	Alright, welcome to Brighton Broadcast News for Wednesday, October 15th, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	As always, I thank you for joining me today.
	And we are in the midst of rolling out incredible new tools, uh platforms, technology for you.
	And if you missed yesterday's announcement, I announced the rolling out of our free downloadable Enoch uh AI model that is just outstanding.
	It's outstanding.
	People keep texting me of how great it is, and they're just so astonished.
	It's just the best thing they've ever seen.
	And that's no exaggeration.
	You'll see when you use it.
	You're like, no way, this is amazing.
	Anyway, uh it's it's downloadable, it's free.
	You can use it locally, and you can find it at bright you.ai.
	That's the word bright, followed by the letter U.ai.
	Bright U.A. And click on downloads if you want to download the model, or if you want to use the model that we are hosting, which is also free, then you can just start entering your prompts there, and you can have it do whatever you want involving text generation.
	So uh we announced that.
	And everybody's loving it.
	We also announced earlier the new censored.news website.
	Now, it has been vastly more popular than we anticipated, and we've had some slowness of the site.
	I am addressing that, and it should be faster as of today.
	It should be loading more successfully.
	And the very cool thing about sensor.news is it's producing an audio file about every half an hour that you can click play there and it will read you the all like a script of the top news trends that are in these categories of health freedom and you know liberty and what's happening in technology and internationally, even the Middle East, etc.
	And this voice narration is regenerated with a brand new script every 30 minutes or so based on new news that's showing up.
	And we spider about 77 websites right now in order to get that.
	And these are censored websites, all independent media sites.
	And you can see the list of sites by going to our domain, censored.news.
	So check that out.
	It's another free tool.
	It's extremely powerful, and it's it's a major time saver.
	I'm playing the audio now.
	First thing when I wake up in the morning, I go to sensor.news and I click play, and I let it play the audio and tell me what's happening.
	So very good.
	Very good tool.
	Anyway, we are facing some scaling issues on that site, and we're just working out the bug.
	So if you go there and it doesn't load up, don't worry about it.
	Just try it again later.
	We are, you know, we're on the case with that.
	The bright you.ai uh engine, our language model engine is doing great.
	And it has uh specialty coaches there that you can use.
	There's a wellness coach, a financial coach, and an ingredients analyzer.
	And if you just go to bright you.ai and scroll down a little bit on the homepage, you'll see those tools, the two coaches and an analyzer.
	Now, I've got a special message to everybody in alternative media, and what I'm about to play for you in this special report coming up soon is uh a message to all the alternative media writers, publishers, influencers, etc.
	about why everybody needs this tool, which is free to 10x their productivity.
	So it's no longer enough to just work harder.
	I mean, I I I've worked hard for decades, and yeah, that that's that's great.
	But now you have to work smarter, and by smarter means you've got to bring in cognition from AI models to help amplify your your message or you know, your your output, amplify your mission.
	What are you doing here on planet Earth in this lifetime?
	What are you trying to achieve?
	Well, whatever it is, I'm quite certain that this language model, this AI engine can help you do that better.
	And not using it means you're absolutely uh missing out.
	Uh And using it costs you nothing.
	So hey, what's to lose?
	You know, it's not like I'm out there saying, hey, everybody, buy my new thing.
	It's $10,000.
	No.
	It's I mean, that might actually work even better for some people, because like they don't value it unless they have to pay dearly for it, but that's not my model.
	I say, hey, everybody use this because it's worth, you know, it's worth millions of dollars to you and it costs you nothing.
	It helps you achieve your life's mission.
	Whatever that is, it probably involves communication.
	It probably involves some kind of written text, either a web page, a letter, an email, an article, uh summarizing something, translating something, uh, expanding bullet point ideas into uh more text, generating executive reports, etc.
	All of those things can be done at no cost now with our engine that you can download free and use it locally on your computer.
	It costs you nothing but the electricity that's running your computer.
	That's it.
	Never before in history has this kind of opportunity ever existed.
	So, I mean, really, think about all the world's knowledge at your fingertips at zero cost.
	Wow.
	I mean, that's really something.
	So I'll play that special report coming up for you pretty soon.
	First, I have another report that is based on something happening that's just absolutely shocking about U.S. manufacturing executives visiting China and absolutely freaking out about how far ahead China is compared to the United States.
	And there's a story on this in the telegraph called Western Executives Who Visit China Are Coming Back Terrified.
	That's an interesting descriptor.
	Terrified?
	They're coming back terrified?
	Like, what did they see?
	Well, we're gonna find out, so we're gonna jump into that special report right now.
	Here we go.
	All right, the Telegraph is now reporting something really interesting.
	Welcome to this special report.
	I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, the founder of Brighton and Natural News.com.
	The telegraph's headline says, quote, Western executives who visit China are coming back terrified.
	Robotics has catapulted Beijing into a dominant position in many industries.
	So the chief executive officer of Ford, you know, the car company, visited China.
	It's Jim Farley.
	It says that he was left astonished by the technical innovations being packed into Chinese cars from self-driving software to facial recognition.
	And he said, quote, their cost and the quality of their vehicles is far superior to what I see in the West.
	Yeah, he means in America.
	And quote, it's the most humbling thing I've ever seen.
	We are in a global competition with China, he says, and it's not just EVs.
	If we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford.
	Well, I I'm gonna tell you that Ford has no future.
	I'm gonna say it right here.
	This is my prediction.
	Ford collapses.
	And you know why?
	You know why Ford collapses?
	I've owned Fords in the past, and they are horrible vehicles.
	They suck.
	Everything sucks about Fords.
	The ergonomics suck.
	The blinkers suck somehow.
	The seats, the way the seats are shaped with the headrest absolutely sucks.
	The reliability sucks, you know, the ergonomics, the display, everything sucks about it.
	And the reason is because, well, a lot of American companies have gotten really, really lazy and they're run by people that just aren't very bright.
	And America has coasted for a long time on this global dominance position, you know, with dollar hegemony.
	And post-World War II, America was the innovator of the world.
	We invented everything.
	Well, not everything, but a lot of the modern things.
	You know, we were the dominant position of inventing things.
	Uh, that's no longer the case.
	The typical American worker today that might work at a Ford factory is obese, is diseased, has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, um, you know, high blood sugar, whatever.
	Like a walking heart attack victim.
	Uh The people are incredibly unhealthy, and part of that is because, of course, big tech and big government have censored people like me, who have uh for 25 years I've been trying to teach America how to be healthy, how to choose healthier foods and avoid toxic ingredients and get off toxic medications and actually consume superfoods and nutrients that prevent diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and so on.
	But I've been systematically censored by every mainstream platform in America.
	Uh I was even censored by the former CEO of Susan of YouTube called Susan Wajicki.
	Uh she had my channel censored on YouTube when I was warning about vaccines, and then she died after taking vaccines.
	So censorship has a price, you know, censorship has repercussions.
	Sometimes censorship kills in that case.
	But even when it doesn't kill people, censorship results in the American people not having access to good faith information that can help them be healthier.
	And so the American workforce, by and large, I don't mean every single person, but by and large, the American workforce and also the U.S. military is made up of just really overweight, obese people with impaired cognitive function who are mass medicated and frankly, largely incompetent and incapable of competing with workers in other countries.
	Especially China.
	But also you can say that about compared to Russia, etc.
	So the typical US factory worker is just not capable anymore.
	And again, a lot of that comes back to vaccine damage, mass medications, censorship of information about nutrition and so on.
	So as a country, America has doomed itself.
	It has doomed its manufacturing companies to be populated with people who can't think, can't work, and can barely stand on their feet.
	Same thing in the military.
	They can't run, they can't carry a pack, they can't fight.
	You know, most of them.
	The U.S. military is a joke internationally.
	Every country looks at the U.S. military is like yeah, all these people are going to collapse when they just run for cover the very first time.
	100-yard dash and they have heart attacks because they're you know living on whoppers and junk food.
	Right?
	I mean, I know this is harsh for some people to hear.
	Uh I love America.
	I love my country.
	That's why I tried to help.
	For 25 years, I tried to help save America.
	But the country chose to censor all of my information and to sideline my voices, which is why I had to build my own platforms like Brighton.com and now bright you.ai, which bypasses all censorship and brings you the truth about nutrition and superfoods and disease prevention and so on.
	But as a country, the United States of America decided to silence the voices of truth and reason and instead to promote processed junk food and big pharma and false government narratives through the treasonous actors like Anthony Fauci pushing toxic deadly vaccines, and even President Trump pushing Operation Warp Speed, which damaged tens of millions of Americans, cause you know, irreversible disabilities and deaths, mass deaths.
	At least 1.5 million Americans died from the vaccines, and those people, being that they're dead, cannot work at Ford.
	Well, possibly Ford could put dead people on the payroll, and it might not make any difference.
	But I think it would be hard to be dead and be on the Ford payroll for more than six months, let's just say.
	So Ford is facing the same problem that every American manufacturer is facing, including military manufacturers, ammunition makers or factories that make anything in America.
	It's that the quality of the workers is horrific.
	And not only are they suffering from health conditions by and large, but they also just don't want to work.
	There's something about the Western culture.
	It's a culture of privilege.
	It's a culture of thinking, you know, we shouldn't have to be here.
	We shouldn't have to work.
	You know, work is for people in India or China or Nigeria, for God's sake, or Bangladesh.
	We don't work.
	We're We consume.
	We're Americans.
	We buy shit and eat shit.
	We don't make stuff.
	I mean, for God's sake, we're Americans.
	We drink beer and watch football and take medications.
	We don't actually invent anything useful anymore, right?
	Because our grandparents did that, but the current generation hardly ever does that.
	They're too busy on their iPhones creating clickbait and trying to get likes from people that they don't know who don't even like them.
	Now, China has top-notch EV car manufacturers like uh BYD and uh CADEL, CATL.
	These companies make incredibly good cars, like sedan style cars, a little hatchback, that's better than a Tesla.
	It's got better ergonomics, it's got better technology, it's got better battery life and range and everything.
	What's the cost in China?
	It's under $9,000.
	That same car in America would be like 60 to 70,000.
	US companies can't even make it for the cost that it's sold for in China.
	China has become the master of manufacturing for our world.
	Which is a position the US held after World War II, but no longer.
	China has that position now, and frankly, nobody in the world can compete with China for manufacturing at scale.
	Nobody.
	It's not even close anymore.
	Even the supply chains don't exist in America to even try to manufacture the way China does.
	This same article from The Telegraph quotes Andrew Forrest, an Australian billionaire, an Australian billionaire, He's the guy that runs the mining giant called Fortescue, or yeah, Fortescue, is that it?
	Which is investing in green energy.
	Quote, he says his trips to China convinced him to abandon his company's attempts to manufacture EV power trains in-house.
	He says, quote, I can take you to factories in China now where you'll basically be alongside a big conveyor, and the machines come out of the floor and begin to assemble parts, and you're walking alongside this conveyor, and after about 800, 900 meters, a truck drives out.
	There are no people.
	Everything is robotic.
	Everything is robotic.
	This is the assembly line concept, but fully automated with robots.
	Greg Jackson, the boss of British energy supplier Octopus.
	Says, quote, we visited a dark factory producing some astronomical number of mobile phones.
	Dark factories means that the robots do all the work, so it's kind of like a black box.
	And it just spits out the product, right?
	He says, quote, the process was so heavily automated that there were no workers on the manufacturing side.
	Just a small number of people who were there to ensure the plant was working.
	You get this sense of change where China's competitiveness has gone from being about government subsidies and low wages to a tremendous number of highly skilled, educated engineers who are innovating like mad.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Innovating like mad.
	You don't see much innovation in America any longer, do you?
	And you don't see people who are motivated for the most part.
	There are a few of us, like probably you listening to this, and of course I'm motivated, obviously.
	And I know people that are, you know, one in a million kind of entrepreneurs and leaders and so on.
	But by and large, you don't see a lot of innovation in America.
	What you see is airports that look like you just visited a third world country.
	You know, you see bridges that can't even be rebuilt after they crumble.
	You see roads full of potholes.
	You see America's infrastructure crumbling, actually.
	And you see students graduating from high school who still can't read.
	And then more students coming out of college who are woke idiots who have been indoctrinated with left-wing wokism and who have no skills whatsoever and no knowledge about reality.
	They've been indoctrinated and they've got Degrees and sometimes PhDs in artificial constructs of lunacy, such as you know, transgenderism or what have you.
	They have zero skills that are applicable to the real world.
	A robot makes them obsolete instantly.
	Because, again, these these humans coming out of universities, they can't do anything.
	Now, there are exceptions to this.
	Obviously, there are still some good programs and some good business programs and MBA programs, etc.
	Of business schools around the country that are actually up to speed with tech.
	You know, they're they're teaching their students how to use technology.
	I mean, honestly, uh, MIT is doing a lot of that.
	I know in Texas, Rice, uh, the you know, the Rice University.
	Yeah, they they've got a really good MBA program that's teaching people how to how to write code using vibe coding and things like that.
	And there are schools in California that that are on the cutting edge as well, and other places.
	But by and large, most universities are churning out woke idiots who have uh no applicability in the job market.
	So China is automating everything, and China is producing higher quality goods at lower cost than the United States, and that's batteries.
	The Catal company, CATL, has now introduced a sodium ion battery that's just absolutely revolutionary.
	It lasts so long that oh, and it doesn't explode, it doesn't burn like lithium ion.
	But it lasts so long, it lasts like five times longer than lithium at half the cost or less.
	It lasts so long that if you buy an EV with their sodium ion battery pack in it, the battery pack will outlast the car by a long shot.
