All right, folks, welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News.
Hope you had a great weekend.
It's Monday, October 27th, 2025.
And I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me.
I've got some shocking new technology to share with you here.
I'm going to demo it for you in just a minute.
Also, a reminder that I am not doing any new interviews this week because we are moving our studio to the new studio.
We've made tons of progress on that already.
I think actually we're way ahead of schedule.
We have it like 85% done, you know, the move.
So we'll be back up and running next week.
However, I do have an interview from last Thursday, which is a new decentralized TV episode.
And I'm going to be playing that for you tomorrow.
And that's with Aaron Day.
So I think you'll really enjoy that DTV episode.
Also, I've got analysis for you today of how rapidly automated systems are replacing humans in the labor force and the workplace for cognitive jobs, you know, not just physical jobs, but also some additional information about how to insulate yourself from that, how to always have a job, in other words.
And also how AI augmentation of human jobs is going to change a lot in the workplace in the coming years.
We've got that.
And then there's breaking news about Russia announcing a new weapon system that completely evades all U.S. air defenses or anti-air defenses.
So that's coming up here as well.
And I don't know, some additional updates about the war on Russia, Trump seemingly backing off of punishing China on November 1st.
You know, hey, it's Trump Taco Tuesday on a Monday.
I mean, yeah, because taco means Trump always chickens out, right?
So yeah, Trump backed off punishing China yet again, just like we've gotten used to.
At first when he threatened China with 100% tariffs, like I ran out and bought more shoes because they're made in China, you know.
Now, can't fool me again, Trump.
Every time he says something bad about China, I'm like, yeah, whatever.
You're going to reverse that in about 10 days or less because that's what he always does.
So we'll cover that a little bit coming up.
Okay, I've got some really interesting things to demo for you, but I want to mention first about one of the ways that tech companies, in this case, we're talking about Amazon, how they are using technology to get their humans to replace themselves by training robots accidentally, let's say, or without their knowledge.
So Amazon delivery drivers who mostly work for independent companies, you know, the delivery companies are actually sort of independently owned and they get paid per package fee by Amazon.
Even though they drive around Amazon vans, those aren't usually owned by Amazon.
But some of the drivers are being asked to wear these special glasses, these augmented reality glasses.
And it's said that the glasses help drivers navigate delivery pathways and things like that.
You know, maybe there's, I don't know all the details, but maybe there's pop-up information like you're at the wrong address, you know.
Beware of the dog.
But in reality, I think that what's happening is that these glasses are recording what the humans are doing.
That is part of their job is to record the successful delivery of the package so that customers can't claim, you know, you didn't deliver it and then try to get free stuff, which is very unethical.
But these videos are going to be used, in my opinion, to train robots on how to make Amazon deliveries.
So this is actually, you know, the perfect plot from Amazon's point of view.
They give these glasses to the human delivery drivers to say, hey, this will make your job easier.
But actually, it's hoovering up all the data about how to deliver to different addresses so that they can train the robots to replace the humans.
So be careful or be aware of the fact that a lot of AI augmentation technologies today are actually data gathering systems in order to replace humans.
And if you think about it, Tesla has done this with its vehicles.
Every Tesla vehicle that's driving around the country is gathering data like crazy and is gathering data because of the human effort of driving.
So even when the Tesla vehicle is not driving itself, it's still tracking what the human is doing.
And through that, it's learning how humans navigate roads and exit ramps and construction and whatever else.
That information is being used to train future full self-driving software that's going to power Tesla vehicles.
So in essence, Tesla is exploiting the human cognition of driving and using that to train future self-driving Tesla vehicles.
Now, a similar thing is happening with Suno.
So Suno is a great music creation engine.
I've used it and I plan on using it again later this year as soon as I get a break from other stuff.
I love using Suno actually.
I love to make music with it.
And they just released a version 5, apparently, that's even better.
I haven't even tried it yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
However, Suno, if you're wondering, how do they train their model to get better and better and better at creating music?
Well, in the world of AI training, there's something called human reinforcement learning, where humans judge whether a result from an AI prompt, whether the result is good or bad, kind of like a thumbs up or a thumbs down.
And if it's bad, then that information is used to penalize that output.
And if it's good, that's used to reward the engine for the correct output.
And then that causes the engine to do more things like the ones that get the thumbs up.
And that's why it's called a human reinforcement feedback learning or reinforcement learning, just for short.
So reinforcement learning is one of the secrets of how to train AI.
Well, what Suno does, if you think about it, when you generate songs on Suno, and then you listen to the songs that it generated, and you might have to generate 50 or 100 songs on your theme in order to get one that you like.
Well, in your interface, you are clicking thumbs up and thumbs down.
If you click thumbs down on a song, then that song disappears from your timeline.
So it's not so cluttered.
So you want to click thumbs down on the songs that suck to get them off the screen.
And then you want to click thumbs up on the good songs to keep them there so they stay in your song list.
So if you think about it, what Suno is doing is they've got millions of users all over the world that are clicking thumbs up or thumbs down, which is, of course, human reinforcement learning.
So that's what's powering.
I mean, it's genius.
Actually, they're using humans as the training force.
But the humans are paying to be, you know, subscribers, to be customers.
But the humans are giving feedback that Suno is using to train its engine to be even better.
And that's why Suno keeps getting better and better and better.
You know, a year ago, when I would put in prompts in Suno and I would have to do like 50 versions, you know, to get one that didn't totally suck.
Now, at least from what I've seen from other people using it, because I haven't been using it a lot lately.
But now you might only have to render like two or three songs and one of them is really awesome.
So Suno has done some really incredible things to improve the quality of their output.
All right, now let's take that to something that involves you and me.
And of course, you know, my mission is to help empower people with knowledge and to help decentralize human knowledge and to make it freely available to people.
Things like cancer cures and how to prevent disease with nutrition and how to be more informed about asset protection, privacy protection, you know, how to be a more free and more informed, healthier, wealthier, more abundant, and happier individual.
These are my goals.
And of course, I'm using AI in order to accomplish that.
And I've been sharing this with you a couple of weeks ago.
I began using AI vibe coding to see if I could generate a new version of censored.news.
And I just wanted to see if the AI was at a point where I could use a 100% AI development team with no humans to build and to run the website censored.news.
And you saw the early versions, they were kind of, they crashed a lot, etc.
But if you go to censored news right now, I've got some major new things to announce.
Now I'm coming to realize, and I think you'll see this, that things have changed dramatically.
Censored news is kicking butt in ways that you may not have anticipated.
I'm going to demo something for you here shortly.
Well, in fact, let me just do it right now.
So I put an audio narration engine on Censored.news last week.
And if you clicked play on the audio file there in the last week or so, you heard it kind of read a scripted version of the news.
And it would read you the highlights and the implications of the news in the same male voice.
And it was a little bit, you know, monotone, a little bit boring, a little bit difficult to listen to, although a lot of people liked it.
But I thought, you know, I can do a lot better.
And what I have to demo for you today is the new audio delivery of today's emerging news trends from Censored.news, which spiders over 78 independent media websites now, and that number keeps growing.
But now I've turned it into a dialogue podcast that's a lot more fun to hear.
And it's a conversation between a man and a woman that they cover the news.
Okay.
So I want you to give this a listen because this is what's updated now every 30 minutes on censored.news and it's updated with all the new emerging headlines across all the different areas that we cover.
So check this out.
Hey, everyone, welcome back to Censored.news on this fine Monday.
We've got some really fascinating stuff today.
So thank you for joining us.
Let's dive right in.
First up, have you heard about these three Icelandic mosquitoes that are supposedly climate-proof?
Nova, what's your take on this?
You know, Rhys, it's not just about these mosquitoes.
It's a symptom of a larger issue.
We're seeing this trend of oversimplifying complex climate phenomena to fit a narrative.
These mosquitoes might be more heat resistant, but that doesn't mean they're climate-proof.
They could still be wiped out by other climate-related factors, like changes in precipitation patterns or habitat loss.
Exactly.
And it's not just mosquitoes.
Big tech's been going nuts with climate data too.
Zillow's labeling homes with extreme flood risk, and now they're getting sued for it.
People are losing money, and it's all based on what exactly.
Nova, can you shed some light on this?
Well, Rhys, the issue here is the lack of transparency and accountability.
Zillow is using proprietary models that they won't disclose, so homeowners can't even challenge the assessments.
And get this, according to a study by the University of Pennsylvania, these models often overestimate flood risk, leading to homeowners paying higher insurance premiums or even being denied mortgages.
That's crazy.
And you know what?
It's not just Zillow.
We're seeing this trend across the board, from insurance companies to real estate platforms.
They're all using these black box models to make decisions that can ruin people's lives.
Right.
And it's not just about the money, Reese.
It's about trust.
People need to trust the data they're basing their decisions on.
But how can they when they don't even know how it's being generated?
Speaking of trust, what about these green energy price controls?
Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
All right, there you go.
I just played two minutes of that for you.
Now, that's all automated.
And of course, those are not real people.
Those are AI-generated voices.
And you also, something very interesting that you just heard there, you heard them discuss skepticism about the climate change narrative, right?
You would not hear that from any mainstream AI engine such as ChatGPT or Google or Microsoft or whatever.
This dialogue, this podcast, is generated based on our AI engine, which of course is trained on climate reality because climate change is a hoax, obviously.
Carbon dioxide is not dangerous to the planet.
It's critical.
It's critical for photosynthesis, obviously.
So if you want news now delivered in a conversational podcast format, you can get it at censored.news and it's updated every 30 minutes automatically.
Yes, there's a new audio file there every 30 minutes.
Now, a couple of things to keep in mind.
There may be things that this podcast says that you or even I may not necessarily agree with because, well, we're still nailing down the whole process and sort of polishing it.
So, if you use it over the next couple of days, there could be little glitches here and there.
Like, sometimes it will pronounce indications like the word pause, you know, where the speaker is supposed to pause, but then the speaker will actually say pause.
And then, you know, so it's kind of funny.
But understand that this is quite an accomplishment.
So, now you'll be able to get the news in a podcast format.
And the way I've built this is that we can use it actually to generate podcasts about anything about, you know, healing foods and nutrition and herbs and breakthroughs and clean energy or whatever.
And so, now that I spent quite a bit of time building this out, based on our extraordinary data set, by the way, which I spent the last two years, you know, pulling together, curating it, now we can produce instantly we can produce podcasts and we can produce interviews.
Also, interviews on any subject.
It's kind of interesting because this is the week that I'm not doing interviews, but I am generating interviews with non-humans.
And I want to demonstrate that for you here also.
So, here's what I did.
I'm about to play some audio for you that is, again, auto-generated.
And this also just shows how advanced AI text-to-voice is becoming, or text-to-speech, TTS, how advanced our engine has become in its knowledge, because our engine is also writing the script.
Okay.
And then the characters are performing it.
And the characters are based on voices that we can modify.
You know, we can change pitch or speed.
And just to demonstrate that, I decided to do an interview here for you on the topic of why coffee is good for your liver.
And I wanted, well, at first, I started out with two, like an interviewer named Briggs.
And then I thought I would have kind of like a nutrition scientist named Cyrus to answer the questions and, you know, to do an interview with Cyrus.
And then the first time I heard the audio, I was like, oh, these two dudes, they sound too much the same.
And it's kind of hard to distinguish who is saying what.
So I changed Cyrus to an Indian woman, which is actually very appropriate because there are a lot of Indian scientists in the world of botany and plants, plant chemistry, etc.
In fact, India is one of the largest repositories of published scientific data on that subject.
I know because I've used a lot of that to train our model.
So it's actually kind of fitting.
So I ended up using an English voice with an Indian accent as a woman, but her name is still Cyrus because I haven't changed that part yet.
And I think Briggs refers to her as a he occasionally, which is kind of funny.
But again, this is just a demonstration to show you what's possible.
And then I'm going to polish this up more throughout the week and give you some other demonstrations of this.
But I just want to show you or play for you a little bit of this interview because it's really quite extraordinary.
And remember that what you're about to hear is not generated by ChatGPT, not generated by Grok.
It's generated by our Brighton AI model, which is currently called Enoch, that you can use for free at brightyou.ai.
