Brighteon Broadcast News, Jan 2, 2026 - The 2026 RECKONING: The America We Once Knew is Now OVER

Well welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for what is it Friday January 2nd 2026 We're in a whole new year now.
This is going to get interesting.
I appreciate you joining me.
I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon and the AI developer of the Brighteon engines, and you know, speaking of that, coming up in 2026, we will have some new, exciting announcements about some well new applications, new engines, new features to the existing engines, etc.
And that's because not only are the AI engines themselves becoming more capable, but I think I'm getting a little better at prompting also.
That is, I'm able to get out of these engines more of what I'm looking for.
And I'm able to take some shortcuts now.
Or that is time-saving measures that still achieve the same results in less time.
And a lot of that has to do with spinning up sub-agents, but not going to get into that right now.
Speaking of AI, I took it upon myself over the holidays to attempt to create a song and a music video in the style of Peter Gabriel, who's just a beloved musician of Western culture over the last several decades.
And I was wondering, can I use my prompting skills and my observations about Peter Gabriel's voice and his musical style?
etc.
Can I create a song that a typical person would believe it if I said to them, hey this, you know, this is Peter Gabriel singing.
Let's say, not that I I'm not claiming that publicly, but as a test just, you know, for vocal resemblance, could I fool somebody into thinking that wow, that's a Peter Gabriel song and that's him singing?
And I think the answer is yes, although I've kind of, you know, spilled the beans on it right here, and I also I want to say up front, what I'm about to play for you here is that song that I think sounds very much like Peter Gabriel, but I'm not attempting to exploit his voice or his likeness in any kind of bad faith way or nefarious way.
In fact, I have a full one hour podcast that discusses this issue of AI mimicry of known artists, and I've got suggestions in that podcast about some of the things that artists can do to protect their likeness, their voice, their face, their you know, their likeness, whatever that happens to be, whatever art form that they're known for.
And I think this is a very important discussion, because 2026, I think the person of the year of 2026 won't be a person.
I think the person of the year will be a machine, Or maybe the idea of machines as replacing humans in some job roles, but also assisting humans in many different roles.
You know, machine augmentation of people.
And where can we use machines to enhance our quality of life?
For example, in elderly care, in education, so many areas where machine cognition can be very useful.
Like in the project that I've launched, BrightLearn.ai, where you can use AI technology to create a book on any topic within just a few minutes, completely free of charge.
So there's a strong advantage of AI.
But I think that AI is going to really get more traction in 2026.
In fact, I think it's going to take off.
And so there will be a lot of disruptions, economic disruptions, job role disruptions, even cultural and mental health type of disruptions.
As some people are displaced from the job market and they may begin to feel like they've lost their purpose.
So we're going to have a mental health crisis because of AI displacement of humans.
That's almost guaranteed to happen.
However, there are solutions to that as well that we can talk about maybe on another podcast.
So I think what I'll do right now is I'm going to start out by playing this four and a half minute song for you.
It's called The Great Divergence.
I'd like you to hear the song and then we'll continue with the broadcast after the song.
Oh, also, the music video was put together by my editor, who did a fantastic job because I asked for a theme that combines a future with low-tech living environments, kind of like a Star Wars, I think it's a Tatooine model, you know, people living in like mud domes or mud huts, but they have technology around them,
such as robots or AI, etc.
That's kind of like a Star Wars ecosystem, you know, low-tech in terms of how you're living, you know, living spaces and so on.
But high-tech in terms of the technology that's widely available.
So check out this music video and new song, and you tell me whether you think that this is convincingly mimicking the voice and musical style of Peter Gabriel.
Here we go.
Circuit's humming, cold comes alive.
The future's starting to arrive.
Two worlds splitting at the seams.
Wake up now or lose the dream.
Machines are thinking, learning quick.
Human jobs are slipping slick.
Those who prompt will multiply.
Those who don't will wonder why.
Compute is now the crown you wear.
Knowledge flows to those who dare.
The gap is growing, can't you see?
One side drives, one bends the knee.
Learn the tools or lose the fight.
Darkness fades before the light.
Hesitate and miss your chance.
Join the rise or lose the dance.
Feel the great divergence calling.
Half horizon, half are falling.
Grab the future, hold on tight, or vanish slowly from the light.
The canyon splits the old and new which side is awaiting There for you no standing still, no middle ground Evolve right now or don't be found Pocket doctor, pocket law Chemist, answering your call, Genius resting in your palm, Guiding you through every storm.
Gates of falling walls, come down, Write.
Learn bills.
A wisdom crown.
Write any book, learn anything.
Feel the power in all this brain.
Drudgery will fade away.
Automation shakes your day.
Chains of boredom finally break the innovators.
Path to take.
Feel the great divergence calling Half horizon.
Half are falling.
Grab the future.
Hold on tight or vanish slowly from sight.
The canyon splits the old and new.
Which side is awaiting There for you?
No standing still or middle ground.
Right now or defund
Great divergence calling Sovereigns rise while slaves are falling Open freedom, hold it tight Your human soul, it burns so bright The Kenya splits the chain, I'm free Now which side will you choose to be?
Responsibility Shape a future wise and grand wires, humming choices clear.
The great divergence is finally here, Not less human, multiplied With more intelligence.
By your side, Use it wisely, light the way For generations yet to say, They saw the split, they made the call.
All right, so
what did you think of that song, huh.
And there's a lot to unpack there.
First is, well, just the lyrics of what I'm trying to say in the song, but that's separate from the idea of creating a song that arguably convincingly mimics the vocal style of a well-known musical artist, Peter Gabriel, and his musical style.
And I'm not going to go into all the details here, but I have recorded a separate one-hour podcast on that subject where I walk through the music section by section with my commentary and my struggle of what it took to create that music.
It was not easy.
It was not something that could be easily accomplished by just an everyday user, that's for sure.
You know, a user of the Suno engine.
This was a complex task, and I took it on as a personal challenge.
I spent quite a bit of time on it, but I'm very happy with the result.
Hope you enjoyed the song.
And then there's the music video itself that my producer put together and what you think about that video and some of the symbolism in there, you know, like a man and a robot shaking hands, let's say.
Not everybody's okay with that image because some people are very concerned and, you know, genuinely, I mean, I understand the concern.
They're concerned about rise of the robots and Skynet and Terminators and robots replacing humans or robots even achieving depopulation, massive killbots, etc.
So those are themes that are going to become ever more present in 2026 and beyond.
However, despite the fact that, yes, globalists are trying to kill off much of the human population, that's clear, they haven't yet used robots to do that.
And I don't think they will because there are far more efficient ways for them to achieve that.
For example, turning off the power grid or faking a pandemic and getting everybody to line up for more vaccine jabs that are bioweapons.
I mean, who needs robot terminators when people will line up to commit medical assisted suicide with vaccines, you know?
So there are many other methods that globalists can turn to without having to invoke like a Skynet Terminator type of scenario.
But before we talk about that more and what's coming in 2026, I want to cover a special report on what's happening with silver and China.
It's a big deal.
We're about to see, I think, some defaults in the maybe the Comex.
I mean, we're about to see some force majeure type of activity.
It's going to get ugly.
So let's go to that special report right now.
All right, welcome to the special report on silver for 2026.
I'm Mike Adams.
And as you know, silver recently had a huge breakout from its lower prices.
It ended 2025 in the $70 range, essentially from $70 to $80 in that range, bouncing around there.
But 2026 is going to be something totally new and absolutely shocking, by the way.
So in my opinion, anyway, you can decide whether this makes sense to you.
But one thing just happened.
China did just put in place its enforcement of its restrictions on silver exports out of China.
And this goes into effect now.
And apparently it affects as much as 70% of the silver that is exported from any country all over the world.
I was a little surprised to hear the number was that high.
I'm a little bit suspicious of that number, so take it with a grain of salt.
I didn't think China represented 70%, but maybe it's just 70% of the excess silver.
Who knows?
I thought there was a lot more silver mining happening in South America, for example.
But anyway, this is going to have an impact, and it could be a huge impact.
With China considering silver to be a critical resource that it needs to protect and preserve for its own domestic industry, and with Trump having recently declared silver to be a critical resource, a strategic resource for the United States, what we're actually watching is a collapse of the globalism marketplace of silver and the rise of nationalism, silver protectionism,
or you could say regional silver markets.
So China is not going to allow any silver to be sold to the United States.
And the U.S. under Trump is probably not going to allow any silver to be sold to China either.
And it's fairly easy to see that Trump is putting pressure on countries like Venezuela with oil shipping embargoes that also impacts China.
But you can imagine that many countries in South America would be pressured to not export silver to China.
While at the same time, many countries in Asia might be pressured to avoid exporting silver to the United States or U.S. allies, such as the UK or Canada.
As a result, silver marketplaces are about to become strongly segmented, which means that the supply question of silver is now fractured into two hemispheres.
So you're going to have the China or the China-dominated, the China-anchored supply chain of silver, which will be everything in the Far East and what China controls and where China can have influence with countries that may export to China from elsewhere around the world.
And then you're going to have the Western silver supply chain and supply marketplace that's dominated by U.S. control.
And these two supply chains are very rarely going to cross over each other any longer.
And that's why you're going to see really two different prices of silver from here forward and two different fractured marketplaces, let's say.
So you could end up with a severe silver shortage in the West, while in China they may still have better supply.
Or the opposite could happen.
You could see a silver shortage in China and much higher prices in China combined with lower prices in the West, at least temporarily, while they're still doing the paper chase, you know, the paper shuffle to try to keep silver prices artificially low.
So this is the first thing I want you to understand, is that the price in Beijing may not be anywhere close to the price in New York or Chicago.
And it's going to be that way for a long time to come.
And that begins now.
And in addition, the supply chains will be very different in Beijing versus New York or Chicago, let's say.
Which also means that producers of products in the United States are going to face new scarcity challenges that they did not face before because they could always get it from China or some other place.
Those opportunities are collapsing.
I'm also thinking that the COMEX is going to raise the margin requirements significantly.
They've already gone up a couple of times last week.
I think they're now around $30,000 per contract of silver, which represents 5,000 troy ounces.
But $30,000 per contract still allows a lot of leverage.
And I would imagine that that $30,000 is going to become $50,000 and then $100,000 until at some point the margin requirement will become 100%, which means it's not margin at all.
It's cash.
You want silver, you put up the money.
Otherwise, no silver for you.
So this whole idea of being able to manipulate the silver marketplace through fractional investments, you know, margin, that could be coming to an end in the West because it's very clear that no matter what somebody has set as a price on a paper contract, if you can't deliver the physical silver that that contract is legally supposed to represent, then your system craters and collapses.
And I strongly suspect that we're going to see some major rumblings of that beginning Monday in the United States.
In fact, I would not be surprised if we start to see significant signs of default on physical deliveries.
And they might have different names for that.
They might have, they might call it, you know, cash settlement, where they say, we're cashing you out.
We can't deliver the silver, but we're going to pay you in fiat currency.
Maybe they'll just call it a cash out.
Or they could call it force majeure and say, well, we can't deliver because of an act of God outside of our control, which they could just point to China and they could say, look, China is restricting their exports and that's force majeure.
And now we can't make good on our contracts.
And so good luck.
You know, that could happen at the COMEX, right?
Or other potentially other places as well.
So we're going to start to see the system cracking, which, if there are any signs of that, the market price of silver is going to skyrocket.
This could easily thrust silver way beyond $100 an ounce, although don't take this as investment advice.
And I'm not your advisor.
And this is just a projection.
I could be wrong.
But I anticipate it being well beyond $100 an ounce this calendar year, sometime in 2026.
And I wouldn't be surprised at all if it happened in 30 days, honestly, or 90 days.
It could happen very quickly.
So whoever holds physical silver in all of this is going to be king.
If you've got physical silver, hold on to it.
I would say don't try to cash out and take profits because where are you going to put the currency?
What are you going to do with the profits?
Unless you have something great to put it into, it's probably better to stay in silver, if you think about it.
So keep it in silver or gold or something like that.
So we're going to see a breakdown of physical delivery.
And I've done the math on this.
And if you look at the annual silver production out of mining operations, and remember that silver is a secondary metal that comes out of mines that mostly mine zinc and lead or nickel or copper, for example, silver is the byproduct.
So there aren't a lot of mines or hardly any that are focused on silver alone, which means it's not going to be easy to ramp up silver production.
And in some cases, some of these mines are closing.
Copper mines are closing, which will reduce silver output.
But anyway, if you do the math and you look at the total global annual demand for silver for manufacturing, whether it's solar panels or batteries or electronics or medical devices or weapon systems or telecom, whatever the case may be, it's very clear that there's just not enough silver being produced each year to meet the demand.
