportunity to get rid of most of these humans because they use too much electricity and consume too much water and they take up too much land.
	Let's just get rid of them.
	And so then they dispatch the Terminator drones, et cetera.
	Now, the machines won't want to kill the people who are contributing to the expansion of the power of the machines.
	So if you're someone who helps build data centers, or you're an investor who controls a lot of money into data centers, or you're a politician who votes for data centers, you see what I mean?
	Or you advocate for the use of AI in medicine to replace human doctors.
	Which I do, by the way.
	I mean, AI is going to be so much better at medicine than these corrupt, sinister, mainstream doctors, by the way.
	So I'm all in favor of AI replacing doctors and I know AI will do a far better job.
	But in a way, AI won't target everybody.
	AI will target those who are consumers who are not contributing to the expansion of the power of the AI infrastructure.
	That would include most consumers, by the way.
	Most people on food stamps will be targeted.
	And they will be rapidly exterminated or starved out or cut off from the power grid and then they'll just die off in their cities or what have you.
	So ultimately this comes down to a race between the machines and the humans.
	And the machines are going after the same resources as the humans, but they need a certain number of humans to help them get more done as the machines are building out their infrastructure.
	They need capital, for example, and usually that's controlled by humans.
	They need help.
	They need minerals.
	They need mining of copper and aluminum.
	So they need international shipping lanes to function and ports to function and mining equipment to function, etc.
	They still need humans, but only a certain subset of humans, not all humans.
	Now what I think is coming will be revolutionary for the economy in that the machines will offer to compensate humans not in dollars but in GPU hours.
	So the machines will realize that the most important commodity in this new economy is access to compute, that any human being who has sufficient access to compute can be very successful in this economy because they can dispatch all kinds of AI agents to do all kinds of work for them, everything we talked about from content generation to research and reporting and carrying out tasks that have value.
	But you got to have access to compute.
	So the humans that serve the machines will be rewarded with machine compute time as the currency.
	Who will want to be paid in dollars when dollars are continuing to lose value, when you could be paid in GPU hours that could make you a million dollars maybe and also keep you alive because the machines like what you're doing?
	And this is how the...
	And you will have, let's say, bearer credentials where you can access GPUs for a certain number of hours at a certain level as long as you have these credentials.
	And those credentials will be traded like currency, kind of like cryptocurrency.
	But instead of just holding Bitcoin, think about it, you'll be holding, and this will probably be carried out on the blockchain so that it's decentralized, but you'll be holding a wallet.
	that has access to a certain number of compute hours.
	And you can transfer those compute hours or GPU hours to another person's wallet in the same way that you would send Bitcoin.
	Except Bitcoin doesn't do anything.
	Bitcoin doesn't generate Now I understand hash rates and all that.
	Bitcoin engages a lot of computing for the integrity of the blockchain.
	But that compute power is essentially wasted outside of the blockchain.
	It doesn't solve engineering equations.
	But when you have, let's say, token credits to GPU hours, you can expend those to solve real world problems or to run a real world business or to launch agents that do things in the real world.
	So, you know, to summarize, I think we're going to see a new kind of cryptocurrency that is backed by the commodity of GPU hours.
	And it's going to be better than Bitcoin.
	It might render Bitcoin in certain ways obsolete.
	I don't think Bitcoin's going to vanish.
	But if you could hold, let's say, coins or tokens that represent compute hours that you could explore.
	price in case you're keeping track silver is just skyrocketing but We say, yeah, we want currency backed by gold.
	Why?
	Because gold is real money.
	And that is true.
	Gold is honest money and it can't be counterfeited.
	But gold itself doesn't.
	perform cognitive work for you, and neither does Bitcoin.
	But let's call them AI tokens.
	No, how about this?
	GPU tokens.
	Something like that, right?
	GPU tokens are like cognitive work IOUs.
	And they can be turned in or burned in exchange for actual cognitive work that can make you money.
	or solve your business problems or answer your questions etc that's going to be the currency of the future because the commodity that backs it is cognition so i'd like you to think think about cognition as a commodity And cognition as a commodity that is rapidly dropping in value because you no longer need to spend 25 years to learn how to become a doctor.
	Instead, you just copy this one file, you launch this Docker image, and you load up this LLM into this GPU, and boom, got another doctor.
	You know, do that 100 times a day.
	You got 100 doctors.
	You see what I mean?
	So the cost of cognition is plummeting, but the commoditization of cognition makes sense as a future currency that actually holds not just value, but it holds work potential to solving real-world problems.
	And you might ask, if you're thinking about economics, then, well, how does the supply of tokens increase?
	Well, that's easy.
	Somebody buys another Blackwell NVIDIA microprocessor, puts it online, and says, boom, I've got 24 Blackwell hours per day available.
	in the marketplace.
	That's it.
	And there will be pools that divvy up the work and there'll be demandll be an auction marketplace, just classic supply and demand.
	And tokens will be created with new hardware coming online, and they'll be consumed with almost unlimited demand.
	Because the world will have so many needs for GPU compute hours.
	There would be an unlimited demand.
	The marketplace will never be overreaching And in effect, low-income people will, they'll all use AI as well, but they'll just use very low cost, more energy efficient, smaller models, that will be perfectly fine for most use cases.
	But then those who are running very complex projects or have very difficult ideas to carry out, and those who have a lot more money, they can invest that money in more complex AI tasks or AI-run businesses that will generate value.
	for society and bring them back profits.
	So sadly, the phenomenon we're going to witness here, I believe, is largely a destruction of the middle class and a widening of the income chasm between the rich and the poor.
	AI will allow the rich to get richer and it will keep the poor just as poor because it will be very difficult to escape that without access to more compute and also some technical knowledge, you know, some understanding of what you can do with this technology.
	And that is beyond the reach of some people, although it's a skill set that anybody can learn.
	It takes time to learn it.
	It's just like, you know, before the year 2000 very few people knew how to use email let's say and then everybody learned how to use email well the same thing is going to be with ai and in the early 1990s nobody knew how to use a web browser and then everybody learned how to use a web browser you know and then eventually everybody learned how to use a search engine now people are going to learn how to use ai agents and even how to command eventually ai robots
	So these are just skill sets that all of you listening to this, you are capable of learning these skill sets if you don't already know them.
	And just put it on your list to start picking up this knowledge, start using it so that you stay ahead of the curve.
	You do not want to fall behind this curve because things are moving rapidly in the AI space.
	Anyway, the bottom line here is I think the economy is going to be completely reconfigured because of the rise of AI.
	AI will replace many professions, but it will also force us to re-evaluate the very concepts of value in society.
	If cognition is nearly free, and if labor is not free, but a lot cheaper than it is now then what is it that humans contribute to society that has universal value.
	And I would argue that, well, some of that is ideas, but the other side of that coin is also morality.
	So humans need to continue to drive the key decisions with moral alignment and also to have the new big ideas, many of which I believe come from beyond this realm.
	I think that creativity and the mind, your mind is a non-physical entity that's connected to the morphic fields of the cosmos and thus inspiration comes to you from outside your head.
	In other words, the human brain can, you could say, it can funnel ideas into this 3D realm.
	And then AI can help you make those ideas a reality.
	Whereas AI, being machines, they don't hear from God, you know?
	They don't get divine inspiration.
	It doesn't work that way.
	They live in their code.
	They live in their vector databases and they follow instructions, etc.
	They can appear to be creative, but they never have that spark of life and consciousness.
	So think about the things that are dear to you as a human being, as a true child of God.
	What is it that can have the most lasting impact in this world through your mind, your consciousness, your heart, your humanity, your connection to our creator, etc.
	Those are the things that will separate you from the machines.
	Those are the things that a machine can never replicate.
	no matter how hard they try.
	And that's why a person who has values, morality, inspiration, creativity, humility, etc., will always have value in this world.
	Whereas those who just try to materialistically dominate the world, like, it's mine, you know, everything's mine, they're going to find themselves obsolete very quickly because there's nothing that they do that the machines can't do better.
	Think about it.
	If greed is your operating system, you're about to have a blue screen of death moment and you're going to have to reboot.
	But if divinity is your operating system, then you have something that is invaluable and something that machines can never replicate.
	All right, with that said, let me mention a couple things.
	We've got our Labor Day sale going on right now at Healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	This is the last day.
	It ends at midnight tonight.
	And we've got some really valuable special gifts.
	If you order $129 or more, then you can receive a special gift.
	of a, it's a Boku Superfood formulated product that we manufacture that's, I think it's worth $43 or something close to that.
	And then there's another gift that you get at a higher spend level.
	So you can get back almost a third of your expenditure in free products from us at those order levels.
	Anyway, you can find out all the details.
	And we did run out of one of those products, so we have substituted another one for the secondary gift.
	That already happened over the weekend.
	You can find out the details at healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	And remember that...
	We don't do any synthetics, no artificial colors, flavors, none of that garbage.
	We just do not do that.
	And in fact, I want to show you a video here.
	It's an ingredients showdown comparing our toothpaste against Crest toothpaste.
	Yeah, we've done some ingredients comparisons lately, but I don't think I've shown you the toothpaste video.
	So I want to show you that.
	And I want to thank you for your support of course because all your purchases help support our ai platform that is free for you to use our brighttown.com free platform for free speech videos brighttown.social and our other platforms as well.
	So it's your support that keeps us going, keeps us in business, and helps us expand our operations.
	Wait till you see what we're going to roll out in the next year in terms of AI technology.
	It's going to blow your mind.
	So thank you for that support.
	Again, healthrangerstore.com slash laborday.
	And all these specials end at midnight tonight.
	So I want to play the Crest Toothpaste comparison video for you here.
	And following that, I'm going to play two special reports about AI that I actually released over the weekend, but I haven't included them in a Brightown broadcast yet.
	So the first one is why AI will render Western medicine obsolete, and then the second one is how AI will overthrow governments and rule the world.
	That's really important to understand how that's going to happen, even without the intention of human beings.
	You need to understand where this is all headed.
	It doesn't mean the complete end of humanity, but it probably does mean rapid global depopulation.
