	Okay, things are really looking awesome in some sectors.
	Welcome.
	This is Mike Adams here, and this is Bright Town Broadcast News for Wednesday, November 26th, 2025.
	As always, thank you for joining me.
	Greatly appreciated.
	I interviewed Marjorie Wildcraft today about the urgent need for food self-reliance.
	That is, as we move into 2026 and the economic situation remains pretty dire, you know, food inflation worsens, food scarcity getting worse, and a lot of vulnerabilities in the system.
	Like we recently saw what happened when the food stamps got turned off for just a little while.
	You know, 42 million people didn't know then exactly where to get food.
	I mean, we didn't have any, you know, crazy riots, thank goodness, but the situation is headed in that direction.
	And that all reminds me to tell you something really cool here.
	I published a new book at books.brightlearn.ai.
	It's called the Self-Sufficient Flock, a complete guide to raising happy, healthy chickens naturally.
	Now, I think I may have mentioned this yesterday, but I've made improvements to this.
	And I've also published another book called Thrive on Less, The Ultimate Guide to Outsmarting Inflation, Beating Unemployment, and Building Wealth in Any Economy.
	And I use an author name there of Broke Beck.
	Get it?
	Like, like broke back, Broke Back Mount.
	It's another joke, you know?
	Anyway, it's Broke Beck who writes the book Thrive on Less.
	I don't know if that's funny or just silly, but whatever.
	In any case, we've got books coming your way, and I've just made numerous improvements.
	So first of all, number one, all the books are now interactive.
	So if you go to books.brightlearn.ai and let's say you click on the self-sufficient flock book on raising chickens well, at the bottom of every sub chapter, which is a section within the chapter, you can ask Brightown Ai about this chapter.
	There's a box there.
	You can enter any question about this sub chapter or really about the chapter, and then Brightown Ai, the engine, will answer the question for you.
	So that's now.
	It makes the books completely interactive.
	You can now, in effect, you can, you know, ask the book for additional information or questions.
	So these are, I mean, you know, how cool is that right?
	Secondly, all the books have share icons for x, so you can now easily click that and share the book on your x, you know channel if you have.
	If you're on x, we've also added bright town social share links.
	So if you're on our social media platform, Brighteon.social, you can now click that link and share on your Brighteon social account for any of these books from any page.
	And it's great because the books are, number one, they're all completely free.
	And there are now 10 books that have been published.
	They're all completely free, of course, because I believe in open source.
	I believe knowledge should be free.
	I believe in empowering people with knowledge through decentralization.
	So they're all free.
	And you can download the PDFs, also completely free.
	And then, on top of that, did you know that the books have no advertising in them?
	Because, well, they're books, you know.
	And one of the great things about reading books, as you may recall, in the days when we used to read stuff, you know what was great about it is there wasn't something popping up in your face all the time telling you to buy something.
	We all missed the days of having control over our own eyeballs and attention.
	And I wanted to bring that back with this website, which is already taking off.
	I mean, I'll tell you about the stats here, but I can't believe how popular it is already.
	We've had over 4,000 readers already on this site that we haven't even officially launched yet.
	I mean, I've just been talking about it here a little bit and posting some things on social media.
	Just, you know, check out this book, check out that book.
	But I haven't done an official announcement, you know.
	So it's pretty wild that we've already had over 4,000 readers and over a thousand book downloads.
	Yeah.
	But I think that's because, again, people miss the experience of reading a book without a bunch of ads all over the place.
	And although we do have simple messages that say, hey, you know, you can discover more AI tools like this tool at brighteon.ai, it's just a little tiny piece of text.
	It's not just some obnoxious graphical banner and pop-up and expanding autoplay videos.
	You know, just all this garbage that turned the internet into crap.
	We don't do that stuff.
	We give you the book.
	We show you the information.
	We allow you to share it.
	We keep the navigation simple.
	Oh, and I forgot to mention, our books are now mobile friendly.
	So if you tried to access it on your mobile device yesterday, it wasn't that great on mobile.
	Actually, the table of contents was in the way of everything.
	So we have improved that.
	And now we have it working on mobile devices in a way that looks very nice.
	And then I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	And in the meantime, again, if you want to visit books.brightlearn.ai, feel free to do so.
	But just understand, not everything works yet, but it will shortly.
	And all the books are going to start appearing there by the thousands.
	So, well, especially when you generate them from the homepage, and that's coming shortly.
	So enjoy, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
	I call this podcast the disclosure false flag.
	So disclosure is coming.
	That is, they're going to tell us that we're not alone in the universe and that aliens have arrived.
	And as a result, well, that's going to be the cover story for all the global reset that they want, the currency reset, the total enslavement of humanity under the technocracy.
	This is what's coming.
	And the way we know that is very clear now.
	The way we know this is because Netflix released this new documentary called The Age of Disclosure.
	I think that's the name.
	And Netflix, of course, is strongly tied to the Obamas and the Clintons and the globalists.
	And Netflix is a platform to put out propaganda narratives that the CIA once pushed into the public consciousness.
	And furthermore, if you watch this documentary, it features the who's who of like traitors and disinformation agents like James Clapper, for example, who ran the campaign, the Russia, Russia, Russia total hoax against Trump.
	So James Clapper is a hoax master and a traitor, a deep state treasonous actor, and he's featured heavily in this film, along with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who's also a puppet of the Globalists.
	And Marco Rubio in the film is just citing all kinds of propaganda nonsense, like claiming that we didn't know that Pearl Harbor was going to be attacked in World War II, or we didn't know that the terrorists were going to attack the Twin Towers on 9-11.
	You know, these kinds of lies that he tells.
	Of course, it's all lies.
	Of course, we knew we engineered those events, we, the United States, we engineered those events in order to push a specific narrative and a specific policy.
	In the case of allowing Pearl Harbor to be bombed, that was because we wanted to push America and get the public support for World War II in the Pacific theater to attack Japan.
	So that was all engineered.
	Same thing with 9-11.
	That was engineered.
	The Bush family was all in on it.
	And it was engineered in order to push the war on terror, which turned out to be something that would benefit Israel by destroying all of Israel's enemies, seven nations in the Middle East.
	Six out of seven have already been destroyed.
	So what you need to know is that everything is a PSYOP.
	Everything that comes out of the establishment is a PSYOP.
	And the fact that Netflix was allowed to interview top military personnel, for example, who would otherwise never be allowed to talk about these subjects to anyone, but Netflix was given access, think about it, to all top-level officials, the Secretary of State, for God's sake, top secret military people, in order to make this documentary.
	And what does the documentary say?
	Again, it says that aliens are here.
	They're coming.
	I mean, the revelation of them is coming, but they're already here.
	They've been observing us, etc.
	Now, here's the thing.
	That narrative is going to be used against us, even though it's quite clear in my mind that we are not alone in the universe.
	So I do want to be clear that humans are not the only intelligent species.
	Well, not even on Earth, but in the universe.
	There are other civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy, many other civilizations that are advanced that have faster-than-light travel technology.
	Oh, and I should talk about that where to begin.
	So these so-called experts in technology that were in the documentary, they were astonished at the change of speed of the alien craft that they say were flying around.
	And they calculated they pulled like thousands of Gs, you know, G-forces.
	And they couldn't understand how that could be.
	Well, how to say this, they're not that smart.
	It's obvious that if you have a warp drive technology, which can use a lot of energy to bend space-time in a bubble around your craft, then you can change speed and direction almost instantly without feeling any acceleration.
	In other words, you do not feel any g-forces when you alter space-time because it alters the way gravity is experienced because gravity is just the curvature of space-time.
	That's it.
	Gravity isn't actually a force, it's just the curvature of space-time.
	And in the same way that when you step off of a tall building, let's say, I mean, don't do this at home, but if you were to step off a tall building, you would not feel yourself being pulled to the ground.
	You feel weightless, right?
	Ever been on a roller coaster when you're plunging toward the ground?
	What do you feel?
	Weightless.
	You don't feel like you're being pulled to the ground.
	That's because gravity acceleration does not subject you to g-forces.
	So, when you alter space-time through warp drive technology that uses energy, then your craft can instantly change direction or can even appear to teleport without experiencing g-forces for its occupants.
	Okay.
	But for some reason, and I consider this to be common sense, but for some reason, all these experts have no idea that that even exists.
	They don't know how gravity works.
	They don't know.
	I mean, they're just not very smart people.
	Okay.
	I don't know why that is.
	They're just, you know, IQ100 or whatever.
	So, yes, there are alien civilizations in our universe.
	And yes, they have advanced technology, including warp drive technology, faster-than-light travel or FTL travel, is, in my opinion, commonplace in our cosmos.
	It is a common technology like the combustion engine on Earth today.
	FTL drives.
	The thing is, you can't change the laws of physics, which means you have to use an extraordinary amount of energy to bend space-time.
	So, FTL travel takes energy no matter what.
	It's not magic, it's physics.
	And depending on the mass or the size of the craft, the amount of energy required to bend space-time to create the appearance of traveling at multiples of the speed of light, which is C. For example, if you want to travel at 100 C, the amount of energy is enormous.