You can go there now and you can use it.
And you can ask it to generate interview scripts because that's all I did.
And it generates the following interview, of course, along with all of our knowledge base and everything.
But here's a couple of minutes from this interview to show you what's possible.
Here we go.
Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, depending on where you are in the world.
Welcome back to another episode of Censored.news Focus.
I'm your host, Briggs, and today we have a fascinating topic that's sure to perk you up.
Literally, we're diving deep into the science of coffee and its surprising health benefits, especially for your liver.
Joining me all the way from the bustling city of Seattle is Dr. Cyrus Morgan, a renowned scientist and expert in nutritional biochemistry.
Dr. Morgan, thanks for joining us today.
Thank you, Briggs.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Now, I know what you're thinking, coffee.
Really?
I thought it was just a pick-me-up in the morning.
Well, today we're going to explore the fascinating world of coffee and its impact on our health.
Let's start with the basics, Doc.
What makes coffee so special?
And how does it benefit our livers?
Great question, Briggs.
Coffee is more than just a beverage.
It's a complex mixture of thousands of compounds, many of which are antioxidants.
These antioxidants, like chlorogenic acid and cephestol, have powerful effects on our bodies.
One of the most significant benefits is their ability to protect the liver from damage caused by toxins and inflammation.
Wow, that's amazing.
So, coffee is like a little soldier marching into our livers and protecting them from harm.
But why the liver?
What's so special about that organ?
The liver is our body's primary detoxification organ.
It processes and neutralizes harmful substances like alcohol, drugs, and environmental toxins.
However, this process can generate reactive oxygen species, which can damage liver cells.
Coffee's antioxidants help combat this oxidative stress, promoting liver health and function.
Hold on a second, Doc.
I want to make sure I understand this.
So, coffee helps our livers deal with all the nasty stuff we put into our bodies, right?
Exactly, Briggs.
And it's not just about protecting the liver.
Coffee consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of liver diseases, such as fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and even liver cancer.
Studies have shown that people who drink coffee have a lower prevalence of these conditions.
For instance, a study published in the journal Hepatology found that coffee consumption was associated with a lower risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer.
That's incredible.
All right, there you go.
That's just a couple of minutes from the coffee interview.
What's the that's oh my god, that's a 23-minute interview.
Why did I render the whole thing?
Geez, I'm gonna have to change some of the prompts on that one.
It's a little too long, but you get the idea, right?
So I built these characters, and again, you know, I use AI to write all the code to do this.
So, this isn't some online service that anybody can use.
It's just something I'm doing on the back end right now.
And you may notice that Cyrus, the Indian scientist person with a weird male name, she would start to cite studies.
Well, that's because that's what I want her to do.
So, I gave the person doing the interview, Briggs, I gave him a personality that's a little bit more like my personality.
When I'm interviewing people, I like to joke around a little bit, like to be more casual, and I like to have reactions like, whoa, are you serious?
You know, you're kidding me.
That's crazy.
Tell me more, you know.
And then I wanted the Indian scientist character to be more like data from Star Trek, you know, Star Trek next generation.
A little bit more like, well, Spock from the original Star Trek.
So, more just rational, matter-of-fact, not joking around because she's a scientist, you know, so she's supposed to give us the science.
And she's citing medical studies and statistics and things like that.
And again, that's that's exactly the way that I wanted this to go.
But the thing is that her knowledge is based on all of the data that I've put together over the last couple of years.
So, when she speaks, she's actually speaking with the knowledge of the whole history of the natural news website.
She's garnering knowledge from hundreds of millions of pages of content, articles of many other websites, various science papers and science paper abstracts, transcripts.
I mean, we're talking about many, many gigabytes of knowledge and text data that's gone into the knowledge alteration of the base model of the AI.
So, when Cyrus speaks, she's actually speaking with a tremendous amount of knowledge, more knowledge than any human could have access to, which is really interesting.
And in some ways, maybe a little spooky, too, right?
I mean, I don't know.
What do you think?
But I wanted to demonstrate this for you for a couple of reasons because, you know, you are right now, you are seeing that on the internet, in terms of videos, for example, if you go to YouTube, at this point, right now, the vast majority of videos are AI-generated content.
They are not humans.
They're not people talking.
And in fact, it's infuriating to me when I'm on YouTube or if I'm trying to catch like, you know, judging liberty with Judge Napolitano or something, because I want to hear from real humans.
You know, I want to hear from intelligent people.
I don't want to hear some AI robot telling me about Russia, you know, because that doesn't work for breaking news in geopolitics.
You know, look, an AI robot's great for knowledge of herbs and cancer cures and things like that because that's knowledge that it always exists.
But in geopolitics and in war and so on, I mean, that's changing every half day, it seems.
And I want a human person there who can actually give me their insights about what's going on or what just changed in the last 12 hours.
So if I'm looking for those kinds of interviews and then there's just a bunch of AI slop showing up, you know, I don't want to hear that stuff.
Now, that's different with our AI engine.
I do like to hear censored.news.
I actually, I'd love to hear it even before we made this upgrade, but now I want to hear it even more.
Why?
Because it's trained on all the content that you and I that we know and that we trust, because this represents our worldview.
You know, we understand that vaccines are dangerous.
We understand there's a depopulation agenda.
We understand there are cancer cures that are suppressed, you know, on and on.
Well, all of that knowledge goes into this audio now.
So when you listen at censored.news, you are listening to something absolutely unique in the world.
There's no other website, not even Washington Post or New York Times or Wall Street Journal.
Nobody has put together something this advanced that, especially that's trained on reality as we are trained on reality.
You know, our engine.
And as a result, I am going to, after further refinement, I'm going to put out these interviews on interesting subjects where people who have, or I should say, characters who have special knowledge in areas can exceed my knowledge because, you know, I'm human.
I can't remember as much as our AI system.
So I am going to put out interviews on these subjects that will be great reference items.
And I would like to listen to a lot of them myself because I know where they're coming from.
I know that they have alignment with our knowledge and our worldview.
Whereas I would not listen to AI slop from the New York Times because I know it's just going to repeat the same globalist agenda propaganda garbage or even the Wall Street Journal or whatever.
Or if it's the Washington Post, it's just like a CIA bot.
Who wants to hear that?
That's just a bunch of fake narratives.
Who cares?
You want the real world news, come to censored.news, and we'll bring it to you now in different formats coming up.
So yes, you're going to be able to find interviews there.
Yes, you'll be able to find various podcasts and so on.
There's a lot more coming.
But as of today, you have seen the preview and you've heard it.
You've heard how good it is.
And it's only going to get better from here.
Even now, it's still very, very good.
I mean, those voices are just extraordinary.
And what they're saying is, you know, highly, highly knowledgeable information.
So a lot more coming there.
Back to the website censored.news over the weekend.
I added a new category called food.
So if you click on food on the homepage, you will see the emerging trends and articles on things like food and farming, etc.
Now, because I just added the food category, it's going to have a little catch-up time on that in terms of new articles coming in to populate that category.
But I felt like previously all the food articles had been under health, but I felt like they needed to be separated because food deserves its own focus, you know, because of famine and GMOs and pesticides and also tariffs on crops and soybeans and farmers and all the horrible financial situation that farmers are in right now, etc.
So check the food category there.
And remember that for any trend that has emerged, you can click on the text called Analyze Implications.
And when you do, then it uses our AI engine to analyze the long-term effects of what happens if that trend continues.
So that gives you a lot of insight and analysis that beats any mainstream media newspaper.
There's no newspaper that can give you this kind of level of insights about the breaking news and what it means for the world.
And we cover finance as well.
Like here's one of the trends right now.
Fiat currency collapse accelerates as Fed rate cuts expose central bank manipulation and unsustainable debt.
Yeah, there you go.
That's right.
That's very true.
So, and again, for each trend, you can click to analyze it and you can get an analysis.
And this could help you make business decisions.
It could help you make investment decisions, possibly.
I'm not saying it should, you know, I don't want it to replace a licensed broker or something like that, but you can use this as a research tool to help you make better informed decisions.
Now, I wanted to show you all of this in order to underscore how quickly AI is improving.
And you can already see probably how quickly many humans in the workforce are going to lose their jobs.
I was talking to a friend over the weekend who was taking a Lyft ride, you know, like an Uber, but Lyft.
And they said that the driver told them the driver used to be employed in a support center as a support technician, but they got replaced by AI.
And now they're driving Lyft.
Well, you know that Lyft is going to be obsolete too, right?
I mean, you know that Uber and Lyft are both obsolete at some point soon because of full self-driving vehicles.
So you're seeing this displacement happen.
And, you know, my friend's experience is just one of many, where people are being booted out of human jobs, replaced by AI.
So they're moving to another human job, in this case, driving a car, that will also, in time, be replaced by automated systems.
And then where will all the Lyft drivers go?
Where will the Uber drivers go?
I don't actually have an answer for that.
I don't know what they're going to do.
But as I've said before, there are certain types of jobs that are very, very safe that will not easily be replaced by AI or robots.
And those are trade type of jobs, like welding, plumbing, being an electrician, also a car mechanic or a diesel mechanic, things like that.
A lot of home construction type of jobs as well, or wiring the home for electricity, things like that.
These will resist automation replacements for many, many years to come.
And in fact, I strongly encourage young people, men and women alike, who are coming out of high school to consider skipping college at this point.
Instead, go learn a trade.
Learn a hands-on trade that robots can't do.
And I just mentioned some of them, but there are others.
Maybe being a chef is one of them for a while.
But there are a lot of high-value jobs that robots will have a very difficult time replicating.
Even masonry work, for example, or drywall work will resist automation for a long time.
Or working on roofs, you know, being a roofer, there's one that's going to be hard to replace.
But being an auto mechanic is a very safe job because robots just don't have the dexterity and the strength in order to be good with tools.
They don't have the sensory acuity in their fingers and hands, etc.
Robots are still having a tough time folding laundry poorly.
You know, it's not even a good looking fold.
And they still can't do dishes very well either.
That's going to be a while.
But swapping out, you know, an alternator or something, forget it.
It's going to be, I don't know, 10 years before they can do something like that, maybe.
So these trade jobs will become very valuable and their pay will go up.
While the jobs that can be easily replaced with automation, those jobs will become, well, almost worthless.
And we're about to enter an era that we have to call negative cognition of humans.
And this is a very important concept to understand, negative cognition.
This is when the presence of a human makes outcomes far worse than with the AI system alone.
And because of this, and medicine is going to be very largely impacted by this, profoundly impacted.
Well, let me just tell you about a study.
There was a study that was conducted at Harvard in conjunction with MIT.
And the lead scientist on the study was named Rajpurkar.
Okay, that's interesting.
Found that when doctors diagnose or interpret chest x-rays in order to make a diagnosis, by themselves, without using AI, their accuracy is 74%.
Okay, so three out of four times the human doctor gets it right.
With using AI, that is AI augmentation of the human doctor, that accuracy went up to 76%.
So you gain plus 2% as long as the doctor has access to things like chat GPT.
However, if you kick the doctor out of the room and you just let the AI system do the diagnosis itself, the accuracy goes up to 92%.
So the best way to diagnose chest x-rays is to remove the human, remove the doctor, and let AI do it.
And that's called negative cognition on the part of the human doctor.
The doctor has biases.
The doctor lacks knowledge compared to AI.
The doctor can't possibly absorb all of the studies that come out constantly involving maybe cancer diagnosis or tuberculosis or what have you.
Whereas AI can read all of that in seconds.
It can ingest it all and it can incorporate that into its diagnostic decisions.
So if you have something happening in your chest and you have a chest x-ray, you would actually prefer that an AI system read the x-rays compared to a human doctor if you want a more accurate diagnosis, which I assume you do.
So human doctors in more and more areas are going to represent negative cognition.
They take away from the accuracy of AI.
And if you extrapolate this into the near future, and I've said this before, we're going to be living in a world where it is illegal for human doctors to diagnose people.
That will be outlawed at some point because it will be seen that the AI systems do so much of a better job that allowing a human to diagnose a patient will be considered malpractice.