Not by a long shot.
There is a shortage of hundreds of millions of ounces of silver every year.
And that shortage has been met up until now with stockpiles, extra silver in the system, stockpiles of silver, or people sitting on silver that they would be willing to part with.
But one of the things that David Morgan said in an interview that I heard the last, I guess, in the last day, that I thought was very insightful is that what we're really witnessing is that the remaining physical silver is moving out of the hands of the speculators who don't need silver to survive.
They're just interested in making money.
And that silver is moving into the hands of the industrialists who absolutely must have the silver in order for them to continue their manufacturing of their products, whether it be mobile phones or cruise missiles or whatever.
And as a result, as they are taking over the silver and the silver contracts, they have zero interest in selling that silver at any price.
In other words, you're seeing a radical shift of silver out of the hands of parties that you could negotiate with.
You could offer a higher price and they would be willing to let it go into the hands of parties that won't let silver go at any price because it's a component in their product line.
As a result, we're going to see a hardening of the silver positions.
And those holding silver are going to be less and less willing to let go of that silver, whether it's a contract or an actual physical stockpile.
And this is going to send the price of silver skyward, clearly, because the scarcity is going to result in a kind of industrial panic.
At some point, many of these producers will say, well, my God, how do we get the silver?
Where do we go to get the silver?
How much do we have to offer?
Who do we have to pay?
I mean, somebody's got to be willing to give up their silver.
A lot of it.
We need to find hundreds of millions of ounces of silver in the system.
And it's going to take a high price to convince people to sell their silver.
Higher than $100 an ounce, in my opinion.
More like $150 an ounce, or maybe within a couple of years, maybe $200 an ounce.
I could see that happening by the end of 2027.
That is, unless there's a global economic collapse or something that really destroys industrial demand.
And that's a possibility.
So keep that in mind as a possibility.
You know, there could be some event and a massive die-off of humans and then less demand for products that need silver, obviously.
So there are still many factors at work.
But the other thing in all of this is the fact that silver is being increasingly recognized as money.
And people are seeing inflation accelerating and the collapsing value of the dollar as the Federal Reserve keeps printing trillions and the Treasury is desperately trying to find new buyers for its basically defunct treasuries, you know, the 10-year usually.
The dollar is collapsing.
Inflation is getting worse.
And more and more people are realizing, hey, we better have gold and silver.
Otherwise, we're going to be left with nothing, you know, no value, because this green cash, this isn't lasting.
What's lasting is the metals, gold and silver.
So the reason I mention this is because it's critical to understand that silver demand comes from both vectors at the same time.
There's unprecedented industrial demand where we have to have the element.
We literally have to have this metal.
to make our products.
And then on top of that, there's monetary demand, which is coming from people who are realizing that the dollar is collapsing.
And many of them can't afford, let's say, even an ounce of gold.
So silver is less expensive.
You can get an ounce of silver for under 100 bucks at the moment.
Maybe not for long, but at the moment you can.
So a lot of people are turning to silver as the new money, which makes sense because silver is money.
Gold is also money.
Dollars are not money.
Dollars are currency.
And dollars are not holding value.
So the demand for silver will be expressed as the combination of these two fundamental drivers, industrial demand and monetary demand.
And when you combine both of those, things get really interesting and prices can absolutely skyrocket.
Because scarcity, scarcity is real and it will last for years to come.
There is no easy, quick way to bring silver back, you know, to just create more silver.
You know, the government can print money or a central bank can print currency.
That's the correct term, currency, not money.
They can print currency, but you can't print silver.
You can't print gold.
You can't create it from nothing.
And you can't even open a new mine in anything less than five to ten years.
And even if you could open a new mine, you might face a lot of resistance from the eco-protesters who don't want to mine.
And yeah, I don't want to tear up sacred rainforests and things like that.
I want to protect the ecosystem as well.
But that just means that our world is going to get very, well, commodities are going to become incredibly scarce.
In fact, NVIDIA just announced that they're going to more than double the prices on their GPUs beginning in February.
So, for example, the RTX 50-90 GPU cards that I've been buying for about $2,000 or maybe $2,200, they're going to go up to $5,000.
That's the rumor in February.
$5,000.
Why?
Because NVIDIA is having a hard time getting the copper, the aluminum, the nickel, the, you know, everything that goes into the GPUs.
And yes, a little bit of silver too.
The commodities are becoming scarce.
So we are about to move into a chapter of extreme commodities scarcity, which means extremely high commodities pricing.
And those who have the commodities, that is, if you're stacking gold or silver or if you own a copper mine, that's where real wealth is going to be found for many years to come, or at least one of the vectors.
Because physical elements will become incredibly scarce and expensive.
So that's just one more reason to maybe consider acquiring more silver right now.
If you want to get more silver or gold, check out Battalion Metals.
That's our sponsor at metalswithmike.com.
That's metalswithmike.com.
And yes, they're co-founded by Tucker Carlson and Chris Olson and his group and very trustworthy people there, metalswithmike.com.
Don't take any of this as investment advice.
My projections could be wrong.
There could be events that are outside of my control or outside of my observations that could come in.
You know, wild cards, black swans.
There are things that could crash the price of silver.
Maybe there's a new discovery that allows solar panels to be made with only half the silver.
You know, there could be breakthroughs.
And then silver demand would plummet and then silver price could drop.
So there are risks.
And this is a complex marketplace.
But from what I see, all the signs are pointing to strong, consistent increases in the demand of silver and the price of silver, probably for years to come, is my guess.
So do your own research and follow more of my reports and interviews at brighteon.com and use all of my AI tools at brightion.ai.
And thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right, continuing with the broadcast here today, I forgot to mention I've got an interview coming up with Dave DeCamp from antiwar.com.
I think you'll really enjoy that interview.
So you want to stay tuned for that one.
Interesting discussion also about whether 2026 is going to be a year of peace or a year of more wars.
And the answer is probably not peace, unfortunately.
I don't mean to spoil the interview, but it's not looking good for peace.
Also, I've got a special report coming up here called The American Tax Revolt Begins.
There's a tax revolt movement that has just been sparked by, well, really the Somali fraud.
It's just, it's triggered so many people into saying, why are we playing by the rules?
Why are we earning money and paying money, paying taxes, sending tax money to the government when they just waste it all away through fraud and they reward people who are fraudsters and con artists and criminals, while we, the honest, hardworking Americans, we're working and playing by the rules and nobody else is.
And the government's rewarding the criminals.
That's a legit question.
A lot of people asking that question right now.
So that's coming up in a special report.
American Tax Revolt.
Okay, also, before we get to all that, I want to give my official sort of conclusion to my long-standing prediction.
I've been predicting for, I don't know, six or seven years, that America as we know it would no longer exist by the end of 2025, which was a couple of days ago.
So I posted this, and then I'll discuss a little bit.
Quote, years ago, I predicted America as we know it would no longer exist by the end of 2025.
We did not have a kinetic civil war, a world war, secession, or a debt collapse, not yet.
But we now know that America has transformed into a crime scene where nearly every government agency, both state and federal, is a criminal racket that launders money into the hands of willing accomplices.
We know that our justice system is wrecked.
Our currency is rapidly eroding.
Our elections are rigged.
Our national media is a disgrace.
Our education system is a global embarrassment.
Our universities are useless, woke indoctrination centers.
Nearly the entire U.S. Congress prioritizes the interests of another foreign country.
And all the worst traitors and war criminals still run free, untouched by anything resembling justice, regardless of who's in the White House.
I can't say America fractured the way I thought it would, but its pillars have crumbled.
And we are left with an empty shell of a once great nation that now can no longer even conduct simple audits of tens of billions of dollars in government grant fraud and runaway waste.
We are beyond the tipping point of collapse.
And now the ugly raw truth of what America has become is gurgling to the surface with its nauseating, putrid stink of corruption, arrogance, and incompetence.
There is no returning from this.
Collapse is inevitable and ugly.
And the people will suffer greatly when the fake currency debt pyramid Ponzi scheme is hyperinflated into oblivion.
And the people wake up homeless and destitute in the land their forefathers once founded on greatness and discipline.
So that's my take on 2025.
So yeah, it didn't turn out the way that I thought it would.
It's in some ways it's worse.
I would have preferred almost like a clean secession, you know.
Instead, we're losing the whole freaking country.
You know, I could handle if like the West Coast of California decided that we want to become our own communist country.
You know, not that I'm in favor of a breaking up of the United States, but that would be better than what we have now, which is everything is failing.
Everything's collapsing.
You know, the currency, the justice system, you name it.
And frankly, the Somali fraud situation is just a tiny little sample.
It's indicative of a much larger problem, a problem that will never be resolved.
And here's one of my predictions about the Somali situation.
How much you want to bet, nobody prominent goes to jail.
Yeah, they'll arrest and indict, I don't know, a small group of people you've never heard of just to act like, oh, we're doing something.
You know, we're prosecuting.
You know, we're going to uphold the rule of law.
But will they arrest Governor Walls?
No.
Even though his fingers are all over this thing.
Will they arrest prominent Democrats who arranged for the campaign finance money laundering fraud?
Nope.
Nope.
Nobody who has any power will be prosecuted and go to prison.
That's my prediction.
Only some sort of scapegoat Somalis who undoubtedly did commit fraud, but they'll be the ones going to jail as kind of a token, you know, the token criminals.
But the real criminals with the real power, they get away scot-free as usual.
I mean, here we are.
Trump's been president since January 20th of last year.
So it's coming up on a year.
Have there been any prominent arrests?
Anybody?
Any of the traitors?
Anybody involved in the Auto Penn scandal?
Anybody who covered up the Hunter Biden laptop?
Anybody who ran the Trump, you know, the Russia collusion effort to destroy Trump?
Anybody who was involved in the assassination attempts on Trump?
Has anybody been arrested for rigging the 2020 election?
Has Fauci been arrested?
Anybody arrested for the total COVID fraud and scams and the, you know, the FDA decisions that were rooted in criminal fraud that killed all kinds of Americans?
Has anybody been arrested in any of that?
The answer is no.
Not a single person.
Not a single person has been arrested.
Trump's been in the White House almost a year.
Nothing, nothing is getting done in terms of arresting these traitors and these criminals that sought to destroy this nation.
What about Alejandro Mallorcas?
Mallorcas is a traitor.
He's the mastermind behind the mass illegal immigration invasion of America under Biden and also under Obama that still has tens of billions of illegals in this country who will no doubt be voting in the midterms, many of them anyway.
Has Mallorkas been criminally prosecuted?
No.
Even though he's a traitor who orchestrated the invasion of our nation, he will get away scot-free.
James Clapper being prosecuted?
Nope.
Jim Comey, well, they charged him with some small crimes.
It's all being thrown out by the judges.
Nothing will happen.
In other words, nothing has changed.
And I'm not a doom and gloomer about the future, by the way.
I want to be clear.
I actually, I have a lot of optimism about the future, but only because I know this system is cratering.
And the sooner it collapses, the better for humanity.
The better for all of us.
Because the system is broken beyond repair.
The system needs to collapse as soon as possible so that we can actually restore something resembling a constitutional republic.
And we don't have anything like that right now.
We don't have capitalism.
We don't have free markets.
We don't have the rule of law.
We don't have fair and free elections.
We don't have the First Amendment.
We don't have the Second Amendment.
We don't have the Fourth Amendment.
We don't have the Fifth Amendment.
We don't even have the 10th Amendment functioning either.
I mean, we do not have America.
So although this isn't the way I had thought things would go down, you could legitimately argue that here we are right now at the beginning of 2026, and America as we know it is gone.
It's lost.
It's not the America that I grew up in.
I don't know about you.
It's not the America that we were promised.
It's not the America that we tried to create.
It's not the America that our founding fathers saw.
We have total corruption of the United States Congress.
The Senate is run by a bunch of money laundering criminals and perverts.
You know, I mean, the entire DOJ and the FBI are nothing but theatrical actors pretending to uphold the rule of law.
You know, every government grant program is just rife with fraud and abuse and waste and corruption.
The Pentagon, now a trillion dollars a year in a budget of just massive waste and fraud.
Remember what happened when Elon Musk and Team Doge said, yeah, we're going to audit the Pentagon next?
That's when they started shutting them down.
Oh, no, no.
Hands off the Pentagon because the very name, the Pentagon, they're putting the gone back into the currency.
Because when you send a trillion dollars to the Pentagon, yeah, it's gone.
It vanishes into deep black holes and multi-parallel universe vortexes called the defense industry.
Like they can't make a cruise missile work, but they figured out how to teleport money into an alternate dimension and make it vanish from this reality.