	We could do the math on it, but it might consume small stars.
	You know, it's an enormous amount of energy, but that does exist.
	However, all that said, what we are about to be subjected to is a disclosure-false flag, which is fake alien disclosure, not the real alien disclosure, but a faked alien disclosure that is faked by the globalist government using Project Blue Beam type of approaches, you know, holographic projection,
	exotic flying craft with lights and, you know, psyops, media coverage, the same kind of psyop they did during COVID.
	They can do that for aliens.
	And they can claim, oh my God, the aliens are here and they have a message for us.
	We all have to disarm and subject ourselves to biometric scanning or whatever, whatever the globalists want.
	And then when the markets crash, because everybody panics for some reason, I wouldn't panic.
	I'd be like, yeah, pretty much just as expected.
	But everybody's going to panic and start selling off the markets.
	And then that will be the excuse to reset the currency system.
	And they'll blame it all on aliens, which qualifies as force majeure for all financial contracts.
	So, any of the banks that default on your deposits and your money vanishes everywhere, they're just going to say, Oh, it's the aliens, you know.
	Just like during COVID, they all said it's COVID, it's COVID, nothing we can do, it's aliens.
	So, disclosure: it's the perfect cover story for enslaving humanity under technocracy and also concentrating power into the hands of world government.
	Because once we're faced with a so-called alien contact scenario, and who knows, maybe the aliens aren't nice, maybe they're threatening war.
	You know, war would be the perfect scenario for the globalists to say, Oh my god, we're at war with the grays or something, and uh, because we're at war, we have to cut your electricity usage, you know.
	Uh, really, it's all about powering the AI data centers, but they want to find a way to take away your home or residential power.
	So, if they can use the alien agenda narrative, they'll use it and think about everything else.
	They can funnel trillions of dollars into the military-industrial complex, even more than they do already.
	And what's the excuse?
	Oh, we gotta make alien hunting weapon weapons, you know, whatever nonsense they come out.
	We gotta hunt aliens, we gotta have many laser guns, you know.
	That's what they're gonna do.
	This is trillions of dollars, vanishes, and all the money printing just boom, it's all gone.
	And then it explains everything, really.
	It's the cover story for everything.
	It's like, oh, oh, how come we don't have power for the city of Los Angeles all week and everybody's dying?
	Um, it's the aliens, you know.
	Why are the food supply chains cratering and the shelves are half empty in the grocery store?
	It's the aliens, it's going to be everything.
	Why is my dollar worthless?
	Aliens, why is there no gasoline in the gas station?
	Aliens, why are elections canceled?
	Oh, yeah, that's the big one.
	Why are elections canceled?
	Aliens, aliens, aliens can't have a free press when there's aliens because you know, we don't want to anger them aliens, so they'll ban the free press, ban the First Amendment.
	Basically, they'll suspend the entire Constitution, and they'll just say it's aliens.
	And remember that COVID was a dry run of this whole thing, they created a fake emergency, which was the COVID pandemic.
	It was faked.
	I mean, at first, it was very convincing, even I was convinced at first for a couple of months, but then it became apparent the whole thing was made up.
	There was never any virus pandemic, never existed.
	Yet, did the government spray certain cities like New York City with nerve agent toxins?
	Yes, they did that in order to create the symptoms and send everybody to the hospitals so they could push out all the statistics of the COVID deaths, which again, at first, I was convinced that those were real, but I will never be fooled in that way again.
	So, when they roll out the alien agenda and the media starts saying, Everybody, the aliens are here.
	Yeah, you and I have to have the presence of mind to say, Nope, you're full of crap, you're making it up.
	This is another control grab that you're up to here.
	You're lying, you know, government's gonna lie, the media is gonna lie, everybody's gonna be lying about it.
	And the way you know that is because they're gonna make demands of you, they're gonna make demands, and all those demands will take power away from you, and it will put power into the hands of the establishment.
	That's how you know it's all fake.
	Because think about it.
	If there were real aliens that were showing up, let's say, to help Earth, think about it.
	What would they do?
	They would give away open source cancer cures, which would completely destroy the cancer industry, destroy the medical industrial complex.
	It would put millions of doctors out of business, but it would improve the lives of humans on planet Earth.
	And there would be no more cancer on Earth.
	Are we going to get that? out of the disclosure false flag?
	No.
	No way.
	Not a chance.
	They will never give you cancer cures because the cancer industry is so lucrative.
	So remember, if the aliens do good things for humanity, then they're probably real.
	But if the so-called aliens are making demands that concentrate power into the hands of governments and globalists, then you know it's all a hoax.
	And you should say, no, I do not consent to your fake alien surprise.
	I mean, it's just a bunch of deep fakes, just a bunch of AI video.
	And that's the other thing.
	Technology has advanced to the point where they can now render incredibly convincing videos.
	So you're going to see all these videos all over the media.
	It's aliens, you know, and it's going to look convincing, but again, you know what's behind it.
	AI is behind it.
	And see, they needed AI to advance to this state before they could roll out the fake alien invasion because they need to be able to mass produce a bunch of fake videos.
	And that moment is now here as of just this year.
	So this is the pivot point for the age of fake disclosure or what I call the disclosure false flag or the disclosure hoax.
	Wouldn't it be funny if the powers that be push this disclosure hoax, pretending to be the aliens, and then the real aliens show up and say, no, we're not going to let you fake us.
	And then they start like revolutionizing human knowledge and causing world governments to collapse, setting humanity free.
	You know, wouldn't that be amazing?
	But for whatever reason, the observers that are out there right now that are keeping tabs on planet Earth, they have decided not to intervene.
	At least not in obvious ways.
	Now, there are reports that they have already disabled nuclear missiles or nuclear weapons, but that's easily understood in the sense that the non-Earth visitors, they don't want stupid humans to destroy the planet with radiation fallout.
	And I've said this before in my podcast.
	It's very clear that Earth as a cosmic commodity has very high value for lots of reasons.
	Number one, it's a water planet, right?
	Number two, it's the right distance from the sun.
	Number three, it's got an axial tilt relative to its orbital plane around the sun, and that tilt gives it things like seasons.
	Number four, it's got an orbiting moon.
	Number five, it's got a strong magnetosphere so that the harmful radiation is mostly averted from reaching the surface of the earth.
	But back to the moon, the moon also helps promote the magnetosphere.
	And of course, the tides and cycles of plants and animals and crops, all kinds of things.
	What else?
	Well, the moon can function as an observation base and a planetary defense base.
	In addition, our location of our sun on the spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy happens to be some really good real estate.
	We're kind of in the downtown section of where the highways cross in terms of planet density.
	If you actually look at the spiral arms and look at our location, once you have faster-than-light travel, you realize that Earth is a pretty good stopping point, you know, kind of like a way station on the way between other destinations in the same spiral arm.
	By the way, most of the FTL traffic in the Milky Way galaxy by extraterrestrials will be conducted along one spiral arm.
	And you may not know this, but according to scientists, there are only two spiral arms of the Milky Way galaxy.
	That was not known for a long time, but apparently there are only two spiral arms.
	And to make it to the other arm on the other side of the galaxy, it's, I forgot the exact number.
	It's like 100,000 light years or something.
	Depends on where you start.
	But it's a long way across, okay?
	So almost all the FTL traffic is going to be on our spiral arm, which means that every civilization that's closer to the center of the galaxy than our sun is, if they want to go to another star system that's farther away from the center of the galaxy than our current solar system, then they have to traverse past our solar system, obviously.
	Or roughly, they got to pass by our sun on the way out.
	So again, we are like on a convergence of highways.
	So that makes Earth a really great stopping point.
	And also, it's got an atmosphere.
	It's got an atmosphere that's mostly nitrogen.
	79% nitrogen, roughly.
	It's, what, 19% oxygen.
	So it's a breathable atmosphere.
	Most of the atmosphere is inert.
	The oxygen isn't too high to where it's going to oxidize people's lungs or aliens' lungs.
	It's also not too low.
	It's pretty decent.
	It could be better.
	It could be 25%, but whatever.
	We'll take the 19% because we can still breathe.
	But also, you know, the oceans have all the elements in them.
	We've got rare earth minerals all over the planet that are useful everywhere in the galaxy.
	I already said the correct distance from the sun.
	That's key.
	It's got, I mean, there are just so many benefits to the territory of Earth that aliens don't want us to screw it up, which is, I think, really the only interest they have in human civilization is not to protect the humans, but to protect the planet from humans.
	Yeah, to protect the planet from humans.
	Because they see humans as dumb animals, like dumb apes, you know, just running around with nukes, electing stupid people to run their countries into the ground.
	Half the planet is starving, you know.
	I mean, you got a whole fake medical system with fake virology and the fake cancer industry, you know, pharmaceuticals.
	We drug our own pregnant women to death.
	We spray our food with pesticides and herbicides, which is the dumbest thing on any planet anywhere in the cosmos.
	I mean, we abort and murder our own babies before they're born, which even, you know, even rats don't do that.
	Even field rats want their children to live for the most part.
	There is occasional fratricide, or I guess you call it ratricide.
	But for the most part, humans are the most violent creatures probably that these aliens have ever seen.
