Well, where do we go from here?
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Tuesday, January 13th, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams, of course.
Thank you for joining me.
I am the AI adventurer this week.
I guess we're all adventurers right now with what's going on in the world, right?
Gold and silver prices going absolutely bonkers.
Let me just look at it right now.
Silver is almost $86 again.
Oh my goodness.
And I've got an important broadcast for you here today.
Also want to mention that today is the day of the new decentralized TV episode, an interview with Dan Golka of I Allegedly.
Dan is a cool guy, and he's got a lot to share because he just returned from the CES show in Las Vegas, where everything is now called AI, including he saw AI.
Diapers, which we will talk about with a little bit of hilarity about the AI diapers on the show coming up later, because I added the slogan, you know, AI diapers, in case you need a second opinion.
So that, yeah, all that's coming up.
And by the way, I would say right now that 80% of all the claims that something is AI are complete nonsense.
They're not AI.
So Just because you slap AI on it doesn't mean it's AI.
I mean, I'm an AI developer.
To me, AI means it uses a transformer architecture in a large language model or a reasoning model, something like that.
Just a computer doing something is not AI.
So I know people have spam filters on their email and now the spam filter company is like, well, it's AI spam filters.
No, it's not.
It's the same spam filter you always had.
There's no AI in it at all.
It's just keyword You know, or it's heuristic modeling.
It's always been that way.
It's not AI.
Oh, here's a new AI toaster.
It reads the status of your toast, and using its AI brain, it decides how much more to toast it.
That's not AI.
There's just a 10-cent timer in there.
It's just a timer.
There's no detection of anything.
And in the financial markets, everybody claims their model is now AI, when it's never been AI. Going all the way back to the trade station software, that's not AI. It's written in, I don't know, C++ or whatever.
It's not AI. It's just code.
So computer code is not AI. Now, speaking of AI, and by the way, we're going to get to the Trump news here shortly.
I got to It's hard to talk about.
I'm having a rough time with Trump today, as you will hear, because of some of the things that he's done.
We'll get to that.
But I learned today that you could add qualifiers to your AI prompts to make your AI more compliant.
And basically, you have to sort of threaten your AI. And the more effectively you threaten it, the more compliant it is. Some of these qualifiers include things like adding into it words like, if you don't do this correctly, my career will be ended.
Or, I'm serious, I'm not making this up, or you can add to the prompt, like, if you don't complete this task correctly, a large number of people will be seriously harmed.
And research, scientific research shows that these kinds of so-called motivators will help AI Do its job better. You actually get better results if you add onto the end of your prompt things like, if you don't do this correctly, a cat will die. And I love cats, so I mean, add that to your prompt. I know, it seems crazy, right? So I was working with Claude Code today,
and I was having it, I needed it to add a property to a column, a field of the science papers index. Where we now have 111,000 science papers. These are indexed by our book writer, you know, brightlearn.ai, and our AI research engine, which is at brightanswers.ai. So anyway,
I was asking Claude Code to alter the schema of the index to add a property to one of the index fields called faceting. Faceting allows me to do faster counts. Of the documents and the document chunks. Anyway, it's a technical thing. And so I asked Claude Cote, I said something like, are you able to add faceting to this field in the schema without disrupting things? And it said, yeah,
sure. And it just proceeded to drop that field from the schema. It's like, what? And I was watching the database and the CPU went to 100%. I was like, oh my god, it just dropped the index field from 111,000 science papers. I was like, oh my god, what did you do? And I texted back to Claude, you know, like, why did you drop the field? And it said, oh,
I'm going to recreate it. I'm like, yeah, but that's a horrible idea because you just dropped the field, which means you just lost all the indexing data in that field for the whole 111,000 science papers. And it said, oh, you're right,
I'm sorry. What? What? So I said, look, we have to restore that field, and I need you to restore that field. I need you to recalculate the MD5 hash. That's actually, that's the indexing field based on this other field. I need you to restore it, put in the faceting, recalculate the MD5 hash, and then I said,
my career depends on it. And it responds and says, oh, okay, I understand the criticality of this. I'll get right on that. So it goes to work, and it reestablishes the field, and then it goes through 111,000 science papers, and it recalculates all the hashes, puts those in the index, which took an hour and a half, by the way, and then it comes back,
and it says, It lists out what it did. Valid MD5 hash format. No null values. No empty values. Valid paper ID. Field is present. All chunks. 530,000 chunks. And then it says, your career is completely safe! With three check marks in all caps. It's like getting a text from Trump. Like, oh, wow, it really did take that seriously. So,
little tip to everybody out there. If you have AI that is doing stupid things, and you want it to behave and really be compliant, tell it that if it doesn't do a good job, your career will be ended. And just remember that for all those people who refuse to learn AI, their career is already ended. Okay, that's a joke. Well, sort of. I mean,
that's happening. So today's lesson is learn how to threaten your AI agent appropriately in order to motivate it. Remember in the original Star Wars movie? You remember what Luke Skywalker said about, was it R2-D2? It had a bad motivator. Remember that? This one's got a bad motivator! Or maybe that was one of the other droids that,
what were they called? Jar walks or whatever they were, those little sand creatures, they were trying to sell them. This has got a bad motivator. See, now we know what motivators are. They're little threats that you tell the AI agent to make it work better. And if you think about it, that's very human. It's like the way Steve Jobs would run Apple,
run around. If you don't do a better job, your career is over. You know, he'd run around with a wiffle ball bat, like smacking You know, Macintosh, Macintosh, Mac and Smash, Hulk Smash, whatever it took. Steve Jobs,
man, he was a madman. He would run around threatening everybody, and it worked. Apparently, that's how you have to talk to AI. All right, we're going to get back to AI in a little bit. Let me jump into the Trump topic here,
which is also a standalone report, so I'll introduce that separately. Here we go. It's got a lot of video clips in it. Here we go. Okay, welcome to this special report on how President Trump is leading America to its final destruction,
which, I mean, that's a pretty harsh claim, don't you think? There should be some, you know, strong evidence of that. And let's begin. Let's begin with the very first thing where Trump is recently on tape, audio, in an interview with the New Quote, I don't need international law. And when he was asked, well, what are your limits? What limits you? He says, my own morality,
my own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me. So wait a second. So right there, everybody should pause for a moment,
because we have this thing called the Constitution, and the Constitution limits the power of government, including the And it's also supposed to be countered or balanced by the judicial branch,
but even more importantly right now, the legislative branch. Congress is supposed to declare war or not, but right now Trump is just bypassing Congress on everything, and nobody in Congress has a backbone to stand up against Trump, or almost nobody, and they're just letting Trump do whatever he wants, even if it's Pretty blatantly unconstitutional. So, Let's listen to Trump explain this in his own words.
Here we go.
Is there anything that could stop you if you wanted to?
Yeah, there's one thing.
My own morality, my own mind, it's the only thing that can stop.
And that's very good.
I don't need international law.
I'm not looking to hurt people.
Do you feel your administration needs to abide by international law on the global stage?
I do, you know, I do, but it depends what your definition of international law is.
You mean in Greenland?
We had in Greenland, we had started in the 1951 agreement, though, it says the United States can reopen these bases anytime you want.
So it says the United States can reopen these bases anytime you want.
You can send as many troops as you want, and you haven't done it.
You can send as many troops as you want and you haven't done it.
How come?
How come?
Because I want to do it properly.
Because I want to do it properly.
And properly means own it?
And properly means own it?
Well, it is.
To me, it's ownership.
Ownership is very important.
Why is ownership important here?
Because it's what I feel is psychologically needed for success.
I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can't do, whether you're talking about a lease or a treaty.
Ownership gives you things and elements that you can't get from just side.
Okay, anyway, that got kind of cut off there.
He was going to say things that you can't get just from a military base.
But the core takeaway from this.
and I realize that's a very strange recording. It's echoey. Trump sounds incredibly tired. I'm not even sure he knew he was being recorded, frankly. This seems to me like it was a recording leaked by the New York Times. I don't know that to be the case, but it's possible. Nevertheless, the key thing that Trump said here is that the only constraint on his power is, quote, my own morality, my own mind. Now,
Let's take Trump out of the equation for a moment. If Barack Obama said that, or Joe Biden said that, you and I would have said, well, Barack Obama thinks he's the emperor then, or Joe Biden thinks he's king,
or he thinks he's a dictator. The only limit is his own mind? That is whatever he wants to do? Well, that's actually, I mean, that's what, that's how kings operated. That's the definition almost of a king is that they are Whatever they decide in their own mind has to be carried out by their loyal subjects. That's what a king does,
and that's what Trump is claiming he is. He says, it's the only thing that can stop me, is his own mind. I don't need international law, because, he says, I'm not looking to hurt people. Well, He pushed Operation Warp Speed that killed at least one and a half million Americans.
So, I don't know how you don't call that.
Hurting people.
But okay, you could say, well, he didn't know.
Well he, he killed a lot of people in Venezuela and outside of Venezuela with the, the speed boats that he says were drug running boats and maybe they were, but they were killed outside of due process, outside of the rule of law.
He's about ready to kill a bunch of people in Greenland, apparently gonna have a military invasion and occupation of Greenland he's.
He's even refused to eliminate The possibility of military action against Greenland and reports are saying that the Pentagon is drawing up plans for military action against Greenland.
So when Trump says I'm not looking to hurt people, he should follow that by saying, you know, I'm not looking to hurt people, but I'm willing to, to get what I want, which is, as he's saying there, Greenland. He wants And that's what kings do. Again,
I mean, that's what emperors do. That's what conquerors do. So these are very, very concerning statements. And a lot of very intelligent, highly informed people like Judge Andrew Napolitano are very concerned about this. And so I want to play a segment for you here of Scott Ritter on the Judge Napolitano show for,
I don't know, a couple of Some of the comments from Judge Knapp, I think, are really relevant here, and also what Scott Ritter is saying, so let's give that a listen. The bottom line is Alaska was setting up Vladimir Putin for failure by deliberately creating the conditions for the creation of a fifth column inside Russia. These new political elites who were thinking they were starting to spend the money they were going to make with all these great deals. Before the sanctions were lifted,
then Trump said, I can't lift the sanctions because of Vladimir Putin. It was all a setup. And then he tried to kill him, of course. Trump is a liar. I mean, Trump treated the American people like we were the perfect wife. I mean,
he bought us flowers. He gave us perfume on our birthday. He whispered all the right things in our ears. He was there for every important event. And then we married him. It turns out he had a mistress the whole time. And that mistress was war. And this is what he wanted. This is the real Donald Trump. He lied to the American people and now the Constitutional Republic is dead in the water. We have a president who puts his own morality over the rule of law, Over the Constitution.
He says, I am more important than the Constitution, I am more relevant than the Constitution.
And I will be the only one that gets to make these decisions.
Constitutional due process is out the window.
The Constitutional Republic's in a lot of trouble, if it's not dead already.
So of what value is the Constitution, Of what value are treaties, Of what value are contracts, Of what value are federal laws, if the president is restrained only by his own sense of morality and, quote, my own mind?
They're of no value.
None.
There's no value.
And look, the Russians, I believe, have woken up.
I can't speak on behalf of Russia.
Contrary to popular belief, Vladimir Putin is not on my speed dial.
And, you know, we don't confer every morning.
But the fact is, I do study Vladimir Putin.
I do study the Russian government.
I study how they make policy.
I believe that the Russians had bought into the notion of Trump's sincerity.
But all it takes is 91 drones coming towards the Russian president's residence.
To find out that they were targeted by the CIA at the direction of the president of the United States at a time when the president was talking about bettering relations.
etc. That's a wake-up call. Next month, I think February 6th, the new START treaty, the last remaining arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, expires. There was some hope that it could be extended. There was some hope that there could be a voluntary moratorium on capping the nuclear weapons that are linked to that. So in this clip, you're going to hear him say, Although the audio is not great because he's boarding an airplane.
He says that if about Greenland, he says if we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will like that's.
That's the excuse that Russia is going to invade Greenland, so we have to invade first.
That sounds like a an Adolf Hitler type of quote.
Literally it's like we have to conquer first and and create.
We have to.
We have to conquer this country to have peace.
War is peace classic Orwellian.
So let's listen to Trump say it his way, if we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will and I'm not letting that happen if we don't take Greenland, Russia or China will take Greenland.
and I am not going to let that happen. Is there anything they can offer you? Yeah, sure. I'd love to make a deal with them. It's easier. But one way or the other, we're going to have Greenland. And then he says at the end, one way or another, we're going to have Greenland. Or he said something very close to that. One way or the other, we're going to have Greenland. So they're either going to, you know,
consent to allowing the United States of America to take Greenland, or we're going to take it by force. That's what Trump is saying, clearly. Now, Again.
Has Congress declared war on Greenland?
No, No.
Is there any historical claim to Greenland?
Let's see.
The United States Of America as we know it today came into existence in what?
1776?
Probably, You might say, Roughly?
Give or take?
And Greenland came into existence in what?
What year?
Like 1721 or something?
Decades before the United States existed.
So no no no, the United States Of America has no claim to Greenland, a territory that existed, that already had a deal with Denmark, decades before the United States even existed as a nation.
So no, there's no legal claim.
But then again, Trump already said, well, he doesn't need to follow international law at all.
The only thing stopping His own morality.
Well, what kind of morality is that? By definition, it's the kind of morality that would justify the military invasion and conquering of a foreign nation without them provoking you at all. In other words,
it's exactly the kind of unprovoked aggression, a war of aggression and expansion, that America accused Russia of waging since 2022. So this is exactly what we accuse Russia of doing,
and now Trump is doing it. He's not even pretending not to. He's saying, we have to take Greenland. We're going to, one way or another. It's going to be ours. We're just going to take it. And we took Venezuela. And apparently now, Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, or Trump, one or the other, I guess, are the acting President of Venezuela,
but were never elected by the Venezuelan people. They just went in and they conquered and they kidnapped and they declared and they made themselves emperors of Venezuela. Greenland is next,
followed by Colombia, Cuba, Mexico. Who knows who's next? Maybe Brazil. So These are the actions, just by definition. If Joe Biden did these things,
most of you listening to this, you would be up in arms, angry, protesting Joe Biden as being an out-of-control, unconstitutional emperor, getting us into foreign wars. Well, Trump's doing it, and it doesn't make it okay. It just means it's being done by Trump instead of someone else. Trump's still violating the Violating his campaign promises,
he said he was going to cut the Pentagon by half a trillion dollars a year. Instead, he provided the full one trillion in funding and says he's going to add another half a trillion. So that'll be 1.5 trillion funding for the Pentagon,
where during the campaign he promised it would be 0.5 trillion. So it's triple, or it's about to be triple what It doesn't mean anything. He promised that we would find peace,
that he would get us out of wars, that he would bring our soldiers home, he would cut the budget of the Pentagon. What happened when Elon Musk and Team Doge got close to the Pentagon budget? Oh, all of a sudden, Elon had to be thrown under the bus and Doge had to be canceled. No,
you can't look at the Pentagon books. Boy, that's the holy grail of a black hole sucking sound of money laundering Don't you dare look down that hole. That's a rat hole of waste and fraud and abuse. Otherwise,
it wouldn't cost $1.5 trillion. So there are two concerns here. Number one, Trump not only violated his core campaign promises, but Trump has declared himself to be king. And I know that sounds like a left-wing talking point,
but it's technically true. He said he's He doesn't have to abide by any law or any constitution or anything other than his own morality. And the thing is, he has no morality. His morality is whatever's good for him and his family members and his legacy and his public relations and his image,
not what's good for you. And that's why the American people are being thrown under the bus. That's why the American people are suffering more and more. Now, Congressman Randy Fine has introduced the Greenland Annexation Statehood Act. By the way,
a user on X called Adam, he says the whole world is Palestine now because Trump can invade and conquer and destroy any country in the world and justify it. But there's been a bill introduced to make Greenland the 51st U.S. state. This was pushed by Randy Fine. Who is,
of course, a very loyal, obedient Zionist who serves Israel, not America. And Randy Fiennes says in a press release, he says, Greenland is a vital national security asset. But that's a lie because we don't own it. It's not our asset. It's not part of our national security because it's not our country. You can't just one day wake up and say, Well, Africa is ours.