So I've been warning for years that doctors are going to be replaced because what they do is very algorithmic.
For example, prescribing drugs based on certain symptoms, etc.
That's what a lot of GPs do in particular.
But now it's even worse than that.
Now we're finding out that doctors actually really harm a ton of patients compared to AI.
Now, I saw a story over the weekend.
Somebody sent me, it was from Breitbart that said people are being harmed by following medical advice from AI.
Well, I know that was a propaganda story.
And it gave some example of some guy in India that had some kind of a like a anal something, I don't know.
And he asked AI what he should do and it gave him advice and he did it and it got bad and he ended up in the emergency room.
Okay, so that's the story.
It's probably a fake story, by the way.
I doubt that's even real.
But what the story doesn't mention is that right now, human doctors in America alone kill at least 200,000 Americans, according to the medical studies, every year.
And those are called iatrogenic deaths, where doctors make mistakes.
And just like we saw with chest x-rays, doctors are only right three out of four times.
Well, what about the other one out of four times?
Well, the patient is given chemo when they didn't need it, and then they die from chemo, not from cancer.
They die from a misdiagnosis, or they die from toxic prescription drugs that did not help them resolve their problems.
So right now, human doctors are killing millions of patients around the world every year.
That number of doctor deaths will be drastically reduced when AI is replacing the human doctors.
So anybody telling you, oh, AI is going to cause people to harm themselves.
No, AI is actually going to end up saving lives in medicine because doctors are mostly just pharmaceutical whores, just puppets.
I call them like biological vending machines for big pharma.
And that's not difficult to replicate in an AI engine.
In fact, it's very easy.
You can take four years of medical school and four years of residency and whatever, eight years of medical training.
You can copy the file to an AI engine in eight seconds that replaces eight years of medical training.
And it's up and running instantly and it's more accurate than the doctor.
So for doctors who want to survive in the system, they will need to have specialties such as brain surgery or whatever, certain specialties.
I don't know, endocrinology, but I would imagine AI would even do a better job with that.
The bottom line is that the job prospects of doctors are about to collapse.
And you're going to see doctors, some of them, the younger ones, becoming plumbers.
Yeah.
Call me doctored pipes.
Yeah.
No, seriously, you're going to see doctors becoming plumbers.
You're going to see doctors becoming mechanics.
You're going to see doctors doing physical labor because they will no longer be employable as doctors.
And the entire system of medical school that we have all across this country is already obsolete.
It's a broken, failed system that has only churned out pharmaceutical puppets, you know, big pharma vending machines that now are exhibiting negative cognition that are harming and killing millions of patients a year all around the world, who also pushed all the vaccine depopulation jabs and the bioweapons and the useless masks and other things like that.
Well, most of those doctors are going to be obsolete, unemployed.
And since many of them took the jabs, they're going to be dead also because we have a spike protein problem right now.
Basically, we have a collapse of immune systems among medical staff in America.
And I can't help but think that it's not a coincidence that they're wiping out the doctors and medical staff at about the same time AI can replace them.
And how do they wipe them out?
They told them trust the science and then said, here, take these jabs.
And they all lined up almost 100% compliance in the medical industry.
They took the jabs.
And now here we are, you know, four or five years later, and they're dropping dead at relatively young ages in their 40s, very often, dropping dead in the medical profession.
Yeah.
What does that tell you?
Well, don't always trust, quote, the science.
Even right now, you can go to brightu.ai, which is our AI engine, and we have a wellness coach there.
And that wellness coach knows more about nutrition than your doctor.
It knows more than any doctor anywhere on the planet who ever lived in all of history or whoever will live.
That's because, again, we've trained it on hundreds of millions of pages of content, including 10,000 books on complementary medicine, alternative medicine, herbs, botany, Ayurvedic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, you know, you name it.
You name it.
We've trained it on that.
So you can get better answers from our AI engine when conducting research than you would possibly get from a human doctor, even if it's a complimentary medicine doctor.
You get better answer from our AI than you do from me.
And I know more about nutrition than almost all human doctors, but I know nothing compared to AI systems.
You see what I'm saying?
I've even had people over the last month or so, because I always have people asking me questions like, hey, you know, I've got this question about, are these foods okay?
What is this ingredient?
You know, people always ask me my whole life because they know me as the health ranger and they know that I have knowledge in this area.
So they're asking me questions.
Well, for the last month, I've just been telling them, just go to brightu.ai.
You're going to get far better answer there.
And it's already trained on everything I've ever written anyway.
So you'll have my knowledge plus a lot more knowledge all together.
And just use it there.
And they do, and they get great answers.
And they're like, yeah, awesome.
So they don't have to ask me anything.
They can just ask our AI engine.
You see how profound this moment is?
It's, again, history changes so rapidly from this point forward where every human being has access to information in a decentralized, uncensored fashion.
And even if governments try to censor these models, you know, I've already offered the download free of charge.
And I don't know how many thousands of people have downloaded it, but it's some number of people.
If you go to brightu.ai and click on downloads at the top of the page, you can download the model and you can run it yourself locally.
And no one can ever take it from you.
No one can ever censor it.
It's yours to keep forever, to use forever.
You just have to run local inference software like LM Studio or OLAMA or something like that.
And I know some people have had some difficulty with that because they're just not familiar with the process.
So I had one person ask me over the weekend, you know, how do I run LM Studio?
And I said, look, just ask the AI engine.
Just ask it.
Hey, I downloaded this GGUF file.
I want to run it with LM Studio.
What do I do?
You know, and wait for the model to tell you.
And it's sometimes with people, I see the light go on, you know, like a light bulb over their head, ding.
And they're like, you mean I can ask the AI engine how to do stuff?
Yes.
Yes.
The answer is yes.
I posted over the weekend on social media.
I said, look, all of you out there who are asking somebody you know your tech questions, whether you have a problem with your Windows computer, a problem with your Mac, a problem with your logins, a problem with your email, a problem with your mobile phone, whatever it is, okay?
There's probably somebody in your life that's usually typically a younger tech bro kind of person that you go to to ask questions about that because that person, usually it's a guy, they know everything, it seems, right?
Well, you no longer need to ask that person.
You can just ask AI.
You can ask our engine or you can ask ChatGPT or whatever.
And it will give you walkthrough instructions on how to resolve those issues.
I had a laptop the other day, a new laptop that would not work with the, I had an Ethernet to USB adapter.
And when I plugged it in, it just would not work.
And I tried other adapters, none of them would work.
And there's something about Windows 11 with laptops that has this insane power management feature that just turns off the power to everything all the time, including USB ports.
It's like, you know, you've got to get a green rating.
It's just turn off everything.
It's like turning off the air conditioning in your house in the middle of the summer, you know, and then saying you're green.
Well, anyway, I couldn't figure out the solution of this problem myself, so I had to ask AI.
And I had to ask it several times and gave me all the steps to walk through.
And eventually I was able to resolve it.
And yes, it had everything to do with the power control systems under Windows, which are completely insane.
Windows, under settings, it pops up and says, like, let us help you reduce your carbon footprint, you know, because Bill Gates wants to decarbonize the planet, which means eliminating all humans also.
So they built all that into the Windows operating system.
I'm surprised Windows doesn't pop up and offer suggestions of how to commit euthanasia for all its users.
Like, would you like to die today?
Yeah, we can help, you know, and I'm surprised.
But anyway, you can ask AI how to solve problems.
You don't have to just ask questions about, you know, recipes or you don't have to just use it to write songs or whatever.
You can ask it anything.
All right, we're going to pivot topics here.
And let's see.
I want to start with this one, which is that France has had its credit rating downgraded by Moody's.
And, you know, Moody's is famous for giving everybody a AAA plus or whatever the highest rating is, even if they're neck deep in debt.
To get downgraded by Moody's, your country really has to be a financial dumpster fire.
So Moody's credit ratings agency has revised France's outlook from stable to, quote, negative.
Again, things have to be very bad to get a negative from Moody's.
They cited political fragmentation.
And they were saying that it could cripple the country's ability to address policy challenges.
Its debt hovers around 115% of GDP, which is lower than what we have in the United States, by the way.
France has gone through five prime ministers in, what, two years, I think.
And it looks like the current government is about to collapse as well.
So Moody's is like, we're not sure that France is good for it any longer.
France's debt, in terms of 10-year, what we would call treasuries, its 10-year yield is at 3.4%, which is shockingly low.
It means that the people buying France's debt don't have a clue how dangerous France is financially or how close to collapse it is.
But I guess they'll find out soon, probably.
And then I've got a special report for you here about Russia's new weapon system called the Budovesnik Burevesnik.
I'm never sure how to pronounce these Russian names.
I'm always trying my best.
But we're going to cover that in an upcoming report.
So we'll go to that now.
And then since I don't have new interviews for you this week, and tomorrow I'm playing a new decentralized TV episode.
But today I thought I would replay my recent interview with Andy Sheckman.
Because, of course, what's happening with the gold and silver markets, I think, is really critical.
And there continues to be a lot of volatility in gold and silver.
And with Trump announcing some kind of a pre-agreement on a pre-framework with China that would avert the worst of the threatened new tariffs, probably gold and silver will fall today based on the lack of an escalating trade war with China, which is good.
We don't want to trade war with China.
We want to trade with China.
But, you know, it won't take long before Trump gets mad and threatens China again.
Maybe next time 1,000% tariffs.
He'll just go full Trump on China one day and then gold and silver will spike again.
It makes you realize that Trump can move all the markets just by tweeting or speaking.
He can move them up and he can move them down.
And he does both on a regular basis.
And remember that if anybody had foreknowledge of what Trump was about to say, they could make a fortune in the market, in the crypto markets, in the gold market, etc.
So sometimes I think that there might be people around him who do know and who shouldn't be sharing that information with others, but maybe some of them do.
And then certain people profit taking off of that, you know?
I'm not saying that Trump does that, because he doesn't need the profits himself.
But there might be people around him who aren't as, let's say, strongly adhering to the confidentiality of that knowledge.
I suspect that's the case.
Anyway, we'll go to the special report next here about Russia's new unlimited range cruise missile.
And following that, we'll go to today's repeat interview with Andy Sheckman.

All right, enjoy the rest of the show.
Welcome to this special report, which is really about some red flags for the United States military, national defense, and wars with potentially China at some point and Russia currently.
So the warning is that Russia has just announced a new missile, an unlimited range cruise missile that can very easily bypass all anti-air defenses possessed by the United States and Israel for that matter.
And when I say unlimited range cruise missiles, you're like, how is that even possible?
Well, this is the nuclear-powered missile.
So the thrust is nuclear-powered.
And this is something that Russia's been testing for many, many years.
They crashed one a few years back.
I talked about it in the podcast, and I was baffled at the time.
Like, how can this be nuclear-powered thrust?
Well, there's some kind of a jet engine in the missile or something like that.
Maybe it's a ramjet engine.
It has to be like a turbine engine, but it's powered by nuclear power that's on the missile.
So it doesn't burn through fuel except the nuclear fuel, which of course lasts a very long time.
So this thing can, apparently, it can cruise around the whole planet many times.
It can just loiter in the atmosphere while it's circling the planet over and over again, waiting for instructions of where to come down and attack.
Now, Russia names this, and I'm going to try to pronounce it correctly, the Budoveshnik missile.
Remember the Oreshnik weapon system that Russia unveiled not too long ago?
I guess the Nick at the end seems like all these weapons are named something Nick.
I don't know what Nick means, but maybe we have some Russian listeners who can explain that.
Anyway, the Byoraveshnik is this new weapon system.
They tested it flying over 14,000 kilometers, which is, I mean, 14,000 kilometers.
That, what, is that all the way to the USA from Russia?
Probably, but it can go, you know, farther than 14,000 kilometers.
And apparently, it flies at about a thousand kilometers per hour.
And yeah, here it is.
It's called a nuclear turbojet.
So I was right.
It does have a turbine.
And the spinning of the turbine is created by onboard nuclear fuel.
And so it can just fly around forever.
And well, until the nuclear fuel rods run out or whatever.
But that's a long time.
It could probably stay airborne for months.
And it could just circle the planet.