	The most violent, most destructive, the most insanely stupid, but with enough technology to destroy the planet.
	So, if there's any alien intervention on Earth that's legitimate, it's going to be for peace to stop the nukes, not for war, not for concentrating power into the hands of government.
	It's going to be for peace, basically peace and maybe depopulation too, on top of that, you know, to reduce human populations and save the ecosystem and stop the wars, etc.
	So, I could see that happening.
	And maybe that's what's behind the globalist push right now for depopulation.
	You know, maybe they're getting orders from headquarters or something.
	Who knows?
	But whatever is officially rolled out in terms of disclosure, I do not trust.
	And you should not trust it either.
	Now, a couple things to wrap this up.
	I've got a new book generator that uses AI technology that is kicking ass.
	It's amazing.
	In fact, I'm going to turn this podcast into a book, an entire book.
	This book engine, which is about to be unleashed to the public, is at brightlearn.ai.
	Brightlearn.ai.
	And if you want to see the books that are already publicly available, you can download them and read them for free.
	And there's PDFs available, and we're going to have multilingual versions soon.
	Just go to books.brightlearn.ai and you can see all the books that I've generated, including books about how to build chicken coops and the cancer collapse, your digital doctor poison pantry about all the toxic foods in your pantry.
	Yeah, I've already published these books, so they're available for you at no charge.
	Again, that's at books.brightlearn.ai.
	And you can use all of our AI tools at brightion.ai.
	That's the word bright E-O-N.
	Bright E-O-N.ai.
	See all of our tools, use our AI engine.
	We've also got, we've trained our AI engine on an enormous amount of content about UFOs and disclosure and previously classified documents from the Arlington Institute that the late John Peterson had donated to this project.
	Bless his soul.
	May he rest in peace.
	So if you ask our engine about disclosure and aliens and UFO technology and faster-than-light travel, etc., at brightu.ai, you're going to get the best answers from any AI engine just because of all the training material we've put together.
	So check it out.
	Use all of our free tools and feel free to follow me at brightion.com.
	That's our video site.
	And brighteon.social.
	That's our social media site.
	And again, you can find all the AI tools at brightion.ai.
	So check it out.
	Use the tools.
	They're all free.
	Just registration required, you know, just your email address, but no fee at all.
	Use the tools.
	Have a blast.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	My message for you today is that you are not obsolete, even in the new AI economy.
	You are not obsolete.
	And in this podcast, I'm going to cover why you are not obsolete and how you can navigate the challenges of mass AI replacement of current human jobs.
	So thank you for joining me today.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	I am not only known as the Health Ranger, but I'm also an AI developer.
	And you can see all the tools that I've built.
	They're all free at brightion.ai.
	Now, the first key point to understand here is that yes, AI agents will replace a very large percent of current human jobs.
	And I'm talking about desk jobs, jobs that you do behind a computer, let's say.
	Right now, at least a quarter of those jobs can be replaced by AI within a year.
	That number will probably be 50%.
	Another year, 75%, let's say.
	These are just estimates.
	And then a year after that, nearly 100%.
	But that doesn't mean that you're obsolete, even if you have one of those jobs today.
	What it means is that even though this will be disruptive, there will be new jobs that are available as a result.
	And this is the way it works with all technological revolutions, including revolutions in things like agriculture.
	So the introduction of tractors.
	Well, that replaced a lot of people who were otherwise working on the farms using human labor.
	So the human labor was replaced with machine labor.
	So what happened to all those humans?
	Well, at first, there were disruptions.
	They lost their jobs, but then they found new careers and new jobs by doing things that are higher level than, you know, cutting corn cobs or whatever they were doing in the field.
	That's the key.
	Before the invention of the printing press, the Gutenberg machine, well, there were a lot of scribes in society.
	And so what happened after the printing press?
	The scribes lost their jobs.
	Most of them did.
	Was that a bad thing?
	No.
	It freed people up from the drudgery of hand copying books, which is a horrible job to have.
	And so part of my message here today is that, yeah, the job you're doing right now might be replaced by AI, but the more quickly it's replaced by AI, probably the worse the job is.
	And so not having to do that job will actually be a benefit to you.
	The key is to upgrade your skills so that you still have value to employers or to society in ways that transcend your old job that is now obsolete.
	So there's no such thing as an obsolete human.
	There are only obsolete roles that can be easily automated by machines.
	And in this broadcast here, I'm going to give you some tips for how to stay ahead of the curve as jobs are replaced at a very large scale.
	So the first thing to understand in all of this is that as AI cognition is gaining in its ability to replace your old job, it's also gaining in its ability to teach you new skills at essentially zero cost.
	So think about this.
	Never before in human history have human jobs like customer service jobs been easily automated by AI agents that can read and reply to emails.
	But that moment is here now.
	And yet, at the same time, we have AI engines that are essentially free and many of them are available completely free for limited use.
	I mean, our AI engine is completely free for unlimited use, by the way.
	You can find that at brightion.ai.
	But you can use AI systems now to teach you job skills that used to cost you a lot of money.
	So this is the first thing to understand is that you're never obsolete as long as you continue to learn.
	You are only obsolete if you stop learning and stop adapting.
	And that's your choice.
	So you can make sure you're never obsolete if you just keep on learning new skills.
	And now the barrier to learning new skills or new knowledge, the barrier is gone.
	You can learn anything you want to learn completely free of charge.
	You can even use our new book generator engine at brightlearn.ai to generate books on any topic you want, to teach you anything.
	You can generate like a classroom book, an instruction book, a how-to book, anything you want, an academic explanation book, anything.
	And it will do it for free.
	And right now that engine is opening up to token holders, but there will be a free tier that's announced in a couple of weeks that will create shorter books for you completely free of charge.
	And at the same time, this is happening.
	Understand that employers are no longer gauging people by their education or their college degree, let's say.
	The college degree, that has become obsolete in many ways.
	Although, you know, certain degrees still carry more weight than others, that's changing rapidly.
	Because what really matters is a person's knowledge, and especially knowledge about how to use AI.
	So one of the best ways that you can maintain your relevance to the economy is to learn how to use AI.
	Because if you're having to switch jobs, if you have been replaced by AI, by learning how to use AI, you can get relatively easily hired by somebody else because you're the AI expert.
	Or you're an expert on AI in a certain area, a certain domain, like how to use AI to automate customer service, or how to use AI to classify loan applications, or how to use AI to generate reports for accounting, things like that.
	You can become an expert in that area.
	And that uplifts you from the drudgery of the low-level job to a higher-level job that might even pay more, but certainly requires more brainpower and more creativity.
	And that's the key.
	See, you don't want to stay stuck in an obsolete job just because it pays you an hourly wage and some benefits.
	You want to upgrade your skills and adapt to the new changes in society so that you are now more relevant than ever before, even in the age of AI.
	And this is what happened during the revolutions of agriculture or the industrial revolution when machines were replacing human laborers.
	It didn't eliminate the need for human labor.
	It just shifted where that labor was being used.
	Same thing is true today for cognition.
	Even though machines can now achieve human level cognition for most tasks, it doesn't eliminate the need for human cognition.
	It just displaces it and pushes it into different areas of the economy or different areas in a corporate environment or different areas of business or innovation or entrepreneurship.
	But you still need cognition.
	You still have an advantage over every machine.
	And that is, number one, you've got long-term planning capabilities.
	You've got memory.
	You've got wisdom.
	You've probably made mistakes in your life and you've learned from those mistakes.
	You've got inspiration, creativity, and free will.
	And while you could argue that maybe the machines can simulate some of those things, they don't have them intrinsically like you do, and machines don't have a lot of good judgment about business decisions either, because they don't understand human society and human culture very well.
	So you still have an advantage over the machines, especially if you decide to launch a business idea using Ai augmentation as a tool that can help you succeed, And that's another major point in this report is that, whatever you decide to do, not only is it a good idea to use AI to help educate you about that topic area,
	but if you decide to launch your own business or have a business on the side or to offer a service on the side or whatever you're going to do to remain relevant, use AI to help you do that job better.
	You can use AI to help yourself market your services better.
	You can use AI to launch a website.
	You can use AI to do almost anything at this point, to process documents, to translate, to do anything.
	Anything that requires cognition, in other words.
	So whereas a few years ago, perhaps you had a business idea, but it would have required you to hire five people in order to do the business, maybe you can automate the thing where it's only you.
	Maybe you're the only human in the business idea and you have five or ten AI agents.
	There's nothing wrong with that.
	You're under no obligation to just create a business that hires a bunch of people.
	You can be a one-person business.
	And I've even proven that.
	I've shown that with our book generator engine at brightlearn.ai, I'm the only human involved in that entire project.
	Literally, I'm the only person.
	I built the engine using AI agents from the ground up.
	Even, you know, all the graphics and book covers and everything, it's all been AI automated.
	And although we're giving away the book and we're not charging people dollars, you might have an idea where you could charge people.
	You might have a special analysis service for a specific industry.
	And that's the other part of my message here is to leverage what you already know into a new business venture if that's what you choose to do.
	But leverage what you know.