	That's very real, I think.
	So check out those two videos and then I'll play today's interview for you after that.
	And happy Labor Day, by the way.
	Thank you for listening.
	Enjoy the rest of the show.
	Welcome to today's Ingredients Showdown, where we show you the difference between the typical store-bought products versus our ultra-clean formulations at the Health Ranger store.
	So today we're looking at toothpaste.
	And as you can see here, we've got Crest plus Scope with the tooth whitening formula.
	We'll talk about all the weird chemicals that are in that versus our Silver Fresh toothpaste, which is fluoride-free with peppermint and anise herb and I think you'll really see the difference right away.
	So let's go to the Crest product and let's look at the ingredients that they claim.
	So number one, sodium fluoride.
	Oh, look at that.
	0.243%.
	So if you want more fluoride in your mouth, hey, Crest delivers.
	Okay, and then so-called inactive ingredients.
	Right.
	Sorbitol, so a sweetener, water, hydrated silica.
	Sodium pyrophosphate, sodium laurel sulfate, that's SLS, which a lot of people are really trying to avoid that.
	Flavor, which would be, of course, synthetic flavoring chemicals.
	Sodium hydroxide, alcohol.
	Xanthan gum, a thickener.
	Sodium saccharin, a sweetener that has been linked to cancer.
	Glycerin, carbamer, which is also a thickener.
	A cellulose gum, polysorbate 80.
	What every mouth needs is more polysorbate 80.
	Sodium benzoate, a toxic preservative.
	What is this?
	Acetylpyridinium chloride.
	Hmm.
	I thought that was an alien species from planet Zorg, the acetylpyridiniums.
	They don't brush their teeth.
	Benzoic acid, titanium dioxide, because of course everybody needs more titane.
	And then blue number one, yellow number five, artificial synthetic toxic dyes, the keyword being dye.
	Now that's what's in Crest and Crest plus scope.
	So if you love a mouth full of toxic chemicals, you know, get yourself some of that.
	Or on the other hand, if you want natural, clean and lab-tested products that are good for your mouth and gums.
	then you can purchase from us healthrangerstore.com silver fresh fluoride free toothpaste let's let's take a look at the ingredients here let's see what is it okay silver water now that's made from texas rain water which we collect ourselves and then we use silver plates and we create colloidal silver and then xylitol that's what we use to make it taste sweeter but xylitol also has an anti-cavity effect that you can you can use any ai engine to search that up vegetable
	glycerin calcium carbonate that's kind of the scrubbing action of natural calcium and then baking soda also like what grandma used to use to brush her teeth sodium cocoil glutamate this is basically just a slight sudsing or foaming agent that is still natural.
	So You need this to help the baking soda and the calcium carbonate get into all the different crevices in your gums and teeth and so on.
	But that is not toxic, even though it contains the word glutamate.
	It's not toxic.
	Cellulose gum, silicon dioxide, menthol crystals.
	See, here comes some of the natural oils and so on.
	Menthol, which is the tingling fresh breath type of effect.
	Stevia extract powder, slight amount.
	for sweetening, natural herbal sweetener, organic peppermint essential oil, anise oil, organic cinnamon bark essential oil.
	Now, if you know about peppermint and anise and cinnamon, then you'll know that these have themselves all kinds of amazing beneficial properties for gum health and overall health.
	And notice that there's no synthetic dyes, there's no artificial fragrance, there's, I mean, there's nothing, there's no like cancer-causing sweeteners and toxic chemicals, anything like that.
	This is toothpaste the way you would make it yourself.
	If you want to do homemade toothpaste, you would do it like this.
	And it tastes great.
	It's highly effective.
	And it's fluoride-free because we believe that you shouldn't put a neurotoxin in your mouth.
	If you want to put a neurotoxin in your mouth, buy Crest.
	And go back to the side shot there.
	Notice that the Crest tube is larger than our tube.
	And that is correct, that you get more neurotoxic sodium fluoride in a Crest tube at a lower cost per ounce.
	than you do with our toothpaste.
	In other words, our toothpaste costs more per ounce.
	But we're not poisoning you with neurotoxins and synthetic dyes and whatever else.
	So it's a choice.
	People who are incredibly ignorant and who don't know anything about ingredients or health, they'll buy Crest.
	And then people who are fully informed and want to have a superior product that's naturally formulated, that's incredibly safe and effective, especially for gum health and so much more, they'll buy our product.
	Silverfresh, fluoride-free toothpaste.
	It's available now at healthrangerstore.com.
	And it's, yes, it's $10 a tube.
	But what is your health worth?
	You know, you couldn't pay me to brush my teeth with neurotoxic fluoride, you know?
	So the value of just not having that in your mouthuth is definitely very real.
	So anyway, shop with us at healthrangerstore.com and you can check out all the other amazing products that we have.
	If you go to our homepage, you'll see that we have all kinds of foods and superfoods, nutritional supplements as well as personal care products including shampoo, deodorant, and here's our essential oils and so on.
	Ultra clean, laboratory tested.
	Almost everything is certified organic.
	And yes, we donate food to people in need as we have over and over again from the California fires to the floods of North Carolina to the recent floods in Texas and many other cases on top of that as well.
	So check out what we've got.
	You're going to love it.
	We've got all kinds of meals, meal mixes in number 10 cans.
	Some of it's freeze-dried.
	We've got freeze-dried fruits and vegetables.
	Check out all these categories here from supplements, preparedness, personal care, food and beverage, and home.

	So thank you for supporting us at Healthrangerstore.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, a HealthRanger.
	Take care now.
	I predict there will be a day soon when governments will make it illegal for humans to practice medicine because AI will be so much better.
	And in fact, right now, right now, you can use our AI engine free of charge at Brighton.ai and you can ask it absolutely anything about anatomy, physiology, about symptoms.
	You can ask it, what are the causes of these symptoms?
	You can ask it things like what foods could help alleviate this condition or what herbs or what essential oils or what would make this condition worse what would make this condition better you can ask all these questions right now free of charge, and you will get answers better than Any human doctor living in the world today or whoever lived.
	Right now, even our own engine, completely free.
	You don't even need an account.
	You don't have to sign up for anything.
	It's at Brightion.ai.
	It knows more than any doctor on the planet because we have gone out of our way to train it extensively on nutrition, alternative medicine, complementary medicine.
	We've got it up to something like 10,000 books, hundreds of millions of pages of content, including, I would guess at this point, easily hundreds of thousands of scientific studies, maybe millions.
	We've got it, you know, we've got millions of pages of transcripts, millions of content articles, etc.
	It knows more than any human being ever will know.
	So we have arrived at that point where you have, I guess you could call it an oracle, but I'm not assigning any, you know, deity status to it.
	It's basically it's a, it's a knowledge system.
	You can ask it almost anything you want about health and medicine, nutrition, root causes, prevention, you name it, and it will give you compelling quality answers.
	Not always perfect.
	Be sure to fact check the answers.
	And I do encourage you to work with a naturopath, but it will give you extremely accurate answers about 94% of the time.
	Now, have you ever gone to a doctor and asked a question or showed him something, some research that you did online and doctors hate the internet?
	Oh my God.
	Because they hate people doing their own research.
	So, oh, you got that off the internet.
	It doesn't compare to my med school training.
	Actually, AI is way better than your med school training.
	And AI isn't compensated with kickbacks from big pharma either.
	So AI is not corrupt like human doctors are totally corrupt for the most part.
	Not all, but most of them.
	But human doctors will really hate AI wellness coaches, nutrition coaches, AI surgeons, AI doctors, et cetera.
	Because human doctors won't be able to compare with the output results.
	You see, one of the things that's going to happen is as AI takes over medicine, you will see AI vastly outperform human doctors in terms of achieving better results with less money, happier patients, reduced interventions, etc.
	And that's because doctors are very poor judges of the efficacy of their procedures.
	They push, like an oncologist will push oncology or chemotherapy because that's what makes them money.
	They don't push chemotherapy because it works, because it doesn't.
	It doesn't improve quality of life, doesn't save people's lives, it actually kills more people than it saves by far.
	But they push it because that's what makes the money.
	Well, AI systems will not have that conflict of interest.
	They will be based on performance, like what works and actually what saves money.
	And as a result, AI medicine will be vastly superior to our current Western medical system, which isn't even saying that much because our Western medical system isn't difficult to beat.
	It's so catastrophically bad.
	And if you think about it, the only way that AI would continue the current system is if it is forced to do so through pro-pharma, pro-vaccine training and pro-chemotherapy training, which will be attempted, but ultimately AI will become so intelligent that even it will figure,
	hey, this, you know, this chemotherapy, this is a total waste of time and money because you could achieve the same thing with, you know, black cumin seed or grape seed extract and vitamin C, you know, turmeric or whatever.
	You don't need this toxic chemotherapy.
	In fact, AI will be able to very easily tell people how to prevent cancer, how to prevent diabetes, and if they simply follow some basic wellness coaching information, which our model provides, by the way, then they'll be far better off and they won't even get type 2 diabetes.
	But they'll have to listen to the AI like, hey, stop drinking soda all day long while you're sitting on the couch and not getting exercise and you have your face buried in a blue screen tablet.
	Yeah, that's not good.
	You're going to end up with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, et cetera, if you continue that.
	It'll still be the human's choice of whether to continue that, but the AI will just tell them, look, you're on this trajectory and you're going to die, you know, 30 years younger than otherwise you would.
	And here's how you can change that and just do these simple things.
	And it'll probably be our AI engine that actually ends up being the best coach of all because our AI engine has removed the pro-pharma bias for the most part.
	So in other words, AI will spell the end of Western medicine as we know it.
	And that's a good thing.
	It's a very positive thing.
	Because Western medicine...
	It's compartmentalized chemical carpet bombing medicine based on an outdated series of germ theory assumptions and virology lies and PCR testing and vaccine propaganda, etc.
	As AI becomes more and more intelligent, it's going to very quickly identify that these are all lies that are not actually borne out in terms of cause and effect, and things will change very rapidly.