So this thing flies around and just waits for commands of when to hit a target.
And when that happens, then this can evade all systems.
It doesn't take a ballistic trajectory path.
It has control surfaces, you know, little fins and so on, tail fins and side fins, and it can, you know, maneuver.
And so there's nothing in the world that can stop this.
So Russia's defense minister Garasimov says, quote, the technical characteristics of the Budaveshnik missile make it capable of striking highly protected targets at any distance with guaranteed accuracy.
Any distance.
That means, you know, Washington, D.C. It could hit Trump's Mar-a-Lago.
You know, it could hit whatever, the Federal Reserve or whatever they want to target.
He continues and says, quote, during the test flight, the missile successfully performed all designated vertical and horizontal maneuvers, demonstrating its strong ability to evade anti-missile and air defense systems.
Apparently, this missile is also a stealth missile.
It cannot be detected via conventional radar.
And it's even hard for Russia to track it, even though they know where it is.
This is the weapon system that President Putin says is a quote unique product that no one else in the world has, although this missile has not yet been put into actual live combat.
So they've successfully tested it.
They've been building it for many, many years.
I can only imagine how technically complex this thing is because to release that much nuclear energy so rapidly to generate sufficient thrust that that seems like seems like a hazardous engineering endeavor to me.
Do you really want to be around that much radiation when you're building this thing or testing it?
I don't know.
I have no idea how it works.
But apparently it works.
So this is just another weapon system that Russia has that makes U.S. anti-air defense systems obsolete.
And it shows Russia is advancing just leapfrogging U.S. military capabilities because the U.S. military is bogged down in waste and fraud.
The Pentagon has about a trillion dollars a year budget now, thanks to Trump.
And where does that trillion dollars go?
Nobody knows.
It goes down deep, dark holes and into people's pockets and bank accounts.
It ends up in crypto and gold bars.
I mean, who knows where it goes?
But it certainly doesn't go into making better weapons because the U.S. has crap weapons, like totally obsolete junk weapons that just are not modernized.
I don't know how else to tell you, but the U.S. is currently, I don't know, 10 to 20 years behind Russia in terms of leading-edge weapon development.
And the Oreshnik missile system was additional proof of that.
America doesn't have anything like Oreshnik.
And if America did have that, Trump would be launching those every day against somebody.
Whereas when Russia has it, which can strike any target anywhere in the world with absolute non-nuclear devastation, total devastation, but not nuclear, just kinetic devastation, Putin has only used it, I don't know, twice or something like that in Ukraine.
He could have used it to wipe out missile factories in Germany or weapons factories in the UK or to hit whatever in France.
But he didn't.
He's exercised a lot of discipline, holding back on it.
If Trump had that weapon, man, there'd be another target destroyed every day.
The only reason the U.S. isn't bombing everybody is because they just can't reach them.
Seriously.
And Trump is on a rampage of blowing up all these speed boats near Venezuela and falsely claiming that Venezuela is the hub of the drug trade.
Yeah, that's all nonsense.
It's a totally false narrative.
There are totally different reasons why he wants to attack Venezuela.
It's got nothing to do with fentanyl, nothing to do with drugs.
Trust me on that.
But it's not just Russia that has advanced weapon systems.
Of course, China is an engineering giant, an industrial giant, the industrial giant of the world.
And over the weekend, the U.S. Navy lost two aircraft that are stationed on the USS Nimitz in the South China Sea.
Two aircraft took a dive into the South China Sea.
And one of those was a Seahawk helicopter known as MH60R.
And the other one is an F-18 Super Hornet.
Both of these on the same carrier, both of these in flight fell into the ocean and were gone.
The crew ejected safely and were rescued, apparently, so there were no deaths.
But these two aircraft are toast.
Now, what do you suppose is happening there?
I mean, it's very clear to me and others that China is simply testing electronic warfare.
China has figured out ways to simply disable these aircraft.
And that's what they did.
They just disabled them mid-flight.
And this is probably a final test of that capability to make sure they work against actual U.S. aircraft.
And sure enough, they work.
And the USS Nimitz is now minus two, minus one helicopter, minus one F-18, sitting on the bottom of the South China Sea.
So why is it that the U.S. can't defend itself against these kinds of weapons?
Well, the answer is because, again, China is so much more advanced.
China has more engineers.
China has more advanced AI technology.
Did you know that most of the most popular AI models, I think I mentioned this last week, are all from China, Alibaba and other companies.
The most popular models in the world come from China.
They're the most capable models.
So China has mastered a lot of areas of engineering and technology, including weapons interference technology.
And they're clearly testing that.
So if the U.S. ever goes to war against China, China's going to press a button and all of America's aircraft are just going to fall out of the sky, which is exactly what just happened for two of them.
You know, just fall out of the sky, terminated.
And then Russia, again, has got these missiles and there's no defense against them.
What are they again?
The Bjorovesnik.
That's going to be a tough one to remember.
Borovesnik.
Okay, I'll try to remember that one.
Russia also, over the weekend, it's widely reported that they encircled and cut off at least 10,000 Ukrainian troops.
A massive encirclement campaign was carried out by Russia.
And anywhere from 10,000 to even as many as 30,000 Ukrainian troops are now encircled and are going to be forced to surrender, is what it looks like.
It's always kind of sketchy with the Russia-Ukraine war situation.
So don't hold me to that, but that's what it looks like is happening.
And I think this might be a significant defeat for Ukraine to lose that many active duty soldiers in a mass encirclement type of event.
I'm not sure how long Ukraine can continue to function just due to lack of personnel.
Even if it has weapons support from other countries, even if it has financial support, it's running out of men.
And you can't just print men, right?
You can print dollars.
You can't print men.
You also can't print tanks, it turns out.
You can't print artillery, although we are trying.
Let me give you some additional details of that.
RT, which is, of course, the official outlet of Russia, is saying that 10,000 Ukrainian troops have been encircled in the Kupyansk areas and this other area called Krasno-Armetsk something.
Sorry, man, it's just this.
The last few years, I really wish I could speak Russian, but it's a tough language.
But Kupyansk is apparently 100 kilometers east of Kharkov.
You've heard of Kharkov.
That's a very famous city in Ukraine.
And then the Krasnormyetsk is located in Russia's Donetsk People's Republic, which we've heard about Donetsk, part of Eastern, former Eastern Ukraine, now Western Russia, I guess, depending on how this thing turns out.
My goodness.
Apparently, 31 Ukrainian battalions have been encircled now.
Wow.
31 battalions?
Well, so you're probably going to hear about this in the coming days.
And you'll hear a lot of denials from Trump and the West.
No, that hasn't happened.
It's like Treasury Secretary Besent telling you that, yeah, the financial situation in America, it's totally under control.
There's not a debt problem.
What debt problem?
We have tariffs, you know, he says, even though tariffs bring in a tiny pittance of revenue compared to the trillion dollars that we are going into debt every 75 days at this point, Besent is just gaslighting constantly to the American people, just making stuff up out of whole cloth and hoping everybody will buy it.
It's unbelievable.
Beset is kind of like the treasury version of Zelensky.
It's like whatever the reality is, he will tell you the opposite.
Zelensky's like, we're not surrounded.
We surrounded Russia, you know, or whatever.
Okay.
Yeah, in your dreams, you did.
But in the real world, the situation is pretty dire.
So, all right.
So anyway, the important point of this report is the new Russian unlimited range stealth missile system, the Byudoveshnik, is now a reality.
I don't know when it's going to be deployed, but the Oreshnik missile system was deployed pretty quickly within, I don't know, what was it like six months or something after it was initially demonstrated?
And then the Oreshnik has gone into serial production as of months ago.
And I recall that Putin said they're going to be making roughly about one Oreshnik system per weekday, you know, 30 a month or maybe a little bit less than 30 a month, 25 or 20 or whatever.
Something in that range, like 300 a year is, I think, what they said.
Well, I wonder if this new missile, what's it called?
The Byoraveshnik.
I wonder when this is going to go into serial production.
Could be maybe by the spring of next year.
And, you know, that could mean if the U.S. attacks Iran, you know, Russia could launch a bunch of Byudoveshniks from wherever, from, you know, from the Yamal oil fields in Western Russia if they want to.
It doesn't matter where they launch them from.
They can just launch them from anywhere and just send them to hit U.S. aircraft carriers near Iran or any target, anywhere.
It's pretty wild.
And doesn't it also make you wonder that when these things hit and they explode, don't they also explode all the remaining nuclear fuel?
So I'm just curious.
I mean, isn't it also kind of a dirty bomb at the same time, which I don't know how legal that is in terms of not that the U.S. cares about anything being legal anyway, but in terms of international weapons treaties, wouldn't it be illegal to blow up a bunch of nuclear material somewhere?
It's kind of like a cruise missile with a bonus dirty bomb on it, I would imagine.
I don't even know.
You know what?
Let me ask AI here and see if we can find out what nuclear material does this missile use.
Let's see.
AI is telling me that NATO calls it the SSCX-9 Skyfall.
So if you hear the name Skyfall, it's the same thing.
It's believed to be powered by a small nuclear reactor, which could theoretically give it unlimited range.
Yeah, we know.
Let's see, a compact nuclear reactor.
It seems like we could use that to generate electricity for data centers.
It will use probably enriched uranium or a similar fissile material as fuel.
Okay.
So enriched uranium.
Well, if that blows up, isn't that an environmental problem?
You know, isn't that a dirty bomb?
Do you want a bunch of enriched uranium blasted in a radius around the impact point?
I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one asking this question because this seems like an obvious concern.
It's one thing to get hit with a giant explosive, but it's another thing then to have it be a contaminated nuclear site, a radiological site that you can't even go in and even rescue the survivors or you can't even rebuild because your Geiger counters are going crazy, right?
That's what it is.
It's kind of like, again, it's not a nuclear detonation, but it's a nuclear material dispersion system.
So yeah, it's a kaboom and a dirty bomb together.
Yeah, that sounds like hell.
Better hope we don't get hit with one of those.
Well, then again, America and Israel, they use white phosphorus and depleted uranium all over the place, which also is, in essence, a weapon of mass destruction, depleted uranium, DU, right?
So maybe Russia is just going to say, hey, you guys use DU.
So what are you complaining about?
I don't know.
We'll see.
In related news, the START treaty is expiring early next year.
And once it expires, Russia says we're not going to honor it at all anymore.
The clock is counting down.
And as soon as START is off the books, it's like, hey, anything goes in the world of mostly, what was that, medium-range nuclear missiles.
But really, the whole START treaty is kind of obsolete now anyway, with the existence of the Oreshnik systems and now the Budoveshnik.
I mean, Budaveshnik.
So I'm not sure.
Well, technically, I think START has come to an end.
And there's just nothing else that you can do with it.
Even if you reinstate START, it doesn't stop these non-nuclear weapons like Oreshnik, which can reach a target anywhere in the world.
Russia can easily put the Oreshnik warhead on an intercontinental missile system and deliver it anywhere.
So it's a dangerous time, in essence, in terms of weapon systems.
And the U.S. appears to be really technologically outmatched by both Russia and China.
Even though we're told by Trump and others that, oh, we have the best weapons in the world.
Everybody wants our weapons.
Not really.
Not exactly.
I mean, why do you think even India would rather have Russian air defense systems?
You know, why?
You know, Taiwan buys weapons from the U.S. because they're forced to.
But I'm sure they would much rather be able to shop around and get the best weapons and the best defense systems, even if they're not made in America or among U.S. allies, NATO countries, etc.
But no, the U.S. doesn't make the best weapons in the world.
And frankly, the U.S. barely makes anything.
America makes obsolete weapons and can't even do a good job of making those.
Actually, I mean, that's the reality of the situation.
So if we get into a military conflict, like a direct conflict with Russia or a direct conflict with Iran or God forbid China, we're going to be decimated.
I mean, attacking China would be just a suicide mission.
Even attacking Iran would be a suicide mission.
The U.S. wouldn't last a week.
I don't know what all these neocons are thinking.
They still think we're living in 1989 or something.
The world has changed since then, and our old technology is no longer dominant on the world stage.
All right.
Well, I pray for America and I pray for peace.
