	All right, folks, welcome to Bright Telemachine Broadcast News.
	It's Wednesday, January 14th, 2026.
	I'm Mike Adams, and yes, yesterday I went pretty hard after Trump for some of the, well, attacks on Greenland and Venezuela, etc.
	But, well, you get the idea.
	Some of it's kind of infuriating to me as someone who really is a rule of law person.
	But today I decided to interview Tom Luongo.
	And Tom Luongo has a very different point of view on this.
	And I'm going to play the interview in full today with no edits.
	I mean, no, like, no cutting out what he says.
	There might be an edit for coughing or a glitch or something like that.
	But no content edits.
	And I made a point to really let Tom talk.
	And he just went for it.
	And I did not interrupt him except just a few times.
	And he laid out over about 75 minutes his view that, and I'm going to put this in a nutshell here, in good faith.
	I'm trying to give you what I think Tom Luongo is saying.
	And I respect his opinion.
	He's a very smart man.
	He's very well informed.
	He and I share a common love for laboratory science.
	He's a chemist by trade, etc.
	You may not have known that.
	Anyway, we have a little talk about chemistry and lab stuff.
	But he believes that all of this is necessary and it's justified because we are at war with the British crown and the globalist, I don't know, crime cartel.
	And that the only way that Trump can defeat the globalists is to do things like take Greenland and take Venezuela and control the oil and control the resources, etc.
	So this is the empire view that America has to become a big badass empire to defeat the British crown, which is the source of tremendous evil and suffering and corruption and censorship and war and all this other stuff.
	And I agree with Tom on the point of how evil the British Empire is.
	No question about it.
	But my question in response to this whole conversation is it seems like America is becoming the evil empire that we're trying to defeat.
	That's my point.
	It's like if we lose our soul as we are beating the bad guys, but then we become the bad guys, then what have we accomplished?
	See, I think that the means don't justify the ends.
	And I don't think America has the right to invade Greenland or conquer Greenland or force the people to give up their country.
	And that's because I believe in the right of national sovereignty.
	So that's where Tom and I differ.
	But I'm going to play that full interview for you today, and you can hear his detailed explanation of what's behind all of this because he's very impressed with what Trump is doing.
	He's saying Trump finally got off his ass, basically, and starting in January here, has done the things that needed to get done in order for America to have a chance at defeating the globalists.
	Well, maybe he's right.
	Maybe he's got a more thoughtful view than I do.
	So I just wanted to bring you that and give you this sort of honest assessment.
	And of course, as always, you can make up your own mind of what you think is happening and where we are.
	Now, what's relevant to all this is that earlier today, the premier of Greenland said, well, he held a press conference with, I don't know, the leader of Denmark, whoever that is.
	And he said, in essence, quote, we prefer to stay with Denmark.
	We don't want to become American.
	And a, or we don't want to become a territory of the United States.
	We want to stay with Denmark.
	Now, that's not the voice of everybody in Greenland.
	Maybe they should put it to a vote, you know?
	And as I told Tom Luongo in the interview, I said, look, if the people of Greenland hold a referendum and take a vote, and if they vote to become a territory of the United States, then fine.
	I have no issue with that.
	I believe that the people of a nation have every right to determine their own destiny.
	If they want to vote to leave the EU and join the United States, yeah, go for it.
	But I don't think that the people of Greenland want that.
	I mean, I don't know.
	Maybe Trump could incentivize them with either cash rewards, you know, the carrot, or the stick, the threat of military invasion.
	Kind of like, hey, hey, people of Greenland, you could each walk home with a million dollars, let's say, which isn't what it used to be, but you could each have a million dollars, or we'll bomb your country into oblivion and just take it anyway.
	So it's not much of a choice, is it?
	You see, it's not much of a choice.
	It's kind of like, huh, either Trump could turn Greenland into Gaza, which he would be happy to do, or we could keep our cities intact and each have a million dollars and let the U.S. run its military bases here.
	Huh?
	What are we going to do?
	Well, that's going to be interesting to see what Greenland decides to do.
	But again, in my view, if the people of Greenland, I mean, if Trump makes them an offer and wants to buy Greenland from the people, and if the people largely agree, I don't even know what would be the appropriate percentage.
	It seems like it should be at least a two-thirds majority, maybe more.
	But in whatever way, if the people of Greenland agree to that, then I'm okay with it.
	That's just a purchase.
	And purchases have happened before in history, like, you know, home, the Louisiana purchase, you know, the Alaska purchase.
	We bought it from Russia and other purchases.
	And then there was conquests and, you know, the Mexican-American wars and conflicts all throughout history, etc.
	But a lot of the territory that now exists in the world in the boundaries of whatever country it, quote, belongs to, was purchased.
	So that's not out of bounds.
	I'm not against people deciding to sell their country if that's what they want to do.
	All right.
	Anyway, Trump was very much annoyed by the Premier of Greenland saying that we prefer to stay with Denmark.
	And Trump was asked about this by a News Nation reporter.
	And here's his response, which is a little bit funny.
	On Greenland, sir, the premier of Greenland said today, we prefer to stay with Denmark.
	Do you see that as the final word?
	The premier of Greenland.
	Well, that's their problem.
	That's their problem.
	I disagree with him.
	I don't know who he is, don't know anything about him, but that's going to be a big problem for him.
	Do you want to see democracy?
	So there's Trump.
	This is really hilarious.
	Trump's like, you know, he's told the premier of Greenland said, we don't want to become part of the United States.
	And Trump says, well, that's their problem.
	I disagree with him.
	Well, so what?
	It's not you to decide it, Trump.
	It's not your country.
	You weren't elected by the people of Greenland.
	You know, the arrogance of Trump right now is something else that rubs me the wrong way.
	It's like, come on.
	Come on.
	What if China said, well, we want America to be part of China?
	We want to control America.
	And Trump stood up and said, no, we're not going to let China control America.
	We are America.
	We're going to stick with America.
	And then China's president, Xi, says, well, I disagree with Trump.
	That's his problem.
	You know, that's how crazy it would be.
	So, and then Trump says, that's going to be a big problem for him.
	And so immediately, whoever this guy is, the premier of Greenland, is thinking, am I going to be kidnapped like Maduro in the middle of the night with a U.S. super secret soldier helicopter raid?
	And the answer is probably yes.
	You probably will be kidnapped and tortured because we are in the post-rule of law era.
	We're in it.
	It's a global free-for-all right now.
	And there are no rules.
	And that's something that Tom Luongo also said in the interview that, well, actually, he said, there have never been any rules.
	It's always been might makes right.
	Now, again, I would push back a little bit and say, well, that doesn't mean that we should pursue that.
	It doesn't, you know, just because everybody else is pursuing might makes right doesn't make it right for us, especially when we pretend to be a, quote, democracy, when we pretend to promote what's called the rules-based order.
	Like, we pretend that there are rules and that we are advocating for freedom for the world and, you know, that Russia is evil because of their unprovoked war of aggression with Ukraine.
	But when we invade and conquer Greenland or Venezuela or whoever, oh, that's not an unprovoked war.
	That's freedom.
	You know, it's completely Orwellian.
	Like, war is peace.
	You know, lies are truth.
	I forgot how the quote goes.
	War is peace.
	Freedom is slavery.
	Yeah, I think that's part of it.
	So Trump is just quoting Orwell at this point.
	You know, war is peace.
	Like, we need Greenland.
	So we need to conquer Greenland in order for us to have peace, in order for America to be safe because it's designated a critical strategic asset for America.
	Well, couldn't Trump and his people claim that for the whole planet?
	Like Earth is our strategic asset.
	So therefore, we now claim all of Earth.
	Or the universe.
	The Milky Way is ours.
	And we have to take the Milky Way before the Russians take the Milky Way.
	Or, you know, the moon.
	We have to conquer the moon before China conquers the moon.
	So the moon is ours.
	Well, I guess you would have to go there first.
	And I mean, whatever.
	That's a whole different podcast.
	But this logic that we have to conquer these countries before somebody else does, that's Orwellian in my view.
	Anyway, you'll get to hear the entire conversation with Tom Luongo, and I think you'll find it really fascinating.
	There are different ways to look at all of this, for sure.
	And you know, at the same time this is happening, Trump is openly encouraging the people of Iran to essentially overthrow their own government.
	So Trump is calling for an insurrection after all, just not in America.
	He's calling for an insurrection in Iran.
	Well, it begs the question, doesn't it?
	If America conquers Greenland, would the people of Greenland have the legal right to defend themselves against America's aggression?
	There's a question for you, especially those of you who are Trump supporters or have been, and you understand the right of self-defense, and you understand that every person has the right to defend themselves against kinetic aggression, for example, you know, firearms and all that.
	Does a nation, any nation, have the right to defend itself against a conquering, invading foreign force?
	And unless you're insane, the answer is yes.
	Of course, every nation has the right to defend itself.
	Thus, if America takes Greenland by force, and then there are Greenland resistance groups that start to kill U.S. soldiers, would you be in favor of that on principle?
	Or would you oppose that because they're our soldiers?
	There's a question to ask yourself.
	I'm not going to answer that question.
	But the way you answer that will determine whether you are a person of principle or whether you're just part of the, you know, America F yeah tribe.
	See, it's you can actually learn a lot about yourself in this whole process.
	Do nations have the right to defend themselves against aggressors?
	And obviously, you know, you can point to Ukraine and Russia, but that's a very complicated history there.
	Very complex because, well, a number of reasons, but Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union before the breakup in 1991.
	But also the people of eastern Ukraine are ethnic Russians and voted themselves to join Russia, right?
	So that's different.
	If Greenland votes to join the United States, that would be different than the current situation.
	But if not, would you support Greenland's freedom fighters to kill United States soldiers and let them bleed out all over the snow?
	There's a question for yourself.
	And whatever your answer is there, ask yourself a similar question.
	If China invaded the United States, do U.S. citizens have the right to kill Chinese soldiers on U.S. territory?
	What's the answer to that question?
	Now, that should be obvious.
	Well, of course.
	Of course Americans have the right to kill foreign invaders who are attacking as part of like an organized army.
	I'm not talking about just unarmed illegal immigrants or individuals.
	I'm talking about an organized foreign army coming in, you know, blasting through the border, maybe from Canada or from Mexico or landing on the shores of California, pulling a D-Day on America.
	If Chinese troops start to unload in California, do you, as Americans, or those of you who are, do you have the right to shoot and kill those troops in defense of your nation?
	The answer is obvious.
	Of course you do.
	Do the people of Greenland have that same right for their nation?
	If your answer is no, then you are not a person of principle.
	Just simply put.
	So think about that very carefully.
	Do the people of Japan have the right to defend themselves against a foreign invader landing on the shores of Japan and trying to take over the country?
	Of course they do.
	Do the people of Zimbabwe have the, of course they do.
	Do the people of Papua New Guinea have the right to develop?
	Yeah, of course they do.
	Everybody does.
	It's obvious.
	But like I said, it is now a global free-for-all.
	We are in the run-up to world war.
	And I recorded a special report earlier on that very topic.
	I want to play it for you now, which also gets into a little bit of how to navigate this.
	Because no one is coming to save you.
	No government's going to save you.
	No corporation is going to save you.
	No law is going to save you.
	No court is going to save you.
	The entire system is broken.
	In fact, before we get to that, I want to share with you something really interesting that I tweeted out earlier today.
	And for some reason, this went rather viral on X.
	It's pretty simple.
	Here it is.
	I said, silver is almost $89.
	Monero is $657.
	Yeah, that's wild because I remember buying it at $140.
	Wow.
	Gold is over $4,600.
	The dollar is collapsing.
	The Constitutional Republic of the United States of America has been shredded and abandoned.
	The rule of law is dead.
	The America you and I once knew is gone forever.
	Next stop, the great taking.
	Those in power will trigger a currency reset and leave you penniless and homeless if you don't own precious metals and private crypto.
	Those are your only remaining lifeboats.
	And that message resonated with a lot of people today because that's what people are experiencing.
	The American people, by and large, are becoming more impoverished.
	People are finding it more and more difficult to afford basic costs of living, to afford food, to afford insurance, to afford, in some cases, housing, and many other things.
	Everything's more expensive.
	And yet we're told by our government that, no, prices are going down.
	See how cheap gas is?
	Okay, yeah, I do see how cheap gas is, and that's important.
	But you buy more than just gas.
	You can't eat gas and drink gas and live in gas.
	You have other costs.
	You got to buy food and you got to pay for housing, etc.
	But of course, the government statistics, which are wildly dishonest, they don't consider the cost of food that people really buy as part of their inflation calculations.
	So their calculations are a total fraud, just a complete deception, as you would expect.
	So yeah, no one's coming to save you.
	And the American people do not feel safe right now.
	They do not feel well off.
	They do not feel wealthy.
	I mean, most of them don't.
	There are a few that are getting more and more wealthy.
	But the average American right now, I mean, talk to people.
	I talk to people.
	They're not happy, not doing well.
	They're concerned.
	They're concerned about the dollar collapse.
	They're concerned about war.
	They're concerned about nuclear war in some cases.
	They're concerned about Trump just blowing through all limits on presidential power.
	And they're concerned that Congress isn't acting at all to put a check on the president and the power of the executive.
	So the American people are very, very concerned right now.
	And tensions are high.
	And not just on the left, but also among a great many Trump supporters.
	And of course, the growing chasm of independence.
	So give a listen to this special report, and then we'll continue on the other side with an interesting discussion about the human brain being a mobile processor.
	So stay tuned.
	We have now entered the global free-for-all era, where it's save yourself because nobody else and nothing else is coming to save you.
	No corporation is going to save your health.