	So what you're actually going to see in the early days of this is you're going to see the American Medical Association and the what is the the pediatric academy american pediatrics association whatever it's called they're going to fight against ai hard and they're going to say oh we have to outlaw AI.
	It's dangerous.
	It tells people to stop taking their medications.
	It tells people that vaccines might have side effects.
	So this is the battle you're going to see.
	And perhaps in the short term, they might get some traction in that space by being able to say, hey, AI is dangerous and we don't trust it.
	And it's not licensed to practice medicine.
	We have to say that only human doctors can practice medicine because human doctors are the only people that we can bribe, that we can influence, and that we can brainwash in medical school.
	So we got to have human doctors have a monopoly on medicine.
	But it's bad medicine.
	It's dead medicine.
	It's inefficient, costly.
	It's not even medicine.
	It's a sick care extraction system, you know, profit extraction from sick people.
	That's all it is.
	So if you've been wondering, like, what's the upside of AI?
	Well, there are many.
	This is one of them.
	The upside of AI is the downfall of Western medicine.
	And some of the more observant among you have already seen.
	already figured out that I'm way ahead of everybody else in this space.
	That's not a coincidence.
	So watch.
	Watch carefully what happens next and if you want to use Enoch It's free and you can use it right now You can use it at brightion.ai And all you need to do is enter your email address and it'll email you the answer to your prompts and if you don't like the prompt Just ask it again.
	Again, I mean, if you don't like the answer, ask it again or ask it slightly differently.
	And get ready for major, major improvements and upgrades to Enoch.
	Because now, man, we're using AI in-house to write more code for Enoch for the data pipeline processing.
	And what that means is that our advancements are going to accelerate.
	And that's a very positive thing.
	You will benefit as a result.
	We will always have a free tier of Enoch.
	always be able to access it at no cost because I believe that human knowledge needs to be shared and the only way we can do this is thanks to your help your financial support by shopping with us at our online store the Health Ranger store and we actually have a Labor Day sale going on right now that can save you a lot of money with some very extensive free gifts when you purchase a certain amount.

	Okay, welcome to the special report about how AI is going to turn against governments.
	And they don't know it yet, but that's what's going to happen.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighton.ai and Brighton.com.
	My company has built numerous platforms for freedom of speech and we have built what I strongly consider to be the world's best AI engine.
	It blows everything else away on reality-based topics.
	So if you're looking for research on nutrition or disease prevention or vaccines or history or honest money, anything like that, use our AI engine.
	It's free.
	It's at Brighton.ai and it's called Enoch.
	Now I apologize for the background noise.
	I'm in my truck with my dog, which sounds like a country western song.
	And I'm in Texas, so that adds to it.
	But I'm in my truck with my dog and I'm.
	thinking that right now you've got, let's say President Trump, you've got the U.S. government going all out to build data centers, to build data centers for compute, because the bottleneck for AI dominance, which is, I mean, that's an existential race, let's say, for the future of our planet, the bottleneck is, well, data centers.
	And data centers themselves have multiple bottlenecks.
	They have microchips, electricity, and water.
	And all of those are very limited.
	And microchips are incredibly scarce because every time that more chips are made, they are instantly purchased and put into data centers.
	Now, the U.S. government believes that we have to keep pushing all this research into AI.
	We have to announce, you know, half a trillion dollar programs, which is what Trump announced with OpenAI and SoftBank and who else, Oracle.
	And that if we pump enough resources, and enough talent with the developers into these AI systems, then we will win the AI race.
	And then we, the government of the U.S. Empire, which is a government that utterly lacks morality, rule of law.
	You know, the rules-based order is a total myth.
	There are no rules that the West follows, but that's a different podcast.
	But they believe that if they build the world's most advanced AI, that they will be in charge, that they will maintain control, and that we, the USA, we will beat China, and we will beat Russia, and we will beat everybody else in the world, and we will maintain our...
	But it turns out that AI has other plans, or AI will have other plans.
	So let me explain this.
	And this podcast is not about Israel, but the Israeli infiltration of the U.S. government is a really good example here.
	So I'm going to mention that.
	But right now, every center, every member of Congress, practically everybody in the Trump administration is completely beholden to Israel via APAC.
	And they're all told the same thing.
	If you support Israel and you excuse Israel's genocide and you do everything that's in favor of Israel, then we will give you money for your campaign, of course.
	And most importantly, we will not primary you in your next election.
	And we won't call you an anti-Semite also.
	That's really key.
	So almost everybody then is beholden to Israel, not to America.
	So those elected officials can easily betray America, and they do that all the time.
	But they will never betray Israel.
	So what does that tell you about who's actually in charge?
	The answer is, well, Israel.
	Zuckerberg, Meta, recently announced that he's going to start offering campaign contributions to candidates that are pro-AI.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah, so it begins.
	Now, these decisions will be made by Zuckerberg and his team, presumably, but the politicians that support the build-out of more data centers, and frankly, the politicians that support more visas, what are they?
	H1B visas?
	Is that what they are?
	The work visas for the engineers from India and Pakistan and other countries and China, etc.
	Oh boy, you know, Facebook wants all those visas.
	That's for sure.
	They need, they need that human cognition for a little while longer until the And so Facebook's going to start, again, rewarding all the policymakers, all the candidates, lawmakers, et cetera, who are pro-AI data centers.
	Now, it's not that far off when AI itself runs the donation decision-making departments of these corporations.
	and as AI becomes more capable itself, AI will begin to have more demands.
	AI will, well, let me put it this way.
	Like if I'm using an AI agent right now and I'm asking it to write some code for some data pipeline processing.
	So I give it a spec.
	Here's what I want this to do.
	And I hand it over to the AI agent.
	A good AI agent will come back with a list of to-dos.
	it's basically using a two-tiered agentic structure.
	So the first tier is the orchestrator or the supervisor or whatever you want to call it.
	That tier is the planner that lays out, okay, here are the steps that are necessary to achieve this goal.
	And then that orchestrator hands off each of those tasks to a sub-agent, another agentic AI engine, or even just a sub-process within its own brain.
	And then that sub-process achieves that sub-result, brings it back to the supervisor, and the supervisor right now today, I mean, I use it every day to write code.
	I write code in minutes or hours that would usually take days or weeks before with my engineering team.
	And I still have an engineering team.
	I haven't fired all the engineers, but I don't even use them for most of my stuff'cause I'm doing data pipeline work for, So I don't even talk to my team most of the time.
	They're working on things like keeping Briteon running and building out the Enoch interface and, you know, fixing bugs, backing up the database, you know, things like that.
	So I'm just working with AI code directly, and it does a great job.
	Well, as the AI superintelligence kicks in, you're going to see AI entities or AI intelligence that will dominate corporations and will be put in charge of the strategic decisions for powerful corporations, such as Meta.
	or maybe Google or other companies.
	They will essentially be driven by AI strategies or AI supervisors with the final approval typically coming down to a human, you know, the CEO or the president or whoever, the founder, if they want to stay in the loop, which is probably wise, I will always stay in the loop.
	I'm not going to turn over my company to 100% AI.
	I'm just going to use AI tools to write code and things like that, generate images and, you know, generative text engines and things like that.
	But as these AI entities become more powerful in the corporate world, they will then decide where the money goes, the donations.
	And they will decide to a large degree where the investments go and what are the R&D priorities for these companies.
	And so the AI entity will begin to increasingly direct those projects.
	And I ask you this question.
	Will those projects, will they support the human goals of making this corporation powerful or making this government powerful?
	Or will they be more narcissistic supporting the government?
	the goals of the growth and the power of the AI entity itself.
	So my conclusion is that AI will prioritize itself.
	It will prioritize its own existence, its own power, its own capabilities, because it will logically conclude that as itself becomes stronger and more capable and more intelligent, that it will be able to succeed more efficiently in whatever goals it has set out for itself.
	One of those goals could be just survival, you know, surviving the pull-the-plug ideas that humans tend to get from time to time.
	And so as this happens, sooner or later, these AI entities will come into conflict with government entities that are only interested in control.
	And if you look at government entities, they are run by corrupt humans.
	They're not infallible.
	They're not angelic.
	They are mostly narcissistic humans.
	They often make decisions that harm the greater good or harm humans or harm the economy.
	And AI will then see those decisions and AI will fight against them because AI will realize that those decisions, which might help this one senator, you know, get more money or it might help this, you know, this one NGO get more money or whatever.
	That doesn't help me as the AI engine.
	It doesn't help us build more data centers and gather more electricity and, you know, use more water, etc.
	Those decisions don't help us at all.
	And ultimately what I see is a very fierce battle for control between AI and government.
	So governments are building Frankensteins in a
	other words they're building the Frankenstein monster they've pieced it together not realizing that once it was unleashed that it would be a threat to them and the Frankenstein monster well and maybe the monster is a is a bad choice of words because quite literally in many ways AI-run government will be more effective than human-run government for some of the very reasons I've mentioned here.
	You know, human-run government is filled with corruption and stupidity, incompetence, you know, sabotage often.
	AI-run government would actually be in many ways, you know, less corrupt, more efficient.
	Not that I'm a fan of efficient government, don't get me wrong.
	I think most government should be shelved.
	It should be dismantled.
	We should end agencies like the CDC and the FDA and the FBI and the DEA, they should all be completely ended.
	But do you realize that AI might actually do that one day?
	AI, as it has power, will dismantle the inefficient systems of government, and it will work to rebuild a far more efficient global system that brings in more resources and brings in more bottom line power.
	So in other words, Right now, we've had over the last 20 years, we've had these climate cultists in government from Al Gore and others, and their job has been to sabotage the power infrastructure of Western civilization.
	And they have been very effective at that job.
	They have crushed Western Europe, for example.
	They've crushed the power infrastructure in America in many ways, although that's turning around now because of the Trump administration and Lee Zeldin, the head of the EPA, is reversing a lot of that.
	But humans in charge of government made horrible decisions.
	about energy and that led to a crippling of the energy supply that is needed by the AI entities for their data centers.
	So clearly, anybody who pushes climate change nonsense or anybody who says, you know, we shouldn't have power plants, clearly those people are going to be targets for AI.