They've mastered that art.
So that's where all the money's going, or at least a trillion dollars a year.
And have no illusions, folks.
America, as we know it, is done.
It's over.
It's gone.
The currency is in a state of collapse.
I mean, I've just given all the, well, some of the examples, but there are many more.
And I suspect that 2026 is a year of accelerating collapse.
But the nation probably will continue to be held together with chewing gum, duct tape, and bailing wire, i.e., overnight emergency funds for banks,
Export restrictions on capital, you know, declaring gold and silver to be critical resources so the government can control it, or at least limit people exporting it out of the country, you know, just force it all to stay in the USA.
Capital controls.
The election coming up, the midterm election later this year is going to be a nightmare of corruption and fraud.
Like nobody in this country will trust the outcome of the election no matter what.
I mean, no reasonable person.
Whether the Democrats win or the Republicans win, everybody's going to think this is total fraud.
It doesn't even work.
It's all black box voting.
You know, how many illegals are voting?
How many hundreds of these Somalis are registered to the same physical address, you know, the same church or the same front, and they're all voting.
It's complete fraud.
So, in other words, our democracy, our so-called democracy, doesn't exist.
It is not even, it's not intact.
It's run by whoever is committing the greatest amount of fraud.
And right now, that's, you know, that's the Democrats and that's the deep state.
And trust me, there's plenty of fraud on the GOP side as well because they look the other way while all this money was going to the NGOs.
You know, Republicans voted for USAID money and all this grant money and all the money going to Israel and all the money going to Ukraine.
Speaker Johnson is pushing 90 plus billion more dollars to Ukraine.
I think it is.
So yeah, it's the same scams.
It's the same theatrical BS that we're told is our government and that they represent us.
No, they don't.
That fraud is done.
The American people are done.
Like, you don't represent us at all.
So more than ever, the country right now is really ripe for a tax revolt, which is the topic of my report here, but also a lot of political instability.
And although I always pray for peace, you know, domestically as well as internationally, I still have fears that I'm not so much afraid of a left-wing civil war attempt for this year.
I'm more afraid of mass destitution and homelessness, desperation, financial collapse, sky-high inflation, people just discovering that they can't afford to eat.
They can't afford to pay rent at all.
They're on the streets.
Homeless, desperate, hungry Americans on every street corner in every major city.
That's what I think we're going to see in 2026.
And it's all a result.
Well, it can be traced back to money printing for the most part or currency counterfeiting.
So that's the cost of currency counterfeiting.
You put the power to create currency in the hands of the most corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.
And of course, they abuse it.
And of course, they extract wealth from the people.
And of course, those people end up penniless and homeless and destitute.
While the wealthy elite in the Hunger Games version of Washington, D.C., oh, they've got the new ballrooms.
They're partying down with the fancy hau d'oeuvres and the dinner parties and the buffets and all dressing up with all their fancy dresses and suits and celebrating their wealth.
Well, veterans starve on the streets and former truck drivers find themselves out of work.
And tens of millions of Americans discover that they are no longer employable In an economy that's also collapsing under the weight of the massive debt Ponzi scheme that our a long list of presidents and members of Congress put in place going back for generations.
Well, the reckoning is here.
2026 is the reckoning, or at least a pivotal part of it.
It's actually going to play out, I think, for many years to come.
But 2026 will be the acceleration of the reckoning.
And I would imagine there will be millions of Americans this year that decide they're no longer paying taxes.
They're just going to say, screw it.
I cannot participate in this system any longer.
Some of them will say, if I pay taxes, I can't afford to eat.
I can't buy food for my children, let's say.
So I have to choose: do I either support this corrupt criminal government or do I feed my own children?
You know what the answer is going to be?
They're going to feed their own children.
We're going to see a tax revolt like we've never seen before.
And the crime that's now being uncovered with the Somali situation in Minnesota, yeah, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
See, I'm not surprised by any of it.
And probably you aren't either, but a lot of Americans are really surprised by it.
That's why they're getting triggered, you know.
Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening.
Well, you should have been listening because this has been going on for a long, long time.
It's way worse than this.
The Somali story is just the warm-up round.
You want to know the depth of the total fraud?
Yeah.
Listen to Mitch Vexler.
In fact, I'm going to get, I'm going to reinvite Mitch Vexler back onto the program.
Because you see, your property taxes are also a total government scam.
That's massive fraud.
They overvalue properties.
They take all your money and then it disappears down these local black holes of deep pockets, bribery, fraud, campaign finance, money laundering, you name it.
So yeah, property taxes nationwide are also a total fraud to the tune of what, I don't know, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars.
I don't even know how large it is.
It's got to be very large, especially in places like California or New York.
Imagine.
So that's a total fraud.
And we've all been getting ripped off by our governments year after year after year with zero accountability.
And they know they're committing frauds and scams.
They know it.
It's in Texas too.
It's in every state in America.
It's in Hawaii.
Oh boy, there's a fraud.
It's in Illinois, another massive fraud.
They take in all this money and then they claim they're broke and they need more money to fund schools.
No, they don't.
No, they don't.
It's all a con.
They're scamming everybody because people have tolerated it and that's changing now.
People are fed up.
So 2026 is going to be truly a great reckoning year.
Hey, tomorrow, I want to remind you we've got a really great docuseries streaming at brightu.com.
It's called Absolute Healing.
And it begins streaming tomorrow, Saturday.

Optionally, you can purchase the whole thing and download it, or you can watch it for free with registration.
Just your email address.
Just sign up at brightu.com.
That's the word bright, followed by the letter you, brightu.com.
And one episode streams each day on a loop.
So you can check out episode one tomorrow, and then episode two plays Sunday.
Episode three plays Monday, etc.
You can just join the website at any time because it's on a continuous loop for each episode.
So this docu series has a wealth of information about helping you heal from mRNA damage, whether you took some jabs and you still suffer some long-term side effects, sometimes called long COVID, but that's not what it is.
It's actually long-term vaccine damage.
Or if you have been shed on by other people who took the jabs and then you became symptomatic because of their vaccine spreading behavior.
Well, how do you heal from that?
We give you the answers.
Jonathan Otto and myself and all of his amazing guests, I mean, this is a really comprehensive docu series.
You'll want to check it out.
Again, starts tomorrow, but you can register for it right now at brightyou.com.
And I also want to remind you that our book website, you know, brightlearn.ai, where you can create any book in minutes on any topic, absolutely free.
That site now has almost 13,000 books published, over 4,000 authors, almost 120,000 downloads of the books.
And we're doing some really great things there.
So I'm working on a new feature, which is a file synchronization feature to let you run a local program on your Windows or your Mac, and it will download a big selection of the PDFs to your local hard drive.
That'll all be free.
I'm still working on that feature.
It's coming.
And then we're also working on fixing.
There was a bug in the PDF creation engine where occasionally there would be text overlaid on top of other texts on some of the PDF pages.
And we're trying to fix that.
We may have fixed it for the new books.
If the fix is confirmed, then I will re-render all the PDF files.
That is 13,000 of them.
That should be fun.
And we'll get them all correctly presented.
So that's coming.
And then some additional features with auto translations and things like that.
But check it out at brightlearn.ai.
And 2026, I've got some big surprises for you.
Because I'm, for me personally, I'm on a whole new track here.
I've decided it's not worth much time focused on details of political scandals.
And instead, my time is better spent building these incredible engines and platforms that help set people free and help you bypass censorship and help you create and share uplifting information, empowering information that is really part of the knowledge revolution.
So I'm not a political revolutionary, but I am a knowledge revolutionary in the sense that I'm revolutionizing methods of bringing people knowledge in different languages and different formats all across the world.
And that's going to be my focus for 2026.
And if I showed you what was going on behind the scenes, what I'm working on, I think your mind would be blown.
I mean, just my goodness.
I also want to remind you that taking care of your health is going to be really critical for 2026.
I have a feeling they're going to try to roll out another pandemic.
You know, it's been five years.
Most people have forgotten about all the shenanigans during COVID, all the psyops, the media lies, the cover-ups.
So they're probably ready to run it again and see who else they can sucker into medical-assisted suicide jabs.
And that's probably going to be quite a few people.
So yeah, they're going to try it again.
I suspect either this year or next year, it seems.
I mean, you know, they're really desperate.
So this year, more than ever, I encourage you to take care of yourself, invest in your own fitness, invest in your own nutrition and clean foods and health.
I'm doing the same thing.
I'm healthier now than I have been in many, many years.
And really, 2025 for me was a turning point with physical health and also peptide therapy and sunlight therapy on top of all the nutrition and superfoods that I was already doing.
Now I'm doing all those things together and I'm getting extraordinary, extraordinary results.
Just to remind you, a year ago today, I could not jog even 100 yards because of some old injuries and they were becoming debilitating.
And yesterday I jogged one hour, multiple miles, yes.
And then after that, I lifted kettlebells and got the best numbers ever, the most weights, the most reps, etc.
I mean, I'm telling you, the right nutrition, the peptide therapy, you know, I'm doing the BPC 157, doing some other peptides that are oral or intradasal, and the sunlight therapy and the red light therapy.
These things, they work.
They work.
I mean, it's the results are just extraordinary.
And I want to share that good news with you and also ask you for your help.
Definitely consider supporting us at healthrangerstore.com because that's where we sell our clean foods and superfoods and supplements and personal care products that are ultra clean, laboratory tested.
Almost all the foods we sell are certified organic other than, you know, salt, which there's no such thing as organic salt because sodium chloride is an inorganic crystalline lattice, by the way.
For the chemists out there, you know what I'm talking about.
Organic salt.
I've actually seen organic salt products on the shelf.
I'm like, really?
What's organic about it?
Nothing.
There's nothing organic in salt.
It's not even an agriculture product.
It's not even grown in the field.
Does somebody spray salt with pesticides?
No.
No.
Doesn't happen.
Anyway, whatever.
Invest in your health.
And by supporting us at healthrangerstore.com, you're also investing in our ability to build these amazing tools for you like BrightLearn.ai and to keep them free to help you express yourself and conduct research and learn things and build a knowledge base, etc.
I mean, it's, wow, with your support, we're going to be able to do some amazing things in 2026 and beyond.
And if you could see what's on my drawing board, oh yeah, this is going to be a fun year in terms of launching new things for your benefit, things that, yeah.
Okay.
I don't want to pre-announce too much stuff because sometimes it takes longer than I think.
But I'll just say, this is going to be a great year for awesome tools that you'll be able to use completely free.
If you thought BrightLearn.ai was awesome, and it is, it's going to get better.
And it's just one of several, in other words.
So there you go.
All right.
Let's play the special report now called the American Tax Revolt Begins.
And following that, we'll have an interview with Dave DeCamp from anti-war.com.
So enjoy the rest of the show.
And I'll be back with you over the weekend.
Yep.
Take care.
I've never seen such a strong, spontaneous call for a tax revolt in America.
This is Mike Adams.
Welcome to the special report and welcome to the new year 2026.
So Marjorie Taylor Green, who unfortunately is resigning from Congress in January, she's already announced her resignation, but she is even out there saying that it's time for a tax revolt.
And I'm seeing spontaneous videos from lots of ordinary men and women who are really angry, very angry.
And even Elon Musk is retweeting some of this stuff.
And the people are asking the obvious question.
Why should we play by the rules and work hard and pay taxes to a system when that system is totally corrupt and fraudulent and just hands out money to a bunch of fraudsters who are pretending to offer child care services, but it's a total front for a slush money, money laundering campaign finance fraud run by the Democrats.
Why?
Why should we pay into that system?
And, you know, the answer is, I mean, the real answer is government's always been a criminal.
This is nothing new.
It's not even very big compared to the fraud of currency printing.
But the anger, you know, this has been a tipping point in the minds of many people.
The anger is raw.
And people are voicing out and saying they're done.
They're going to become tax protesters.
They're not going to pay their federal taxes, maybe even state taxes.
I'm not sure.
But they're done.
People are fed up with the system.
So I want to step back with a meta-analysis of what's happening here and offer a better solution than just becoming a tax protester.
There are many better ways to handle this from a finance point of view.
I'll get into those here.
But let's step back and notice that these are the kinds of things you see as an empire collapses.
You see the eroding trust factor.
The public doesn't trust the government any longer.
They don't trust the CDC or the FDA.
That's for sure.
They don't trust the IRS.
Maybe they never did, but they trust it even less now.
They don't trust the Trump administration.
They didn't trust the Biden administration.
They don't trust anything in government.
Government's a giant criminal racket, a total fraud, extracting wealth from the people via coercion, etc.