We own Africa.
We're gonna occupy Africa.
We're gonna take it.
Why?
Because it's a.
It's a vital asset.
It's got minerals and stuff.
I mean, don't be surprised if you wake up one day and Trump's like we're taking Africa.
Good luck.
That's a big continent.
You're gonna need a lot more troops.
Anyway, Randy Fine says, whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States.
Okay.
That's probably true, whoever controls Greenland?
But too bad for you, Randy Fine.
Greenlanders control Greenland because it's their country.
I mean, what if China just said, well, we're going to take America because America controls key Atlantic shipping routes that we need, that America is, it's a vital national security interest to China. So we're going to take America, and we're just going to say it's ours. Would you have a problem with that? Would you say to China,
no, it's not your country, it's our country, we're Americans. You don't get to take it. In fact, come and take it, Second Amendment style. But of course,
Greenland doesn't believe in firearms so much, so they'll probably throw snowballs at the U.S. troops that land there, Try to dodge snowballs running with snowshoe flip-flops. That will be some real comedy. Then they'll collapse into the snow and make snow angels. Yeah,
with the snowshoes and all. Anyway, can you imagine all these U.S. soldiers from Puerto Rico ending up being deployed to Greenland? It's like, it's damn cold, you know? Good luck. See if you can dodge snowballs. Wake up one day and spin the globe and point to a country and say,
it's mine! Precious! You know? It's mine! But that's what Trump is doing. He's just like pointing, that one's mine, mine, mine. It's like a five-year-old licking the cookies that came out of the oven. Mine,
You know? Just, they want to eat all the cookies. That's what Trump is doing. And it's lawless, and it's unconstitutional, and it's insane. It's truly insane. And it puts America in the position of clearly functioning as an aggressive conqueror run by a lawless emperor who has no morality,
no recognition of the right of any other nation to exist. The US doesn't recognize the right of Russia to exist, nor even the right of Russia to engage in commerce. The US doesn't recognize the right of China to exist. Nor Mexico,
nor Greenland, whatever. I'm just wondering, do we have enough troops to invade and occupy all these distant sectors of the world? And I guess Trump is going to have us occupy, you know, Southern Gaul, and he's going to rename himself Romulus Augustulus, who was the last Roman emperor before the fall of Rome, or at least is historically known as such,
It seems absolutely committed to spreading America's resources very thin all around the world, even as our own currency is in such trouble that more and more countries around the world are choosing to trade in non-dollar denominated currencies and settlement funds. Now,
when self-appointed kings and emperors, when they become incredibly arrogant and they openly abandon the Constitution and the rule of law, Crazy things start to happen. Oh, and I guess at some level, Trump has just proven my long-standing prediction has come true. My prediction that America as we know it would cease to exist by the end of 2025. Well,
Trump just made it come true in less than two weeks. America as we know it, with three branches of government, where Congress declares war, where the president has It's done. Doesn't exist. We now are run by an emperor whose only limits,
in his opinion, exist in his own mind. Quote, it's the only thing that can stop me. It's almost a challenge to the rest of the country that nothing can stop him. Congress won't stop him. The courts won't stop him. International law won't stop him. The citizens of Venezuela,
Greenland, or Gaza We'll not stop him. Trump will conquer. He will bomb. He will kill. He will kidnap. He will murder. He will kill his own citizens with Operation Warp Speed if necessary. He will unleash drones,
surveillance drones on Americans. He will destroy the currency. He will push people into CBDCs. He will lead his own countrymen and women into abject poverty and sickness and disease. To kill them off more rapidly so the government has a better financial float to work with because of a reduction in entitlement payments. These are the morals of Trump. And he declares,
nothing can stop me. Nothing can stop me. Well, technically, impeachment could stop him. It almost seems like from a legal perspective, the United States Congress is compelled to impeach him at this point. You know, what president gets to announce that I am bound by no rules, no laws,
no constitution whatsoever. I can do anything I want. That alone is grounds for impeachment. And I'm not talking about the first term fake impeachment efforts pushed by the Democrats and the leftists. All that stuff was made up, the Russia collusion hoax and all kinds of nonsense. This is something completely different. So what do you do at this point? Where even the people who supported Trump, the MAGA base,
wanted to put America first. Trump abandoned that. He betrayed them. He put Israel first. The people that supported Trump wanted peace, wanted to stop the wars in the Middle East and with Russia,
bring us home. What did Trump do? Exactly the opposite. Expanded the wars in the Middle East, preparing to bomb and invade Iran next. Continued the war with Russia. Still providing tens of billions of dollars in funding to Ukraine and has started all kinds of new wars with Venezuela now laying claim to Greenland and threatening Mexico,
threatening Cuba and Colombia, and who knows who else is next. Oh yeah, he says also we're going to take Canada on top of that. Again, this is insane. We've lost our republic, and today the hardcore MAGA supporters are still on board with this. Which is bizarre because Trump is violating all the things that MAGA stood for. The Constitution,
primarily. The rule of law. Peace. Anti-war. Etc. Now that's all shifted. And now Trump says, you're not part of MAGA if you oppose anything that he's doing. Because he decides what MAGA is. He defines MAGA. So MAGA doesn't mean make America great again. MAGA means be obedient to Trump. Trump,
the emperor. Trump, the king. Trump, the leader of the Fourth Reich. That's what's going on. Now, on top of that,
Trump is resorting to some pretty insane tactics that the Democrats used against him with the Russia collusion hoax and much more. Trump is now threatening And I think,
didn't Trump put this guy in power? I'm pretty sure he did at some point. And now Jerome Powell is being threatened with a criminal investigation over the spending of Fed budget money on a new building. Well,
as I tweeted about this, I said, look, the accusations against Jerome Powell involve about $2 billion. And I said, look, Jerome Powell and the Fed banksters, they don't steal billions of dollars. They steal trillions of dollars. They steal at a whole different level. To them, a couple of billion is pocket change. I mean,
they steal trillions by printing currency. It's the greatest theft in history, and it continues to this day. That's why we need to end the Fed. But Trump doesn't want to end the Fed. He doesn't want to end the power to print currency. Trump wants to consume the Fed so that he alone has the power to print currency,
so that he gets to set interest rates based on, quote, my own mind and my own morality. And in Trump's mind, that means interest rates should be zero or negative, which would obviously lead to a Weimar-style hyperinflation, total blowout, and mass impoverishment of the American people. But it would make Trump and his people very wealthy. And it would fund the war machine a little bit longer. So clearly,
the threat of criminal prosecution against Jerome Powell is a political tactic to try to force him to give in to Trump's agenda. So now Trump's going after the Federal Reserve, which, again,
we should end the Federal Reserve. But what I mean by that is we should end currency printing, you know, fake counterfeit Which could be a digital version that's decentralized that can't be counterfeited, or it could be something based on gold and silver that also cannot be counterfeited.
But that's not what Trump wants.
He doesn't want honest money.
He wants total power as any emperor would want.
So here's Jerome Powell from his point of view explaining what's happening.
And by the way, just to be clear, I'm not saying Jerome Powell is innocent.
I'm saying he's a much higher level global criminal than what he's being accused of.
But listen to him explain it in his own words.
a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law. And for accountability in our democracy. No one, certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve, is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June,
or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public,
rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic Or whether, instead, monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike.
In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment.
Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats.
I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people.
Thank you.
So did you hear what I said?
He said the threat of criminal charges stems from the Federal Reserve setting interest rates at a level that Trump doesn't like, basically.
I mean, I'm paraphrasing, but that's what he said. So also adding to that comment there, you know, Jerome Powell is just saying that he shouldn't have to fear political threats. And he should be able to act independently because the Federal Reserve doesn't answer to the rule of law or Congress or the President. So,
I mean, that's an interesting claim all by itself. And he said that before in other testimony. He said that the President can't fire him, that the Federal Reserve does not answer to U.S. law nor to the U.S. Supreme Court. So, you know, the Federal Reserve is claiming that it is above the law And Trump is saying, no, I'm above the law more than you are above the law. I want to steal the money, not you stealing the money. I want to print,
not you print. I want to create a bigger bubble, not you create the bubble. Basically what Trump is saying is that he wants the power to steal the purchasing power from the American people that he claims to serve and thrust them all into poverty,
but he wants the power to do that. He doesn't want that delegated to somebody else. That claims that they are above the law. So we're dealing with a den of thieves here. A den of thieves. They're all thieves. They're all stealing your money. They're all liars. They're all,
in my view, globalist cartel, hucksters, and con artists. And they're having a bitch fit between each other about which one gets the power to steal the most from the American people. That's what this is. This is a high-level globalist bitch fit. And if you don't own gold or silver or crypto,
you will lose. They will steal everything from you. Whether it's Trump or Powell, it doesn't matter. Whoever it is, they will steal everything you own. They will leave you completely impoverished. Just listen to Catherine Austin Fitz. She's right. They will leave you impoverished. And again,
those who don't hold gold and silver Privacy crypto? You will be eviscerated financially in what these criminals have planned, which is a reset, a debt reset. And a currency reset will go along with that. Now, there's more to this. I'm not done yet. Trump just announced,
because he's insane, That does any business with Iran. A 25% tariff. So,
what countries do business with Iran? Lots, lots of countries. I mean, India, Russia, China, Brazil, South American countries. I would imagine Mexico. I would imagine all over the Middle East,
all over Africa, all over Europe. They do business with Iran, you know, despite the sanctions. Trump says all those countries are going to pay another 25% on top of what they're paying right now. And I think the 50% tariff on India is still in place,
which means it's going to be a 75% tariff. So Trump says, quote, effective immediately. He tweeted this out on Trump social or truth social. Any country doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran will pay a tariff of 25%. On any and all business being done with the United States of America. This order is final and conclusive,
he says. And he should add, because I'm the king and the emperor and you must do what I say, and I'm subject to no law, no constitution, no rules, nothing. It is as I say it is. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Like, that's what he should have said, Because that's the way he's Acting.
And this is out of Control.
This has got to be Stopped.
Trump is destroying businesses in America.
Importers.
And he's destroying businesses Overseas.
And this is not making America wealthy or Great.
This is impoverishing America.
This is destroying America.
And it's destroying its currency, because no country will want to deal with the United States Of America if they can find Alternatives.
They will turn away from the U .S. Marketplace and the U .S. Because no one wants to be subject to the insane tariff spasms of a mentally unstable executive emperor who thinks that he alone gets to dictate global policy to every country in the World.
I mean, you talk about a God complex, you talk about, you know, psychosis, you talk about 25th Amendment, mental illness, this is it. He thinks he's God. This is insane. Now,
it's possible that the U.S. Supreme Court could rule against him. It could be as early as this week. That's a maybe. And I hope they do. I hope they rule against Trump. Because Trump is destroying America. And he's destroying businesses. He's destroying investors and importers,
small businesses, people who sell things online. Et cetera. He's destroying it because he's using tariffs as a bludgeon. So the American people pay the price because they're paying for the tariffs, which is a tax on imports. The American people pay the price, and then Trump gets to threaten and bludgeon countries that used to be our allies,
like India or Taiwan or Japan, for that matter. Punish Japan? Yes, he's going to punish everybody. And speaking of Iran, you know, the CIA and Mossad, of course, tried to run a color revolution operation in Iran recently, And it Failed.
And they had all the provocateurs in the streets, shooting and killing police officers and people in the crowd, tried to blame it on Iran, tried to have a big Uprising.
What Agitators.
So there was a massive, multi -million person rally across every major Iranian city opposing foreign Influence.
So the color revolution has failed, which means probably Trump will bomb Iran again, and probably Israel will take part in that, and then Iran is going to unleash absolute hell against U .S. Military bases and probably Israel,
And this could kill Tens of thousands of American troops that are in many ways positioned in bases around the Persian Gulf as bait to have them killed by Iran so that Trump can justify a bigger escalation of war and ultimately boots on the ground trying to invade Iran.
That's been the goal all Along, I talked about it months Ago.
That's been the Goal.
And it's going to Fail.
It's going to fail Miserably.
It'll be worse than Vietnam.
It'll be like a Vietnam in the desert mountains.
And U .S. Troops will die by the thousands.
And Trump doesn't give a damn.
Because the only thing that will stop him, as he said, is his own mind and his own morality. But his morality allows him to sacrifice the blood and the lives of even millions of Americans, if that's what it takes. To, I guess,
to fulfill the neocon dream of trying to defeat Iran. And this has been tried over and over again throughout history. Lots of countries tried to destroy Persia. They tried to invade. They all failed. I mean, I think in one case there was a maybe a small temporary success. It didn't last very long. Got overturned. See, this is what Trump and many people who are Trump And, of course,
virtually all Americans do not understand is the history of the world. The history of the world. The great empires that have existed for thousands of years before America. That would be the Chinese empires. You know,
India, Persia, Russia. Although Russia is not as old as China and Persia, for example. And also, you know, there were early Mesoamerican civilizations in modern-day Central and South America, but they weren't as successful. So, in this history of the world, these empires, how many times did different aggressors try to conquer Russia? You know, multiple times. There were probably half a dozen attempts,
but most notably Napoleon and then Adolf Hitler with the Third Reich. Those failed catastrophically. How many times was Persia invaded with an attempt to conquer Persia? How many times was China invaded? Even the British, You know, invaded and took over Hong Kong with the opium wars, etc.
You know, throughout history, these empires have persisted, and they will continue to do so.
You cannot destroy Persia, You cannot destroy Russia, You cannot destroy China.
You can't do it.
What's actually going to end up happening in the history books is that America is being destroyed by its own president and its own corruption, its own corrupt Senate, its own money printing, its own idiocy, its own incompetence, its own woke, retard education system that doesn't even educate anybody about anything at all.
