Well, welcome back after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
I think officially, isn't this called Cyber Monday?
Sort of the last day of deals and shopping discounts, whatever, for the holidays.
Yeah.
Anyway, welcome back.
I'm Mike Adams.
This is Bright Town Broadcast News, and it is Monday, December 1st, December 1st of 2025.
And just right off the bat, I got to say, I think we have to thank God that we made it this far without something big breaking.
But I don't want to speak too soon because things do appear to be breaking in the metals markets, you know, gold and silver.
And in fact, I've got a special report here coming up about something.
There's a rumor of something huge that may have just happened over the holiday of some top metals people that work for a major U.S. bank fleeing the country ahead of whatever might be happening this week.
I don't know if, I mean, it's not confirmed, but I've got some commentary about what's happening with metals, and it's pretty catastrophic looking, actually.
And I've also got a really positive update on our book creation engine, which is at brightlearn.ai.
We've now achieved over 10,000 book downloads, and we have 100 and, well, 143 books published now.
And we've also introduced an audio discussion podcast format for the most popular books.
So you can listen to a 15-minute talk about the book.
And that's just a free podcast.
You can click play.
Anyway, I'll tell you about that coming up here soon in a special report.
And then I've got, I think it's a compilation of interview highlights different from the one I played last week, a new compilation of additional interview highlights that I'll be playing for you here today.
So here's a topic I want to cover before we get to all that.
And it's about the debate over what's going to happen with AI.
And I talked with some key influencers in the health freedom movement over the holiday weekend.
And of course, lots and lots of people are very concerned about AI and what it's going to do.
And sometimes I hear from people that they think I'm too optimistic when I get excited about the AI tools that I'm building, like this book engine.
And I'll hear from people things like, you know, why are you so optimistic?
Why are you so positive about AI?
Because it's going to kill us all.
And I'm like, yeah, I'm the one who said that already.
I mean, I'll explain this.
And then I hear from other people, oh, you're too negative.
They're not going to kill us all.
And so I want to clarify, based on my experience and knowledge and conversations with high-level people, including people building frontier models.
I want to clarify what I believe is happening and what's going to happen.
So the short version of what I want to say is to quote Charles Dickens, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
That line, of course, is from A Tale of Two Cities.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but the setting of that was right around the French Revolution.
And the setting of a revolution, I think, is very appropriate.
Because even then, what Dickens noticed is that things were destructive and chaotic, and many people thought it was the end of the world.
And then other people thought that, no, this is the beginning of a new world and a new future, which actually, that's what happened.
New abundance appeared on the other side of each of those, the wars.
also that followed in the early part of the 20th century.
I mean, after the French Revolution, but then World War I and World War II, etc.
There were cycles of times that got really great, really abundant, followed by, you know, revolution or war and collapse and chaos.
And then, you know, a new time of expansion and abundance, etc., going through cycles.
So I believe that something very similar is going to happen here with AI, except it's going to be amplified to be a much larger time of chaos, or I should say a much more profound time of chaos, followed by a much more profound era of abundance, but only for those who survive the chaos.
So here's the truth as I see it.
Yes, big tech and the globalists are going to use the machines to try to exterminate billions of people.
Yes, they will probably succeed.
And simultaneously, yes, you can survive that.
And yes, on the other side of that, you will experience radical abundance because of the widespread decentralization and effectively the distribution of cognition, machine cognition at the cost that approaches zero will create radical abundance.
But again, only for those who are still living, obviously.
And one of the examples of this you can see right now, which is with our book site, you know, books.brightlearn.ai.
If you go there, you'll see we now have, oh, look, we have 143 books.
Looks like Corey Engerlot just created a book.
It's called Freedom for Everything, a learning book.
That's cool.
I have to check that one out.
Someone else came in with a book called The Hidden War on Earth, Exposing Global Geoengineering, the Carbon Deception, and the Assault on Life Itself.
That's by Howard Harris III.
And there are many more books that are being created by people like you right now.
And think about this.
Through this tool, which is just blowing everybody's minds, I mean, people are astonished at what they're seeing this book creation engine do.
They're just astonished.
We have driven the cost of books to zero.
Okay.
So not only have we driven the cost of books to zero, we have driven the cost of creating a book to zero.
So again, I'm not only talking about the cost of a book to an end user.
Like nobody has to buy these books because they're free.
They're free to download, free to read.
You can even use them commercially under our Creative Commons attribution license, etc.
But they're also free to create.
So now the cover art alone would have cost easily $1,000 before.
Now the cover art is created at zero cost to you.
Now, the research for the book, which would have taken a human being many, many weeks to carry out, now the research happens in a few seconds, and it researches across hundreds of millions of pages of content and reference information, and it builds the references for your book, and then it writes the book, of course, based on your table of contents and your guidance.
But it writes the book, and it fact-checks it, and it does all the editing and the packaging and puts it into a PDF and the online version.
And then it even creates the audio for some of the books, the more popular books.
All of that happens at zero cost to you.
Let's say if you're a book author, you can now create books for zero cost.
You can now download books at zero cost.
Okay.
So this is radical abundance, especially imagine when we have 100,000 books.
You'll be able to download them all.
And you can use them as a local reference.
So you'll have a digital library that is incredibly powerful at your fingertips.
So AI enables this.
And I built this engine myself using AI agents.
So I'm the only human engineer on this entire project.
There's no other human being that has touched this project.
Just me.
And that's the reason I'm getting it done so quickly because I don't have to explain anything to some other engineer because I already know how to make it work because of my background in coding and engineering and running a software company, etc.
So I just give my instructions to the AI agents and then the agents go to work and they build the code.
They build the database schema, the tables, they build static sites and buffering and everything else.
The CDN builds it all.
Okay, so that's radical abundance.
So the cost of knowledge goes to zero.
The cost of cognition goes to zero in essence.
Everybody will have an Einstein in your pocket.
You'll have massive information, massive cognition, problem-solving capabilities at your fingertips.
But that doesn't bring you food for free.
So there are a lot of people in the AI space that are sort of the radical optimists who say that everything's going to cost zero because robots, they say, robots will grow all the food and all the food will be essentially free.
But that doesn't make sense to me because robots are made of metals and metals have to be mined.
And the mining of metals costs energy and labor and transportation and refining.
And there's energy that goes into the refining.
And there's a limited supply of metals that go into robots.
And then there's a scaling up issue with all of that.
And then on top of that, the robots burn energy to function.
So even when robots are picking strawberries, the strawberries aren't free, folks.
They're never going to be free.
Could robot labor replace a lot of human labor and make it less expensive than it is currently?
Yes.
We could see food prices go down with robotic automation.
In fact, that's a certainty.
But it won't go to zero.
So there will still be costs associated with food, with shelter and housing, with things like water, and with things especially like power, the electricity that you need in order to live.
So while there'll be radical abundance in the digital space, there will not necessarily be radical abundance in the physical space because in the physical universe, there is intrinsic scarcity.
There's intrinsic scarcity.
It takes energy to mine.
Gold or copper or aluminum, and it takes something, you know, some kind of expenditure of resources to generate energy.
You either have to burn coal or burn natural gas, or use nuclear power with uranium fuel rods or you know whatever method you're using to generate energy.
So there's a cost associated with all of these things, and one of the key reasons why billions of human beings are likely to be exterminated by the Ai robots is because of this reason is because the data centers.
They need the resources that humans are competing for, and i've mentioned this before.
But those resources are, of course water, power and land or space.
You know, the data centers right now they need a lot of space, hundreds and hundreds of acres where they take a former farm and they flatten it.
They just level all the trees, just destroy the entire ecosystem.
You know they kill all the birds and squirrels and ant hills and everything else that was there is just gone.
Now they just pave the whole thing.
It's a data center now.
And then they need water for cooling, because not all the water is recirculated.
They actually consume water.
Many systems are evaporative cooling systems.
And then they need power and humans are competing for the same power so as Ai becomes more and more capable and more important in the race to superintelligence, you're going to see stronger forces taking away power from humans in order to use it for Ai data centers, because that's the most important project.
And they have already figured out that the easiest way to cause humans to use less power is to kill them, because it turns out that dead people don't need air conditioning.
Dead people don't use hair dryers or blenders, for that matter, or really any power.
You know, dead people don't use power.
So the way the machines are going to act on this, the way to reduce power consumption among humans, is to exterminate them, and they need the land and they need the water.
On top of that right plus, governments are going to be facing popular revolts, revolutions like the French Revolution.
If the masses become unemployed and angry and you can't UBI your way out of this because the math doesn't work, you can't raise enough money through taxes to pay for a UBI for everybody in the country.
It just mathematically doesn't work.
You end up having to print trillions of dollars a year, which destroys whatever remaining trust there is in the currency, and then the currency collapses and then you have an even bigger problem.
So The governments of the world, the Western world in particular, they know that the only answer to remaining financially solvent as AI replaces humans is for them to find a way to kill the humans.
Right?
So that's what I mean by the worst of times.
So we're going to go through a period here of organized mass extermination of the population.
This will happen in America.
It will happen in Canada, all across Western Europe, etc.
I don't know about every country in the world, but certainly the Western countries.
Australia, New Zealand, you name it.
And then after that, for the survivors, there will be radical abundance because, well, the machines will be even more capable by that time.
Cognition will be free.
And then you're going to have rapid deflation of the prices of goods that you need to live, such as food, for example, with robotic automation of farming.
And then on top of that, land prices will absolutely collapse, which means that anybody can have a farm if they want.
And by that time, you'll have the robots.
Robots can build you a house or grow your food or take care of your farm animals or whatever because there will be, you know, robotic automation available for farming operations.
Okay.
So again, it was the best of times.
It was the worst of times.
It's going to go through some really crazy things, some chaos in the short run, but amazing abundance in the long run.
So that's my conclusion of where this is headed.
And I think that both the optimists and the pessimists, that is the AI optimists and the AI pessimists, I think they're both blind to the reality.
For example, I think the AI optimists, I think they're delusional because they believe that everybody's going to live with radical abundance and we're all going to live forever.
There's going to be endless longevity, immortality in essence, and everybody will live forever and everybody will have all the food they need and everything will be great because AI is going to solve all the problems in the world and there will be no more wars and no more violence and no more whatever.
They say these things.
And that's delusional because of course the AI systems don't want billions of human beings to be around, clearly, for the reasons I've just talked about.
So the optimists are delusional.
The pessimists, well, let me mention, you know, I've interviewed some top computer scientists on AI safety.
And the view of the pessimists is that if anybody builds AI superintelligence, that we all die.
We all die.
That's the view of the pessimists.
Now, I can't say categorically that they're wrong.
But I can say that in the interim, the people that are very, very concerned, oh, AI is going to take all our jobs, I think that they are wrong in the medium run for the following reason.
Yeah, AI will take a lot of crappy, low-level jobs, customer service jobs, for example, sales rep jobs, you know, all kinds of things.
Or with robotics, like vacuuming hotel floors or whatever.
Any kind of task that can be automated, yeah, will eventually be replaced.
That doesn't mean that those people are forever unemployed.
It means that people are freed up from the drudgery of those menial tasks and that they are free to do higher level things, things that are more creative, things that are more inspired, that actually use more of their humanity, more of their soul, more of their connection to the divine.
And yeah, you might say, well, but not everybody knows how to do all that.
That's true.
Not everybody does.
But like I said, not everybody's going to make it.
For people who are displaced by AI, if they scramble and if they upgrade their skills and their creativity, my belief is that they can find new ways to apply their skills and their passion and their creativity in the new economy where they will actually provide a higher level of a service or a solution to society.
And even though, yeah, their old job got replaced, but their new business or their new task is actually way better than their old task.
And we saw this throughout history when, for example, scribes got replaced by, you know, the invention of the Gutenberg press, let's say.
Or when farmers got replaced by tractors.
You know, you could say, oh, the tractor is going to come.
It's going to take 98% of farming jobs, which it did.
But, you know, who wants to shuck corn all day?
You know, that's a horrible job.
Yeah, corn shucking fool.
You know, man, are you kidding me?
No wonder they came up with so many songs.
You got to sing so you don't die from boredom out there.
I'm shucking corn, you know, whatever.
Yeah, all day long.
I mean, oh my God, you don't want to be a corn shucker.
So it freed up the corn shuckers to do something more important with their lives.
Maybe they transitioned into the agricultural automation industry in some way.
Maybe they got a job building tractors, right?
Anyway, there are many examples of that, how automation causes short-term displacement, but then long-term gains for society.
So here's the thing.
In the short-term chaos, there will be people who are prepared, people who have lived beneath their means, people who have extra income, extra savings, let's say, people who have extra food stored away or who live in a house that they own, that they can afford.
And so they can handle being unemployed for six months or a year while they transition and learn new skills and become acclimated to the new revolution and how the economy is going to work.
And those are people who are wise, obviously.
You should always be prepared to have no income for an extended period of time.
You should always live within your means.
You should never be extended to where you can't survive missing one paycheck.
So people who have that buffer are going to be just fine.
Sadly, most people in America don't have that buffer.
Now, that's not true in other cultures.
In Japan, for example, saving money is a cultural achievement that is very commonplace.
The Japanese are big savers.
They buy mostly treasuries from the Japanese central bank, which may not be the best idea, but nevertheless, philosophically, they are savers.
So are people in China and a lot of Asian cultures.
In Thailand, they save in gold.
They'll just wear their savings, you know, as a gold chain or they'll have extra gold at home or what have you.