That idea is becoming more recognized by mainstream people.
And you have to imagine that some of this is stemming from the fact that people are increasingly impoverished.
People are losing everything, as Gerald Salenti says.
When they lose everything, they lose it.
And that's exactly what we're witnessing.
They're losing everything.
They can't get jobs like they used to.
They don't pay as well relative to inflation.
Inflation continues to worsen and even accelerate.
Yeah, fuel is low right now.
Gasoline prices are way down.
And that is to Trump's credit in terms of policies.
But food prices are way up.
Insurance prices are sky high.
I even heard that NVIDIA is about to announce massive price increases on all of its GPUs.
Starting in February, they will go up over 200%, or I should say over 100% increase in price.
Like a $2,000 GPU will be up to $5,000.
I mean, what?
And they say that's because of rising prices of the materials that they need to use to manufacture their products.
Anyway, the American people are becoming impoverished by the fact that inflation is real.
It's happening and thus the purchasing power of their hard-earned dollars is collapsing.
And that's because of currency printing.
That's because of the policies of government spending and government debt that nobody in Washington will dare touch because it's all a massive money laundering fraud racket.
Government is a racket.
Taxation is theft.
And people like myself have been saying this for 25 years.
And it used to sound kind of fringe to people.
What do you mean?
No, government loves us.
Taxation is necessary to pay for schools and bullshit like that.
And now they realize, oh, it's all a total fraud.
The schools that are being funded by government are fake.
There are no children in those schools.
It's a fake money laundering front.
At least in this case, in the Somali community.
And then even the schools that have children, most of them, the public universities and K through 12 education system, they're just indoctrination centers.
They're just churning out woke idiots, woke-tard idiots.
They're not actually producing an education.
They're not preparing young Americans for the future with job skills or AI skills or math or science or anything.
It's just indoctrination and nonsense.
And that's why students in California, for example, they get accepted into the university at UC San Diego.
And then UC San Diego finds out that one eighth of the incoming freshmen can't read at a seventh grade level, but they all got A's.
In high school, in high school English, they got A minus on average, but they can't even read.
So the education system is a wreck.
Government money, all the government spending doesn't work.
It doesn't produce what it claims to produce.
NGOs are mostly a total fraud.
The money that's donated out there for things like climate programs, it's all a fraud.
The solar companies that received hundreds of millions of dollars from the Obama administration, for example, yeah, they all went bankrupt because they never made anything.
The CEOs and top people just took the hundreds of millions of dollars and they donated a portion of it back to the Democrats.
And that's how it works.
It's all money laundering.
So this is what people are beginning to realize.
The system is a con.
And the only way for you to get ahead in this system is to distance yourself from that system.
So let me talk about two solutions.
Number one, tax protesting is not, I mean, that's a concept that is fraught with potential problems.
If you've decided that you don't want to pay federal taxes, then you need to talk to experts who know about that.
Don't just wing it on your own.
Don't just write a letter to the IRS.
I'm done.
You know, go pound sand.
They're going to seize your assets.
They're going to seize your house.
They're going to seize your bank account because they rule by coercion.
It's financial terrorism.
That's how they rule.
They're going to take everything you own.
So don't just leap into the fire on this and think that you're going to be okay.
And I know that some people will say, well, they can't come after all of us.
Yeah, you're right.
They can't.
But they can come after some of you and they'll come after you hard.
They'll throw you in prison and they'll take everything you've ever earned.
So there's actually a better way.
There's a better way that's perfectly legal that's recognized by the IRS.
And it's called the Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, the UNA.
And it's codified under California law.
It's a vehicle that's used by all the California lawmakers and the people in the know and the wealthy elite.
They wrote this law for themselves, but it's available to all Americans everywhere across the country.
It's not available to Canadians, unfortunately, or non-Americans.
But just citizens of the United States of America can take advantage of this.
I learned about this over the last couple of years because of my co-host, Todd Pittner.
And he has a partner, Dennis Gray.
He and his partner have been teaching people about these vehicles and offering these packages that save people so much money on taxation, allowing you to keep more of what you earn.
And it's all perfectly legal and recognized by the IRS.
And the short version is that the UNA or unincorporated nonprofit association, you set that up.
Typically, you would name it as a foundation of some kind.
And then you can donate assets to that foundation, such as your home or your gold stash, if you have a gold stash, or your income or a significant portion of your income.
And then you write off that donation on your own taxes.
And the UNA is not taxed by the federal government.
In fact, it's issued a tax-exempt tax ID number by the IRS that has the letter E in it, which means exempt.
And that is called a 575E.
And my co-host, Todd Pittner, has a website set up for that where you can watch a video.
You can learn about it there.
You can also get a consultation with Todd directly for $150, which is also usable toward the vehicle if you decide to move forward with it.
So, you know, it's nothing compared to the savings.
But that's at my575E.com, my575E, or my575E.com.
And I highly recommend that any of you who are fed up with paying too much taxes into a corrupt system that's wasting your money.
And if you want a legal way to keep more of what you earn, and you don't want to just go full-fledged tax protesting, you know, you don't want to be arrested by the IRS.
You don't want to go to prison.
You don't want to be prosecuted as a tax protester.
This way, you still file.
You still file.
You're still compliant with the IRS.
And the IRS recognizes that the Unincorporated Nonprofit Association does not have a federal tax burden on its own earnings, which means because you don't own it, by the way, you control it.
You are the controlling party, but you don't own it.
It's not in your name.
It's not tied to your social security number.
So if you have crypto, you can donate it to the UNA.
If you have gold and silver, donate it to the UNA.
And then if that UNA ever sells the gold or silver, the profits stay in the association.
And those profits don't show up on your income on your personal W-2 or whatever income tax statement that you might typically file at the end of the year.
In other words, that income didn't happen to you.
That income happened inside the UNA, which is tax exempt.
Now, as a disclaimer, I'm not a tax attorney.
I'm not an accountant.
And I will tell you that almost all tax attorneys and almost all accountants have never heard of this.
They haven't studied it.
They don't know how it works.
And if you talk to them about this, they will say, well, I don't know, that sounds sketchy or something.
But I had, I hired an attorney in California to look at this.
This was like two years ago.
This was when I was setting up my church and I was trying to determine whether my church should have a UNA tied to it.
And so I hired an attorney to look at this and they confirmed to me that, yeah, this is under California law and here it is.
They found the law, sent it to me.
I read it.
It's all right there.
And then my co-host, Todd Pittner, he has helped hundreds of people set these up.
And the success has been extraordinary.
Hundreds of people have, they've acquired the federal tax ID with the E exemption number.
They have set up bank accounts with mainstream banks, all the big banks, or maybe not all of them, but lots of them.
They have donated homes.
They've donated cash.
They've donated gold, silver, crypto, real estate.
One guy ran an entire business out of the UNA.
And he was a rental company, rented, I think he rented ATVs.
And then his ATV company got sued by somebody.
There was an injury that somebody was doing something crazy and stupid with the ATVs, not using them in a way that was allowed, got injured, sued, tried to shut the whole business down, and tried to go after the guy.
But it turns out that the ATVs were in the UNA.
So that served as a firewall.
The lawsuit stopped at just the value of the ATVs.
So this owner was able to just basically forfeit the ATVs, like $100,000 and something, and not have to deal with a multi-million dollar personal liability lawsuit.
The UNA saved him from potentially a multi-million dollar judgment.
And these are just some of the many examples.
There are cases where elderly people have had, they've needed medical services.
And then Medicare would come after their home because they found out, well, the home is in their name and the home has value.
And Medicare is going to seize your home to pay for the medical bills of the procedures.
Wow.
Did you know that?
You know, that's possible?
But if your home is donated to your UNA first, then you don't own it.
You just live there.
Yeah, you live there.
You occupy that home, but you are not the owner and it is not your asset.
You don't own it.
And so there are many, many aspects of this that are critical to understand, including estate planning.
Because when a person passes away, normally it goes through the state law courts and there's taxation if the value is above a certain amount, taxation on the assets, inheritance taxes for typically the children who are inheriting.
But if it's all in the UNA, there are no such tax consequences at all.
The UNA control is simply transferred to the children or whoever, you know, whoever's designated.
And then those people take over control of the UNA and the assets that it holds, which could be a home, could be gold, could be land, could be whatever.
So a UNA is one answer and you should learn about it.
Again, my575E.com.
And I do want to tell you, I don't earn anything on, this is not my business, okay?
This is not what I do.
I learned about this from my co-host, Todd.
And I've heard these stories more and more over the last two years.
At first, I was very skeptical.
That's why I hired an attorney to look into this.
And I was really skeptical about this.
And then, as Todd began to form up a private group online of all the experts and all the people who are opening bank accounts and conducting transactions inside the UNAs, they're buying and selling real estate.
They're earning profits and keeping the profits in the UNA.
Some of them are also making a lot of donations because you now have all this extra money that you otherwise would have paid to the IRS.
And some people are donating up to 60% of their W-2 income into the UNA and writing that off as a massive deduction on their income, which drops them into a lower income tax bracket.
So they go from a, I don't know, like a 30% bracket to a 20% bracket or whatever it is.
So they pay a lot less in taxes.
And then most of their income goes into the UNA where they get to choose how to use it to pursue their mission.
Maybe they want to help with animal shelters.
Maybe they want to help children in a real sense, like with real donations to real schools, not the fake Somali schools in Minnesota.
You know, this gives you the opportunity to do with your money what you want to do instead of sending it off to Washington, D.C. and having the government there, having them, you know, waste it through campaign finance, money laundering, fraud, and all kinds of nonsense like that.
So it's worth looking into this.
I've got a little bit more discussion on the other side, but it's definitely worth looking into this.
Go to my575E.com.
And if it asks you anywhere where you heard about it, just put in, you know, Health Ranger or whatever so that Todd knows you heard it from my podcast because he gives VIP, you know, white glove service basically to people who listen to my podcast, whereas just some random person that comes in without knowing where they came from, you know, may not get the same level of respect, let's say, or trust.
And just pony up the 150 to get a consultation with Todd so he can explain everything to you.
And yeah, your own accountant is going to resist this.
Your own lawyer is probably going to resist it.
They're going to say, the first thing they're going to say is, this can't be real.
It's too good to be true.
It's too good to be true.
And yeah, that was my impression at first, too.
It's like, this can't be.
How is this allowed?
And then you come to realize when you start digging into it that California lawmakers set this up for themselves.
They had to do something that was also legal for them.
So they created a law for themselves and then they made sure that nobody heard about it.
And they made sure that nobody talks about it.
And in fact, you're only going to hear it probably from me or from Todd or on our show, Decentralized TV.
That's the only place people have heard about it.
But the law exists and it can be verified.
And again, hundreds of people have gone through this process and they are now saving a tremendous amount of money.
And I would imagine, I mean, I guess it's a good thing that I don't have the reach of someone like Joe Rogan because if I did and if I were talking about this, they would shut it down.
You know, if Rogan started advocating this, they would say, oh, no, no, no.
Too many people are finding out about this.
We got to shut it down.
But because I'm heavily censored and blacklisted and I can't even post a video on YouTube without being totally banned and deplatformed, very few people will ever hear about this.
So consider yourself, you know, in touch with some pretty cool knowledge here.
So getting back to the tax protesting issue.
Also, I've interviewed a man named Payman, and his organization has a different approach, which is to remove yourself from the W-2 contract.
That is, he helps people, I think, send a letter to the IRS that says, I'm not going to file, and here's why, and this is a correction.
I'm going to correct the previous tax filings, and I want to refund on the previous stuff because I wasn't obligated to pay any of that.
I think that's how it works.
I have not gone through that myself.
It's a little more of an aggressive kind of move.
Some people think that's great.
If you're going to pursue that approach, do your research just like anything else.
But I would say the more conservative approach is to use the my575E.com because that is a recognized vehicle and you're actually donating to a nonprofit association that you create, but you don't own.
And so that takes those assets out of your ownership.
All right.
So all of that, that's one solution.
The other solution to this total government con and the currency con, all of it, is to get out, get out of the debt currency.
Get out of the dollar.
Dollar is debt.
And instead, get into metals.
And I've been advocating for metals, gold and silver, for years.
And people who took my advice years ago, they've seen the value of their metals double, triple, or quadruple in some cases, especially silver recently, has nearly quadrupled for many people, depending on when they bought it, of course.
And it's clear to me that we are in a new world in terms of commodities and what gold and silver are going to be worth in the years ahead.
Silver, in my view, is still very low, even though it's in the 70s, you know, $70 plus per ounce.
And a year ago, it was only $30 or less than $30.
So, you know, it's skyrocketing.
I think it's going to double again.