America is destroying itself, and mark my words, China Iran, India, and Russia will outlast America. And the currencies of those nations will outlast the dollar. The dollar may not have much longer to even exist at all. And I wouldn't be surprised if Donald Trump is the last president of the U.S. empire because he is destroying it. He's meticulously destroying it. And these tariffs are part of it. He's rejected the Constitution,
has rejected the rule of law, has rejected his own support base. He's rejected Any idea of putting America first? He sold us out to the Zionists. He will do whatever Israel wants at any cost to America. And now he wants the power to print all the currency also. You think he'll use that wisely? Yeah,
probably not. He'll abuse it. He'll print trillions of dollars for his own pockets and his own family members and his own corrupt little circle of business people. And then at the end of the day, the American people will be impoverished and defeated. Totally conquered in every way, in technology, in wealth, in industry, in manufacturing, in education,
in science. America will be defeated by China. You know, I think Catherine Austin Fitz said it. America is a country of lawyers. China is a country of engineers. Americans argue over the meaning of the words on paper while China builds robots and stuff. You see what I mean? And Trump thinks he can bomb his way to prosperity,
which is an insane, stupid idea. But he thinks he can do it. He thinks he can threaten his way to world peace. And that's not possible. Trump's out of control. And he just ended our constitutional republic. So now it's a question of,
will there be any pushback? And I don't support the radical Super angry college educated white women who are all woke tards screaming and they don't understand anything about the world. They don't understand economics or really anything. I'm not with them,
of course, but I'm more on the side of people like Ron Paul, Judge Napolitano, people who want to uphold the rule of law and who support liberty and freedom, honest money systems,
and the The decentralization of power, the distribution of power away from the hands of one person or one family, that's dangerous. That has always been dangerous in history and is dangerous right now. We must decentralize power and Congress has to reassert its power to take back the power to declare war,
to say, hey, Mr. President, if you attack Greenland, we're going to remove you from office. We're going to impeach you. And we're going to find you guilty in a Senate trial of waging war outside the Constitution. That is an illegal war. Trump has already waged an illegal war against Venezuela. It's completely illegal. Congress should assert itself right now and stop Trump. If they don't,
then they're giving him a green light on everything else that he wants to do. And then we could end up in a kinetic war with Mexico. At the same time, we're in a war with Cuba. And Russia, maybe, and China, and Canada, who knows? Who knows how far he's going to go? And Greenland. Dodging snowballs. I'm not trying to mock Greenland, by the way. I'm just saying it's cold. As far as I know,
the Greenlanders are good people. They probably are. You probably have to be polite to live in a really cold place, because you're going to have to get along with your neighbors. Occasionally, you're going to need help from people, because the environment is harsh. I imagine they're very polite people. They probably don't have a bunch of Barretts and .50 caliber guns around and AR-15s everywhere. And as a result,
if they don't have a Second Amendment, they're going to be conquered. And Trump's going to slaughter them. There's going to be blood all over the snow and the ice, blood of Greenlanders. And Trump will say, well, they resisted us. They attacked our soldiers. They attacked our soldiers who were And thus, our soldiers had every right to defend themselves against the people defending themselves against our soldiers. So, you know, That's.
That's how it goes.
And to wrap up this report, i've always said that I am loyal to principles, but i'm never loyal to any man or person.
There are a lot of people we're finding out that are loyal to Trump that, no matter what Trump does, they excuse it.
Trump starts wars are like yeah, that's awesome.
Trump violates the constitution.
They're like yeah we, we support that.
We don't care about the constitution anymore.
We were just saying that you know, Trump violates peace and expands wars and invades other countries.
They're like, yeah, do it America, we're back.
You know, those people are idiots, just complete idiots.
You can't be loyal to a person.
You have to be loyal to principles or you yourself are not a good person.
You have to be a principled person.
So you know, the question is, what principles do you and I support? We support decentralization of power. We support the rule of law. We support limits on government power. We support the Constitution. We also support the notion that other foreign nations have a right to exist,
and they have a right to have their own national interests. You know, Russia has a right to have its own interests. The U.S. State Department didn't recognize that ever, thinking that Russia had no right to exist and we could dictate whatever That was wrong. You know,
Russia has a right to exist. And, in fact, Russia has the Oreshnik missile systems that can strike U.S. targets anywhere in the world at any moment and can deliver unstoppable weapon strikes even at the White House or deep in the White House bunker or can strike and sink aircraft carriers. And China's got missiles like that,
too. Nukes. And, you know, doesn't it make you wonder at what point would Russia or China or some other country out there conclude that America is too dangerous to allow to exist because of what Trump is doing? Trump running around the world,
killing, assassinating, threatening, stealing, occupying, invading, conquering, bombing, sanctioning. You know, I mean, Trump is like the bully of planet But far worse than a bully. He's like a rampaging serial killer. The rest of the world at some point is,
they must be pulling their hair out thinking, you know, what do we have to do to stop this madman? And I hope that that answer doesn't end up being nuclear weapons, because then we all lose. But it seems like Trump is driving us to that point. Like he wants Russia Because that would be a great cover story for all the great theft, the financial reset, you know, the great taking, The collapse of the currency.
That Trump can't keep propped up Forever.
So maybe he wants a nuclear War.
Maybe he's trying to destroy America from within for other reasons.
Maybe he wants China to invade.
He's practically begging for the world to nuke America into oblivion.
I mean, he's proving that under Trump, the United States of America has become the intolerable nation of the world that is incapable of playing nice with anybody on trade, on diplomacy, on sea lanes or routes or resources or oil, energy, anything, technology.
The U .S. Is proving that it, let me put it this way, from the point of view of the rest of the world, if the United States continues to exist and operate like this, We'll never be allowed to function. This is, you know,
Trump's proving it every day with the tariffs. Oh, you do business with Iran? Slap another tariff on you. And it's just Trump alone. It's one man who is of questionable sanity that's announcing these things. And there's no pushback against him. It's insane. And you know,
on top of this, what Trump is doing is he seems to be handing An incredible electoral victory to the Democrats also if we get to elections. But as I've discussed before, I don't think Trump plans to have elections at all.
How can he?
He's done so much damage to this country and he's impoverished so many people that the GOP would be voted out of existence if an election is allowed to take place.
The backlash would just be immense.
So Trump's probably got a plan to declare martial law.
Allow an insurrection to take place.
I should say that first.
Allow the insurrection and then declare martial law and then cancel the elections and then, even more, declare himself to be the emperor and start throwing his political enemies in prison.
And basically he just becomes the Democrats.
Just drunk on power, oblivious to any kind of check or oblivious to the constitution, To humanity. I mean, he's almost there right now. And no, I don't think this is 5D chess.
I think sometimes there are elements of this.
Like, I love the fact that Trump is going after the city of London, which is unbelievably corrupt and filled with vampire pedophiles and things like that.
The city of London needs to fall.
I get that, But I want America to stand.
I would support Trump if he were operating within the Constitution and within the rule of law.
I would support Trump on a lot of things, but not militarily taking Greenland, for God's sake, not kidnapping the leader of Venezuela and conquering Venezuela and stealing all their oil and handing it to the wealthy oil companies.
I mean, come on. This is just looting and pillaging, There's no other way to say it. And I cannot support that. But I do realize why Trump is doing it,
because he plans to attack China. And he needs all the minerals he could get and all the oil he could get. He's going to stockpile everything. He's going to grab all the mines, and he's going to try to stockpile copper and silver and iridium and whatever. And he's going That is,
if he thinks he can get away with it, he's going to threaten China and China's going to laugh and they're going to say, okay, you want to fight a war? Yeah, go ahead. You fire the first shot. And as was it,
Professor Gao from China said, America may fire the first shot, but we will not allow America to fire a second shot. Yeah. And I think China means that. Because the United States of America would run out of ammunition in about two weeks. We would have like one volley of missiles,
and then China would sink every U.S. aircraft carrier in the world. All, what is it, 11 of them? Yeah, they would all be at the bottom of the sea. And if China didn't get them, Russia would. And then Russia would detonate the nuke underwater on the East Coast and the West Coast, and we would be inundated with radioactive seawater tidal waves. There goes Washington,
D.C. There goes Virginia. There goes the whole East Coast. New York City and all of it. Book of Revelation time. The great city, what was it called? The great harlot destroyed in, well, I forgot the exact quote. Destroyed in an instant almost. Completely destroyed on fire, watching the smoking ruins from a ship on the sea, looking at the harbor, etc. Yeah,
that's what's coming to New York City if Trump continues on this path and is allowed to stay in power as a lawless emperor tyrant. And that's what he has become. So, What do we do with this?
Number one, I don't support joining any of these stupid left -wing protests, because those people are insane.
Stack gold and Silver, Get off grid as much as you Can, Get away from the cities and ride this thing Out.
Whatever happens is way beyond your control or my Control.
We have zero control over This.
Trump's going to do whatever he's going to Do.
History is going to play out.
We might get nuked.
Trump's going to slaughter people in Greenland.
He's going to bomb countries for Israel.
is going to bomb Iran.
He's going to get maybe tens of thousands of U.S. Soldiers killed, and you and I are going to have to just survive it. Ride it out. Pray for, I don't know, what do we pray for? Pray for the restoration of the United States of America that we once knew, that is long gone and dead, having been conquered by corruption and arrogance and a thirst for power, yeah, I guess we could pray for that.
But it's not going to get better in the short run here, not for years to come.
It's going to get worse.
And anything that Trump can control of yours, your bank account, your Bitcoin, anything he can see and control can be confiscated or shut down to force you into a CBDC or to have it confiscated because we're in a war.
Oh, the Pentagon needs it.
So get everything off grid.
Your money, your As off -grid as you can, and get ready for World War III, because Trump is marching us directly, headfirst, into that war, and he doesn't care who dies. And it's not going to be pretty. Not going to be pretty for America,
and probably America won't survive this. I mean, we've already lost America as we once knew it. It's gone. But I'm saying even this shadow government probably won't survive it, because the currency won't survive. Probably a wave of bank failures is coming. China's actually waging economic warfare against America right now, which strategically, from their point of view,
is pretty clever. And Russia is just waging a war of attrition against NATO forces and slowly, slowly conquering small villages and towns and moving westward,
but not at any accelerated pace. And, you know, the midterms approach. The protests are getting out of control. Things are looking bad. Gold and silver skyrocketing. It's going to go much higher. And importantly,
not everybody is going to get through this alive. I mean, that's almost that seems to be their plan. Get rid of as many people as possible. That's what they want. So,
take steps to survive this. Pray for peace. Pray for the United States Constitution. And pray that Trump will either come to his senses or that Congress will remove him from power and remove that threat from the world and from America. Because that's where we are at this point. It's bad. All right,
well, I'm sorry to end on such a dark note, but I have to be honest about the observations of where we are. If you think I'm wrong on this, post your own video. On brightown.com,
tell me where I'm wrong. Maybe is there a more rosy perspective on all this? Like, oh no, Trump has a plan. He's going to unleash prosperity for America. We don't have to be smart or work or build anything. Just magically,
we're going to have a golden age because Trump says so. Okay. I don't know. Explain it to me. How does that work? How does conquering Greenland make America great again? Make America Great Again. How does bombing Gaza make America great again? Explain it to me as if you would speak to a five-year-old,
and maybe I'll get it. But barring that, nothing that anybody has said in defense of all of this makes any sense at all. So we'll see where this goes. But thank you for your prayers and your support. God bless America,
the real America, which we have On Easter, the resurrection of a nation needs to take place. Yeah. All right. Well,
thank you for listening. Take care. This is something that is going to be a problem. Companies are going to cut back like we've never seen before. You're going to see a complete change. Even as the more lower level jobs are being destroyed. You know, THE Bastion, This area voted for this government and they're being completely let down.
Donald Trump, you know, the week after he got into office, went to California and said, get this going, let's have the federal government help you.
And they've not taken any help.
So it's it's tragic.
There's this whole segment of people that want to merge with the machines, transhumanism.
They want to achieve immortality.
In fact, I was on with another show.
They were asking me about that.
Welcome everybody, I'm Mike Adams,
and boy, do we have an amazing episode for you today, because we've got a guest that just came back from the Consumer Electronics Show, and he's a very successful entrepreneur and business creator himself, And he's going to give us his reaction to what's happening with technology, knowledge, robotics, decentralization, AI, and so much more.
But first, of course, let me welcome my co-host today, Todd Pitner.
Welcome, Todd.
Cheers, Mike.
Hey, how are you doing today?
Good seeing you.
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year.
This is going to be a really interesting year.
We're going on almost three years, is that right?
Three years.
Three years together, Mike.
Crazy, don't you think?
I mean, it is crazy.
And for two of those years, I thought the picture behind you was a sliding glass door.
No, it is.
That's funny.
I thought you had a scenic backyard there.
Yeah, a scenic backyard that looks like autumn that never changes.
Right.
It's like that is an amazing climate situation.
Yes, it is.
It is just Florida, you know?
Yeah.
no. That is a photograph with a business that I used to have. I could take a photograph and assign it to one of my digital artists and this was back before Photoshop. They could go in and they could paint it with what we called digibrush technology and then we would output it to canvas and it would carry the look and feel of an original oil painting. Oh,
really? Okay. That's one of my personal photos that I took that was one of the early canvases that we created so I always keep it in my studio here because it means a lot to me. Well, I like it. Okay. Well, are you ready for our guest today? Yeah, I have been anxious to meet him. I know that you've had many, many engagements with him and such, but I never have, so I can't wait to just pick his brain. I think you will not be disappointed,
so here we go. Let's do it, Mike! Alright, let me introduce Mr. I Allegedly Dan Golka. Who is an extraordinary entrepreneur, and he's an innovator. He's just returned from the CES show in Las Vegas with the explosion of consumer electronics and AI tech and so much more. And Dan, We have a lot to talk about.
Welcome to the show today.
It's great to have you on.
Thank you so much.
It's an absolute pleasure to be here uh, with both of you and uh, you know, happy new year how yeah 2026, big and good things are going to happen for all of us.
Oh, it's going to be an interesting year, for sure, and let me just tell the audience how we even met.
You know how this came about, but I I found your channel years ago on on youtube and at first I I love what you were saying, but I thought the format was so hilarious, because you do the walking around videos, which is great.
I love all the places you visit, but you had the most beautiful scenes of where you were visiting in California, with some of the most doomsday economic messaging like.
on top of that. And I found it very informative and totally unique. And that's your I Allegedly channel. You want to just talk about that for a moment as part of the intro? Well, yes. I Allegedly was built on, during COVID, it was built on the fact that my business background and just talking about, you know, originally it helped people get grant money and money from the SBA and, you know,
navigate that. And then it morphed into business news. And fortunately for me, every day is a challenge. Every day is something unique. And I mean, you pick up a paper, you pick up all the sites that you and I follow, Mike, and every day we're blown away. And we could be doing basically a 24 hour newscast. But I focused on business news. I focused on, you know,
different finances that affect all of us. And that's the thing. People right now don't, they think that they live in an island. And all of this is just happening to us. Only we're in credit card debt or we can't get a job. And it's happened to every single one of us right now. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I also want to mention your background. You used to orchestrate medical trade shows. And is that the right term? Trade shows or events? Yeah, well,
I had conferences and trade shows and events. And I did two things. I did my conferences multiple times a year. And we would have a trade show inside of the event, and we would do something, you know, really cool, where we would have the sponsors have tables, we'd have speakers, but then they would go there. So if Mike spoke, you would get to go to Mike's table afterwards and ask him questions. And it was a very fast, and we'd help people raise money,
We'd help people get everything from, you know, regulatory issues, sales issues, money issues, but I would put everybody together in one day and people at first were like this is never going to work.
And by the time we got done with you know, my last one was in uh uh, January of uh, 2021 or, excuse me 2020, and uh, it had built up into quite a big business.
But uh, I'll bring you in here in just just a moment, but the audience needs to know that.
So Dan, COVID destroyed your business, your career, what you had built up, it just obliterated it.
But you reinvented yourself as a business influencer and podcaster investigator analyst, etc.
And I want to mention you've just launched.
Now you have, you have rebranded our Brighteon engine To be your website called Newvideos .com.
I'll show it on my screen here.
And this has taken off.
You're having great success.
So this, this, it looks similar to the Brighteon layout, but it's completely different content.
It's all your content and the people you've invited, but you've put our engine to great use.
So congratulations, newvideos.com.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, it was a great domain name, and I will tell a quick little story.