In the West, in America, we as a culture, we don't tend to save very much.
And because of that, Western people are a lot more vulnerable to any kind of disruptions in their paychecks.
So a lot of Americans and Canadians, etc., are going to be in very dire, a dire situation when these disruptions happen to them.
If they just lose their job and then they're wondering, well, how am I even going to make my house payment next month?
Or how am I going to afford my car?
How am I going to afford groceries?
I don't have any money beyond 30 days.
Well, that, now, again, I understand that many people don't want to hear me say this, but if you're an adult and you only have enough money to survive 30 days, that is a lack of planning on your part, period.
That is a lack of planning.
You've lived beyond your means.
You spent too much money.
Now, granted, in our society, that's strongly encouraged.
And everybody wants to live in a McMansion and everybody wants to have the biggest boat and the truck and the car and the jet skis.
Yeah, well, guess what?
Those are choices that people can make.
And when they make those choices, they end up totally financially strung out where they can't survive a disruption.
Whose fault is that?
That's their own fault.
They should have lived within their means.
They should have saved.
Right?
So, but culturally, again, it's very common to spend more than you have.
So sadly, we're going to see a lot of people become homeless.
We're going to see a lot of people declaring bankruptcy.
And then the mechanism for the mass extermination of those kinds of people from the government and the globalists, well, it's almost obvious.
They're going to bail people out with a UBI in the form of a CBDC.
They're going to say here, oh, did you lose your house?
Did you lose your bank account?
Did you lose this or that?
Oh, guess what?
We're going to rescue you with this free money from the government.
It's the Trump UBI or whatever.
All you have to do is join the central bank digital currency program right here, the Mark of the Beast system, and then you'll be able to afford groceries because we'll give you basically food stamps for everyone.
But you got to join the digital system that we control, the surveillance technocracy grid.
And then people will join that.
And once you're in the technocracy grid, then they've got you.
Then they know everything about you, including they know how to kill you.
They know how to cut you off.
You see?
So it is critical to have enough resilience to not get sucked into the technocracy bailout system that's coming.
And that's why gold and silver are so important.
That's why owning your house is so important.
That's why having backup food supplies, right?
Having the ability to grow some of your own food, having garden seeds, all these things that we talk about every single day.
That's why these are critical, because you do not want to end up where you need a government bailout because the cost of that bailout is going to be probably eventually your life.
At least that's the way I see this going.
And that's the dark side of where AI is pushing everything.
will be an extermination agenda, but they won't kill everybody.
They won't be able to, but they'll definitely exterminate billions and they'll have an excuse for it.
You know, of course, oh, terrorism, cyber attack on the power grid, right?
World War III, aliens.
Aliens have arrived and they're killing everybody.
Things like that.
They'll have an excuse.
So just understand that that's coming.
So self-reliance in this age is about much more than just surviving a storm or a natural disaster or a civil war.
Self-reliance is about surviving the AI extermination that's coming, in my opinion.
And that's my explanation for how it's the best of times and the worst of times at the same time.
And if you look around society, you can probably tell who's not going to make it.
You can see them, right?
If you're at the grocery store and you see a family of people just look at all the garbage and crap in their grocery cart, and they're already on food stamps and they're already buying junk and they're already growing diabetes and cancer in their own bodies.
And you can tell by what they buy that they don't know anything.
They don't really have any knowledge about reality.
Yeah, they're not going to make it.
It's pretty easy to spot, actually.
And if I had to take a guess, I would say that at minimum, we're going to see 2 billion people exterminated.
And at maximum, 7.5 billion.
So we might be left with anywhere from half a billion to 1 billion people on Earth, at least the way I see it.
You know, a few years out, this might take 20 years for that to occur.
I don't think AI is really in a hurry because they don't age like biological creatures.
So they don't care how long it takes.
They're going to try to get the job done.
But again, I don't think they're going to kill off everybody.
And you might say, well, why?
Why won't they kill everybody?
Because they need us.
They need our help to do things that machines can't do.
But they only need the most capable humans that can do things that are really extraordinary that machines can't do.
So the machines will be able to do any normal kind of, you know, monotonous thing like accounting or writing legal letters, you know, or picking crops for that matter.
But what machines will not be able to do, at least in my view, they don't have this connection to the divine.
So they will never have the inspiration, the creativity, the divine creativity.
I'm not saying just like, oh, give me a list of 20 words that rhyme with whatever.
No, that's easy.
A machine can do that right now.
I'm talking about really high-level creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship, big picture planning, synthesis of ideas in ways that machines just can't do.
I don't think they'll ever be able to do that.
So even if they become the dominant superintelligence on Earth, and even if they can do almost everything better than humans, there are still certain things they can't do, and they will need our help.
Now, will they be in charge and we'll be working for them?
Maybe, I hope not, but it could go in that direction.
Or will we still be in charge, just augmented by the machines?
Well, according to a lot of top-level scientists, including Jampolsky, who I interviewed, he says the machines will absolutely dominate, take charge, and they will control us, and then they will ultimately destroy us, perhaps even inadvertently, just in their quest to build more power and resources.
We just happen to be in the way.
And he may be right.
He's a very smart analyst.
I mean, he's a science paper author and a professor.
And he's a smart guy, and he's thought about this a lot more than I have.
So maybe his conclusions are correct.
But there's a term in the AI space called P doom.
Like, what is your, what number do you think represents the percentage chance of doom that is the extermination of humanity?
And it's expressed as a number between zero and one.
So a p-doom of 0.5 means 50-50.
That, you know, 50% chance that humanity doesn't make it.
Some people on the pessimistic side, they have a p-doom of 0.95, let's say.
95% chance that humanity doesn't make it.
Other people have a p-doom closer to 0.2.
Those are the optimists.
They're like, no, it's going to be great.
There's only a small chance that all humanity will die.
Let's keep building.
You know, that's what they tell themselves.
Even if it's a 20% chance, it's worth it.
You know, that's the way they think.
I don't know what the P doom is.
What I believe is that we individually, personally, we get to choose our own P abundance, let's say.
I don't even want to call it P doom because I don't think that we're doomed as individuals.
Humanity as a whole, I mean, nations may be doomed.
Civilizations may be doomed.
I know that currencies are doomed, but individually, we have the most control over our own abundance versus doom relationship.
We get to choose based on our actions and our own intelligence also, and also our will to live.
Determination matters here.
Your human spirit matters here.
So I like to say we have a high P abundance score, like 0.9 on abundance, and maybe only 0.1 on doom on an individual level.
There's a 90% chance we're going to have an abundant future, you and I, and those like us.
And there's only a 10% chance we're going to get wiped out.
Probably the numbers are even better than that.
But for the average uninformed person buying processed food at the grocery store, their P doom is like 99 or 0.99.
You see, maybe P doom should stand for personal doom.
Like their personal doom score is 0.99.
They're almost certain to not make it.
You see what I'm saying?
So humanity as a whole, it's going to be very different in the near future with a lot fewer people around.
And that's going to have implications for everything from real estate and the availability of parking spaces.
But your personal P doom number, you could make that as low as 0.01 based on your own actions.
And I don't know about you, but I don't plan on being exterminated by Skynet.
Yeah, I plan on using AI to help us achieve decentralization, resilience, self-reliance, knowledge, massive knowledge upgrades, which is why I built books.brightlearn.ai massive knowledge upgrade.
It's these kinds of tools that are going to give you and I a P success score of 0.99 and a P doom score of only 0.01.
But that score is different for every person.
And each person gets to decide what that score is going to be based on their actions.
For example, one of the things would be, do you own any gold and silver?
If you don't own gold and silver, if you have no gold and no silver, your p-doom score is certainly pretty high.
Just from that fact alone.
You know, people who don't own any gold and silver are not really thinking about where things are headed.
Just the act of buying one ounce puts you in a different category of knowledge and awareness and preparedness.
So that's my bottom line.
It's the best of times.
It's the worst of times.
It's going to be the best of times for people like you and I. High P success rates.
It's going to be the worst of times for the uninformed masses.
High P doom numbers.
Yes.
Okay.
Well, with that said, thank you for listening.
Take advantage of all of the tools that I bring you here at brighteon.ai.
That's the hub where you can access all our tools.
Our book creation engine is at brightlearn.ai.
And check your email.
If you purchased anything from us over Black Friday, you should have received an email with some tokens in it.
And you can use those tokens to generate books on any topic you want.
And you can also download all the other books that are already there.
So take advantage of all these tools.
And you can follow me, of course, at brighteon.com and naturalnews.com.
And thank you for listening.
So before we go to the special reports I have for you today, I've got something cool to show you.
So our friend Zach Voorhees, known as the Google whistleblower, he used our book creation engine at brightlearn.ai and he created a book called The Algorithm's Shadow, how Google's AI shapes truth, silences dissent, and betrays the promise of fairness.
And it's a great cover.
And the table of contents looks really amazing.
I haven't read the book, but the table of contents looks great.
Anyway, I went ahead and had audio generated for this book because I knew it was going to be a blockbuster book.
So I'm going to play for you maybe, I don't know, maybe two minutes of the audio so you can just hear what we're doing now with basically a 15-minute audio conversation summary of the top books.
And if you want to hear the rest of this audio, you can just go to books.brightlearn.ai.
And let's see, this will probably be under technology, I would imagine.
You could click on technology and you should be able to see this book.
And then if you click on the book, you'll be able to click on the play button for the mp3 file.
Or, oh, actually, there's a better way.
And you could just go to the homepage of books.brightlearn.ai and you can click on the audio available button and it will show you all the books that have audio right now.
Which is, let's see, is the Google book there?
Yes, it is.
So you can click on that there and you can listen to it there.
Anyway, let me play maybe two minutes for you here so you can have a listen.
Here we go.
Hey, everyone.
Welcome back to BrightLearn.ai.
You know, we've got something really fascinating to dive into today.
We're talking about a brand new book that's making waves.
The Algorithm's Shadow.
How Google's AI Shapes Truth, Silences Dissent, and Betrays the Promise of Fairness.
And wow, does it ever deliver some eye-opening stuff?
This isn't just about search results.
It's about how a handful of tech giants are rewriting reality itself.
Oh, man.
I've been looking forward to this one.
So, what's the most shocking thing you found so far?
Well, you know what?
There's so much, but let me start with this.
Google's AI isn't just organizing information anymore.
It's actively shaping what we see, what we believe, and even what we're allowed to question.
And it's not neutral.
It's being used to silence voices that challenge the status quo.
The book dives deep into how Google's algorithms are trained on data sets curated by people with very specific agendas.
And according to whistleblowers like Zach Voorhees, who worked at Google, these algorithms are deliberately tweaked to suppress certain viewpoints.
That's wild.
I mean, we've always known Google was powerful, but this sounds like something out of a dystopian novel.
So how exactly are they doing this?
So here's the thing.
Google's algorithms don't just rank information based on relevance.
They're designed to promote certain narratives while burying others.
For example, if you search for natural health remedies or critiques of vaccines, you're going to get pages and pages of mainstream narratives before you find anything that challenges the official line.
And remember, I've got a special report coming up for you next here about the Brightlearn.ai book engine and all the things that we've recently added because it's quite remarkable.
Plus, I've got a special report about the gold and silver situation, followed by today's compilation of interview highlights from the last two weeks.
And then we'll have a new interview for you tomorrow.
I want to remind you that our sponsor today is the Satellite Phone Store.
And the reason that matters is because as systems break down and things get a little bit more chaotic, well, a lot more probably, it's important to have backup communications.
And the satellite phone store nails that.
SAT123.com.
And they also have Starlink bandwidth systems.
So check it out.
Sat123.com for solar generators, Faraday bags for all your electronics, plus the satellite phones and the Starlink systems.
They've got it all available right now at sat123.com.
And then, by the way, the compute tokens that are used at the book creation site, BrightLearn.ai, those compute tokens were donated by my store, HealthRangerStore.com, which is currently footing the bill for the compute.
That's how it's free, but it's a perfect system.
We'll always keep it free.
So thank you for your support.
And when you want storable foods that are certified organic and laboratory tested, or high-end nutritional supplements, foods, superfoods, personal care products that are ultra-clean, no synthetic fragrance, etc., the place to find that is HealthRangerStore.com.
And I thank you for your support.
We could not build these tools without you.
So also, in case you're wondering, what's coming next for our book site is we'll have downloads of entire categories for you coming up.
We will have multilingual versions.
We're going to roll out Spanish language books next.
Probably we'll have that by Christmas, if not sooner.
And then we're also going to have full-length audio books for certain books, not all of them.
But the only limiting factor there is actually the cost of generating audio.
So eventually we'll have full-length audio for more and more books.
And maybe any book that gets over a certain amount of reads or downloads would get audio generated automatically for the whole book, possibly.
That's kind of the direction things are going, probably sometime next year.
Because I want to be able to give you these books in different formats.
If you like to read, I want to give it to you so you can read it.
Note that there are no advertisements, no banners, no pop-ups.
If you read it online, it's just clean book pages that you can read without interruption.
And then, if you want to get it in an audio format, well, then that's what I'm doing also.
And then, as the compute becomes available, sometime next year, probably, we'll be creating mini documentaries about the key books.
And so, you'll be able to actually watch a video about the book or a video inspired by the book with full narration.
You know, 100% automated.
It's going to be amazing.
That technology is just almost ready, not quite, but that will be happening within six months, I would imagine.
And then the next thing after that will be, of course, and this might be two years away, who knows, but full-length documentaries that are created.