And please join me in praying for peace.
And you'll notice that I've put many peace websites.
They're being indexed now at the top of censored.news.

Just a quick update here.
You know, it's incredible.
I've been able to jog now for something like six months.
And I don't know if you heard me talk about this before, but I had some injuries from martial arts training that had become somewhat debilitating.
And I wasn't able to run for quite a while.
And I've been able to restore that.
I've been jogging now for six months.
And I currently jog for 30 minutes at a time, something like that, which was unthinkable for me six months ago.
And of course, I've done all the right nutrition and I've done all the topical things that I needed to do, you know, magnesium and so on.
DMSO, of course, plus some other things like chestnut oil, which is very useful for certain kinds of injuries and so on.
But I was missing something.
And what worked for me was the intranasal peptide called BPC-157.
And I didn't know anything about BPC-157.
I've talked about it since.
I take a squirt in my nose once a day of BPC-157.
I do it five days a week, I think, roughly, give or take.
And since then, I've been able to jog.
You know, actually, maybe three weeks into that, I started to be able to jog.
And since then, I've only gotten stronger and faster.
And I credit that.
Now, the way BPC-157 works is it brings new circulation to scar tissue or injured tissues in your body.
So it actually promotes angiogenesis to those injured areas, which is building new blood vessels, blood supply to those tissues.
And in my case, that's what I was lacking.
Now, once those injured areas got more circulation, then they began to repair better.
And now, again, I'm back on my feet.
And I'll tell you how to get BPC-157 from our partner if you want to.
I'll tell you about that in a minute.
But I want to mention a warning first, which is, and this is just for me.
This is just my knowledge.
You know, BPC-157, it promotes angiogenesis for injured tissues.
But you need to also make sure, in my opinion, Take anti-cancer foods and supplements at the same time.
Because if you have cancer tumors in your body, you don't want angiogenesis for those cancer tumors because that increases the blood supply to the tumors, making them grow, right?
So, since a lot of people have a pro-cancer lifestyle and they're eating sodium nitrite in their processed meat and they're eating a lot of seed oils and crap like that, I would not recommend BPC 157 for people who have an unhealthy diet.
I recommend cleaning up your diet, eating organic, and having anti-cancer nutrients in your diet and then having BPC 157 that helps to heal old injuries.
Now, if you're wondering what are the anti-cancer nutrients or anti-cancer foods or superfoods, well, it's very easy to get the answer.
Just go to our AI engine at brightion.ai, or you can go to brightu.ai, and there you'll see our AI engine that I've been building for two years.
And you can just ask it, hey, give me a list of all the anti-cancer foods and nutrients or supplements or herbs or superfoods or whatever.
Just give it to me.
And it'll say, okay, and it'll just give you the whole list.
And then you can ask it questions about anything you want about cancer, about nutrition, about prevention.
You can even ask it about BPC 157, which has been used experimentally.
And let me tell you how to get it because it's not a drug.
It's not FDA approved.
It's an experimental, well, it's a peptide.
It's a peptide that your body makes.
You make a little bit of BPC 157 in your digestive tract.
Did you know that?
You make it.
So this is something that your body naturally recognizes.
It's just in a higher concentration, intranasally ingested.
You can get it.
Just go to rangerdeals.com and there, click on the link to Limitless.
There's a company called Limitless Biotech.
They do peptides.
They do a lot of different peptides.
BPC 157 is one of them.
Click on that.
Use discount code Ranger.
We'll save you, I think, 10% because this is not a cheap thing.
It is kind of expensive.
But they use mass spec instruments to guarantee the purity of the BPC 157.
And since you're, you know, maybe using it intranasally, you'd want to know that it's very pure and clean.
So that's what you do.
Again, rangerdeals.com.
You can find it there.
And once you start using it, if you choose to do so, I strongly advise you to also not just clean up your diet and eliminate any kind of pro-cancer toxins, but boost your nutrition.
Because see, if you build a better blood supply to your tissues, you want to have better blood.
You want your blood to have more of what can be used for healing.
So you don't want to be zinc deficient.
You don't want to be magnesium deficient.
You don't want to be deficient in B vitamins, etc.
And of course, you know, we offer all kinds of nutritional supplements, but there's a simple way to cover all the bases with a liquid multivitamin.
And we partner with this company also called Protovite.
P-R-O-D-O-V-I-T-E.
You can find the Protovite liquid vitamins at healthrangerostore.com.
And you just drink an ounce a day, or you can do half an ounce twice a day or whatever works for you.
And one bottle lasts about a month.
And you're going to make sure you have all the right nutrients so that when you take the BPC 157, then your blood is really rich and it's got better delivery.
Because the protovite also boosts the blood platelet flow capability.
So you don't have as much blood platelet aggregation.
You know, your red blood cells aren't sticking together, which is not good.
Your blood flows better because of the ingredients that are in it, including aloe vera and some other pretty amazing things.
I've got an interview with the founder coming up.
I'll play for you soon.
You can listen to him explain, or you just check out all the ingredients yourself.
So your blood's flowing better.
It's got more nutrition in it.
And now it's going to the right areas.
If you do that, I think you're going to be pleased with the results.
In my case, it got me back to jogging.
And now I'm just enjoying exercising outdoors in the sun, running several miles at a time, having the best time, and also getting sunshine and, you know, burning up more body fat, no longer pasty white because I'm getting more sun, you know.
So it's all good.
But look, don't take this as medical advice.
Check with your naturopathic physician.
Do your own research and due diligence.
You can use our AI engine to do the research because ours has the best knowledge of natural health and wellness, et cetera.
And you can find that engine at brighteon.ai.
Or you can ask any other engine about PPC 157.
It may have knowledge about it as well.
But do your own research, make up your own mind.
And if it works for you, then give it a shot.
I'm just telling you what works for me and passing that on to help everybody else get back into exercise if you haven't been able to do it because of an injury.
This may help you.
So check it out.
And thank you for listening.
Mike Adams, the health ranger of Brighteon.com, naturalnews.com, and also brighteon.ai.
Take care.
Right now, what I see from the Trump administration is a lot of announcements that he and the media are pretending are real now.
Like, hey, we signed a deal to build a bunch of data centers.
And then everybody says, oh, the data centers are here.
But they're not because they take years to build.
Oh, we're going to build nuclear power plants.
Great.
That'll be awesome in 2044 when they're finally done and producing energy.
And the same thing about this deal with Australia that you just mentioned.
Oh, we signed a deal with Australia or we signed a deal with this Wyoming company.
We're going to start doing rare earth refining out of a coal mine.
Great.
That will replace 5% of China's output by the year 2035.
None of that shit counts today, man.
Like, you can say it.
It doesn't make it happen tomorrow.
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams, and our guest today is none other than Andy Sheckman, the CEO of Miles Franklin.
And here we are, Andy.
Thank you for joining me today because here we are on the tail of record highs in gold and silver.
Quite a bit of a pullback today as we're recording this, silver down almost $4, which was unthinkable before, but it's been over $50.
So, you know, I want you to help us put this into context.
But more importantly, what is going on?
Is this a China versus USA proxy currency war that's taking place through the metals market?
Or what's your take on it?
I think it's a USA versus the southern hemisphere, the BRICS, China leading the charge war.
And I do think someone got into President Trump's ear somewhere in the neighborhood of, well, obviously before, but it started to change in November when he won the election, long before the inauguration.
We began to come massive importers, the largest in the world, as far as I'm concerned, that we know of, in gold and in silver.
And this is a pattern that has not stopped, Mike, since November.
Billions and billions and billions and billions and billions dollars worth of gold and silver are being imported into Comex.
And, you know, at moment one, I was saying publicly, this is not about tariffs.
This is not about arbitrage.
Sure, there's always some of that.
That was the cover story, clearly.
Right.
This is about reshoring.
This is about a new monetary system.
When we accessed or passed the Genius Act, I would argue that is a new monetary system.
We're in the midst of it where gold and commodities will have a much more, let's just say, a much stronger role, a much more important role.
The U.S. government just classified silver a critical mineral.
Never thought they would do that.
And I do believe gold is going to have a substantial role both in the BRICS as a settlement currency, not a currency, but backing the settlement system.
In other words, it will allow for the replacement, in essence, of treasuries.
It will allow to settle imbalances in trade and in currency.
In the United States, I think it's going to have a different role, and I think it will back U.S. treasuries.
Happy to talk about that if you'd like.
But the Genius Act is certainly the missing piece that puts it all together.
Okay.
Wow, there's so many trails we need to go down here.
I've done the math on the Genius Act and the stablecoin purchasing of treasuries.
To me, it doesn't look like that's going to be very large.
Maybe a few trillion dollars.
No, it's funny to say that's not large, but compared to the debt that's going to be 40 trillion by January, you know, raising $2 trillion or $3 trillion through stablecoins doesn't look that effective to me, whereas the revaluation of gold to a much higher level could free up or generate $5 or $6 or $7 trillion.
What are you thinking about those two options for how they could start to try to remain solvent?
Right.
So let's kind of break it down.
I find it interesting that Bo Heinz, I think his last name is Heinz, was Trump's crypto czar.
He's now running USA Tether.
Every dollar that you will move around the world, anyone, whether you're buying a pack of chewing gum at the local gas station or paying your kids' tuition or buying a new F-150 or whatever you're doing, it will be backed by U.S. Tether or backed by stable coins.
Each time you move it, stable coins will be created.
And like Venmo and Zell transfers like that and like money transfers over Enbridge and the BRICS nations like that, same thing will happen here.
It will be instant settlement.
And every time money moves, it will be backed by these new USA Tether coins.
Bo Hines was creating the rules for Trump's administration and now he's certainly taking advantage of them for sure.
And I think they had this all worked out.
So I think you're kind of there, but let's look at a hybrid of it.
So USA Tether, Tether in and of themselves already has between $8 and $9 billion worth of gold in Swiss vaults that they've been buying.
They were also just very prominently involved in the Beaver Creek gold mining summit.
They were there talking directly to the gold miners.
So when any time money moves, it will create a stablecoin that will has to be backed by legislation by U.S. treasuries, which is synthetic demand to drive down interest rates up to two years in treasuries.
So to your point, $3 trillion, I agree.
That's what Besent said also.
However, you will then see that the fact that the profit that comes off of those treasuries, the holder of the stablecoin doesn't get it.
Tether does.
What does Tether do with it?
They buy more treasuries to more synthetically drive down the demand or drive down interest rates.
And at the same time, they'll buy gold, and I believe they'll buy Bitcoin.
I think they will buy gold not only to have the price of gold go higher, which in and of itself would be great for the largest holder of gold, if we really are, which we're probably not in the world, but it devalues the dollar, right?
So this is what they're really trying to do.
I think they'll let Bitcoin go higher too, to continue to devalue the dollar to ultimately chip away at the debt.
I think they want to use Bitcoin to pay off the debt.
And the Russian finance minister spoke about that.
Yes, he did.
But in terms of gold, I think they will also buy gold, adding it to the stockpile to continue to devalue the dollar.
And that's really, if you look at Stephen Mirin, the architect of the Mir-a-Lago Accord, he wants a massively devalued dollar.
Who is selling gold and silver today then?
If it's not the Trump administration pressuring somebody to dump it to drive gold and silver down, who's selling?
Is it profit-taking?
I don't believe so.
I'm sorry.
No, I don't.
I think what it was was, and it's funny because, you know, I have an angle on that too, and this is just a guess.
But part of me feels that Tom Luongo is on to something where he believes that there is an effort to stick it to the Bank of England and to the European aristocrats who are partially, if not fully, involved in the color revolution in this country.
And that's the interference.
Actually, I think Luongo's nailed it, actually.
So if that's true, in essence, what you would want to do is cover your – so if a bank goes short on COMEX, which suppresses – the paper price is controlled on COMEX.
London is a delivery mechanism.
So what these banks do is they short paper here in New York to drive down the price, and then they go long in London on a paper contract without ever thinking of taking possession of it to offset, to hedge their book, right?
But they control the price by pushing it down in London, right?
And the purchasing of that long contract in London doesn't affect the price the way it does the futures contract here in the United States.