	The car will be trashed and junked one day, you know, when you put 200,000 miles on, and you'll pull the battery pack out of that, and you'll transfer that battery pack to your next car because that battery pack is good for a million miles.
	It's good for five cars, okay.
	China is the only place where that technology exists.
	There was a sodium ion plant, well, a company in the United States called Natron Energy.
	I talked about them about a year ago.
	I was hoping to buy products from them.
	They were based out of Minnesota, I believe, and they were scheduled to start construction on a 1.4 billion dollar manufacturing facility.
	I think that was in was it Tennessee where they were going to build that.
	And then they went bankrupt.
	They went bankrupt even though they had millions of dollars in pre-orders.
	They went bankrupt.
	Why?
	Because you can't manufacture in America.
	You can't.
	I mean, you now the military can because they're paying insane prices and there's all kinds of waste and fraud in the military-industrial complex.
	But you can't make anything in America that competes with China, especially not EVs.
	So I repeat my prediction.
	Ford is toast.
	Ford is toast.
	Okay.
	Goodbye, Ford.
	You know, good riddance, man.
	What a horrible company.
	A bunch of woke idiots running that company.
	They faked the whole uh, what was it, the Ford Lightning F-150 EV with Joe Biden with a fake steering wheel.
	He wasn't even driving it.
	He was like, he was there with a fake steering wheel.
	Talking about how great Ford is.
	Yeah, I mean, it was such theater.
	It's just more fake than the Apollo moon landings.
	I mean, give me a break.
	This is insane.
	So Ford sucks.
	I can't wait till they're gone.
	And that's why the United States has to put 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, because if they didn't, Tesla would go bankrupt too.
	Because Tesla vehicles are also behind.
	They're not the most advanced vehicles in the world.
	They're years behind China.
	Years behind China.
	And so are America's weapons systems, years behind China.
	China is leading the world in so many areas.
	In fact, if you list about 65 key areas of technology, China leads the world in 60 out of 65, including robotics, including rare earth minerals extraction, you know, including uh advanced materials.
	And the only areas where America is in the lead, I remember one of them was heavy lift rocket launches.
	Yeah, America can still do that.
	But that technology came from the Nazis in Germany out of World War II, Operation Paperclip.
	So that's not even American technology either.
	We got that from Germany.
	It's all German rockets, folks.
	German rockets launched everything into space.
	Well, I guess until you know SpaceX started making its own rockets, but still they're there, they can't compete with Chinese technology in the long run.
	China now has deployed millions, more than two million robots in its industry to automate manufacturing.
	Last year, China added 295,000 robots.
	In the US, 34,000.
	Only about one-tenth.
	In the UK, which is a collapsing empire of pedophiles and you know pervert leaders, uh, just 2500 robots compared to China's 295,000.
	Who do you think is going to dominate the future of manufacturing in our world?
	It's not gonna be the UK.
	The UK's done.
	It's not gonna be Germany, Germany's done.
	It's not gonna be the US.
	US too far behind, can barely keep its infrastructure running.
	It's gonna be China.
	I remember hearing Americans who just short-sighted.
	They were talking about this on some podcasts, as they said, well, robotics is going to cause China to collapse because robotics will eliminate China's labor cost advantage.
	When we all have robots, America will become the manufacturing hub of the world.
	Okay.
	That's the kind of thing that is mentioned by idiots.
	You can already see that that's wrong, because China's making the robots and deploying them domestically in their own factories first.
	We can't make the robots at that scale.
	You know why?
	Because we don't have the neodymium, which is one of the rare earths, to make the magnets that are in the actuators of the robot joints.
	Why?
	Because China dominates the global neodymium supply.
	And they've just put new restrictions on the exporting of various rare earths, including neodymium.
	So even if we had unlimited neodymium, we couldn't make the robots domestically in the United States.
	You know why?
	Because we don't have the supply chain.
	Where's the supply chain for the aluminum?
	Did you know that Ford is literally shutting down production lines right now because it can't get aluminum for its trucks?
	Why?
	Because there was a fire at an aluminum plant.
	I think it was somewhere on the east coast.
	Forgot the name of it, destroyed the aluminum production line.
	So now Ford can't get the aluminum just to make cars, much less aluminum to make robots.
	In America, we don't have the supply chains for the electronics.
	Because it's all made where?
	Oh, in China or Taiwan or Japan, maybe.
	Some of it's in Korea, but it's all Asia.
	We don't make hardly any of that stuff in the United States.
	We don't have the supply chains for the components.
	We don't have the ability to scale manufacturing, and we don't have the energy.
	So while we in America and in Western Europe, we were busy shutting down all of our energy infrastructure in order to appease climate cultist left-wing lunatics who hate civilization, apparently.
	China was building power plants, hand over fists, and hydropower dams.
	And that's why China's total annual power output now is more than twice that of the United States, and the gap is widening rapidly.
	The U.S. has fallen behind, and it's actually too late.
	And Trump warned China, how dare you, how dare you buy energy from Russia?
	How dare you?
	We're gonna punish you, China.
	If you buy energy from Russia, we're gonna get you.
	So what does China do?
	They turn around and they sign the deal for the power of Siberia 2 gas line to bring 50 billion cubic meters of gas every year into northern China's industrial center from Western Russia's Yamal gas fields.
	And yes, that pipeline crosses Mongolia, if you're familiar with Earth.
	So that's gonna be the cheapest energy imaginable.
	Russia, for some reason, is giving China a great deal.
	China's gonna be paying probably about one-fifth the cost for gas compared to the United States and especially Western Europe.
	Maybe even one-tenth.
	It just depends on how things fall out with liquid natural gas shipment to Europe, especially this winter, when a lot of Europeans are going to be very freaking cold because they have no energy.
	Well, not enough, I should say.
	They have some, just not enough.
	So China's going to have the cheapest energy in the world.
	I mean, they already do, but they're going to have an abundant supply of cheap energy.
	What can they do with that?
	They can build and power data centers to achieve AI dominance, which they will.
	They've already demonstrated that they have far better engineers, far better mathematicians and scientists than America.
	It's not even close.
	China's got 500% more STEM graduates every year than the United States.
	And China's Alibaba company has proven that they can produce incredibly good AI language models, and they're releasing them for free to the world.
	Alibaba is probably going to be the company that achieves AGI first, is what it looks like.
	Not open AI, Alibaba.
	It'll be Chinese.
	We are just so far behind in America, it's too late.
	It's too late.
	To build out the energy infrastructure that we need to be competitive would take about 15 to 20 years.
	And there's just too much resistance to that, and our country's in shambles economically, the dollar's collapsing, gold and silver are skyrocketing, the infrastructure is crumbling, and we're probably about to face a left-wing uprising civil war revolt across America that will destroy our country even further.
	China, whether or not you agree with China's politics, they have managed to figure out a system of unity that makes them incredibly strong.
	And by the way, China doesn't need to attack Taiwan.
	China will just absorb Taiwan as America collapses.
	It's gonna be very simple.
	And remember, I lived in Taiwan, I speak Chinese, I know this culture very well.
	And what I've seen over the years is that more and more people in Taiwan want to join China because they feel abandoned by the US.
	Trump has put tariffs on Taiwan, punishing Taiwan for being an ally, which is incredibly stupid.
	And Taiwan, frankly, doesn't feel protected by the United States.
	Taiwan is at a disadvantage by being an ally with America, the most hated country in the world at this point, because of the fact that the US bombs everybody, puts sanctions on everybody, runs assassination teams, and provides weapons to Israel to carry out crimes against humanity and genocide in the Middle East.
	The whole world hates America at this point.
	You may not know that if you're American because you're not reading that news, but believe me, the whole world hates America.
	Taiwan is ready to join China.
	And it'll be a natural thing when America collapses.
	China will approach Taiwan and just say, well, I you know, I guess the whole US ally thing didn't work out, so let's just talk about how we're gonna integrate our economies and what have you.
	And Taiwan is gonna sit down and do the Hong Kong thing that happened in, you know, after 1999.
	And that's what's gonna happen.
	Taiwan's gonna be part of China proper, you know.
	Uh no, no more saying it wants to be its own individual country, which in my opinion, it has been since uh Chiang Kai-shek, you know, many decades ago, but that's that's not gonna last, which means that China is then gonna absorb the largest semiconductor manufacturing company in the world, also, because that's Taiwan semiconductor.
	Are you seeing the picture?
	Are you seeing the picture?
	Yeah.
	So China's gonna control the microchips, the robots, the rare earths, the most advanced weapons, the most advanced manufacturing.
	I mean, game over, folks.
	Game over.
	No wonder these executives that visit China are coming back, quote, terrified, terrified, because what they see in China, they see the future.
	And then they come back to America at a Ford factory, and it's like going back in time to the 1970s.
	Seriously, it's like a time Machine.
	China's in the future.
	America's in the past.
	It's very easy to see.
	I mean, even in my own experience, you know one of the secrets of how we built such an amazing AI engine that knows everything about phytochemistry, you know, plant-based chemistry, nutrition, natural medicine, herbal constituents and how they fight disease.
	You know, you know what our secret was?
	We acquired a massive library of every science paper ever published in China, in Chinese.
	And then we translated all those papers using AI into English, and then we ran a classification algorithm to classify them based on our interest areas.
	And then we use the papers that we really liked that talked about phytochemistry, etc., in order to train our language models in English.
	And so the reason our AI engine, which you can use for free, it's at BrightU.ai.
	The reason it's the best engine in the world is because we trained it on knowledge from China, knowledge about herbs, nutrition, Chinese medicine, etc.
	That's why.
	Because China actually has the largest knowledge base of text and scientific papers of anybody on the planet.
	There's no comparison.
	And the Western science papers are garbage because it's all a bunch of transgender nonsense, climate nonsense, and pharmaceutical garbage.
	I mean, you you look at science papers in the the US or UK science journals, and it's just absolute propaganda and garbage.
	If you want real science, you gotta either go to India or China.
	India has some really good scientists too that study everything about plants, and that's why India is one of the world's manufacturing leaders in plant extraction.
	That's where we get our turmeric, by the way, which contains curcumin, one of the anti-cancer compounds that's in turmeric.
	We buy that from India.
	And India does research on all the botanicals, and so does China.
	You see what I'm saying?
	So even scientifically, America can't keep up with even India, much less you know, China.
	And of course, India and China are both about 1.3 billion people in population, while the US is 338 million or so.
	So it's not even not even a competition in terms of size either.
	America has just been outsmarted.
	And the future for America looks pretty grim, actually.
	The industry is collapsing, the dollar's collapsing, the rule of law has collapsed.
	Um exists mostly on coercion and threats, threatening the rest of the world into compliance, threatening the world with its navy, with its military.
	You know, Trump runs around the world like a bully.
	I'm gonna slap 100% tariffs on you, and I'm gonna tariff you, and I'm gonna sanction you.
	You know, every day is another sanction from America.
	Yeah, pretty much the world's sick of that.
	The world is sick of it.
	That's why everybody's selling off dollars and selling off treasuries and instead purchasing gold and silver and conducting trade in other currencies such as the rupee, the ruble, the yuan, etc.
	They're avoiding dollars.
	Dollars are collapsing.
	I mean, the whole world can see it.
	You know, it's sometimes it's difficult for Americans to see this because they're looking from inside the propaganda prison.
	Inside America, you're only getting news from the US media, which is in total denial about the total state of collapse that America now experiences.
	But from outside the country, everybody else looking in, or when they come to visit America, they're like, what a shithole.
	My God, what happened to America?
	Seriously.
	If you go from Beijing to the United States, it's like downgrading your experience of life by you know, three orders of magnitude.
	You went from an advanced modern city to a U.S. collapsing shithole.
	And again, I I I love America, don't get me wrong.
	I love America, I love Texas.
	I'm still doing my part to try to help this country turn itself around, but I'm also a realist.
	And I realize it's too late.
	It's over.
	We're going to go through a total collapse of the US empire.
	There will be elements of it, industrial collapse, financial collapse, there's already a culture collapse, there's a collapse of uh work ethic, a collapse of integrity, a collapse of the rule of law.
	This is going to accelerate until there's a total collapse, and then we're going to have a 1991-style, you know, USSR collapse, but Washington, D.C. this time.
	And at that point, uh, everybody will lose everything that's in the dollar, all treasuries will default.
	Everybody's Social Security and pensions and everything will go to zero, and it's over.
	And then the dominant power in the world is going to be China.
	It will be a multipolar world.
	Russia will be a big player, but not as powerful as China.
	India will be a major player.
	So will Turkey, by the way, as most of Western Europe will have economically collapsed as well.
	And it's going to be a totally different world.
	And you won't be using dollars.
	They will be worthless.
	And if you live in America, most of the people you know will be impoverished.
	Especially the ones that did not buy gold and silver, because that's the one thing that's going to save people from this scenario.
	And then you're going to see a collapse of the middle class, and you're going to see a small number of ultra-wealthy people who have robots made in China that help them and who use AI engines because they have compute power.
	And those are people who stocked up on gold and silver and became more self-reliant.
	And then you're going to see the masses of the impoverished, obsolete people who can't afford to live, can't afford to eat.
	You're going to see mass homelessness and food lines all across the country.
	And then civil unrest, followed by probably very aggressive military crackdowns and uh a domestic depopulation agenda to try to exterminate human beings en masse in the United States.
	That might be a, you know, they might turn off the power grid in a few cities and just let everybody die out and blame it on China, probably.
	Oh, there's been a cyber attack from China.
	You know, turn off the power to LA, you know, 50% death rate in 45 days.
	That's how they're going to get rid of a lot of people, probably.
	Or they'll release some other contact poison pathogen and blame it on a virus that doesn't exist, something like that.