	Don't try to become an instant expert on something where you have no knowledge.
	Like overnight, I'm going to become an expert in trading options or futures or something.
	Yeah.
	Probably you're not going to become an expert overnight.
	Probably it's going to take a number of years to become competent in that industry because there's a lot of wisdom that's gained through some very hard lessons.
	So don't expect to become an expert instantly on a domain of knowledge, but you probably have a domain of knowledge.
	It could be from a hobby, could be from a previous job or a current job.
	It could be from your area of study if you went to college or if you've been working in just whatever you're interested in.
	That's where you have domain knowledge.
	And that's where you should look for ideas for launching a new business, a new specialty service, if that's what you want to do.
	And you don't need to earn that much if you've already been able to save some money on the side, which hopefully you have been.
	If you're listening to this, you probably have been.
	Now, speaking of that, there's another important chapter in all of this, which is to learn to live on less.
	So while you're involved in this transition, which will be very chaotic, and a lot of people will be displaced from their jobs, and that might be you, possibly, or maybe someone you know or your children or what have you.
	It's important to be able to live on less during this time.
	Because you see, culturally in America, we like to buy really big houses.
	Even when we're just starting out, we're in our 20s and just got out of college and we want to buy a 3,000 square foot house for some reason because the lending agent made it affordable in terms of monthly payments that you can just barely afford.
	So you're just barely scraping by.
	You got a house payment, you got a car payment, you got an insurance payment, groceries, which are going up.
	And then you land a job and the job pays just enough to be able to make all these other payments.
	Well, what happens if you lose that job?
	Now you're in trouble, right?
	Now it's an emergency.
	So it's a good philosophy to learn to live on less so that you can downscale in terms of not requiring so much revenue every month.
	And there's no shame in living on less.
	And I've lived on less many times throughout my life.
	You know, as a poor student, you could say when I lived in Taiwan, I was completely broke.
	I was down to my last 100 NT, which was worth about $4.
	I was literally down to my last $4 for a meal.
	And I was buying rice and eggs to eat, you know, because they were the cheapest way to not starve.
	So I know what it's like to live on less.
	And not only is there no shame in it, but it actually builds character.
	So if you're going through a time of some chaos or job loss or adjustment, don't think of it as a failure.
	It's actually a time to build character and learn some financial wisdom about living on less.
	How do you cut expenses significantly and still use your time and energy wisely to learn new skills and to upgrade your game so that you can maintain relevance in a changing economy?
	Living on less is a key part of this.
	And that means you're not going to go out to eat as much probably.
	You're going to have to give up that Starbucks latte.
	You might have to cook more of your meals at home, which is fine.
	If you're not employed, you're going to have more time to do that.
	So spend your time doing things like learning new skills via AI, cooking your own meals, studying the job market.
	You know, there are all kinds of online courses that you can take completely free.
	You can tune in to practically the entire coursework of MIT that has online videos.
	You can watch their courses.
	You can learn anything you want, very nearly, completely free of charge these days.
	It's just a question of how you choose to spend your time.
	If you choose to spend your time, you know, just being a consumer and focus on entertainment and things like that, then, you know, you're going to have kind of a rough time because you are going to be left behind in that scenario.
	But if you invest your time in learning new skills and maintaining relevance and saving money, living on less, then you're going to be fine.
	In fact, I would say that people who exercise self-discipline are going to do extremely well during this time of transition.
	Self-discipline means a lot of things, like the discipline to study and learn, the discipline to live on less and spend less money, the discipline to look for new jobs, the discipline to Get up in the morning and do something useful for the day, not just sleeping in all day and binge watching Netflix series at night, you know.
	Discipline.
	When you exercise discipline, you're going to be very successful, especially if you follow my podcast because I'm going to give you the tools all the time.
	I'm going to give you tools.
	I'm going to give you wisdom, perspective, and show you how to navigate all of this.
	So even just listening to my podcast is a good use of your time, especially if you're doing something else at the same time, like cooking a meal.
	You can be cooking and listening.
	And that's what I do.
	If you wonder about my habits, well, I'll share them with you.
	It's no secret.
	So when I'm out exercising, I'm jogging in the forest, and I'm always listening.
	I'm always learning, and I'm listening to things that teach me every single time.
	When there's a holiday, and my staff at my company, they're off for the holiday, which is great because they don't bug me.
	And then I get to do vibe coding, which is AI coding.
	And I get so much done on holidays or weekends.
	But I'm not just at the desk all day.
	I'm out exercising.
	I'm, you know, I'm lifting kettlebells.
	I'm enjoying the sunshine.
	I'm taking care of my animals.
	I'm collecting chicken eggs or cleaning out the chicken house from time to time, you know, or whatever I'm doing.
	I'm taking care of goats, dogs, animals, donkeys.
	I'm doing stuff, you know, planting more trees, building out irrigation systems, monitoring the pine needles on my loblolly pine trees and things like that, making pine needle tea.
	You know, I'm doing real things too.
	But I make sure that every hour of every day is something that's going to move me towards my goal.
	And in my case, I have a goal of reaching a billion people with empowering, you know, empowering knowledge, decentralization of human knowledge, especially in areas of health and disease reversals and liberty and freedom, all of that.
	That's my mission.
	Whatever your mission is, you need to make sure that every day you're moving in the direction of your mission, that you're using your time in an intelligent way that takes you closer to your goal.
	And it's totally okay to be far from your goal right now and to recognize that this is going to take a long time to get there.
	That's okay.
	The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, as they say.
	So it's totally okay.
	Additionally, use AI engines to help you plan your goals.
	If you have an idea for the world or an idea for your own future business or your own future career, it's a good idea to ask AI engines, hey, what do you think about this career direction?
	You could ask it questions like, here's what I'm considering doing, or here's a business idea I want to launch.
	And do you think that this will be relevant in five years or 10 years?
	Is something that an individual with my skill set can successfully pursue?
	You know, is this something that I can start with a minimum investment?
	What would be some ways that I can market this idea?
	Offer me some feedback that's critical of this idea.
	Point out the weaknesses or the gaps in this idea or how can I make it better.
	You can talk to AI engines like this and get that kind of feedback and they will help you work through your ideas.
	And they are very good at that.
	And this is why I say no matter what you've done in the past and no matter what your interest areas, you are not obsolete.
	And one of the fundamental reasons why that's true is because you're working in a human economy.
	And as a human yourself, you understand the needs and desires of other humans.
	So in a human economy, the fact that you are human tells you that you will have some resonance with the things that humans need.
	For example, if you want to offer a product in the marketplace, let's say you want to bake pastries or something, right?
	I mean, there's always going to be a place for baking pastries because some people will want pastries.
	Pastries are delicious, you know?
	So there's always going to be humans that want to buy pastries.
	They're always willing to pay something for it.
	Well, you can't easily automate pastry making right now, but you can automate a lot of things around it, such as much of the accounting of a pastry business, the marketing, the logo design, the strategy, the negotiation with the landlord for the rental space.
	You can have AI help you negotiate.
	So yeah, you're still going to make the pastries, which is fine.
	There's no shame in that.
	It's an art.
	You know, it's a way to contribute to society.
	It actually has real meaning.
	And you can use AI to make your business more successful, even to help you choose a location.
	You know, you can maybe you're considering renting a building at this certain location in the city.
	You can ask your AI engine about that.
	Give it properties about that location.
	Is this a good idea?
	You know, will the economy support pastry purchases for years to come?
	What kind of pastries are most popular?
	What's the best marketing angle on pastries?
	You know, what would be some of the best wholesalers for pastry ingredients to be able to buy ingredients in bulk in order to save money on the commercial side.
	So lots and lots of ideas there.
	Okay, a couple more things and then we'll wrap this up.
	But the healing arts will always need humans.
	The healing arts, I'm talking about everything from massage therapy to acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, chiropractic care.
	Also, there's sound to energy healing, vibrational medicine, just a thousand different things.
	Herbal medicine, you know, naturopathic medicine.
	Humans will always have a role in the healing arts because it's about more than cognition.
	It's about empathy.
	It's about resonance.
	It's about the human side of things.
	It's about being able to feel what your clients and patients are feeling.
	And that's something that machines can't do.
	In addition, there will always be job opportunities for humans that do complex physical tasks.
	For example, plumbing that I've mentioned before.
	Plumbing or welding or being a chef for now.
	Maybe one day there'll be a robot that can be a chef, but that's many years down the road.
	And it's going to take a long time for robots to be plumbers because of the needs of dexterity and crawling into small spaces and having hand grip strength and also just the knowledge of how to diagnose a plumbing problem and having the right tools and having the forearm strength to grip the tools.
	This is why, you know, why are most plumbers strong men?
	Because you've got to be strong to be a plumber.
	You've got to have a lot of hand grip strength and forearm strength in order to be a plumber.
	You don't see a lot of female plumbers for that very reason.
	So, yes, we will always need plumbers.
	We will always need people who run landscaping businesses and greenhouses and who know how to grow plants and harvest plants and who know the whole process of producing herbs and natural medicine through plants.
	Again, There will be a human element that is needed for every one of those.