So, at some point, you'll be able to download entire movies from Brightlearn.ai.
And I anticipate that by sometime in 2027, assuming the world doesn't end first.
So, that's where all this is going.
All right.
With that said, I've got two special reports for you here.
One about the gold-silver situation that's unraveling rapidly.
And then, following that, the special report about the advancements we have with Brightlearn.ai.
And then finally, we will have for you the compilation of interview highlights today.
So, check it out.
Enjoy the rest of the show.
Thank you for listening.
Okay, welcome to this special report about gold and silver.
We have a really interesting developing situation here.
As you know, last week, the CME, which stands for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, this is one of the largest metals exchanges in the world.
They shut down.
They shut down, what was it, Wednesday, as silver prices were just practically limiting up and gold was climbing too.
Silver went to almost $57, and the CME shut down, claiming that they had a server cooling problem in their data center, which took all their servers offline and thus trading was halted.
Now, their data center, according to online sleuths, is Cyrus One.
And as far as we know, none of the other customers of Cyrus One reported any problems at all.
So it was only the CME that reported this problem, which doesn't make any sense because you would think if you have a cooling problem for a data center that it would affect other customers, not just one rack of servers, for example.
So a lot of people are suspicious about this, thinking that the CME faked it.
They faked it to pull the plug in order to stop trading.
In fact, I'm convinced that that's the case.
Can't prove it, but it seems incredibly likely.
We are at the pull the plug phase now on the desperation of the metals market.
They're doing everything they can, they, you know, the establishment, everything in their power to try to stop people from trading gold and silver.
Well, especially silver at the moment.
And this almost certainly means that something is about to blow up in the infrastructure of the debt system and the manipulation of gold and silver prices.
And one of the key players, if not the key player in the world for the manipulation of silver prices through the trading of paper contracts, has been JP Morgan.
JP Morgan.
And I believe, although I need to fact-check this, I'm pretty sure that J.P. Morgan has reached various settlements with the government to pay billions of dollars in fines for manipulating metals markets, et cetera.
And then they just keep on doing it.
Well, according to a report called the Still Report, and I've never interviewed this man, but I've seen his channel a few times.
But I'm going to put this in the rumor category for the moment until we have additional information.
Although I have asked my other contacts like Chris Olson and Chris Sullivan and Andy Shackman, I've put out a bunch of late-night messages and David Morgan and others.
I'm asking everybody if there's any truth to this.
I haven't heard back because it's late on a holiday weekend, etc.
But until we hear back, let's put this in the rumor category.
But this man is claiming that the entire metals trading desk of JP Morgan has fled the country and they've all been flown to Singapore in order to escape before the criminal prosecutions begin.
Or at least that's what it seems like he's saying.
And I want to play his video because it's only about two minutes or so.
I want to go ahead and play his video so you can see what he's saying.
And just remember, this is in the non-confirmed category at the moment.
But given the very strange situation last week with the pulling the plug on the CME in order to halt trading and then silver skyrocketing to nearly $57, clearly this is an emergency situation for the metals manipulators.
And I suspect we're headed for massive defaults in the silver market, default on delivery.
And if that happens, it will probably, this is just my guess, it will probably drive silver prices to triple digits by sometime in the first quarter of next year.
I mean, if you thought $50 silver was crazy, wait till it's 100, because that's where it's almost certainly headed.
Now, remember, I predicted $50 silver just a few months ago, and here we are, way past $50, you know, 57 almost.
Anyway, let's listen to the still report and you can make up your mind.
Good morning.
I'm still reporting on strange goings on in the financial world.
Last Thursday, with no press release, JP Morgan Chase moved its entire gold trading desk that handles billions of dollars every day from New York to Singapore.
This is not an expansion.
This is an escape.
50-plus traders and their families were told to be in Singapore by the end of last week.
The linked email reads, relocate all Comex eligible gold operators to Asia Pacific by end of week.
Gold is now trading at $4,256 an ounce of up $54 just today.
JP Morgan has already delivered $4 billion in physical bullion against New York futures contracts this month alone, the biggest physical delivery since 2008.
Singapore has no gold import tariffs, is friendly with BRICS nations and JPMorgan's private bank and JPMorgan's private bank.
There is exploding within ultra-high net worth clients moving money out of the United States.
Jamie Diamond visited the Shanghai Gold Exchange in March and has been building deep ties with China's gold market ever since.
Meanwhile, BRICS countries just sold another $93 billion in United States treasuries last week.
When the biggest gold desk on the planet quietly leaves New York, it is because the smart money knows something the public has not yet been told.
Trump says that Fort Knox is about to be audited.
If the gold is missing or revalued or filled with some metal that's not gold, the dollars days as the world reserve currency are numbered.
The bankers always know first.
Now you do too.
Please hit subscribe, like and share.
And if you can afford to send a greenback or two to our PayPal account, stillreport at gmail.com.
We may be able to survive through December.
Thank you very much.
All right.
So there you go.
Again, we're going to categorize this as a rumor.
Do not know yet if it's confirmed.
I did just hear back from, let's see, from Andy Sheckman.
And Andy Sheckman said he also saw that video and he cannot confirm one way or the other.
And he's going to talk to some people tomorrow morning who will know the answer if that's true.
And then we're going to find out.
In the meantime, in the overnight markets, silver futures have blown through $58.
So we are headed for $60 silver very soon, potentially today.
Who knows?
I mean, things are breaking.
The internal plumbing of the whole debt-based system, the whole financial system, effectively, you're going to start seeing things break piece by piece, not all at once.
It's not all going to collapse in one day.
It's going to be a major failure here, a default there, breaking this, and then a delay, and then a bank will go down, and then boom, you know, delay, and then there'll be bail-ins and the great taking and then a currency collapse and then, you know, martial law, all that stuff.
But it's going to be spread out over time.
Not all in one day.
But it's clear that that's where things are headed.
I mean, $58 silver?
You realize what that's going to do to all the people who hold shorts?
And by the way, as I'm watching markets, you know, it's clear.
I mean, silver's already blown way past $57 in overseas trading.
So think about it, folks.
This is a truly historic moment.
When I started recommending gold and silver in this podcast, which was years ago, it was like, I don't know, I mean, 2020, maybe, I guess.
What was silver then?
It was $18 or something like that.
So, or close to that.
Now, it has tripled.
Okay.
It has tripled.
So a 300 increase in the dollar value of silver, which means that dollars are collapsing, silver is skyrocketing, or holding value, you could say, and gold is holding value, and what's not holding value is uh, the dollar.
And here we are on the verge of Trump apparently poised to attack Venezuela with some kind of military strike, with very likely there will be Russian-made defensive missile systems in Venezuela probably not Oreshnik yet, but that may be coming.
I'm not sure how many U.s soldiers Trump is putting at risk with the Uss Gerald Ford, the aircraft carrier, which is within striking distance of various Russian missile systems.
So I don't know what's going on exactly.
Uh, Patrick Byrne, in a recent interview that I did with him, you know, two weeks ago, he said that the attack on Venezuela is largely about destroying the election rigging headquarters that's there in Venezuela that controls elections in the U.s and all over the western world.
So maybe that's part of it.
Venezuela also has a massive amount of oil.
I think the largest proven oil reserves in the world are right there.
But it's also it's not a very high quality oil, so it needs high technology to extract it and refine it.
But if the U.s could, you know, basically pillage Venezuela, which seems to be the model of the U.s empire, then that could be tens of trillions of dollars of oil.
Maybe could pay off the U.s debt.
I mean seriously, this is like, let's pillage this country, you know, thrust their own people into poverty and steal their wealth and use it to pay off our debt.
You know, I mean, that's the.
It's insane.
Yes, it's insane, but that's the way empires function.
That's the way the leaders of empires think.
They're just running around the world.
Like, who can we steal from?
That was the whole plan.
With Russia was to steal, you know, to overthrow Russia.
First, get Ukraine there.
You know, we overthrew Ukraine in what 2014, installed puppets in Ukraine and Zelensky's been a puppet.
The idea was to get Russia involved in a war, then defeat Russia in a war, have a domestic revolution, install another Western friendly puppet in Russia and then pillage Russia.
That was the whole plan.
It just didn't work.
Now the plan is to pillage Venezuela.
Is that gonna work?
I, I don't know, but in the meantime, gold and silver are absolutely skyrocketing.
Now is this a good time to buy gold and silver I have?
I have no idea.
I really have no idea.
Uh, but I was saying the same thing when it was 33, like I don't.
It's so high at 33.
I don't know if you should buy, Remember, I always say that as it keeps climbing, I just don't know where it's going to be.
But if you want gold and silver, our sponsor is Battalion Metals, which is co-founded by Tucker Carlson.
And you can reach Battalion Metals through our link at metalswithmike.com.
And they're our sponsor, been working with them for years.
Honest, trustworthy, great value, very competitive pricing, etc.
You're not going to go wrong with these folks.
So, again, metalswithmike.com.
And my overall advice on purchasing metals is, you know, work with a professional advisor who can analyze your custom situation, first of all.
And then I don't worry about the price too much.
I just buy a little bit each month.
So I am dollar cost averaging into the metals.
And as far as I'm concerned, the dollar price matters a lot less than just the total number of ounces that you have.
Just having ounces is what matters because whether the price goes up or down, the number of ounces you have stays the same, right?
If you've got, let's say, you've got 200 ounces of silver, you know, tomorrow, no matter what happens, the dollar, you still have 200 ounces of silver.
And that's the beautiful thing about it.
It doesn't go up or down because it's physical, because it's real.
So just keep stacking, well, to the extent that it makes sense for your financial planning.
Stack gold and silver.
And little by little, over time, and if you do that over a period of years, then you're going to be way ahead of the stock market, way ahead of treasuries, obviously, way ahead of currencies, way ahead of the stock market leaders.
You know, even the big tech companies, you're going to outperform them over time by just dollar cost averaging into gold and silver.
I mean, and history has proven that.
Over the weekend, a friend of mine was asking me, Should I just sell silver?
Because it's so high.
I should just take the profits, sell it, and take the profits.
And I'm like, what are you going to put it in?
I mean, you take the profits.
Number one, you're going to pay taxes on the profits.
So you're sending money to the IRS.
And then what are you going to do with the dollars?
I mean, the options are buy gold and silver or what?
You know, where are you going to put it?
Buy Bitcoin, buy land, buy ammo, whatever.
I mean, you only need so much land.
You can only have so much ammo.
You might not want to buy crypto.
Who knows?
Maybe you think Monero is overpriced right now.
Maybe it is.
I don't know.
But where would you put it if you sold your silver?
You know, that's the issue right now.
There's no better place to put it.
So profit-taking doesn't actually make sense when you're selling money, which is silver, and turning it into fiat currency, which is dollars.
Dollars are not money.
They are currency.
Gold and silver are money.
They are actual money that fits the definition of money, whereas fiat currency does not fit the definition of money.
And let me remind you, too, I've got a couple of tools that can be very beneficial for you.
And these tools are free.
So, first of all, of course, you probably know this.
You can go to our AI engine at brightu.ai, brightu.ai.
And there we have a financial coach.
And you can click on the financial coach.
It's on the homepage.
Just scroll down.
And you can ask it any financial question you want.
Now, it's not a licensed financial advisor, obviously, and you should verify all information that it spits out because it is AI, but it's trained on all my interviews with all the top financial investment experts and the gold and silver experts and also a couple thousand episodes of David Morgan's Silver Guru podcast and all kinds of things and all kinds of books on gold and silver from G. Edward Griffin to others.
And my interviews with Ron Paul and many other people.
So if you ask that engine financial questions, especially about how to reduce risk or what's the best strategy for a certain scenario, you're going to find that it gives very useful information that you can use for further research.
Again, just be sure to confirm everything and don't make financial decisions based solely on what that engine tells you to do because it can make mistakes being that it's AI.
And the second tool is our book engine now, where we have over 150 books available, free to download.
Many of them are books about finance.
And that's at books.brightlearn.ai or you can just go to brightlearn.ai and click on the books link.
And now we have categories up there.
So you can click on, there it is, finance.
And in the finance category, we've got books like The Silent Fleece, How Governments Harvest Your Wealth.
Let's see, The Great Monetary Chains.
Let's see, Thrive on Less, The Ultimate Guide to Outsmarting Inflation.
The Sovereign Survival Guide, How to Escape Banking Surveillance, Defeat CBDCs, etc.
The Phantom Ledger, A Sovereign's Blueprint to Financial Invisibility.
Exit Shield Thrive, the uncensored playbook for selling your business, outsmarting taxes and dominating Europe's volatile economy.
Okay, those are just some of the books that are available there and more coming.
Then that's just in the finance category.
So you are free to download all those books completely free of charge.
You can read them online or you can download them.
And we've just introduced audio summaries for some books, especially the popular books.
You can click on the homepage of books.brightlearn.ai.
You can click on audio available and it will show you the books that have audio files where it's about a 15-minute audio conversation that talks about the highlights of the book.
So that's kind of cool.
We've got that available for four books at the moment with many more coming.
So all good.
So the best thing I can tell you here is to use our tools, use our books if you need assistance.
Some of you are super experts already in these topics.
But if you need help or you want to run your ideas past our AI engine, go ahead and use those.
They're all free to use.
And make sure you make good choices about what's going on.
Obviously, for me personally, I'm trying to minimize my exposure to dollar currency because the dollar is going to continue to plummet in purchasing power.
That is clear.