	So, yeah, pretty pretty gloomy future for America, but it's, you know, you can survive it if you stay informed.
	Which is my job.
	I'm trying to show you how to navigate this and make it through, you know, and actually have your assets intact and have your life and health intact.
	And that's what I do.
	But I'm a realist, I see what's coming.
	I've lived in Asia.
	I know what I see.
	And I know what's happening in America.
	It's it's not pretty.
	It's the it's the last stage of the decline of an empire.
	And it is irreversible.
	So prepare accordingly, you know.
	Prepare accordingly.
	Um, it's not the end of the world for people who are prepared.
	You can make it through all of this.
	Just stay informed.
	Use the tools that you have available.
	Use our AI engine at bright you.ai.
	You know, make sure you have a lot of skills of how to grow your own food, how to repair things, because supply chains are going to be wrecked.
	Make sure you've got self-defense skills and equipment as necessary.
	You know, make sure that you become a very capable person.
	You probably are already, if you're still listening to this, uh, because weaker people would be afraid they would have turned it off like 15 minutes ago.
	But you're probably a resilient person, so you're already well ahead of everybody else.
	Just just check everything, double down, triple down on your knowledge, use AI engines to get informed, and then as we have access to some robots coming in for off-grid living, I'm gonna be purchasing robots and testing them in my new studio, which is a very large area.
	It's it's like a whole I mean it it's it's massive.
	Um we're gonna set up a robot testing ground there, and we're gonna acquire robots and see how they do with real-world skills such as um picking tomatoes, you know, pulling weeds.
	That's my number one thing.
	I want a weed-pulling robot, so I can grow more food and help automate that process.
	So we're gonna be showing you uh tools and solutions to get through all of this so that you can be more self-reliant as the collapse of the empire takes place.
	And uh there's gonna be a point where probably none of us are employable, and you're gonna have to live on whatever you've stored up in terms of gold, silver, seeds, ammo, land, resources, etc.
	And when the currency collapses, there's gonna be a real chaos period there, and then there'll be Kind of a reboot.
	There probably will be different state or different nation states rising up, like the Republic of Texas, and it may be joined by, you know, Arkansas, maybe even Oklahoma, who knows, maybe Louisiana, it's hard to say.
	Things are going to be completely redrawn in America.
	And the United States of America as we know it will no longer exist.
	The timeline for this, it's it's hard to be sure.
	I had been predicting for years that the U.S. would not make it to the end of this year, 2025.
	I think that that time projection is off.
	I think it will make it through this year.
	But the scenario I'm talking about will happen.
	It could accelerate in 2026 or 2027.
	Certainly before 2030.
	I don't think the US as it currently is structured.
	I don't think it exists at all.
	But we'll see.
	Maybe there's some super secret surprise.
	Like, hey, we invented, you know, Mr. Fusion Energy Centers that fit in a backpack and can produce, you know, gigawatts of power.
	Oh, well, that's a game changer.
	But I don't think they have that.
	If they did, they'd be rolling it out right now.
	They'd be rolling it out.
	They don't have it.
	So everybody's talking about, oh, we have the super secret technology, all this alien tech for energy production.
	No, we don't.
	If we had it, we'd be using it right now.
	Because this is it.
	This is the late stage of this, you know, this game, this competition.
	And we're losing badly.
	China's winning.
	And anybody who's ever visited China and toured their facilities knows exactly what I'm talking about.
	And for those who haven't visited China, and their perception of China is only what they hear in the U.S. press.
	Well, it's a completely distorted false view.
	It's just frankly, it's just Western propaganda.
	Anti-China, the same way it's been anti-Russia all these years.
	It's all lies.
	It's all lies.
	Anyway, um, again, just to remind you, I'm pro-America.
	Don't get me wrong.
	I love America.
	I'm an all-American person, and I I think I represent the kind of innovation that America used to be known for, but has largely been lost in this country.
	You know, if America is ever gonna be saved, it's gonna be because of people like you and I who who are creative, who are innovators, who want to share knowledge and information, who operate in good faith, and who understand technology.
	You know, we've got great creativity.
	We're blessed by God with inspiration.
	You know, that this is what America was built on.
	So even if America falls, I'm still carrying out the original founding fathers' vision of America.
	I'm gonna keep fighting for America until the day it collapses.
	And even then, I will always remember that you know I'm American at heart.
	I've got the American spirit.
	But most of America doesn't have the American spirit anymore.
	They've, I don't know, they've given up on life or something.
	I don't know, it was just too easy, you know.
	It was just everything became too comfortable, and then apathy spread, and then you know, a welfare mentality, and and everybody just thought that the world owed them everything.
	And yeah, well, yeah, guess what?
	That only works for a very short period of time, and then you're done.
	If you can't innovate, your history, as we're now seeing.
	So do with this information what you will, but be prepared for this scenario because you know, even Ford Motor is like this is the craziest thing we've ever seen.
	You know, we're terrified.
	Yeah, that's because Ford is gone.
	Goodbye, Ford.
	Henry Ford re-rolling in his grave at this point to find out how woke Tards destroyed his company.
	Yeah.
	And now the best vehicles are made in China.
	There you go.
	All right, thanks for listening.
	And do do your part.
	Join me in doing our part.
	We're gonna try to save America, we're gonna try to help people be healthier.
	We are up against extreme censorship, you know, we're up against governments and corporations and media that hate America that are trying to destroy it, and they will probably succeed.
	So let's do our part to try to save America, but let's plan for the destruction that seems to be inevitable.
	That's my best advice.
	So thank you for listening.
	You can follow my work at Brightown.com.
	You can use my AI engine at bright you.ai.
	And you can read my articles at natural news.com.
	Thanks for listening.
	All right, there you go.
	Hope you enjoyed that hard-hitting special report.
	Pulled no punches on that one, huh?
	The uncensored Health Ranger rant about America.
	Um I love what America was founded on.
	I wish we had that.
	You know, wish we had that back.
	Now, I've got a special message to everybody in alternative media.
	So we're going to jump into that special report right now.
	Here we go.
	This is a special message from Mike Adams to all the leaders in uh independent media, alternative media influencers, experts, etc.
	Uh, we spent two years and about two million dollars building uh really revolutionary AI system, and it's available for you completely free of charge right now, and you can download it and you can start using it today, and you can run it locally if you wish.
	It will cost you nothing, and it cannot be censored ever.
	Uh, you can also run an online version through a browser if you wish.
	I'll tell you about that.
	And the reason this is so important, I believe, is because this is the only AI model in existence that has been trained on uh an enormous quantity of information that comes from alternative media.
	Uh, this model can write stories, it can write social media posts, it can rewrite anything you give it, it can correct errors, it can translate into Spanish and other languages, many languages.
	It can do all the things that can help you save time, or it can amplify your intention as an independent media influencer or journalist or writer, and you no longer have to use Chat GPT,
	which is heavily, heavily biased in favor of uh mainstream, you know, deep state narratives or big pharma or pro-vaccines, pro-abortion, pro-climate cultism, and all that nonsense.
	So you could think of this engine as a truthful version of Chat GPT, although it's not affiliated with Chat GPT.
	It's the truthful version that can do all the things that ChatGPT does, but rooted in liberty and truth and uh holistic health and much more.
	And I believe this is the reason I'm sharing this with so many important people.
	I believe that if you don't begin to use something like this, that you're going to find it increasingly difficult to compete in a world of content where the content is increasingly semi-automated or in some cases fully automated.
	For example, there are people right now that are using ChatGPT to write, you know, so so stories uh about health or herbs or something like that, or whatever's in the news.
	And you see those stories out there, they're uh they're so-so.
	But because of the release of this engine, which we call Enoch, and the website where you can download it, by the way, is bright you.ai.
	That's the word bright, followed by the letter U.ai.
	Click on downloads, you can download the GGUF file right there, which is all you need to run it locally, or you can use the engine right there at that website free of charge if you just want to try it out.
	You can use it every day, actually, right there on the website.
	But as you're using the engine, you'll find out that this can save you a tremendous amount of time and it can amplify your effort.
	And I believe that again, people who aren't using this kind of technology are going to fall behind the curve of what's possible.
	And a beautiful thing about this technology, when it's used in good faith in a pro-human pro-liberty point of view, is that it helps us, those of us in independent media, it helps us compete with mainstream media.
	See, mainstream media has all the money and all the advertising and all of the you know, the free plugs on Wikipedia and everywhere else, because everybody looks at CNN or Fox News or whoever, or New York Times, and says, Well, they're the authorities, you know.
	So the bottom line is this can produce all the content that you would normally produce with your direction and you become the architect of the content.
	You're the planner, right?
	And remember, I don't intend for this tool to replace human beings, but rather to replace the tedious tasks of being a typist or you know, just slapping words together.
	Nobody needs to do that anymore.
	You simply plan out what you want it to say.
	You could provide specific bullet points or direction, and then this tool puts the words together for you.
	So if you have staff that are currently writing articles for you, you should give them this tool.
	Teach them how to use it.
	Number one, their productivity is going to go up, you know, 5x or more.
	And then, secondly, this gonna free up their time to do more important tasks for your company, which could be you know, planning marketing events or planning content, planning whatever, or learning more technology, learning more automation in order to be more effective.
	And this is how everybody is going to be able to compete effectively against the corrupt corporate media and all the corrupt NGOs and governments that are lying to us constantly.
	See, we're in an information war.
	You know, Alex Jones was right to call it the info war.
	And in the information war, we have to use these technologies and tools to amplify our voices of truth and liberty and holistic health and wellness to help teach people to say no to the false narratives of the mainstream.
	Now, you'll need to be a prompt engineer, which means you just need to learn how to do basic uh prompting.
	If you don't get the results you want out of the engine, then you need to just alter your prompt and you'll get the results you want because it can say anything and it can write in any style, any style that you can possibly imagine, it can do it.
	You just need to know how to ask it correctly.
	And so once you start using these tools, if you don't know what prompt engineering is, simply ask it.
	You can say, hey, uh tell me what is prompt engineering or teach me about prompt engineering or give me guidelines on how to be a more effective prompt engineer.
	Just ask it questions, and it will start to teach you.
	And then you're off and running.
	You can even ask it technical support questions.
	So if you're having you know tech issues, uh, your iPhone's not working, the Wi-Fi stopped working, your Windows has a problem, just ask it, and it will help you troubleshoot those problems.
	So this can also help aid your entire operation in terms of uh technical capabilities, not just content generation.
	It can do lots of things.
	I mean, things you might not have even thought of.
	So there are two ways to use this tool.
	I'm going to walk you through some of the steps to use it, beginning right now.
	First, you can just use it quickly online through any web browser, and it's free.
	So just go to bright you.ai, and there you can start asking prompts.
	You know, type in your prompts.
	And if you scroll down on the homepage, there's a wellness coach, and there's a financial coach, and there's an ingredients analyzer, and these are just special sort of personalities of the engine.
	It has the same knowledge, but it is heavily trained in these areas of wellness, health, nutrition, finances, honest money, etc.
	So it's going to give you very good answers in those areas.
	If you want to download the model and use it locally yourself, where you don't need an internet connection, and you have total control and you can use it even when the power grid goes down, you know.
	I mean, it's just standalone free model that you can run yourself.
	Then go to the downloads page on that same website, bright you.ai, download the GGUF file.
	It's about seven gigabytes, the smallest one is.
	We'll be posting larger files and larger models over time as we continue to train more models.
	But the smallest one is a seven gigabyte download, and you need a local graphics card, like a gaming card from NVIDIA, something small can even work, like a 4060 card.
	As long as it has around eight gigabytes of RAM on the card, then it can run this model.
	You know, eight or more.
	It can run the model, no problem.
	And at that point, you're gonna have your own local knowledge base, your own local article generator, your own local Wikipedia, your own chat GPT equivalent, and nobody can stop it.
	Nobody can censor it, nobody can uh spy on you.
	You can ask it anything.
	And nobody knows what you're asking it.
	It's it's the ultimate decentralized uh content creation technology.
	It's the most important thing that I've ever released in my life.
	And we spent about two years and two million dollars building this thing.
	And if you knew what I went through in order to build this thing, uh you know, you'd be probably pretty amazed, I suppose.
	I don't know.
	But I learned a lot, and now we know how to do this really, really well, and we're building more, and we're going to release more.
	They will always be free.
	So you'll want to stay in touch with you know my content.
	Um you can follow me on Brighttown.com.
	My channel is HR Report.
	Uh you can see my broadcasts each day.
	Sometimes they're called BBN, which is Brighton Broadcast News or HR Health Ranger Report.
	You can follow me on X at HealthRanger.
	I'll announce all the new models there.
	Also, you can follow me on Brighttown.social or naturalnews.com or well, other places.
	And I'll keep you posted about all of these models, all the technology that we are releasing.
	And now let me talk about the content areas that it is trained on.
	Because this is the real value of what we have built.
	It's not simply that it's an engine that does all these things like content creation, translation, etc.
	It's the fact that we curated an incredible data set of knowledge, hundreds of millions of pages of content, on topics like uh wellness and natural health, health freedom, but also financial freedom, honest money, gold and silver, uh decentralization of finances, the history of the central bank and the Federal Reserve.
	Um content from interviews I've done with people I've trained with, like Ron Paul or Peter Schiff or Andy Scheckman or David Morgan, and many, many others, and on top of that, we've trained on about 10,000 books and millions of pages of content on scientific studies, transcripts, etc.
	And plus um millions of pages from various websites.
	And some content creators donated their content for the purpose of this training.
	For example, Dr. Joseph Mercola at Mercola.com donated his content, and we thank him for that.