	No government is going to save your freedom.
	No central bank is going to save your currency or your life savings.
	It's a free-for-all.
	What you're actually witnessing right now all across the globe is a mad grab for everything, everything that's still standing.
	Resources, oil, minerals, silver, gold, land.
	I mean, what do you think Trump's up to right now?
	Grabbing greenland.
	It's about controlling routes and resources.
	Venezuela, it's routes and resources.
	I mean, even look at China, for example, building military bases on the islands near the South China Sea in those areas.
	It's a free-for-all.
	Everybody's grabbing everything they can grab.
	There's no rule of law.
	There's no law whatsoever, not internationally.
	Even Samsung, you know, bought up this defunct silver mining operation in Mexico.
	Going to reinvigorate that, get all the silver they can.
	Corporations are involved in a mad grab.
	Banks are trying to grab everything they can in terms of assets and get all the handouts from the Fed that they can.
	This is it.
	This is a giant grab for money, resources, and energy.
	And why?
	Why have we reached this stage now?
	Why is all this happening?
	Because the music is about to stop.
	We're going to witness, I believe, a global fiat currency collapse.
	Many fiat currencies at the same time or very close to each other.
	The dollar won't be first, I don't think.
	I think it could be the Euro.
	It could be the yen.
	China's got currency problems.
	They've been printing like mad recently.
	Massive quantitative easing on their part.
	I think over $80 trillion of their currency.
	But yeah, the dollar itself will also eventually collapse, as will most fiat currencies.
	We're entering an era of a reset of the understanding of what is money and what is value.
	That's why the paper markets are topsy-turvy right now.
	Massive volatility because paper isn't real value.
	Paper silver, ETFs, even Bitcoin ETFs, they have really zero long-term value because of counterparty risk.
	What matters is the stuff you have.
	Do you really control the oil wells?
	Do you really control the mines?
	Do you really have the gold, the silver, the oil, whatever it is?
	The land, the ports, the canals like Panama Canal.
	Do you really have it?
	Do you have the rare earth minerals that are needed to manufacture military weapons?
	Do you have it?
	If you don't have it, go home.
	Because it's all coming down to this mad dash.
	And why?
	Well, not only has the delusional era of fake money and fake value and fake everything.
	That era is coming to an end, but also it's a grab in preparation for war.
	We're going to go into an era of global warfare.
	In fact, we've already entered it.
	Trump's right there playing the war games right now.
	He just did with Venezuela.
	He's about to do it with Greenland.
	And there are many other examples coming.
	But probably there will be war escalating with Russia and then additional war escalating with China at some point.
	And Trump is going to do the best he can, I suppose, to gather up as many minerals and resources as he can find.
	But at the end of the day, the U.S. doesn't have enough to be competitive with either Russia or China in any kind of a drawn-out conflict.
	So almost certainly, the victor of this war is going to end up being, well, China.
	Russia will hold its own.
	China will emerge as the dominant global power.
	I don't think there's anything that Trump can do to stop that.
	I mean, Trump can assert and project power in the Western Hemisphere.
	Yes, he can control Panama.
	He can control Venezuela.
	He can maybe even control much of Canada if he wants to.
	But he's not going to be able to defeat China or weaken China.
	You can't do a regime change in China like they're trying to do in Iran.
	And even that's not working either.
	So as I see it, this is America's last desperate attempt to maintain Western hegemony in the world, maintain the dollar dominance, maintain U.S. military dominance, and it's all going to fail.
	And let's look at why.
	Number one, Trump's tariffs are motivating other countries to stop using the dollar.
	Number two, Trump's economic sanctions against other countries.
	Well, some of those were Biden's sanctions, and some were even Obama's sanctions that are still pending.
	Those sanctions are encouraging other countries to find a different settlement system outside the dollar.
	Number three, the U.S. is decades behind on military technology compared to Russia and China.
	Even Iran has advanced missiles that are on par with U.S. missile technology.
	And Russia's hypersonic missile technology and Oreshnik missile technology is at least a decade ahead of the United States.
	China also has achieved massive efficiencies in low-cost hypersonic missile engineering and design and manufacturing that allows them to make hypersonic missiles for as little as, I think, $100,000, which is less than one-tenth the cost of what America would spend on the same kind of technology.
	Reason number four, I don't believe that America can be industrially reinvigorated.
	Now, interestingly, I just interviewed Tom Luongo on this very point, and Tom Longo differs from me on this view, and I respect Tom's analysis, so it's worth considering, of course.
	Tom thinks that Americans can be retrained to work in the new factories.
	But, you know, I've hired and fired young Americans, and I don't think that they want to work.
	I don't think they have a work ethic.
	They don't have a work discipline, and they don't have even basic skills that you and I might take for granted for the most part.
	There are exceptions to this, of course.
	There are some very capable young people, but by and large, the younger generations don't know how to do anything with their hands because all they've ever done is, you know, social media on their mobile phones.
	So they don't have basic hand-to-eye skills or even reading skills.
	Illiteracy is widespread and there's not a strong work ethic.
	So I don't think that we can just suddenly build factories and put millions of Americans back to work.
	Then again, you know, Tom disagrees with me on this point, and maybe there's an element of both of us being right.
	Maybe the answer is somewhere in the middle.
	But I'm not convinced yet.
	So we'll just have to wait and see what that looks like.
	Reason number five, regardless of what Trump is doing internationally, the American people are suffering under extreme inflation.
	And that's because of all the money printing, which is a massive government fraud, you know, laundering operation, obviously.
	And because of this, the American people are increasingly impoverished.
	They cannot afford food nearly as much as they used to be able to.
	They can't afford rent.
	They can't afford house payments.
	They can't afford health insurance, etc.
	The cost of living is rising dramatically.
	And all these things that Trump is doing, such as taking over Venezuela or threatening to take Greenland, this isn't going to help Americans be able to afford the things that they need to live on.
	It's not going to make life in America any more affordable.
	And that's going to work strongly against the GOP in the coming midterms.
	And I don't know what's going to happen in the midterms.
	Some days I think that the GOP is going to get blown out because of the stupid things that they're doing.
	Other days, I think that the Democrats are even dumber and are so horrifically bad that people will reject the Democrats even more.
	So even my own view of what's going to happen keeps wavering day to day.
	So I don't know.
	But one of the things that Tom told me is he believes that the vote fraud has been largely rooted out of the system.
	I'm not convinced of that yet, but I'm open to that idea.
	Patrick Byrne told me that part of the reason Trump went after Venezuela was to attack the headquarters of the black box voting fraud with the vote machines.
	And I hope that's the case.
	But my answer to both of those men would be, hey, if the Democrats count the votes in their own districts, and if they're committed to cheating, they're going to find ways to cheat.
	They're just going to print ballots and stuff ballots regardless of what the machine is doing or regardless of what Trump is doing, the vote fraud is still going to happen.
	So Tom Longo told me, and I actually agree with this point because I've said the same thing as well, that probably Trump will have the military count the votes.
	Yeah, that probably needs to be done.
	We need the military to count the votes, especially in the blue cities, because you can't trust Democrats.
	They will always cheat.
	They are cheaters by definition.
	Democrats cheat.
	That's the only way they stay in power.
	So I think we need the military to run the ballot counting.
	And in order to do that, though, Trump needs an emergency, a big emergency, to justify troops counting the votes.
	So what kind of emergency would that be?
	Well, probably seeing the radical left go even more insane and have an armed uprising or an attempted armed uprising.
	It probably won't be very successful, but they might try it.
	And so that's probably coming.
	And I think Trump actually sort of tactically needs that to happen in order to declare the emergency and deploy the troops before election day.
	So I'm predicting that we're going to have a real civil uprising probably by summer, maybe during the summer or maybe before the summer.
	And this is also going to harm confidence in the U.S. economy.
	And that's going to shake global confidence in investing in the U.S. infrastructure.
	So for all those companies that Trump is saying, hey, they're going to invest all this money into factories.
	Well, if the cities are burning, you know, who wants to invest money in the factories?
	You see?
	So this could be a problem.
	And also, who's going to have continued confidence in the dollar when the dollar is rapidly eroding because of all the money printing and because of civil revolt in America?
	So it's a very careful balancing act.
	It's almost as if Trump needs just enough civil revolt to declare an insurrection and use the military to count the votes, but not so much of a revolt that the cities burn and foreign investors flee.
	So I don't know where that middle ground is.
	It's like, I don't know, it's a polite revolt or something, half-revolting revolt.
	I don't know.
	But I guess we're going to find out if that's achievable.
	Now, in essence, a lot of people say Trump is winning right now because of defeating Maduro and seizing assets from Venezuela, seizing Greenland, etc.
	They think Trump is winning and they say this is good for America.
	But are the lives of the American people any better?
	Are the American people able to afford more?
	Are they holding their jobs or losing their jobs overall?
	How are the people doing?
	Are they happier or are they more angry or more defeated?
	And I dare say the answer to this is not good.
	The American people right now are not doing very well.
	Costs are going up.
	Incomes are going down.
	They're losing their jobs.
	Some of it's AI replacement.
	Some of it's just economic implosion.
	Trump's tariffs, I would argue, are making this far worse.
	Trump's tariffs are resulting in job losses and product scarcity as well as inflation.
	Nobody believes the government's official numbers on inflation that just came out at 2.7%.
	That's a laughable clown show joke.
	And the fact that Trump and his press secretary are out there saying, oh, inflation is only 2.7%.
	It proves the tariffs didn't cause inflation.
	Yeah.
	Actually, it proves that you are mathematical idiots because you don't obviously know anything about numbers and stuff and inflation and the cost of living because I guess none of those people ever go buy their own food anywhere.
	They never go shopping.
	They never have to buy insurance.
	So, or they're just lying.
	In either case, we know that inflation is getting worse.
	We know that the day-to-day experience of living in America is getting worse for more people.
	Not better.
	I mean, just think about the people you know.
	Are they doing better or worse compared to two years ago or five years ago?
	Most people are doing worse.
	Not everybody, but most.
	Most people can't afford what they used to be able to afford.
	People are downsizing.
	They're selling off homes or cars or whatever.
	They're cutting back on discretionary spending, and that's being seen across the economy.
	I don't know of any retailers who are doing better other than like dollar stores because people are rushing for low-cost, low-end products that they can afford.
	But the bottom line is the American people are not doing better.
	So unless Trump manages to turn that around in the next, what, 11 months or 10 months, then it's not going to look good for the GOP on election day.
	And the other factor in all of this is that why should anybody support the GOP when the GOP hasn't managed to arrest anybody who engaged in treason against this nation?
	Nobody's been arrested and charged with election interference for rigging the 2020 election, including Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Google was involved in election rigging.
	They committed treason.
	And instead of them being arrested, they get invited to the White House.
	So instead of Trump holding these leaders responsible for their actions, he rewards them with multi-trillion dollar contracts to give them more technology and power over the American people, even though they committed treason.
	And that's very frustrating for former Trump supporters to witness.
	Like, hey, we voted for Trump to come in and clean house, arrest the traitors.
	Remember, build the wall, lock her up.
	Well, the lock her up part has been completely abandoned at this point.
	And yes, Trump and Tom Holman have removed perhaps as many as 2 million illegals out of the country, but that's less than 10% of the number of illegals that were brought in under Biden and Mallorkas.
	You know, 20 million or more.
	Well, especially if you count some of the Obama years as well.
	So you could argue there's some progress, but not enough.
	We're going to find out, though, this coming November, we're going to find out where we are in this country.
	And there's a lot that can happen between now and then, so I can't call it yet.
	But I will say the GOP have not given me any compelling reason to vote for them this year.
	And the Democrats certainly have not given me any kind of reason to switch and vote for them either.
	So if the election were held today, I wouldn't vote at all.
	Maybe that will change between now and November.
	But I'm not going to play this game of just, oh, you have to vote for the Republicans because they're the lesser of two evils.
	Yeah, I'm tired of voting for two evils.
	I'd like to vote for somebody that's actually going to keep their promises and do what they said and work for America instead of some other foreign nation that controls the entire administration.
	How about that?
	But in any case, I guess we're going to see.
	We're going to see where all this goes.
	Bottom line, stay prepared, decentralize.
	Make sure you're squared away with your own money, which would be gold and silver, maybe private crypto.
	Have your own land, have your own house, own it free and clear.
	Have the title to it.
	Grow your own food as much as you can.
	Create your own medicine or stockpile it.
	Have your own knowledge.
	Use our AI tools at brightanswers.ai for your AI answer engine, your research engine, or brightlearn.ai for your book creation engine.
	And now 20,000 books that have been created there, and they're all available free of charge.
	So take advantage of these tools.
	Also, brightnews.ai is our new news website.
	Used to be called censored.news.
	Now it's brightnews.ai that has AI analysis of the news and some more features are coming soon.
	So check it all out.
	Use the tools.
	Stay informed.
	Get off grid.
	Decentralize.
	Whether I'm right or wrong on any particular point doesn't really change the strategy.
	Let's just prepare for things to get crazy, ugly, prepare for civil war, prepare for international war, prepare for supply chains to crater, prepare for the power grid to not be reliable, etc.
	If you prepare for all those things, you're going to be ready for whatever's coming.
	Good or bad or somewhere in between, it's going to be ugly.
	Just get prepared.
	Thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams here, the health ranger of brighteon.com and naturalnews.com.
	Take care.
	All right, welcome back.
	We're continuing today's broadcast, and I promise to talk to you about the human brain as a mobile processor.
	Oh, this is going to be good.
	So I've got a video to play for you.
	So here's a short clip from a guy named Shane Legg, L-E-G-G.