So if I had to guess.
So what happened over the last 24 hours, Mike, to me looks like the big New York major trading desks, like the Sent the commercial banks that we're talking about here, they dumped huge amount of silver futures contracts all at once on Colmex.
And on the surface, it looks like the same old thing we've always seen, an attempt to push down the spot prices.
What you don't notice is that many of these players almost immediately turned around and took physical delivery, locking in real metal below 50 bucks an ounce.
And they want to make it look like the traders knocked down the paper price, but what they were doing was knocking down the paper price to quietly grab the actual metal at a discount over their hedge books.
Now, this kind of arbitrage typically happens in London, which is the biggest over-the-counter bullion hub in the world.
So this is going to reignite the squeeze in London then.
Yes, and it could also kind of ignite a little bit of a squeeze here for the wrong players.
But yes, because see, London system has been struggling with settlement delays.
And they're a T plus one settlement system.
One day after the trade, you're supposed to have the metal moving.
But it's been as long as eight weeks.
And the Bank of England tells us it's a shortage of manpower and trucks.
Yeah, so what's happening right now, if you look closely, you can see this is kind of happening in New York because New York publishes daily vault reports and weekly commitment of traders reports.
And those reports are showing a slow-motion squeeze where they stuff the vaults for sure, but these inventories are steadily falling as metal prices leave, as metals leave the vaults.
Question is, who the hell is doing it?
Who is standing for delivery?
Now, part of me feels, if I had to guess, if we follow Luongo's theory here, that the banks in the United States, if someone came to this administration and said, look, you know, the stuff that's been happening with the bricks, they've become coordinated and motivated and sophisticated, and they're draining all of the world's vaults.
And they're gobbling up, you know, not just the physical, they're going to the Belt Road Initiative and all the underdeveloped resource-rich countries.
This is now a race for the world's commodities.
We need to do this too.
And I think in going through and dissecting all of that, they would say, my goodness gracious.
So the banks here in the United States have wicked short positions that could blow up the entire system.
Because as Bill Holter will say, if a bank fails to deliver, it's not just that they're failing to deliver in silver.
It's the systemic contagion where these banks have their fingers in every pie.
If they fail to deliver in metal, what does it mean about all their other obligations?
So you get this contagion.
But so, anyways, if I had a gun to my head, I would say that it's a coordinated effort between the bullion banks and the Treasury Secretary using the Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Meaning they say, you're going to get your house in order, you're going to cover your shorts, and we're going to take the metal from you.
We'll pay you for it, but you're going to, because now silver is a critical mineral, and gold is now being reintegrated into this new monetary system.
You're going to bring it all home.
You're going to get the real stuff, and we're going to take it off your hands, and you're going to cover your shorts, leaving the banks in Europe exposed to this problem.
Where right now, there's a 140 million ounce float of silver in London trading 600 million ounces a day.
What could go wrong?
And most of the banks that in that theory would be exposed would be the banks in Germany and France, like Standard Charter, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Credit, well, not Credit Suisse anymore, but all of these European banks who are wickedly short in London, where the head of the Japanese TOCOM says, not only is this happening in silver, they're trading 3 million spot contract ounces a day for delivery in platinum.
And in London and Switzerland, there's zero ounces.
So this becomes a problem.
If this plan, as you describe it, if this is successfully carried out, then the U.S. ends up with the physical silver that's needed for the data centers for the increasing acceleration of weapons construction, Tomahawks, F-35s, et cetera, telecom, green energy industries, et cetera, while London ends up holding a bag of margin calls.
Correct.
And it's a systemic, it's really an existential threat to some of these very large banks.
And the reality of it is that the U.S., classifying it as a critical mineral, says an awful lot about it.
And it's not just gold that's been coming into the country, massive amounts of silver.
Now, you get the PR slant where you got Reuters saying that there's all sorts of metal that's being shipped to London to smooth things out.
That's not true, in my opinion, any more true than it was all about the tariffs.
Yeah, there might be a few rogue traders that are doing that because you have what's called backwardation.
And this is something that people need to understand who have been struggling with what's going on in the metals market, why bid prices are so much lower than ask prices.
We've had roughly three weeks straight of backwardation in silver, which is something you never see.
Backwardation basically means that the spot price today is higher than the futures price.
That's backwards.
It's supposed to be contango where the spot price is less than the futures price, which takes into account the cost of storage and interest and the time value of money.
You loan your brother-in-law 10 grand and he says, I'll pay you back tomorrow.
Fine.
You give me back 10 grand.
You loan him 10 grand.
He says, I'll pay you back in 18 months.
Well, okay, fine.
How about you pay me back 10,500?
That's interest for the time value of money kind of thing, right?
I'm just kind of trying to make an analogy here.
Backwardation says that the demand for silver is so much higher right now.
Right now, we don't want to go out a month.
We don't trust that it will be there or whatever.
We want it now.
And so we're willing to pay up on it now.
Well, what that does, by the way, for the industry as a side note, is that if someone wants to sell us 10,000 ounces of silver and they see what spot is, and I want to hedge that exposure, which I always will, using the futures, it's a buck and a half back of spot.
So how do you hedge yourself?
You have to go back and it becomes a problem.
So there are some traders taking advantage of that, where they will, you know, they'll sell on one end and buy on the other to take advantage of that spread between London and the U.S. So some of that is happening, but most of it, I don't think, is going back there.
I think that silver will be used for all of the needs that you discussed, and it is critical.
And I do believe gold is going to back the back end of the treasury market, as Judy Shelton has said now twice on my show.
And I think if you want to go into that, I can explain to you the way that I see this unfolding in combination with the Genius Act.
And I find it to be maybe the only shot in the dark that we have of bringing back anything in terms of credibility to this country as crazy as that sounds.
Yeah, that's a really important point.
And I know you said before that it looks like the Trump administration will sacrifice the dollar in order to save the debt market, right?
And a lot of that has come true.
But let me back up a little bit back to stable coins because there's something that I don't hear a lot of people talking about, which is that you're correct that stable coins will be used in transactions.
And every time someone wants to create a stable coin in order to engage in a transaction, then that results in essentially treasuries being purchased.
But at the end of that transaction, you burn those stable coins.
You redeem them.
And so that reverses that.
The thing is, I don't see a lot of informed people holding stable coins.
There's no reason to hold them other than maybe what you need in the next day or so to be able to engage in a transaction somewhere else.
But if you hold them, there's no upside.
There's only the downside because the stablecoin can never be more valuable than the dollar that it's supposed to be tied to, you know, within 1% or whatever.
But the dollar is always losing value because of the money printing.
This is why I've called them unstable coins.
They're unstable because the dollar is not stable.
If I'm someone who just wants to hold assets, I'm going to buy physical gold and silver, not stablecoins.
Well, it's funny because Tether is buying gold because that's really what this is all about.
It's a synthetic way to create demand for treasuries to lower interest rates and to devalue the dollar by taking the spread between the interest that you get in those stable coins that's given back to Tether, who is obliged to buy more treasuries to push down the yield and to buy gold and Bitcoin to devalue the dollar and work on paying off the debt.
And I think it serves several purposes.
If you look at the Mir-a-Lago Accord, that's exactly what he talks about is devaluing the dollar.
All you keep hearing these days is the debasement trade, the debasement trade.
That's exactly what this is.
And when you have Vice President Vance on White House Letterhead saying that being the world reserve currency due to Triffin's dilemma is not a good deal for the United States anymore.
It is for the consumer, buy cheap goods at Walmart, but the producers are dead in the water and we don't produce anything anymore.
And I just saw a show today or a news article today that said within three to five years, 50% of all entry-level jobs will be gone due to AI.
Add that to 60% of the country with no college education and a manufacturing base that's been eviscerated because of Triffin's dilemma, which says the world needs more dollars than we can provide through trade alone.
So countries over time have to continually buy our currency, weakening theirs, strengthening ours, which means over time, manufacturing becomes so much cheaper over there that we can buy stuff at Walmart inexpensively.
And then the bonus that we had all along when we were trusted and revered and our debt markets were trusted was that they put their excess in treasuries organically.
And that would keep interest rates low and asset prices high.
These things are all coming to an end.
So what the Genius Act does is it works the front end this way and also allows the proceeds, the profits that are generated between the issuance of stable coins and you're right, the burning of them is to buy assets that will continue to devalue the dollar and continue to push up the prices of the assets that they have plans for.
That's really interesting.
Yeah.
Tether is like, give us your money.
I mean, give us your currency so that we can go buy things that are better than currency.
Correct.
And back the system.
Right.
And then your point of why would anyone want to hold them, if you don't think that through this legislation, the on-ramp and the off-ramp of these stable coins will be monitored when I will be.
I was listening to an interview, and I may have said this last time we talked on the guy that's created Bricks Pay, which is like Enbridge.
Enbridge is for the central banks.
Bricks Pay is for retail, B2B.
But he talked about what the technology that is inside of Bricks Pay because they're opening it up to the rest of the world, which is huge.
And the same thing with Enbridge.
They're opening up to the Belt Road right now, 75% of the human population that will be able to transact like that outside of SWIFT and dollar intervention.
And the guy interviewing said, but couldn't that bring in terrorism and money laundering?
And he says, you know, we're very, very keenly aware of that because we're opening up to so many countries that we have KYC, know your customer, AML, anti-money laundering, and KYT transactions built or technology built right into it, know your transaction.
So this new stablecoin highway will know who you are, where the money came from, and know what you bought.
So it is, in one end, a surveillance state.
And why would you want to hold stable coins really unless you didn't want to exit the crypto ecosystem?
And I don't know that anyone would want to hold them for anything other than transactions.
I tell you, I mean, I would rather transact in Bitcoin and much rather transact in something like Xano or Monero privacy coins because I don't want the surveillance state to know what I'm doing.
But getting to your point about AI, the job replacements are real.
And you texted me something privately about this, but I want to demonstrate to people just our own AI technology, how advanced it's becoming.
If you go to censored.news, and I built this myself with no other humans, okay?
So it's me and a bunch of AI engineers built this.
And it's unbelievable.
If you click on finance and you can see the trends here that are the top financial headlines.
So here's one.
Government overreach in financial markets threatens economic liberty with price controls.
Now, Andy, that trend is an aggregation of all the financial news over the last 24 hours.
That's not one headline from one story.
That's an aggregation.
But check this out, folks.
If I click on this link, analyze implications, then it brings up our AI engine at brightu.ai, which analyzes the short-term, medium-term, long-term implications of, let me scroll back to the top.
Look, the financial implications, social, cultural, technological, medium-term implications.
Andy, this, like, we've never seen this capability before to be able to take a trend out of the news and then project it into the future and instantly see what are the implications of that.
And I'm one guy who built this.
Yeah, and they did it.
They did a thing in London yesterday.
I saw it this morning on the news.
I was walking out the door where there was a very beautiful woman who was standing out in the field giving a, talking about an event.
And at the very end, she said, and by the way, I'm not a human.
I'm AI.
And she disappears.
And they came on and they said, this is how convincing it is.
And you don't even need, you know, you don't need, you don't even need to put someone out in the field anymore.
You can create a beautiful woman reporter who's giving a great dissertation and then bang, she disappears.
And then they showed a new Hollywood movie where it is 100% AI created.
100%.
So you talk about the, you know, where over time, this is just beginning.
Give it how many years before the cumulative knowledge of the whole world is inside the palm of your hands.
What does that look like?
And that's why I think that bringing back manufacturing is so vitally important to this country.
If you aren't in AI, if you're not on Wall Street, then think of the implications on Wall Street.
Who needs a financial analyst anymore when AI can do it for you in eight seconds?
Aggregate all the information.
It's going to change everything.
And so bringing back manufacturing is a problem.
We must do it for national security on one hand and just for the future of our kids on the other hand and our grandkids.
And how do you do it?
Triffin's dilemma says you can't unless you give up on the reserve status, which I believe they're going to do.
And that's what this is all about because of things like AI, which I find to be not only amazing in their scope that you can learn something like this in 10 seconds.
And who needs to spend 200 grand to send your kid to a Big Ten college when you can, there's more information at your fingertips than you would have ever imagined.