	And if you think about it, most of the jobs that are being replaced by automation are jobs that were very robotic in the first place.
	Like vacuuming floors in a hotel.
	You know, so there's a robot that can vacuum floors.
	That's great.
	We don't need humans to vacuum floors.
	What a waste of a person.
	You know, humans are meant to do things much more meaningful than walking up and down hallways for eight hours a day running a vacuum cleaner.
	That is not a very rewarding job, and it's not much of a life mission either, right?
	So we should celebrate the automation of these low-end jobs or drudgery jobs because it frees us up to do things that are more meaningful and more challenging and that actually contribute better to society.
	So, you know, don't fear automation.
	Just get ahead of the curve.
	You're not obsolete, in other words, but you may find that your past skill set is obsolete.
	So you got to learn new things.
	Okay, very last thing here is about learning.
	And some people don't learn very quickly and they wonder why.
	How come I can't learn this?
	How come I, you know, I can't figure out math or whatever.
	Let me give you some advice, and it's nutritional advice.
	Your brain will work better when you improve your diet.
	So the cleaner your foods and the cleaner your health habits, the better your brain is going to work.
	And yet, most people bathe their brain in blood that is infused with all kinds of toxins.
	What do I mean by that?
	Well, your blood is made from the things that you eat and things that are on your skin, or even if you inject yourself with vaccines, for example, that goes into your blood.
	Okay.
	It may start out as an intramuscular injection, but it goes into the blood because there's such a thing called biodistribution.
	That's how they function.
	So the things that you eat affect your brain.
	And if you're eating junk food, you're going to have sort of junk brain, you know, junk cognition.
	And that's not going to serve you well.
	If you want to be a super learning machine, you got to have a super food diet.
	And it doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune either.
	You can eat healthy at very low cost.
	You can buy in bulk.
	You can grow some of your own food.
	You can do sprouts.
	Sprouts are dirt cheap and loaded with nutrients, especially broccoli sprouts, you know, which, I mean, broccoli sprouts will generate brain medicine.
	It's called sulforaphane, and it's neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory.
	You can grow it for free.
	I mean, what do you need?
	A jar, a rubber band, a piece of cheesecloth, and some sprouting seeds that are just dirt cheap.
	You know, 10 bucks will last you months, you know.
	I mean, you can grow medicine, okay?
	And you can do it almost for free.
	There's nothing stopping you from having a healthier brain and eating healthier in terms of your food choice.
	There's nothing stopping you except your own knowledge and your own discipline.
	That's it.
	And you can upgrade your knowledge using our AI tools that know a lot about nutrition, by the way.
	And you can upgrade your discipline just by choosing to do so.
	And the healthier you get, the more disciplined you'll become because you're going to find that it's easier to do things when your brain works better.
	When the cobwebs are gone because you've eliminated all the seed oils and the processed junk foods and the excitotoxins and the toxic pharmaceuticals and all that garbage.
	You get it out of your life.
	Your brain works better.
	Discipline becomes easier.
	Ideas come easier.
	So whatever you decide to do in your life, first thing is you got to clean up your diet or improve it in any way you can, upgrade it, and then you're going to find that everything else flows more easily.
	So, see, you're not obsolete.
	You might be living under chemical exposure that is making your life more difficult.
	And you can change that with a choice, and your life will get better from that point forward.
	And that's what I teach.
	You can follow my work at brighteon.com.
	You can use all of my AI tools at brighteon.ai.
	You can read my articles at naturalnews.com.
	Or you can follow my social media posts at brighttown.social.
	I'm also HealthRanger on X.
	So follow me wherever you like, and you'll learn a lot.
	And I will help you navigate this economy so that you're never obsolete.
	You're always at the top of your game.
	Thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Take care.
	There are approximately 100 million American families, you know, 330 million Americans, the average family, and so forth.
	So you've got 100 million American families that are supposed to somehow repay $100 trillion in debt.
	Now, that happens to be $1 million per family.
	Yes.
	And the average family in America today earns $52,000 and they're barely getting by.
	So where is the money going to come from to pay off this debt?
	The question I think is, is it a product of just terrible leadership in our country?
	Or is there a design behind it?
	Welcome to today's interview here on BrightTown.com.
	I am joined again by an incredible person, Gary Haven, who's a friend and a great patriot and a supporter of so much freedom for America.
	And today we're talking about the economic situation in 2026 and beyond.
	Welcome back to the show, Gary.
	Thank you, Mike.
	Glad to be here.
	It's always great to have you here.
	Now, the economic outlook for many nations right now is pretty grim.
	Germany, for example, is suffering an industrial collapse due to loss of energy from Russia.
	The vast majority of German cities and towns are bankrupt.
	France and the U.K. suffering similar things.
	The United States may be experiencing an attempted reindustrialization because of Trump inviting a lot of external money to come in to build data centers largely, but microchip manufacturing, things like that.
	However, other sectors of the U.S. economy are not looking that great at the moment.
	The debt to GDP ratio is still about almost 130% in the U.S. Not as bad as Japan with 230%.
	But China's also got a debt problem as well.
	So can you give us your big picture outlook about where we are economically, both domestically and then in terms of global geopolitics?
	Yeah, you know, Mike, it's funny.
	Back in, I think it was 2008, I was with George W. Bush.
	I took him to Haiti on my aircraft along with his director of the budget management.
	And remember, this is 2008.
	I think we were in debt as a nation at about $8 trillion or something like that.
	That sounds right.
	And I asked the president, what do you think about this debt?
	And both he and his director of the Office of Management and Budget said almost simultaneously, it's unsustainable.
	That was $30 trillion.
	That was $30 trillion ago.
	So we're at a point right now where, and I like to do the math on this.
	So, you know, We're talking about 38 trillion in debt, but we also have unfunded liabilities.
	For example, Medicare and then the Social Security system, trillions of dollars that is owed, but not counted on the books.
	Then we had federal pensions and a variety of things.
	Interest on the debt.
	Interest on the debt.
	Yeah.
	I mean, it easily over very conservatively $100 trillion.
	Yes.
	So there are approximately 100 million American families, you know, 330 million Americans, the average family and so forth.
	So you've got 100 million American families that are supposed to somehow repay $100 trillion in debt.
	Now, that happens to be $1 million per family.
	Yes.
	And the average family in America today earns $52,000 and they're barely getting by.
	So where is the money going to come from to pay off this debt?
	And of course, you have interest on the debt right now.
	This year, I believe, we're at about $1.6 trillion of about a $6 trillion income that the government has.
	And of course, we're borrowing money to pay the debt.
	That looks like a lot of households.
	When a household has to borrow money to pay the minimum on the credit cards, which is what we're looking at here, you've got disaster in your hands.
	That's whether it's a family or whether it's a nation.
	So it clearly is unsustainable.
	The question I think is, is it a product of just terrible leadership in our country?
	Well, a lot of it is.
	There's no question about that.
	Or is there a design behind it?
	And you know, you've seen the book, The Great Taking, where things have been put in place, either through regulation or through laws, where we don't actually own our stock anymore.
	And those people that are listening, they have a 401k and you're feeling pretty good about it.
	Well, show me the stock certificates in your 401k that are issued in your name.
	It's not in your name.
	Yeah.
	You know, they quit doing that when the internet came along a number of years ago.
	They blamed it on paperwork.
	But in reality, we don't own our stocks.
	We have been given a right to those stocks.
	You know, we can buy and sell, and that's good as long as things stay solvent.
	But at some point, the chickens are going to come home to roost, where the government can no longer borrow enough to pay the debt and continue to borrow.
	And I believe that the people that are behind the curtain, the people that control the central banks, which, by the way, the Rothschild family controls all the central banks of the world, they're so far more wealthier than Elon Musk.
	You can't even imagine.
	Well, in 1929, when the stock market crashed, for much the same reason, by the way, you could borrow margin loans to buy stock with 10% down, and the central bank had loosened money and liquidity was out there.
	But then literally in one day, they told the banks in the country they could no longer make margin loans and that all marginal loans had to be collected immediately.
	That's what caused the crash.
	And it's what caused the depression.
	But there were people that knew in advance when it was going to happen.
	The Kennedys, for example, Joseph Kennedy.
	Well, those people knew when it was going to crash, were able to sell out at top dollar and then come back later and buy pennies on the dollar.
	And what's going on behind the scene, where there's COVID or whatever right now, the elite, the globalists, have an agenda that requires three things.
	They want to absolutely control us.
	And number two, they want a massive transference of wealth from us to them.
	And number three, they want a controllable or sustainable population.
	And that means they want fewer of us.
	And so COVID was a great example of that.
	They had us wearing diapers on our faces, and we couldn't go to church.
	And one-third of all small businesses in America went out of business while the big box stores kept open.
	And they're all owned by BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, and the Jewish mafia out there who got massively wealthy off the backs of the average American.
	And of course, when you control the media, you can control the message, the narrative, which they're masters at.
	That's why waking up is so important.
	But they've got us in a trap now where the only exit is bankruptcy in our country, the destruction of the dollar.
	You know, the U.S. dollar has lost 10% of its value against world currencies this year.
	And what's particularly interesting, you mentioned Japan.