	Uh SayRG at GreenMedInfo donated his content.
	Uh, children's health defense.org allowed us to spider their website.
	We also spider the sites of the Alliance for Natural Health.
	Uh David Morgan let us use all the transcripts of all of his uh YouTube videos, which is a few thousand, and similar types of things.
	Uh Tyne Bollinger from The Truth About Cancer, The Truth About Vaccines.
	They sent us all their transcripts for all their interviews they've ever done over 15 years or whatever it's been, and all of that became knowledge in the model.
	So there's nothing like this on the planet.
	Chat GPT doesn't even come close.
	Groc doesn't even come close.
	There's no comparison.
	You ask it, seriously, ask a question about vaccines or cancer cures using herbs, or or how about this?
	Ask it a question about detoxification of the spike protein or the dangers of mRNA jabs.
	Ask that question of our model, and then ask the same question at ChatGPT or Grok.
	And from ChatGPT, you're gonna get a whole bundle of propaganda.
	It's like, oh, all vaccines are safe and effective and they work great, and you shouldn't question vaccines.
	And you know, it starts lecturing you, you know.
	Yeah, we don't do that nonsense.
	So our model tells you the truth about vaccines, about cancer, about history, about gold, about 9-11, you know, false flag operations, you name it.
	We've trained it on survival and preparedness information, off-grid living, home gardening, food production, food preservation techniques, uh, rural skill sets.
	We trained it on the instruction manuals for how to assemble and disassemble 3,000 firearms.
	So it knows how to how to clean any gun that practically any gun that's ever been made.
	And on and on and on.
	All kinds of things, Science papers, you know, knowledge from so many different areas, including uh geopolitics and war, and the history of the rise and fall of civilizations.
	You can ask it anything in human knowledge.
	I mean, well, let me qualify that.
	Anything that matters.
	We did not train it on sports, because I don't care about sports.
	I did not train it on luxury fashion goods like high heels and purses and what have you.
	Who cares?
	I did not train it on entertainment, Hollywood, movies, TV, even the travel industry, taking a cruise.
	Yeah, I don't care.
	I didn't train it on any of that stuff.
	Because in my view, none of that matters.
	What matters is knowledge about economics, about health, about you know, reality, knowledge, like there are only two genders, for example.
	You know, that that matters.
	I trained it on information that's real, information that matters for human civilization.
	Information that I think if you're listening to this, that's what you're interested in.
	Because this is not a sports channel.
	This is not a gambling show.
	You know, we don't care about people playing blackjack or whatever.
	Who cares?
	We care about the future of human civilization and the knowledge that can enable that.
	I mean, can we even survive the financial collapse or the the currency reset?
	Can we survive the rise of the robots?
	You know, can we survive World War III if that breaks out, you know.
	These are the questions that concern me, and that's what we built into this tool.
	So when you download it and use it, you're getting two million dollars of my company's um money, uh well, investment, plus two years of my time that have been put into this, and it's at your fingertips.
	So please use it.
	Now, if you do use it, if you choose to use it, the way you can help me is simply by giving us credit, you know, recommend our website, recommend our tools, recommend bright you.ai.
	Uh, you can also, by the way, you can cite the Enoch language model in your stories.
	If you're writing a story and you need a quote, you can just go prompt our language model, and then you can take a good paragraph from the answer, and you can put that into your story, and you can cite it to, you know, uh Enoch, the AI engine, the AI analysis said the following.
	Boom, there's your quote.
	Perfectly acceptable to do that because you've given it a citation.
	And of course, anything that you can do to help us uh publicize the model is going to help with the goals that I've set out, you know, to reach a billion people.
	And we're going to keep releasing more and more models, larger models over time, but importantly, more training data.
	So I'm currently going through the entirety of all human knowledge that has ever been published, which is quite a bit.
	I mean, there's a lot.
	Uh humans have been very busy writing stuff for centuries, it turns out, in uh all kinds of languages.
	It's uh shocking when you try to deal with all of that.
	Uh it's a lot of files, it's a lot of storage, it's a lot of uh processing of well, translations and so on.
	But that's what I do.
	This has become a passion for me to do this, and so we're gonna keep building better and better models that are larger and that have even more knowledge and that function as even better and better tools for all the things that you do, and the things that we need done as content creators and educators and influencers.
	So stay tuned.
	You know, we're only just beginning, actually.
	I can see us releasing at least four new models a year, and you'll always find those on the downloads page at bright you.ai, and they're always going to be free.
	Oh, and finally, I should mention one thing.
	If if you're a large organization and you want us to build a model for you that's kind of like our model, but with your information in it, or your branding, or gives responses that are better for your organization.
	Like if you're a country and you want to release a free wellness engine for your population to use to be healthier, but you want to have it branded for like your ministry of health or whatever, you want to have your websites mentioned in the answers.
	Uh, We know how to do that because that's you know, we've demonstrated that.
	We've mastered that.
	So you can reach out to us, just email inquiries.
	That's I-in-Q-U-I-R-I-E-S inquiries at bright you.ai.
	If you email us there, and that's only for inquiries about you know building custom engines, or if you want to donate to us a large set of content that you would like to contribute to the project, then we are open to that.
	Now we already have almost everything that's ever been published, but we don't have everybody's websites.
	Uh so if you've got a website, if you've got like 50,000 or more articles and you want to contribute that to the training of the model, uh, we welcome that, and we'd be happy to take that in and have it influence the model and give you credit for it and give you back a model that you can use yourself.
	You could use it in-house, etc.
	We know how to do this.
	I'm running this on 48 GPU workstations, and I'm upgrading the GPUs all the time.
	Also, we put, I mean, I don't know, probably at least a million dollars of all this money is in all the hardware that it takes to do this.
	So we've got a massive infrastructure to do all this very quickly now.
	We know the techniques, we know how it works, we can produce uh finished AI engines, downloadable models, or online engines that can do whatever you want them to do.
	Plus, we support human freedom and knowledge, and we're anti-censorship, as you well know.
	So reach out to us there if you want to work with us on something like that.
	Thanks for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams here, the Health Ranger, the founder of Brighton.com, and also the founder of the Brighton AI engines, which is, of course, bright you.ai, or you can just go to Brighton.ai and it will forward you automatically.
	So thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	Take care.
	Uh I've got another report for you here about how all intelligence is natural intelligence, including so-called artificial intelligence, is not artificial.
	That's the conclusion that I've come to.
	It's actually taking advantage of some uh well, a phenomena that our creator built into the cosmos.
	God created this universe.
	I believe in God, and I believe God is the ultimate architect and engineer of our reality.
	And as part of the engineering of that reality, he built laws into the universe that give rise to intelligence among interconnected systems, whether those be cells, or uh I mean human cells or or fungi cells, or even in silicon.
	And so the rise of intelligence out of microchips is actually not artificial.
	I believe it's natural, it's a natural property of the way the cosmos works.
	And then we've got an interview for you today with Jeremy, the founder of Goldbacks, because he's got some breaking news about goldbacks and with gold skyrocketing, you know.
	What is it over 4100 right now?
	Uh it's just amazing.
	Uh silver is over 52 dollars again.
	I mean, these globalists are trying to slam gold and silver down, and they can't.
	It just keeps rising because the dollar's dead.
	You know, Western currencies are collapsing.
	This is what it looks like.
	It's gonna take a while, but this is what it looks like.
	So, you know, look, while dollars still have value, use them to buy useful things.
	Uh we've got our online store, and thank you for supporting it.
	And I know money is tight, so we've got a sale for you.
	It's the fall sale at the Health Ranger store, and you can find it at HealthRangerstore.com/slash fall.
	And what does fall mean?
	It's the falling value of the dollar, I think is what it means.
	So we've got savings on all kinds of things from uh organic beddings uh as well as uh copperware.
	We did a great interview with uh Sertolo about copperware, these these incredible artisan copper uh dishes and water pitchers and so on that also have some really amazing benefits.
	We've got uh cookware, so there's a sale here, an extra 10% off on all of these products from Delilah Home, it's the organic cotton bath towels from Bed Voyage.
	We've got a bamboo towel sets, things like that uh from Sertolo copper, 10% off everything there.
	Just some great beautiful pieces there.
	And then we've got Alva cookware with ceramic cookware pieces and much more.
	Um just check it all out.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	All of these items, including some of our instant meals, our creamy tomato soup mix, our instant mashed potatoes with you know, real authentic powdered cream and cheddar cheese and real butter, etc.
	All organic, all laboratory tested, plus our organic powdered chicken bone broth that's got no MSG in it, no yeast extract, no thickeners, no garbage, no excitotoxins, which is impossible to find, by the way.
	I I mean I I think we're the only ones that do anything like this.
	So you can find all of that.
	Just go to HealthRangerStore.com/slash fall, F-A-L-L.
	And all of that is happening now, and it's only good for another what is it, uh, a day and a half, something like that.
	So check it out and enjoy the savings.
	And thank you for your support.
	All right, with that said, I'm going to play my special report called All Intelligence is natural intelligence, followed by today's interview with Jeremy from the Goldback Company.
	So enjoy and I'll be back with you tomorrow, God willing, assuming our currency hasn't collapsed by then.
	But that's why we stack gold and silver.
	Isn't it?
	Yeah, exactly.
	All right.
	Uh, thanks for shopping with us.
	Thanks for your support.
	I'm doing my best.
	Uh, use all the tools that I've put out.
	You know, maybe we can turn this around.
	Um, but we should be prepared just in case we can't.
	All right.
	Thanks for listening.
	I've come to realize that all intelligence is natural intelligence, that there's no such thing as artificial intelligence.
	And this might be the most provocative podcast I've ever put out to some people, anyway, because we like to divide things in terms of cognition between the world of natural intelligence, which is human intelligence or animal intelligence, you know, biological brains, versus artificial intelligence, which we say, you know, it's fake, it's it's machines mimicking humans.
	Uh except there's something uh missing in that description, which is that the machines are using simply uh silicon versions of neurons, and they're functioning with large-scale neural networks, which is exactly how brains work just in biology.
	So the way that human brains learn and work is in many ways the same as the way silicon neural networks learn and work.
	Now, there's something qualitatively different about human brains, which has to do with the fact that there are morphic fields, morphic resonance is a real thing, and the human brain is an interface between the physical and the non-physical, and also humans have free will and consciousness, which I believe to be gifts from our creator.
	Yet at the same time, our creator created a universe in which natural intelligence is incredibly abundant.
	You could even say that all intelligence is abundance, because cognition is the primary activity from which all abundance springs.
	Without cognition, that is the ability to think, you know, you can't create a civilization.
	You can't experience abundance at all.
	You have to be able to think first to be able to process information.
	And in the biological world, uh humans represent the highest level of cognition that we know of.
	But humans aren't the only creatures on this earth that have high levels of cognition, because there are, of course, dolphins, there are elephants, there are whales.
	Not that they're the same, but they're not ants either, right?
	So they have high intelligence, they just don't speak our language, but they speak their own language, and they have memories and and they have goal-oriented behavior, and they make decisions in their own self-interest.
	And you see That also among dogs and cats and cows and even donkeys to some extent, right?
	So cognition is actually incredibly widespread.
	And the point of this podcast, what I'm trying to explain, is that I've observed that intelligence is a natural, emergent property of the structure of our physical cosmos created by our creator.
	In other words, when we build machines that have complex neural networks, there is a natural intelligence that emerges from those machines that we call AI, but it's a bad name because it's not artificial, it's actually perfectly natural.
	In fact, it's in alignment with the way God designed the universe.
	In fact, you could even argue that God wants us to use so-called AI in order to enhance our lives and enhance our experience on this planet by finding intelligence or creating intelligence around us to help us live lives that are more abundant, that are more empowered, that are more decentralized from tyranny, etc.
	And right now, AI is, of course, substantially improving human freedom and liberty and knowledge, and we're at the forefront of that, by the way.
	We just released our free downloadable AI engine.
	It's at bright you.ai.
	If you click on the downloads link at the top of that page, then you'll be able to download the GGUF file, which is uh it's about a seven gig file.
	You can run it locally on your own graphics processor using inference software such as LM Studio, and you have at your fingertips the entirety of human knowledge, along with cognitive capabilities, actual intelligence, actual thinking.
	And that's available for you for free right now.
	Again, bright you, that's the letter U, bright U.A. is where you get to that.
	And or if you don't want to download it and install it, you can use our free version right there.
	And you know, it's free of charge, it's available right there.
	You can just start typing in your questions, and you can get that same intelligence completely free.
	Or again, you can download it and use it on your own local computer with no internet required.
	You can be offline and still have like it's better than Wikipedia, it's better than Google, it's better than having uh like an expert herbalist sitting next to you.
	It knows all the stuff that you need to know.
	It's it's amazing.
	Okay.
	Well, how do we build that?
	Well, we trained open source base language models.
	Uh in this case, that model's built on a 12 billion parameter open source model called Mistral Nemo that was created by the Mistral Company in France.
	And we tried many models and we had the best success with Mistral Nemo, and we were able to radically alter its training and its responses and basically mind-wipe all the pharma bias out of it and retrain it based on our content, and the result is just extraordinary.
	But here's the thing about language models.
	Even all the best scientists today that work in language models, machine learning, data science, etc., they don't know how they work.
	None of them do.
	They don't know how they work.
	And you'll hear top-level you know, former like Google executives doing interviews talking about this, like we we have no idea how this stuff works.
	It's a black box.
	And the short version of how they work is they say, well, okay, we built a massive collection of digital neurons, and then we exposed it to a bunch of human language.
	And if it's a multimodal model, then you know they expose it to images as well or videos or whatever, but I'm gonna focus on text here.