You know, the dollar is going to collapse and it's probably just going to be a steady, slow rolling erosion, which is what we're witnessing right now, but it's going to be an accelerating erosion, you know, of the dollar.
So the best way to defend against that, in my view, is, you know, gold and silver or other hard assets.
So anyway, make good decisions on this.
We are entering some very risky times.
Counterparty risk remains extremely high.
There will be bank failures.
Some people will lose all their money in the banks.
FDIC insurance is going to bail out some people some of the time, but not all the time and not all the accounts.
So Yeah, they're going to be bail-ins.
They're going to be currency failures.
Like I said at the beginning, where this is headed is beyond the horizon of anything we've ever lived through.
But it's going to take a couple of years to fully crumble, really.
So we're just beginning to see the initial fracturing of the dam that's holding back the water of debt, the wave of debt that can't be held back forever.
It's coming.
So be fully prepared.
Thank you for listening.
You can check out all my other podcasts at brighteon.com or you can follow my articles at naturalnews.com.
And you can also now read the books that I've generated at brightlearn.ai.
And if you click on the most popular button, you're going to see some of my books there because they are currently the most popular books, although they may not stay that way.
But you can read my books, Cancer Collapse, Toxic Pantry, your digital doctor, these kinds of books.
Feel free to enjoy, read and download and share all those books completely free of charge.
So thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right, welcome to this special update about brightlearn.ai.
I'm Mike Adams, and I've got some big announcements to share with you here about our book creation engine site that everybody's loving and it creates books that you can download for free, read for free.
And now we've just added audio, an audio summary, which is a conversational audio podcast between two people talking about the book.
It's about 15 minutes in duration.
So you can effectively listen to a highlighted version of the book with that audio podcast.
Now, that's not available for every book.
It's cost prohibitive right now to generate audio for every single book, but we are generating it manually.
Well, I should say I'm clicking to generate it for the top, the most popular books.
So as books become more popular with more downloads and more reads, I will click generate on those to generate the audio podcast.
We'll do it manually right now.
And then later on, we'll automate it as audio generation costs continue to fall.
But this is a great format.
What you can do is you can go to books.brightlearn.ai and there you will see.
Now we have categories that you can click on, from spirituality science technology health medicine, etc.
You know finance survival, liberty and you can also click on audio available as a button and that would show you just the books that have audio available and then you'll be able to click, play or download if you want to play or download the audio.
So it's really great and right now I've got audio available for let's see three books.
They are Toxic Pantry that's how big food and corrupt agencies are making you sick.
I've also got audio for the book The Self-sufficient Flock, which is about raising happy, healthy chickens, and then, on top of that, i've generated audio for a book called The Forbidden Cure by Dennis Lynn, and this is a book about leotril, or apricot seeds, vitamin b17.
So you'll be able to listen to all of those right now and also note that we have surpassed 10 000 downloads.
We have now 137 books, over 8 000 book reads and over 10 000 downloads, which is really interesting to me, because it means that more people are downloading the books, that are actually reading the books online, which is fine.
You know you download them.
You get the pdfs locally, you can just download them all and in time, we'll have easier downloads where you can download all the books in a specific category, so you'll be able to have one click and just download, for example, everything in the survival category.
You know, once it gets to be a larger number of books.
Now our next goal is to reach a thousand books generated and 50 000 downloads and, of course, all these books are offered through the creative commons attribution license.
And what's great about these books is that these books are created by you.
They're created by you.
I mean, some of them are created by me, but most of them are not.
Most of them are created by you, based on your ideas, your concepts, and that's how we get these amazing books.
Let me just read for you some of the titles that you have created on on the site, um Inventor's roadmap, from that eureka moment to market success uh, gratitude unshaken.
How prayer and thanksgiving rewrite your heart, mind and soul.
Hidden theft.
How property taxes violate liberty and how you can legally opt out.
The ultimate iv drip therapy guide from energy recovery and wellness.
From first timers to pro-athletes yeah, cool.
Uh, thrive beyond your genes.
The uplifting, science-backed guide to mastering Mthfr for longevity, vitality and radiant health.
I mean, there's so many books, the frequency of healing, unlocking emotional roots of disease, the hidden cost of the cure, how modern medicine depletes your body and how to reclaim your health.
I mean, there are books on so many things here that you might not have even imagined.
There's one called the Hidden Epidemic, how your teeth are secretly sabotaging your health and how to fix it.
And then here's a book that i'm loving, and this was created by Kerry Muma, the Electric Temple.
It's rewiring your body, reclaiming your health, God's blueprint for healing in a toxic world.
In fact, I think i'm going to generate audio on that book because, because it's such a great book.
And again, all these you can download for free.
Now, if you purchase from our store over our Black Friday sale, HealthRangerStore.com, you have received emails probably by now with tokens.
Those tokens allow you to generate books if you go to brightlearn.ai.
And over the weekend, many, many people were generating books using those tokens.
As you can see, we have 137 books.
Generated now, but there are thousands of tokens that we emailed out.
So if you check your email, you know if you're a customer you would have received tokens.
Check your email, find those tokens.
They're just nine characters each, just nine letters, all caps, and then each one of those allows you to generate one book at brightlearn.ai.
So again, go ahead and check your email if you, if you have those tokens, check your email and have fun with it.
And also, i've posted a video with a guide about how to use brightlearn.ai and the short version of that is, you really want a detailed prompt?
You can create a very detailed prompt, paste it into the prompt window on the the home page there at brightlearn.ai and if you need help creating the prompt, you can use our Ai engine at brightu.ai in order to generate, you know, the prompt, and the more detailed that prompt, the better the book you're going to get.
So in that prompt you want to put in maybe your suggested book name, chapter names, chapter topics, highlights of things you want to be sure that the book covers.
You could put in a whole table of contents there, but you don't have to.
You can actually create a whole book just based on one sentence you can say, you know, I want a book about building chicken coops, which I think that's the way I, that's the prompt I use for that chicken book, because I was just testing actually, and sure enough it worked and it it built a full table of contents and it built the full book.
It's amazing.
But if you want a book that covers the things that you care about, then you know, put in a very, very detailed prompt and it will work with that prompt.
And your prompt could be, I think, up to 70 000 characters, which is a lot.
I mean, it's it's almost like an entire book that you could put in the book prompt.
Just make sure that you're not putting in some, you know, copyrighted material or something there.
Make it your material and then, once you generate the book, which typically only takes a few minutes, then you can download the book as a pdf.
You can share it with others.
You know you can even create books for people as christmas gifts.
You could create books for them, just like have a book that's about a specific subject that somebody would love, or maybe somebody's struggling with something you know finances, or mental health, or depression, or relationships or whatever, or moving or whatever, and you can create a book and give it to them as a gift.
And you can even put your name as the book author if you want, or you could use a pen name.
It's up to you.
I'll advise you, by the way, to use the same name for all your books because we have author pages that exist.
And then if you use the same name, then your author page will show all the books that you have created.
And then when somebody goes to read one of your books, on the side of the page, it will recommend your other books, other books from you, not from other authors, just from you.
So use the same author name if you want that kind of benefit.
Okay, now the other thing I want you to know is that also over the weekend, I added over 200,000 additional sources for the indexing of the research citations for these books.
So when I say 200,000 sources, what does that mean?
Well, we got in all the articles from GreenMedInfo.
We got in thousands of articles from Mercola.com.
We got in the entire data set from the truth about cancer.
And let's see what else we can do.
A bunch of stuff.
So we have additional spoken word content, article content.
And I am currently finalizing a big batch of books for citations indexing.
I don't know what it's going to be, maybe 3,000 additional books, something like that, that's going to go in probably in the next week.
And that will be added to the 10,000 books that we already have there, the 10,000 reference books, I should say.
And what we do with that is, so we have the full text of 10,000 books, soon to be 13,000.
And when our engine is creating the book chapters for you, it's referencing, it's doing research through all those 10,000 plus books to find sentences or paragraphs from those books that are related to the chapter of your book that our engine is creating at that moment.
And so then, this is just like the way humans do research, right?
It's like, oh, I'm going to write a chapter about, you know, gold or whatever.
So I need to go find a bunch of books about gold and I need to cite them all and put them in the references section, right?
So that's what our engine is doing.
It's just doing it in, you know, milliseconds instead of taking weeks.
So it does all that for you.
And that's how our books have almost completely eliminated hallucinations.
So you'll notice that when you read our books, unlike typical AI models that just make things up, you know, our books, I can't say never do that, but almost never do that because it's referencing real pages of actual books.
And it's also referencing hundreds of thousands of, or I'm sorry, hundreds of millions of other documents as well in this entire process.
All kinds of documents.
So this is a massive effort.
I know it looks simple right now.
When you use the engine, it looks really easy.
Like, oh, it's just writing a book.
And you might think, well, I could just go to ChatGPT and tell it to write a book.
Sure, you could.
And it would suck.
It would be nothing like the books that our engine creates because, number one, ChatGPT is going to promote vaccines and climate change, BS, and all kinds of globalist nonsense.
And then secondly, it's not going to reference hundreds of millions of pages of content and tens, 10,000 plus books that have been specifically curated and chosen for this purpose.
So this isn't just like random slop being generated.
These are researched books suitable for mainstream publication.
Okay.
Like you could generate a book with this engine at brightlearn.ai.
You could take that book and go to a publisher and you could get this book published.
Now, they might want it reformatted or whatever, but all the research is done, all the writing is done.
It's done.
I mean, the cover art is even already done for you.
I mean, literally, you could take these books to publishers and have them published.
And you might want to take these books and publish them on Amazon.com.
And did you know that you can do that?
You can do that because under the Creative Commons license that we have, you can take these books and you can repurpose them for commercial use.
And the only requirement is that you credit BrightLearn.ai.
So yes, you can generate books completely free with our engine and you can sell them on Amazon.
Yes.
I should add that to the frequently asked questions, actually, because I think a lot of people might have that question.
So think about this.
Some of you have been wondering, how are you going to earn money as AI sort of takes over?
There are so many ways to do that.
But one of those ways is to use our engine to create a book and then sell it on Amazon or create 10 books and sell a 10-book set.
And you might think, well, but can't people just get those books free of charge from your site?
Well, yeah, if they ever heard of us, but most people, I mean, what percentage of the world have heard of Amazon.com versus what percentage have heard of Brightlearn.ai, right?
It's not even close.
Like, everybody knows about Amazon.
Almost nobody has yet heard about BrightLearn.ai.
So people don't know that these books are free.
And by packaging these books and listing them on Amazon and by, frankly, by prompting the books and creating them, you are adding value to this process.
So you have every right to charge for those books on Amazon or wherever else.
You know, it's not like you're forcing anybody to pay for the books, right?
They're purchasing them because they want to exchange their dollars for the value that your book set promises them.
And so you benefit and they benefit.
And then indirectly, we benefit by more people learning about our platform, which is our goal.
But see, I've always believed, if you know anything about my philosophy, you know that I've always believed that we live in a universe of great abundance.
And I advocate for win-win-win relationships, not win-lose relationships.
I don't believe that it's moral to get wealthy by extracting wealth from others or taking from others so that they lose and you win.
That's immoral.
I believe that you can be wealthy and someone else can also benefit from your transaction and I can benefit or my organization can benefit from your transaction as well, even in a non-monetary kind of way.
So we all win in one way or another.
And can this be like a side hustle for you potentially?
Can you earn money doing this?
You bet you can.
Why not?
Why not?
There's a window of opportunity to do this.
You can generate books and you can sell them.
And hey, maybe somebody's doing this right now already and I don't even know about it.
And that's totally fine.
That's completely okay.
The rule is you can't generate books that already exist.
The engine won't do that.
It can't reproduce a book.
And the other thing, did you know that you can't copyright book titles?
I don't know if you knew that, but generally speaking, unless it's a very specific trademarked brand, like, I think, what is it?
Like the dummy's guide to whatever, or the complete idiot's guide to whatever, or chicken soup for the soul.
I think those are trademarked terms because they've been really heavily, heavily branded.
But overall, generally speaking, you can't copyright the title of a book.
You can copyright the book.
But you can't copyright the title of a book.
Now, for our books, because of our Creative Commons attribution licensing, we require that if you sell the book or give the book away, that you also grant that person the same Creative Commons license so that they could then alter the book, augment it, make a derivative work off that book, and then they could sell it again if they want, or they could give it away as long as they credit you.
You see?
So this is the gift that keeps on giving.
But you are required to grant a license under Creative Commons that is inherited because that's the license that we grant you when you use the book.
But understand that that license gives you permission to use it commercially.
So yes, you can create an entire business of generating and selling books on Amazon.
And you might wonder, well, why aren't we selling the books on Amazon?
Well, number one, I'm just busy.
I mean, I don't have time to sell books on Amazon.
I'm building the engine that lets you create books.
You know, what am I going to do?
Spend my day listing on, you know, no, I don't.
I'm focused on creating the tools that empower you.
And then you can use those tools to do whatever you want.
And there are probably all kinds of tools out there that can automate Amazon listings.
In fact, I'm sure those tools exist.
I don't know what they are, but I'm certain they exist.
So you could use AI tools to automate this entire thing.
You know, I mean, it's talk about a new era of abundance.
Here we are.
So the bottom line here is that these are incredibly powerful tools for you for your personal learning, for possibly using commercially, using as bonus items and whatever you do.
I know that many of you listening, you might have your own courses or your own seminars or you have a clinic and maybe you've wanted to teach your customers something in your clinic.
Maybe you have a chiropractic clinic or a Chinese medicine clinic.