	And by the way, I've been to Japan 25 times.
	My former company has 2,000 locations in Japan.
	Half of all gyms in Japan are curves.
	So I know the culture.
	I know the economy really well.
	And their debt to GDP ratio, as you said, is about 250%.
	It's massive.
	Interesting side note.
	And then they just announced new stimulus of, I think, $153 billion equivalent, right?
	massive stimulus.
	Yep.
	And for the first time in a decade, they began to pay interest on Japanese bonds.
	And there goes the carry trade.
	The carry trade.
	That's exactly right.
	Boom, dominoes falling globally.
	And, you know, we had a really tough week in the stock market last week, right after they announced that the people that have borrowed yen at 0% interest and then came over here and converted them into dollars and bought stocks or treasuries even.
	Or treasuries.
	Yeah.
	They suddenly, that margin they were making off of U.S. Treasuries by borrowing zero interest loans in yen, Japan decides to start charging an interest rate.
	That's about 1.5%.
	And that margin just closed.
	And this explains a lot of the crypto problems right now, too.
	I noticed today.
	There's been massive unraveling of a lot of positions.
	I think it was $88,000 today for Bitcoin.
	And so all of that now is unraveling.
	And then, of course, you have the sanctions war and the bricks that have been put in place to protect other countries against U.S. assault and hegemony that's going on out there.
	So you have a lot of things that are being put in place to bring this country down economically.
	And there's really not much that we're going to be able to do about it as a voting citizen.
	The real key is what can we do about it as individuals?
	How can we do wealth preservation?
	Okay, that is a great topic to focus on.
	But let me bring in a couple other things before we get to the practical items, which is the outlook.
	I laugh when people or institutions purchase 10-year treasuries thinking that they know what's going to be in 10 years because of the disruptive power of AI technology, machine cognition right now, just because of recent improvements from Google, Gemini, and Anthropic and Grok and others.
	Plus, China is very strong in this area with DeepSeek and Alibaba, et cetera, Quinn.
	In 2026, I am anticipating the displacement of millions of office jobs, white-collar jobs, primarily in areas like customer service and sales service, where 80% replacement rates are achievable today with today's technology.
	That'll be 90% six months from now, if not higher.
	Those job displacements are going to be massive and they will accelerate.
	And I don't see anybody in Washington, D.C. that's calculating any of this into their equations at all, or even with central banks.
	They're not calculating this.
	And I'm almost done with my question.
	Sorry.
	Eventually, Trump is going to have to approve a universal basic income, it seems, because of UBI.
	So many Americans will have lost job prospects, at least in the short term, because their skill set is now obsolete.
	And Amazon announced it's going to replace 600,000 warehouse workers over the next several years.
	And they already let go 30,000 this year, according to reports.
	So when we start printing a trillion dollars a month to hand out to people who lost their jobs, then that puts us, we're going to be at $50 trillion in debt before the next presidential election.
	You know, I mean, how does that sustain?
	Yeah, you know, you actually, there's a couple questions in there.
	One is, is printing money devalues of the dollar?
	It's just standard economic principle.
	And they're doing massive amounts of it now.
	They've been doing it for a number of years.
	And the dollar, as you know, what we could buy in 1970 is, I think the dollar in 1970 is worth a few pennies today or something like that.
	You're right.
	I think it's a 96% loss of purchasing power, something like that.
	So we're going to continue to see that, which means there's going to be a new dollar.
	And it's probably going to be digital.
	And universal basic income is probably going to become a necessity.
	You know, we kind of have it right now.
	You know, when 42 million people are on food stamps.
	True.
	Yeah, we're well on our way there.
	You know, it kind of goes back to the globalist thing, control, transfer of wealth, and a sustainable population.
	And let me tell you what, when you're showing up to get your universal basic income, which is barely enough to get by on, and you have to behave to get it, and we've seen that modeled through the Chinese social credit score, which, by the way, a lot of the globalists that have spoken about it, they talk about the new global government being based on the Chinese model.
	Yes.
	And so we're going to be told what we can say and do and so forth if we want to provide even minimally for our families.
	That's part of what's coming.
	And this is all by design.
	Well, and can I interject?
	I'm sorry, but the great taking fits perfectly with this because when the banks fail, the government can come along and say, hey, we'll give you all your money back, but it's in this digital system.
	And you have to agree to the terms of this, which is the social credit score combined with the CBDC.
	And we'll give it to you over this time schedule.
	Right.
	Right.
	You know, I had a worldwide business, and a good friend of mine was my master franchisee for Greece, and she lived in Cyprus.
	And when the Cypriot banking system shut down those years ago, I remember that, yeah.
	Well, she had just sold her house for 350,000 euros and had it in a bank, and suddenly her entire life savings was frozen.
	Yeah.
	And what was interesting was how they handled it.
	That was a bail-in.
	It was.
	It was the first trial for bail-in.
	And I actually got to experience it with her.
	I was on the phone with her almost daily.
	Here's what they did at first.
	They said, we're going to give everybody 10% of what they had on deposit.
	But here's what was interesting.
	90% of the people had less, they had $5,000 or Euros in the bank.
	That was it.
	And only 5% had any substantial amount of money to bank, much like it is here, right?
	And the problem was when they announced that, because it affected the 95% that we're going to lose a little of something, they went to the streets.
	The masses rose up.
	So then they said, oh, wait a minute, we're going to rethink this.
	And then they came back and they left the 95% alone, which really didn't have any money.
	And they literally took almost everything from the 5% that were productive citizens.
	And that was their test.
	And I got to see it firsthand in that experience.
	And I remember the narratives around that is that we're going to punish the Russian money launderers.
	Yeah.
	But that's not who the customers were.
	I mean, maybe there were some like that, but that's not the woman you knew.
	No.
	And, you know, even in the U.S. right now, you know, they have all of these ways to watch us and to track our, make us report and to track things.
	You know, if you go into the bank and you withdraw $5,000 out of your account, you go the next day and withdraw $5,000 and you don't report it, you've just committed a felony.
	People know that you can't take $10,000 out at once.
	But if you take it out over a couple of days, structuring.
	Restructuring, exactly.
	And so they have, and they blame it on drug money and a variety of other things, people not paying their taxes and so forth.
	We are no longer citizens in this country.
	We're subjects.
	And boy, if you think it's bad now, wait till there's a crash.
	Wait till the Great Taking acquires the ownership in all of your stocks because they're the fiduciary that hold it.
	And if your audience hasn't read The Great Taking, Google it.
	It's a free book.
	It's about 100 pages.
	And if you've got a 401k or you've got money in the stock market, it's going to blow you away.
	We interviewed the author.
	Oh, did you really?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Everybody needs to know that.
	That's a story I tell on a frequent basis anytime I'm with somebody prominent.
	Well, and that's because people don't understand counterparty risk.
	They really do not understand that.
	Whereas the gold and silver people understand self-custody is the answer.
	Even a lot of the crypto people understand Bitcoin in your own self-custody, that counts.
	Bitcoin ETFs held by some other institution, that's not real.
	That doesn't count.
	Counterparty risk.
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	If you can't touch it, you don't own it.
	Right.
	That's right.
	And, you know, it's funny.
	Maybe 5% of people in America own any kind of metals.
	That's extraordinary to me.
	When metals are the only real money and currency is not money by definition because it's not a store of value.
	No, no, it's called fiat for a reason.
	Right.
	Right.
	So what does this mean then for where this country goes?
	Because I am certain, Gary, I am certain that AI is going to replace millions of jobs next year alone.
	And as you know, I was showing you one of my AI projects.
	I'm an AI developer.
	I see behind the scenes, and I talk to frontier model developers, and I have for two years.
	There's no question that AI can now do, for some jobs, 90% of what humans can do.
	For other jobs, it might only be 50%.
	And I'm talking about white-collar jobs.
	So as soon as company owners realize this, they're going to automate.
	And even if they don't fire the human workers, they're going to augment them with AI to where they won't hire other humans as they scale up, right?
	I mean, with your business, the business that you founded and ran for so many years so successfully, if you could have one human with 10 AI agents to handle customer service emails with better quality, with no complaints, nobody's sick, nobody taking holidays, but better customer service for your customers, wouldn't you augment the human worker with AI?
	Absolutely.
	Yes, and you wouldn't do it because of a moral concern.
	You would do it to be competitive.
	Exactly.
	Because if you didn't do it, somebody else will take your market share.
	Yep.
	And that's the reality of the marketplace, right?
	Exactly.
	You know, there's some good news in the midst of this.
	In fact, there's a lot of good news.
	Let's kind of talk about that for a minute.
	Do you know that there were more millionaires made in America during the Great Depression than in any other period in history?
	I didn't know that.
	That's interesting.
	And then because of disruption.
	And we're about to have disruption with AI as it goes through our industries.
	And those people that are thinking and that are discovering and innovating are going to figure out ways that AI can be used as a tool to add value to their circumstances.
	That's right.
	And I happen to be talking to somebody, but you can't talk about it today because you can't announce it yet.
	No, that's okay.
	But I get exactly what you're saying.
	You're absolutely right.