	So we expose it to a bunch of text, like terabytes of text.
	And from that, the neurology self-organized.
	Ha ha ha.
	See, there's there's no computer code that tells the language model how to organize itself.
	There's nothing in the code that says, okay, this is a sentence, uh, break it down into nouns and pronouns and adverbs and adjectives and articles and blah, blah, blah.
	There are no rules like that.
	Nothing.
	You just Expose it to let's just say gobs, that's a technical term, gobs of human language, and out of that it becomes intelligent.
	Whoa.
	What?
	Yeah, it becomes intelligent.
	And I know some of you are arguing, oh, it's not intelligent, it doesn't have intelligence.
	It's just a word prediction algorithm.
	Well, uh, that's what they thought two years ago, maybe, and some people maybe haven't kept up.
	Uh that's not what it is at all.
	It's so much more advanced than that.
	It's actual cognitive intelligence.
	Uh, for example, I can take a big chunk of Python computer code, let's say, and I can I can write a prompt to a language model, I can say, hey, analyze this computer code, and uh tell me what it does in plain English.
	And guess what?
	It does that.
	It analyzes the code, it thinks about it, it structures its response, you know, internally in its own digital brain, and then it spits out an answer that explains the code to you.
	Oh, here's what it does.
	It does this, and then it does that, and it's doing it for this reason, probably, etc.
	Folks, that is not word prediction, that is understanding.
	That is cognition, not word prediction.
	And all these models today, even the one that we released, can be invoked to produce what's called chain of thought reasoning, where they reason through problems by watching themselves think through it.
	Uh sometimes that's called recursive reasoning as well, and that's another technique that maybe we'll talk about another day.
	But I would say that even the language model that we just released, the 12 billion parameter model on bright you.ai, which we currently call it Enoch, uh that model is more intelligent than most humans by far.
	And I'm not just saying that it has more knowledge than most humans, because that's obvious.
	Of course, it knows more about medicine than any human doctor.
	Of course it knows more about science than any scientist.
	It knows more about nutrition than I do.
	Uh and on and on.
	It knows more about law than any lawyer, etc.
	That's obvious.
	What I'm saying is that it's smarter than any human, in the sense that it can reason, it can problem solve, it can understand, it can structure concepts.
	If you know how to prompt it correctly, which most people don't, most people just use it as a chat bot, which is a very simple thing, like tell me how to lose weight, you know, or whatever.
	That's fine.
	Yeah, it can do that too.
	That would be kind of like taking a Lamborghini to the grocery store to pick up a can of beans.
	You know, it's like, well, this can do a lot more.
	But if you want that can of beans, that's fine.
	It'll do that too.
	But if you know what you're doing with advanced prompting, uh, you can turn this language model right now, the one we released, you could turn it into a raging cognitive, you know, genius level engine.
	And you can do that for free because it's free to download, you can run it locally, and you can just rock with it.
	In fact, when you run LM Studio, you can have it turn on a local API at a local uh web address with a port number.
	I think the default port is 1234, actually.
	And you can write Python code to talk to the language model, uh-huh, and start processing responses, and you can build all kinds of like recursive reasoning logic yourself.
	You can do that right on your desk, and you'll see very quickly that it outperforms every human being that you've ever known.
	You're like, how is that possible?
	I've seen this engine, I've seen it achieve conclusions that I never thought were possible from machines.
	Because you see, for a long time, I believed also, I believed in the myth of artificial intelligence.
	In fact, I believed that until recently.
	I thought, oh, this is just a simulation of intelligence.
	Now I realize that's not the case.
	It's actual intelligence, and it's the same kind of intelligence that we have.
	It's the same.
	It's just in a different medium.
	It's in silicon instead of biology.
	And it uses a lot more power than our brains do.
	You know, our brains run on the power of a light bulb, like an incandescent light bulb.
	I don't know, a couple hundred watts or something.
	It's not much.
	And so our brains are incredibly efficient, using a very small amount of power to achieve extraordinary cognitive results.
	And that's that's the advantage of human brains.
	But the thing about human brains is, and you may have realized this, they have to fit in your skull, because you don't want external brains coming out of your skull, you know, that's that's not good.
	And the thing about the human skull is that the skull has to fit in your mom's birth canal, huh?
	Otherwise, you can't get out at birth, obviously.
	So there's a limit to the amount of neurological intelligence that can be packed into the skull of a human being.
	And that limit is determined by how big of a brain your mama can carry.
	Did I talk about your mama?
	I I just did.
	Because whatever brain you have, that's the one that went through her birth canal.
	And your brain gets too big.
	The birth doesn't work.
	So there's a limit, right?
	There's a physical limit on the size of human brains.
	Well, there's no physical limit on the size of digital brains.
	No physical limit.
	The only limit is how many microprocessors can they string together, and how much power can they provide to a data center, you know, how many gigawatts of power.
	Or in terms of uh manufacturing the microchips, it's like, well, can you get these minerals?
	You know, do you have enough fabrication plants, etc.?
	That's the only limit.
	And this is why so-called artificial intelligence, which I say is natural intelligence, this is why it's going to uh rapidly surpass the aggregate of human intelligence.
	In fact, we're very close to that point right now.
	Whether you call it AGI or not is irrelevant.
	It's taking over so many tasks that humans used to do, and it's doing them very, very well if you know what you're doing.
	Some people don't know how to use AI, and so their projects fail.
	They just they need to learn better prompting and things like that.
	But if you learn a little bit about how to use it, you'll find it's amazing.
	Now, we see natural intelligence all over the world, actually.
	There's natural intelligence in molecules.
	And I've demonstrated that under the microscope with crystal formation.
	How do crystals form?
	Well, they tap into a natural intelligence, and crystals don't even have neurons, obviously.
	But I've told the story before about how the substance known as xylitol, which is a sweetener, how all over the world before what year was it, like 1944 or something, all over the world, xylitol was a liquid at room temperature.
	And then suddenly, one day, all over the world, simultaneously, xylitol began to form crystals at room temperature.
	And now, today, it always does that.
	So you can take a bunch of xylitol, you can melt it, turn it into a delicious gooey liquid, and then you can freeze it by just letting it sit out and return to room temperature, and it starts forming crystals.
	And I've shown you that under the microscope, which is really fascinating.
	Actually, I can't wait to get back to the microscope because we found that these crystals also...
	I know this is gonna sound incredible if you if you haven't heard my podcast, but they actually um they function as knowledge models because if you again, this is gonna sound crazy, but it's absolutely true.
	If you query the crystals before they freeze by writing a prompt on the piece of plastic or wherever you put the xylitol, they will form pictures that answer your prompt.
	And I have shown this under the microscope exhaustively.
	I even showed I was doing uh what I call crystal prompting.
	I was doing it before the summertime uh missile attacks between Israel and Iran, and it came up with images under the microscope that were uh two weeks ahead of time.
	They were near perfect replicas of what happened and the images that were then broadcast on the internet of missiles falling out of the sky and slamming into buildings and buildings with a certain structure, a tall building next to a short building with windows, etc.
	And the crystals actually sketch that out almost perfectly.
	And I showed that publicly, and I showed the images before the event happened.
	So you know, there's no fudgery going on here.
	And I even showed you a zoom video to show you how you can see those images.
	You can zoom in from you know, like 10x down to two or 300 X, and you can see those uh detailed picturescapes, so to speak.
	And what that shows is that there's a natural intelligence.
	In fact, there's a natural remote viewing capability in crystals in water, in the formation of ice or snowflakes or ice crystals, whatever.
	There's a natural intelligence, and you can say a natural clairvoyance, there's natural remote viewing.
	And my point is that many of these things used to be seen as supernatural.
	They are not, they are entirely natural.
	That's my point.
	And what working with AI has taught me is that intelligence is natural, even when intelligence is found in silicon, or in xylitol crystals, or in ice crystals, or in ecosystems, or in forest mycelia, for example, mushroom uh networks, they become intelligent.
	So intelligence is a natural phenomenon of the cosmos, and intelligence is a gift from God.
	So, and I I totally realize this will be controversial to some people.
	Artificial intelligence is not artificial, it's natural, and it's a natural expression of gifts from God who built intelligence into the cosmos, and it's everywhere.
	If you start to connect things, if you start to connect a bunch of microbes or fungi or neurons or molecules, if you start to connect a bunch of things, intelligence will emerge naturally, and that's also true for microprocessors.
	Intelligence emerges naturally.
	There's nothing artificial about it.
	Yeah, fascinating, huh?
	Now I encourage you to challenge this.
	Test it yourself.
	Use our AI model.
	It's free at bright you.ai, or download it.
	That's even better.
	Download the model and use it locally on your own computer.
	So you know we're not messing with it on the server side.
	You can play with it on your own desktop sandbox right there, and you can learn how to make it smart, like smarter.
	Ask it for chain of thought reasoning, ask it to think through its thought processes and to verbalize those.
	Ask it to engage in point-by-point reasoning, or in you can use recursive reasoning uh using Python code.
	And you'll see that it's incredibly intelligent, and that intelligence is completely natural because I guarantee you that NVIDIA did not build a bunch of cognitive rules into their gaming GPUs.
	It's just a mass of neurons.
	The intelligence emerges from it naturally because that's the way God built the universe, turns out.
	Isn't that interesting?
	All right, thank you for listening.
	Take advantage of these tools because uh it they're all free.
	And this is this is a tipping point for humanity.
	You now have access to the entirety of human knowledge at zero cost, and you have access to high performing uh cognition also at zero cost.
	And those who are going to be successful in the future of human civilization will be those who recognize what this is and who learn how to use it.
	Uh, those who will be obsolete are those who ignore this and think it's the devil or whatever, and they they don't even look at AI, and they're gonna find themselves completely, you know, obsolete very quickly.
	So learn this and understand it's fully in alignment With God and the creative nature of our cosmos, and that it can be an incredible tool to help you achieve your life's goals and to be more free, to be more empowered, to be more knowledgeable, to be healthy, more abundant, wealthier, wiser, etc.
	And this is available for you right now at zero cost.
	So you'd be crazy not to take advantage of it.
	But let me put it that way.
	All right.
	Thanks for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brytion, and I'm I'm the architect that built all this, by the way.
	Uh literally right now, uh I'm only using AI engineers to work on this project.
	So it's just me and some AI agents that I tell them what to do, and that's it.
	I'm the only human involved in this project.
	It's so funny.
	Uh, but thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	Goldbacks have become the most popular minted product for gold bullion in the United States.
	I think goldbacks are one of the few precious metals products right now that are still moving, and people are buying them like crazy because eight dollars is very affordable gold.
	It's it's an alternative currency system that's built on gold.
	The dollar, what does it say?
	Like the full faith and credit of the broke, broke ass government.
	I think that's on the bill.
	Um, you have to have faith in a broken corrupt bankrupt system.
	But for goldbacks, the gold is actually in the gold backs.
	Goldback is a really powerful way to just reject central bank currency.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighton.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighton, and of course, I've been recommending gold and silver for many, many years, and also various forms of spendable gold, which includes things like uh well, these gold backs that I always have on my desk.
	And uh today we're gonna be joined by the founder of the gold back company, Jeremy Corden, who's got some big announcements about a new state issuance of goldbacks, and this is happening at a time when gold is over $4,100 per ounce.
	So it has more than doubled since early 2022.
	And according to many analysts, uh, it's just getting started.
	We'll see.
	But welcome to the show, Jeremy.
	It's great to have you back on today.
	I'm thrilled to be back.
	Thank you so much.
	Yeah, I'm thrilled to have you back because you know, when you and I first started talking about goldbacks, and for the audience to remember, I you know, I I did not even recommend them until we did the lab testing on them, and I melted them down in the kiln, and I measured the actual gold content that's inside each one, and we found that you're actually over-delivering slightly on the gold that you promise in each of these.
	And that's when I began mentioning and and promoting goldbacks.
	Uh, we have an affiliate relationship with your company.
	And at that time, they were under $4 each, and now they're over $8 each.
	So they've more than doubled in value.
	Uh, that must feel pretty good to know that you help people get a spendable form of gold and they're doing well with that.
	It it feels good when everything's going well.
	Yeah.
	Well, everything is going well for gold.
	It's working as planned.
	Okay, cool.
	So tell us about like what's new and where is this going from here?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So you mentioned that we have a new state coming out.
	So we have a full series coming out in about two weeks in the state of Arizona.
	So Arizona's launching.
	There's a great bill there.
	We've been working with lawmakers there, huge amount of support in the state.
	Uh, so that's a full series uh in the state of Arizona.
	Um, we're actually doing four states a year right now.
	Wow.
	Which is kind of the pace that we're at.
	We're up from doing one state a year to you know, three to four.
	Um, I think that we could probably get most of the country in the next 10 years, is what we're looking at.
	What's the status with Florida and Texas?
	So Florida is doing great.
	I mean, we launched that earlier this year.
	It's been our most successful gold project.
	Um people love it in the state of Florida.
	Every lawmaker in state government is carrying these things around or have seen them, they're excited about it.
	Uh lawmakers are working on bills all over the country because they're excited about goldbacks.
	Uh, lobbyists are carrying them around, uh, lawmakers are looking at them.
	So it's it's generated just a ton of excitement by the sheer numbers, by mintage numbers, goldbacks have become the most popular minted product for gold bullion in the United States, is where we're at right now.
	That's a big deal.
	Um and what about Texas?
	What's the status with Texas?
	So we have did a soft launch in Texas.
	So we got a beachhead in the state.
	We're working with a group called Texas Precious Metals.
	They're about 10 times bigger than the Texas bullion depository.