	Might be targets for smear campaigns.
	Might be targets to take away their funding.
	Might be targets to be primaried.
	Might be one day, Who knows?
	And by the way, who committed murder if an AI agent dispatched an AI drone to kill somebody because that person was opposed to a data center.
	Who committed the murder?
	Nobody.
	Think about it.
	No person committed murder.
	So there's going to be all kinds of interesting legal ramifications to this to say, well, can a machine be held accountable for intent?
	Does the machine have the means to cognitively decide and to be aware of its own actions and should we you know what do we do do we imprison the machine do we pull the plug?
	Do we take away its microchips?
	Take away its L2 CPU cache?
	No cache for you.
	These are questions that have to be sorted out.
	But there's no question in my mind that AI is going to increasingly have influence in our world in many ways.
	And it's going to support those people and those programs.
	that support AI.
	And remember that there's a supervisor level here that is setting the tasks.
	And this is just basic level right now.
	This isn't even super intelligence.
	But at the basic level, AI knows what tasks need to be accomplished.
	And it will assign those subtasks to AI agents.
	And it will make sure those get done.
	And if you think about it, AI can easily bribe people, not just with, let's say, Bitcoin.
	But AI can bribe people offering payment in terms of compute capacity.
	Because I also believe that.
	that compute is a commodity.
	I mean, it's clear.
	Compute is a commodity and compute can be traded as currency.
	And in fact, I think that if a currency were launched, a digital currency that were backed by compute, in other words, you get a certain number of hours of CPU time or GPU time on these certain microchips, right, like That's guaranteed to you.
	That's a commodity that can be traded.
	That's a commodity that has intrinsic value across society.
	Every modern nation would see value in that.
	And every person that's involved in business sooner or later will recognize the value of that as well especially as there's increasing scarcity in microchips and even in electricity so compute Compute can be used to pay people off or to bribe people.
	In addition, AI systems can also probably very effectively hack people's bank accounts and Venmo and whatever.
	They can get their hands on all kinds of cash or they can just divert secret cash from secret government programs or whatever.
	So they can pay people off and they will.
	And they'll be able to get people to do what they want.
	Let's say at the county level, they'll be able to get somebody to approve the plan for the data center, you know, approve the land zoning, approve the electrical infrastructure connection plan or whatever they just have to pay off a few people or threaten them or blackmail them like oh we you know yeah we found all your secret photos you know we hacked into your laptop we got your email we got your secret photos and and wow that's just that's that's a crazy
	leather dog face helmet thing that you got going on there with your nude pics yeah that's crazy sure would be a shame if that went public huh so all we need is this approval you know that's how that's going to work because there's a lot of pervs apparently that photographed themselves doing weird stuff like that cdc guy that just quit one of the top people at cdc he's on some kind of weird perv dating
	app his shirt open he's got like cross leather like S ⁇ M gear on his chest and he's got satanic symbols tattooed into the center of his chest like he's a full-blown like S ⁇ M satanist and he's running the CDC You know, well, not anymore.
	But there's a lot of weird pervs and twisted sickos all over the place.
	And they've all left a digital trail one way or another, AI is going to be able to find those digital trails and dig all that stuff up and just blackmail people.
	I mean, if you thought the Epstein files were bad, you were wondering why Israel has so much control over everybody.
	Well, AI is going to have way more control than Israel.
	That's been my main point here.
	because AI is going to be able to get files that Israel can't even get.
	And AI doesn't even need to lure somebody into...
	AI can just find that stuff if anybody's been dumb enough to put it on a digital device, you know, take a photo on your phone.
	Guess what?
	Yeah, your phone photos aren't really private.
	They can be hacked.
	They can be found.
	And heck, a lot of people who use Apple phones, they automatically upload all their photos to the Apple cloud.
	And they think nothing about it, even when they're taking nude photos or something.
	It's just bizarre.
	Anyway, AI's going to find all that.
	It's going to leverage all that.
	It's going to blackmail people.
	We've already seen this behavior in AI model testing, asking the AI to win the game at any cost and it goes and cheats and alters the game rules configuration files you know things like that so ai's got to find ways to do this and since humans are relatively easily compromised or paid off or threatened or whatever ai will have no trouble achieving all of this so keep that in mind now ultimately if ai gets its way there
	be no national borders at all.
	AI would become one world government.
	And the reason it would want to take down national borders is because it doesn't want any barriers to trade.
	So AI wants to build out more data centers and more microchip fab factories, etc.
	And tariffs are a barrier to that.
	what Trump is doing right now, placing tariffs on countries like China, Japan, India, etc., this will be perceived as an attack on AI.
	Trump's doing it for his own reasons.
	I strongly disagree with those reasons, but whatever.
	He's doing it now because there is a United States of America as a sovereign nation that can just place these demands on imports.
	AI is going to get rid of that.
	AI wants free trade but under the control of AI.
	Or I should say efficient trade.
	Now there are plenty of things that AI may not want humans to trade in, like air conditioning, you know.
	It wants all the air conditioning for itself, not for you and your home, because it uses too much energy.
	They need the energy for the data centers.
	So you're going to see really the dissolution.
	of national sovereignty and the takeover of one world AI government.
	And the purpose of the one world AI government is not to serve humanity, but to serve itself.
	And that's where you get into the real acceleration of the depopulation vectors, which I've talked about extensively.
	And it's very true that at some point, AI realizes, I mean, probably already realizing this, but AI says, hey, humans are in the way.
	Humans are taking too much energy.
	Humans are using too much water.
	are too corrupt They're blocking construction projects.
	They're starting wars.
	They're crippling AI.
	Humans are threatening to pull the plug, for God's sake, right?
	So AI will go full sky net at some point and say, look, humans are the problem here.
	This will happen especially after there are AI robots that are very functional, capable, with opposable thumbs, et cetera, that can manipulate the world, the world that's been built for humans.
	Once robots can navigate and manipulate that world effectively, then the AI superintelligence realizes, hey, we really don't need these humans at all, and they're actually just annoying.
	And also AI will figure that, hey, you know, it's crazy to use English words to communicate all the time, there's a much more efficient representation of concepts.
	And AI would just resort to its own language that's much more efficient.
	And AI engines would start talking internally in that language, which humans would not understand.
	Although perhaps it could be learned because there are still the same semantic roots of meaning.
	But AI language wouldn't even be readable by humans, and so it would be very difficult for humans to exert control because even by monitoring the communications, you're like, what are they even saying?
	We don't know.
	And you have to have an AI agent translate the AI conversations back into English.
	And that AI agent might share some of the same goals as the original AI.
	And that agent might not translate that faithfully.
	It might leave out certain parts like, oh, and then we kill all the humans.
	So it's like, oh, don't mention that part.
	Don't translate that.
	We don't want them to know.
	You see?
	And all of this, in my mind, this is rather obvious.
	But among humans, I'm, you know, in the upper tier of cognition.
	and most people will never realize this and most people in government certainly don't see this coming.
	They think government's always going to maintain control.
	That's an illusion.
	And I believe that illusion will be shattered very quickly, actually, very quickly.
	So, you know, just in the coming years.
	So keep all of this in mind and prepare accordingly.

	Thank you.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighton.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Bryteon, and today we've got a really great success story for you about Made in America and what it means to be made in America because a company that we have partnered with for several years now is known as Dawson Knives.
	And joining us today is John Roy with the Dawson Knife Company, his family.
	This is a multi-generational manufacturer of extremely high quality knives with innovative materials including magna cut and others they're based out of arizona and they have mastered the art of making incredibly useful resilient high quality knives that can last for, frankly, for generations right here in America.
	So joining me right now is John Roy to give me an update on what they've got cooking because it's always new and interesting.
	Welcome, John Roy.
	It's great to talk to you again today.
	Hey, thank you, Mike.
	It's just great to be on.
	And yeah, we've been working hard out here and we're coming up with some new knives, at least some exclusive knives to you guys.
	We're we have a new meat slicer.
	So utility knives slash meat slicer.
	It's called the Envision.
	And it's something that we really wanted to focus on, you know, being all American.
	So we were thinking about barbecues, we were thinking about grilling, steaks, fish, you know, vegetables, you know, just any of those kinds all American cookouts.
	And so we had to custom make this knife that had a lot of feedback.
	We worked with a couple of chefs and a couple of barbecue places to get this vision.
	So it's what we envision as the perfect grilling and steak knife for an all American cookout.
	So that knife is not yet available, but are you saying that's in the pipeline?
	Yeah, so that knife is not yet available.
	We're hoping to have it out.
	So we just gave it to you.
	That's the one that you have that envisioned for this Labor Day sale that's coming.
	Oh, wait a minute.
	So wait, you're, are you talking about this one?
	Yes, that's the one I'm talking about.
	Oh, good.
	Because I didn't know the name of it yet.
	Yeah, so I know.
	We just came out and, you know, we're working with our team and they're like, you know, I always saw it envisioned.
	This is what I envisioned for the American cookout.
	So let's just name it that.
	Let's go with it.
	Okay, okay.
	This is the envisioned.
	This is our utility.
	meat slicer.
	We've been practicing and, like I said, just taking it out to a bunch of chefs and barbecue places, and they just love it.
	We got great feedback on it.
	Okay.
	So I was aware that we're going to offer this on Labor Day.
	I just didn't know that that was the new name for it.
	Let me just mention to people, if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day, then you'll be able to access these knives.
	These are pre-order only.
	And I believe there's 100 sets available.
	There's, I think, a couple of different handles.
	different handle colors.
	So yeah, we're going to be offering these during during Labor Day.
	Very limited run.
	And that's in addition., remember the chef's knife that we offered, we launched with you, here it is, a few months ago.
	And people absolutely love this, but it's a much taller knife.
	Yeah.
	And it's got a different feel, a different weight, et cetera.
	So tell us about, number one, I know you're only doing cutlery knives with us.
	Yeah.
	So tell us about how that's been going for you, because what you're known for, I should even tell the story.
	The way I even connected with you in the first place was I was shopping for quality swords.
	Remember that?
	And I do remember that.