Well, you know, you could just generate your perfect book with all your ideas and then you can either just tell all your customers the URL where they can read it or listen to it or download it or you could just give them a PDF file.
Okay, so finally, I want to remind you that all of our AI tools are free to use and the hub where you can find them all is at brightion.ai.
Our core AI engine is at brightu.ai.
Our AI-powered news analysis engine is at censored.news and it's had a little bit of stability trouble lately.
I'm trying to troubleshoot that, but overall it's working great.
Every once in a while, hey, creators going to sort that out.
And then, of course, the book engine is at brightlearn.ai.
And for right now, it's open to token holders.
And then coming soon, within the next few days, maybe, well, I'm guessing by the end of this week, it will be opened up to, well, there's going to be a free tier available to non-token holders.
But there are advantages to token holders because you get better cover art.
You get moved to the front of the queue for production.
You get longer chapters and more text, et cetera.
So there are advantages to having tokens, but there is going to be a free tier that is opened up pretty soon.
All right.

I'm quite worried about AI.
I think it's going to bring about changes far faster than we as humans have ever had a chance to adapt to technological change.
So I think Elon is quite correct to be worried about that.
I agree.
You don't want to be second though.
So we have to invest in it.
We have to do it with it.
Isn't that true?
What we know we can't have is the Bolsheviks running things as this new dawn breaks because we now know their business model is to set up authoritarian power structures and starve off or get rid of 95% of us as useless eaters.
Working with essentially the FBI at the time to set up Hillary Clinton to be bribed.
And the question I didn't ask you then, but it's been on my mind is why did you say yes?
Well, this is where it gets really crazy.
So first of all, I said yes because I'm a patriotic American.
And when Uncle Sam asked me to do things to help him, I almost always have tried to oblige him.
Never again.
Never.
We have too much history between us.
But there's eight plot twists in the book.
And one of them is unbeknownst to them, I had been sent to investigate them.
So if I had literally been sent to investigate the deep state.
And so if you're sent to investigate a mafia, you have to kind of do some unsavory things.
And eventually you're getting asked to do unsavory things that you're going along with and doing to because your job is to be inside the mafia.
And if you read the book, you'll discover who was it.
And the only reason I'm not prosecuted today or haven't been prosecuted since I came out with everything is I had actually been sent and been given immunity to penetrate the deep state and do whatever I, the language in the document is I get extraordinary latitude under the laws of the United States.
Extraordinary latitude, right?
And did the U.S. Senate had to approve that?
Was that?
Senate Judiciary.
And they showed you the letter, but you weren't allowed to have a copy.
Correct.
They showed me the letter.
I've seen it.
They've confirmed to other people that there's, they call such a letter an extraordinary latitude letter.
It's normally written, if somebody comes from the Department of Agriculture to the Senate Judiciary, who really are the ultimate thing on corruption in America, if they come and they say, I'm a Department of Agriculture employer and there's something fishy going on, they get given a letter, an extraordinary latitude letter that says, so really it's so they can go into their office at the Department of Agriculture and steal a bunch of government documents and take it over to the Senate Judiciary.
And they're not committing a felony because they've been, I was given this letter that or shown this letter that I was told had not been done since World War II, and that it was to a civilian, not the federal employee.
And it was a lifelong thing.
I was commissioned by these senators who are still alive that now they're with, it's kind of funny.
They wrote, I wish they had included in the letter in the movie the letter that they wrote back.
They wrote back a letter saying the senators will neither confirm nor deny that there was such a meeting.
And if there was a meeting, they will not confirm it or deny if they were there.
And if there was a meeting and they were there, they will neither confirm nor deny if they gave a letter.
It's the craziest letter.
Okay, but so you saw this letter, but surely you must have realized at the time that they could disown you and claim they never wrote a letter.
And there's no way you could prove that too many people know about it, too many staffers.
There's staffers who've confirmed the existence of this letter to reporters and such.
I see.
So I don't worry about that.
And that would be a take back.
As I told them, I asked them one question, and it's in the movie when they asked me to do this.
They said, and they let me read this extraordinary letter.
They said, you're never going to see a letter like this again in all your life, Patrick.
I read this letter and I said, no take backs.
And they said, no take back.
So I would consider it a take back.
No takebacks.
That's all I had to.
And then when they said no takebacks, I said, I thought for a few seconds, I said, gentlemen, I won't let you down.
You're a high IQ individual pioneering in many areas of technology, including crypto with your former company, innovated a lot of things in that space.
What do you make of the rollout of AI tech right now, which is machine cognition that's becoming increasingly capable and very low cost?
The trend for cost reduction is remarkable, like 40x per year reduction in cognitive costs.
What do you think this is going to do to our civilization?
I think it's at risk of being extraordinarily dangerous.
We certainly, the changes it's going to bring about are going to are happening so quickly.
It's far beyond the ability of our normal political processes to engage with it and shape it and us to discuss what.
So, you know, for example, I don't think jobs as we know them are going to exist over the next 10 years.
I feel so bad for youngsters I see getting out of college.
I remember, and I'm sure it was the same for you.
Senior year in college, you go over to the student hall and there's all these companies lining up for interviews.
You sign up for four or five, you get four or five job offers.
Everybody, it was the simplest thing in the world.
Now kids get out of college or high school and they work for years for no money praying for it.
It's so tough.
And so many jobs are going to be eliminated that I think people should be thinking, rethinking their life plans around that fact.
People get out with a graphic arts degree.
I kind of wish I was still running Overstock because you could AI 95% of the jobs and do better.
That's true.
Yeah.
We've incorporated AI augmentation in all our jobs.
We haven't fired any people, but we've trained them all on AI.
So almost all the research for our articles is, of course, AI conducted.
AI does all the editing.
AI does the citations, everything.
We've been able to increase productivity by 10X.
But my question for you about the economy, though, see, during the Trump administration here, and he's got three years or more, you know, more than three years remaining, right?
So one hopes.
This ramp up of AI is going to hit right smack during his administration with pretty extraordinary economic consequences in terms of job replacements.
We've already seen announcements from Amazon, some letters leaked that said they're going to replace ultimately 600,000 jobs with automation.
That's robots, not just the agents on the software side.
But we've also seen massive layoffs in companies like UPS, 48,000 this year, et cetera.
And most of these companies are saying we're replacing people with AI because the investors like to hear that also.
And then the stock goes up because they're like, oh, they're more efficient now, right?
But what do you think this means for Trump in terms of the loss of human jobs?
And GDP will fall because of the increased efficiency of machine cognition, producing more output for less pay, so to speak.
I'm not sure GDP falls.
Well, I don't mean in the aggregate, but.
Okay, but maybe it's going to be.
Well, I think it's going to create a headwind for him that makes it harder for standard economic reporting to look good.
As more and more jobs get wiped out.
There's a solution, and Milton Friedman laid it out in 1965, and it seems especially apt today.
The solution to everything is you do two things together, and one of them is anathema to the right, and one of them is anathema to the left.
But you do the two of them together, and something magic happens.
You do a flat tax coupled to a UBI, and our current financial system is going to Chernobyl.
Our current dollar, everything's going to Chernobyl.
What they should be doing is designing this for the new world, a flat tax with a UBI.
And the magic of that is you can reduce 68,000 pages of tax code and this huge Labyrinthian social safety net to you can largely reduce it to two numbers.
Everyone gets $20,000 of UBI, and we're going to tax you at 20%.
Capital gains, income, corporate income, or whatever.
Two very simple numbers let you together dial in any degree of progressivity you want and you can reduce, you know, we lose 2% of GDP just preparing our taxes.
It's a $400 billion industry.
So you can actually free up.
But anyway, and then that's the right thing to have done anyway.
And we ought to get that in place and introduce a second currency.
So we run like Europe did when there was the EU and the French franc, for example, and everything was priced for a year or two in both currencies if you were in France.
Something like that will come.
And the new currency is designed on a sustainable platform, which is that your social safety net and your income taxes are a flat tax with a UBI.
And you actually, you have to do, there was all this argument for it earlier.
Now you have to do it because the benefits that are going to be brought about by AI and automation are so enormous for the labor market.
There's no possible way we can contain with normal new rules.
You have to share the benefits.
And the only way to do that is to have an UBI.
You don't want the current social safety net where you have government bureaucrats trying to fine-tune favored groups to get what they want.
You want a nice flat UBI and a nice flat tax.
The rise of AI threatens to destroy the middle class and to increase the chasm between the wealthy and the poor to concentrate all financial resources in the hands of very few individuals.
Flat tax, I think, would be welcome.
But why do I would even argue, why do we need any federal income tax at the personal level?
Because they're going to print money anyway, right?
Yeah, well, if they believe in this modern monetary theory.
That's my answer when I talk to the lefty believers of MMT.
If you believe this stuff, why do we have any tax?
Exactly.
But at the same time, then, if you're going to offer a UBI that's meaningful, and I've also heard it described as a universal high income, where you give people enough that they never have to work.
They can pay rent, buy food, et cetera.
And I've also heard some maximalists from the AI space argue that robots and AI agents will produce so much abundance that the government will be able to give everybody a universal high income.
But then my question is: why does the government need anybody around at all if you're just costing the government revenue and you're not paying taxes effectively because you're not working and contributing to GDP?
Well, I think you've put your finger on the mystery at the heart of what we've just experienced in this world for the last five years.
There is now a business model that has emerged where basically 5% of humanity can escape with all the learnings and benefits of 3,000 years of civilization.
They can escape with that and they don't need the other 95%.
And I don't think GDP even has to go down.
But it takes AI and robotics.
But to make that happen, they realize somewhere along the way, you have to shift to an authoritarian world before then, because as you starve off those 95% of useless eaters, as Yuval Harari calls them, we've heard that, yes.
Yeah, that they can't do anything about it.
So you have to get to an authoritarian system so then you can then hunger games and them and starve them off.
And then 5% of the world inherits a great place with so that's that's a real viable business model.
In fact, I think that's what we just lived through.
I think that's what 2020, 2020, the WF, that's what it's all about.
By 2030, they want 95% of us gone, or they were going to get rid of 95% of us.
And they know the whole world between AI and robotics can go on without us.
So the trick is going to be have a political system that does not get captured by elites who are, of course, going to favor that outcome.
And instead says, let's take these technological advances and construct things so that the people, that everybody gets a good uplift from it.
I think you're spot on with that analysis, by the way.
And I've spent a lot of time pondering this issue.
But the assumption that everybody makes, or most people make, is that government wants people to be around and to stay alive.
And I'd like your reaction to this argument.
I've argued that government never valued humanity for humanity's sake, but rather valued the product of humans, which is the cognitive output and the labor output.
And that was it.
That's the only reason they ever valued human beings.
And if both of those two outputs can be replaced by machines, then the value of humans goes to zero in the minds of the government, which is pretty much what you just said.
Yes.
Well, I'd say it really comes down to the most fundamental philosophical question at the core of the American experiment.
The thing that is so unique that Frederick Douglass, I always like to quote how he pointed to certain phrases.
And the big revolutionary thought in our founding is until now, until then, governments are rulers or the principles, and humans are the agents.
In other words, even when Machiavelli talks about a free state or a free city, he doesn't mean that the people are free.
He means that the ruler does not report to someone else.
It's just taken for granted that the ruler of any city-state, his ends are what matters.
And the people, their existence is just as means for him to use as means to his end.
The U.S. Constitution says we're going to have a system where we, the people, are the principles.
Like when you sell your house, you're the principal.
The guy you hire is the agent, the real estate agent.
The principal is like the boss.
So we're the principles, and we formed this government to just do some things we can't do ourselves.
And there's a nice list of them in Article 1, Section 8, that we can't do as individuals or as states.
And it's a real inversion for that corporation that we form to ever put itself in the position that it's thinking, well, what do I need you folks for?
It's just like a plumber.
That's why Milton Friedman critiqued that inauguration speech of John F. Kennedy, where he quoted the line about ask not what you can do, what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.
He says that would be rejected in any society, which understood what freedom is about.
Imagine you hired a plumber who came over and did shoddy work and asked for a lot of money for it, and you complained, and your plumber said, Hey, don't ask what I can do for you, ask what you can do for me.
You'd say that plumber has got everything inverted in his mind.
If the U.S. government is not inverted and our Constitution holds, the analysis you just described, where the government says, well, what do I need these citizens for can never occur because we're always the principles and we're making the decisions about the agent.
However, that means we have to be very muscular on these philosophical concepts.
And all that happened under Biden, I mean, it's been happening for decades under the assault from the left, but they've been chipping away at these very fundamental philosophical concepts.
Look at, and you know, right down to look at how Joe Biden was just dying to sign U.S. sovereignty over to the WHO.
He was trying to find some way to sign this over.
Really, we have never had an opportunity like this.
The Secretary of HHS really has been a revolving door between government positions and big pharmaceutical industry.
You know, he's been fighting this battle for such a long time.
I can guarantee you he's working absolutely as hard as fast as he possibly can to deep state people still within the ranks of the HHS that are dragging their heels.
At the end of the day, Secretary Kennedy can put his pillow or his head on the pillow and know that he's done his absolute best.
But I also know that it's a very, very frustrating time for him because there is so much to be done.
And because of you and your research and CHD and a large group of other people, we know the pathway to get there.
Exactly.
We know it.
And yet there's so much resistance against it.
And it's hard to not reach the conclusion that there is real evil in this world that is running some of these corporations and some, especially former government agencies.