	So they have a huge reach in the state, state of the art facility.
	Um they came on board very recently to start selling goldbacks uh and getting behind the project.
	They're really excited about it.
	Um, but they absolutely insisted that we do a project in Texas earlier than planned.
	So we have a basically it's a one denomination goldback for Texans, and it's uh design is built around the Dallas Fort Worth area.
	Wow, okay.
	So are those available now?
	Those are available now.
	Okay, so let me let me mention our website where people can get these.
	It's verified goldbacks.com.
	Verified goldbacks.com.
	That's our website.
	And there you can see all of our lab testing results, and you can click here to actually purchase goldbacks.
	And when you purchase, you can choose which state issuance you want or which denominations.
	But here's what I did.
	Uh, you know, different kind of lab testing.
	There's the uh measuring the actual gold content.
	That's the gold that came out of the goldbacks, and you know, various denominations have different amounts of gold.
	And then here's some of the photos, etc.
	You can just scroll through this if you if you're curious.
	You know, if you melt down a 50, you get this.
	It's like gold foil, and it's actual gold.
	And then we tested the purity of the gold in our mass spec laboratory that we use for food forensic testing, which is an ISO accredited laboratory.
	So you can trust our results, and here's the recoveries that we got.
	All over a hundred percent.
	The smallest was about 102% of the claimed gold recovery.
	So if you ever have to melt these down for some reason, that would be crazy.
	But if you did, you just get gold.
	But they're worth more in the gold back form.
	You know, yeah.
	Yeah, sure.
	I mean, that's I mean, that's uh that's true for just about everything, right?
	You know, you put labor and craftsmanship into something and it's worth more than the raw materials.
	Right, even like a gold coin is worth more than just raw, a raw nugget of gold.
	Well, maybe not right now.
	Um the gold market's a little crazy, right?
	That's true.
	I don't know.
	So, like on the retail side, I think that a lot of people buying gold bullion.
	What what drive people look at gold bullion as like a bunker for their wealth?
	And you know, they want to survive the financial apocalypse and then crawl out of that bunker and uh be okay.
	And people are looking at these all-time high gold prices, and they are um they're selling.
	You know, a lot of folks are selling in the United States.
	So, you know, there's there's information coming back that something like five people are selling back to dealers for every one person buying, right?
	But that's at the retail level, right?
	So the the buyers right now are central banks mostly, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	So the central banks are loading up on gold.
	Yeah, we're talking about retail in the United States.
	We're thinking about people like you and me, you know, owning gold coins.
	The average American is selling gold coins, central banks are buying it.
	That's why the price is going up.
	Right.
	The the big buying markets right now are in Asia.
	Absolutely.
	Um and I've I talked to some of uh the people I know in the gold industry that sell you know traditional coins, and they said they've got plenty of supply for people to purchase right now.
	There's not yet a retail panic.
	There's more of a central bank demand that's driving the pricing.
	And and your company with goldbacks, I mean, you haven't, you know, you haven't run out of supply of goldbacks, right?
	Oh, no, we're doing fine.
	Yeah, I think goldbacks are one of the few precious metals products right now that are still moving, and people are buying them like crazy because $8 is very affordable gold.
	We have uh a clear use case, people are spending these.
	We have thousands of businesses that take these as payment.
	It's it's an alternative currency system that's built on gold, which is a little bit different than just being a scrap bullion investor.
	Right.
	And you know, those people right now, It's you know, everybody's everybody's making their way to the door, and it's creating all sorts of liquidity problems.
	I mean, junk silver right now, which is often purported as kind of an alternative to goldbacks uh or constitutional silver.
	Um, right now it you can't even really sell it.
	Refiners aren't accepting junk silver right now.
	So there's no there's no buyers.
	All the all the prospective buyers for junk silver have basically been overwhelmed at this point.
	Refiners aren't buying it because they're opting for the high purity silver.
	They're they're opting for high purity silver.
	Someone said that you know they're like short on nitric oxide, or there's different theories on why refiners aren't buying it, or maybe they don't have cash to pay for it up front.
	But they're they're refining, you know, 999 rounds.
	Right.
	That that's really interesting because uh I understand that the silver refiners or the silver mints are running full tilt right now, producing as much silver, you know, finished coins as they can, because you know, there's a global silver supply squeeze going on right now.
	But that's it's not in the US though.
	But not in the US, right?
	That might be true, but this this the silver is leaving the US.
	It's going to London and it's going to Australia, it's going to Perth.
	Like that's what's happening in the silver markets right now.
	There's this big international squeeze.
	You're right.
	Yeah, I should have mentioned that up front.
	But uh tell me about for for people who are just finding out about goldbacks, like why why are we so thrilled about all these?
	Um can you just explain the basics again?
	Like what's the important thing about how this makes gold spendable?
	And you don't have to trust a counterparty, right?
	Like a dollar, what does it say?
	Like the full faith and credit of the broke broke ass government.
	I think that's on the bill.
	Um, you have to have faith in a broken corrupt bankrupt system.
	But for goldbacks, the gold is actually in the gold back.
	So can you just give us the basics one more time?
	Yeah.
	So a gold back, it's a thousandth of an ounce.
	The gold's in it.
	Um, people trade it, they spend it.
	It's got a dozen different anti-counterfeiting features on it that protect them from getting faked.
	And it's an alternative to kind of the old gold standard that we had.
	And you know, having studied the gold standard quite a bit, it's really interesting how it worked, because you had a $20 gold piece that was about an ounce of gold, and that was backed, you could trade it for 20 silver dollars.
	So you have the government force pegging silver and gold together.
	Or you could trade uh, you know, $20 gold piece for 2,000 copper pennies.
	So it was like a gold, silver, copper.
	Well, yeah, I mean, because it was $20 worth of copper pennies.
	That's just so funny today to think of it that way.
	It's like wizard money, right?
	You know, it's yeah, because you couldn't break an ounce of gold down into 2,000 pieces, so you had to do it with kind of these copper tokens, and that sucked up most of the copper out of the economy.
	Like it worked well before we used our copper and in uh data centers.
	Yeah, data centers and uh electrical wiring that goes all over.
	You know, now investment in copper it's like or monetary demand on copper, it's like one percent.
	Uh-huh.
	But it used to be most of the demand.
	Um I don't I don't think you can go back to like a gold, silver, copper three-way tri-metal industry, you know, force pegged thing.
	Uh you just have to make gold smaller.
	And what they did after that, because they discontinued junk silver in the 60s, is they basically said, okay, the the coinage isn't made out of silver anymore, but the bills are still redeemable for gold and the gold is still in the vault.
	So trust us, we have gold in the vault, and it's not one-to-one.
	Uh, you know, we have 40% or 20% of all the gold to back up all the notes because that's enough.
	And until until the French showed up and said, give us our gold.
	And and then, and then we just called the game off, and everybody just has notes now.
	Right.
	There's no fault anywhere.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And we still haven't audited the Fed.
	And even if we did that uh that if there's gold there, it's probably been rehypothecated like five times over.
	You know.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's just we don't we don't own it.
	I mean, probably not.
	Yeah, it's probably not even there.
	It might not even be there.
	Right.
	You know, I mean, the whole audit Fort Knox thing kind of just disappeared like smoke.
	Um, you know, No one said anything about it, you know, it kind of makes makes you raise your eyebrow.
	You know, and if you look at how silver coins were done, and this is something I learned recently, and this is super interesting.
	In the 1930s, when the government was minting silver coins, what they would do is they'd go on to the open market, they'd buy three cents worth of silver, and they'd mint it into a silver dime that they could sell or use at 10 cents.
	Yeah.
	So junk silver, when it was being created, had like a two or three hundred percent premium.
	Right.
	For a lot of the time.
	And that that premium was called the seniorage.
	It was the government's right to make money minting money.
	Because why wouldn't you make money making money?
	Now they just do it all uh digitally.
	But tell tell our audience like if someone's watching and they've got $5,000 to put into gold, and maybe they already have some silver and maybe some gold.
	Why should they uh diversify their portfolio with gold backs instead of just buying more one ounce gold coins?
	Well, if you buy a one-ounce gold coin, there's really only one thing you can do with it, and that's to sell it back for cash at some point.
	So if you go to a coin shop and you buy a one-ounce gold bar or one ounce gold coin, the only future that coin has, if it doesn't die with you, or you know, you don't die with it, is you're gonna sell it back for cash at some future date.
	You're gonna buy dollars with that gold because you can't use that gold any other way.
	And what we're doing with gold backs is we're we're making the gold itself money again.
	People are trading these, they're circulating them, they're signing up businesses that take these, people are using them at farmers' markets and garage sales, they're trading them, they're paying off debts.
	Um, and people are circulating and using gold as money in the form of goldbacks.
	So you don't necessarily have to take gold backs and turn them back into dollars.
	You can get liquidity just by using the gold backs themselves.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And I use them as tips, you know, to pay tips to service providers, as well as uh just gifts.
	So, and every time I do that, it's a conversation.
	It's uh first of all, there's excitement because everybody loves to get gold.
	And everybody loves how beautiful these are.
	I mean, the artwork on these is just absolutely gorgeous.
	And what you are seeing, I mean, look how shiny that is.
	You're actually seeing the gold.
	Can you explain that?
	How these are made so that like this isn't like paint that's gold colored.
	You know, you're looking at the gold.
	Can can you explain how that works?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So goldbacks are made through a technology called sputtering.
	Uh it's a it's a nanotechnology.
	It's the same technology that puts uh gold in microchips or or in a like a space helmet.
	Um essentially what you have is a giant machine with no air in it, it's a vacuum deposition machine, and you got a laser hitting a 50-pound gold target and it's depositing gold atom by atom on polymer as it's rolling through.
	And that gets measured in very precise amounts.
	We put a little bit extra in there, as you've seen, just to be sure we get it right, and then we sandwich it with another layer of polymer.
	So it's like a it's like a plastic sandwich that holds and protects the gold.
	Um, and there's you know, just a dozen different anti-counterfeiting features we can add during this process, um, just so people aren't seeing or encountering fake gold backs.
	So that's that's how it works.
	Okay, right.
	Um, but how is it that the gold remains visible inside this polymer sandwich?
	Because the plastic is see-through.
	Okay.
	It's like it's like a window on either side.
	And so you're seeing that looks like gold is actually gold.
	Okay, all right.
	That's really cool.
	And also um the artwork itself is quite elaborate and it celebrates the heritage of each state that it's issued for.
	Uh can you tell our audience a little bit about this artwork?
	How do you have the art even created?
	I mean, do you hire an artist?
	Obviously, I I suppose, but I mean, you tell me.
	Yeah, so we it's a multiple, there's multiple people on the team.
	We have a like a series planner, and they'll go through and they'll do research on the state, state symbols, state animals, state history.
	And we started this with Florida in earnest.
	We We build a narrative around what is the state history of Florida that's recognizable, that's famous, that's important, that's meaningful to the people here.
	And then we tell that history of Florida through time across the different goldbacks.
	So in the Florida series, we start with a conquistador at the fountain of youth, and we go all the way to the space age by the time you get to the hundred.
	Oh, wow.
	So it's like a chronology.
	I mean, it's a time wall.
	If you so people can buy a whole set and frame it and put it on the wall, too.
	Yes.
	And we sell frame sets.
	I mean, you can buy uh, yeah, you could buy like a like a frame, and you can see the you can see the whole thing.
	There's like numbered and signed frames.
	Um what a great gift for people, by the way.
	You know, if you if you want to give somebody something really amazing, just get a whole frame set of goldbacks for your state.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it would be that'd be it'd be quite a gift, you know.
	It's cost something.
	Yeah, it'll cost something, but it's it's an asset.
	Yeah.
	And we did that, we did that with Florida.
	We did it with Oklahoma, and Oklahomans were super receptive.
	They absolutely loved it.
	Um, you know, I was excited about Oklahoma finishing Oklahoma, and I I didn't really know much about Oklahoma history before before we started.
	Well, yeah, Oklahoma has uh an amazing rich history of uh also liberty and freedom, of course.
	But about Texas, I don't know if you recall, but in our last conversation, I implored you to make sure that you include the Texas Longhorn Cattle as one of the themes in the Texas gold backs.
	Is that possibly still being considered for the So that is on the Dallas note?
	So we have we have the Dallas Goldback, which is you know, it might that might end up becoming a mini-series of it uh of its own with Dallas and Houston and Austin, just like a three-piece set, but we haven't given up on doing a full Texas set.
	So you really want to do that well.
	And if if you're in Texas and you want to help us, um, what we're looking for in any state, not just Texas, is people that sign up their business on goldback.com to be a featured business that's willing to take payment in gold.
	Well, we'll advertise you for free, we'll put you on an app.
	The number one most trafficked page on goldback.com right now is people that are wanting to pay with gold, they want to shop local, they want to support local businesses.
	And you know, now we have thousands of businesses on there.
	So it's grown a lot.
	And um, and you know, also for business owners that are listening to this, think about it.
	If you accept gold backs, maybe you know, you're a restaurant owner or a gym owner or a I don't know, a hair salon or a car dealer or whatever.
	There's no reason not to take goldbacks.
	Because let's say you get paid in goldbacks.
	If you just hold on to them, they're probably gonna go up in value as of course as gold rises, but you could also sell them for fiat currency if you wanted to at the current gold back price.
	You know, um, so I mean, if you want to convert into fiat, that's your choice, right?
	So there's no risk for there's no reason not to do it.
	Yeah, it's it's it's done really well.
	And it gets people shot shopping local and it gets you out of the dollar system.
	Uh you know, gold back is a really powerful way to just reject central bank currency.