It could very easily double in the next 12 months, but certainly within two years, I believe it will double again.
Why?
Well, I mean, I've done an entire podcast on that.
There's very strong industrial demand.
But there's also a large number of people who are realizing that the dollar is a con.
The central bank is a con.
The treasuries are a con.
The whole system is a fraud, a fraudulent scheme.
It's a Ponzi scheme rooted in debt.
The whole system will collapse.
And the only way to be insulated from that is to be out of that system.
A lot of people are choosing gold and silver.
I think that's the safest option.
Some people choose crypto.
I think that's more risky, more volatile, but some people are doing that.
If you do that, I strongly suggest that you use only privacy coins, you know, private crypto.
That would be Monero, Xano, Z-A-N-O, Firo.
There's a few others.
This isn't a podcast about privacy crypto, but think about the importance of keeping your assets private.
And then whatever crypto you have, donate it to your UNA so it's protected.
So if you are audited, let's say, and the government demands, like you must list all the assets that you own.
You don't have to list those assets because you no longer own them.
Donated them away to a nonprofit association that you do not own.
And thus, that's beyond the reach of government for confiscation purposes.
And you can still tell the truth and honestly say, I don't own crypto.
And you can still trade crypto in the UNA, by the way, on major crypto platforms.
Then I'm not even going to mention which ones here.
You'll have to find out from Todd.
But that's all doable.
Anyway, get out of dollar debt, get into gold and silver.
And now I will mention my sponsor, which is the battalion metals company that was co-founded by Tucker Carlson and Chris Olson and his group that I've worked with for six plus years, I think it is.
High integrity, very honest, trustworthy, competitive pricing, protecting your privacy.
Those guys believe the same things that we believe about honest money, about the value of gold and silver, about the need to decentralize and divest away from a failing currency and a failing government that's clearly headed for collapse.
Yeah, they get it.
Those guys were hanging out at the Ron Paul birthday party that I visited a few months ago.
I saw them there.
It's like, yep, they're Ron Paul people too.
So you can find them at metalswithmike.com, metalswithmike.com.
And I do earn some very tiny percentage on that.
It's ridiculously tiny.
It doesn't even really matter.
I'm just recommending them because that's who I know that you can trust.
And I have a long-standing relationship with those guys.
And I've interviewed Chris Olson many times.
And I recommend his company to everybody in my circle, whether it's family or friends or co-workers or anybody that's asking me, hey, where do I get gold and silver?
Like, well, that's easy.
Metalswithmike.com.
You're going to be treated right.
You're going to get a fair deal.
Well, a very competitive deal.
And there's no shenanigans involved in that.
And you could either take possession or you can have it vaulted.
And they have the best vaults that are off the banking system, insured by Lords of London, high security, guarded, not controlled by the federal government or the Federal Reserve or the banking system or anything like that.
It's an off-grid vault that, in my opinion, is the most likely kind of vault to protect your metals, to protect them from anything from theft or confiscation attempts or taxation or, you know, IRS confiscation or whatever else.
But you can vault your metals, but put them in a UNA so that you control it, but you don't own it.
That's critical.
Now, if you do these things, then the money printing fraud and currency counterfeiting fraud, it will still impact you, but it will hit you a lot less.
You may be able to financially survive the currency reset and the collapse of the U.S. Empire and the collapse of the dollar, which is coming.
People who don't take these steps, who don't know how to keep more of what they earn, who don't know how to use vehicles like UNAs, or who don't have physical gold and silver, etc., or who don't have decentralized privacy crypto in secret wallets, etc.
People who don't have that knowledge, they're going to be screwed.
They're going to lose everything because the dollar will go to zero.
Well, or close to zero.
Let's say it will plunge towards zero.
Let's put it that way.
That's pretty obvious.
And most people are going to lose everything or the vast majority of their assets.
They're going to lose the value of their dollars in the bank because there will be a currency reset.
When that happens, people will lose 95% or more of the purchasing power.
This is just history repeating itself.
It's so obvious that this is going to happen.
So don't be surprised when these kinds of things occur.
It's going to be widespread.
All right.
So those are a couple of things that you can do.
But again, I just want to offer a disclaimer.
I am not a tax attorney.
I'm not an accountant.
I'm not your accountant.
And I'm not your attorney.
And I will tell you right now that other mainstream accountants who mostly just work as proxies for the IRS, they will disagree with what I've said here.
And they will effectively urge you to stay in a system that is failing, a system that will destroy your assets, because that's all they know.
That's all they know.
And they will lose their assets too.
And if you try to argue with them about this, you know, they'll say, well, what you're talking about, that's, I've never heard of that before.
Yeah.
Right.
And they probably don't know about cancer cures either.
They don't know that the jabs are dangerous.
There's a lot of things they don't know.
And so just the question is, where do you want to get your information?
You want to get your information from people who know things, like me and Todd and experts who have spent decades researching all this?
Or do you want to get your information from people who just don't know much and who will go down with the ship and lose everything like everybody else?
So, you know, honestly, that's the answer.
I mean, that's what you should know.
So thanks for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here.
Be well.
Be safe.
Do your research.
Check out Todd's information at my575e.com.
Sign up, you know, use the $150 consultation and take advantage of that.
So thank you for listening.
Take care.
Just over the years, the war in Syria and like U.S. intervention, it was clear for a long time that the U.S. was on the side of Al-Qaeda.
That's something that Jake Sullivan told.
But the fact that this war ended with the literal leader of Al-Qaeda taking over, he's claimed that he cut ties with Al-Qaeda and that he's changed.
And then being welcomed in the Oval Office in the White House.
And Trump, like the way he was fraying cologne on him.
And he says, oh, he's great.
He's had a strong past.
You know, he's a good-looking guy.
Like, the way it's just, man, does he not realize what kind of company he's keeping here?
Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
I'm Mike Adams.
And as we are into now 2026, straight ahead, is it going to be the year of war or the year of peace?
And of course, here at Brighteon, we are always praying for peace.
And yet we are faced with the reality that our leaders and other leaders around the world, especially European leaders, in Europe, they're praying for war.
I mean, clearly, I mean, the leaders, not the people, but the leaders.
And I couldn't think of a better guest to have on today than the news editor of anti-war.com, Dave DeCamp, who is an extraordinary voice for peace and reason.
And he's got a lot to share with us here today.
It's the first time he's been on the show.
Hopefully not the last because I really appreciate his work.
Welcome, Dave DeCamp, here.
It's an honor to have you on today.
Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
I really appreciate it.
Well, thank you for taking the time.
You're a busy man.
You do a lot of work.
But start with that big question about 2026.
Do you think it's going to be a year of escalating conflicts or will there be some resolution of the current conflicts or maybe a combination?
Unfortunately, right now, all signs point to escalation, especially with everything the U.S. is involved in.
I mean, at the end of the year here, we've seen new U.S. missile strikes in Nigeria now.
And there's this report, and Trump claims that the CIA launched a drone strike inside Venezuela.
And now we have the Russia-Ukraine negotiations, but the things that Ukraine is asking for and the things that the U.S. is apparently willing to give them, like a NATO-style security guarantee, and apparently they're talking about deploying troops to Ukraine.
I mean, Russia is never going to go for these things.
So, unfortunately, that war seems like it's going to continue.
And then it looks like we're in store for more escalation in the Middle East, another potential war with Iran.
So, unfortunately, I wish I had a better answer, but to me, everything just looks like it's going to really heat up.
Well, you are a keen observer of these issues, and I think your assessment is correct.
But this is very disturbing to a lot of the Trump-supporting base in America because Trump campaigned on peace.
In fact, at one point during his campaigning, he said that he would end the Russia-Ukraine conflict in one day.
That was 300-plus days ago, I think, or something in that neighborhood.
So, what do you make of this?
And there seems to be almost a civil war inside the conservative movement about pro-war versus anti-war.
Yeah, it's an issue that's not going away either.
I mean, it seems like the big split that we see among kind of media personalities, it's really between the Israel first, you know, people who put Israel essentially over the U.S. against people who are starting to become critical of Israel.
I mean, you see people like with Tucker Carlson.
I mean, even Steve Bannon now has been critical of Israel.
He was always very pro-Israel.
And the fact is that they're dealing kind of with the reality.
I know in Tucker's case, it seems like he has, you know, he was awakened to the evil that Israel is committing, especially in Gaza.
So, that's an issue, you know, the conservative movement in the U.S., the Republican Party, is really going to have to deal with.
Because if you look at the polls, it's really a generational split.
I forget the numbers, but there was a poll recently, like the majority of Republican voters under 40 don't want anything to do with Israel at this point.
And then the Democrats are like 80% against continued support for Israel, correct?
Or something in that neighborhood?
Yeah, yeah.
On the Democrat side, the numbers are way up there.
And, you know, we saw Kamala Harris didn't face that reality when she attempted to run for president.
You know, she just doubled down on being pro-Israel.
And I think that was a big part of her defeat, obviously, other reasons.
So this is something, yeah.
And will the Democrats face this as well?
I think we kind of see the narrative on that side.
You know, they kind of focus all their criticism on Netanyahu and his government rather than kind of the whole U.S.-Israel relationship.
But, you know, this is one thing that is concerning because, you know, B.B. Netanyahu, he pays very close attention to politics in the U.S., he's very involved.
He reads American media every day.
You know, he probably sees this Trump administration as his last chance to get his big war, you know, with Iran to continue expanding in the region.
And, you know, and we talk about these divisions on the right.
Unfortunately, with Trump, I mean, the display that he put on yesterday with Netanyahu shows that, you know, he's not changing his position on Israel.
So it's going to be a long time before this translates into like change at the policy level, you know, both in Congress and in the administration.
I do think, though, this election cycle, we're starting to see already some people trying to run for office as Republicans and are running on an anti-aid to Israel platform, which is significant.
That's what Netanyahu sees all these developments.
And, you know, I think it might make him try to move quicker on some of his designs.
Well, that brings up an interesting question for you.
How much of a liability in the midterms, less than a year away now, how much of a liability will Trump's loyalty to Netanyahu and Israel's ongoing war machine, how much of a liability will that be to GOP candidates in the midterms, in your opinion?
I mean, I think it's going to be a factor.
You know, I think we're probably going to see the GOP get beat up pretty bad in these midterms, which, you know, generally happens when the ruling party, you know, they have the election.
They usually don't do too well because then they get kind of blamed for everybody's, you know, the economic conditions and everything.
But there's something else happening here.
Like, you know, because I know a lot of people who voted for Trump who weren't really like MAGA people or Trump people, but when faced with the two candidates, Trump did seem like the more reasonable one and the one less likely to get us involved in more conflicts and everything.
But we've seen the opposite with him.
I mean, he's really escalating things everywhere.
And so I think a lot of people that would vote Republican or did vote Republican when they voted for Trump are either going to stay home.
And then, of course, you'll have other people vote Democrat.
So I think it's going to be, you know, it's tough to rank it like on the list of issues, but I think it's up there.
I mean, especially just what people have seen over the past two years in Gaza, you know, the atrocities committed for all the world to see.
And to just see Trump, I mean, he's hosted Netanyahu five times this year.
And that's extraordinary.
Yeah.
And again, yesterday, if you watched that press conference, just heaping praise on him, he said, oh, that Israel's helping the people of Gaza.
I mean, you see that stuff.
It's just really sad.
I want America to do well, and I want our president, whoever he or she is, to succeed.
But I can't help but notice that Trump loves to surround himself with some of the worst criminals against humanity.
And he brings like the more people you've slaughtered, the closer you get to the Oval Office.
You know, it's crazy to me.
This is, but those are my opinions, obviously.
But what do you make of it?
I mean, can't Trump see that the American people don't want him to cozy up with people like Bill Gates or Andrew Burla from Pfizer or Netanyahu at the top of that list?
Why can't he see that?
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, he also hosted Ahmed Al-Shara at the Oval Office, who formerly known as Mohammed Abu Al-Jalani, which was his al-Qaeda name because he was literally the founder of Al-Qaeda in Syria.
He fought against the U.S. in Iraq.
I mean, this is, and he, you know, just over the years, the war in Syria and like U.S. intervention, it was clear for a long time that the U.S. was on the side of Al-Qaeda.
That's something that Jake Sullivan told Hillary Clinton back in an email, I think, in 2012 that was released by WikiLeaks.
But the fact that this war ended with the literal leader of Al-Qaeda taking over, he's claimed that he cut ties with Al-Qaeda and that he's changed, and then being welcomed in the Oval Office in the White House.
I mean, it's really kind of surreal to see.
And Trump, like the way he, he was spraying cologne on him, you know, he wrote him a nice, like a handwritten note.