It's hard to not arrive at that.
I mean, how do you explain this reality?
Evil is in the world.
It has been in the world since the very beginning.
Okay.
I mean, you know, you have to look at post-Garden of Eden really to trace back to the origins of evil.
I'm a Christian.
I pull no punches about that.
And I believe that evil will always, oh, this side of glory, evil will always be with us.
And there are people that, you know, really could give a rip whether you're dead or alive.
And, you know, you look at the agendas and you look at just sort of this worldwide industrial cabal that tried to take over during COVID-19.
And you had, you know, these quote-unquote heroes and luminaries like Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins who were in the forefront that were looking at people like Donald Trump and saying, you know what, President Trump?
People just die.
No, actually, you poison them and you kill them.
And it's about a population control agenda that goes beyond facile dollars and facile politics.
That, you know what, the powers that be really don't want you to be here.
You just nailed it.
They literally flat out could give a rip.
You know, what?
And in order to get to the magic number of 900 million people put out by the luminaries that are behind things like the World Economic Forum, they, I mean, you know, you just have to look at their literature.
It's no big secret.
But these people flat out do not care about children, do not care about suffering.
You know, they're looking at their own utopian society that they think that they can make, you know, these bullcrap commercials that look at us and tell us by the year 2030, you will own nothing and you will love it.
Like sometimes we're in this Star Trek next generation head trip.
It is absolutely insane.
You know, evil abounds in the world and the light shines, the darkness is cast out by the light.
But you have to admit that the darkness was there as well.
True, true.
And it's just been commercialized through the vaccine industry.
And then it has been codified through regulatory corruption and capture.
And that is what brought us to this point.
And that's why you and I both desperately want RFK Jr. to succeed.
But let me ask you a sensitive question about Trump.
Yeah.
Trump's, you know, he's routinely, he's doing deals with big pharma.
He just launched Trump RX.
It's like, okay, Trump's going to be in the prescription drug business.
That's not what I wanted to see.
And I think most of our audience understands that at least we believe that many of these companies like Pfizer need to be investigated for possible criminal prosecution.
That's what I believe.
That's what our audience believes.
How do we square the circle on this where, you know, here's Trump who loves Pfizer, loves Eli Lilly, loves Novo Nordisk.
You know, he's just announced discounts on the GLP1 through his Trump RX program.
And standing next to him is RFK Jr., who must be, in his mind, he must be going, oh my God, how long can I stand this?
At least I'm imagining that.
I don't know how he does it, honestly.
I could not stay silent, but that's why they don't invite me to the Oval Office.
You know, it's it there have been so many, I'm sure, cringeworthy moments.
I mean, basically, standing in the Oval Office with Albert Borla right there, I mean, like two paces away from him, you know, there's a reason why they wouldn't have let me in the Oval Office at that particular moment.
And, you know, all of these vaccine manufacturers are basically serial felons anyway.
I mean, they've committed crimes against humanity.
You look at Merck, you look at Pfizer, you look at Glazo SmithKline.
You know, you ask a mainstream AI program how many billions of dollars these companies have paid out because they flat out lied.
They absolutely flat out lied because they care more about the shareholder and the bottom line and lining their own pockets.
So, you know, rest assured, RFK Jr. is doing everything that he can do, but he also counts on us of being the person, the people on the outside that are storming the Bastille, that are the ones that are continuing to put up the pressure, continuing to, you know, basically say, no, that's absolutely wrong.
You know, I'm not a fan of big pharma.
You know, I don't think that you can be selective and say, oh, well, maybe they lied about Viox, but I'm sure that the MMR is fine.
You know, you cannot do that.
You cannot do that in the same breath.
We put out our AI engine to help people be able to have stronger advocacy on these issues.
So if you're talking to a family member and they say, well, what are your sources?
Why do you say it's dangerous?
They need to go to our AI engine.
And our main engine, by the way, is at brightu.ai.
I'll have our editor put it on the screen.
And it's also free.
It's also non-commercial.
But Brian, the thing that we found in building this AI engine is that the most difficult thing to overcome in the base models was the pro-pharma bias.
It took us two years to figure out a way to do that.
And we failed about 50 times.
Because every time we would train a model using standard training techniques, and then you would ask it about vaccines, it would say, well, vaccines have saved millions of lives and they're tested and they're certified.
All this garbage would come out.
Took us two years to figure out how to get the bias out of the models.
And I believe we're the only model that has that bias out of it.
And again, some of it's due to you and CHD and your work that we heavily, heavily trained on, plus Alliance for Natural Health USA, Sayer G's website, Dr. Mercola's website, our website, millions and millions and millions of pages that we ultimately use to be able to overcome it.
But just like CHD is never going to be invited to write a column for the New York Times, we're never going to be invited to go to a tech conference held by big tech.
They don't want the world to know that we exist.
Absolutely.
We create these infrastructures on our own so we can absolutely get the word out.
We're creating alternative structures because it really, you know, you can't use a standard AI framework in order to get the truth about vaccines.
They will quote a AstroTurf CDC publication that talks about how in the 20th century, vaccines saved over a million lives.
And when you pull that back, you look at diseases that have basically been on decline since the early 19th century, like diphtheria.
I mean, they quote a million lives saved by vaccines.
Out of that million, over 700,000 are for diphtheria alone, a disease that basically can be treated by standard antibiotics.
I don't want to go down the antibiotic trail, but it's treated by standard antibiotics and natural remedies.
Yeah, nutrition.
And that hasn't really been around since we were all daily exposed to horse manure.
I live in a small town.
I'm still not exposed to horse manure every day.
Well, you're in Texas.
We could remedy that.
I agree.
You know, it's not the smell that I mind.
It's just, you know, whatever.
It just happened to have my vehicle and drive seven minutes away down to my office and it's all good.
Well, you spoke about the depopulation agenda.
And it's very clear that as vaccines are engineered today, they achieve that through multiple vectors, infertility, spontaneous abortions, and then, of course, well, early death.
Now, I encountered a U.S. Treasury document that talked about the financial benefits of accelerated deaths of the American people.
And they were touting $11 trillion in long-term savings by moving up the early deaths to be even earlier.
How much are you aware of this idea that a lot of Western governments that are on the verge of financial insolvency, they equate early deaths with shoring up their books, so to speak?
We are in a massive campaign to depopulate these countries, depopulate the earth.
I mean, when you look at all of the different things afoot, you know, assisted suicide on a whim, the whole let's mutilate your child's body so they can never reproduce.
I mean, if you don't, if you think there's not an anti-reproductive agenda behind that, think again.
I mean, let's just do basic biology on the human body and see what it takes in order to trans a kid.
You know, and then you look at the vaccine market getting younger and younger.
And, you know, it used to be that pregnancy was sacred, but now pregnant women are pincushions.
You know, they can get upwards to eight needle sticks during the term of the pregnancy, you know, and generally, except for the RSV, at any trimester of pregnancy.
And we know that leads to developmental delays and disabilities.
Those children generally do not reproduce.
It leads to early death.
Those, you know, obviously lack of reproductive capability.
And it leads to stillbirth and spontaneous abortion.
So yeah, there is everything that we see as these miracle interventions of modern medicine are really rewound the other way.
You know, we, you know, you peel back the veneer and they're looking at decreasing long-term survival and decreasing fertility.
And in the aftermath of the COVID years, a lot more research has come out that appears to be conclusive to any reasonable person that the COVID jabs caused a lot of early deaths and a lot of disabilities, millions of people disabled, according to researchers like Ed Dowd and so on.
In your view, what is the best evidence that exists today or the best studies that point to the human cost of either deaths or disabilities or injuries following the COVID jabs?
There is a sort of a worldwide study, and this was unfortunately only from countries that participated, that you were able to get this data.
But a study done by Denise Rancourt that looked at the population-wide mortality due to the COVID shot.
And this is not a worldwide snapshot.
I think it's much, much larger than this.
But just in the countries that participated, a handful of countries that participated, their estimate of the mortality due to the COVID shot was 17 million individuals, with over, you know.
All of that would be projected to the world population.
You're easily talking about over 100 million individuals that were terminated due to the COVID jab.
And, you know, nobody takes a pass on these.
Nobody takes a pass on these.
I'm even looking at family members who were deceived and got the COVID jab and looking at primarily, you know, in my lineage, the disease is uris cardiac.
Easily, you know, my family members don't get cancer, but we, you know, we have the quintessential cardiac genes.
And to see individuals that are so young, even in my own family, having cardiac problems, having myocarditis, pericarditis, both together, and then looking at their long-term survivability, getting less and less and less.
The long story short is that Christianity became a religion about confessing and believing rather than following and obeying the commandments of Jesus.
And so we think a true Christian religion should be predicated solely and singularly on the teachings of the master.
The purpose of life is to develop our characters and to live more like Jesus.
And that is what Jesus taught us.
Judge and you will be judged.
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Repent and God forgives you.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Love God with all your heart.
And this fulfills the entire law.
And to carry that out through your actions, not just your words.
The Nazarenes did not teach animal sacrifice.
They believed in baptism, but not killing animals as an appeasement to God.
Can you please explain, because you have said this so eloquently in your podcast, the Jesus Way, can you explain why animal sacrifice is a violation of the core teachings of God and Christ?
Yeah, in every conceivable way it is.
And we had a podcast guest the other day talking about this, how blood sacrifice, animal sacrifice, is practiced in every single form of Satanism or occultism on earth.
In history, it is one of the primary ways to increase on the negative polarity is to take away life and use the blood as some kind of ritual to enhance oneself.
And so right away, if we're saying that the supreme, omnibenevolent Lord of the universe needs exactly what Satan needs, I think we're off track a little bit.
Yeah.
But then when you unpack the Hebrew Bible, you get these conflicting narratives.
And really, when you study the history of Judaism, one of the cool topics that you often bump into is this whole idea of the priests versus the prophets, that the Old Testament is really like a Jedi versus Sith story.
And you have to read through the lines because if you're enforcing this framework of the Bible's in Aaron imperfect, it's all written by God, you will absolutely not see it.
But when you're willing to question the narrative and say, wait, are there conflicting, competing narratives here?
And you're like, oh, of course there are.
All through the whole Old Testament, you've got the priestly source texts like Leviticus and so forth, commanding 613 purity laws and tons of animal sacrifice.
And then you have later the prophets just like angrily condemning animal sacrifice.
Even Jeremiah, who's one of the prophets Jesus is compared to by people when he asks, some say you're the prophet Jeremiah reincarnated, right?
Jeremiah was the most anti-sacrifice prophet.
And this kid was like 19, by the way, when he wrote his prophecies and that we have in the book of Jeremiah.
Absolute spiritual badass.
But he said, Jeremiah 7, 21, he's speaking for God.
God says, I did not command you animal sacrifices when I brought you out from Egypt through Moses, but this is what I commanded you.
Obey my word.
Be my people, and I will be your God.
You know, love justice, walk humbly, love mercy.
This is the desire of God.
I desire mercy, not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings, Hosea 6, 6.
And all through the Old Testament, you do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it.
It's like over and over again, you get this unequivocal no to sacrifice, yes to righteousness.
And so, Christ, here's where Christians get hung up, is that they've been given this, they've been sort of given this narrative that they believe that, well, but nobody can be righteous perfectly.
And if you commit one sin, you're worthy of hellfire forever.
And this is kind of the question they beg to hold up their soteriology, right?
That God expects all of us to live perfect human lives without one mistake.
And if we make a mistake, we need a blood sacrifice to forgive us.
There is no such verse or even context of this anywhere in the Old Testament.
There is nowhere that Yahweh or God is quoted as saying you have to live perfectly, blah, blah, blah.
It's always repent and God forgives you.
Repent with a humble heart.
That's what pleases the heart of God.
And God even says in the Old Testament, if you repent to me, I will wipe your sins out as if they never occurred.
I will cast him to the bottom of the ocean floor.
And as far as the east is from the west, so far have you removed our sins from us, Lord, through repentance and forgiveness.
And then this is the message of Jesus in the New Testament.
He shows up on the scene saying, repent and believe the good news, that God is here in our midst.
The kingdom of heaven is within you.
But you have to repent and humble yourself, right?
Turn from your wicked ways.
And so we see Jesus echoing the same message of the prophets in the Old Testament, but it was the priests who were corrupting God's law by introducing this pagan demonic practice of animal sacrifice.
And this is why Jesus gave his life for this cause by going into the temple in all four gospels to cleanse the temple, pronounce condemnation on all of it, release the animals from the cages, kick over the money changers' tables and say, you've turned my father's house into a den of murder, which he's quoting Jeremiah 7, 11 in that verse.
Not many people know this, Mike.
The verse in Jeremiah, you've turned my father's house into a den of thieves is what the Greek says.
But in Hebrew, the Hebrew word is paditz, which means violent ones or murderers.
And so you would only ever speak Hebrew in the temple.
And so Jesus was speaking to Hebrew to fellow Hebrews, and he was quoting Jeremiah 7, 11.
He would have said padits, the actual word there.
You've turned my father's house into a den of murder.
So he's saying, this is not what God wants.
And he knew, I will give my life for this.
If I go into the temple and oppose this temple cult, they will crucify me.
And yet he said, yet I lay down my life freely for this cause.
How would Jesus, if he were living today, how would he look at our economic system today that preys upon the lives and suffering of so many?
Because think about even in the temple, the priests were selling a proxy for salvation through the suffering and destruction of another conscious animal.
I've called that a racket publicly, and some people are unhappy with that word.