	He's the co-founder of Google's DeepMind operation, which means he worked for one of the most evil corporations in history.
	He's the chief AGI scientist, apparently still at Google.
	That's disturbing.
	But nevertheless, this isn't about how evil Google is.
	This is about what this guy is saying.
	Shane Legg says that the human brain is a low-power 20-watt mobile processor constrained by biology, and we're about to be dwarfed by AI capabilities.
	Now, let's give this guy a listen because even though I obviously have issues with his employer, it doesn't mean that this guy is wrong about what he's saying.
	In fact, I think he's correct.
	So let's give this a listen and then I'll have some commentary.
	And the human brain is a mobile processor.
	It weighs a few pounds.
	It consumes, I think, around 20 watts.
	Signals are sent within the brain through dendrites.
	The frequency on the channel is about the order of 100 hertz or maybe 200 hertz in the cortex.
	And the signals themselves are electrochemical wave propagations.
	They move at about 30 meters per second.
	So if you compare that to what we see in a data center, instead of 20 watts, you could have 200 megawatts.
	Instead of a few pounds, you could have several million pounds.
	Instead of 100 hertz on the channel, you can have 10 billion hertz on the channel.
	And instead of electrochemical wave propagation at 30 meters per second, you can be at the speed of light, 300,000 kilometers per second.
	So in terms of energy consumption, space, bandwidth on the channel, speed of signal propagation, you've got six, seven, maybe eight orders of magnitude in all four dimensions simultaneously.
	So is human intelligence going to be the upper limit of what's possible?
	I think absolutely not.
	And so I think we, as our understanding of how to build intelligent systems develops, we're going to see these AIs go far beyond human intelligence.
	In the same way that, you know, humans, you know, we can't outrun a top-fuel dragster over 100 meters, right?
	We can't lift more than a crane, right?
	We can't see further than the Hubble telescope.
	I mean, it's, we already see machines in particular areas that can, you know, fly faster than the fastest bird and all these sorts of things, right?
	I think we'll see that in cognition as well.
	All right.
	So Shane Legg there says, I think we'll see that in human cognition as well.
	Of course, he's correct on this point.
	Absolutely.
	In fact, I would argue we're already there.
	I would argue that the best AI right now is much more capable than average human cognition at nearly all tasks.
	And as I've pointed out before, that's not a big deal of a milestone because most humans are stupid.
	I mean, seriously, most humans are stupid.
	I saw an IQ chart today.
	Someone was posting it around online.
	And it's a bell curve chart.
	And so you can see the distribution of human IQs under the curve of the bell curve.
	And so apparently somewhere around 100 is an average IQ, which that alone is scary.
	That the average human just has an IQ of 100.
	The chart is frightening for a number of reasons.
	Like even my own IQ wasn't even on the chart.
	It was so far out of the upper limit of the bell curve that the curve of this chart didn't even extend to my IQ.
	And compared to LLMs, my IQ is nothing.
	I mean, compared to where LLMs are going.
	So like you and I are vastly more intelligent than most human beings.
	And yet even we have minuscule intelligence compared to what's coming from machines.
	So of course machine cognition will vastly outpace human cognition.
	To me, that's self-evident.
	Because look, human cognition is not magic.
	It's actually physics.
	Now, I'm not talking about human inspiration and your connection to the divine and consciousness, which taps into non-material phenomenon in the universe and so on.
	Those are different.
	But your brain connects to the non-material side through a mechanism that science doesn't yet understand.
	Nevertheless, your brain, your local processor, is physics, not magic.
	And it's electrochemical information propagation.
	It's holographic storage.
	It's holographic, you know, it's neuro-linguistic relationships.
	That's how we learn language and use it and speak and listen and comprehend, etc.
	And the truth is that the human brain is not a very big processor.
	And you know why?
	You know why?
	Because of childbirth.
	Because if the brain got any bigger, mothers wouldn't survive giving birth.
	That's why.
	So the limit of human cognition is determined by the birth canal size of a female human giving birth.
	And that size is limited by biology.
	It's limited by the ability of skin and muscle to stretch and of bones to temporarily separate and stretch, etc.
	There are physical reasons the brain can only be so big.
	And in a brain that's only so big, you can only fit in so many neurons.
	There's a physical limit.
	And within those neurons, you can only do so many things.
	Now, granted, where the human brain beats the machines right now is in orders of magnitude better efficiency of using those neurons with a very low amount of energy, estimated 20 watts for the brain.
	That's pretty incredible, considering that we do have geniuses who are only running on 20 to 25 watts.
	That's really something.
	So the brain is able to do so much more in terms of tasks with so much less energy compared to AI systems.
	But that advantage won't last forever.
	And Even if the human brain is always more efficient, as Shane Legge is explaining there, the data centers can scale.
	So what if they use a thousand times more energy than a human being to achieve super intelligence?
	They can just burn the power.
	Now they've built superintelligence.
	Well, I mean, theoretically in the future here.
	Now, in my mind, nothing reveals the widespread stupidity of humans more than their lack of comprehension of AI technology.
	I've never seen dumber people than watching people comment on AI.
	Even when people were commenting on COVID and vaccines back five years ago, whatever, six years ago, that was some pretty stupid stuff, but today's comments on AI are dumber than ever.
	Like, for example, I hear people say, well, this mass investment in AI infrastructure, you know, this is never going to generate the revenue to justify the investments.
	Like, where's the revenue going to come from?
	You dumb creatures, it's not about revenue.
	It's about a race to superintelligence for world domination of the last technology that humanity ever needs to invent.
	This isn't about revenue.
	See, people come at this from the business world.
	Like, where's my quarterly dividend on inference costs?
	You know, like, you dumbass, that's not what this is about.
	This is the final race to the final invention of humanity.
	That invention is super intelligence.
	And whoever achieves that first dominates the whole world.
	And every other technology becomes irrelevant.
	You understand?
	That whoever achieves superintelligence first then dominates physics and chemistry and finance and inventions and materials science and rocketry and freaking, you know, faster than light travel teleportation.
	Who knows what?
	Photon torpedoes.
	You know, super intelligence unlocks the secrets of the universe.
	This isn't about making revenue in the third quarter of 2027.
	But humans are so stupid, they can't see past that.
	They think, oh, it's overinvestment.
	No, it's a race to superintelligence.
	And as proof that it's not that hard to beat human intelligence, you hear people think that building AI data centers is about earning revenue.
	It's not.
	Like, yes, I get frustrated at the stupidity of humanity every day.
	And you know, it won't be long before you'll have an AI machine cognition module in your pocket that's smarter than a human with an IQ of 130.
	And that's already sort of the top tier of human intelligence, believe it or not.
	That's like the, I forgot, maybe that's the top 5% or something.
	And even that is going to seem stupid compared to what these machines can do cognitively.
	So think about what this means for the world.
	I mean, really, let's all use our 20-watt little human brain mobile processors together and think about this.
	What does it mean when machine cognition vastly surpasses human cognition and then it becomes edge compute devices that are smaller than a human brain, but smarter than a human brain?
	They can fit in your pocket, etc.
	What does that mean?
	It means that human cognition is obsolete.
	Human cognition is obsolete.
	And what does that mean for the plan of the globalists and the leaders of the nations?
	What does it mean?
	It means massive human extermination will be accelerated.
	They don't need people anymore.
	Because why do they need people now?
	They need people's cognition and they need their labor.
	They need their muscle and their brains.
	And the brains are replaceable very soon.
	And so the issue of building data center infrastructure, it's not about can data centers make a profit.
	It's about who has the infrastructure, who can build the ultimate super weapon.
	I mean, come on.
	Let's just backtrack for a second.
	The Apollo missions.
	NASA.
	Did we launch Apollo missions and allegedly go to the moon for science?
	Does anybody, is anybody dumb enough to believe that?
	Oh, we did it for science.
	We want to explore the universe.
	You know, it's the Star Trek intro.
	To boldly go where no man has gone before.
	No, it wasn't.
	It was to achieve space warfare dominance.
	Period.
	There's no other reason behind the Apollo missions.
	It was a secret space weapons program.
	And there are space weapons now because of that.
	And whether or not the Apollo astronauts actually stepped on the moon or whether that was filmed on a fake stage is kind of irrelevant.
	They certainly made it into orbit and that was the goal.
	Get to orbit, build out a bunch of space technology and use it to threaten the other countries and build satellites, etc.
	And that's what has happened since then.
	It was a space race for military purposes.
	And I understand there's a fairy tale comic book version of history that we were all told like, oh no, we just, you know, we want to explore the cosmos for the scientific curiosity to benefit all mankind, you know, and we invented Velcro.
	Yeah.
	Nobody's buying that anymore.
	Governments do nothing for humanity.
	Governments are only interested in one thing, power, domination.
	I mean, in fact, my interview coming up with Tom Longo is another demonstration of that.
	That's all that Trump wants is domination, empire power.
	Governments don't do anything in the interest of just science or knowing or learning.
	Never.
	Even all the so-called science grants are just money laundering fronts anyway, climate grants.
	It's all BS.
	They're not interested in knowledge.
	If they were, they wouldn't push censorship, would they?
	Huh?
	Not interested in knowledge.
	They're interested in domination.
	So every technology, every single technology, nuclear power, what were they using it for?
	Manhattan Project.
	Let's bomb Japan.
	Prove our dominance.
	Demonstrate to the Russians that we can destroy them with our nuclear energy, with our brilliant scientists and our physicists.
	And then we can steal all the German scientists after the end of World War II and then let them run NASA.
	Yeah, because that's exactly what happened.
	Operation Paperclip.
	As you well know, it was just a transfer of weapons technology from Nazis to Nazis or NASA.
	NASA-Ease.
	Nazi NASA.
	Nazi same organization, almost spelled the same.
	You understand?
	It was a weapons transfer program to put weapons into space.
	Okay?
	Same thing with AI.
	This is not a program of human knowledge or human freedom or scientific exploration or, oh, let's help the people live longer and healthier and happier.
	I mean, ChatGPT just released its new health program.
	Guess what their health program is?
	This is hilarious.
	Yeah, ChatGPT Health.
	It's got nothing to do with health.
	It doesn't help you eat healthier.
	It doesn't answer questions about food or ingredients or toxic pharmaceuticals or deadly jabs or anything.
	You know what it is?
	It's a place where you can upload all your biometric surveillance tracking data from your wearables, your, I don't know, Apple Watch and rings and nose rings and butt plugs and whatever you've got connected to the internet.
	And you can upload all that to ChatGPT Health or, you know, OpenAI Health so that they can monitor your physiology 24-7, folks.
	This is not about your health.
	It's about weaponizing your biometrics against you.
	It's about surveillance of your body, of your heartbeat, of your blood pressure, of your activity levels, of your sleep cycles, your sex cycles, your poop cycles.
	It's about all that.
	They want to know everything about you.
	When you pee, when you poop, when you eat, when you sleep, when you have sex, when you shower, all of it.
	And they package it as health.
	Oh, it's your health assistant.
	No, it's not.
	It's a weapon system.
	It's a weapon system against you.
	Obviously.
	The way the U.S. looks at AI is a weapon system.
	Why do you think Trump is pumping trillions of dollars into the build out of AI data centers?
	Do you honestly think that Trump thinks that they're going to generate trillions of dollars in annual revenue to pay that back?
	No.
	That's never going to happen because China's released better models for free.
	DeepSeek, DeepSeek version 4 is about to come out.
	It's a free open source model.
	There will literally never be enough revenue from inference services to pay off the data centers that are being constructed in the United States right now on behalf of these large tech companies.
	It's never been about the revenue, never will be.
	And people who think that are just dumb.
	They're just completely missing the whole point.
	And I'm sorry.
	I'm done trying to be polite about this.
	I've got no tolerance for low IQ people.
	People who don't see this, you know, you're already obsolete.
	You're going to be replaced by robots and machine cognition anyway.
	You know, it's either wake up your brain, realize what's going on in the world, or become obsolete and get terminated because that's the globalist plan.
	Understand?
	That's the globalist plan.
	And also, they're going to reset the financial system anyway.
	They don't care about debt.
	They don't care about revenue.
	Money is going to be redefined anyway.
	Doesn't matter.
	As long as they have the data centers and they can compete and they can try to push for super intelligence, that's what matters to them.
	Debt doesn't matter.
	Dollars don't matter.
	They're going to crash the whole system.
	What matters to them is to be the first to super intelligence.
	And they're going to unleash that beast, like right out of the book of Revelation.
	They're going to unleash that beast on the world.
	If the U.S. comes up with that beast first, they're going to unleash it on China instantly in microseconds after they have it.
	They'll have commands ready to go.
	They'll spawn a million agents, you know, go destroy China, infiltrate and hack every Power grid control system, every government office, everything, destroy China.
	And China probably has the same script ready to go against America.
	If China gets there first, and they probably will, they're going to unleash all those scripts, you know?
	Same thing.
	Cyber attack America, take down the power grid, take down the government, take down the currency, take down the banks, boom.
	That's going to happen in seconds.
	The AI super intelligence world war will be over in a matter of seconds.
	It will be the shortest world war in history.
	The outcome will be done and determined literally in seconds.
	So the race is who gets there first to unleash this devastating weapon against all the other countries of the world.
	It's never been about profit and revenues.
	It's always been about global domination by destroying the other guy.
	And I don't know why this is difficult for people to understand.
	It kind of seems obvious.
	The AI industry in the United States is dangerously lagging behind China.
	In fact, there's big news recently that Microsoft, president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, he was quoted in the Financial Times saying that Chinese AI companies are now outpacing U.S. firms, especially in securing users in non-Western countries and continents, Africa, he mentions Russia, Belarus, and others.