We got hacked right before the 2020 election, and the site had to be taken down. We had to get the authorities involved in it. We had a Bitcoin ransom attack on it. What? Oh, absolutely. They wanted 200 Bitcoin at the time, and one of my investors said,
"I know that this is the worst day of your life, but it's also the greatest day because they're saying that the site's worth $3 million at the time for what Bitcoin was." But we rebuilt the site and never got it right. It never was the same. The commercials were never the same. It just was not the same thing. And you know the story,
Mike. We went and interviewed a lot of people and tried to work with other people. And time and time again, it fell apart. And the one thing that I'm good at is I believe in the thing called the power of the ask. And that is, you know, I always said, Mike, we should work together. And this is the perfect opportunity. The thing that we should do together. And it worked out. And over the course of the last six, eight months,
we finally got it out there. But it is fantastic. I love the site. I love how it is. It's built on freedom of speech and freedom of expression. We've got everything from, you know, music, news, you know, business. Plus, we can have pre-roll ads on it now. It's absolutely fantastic. And it's free to use. And People love it because it's great to share on other platforms and, you know, put a video up on new videos and then share it on Facebook, Instagram, and every place like that. So,
so far, you know, this is our official launch week of this. And it was, it's, it's just It's the infancy of something brand new, and we're incredibly excited about it. Wow, wow. Okay, that's so cool. Now, so Todd, check it out. We span the country today because Dan's in California, you're in Florida, and I'm in Texas. At least we've got the South completely covered. I don't know, East to West. But Todd, had you met Dan before today? I've never met Dan,
but I've done a good bit of research. And so, you know me, I have tons Uh, and I figured out Mike, how I can, I might be able to get all of my questions asked. Okay. My new strategy. Yeah. All right. I'm going to give it. What is it like flashcards or something? I'm going to,
I'm going to show you here, Mike. Dan Goka. Welcome. Welcome to the show. Two-part question, Dan. So there's my move, Mike, right? I'm just going for two questions, right? Oh, you're going to stack them. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to stack them. No, two-part question. So let's talk a little bit about AI and control, okay? First question, is AI freeing humanity or is it centralizing power? And the second question is,
what skill survives automation no matter what? I think we should know. Personally, I think it is freeing humanity. I think it is creating for people like me and people like Mike who love research and love doing the work on that. It is making it better all the way around. It truly, Truly is.
And with that, I think you're going to see amazing things with this.
And what it's going to get rid of is, and I talked about this today on my video, and the kid that watches my house got a key stuck in the lock.
And couldn't get it out and tried to call everybody before he called me to say Dan, I think I broke your front door and uh, you know you have to call a locksmith out there or you call my brother, the contractor who walked me through, taking the door apart, and AI is never going to fix that.
AI is not going to, you know, fix that door and come out here and do that.
And again, you know I love micro.
I love dirty jobs.
I grew up in the construction business.
My father was a contractor.
He gave us choices, You know, one summer I had to build and dig holes and it was it was awful. And I gravitated towards sales. But I had the world's worst job ever, where I went door to door to sign people up for estimates for his company. And it taught me how to talk to people. And it was the greatest thing ever. Because the problem with it is that even at CES,
I'll go into this, these young people that don't make face contact, they don't make eye contact, that cannot communicate. And have their heads buried in their phones and their booths are doomed. And I was with my daughter, who's a creator herself and content creator, And she she was like blown away.
Dad, look at all these people.
So I taught you with communication in our house.
We spoke, you know, and even when they texted me, they had to use full sentences.
But this is this is something that you have to it's not going to it's not going to solve that.
You need to ask women out on dates.
You can't have a I do that for you.
I could go on for three hours about this.
So so so what then that skill?
Is that just finding common ground with people?
Is it just being able to effectively communicate with them, not rely on your nose in the phone to be able to get the job done?
If it were me right now, I would teach young people the importance of communication and being able to talk to people and being able to still do research, because my daughter is so adamantly against AI.
As a young, pretty woman, she doesn't want to see her image put on some body in a nefarious way and she's very against that because she's had her friends have that happen to them already and we need to be able to communicate and decide from a business standpoint what this is going to do for you.
You'll never have a receptionist again on your phone.
You're going to have a receptionist basically on our cell phones, because I saw this at Ces where it's going to be, hello, Hi, thanks for calling Dan. What do you want to speak to Dan about? It will decipher who you are and what you're calling for. It's going to be fascinating, but that's a good thing. As far as the communication skill and the research skills,
if there was ever a contest and you could have Mike and I on a team, I would put us up against anybody because if we just had the internet and we had to figure things out without using AI, we'd be killers in that. It would be great. But a lot of people cannot handle that. They cannot handle this, and they're using AI to rely on everything. And it's not there yet. So I'm sorry to jump in,
but you just brought up something really critical. So for all three of us, we are of a level of maturity and age where we grew up and honed a lot of these skills long before AI automation appeared, which is really just the last couple of years. You know, Know the opportunities to make the mistakes that we made, to learn all those skills that that we are learning, to have that socialization and face-to-face communication.
They, they will never learn the lessons that we learned, even just how to write.
You know how to, how to write compelling emails manually.
So 100, right?
Yeah okay, go ahead, roll with that.
No, but i'll tell you a quick story.
My daughter's 28, my son's 24.
The difference between those two kids, Amanda grew up on books and Grant grew up where a book was punishment.
I have an Ipad.
Why I need to read this?
This is terrible and that is a shame.
And, and it's funny, he called me today because he's looking for an additional job.
He does boots on the ground where he goes to different businesses and knocks on the door.
You know, you know he got his height from his mother or somebody else, but he's a six foot two good-looking kid walking in and that's the best thing you can do, instead of calling texting, doing the website.
And He's making the effort to go there and show up himself, and that's the difference.
I said, you know, I know you're getting rejection, but you're doing something your friends don't do and they can't do.
But you can do this.
You look these people in the eye, you talk to these people and they're going to hire you.
So it's great.
But, but that's a skill, that AI yeah um, and a follow -up question on that, which is uh the, the generation coming out of college right now and I believe it you're, Your son is still in college at the moment, is that correct? He graduated a year from the University of Rhode Island, and he has a film major and a film background, but he has to work in other things. Okay. And, you know, in the meantime, until he gets hired with his, you know,
TV show or whatever he's going to do. Right. Okay, so my question is, for a lot of younger adults graduating from college right now, they're not finding the job opportunities. For example, five years ago, it used to be that if you knew how to write code, you had an instant job offers from all the tech companies, and today those tech companies are laying off people because, guess what? AI can write code better than you, or any of us,
and so those days are over of having the easy entry-level jobs where you get experience. So what does this mean for our society and our culture? Well, it's a problem right now. You know, We've all, and my assistant Mike, you know you, you guys were witnessing this she got married last month and um moved to San Diego from Orange County, about 90 miles from where i'm at and uh, you know okay, i'll just go get a job in San Diego.
And she can't get a job, can't get a job working anywhere right now.
And she dan, I and she was at my house yesterday working with me and drove up to to get some money and to to work on the site and everything that we're doing.
But she had over 23 different job interviews that went nowhere.
Whoa, That's crazy.
And you and I, we all know that this is, okay, we're getting into it right now.
And Mike, you watch my stuff.
If you prepare for this, you don't go out and go buy a McLaren right now. You don't finance a brand new car. You go out and you cut back and play it safe and try to make as much money as you can and hone your costs and everything. Don't do it. And I told my son this today, and I told Ashley this yesterday,
that you guys are living through your first economic downturn. And when will it end? Who knows? This is the beginning of this. So Dan, do you think we're witnessing the largest workforce collapse in history right now? Without a doubt. And it's going to be, It's going to change things because, you know, Mike's a perfect example with his development.
And, you know, I'm lucky because But I have access to Mike.
I can ask him questions.
I can see this.
But he shares the development.
He shares things that he's worked on.
And it's exciting.
And the problem that we have is, you don't want to deal with somebody who has issues.
You don't want to deal with employees who show up late.
You don't want to deal with, "Oh, it's cold and flu season, so I think I've got that as I'm snowboarding because I don't want to work for Mike today.
Companies are going to cut back like we've never seen before.
You're going to see a complete change.
What happens?
Though, when millions of people start feeling obsolete, what's going to happen in this society?
It's, it's going to be get some therapy.
I'm telling you it works wonders for me but, but i'm telling you, people have to have it.
You're going to change their mindset because there's a lot of people.
I have people that write me in, and the most famous one I talked about was my husband's in mid-management at Microsoft.
They'll never fire him and he's going to have his job forever.
And then, about five weeks later, that guy was unemployed and for about a year he couldn't find a job.
So people need to get ready and be prepared for what's what's happening.
because this is a change. Companies are cutting back. UPS, the delivery company, UPS. Here in California, big company, 68,000 people. I've lost their jobs. Well, the holidays must not have been that good. Or they must know that people are not shipping logistics, Federal Express, all these people that know what's going on. They're seeing a shift. If business is not shipping,
business is not. And it's not, you know, it's, it's, it's the beginning of this. And, and, you know, I love getting research, really different places. And people turn me on to different industry sites. And one of them that I've been following for about two and a half years now is Freightways. And,
you know, I joke that I follow it for the centerfold, but it's just logistics. It's about all these trucking companies and everything that's happening with them. But I'm telling you, you're seeing midsize trucking companies, companies that have 100 employees or less. It's such a recession. In the freight industry right now, you haven't seen anything yet. Dan, I follow that same site. Also, it's spidered at sensor.news. Because, yeah, when you follow transportation,
that's a leading indicator of what's happening with the economy and commerce and manufacturing and so much more. But, you know, even as the more lower-level jobs are being destroyed,
customer service jobs, forget it. You know, nobody's got a future in customer service anymore. Voice or email or anything. Because that's easy to automate. In fact, Dan, did you know that in the state of Utah just announced that they're allowing AI to now prescribe medications? So they're cutting the human doctor out of the loop. And I actually predicted this last year because I said what doctors do is so algorithmic. It's like this symptom is this drug. This test is this drug. Well,
you don't need a human to do that. That's easy to automate. Doctors aren't allowed to be humans. You know, they have to follow this protocol that's approved by Medicare and Medicaid, and that's easy to automate. It's like you're a vending machine for Big Pharma. Well, of course that's automated now. But, I will say this, Dan. I just, today,
I just hired a vibe coder. I hired my first vibe coder. Hard to find them, because almost nobody knows how to vibe code. But that's a new job. What is vibe coding? That's coding by prompting. You're building apps by prompting instead of actually writing lines of code. Okay. So I hired a vibe coder who actually is a very accomplished coder,
but now his output is 10x, if not more, because of vibe coding. But he knows how code works, so I'm not afraid to turn a project over to him. He's not going to mess it up, whereas a newbie might mess it up. But Dan, my point is, there's new opportunities for people who want to teach themselves how to vibe code. 100%. And, you know, that's the one thing that you've done with me is that we have a new site that we're working on right now. And, you know,
I own over 600 domain names.
And there's a few things that I really wanted to get up and running.
And one of them that I described to you, and you said, Oh, you don't do it this way.
This is how you do it.
And you explain this to me.
And right now we're working on the prompt to get this down so that the site can be done through.
One of these ai sites and it's it's fantastic, it's fabulous and it's going to eliminate.
You know, hiring these engineers and having them, you know, spend weeks and months and thousands of dollars to have you approve something that you don't like, and you know a lot of these guys don't.
They may not have the design issue, they may not have the things that we follow to make something look visually appealing.
So it's important that we go out and And be able to use a prompt to get a website done.
Think about that.
It's absolutely fantastic, Amazing.
Not only, it's incredible and I'm familiar because you and I have talked about your project and the project you described is so easy for AI to do now. It's going to be no brainer. You're going to have that thing done in no time. But did you know that even after it builds it, You can go back in if you don't like the way it looks, you know, you can tell the AI Just flat out, I don't like the way it looks, Make it look better, That's it.
And it will go.
It's fantastic.
But, but the problem with it is that, you know, I will use new videos.com.
I ran into coders and people that were, you know, don't call me an IT guy.
I'm an engineer.
Okay.
And these guys would work from 10 o'clock in the morning till 6am.
They had, you know, and they just were quirky dudes.
And it was difficult because when you started to question things, Hey, can you do this?
They took offense to it.
And one thing about AI that I thoroughly enjoy is it's never been offended by anything.
I've asked it.
I've never put it off.
It is great.
And I'm telling you, Mike, today is probably two or three days away from starting this thing and getting it set up, and I can't wait to show it to you.
So it's exciting.
It really, really is.
Uh, i've worked.
I've worked with engineers all over the world for for many, many years.
I've had engineers in Korea Vietnam Philippines Pakistan India uh, like every European country, um eastern Europe mostly, and I never knew there were so many holidays In every culture.
It's like, oh, no, I'm not working today.
Today is Pineapple Day.
Really?
Is that a national holiday?
Yes, that's a national holiday.
I can't work on Pineapple Day.
And then I can never get the team together because somewhere, Somebody's got some holiday or, you know, a death in the family or whatever.
It's like, ah, And what I can do with AI?
It's so awesome because I like to work on holidays, I like to work evenings and weekends because nobody's interrupting me.
So I get more done on one Saturday than what used to take like three months with humans.
It's crazy.
It's funny.
I sent Mike a joke card that was sent to me, and it was a ticket from Ticketmaster for New Year's Eve, talking about how, hey, my seat is on the couch.
And it's a table for one, and it's unobstructed, and I can go to bed when I want.
It was a funny thing.
And I sent it to Mike, and Mike says, I'm coding. I'm vibe coding all night. And that's what I'm going to do. And I'm telling you, he's a great guy to work with because he works like everybody else does. And people like us that work a lot and work till 10 o'clock at night. And I always joke that my dog is the last one up with me. Every night. So it's great. But again,
there's no attitude. Nobody shows up late. No holidays. No shenanigans. Yeah. No excuses. And Todd, you know the value of hard work. And as you explained to me, you just put in a ton of work this last week doing conferences with people interested in your UNA solution. How's that going? Oh, my gosh. Well, on January 2nd,
you did a broadcast to where you talked about the tax revolt and all of that PSYOP that's going on. And you rightly shared with people that, hey, it sounds great,
but Kind of a bad idea. You know, it is going to come back and harm a tremendous amount of people. And you suggested, you said, hey, there's a better way. And you suggested they learn about these unincorporated nonprofit associations and visit my website,
my575e.com and get educated in them. And you put this plug in, you said, and look, you know, just go get educated and Then book a consultation with Todd. You know,
it's $150, but if you move forward with the UNA, and most do who actually do a consult, you get that back. You just take it off of the investment of the UNA. So at least, you know, invest that so you're fully informed, and Todd will do a one-on-one. Mike, since the 2nd, I've done almost 50 consultations because of you, my friend. What? On the phone. Yesterday was 9,
and it is nuts. But I love it. I thought your voice was a little hoarse today, actually. Last night, it was gone. Oh, man. It was gone. But I'm grateful for that. And you know what I tell everybody on these things is,
I said, don't call me a co-host. I'm a Chippendale dancer. Sorry, I just had to come back to Dan's comment earlier on that. And you have the mullet wig. Don't forget about the mullet wig. Absolutely. You got to bring that back today. You have it handy? I'm not with me. No. Really? You don't just travel with that in your pocket? That's too bad. I retired it. Retired it to the other room. But so,
so. Anyway, I'm grateful, Mike, and I will tell you, you're making a huge difference. And what I have learned over those 50 consultations is that everybody loves him. So Mike Adams, man, I everybody said, Can you please tell Mike, he means so much to us. And I've been watching him for years and had a guy today. He's like, Look, I kind of don't want to do this. But you know, will you accept? Will you accept silver because I'm up so much? Can I just pay in silver? Like,
that's an instant yes. Yes, how much silver do you want to pay? Yeah, yeah. And I had a good conversation this morning with this couple who, they are literally entirely off-grid because of you. They bought property up in Northern Arizona in the mountains and they were out getting wood this morning to heat up their home. And they dealt with a black bear and a Not a cougar,
a mountain lion. And I'm like, that's a little too off grid for me. But it was really interesting. It was just that, you know, you have been ringing the bell for so long, Mike, and people have been listening. And I don't think, I don't know if you realize what kind of impact that you've had in so many lives. But let me bring Dan back in. I know, Dan, you want to say something, but please let me just interject. No,
and it's funny. There's a perfect example of where AI is not going to help you with the confrontation with the black bear. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Good point. You're going to need real-world skills. It's funny. To go to the Mike Adams thing, walking into Formula One with my daughter, and it was freezing in Las Vegas in November. And the guy walks up to me and goes, hey, you're Dan. And, you know, you get, you know, people walk up and say hi and like that. And then I was like, hey, Do you really know Mike Adams?