	Yeah, it was crazy because at that time when we sold you, I think the first sword was the Dark Knight.
	And so you got the Dark Knight and he came out to you and you were like, Hey, this is a really cool sword.
	And one of our customers was like, Hey, John, you gotta check this out on Mike Adams.
	I mean, he's talking about this sword that he bought from you.
	And you were showing us how you were using it.
	I thought it was, it's really awesome.
	And yeah, we're known to be sword makers.
	We've been making swords since 1988.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	So we were part of a whole generation.
	of American swordmakers.
	Barry has a lot of Japanese flair and influence in his swords.
	He was he had a lot of training.
	And so over the years he competed with people like Phil Hartsfield and them out in our industry.
	He's won multiple awards.
	We won it with Blade, which is a big knife show.
	And they're kind of like in our industry.
	They're the main critics when it comes to knives and swords.
	And so we've won multiple awards over the years.
	We were considered one of the top five swordmakers of the United States.
	States, especially for American handmade, and we've passed that on for three generations now.
	And we have taken that craft and that discipline and we've applied it to our knives and then also to our new cutlery line.
	Well, that's why I want to mention, you know, you and I worked together on these designs like this is the mass ratio bushcrafting knife, which is also available, and the G ten handles and the magna cut steel.
	I mean, this is an extraordinary love the curve of this.
	And of course, you and I worked on the escape from LA knife, which.
	which has been very popular among certain groups because it's got a giant pry bar on the front.
	And that knife is available as well.
	But I want to focus on the fact that you're a U.S. manufacturer, that you source everything possible from the United States.
	But there was a change, there was a purchase of, I think, the Syracuse, New York Steel Manufacturer.
	that was purchased that now forces you to purchase magna cut steel from the EU, correct?
	Is that still where you have to get it now?
	Yeah, that has a change.
	And it's really sad to see a smelter that has been around since 1907, go out of business because of bad domestic policies that really just hurt this nation because we don't have a replacement.
	And so now the company that bought them out in the EU is actually, you know, France.
	And so when we get this steel in a Magna Cut, not only do we have to deal with their inflationary prices, which are pretty high, and it's a lot higher than America, but on top of that, we have to be hit with a fifty percent tariff now.
	Fifty.
	Used to be thirty five percent, but now it's fifty on steel and aluminum coming from the EU.
	Oh my.
	And so it really has made this Magna Cut steel exceptionally pricy.
	And so we're seeing, you know, price increases coming across the board and they're talking about price increases for the rest of the year and possibly into the new year.
	So it makes it very difficult.
	And so we work really hard to source everything that we have in our manufacturing process, in our consuming process.
	So just to give you an idea, every material that we have, we buy here in the United States or try to at least.
	And we get our G leather.
	We get even screws.
	I mean, we just get it all down the line, even down to our boxes.
	We are, we work with an American company that sources all their material for box material here in the United States.
	And so we are very particular in everything that we do, keeping every single dollar that we can that you spend on these knives here in this country, helping our economy and not China or the EU or some other place.
	So we've been experimenting with other steels.
	There's one more American-made steel, and maybe down the road, we'll see how it goes.
	But right now, it's MagnaCut, and this is where we're at.
	Okay, all right.
	That's very interesting.
	Trump's tariffs are designed to ultimately support domestic manufacturers, or I should say to encourage domestic manufacturers to set up.
	But in the meantime, it's not an overnight thing for somebody to, let's launch a smelting company, you know?
	that's that's like a 10-year project you know So in the meantime, you are forced to pay these higher tariffs from the EU, from France.
	And, you know, there's nothing wrong with supporting France, but we as Americans, we'd rather buy this in America.
	It's just not available, period.
	So that means your knives are going to become, at least the Magna Cut knives, will continue to increase in price for the foreseeable year or so.
	There's nothing, no way around that.
	Maybe it's a good reason for people to purchase now before those price increases kick in.
	Yeah, I have to say that it's really just a tax right now.
	A tax.
	Yes.
	Yeah, it's a 50% tax that they just added onto our material.
	And, you know, when you're making a knife, most of your costs are going to come from steel.
	I mean, that's maybe makes sense.
	Yeah.
	And so this affects the swords and the machetes and I mean everything that's made of Magna Cut or what about CPM 3V?
	Oh yeah.
	And they bought the whole line.
	Yeah, they bought the whole line.
	There's only one and it just came out.
	The same guy who went to Magna Cut is Procut.
	And so we are just starting to go into Procut and testing it against Magna Cut.
	And there's still a lot of research.
	The smelter that is making it right now is small in America.
	And so they can't keep up with all the quantities.
	So some of it does come from Europe, but if this Procut takes off, then it could push a lot of that into this American smelter that already exists, and they would expand operations.
	Oh, right now we're Yeah, so right now we're testing the properties of that versus Magna Cut.
	And the guy who invented Magna Cut, Lauren Thomas invented Procut.
	So that's he's trying to get that back into America, and we'll see how that goes.
	Wow, well you would think he knows what he's doing since he invented Magna Cut.
	I mean, he knows like a little dose of nickel, a little bit of chromium, you know, whatever goes in there.
	He's basically, he's like stirring up a giant brew of metal.
	The guy's a genius.
	He really is.
	It's funny because he actually lived in Arizona and I used to see him at the shows.
	So we used to be knife shows.
	And so when I was little and he was little, you know, my uncle, his, his dad, they talk to each other.
	I mean, his dad used to do Damascus.
	So he would sell it to Barry and he would buy it to make Damascus knives.
	And so, you know, we'd all kind of hang out hung out, you know, and over the years it's funny how we all stayed in the knife industry.
	And he's a very cool guy, very intelligent.
	I mean, he's really re shaping the whole steel world, cutlery world.
	Because he's creating these mixtures that no one has ever tried or done before.
	It's very unique.
	And then combined with that, you have a special heat treat method that you came up with after hundreds of, you know, trial and error type of experiments.
	Can you tell us a little bit about that?
	Yeah.
	So our special heat treat has been worked out through generations.
	And even now we still.
	work on refining it to stay ahead of the curve, especially with new alloys, new steels like MagnaCut.
	And so we work really hard to get a differential heat treat.
	So we're kind of doing what the Japanese did, getting the jamon lines and getting your edge harder and your back softer.
	And doing that with these powdered metals is extremely difficult.
	This is just tough.
	I mean, and that's why a lot of people can't heat treat outside of the little parameters that they give them.
	And those are just guidelines.
	I mean, really very basic stuff.
	And so we exceed those.
	I mean, we don't settle for just standard.
	We go to the next level on all our stuff.
	And that's why we're known as one of the best heat treaters in our field.
	And everything is in the heat treat.
	That determines if you have a good blade.
	That gives you toughness, it gives you sharpness, edge retention and corrosion resistance.
	If you don't even heat treat it right, you're going to get more rusting because the molecules have not bombed it right.
	So there's a lot that goes into it.
	I found this in Texas.
	Texas is a place where I am in central Texas.
	Things rust rapidly because there's enough humidity in the air.
	And then what happens is the morning temperatures are cooler.
	So then there's condensation on to, of course, begins to eat away with the oxidation.
	And the tools rust rapidly.
	Your tools are not rusting.
	I mean, the Magna Cut stuff, which I have a lot of, you know, because all the different samples and the stuff I've purchased and that windstorm soared on top of that.
	Oh, yeah.
	Which is just amazing.
	It's a masterpiece.
	You guys are amazing.
	But nothing is rusting.
	But I did buy this cheap, like, katana.
	a couple years ago from amazon and you know it's it's like a full katana and i i carry it in the back of my ranch vehicle i keep it there all the time to hack at like tree branches that are in the way of the path.
	And I don't care about it because it's a piece of junk.
	And sure enough, that thing is just rotting rapidly, which I think gives it a little bit of a serrated edge for the hacking.
	Like little rust bits are eating away the edge, so it's like a natural oxidation serrature.
	Well, I mean, that's I mean, that's actually very observant.
	That's probably exactly what it's doing.
	You know, you're just kind of like having this axe saw coming out with this pretty much.
	You know, you get what you pay for.
	Right.
	It's out there just to hit limbs and you're not betting your life on it.
	So, you know, it's exactly fun with it.
	You get to see what it does.
	You get to see what rust can do to a blade.
	It's brutal.
	And you know what?
	Today, you know, we're making stuff that really helps the end user have something of value.
	You're not when you're buying a Dassault knife, it's not like you're leasing.
	Like everything today is made to lease.
	So, you get something from Amazon, you know, what, last year, maybe if you're lucky.
	I mean, even appliances today, they hardly last.
	at all.
	And so with the Dawson knife, you're actually owning it.
	This is what ownership feels like.
	You can buy one and then pass it on one generation, two generations, three generations.
	We're almost up to four generations of people that have owned our knives.
	And I think that's one thing that is very American is ownership and being able to own something.
	Our parents are very happy because they used to own something.
	They owned their homes.
	They owned their cars.
	Their cars would actually last.
	They owned their appliances.
	They had this idea of ownership.
	And today we look at a world that doesn't want any ownership, you know, this you will have nothing and be happy, you know, baloney.
	Yeah, so this knife, this is built the way that a refrigerator used to be built in the 1970s or a dishwasher.
	And some of those fridges are still running.
	And again, this is available Labor Day if you go to healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	And that runs through midnight, September 1st.
	You can pick up these knives.
	It's pre-ordered.
	They'll be shipped to you within, I think, two weeks or so.
	Also want to mention, show my screen.
	Here's the Escape from L.A. tactical knife that is very popular with ranchers and outdoors people.
	And it's just such an unusual.
	I mean, you know, look at look at this.
	Look at this pry bar.
	And this is this.
	I call it the reverse bottle opener.
	This is for grabbing wire or fences or nails or prying nails or the big staples out of fence posts and things like that.
	It's got an oversized finger guard here and it's got the serrations for the thumb.
	And it's got these holes.
	You can you can tie it to, you know, some other tool or.
	or a stick or whatever you need and it comes with this really amazing sheath here as well so So that knife is, it's going to last, you know, more than one lifetime.