	And actually, I have the same conclusion that for every person who loses a job to AI, that actually can free humanity from the drudgery of low-cognition jobs.
	And through retraining, which is now free, because you can learn any skill you want at zero cost by using free AI agents, you can get an MBA education from AI.
	And let me say this, Gary.
	Every employer in America, the corporate employers now, I can't say every, but most, they no longer emphasize what degree you have.
	They emphasize whether you know how to use AI in your job.
	If you come in with a resume, like, I know how to use AI, I know how to semi-automate this job, you're hired.
	And you can teach that.
	I mean, you can have AI teach you that at home at no cost.
	So there's no barrier to upgrading your job skills right now.
	Yes.
	No barrier.
	The only barrier is the barrier that people put on themselves.
	And you know what?
	That applies to really everything in life.
	This is going to be a fantastic opportunity for thinking people that are willing to adapt and willing to take the tool and embrace it rather than be afraid of it.
	But it's going to be disruptive.
	And I agree with you.
	For sure.
	I think we're going to see a basic universal income.
	And as I mentioned, I think we already have that, you know, with 42 million people on food stamps.
	By the way, the amount of money, the average amount of money that a person gets for their family on food stamps is about $250.
	It doesn't feed your family.
	Yeah, that's amazing.
	But that's what we're going to find with universal basic income when it becomes a reality.
	It's going to be barely enough to survive.
	After all, they don't want us to eat meat, right?
	That's true.
	They've let us know on that.
	No, they want you to be dependent on the system.
	Yeah.
	So it's just barely enough to survive by design.
	So I think the points we're making here is don't sit back and allow yourself to be a victim of the disruption.
	Right.
	And there's a lot of aspects to that.
	One is start prepping yourself to be a productive person in the new economy that's coming because there's going to be incredible opportunities for people.
	There'll be more millionaires made in this disruption than there was during the 1930s.
	But it's those people that are thinking correctly, thinking well, that have the courage and the willingness to work hard.
	You know, I wasn't able to build my company because I was lazy.
	No one ever accused you of being lazy, that's for sure.
	Somebody asked me on an interview, you know, you built the largest fitness franchise in the world.
	Do you consider yourself lucky?
	Lucky?
	Yeah.
	And I said, well, I learned something.
	The harder I work, the luckier I get.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	And this disruption that you speak of right now.
	And, you know, for example, I showed you a project that I'm about to roll out.
	There are new opportunities that did not exist before that can be, I mean, look, I've seen ideas, I've seen prototypes of ideas that are but a shadow of what I just showed you that instantly received hundreds of millions of dollars in VC funding.
	Yeah.
	That were a pale shadow of it.
	I mean, you can instantly add value to society in new ways because of the disruption, which is your point.
	That's what you're saying.
	And the easy way to not be left behind in this is to break your paradigm.
	The new future is not going to be like the old world that we came from.
	Yeah.
	You know, on a side note, and I went to AI for this last night.
	My son, Brandon, who you know, lives in Missouri, and we are developing a concept for a survival community.
	And the housing on the survival community is the key because you can't build a McMansion in a survival community.
	And what people want is something they're comfortable with, that's efficient and so forth.
	So we've been looking for all different materials and things.
	And I was talking to my wife about it.
	When we grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, how large was the home we lived in?
	They were small.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	But we were okay with that.
	We didn't know any better, right?
	Right, right.
	In fact, so I asked AI that question last night.
	What was the average size in square footage of the middle-class home in the 1950s?
	Let me guess.
	750 square feet.
	A teeny bit bigger, but not much.
	800?
	800, 900, right.
	Okay, okay.
	And then it said, and it increased in 1960 to 1,100 square feet.
	Wow.
	So we basically grew up in thousand square foot homes.
	And the families, by the way, were much larger, right?
	Yes.
	Shared rooms.
	They had one bathroom.
	Everybody shared it and so forth.
	I had four siblings and we lived in the typical middle-class home in those years.
	So I was watching Fox News yesterday, and they were talking about the housing crisis, right?
	And the guy went straight to mortgage rates.
	The problem is mortgage rates, problem mortgage rates.
	So I also asked AI last night, what's the average size of homes in America today for middle-class people?
	2,500 square feet.
	Wow.
	Yeah, I was surprised.
	With a 50-year mortgage coming up.
	Exactly.
	That's going to solve all the problems, right?
	And so the real answer is not the mortgage rates.
	In fact, the average mortgage rate was 6% anyway, right?
	All those years.
	And, you know, we're at six and a half right now.
	That's not the problem.
	And nobody seems to realize this.
	The problem is, people are trying to live in McMansions on a $52,000 budget.
	So part of the design of this housing project we're going to be doing.
	And by the way, Thomas Massey is working on this with me.
	Cool.
	He said that if he gets thrown out of office because of the APAC attack, he's going to go full-time and help us work this project.
	He's got 50 patents to his name by the way.
	He is brilliant.
	So we have found that a one-bedroom home in about 500 square feet can be beautiful.
	In fact, we built 10 of them already.
	And that's all people really need as a starter home or as a retirement home.
	That's right.
	Or even up to a kid or two, which is most of the market today.
	So the housing project is a good example of how you use your innovation, your intelligence to look at problems and offer solutions.
	And so I think we can solve the housing problem.
	It's not the mortgage rates.
	It's the McMansions that people are expecting.
	That's the only thing on the market.
	It's all the builders are building because they've not figured out a way to make money doing mass production of five, 600 square foot homes or even a thousand square foot home.
	See, that's extraordinary because the expectations of the American consumer are so high now.
	And also, it's a cultural thing where everybody wants instant profits.
	A lot of young people want to be instant influencers on YouTube.
	And they have an expectation they want to earn $600,000 a year in their 20s on average based on surveys.
	And that's actually not going to happen for the vast majority of them.
	My grandparents lived in a tent following the Great Depression, worked for a company in Colorado, and the company would give you a base salary and a plot in a field with a canvas tent.
	And that's how they got started in a tent, right?
	In Colorado, which brutal winters there in a tent, right?
	But they survived.
	They made it through.
	You might be shocked to hear this, but to this day, just because I don't have a lot of priority on this, I actually live in a one-bathroom structure that's less than a thousand square feet because I don't care.
	Because I live on hundreds of acres, and my gym is out in a forest, by the way.
	I lift kettlebells in the forest.
	I mean, I just don't spend much time in the house.
	I cook a meal, make a smoothie, I'm out.
	I don't care.
	I've got more important things to focus on.
	But we have to learn to live without all the glitz and the glimmer of the fake wealth that people want to have, especially at a younger age when they haven't earned it yet.
	It takes time.
	Yeah.
	We have to bring people back to the reality.
	And that's going to be a factor in this new economy that we're coming into.
	Yes.
	You've got to be productive within the opportunities that are there.
	And you only get that way by thinking well.
	Right.
	And by doing hard work, by doing the prep.
	There's going to be a huge opportunity.
	Now, you know, in the meantime, debt has become something that, you know, I haven't owed anybody even a dollar since I was 35 years old, which, by the way, is 35 years ago.
	If I wanted a new car, if I wanted to buy a ranch, a new jet, I've done pretty well, right?
	But I paid cash for it.
	I did not go to the bank and borrow it.
	Nope.
	And we're all.
	It's paperwork that way, too.
	Yeah.
	And you're like me, you're also debt-free.
	There's so few of us that think that way.
	And it's called deferring gratification, by the way.
	That's right.
	We have mastered the ability to defer gratification.
	And that's a character attribute that we need to restore.
	And, you know, I've got some family members with kids that have just graduated and got their first job and then gone and bought a $50,000 vehicle, literally buried themselves in debt.
	And that's kind of the norm.
	And so they get married at 21, they have a child, and now they are married to a job that they probably hate because they have to pay the mortgage and provide for everybody.
	You know, deferring gratification and earning something before you begin to spend it.
	Man, we've got to restore that.
	That's going to be restored in these difficult times that are coming.
	I agree.
	You know, people are only teachable when they suffer sufficiently.
	And we're about to have the greatest teaching time, certainly in our lifetimes in our country.
	Very good point.
	That's a great segue to the final segment I want to ask you about this, which is our purpose and the spiritual calling that we have.
	Because one of the great benefits of this disruptive new technology and maybe the reset and possibly even the collapse of our dollar currency, which is fake money, there's the potential for things to be much better and much improved on the other side for humans to live with greater purpose.
	So to be free from a lot of the drudgery and a lot of the indebtedness, but you might live in a 500 square foot one bedroom place and still be happier than what you are today.
	So talk to us about the evolution of purpose, mission, and consciousness along this pathway.
	Great.
	That's a great question.
	There's two questions that we have to ask ourselves.
	I think they're the two greatest questions of all.
	The first one is, who am I?
	Now, identity has been a battlefield out there.
	And it's crazy how they've run with it and caused confusion in people.
	So if someone were to ask me, who are you?
	How do I identify?
	This is my answer.
	And it's, I think, the most important questions you can ask someone.
	Well, first of all, as a Christian, I believe that I am an individual who was created in the image of a loving God.
	No one has ever existed like me before or will be like me afterwards.