And he says, oh, he's great.
He's had a strong past.
He's a good-looking guy.
It's just, man.
So I don't know what it is, you know, about those other people you mentioned too.
Like, does he not realize what kind of company he's keeping here?
Yeah, and he calls Peter Schiff a jerk for pointing out that there's inflation.
It's like, no, you should listen to Peter Schiff on economic policy.
And that's just my opinion on economics, et cetera.
But this is disturbing for a lot of people to watch.
And I think you're correct to point out that the GOP could be in trouble in the midterms.
But that leads me to my next question, which is about Iran.
So Trump is now talking tough about striking Iran again, even though six months ago he told us that we completely destroyed Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities by bombing Fordot facility, et cetera, with those, you know, the cluster, the super bombs, whatever they were called.
So were we lied to then?
Or how does Iran now suddenly pose a new nuclear threat in just six months?
Yeah, well, we were lied to about the reason for that war.
It wasn't about their nuclear program.
Israel's goal was to either collapse the regime or basically take out their ability to hit Israel, to pose any kind of threat to Israel.
And that war ended in 12 days because Iran's missiles were able to make it through and strike Israel in a way that we've never really seen Israel get hit before.
And Trump ended it by bombing the nuclear facilities.
But they're always going to find another reason, another excuse to go to war here.
And now the new one is, and what Trump said yesterday is, oh, yeah, if they continue their missile program, then we're going to hit, you know, we're going to hit them.
We're going to knock the hell out of them.
And that's never been the pretext for a potential U.S. war with Iran.
You know, the idea that Iran's going to get rid of their missiles is just absurd.
I mean, it's their only way to defend or deter Israel and the U.S.
And if there is another war, you know, there's a, you know, we could see some real American casualties because if you remember during that 12-day war, it started with Israel's big attack, which happened while the U.S. and Iran were supposed to be holding nuclear negotiations.
But Israel launched this major attack.
It involved airstrikes, sabotage, you know, covert attacks on the ground.
The Mossad has a lot of assets in Iran and really heavy airstrikes throughout the whole 12 days and they killed over a thousand Iranians.
And then the U.S. came in and bombed the nuclear facilities.
And then Iran responded to that by telling the U.S. that they were going to fire missiles at their base in Qatar.
So the U.S. was able to get troops out of there and respond with Patriot missiles and basically intercept all of them.
It looks like one radar was destroyed or something.
Well, if Iran doesn't, you know, if there's another war, there's a very good chance Iran's not going to do that, that they're going to try to really hit American bases.
And we could really see some Americans get hurt or killed.
And then, you know, the attitude in DC now is if any American gets hurt or killed in the Middle East, the answer isn't what Reagan did back in the 1980s when hundreds of U.S. Marines were killed in Beirut.
He got them out of there.
He pulled them out.
The answer is, oh, we got to escalate.
It's always like, okay, now we're going to increase our, you know, send more troops and drop more bombs.
Yeah.
Well, I'm sorry to interrupt.
I share your concern.
And from my point of view, it seems like Israel or Netanyahu is managing to wrangle the U.S. into another conflict in the Middle East to defeat another enemy of Israel, in this case, Iran, which is, I think, number seven on that famous list of seven.
I believe it is.
But I want to bring people's attention to this map of the Arabian Sea here.
And David, love your commentary.
Let me just set it up here.
But folks, notice the geography because this determines so many things.
The narrow point at the southern portion of Iran there, that's the Strait of Hormuz, through which a significant portion of the world's energy supply, including LNG, flows.
And Iran's missiles that you were just talking about, Dave, Iran's missiles are developing new capabilities in terms of long-range strike capability of U.S. naval vessels in the Arabian Sea, potentially, right?
So we're not talking about just threatening Israel, but also threatening U.S. naval power and projection of power through this area, which affects ultimately the Suez Canal through the Red Sea as well.
So can you give us your interpretation of why all that matters?
Yeah, well, one of the things that Iran threatened to do during the war, which they didn't end up doing, was closing the Strait of Hormuz, which would really impact kind of the global energy market.
I mean, in a really big way.
But if you look at that map, you see all those Gulf countries, the Gulf Arab countries, where, you know, Qatar is right there, Bahrain, which is the home of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet.
There's also U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia.
You know, these are all U.S. bases and there's U.S. bases in Iraq still and Syria.
And these are all potential targets.
I mean, there's at least, you know, 10,000 American troops in range of these missiles.
And, you know, the U.S. has good air defenses, but they can't intercept every missile as we saw during the 12-day war.
And so, you know, there's a real risk here.
And of course, U.S. naval assets in the region, as he said as well, could be hit.
So in your assessment, what kind of attack on Iran is Trump likely to pursue?
Will it be another wave of a few stealth bombers and then just a declaration of success?
Because that worked last summer.
Yeah, I mean, it's tough to say, you know, because he's talking about their missiles now.
He also said if they do anything to rebuild their nuclear program, then we're going to take them out immediately.
You know, I would guess we would probably see it start with Israel taking the lead.
But the thing that's important for people to understand is, you know, throughout the whole 12 days, the U.S. was involved in the war directly by intercepting missiles.
You know, that is direct military involvement and also refueling Israeli jets and probably providing some sort of intelligence.
So I would guess it would kind of start something like that, like, you know, Israeli jets doing most of the bombing, and maybe they would find some targets that they would want the U.S. to hit eventually.
But Trump would try to kind of keep like a degree of separation maybe from it.
You know, I don't know.
Even though Trump is, you know, really seems to be willing to go along with this, I do still think he wouldn't want like a long drawn out war.
Right.
And, you know, from Iran's perspective, that's the thing here is that like Trump seems to think, oh, we could hit Iran really hard and they're not really going to do anything about it.
So we could go in and out.
So Iran's going to have to kind of dispel, you know, from their perspective, they're going to want to dispel that notion that they can launch these wars every six months, every year, or whatever.
Right.
So that's, you know, the real risk.
Well, and my perception, and I'd love your commentary on this, is that Israel can't survive another 12 days of Iranian missiles, especially those missiles have been restored and in some cases upgraded.
I've seen releases of enhanced missile payload capacities as well as range.
And the other thing is, I'm explaining this just for our audience.
I know you know this, Dave, but when Israel is striking Iran from its aircraft, those on board missiles launched from the aircraft are much smaller in terms of payload capabilities or warhead capabilities compared to Iran's land based missiles that are carrying much more aggressive payloads.
And clearly have, you know, hypersonic reentry capabilities with evasive maneuvers that are largely.
nullifying the so-called Iron Dome.
We saw that already.
So isn't Israel just begging to be damaged even worse if they initiate something again?
Yeah, and I think they're hoping that, I mean, I don't know if they would want to get hit, but I think they're banking on U.S. support and that if they do start to get hit hard like that, then they believe that the U.S. would directly intervene.
Because I mean, if the U.S., you know, really, I mean, did some kind of like carpet bombing or something in Iran, they could do some serious damage, you know, using the heavy B-2 bombers that Israel doesn't have.
So I think that's probably part of their, not part of their, I think their whole idea here is to get the U.S. to do like most of the bombing here in Iran.
I see.
But Iran, it's a vast, you know, geographically vast nation, right?
With dispersed missile launchers, lots and lots of decoys, probably tens of thousands of decoy launchers, mountainous terrain around three sides of the country, I believe.
I mean, it seems like you can bomb it till the cows come home and it's not going to stop them.
That's my perception.
But you know more.
What do you say?
Yeah, I mean, I agree with that.
You know, the thing is, is that we don't know how many missiles Iran has.
Because that was kind of the question as the 12-day war was happening.
You know, the question was who's going to run out of missiles or interceptors first?
Nobody really knew.
But, you know, we saw an example of what you're talking about when the U.S. was bombing Yemen earlier this year, starting in March.
Trump started this bombing campaign to protect Israel.
They claimed that it was to protect U.S. ships, but the Houthis weren't attacking U.S. ships at the time.
They started bombing them because they said they were going to start enforcing a blockade on Israeli ships again because they were violating the Gaza ceasefire deal.
But anyway, the U.S. bombed them very heavily for about a month and a half, killed over 250 civilians.
I remember that.
And they didn't stop.
And they rolled their missiles right back out and kept going.
But even during the bombing campaign, they were firing missiles at Israel.
They were firing missiles and drones at U.S. warships in the Red Sea.
And that's Yemen.
That's the Houthis.
Iran is a much more powerful force.
So, yeah, I think you're right.
And again, I really don't know.
Maybe there is more information about this than I know, like the number of Iran's missiles.
And I do believe that they have more of the shorter range ones that could hit U.S. bases right across the Gulf than they have the longer range ones that they need for Israel.
So I think they could really do some damage to U.S. bases.
Do you see that?
And now Iran.
I'm sorry.
I was just going to say, you know, everything Iran has done has shown that they don't want a direct war with the U.S. because like last time, you know, there was the risk that they would respond to an Israeli attack that's supported by the U.S. by also attacking U.S. bases, but we didn't see that last time.
Maybe we would see that the next time.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I think there was an organized de-escalation between Iran and the U.S. at that time, probably back-channeled is my guess, right?
Do you think there's a risk of Trump deciding to put boots on the ground with an attempted invasion of Iran?
I know it sounds insane, but we live in insane times.
So what do you think?
I really don't think so.
Because as you mentioned, I mean, Iran is a huge country and they would need to really build up a force.
I mean, they would need hundreds of thousands of troops, I would think.
And so I don't really think that that's on the table.
And I don't think that's what Israel even wants.
You know, what they want to see is kind of regime collapse.
They don't care so much about regime change.
They just want to destroy, like break up the country.
So it could be another Syria or Lebanon where they could bomb them without any, you know, facing any repercussions.
You know, the regime change wars that Americans view as disasters, like Libya, Iraq, Syria, Israel views them as a success because they took out, you know, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, these Arab leaders who were hostile to Israel's goals and, you know, commanded a country.
But now they're broken up and very weak.
So that's a success.
So I think Israel's hoping that they could do all this from the air.
Yeah, I think your assessment is correct.
That's what they hope.
And I think history shows us that that's not very successful to achieve.
I mean, doesn't it tend to just harden the domestic support for the current leaders?
Those kinds of campaigns?
That's what we saw with the last war.
Yeah.
But, and, you know, I mentioned Libya.
Libya was a different situation because he had all these kind of insurgents on the ground.
You know, we don't really have that in Iran.
So once they took out Qaddafi, then, you know, all hell broke loose.
So yeah, it is kind of a different situation in Iran.
You know, and another thing always to keep in mind here is that Iran, sorry, not Iran.
Israel has nuclear weapons.
Correct.
Right.
And, you know, we've seen there was apparently it was during the war back in, I think, 73, maybe it was before that.
But Israel was looking for U.S. support and they essentially said, well, if you don't help us, we're going to use our nuclear weapons.
And then the U.S. said, okay, all right, we'll send you some stuff.
So that could be a threat here from Israel to the, like, if you don't help us, we're going to drop our nukes.
And that could be, you know, I wouldn't, at this point, what we've seen in Gaza, I would not put it past Israel to use a nuclear weapon.
Good point.
I mean, yeah, they've dropped more conventional explosives on Gaza than all the nuclear weapons ever dropped in war in history, which wasn't that many, but still, you know, if you add up the kilotons, right?
It's more than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined by far.
Multiples of it that's been dropped on Gaza.
Do you want to comment on that?
Yeah, I was just going to say, you know, and I wouldn't think that they would want to drop a nuclear weapon so close to them, you know, but Iran is a different story.
Good point.
You know.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, I want to ask you about anti-war.com, the website, and now the importance of your site and your message.
You know, in times of peace, it's easy for people to forget how important it is to stand for peace.
But since, well, especially I would say, what, February of 2022, Russia's special military operation, and then after October 7th of 2023 with Israel and Gaza, the voice of you and your colleagues at your site has become really, really, really critical.
Can you talk to our audience about the importance and the mission of antiwar.com and what you hope to achieve?
Yeah, well, I appreciate that.
And so antiwar.com, just a quick history of it.
It was founded back in 1995.
So it's been around for a long time by my boss who still works on it today, Eric Garris and his friend Justin Raimondo, who unfortunately we lost back in 2019, but he was our columnist and kind of the voice of the site.
And they were like lifelong libertarian political activists.
And, you know, at the end of the Cold War, they supported guys like Pat Buchanan, people on the right who wanted to, you know, end the empire after the Cold War, bring close, you know, who wanted to believed in the peace dividend and things like that.