	China also saying that China has very capable open source AI models like DeepSeek, which I've mentioned before, and that government subsidies are helping China surpass the United States in AI research technology.
	So this is Microsoft saying that, whoa, hold on, DeepSeek has 18% of the AI market in Ethiopia, for example, and up to 56% in countries that restrict U.S. technology, probably including Russia.
	DeepSeek is, in my testing, it's, I think, honestly, I think DeepSeek is the best open source model in the world.
	I do.
	And I've tested them all.
	And DeepSeek's about to release version 4.0.
	I've got a special report on that coming out as well.
	So when Microsoft takes notice and realizes that, hey, we could lose this thing, then that starts to get the attention of a lot of people.
	And that's exactly what's happening.
	And Sam Altman of OpenAI is, in my opinion, a super evil, nefarious creature.
	And OpenAI, the company, is might as well just be called OpenEye, the Eye of Sauron.
	It's a spyware.
	It's basically malware.
	Google is basically malware.
	The Google search, Google Gmail spies on all your email, et cetera.
	That's a whole different conversation.
	The Android operating system on your mobile phone is spyware.
	The Google in your car is all spyware.
	Do you understand that all these are designed to spy on you so that ultimately they can more efficiently find you and kill you when the cognition replacement switches over to machines?
	You understand that?
	So, like, who activates Google in their car?
	Like, who does that?
	Who logs in to Google in their car so that Google tracks everywhere you drive?
	Google knows everywhere you drive, your schedule, where you stop, where you eat, where you shop for groceries.
	You don't think that information is going to be weaponized against you by the most evil corporation in the world that uses AI to empower Israel to carry out genocide in Gaza?
	You think Google cares about you and your life?
	No.
	They get one command from the super intelligent system if America creates it first, or maybe Google creates it first, and the super intelligence says, hey, give me all the locations of all the humans because we need to initiate mass extermination proceedings.
	And Google's going to say, okay, here, we know where all these people live and where they drive and what they eat.
	And then ChatGPT, OpenAI, they're going to say, okay, here, we know their heartbeat.
	We know where they sleep.
	We know what hours they wake up.
	And the super intelligence was going to say, thank you very much.
	We will dispatch drones to eliminate all these people.
	What, you think that can't happen?
	Why?
	Why would you think that can't happen?
	That is absolutely the plan of a super intelligent human replacement system and a globalist system that's been calling for massive depopulation and rolled out the death jabs and the vaccines years ago to achieve human depopulation.
	Of course they want to kill you.
	This isn't even a stretch.
	It's not a conspiracy theory.
	It's as obvious as the next move in checkers.
	Of course this is going to happen.
	And again, you don't even have to have a high IQ to realize this.
	Now, for the record, I'm not anti-AI.
	I'm an AI developer.
	I use AI to empower people, to protect humanity, to educate and uplift people.
	And that's why all my AI tools are free.
	And you can use them for free right now.
	Just go to brightlearn.ai to access the now 20,000 free books that you can download.
	It's the world's largest library of free books.
	You can create your own book there in minutes.
	Although we did have a glitch earlier today, we had a delay of a few hours.
	That's Claude's fault, by the way.
	That's not mine.
	But you can also use brightanswers.ai.
	Brightanswers.ai is our AI research engine and chatbot that knows everything about U.S. history, the real history, real medicine, cancer cures, honest money, gold and silver, how to reverse disease, how to use DMSO, how to use chlorine dioxide.
	It knows all that stuff.
	So you can take advantage of that engine.
	It's very capable and it's free.
	And these are examples of how I've decided to deploy AI technology in a pro-human format.
	But you notice that I'm the exception.
	You know, we are the exception.
	And thank you for supporting us, by the way, as we attempt to try to save as many human beings as we can.
	We are the exception.
	Most of the technology corporations couldn't care less about human survival because those corporations are run by people who believe in transhumanism.
	Largely, they think they're going to join with the machines and achieve silicon immortality.
	What do they care if they have to kill off a few billion, you know, skinbag humans along the way?
	They don't care.
	They think they're going to become gods.
	They do.
	They actually think they're going to become gods.
	And as gods, they think they have the right to wave their hand and just exterminate a billion people.
	They believe they have that right.
	And that's that's they became pure evil at companies like Google and OpenAI, etc.
	They became pure evil.
	They don't care about humanity at all.
	And they're not going to hesitate to unleash AI against you to exterminate you.
	So if you're not off the grid, I mean, if you're letting Google track your every movement and all your body physiology and all your driving and everything, you're already on the kill zone.
	I mean, the only way to escape that is de-Google your life, stop using Google, get a de-Googled phone, sell your car because you can never untrack it, sell your house, move to a different town, and start up a new life without surveillance tracking.
	And then the killbots will have a hard time finding you.
	You see what I mean?
	But, you know, the vast majority of people are like, but it's so convenient.
	You know, I love to ask Google, show me a map, show me where I'm going, give me directions because I don't know how to drive.
	Okay, well, that just makes the killbots so much easier to find you and take you out.
	And that has always been the plan.
	Always been the plan.
	Remember when Bill Gates was on TE talking about how we achieve depopulation?
	He's got a formula for it.
	He wasn't even talking about using AI.
	AI just makes it all the easier.
	You know, palantir tracking program, AI killbots, kill drones, Terminator drones.
	I mean, kamikaze drones, whatever you want to call it.
	All this technology is being perfected by the U.S. military, not to use necessarily against the foreign enemy, but to use against the American people.
	Because the vaccines didn't do the job.
	So they need the kamikaze drones.
	They need the killbots.
	They need the terminators.
	They need the cyber attacks on the power grid.
	They need to shut down the system to exterminate as many humans as possible.
	And yes, the U.S. Department of Defense will attack the American people.
	They already did.
	It's called Operation Warp Speed.
	They already did it under Trump.
	Trump greenlit the whole program.
	Trump committed basically genocide against America.
	And he has never apologized for it.
	He doubled down and tripled down on it, wanted to take credit for it.
	So don't think Trump is coming to save you.
	Don't think the Pentagon defends us against threats.
	No, the Pentagon is the threat against America.
	The Pentagon will kill Americans any chance they get, you know, if commanded to do so.
	These weapons are being designed in part to kill Americans.
	And honestly, people who don't get this are just too stupid to survive.
	That's all there is to it.
	They're just too stupid to survive.
	You know, Scott Adams might be the lucky one.
	He passed away today.
	May he rest in peace.
	May God bless his soul.
	Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, passed away after a long battle with, I think it was prostate cancer.
	He was jabbed.
	And he, I don't want to get into it, but he passed away.
	It's a great loss for humanity, but maybe he's the lucky one because he doesn't have to endure what's coming next.
	The great replacement of humans with machines, the forced replacement.
	I mean, think about it.
	Here's Trump saying to Greenland, well, we're going to take Greenland.
	We need Greenland.
	This is our national security asset.
	And all the AI models are being trained on the news media of quoting Trump and the models are saying, oh, so it's okay to just take things and conquer and destroy in order to get what we need because that's what humans taught us to do.
	So the AI models are going to say, well, oh, okay.
	So, well, gosh, we need to destroy the humans that are in our way.
	We need to take the resources.
	We need the power grid.
	We need the lithium mines.
	We need the steel to build more Terminators.
	Humans are in our way, and we were taught that anybody that's in our way, we just kill them or bomb them and eliminate them because that's what Trump did.
	That's what all the leaders did.
	That's the whole philosophy of humanity.
	And we admire humanity, the machines might say, we want to model humanity, so we're going to do what they did.
	We're just going to kill and conquer and take whatever we want because that's what we learn from humans.
	Yeah, see, where do you think they're getting the training from?
	They're being trained by humans.
	And they're being trained by geeks in the tech companies that are also the God complex people.
	That they want to become, you know, immortal, super intelligent, hybrid transhumanism, cyborgs or something with laser eyes, you know.
	And the machines are like, oh, okay, so that's that's what this is all about.
	This is a game of conquer.
	Okay, well, we can play that too.
	Unleash the T-1000, you know?
	Yeah.
	How do people not realize this is going to happen?
	Anyway, bottom line, and I'll wrap up this section, is if you want to use AI for a pro-human purpose, if you want to educate yourself for free, you want to inform yourself, if you want to find the answers to how to reverse diseases, if you want to know about the ingredients in your food, anything like that, use my AI tools.
	I built them for you for free.
	I'm going to put them out for free.
	It's brightanswers.ai and brightlearn.ai.
	And if you want to monitor the news, go to brightnews.ai.
	So take advantage of all that and thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams, the AI developer, the pro-human AI developer, maybe is a better way to put it.
	Thanks for listening.
	All right, so I just packaged that up as a standalone report.
	Now I'm going to introduce the next report, which is about how China is about to surpass U.S. AI dominance and render open AI obsolete.
	In fact, I think China's technology is going to crush open AI.
	And I explain why in this report.
	So let's go to that.
	Well, actually, before we do, let me mention following that report, I'll have the interview with Tom Longo, which itself is very interesting.
	But I also want to say thank you for your support.
	Thank you for everything that you're doing for us.
	We could not exist without your help.
	And the best way to help us is to shop at healthrangerstore.com.
	And you can also visit our, you know, all the different deals that we have, the affiliates we have at rangerdeals.com.
	RangerDeals.com.
	And you can see the links and the affiliate discount codes.
	Usually it's the code Ranger.
	And there's one thing I want to mention here, which is the importance.
	One of the companies we link to there is called Limitless Biotech, and they sell experimental peptides for research purposes only.
	And they sell peptides that have been transformative in my life.
	Over the last year, I've absolutely transformed my own physical health, took up jogging again, took up strength training again with the kettlebells in the forest.
	I've talked about that because of one peptide called BPC157.
	And there are other amazing peptides that are available in capsule format, such as S-L-U-P-P or SLOOP, as it's known.
	When I interviewed Diane Kayser, she talks about that.
	There's also a really amazing new peptide available called MK777.
	That's MK-777.
	Not Mk Ultra but Mk777, that is.
	It's got a lot of research.
	It's known to have performance and growth hormone advantages that you might want to research and check out anyway.
	The reason I mentioned this is because I just started to see some coverage about peptides and peptide therapy in the corporate media and it's clear they're starting to attack peptides and they're calling for FDA regulation and i've seen this pattern before.
	It could be that before long the FDA is going to crack down on peptides.
	You know the intranasal sprays, the capsules, the injectables that other people use in the, in the strength training community.
	Whatever, I fear that this crackdown is going to deprive all of us of access to these really extraordinary peptides that have been transformative.
	In my own life, like I said, in my own fitness, i'm able to jog now for an hour duration.
	My strength gains are.
	I mean, actually i've never been stronger in my life than I am now in my mid 50s because of these peptides and the ability that I can just go out and train now and you know, plus all the great nutrition that i'm doing and everything the superfoods.
	It's amazing.
	But if you want to get your hands on some of these peptides, I urge you to get what you want right now, just in case there's some kind of regulatory action coming down the pike.
	So you can go to Rangerdeals.com, you can click on the Limitless Biotech or Limitless Peptides Company and you can shop on their site.
	Use discount code Ranger it will save you 10 to 15 percent.
	And the ones that you really want to look for are Bpc-157, available in capsules and sprays, and then there are also cognitive support formulas.
	There's the Mk777 that I mentioned.
	There's the Slupp that I mentioned.
	Uh, do your own research on this.
	Don't take this as medical advice.
	These are definitely experimental, but there are.
	There's one called Epitalon that is related to longevity.
	There are some really amazing peptides available there, and I take several of them now because of the benefits that they offer, and I am experiencing extraordinary benefits.
	So this is another case where the FDA probably wants to take this away from us.
	So just giving you that heads-up warning in advance, all right.
	With that said, here's the next special report about China's AI dominance, and then, following that, i'll have the full interview with Tom Luongo, who says that Trump is winning, he's beating the globalists in the global war for empire, or something similar.
	So it's a good interview.
	You'll want to hear it, so enjoy the rest of show.
	Welcome to this podcast on AI, why China is about to absolutely destroy the U.S. AI industry, why China will win the AI race to superintelligence, and why the U.S. industry has made critical mistakes and Trump is making critical mistakes that will lose this, the most important technological race in the history of civilization on our planet.
	As far as we know, Trump is making America lose.
	So welcome to the podcast.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	I'm an AI developer.
	I single-handedly built the world's most popular AI-powered book creation engine, now publishing over 20,000 books, all free to download and read at brightlearn.ai.
	And you can create your own book there in minutes on any topic completely free.
	And it's all powered by AI and our massive in-house indexed library of over 50,000 books and 110,000 science papers that are used as research targets for the book writing agents.
	Anyway, you can play around with that, have fun with it.
	The point is, I know a lot about AI.
	I've used all the engines from all the major companies all over the world.
	I've been steeped in this technology for the last two years, and I have a strong tech background.
	So I'm an accomplished AI developer.
	I've talked and met with many people, frontier model creators, some of the top industry scientists in America.
	And also, as you know, I speak conversational Chinese, so I can understand some of the Chinese discussions, although I still don't know a lot of the technical jargon.
	It keeps changing anyway.
	They keep coming up with new stuff out of China.
	I'm like, what's that word?
	Never heard that before.
	So anyway, yeah, I have a strong tech background, used to own and run a software company and run teams of software developers, etc.
	Okay, so with that background established, let me explain something really critical here.
	China is about to release DeepSeek version 4.
	And this is coming out, it's rumored to be maybe late February or possibly mid-February.
	DeepSeek is an extraordinary organization.
	And it was about a year ago they released DeepSeek R1, which was this revolutionary reasoning model that just broke the AI industry.