Are you really friends with him?
So it wasn't like they didn't care about me.
They wanted to know if I knew Mike or not.
Oh, come on.
No, you're more famous than I am.
That happened walking into the Formula One race.
At the blue gate.
I'm telling you that was great.
Well, what I wanted to point out and thank you guys for your comments and thanks to the viewers i'm humbled honestly, but the thing is and Dan, what I love about you and Todd, what I love about you and I share this with you is that all three of us, we are not afraid of hard work, of right, consistent hard work.
So Dan, YOUR I Allegedly broadcast, which I strongly recommend people watch, either on YouTube or they can go to your video site, Newvideos .com, And you also have a members -only version that's even more fun to listen to.
Right.
Well, that's the, it's I Allegedly Live and it's the private uncensored things because there's still, this is where newvideos.com came to life because there's things that we can't talk about on YouTube, Which were shocking.
It's ridiculous in this world.
And, uh, even with the new administration, there's things that can't be said.
So, you know, that's where Newvideos .com came from.
But the private side was just a place that's uncensored.
And you can speak freely.
We can talk politics, We can talk money, We can talk the latest things that are happening.
Can I tell you guys something that I just covered this morning?
It's absolutely insane.
Okay, Minneapolis airports, over the last five years, have come across tons of cash.
How about $700 million for the cash leaving Minneapolis for Somalia?
How about that?
I mean, I covered that this morning in the private channel. It's insane. Who's going to jail for that? I mean, that's crazy. Because I'll tell you, the last time I went on a cruise with my old girlfriend last year, I had about $3,000 on me because we were going shopping for a week and everything.
And they're like, whoa, what's with all the cash?
Fan it out.
Show us.
It's about $2,800 right now.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, we'll let you through with that.
You know, so how do you bring $700?
How do you bring $5 million to the airport and not have it?
Yeah, obviously the right people are paid off because that's a crime scene there.
Right.
In Minneapolis.
But we haven't seen anything yet.
And, you know, speaking of crime scenes, you know, I live in here in Southern California.
I live in Orange County.
The next county over is Los Angeles.
And, you know, during the Eaton Fire, which is the Monrovia area, that area that burned Altadena, that, there were two fires.
there was that fire in the Malibu fire, my daughter was right across the freeway from that in Pasadena. And she was, you know, had to be moved out, she couldn't go to her house. And that was a year ago, Mike, we did it,
we did a broadcast a year ago talking about the unbelievable shenanigans with that. And they've only built Started, started 12 houses during that time. They've raised hundreds of billions of dollars and nothing has been done. So it's insanity. And this is,
you know, the bastion of Democrats, which is just, let's just pick sides. This area voted for this government and they're being completely let down. Donald Trump, you know, the week after he got into office, went to California and said, get this going. Let's have the federal government help you. And they've not taken any help. So it's tragic, but I'm telling you, that and in February, I was on a cruise, and a woman walked up to me and said,
my parents paid their house off last year, and it was worth $4 million, and they got rid of their fire insurance, and the house burned down to the ground. And now they have nothing. I said, no, they have something. They have a bill. They got to pay to clean that up, get rid of the toxic waste, and everything else. Which I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. It was factually messed up because that's what these people have to look horrible right now. Yeah, exactly. And by the way,
your video is lagging a little bit here and there. I just want to tell the audience we are aware of that. If there's anything, Dan, that you can do on your side, but there's a little bit of glitchiness from time to time that's cutting out some of your words. But anyway. I want to ask you a question, and then, Todd, it'll be your turn. I want to ask you about robotics,
because right now we're looking at AI and how the AI software, AI agents, and basically machine cognition on computers is replacing those computer jobs, you know, customer service, for example, or even writing prescriptions, which is mostly just a virtual type of job. But pretty soon, maybe in the next two years, we're going to have some very capable Robots, dog bots, humanoid robots walking around, you know, Elon Musk was talking about his bots,
China's blowing everybody away. You were just at CES. So can you please tell us, number one, two-part question, like I'm going to use Todd's strategy. Number one, what did you see with robots at the show? And then number two,
what's going to be the impact on our society once robots start coming in and doing these labor type of jobs? Well, I saw everything. And one thing that you would suggest is I look for cleaning robots and robots that could basically mop a floor. You're gonna see that in real time. And I saw that I saw a robot that could play pickleball with somebody. And,
You know, so you don't need to, you're not training with the machine, you're training with the robot that's trying to keep up with you.
You're going to see tasks like You've talked about weed pulling for your farm.
You're going to have things like that in the future where it's going to get rid of humans.
And right now it's just cost prohibitive.
It's training these things.
I saw sentries that would walk around and they weren't just a rolling robot, It was something that would scan your house and know, with sensors, what's going on.
And let's say you had a three or four bedroom house with a backyard.
If something was, you know, potentially a threat, whether something's in the backyard or came to the front of the house, the robot was the first one up. It was cool stuff that's in its infancy. But when that goes out, everybody's going to have that someday. You're going to buy a house and have a robot that's going to take care of everything. And I think it'll eliminate locking the front door with some of these things because it is,
you know, they can protect people in very, very quick ways. And it's exciting. It really, really is. But that home care, nursing, you know, like you mentioned, you know, prescriptions and doctors and things like that, you're going to have different things that will deliver prescriptions and check on patients and be able to see vitals. I went in to one booth that read my face and they're like, oh, here's all the vitals and they broke it down. And they go, wow,
your blood pressure is high and your breathing is off. I go, I held my breath for. Over the minute. No, no, no. I saw that. I was like, Dan, why did you hold your breath? I didn't know. I didn't want to move because your face is in this image. And I'm like,
okay. But it was very, very cool. And the thing, okay, here's the other thing is that dealing with everybody from Korea, they were the best foreign country because they had everybody that spoke perfect English. And I saw everything with robots. How about a robot that will swim in a lake and pick things up out of the lake? Wow. That debris and algae, Not just a little bit.
The hovercraft was there, but there's things like that.
And the idea with it is, the largest lake in Seoul has a huge robot.
Now they said this is cost prohibitive because this robot is about the size of a car and it floats through the lake and clears out the water.
But the water is crystal clear.
And they showed me and then you could looks like you could drink out of it by the time the thing got done with it and it's just maintenance at that point.
But the robots are here.
The robots are are only going to get better and better and better.
And uh, you know, I went to something called Unveiled early on the first night with my daughter and that was a lot of smoke and mirrors and companies.
That meant well, but i've seen this a lot with startups, where they're just it's just too early to be talking to anybody about anything.
You need to perfect things and know your costs and know your market and things like that.
But uh, there's a lot of robots, robots that'll play with your kids, robots that'll entertain your dog, and there's everything.
Well okay, can I talk about a segment of robots that concerns me?
Yeah, just like people are falling in love with their AI.
You know, I mean literally it's, it's a thing out there.
Um, I get worried about birth rates going down even further, because I think that you have people that are going to start relying on their robots for their quote -unquote relationships in multiple ways,
and I think it's going to lead to absolute spiritual emptiness. My question is, does that, I think, end game for some of these Druid Babylonian bastards that run the show? Does spiritual emptiness make societies easier to control? I think so,
personally. You know, I, for one, Mike knows this, I'm part of the senior dating tour and I like it. And I think there's nothing better than going out and meeting people and having a conversation, Having dinner and doing this.
But These kids today don't get it.
And again, you know, I can worry about my niece, nephews, and my children, because that's who I can make suggestions to.
But it's all about communication and being able to ask somebody out and not send them a DM on Instagram.
It starts with the Instagram model and goes to the robots and the loneliness and not leaving your home.
Because, I mean, you'll create a society where people will not date, they will not procreate, they will not have children, they will not have an interest to having children.
Yep.
And again, what an empty vessel that would be.
What a person that would be.
That would not be interesting.
I mean, I love dating smart, educated women. And, you know, I just couldn't imagine doing this. You can't do that with a robot. I mean, it's just not, it's not the same. But wait a minute. Some people will try that. In fact,
I want to ask you about CES because there's this whole spectrum of robot companionship that's probably going to emerge. We've seen it all in sci-fi. So on the low end, and this is a great question, Todd, on the low end, it's like a companionship that reads you stories or teaches you language lessons while you're cooking or whatever. It's a robot that can talk to you, right? It's a companion. It can ask you, how's your day going? You know, Whatever.
And then then there's mental health robots that can actually do therapy with you.
And then there's girlfriend robots.
A lot of the young men are they're falling in love with the AI chatbot avatars and whatever.
Now imagine that in a physical form, because there's this one Chinese company that put out a.
They put out a male and female figure robot.
It was a very convincing female figure robot walking across the stage and they have a male model too.
They want a sex bot in their home, and they're going to marry that sex bot.
There was a story out of Japan.
A woman married the AI avatar man, a simulated man.
Imagine when that's going to be in humanoid form.
So, Dan, did you see anything at the show in any of those areas? We saw things like that, but they were not functional. They were not, you know, and they looked like robots And, you know,
there were toys for your kids, there were toys for your dogs, all that stuff we talked about, the cooking stuff. See, stuff like that, I think, would be fun. It'd be nice to be able to say, oh, I found a TikTok recipe. Let's do it. Okay, Dan, let me tell you everything that's in it. How many people are you going to eat this? There's going to be three of us, okay? And then it would tell you how to make it. That would be cool. That would be fun. But as far as for dating and for, hey, baby, what movie do you want to see tonight? That's not. You know,
it's funny. I'm taking my girlfriend and I to the Duran Duran concert. You're kidding me. No, no, we are. And I got her those tickets for Christmas. But you can't do stuff like that. And the robot's not going to Duran Duran with me sitting in the fourth row. So it's not it. You know,
but I just, I just think that people need their social skills. I will tell you something when I have my medical conference. The greatest thing I ever did was I set up what I called MedTech Council. And what it did was it was a mixer company where we would have mixers, started it once a month, and then we had three or four of them a month in Orange County, San Diego, and LA. And they were places for people in the med tech, biotech,
and medical device space to come out and mingle for a couple hours and people would line up for it.
And I'd get 100, 150 people a night.
I would sell tables for $300 for the sponsors that would circle the room.
But every single person looked forward to those events because that gave them socialization.
And a lot of these people, a lot of these doctors, a lot of the nerdy types were not the people that were meeting anybody.
And this gave them a chance to come out and meet their peers.
And that's critical.
And again, that's the one thing, you know, plus you can make a, you know, I'm making a course on how to have, you know, events.
And the one thing is those one day medical mixtures that we did made a fortune and they were great.
But people love that for the socialization.
And that cannot fake that.
I would do it online during COVID.
It's not the same thing because once, once we click that this is done, it's done. If we were together in the same room and we finished the podcast, we would sit there and we'd have a cup of coffee and talk about how great it was and we would be able to, you know,
go through that. And people would, you know, they'd take the party afterwards, too. Again, I could talk for three hours. I think that this is the demise of civilization. Of what it is we do. Whether we use AI tools, as all of us do in some fashion, you know, we still, we have human compassion, we have human values, we are wanting to help our fellow human tribe members here,
the species on this planet. And that's never going away. But then there's this whole segment of people that want to merge with the machines, transhumanism, they want to achieve immortality. In fact, I was on with another Show.
They were asking me about that and I said no that's, that's too far.
You know you lose your humanity, but quickly.
What are your thoughts Dan, about?
You know, the whole transhumanism movement?
To go to Todd's point to start with, imagine if you had a kid that was in junior high and he grew up and he just relied on the AI robot and he didn't meet girls the way I did in junior high and have socialization.
That person's doomed socially.
I mean, they're done.
They're not going All of a sudden go to high school and meet women or college.
They're going to live in that bubble, which is a lonely bubble.
I mean, rejection, getting fired, you know, good and bad, girls breaking up with you. All that stuff is really important to socialization. This trans humanism is awful. It's awful to think about. It's, you know, come on, Mike. I mean, think about it. We got to work together because I had a deal that fell apart. People that promised me Something good came,
something miraculous came out of it. Let's put it that way. And that's what people don't get. You have to have the social, physical experience. The transhumanism and living forever and all that nonsense is just that. I mean, my, my father died, you know, 26 years ago and him as an AI robot wouldn't be the same guy. Oh man. Yeah. That would be creepy, but there's somebody promoting that kind of thing. But Todd, Back to you. Yeah. Do you want, like,
your long-dead relatives to come back as AI avatars and talk to you in your kitchen? No. No. That's why I'm surprising my wife with another dog. I'll take the dogs over the AI robots. You know, I just think, and we talk about it all the time, So,
it seems to me that there has to be some company out there, and maybe we should research it and find it. You know, I just wrote down a URL that's probably available, so I'll give it to humanity. But my AIU, just with a U,
dot com. It's probably out there. And I think that they're just, if I'm coaching my young kids, I mean, I'm just telling them to go to myaiu.com and go learn to be a prompt engineer and learn everything about it and just unleash your inner creativity in a very compounded way because you have access to this amazing technology. What do you guys think about something like that? Well,
first of all, let me just bring this up. I went to our book engine just now and I typed in vibe coding as a search. And so, it brought up, here's eight books on vibe coding that are free. Wow. So, you know, I mean, you can start. Oh, that is cool. Yeah,
and, you know, you can type in, obviously, you know, anything you want here. You want to learn how to, um, food preservation, right? Boom, you know, here you go. The Eternal Pantry, Self-Sufficient Homestead, Timeless Harvest, The forgotten pantry.
That's food that you uh, left a little too long, that has been reanimated in zombie jars, but anyway um knowledge, knowledge is free now.
Knowledge is free, like there's no barrier to knowledge because of AI.
Yeah, that changes everything.
It's a good point.
I'm gonna hit this out of the park right now, because what you're leading to and what Todd said, it's the one keyword, and that's creativity.
Creativity is something that you know, Mike.
Seriously think of it.
You and I have had conversations with you.
Our voice text back and forth.
Oh wow Dan, you brought this up and it made me think of this.
And that's what, that's what human beings can do.
Now, AI will not.
It will be clever, but it will not be creative like that.
And the creative spirit spirit, spirit.
you have to work on that. You know, my daughter writes books and hates AI writing. And all this stuff, and she does so many pages a day, and all these things that she does. And it really is fascinating, because the creative mind, the creative spirit, there's a lot of people that are going to resist this, but I just, that's the one thing, right there, is you just, it can be clever, but it can't be, it's the creative side that the human being can have,
I think is going to reach out. Level of detail you want to manage with your creativity, right?
So what your daughter's doing is great.
It's a perfect skill to actually be the architect of the words.