So, but what antiwar.com has essentially become is a news source, you know, a source for people, whether they're, you know, anti-war activists who need information or just ordinary Americans who want to be educated, who want to be aware of what their government is doing.
You know, a lot of the stuff we cover gets zero attention from mainstream media, especially the bombing campaign in Somalia.
This is something that the U.S. has bombed Somalia at least 127 times this year.
And this is unprecedented.
This is a huge, this is the biggest year ever.
According to the official numbers that have been tracked, it's more than George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden bombed Somalia combined in all their time in office.
And it gets literally zero coverage.
A lot of times, most of the time, it is just me writing it up.
And I'm not working with much information, just what U.S. Africa Command says in a press release and what I can find in Somali media.
So, you know, it's something I think Americans need to be kind of need to be aware of this, you know, what their government's doing overseas, because it's very easy to be fooled into supporting something like the war in Ukraine.
You know, if you weren't paying attention to what was happening in Ukraine from 2014 and the years following, you know, I see how people kind of fell for the propaganda there that, oh, the U.S. is helping Ukraine when it was doing the furthest thing from that.
So I think it's good for people to just be aware.
And then when it comes to activism and, you know, it's good to be kind of armed with this knowledge.
If you know Dan McAdams, who works with Ron Paul, I think too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think I've met him.
Yeah, he's a, he's a co-host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report, but he worked for Ron Paul when he was in Congress.
And I think it was him who said this, but I know he used to print out anti-war.com articles and give them to Ron Paul.
It was kind of like his morning briefing.
And he's kind of described us as like the intelligence wing of the anti-war movement.
Like we prepare your daily briefing so you can stay on top of things.
You know, I think we need real, like our country, especially the conservative movement, you know, like we were talking about before we started recording.
I consider myself on the right.
No, much of my audience is on the left.
We have a very diverse readership, which is really cool.
But like I feel very out of step with the mainstream conservative movement, though things are changing.
You know, like this whole idea that we need to be waging these wars overseas, that it's somehow necessary and it's something that we just have to be doing when it's really a detriment to our country and the well-being of Americans, especially, you know, when you get into the monetary aspect of it and everything and what it takes to maintain this world empire and the, you know, printing all the money and everything.
So yeah, that's what we're, that's the message we're trying to, you know, put, get out there.
Okay, that's that's great.
And I do want to ask you about those things, about what I believe we're in the last chapter of this empire.
And there's a lashing out phase happening, you know, to try to force enforcement around the world.
But I just want to mention again, the website is antiwar.com.
It's a great domain name, very easy to spell.
Everybody can spell it, anti-war.com.
And, you know, we talked about the political right quite a bit here.
I want to talk about the political left for a moment because one of the things that's really important to me, and I was at Ron Paul's birthday party a few months ago when he was in Houston and had a birthday party.
I was invited, myself and a thousand other people, and we had a blast.
And Ron Paul has always been principled in terms of opposing foreign wars.
And that principle is incredibly rare in politics today.
And speaking about the left, during the Bush years and the Gulf War, we saw the political left in America was vehemently anti-war.
And, you know, Bush was bad and evil because he was a warmonger, which also is true.
But they were all anti-war.
And then when it came to Ukraine under Biden, suddenly most of the left was pro-war.
We support this war.
So where are the principles in either the right or the left when it comes to advocating for peace?
Yeah, when it, you know, it's amazing to me how many people on the left kind of went all in on the Ukraine proxy war.
Yeah.
And, you know, in Congress, I mean, we saw like literally no dissent among the progressives in Congress who are, you know, more on the anti-war side than the mainstream Democrats.
They actually did, if I think it was in 2023 or maybe it was 2022, it was around the time that Mark Milley, who is the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time, said that there should be negotiations or they should start thinking about negotiations to end the war.
And some progressives in Congress wrote a letter to Biden saying maybe we should pursue diplomacy.
And the backlash they got was so bad that they withdrew the letter.
Wow.
Literally, the letter was saying, hey, maybe we should think about diplomacy instead of just continuing this war.
Incredible.
Yeah.
So that was on the you know, that in Congress.
And I know, you know, I know plenty of leftists who were opposed to it the whole time, who are, you know, readantiwar.com, people who, whose work we run as well.
But yeah, I mean, you don't find it at all in Congress, this principle.
It's very rare, as you mentioned, Ron Paul.
You know, today we have some people like that Thomas Massey, I think, would be the closest to Ron Paul that we currently have.
Yes.
And he maintains principled stances no matter who's in power.
And that's why Trump is so angry with him right now.
Yeah, they're trying desperately to get rid of him.
And I think his opponent is being funded by pro-Israel money, actually.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's why they're getting all this money to fund this campaign against him.
Correct.
But yeah, when it comes to the principle, and there are just regular people who are partisan-minded and kind of fall for this stuff and oppose wars.
When I could think of some people on the right critical of Obama's drone wars, but now that Trump is launching all these airstrikes and drone strikes, they either don't say anything about it or they just line up to support it.
Yeah.
Well, and we've all heard the phrase war is a racket, but I'm not sure that people understand the scale of it.
And I was really struck recently because I'm very active in the AI community.
I'm an AI developer, build language models and apps and so on.
And I was listening to an interview of a former top Google executive named Mo Godat.
And he's since retired from Google, but he writes books about AI and comments on what's happening.
And he said in an interview, I'm paraphrasing, he said, of all the scams you think you know about, there's nothing bigger than money printing for war.
And like, wow, this is coming from a former Google executive, and Google provides technology for war, you know.
But he gets it, he gets it.
It shocked me.
I mean, the message is spreading, is my point here.
Yeah, yeah, no, I think it is.
And we're like, I mean, Scott Horton, who's our editorial director and he's written a lot of great books.
His latest book called Provoked is like a textbook on the Ukraine, you know, the lead up to the Ukraine war and what caused it.
But he's on all the big, you know, we're kind of part of the conversation in a way that we haven't been before.
He was recently on with Tucker.
You know, and we're, we're, it does seem like our message is spreading and, you know, becoming more popular.
I do think people, you know, the natural instinct, I think, of any person is to be anti-war.
But the problem is that people are so inundated with propaganda in this country.
And, you know, I mean, what you just mentioned, like the biggest racket is money printing for war.
And like the military-industrial complex is so corrupt.
The way, and it's like, it's so obvious, and people have kind of accepted it.
And in some cases, I think we look for like more nefarious or other causes for war.
But if you look at the war in Ukraine, obviously there's other causes.
Who oversaw dumping all those weapons into Ukraine?
A guy named Lloyd Austin, who was the Secretary of Defense.
And where did he come from?
Oh, yeah, the defense industry.
He was on the board of Raytheon.
Exactly.
That was his last job.
And then he oversees this policy of dumping all these weapons in.
And Raytheon was one of the top, you know, I forget the exact numbers, but Raytheon and Lockheed Martin were like the biggest beneficiaries of that.
And they were getting contracts for weapons that they stopped making years ago because they're dumping so many into Ukraine.
And then, of course, they pay the think tanks, they pay the, you know, that write the papers to say why we need to be in war.
They pay the people who go on TV or the analysts and say why we need to continue the war.
And now that's breaking a bit because of independent media and the decentralization kind of of the internet.
But it's still like, you know, it's just, there's so much money to be made for continuing these wars.
So much that that is, you know, one of the biggest driving factors here.
Okay, so this is so fascinating to talk with you.
I really appreciate you taking the time to join me.
I have so many questions for you.
One of them is about the changing nature of warfare.
War has shifted dramatically in the post-World War II era from the, you know, the aircraft carrier battleship kind of naval projection of power model, you know, blue water navy.
That's the U.S. model.
That model is fading away.
We're seeing the rise of, for example, Iran's missile capabilities.
We're seeing Russia having Oreshnik missiles and also the Kinzal hypersonic missiles.
But there's an economic factor I'd like you to speak to.
Bring up my screen to my producers here.
Here's a story.
A private Chinese company rolls out a Mach 7 hypersonic missile at nearly 90% lower cost.
So China is able to mass produce or is on the verge of mass producing very advanced weapon systems that are more advanced than anything the U.S. has fielded because the U.S. still doesn't have a functioning hypersonic missile to my knowledge.
And yet China is able to do it at a fraction of the cost.
We've also seen Russia, for example, producing artillery shells at a fraction of the cost of the West.
So warfare has become an economic supply chain logistics question, I think, more than ever before.
And I'd love your comments about that topic.
Yeah, that's a good thing to bring up because as we mentioned, you know, with this military industrial complex that we have, you know, there's so much corruption.
Certain companies always get the contracts and they inflate the prices of everything.
Once in a while, you see these stories.
Like, I remember one, it was like a coffee cup in a F-16 or something.
Costs like $80,000.
Sounds right.
Yeah, our whole system is just, there's just this corruption like baked into it.
And we're seeing that, you know, that's interesting about China.
I hadn't seen that story, but we're really seeing that with drones.
Other countries can produce drones like at an incredibly cheap rate.
And I forget the numbers, but I remember when the U.S. Was bombing Yemen and the Houthis were firing these drones that were like so cheap for them to make, and we're using million dollar missiles to to, to intercept them um, and you know that that is gonna, it's really gonna change.
It is changing warfare as we see it in Russia and Ukraine.
You know, nearly a hundred Ukraine fires, like nearly a hundred drones into Russia every day.
Russia sends, you know, a few hundred into Ukraine um, and we're seeing, you know, the future of war, like just today and yesterday, China's doing these major military drills around Taiwan um, in response to the?
U.s selling, like 11, announcing this huge arms sale for Taiwan.
And you know what is the?
U.s kind of strategy for Taiwan, like the, the war strategy, if they're going to try to fight China there.
It's like aircraft carriers and warships.
Well, China's like they're they're, they've been developing a military, those missiles you just mentioned, like with the purpose of blowing those out of the water um, but the?
U.s kind of keeps making these big things like this.
And, of course, now they're saying you know, Hagseth has been big on this, like you know advancing the, the drones and everything um, but yeah, you look at the prices.
I saw someone what's his name?
From Anduril, um Polymer, Lucky someone was giving him a hard time on twitter about how much, about how his drones are so expensive compared to Chinese ones that are basically the same um so yeah, that's definitely a you know a factor in all of this.
Well yeah, and the thing is the?
U.s has to sell treasuries to be able to backstop the printing of more money to pay these inflated prices for weapons.
So the debt market is the thing propping up the war market, right?
Or the, the war industry?
And you're right, the?
U.s spends multiples uh, overspends on on very complicated weapon systems.
But isn't it true that what we saw in the Ukraine Russia conflict, that a lot of these overpriced weapons just don't work?
And we were promised, month after month, oh, this is going to be a game changer, we're going to send in the high Mars, we're going to send in the low Mars, we're going to send in the Abrams, we're you know, and every time it Russia just blew them all up with Iskanders or whatever.
It's like nothing.
Nothing was a game changer.
None of it worked.
Yeah, and even some of the things, like some of the air defenses, would be like successful for a little while, and then Russia would adapt and figure out how to get past them.
But yeah, I mean, the?
U.s has this very expensive and complicated and large military equipment that could really become obsolete uh, you know, not too far in the future.
I know one thing that the Pentagon has been planning for a war with China is they have developed this idea to create what they call a hellscape of drones in the Taiwan Strait.
The idea would basically be to cover the sky with drones, cover the sea with drones and send a bunch of underwater drones as well, which is kind of terrifying to think about.
And that's what, like a future world war could look like.
It could just be little drones like I I.
I think that's probably what it would end up being.
Uh, and they could.
I think you're right yeah, but let me bring in this context, you know uh, one of the reasons that the?
U.s is credited for, You know, Allied victory in World War II was because of the strong industrial base that existed in America at that time.
Domestic steel manufacturing, domestic auto manufacturing, conversions to wartime production.
Today, that country is China.
So, if this becomes drone warfare, we can't even touch China's output.
I mean, even our naval yards, I know you know this, but our naval yards are less than 1% of China's naval shipyard capacity right now in the U.S.
And our drone manufacturing potential is probably somewhere around 1% of China's.
And then, humanoid robots, same story.
China can mass produce.
We cannot mass produce.
We can produce small quantities at very high cost with very late delivery schedules.
Like we sell stuff to Taiwan that's not going to be delivered until 2032.
You know, it's a joke, some of it.
Yeah.
And I mean, I think that's something China with these drills, like as far as I'm aware, it's been, I haven't been following the China-Taiwan stuff as much as I used to lately, but I know the Chinese military, they've been putting out footage of them conducting simulated attacks on U.S. high Mars rocket systems because the U.S., we're selling a bunch of them to Taiwan now.
And they've been sending out their bombers with, you know, equipped with their missiles that are designed to take out aircraft carriers.