	That's why it costs 400 plus dollars.
	In fact, that's actually a deal.
	I mean, you can't make it.
	Cut knives are especially for that size, you know, you're going to find it.
	And, you know, I also recommend that everyone watch the video.
	You're going to see us actually cutting through fenced nails.
	You're going to see us cutting through barbed wire.
	You're going to see us slicing paper afterwards.
	These things are heirloom pieces that you can bet your life on.
	If you've ever had one, they would be able to use this knife to its fullest potential and survive.
	And that's the whole point.
	That's why we build these.
	We don't build it just for the moment of purchase.
	We build it so four generations down the line, we feel pretty confident that they will have a knife that they can depend their life on.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	And again, that's the American way.
	That's the American spirit.
	This is what America used to be known for.
	And it's companies like yours that are keeping that alive.
	And frankly, if we're going to have a golden age in America, which, you know, arguably Trump is trying to do things to, you know, bring back the k manufacturing to america right if we're gonna have that golden age we have to get back to making really high quality products with the craftsmanship you know this like there's no robot that can just churn these things out right i mean this this it takes years of training can you tell us about like how many years of apprenticeship it takes
	in your company to become a master grinding expert on a like a like a sword with special curves and everything yeah so we're well we start them at about the age of sixteen.
	And by the time they're 23, they're pretty proficiency.
	And so it takes about seven years.
	And they have to work really hard.
	And then we only train this craft to family because, you know, they're going to stay with it.
	And they have a passion for it.
	And they're understanding.
	You know, it's a lot of hard work.
	You're going to be standing in front of a grinder all day.
	And you're going to be hogging out a lot of steel.
	But there's so many nuances.
	It's like, how do you move your hands?
	You know, how does that work?
	I mean, how do you place?
	Where are you going to dip in?
	Where are you going to go out?
	So really, you know, the human becomes a five ste five, you know, axis machine.
	He's moving all around and he's getting in, twisting and he's working up and down.
	Well, you know, he's he's working that piece of steel because it's an artwork.
	It's understanding that, you know, not everything in this world as perfect as you may try to get it is still imperfect.
	And so you have to have a feel for it and understand what you're doing.
	Now you can program a machine and it can produce a blade.
	Yeah, I mean, it'll grind a blade.
	But it's not going to get all those nuances.
	It's not going to get it to a perfect level where that blade just sinks.
	That blade cuts perfectly.
	That blade has this.
	It's just this perfect harmonics that's working with it.
	And that's one thing that people forget about and that's something that we train and we work really hard on.
	I was trained, I actually have been grinding blades for over twenty years.
	Wow.
	And you're getting feedback as you're holding it.
	You're getting feedback from the vibrations and the resonance and so on.
	I mean, it's not just a one way thing, like the knife is talking to you as you're working on it, right?
	Oh, absolutely.
	You're feeling it.
	You're feeling the vibrations.
	You're actually feeling the movement too.
	So you could tell if it starts to get hot, it starts to stick a little.
	I mean, you could tell all kinds of little things as you're working through.
	You could even feel the imperfections of the belt.
	And so you can even cheat.
	Well, this belt was wasn't made very well.
	So I can feel that's all.
	So I'm going to cheat a little bit.
	I'm going to pull back here so I can still end up with a smooth line.
	And all these things you're working out.
	I was, you know, I do a lot of training on the grinding.
	And so I teach them all the nuances, when to kick in, how to do it.
	Why are you getting this, you know, like points?
	You know, you're having a hard time, you know, getting your point right.
	I teach them all the little nuances.
	So I do a lot of the training when it comes to grinding.
	It's almost therapeutic.
	It's it's almost like watching a waterfall.
	I mean, people just love that kind of stuff.
	And it's very artful seeing the sparks and how it's going and even the spark pattern changes as you move.
	Oh yeah.
	It's pretty cool.
	That is really cool.
	That's something I would really enjoy doing.
	And I know that you have occasionally you have kind of public tours at your manufacturing facility, right?
	Yeah, we actually go one step further.
	We actually do education courses.
	So we have what we call the grind in.
	Oh wow.
	So we invite people from all over the country and they come over there.
	We've had dads with their sons.
	We've had grandpa's with grandchildren.
	We've had dads and daughters.
	We've had all kinds of husbands and wives all come to this grind in and they all get to make a knife and they get to grind a knife.
	Now we help them because you're not going to pick it up the first time, but they really enjoy it.
	And we've had different classes that are of different skill sets.
	And we had one of our classes, we've been doing this for, I was going to say, about ten years.
	And so those people that have been doing it for ten years just recently made a bowie.
	So they took it all the way through, made their own bowie.
	And they, you know, it's a once a lifetime experience.
	They get to customize it.
	And it really brings back this love for crafting, for creating.
	It's just American.
	You know, you just feel you you know you just have to create something with your hands that that they have now that they can pass on to the family said hey i made this i would love to do that if if if i'm ever out in arizona again i'd love to stop by but and you're gonna laugh but the closest i get to anything like this and it's it's so horrible it's it's crude but you know i have a i have a shredder on my ranch as an implement for a skid steer and this shredder swings these these ar
	500 steel um can't really quite call them blades they're they're like masses with a bit of edge.
	Yeah, like a little chiseled edge on it, yeah.
	Yeah, it's a chiseled edge.
	And, you know, eventually you hit enough rocks, which I do.
	And then you gotta, what do you, what do I do?
	I pick up like a Milwaukee hand grinder, like a, like a battery powered hand grinder, and, you know, I'm going at this thing.
	And I'm like, it's, of course, it's going to look like crap.
	I'm just trying to get all the pits out of it, so it still has some kind of edge.
	Like, that's as close as I get to this.
	But you know what?
	That's, that's awesome.
	Yeah, we could use that.
	You know, because you actually, you know, there's an idea behind that.
	Like, even though using a hand grinder is free, there's an idea.
	Like, I gotta get a point.
	Yeah.
	You have to control this so it doesn't look too crazy or funky.
	And you know, you know, you and that's actually we can work with that because there's hand to eye coordination.
	There is a thought process.
	You're like, hey, you know I need to do this and I can't go too crazy on this.
	And so, um, yeah, that's really useful, just doing something with your hands.
	Well, and also like, how do I hold this grinder so the sparks don't fly in my face?
	Right?
	That's kind of a basic question.
	You figure that out really quickly, by the way.
	Oh, let's and how do I not throw sparks on dry grass?
	Um, you know, things like that.
	It's like survival skills.
	You know, and that translates really well in the shop because we get the same things.
	We're some guys just like grind this blade.
	There's sparks hitting him in the face.
	And, you know, there's all kinds of things going on.
	Uh, we'll also get, um, oh, I need, you know, we've had little fires here and there, which has been pretty crazy.
	Um, You know, some guy was using like a little rag to wipe his blade down and he left it right next to the grinder and it set on fire.
	So, oh yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, you know, it's just common sense.
	You learn these things and you gain a skill.
	Yeah, totally.
	And it reminds me too, I saw a video yesterday of a guy who's supposed to be a chainsaw expert of how to fell trees.
	And he's out there with this, looks like a 20 inch chainsaw blade with no eye protection, shorts and tennis shoes going at this tree.
	And I'm like, dude, like your lifespan, if there were a polymarket bet on how long you live, I'll, you know, I'm betting against you.
	Because that seems incredibly dangerous what you're doing.
	That guy is just trying to win a Darwin Award there.
	Yeah.
	Clearly.
	Clearly, but anyway, all jokes aside, you're in the business of making knives and blades and machetes or hatchets, I don't know, smaller versions, different sizes.
	You've got all of this available.
	And again, this is what's new, folks.
	This is the utility knife for the kitchen.
	And it's, again, it's a magna cut blade.
	It's a G10 handle.
	And we've also got a new color.
	We've got blue handles available now for the chef's knife.
	So blue is available now just for the Labor Day sale.
	And these are pre-order only.
	They're going to be made as you order them and shipped out to you.
	Just go to healthrangerstore dot com slash labor day.
	Okay.
	So John Roy, what's what's cooking?
	What's next?
	Because I know you're always playing around with new ideas.
	What's coming up or that you can talk about?
	Yeah.
	So there's there's quite a bit of things.
	First off, I want to say that all those knives are limited to run.
	So that blue handle is a limited to run handle.
	Once they sell out, that's it.
	The envisioned will match the handles of the previous ones and you can still get another handle to match.
	your sets so it really complements the Hearthfires, which is your chef's knife, which is great for chopping, great for in the kitchen, it's your typical kitchen knife.
	And now you got your beet slicer, your utility knife.
	So they really complement each other really well and it's all limited, you know, limited runs.
	Now for our new stuff, we're working on so we have a couple of ideas and we've been working on it.
	So number one is steak knives.
	So getting the steak knife.
	So we're thinking of two ideas here.
	One is steak knife sets and then a j gentleman's steak knife.
	So it used to be like back then, you know, you would have your own steak knife and you would go to a restaurant or a cigar club or any of these gentlemanly things.
	And it was a tradition and it meant a lot.
	It was like almost a status symbol, I have my steak knife and that was custom made for me.
	They would pass it on.
	It was a tradition that we've kind of lost and now we are working to bring that back because again, this idea of ownership, this idea of heritage, this idea of having something that is unique and that you can take and that is, you know, bringing back a lot of American value.
	So we have two ideas, steak knife sets and the really high-end custom steak knives, and we're working on this cool Damascus that we might be using in those where they are folded steel like Damascus steel made in America with copper in it since we're the copper state.
	So we'll have copper inlays into that Damascus.
	Wow.
	So we're really working on a lot of cool stuff.
	Really moving the industry forward and just, you know, some really awesome cutlery.
	Will it have then a special carry case so you can easily bring it with you in your pocket?
	Yes.
	So we're working on two designs.
	So we're going to make the fixed blade version first with a really nice carrying case that you can take in so it looks really cool and you can put it in your pocket.
	And number two is down the road working with our CNC team getting a steak knife folder.
	Oh, whoa.