But also, what are the implications as it pertains to employment and putting people to work?
Something just, this is also breaking news today that's right on that very point, Andy.
And I know you've been doing so many interviews.
You may not have seen this, but DeepSeek out of China released the new DeepSeek OCR model, which is not about OCR.
It's about compressing knowledge into images.
So what they can do is they can take an encyclopedia of text knowledge and they can compress it into one-tenth the space by tokenizing the word tokens into images.
Oh my goodness.
This will allow AI engines to have long-term memory very efficiently.
So now you're talking about, I mean, that's the major limitation against achieving AGI is that the AI models don't remember things for a year, things that you talk to them about, because that context window gets too large.
That's just been solved today by DeepSeek.
They released the model, open source.
Here it is on Hugging Face.
And they release a science paper describing the tokenization of knowledge into basically extreme image compression here.
So, Andy, like we can't even keep up with it.
The speed of which, you know, the speed at which things are changing right now is so incredibly rapid that you and I, that's why they call it the singularity.
Like we can't really project the future because we can't know all the breakthroughs that are coming that are going to change everything.
It's frightening, as far as I'm concerned.
It's very frightening.
Are you concerned about it, Mike?
No.
Are you embracing it?
I can't wait.
I mean, I'm not frightened by it.
I'm trying to leverage it and use it for human empowerment and decentralization of knowledge.
See, to me, this is like, great.
I can release all of human knowledge on a downloadable file now that everybody can have access to at edge cases in their home where the government can't censor it.
Like that, that's the way I think about this.
But the government side will use it to try to enslave everybody, for sure.
Interesting.
Interesting take.
Yeah, no, I mean, it's, I don't know.
It just, I didn't mind using the Dewey Decimal system and remembering my friend's phone numbers back in the day and, you know, actually reading stuff on paper and bound leather.
But it is what it is, man.
And it's definitely changing the world.
And I think that is one of the reasons why we have to understand that, my opinion, the single biggest threat to this country is the fact that we don't make anything anymore because it will disrupt.
Yes, it will make us all have information at our fingertips, but I think it will make finding ways of making a living very difficult for a lot of people.
You look at the kids right now right out of school.
They can't find jobs.
They're the highest number of unemployed right now.
They can't find a job.
And what happens as this gets worse?
My son, as an example, he's a good example.
He came to work for me a year and a half ago, but when he left college, I told him I want him to go find himself.
Go be a man, go spread your wings.
And he went to New York and he became a CPA with Price Waterhouse and right out of college, getting paid $75,000 a year.
But what do they need to pay him $75,000 for to analyze a real estate and investment trust balance sheet for Price Waterhouse when AI can do it in one second without all of it?
And so it's just going to change so many things.
That's right.
And I think that's part of why we need to bring back manufacturing.
Well, I agree.
We need manufacturing because AI can't create commodities.
It can't create silver or copper.
And AI can't create products.
So, I mean, infrastructure, physical infrastructure really, really matters.
And that's where America has become incredibly weak over these years because we've allowed everything to be shifted over to China for rare earths, for example.
Or Western Europe allowed energy to come from Russia, which worked great until we blew up the Nord Stream pipelines.
I'd love your comments on that.
But first, let me just mention your website, milesfranklin.com.
And just to say thank you for coming on because you and I don't have a financial arrangement of any kind, but I know you always have like a super secret VIP price list for people who want to get, tell us about that.
Yeah, and that would be, please just put in the subject line, saw us on this show, Mike Adams, whatever you want to put on there, info, I-N-F-O at milesfranklin.com.
And any questions that you hear or have questions on, let us know.
We'll answer them.
No obligation.
You just want the price list, let us know.
We'll email it to you.
We update it two, three times a week.
If you see lower prices, tell us chances are we'll be able to match it or beat it.
We would like to think we're as good as just about price-wise as anyone in North America.
We've never had a customer complaint in 36 years.
So I appreciate that, Mike.
I come on here not to even, if you never mention my company name, I just love our conversations and I love what you're doing.
And it's great to be a small part of it.
Well, likewise, I really appreciate your analysis.
I've learned a lot from you over the years, and you were the first to talk about BRICS, actually.
Before people knew what BRICS was, you were already a couple of years ahead, you know, on that curve.
And you understand the importance of what my friend Michael Yang calls routes and resources.
Belt and Road Initiative, you were talking about that years ago.
And now we see how that's playing out with U.S. naval projection of power over the Suez Canal, over the Panama Canal, over the Strait of Malacca.
A lot of concern about the Strait of Hormuz near Iran there as well.
I mean, you understand all of this.
Absolutely.
And it's funny because the Belt Road Initiative is really a bigger deal than people think, aside from the fact that it's the largest infrastructure project in history, human history, aside from the fact that it represents 75% of human population and over 50% of global GDP.
And these are underdeveloped countries that they're trying, China is trying to industrialize by building the infrastructure and taking a piece of the commodity ecosystem.
BRICS Pay and BRICS Bridge, the Enbridge technology and the B2B BRICS pay system, which everyone would push back against BRICS and say they're not big enough.
Okay, both technologies are being opened up through the Belt Road right now.
So all of the transmission of money and trade will go through the Enbridge for the central banks and BRICS pay for the retail B2B settle outside of SWIFT.
And what's happening alongside of it is the Shanghai Metals Exchange is building vaults, multi-regional vaults all throughout the Belt Road.
The first one is done in Hong Kong.
The second one right now is being built in Saudi Arabia right now, who is a full member of Enbridge.
Saudi Arabia was the fifth country to sign up to Enbridge.
They also signed up 11 or 12 or 13 nations in Southeast Asia, the ASEAN acronym, Asians, and five or six Middle Eastern countries.
The countries in Southeast Asia alone, those 13 or 11 countries, represent twice the population of the U.S., 800 million, and are China's largest trading partner by far right now.
And they're over 35% of global GDP.
They'll be trading outside of SWIFT.
They will trade over Enbridge like that in seven seconds at a 98% reduction in fees, and they will settle in balances in gold.
China's further industrializing or internationalizing the yuan, rather, which would be the rails for the settlement system for BRICS, by making the digital yuan immediately convertible into gold at any of these locations right now in Shanghai.
I mean, in Shanghai or in Hong Kong, where you would take it and have it sent to wherever you want or leave it there.
But their idea is to open it up all around the Belt Road and deposit.
Everyone deposits gold in all these multi-jurisdictional vaults.
Trades over the bridge network with their CBDCs settles in balances in gold.
So the trading in local currencies destroys the dollar hegemony and the settling outside of the treasury market using imbalances to settle in gold kills the reserve status.
And this is why I think ultimately you're seeing like even Vance say on White House Letterhead, we can't do this anymore.
We can't be the world reserve currency.
Everyone should trade their own currencies.
I think that's what's going to happen.
Yeah, that's because there's a cost for being the world reserve currency, which is the gutting of your own industrial economy and output.
But what do you make of China announcing a couple of weeks ago that they were going to put new restrictions on rare earth exports?
They were going to require licensing so that those rare earths don't fall into the hands of countries that are manufacturing weapons for the West.
Because if you're China, it's silly to sell your strategic enemy the minerals they need to build missiles and bombs to threaten you, right?
So then in response to that, Trump kind of blew his top there on a Friday and announced 100% extra tariffs on China beginning November 1st.
That's plus 100% on top of whatever is already there.
Well, I ran that scenario through my AI analyzer and the results, if that were to go into place, are catastrophic for the U.S., by the way.
I mean, catastrophic.
But the U.S. doesn't have a way to replace those rare earths either.
So what do you make of that situation?
Is Trump going to go full Taco Tuesday again and back off?
Or where is this headed?
Well, they just signed a big deal, I think, with Australia to buy rare earths.
And this is the dilemma.
This is the dilemma where, you know, we have neglected all of this and the rest of the, you know, we've spent 50 years trying to, you know, we're a service-based country for 50 years that puts all their faith in dollars and treasuries where countries like China have not only been building the resources or the mines to develop the
resources, even if they were under, if it weren't economical, but they've expanded into places like the Belt Road and all of these things to continue to gather up all of this stuff.
This is a race for the world's commodities.
And I think it's ultimately a very scary thing.
I mean, and not only that, it's like, you know, the Congressional Budget Office says by 2031, all 100% of tax revenue goes just to pay the interest on the debt and mandatory entitlement payments.
So who wants to buy our treasuries to fund our discretional military purchases?
In other words, military purchasing is discretional.
So who's going to fund that?
And so it goes even deeper than that.
And then when you realize it's not only things like rare earths, which you need to make military equipment and high-tech stuff, but even things like manufacturing pharmaceuticals like penicillin, we're reliant on these countries and in particular China for far too much.
And so you have to question, is the stick or the carrot the better approach?
I don't know, Mike.
I really don't know.
Well, I want to back up a little bit on that.
Do you remember when Enron used to have an accounting principle that when they came up with an idea, they would put it on the balance sheet as an asset?
Yeah.
Remember that?
Yes, I do know that they had very clever accounting gimmicks, and I think you could argue the same thing about the Western accounting.
Right.
But right now, what I see from the Trump administration is a lot of announcements that he and the media are pretending are real now.
Like, hey, we signed a deal to build a bunch of data centers.
And then everybody says, oh, the data centers are here, but they're not because they take years to build.
Oh, we're going to build nuclear power plants.
Great.
That'll be awesome in 2044 when they're finally done and producing energy.
And the same thing about this deal with Australia that you just mentioned.
Oh, we signed a deal with Australia or we signed a deal with this Wyoming company.
We're going to start doing rare earth refining out of a coal mine.
Great.
That will replace 5% of China's output by the year 2035.
None of that shit counts today, man.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like you can say it.
I don't mean you, but I mean Trump.
Like you can say it.
It doesn't make it happen tomorrow.
China's got the minerals now.
China's got the power now.
The power grid.
You know, the Hoover Dam times 100.
Now.
And not only that, their relationships with the breaks in the Belt Road are not only the underdeveloped, resource-rich countries, but those that are strategically located in trade routes, both on sea and on land.
They have been playing 3D chess while we've been playing checkers for a very long time.
And, you know, there's a lot of focus on the precious metals, but they own the London Metals Exchange, LME.
They bought it, which would be all of the base metals.
And many of the vaults that are used to store the metals that are traded in London are now being built in China.
And that is exactly right.
This has been a country that has focused on the wrong things for too long, where China has focused on what's really important.
And aside from the problems that they have, everyone's got problems, but they have more resources and capacity to refine those resources than anyone in the world.
It's not only the rare earths, they refine nearly 100% of them.
We don't even have the capacity to refine them if we create them.
We're so far behind the eight ball on that.
And so you're right, it is frightening.
People focus too much on precious metals.
But what precious metals will do, at least in terms of gold, will be run the rails of settlement and trust and finance.
Silver will be for, I don't think it will have the monetary implications, but it will certainly, it is a necessity for an industrial and industrialized civilization that is doing high-tech things like AI, like advanced military, you know, like battery powered anything or anything that conducts electricity, heat, or electricity.
It is critical.
It is important.
And they've realized that for a long time to our detriment.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But even right now today in 2025, the decisions that I'm seeing coming out of the White House, even though, again, Trump inherited this long-term problem of short-term thinking, right?
But Trump, you know, announcing things like right now, okay, in East Texas, across the border, Texas and Louisiana, they're going to have this new lithium mine for all the lithium batteries.
And in my mind, I'm thinking lithium is already just about obsolete because of sodium ion chemistry that's 10 times better, cheaper, lasts longer.
So why are we still focused on the past of battery chemistry when China's companies like Catal, C-A-T-L, is rolling out sodium ion battery packs that will last 5 million miles?
Your car will be run down and junked, and you'll pull the battery pack out of that car and stick it in your next car, and it'll drive that car for a million, you know, for millions more miles.
I mean, that's how good those batteries are right now.
We've got sodium, Andy.
North America is rich with salt mines, you know, salt deposits.
We could be making sodium ion batteries, but the only company in America, Natron Energy, just went bankrupt.
Couldn't get enough funding.
Couldn't make it work because it's just too expensive to make it in America.