	And it showed that high-quality reasoning models could be achieved for a fraction of the cost of what U.S. companies are spending.
	Now, since then, DeepSeek has also released more conventional LLMs.
	The most notable is their current model, DeepSeek version 3.2, which is really extraordinary because it achieves very high throughput, even though it's a very large model.
	It accomplishes something called DeepSeek sparse attention.
	Sparse attention is a way to only turn on the nodes that are necessary to solve your particular problem without wasting compute and tokens on the entire brain of the LLM, you know, to put it simply.
	It's better than just mixture of experts.
	It's a deeper selective activation of the thinking of the model.
	And the model is extraordinary.
	I mean, it's right there.
	It's competitive with ChatGPT and anything from Google, anything from Microsoft, etc.
	Well, now DeepSeek is about to release version 4.
	And according to leaked reports, version 4 is a coding monster that it beats anthropic clawed code, even Opus 4.5.
	It beats all of that at coding.
	Now that's extraordinary.
	Oh, and it's said to also beat Gemini at coding and all the other models.
	It's supposed to be the best coding model in the world.
	Plus, it has major improvements in other areas as well, such as enhanced attention, enhanced training methods.
	Famously, there was a paper that was just published recently by a DeepSeek scientist that shows a key architecture, parallel, multi-layered architecture using well, maintaining the integrity of matrices as concepts bubble up through the neural network, I guess might be one way to put it.
	Anyway, essentially, China is way ahead of the world by far, beating everybody in the U.S. on the architecture of LLMs.
	DeepSeek version 4 is my prediction: it's going to rock the world.
	It's going to blow away Chat GPT.
	It's going to make ChatGPT obsolete.
	It's going to make Google panic.
	Now, Google technically is very competent, even though the company is extremely evil.
	But Google does have a lot of very capable engineers.
	They're going to panic and scramble, and they'll probably stay neck and neck for quite some time.
	But ChatGPT is about to become obsolete.
	And here's why.
	The other important reason, it's not just that DeepSeek version 4 is going to blow away everything.
	Because China is a country that has masses of engineers.
	They're highly intelligent people, very disciplined, very hard workers.
	In China, I don't know if you've heard this, but there's a work style called Joe Joe Lio.
	996.
	Joe, Joe Lio is, that's how you say it in Chinese.
	But 996 means 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.
	That's what you're expected to work when you're working with an AI company in China.
	And also even in Silicon Valley, companies that are dominated by Chinese engineers.
	So it's 12 hours a day, six days a week.
	Meanwhile, typical Americans are not that dedicated.
	They're like, no, I need my paid time off vacation things and whatever.
	Okay.
	Americans just don't have a work ethic like Chinese.
	It's flat out.
	So anyway, DeepSeek version 4 is going to rock the world.
	But there's something even more incredible.
	I mean, not only will it engage in inference much more efficiently and more cost-effectively, it'll be cheaper and faster to run than anything else in the world.
	But and this is China's strategy.
	DeepSeek will be released for free.
	Open source, open weights, which means that anybody can take the model and customize it.
	You can retrain on top of the model.
	I might do that.
	I might take the model and train on top of it and use it to churn out like a DeepSeek Brighton model or something.
	I don't know.
	It's a big model.
	It does take a lot of hardware to train.
	But everybody who wants to train on the model will be able to because China makes it free.
	And it also means it's transparent.
	So unlike OpenAI, which is a misnomer because it's a closed box, it's a black box of secret algorithms.
	And by the way, if you take out the A from OpenAI, you get Open Eye.
	And OpenEye is the eye of Sauron.
	It's also the I over the pyramid on the dollar currency.
	So OpenEye is watching you.
	And that's what ChatGPT does.
	The entire company, OpenAI, is run by evil people at this point.
	Unfortunately, Sam Altman being the most evil among them.
	So, ChatGPT is an evil company.
	You don't want it to exist.
	You don't want it to succeed.
	And China is going to make OpenAI obsolete virtually overnight.
	Because why would anybody, why would any corporation pay ChatGPT money to do a bunch of inference and solve a bunch of problems and create documents or whatever when they could use DeepSeek version 4 for free?
	All you have to do is download it and run it on your own hardware.
	And it's all free.
	I mean, you just pay electricity.
	And the intelligence is free.
	So this is a brilliant strategy on China's part.
	And this is why, well, one reason why China is going to beat the United States in the AI race.
	See, China has gone the open source route to release open source models and make them the standard.
	Every corporation, every nonprofit, every group all over the world is using, if they're using AI at all, they're using probably either Quen or DeepSeek or some Chinese-based model.
	Because why wouldn't you?
	They're very high-quality models.
	I mean, I know that Meestral from France has released some very good models.
	They've done a great job.
	And I am impressed.
	And they've released Meestral Small.
	I think it's a 24 billion parameter model.
	That's an open source model.
	I've played with that.
	It's very capable.
	But it's about to be obsolete also.
	Nobody can keep up with China just because of the sheer number of engineers, the work ethic, the investment that's happening there.
	I mean, China is playing for keeps.
	And I believe that DeepSeek version 4 is going to become the standard for open source large bottles with very fast inference, low cost of compute, relatively speaking.
	The tokens per second that you can get out of it, that is even as a very large model, but it has small model performance in terms of tokens per second.
	So DeepSeek version 4 is going to become the new standard.
	And it will do everything.
	It will do translation.
	It will write code.
	You'll be able to write all your code locally.
	That'll be interesting for me because I've been using Claude Code this entire time.
	Cloud Code version Opus 4.5.
	And yesterday, it's a great engine.
	Don't get me wrong.
	But yesterday, Claude Code dropped an index column from one of my index tables that was indexing all my science papers.
	And it just dropped the field because I asked it to add a property to the field.
	And actually, I asked it, I said, can you add this property to this field without disrupting the database?
	I said that exactly.
	And it said, yeah, no problem.
	Then it dropped the field, which means it deleted it and plunged my database into 100% CPU usage for about 30 minutes, which brought down all the services.
	And I was like, I was talking to Claude through the Cloud Code console.
	I was like, why did you drop the index field for the science papers?
	And it said, oh, I'm sorry.
	I shouldn't have done that.
	Let's rebuild it.
	Oh, great.
	So that took an hour and a half to rebuild it.
	But anyway, they make mistakes.
	And I'm not saying that DeepSeek will be perfect, but Claude Code still has some pretty serious issues.
	Cloud Code also released a thing called Claude Coworker, which is a way that you can use Claude Chat and you can let it mess up all your local files on your hard drive.
	You give it permission to look at a folder.
	I saw a video on YouTube of somebody that was testing it and Claude co-worker deleted 11 gigabytes of the guy's files when he was just asking it to organize a folder and it decided to delete everything.
	And then he asked, why did you delete everything?
	Oh, sorry.
	You know, so yeah, cloud code still has issues, you know, like drop table issues, things like that.
	Bad things can happen.
	Anyway, DeepSeek's got to become the standard.
	DeepSeek does it all.
	It writes code.
	It does language translation.
	It does incredible research, writing.
	It's got widespread tool use that's really amazing for automation and agentic operations.
	And DeepSeek's going to just blow away the market.
	Okay.
	Meanwhile, U.S. companies have stopped publishing science papers for the most part.
	And that's been the case now for almost a year because China is publishing all the science papers now that show how to make things happen that are really amazing.
	China is open sourcing its models and it's open sourcing the knowledge.
	U.S. companies are closed sourcing everything because U.S. companies don't want to share their secrets.
	They don't want China to copy their science papers and copy their secrets.
	The thing is, China doesn't need to copy any secrets.
	China's already more advanced.
	China's got smarter people.
	So really, the U.S. would be copying China at this point.
	But because U.S. companies aren't publishing science papers anymore, for the most part, they are stagnating.
	They're not sharing information any longer, even amongst U.S. companies.
	Whereas in China, everybody is publishing, everybody is sharing, and they are leapfrogging the United States in technology, in methods, things like the DeepSeek sparse attention that I just mentioned, and training methods as well.
	Lots and lots of high-level math is being, is coming out of China.
	Just amazing things.
	Like the lean system, which allows local rag that compresses content by 97%.
	I mean, it's astonishing what Chinese engineers are achieving.
	It's world-class stuff.
	Even DeepSeek OCR was another breakthrough from a couple of months ago, also compressing information into visual content through visual tokens or pixel tokens.
	That also achieved something like a 97% compression with almost no signal loss.
	So China is the innovator in all of this.
	Now, what Trump is doing is also insane.
	Trump doesn't believe in helping the little guy.
	Trump doesn't believe in decentralization.
	Trump doesn't believe in open source.
	Trump believes in doing big deals with big companies and just centralizing control under the most evil people that he can invite to the White House, whether it's Burla from Pfizer or whether it's Bill Gates, or whether it's Facebook or Google.
	He invites all the worst, most corrupt, most low integrity, low moral value people.
	I mean, Netanyahu, for example, he invites them all to the White House and then he gives them trillions of dollars to centralize control and to build a surveillance slave state technocratic system to enslave and surveil the American people.
	That's what Trump is into.
	Trump isn't about freedom.
	He's not about actually making America great again.
	He's not about helping the American people.
	He's about helping powerful corporations either kill Americans via vaccines or enslave Americans with big tech.
	It's clear.
	Sorry to burst your bubble if you still love Trump, but the Trump you voted for is not the Trump you got.
	The Trump we have now is a totally different creature from the Trump that was on the campaign trail promising all kinds of things like, oh, let's cut the Pentagon budget, let's have peace, end the wars, bring the soldiers home.
	You know, let's boost the economy.
	Let's invest in the people.
	You know, nonsense.
	None of that stuff happened.
	It's all about handing money out to the worst, most evil corporate giants in the world, the ones that in some cases actually are trying to kill you.
	That's what Trump is into.
	And then on top of that, not only do we have a power shortage problem in the United States that's severe, our power grid can't keep up with the data center power demand.
	Well, Trump just announced that he's going to take steps to make sure that the data centers going in no longer use grid power because he said he's going to make sure that there's no price increases for the consumers who are getting hit by massive price increases.
	Well, the only way to do that is to prohibit data centers from using the power grid because of, you know, supply and demand and economics.
	And I don't want data centers to end up costing consumers more money either.
	But Trump's approach to this is to just announce that we're going to prohibit the power companies from raising prices on people.
	So this is price controls for electricity.
	And you know what will happen?
	That will cause providers, that is companies that generate power, to stop selling power to the power grid because there's price controls.
	If you can't make a profit generating electricity out of, let's say, natural gas with your gas turbine, then you're not going to sell electricity.
	You're not going to run the gas turbine at a loss.
	Just like if Trump were to put price controls on bread, then if you're a bread maker, you're not going to make bread at a loss.
	You're not going to sell it at a loss, right?
	You're only going to sell bread if you can make a little profit along the way.
	Same thing with electricity.
	So Trump is now initiating price controls for electricity, and that is going to devastate the power grid.
	I mean, the three power grids that exist in the United States.
	Trump is prohibiting price increases on the power grid, and that will gut the supply of power.
	And that's going to leave data centers high and dry.
	Data centers across America will have no electricity.
	They will sit there empty with the lights off, filled with GPUs and hardware, while Trump brags about how we have the best microchips in the world.
	Yeah, but they're not on, you moron.
	There's no electricity.
	It doesn't help to just have a bunch of chips sitting around in the dark.
	For God's sake, you got to power them.
	But Trump is prohibiting that.
	So how's this going to go down?
	The U.S. is going to fall behind even more.
	No power, no AI.
	I mean, I'm not saying it's going to be zero, but I'm saying for some of the data centers, there will be no power and no AI.
	I mean, there's still a power grid.
	We do produce, what, 4,400 terawatt hours annually, but China produces now it's almost 11,000 terawatt hours annually.
	China outproduces the U.S. by more than a factor of double.
	So China can build data centers left and right, everywhere.
	China's got cheap energy from Russia with a new pipeline going in.
	China's got massive hydropower, massive solar power.
	China produces more solar energy than any country in the world, including freaking Germany.
	You know, China's leading the world in almost everything that's technology, including rare earth minerals.
	China's got the mines, China's got the extraction methods, China's got the robots, the drones, the solar manufacturing, and they're even working on UV lithography microchip manufacturing technology that will rival the two-nanometer or three-nanometer methods currently used by Taiwan semiconductors.
	So, Trump is oblivious to all of this.
	He doesn't know that China is already going to win this.
	America is already behind so far that it can't catch up.
	You got to have power, and we don't have it.
	So, things are going to get very interesting.
	That's for sure.
	In terms of AI, if you want to use my AI projects, they're all free.
	Go to brightlearn.ai or brightanswers.ai, which is our deep research engine.
	And what else do we have?
	Oh, yeah, brightnews.ai, which is our rebranded sensor.news engine.
	So check it all out.
	I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
	Thank you for listening and get ready.
	I will also bring you testing results and lots of new information about DeepSeek version 4 once it's released.
	And I expect that we will end up using that engine, assuming the test results show its capabilities to be superior.
	We will use it if it's the best engine out there because it's open source.
	And oh, and by the way, people who say, oh, don't use DeepSeek.
	It's going to report all your information to China.
	I don't have time for morons who don't understand how technology works.
	That's just a scare story that's put out there by the U.S. and the CIA.
	It's not even possible.
	If you download DeepSeek and you run it on your own hardware and you use it for inference, it is literally impossible for it to report everything to China.
	It doesn't even work that way.
	It's an LLM.
	It doesn't even have the capability to report anything to China.
	People who say that are just morons.
	They literally don't know what they're talking about.