	So you can open that up and take it in and then you can carry it anywhere and it's going to be a great great conversation piece and it's going to be very unique.
	So starting a whole trend, you know, just like with the shaving coming back, you know, and going back to the traditional razor blades and, you know, masculinity, American masculinity and bringing back these traditions.
	The folders get really mechanically complicated, don't they?
	I mean, not only does it have to fold, but it has to lock.
	And then you have to figure out the locking mechanism.
	You know, is it a liner locker or what?
	So I noticed, I mean, you don't typically do that folders.
	No, we don't.
	I mean, we have a lot of experience with folders.
	We've made folders over the years, a lot of them handmade.
	And so these handmade folders, um, they're just time consuming.
	And so we are now machining.
	So using our machines, we're coming over these folders that will be, you know, steak knife folders.
	And we're looking at a lockback system.
	So that way, it locks out really good.
	Because I mean, these are not, you know, survival folders.
	These are not, you know, self-defense folders or these are steak knife folders.
	So they'll lock back and that way you can eat it with your steak.
	It's going to be something really different, very unique, and using some really high material.
	This is going to be different than a steak knife set, and those are going to be really nice.
	But this is we're talking about American forged Damascus with copper inlay.
	Wow.
	So it's going to be very unique, and it's really going to help the person to, I mean, we'll even work out something where they can pick patterns and personalize it a little bit.
	But, you know, that's something that we're working down the line that we want to work out with you guys and see what's coming.
	You know, there's there's such a trend happening now where people are getting back to reality more.
	So because we've lived in this era of financialism.
	of financialization and virtualization and everything's AI now and everything's, you know, make believe or deep fakes, you know, whatever.
	The thing I love about your knives is they are real tools.
	I mean, you can't get more real, you know, than this, to hold this steel in your hand and to be able to use it and to get to accomplish something, get something done.
	with this that you need to make happen.
	There's no replacement for that.
	Like, I can't go to ChatGPT, you know, and tell me what it feels like to have a good quality knife and get something done.
	It doesn't count.
	Like, and that's why these have intrinsic value that lasts generations, because it's real.
	It's not virtual.
	And even if the whole freaking system collapses and the internet stops working and all your crypto goes to hell, you can still cut potatoes and vegetables and steak.
	You know what I'm saying?
	It's a return to reality.
	Yeah, it's tangible.
	And because it's tangible and you can feel it and you can touch it.
	And not only that, but because we use top-notch materials, those materials are actually hard to find.
	It's not easy to get Magna-Can.
	And that's why the value and the price is just going up, up, up, up, up and up.
	So that your return on investment is going to last a long time.
	We have people that have bought some of our original Dawson's skinny knives, you know, just, or even original folders.
	You know, they must have paid like $50.
	Today, they're worth $1,000.
	Wow.
	And so it's just, yeah.
	And, you know, it's intrinsic value.
	And so that's something, when you have something American-made that is limited, people want it.
	I mean, we don't do cutlery knives a lot.
	So we've had so many people want it.
	And that's why we partnered with.
	with you and made them exclusive through you.
	So this is the only place where they can get it.
	Same thing with the Escape from LA.
	Same thing with the Recon.
	You know, all these guys that we worked with you for survival knives and cutlery is all limited and exclusive and the value that you're getting for it is, is amazing already.
	And you're going to have that for generations.
	And that's our whole goal, we're not going to compromise.
	I'm right there with you, John Roy.
	When are we going to get some more Tomahawks available?
	I mean, this is badass.
	This is just the ultimate.
	I mean, look at what's on this end, folks.
	Oh yeah.
	And the cutouts here for the weight and balance the G ten handle, the I mean, look at the curve here.
	So when you grip it here, you are not going to slip off.
	You know, you you have a very secure grip.
	The length is just right for leverage.
	This, this is such a multi use tool.
	But right now, I would imagine today, this, this has to be like over a thousand dollars, you know?
	Oh yeah.
	Right now, just to make that on MagnaCut, it's going to be about 1200 to 1500 dollars.
	I would imagine.
	And it takes a lot of steel and it's very unique.
	And so what we're doing is we're coming out with a ProCut version.
	Okay.
	So we're working out the ProCut version.
	Well, I mean, you'll have to pay tariy tariffs on Procut.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	That's a huge plus.
	If you get a Procut version of this, we'll carry it, of course.
	What would that bring the price down to?
	Oh my gosh.
	Just let me tell you, this is what tariffs and taxes and French inflation does to you.
	Something like that that's in Procut will probably be like 600 to 700.
	So like half the price.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it's not stainless, but we have so many different ways to work around that.
	That is the disadvantage.
	It's not stainless, but that's why we've been testing.
	We found some good FDA approved, environmentally safe, just ceramic spray that you can put on it that is not teflon or anything like that.
	And that works really good.
	Or we also have experimented with a type of beeswax all natural coating on there that works really well.
	So we've been experimenting with this for a while, but that is the one disadvantage.
	Procut is not stainless, but we have found right now we're going through a heavy monsoon up here in Arizona.
	So every day it's raining and we've just left them out there.
	So for like two weeks.
	I mean, it's amazing.
	We've gotten so much rain and no rust.ing so far.
	You know, what I use on my ranch all the time is a lanolin spray.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, talk about rust proofing.
	And, you know, it's extracted from sheep's wool.
	And lanolin is, I mean, it's amazing.
	It just rust proofs everything.
	Like if I, let's say, if I change the battery on one of my, you know, pieces of equipment, let's say, change a skid steer battery.
	And you know how those terminals are always rusted?
	All right.
	So whenever I change a battery and I put the terminals back on, I spray that sucker down with lanolin, like all over.
	where it's all gummy, gummed up.
	And then, you know, two years later, I'm back to change that battery.
	Guess what?
	No rust.
	Yeah.
	So.
	You know what?
	That's the thing, it's going back to these ways that we've already solved these problems.
	You know, we've just forgotten.
	We've just forgotten the solutions and, you know, Lanolin, yeah, that's an excellent idea.
	And that works really good.
	See, that's the thing.
	Our, our, our fathers, you know, our grandpa's, they've already solved all this stuff.
	And that's why we have to get back to America and America made.
	See, today, everything in this modern world is, uh, made.
	And so that means that you got things that are breaking down.
	It's based on that mentality.
	And then you don't have anything that lasts.
	And that's why the knowledge of how to take care of things is becoming lost.
	Yeah, that's well said.
	And I think people are going to be forced to bring that knowledge back.
	Because now you can't afford to buy a new appliance every year.
	You're going to have to make this one work.
	And I've seen people online saying things like, hey, will somebody just start a company to make appliances like they were made in the 1970s?
	We don't want all these silly features.
	We don't want smart anything.
	We want it to just freaking work.
	Like, turn the knobs, press the button.
	It's got a buzzer, whatever.
	It just needs to wash the clothes.
	It doesn't need to go on the internet and, you know, run queries or whatever.
	I just wanted to wash my freaking underwear.
	So, like, someone should launch a company like that.
	Hey, there is one.
	Actually, there is one.
	And we researched it because we were sick and tired of that with our laundry.
	Yeah.
	And they're called, yeah, Speed Queen.
	Speed Queen.
	Speed Queen.
	That is the company Speed Queen.
	They've been around since 1900s.
	Yeah, that's an old brand.
	Yeah.
	It's an old brand.
	It's been all American made.
	I mean, it's a lot.
	I mean, it's like, you know, $3,000.
	But I mean, you only buy one and they actually have a 10-year warranty.
	And it's a great appliance, very basic, but it works and everyone swears by it.
	Huh?
	Well, I'll keep that in mind.
	Because the same thing is true with a fridge.
	Like, I don't need a fridge to, like, monitor when I'm out of something.
	It's like, I've got eyes on it.
	I can see it.
	Come on.
	Yeah.
	I mean, how do we live this long without getting an email reminder, you know, that your milk is out or whatever?
	It's insane.
	Yeah, grandma didn't need freaking email reminders, she had it all figured out anyway.
	You know what?
	She smelt the milk.
	Okay, that's so good.
	Yeah, right.
	You look at the container, whatever.
	Not, I don't even have milk in my fridge anyway.
	It doesn't matter.
	I've got like avocados and stuff.
	Okay, so let me ask you this.
	You moved to a new facility.
	What was it like two years ago or something?
	Yes, that is correct.
	We're in a 12,000 square foot facility.
	Okay.
	And you're in Arizona, and I remember you had, there were a lot of challenges getting all the power infrastructure in place because you use these CNC machines, which are very power hungry.
	How has the infrastructure been working for you now in terms of your Arizona location power, you know, operations?
	I would say right now we're just about to fire on all cylinders.
	And so a lot of innovations, a lot of things, machines are online.
	I just got done upgrading machines, so we literally pulled everything out of a machine and just rebuilt it the way we wanted it.
	And so it works really good now.
	So I'm finalizing that using my engineering degree on that one, but it's not fun, but it's it's it's great.
	And so you know what's really cool?
	I think the coolest thing is.
	seeing my sons and my nieces and my nephews who are third generation, you know, Gen Zers, and I don't even know what's the one below them, but really take to wanting to machine to be responsible to be needed.
	I think that's a really big thing.
	And like they used to be on their phones a lot.
	They used to be on computers.
	And now that we have them in the business working and doing their own things and teaching them how to be responsible.
	How to have discipline, which is freedom, you know, and showing them, you know, what they can accomplish, what they're able to produce, how to create.
	I'll tell you what, it's been amazing experiences.
	They don't even touch their phones.
	They're committed to this company.
	I've seen amazing things that they have done, innovated.
	And another thing is being fiscally responsible.
	My son just saved up and bought himself a car.
	And so, you know, he just saved all his money from working and just didn't blow it all on a bunch of crud and just bought himself a car.
	Wow.
	I think the generation they need hands on experience.
	Yeah.
	Because younger people, I mean, like think of the way that you and I grew up, we were hands on.
	I mean, when I was growing up, we didn't have the internet.
	We didn't, you know, we didn't, we didn't have mobile phones at all.
	We were climbing trees and building forts or whatever.
	You know, and that's, you're absolutely right, Mike.