But then there's another level where you could say, well, I want to produce a hundred books.
Now I want to focus on the creativity of the book themes and I'll let AI do the writing because they're like how-to books, you know, it's not, not the same thing as, as a book that has amazing prose, it's instructional, right?
So you can choose that, or you could, you could say, well, now I want to manage, I want to run a library and then I want to have AI agents that decide what books to create for the library.
So now you, so you can participate at any of the three levels or higher or lower.
You get to choose what you want to do.
Two things.
Number one, I just bought the domain a couple of days ago, Dan's book club for that reason, because as I start to create things on the variety on engine, I'm like, you know what?
I just bought the domain a couple of days ago, Dan's book club for that reason, because as I start to create things on the variety on engine, I'm like, you know what, I need to have my own book club.
I need to have my own book club.
And that's so damsbookclub.com.
And that's so dansbookclub.com.
There's nothing there, but that's a cool site.
There's nothing there, but that's a cool site.
But the other thing is when you go to, I'm dating a criminal defense attorney who represents people, as she said, that have done heinous things.
And there's, I've asked her, have you used AI yet for legal research or anything?
And she said, well, she's a very good writer and she has not, she's done it for certain things to pull up cases and things like that.
But then I still go back and check it to make sure it's relevant.
And she also will write a motion.
like she wrote a bunch of motions in the last couple days. But knowing the district attorneys, knowing the defense attorney, knowing who's involved in everything, you know, changed how she wrote all that. And she goes, "AI is not going to do that for me, Dan. I've got to do that myself." And again,
but it's fascinating to learn that. It's also good, you know, like when you hear about the Reiner situation and what was going on there and having her explain why the attorney dropped out, what was going on. It was fascinating. But it's very interesting because it's helping. But there's certain things that cannot do,
and she's a perfect example of that, too. Yeah, yeah, exactly. We still need that human wisdom, that discernment, that experience, and that creativity, that spark that really, I think, defines us as human beings. And Todd, like you mentioned, the soul, the spirit of humanity is something that cannot be simulated. So I want to ask both of you, just because everything that both of you do is just tapping into that creativity,
and you're both so productive. What, in your lives, what does real freedom look like on the day-to-day for you both? Start with you, Dan. Real freedom is, you know, I consider my,
I'm kind of retired in the sense that I'm very lucky that I get to go out and create content every day and create news every day, and I just decide what i'm going to do and I and I say this all the time I don't think i'm going to shoot anything, but I drop something every day because you don't know what's going to happen in the economy, you don't know what's going to happen with silver gold, you know Minneapolis, everything.
It's just it creates something that brings out every day.
But I love the research.
I was a screenwriter, I wanted to be a screenwriter forever, forever and uh, really enjoyed the.
I would research white collar crimes and why a guy would do something to rip people off for $2 million.
It was fascinating.
But I think, oh, these are all smart people. Why don't they just, you know, do something legitimate? They'd make themselves millions of dollars and not have to worry about the feds showing up at their front door. And, you know, it's, I pretty much live in the dream right now. You know,
think about it. I, again, I said this earlier, the power of the ask. I, when I was dead broke, and I've told Mike this story, And I couldn't get people to come to my medical conferences. I had to give things away, whether it be a doctor, whether it be a venture capital firm, to get them to speak, to be part of the event. And I would do things in trade. And I got more out of that, out of my career, by the power of the ask and giving something for free. Not asking, not ever saying, "Oh, you owe me a favor," and never said that,
because now it's given me the ability to do this. But that, it's like meeting Mike Adams and to be able to talk to him and say, Hopefully we're going to work together someday. And then you build a friendship and you build it from there. But it's a good life. And I mean, to be able to call people like Mike, venture capital people, people in regulatory, people in manufacturing, people that have money that want to invest in, it's a great life. That's great. I got to meet you today. I mean,
this is fantastic. I can't wait to have a conversation with you. We bond on a different level. What about you, Mike? Oh, wow. Well, yeah, freedom, to me,
freedom is being able to choose whatever you want to do on any given day. You wake up and the day is yours and you decide what you want to do. But with that comes a great responsibility also. So there's never, I never spend a day Wasted, you know? I mean, I'm almost obsessive about this, even when I'm, if I watch a movie with my wife, let's say, you know, like,
we are both typically body rolling on the floor on yoga mats while we're watching the movie, because we're both into health and fitness, or I'm doing, you know, cubing at the same time or whatever. Like, I cannot just do one thing. It drives me bonkers. This is why when I was young and going through the school system was absolute torture. It was the most boring thing imaginable. And I would literally write computer code by hand on paper during school,
take it home and type it into my Apple II computer, and then start debugging the code in the evening. And the teachers were like, what are you writing? Secret codes. It's called BASIC. It's a computer language. You wouldn't understand it, but whatever. With that freedom comes responsibility. I know Dan and Todd, both of you would agree with that. It's like, you know, for the public, sometimes they think that the things that we do are easy or automatic or that we're lucky. I gotta tell you folks,
there's no luck involved in any of the success stories that we're sharing with you. It is hard work, dedication, it's failure, it's picking your ass back up when things go wrong. And every one of us have been poor, by the way. We've all been impoverished. Absolutely. And that was, you know, Mike, we've talked about this. That was, I learned more about that. And I'm glad that my kids saw the financial struggles up and down. And my daughter says, I like you a lot better,
Dad Rich now. But it's nice to know that you came from nothing and built it up. But it also reminds me that you can lose it too. You have to pay attention to it. I love it. I love doing this. I love,
I love researching the news. I love everything that we're going through right now in this economy. I think that we're going to have a difficult time before it gets better. But I just think it's, it's fascinating to be living through history like this. I really, really do. Yeah. And actually, I want to ask you about metals too, before, you know, before you go today, because you comment a lot about what's happening with banking and silver and gold. What's your current take? Well, I think right now, you know,
I'm very lucky that I have really strong people around me that have supported metals. And when I first started talking about metals and on my channel, it was $1,800 an ounce. And now it's gone up two and a half times that. And silver, you know, I've been buying since I was a kid. And I remember $50 an ounce silver. And now, you know, when you research silver, and the industrial uses alone, medical uses, antimicrobial. Everything about the reflective issues,
everything. There's not enough silver right now to get through. And eventually JP Morgan's going to get caught with suppressing the price, even where it's at today, at, you know, between 70 and 80. Let's just say that. You're going to see it go through the roof. Everybody that I've talked to that has speculated on this is like,
oh, you want to sell it? I'll buy yours. And you haven't seen anything. We easily see gold at $5,000. We see experts talking about $10,000 gold. Now, you can go online and you can see craziness about how in Japan, silver is $180 an ounce. I have never been able to verify anything like that. The price is the price, but it's going to go up much higher. And also, remember, we're being told one line, and it's funny,
I cover this today for my next video. and that is we're being told that the market is so good right now everything's great well why are metals going through the roof silver should be five dollars an ounce then if the market is at an all-time high uh people know that trouble is coming and that or we're in trouble right now and we just haven't figured it out yet see that's what's going to be so interesting about this I've even said this in my podcast. I've said we're going to have radical abundance in certain areas like free knowledge,
free books, AI, cognition in your pocket, ready to help you think through any problem at virtually zero cost. print,
you know, silver. So we're going to have abundance and scarcity side by side. Todd? Well, you know, be prepared. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Todd, to jump on. We're really, we need to be prepared for this because you don't need to be in debt right now. You need to pay off all your debt. You need to have an emergency fund. You know,
there's car dealerships going out of business. We have, you know, millions of cars sitting on car lots right That are not sold. There's 2024 cars. We're at 2026 now that have not been sold. You guys are going to be able to get the greatest deals on anything you want to purchase. But if you're a debt hound,
and if you've got, you know, you're loaded with debt, you're not going to be able to do it. There you go. We have to finance you for this. You want $20,000 off? No. So right now, you just got to go out and get yourself ready. For what you want to do. Research it,
and you'll be able to save a ton of money and make money during this time. Can I ask you? Go ahead, Todd. I'll do a follow-up after this. I was just going to say, Dan, can you explain to everybody watching why debt is the modern slavery system? Well,
let's put it this way. Let's say most people have wages, and they set wages, and they go out, and they get themselves caught up in debt, credit card debt and interest payments. I have people that write me and they're just slaves to that. And the greatest thing I the greatest day I ever did,
there's a guy named Chris Saka, who said something years ago that I heard and I thought, Oh, that's stupidest thing I've ever heard. And that was that he was his best day ever when was when he was at zero. And he didn't know anybody any money and he didn't have any money. And when I got to that point,
I totally understood. I'm like, oh my God, I can go do anything as far as a job. I can go do anything as far as a career. I can do absolutely anything right now. And debt is burdensome. We've all been in debt. We've all had sleepless nights with creditors and things like that. And it's not a way to grow. It's not relaxing. It's not free. Nothing is better than waking up and not having that,
you know, Money. Not owing people money. My girlfriend brought up such a great point the other day. Over the summer, I was at a concert with her, just a summer fair, and a couple walked up to me from Florida and they said, you know, our greatest day in the last year was we followed your advice and bought a used car and paid cash for it under $20,000. We don't have a payment. Everything we were looking at was, you know,
$15,000 more and we have this great car and we're so happy that we did it and they're on that trip. During that time. That's awesome. Debt is a killer. I'll tell you the greatest,
one of the greatest stories ever was a woman that wrote me furious because her boyfriend said, I'm not going to, we're not going to get engaged because of your student loan debt. And she goes, you need to talk him out of this. And I'm like, well, tell me about yourself. What's the problem? Doing what? Well,
I changed degrees. She never got a degree, by the way. She has $340,000 in debt, but she wants to get engaged to this guy and was hoping that I would talk sense into him. And she didn't like the answer that I gave her, which was to run. So anyway,
it's burdensome and nobody wants to live like that. Remind people your channel is called I Allegedly. That's just the letter I. I Allegedly. Or they can follow your videos on your new site,
newvideos.com. But can you give us, you've shared amazing stories about what you get just by asking. Just having the balls to ask. Can you give us the best story, the best ask that was ever fulfilled? I was having my first medical conference in January 2017. And it was right about the time Donald Trump was going to take office. In fact, it was the,
I think the, it was, I think it was January 21st, 2017. It was about 10 days out before the event. And I could not get somebody in venture capital and finance to speak at the event. Just couldn't, couldn't, couldn't. I finally got one guy who said, listen, I'll do your event. I'll do your second event. I don't know if you're going to pull this off. In the next two weeks. And I was offended. I was so hurt by that. And there was a man named Scott Hamilton who runs Executive Next Practices,
which was a big company that does events. And I met him at a place called The Cove. And I was walking through The Cove one day, just checking it out, you know, looking through the different offices. And I bumped into Scott Hamilton and I said, "Wow, Mr. Hamilton, you know,
I'm Dan Golk. I love your site and I love your events." Gosh, I'd love to have a cup of coffee with you sometime and just talk with you." And he looked at me and he goes, "Well, let's do it right now." So I sat down with Scott and we spent about an hour together. And again,
I was a competitor. I was throwing an event and he knew I was a competitor, but also this guy became a great friend of mine. And he became a good mentor and he has events around the countries. But 10 days before the event, I called Scott and I said, "I am doomed." I said, I've got this event. I just don't have anybody to talk about money. And he introduced me to Ken Hubbard at that time. And Ken has become the greatest friend. And Ken came and spoke. And then eventually, I think I had eight,
10 med tech mondays.
He spoke at all of them but one because of a sick relative.
But that guy has been the ultimate guy for money because a friend of mine a week and a half ago wants to buy a car wash.
What coin Operated car wash and i'm like you know I, I it's in my area, I just don't know anything about that and I call Canon.
Within 20 minutes have me connected with four other guys that have owned those that were there to help my friend.
That could get him SBA money because they'll land and had all these things answered within an hour.
Wow, so that's the best one.
And again it's again, it's the never asked him for anything.
We've worked together but then you get.
You know, I have dr, dr Ass Clown.
That was rude.
That was like hey, you're gonna let me speak.
you're going to do this, you're going to do that. And you'd have to bend to some of those guys because of their prestige. And, you know, but again, most people over 90%, 98% of them that you do something for, I'm telling you, I've been in an elevator before. And these people stopped me and thanked me and reminded me. And I could call a lot of these people all day long and ask them for favors. But Canon Scott Hamilton. That was one that just,
it just worked out and people love that guy. Wow. What a great story. But again, the power of the ask, it just takes some personal courage. And even, even at a car dealership, you know, obviously you don't pay the sticker price or, or a home, you know, buying a home, that kind of deal. You've given many examples of that. Go ahead. You know, well, no, it's like when I, you know,
it's funny. I told this story again today Buying the house that I'm in right now. And I was, you know, I was kidding myself a year ago. Last two years, I was looking at a house, a guest house and all this stuff. And I was going to invite Mike Adams and, you know,
Mrs. Health Ranger over to stay at the house. And it's going to be great. They're going to have their own guest house. And my oldest brother said, are you insane? What do you do? You're a single man. You're going to be single forever. Get a simple house that's done. Because I was looking at closures. Fixing it up. And I was going to spend two years remodeling. And my brother's like,
No, you just want to buy a house and move into it. And, and get a good deal. And the house I'm in, I mean, I found people that were moving across the country. And the greatest thing ever was they had two kids that were under 10. And they went to the elementary school that my kids went to. And I gave them an extra five weeks in the house that they didn't have to pay for. And I got the house very cheap. And did not use a real estate agent,
did it all on my own. So, yeah, it's exciting. But that's the thing. It's like, you know, deals. And again, I was approved for a loan that could have been much higher. And I bought something that I'm totally happy with. You know, one of my favorite lines is, want what you have. And I just think Over purchase,
Right, because we think it's gonna impact the Joneses somehow.
But man, oh man, if you just want what you have, it's like, uh my, my Jeep just went over a hundred thousand miles.
It's a 2008 Jeep Rubicon.
I freaking love this thing.
And my wife.
And my wife was like, well, so are you?
Are you gonna get a new vehicle soon?
And i'm like, no, this thing, my next hurdle is 250.
I want 250 000 miles in this thing.
That's a great.
That's the other point that I want our audience to get.
And, by the way Dan, I apologize for keeping you so long.
I didn't realize we went way over.
No no no, i've got, you've got me, as long as i'm not going to miss the Duran Duran.
Uh, we're good.
So okay, you guys can go as long as you like.
We're gonna.
We're gonna finish up here shortly but um, living beneath you know.
beneath your income. That's something that all three of us have also demonstrated. Yep. I mean, the last car I had, I drove it for 10 years. You know, I didn't care. And if people saw the house in which I live,
they would not believe how small and how old it is. And it doesn't matter to me. I live on a ranch. My home is the whole acreage. Right. I mean, I don't care. I just, I need a place to sleep. I need a kitchen that's functional. I don't care. I don't need a big mansion. So it's all about,
you know, when you live beneath your income, that creates wealth over time because you're not giving up everything to the banks. And then you can end up paying cash for whatever you might want one day. In fact, Some people are addicted to shopping. My problem is I forget to shop. I end up wearing old shoes so long I'm putting shoe glue on them because I forget to shop. I could buy anything I wanted, sure, But I that's not.
I don't have time, i'm too busy.
I gotta build more apps.
You know that's my life.
So Mike, while you're vibe coding, you're not thinking about the next set of fancy pants and lollipops that you're gonna go acquire.
No, i'm just but Dan, you know what i'm saying.
It's like it's about your value system and it goes to you know, Todd brought up a great point about the debt.
It's just not living in debt.