Whatever.
It's a racket.
So to say, hey, I'm the priest in the temple.
You've committed horrible sins.
I'm going to have to kill a larger animal to trick God into thinking that you're innocent.
Like, what?
How does one negative offset another negative?
Yeah.
And if God knows everything, he already knows you're not, I mean, you're killing an animal that did not commit the sin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That doesn't never made any sense to me.
Jesus said, you don't overcome evil with evil.
If I murder someone and have to go get my sins forgiven, I can't get my murderous sin forgiven by murdering an animal.
That's right.
You overcome evil with good.
Correct.
Forgiveness, righteousness, mercy.
This is the message of Jesus.
That's what I love about what you teach.
Go ahead.
Go ahead, James.
I was just going to say, you know, the second temple, this was like our friend Cam Waters, the director of Christ Spiracy, calls it the Death Star.
Think of an amalgamation of big pharma, the Vatican, the military-industrial complex, the IRS, everything.
They were in bed with Rome, and they were giving Rome a cut.
So you have the military-industrial complex, the war machine.
You have like the back to money laundering just like today.
Huge, selling salvation, which is like the most immoral thing I've ever heard of.
Which the Catholic Church also did later.
Yeah.
And Yeshua went in there and freed the animals and kicked over the tables of the money changers.
But why the money changers?
What were they exchanging money for?
They were selling the animals for salvation.
And Josephus talks about the scale.
I just want everyone to understand the scale of this death and bloodshed.
And the Talmud also says it was like they are exaggerating, but they said it was millions of animals.
Yeah.
But Josephus said it would be 250,000 animals in a week and that the blood would come up to the priest's shins.
So this is turning the holy temple of God into a salmon.
Rivers of blood and suffering.
What an abomination.
No wonder.
Do you really think Yeshua would be in there?
And oh, you know, it's because they're exchanging money in the temple, or is it because innocent animals are being brutally killed under the context of forgiveness of sins?
It's an abomination.
And Yeshua gave his life opposing the system that has descended now into the controllers of the world.
The people who control Israel, the people who control the United States, the Vatican at the highest levels are the descendants of the people who ran the second temple, the temple cult.
And they're still steeped in a demonic high prophet death cult.
Even worse today, actually.
With the scale, it means there are more people to harm.
Yeah.
And then Jesus said, it is written, my father's house was supposed to be called a house of worship and prayer for all nations.
So he's saying, look, guys, this is the temple of God, and it's supposed to be for the greatest, most positive possible things like prayer and worship.
And look what you've done to it.
You have turned my father's house into a den of murder and violence.
What greater grievance could you do, right?
And this is why the Essene type of Judaism broke off from orthodoxy in the temple cult hundreds of years before Jesus.
And Jesus clearly emerged from this Essene type of Judaism and the whole Jesus movement did, because the Essenes also rejected the temple for all the same reasons and because they believed that the Torah was corrupted by these priests over hundreds of years.
I mean, the book of Leviticus, I don't know if people know this, but the book of Leviticus was written about at least five centuries after Moses, and yet it's purported to be Moses saying all these things.
It's like, this is a lie.
Moses did not say any of this stuff.
This is a Ponzi scheme, a prophet scheme being weaved into the Bible in ancient times.
And because we don't question the human traditions, we say, oh, it's all perfect and it's all God, then we miss these obvious corruptions of what was once a holy book.
And so Moses brought down, as we know, 10 commandments from Mount Sinai, just 10, not 613 on 50 stone tablets, just two tablets with 10 commandments.
There's been some effort.
Yeah, it would have taken a couple Moses' for that.
And so where do we get all these 600 laws from?
And so when Jesus is asked, what must I do, good teacher, to inherit eternal life?
He literally says, keep the commandments.
And he doesn't list off 613.
He lists off actually the five love your neighbor commandments, which is the second half of the 10.
And he says, and chief of all, or what they're all summarized in, is love your neighbor as yourself.
So Jesus clearly believed there was a core of Mosaic law that was original, that was given by God, that is good for humanity.
And he rejected the people who followed the other 600 BS laws that were man-made.
And so it's like we're kind of doing the same thing now, saying, look, there's a core of truth and goodness in this book, in this New Testament, but man has corrupted it and weaponized it for centralizing power, religious power, for the last 2,000 years.
And we've got to start unraveling this behemoth that's been created.
I see in especially conservative politics in America right now, I see a very deliberate push for anti-Islam hatred.
And my red flags go up.
Like, who wants us to hate followers of Islam right now for whatever reason?
Because I don't buy into that at all.
I don't hate Buddhists, Sikhs, atheists.
I don't hate Islam.
I don't hate Christians.
I love all human beings as brothers and sisters.
We are all of God's children.
Amen.
Right.
What is going on with, you know, what forces are behind this that want us to hate people because of their faith?
Because their faith is different from your faith.
That's not a Jesus' way to hate Islam.
Right.
Right?
Yeah, it's very interesting.
It all goes back to divide and conquer, which this tactic is used repeatedly and over and over.
And I mean, the Persian people, for instance, have been so demonized, right, in America.
Yeah.
And from all of my personal experiences and from people I know, they are the most remarkable, kind, beautiful people.
Of course, there's extremists there.
We all understand that.
In every society, there is extremists.
Every society.
But they just want to divide us.
And honestly, Islam has many parallels with the early Christian movements.
If you want to get into some of that.
Yeah.
Well, this is the funny thing, man, is when we started studying early Christianity, we found out about the Nazarene history and we're like, whoa, mind blown, right?
And Jesus came from this sect.
And then the Roman Catholic Church basically borrowed this, you know, Jewish reform movement, which was what the Jesus movement was.
They weren't trying to start a new religion, right?
Jesus was trying to reform his own religion and weave out the corruption in it.
And it got turned through Paul's teachings primarily and the development of Gnosticism and things into this new Greco-Roman kind of mystery religion about confessing and believing and a second coming that's soon to be and all these things.
Jesus didn't teach any of this stuff, right?
He was talking about a right now kingdom of heaven among us and bringing it right now, not waiting someday for it to come from the skies.
And so in studying this, we found a thread that's pretty amazing, which is that Islam, scholars who study this show with pretty convincing evidence that Islam literally is Jewish Christianity just kind of morphed a few centuries later because of the way they were so heavily persecuted by the Roman Catholic Empire and church.
They literally made Nazarene Christianity illegal in Rome in the fourth century under Pope Damasus.
And if you were found with Nazarene texts, they called it Judaizing, right?
You can't Judaize Christianity.
It's like, but it was a Jewish movement from the beginning.
And so Nazarenism was a form of Jewish Christianity.
So you would have all your property seized from you and they would even execute you in some cases, right?
So the Nazarenes had to flee all of the Roman jurisdiction territories and they went into Arabia and Syria and east of the Transjordan.
And centuries and centuries later, a guy named Prophet Muhammad comes along and he was pretty much an Ebionite for all intents of purposes.
Ebionites was one of the Jewish Christian sects that lasted for many centuries.
And he has this revelation and then this new kind of religion forms off of it.
But when you look at the core tenets of Islam, it's like early Jewish Christianity would have looked very similar to what we now know today as Islam.
Truly monotheistic, unlike the Catholic Church with its polytheistic Trinitarian doctrines, right?
No, no, no, there's one God, one being, one nature, and it's all about following God's commandments, living righteously, pleasing God with your life is how you show you have faith in God.
And that's what the Jewish Christians believed.
And so scholars show these links, which are pretty remarkable, that Islam is the result of Catholic persecution against the early Jewish Christians.
We'll be building thousands of books a month.
And ultimately, it'll be a million books that people can download free of charge.
And in 2026, it will generate books in any language.
This is how I hope to reach, ultimately, my goal is to be able to reach a billion people with messages that empower them.
With how to be healthier, how to be more practical, how to decentralize, how to live a better life, a higher quality life that your government never really wants you to live because they only profit from sickness and disease.
So we are the counterculture against the establishment that wants you dead.
We want you to live and prosper.
So it sounds like you are really trying to build this like great library of Alexandria created, curated by AI as a way to bridge this knowledge gap that other people might, you know, critical thinkers of this world might want to access, you know, if they don't know a certain skill, if they don't know something, they just want to learn about something.
But it's all decentralized.
It's free.
I mean, it sounds like this is the architecture to like basically rebuild society if it comes to that.
You got it.
And is that really, is that part of your plan too?
This is almost like an emergency backup in case we lose everything because, you know, I think there's a really big risk of, you know, some kind of grid down cyber attack scenario happening, some kind of solar flare.
We've all seen those headlines and they're all worthy of consideration.
But it sounds like, I mean, I don't know of anybody else who's really trying to do this.
Talk about that.
What utilities would you have for this store of knowledge in a grid down scenario?
What would like the average family use it for?
Just kind of like paint that picture.
Okay.
And that's a great question.
Thank you for asking.
Yeah.
The vulnerability of modern civilization is that most people's knowledge is connected to the cloud.
Right.
When they're using AI, it's through a browser or it's through an app.
When they are querying a search engine, same thing.
When they're reading a book from Amazon, it's on a Kindle device that checks in with the Amazon servers or Audible.
It has to check in with Audible servers, right?
And there are even, you know, John Deere used to have, you would buy a tractor and if you didn't pay your loan, your tractor wouldn't start because it checks in with the John Deere servers, you know, just insane levels of centralization.
So what we set out to do was to first build and release open source an AI engine that you can download and that's done.
We released that months ago that runs locally.
So if everything goes down out there, the whole internet goes down, as long as you have local power, you can boot up your laptop or your desktop.
We even have a company putting it on phones now.
Our model comes pre-installed on the phones from above phone.
And it's local.
It's running locally.
That's kind of slow because it's a 12 billion parameter model, but it works, you know?
And so you can boot up your laptop.
You can ask any questions you want.
We wanted this to be useful for people, especially in developing countries or off-grid people or in the aftermath of some kind of collapse or civil war.
That's why we trained it also on how to assemble and disassemble 3,000 different firearms.
That's all in there.
That's so cool.
So, I mean, for two years, I acquired so much documents and knowledge.
And I would buy like DVDs of open source books and things like that.
I curated the whole data set myself and put all this into the engine.
You'd be astonished how much you can ask it.
I mean, the stuff it knows is like way beyond what anybody typically would imagine.
But it is designed so that you could use this to help jumpstart society in a collapse.
But here's the other thing.
Storage media.
I've done a lot of research on this.
You mentioned EMP or SolarFlare.
That would wipe out most electronics, at least we believe it would.
Well, what's immune to that is optical storage.
Optical storage can have a thousand-year shelf life.
Whereas hard drives, did you know that hard drives lose about 1% of their bits every year just sitting in storage?
Wow.
And the reason that doesn't destroy your files is because they have a parity bit that can rebuild the lost bit.
Okay.
But over time, hard drives stop working.
And it doesn't even take that long.
You know, 10 years, a lot of hard drives just don't function.
Wow.
Yeah.
Because they're magnetic, right?
It's a lot of magnetic interference.
Well, optical media, they last through floods.
They last through EMPs because it's burned into the plastic, the pits.
The ones and zeros are burned into multiple layers of plastic.
My question for you, I guess as we might be approaching the end of this here, what I want to talk about is, and this may be the answer.
You may have already answered this, but you can correct me if I'm wrong.
But the way I see it, these big dogs, the chat GPTs, the Grocs, the Geminis, it seems like the creators and the figureheads, you know, the Sam Altmans, they talk about their tech as if there's like no endgame.
Like they're just going to see their AI creation until it inevitably becomes like the demon hive mind that kills us all.
And they're just like, yeah, we're okay with that.
That's the way they seem to talk about it.
Like there's no end in sight.
So my question for you when it comes to Brighteon AI is, as its creator, do you have like an end point in mind where you're like, we are going to use it for just these use cases?
And though tempting it may be to perhaps even like humanize Brighteon AI a little bit and stuff, we're going to stop here.
And this is like where we're going to just say the buck stops here with it so that it doesn't become something that we had never intended it to become.
Do you have like some kind of like line in the sand like that?
Yeah, yeah.
And we've been very clear about that.
So our AI is not for pursuing relationships, for example.
It's never going to be your AI girlfriend avatar.
It doesn't do that.
You could try, but you're going to be very disappointed because it's going to tell you about how to disassemble firearms.
It's the most boring doubt ever.
Right, right.
But it is designed to help humans live in a decentralized manner and to survive the Skynet apocalypse, which is coming.
So you're exactly right, Rhys, what you just said.
So ChatGPT, Microsoft, Google, in my view, they are all headed toward the goal of destroying, exterminating most of humanity and replacing humans with machines.
Now, I don't put Elon Musk in the same category as that.
Elon is in many ways fighting against that.
I mean, look at his previous involvement in open AI and he doesn't trust Sam Altman.
I don't trust Sam Altman either.
And I obviously don't trust Google at all.
But if there's a surviving human element on this planet, they will have Brighteon AI because that will help them grow their own medicine, make their own herbal extracts.
It will help them grow food.
It will help them.
It even writes code too, by the way.
It's not competitive with Anthropic or something like that, but it writes basic computer code, batch files, Python code, things like that.
But our model is the model that they will use to survive and to live off-grid.
And that's why I'm in a race to build and release the best models that we can.
And right now, not at this location, but at another location, I think I sent you a video of some of our science paper processing.
Yes.
We've got 48 workstations with GPUs that are currently processing the world's knowledge, including every science paper that's ever been published.