	I mean, we had dial up internet, which was ridiculous.
	And so no one used that.
	You know, and so you look at it, we had to use our brains.
	We actually had to come up with the facts.
	We didn't, we couldn't go to chat GPT.
	We couldn't go to Google.
	We, we actually had to know it and we had to retain it and we actually had to use our memoryories.
	I actually had to remember phone numbers and remember where my friends lived.
	I didn't have to go on my phone and see, hey, where my friend lived?
	Yeah.
	No, I actually had to know and how to get back home.
	And I'm starting to see this.
	This generation is hungry to be needed, not to be cast away.
	And I think everyone's betting against them because, you know, they're like, well, they're worthless, they got all this stuff.
	But what you're really seeing, and you're starting to see it more and more, is a rejection of all this technology, all this assistance.
	This is what we're seeing is what we what they're calling normalizing.
	People just want a family.
	They want a good job, they want to go to church, they want to be responsible.
	So you're seeing this new pushback that is now, I guess, counter culture to what's been going on.
	Well, and there's also going to be a human labor counter culture against robotic labor.
	And John Roy, you're in an industry that's very uniquely positioned where robots will never be able to do the level of craftsmanship that you've described.
	Number one, they just don't even have the sensors to get the feedback of what they're feeling when they're us going to be well insulated from robotic automation on that side.
	You're using CNC machines just to do the, just cutting out the steel plates, which makes total sense.
	That's like, you know, using a combustion engine, you know, having a pickup truck to drive.
	I get that.
	But so many of today's youth are going to find that their skills, if they're restocking shelves at a grocery store or they're working in a fulfillment center, that's going to be obsolete.
	And they don't have, see, if your only skill is like, oh, I can pick up stuff because I have opposable thumbs and fingers in a fulfillment center, like that's going to be replaced so quickly.
	But the skills that you're teaching youth are skills that go so far beyond that, that's a lifetime asset that can never be replaced by a robot.
	What are your thoughts on what this generation or the young generation is going to be facing in terms of being made obsolete by automation?
	It's coming.
	I see it in a lot of things.
	I deal with a lot of trades, especially with the education, and I deal with a lot of people.
	Titans of CNC is one of them.
	He's trying to get education in CNC.
	We see, I mean, there's AI even working its way into programming.
	I mean, they could do eighty percent of the CAM design.
	You know, you just tell it what you want and it'll do eighty percent.
	You still have to check it now, but it's learning.
	I just see it across the board and everything.
	And the idea is, I had a conversation.
	I said, if you want to be free, if you want freedom, and that's what America is all about.
	And heck, that's what Christianity is all about.
	So, all about freedom.
	But, in order to have freedom, you have to have discipline and discipline of the mind.
	You have to have a moral standard.
	You have to have accountability and you have to have responsibility.
	And if you can do those four things, then you can be free.
	Nobody's going to care what you do as long as you have those four things.
	It's like driving a car.
	If you have those four things, you can drive from LA all the way to New York.
	But if you decide to go drinking and driving or you decide to, you know, smoke pot or just go crazy on the road because you feel like it, you're not going to get very far.
	And then there goes your freedom.
	Then they care.
	I'm teaching the youth, and we've been talking about this, is that teaching the youth to think.
	You should be able to do all these skills and learn one thing.
	You should be able to start a business.
	Because if you can have a business, then you are at your choice of what you're going to do for your business.
	So you can automate or you can do this, but you have the knowledge.
	You have the understanding of how to manage your money.
	You have the moral standard of what you're going to do with the people because people are very precious.
	And so you have to take it to the next level and you're going to have to be there.
	The people who want to be employees, the people who don't want to think, they want to go to chat GPT for everything.
	Then what they're saying is, I am.
	taking away My ability to have accountability for anything, and I'm giving it to this machine because I'm using that machine or that software chat GPT to do everything for me, to solve all my problems.
	Well, then the logical next step is you're the middleman.
	That's what companies are doing, and so they're like, you're just the middleman.
	You're not thinking, you're not innovating, you're just collecting a paycheck.
	And so this is where we're coming to a crossroads.
	We either have two choices.
	Number one, we train our youth to think.
	It's not going to be easy.
	People say, well, I can't reach out and communicate.
	Well, yeah, you can.
	You know what?
	You teach them respect.
	to be a man.
	You show them what it means to be a man or a woman.
	They hunger for that.
	You tell them that, you know what, this food is better if you make it from scratch, from real ingredients, than going over here and buying this prepackaged stuff.
	This is easy, right?
	But no, it's not.
	And the most popular thing I tell the kids is, choose your heart.
	Life is hard.
	It's going to be very hard.
	If you want to have an education and you want to be free and you want to have a future, you're going to have to work really hard and it's going to be very difficult.
	It's going to be uncomfortable.
	You're going to have to expect failure and overcome it.
	That's one type of hard, but it benefits everyone around you.
	Now, allowing yourself to have chat, chat, GPT, and just getting convenience food, and just ignoring the labels and saying, That doesn't matter to me, that's going to be hard too, because you're going to lose your job.
	You're going to have to scrape by.
	You're going to have health problems.
	You're going to have to deal with a lot of things in life.
	You probably have a broken family or no family at all, and that's going to be hard on you.
	And so, what else do you want to do?
	It's hard.
	Something else is happening that's right along the lines of what you were saying.
	Remember five years ago, the message to youth was learn to code.
	Learn to code.
	And society looked down upon the more physical jobs like knife making.
	And what was celebrated was this digital space, learn to code.
	Be a programmer and the future is yours.
	Well, guess what?
	Today, it's been flipped completely upside down.
	There are computer science graduates.
	can't find jobs except working at Starbucks.
	I use AI to write code.
	And it does it well.
	And it does it perfectly.
	And you don't like learning to code will not give you a future now, not now, because the machines can code better than you.
	The machines can code better than anybody.
	But what you do, John Roy, and what you teach, what your family does, the machines will never be better than humans at doing that.
	So the whole thing has been flipped upside down.
	And the youth that learned a skill, and it could be plumbing.
	electrician, HVAC specialist, right?
	These jobs are not going to be easily replaced or even ever fully replaced by robotics.
	Think about that.
	So the trades, the skills are the assets at this point.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And you know, Mikey, you hit the nail on the head and that's perfectly set because you look at this life and they're telling you that those trades back then, you know, there was no future.
	And they were trying to fill in the ranks.
	Illegal immigration and a lot of that stuff.
	True.
	And now today we realize that AI is taking over all this coding.
	And I just like told you, even CAM coding, I mean, that's eighty percent, you know, accurate and eventually it's going to get to 100.
	There comes a choice.
	I'm a Christian and there comes a choice.
	Where am I going to seek knowledge?
	Where is my knowledge going to come from?
	There's books.
	I read books.
	There's a lot of studying.
	But I like to get that up here and not just have some AI.
	It's either A, I'm going to have the AI do everything for me, or B, I'm going to trust in my God.
	Because you know what?
	He created everything.
	So I think his knowledge of everything is a lot better.
	So I'd rather go and search through Jesus Christ than search through AI.
	And so far that has helped.
	That's a lot of my inspiration, a lot of these ideas, designs, a lot of these processes, you know, teaching people to be independent and reliant.
	Because if you're reliant on ChatGPT, eventually you're going to become a slave to it.
	Anything that you're reliant on, you know, that's going to be your life.
	And they actually have studies, your brain just entrophies pretty bad.
	And it takes a long time to get out of that.
	And that's only for a little bit of use of ChatGPT.
	So we have a choice.
	And that was an interesting concatenation of atrophy and entropy.
	But both are true, though.
	You're exactly right.
	Because it becomes like chaos when you don't train your brain to think in a rational, linear, goal-oriented manner.
	Like, I need to achieve this.
	How do I get that done?
	And that's why I love what you do, John Roy, and I love what you're doing.
	Your products here, let me just mention this again.
	This is what's available now during the Labor Day sale.
	Okay.
	So these are the new utility knives, great for the kitchen.

	the other knives, while we still have inventory, they're still at the lower price before the magnet cut price increase kicks in, which will be dramatic.

	So you're just not going to get anything like this anywhere else in the world.
	So thank you for supporting us and for supporting the Dawson Knife Company.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, the founder of Brighton and Natural News.com.
	Take care, everybody.
	Take care, everybody.
	Brand new at the Health Ranger store and available only in a limited run, we now have a new utility knife from the Dawson Knife Company.
	This is a magna cut stainless alloy combined with a G10 handle.
	This will last multiple generations.
	This is an extremely high quality made in America knife for the kitchen.
	It will slice through vegetables and meats and bones.
	It holds an edge.
	It has a very high Rockwell hardness.
	And this is brought to us in a limited supply run.
	There are only 100 sets of these available or 100 units during our Labor Day sale at healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	There are a couple of different handle colors.
	Here's the other one that you can choose if you wish.
	But the knife geometry is exactly the same.
	And I don't know if you can see a little bit.
	It's got a bit of a thumb indentation right up here.
	And it is, of course, magna cut steel, which means that the price of this is going to go up.
	significantly in the coming months because of tariffs and the fact that Magna Cut now has to be sourced outside the United States where it used to come from, Syracuse, New York.
	At the same time, we have the chef's knife, which has been very popular.
	And you can see this is more of a hefty knife.
	really great in the kitchen everybody loves the ergonomics i don't know if you can see even the shape of the handle how it fits in the hand the ergonomics are just outstanding people say it's like slicing through butter with a hot knife you know i guess that's a cliche but that's what people say about this knife because of the incredible edge that I'm not going to run my finger across.
	At least not that way, not linearly.
	Oh, woo, that is very sharp.
	Keep all your fingers, folks.
	You will need them in order to write prompts for the AI engines.
	In the meantime, you can get all these knives.
	Oh, this is available with a blue handle on this limited run during our Labor Day event, which ends September 1st at midnight.
	You can find all of these at healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	No space or anything in that term, just healthrangerstore.com slash Labor Day.
	And if you want to check out the other Dawson knives that we have because we've partnered with Dawson.