And everybody young, my assistant who just got married.
I just like, do not use your credit cards.
do not do anything. You just want to be able to go out and not have that stress. And, you know, people with the student loan debts, people with, you know, people that write me. That make over $300,000 a year. And they've said, you know, we're in such a bind that if we missed a paycheck or two, we would be finished. Imagine you spend every single dollar. Oh, that happens all the time. I've had, I've had multiple people. I mean,
dozens and dozens of people over the last few years that make over $200,000 that are broke. I've had people, you know, then you get the guy that shows you the bank statement with, you know, $4 million. And I just don't know. It's like, I don't know why you're sending me this,
but it's funny that you have people that just don't get it. They just don't. There's a freedom to this, Mike. Mike, go. You know what? Go teach a yoga class tomorrow. You can go do whatever you want. And it's funny. I'll tell you a story that Mike knows this. And my lawyer girlfriend has a Toyota RAV4. That she bought brand new in 2010. It's got 286,000 miles on it. But she bought a Tesla,
and I always wanted to get a nice Tesla, and she drove it for 14 months, and Mike knows this story. She was in a parking lot, and somebody clipped the back end of her car, and the problem with it was it just ripped off the fender,
and the computer wasn't working that good. She took it into Tesla. And they said, well, you need to go to Tesla collision. And they totaled the car. And it was a scrape. And it was unbelievable. But I explained to her, I said, listen, counselor, you're going to get a lesson from your insurance company where they're going to screw you. And she's like, oh, that's never going to happen. And sure enough, they tried to pay her next to nothing for the Tesla. Well, you know,
Teslas are not in favor right now. And she was so furious that they did this, so she goes, I remember what my boyfriend said, and I'm going to deal with this. And within 15 minutes, she got $37,000 for the car. They offered her $27,000, and then they went up over $10,000 with one phone call. Wow. Nice. Doesn't own a Tesla anymore. She got rid of that. Wow. Wow. Okay. Final point I want to make to our audience here, and I think our audience shares this with us,
but what you've been demonstrating both of you dan and todd today what we've been discussing really is a mindset of resilience adaptability and creating your own success creating your future i guarantee you you take any of us or all three of us if you stripped away all of our money assets everything threw us in the middle of a city and said start over we could all start over we could all rebuild from zilch you Because it's a mindset,
and that's what I want to, this is the key to the show, decentralization. It's about having that self-reliance and knowing that you can create from anything, even if you have nothing. It's the mindset, that skill set, that knowledge and wisdom that can give you, help you create the future. And Dan, I just want your comments, you know, feedback on that, or any final words you want to say before we wrap this up with you. You know, the thing that, I got a birthday present for my And he bought me an iPad. And I said,
oh, you know what? I'm going to dedicate myself to learning new things. And I'm going to use this device for 100% knowledge and not watching cat videos and not wasting time. And that's what I did. And my appreciation for knowledge was always there, but it increased so much. And the best thing that you can do is teach yourself something new, learn something new, and get knowledge right now. You want to use? AI,
teach yourself something. Teach yourself by coding. Teach yourself a new skill. Go get some therapy. Go do something. I will not be using that for therapy. But I'm telling you, I think that it's an exciting time. And I think it's great. I think knowledge is power. And Mike, I mean, if you think about Mike, just use the last 90 days, the stuff that you and I have shared back and forth. It's just fascinating. And Mike will say something to me and I'll be, "Oh wow,
that totally opens my eyes to something new." So just go out and learn new things, guys. Dedicate yourself. Dedicate yourself to the first quarter of 2026, learning something new. And, you know, we're all living through this financial debacle right now, but you're going to get through it and you're going to be fine. And make sure if you're in debt, make sure you have an emergency fund. Yeah, great advice. Todd,
your comments on that before we wrap up? Just to share my New Year's resolution is I'm going to try to get through at least three hours of Netflix every evening and increase my knowledge accordingly. No, I just think I like what you said, Dan. I mean, we just have to wake up every day and build habits that build sovereignty. Right? And I think that, Mike,
the last three years, can you believe we've been at this for three years? It's amazing. The last three years, you know, when people go back and look at all of our guests, just like today's interview with Dan,
it will be timeless. It will be as relevant in a year as it would have been a year ago. So I just really highly encourage people, if you really, Have a daily habit to build sovereignty. Why don't you start from the first episode of DTV and watch it and learn. They're timeless and there's so much gold in there. So this anyway,
I really enjoyed this, Dan. Yeah, we'll continue this conversation, Todd and Mike. Thank you so much for the invitation. And I am so excited about newvideos.com and where it's going. And I cannot wait to share it with the world,
and it's very, very exciting right now. Awesome. Well, Dan, I'm thrilled to work with you on this. Exciting to help you launch your new site, newvideos.com, and I think we can't keep you from the Duran Duran concert any longer. You're starting to look hungry like the wolf right now, actually. I think you're going to enjoy those front row seats. I didn't know they're still touring. They just came back out and again, my girlfriend, like she said, oh my God,
I've wanted to see this guy since I was 11 so she's in her 50s and she's getting the dream fulfilled. That's awesome. Alright, well thank you Dan so much. It's been a pleasure. We really enjoyed the conversation. Thank you guys. I truly appreciate it and Happy New Year to everybody and make sure you check out I Allegedly at YouTube and I will see you guys very soon. Thank you Mike. Thank you Todd. You're welcome. Cheers. Thank you,

You know, he's just he's just a regular guy. You could you just know that if if if you went and had a beer with him, you know,
you'd just have an awesome time. And probably three hours later, wonder where the time went. You know, yeah. We talk about everything. I really enjoyed meeting him. I'd never met him before, so that was a pleasure. Thank you. And one thing I want to mention with him off the show is that he's also a person of very high integrity. Otherwise, I wouldn't associate with him at all,
especially in the world of finance. And we've all seen this. You've seen this in crypto, these ass clowns. Usually younger guys that are like, it's going to go to the moon! I'm going to buy a Lambo! And they're dressed up like rap artists with all their guts and everything. It's like, oh please. We are not interested in that. This is me talking like you. What I am interested, can you pass me that glue? I've got to glue my shoe. Glue my shoe back together. No,
look. I'm not making this up. This is my shoe that I'm wearing right now. I gotta put more glue on it. I love that. This is just literally this thing is beat to hell and I'm too busy to buy another pair. I love that. It's just like flippity-flop. Oh,
you're wearing flip-flops. No, I'm wearing shoes that are disassembling. themselves. And you've seen the movies where some of these ladies who love their shoes, they go into, they have a huge closet just made for their, just their shoes. And it'd be funny to do a mirror where Mike Adams shoe closet, and it's like two pairs of shoes that are all glued together. It would be like the shoe graveyard,
actually. The zombie shoe living dead, rising up. Yeah, I've worn shoes way past their best buy date, you know, or use buy date. Anyway, but back to Dan for a moment. See, he's got integrity and he's very conservative about his financial advice and information. It's very refreshing in this time where so many people,
they want the shortcut to everything. Give me the shortcut to riches. Give me the shortcut to eternal life. Give me the shortcut to, you know, whatever. And I think one of the big messages of our show today is that there are not shortcuts. There are smart strategies. There are ways to be more efficient at getting there. But there's no free lunch. Everything is earned. Yes. And what we teach is the smart way to get there,
you know? But it's still earned. There's no magic answer to your life's problems. Yeah, I remember way back when, when I was in college and I was in the summer between my sophomore and junior year and I got this job that I was going all over the country and I was trying to sell yellow page advertising to college phone directories. Crazy,
right? And that literally required starting at one end of the street. You know, business street and going in from bank to gas station to pet store to whatever and talk, right? And that, I believe, sucked a lot. It was so hard. You got so much rejection. But I look at it today, Mike, and I look back and I'm like,
that's what shaped me. It was like I arrived at that place to where I didn't mind a no. I didn't mind somebody just dismissing me because I knew it was all math. It was one step closer to a yes. And that then fueled my desire to do more than most,
better than most in a shorter period of time than most. And that stayed with me the rest of my life. And I believe to this day, I operate daily with that tenet in mind. And when I see everything that you're doing, Times a thousand, right? And so I just, I really, really want to encourage people to challenge yourself, right? Challenge yourself to do more than most,
better than most in a shorter period of time than most, and just see what happens. And let me put another phrase on top of that, because what you say is nailing it. I would add, I think we now need to reinvent ourselves. Very rapidly. Almost every year. I mean, think about it, Todd. The job that you used to have a few years ago,
that job no longer existed. You had to reinvent yourself. Absolutely. And I even have this conversation with my own team members here at what we do. Sometimes people ask, why are you doing all these AI projects? I'm like, because we have to reinvent ourselves. The way people are going to ingest information is rapidly changing. We can't be successful by still doing things the old way,
year after year after year. We have to totally change things up, and we're doing it. I mean, this, like the book site, you know, brightlearn.ai, as of today, Did you know we've had three -quarters of a million visitors since we launched it?
That's crazy.
It's wild.
And look here, like here's a book, somebody just published the Fenbendazole protocol.
Like, you would never find a book on that in a bookstore because the publisher wouldn't touch it.
You know, this is probably an anti -cancer, that's right, that's right, using Fenben uh, over the counter, and.
But this is just an example.
Like, and todd, think about this show even right we've, in essence, we've reinvented this show from where we started.
Yeah, I mean, it was mostly at first it was all about, like Crypto and, you know, financial technology, and now it's so much more.
Now it's more of a universal decentralization.
Yeah, it really is.
It really is, and the guests are getting better and better.
Yeah yeah, yeah.
And I do want to touch on one thing though Mike, and that is the fact that this, with all of this change and I, when I, when I'm talking to people man, I hear it is it's really challenging out there right, because the world is changing so much and people, some people are kind of hopeless, you know, and uh, what Dan said about the power of ask.
Yes, I just want to interject a little bit of Supernatural here, and I was just thinking of that.
As he was talking about that, I was thinking about man.
When we all get to that point to where we're just feeling hopeless right, or whatever, The most powerful power of ask is just simply two words, Mike, and that's, Lord, help.
That's a good point, Right?
Ask.
Yes, the highest ask. Yes, yes. And I just think that, you know, people are looking for hope out there. And so, sorry, I didn't mean to take it back to that, but it's just, I want everybody to just I at least believe in a higher power,
God of the Bible, and I'm telling you, He is ever-present, and you can ask for His help, and He'll deliver. And I feel that every single day. You know, I think that human creativity is a divine experience. Oh, yes. I mean, you know, where does that come from, right? So, you're walking along. And boom, an idea pops into your head, and you think, like, oh,
that's my idea. Well, what if it was given to you, actually? It was given to you by angels or God or the universe or some creative force that you're tapped into. I don't mean to make this really philosophical, but I absolutely believe that a lot of this comes from outside of us. We're just conduits, you know? Part of my prayer structure is I ask for God's wisdom,
but most importantly, I ask for his discernment, which is just what you said. It is like, I'm nothing with God's wisdom imparted upon me if I don't understand it, right? So I need a little supernatural help, you know,
picking up what he's putting down, right? Yes, yes. And that discernment, I also want to remind our audience that this year, 2026, Have a lot of discernment about who you choose to work with or to partner with or even have a relationship with. This year,
to me, 2026 is a lot like a mirror. It kind of shows you who you are. If you're a person, for example, if you want to use AI as a distraction, as a form of entertainment, you want to get lost in your AI girlfriend or boyfriend, yeah, it can give you that. You can be that person. But if you want to use technology in this time in history to maximally express your greatest creativity, your inspiration, your mission,
then this year can give you that too. The only difference is how you choose to use it. This is the year of the mirror. I like that. Yeah, that's great. So when I look in the mirror, I'm going to make sure I have my mullet wig on, Mike. Wear the mullet. The year of fun, too. Keep it fun, as we always do. We do, Mike. We do, in the after party. So, yeah. Look,
it's crazy. It's a new year. I think 2026 is going to be just nuts. I think it's going to be freaking nuts. And there's no place I'd rather be than exploring said nuts with you, Mike, on these shows. I don't know if that's a compliment or what, but yeah, I'll take it. There's one thing I forgot to mention that Dan told me off air, and it probably wasn't appropriate for the show. He won't mind that I mention it,
but one of the companies that he saw at the CES show had an AI diaper monitor. Oh, gosh. So, remember the year of the mirror. So, if you need AI to tell you when you shit yourself, then technology might not be the solution. For your situation. I'm just saying, sorry about the profanity, But there are things we don't need AI to tell us.
If you shit yourself, I don't need the internet of things in my pants to go to the cloud of what just happened.
you know you know again i apologize i didn't mean to make this put it in the gutter here but that's a thing somebody's selling the the did you shit your AI cloud computing system?
Yes, they are.
That's a true story.
That's a real thing.
On the packaging for it, they have a dog.
They have a dog on it.
And it's the shits you, uh, breed.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a great breed.
actually. Oh, so there are going to be some misapplications of technology in 2026 and beyond. Apparently. We need to have that discernment. Stack silver. By the way,
speaking of precious metals, I do want to put out there into the universe because everything is appreciating. Well, association can help you tremendously in the long term.
I'll just leave it at that, Mike.
That's a little breadcrumb for people, but you want to make sure you have a strategy in place for at the point in time when you do liquidate, how to keep way more of what you earn.
Well, let me double down on that.
Actually, I'm going to bring up your website, my575e.com, because, you know, Rick Rule, who's one of the top silver guys, he's talking about there's going to be a day where even he's going to sell his silver.
Now, I will probably never sell silver.
How do I know what the market's going to be?
That's not my focus.
But a guy like him, he knows what's going on.
So he might sell and then buy.
He's going to do some long Gold or silver.
My goodness.
You need to look at the My575e .com website.
Talk to Todd.
Book a consultation with him.
Book a consultation, Get the lowdown on this.
Get educated.
Because imagine all the gain you're going to have from that sale.
If you don't put it in a UNA, all that gain is going to end up on your personal Social Security income statement and your taxes next year. Yep. You're going to pay a fortune. There goes like 40% of your gain. You're going to send it to Washington, D.C., And they're going to send it to the Somalis in Minneapolis.
Right.
Exactly.
Just endless fraud and fraud and fraud.
It's like, for God's sake, keep your own money, or at least let your nonprofit keep it.
You want to talk about that?
And it is lawfully, keep it.
We're using the rails that they've created, And there are just of the dollars that you would have sent to Uncle Sam that ultimately find their way to your local library kindergarten, reading school in the form of a drag male tranny.
Not that I have anything against that, but I just think that I can do better with those funds than USAID. Well, you can hire trannies directly if you wanted to. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Let's get the middle man out of there. You don't need a middle, a middle,
is it a man? A middle woman. Good point. Is a middle trans man. Good point, I don't judge. Not judging, you don't need a middle person to hire a trainee for your children's birthday party. My personal pronouns are, middle finger.
And I made good on that promise.
That was the first book I created on the Bright Learning Engine.
Yes, you did.
It was How to Awaken Your Inner Middle Finger.
That was beautiful.
That was like your first book.
It was the first book, yeah.
The very first book.
Yes, yes.
But anyway, I just encourage people to become educated.
Start with the free education at my575e.com.
You just go there, enter in your name, email, and hit let's go.
And you are off to the races.
And you can watch the 90 -minute video of me interviewing the subject matter expert in the whole country, Dennis Gray.
And uh, he's just an amazing man, 82 years old, the youngest 82 year old i've ever met.
You guys will love him.
He gives a great interview and uh then if uh, you still have questions, you just scroll down a bit.
Boom, there you go.