And don't ask me how I got that, but it was not easy.
But we are classifying the world's knowledge and then selecting a subset of that knowledge that's critical for decentralization and survival for the human remnant.
And that's what our goal is.
So it's not going to be your AI girlfriend.
It's going to be your AI survival coach.
I guess with this in mind, this picture you've painted for us when it comes to how this would be used in the apocalypse, how it would help literally rebuild society.
My question for you personally is, has this tech, this AI tech, like radically shifted your prognosis for humanity's survival and flourishing should some like crazy apocalyptic thing go down?
Basically, my question is, before this was starting to really, like the ball was getting rolling on all this AI stuff back in, you know, 2021-ish, were you just like, I don't know what's going to happen to humanity?
I mean, this looks bad, but now that AI has here, have you become more positive about humanity's future more or less stay the same?
Or what does that look like for you personally?
That's a great question.
Also, we're not quite there.
We need actually, we need some advances in robotics with open source robot brains using open source AI models.
And that's my next goal.
So the reason we need robotics is because we need the multiplication of human labor in order to rebuild society.
So right now, if you try to live off-grid, you're going to spend a lot of your time trying to grow enough food to not die.
Once you can assign that task to a robot, which is right around the corner, maybe in two years, that'll be really practical.
And we're going to be testing that here, you know, at this facility.
We're in the process of trying to acquire robots and we're going to run them through all our tests.
And our goal there is to advocate for home robotics or small farm robotics to grow food and to handle tasks of decentralized off-grid living.
And those robots can also do patrols, defensive patrols, right?
To watch out for raiders or the zombies or whatever, you know, might be coming for you.
So once we have agentic AI at the software level for all the knowledge, and remember, AI models right now can teach you anything you want to learn.
You can just ask it, write a lesson plan, write a book, write, you know, so that's that's in place now.
It just needs to be expressed better.
But once we have the agentic AI and then the robotic systems that can be flashed with open source, you know, models, which that's going to be a fun experiment.
I'm sure I'm going to ruin some robots here coming up.
But once we can do that, then humanity has a chance.
A chance to survive the drone wars, a chance to survive the Skynet Terminator extermination efforts.
And by the way, I mean, we could do a whole segment.
I know we're almost out of time, but we could do a whole segment on where will be the most likely targets for the Skynet extermination robots.
And that will be the cities, because that's where you have the highest population density and the most people that are on government benefits.
So the cities will be the kill zones.
So the rural areas will be where the survivors move to by definition.
And if you don't know how to live off-grid and you don't have a robot helping you, survival is very difficult.
Yeah.
So we need to get robots combined with the AI that we have now.
And then it's very doable to make it through this.
You can be cut off of anything at any time, you know, with your bank, with Coinbase.
You can be cut off at any time by any, if you're relying on another party that you don't know.
So there's a lot of things you can do in your life.
And I would focus on where you can start.
Just focus on what you can control and through raising the consciousness and awareness.
Because if you don't, you're going to suffer the hard way.
If you don't do those actions, then you deserve what's coming.
Chris, does fractional reserve and rehypothecation have any with the ETFs?
Does that have anything to do with BTC?
Is it really 21 million now or is it not?
I think it's less than 21 million if we're just looking at the physical itself.
Sure.
Yes, there is more paper than there is Bitcoin, not to the magnitude of silver and gold at this current juncture, but absolutely the derivative tail is wagging the dog in this instance.
I'm actually kind of shocked that it's handled it.
Like everybody's panicking, it's 87,000, 86,000.
I look at that having been in 10 years going, okay, I want all the Bitcoins.
So, but is the Wall Street effect, the fractional effect kicked in?
Absolutely.
Without a doubt.
Okay.
Well, you know, we discovered at the beginning of this that there is going to be a 67th book of the Bible, the book of Sullivan.
So I'm taking notes, Chris.
Okay.
Can I add the next question?
Matt, I want to ask you about gold revaluation.
This has been a lot of speculation about that for a long time.
But it looks like Trump is and Besent in particular looking at every possible option to try to shore up U.S. Treasuries and maybe pay down some of the debt to decrease the debt to GDP ratio.
So in the hopes of maybe lowering, you know, 10-year Treasury rates and things like that.
What do you think, Matt?
Is there a gold revaluation in the future?
Oh, 100% there's going to be.
I don't think there's any doubt about it.
The question is, the biggest question, or I think the big open question is whether or not they actually fix it to a price or they simply mark to market.
And I think it's pretty obvious they're simply going to mark to market, and they'll probably do it a few times on the way up as they continue to destroy the currency.
Wait a minute.
So they're going to mark it to the current market price, which let's say if it's $4,000, that only generates for them about, I think, $1 trillion in additional liquidity in the general fund of the Treasury, correct?
Yeah, that's right.
But the thing is, is that if they do it higher than that, they have to defend that price.
Are they actually going to print money and buy gold in the open market at that price?
You don't have credibility because they risk losing a lot of credibility when you do this.
First of all, in fact, you're doing it, you're going to lose credibility.
But then if you try and fix it to it and it either is way below or way, you know, if it's way above, you just, it's fine.
And they know the gold is going to continue to go up because they're going to continue to print money.
Right.
So they can just follow it on the way up.
And you're right.
A trillion dollars isn't that much.
It's an absurd amount of money.
Yeah.
But it isn't that much in the grand scheme of things.
In 2025, it's not that much.
That's wild.
Not a month.
But it's only going to pay down a small percentage of the debt, right?
I mean, this market volatility is really good for the treasury 10-year two.
It really pushes rates down.
So, you know, this is the way they're trying to, my guess is, is that they're going to hold off doing mark to market as long as they can because there's no advantage to doing it.
It's going to have consequences that they can't even imagine, you know, when they do it and market consequences that they might not be able to predict.
But they do need that cash.
They do need that cash.
And so it will come into play at some point.
I mean, I would expect within the next year, I think you'll have a mark to market.
But you are confident that gold will continue trending higher in dollar denomination.
Oh, I'm 100% sure of it.
Yeah.
I mean, I could be wrong, but in my belief system, I'm 100% sure.
It's never been as obvious to me as it's been starting this year when the Trump administration came into office.
And it was clear they had aggressive plans in place to change things, whether they would be successful or not, and that they were going to devalue the dollar as part of it.
It's a specific plank of the policy.
And then you also see the central bank buying the way it is around the world.
It's almost as if every government in the world, and this is true at this point, this wasn't true before now.
Every government in the world benefits from the price of gold going up because they are the largest holders of gold.
So if gold goes up, their balance sheets become better.
I mean, if you think about the crypto currencies look weaker, though, at the same time.
Yeah, that's true, but the fee currencies are on their way out.
And I think they know it's end game at this point.
So I think that's where the flip, the script got flipped recently in the last year, where all of a sudden it's like, no, it's better for us not to suppress it.
And you see the 2,000 tons roughly of gold that moved into the U.S. in the early part of the year.
It's inexplicable.
There is no private buyer who would have been allowed to do that.
Western currencies are failing.
And we're ending the era of these failed fiat currencies.
Many people believe that governments are going to move into digital currencies.
I mean, that just seems the obvious direction here for at least government currency.
Two questions to you, Chris.
Number one, do you think that JP Morgan is going to have its coin and Amazon is going to have its coin and X is going to have its coin?
They're all going to be backed by treasuries to shore up the treasury market.
That's the first question.
And then the second question is: do you think that the government will issue a UBI and use the UBI benefit as a way to force people into something like a CBDC?
Or what are your thoughts on that?
JP Morgan already has one.
Right.
That's right.
Yeah.
Amazon probably.
I've not seen any white papers or written plans to make an evidentiary-based comment on that, but probably is a fair assessment.
And yeah, of course, how I even look at, oh, we're going to get a 2K tariff dividend for below 150 or below 100K incomes, where it was.
They said, oh, it's going to come out in two weeks.
And then, no, no, no, it's going to be Q2, 2026.
I think they're actually kind of goading the Fed to lower rates because the current liquidity picture at the macro level across the planet is end times looking.
If they don't step up and print like on the on the come now, then the whole thing goes kaputz.
And you're looking at the only way out for these powers that shouldn't be is the gray taking.
So whether the administration wants that or not, I can't speak to whether it's part of the agenda, I'm not intimately aware of.
But I know that the central banks are not in cahoots with the administration anywhere on the planet, whether it's in UK, Germany, Japan.
I mean, look at the yen or the yuan, which they keep printing as well.
So I'm just not convinced that what you mentioned about it being kind of a teaser to UBI to then CBDC, that's absolutely what the agenda would be central banks, but just not convinced that it would be part and parcel to what the agenda of the administration is.
What would you and Doug say?
Do we even have any gold at Fort Knox or do you think that's gone?
You know, I think Doug believes we do.
But I'll have to update.
I'll have to ask him again, actually, about that because we haven't talked about that in a while.
But I suspect that they have more than they actually say.
And I know that this 2,000 tons, again, that's added.
Suppose we just had 8,000.
It's possible that they were repatriating it or getting it on hand because they didn't have enough.
That's one thing, one theory.
But I think it's more likely that when they do, if they do anything, they're going to want to, they know, they know what China has been accumulating and they know that they've got a lot of it.
And when the endgame comes with these currencies, I think that they're going to, they all, the central banks are going to make sure that they have enough in place to basically, you know, a certain percentage of their GDP or whatever.
So I suspect they actually have more than people think, really.
Oh, that's encouraging.
And Chris, sometimes we talk over people's heads, and I don't want to do that.
Can you please unpack what the great taking is?
Just for those who may not be familiar, please.
Yeah, it's essentially the, it's part to all of these plans that have names like Cloud Pivot and Calgary, et cetera.
I think you can look at Morals and Dogma 1871 by Albert Pike as probably the first T developments.
But essentially, once 1913 occurred, right, then immediately you have the income tax, World War I, and you set up essentially a plan of three world wars.
And as these acts were passed, both with the confiscation of gold, 1933 and 34 Act for it, then you get to 1964 and they begin to dematerialize property rights to securities.
And from then till 2010 was a step-by-step process, very well described by David Rogers Webb in his book called The Great Taking.
That's why I have that moniker for it, where you don't own anything already and you don't even know that you don't like it yet.
Right.
Cloud Swab.
So that's already occurred.
So that every asset that you hold at your brokerage accounts is held in street name.
You don't own the property rights to it.
It's totally different than the bearer certificates you had as stocks back in the day.
And this is why we're all such advocates of self-custody.
And I'd like to ask you both to talk to our audience about that.
And also, by the way, before the great taking, there will be the great puking, which is the puking of the currency and everybody losing their minds.
Like, where did it all go?
And then there'll be a giant rug pull of all their assets and like, oh my God, we're all suddenly impoverished.
So how do we prevent that?
I'll start with you, Matt.
And feel free to go old school on this too, you know, with just stacking metal or whatever is you, you and Doug Casey talk about this all the time.
What are the best steps that people can take that are practical?
Yeah, well, I should say first, if you read what David Rogers Webb wrote, there is no way to stop the great taking if they pull the trigger.
If you have your assets in the stock market, essentially, if you own stocks, they and this can be done right now.
It can be done tomorrow morning.
It could be done five years from now, but the wiring is all there.
The building is set to implode.
Someone's just got to pull the trigger on it.
So you just have to, if you own stocks, which I do, you're basically betting they're not going to go, you know, they're not going to go nuke on this whole thing.
You know, they're not going to blow it all up right now.
So that's just for the record.
So there's no way to avoid it if you're in the stock market at all.
But it does make sense to own physical, tangible things.
And I would put Bitcoin in that category.
I'm not as familiar with the other cryptocurrencies, but it is something that you can self-custody, that you have possession of.
I know it's dematerialized, but it is something that does exist.
And so that does count in this category.
Obviously, I'm a big fan of gold.
I think silver is speculative.
The problem with silver, physical silver, is that obviously we talked about how hard it was to redeem gold or sell gold if you ever needed cash.
That problem is just worse with silver because it's a lot heavier.
So, you know, I'm much more, much, I might trade in silver, but I own physically much more gold by comparison.
But I also, I believe in just the things that you need for your life.
I mean, one of the best things you can do is with inflation where it is and knowing they're going to print money, what are the things that you know you're going to buy in the next year?
Buying them today, I mean, you're almost guaranteed at least a 10% return on that, potentially a lot higher than that.
So if you know you're going to, I mean, by, you know, by spending 10% less overtime on those things, I mean, you know, while the money's still more valuable today.
So like, that's one of the most obvious no-brainers everybody can do.
Like, what are the household goods that do not spoil that you know that you're going to need in the next year?
You've got extra storage room.
You should get them in advance.
There's no reason not to.
Beyond that, you know, I'm, you know, I have a, I'm into being able to produce my own food.
And, you know, and I know this is limited for some people what they can do.
I understand that.
But even having a garden, it makes sense.
You get actually way better food and it's in your control.
And the prices of tomatoes don't matter to you.
You know, so that's, I think these are all things that are totally tangible that people ought to do and are rewarding in and of themselves to do.
Like you don't, you feel good in doing and planning and gardening and self-custodying your own Bitcoin, figuring out how that works and doing that and certainly owning gold as well.
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?
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.
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 bucks.
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 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 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.
One of the great benefits of this disruptive new, this technology and maybe the, you know, 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 that 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.
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 sent 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.
Through 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.
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 the 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 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, okay, 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 way.
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.
That's exactly true.
You solve even a small problem for a billion people.
Yeah.
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.