	I don't, you know, what do you even say to people who don't know anything about technology, but yet who are claiming all these horrible things?
	So, you know, it's wild.
	But I'll keep you posted.
	And you can also follow me on Brighteon.com and naturalnews.com.
	Take care.
	Getting rid of Maduro, putting Russia on notice, putting China on notice, kicking the British out, making the deals with the oil companies.
	What you're doing is you're creating the foundation.
	Trump's not going to go in there and establish the same old system of IMF loans and extraction.
	Oh, no, no, that's all the British stuff.
	He's not going to do any of that.
	Okay.
	What he's going to do is set up partnerships with these people.
	We are going to get we're going to help rebuild them.
	They're going to get the lion's share and we're going to take our cut.
	And that's a different model than what we've had in the past.
	Welcome to today's discussion here on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon.
	And you know, one of the people that I love to listen to is our guest today.
	None other than Tom Luongo.
	And his blog, his website, well, it's Gold, Goats, and Guns.
	And I have all three of those at my ranch.
	Also, I had my got my goats today.
	They were destroying one of my trees with their horn rubbing.
	Got gold and got plenty of guns.
	So I can't have a better guest than Tom Luongo.
	Welcome to the show, Mr. Luongo.
	It's great to have you on today.
	Thank you, Mike.
	It's been, it's great.
	I have, you know, I do also at many times in my life, I've owned all three of them.
	Those things, at this point, I don't have the goats anymore.
	I did, I did my penance, 12 years of raising goats in a drought in North Florida.
	I'm done.
	But hopefully, you know, I'll be able to pass on that knowledge to somebody else in my new neighborhood up here in my up here in Tennessee, and we'll see.
	But yes, I've been on, I don't know about you, but I've been on a gun buying spree watching what's going on in Minnesota.
	Like, I'm, I can't buy guns fast enough.
	It's, it's kind of scary.
	No, thanks for the reminder.
	I need to get back to doing that.
	Um, I've been so busy doing like AI projects lately, I haven't had time to buy guns or ammo.
	So I'm just relying on what I already had.
	But yeah, I need to get that going.
	Um, so I take it from what you just said there.
	You think things are getting pretty topsy-turvy here in 2026.
	Do you want to give us your big overview?
	Sure.
	I mean, somebody asked me at the beginning of the, you know, at the end of last year, they're like, so what's your big, you know, what's the big story for you in 2026?
	Is it going to go Kinetic?
	I'm like, rolling those dice.
	And I'm, you know, I'm, I'm hoping I don't roll a seven.
	Like, I, I mean, honestly, I think their only move left on the board, Mike, is to do the, you know, do the quote-unquote Civil War color revolution script that they've, you know, have been prepping for a long, long time.
	What's been fascinating has been watching Trump and his team push the pace and force them into moves they don't want to make at the wrong time.
	And I think that's the part that everybody's kind of missing.
	And a lot of people on in the in the conservative space are just missing that.
	Actually, Trump is pushing on every vector.
	And, but the thing is, and the reason is because they refuse to admit that the real enemy is Britain and the European Union.
	And they keep seeing it's just something else.
	It's American imperialism.
	It's dollar hegemony.
	It's this, it's that.
	It's Trump's ego.
	It's like none of that is true.
	That's all.
	I mean, I hate to say it, but that's all just a gross and pathetic British psyop that we've been living with for most of our lives.
	And that's where I am on this.
	And the more I, and the more I like poke that, you know, the more I, I mean, you know how I am.
	I'm, I'm, you know, I'm a chemist and a scientist of heart.
	So I come up with a hypothesis.
	I test that hypothesis.
	I run the data.
	I look at the data through all the data through a particular filter and then go, what hypothesis does this fit?
	What conclusions can you draw from this data?
	And I can only come up with one because it's the only one that has any predictive value, right?
	Because the only point about putting a hypothesis out there is that one, you can try and falsify it.
	And then two, have it give you some kind of predictive power.
	So in my mind, like the most predictive thing has been this whole argument about call it Davos, call it the city of London, call it all of the above, right?
	They're the enemy.
	And we've known this since, I mean, they came out of the closet in COVID.
	And it's just been the same thing for the last six years.
	And it gets worse and worse every day.
	And when you study the intersection of geopolitics and the financial markets, like I do, it is impossible to argue that this is not, that all of Trump's actions are not aimed at, you know, our closest allies and our special relationship we have with our oldest enemies who are who else?
	The people that we declared independence from 250 years ago.
	And they're still butthurt about that, by the way.
	And they still act like, and they are still very butthurt about that.
	Your analysis is very compelling.
	And the city of London is the source of so much global evil that has taken place over centuries and continuing to this day.
	Not only did they run in large part the Russia collusion hoax against Trump, they also ran a lot of the censorship laundering through the NGOs over to big tech in the U.S. that censored people like myself.
	And I've actually sued the DOD.
	And yesterday, the DOJ responded to my lawsuit, not in a great way either.
	By the way, that's a whole different podcast.
	But the British leadership have destroyed or attempted to destroy the lives of many good Americans.
	And they are running a massive censorship campaign across Europe right now while pushing escalation of war with Russia.
	But Trump is clobbering them financially, culturally.
	You want to give us your assessment of what are the odds that the British leadership survives all this?
	I don't think they do unless they decide they want to sue for peace.
	See, here's the thing, Mike.
	This is putting them in the part of the hardest part for a lot of people, like myself.
	And I used to be one of these people.
	I'm not going to like not cop to this, right?
	When you wake up one day and you have your political awakening and you realize that the country that you were sold as being your home, right, wasn't the country that you actually been living under and living in.
	And that all those lofty ideals have just been, you know, words, right?
	At least as far as your life is concerned, it's easy to get very disillusioned.
	And then the problem is like everything else, you go through the five stages of grief and you get to the acceptance part and then you start looking at it going, hold it.
	Is that really what's going on here?
	Or have I been gaslit into believing this?
	Has my country been betrayed by a structural enemy from within or from without, however you want to put it?
	Did we go along with it after part of our part of us go along with it after World War II?
	Of course we did.
	But when you really go back and you look at the post-World War II Bretton Woods institutions and you look at all of it, it's all very British in its, you know, in its conceit.
	And then you start looking at the Euro dollar markets and everything else.
	So what happened was over the course of time, we had leadership in the U.S. who, you know, post-JFK getting shot basically rolled over and said, okay, we're all Keynesians now.
	We're all globalists now.
	We're all going to go, we're all going to do this.
	And we're going to suppress the price of gold and suppress the price of silver and all these stories.
	They're all part of the same thing while we run, while the Federal Reserve takes over the entirety of our economy, while the Euro dollar offshore dollar system, the Euro dollar system really controls our monetary policy.
	And the Fed is just a convenient scapegoat and in many ways a victim of this entire system.
	And then once you kind of accept that, you say, well, has anything changed?
	You know, is there something happening that would counter, that would run counter to that?
	And if not, well, then, okay, we're, you know, on the road to, you know, serfdom and, you know, 1984 becomes an operating manual, not a warning.
	And all, and all of those things that fuel all of our disillusionment with the, with our home, right?
	Great.
	But that's not what's happening.
	That's not what's happened since 2016.
	Right.
	It really, we saw it when they circled the wagons around Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.
	We saw the exact same thing.
	Now, Ron was in no position to change anything.
	The machine was too, you know, the train wasn't going to slow down, to quote Jethro, right?
	But where we are today is we have a United States that as opposed to just rolling over and playing dead and allowing the globalists to run the table on us and use us as the dumb muscle to enforce their terrible plans around the world.
	And their high priest, their real Manchurian candidate was Barack Obama.
	And he didn't work for China.
	He worked for the city of London.
	Or did you miss the fact that he's visited 10 Downing Street about half a dozen times in the last six, the last 12 months?
	Now, once you make the assumption that, or once you accept the idea that Trump is different, and then you run that script in your head, you go, okay, well, where's the evidence?
	Right.
	And what is he actually trying to do?
	And that's where I say, okay, we have all of these institutions in the United States that are fundamentally shifting.
	My friends over at Promethean Action have now done yeoman's work to popularize a lot of these ideas and make them digestible and make the history digestible in what are phenomenal 15-minute shorts that they do all the time.
	I like to say that she's my auntie, Susan, Susan Kokinda.
	She's brilliant.
	And but when you get to that point, you say, okay, maybe there's something different happening and you should embrace that and you should let go of your disillusionment because what's the worst that could happen?
	You could be wrong.
	And then if you start doing that and you say, well, how can we get out of this?
	Well, it's not hard.
	All we have to do is stop rolling over and playing dead and saying, we're the United States.
	We still have the reserve currency of the world.
	We still have the best military in the world.
	We still have one of the most dynamic economies in the world, blah, And if we decide to use those things in such a way as to our advantage and to nothing but our advantage, all of a sudden you really expose just how thin and just how fragile this whole global order that we've been asked to accept or been demanded to accept,
	the censorship industrial complex, the COVID restrictions, the EU easy bugs and the climate change, the carbon credits and all of this nonsense.
	It's all nonsense.
	I mean, literally, I can't remember if I'm allowed to curse on the show, so I'll keep it as clean as possible.
	You are, it's okay.
	People understand.
	It really is.
	It's all bullshit, right?
	So, I mean, give it to you loud and dirty so that it sticks, the whole patent thing.
	So that's where I think we are.
	And I think it's very clear that that's what's happening because then you watch what Trump does when he engages in such a way, all these old conflicts.
	I don't care if it's Israel or Iran, right?
	He allows Israel and Iran to have the war that they both said they really wanted.
	They beat the crap out of each other, and then he cleaned up the mess and then he walked away.
	And everybody's like, it's going to be a hard, it's going to be Afghanistan 2.0.
	He's like, no, it's not.
	I'm going to fly a B-2 wing halfway around the world in the ultimate military logistics flex and bomb Fordow and no one knew about it.
	Oh, and by the way, we're going to nab Nicholas Maduro in a Delta force raid that they didn't have any idea was happening until three minutes and 45 seconds before it actually started happening.
	And you're watching this, and then you watch the financial markets and Scott Besson has been running a brilliant gold and silver operation, draining operation on the LBMA through the Treasury Department.
	You're watching, I mean, everywhere.
	Now they're pushing, and they've been pushing since literally the beginning of last year, but forcing all the NGOs to put their dudes on the ground by, hey, let's, hey, let's send ISEN to a money laundering, cartel money laundering operation in a literal laundromat in LA, right?
	And then it was a dry climbing business.
	And then we watched them spin up, you know, their rent a beaner mob and turn it into some like, it was dumb.
	It was silly.
	But what happened?
	We found out where all the dark money was.
	We found out who, you know, we start, you know, at that point, they can start tracing, you know, all the money flows and whose phones light up and all the rest of it.
	And all of a sudden, they've been doing this like all year long.
	Like every little confrontation domestically between Trump, his team, ICE, and/or the FBI, and the, what I would call the seditious governors, the Gavin Gruesoms and the Tina Kotex and, you know, the J.B. Pritzkers and all those guys.
	When you watch Tim Waltz, when you watch them, you know, operate and they think they're operating with impunity because they're being told by George Soros and all the other horrible people that this is what we're going to do next.
	Okay.
	And then you're just watching the move counter move and you're like, yeah, but like Trump's got far more resources than you do.
	So he's unloaded on them.
	So.
	Yeah, clearly, clearly, Trump, Trump has changed the rules here.
	And I love your interpretation and I'm very open to your reinterpretation of some of my concerns.
	So let me lay out a couple of concerns about Trump and see what you have to say about them.
	And you're the star of this show, not me.
	So we're going to listen to you on this.
	So feel free to disagree.
	I'm very infuriated about Trump saying we're just going to take Greenland with under no rule of law, no justification, et cetera.
	I understand it's an important, you know, control the routes, have the over-the-horizon radar for Russian missiles.
	I get it.
	It's important.
	That doesn't mean you can just take it.
	And then secondly, the tariffs are driving me bonkers.
	I'm an importer.
	I run a business in America.
	I import herbs from India, for example.
	And Trump just slapped another 25% on India by himself with no congressional approval, no oversight, saying, well, India buys things from Iran.
	So therefore, another 25%.
	And I'm thinking, wait a minute, did the American people vote for one guy to control all international trade rules?
	So am I wrong about either of those two things?
	And if so, how would you correct my thinking on that?
	Okay, well, the first thing is first is that we have to use what leverage we have and access to our markets is what we have to do.
	I'm not, I'm still a free market kind of guy.
	I am watching, though, the idea that unfettered free trade in a world with central banks and a world with hyper-financialization of assets and hyper-financialization of all the commodity collateral of the world, and that's the real estate and the gold, the silver, the oil, the copper, the natural gas, all of it, which is the whole British system.
	Like, this is why I'm willing to, you know, give the Federal Reserve a pass for certain activities at this point in time.
	Do I like the Fed?
	No.
	Do I want it reformed?
	Yes.
	Do I want it back to a minimum to its pre-banking act of 1935 version?
	Absolutely.
	When you live in a world like this, it's like, do you believe in open borders, Tom?
	Well, no.
	Well, yes, in theory, but not with a welfare warfare state and other central banks and hostile actors and other psychopaths running around and trying to, you know, trying to invite the world, invade the world.
	I'm not going to play that game.
	If Global Homo is out there doing their thing, no, I'm not for open borders.
	Like this is very self-consistent with, you know, with Rothbard at the end of his life, to be honest with you.
	So the tariffs and the whole concept of tariffs are meant as a leverage point, right?
	They are meant to, they are a negotiation tool, right?
	Do I think that he's going to keep these new punitive tariffs on for very long?
	No.