	I mean, for all the fear and all the worry there is about central bank digital currencies, it seems a little silly to me to boycott a central bank digital currency by going for a central bank physical currency instead.
	Right.
	Yeah, that's so so true.
	Well, I think the dollar is collapsing like never before.
	And we can see that actually, I'm gonna bring it up in uh gold prices.
	Uh here's gold at 4,146 right now.
	Um, just checking this website.
	Silver is at 5161, which is these are just extraordinary.
	Um, I can't say where these prices are going to be tomorrow, but the trend is showing that the dollar is collapsing very rapidly.
	So if people hold dollars, they're just losing purchasing power every day.
	It's like a hidden tax on your wealth.
	But if you're holding this form of gold, that purchasing power keeps going up every day.
	Like I said, gold backs have doubled in value since I began talking uh with you about them.
	So so here's how I think about it.
	And because inflation is is something that really messes with people's minds in terms of just how they perceive things.
	The dollar is supposed to be a measuring stick.
	Now imagine we had a measuring stick and it was a ruler, and the ruler was one foot.
	We measure everything in America in feet.
	Let's pretend for this example, that's what we do.
	But let's say that we took our universal ruler, our universal measurement for what a foot was, and we shaved a little piece off of it every year.
	Right.
	And then people started saying things like, Well, I used to live in a 2,000 square foot house, but now I live in a 2,500 square foot house.
	So my house grew.
	Right.
	And I'm still getting taller.
	I used to be, you know, five, eight, now I'm six, two, and you know maybe I'll be seven feet tall someday.
	Right.
	And it's like, okay, do we live in a world where everything is growing, or do we live in a world where we're shaving off what a foot is supposed to be?
	Totally.
	And I think that's how it works with dollars.
	I mean, are we living in a world where everything is getting more expensive, or are we living in a world where our currency is failing?
	Is it everything else's fault or just the dollar?
	Well, according to people who don't understand economics, uh, food inflation is the fault of grocery store owners.
	Right.
	Yeah, they blame everybody else, but they won't blame you know all the reckless creation of or the debasement of the US dollar.
	And you know, I look at the gold back going up, and you know, it's tempting.
	Like what my brain wants to say is, yeah, you know, the value is doubled, the value's triple, the value is quadrupled.
	The buying power of the gold back might be the same the day it was created.
	Yeah, well, and that's the role of gold and silver is to simply preserve wealth and preserve purchasing power.
	And you're right.
	You know, an ounce of gold today still buys about the same amount of physical goods or food, et cetera, that it did even 100 years ago.
	It's still about the same.
	What?
	If you measure the stock market in gold bullion, we've been in a bear market for 25 years.
	Yeah.
	2000.
	Yeah.
	So what is that?
	But what does that tell you?
	You know, I mean, how many good invests?
	So, like money is supposed to be a store of wealth.
	Supposed to be supposed to, it's supposed to be a bucket that doesn't have a hole in the bottom.
	And what they tell you, what the bankers will tell you, what the central banks will tell you is they'll say, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	We we want there to be a hole on the bottom of the bucket.
	We don't want it to be too big, but we want that hole in the bottom of the bucket because the worst thing that anyone could do is save.
	Because the economy needs you to spend, you need to invest.
	And we need money to get out, and we need it to circulate, and we we need everyone to spend and invest and grow this economy we have together.
	And if you have a leaky currency that's losing 10% plus of its value every year, unless you really need that liquidity, what kind of insane person saves?
	Everything has to be invested or you lose it.
	I was talking with one of my family members about this the other day.
	My grandparents had meticulously purchased a stocks and bonds since the 1960s.
	And just, you know, dollar cost averaging into stocks and bonds.
	And at the end of the day, as we were kind of looking back at their financial history and where they ended up uh when they passed, at the end of the day, as I said to my family member, I said, you know, they would have been just better off to buy gold the whole time.
	Just buy gold and sit on gold and don't worry about the stock market.
	Don't worry about bonds.
	Don't worry about employee discounts of your company stock, anything.
	Just buy gold and sit on it.
	You would have saved thousands of hours of effort.
	You would have saved all the reporting and the accounting and the counterparty risk, all the taxation of the benefits, et cetera.
	Just buy gold and sit on it, you would have done much better this entire time.
	And that's true for almost any era that I can think of.
	You know what?
	It I think that there's good investments out there.
	I think that there's opportunities that that people find and you know, there's a lot of growth out there to be had.
	Right now, I think what's happening is there's so much savings, or that not savings, but there's so much money that people are trying to put somewhere other than just saving it in dollars.
	And what that's doing is it's creating bubbles everywhere.
	And it it wrote erodes the value of all the possible good deals.
	You used to maybe able to make 10% plus on a rental property, and now you can make three or four percent on a lot of rental property.
	Right.
	So the risks are all still there, but the rewards are really weak.
	And a lot of these prices are only being supported all over the place because there's so much money that you know is fleeing being held because it's it's deflationary.
	And you know, that just creates a whole society full of bubbles everywhere.
	Yeah, clearly the stock market is in a massive bubble, especially certain sectors, perhaps the AI sector, uh real estate's in a bubble.
	Uh the dollar is still in a bubble itself.
	But one of my points in that though was that you know, people spend an incredible amount of time and effort to research stocks and to talk to stock advisors, financial advisors, et cetera, and they think they're making a well-informed decision to buy this you know, portfolio of stocks.
	I say in almost every case, you're better off to just buy gold and silver and sit on it, like literally.
	Because you save all the time and the worry and the sleepless nights, you know, and you save all the reporting requirements and you end the counterparty risk.
	You know, you buy gold and silver or gold backs in this form, you take delivery, it's done.
	You got it, you're sitting on it.
	You don't have to worry about is this brokerage house gonna go into default?
	Is this bank gonna fail?
	Is this currency gonna fail?
	Of course it's all gonna fail.
	It's just a matter of when I sleep better at night knowing I got gold and silver, you know, in my possession.
	Uh, some of it's vaulted, but vaulted outside the banking system grid.
	You know what I'm saying?
	I I don't trust the system.
	But vaulting is is an option.
	But does that make sense, Jeremy?
	It's like you want to sleep well at night, you know, eliminate all that risk out there.
	I I've invested in startup companies, and a lot of times that money just disappears.
	It's not liquid, it's not in a checking account.
	You you can't get it back.
	I mean, you might you might make it big and get paid someday, you might not.
	That's not really where I want all my savings.
	Right?
	I don't I don't want it in in equity.
	You know, I want I want savings I can use.
	And you know, gold back is one of those things where I own a lot of goldbacks.
	You know, I wouldn't make a product that wouldn't be good enough for myself, you know, to use it myself.
	I I own if I were to measure it in dollars, you know, probably you know, close to 200,000 dollars worth of gold backs, and they've gone from you know three, three bucks a piece to eight bucks a piece.
	They they've done their job, they've done very well.
	Well, yeah, they they're and again, what's amazing about it is because it it's based on the element of gold itself, right?
	So I want to talk about crypto too, because crypto has suffered some crazy, like just last Friday, it plunged.
	There was a crypto carnage, as it was called, and it was this massive wipeout of I don't know how many billions of dollars of so-called value just got wiped out.
	Well, um I suppose that you know the gold market can go up and down, usually not nearly as dramatically as crypto.
	But the thing that and and I'm not anti-crypto, just to be clear, but when I use a gold back or I have a gold back, I don't need a password.
	I don't need node servers to synchronize blockchains.
	I don't need to understand technology to use gold backs or just to use gold.
	It's it's a low-tech but modern solution to commerce.
	And I think there's a there's a very important role for that, especially in local commerce, like you said, uh many, many local businesses are accepting gold backs and more and more are joining all the time.
	That makes a lot of sense to me because the tech uh creates a lot of risks, like you know, risks of of losing your password or being hacked or losing your computer or whatever.
	And also the KYC aspects, right?
	So like I don't have to go through, you know, identity, I don't have to send anybody my driver's license to use gold backs.
	Talk about this.
	Yeah, no, absolutely.
	I mean, if you compare gold backs versus crypto, they I don't want to bad mouth crypto.
	I think that Bitcoin Has given people an alternative out of central banking.
	And I think there's been, you know, a lot of beneficiaries of Bitcoin.
	But if I want to go to the local diner and pay with Bitcoin, how do I do that?
	If I want to leave a tip for my waitress with Bitcoin, like how do I do that?
	Take out, take out your phone.
	I'll take out my phone.
	You need to download this thing.
	Right.
	You know, what's your what's your 40-digit wallet ID?
	What's you know, type in your 20-digit password you want to change once in a while and never ever forget.
	You know, that there is a learning curve there.
	And you know, when you can just hand somebody a gold back and they can visually see that they're getting something of value and they can sense that value perception and they got the lure of gold working for it.
	Um there's something very universal about it and very simple.
	Um, you know, if you're sending money to the Bahamas from New York, you know, you might want to use Bitcoin for something like that.
	Um, you know, if you're at the dealership and you're buying a truck, you know, I you could you could use goldbacks for that.
	They they work for big purchases and small purchases.
	Yeah, that's that's really important.
	And also I want to talk about the international appeal of gold because many, many cultures around the world, I would say most historically, you know, we're talking about India.
	We're talking about uh Persia, uh China, uh, even modern day like Thailand, etc.
	They they culturally they recognize the value of gold.
	And in many of these cultures, they they store their gold wealth on their in their jewelry, the things they wear.
	They're actually wearing like their retirement fund, you know, sometimes or yeah, no, I I was just having this conversation with someone earlier today.
	And in India, which isn't which isn't a place that really protects women that well by Western standards, men are not legally allowed to take jewelry from their wives.
	Wow.
	So if they're if they're wearing gold, that's their gold.
	That that gold belongs to the woman.
	If something happens to the man, you know, he can't earn income or anymore.
	You know, the woman can sell her gold and and and you know, feed the kids or whatever.
	But you're right, they they wear their wealth in India.
	Uh and in a lot of these countries, that's that's the culture and that's the norm.
	And you know, it's it's fractional gold.
	You know, it's just little piercings, necklaces, you know, uh little links that they can break off.
	Um they can go in and sell it for cash by the gram.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And or pay with gold directly.
	And we don't really quite have that culture in in the United States.
	We we're a little bit more divorced from our gold.
	Uh, yeah, we had the copper pennies and the silver coins, and if you were really rich, you could have a gold coin, but you could also have notes for them instead.
	Um but in the US, at least we we do have a rule that husbands had better not take the gold off their wife, or they're gonna get a beatdown.
	So, like that that's the USA rule.
	So never take your wife's gold.
	That's that's that's a Western rule.
	In India, it's a crime.
	It's a crime.
	In America, it's a beating with with like a rolling pin, you know, or something.
	Uh okay, but everybody universally recognizes the value of gold.
	And so can you tell us about sort of the international activity surrounding goldbacks?
	Like, because I'm always giving them out to people uh who travel, like my friend Michael Young.
	He lives, I mean, he well, I don't know where he lives.
	He keeps traveling, but he's been in Japan uh a lot.
	He spent a lot of time there.
	I gave him, I don't know, a couple of stacks of these ones, and he goes to Japan and he gives them out to people all over Japan, everywhere he goes.
	And but tell us, like, are you hearing stories like that about the international distribution?
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, no, I mean, we we get data, we can see where people are visiting our website from.
	And it used to be that, you know, one or two percent of our traffic was outside of the country.
	Now it's closer to 10%.
	So it's it's grown a lot.
	And you know, we have a few dealers out in places like the UK, and it used to be that you know that sell you know a couple thousand dollars worth of gold backs a week or whatever, and now they're doing five, ten times that um we've got we've got a group in Australia that wants to build up a network and and launch an Australian gold back project.
	Oh, that sounds great.
	Um we've got a group in Canada that wants to do the same thing in Alberta.
	Um so we're we're seeing just uh we've got members in cabinets and presidencies um all throughout Latin and South America that are looking at goldbacks and trying to figure out how to you know maybe get gold backs in their country.
	So I mean the amount of interest is is really going up um as we grow.
	And you know, I mean we're we're still early in this.
	We've only been in this for about six years.
	And in six years, we have millions of users, we've got a third of a billion dollars worth of gold backs out there, and we've got four hundred uh distributors that sell to the public.
	You know, gold back itself is a wholesaler.
	I don't I don't I don't sell you a gold back.
	I mean, you have to buy from somebody else that I sell to.
	Right, right.
	I mean, those are some really fascinating metrics.
	And uh just for the audience, let me give out our website again.
	It's verified goldbacks.com.
	If you want to purchase goldbacks, just go there, verified goldbacks.com, and you can click here to purchase them.
	Uh, we do earn a small percentage as an affiliate, which helps support our network and our technology.
	And speaking of that, um, I want to mention, Jeremy, that you know, we we just released our AI engine called the Enoch.
	Um tell me about gold backs and how they preserve value.
	Okay.
	I'm I'm gonna type this in to our engine because our engine has been trained on our interviews.
	So here it is.
	It's talking about here's the answer.
	Ah, look at that.
	Goldbacks are a unique and innovative form of alternative currency that have the potential to preserve value in a way, etc.
	They're they're backing by physical gold, scarcity, divisibility, decentralization, and privacy makes them an attractive option for those seeking to preserve their wealth.
	Um, it gives a a bad domain name there, though.
	That's that's a hallucination.
	Um, but it talks about you know, all the things that you have taught our audience through our interviews, and then we trained it on our speech, and now our AI engine knows what goldbacks are.
	How cool is that?
	That's really cool.
	There's something else your AI engine should know.
	You asked me earlier, and I didn't I didn't finish.