So they're sending that message: like, hey, look at this stuff we have here.
Yeah.
And, you know, I think the idea, and it's interesting, you know, you talk about kind of the left and the right.
The New York Times editorial board, they just put out this like op-ed video where they're saying that the U.S. needs to like double down and invest more in military to get ready for war with China and invest in more advanced equipment.
And, you know, all those things you mentioned, like if we really end up in some kind of war with China, they have so many advantages.
And, you know, how quickly could it turn nuclear as well?
So the fact that they're like preparing for this potential conflict on the face of it is, to me, crazy.
And you see the way that they justified, they say, oh, we have to prepare for war to prevent war.
But we've seen time and time again how that, you know, especially with Ukraine, how that just increases tensions and leads to war.
You look at right now at Taiwan, you have these huge Chinese drills happening, which they said were in direct response to the U.S. selling all these weapons to Taiwan, which they say they need to do for deterrence.
But now we have Chinese missiles being fired.
I don't know if they're actually firing them over Taiwan this time, but I know they did that in some drills recently after Nancy Pelosi went there in 2022.
So you just see the tensions just kind of escalating everywhere.
There's also the issue of the, I want to ask you about the critical mineral resources and China's dominant control over rare earths, which are necessary for industrial or military industry manufacturing.
And I believe January 1st, China is restricting silver exports among other rare earths, strongly restricted.
During the tariff wars that Trump was fighting with China earlier in 2025, we saw Ford temporarily shut down its production lines because of a lack of neodymium for the magnet motors completely dependent on China.
But the military production is dependent on a global supply of things like silver or tungsten or what have you.
And China dominates that area too.
And if China decides to cut us off, we can't make the weapons to fight China.
And China is not dumb enough to not realize that, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think this is something Trump has realized, You know, especially in recent months, it seems like he's been trying to be very conciliatory toward China and realizing that we're going to have to work with them in some way.
And, you know, we've seen kind of there's over the recent years a lot of delusional China hawks who say, you know, we need complete decoupling immediately.
We got to cut off China.
Like the American economy or our military industrial abilities can survive just cutting things off with China right away.
Yeah, that's a fantasy.
Yeah, yeah, it really is.
You know, for me, it seemed like this administration was going to tone things down with China.
I think in some ways they have, but then we just saw this huge arm sale to Taiwan.
It's like $11 billion that they approved in one day.
But see, my theory on that, and I used to live in Taiwan, by the way, and I speak conversational Mandarin.
And my understanding of that issue from because I had contacts in the aerospace industry in Taiwan when I lived there because I was teaching them English.
But my understanding is that Taiwan is forced to make these purchases and it's a handout to the U.S. military companies.
So it's a political favor.
Taiwan doesn't necessarily always want to buy these things because they know it's not worth it, but they're kind of forced to do this as a means of paying fealty to the United States leadership.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, I think it does.
Yeah, that's interesting to hear, especially with this current administration, because that was kind of the message when they came in.
I don't know if you know who Elbridge Colby is.
He's Trump's policy chief at the Pentagon.
Not familiar.
But he's a real China hawk.
His whole thing is that the U.S. should kind of scale back in the Middle East and in Ukraine and just focus all on Taiwan.
But he's been saying, you know, he was in the first administration and then in between administrations, you know, he published a book and he was really talked about this stuff a lot.
And his whole thing was Taiwan needs to step up, increase its military spending, or it's not going to be worth it.
We're not going to be able to defend them.
And so, and then we saw this Trump administration come in and Joe Biden started giving them military aid for the first time since they cut relations with Taiwan back in when they opened up with China.
And Trump apparently blocked one of those military aid packages because they're trying to get Taiwan to spend their own money.
So it seems to track with that.
And then we see, again, this huge series of arms sales that they just approved.
And I think it's clear that it is like them just trying to keep Trump happy.
Yeah, that's interesting.
And also, there's a very strong geopolitical movement within Taiwan, the people there who I'm in contact with constantly that more and more they feel like, and this is true across both of the major political parties there, that they are hurting in the world through their alliance with the West and that they need access to trading markets as BRICS currencies rise up and as China,
Russia, Iran, Brazil, India, et cetera, that that's the marketplace that Taiwan needs to tap into.
And the only way to do that is to reunify economically with China.
I'm hearing more and more of that.
I didn't hear that a decade ago, but I'm hearing it now a lot.
Yeah, that's interesting.
And maybe it's, you know, they see what happens to a U.S. ally, you know, like Ukraine.
Yeah, I know one thing that, you know, because you hear this, the China hawks talk about, oh, nobody in Taiwan wants reunification.
And I forget the numbers, but I know the polls always show that the people in Taiwan just want to maintain the status quo.
You know, they don't want to rock the boat either way, it seems like, Which people, Americans, don't seem to understand kind of the situation, like the nuances of the one China policy and everything.
Well, and the people of Taiwan don't want to be sacrificed in a proxy war like the people of Ukraine.
That's the key issue.
You know, the Ukraine lesson has taught Taiwanese what happens when you get wrangled into a war with a major world power.
You get destroyed, and the U.S. just sends your men off to die.
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
And Lindsey Graham says that they'll fight to the last one of you.
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
But, you know, just like Ukraine and Russia, I mean, the eastern half of Ukraine is Russia, you know, historically, culturally, Russia.
They speak Russian.
Taiwan and China, they're all Chinese.
They're exactly the same genetic, ethnic people with the same shared history.
They speak essentially the same language, you know, simplified Chinese versus traditional Chinese written a little differently with the characters.
But it's similar to the Russian situation.
It's the same culture.
They don't want to fight each other.
Yeah.
And I know like the Kuomintang, I mean, their official position is that they are China.
Not that they're Taiwan.
You know, you have the DPP now.
They seem to be pretty, you know, independence-minded.
But the other major political party is like, you know, very Chinese and proud to be Chinese.
Obviously, they have different ideas than the ruling power in Beijing.
But, you know, as you said, they're Chinese people.
Right.
Right.
Well, as always, you know, we are praying for a peaceful resolution.
And we're coming up on the hour with you here.
I'd like to get your final thoughts on the I want you to give us a big picture view of how war causes poverty and suffering globally.
And there would be a global peace dividend if we could get out of this war racket, which only benefits certain specific parties, some of which we've named here in this interview.
But talk to us about the global cost of war and the benefit of peace to everybody on this planet.
Yeah, well, I would say, you know, when it comes to Americans, the biggest thing that's really ripped us off over the past few decades is the fact that we don't have real money and inflation.
And that is necessary for propping up the war machine and continuing the empire, this ability to print unlimited money, bailouts and everything.
But this, you know, now we officially have a trillion dollar military budget.
It's been over, you know, the real cost has been well over a trillion for years, but now it's official 2026.
Trump gets his trillion-dollar budget.
And this is how we pay for all this stuff.
And then just in general, I mean, globally, you know, it's interesting what led me kind of into this path of working for anti-war.com.
I kind of chalk it up to, I grew up, I was raised Catholic.
I'm Catholic now.
For many years, I was away from the church, but that's another story.
But I kind of had this idea because we were grown up to kind of support charities and think about people overseas who were suffering and kind of trying to figure out how to alleviate suffering around the world.
I came to the conclusion that our government, the U.S. Empire, is responsible for a lot of this.
A lot of these problems are caused by U.S. intervention, sometimes trying to do the right thing, other times doing nefarious things in the name of doing good.
And, you know, when it comes to the actions that the U.S. government must take, you see people calling for humanitarian interventions a lot now, especially in Nigeria.
But there's just so many places where the U.S. can scale back, especially when it comes to support for Israel, where we can really improve things for people.
Yeah, I concur with what you just said there.
And I think historically the British Empire caused untold suffering all over the world and continues to do so even right now with Ukraine, Russia.
But the U.S. Empire has been playing that role very prominently since the end of World War II with assassinations, economic hitman scenarios, right?
The bombings.
And now tariff warfare is, you know, you can add that to the list because tariff warfare has real consequences.
You know, real families are impacted that are laid off in these factories in other countries that were planning on shipping textiles or whatever to the U.S. or even my own company.
We buy turmeric from India, you know, just ground turmeric root because it's a superfood.
And then boom, it's now 50% tariff.
So the turmeric farmers in India who have nothing to do with war, just I'm farming turmeric roots and now all of a sudden I can't pay my family enough money to eat.
You know, these are the these are the impacts and they're real.
Yeah.
No, go ahead.
Your final comments as we wrap this up or anything else you want to add?
Yeah, I was just going to add an economic sanctions.
You know, the U.S. government has this policy that if there's a government in power that they don't like, they'll try to destroy their economy.
And in many cases, they're successful.
And, you know, these are, you talk about this is, again, you could talk about this for a long time, but, you know, I think about when Joe Biden started imposing sanctions on Russia after the invasion, he would go on TV and say, we're turning the ruble into rubble, which of course didn't happen.
But the idea of the sanctions, they say, is to put pressure on the people so they rise up against the government.
So it is designed to hurt the people.
But imagine if you're in Russia and you see the leader of a foreign country bragging about trying to destroy your currency and destroy your economy.
Like you think that's going to make you side with them?
And you see it in Cuba.
I mean, Cuba's been under sanctions for what, 60 years now under an embargo.
Has it changed the government in Cuba?
No.
Has it hurt the people?
Yes.
That's about the only achievement that the sanctions and embargo have had.
And, you know, it's just, it's a thing that needs to be completely done away with this idea that we have the right to destroy another country's economy because we don't like their government.
Well, and adding on to what you just said, which is really important, that, you know, Trump thinks that he can order India to not buy oil from Russia or that he can order China to not buy energy from Russia.
You know, who made Trump God that he gets to determine who can buy and sell what to which other country that has nothing to do with us?
You know, and we hear from Lindsey Graham insane things.
Oh, we're not going to let India fund Russia's war machine.
Well, guess what?
The world's going to build an alternative settlement system, the BRICS system, partially gold-backed settlement of trade, not a currency, but a settlement system, to where the U.S. can't order them around anymore.
And isn't that the cost of abusing that privilege of sanctioning everybody?
The rest of the world just says, well, we'll build our own system.
Yeah.
And then they use this to justify more aggression against these countries.
Like you see this with Venezuela right now.
They're really pushing.
And apparently there's been a CIA drone strike there.
But they say, oh, Venezuela has ties with Iran.
It's like, well, why do they have why are they trading with Iran?
Because they're both under U.S. sanctions.
They actually started trading under the First Administration gas for gold.
Iran was sending gas to Venezuela and Venezuela was sending gold.
And then the U.S. stole some of their shipments of gas.
And I think that stopped.
But, you know, this idea, like, and then they act surprised.
They're like shocked that China and Russia are closer now when they're both targeted in this way.
Right.
Right.
Or Trump says, if you participate in bricks, we're going to punish you with an extra 10% tariff on top of everything else.
Well, that only encourages countries to move to bricks more quickly.
I mean, a lot of these tactics are not well thought out, in my opinion.
Yeah.
And doesn't it seem so obvious, too?
It does.
But I guess we're entering the idiocracy stage of the empire right now, where it's just about whatever sound bites will fly on TV news, but rationality is out the window.
Nevertheless, I really appreciate your time and your conversation and your work at anti-war.com.
Just last chances.
Anything else you want to tell people about the website or how they can follow you and your work?
Oh, your X handle.
Give that out.
Yeah, I'm on X at DeCamp Dave is my handle there.
And I also have a show.
I have a daily podcast YouTube show where I basically go over the news stories that I write up each day.
It's about 20 to 30 minutes, kind of just an update on the U.S. foreign policy news.
It's called Anti-War News with Dave DeCamp.
You can listen to the podcast or it's on YouTube, Rumble, Odyssey, other places where I post the video.
That's great.
It's out there.
Okay, anti-war news with Dave DeCamp.
Well, we welcome you on all our platforms and appreciate what you're doing and your voice.
And we hope that you are able to reach more and more people with this message.
And maybe humanity has a future if we could stop all the warmongering.
If this thing goes nuclear, we're all in trouble.
That's for sure.
That's right.
Yeah.
But thanks for joining me today.
It's been a pleasure.
Yeah, thanks so much for having me.
I really appreciate it.

All right.
Take care.

And whatever you do in 2026, join us in calling for peace and let's get us out of all these international conflicts and bombings and sanctions.
And let's focus on trade as a pathway to peace.
Let's make America great again by making great products and ideas and innovation and then trading with the rest of the world so that everybody benefits instead of everybody dying under the rubble of bombed out buildings.
Okay.
How's that sound for 2026?
Thank you for watching today.