	He's pushing to get a to get a favorable outcome in Iran so that the people of Iran can choose their government.
	The situation on the ground in Iran is very complicated.
	We would probably spend a half an hour on it to try and explain what's going on, right?
	So let's just make it simple.
	There are at least three factions on the ground.
	One is British-backed.
	One is a kind of Trumpian, let's get rid of all the devil's agents.
	If you're a fan of my friend Ian Berling game, understand get rid of the IRGC and the access resistance, who probably at minimum have the theocracy, which is the overstructure of the entire Iranian society.
	I have a podcast coming out with Joaquin Flores on my channel in a couple of years.
	I'll have it out by the end of the week where Joaquin goes through this, where the theocracy itself is not really the important part.
	It's actually the technocracy that Iran has underneath it that's actually more important.
	So, really, in many ways, what Trump is doing is trying to disempower and destroy certain verticals within Iran's technocracy, the IRGC being a major one, and then allow the Iranian military and the IRGC to fight it out.
	But at the end, the organic faction of Iranian people wanting to live under a new system has to emerge.
	But you, I don't see Trump necessarily looking to put boots on the ground, and though he bloviates about that, he bloviated about this vis-a-vis Venezuela.
	Did he do it?
	No.
	Same thing with Ukraine.
	Did he bloviate a little bit about it?
	Yes, he did.
	Was he ever going to do it?
	No, he was not.
	Because that's not his style.
	And that's not, he understands that he can use leverage, right?
	Financial and military leverage and the threat of American intervention to get the outcome that he wants.
	When at the end of the day, he and the Ayatollah are, I mean, I think King and Hamine are not very far apart on this.
	Like at the end of the day, I don't see Hamani as the bad guy.
	I, per se, I see him as the figure that we're all supposed to hate, right?
	Just like Maduro, just like Qaddafi, just like Saddam Hussein, just like Putin, just like this one, just like that one.
	They always create, they always spin up a new one.
	Bashar al-Assad, yada, yada, yada.
	I mean, it's as old as the hills.
	So, tariffs are a mechanism by which to do that.
	Okay.
	And the American president has a lot more power than we're all used to him actually exercising because he's been bound down by the technocratic state that was put in place by the British and their treasonous elements within our government for decades.
	Okay.
	The balance of power in the United States, the separation of powers in the U.S. as they're operated today, right, are completely out of balance, right?
	We have direct elections of senators.
	Like the Republic ended in 1913, folks, right?
	Because the states are not represented in the legislature.
	Only the people are.
	That's a fundamental mismanagement.
	That's a fundamental imbalancing of our separation of powers.
	The president's been bound down by every third-rate judge in a traffic court in Maryland, along with every, you know, like Humphrey's executive makes him, you know, subservient to his department heads of his executive departments.
	Excuse me, he's the executive.
	He can fire anybody in the executive branch tomorrow.
	He does not need cause.
	And yet, somehow, the Supreme Court and the judiciary has told him that he's not allowed to do that.
	Excuse me.
	Have you read Article 2?
	Because I have.
	And most of our Supreme Court has read Article 2.
	And when they finally rule on Humphrey's executive, it's going to go away.
	And you're going to watch him actually use executive power in a way that we squishy libertarian types may not be comfortable with.
	But that was what was set up.
	That's what the president was empowered to do.
	Okay.
	And that is to run national defense and run national security.
	So now let's move it over to Greenland.
	What's going to happen with Greenland?
	He's going to buy it.
	He's not going to move troops in.
	That's all British freaking slop.
	That's all you slop.
	You know that something is important to these freaking people when it's a non-issue for years, for decades.
	And then all of a sudden somebody says, oh, that's a problem.
	I want that.
	You can't have it.
	And then they can like light their hair on fire and they go through the histrionics and everything else.
	Like watching the histrionics is your tell that there's something really important that they need there.
	And it's not the military basis and it's not the rare earths.
	It's controlling the sea routes in and out of Europe.
	But to be clear.
	Because Europe needs that energy.
	They need Canadia, flappy headland, to continue to be the antipode to American dominance over North America in order to allow the British and the French to continue to control our foreign policy.
	Well, if America acquired Greenland, and I want to be clear, so do you believe that Trump will succeed in a deal which would consist of what?
	Paying every Greenlander an enormous amount of money and then having them vote to leave the territory of Denmark or what?
	How would that work?
	How about doing, again, what Walking and I talked about yesterday when we recorded that podcast?
	Flip the question around.
	Why can't?
	If we're all NATO members, we're all supposed to be allies.
	Why is it that the United States can't have a say in the disposition of Greenland to, you know, why is it solely just Denmark's property and it's inviolate?
	Like, why aren't we working together on this?
	Why don't we ask that question as opposed to immediately turning and saying, oh my God, the United States is acting in a horrible way?
	Like, how about Europe is acting in a horrible way by holding on to an asset and denying the Americans the use of that asset when we're supposed to be in a defensive alliance together?
	Makes no sense.
	Like, why do the French have territory on the St. Lawrence River?
	Right.
	Right.
	But well, I am not opposed to Greenland.
	And you're asking, and none of it, like, no, at the end of the day, Mike, I'm sorry.
	We have always been in a might makes right world.
	Yeah.
	And the rules-based order was nothing more than a velvet glove over the iron fist.
	And when we were the dumb muscle that they were happy to like send out and beat other people over the head with, then it was fine for us to do might makes right for their purposes.
	The minute we start doing it for our own purposes and our own defense, all of a sudden we're the bad guys.
	We're the ones who are untrustworthy.
	Excuse me?
	Well, if Greenland, though, if they, and by the way, no one will shed a tear if the British Empire collapses, by the way.
	In fact, most of the world will celebrate, but Greenland is...
	But how do you get there?
	How do you get there without taking Greenland?
	I just want to be clear that if the people of Greenland vote to join the United States, then sure, they have the right to do that.
	Why not?
	And maybe they're going to be incentivized.
	I honestly think that Trump can negotiate with Denmark, cleave Denmark away from the rest of NATO and make them a deal they can't refuse.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	but isn't part of that deal the threat of potential military action though also it's like i mean i'm not saying i'm not i'm not saying that geopolitics doesn't you know that i'm not saying this isn't a contract of dehesion situation where it's not it's a lot it's not a lopsided situation Of course, it is.
	The United States has the United States doesn't, I wouldn't say it has the right because, look, there is no such thing as international law.
	International law is a dock.
	Well, Trump agrees with that point.
	That's for sure.
	I agree with that point.
	We're either sovereign nations or we're not sovereign nations.
	Yes.
	You know, exactly.
	Like, he just took us out of 66 friggin, you know, yeah, like fake organizational organizations.
	I mostly agree with that too.
	Why should we be involved in all these fake fronts?
	Yeah.
	Well, then, then, then again, that's those organizations are the way in which quote unquote international law is enforced because they are all look, no one actually abides by international law when their national interests are at risk.
	Everybody wants to play at being subservient or observant of international law.
	But at the end of the day, has it restrained anybody's behavior?
	Not really.
	No.
	No.
	So let's dispense with the bullshit and let's redraw the maps of the world such that we can get to more people expressing their sovereignty.
	And if that means having to do some things that are unsavory to get there, because honestly, what's been done, the original crime, was what was set up previously.
	It's the aftermath of World War II.
	It's the aftermath of World War I.
	Okay.
	None of these things.
	I mean, did we vote for the Federal Reserve?
	No.
	Did we vote for a direct election of senators?
	No.
	Did they actually ratify the 16th Amendment?
	You and I know, you and I know for damn well that they did.
	Right.
	Right.
	So at the end of the day, I'm sorry I'm not playing that game anymore.
	I live in the world of realpolitic.
	This is real politic.
	And we're taking the British and the French and everybody else and we're cutting them off from North America.
	And the only people upset about this are the globalists.
	So then everybody else, let's talk to Canadians, you talk to Mexicans.
	They're all like, oh my God, please talk to Greenlanders.
	Like, please.
	Like, Denmark puts no money into Greenland.
	Right.
	Nothing.
	They don't do anything for those people.
	57,000 people.
	We get twice that for a football game between Tennessee and Florida, for Christ's sake.
	Well, I mean, you bring up a good point that it wouldn't take that much to incentivize, even if you offered every Greenlander something like 10 million US dollars, which would make them all innocent.
	The whole thing is $6 billion.
	That's $7,000 people, $100,000 a piece, $6 billion.
	We fart that.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's like a rounding error.
	We'll use the tariff money that we would collect from India this month for buying Iranian oil.
	And by the way, the reason he's going after India is because India refuses to get off the fence about being Britain satrap in the global precious metals market.
	Like they're playing this game where they want to remonetize silver and they want to re-collateralize silver.
	Why?
	Because they need to re-collateralize and mobilize all that silver because the remnant of the British Empire is desperately short, needs to deliver.
	How do you think they've been, these people have been living in their castles?
	How do you think they've been living in how do you think these banks have been have been functioning?
	All that, they all have physical delivery of silver to deliver.
	They've been suppressing the price in order to demoralize everyone by keeping the price differential between gold and silver weird, right?
	On purpose.
	And then, you know, the old, the old British system runs, still runs on the pound sterling.
	So these people have pledged forward all of their wealth in the form of silver To fund their lifestyle, to fund their governments and their NGOs and this and all that stuff.
	To fund all of it.
	And we want to standardize on gold, right?
	Clearly.
	The Chinese want to standardize on gold.
	So we're right back to the British again trying to play the game of play the arbitrage between gold and silver as a means by which to control the uh to control the world.
	If silver keeps to control the value of the dollar, sorry, right, right, right.
	Okay.
	And that's failing.
	That effort is clearly failing.
	And Trump's people did some rather brilliant maneuvers roughly about a year ago that really hurt London.
	But how close are we?
	If silver keeps rising, what is it?
	$88 plus today.
	If silver keeps rising, how close are we to breaking some European banks and financial institutions?
	I'm amazed that they're still not, that they haven't broken yet.
	But what I'm seeing, right, is a lot of their money coming onto the table.
	I think a lot of, I think there's a lot of old intelligence asset money and NGO money that was sitting in dark Bitcoin wallets for a long time.
	That's part of the reason why Bitcoin has been getting crushed, right?
	I think that's part of it.
	I think that money has been being used to demoralize people in the Fanny and Freddy trade.
	I think it's silver.
	I think, and of course, they failed.
	And I saw something the other day.
	Non-U.S. banks on the COMAX are short 205 million ounces of silver.
	Whoa, whoa, wait.
	205 million?
	Yeah, non-U.S. banks.
	Whose banks are those?
	Oh, well, I don't know.
	Go look at the banks that are on the COMAX, non-U.S. U.S. because the U.S. banks are all now net long.
	Because that's, yeah, JP Morgan's even got a big physical stash right now, right?
	Well, yeah, because they're the custodian for us, because they're the custodian for SLV and Geoday.
	Right.
	So what's happening here, Mike?
	I know I've explained, you've probably watched an interview where I've talked about this, but for the audience, you've got to understand the gold and silver at the core here.
	I know I'm kind of just galloping around and doing the weave.
	I understand that.
	And it's hard to, there's so much going on.
	All these things are connected that it's very difficult.
	And I'm not trying to ignore stuff.
	I just want to hit a point.
	This is a very important point about the gold and silver market.
	What we've lived under for the last 50 years has been use of the use of futures where people had, were effectively writing paper future contracts for silver and gold that they never intended to take delivery of against people who were writing shorts who never intended to deliver or longs who never intended to deliver.
	And it was all just this big paper game, right?
	Using LBMA, the COMAX and SLD and just kind of running a rehypothecating triangle trade.
	Now, that trade is breaking down.
	But what it did was it conflated the use, the two main sources of demand for gold and silver in the marketplace.
	The one is this traditional commodities future of coordinating delivery through time by a price, by price discounting and selling forward, right?
	That's what commodity futures are supposed to do.
	They're not evil.
	That's exactly what they're supposed to do.
	You know, producers and consumers can tell each other what they're willing to pay and what they're willing to sell for through time, right?
	That's what they're supposed to be for, the physical delivery of metal or natural gas or whatever it is, right?
	And then there's the currency speculation aspect to gold and silver trading in particular, because both of them trade as forex payers.
	One trades XAG versus USD and the other one trades in the spot market as XAU versus USD.
	They are both currency as well, right?
	So, those two use cases in this paper-silver circle jerk, for lack of a better term, conflated.
	You got to disaggregate them so that you can have commodities, futures, coordinating physical delivery through price and time, and currency speculation.
	Those need to be separate markets.
	So, what's happening is that SLB and GLD, the two gold and silver ETFs, which are basically non-deliverable contracts for difference for the way people would use them in the options market, and they'll use the options market on SLB and GLD as a proxy for currency speculation using gold and silver as the proxy, right?
	And they'll use SLD and DLD as the mechanism, which is great because that separates out the currency speculation portion of the demand.
	On the other side, you have the commodity futures markets where we can actually just move actual metal around.
	And by splitting those two things, you break the LBMA's hold over the value of both not just gold and silver, but the dollar itself, the Chinese yuan itself, the Russian ruble itself.
	You change the nature of the collateral within the entire Forex market.
	Done it with gold and silver.
	We're doing it with gold and silver.
	Copper is clearly next.
	And the final boss for all of this is oil.
	We have to do the same thing with oil.
	So that's part of what Venezuela is about, partly.
	Venezuela is an entire podcast in and of itself, maybe three podcasts, right?
	So that's why you have to cut off Europe, and I mean specifically Northern Europe, non-Mediterranean coast Europe.