	I am unique.
	This loving God, who made me in his image, made me to love him and to be loved by him.
	And then the second great question is, what is your purpose?
	Well, knowing who I am, I believe that my purpose is to serve this loving God, to listen to him.
	He has plans to prosper me, not harm me, and to be an emissary.
	I literally wear the signet ring of a creator God, and I walk in this world as his emissary, teaching people about his love and being about his business.
	When I wake up every morning, the first thing I do, and you'll appreciate this when you're 70, I say, thank you, God, for this day.
	I wake up with an attitude of gratitude.
	Yes.
	And then the second thing I say is, what do you got for me to do?
	How can I serve you today?
	How can it be about your business?
	And you live that.
	I mean, you really work that principle daily.
	Yeah, I mean, he's faithful to assign me.
	And, you know, I don't drag along guilt and shame and blame because I'm not always perfect.
	One thing Christians often forget to do is forgive themselves.
	Jesus paid the price, man.
	I'm, you know, my job is to go into that throne room first thing in the morning boldly because Jesus paid the price for that and tell that my loving God that I'm available for him and has send me.
	And let me tell you what, he sent me on adventures in Haiti with three of my aircraft for six weeks flying search and rescue.
	We're the only rescue for these people who've been wounded in the hurricane and flying through tornadoes and, you know, North Carolina.
	Yeah, North Carolina, right?
	There too.
	Your helicopter.
	After Hurricane Helene.
	And, you know, that's part of who he is.
	The Bible says that he'll give us the desires of our heart.
	Well, I love aviation.
	And so for me to, you know, I flew Rand Paul, who's an ophthalmologist to Haiti.
	And we took 250 blind, elderly, desperately poor Haitians, and we removed cataracts.
	Wow.
	We gave 250 blind people sight.
	Transformative.
	I get to do that because I know who I am and I know why I am.
	And so living your life out at that level, there's nothing to fear.
	There's only joy and hope and purpose.
	And it doesn't mean things always go the right way, but when you stumble, it's probably a learning opportunity.
	So that when you get up, you know, Zig Ziegler, the old motivational, he was my personal friend, my personal mentor.
	Oh, really?
	Wow.
	Talk about a, you know, and literally God put him in my life.
	You know, he'd call me in the morning and stuff.
	But Zig used to say, it's not how fast you run that wins the race.
	It's how quickly you get up after you fall.
	That's extraordinary.
	And there's a quote, maybe it's Mark Twain.
	He seems to have said everything, but the two most important days in your life are the day you were born and then the day you find out why.
	Yeah.
	And that's what you're speaking to.
	And, you know, what you and I have in common is that, and this is a blessing, that we know why we're here.
	And we, so there's no question in our minds when we wake up, what is our mission today?
	Now, yeah, the Lord might give us different tasks or different challenges on each given day, different setbacks to work through or different opportunities, but we don't wake up and think, you know, life is pointless.
	Yeah.
	You know, like that thought is just not in my reality.
	Yeah.
	And that's a blessing.
	How many antidepressants did you take today?
	Yeah, right.
	My whole life, that's a zero.
	That's a zero for life.
	You know, I don't have time to be depressed.
	No.
	No.
	I mean, it's extraordinary to me, but I'm glad you're speaking on this because a lot of people are losing.
	See, you know, we talk about AI replacement and jobs.
	A lot of people, their identity is so tied to their job that if they lose their job and they start to think, oh my God, I've just been replaced by a machine.
	I'm worthless.
	I'm a worthless human.
	That is, I mean, don't dwell on that.
	Up your skills, up your knowledge.
	Do better for your future.
	And that's all up to you.
	Nobody's going to come along in this realm.
	No government official is going to come along and rescue you.
	You've got to take it upon yourself with your God-given creativity and intelligence to revolutionize your own future.
	And that's our message today is to seize that moment and make your future better.
	You know, I spoke last week at a senior high school in a small town.
	And I talk about a tough audience, by the way.
	Oh, yeah.
	14 to 18 year olds.
	Yeah.
	I spoke the next day in Waco in front of the entire prominent citizens of the community, judges.
	I had a Supreme Court, Texas Supreme Court justice on the front row.
	That was nothing.
	It was the high school that kept me up.
	But I told these kids, and I'm going to tell your audience too, that all of you have a secret weapon.
	You know, it's kind of like Batman.
	You may not know it, but I'm going to tell you what it is right now.
	All of you have free will.
	All of you are free moral agents.
	You have been given a life to live as you choose if you dare to take responsibility for who you really are.
	Now, we're products of our environment, but with free will, we get to choose much of our environment.
	We certainly get to choose how we react to our environment.
	Yes.
	You know, I had a tough childhood.
	You know, I left home at 16.
	I had to give blood to eat.
	You know, I really wasn't given anything in terms of resources.
	But I chose to take my environment.
	I lied about my age and got a job in oil field as a roughneck at 17.
	No kidding.
	You were a roughneck?
	Yeah, and I still have all my fingers.
	That's a rough job.
	Oh, you did.
	At 17, I weighed 155 pounds.
	I loaded cargo ships in Longshoreman when I was 17 in the summer in Beaumont, Texas, in the hull of a ship in a 100-degree day, throwing a 50-pound bag of flour over my shoulder, going up into the hull where there was a spot and dumping it, breathing the flour from my lungs.
	I used to load UPS trucks when I was in college, and those are 110 degrees in the summer in the Midwest, and people shipping 70-pound boxes.
	But you know what?
	It was a free will choice.
	I was making 10 times the minimum wage of $1.10 an hour, by the way, to do that kind of work.
	And I was willing to do that to pay for college and to get ahead and so forth.
	It's just free will.
	And, you know, I said in the earlier interview, people have to be willing to do hard work.
	Yeah.
	Right.
	But, you know, work is gratifying.
	And work motivates you.
	You know, when I was out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico on an oil rig, they'd fly you out, leave you for seven days, and then come back and get you.
	If you worked a double, you stayed seven days, the next seven days, and another seven days.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	I mean, talk, you know, completely away from everybody and everything.
	But man, I made so much money that I could afford to pay tuition and books and things.
	But I remember when I was out there in the winter, it's freezing.
	I was muddy.
	We were working with a drill pipe.
	I said to myself, one day I'm going to work in air condition around women.
	And I'm the founder of Curves.
	Yeah.
	That's exactly what you built.
	It motivated me to do what I ultimately was able to do.
	You just didn't know they would all be lesbians.
	No expectations.
	I'm kidding.
	I'm kidding.
	You know what?
	You saw the South Park episode about Curves, where they depicted us, but that was just a comedy.
	Oh, that's just comedy.
	I'm just kidding too.
	So anyway, free moral agency is a great gift we have if we realize it.
	That's our secret weapon.
	And if you own it, and if you know who you are, you're a child of the king of the universe who's got plans for you and purposes for you.
	And that's how you define yourself.
	And that's how you live your life.
	The opportunities, that's certainly how I was able to not just make a fortune, but to make a difference.
	See, and that's the beauty of it.
	It's more important to make a difference than to make a fortune, but it's great when you can do both because then with the fortune, you can often make a bigger difference when it's applied with principles, which is exactly what you do.
	Well, another Zig Ziglar quote: you can get anything in your life you want if you just help enough other people get what they want.
	That's right.
	I remember that quote.
	It's exactly true.
	You solve even a small problem for a billion people, you become a billionaire.
	Yeah.
	I mean, and that's see, that's that's a maturity about understanding that profit cannot be based on extraction from others in a win-lose dynamic, but rather in a win-win dynamic of helping others and then being helped yourself at the same time.
	You know, a quote that I guess I made it up: joy is a byproduct of the good you do for others.
	I like that.
	You know, when I'm got, and my wife often goes with me on these missions, sitting in a helicopter beside me, North Carolina or Haiti with the aircraft, rescuing people.
	At the end of the day, knowing you've literally saved lives, you've fed thousands of people, you go to sleep that night with a smile on your face.
	That's joy.
	That's right.
	That's how I want to live my life.
	Yeah.
	Amen.
	And that's inspiring.
	You're a great inspiration to me and to so many others who are watching.
	Thank you for all that you do, Gary.
	It's always a pleasure to have you here, and you're always welcome anytime.
	Thank you, Mike.
	I enjoy it immensely.
	And I'm standing beside you and all you do.
	Well, I'm, well, thank you so much.
	And I'm standing with you on what you do.
	And we are, you and I, and our audience and all our supporters, we are literally changing the world, making it a better place, uplifting people with knowledge and skills and with messages of inspiration, even during difficult and chaotic economic times.
	We're not here preaching doom today.
	We're preaching free will and adaptation.
	And that's what's going to get people through.
	And knowing that we are children of a God that loves all of us, no matter what race we are.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And knowing that makes all the difference in the world.
	And the only currency that counts at the end is your currency with our Creator.
	Yeah.
	And that you can earn every day in what you do.
	Every single day.
	And that bank account you do take with you when you go.
	Well done, my faithful servant.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Well, thank you so much, Gary.
	It's an honor to have you here today.
	Always a pleasure.
	And thank all of you for watching.