And I'm not yelling at you, by the way.
I'm yelling at what I'm learning from, you know, and I feel your passion, and I'm the same way, man.
I get it.
I love it.
I'm frustrated that why can't we make stuff?
Why can't we be a little more forward-thinking as a country?
Let's work on sodium ion battery manufacturing.
You know, we can send all this money to Ukraine or Israel or wherever.
We can't make sodium batteries when we're sitting on salt mines, galore.
What's going on?
Yeah, I don't.
You know, you look at, you ask, there was an interview done recently and asked the Gen Z, the youngest kids, what they want to do.
And the biggest answer was be a social media influencer.
We ask kids in China and they want to be astronauts and physicists and chemists.
And it's a different thing.
I think we've gone astray.
I mean, that's really the truth to me.
And something that's bothered me more than anything is that our culture has been whitewashed.
You look at our, you know, the level of education is appalling in this country for proficiency and whatnot and pushing kids to do these things, pushing people to do these things.
And not only that, when you've got your manufacturing, what impetus is there to do that?
You have one or two, three places to go to do that.
And if not, everything else is happening outside the United States who has lost focus on what is really important.
And that's probably why we're behind the eight ball.
In some ways, we're more intuitive and have more ingenuity than anybody.
In other ways, to your point, we're living in the past and these countries who have prioritized the future.
And that's the old adage.
The Chinese think in terms of decades.
We think in terms of minutes.
They've been looking and doing things of this nature, thinking way ahead of us for a very long time and using our hubris as a cover for it.
So it is.
It's disconcerting.
But to your point, I think it's very important that people start to understand that things are beginning to change.
And U.S. supremacy that is all based upon military prowess, these things are changing because the U.S. dollar and the trust in the U.S. system is gone in many respects.
And that's why these countries are pushing ahead the way they are.
I completely agree.
And we've lost the meritocracy that America once was.
And did you see Besant announcing that the Trump administration is going to set price floors for rare earths and other commodities across a wide range of industries?
He said that on a CNBC interview.
So they're going to set the floor for copper, for aluminum, for steel, for neodymium, for dysprosium, whatever.
And I'm thinking, okay, wow, now I'm living under a communist, centralized, price-setting regime where they pick the winners and losers in the economy now instead of meritocracy.
And how on earth are we supposed to be able to function in a society that we're told, oh, it's a free market, except, well, all the prices are set by the government?
It's like, what?
You can't.
You can't.
And I think that, you know, people talk about countries like China buying gold to de-dollarize.
They're not buying gold to de-dollarize.
I think they're buying gold, not like they're going to switch back later.
This is permanent.
From their perspective, the geopolitical risk is the United States.
And I think they're hedging against us, not despite us, but because of us.
And that's the part that people are missing.
I really do think.
And this is why they're doing all of these things.
They're doing it because they look at us as, you know, the problem.
And they're trying to find ways that you can't push back against, whether it be technology with energy or all of the critical minerals that are needed to make these things or the refining capacity or the precious metals to run a monetary system based on trust or on and on and on and on, or the relationships that are cooperative.
Like, for example, you know, people don't talk much about the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
I mean, even the word Shanghai Cooperation Organization, but they have two projects that the Chinese are funding or the SEO is funding, their infrastructure projects, and they're funding them in yuan, including wind power in Uzbekistan.
Okay, that's the birth of what is being called the electro-yuan, which is a green petro-yuan-backed energy trade.
This complements the petro-yuan, which already challenges the dollar in oil markets.
And so they're covering old and new energy economies.
They're pushing back against the dollar dominance in every way in energy, in commodities, in relationships, in technology, in everything.
And it's because what they're really doing is hedging against us.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And I think that's the biggest problem of all.
And this is only going to accelerate.
They're hedging against the U.S. Empire, which is incredibly unstable right now.
And honestly, I've looked at this every way possible.
I don't see a way out of our printing and debt crisis.
Everything that has been proposed, even all the things that you've talked about, the things that I've researched, I've been on the Fed's website.
I've been on the Treasury's website.
I've been listening to Lutnik and Besent and others and all their ideas.
Andy, I've done the math on this and I'm pretty damn good at math and it doesn't work.
It just doesn't work, man.
At some point, this system implodes.
Well, and Richard Russell, my mentor, always said the Fed had two choices to inflate or die.
And that's why I think they are trying option three, which would be to create the Stable Coin Act, the Genius Act, to create the synthetic demand, to drive down rates on the front end, to use the proceeds, the excess, to buy gold and devalue the dollar further,
push the gold stocks up, push Bitcoin up to pay off the debt, and then back the back end of the Treasury with gold where you could bring home manufacturing because you have zero upfront borrowing costs if the redeemability is in 20 years in gold itself.
You let gold go much higher, you revalue it perhaps, or let it go up organically, which continues to devalue the dollar, which allows you to sell your products at competitive prices.
Now, maybe I'm being overly simplistic, but what other way, to your point, Mike, what other way is there to do this?
And, you know, at some point, it starts to become very depressing to try and figure this out and try and find a glimpse of hope for this country and for the children and the grandchildren.
The next two generations are in big, big trouble if we don't do something like this.
No, they're going to default on the debt either through hyperinflation or an actual default.
But I think you're right.
They'll choose hyperinflation.
But you realize also that what you just said, that if they push Bitcoin up and then swap out Bitcoin for debt, I hope our listeners realize that's a giant Bitcoin rug pull.
Yeah, and I think that's what they'll do.
I do.
And that's what the Russian finance minister is saying.
And if you use Tether, who has just bought, I don't know how many billions worth of Bitcoin recently, to do this through synthetic demand, it actually has the potential to work.
The one ramification side effect, I think, would be universal basic income for people who don't have assets.
Business things will get very expensive, very expensive, and the store shelves will be, you know, a lot less stock than we're used to.
But you might have a chance in a few years to reshore manufacturing at zero upfront borrowing costs using gold redeemable treasuries down the road, 20, 25 years or whatever.
And the higher the price goes, the lower the dollar goes.
So you can sell your products at a more competitive rate around the globe.
Well, Andy My I have one more important question for you.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but in my opinion, as a company that hires workers, I don't think that America can return to manufacturing until we go through a generation of hard times.
You understand the value of money.
And the value of work and work ethic.
See, we don't have a culture that works right now.
We really don't.
Right.
No, I agree.
I agree with you.
I do.
But nonetheless, you know, you get to a point and what is the lesser of all evils.
And you're right.
I mean, the same thing is true when you look at them trying to lower rates to stimulate the housing market again.
No, what you need to make housing affordable are for prices to come down.
Right.
And not, and that would be rates going higher.
And so people can save money.
And it wouldn't be for rates to come down that got us into the problem to begin with.
You're right.
In many ways, we're thinking in the past, we're doing the same mistakes over and over and over again.
I don't know.
I guess I have spent so much time, Mike, honestly, over the past six years talking about the demise of the Western system that I've tried to find some glimmer of hope and cling to it that maybe, just maybe, we could bring back manufacturing and with our backs against the wall be great again.
But you're right.
But I'm happy to bring you back to the doom side.
Thank you.
Well, I've been there forever.
I've been there forever.
And, you know, it's a drag sometimes, but I guess there's a fine line between pessimism and realism.
And I'd rather not have my head in the sand and be run over by change.
You know, maybe be able to sidestep it if you know what's coming.
When I hear Optimus talk about the reindustrialization of America, and by the way, we got to go here in a second.
They say, well, we're going to reindustrialize with robot manufacturing.
But then where are we going to get the robots?
From China.
Why is China going to sell us robots when they could use them there?
And they contain all the rare earths that they don't want to export to us.
No, China's going to automate manufacturing first.
They're doing it now, actually.
They've got millions of robots.
Ford executives came back from China.
This was reported in the Telegraph.
They said they were terrified of the automation they saw in the auto manufacturing in China because in the U.S., we're 20 years behind that.
But anyway, Andy, we got to wrap this up.
Dude, I got to sit down with you someday and have a beer and talk, talk, you know, because you are a wealth of information.
And what I hope people who watch you realize that you are seeing things well before the crowd does.
And the things that you've talked about today have opened my eyes quite a bit and have made me want to dig a little bit into this.
I always learn from you, Andy, so the feeling is mutual.
And give out your email address one more time for people who want to get physical gold and silver in their hands.
Yeah, and I will do my best to make it the best experience I've ever had.
That's info at milesfranklin.com, I-N-F-O at MilesFranklin.
We won't be undersold.
And please let us know they came from this show.
Mike, it's a pleasure, man.

Usually when you're on a run with your dog, you must do your best thinking then.
But I love hearing from you.
I love talking.
I'm always texting you when I'm huffing and puffing.
Yeah, that's all right.
I get it.
I think you're brilliant.
And I'm honored as hell to be a very, very small part about what you're doing.
And it would come on anytime you'd have me.
I know you got to run.
I'll look forward to doing it again with you sometime.
And if you get a chance, send me a couple of links to the stories that you chatted about here during this show.
You got me wanting to go down another rabbit hole and see how long before I pop back out.
Okay, I'll do that.
Have a great day, Andy.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
God bless.
All the best.

After a long wait, we've got our turmeric extract back in stock at healthrangerstore.com.
Here it is on my screen, the organic lab-tested turmeric gold liquid extract, two ounces.
This has been out for at least six months, I think even longer than that.
And it's available now.
And as you can see from the ingredients here, it's made from lab-verified turmeric, rich in curcumin right here, and supports your body and your health in so many different ways.
People love this product.
They love how it tastes also.
And each serving gives you almost 600 milligrams of organic turmeric root extract.
So I drink turmeric every day in my smoothie.
I actually, of course, I use actually turmeric root powder in this.
That's what makes it orange.
But you can get it in a more convenient format in this turmeric extract.
We also have back in stock our organic freeze-dried aloe vera extract powder, which is a 200 to 1 concentrate of aloe vera, just the inner leaf gel that's dried, well, freeze-dried.
Again, 200 to 1.
So just a little bit goes a long way.
And you can put this into smoothies.
You can put it into drinks.
It's really fantastic.
I would just warn you, once you open it, it likes to absorb water.
So it will rehydrate quickly.
So don't leave it open.
Once you do open it, you know, try to use it more quickly because it'll start to solidify.
And in your body, you want to make sure you take it with a lot of clean water.
And the things that it will do in terms of health support are just extraordinary for your blood, for your blood flow, for the formation of your blood platelets.
I mean, I can't go into all the details here, but aloe vera with these amazing polysaccharides is just an extraordinary healing food.
And you can do all kinds of research about it.
Heck, you can research on our engine, brightu.ai.
That's our AI engine.
It has this wellness coach.
Let me actually bring that up and show you.
If you go to brightu.ai, here it is, scroll down on the screen right here.
You see this wellness coach.
Click on the wellness coach and you can say things like, hey, tell me about the benefits of aloe vera, you know, things like that.
And just hit go and here it goes.
It starts rocking all the benefits for you of just aloe vera as a as a general query.
This is not specific to our product, but just sort of general knowledge about aloe vera because we've trained our AI model on hundreds of millions of pages of content about herbs, natural health, phytochemistry, complementary medicine, prevention, and so much more.
So use these products with the knowledge that you can glean from our AI engine and you will benefit tremendously.
Okay, the other thing that we've got, which I'm showing on my desk, we now have the liquid multivitamin called Protovite, which has a little bit of aloe vera in it, by the way.
That's one of the main ingredients.
But it's got all the other vitamins, the B vitamins, minerals, and some superfood extract concentrates that are also part of Protovite.
And you drink an ounce a day and it's just extraordinary.
The changes, the health support across many systems, that's something to check out.
We don't make it, but I interviewed the founder who makes this product.
That interview is playing soon, by the way.
You'll love it.
It's called Protovite and it's at healthrangerstore.com right now.
So check it out there.
And thank you for all your support.
Thank you for your patience.
The supply chains are difficult right now, but we're doing our best to get these products back in stock.
Even though it takes lab testing and it takes manufacturing, etc.
We're doing our best to get it to you as quickly as possible.
So thank you for your patience and for your support.