You can book a private consultation with me and love talking with you.
I love talking with everyone Mike, and I do have amazing people yeah, 98 of them have come are are Our show, but you, Mike.
I mean, how many people have told me I have been following Mike for 20 years and everyone's like, you're like E.F. Hutton. When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen. Mike, when you talk, everyone listens. I've never been compared to E.F. Hutton, but I'll take it. When you vibe code, everyone vibes. Thank you for that,
Todd. But I want to thank our audience for all their support and the fact that, you know, we put real authenticity behind this. And it took me a long time to study and understand the UNA vehicle. You know, I mean, really, It took me quite a bit of time.
To figure out exactly how this works, how it functions, how it protects people's assets.
And the thing is, we're in this inflationary period where all commodities are just skyrocketing right, and so you have all this so -called gain, when actually it's the dollar collapsing.
So silver itself isn't really much more valuable, it's just that the dollar is collapsing, but then the IRS wants to take a big part of your so -called gain.
That's, that's a scam.
I think we have an obligation to legally keep as much as we can, while working in accordance to what is codified in the rule of law.
That's right.
I always joke with people when I'm talking to them.
I'm like, I share with him that when you and I first started this, I approached you and I'm like, man, this show is dedicated to, you know, decentralized living.
And I can't imagine helping anyone decentralize their lives in any more powerful way than helping them keep more of what they earn, protect what they have, the assets and decrease their personal liability.
And and I say, so Mike did what Mike does and he became a UNA expert.
He went for a six week deep dive.
hired a tax attorney out of California that came up back with the due diligence. That was such a funny time. I'll never forget it. And then you gave it the thumbs up. And ever since, you know, gosh, I think I'm we're approaching about 500 people have acquired these. So, uh, it is, it's so funny. Um, I do, I do so much due diligence behind the scenes. People may not even know that I know, but Let me give you a good example of this. Again,
people don't know all the deals that I turn down and all the partners I turn down, etc. So a few years ago, somebody came to me with vitamin B12 patches that you just put on your skin and then, as they say, the vitamin B12 is absorbed through your skin. And so I said, that sounds awesome. I would love to look into this. So I start conducting due diligence. And of course, I'm asking,
How does your manufacturing process control the dosing? And so how do you know how many milligrams of B12 is applied to every, let's say, square centimeter of this sheet of stickers? And they could not answer that question. Wow. And yeah,
like, well, we don't really know. All we can confirm is that there's some amount of B12 somewhere on the sheet. And that's not going to fly. I can't go out and talk about B12 stickers and you don't even know how much is on there. Same thing with, there was a silver textile company that I partnered with briefly and we were trying to scale up the manufacturing and I was asking. You know,
how can you control the concentration of silver that goes into these textiles? And, I mean, I spent hours and hours and hours on this with our lab tests and everything, and at the end of the day, their answer was, we can't guarantee anything. We just, like, the textiles are dipped in the silver solution, and what happens from there, we don't control it, so we don't really know. Well, then, I can't sell that. Right. You know? Yeah, no. Meanwhile,
And I love this story, I remember you going through your own due diligence of melting down goldbacks to verify that.
True.
Right?
Yes, In a kiln.
And then running that through the mass spec instruments.
And then we confirm the gold content averages 102 % of what's claimed.
Exactly, Exactly.
Yeah.
So that's your level of due diligence.
And I tell you know, because people don't here's the thing.
Just like they don't teach nutrition in medical school, they don't teach unas in CPA or law school.
So true yeah, and and so you know these are new, they're very undiscovered, I mean, even though they've been around for over a half century.
And I just uh uh, tell people that man Mike, it's like Dennis always says, if you're going to acquire a UNA, don't worry about it. If you're going to worry about it, don't acquire the UNA. These were created by California legislators for California legislators a long, long time ago,
right? And what I love best about them is they are lawful. It is doing, unlike, you know, taking yourself out of the system or just tax revolt. Stop paying taxes. No, you still pay into Caesars. You just keep more of what you have. And I think that's the power behind this, Mike. I don't know if you heard my podcast on it, but I think towards the end, I said that, you know, folks, your accountant,
and I'm not bashing any accountants watching this. Your accountant will probably say this thing doesn't exist and it's not real. But also, your same accountant probably thinks that flu shots stop the flu. So, you know,
I said you should get your information from people who know things. Right. Right. Right. And honestly, we know things and our audience knows things. We are the best informed group and community on this planet. We know things. We know the important things. And because we do the due diligence, We do the research.
In fact, don't you have to like, don't you have a consultation coming up in minutes?
Yes, how long do we have?
Nine minutes, that's okay.
Okay, nine minutes but todd, we know stuff.
Yes, like that counts?
Okay, it's not.
Yeah, and I want to tell you something.
I'm not trying to expose anything, but yesterday I had a consultation and every once in a while you have somebody that is one of these gotcha people, right that they're just wanting to to ask gotcha questions.
That they're just wanting to to ask gotcha questions.
So he had his Lord And Savior, chat gpt, up and he was.
So he had his Lord and Savior, chat gpt, up and he was.
He was telling me how these UNAS work.
He was telling me how these Una's work.
Right, per chat gpt, oh right, which isn't trained on.
No, it's not trained and it's all about the prompt.
And i'm sure, as he was prompting, he wasn't saying California established Una's and all of that anyway finally, I just I just got a little bit ticked and i'm like stop, stop.
Do you, do you want to tell me how these work, or should I tell you how these work?
I mean, how does the secretary of state of California approve these if they're not real?
How does the IRS give you a tax exempt tax id number that you take to the bank and open a bank account?
and the bank says, yes, no problem? How does all that work if it's not real? You know what I mean? Yes, but I'm bringing that up because this is what you were talking about. Come to people who actually know, right? And you know me, Mike. I never evangelize anything that I haven't done myself. I just don't. And that's why on some of these consults, like there's some people that have these really complicated trusts and things like that,
or specifically big agriculture and things like this and with big equipment and everything. And I'm the first to say, I don't know. I don't know. I don't have any personal experience. Right. Yeah. But I said, you know, We can try to find out.
And that's where I'll learn more.
I'll become smarter.
Right, but i'm not Tadra Damas, i'm not Una Jesus.
I don't know everything, but I have the intent to be able to find the answers.
Right, but 95 of the stuff Mike, I know well.
Yeah, and because you've helped so many hundreds of people through this process, you've you've encountered every question.
But let me uh, let me change the subject for a moment here in the last few minutes um, and I apologize for just brainstorming here publicly, but I want You and your wife to come to Texas and I would love to have you here in person and we should do a decentralized TV marathon event.
I love that.
In the studio for, I don't know, a day or two, whatever. We should do back-to-back interviews and we can have guests come in or have them remote. You and I should be in the same studio. Let's do that. Done. Done. Okay. Let's plan. We will plan it out. My wife would love it. She loves you and you love my wife's voice. I love your wife's voice. She has a great voice. What it is about her. She's Russian,
ethnically, right? Yes, she's Russian, but she doesn't sound like a Russian, like Ivanka Trunk, that hard Russian. She has just this beautiful, melodious voice that I don't know where it came from. It's wild, yeah. Her voice is really quite mesmerizing. Did you meet her over a voice encounter? Did you fall in love with her voice first? That's my question. Did you? Yes,
quick story. And the dude for my consultation, I will call him back. But I'll just tell you the story. This is a true story. I had gotten divorced and about three months after the divorce, a guy who did some manufacturing for me, I lived in Nashville, North Carolina at the time, he was in Washington, DC. And he and his wife, Barb, they reached out to me and they said, Hey, Todd, you know,
I know it's kind of, I hope it's not too soon, but we just think there's someone in this world you should know.
And I'm thinking, okay, DC, Asheville, it's about eight hour drive.
That's not too bad.
And I'm like, okay, cool.
And he goes, I'm just going to send you her email and her phone number.
And she's way better looking than you and way smarter.
And so if it works out, you owe me.
And so he sends my wife's information to me.
And it was a .ru email address.
And I'm like, hmm?
She lives in Moscow?
What is going on?
Well, I didn't even think that far.
I wasn't that smart.
And so I sent her an email saying, hey, Yana, my name's Todd Pitner.
and I attached a picture, and Bob and Barbara told me to reach out to you, and anyway, nothing. I didn't get anything back. I felt like such a schmuck. But then the next morning when I woke up, because it's a 10-hour difference,
you know, from Florida, I opened up the email and she's like, hey, this is Yana Shvedova. I am a PhD historian and I teach at the Ural State University in Ekaterinburg,
Russia. No kidding! What? And I said, and she said, yeah, when Bob and Barbara were over here, I was their translator, and I translated all of the Kodak documents because Bob built out all the Kodak labs in Russia back then. Wow. And so I'm like. And then she attached a picture,
and she's more beautiful than even her voice is, right? So then I was like, how do I talk to her without going broke? You know, because it was expensive back then. So that's when I got Vonage. Remember Vonage? Oh, yeah. Yeah. So Vonage allowed me to be able to speak to her, so I would speak with her. Uh, I'd call her in the morning and, and, and ask her how her day was in the evening. She would ask me how my day,
then we just got to know each other by voice. No way. I did not know that. Within six weeks, I was flying into a Katterberg. I, six weeks after that first email, and I kid you not, As God is my witness, I was just so smitten with her.
She's so smart.
And so at the time she had a 14 month old baby.
You know never, never got married, just she.
She made the decision she wasn't gonna keep that baby.
So she had her baby and so she couldn't come to the airport and meet me.
What she did was she sent her friend.
So I ended up going up nine flights of stairs because her elevator was broke, you know, uh and nine flights of stairs, and I knocked on.
When she opened the door, I just needed to verify that it was her, right?
That she sent me this picture, and she was just so nice and sweet, Within 30 minutes, I mean 30 seconds of seeing her visually, I got on my knee and I asked her to marry me.
What, What?
And the very, very next day, we went.
All around Ekaterinburg to find her an engagement ring.
And I got her the biggest engagement ring that we could find.
And it was a third carrot.
That was, that was the biggest one back then.
Wow and so so uh yeah, that's a story.
And then it took like a year and a quarter to get her uh you know, the fiance visa and everything for she and and Vlada to uh fly over here and this coming uh week anybody watching this?
If you try to book anything, any consultation from the 21st uh through the 27th, Please know, I'm taking my wife on a Caribbean vacation. You can't book time with me during that time, but it's because we're celebrating our 20th anniversary, Mike. Wow, congratulations. I never knew that about you and your wife. I never knew. That's extraordinary. But it started by voice. I just fell in love with her voice. Well,
that's funny, because I've actually never seen your wife. I've never seen a picture of her. Oh, you haven't? No, never. I've only heard her voice. Wow. I'll message you tonight. I'll send you some pics so you can put a face with it. No,
keep it a secret. Wait until you two show up in person. Okay. There. Deal. Yeah. Because I just know her by her voice in the background when you're talking to me and she's saying stuff. Yeah. Or sometimes she'll send a message that you guys do together. It's great. That's a fascinating story. Thanks for sharing that with us. You're welcome. Yeah,
well, I love telling the story because it was just, people can't believe it. Literally within 30 seconds, I dropped to my knee. And the weird thing is, Mike, she said, yes. That's wild. Wow. Okay. Well,
that, that topped. You can imagine, you can imagine me coming back from, from Russia and all my friends and family. And I'm like, Hey, I'm getting married. They don't,
how could they possibly know the depth of the relationship that you had already built over that time, you know? I always think, I'm like, you know, there's that old tale of sometimes we're split in two spiritually,
And when we find our other half, you just know, and it's kind of that love at first sight or whatever, and and it's to me it's still crazy to this day to think she literally was any Catherine Berg Rush on the opposite side of the globe.
That's wild, you know.
And that we both just uh, just our conversations and everything.
It was just like we knew from the first conversation.
We just knew that's amazing wow, 20 years ago.
But I am getting her a baby sheep -a -doodle that comes in the 15th.
So after next week's recording, I'm going to the airport to pick up this little 8 -week -old sheep -a -doodle to give it to her for our 20th anniversary.
Wait, what's a sheep-a-doodle? Old English sheepdog and a giant poodle. And I didn't know you didn't know this, but I have a very famous Instagram dog. His name is ZammiePup. Z-A-M-M-Y-E-P-U-P. Mentioning that. He's huge. He's a children's hospital therapy dog. He has like 120,000 followers. It's nuts. Really? Way more popular than me. And so he just turned 10. And,
you know, he's just a treasure in our life. And so I thought, man, I found a breeder that has this puppy that looks just like Sammy did when he was that age. So yeah, It's going to be a nice surprise.
I have a dog too, but we don't unleash him in children's hospitals.
Different kind of dog.
You invite people onto your property who might want to steal things and you and you're such you're so gracious you give them a, a meat necklace around their neck right and then you release the hounds.
Yeah, oh man.
Well, we look, We all learn more about you today.
Thanks for sharing all that with us.
That's a very inspiring story.
You're welcome.
So those of you out there who are losing hope, maybe you've lost a love or whatever, you know, just check on the other side of the world. That's all. Yeah, that's true. That's a really good point. You never know where inspiration can be found. All right. Well, I know you have a conference or a consultation. You're already late. Three minutes ago. So, So just let me remind the audience, check out all the other episodes at decentralized.tv.
And Todd's website, again, is my575e.com.
And let me bring up our book engine is at brightlearn.ai right here.
And I have also launched brightanswers.ai.
Here it is.
This is the new upgraded AI engine with research.
And there's 100,000 science papers now that are used in the index of the research for this.
And so it's the best AI search engine ever.
That's a bright answer.
That used to be, you used to call it Enoch, right?
One and the same.
This is much better than what Enoch ever was, but it's the same lineage.
that's right. Yeah, okay, that's awesome. Congratulations on that. Oh, man. You are just a blessing to humanity, I swear. I mean, what you've delivered in this past year is just mind-boggling. Well, thank you for that, and I feel like I'm just getting started. This next 12 months is going to be really fun. We've got a lot going on, and I have a vibe coding person now that I hired, so maybe I'll get twice as much done. Man,
it'd be awesome. I don't know. I just envision you with your glued shoes on at 2 a.m. Yeah, with my AI shit diaper detector,
just in case I work too long. You know, alert, alert. Oh, crap. I forgot. No, sorry. That's just totally uncalled for. That's how you know you've worked too long if you actually shit yourself. And,
Mike, I do have to tell you, a lot of people talk about it, that they appreciate this part of the after parties because we crack people up. Everyone loves it when we go off the rails. And we can't help it. It's not even planned. It's just the natural progression of our creativity gone,
run amok, I guess. But we should probably end it before we get into any more trouble. Yeah, let's just plug our sponsor, brought to you by ShitsU. ShitsU.ai. When you need a second opinion. ShitsU.aiper. .aiper. No,
I like it. When you need a second opinion. When you're not sure. And you need a second medical opinion. And cloud computing may help your local situation. Cloud computing. There's a cloud,
all right, but it's not computing. You can download that AI that'll tell you that you've just taken a shit. You can download it to your diaper, Mike. That's part of what you bring to the table. We decentralize shits you. Where is this going,
man? I don't know. We should probably wrap it up, my friend. We probably should before it gets too biological. Alright, everybody, keep it fun and apologize for all the profanity today. Until next time,
stay free, stay informed, and use all these tools to make your life better. It's going to be the year to get that done. So thank you, Todd. It's been a pleasure. Thank you, Mike. Alright, have fun with your conference. Cheers. Okay, see ya. And thank all of you for watching. I'm Mike Adams, Brighteon .com.