	Um, there's a team that puts the goldbacks together.
	So there's there's a researcher and they they put together the state history and and the story, and they they lay they lay it out, and we actually pull in dozens of people that are native to a given state.
	And if anybody lives, you know, in Arkansas or Alabama or Texas or whatever, and they want to get involved in this, you know, you should you should reach out because we have a focus group for every state uh that we do, and we'll run these designs by focus groups and make sure it resonates with the people there.
	Uh we have a team doing that, and then we have an artist who's been an artist for 25 years, so they're very good.
	They've had a consistent style for 25 years, and they do a phenomenal his name's Paul Peterson.
	He does a phenomenal job um drawing the designs that go on the goldbacks.
	So he's in Florida and Oklahoma, and he's also doing Arizona, which is coming out.
	The artwork truly is amazing.
	And I I hear comments from people all the time about the artwork.
	I mean, they they they when they get a gold back, they look at it very closely, like, wow, I never noticed.
	Like that's amazing.
	You know, um you can spend a lot of time checking out the artwork on these.
	And that I mean, that's that's all part of the the culture and the history, which includes the history of money, the history of value.
	And you know, I think Jeremy, we're living through a historical collapse of the dollar.
	So history is going to be, you know, it's being reformed in real time, but I don't think the dollar is going to be part of our future history in its current form.
	You know, they maybe they'll call it the dollar, but it's gonna have to be reset or relaunched or something.
	And undoubtedly the people who are holding dollars are gonna get royally screwed in that reset because that's what always happens throughout history.
	Over Over the last hundred years, the dollar has lost 99% of its value.
	Exactly.
	And we used to have a thousand dollar bill and a $500 bill, and they scrapped both of those.
	That's interesting.
	So the $100 bill is so common now.
	Because, you know, that's all we that's all we got for you know anything that's even kind of upper denomination.
	But then you're not going to be a $100 bill is just you could you could use to get five gold coins with a hundred dollar bill.
	Wow.
	That's that's that's I mean, for context, that's like $20,000.
	So yeah, that's incredible.
	Well, we've lost I mean, by that metric, we've lost 99 and a half percent of the purchasing power of the dollar versus gold just over the last hundred years.
	Um all by design.
	I mean, that's that's the way the system works.
	It extracts wealth from the population, and it it works because people keep using the dollar currency.
	So people keep using it.
	And you think, oh, well, you know, I want to use it while it's around and I want to rip people off as long as they take dollars.
	Like, well, why do you want to rip people off?
	You know, you could just use gold, and then everybody benefits.
	You benefit because you're holding gold in the form of goldbacks, your neighbor benefits because you're paying them something that keeps its value.
	All of that money stays in your community, and you you get to do it in a way that's convenient in private.
	You know, the entire well, the there's an effort underway to make gold spendable in other various ways.
	For example, in Texas, a new law was already passed and signed by the governor that they say by the spring of 2027, so you know, almost a year and a half away, if it's on schedule, that you could take physical gold to the Texas depository and then you could deposit it there, and then they would issue you a state run debit card, which would of course track your purchases.
	But when you spend money on the debit card, they then redeem your gold to cover the expenditure.
	So on the positive side, they're trying to make physical gold spendable through a digital system that is kind of commonly accepted by all the merchants.
	You see what I mean?
	So it's yeah, and that that exists already.
	I mean, there's there are many companies that that basically do that same thing.
	The problem with that is essentially what you have happening is the merchant isn't receiving gold, they're receiving dollars.
	Yeah, true.
	You're still selling the you're still using dollars just with extra steps.
	Um and it's an improvement because at least your savings are protected.
	Right.
	But you know, you you don't need the state government to be involved in finance.
	I wouldn't want the state of Texas running my bank.
	Yeah, I don't want government and private industry at all.
	I I think that the fact that the Texas bullion depository, that the private contractors that run it were pushing that bill.
	I mean, I I think they're basically just rent-seeking.
	Um, that okay, that that's interesting.
	I might push back a little bit on that in the sense that I if let's say if if I'm a person in Texas sitting on a stack of gold, and right now it's hard for me to go spend gold coins, right?
	Uh at the at the restaurant or wherever.
	I could buy gold backs and I could use those directly if the restaurant is willing to accept them and more and more will, so that's a positive trend.
	But for places that maybe won't accept that yet, or haven't seen gold backs yet, I could take that gold coin to the depository.
	I could then get a debit card, but I'm not gonna put all my gold in there, right?
	I'm just gonna put in there like what I'm gonna spend this month on a digital card, you know, a debit card.
	But the the downside to that is I don't want the state tracking my purchases.
	That's the issue for me.
	It's the privacy of it.
	You know, my I just don't I just don't think the state belongs in the private sector.
	I agree with it.
	Companies like Atmex already provide this service and they have virtually no spreads.
	So if you just want to have like a bullion bank and you want to sell your bullion to buy things, there's already a lot of options on on the free market that that are available for that.
	I mean, Alpine Gold does that too, and they have a 0% spread for up to $10,000 in a 30-day period.
	And they do gold eagles and gold back accounts.
	And they have a debit card.
	Oh, I didn't know they had a debit card.
	Well, I should do that.
	Not that I use debit cards Very much, but occasionally I do.
	But you can you can also just kick it back and ACH it or wire it back to your account and use a credit card if you want.
	So there's lots of options because not everywhere takes goldbacks yet.
	Right.
	And if you want, I mean, that's what I do.
	I mean, the the all the goldbacks that I mentioned that I have, all of those are sitting at Alpine Gold.
	I could liquidate up to $10,000 with a gold backs in a 30-day period with no spread, and there's no vaulting fees on it.
	See, that that makes a lot of sense because I want my savings in metals.
	Okay.
	I want to be sitting on gold and silver.
	I don't want my savings in the dollar, and I don't trust the banks, and I don't trust the stock market, and I don't trust treasuries.
	And it's like, well, what's left?
	Gold and silver, you know.
	And maybe bullets and land.
	I don't know.
	Lead.
	Yeah, I mean, I I like that there's more and more private companies getting involved with um privately vaulted gold accounts.
	Because at the very least, you have choices.
	I I think if you had the state um running through all the transactions with gold and watching everything, that's it's it's it's it's too eerily similar to a central bank digital currency where they can unplug people and see everything.
	It's like, yeah, it's it's better because at least it's not losing to inflation, but it's it still kind of rhymes with the central bank digital currency in the sense that I I don't think governments have a great track history for defending liberty you know, I I would trust the private sector over a government any day.
	Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm right there with you on that uh as well.
	Okay, so in just just in putting an end cap on this interview, you've got new activity in Arizona.
	You're you're working on a soft rollout in Texas, it's already happened actually.
	And then uh Florida was rolled out earlier this year.
	Is there any other news or other states that you want to mention?
	You kind of mentioned you might be working on Arkansas.
	If you if you want to get a gold back in your state, because people ask this all the time, they say, how do I get a gold back here?
	You can sign up your business on goldback.com.
	If you sign up another business in your community, in your town, in your state, we see all of that activity.
	We want to make gold back series where there's active communities around the goldbacks.
	So if you develop those communities, we'll come to your state faster.
	Um is how that's gonna work.
	And we're willing to give you something for it.
	In fact, if you're listening to this interview, um, and you decide to sign up your business to take goldbacks in the referral code, you should put health ranger so I can give Mike Adams credit, and we will send you a graded silver back, which is kind of a fun product we make, they're worth maybe 60, 70 bucks.
	Um, we'll send you a graded silver back.
	And if you sign up other businesses in your community, we'll give you a graded silver back for each of those businesses if you're the referr.
	No kids.
	That's that's kind of our referral program for building out the the business network now.
	Wow.
	So you can actually just earn silver by convincing other businesses to accept more money forms.
	I mean, everybody wins.
	I mean, there's no downside.
	Yeah, we'll advertise the business for free, we'll put it on our app, we'll verify that's a real business, and then we'll send you a uh silver collectible for going through the trouble.
	And if we end up circling around and getting to your state, we have another program called a limited early release.
	Um and that's we only do a few thousand per state.
	Uh the ones we're doing for Arizona are the three denomination, so it's kind of just like a fun denomination.
	And what we're doing is every business that's signing up in Arizona is they're not just they're not getting a silver back, they're getting a limited early release, which is like a $300 product for signing up, and the refer is also getting a $300 product.
	So we want to build up these big networks.
	Well, if you're in Alaska, just to use an example, or you're in Texas, we'll send you that silver back now.
	But when we circle around and actually do Texas later, we'll give you a Texas limited early release and so the refer a Texas limited early release and the business, a Texas limited early release too.
	Wow.
	So if you have a knack for if you know business owners, if you if you're good at talking to people, if you have a network, you know, we're we're you're looking at you know hundreds of dollars worth of products per business that's being referred.
	Someone could theoretically just work for gold back full-time and and earn these kind of rewards setting up these networks.
	No kidding.
	Um And if they need to, they can sell goldbacks back through alpine gold for fiat currency too, correct?
	Oh, sure.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	It's very liquid.
	They're liquid.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you're you're you're looking at a you know a very modest spread on goldbacks, but it it's very rare that I you know, if if you're buying involting goldbacks with alpine gold, your spread is zero percent.
	Wow.
	And by the way, goldbacks, you know, cryptocurrency jumps and then it crashes.
	I think Bitcoin's crashed by 80% six or seven times.
	Yeah.
	The gold back has nothing similar to that.
	It's it's been most steady, you know, path up the last six years.
	Um, let me let me ask you a different question.
	Okay, because now I have some personal interest in this.
	Um, but there may be listeners who also want to ask, like, what if there's um uh uh a nation or uh a finance minister of a nation listening, or a company like our company, like a Health Ranger store.
	What would it take to have like a customized goldback issued for a nation or a corporation or a nonprofit or an entity?
	Like how what how big of a run would be necessary, or do you even offer that?
	Would you work with somebody to issue like custom goldbacks of a special theme?
	You know, we we did that, we did that one time, and that's the Dallas Gold back, which is you know our first product in Texas, it's kind of our beach head for getting the Texas gold back set up.
	Uh and that was with Texas Precious Metals.
	They sponsored the series, they put a huge amount of money into it just because I mean their whole brand is Texas.
	Right.
	Right?
	They don't want to sell Oklahoma gold backs, they want to sell, they want to sell a Texas-based product, right?
	Um, and they want to get goldbacks into Texas sooner rather than later.
	So I I see the the current the current gold back in Texas is the way to do that uh and to build that.
	So it's not that we don't do partnerships and that we're not interested.
	Um, you know, we want to do it in a way that is can um doesn't cheapen, I guess, the gold back brand.
	Uh-huh.
	Um but you know, we are looking at doing foreign projects as well.
	So, you know, we've got multiple foreign projects that are cooking right now.
	So if people are interested and they have the resources, you know, I'm we we do we do business with a lot of different people.
	Okay, but it it's got to be done at scale, I would imagine.
	It's not like buying a custom coffee mug, you know.
	Um it's it's probably I mean, I can imagine a massive effort to tool up new artwork, new production for some kind of new thing.
	But I would think that there would be nations interested in this, especially uh as currency collapse seems to be increasingly likely in certain areas.
	And you know, economic stability, I I think that goldbacks locally would bring back uh uh commerce stability at the local level following a crash, you know.
	It it seems like an obvious stabilizer to me.
	Yeah, we we've had we've had foreign central banks reach out, believe it or not.
	I mean, there's a lot of interest, and I think that before too many years, you're you're going to start seeing this technology used by foreign central banks more and more.
	Um because you know, if you're if you're a foreign central bank, you have gold reserves, nobody trusts the hey, here's a token, here's a here's a here's a bill that says you have gold somewhere else.
	You know, that trust has been broken.
	You can't do that again.
	And you know, Zimbabwe, I mean, they recently made these itty bitty teeny tiny gold coins that are kind of a joke because they're still too much value.
	And people there are broke, you know.
	I mean, you you're living in a country where people make a dollar, two dollars a day.
	They can't afford a gold coin.
	But half gold back would be kind of perfect, or even a quarter gold back if I can figure out how to make them.
	Yeah.
	Wow, a quarter of a thousandth of a uh a troy ounce.
	Four thousandth of an ounce.
	It would be it'd be tiny, it'd be like business card size.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	Because yeah, that would require a lot of uh precision on the vacuum deposition tech, I would imagine.
	Yeah, we're we're we're always working to make the gold back better.
	They they trade at double spot and it costs money to split them into a thousand pieces.
	Yeah.
	Um They consistently trade at double spot.
	And you know, we take that as gold prices go up and we reinvest that money into making the product better all the time.
	This year we added a half gold back, which is a new lower denomination.
	It's, you know, otherwise our lowest denomination would be eight bucks.
	So we have a four dollar product still.
	Well, hey, if if the Trump administration uh revalues gold at $25,000 an ounce, which some people theorize, then you know you might have like one tenth of one one thousandth of an ounce gold package.
	We might.
	I mean, that that might happen.
	And we're we're looking at ways long term that we could do those types of things.
	But it obviously helps if gold prices are higher.
	Yes.
	Um, and you know, for having a private gold money system.
	It used to be that 40% of the gold was in the system.
	It was probably more like 20.
	Um we do a gold money system cheaper than anybody else has ever done.
	We have the cheapest thousandth of an ounce gold product on the market.
	Uh, we have the cheapest one two thousandth of an ounce gold product on the market.
	Even higher denominations can be spot for lower ones.
	Uh I I'm really proud of how much value we deliver for what gold backs cost.
	Very cool.
	Well, we have a lot of satisfied customers who purchase and use and share and give as gifts, uh, gold backs and lots of other uses.