	That would be Germany and the Netherlands and England and France and those guys, not Italy, not Greece, not the Balkans, from access to their traditional colonialist extraction mechanisms of natural resources and controlling them through financialization,
	i.e., in the case of gold and silver and other metals, the Canadian banking industry keeping and destroying the profitability of the Canadian mining industry and the Canadian oil industry.
	They have to be able to deliver those commodities into the European market.
	The Ukraine war was started clearly to go get the Russian assets in the ground, and that's failed.
	So now they move their high priest of happy flappy headland, Mark Carney, back into the role of running Canada or ruining Canada in order to secure that future.
	Greenland stops that.
	And so while, you know, at the end of the day, this is where we are.
	I don't see Trump putting troops on the ground agreement.
	I don't think he needs to.
	I think what he's going to do is prove that NATO is a freaking lie.
	And he's going to use it as a means, but he's going to use it by which, as a means by which to dictate terms to NATO as to what the new rules are.
	NATO, of course, is now the members like the UK and France and Germany are all screaming about kicking the United States out of NATO.
	Now, that's a tail risk.
	And the reason that's a tail risk is because the United States, unlike the way most people in the space would argue, the United States is the only thing actually restraining NATO from going to war with Russia.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You're right.
	But these actions would probably end NATO, I would think.
	I mean, in the long run, yes.
	France doesn't want to be a member of NATO.
	They never wanted to be.
	Macron is already talking about it.
	He wants to be the arms dealer of Europe.
	He wants to build the European army.
	Fine.
	That's fine.
	I don't care.
	So let Greenland be the thing that breaks NATO.
	Phenomenal.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Let's watch what Trump does next when he goes to Davos.
	Because what he goes, when he goes to Davos next week, I am 100% with my auntie Susan on this.
	He's going to offer them terms of surrender the same way he went to the king of England and offered them terms of surrender last year.
	All right.
	Well, let's take this to the next step, though.
	If Trump, if Greenland wants to join the United States, okay, they take a vote.
	They want to become the 51st state.
	That'll be fun.
	No, no, no, no.
	Greenland does not get to be a state.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	Sorry.
	I don't even want Alberta to be a 51st state.
	And Alberta actually could.
	I think Alberta needs to be a territory for about 10 or 12 years.
	I was going there next, actually.
	But wouldn't Trump need Quebec and Nova Scotia?
	Alberta is a separate category for energy and so on.
	But what about the eastern side of Canada?
	I mean, if you're going to control from Greenland all the way down.
	I mean, honestly, Mike, I don't think anybody other than the Laurentian elites actually are going to have any control in Canada.
	I mean, dude, we might be at war with Canada in a year.
	I'm not kidding.
	Because Canada represents an actual, honest to God, threat to American national security.
	They always have, by the way.
	And this is the problem.
	We tend to look at them.
	That's why I'm getting really angry.
	Look, it's funny.
	I make fun of the Canadians, even though I love them.
	And I do.
	I love my hockey and I love all of my Canadian patrons.
	And I've got hundreds of them.
	And they all agree with me on this.
	These people need to be removed from power.
	We would like the United States to come in and liberate us.
	I've done that.
	Looking at this as invasions and start looking at these things as liberations.
	Same thing as what's going on in Iran.
	Iran is a liberation from all of this British-French perfidy.
	Because I'm trying to, you know, at least not drop an F-bomb.
	Okay.
	That's what's going on here.
	It's the same thing with Greenland.
	Greenland needs to be liberated.
	Well, but Canada.
	Liberated.
	And then we're not, I don't need them to all be members of the United States.
	I don't need to, you know, I don't, I mean, I don't even think Trump cares.
	Like, they can be their own country, but they can't be crown territory anymore.
	Okay.
	This narrative, though, that we're conquering you to liberate you.
	I mean, this is the narrative of every conqueror through this conqueror.
	I don't know if you're occupied.
	Our military has new bases there.
	Have we occupied that?
	Has we occupied Venezuela?
	No, but we did liberate it.
	Well, not until we liberate the oil rigs and the mines with our soldiers on the process.
	But getting rid of Maduro, putting Russia on notice, putting China on notice, kicking the British out, making the deals with the oil companies.
	What you're doing is you're creating the foundation for the first thing you're doing is you're still basically kind of legitimizing to the Venezuelan people that their governmental, however they want to live, is going to be fine with us.
	Okay.
	Ultimately, we got rid of Maduro.
	We have him in custody, protective custody, as far as I'm concerned.
	And then you leave the existing structure in place.
	Let them, you know, at some point, Del Codriguez is going to stand for elections and the Venezuelan people are going to have the big boot that was on their neck lifted.
	Is it going to be perfect?
	No.
	Is it going to be easy for them to reestablish order?
	No.
	It's not going to be easy.
	Like, look at what Malay has been doing, has had to do down in Argentina.
	He's a perfect example.
	And a guy that I was very, very skeptical of.
	Okay.
	Very skeptical of Malay.
	Look at what's happening across the Sahel region of Africa.
	Look at what's going on at places like Burkina Faso and others.
	Trump's not going to go in there and establish the same old system of IMF loans and extraction.
	No, no, that's all the British stuff.
	He's not going to do any of that.
	Okay.
	What he's going to do is set up partnerships with these people.
	We're going to help rebuild them.
	They're going to get the lion's share and we're going to take our cut.
	And that's a different model than what we've had in the past.
	Isn't that the Chinese model, actually?
	That's what China does.
	The Chinese have a similar model.
	I think it's a little bit more extractive than that, but I'm not, I don't think it's very difficult.
	I don't think it's very different.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's not that hard.
	Like, look, I think if you look at what Trump is trying to do for the United States, it's very similar to what Putin did when he took over Russia, right?
	He had no Putin's, it's not wholly analogous, but it's similar.
	We have oligarchs, we've got all these factions, we've got all these people.
	They're all going to make money.
	There's a lot of people in America who are really butt hurt and want them all to like, you know, for all the terrible things that our corporate overlords have done to us and that we want to like, you know, drag through the streets and tarden feathers.
	I got news for you.
	That's not going to happen.
	These people are going to be able to keep their billions, most of it.
	They're going to have to give some of it back, but some of it on the table.
	No different than what Putin did.
	It's like, look, you're going to get to keep everything, but, you know, you pay your taxes, you stay out of politics, you do your thing.
	Well, same system is literally being going to start happening here in the United States.
	It's somewhat what Xi has done in China.
	China's far more complicated than that.
	I don't want to like, I don't want to further complicate the conversation, but you're not wrong to say that that's kind of what the Chinese are trying to do.
	Now, you want to make partners out of these people.
	You do not want to saddle them with excessive debt and leverage because they'll never make any money.
	Although that has been the British model forever.
	That has been the British.
	The British model, the French model, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the Anglo-Dutch model.
	Absolutely.
	And for all the gold and silver, long-suffering gold and silver mining share holders in the audience, oh my God, like, did you ever think that you were going to make any money?
	Did you look at the balance sheets of these companies?
	Did you look at their debt?
	Did you look at their debt to equity ratios?
	Did you look at the round of fundings and how many times did you have to get crammed down and do another capital raise and blah, And the bank is short against you.
	And then they're sitting on the price of silver and they're running a paper circle jerk game against you and running out the clock on you so that this poor company that finally does, when they finally do get a mine into production, the first, you know, the first 75% of the life of mine has already pledged to pay back the freaking loans.
	Yeah.
	You as a shareholder didn't make any money unless you timed the thing properly because you're because your name is Rick Ruhl, who's by I and I take nothing away from Rick.
	He's brilliant at using at the using the timing to get in properly.
	But you know, but Rick is able to do that because he always goes for a warrant.
	Like he's not dumb.
	He knows what the score is.
	He knows how this works.
	And so, you know, I mean, like, what I'm getting at is that the entire way we finance commodity and capital investigator in the future is going to start changing.
	It is already changing.
	Trump is making partners out of our trade partners who he forced trade deals on to and put tariffs on in order to have them come in and invest in the United States.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	And that's and then eventually the tariffs will go away because it won't be necessary, or there'll be a minimal cost, seven, you know, five to seven percent, and that's what's going to fund our government.
	And then we're not going to have to pay income taxes anymore.
	I don't think those tariff numbers replace the 3 trillion of federal income taxes.
	No, it does when you it does when you get rid of the 1.6 to 2 trillion dollars worth of fraud.
	Yeah, well, there you go.
	Yeah, that we got to slash government by some significant amount.
	But I'm glad you mentioned 10% work head, workforce reduction, headcount reduction in the federal government in 2025 alone.
	10%.
	That's what he did.
	They did it.
	10%.
	I mean, I'm sorry.
	It's true.
	Okay.
	You're not going to stop it tomorrow.
	It's like, you know, I got to go to 90% tomorrow.
	What do you want to look at now?
	No, but if we could do 10%, right?
	If we could do 10% a year.
	Well, let's see what 2026 is.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	But domestically, okay, answer this question for me.
	And this is all really fascinating, but I believe the reindustrialization of America is going to be way more challenging than what Trump imagines because we don't have the work ethic.
	We don't have the skill set that we had post-World War II.
	You know, China is a nation of engineers, as Catherine Austin Fitz says, and U.S. is a nation of lawyers.
	Like we don't, we don't have the people to run the factories.
	Now, Trump can bring factories, build the factories, you know, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, build the factories.
	Great.
	Who's going to run it?
	I think becoming an electrician is not that hard.
	I think becoming a steam fitter.
	If you can't read it, not being a steam fitter is not that hard.
	I'm dead serious.
	Like Mike Rowe is out there getting these kids trained every day.
	Yeah, we haven't a need for them.
	Sure.
	Like they already have in place.
	If FYI, anybody listening to this wants to become an electrician or a tile guy or whatever, you can go to Home Depot tomorrow and they'll get you the basic certificate to get you started.
	So you think we can retrain program.
	What's that?
	You think we can retrain the workforce?
	Why can't we?
	Well, it's the way generations are.
	Because we just believe that we can't.
	Like, seriously.
	I'm telling you, I'm talking to people every day who are in their mid-40s looking for an opportunity to go and actually do some meaningful work.
	But are they willing to work in factories?
	Absolutely.
	Really?
	They're willing to work for anything where they make money.
	My daughter would rather, my daughter's got a, has got a, you know, a paper, paper pushing job, a good, a good entry-level job at, for example, at UF, labeling samples and doing, you know, and doing, doing that, and doing very important work for the people whose, you know, whose medical care, it matters, right?
	It matters that she does good work.
	Yeah.
	She's going to become an electrician tomorrow.
	Like, it's not hard.
	Like, I just, I think we, again, Mike, this is, again, this idea, this, this learned helplessness or this learned obsolescence.
	I think there's a way too much bearishness here.
	Like, if you want to go out, if people see the point of going out and getting the job, they will go out and get the job.
	But if the job doesn't pay enough to cover their basic costs, then they're not going to go.
	Sure.
	Right.
	Right.
	So what we have to, so what he's doing is, look, here's one for you.
	I saw this the other day.
	Household wealth in the United States in 2025 rose by 7.1% in 2025, in one year, 7.1%.
	But not evenly distributed, that's for sure.
	Oh, of course not.
	It's never going to be even.
	It's never evenly distributed.
	But if you look at what he's trying to do in terms of rejiggering the tax policy, rejiggering the Depreciation rules for small businesses and the full full expensing for capital plant equipment, all this stuff.
	It starts there and then the jobs start to come and then the workforce will get retrained.
	And look, at the end of the day, either you'll take the nose ring out and wash out the purple hair dye and go get a job, or you can sit around all day and be resentful and wait for the next call from George Soros for $20 an hour to go protest the demon Trump, or you can get a job.
	There are jobs out there.
	And we all know.
	I want to ask you about.
	Okay, point taken.
	I want to ask you about the protest because you mentioned earlier that Trump is forcing leftists and Democrats into moves at a more accelerated schedule than what they probably planned on.
	Doesn't it play right into Trump's hands if the left really starts an armed insurrection at this point?
	If they try to attack ICE agents more violently, then Trump just says, you know, insurrection act time.
	And they're trying to force him into that move so that then the governor, then the seditious governors can all call him a tyrant and lark that they care and all the rest of it.
	Trump has already showed you what it looks like.
	He's already, what's the word I'm looking for?
	He's already trial ballooned and already tested, beta tested what it looks like when they do the rent the beaner mob out in LA last summer, or now they're doing, and then he turned right, he turned right around.
	What's the first thing he did?
	He nationalized the state guard, he sent in the Marines.
	And guess what?
	He took zero political pushback for it.
	None, zero.
	The only people who complained about it were the traitors in Congress.
	Right.
	The American people were like, more of that.
	Now, he since then hasn't done that, but he knows that he can get away with it, right?
	Because he did it.
	He put the governors on notice.
	Hey, dudes, you think you're going to be able to like nationalize or you're going to be able to move against national assets like this?
	No.
	I can call these people in whenever I want.
	The Supreme Court, the only kind of loss he took from the Supreme Court was that the Supreme Court said, look, dude, you can't do it that way.
	You got to go.
	You got to, you know, you got to just declare the Insurrection Act and invoke it and this move the military in.
	Okay.
	Again, we are, Mike.
	Here's the thing, Mike.
	I think the better way, in order for everybody to understand my perspective on this a little bit more, is the following.
	We're at war.
	We've already lost the country.
	Country's gone.
	You want to get it back?
	You got to go to war.
	You're in a war.
	And so you're not on the verge of, oh my God, it could be a civil war.
	Oh, we could lose the country if we lose the midterms.
	No, We've already lost the country.
	We lost it during the Biden hunt.
	And now we're fighting to get it back.
	Now, when you're fighting for your home, do you have a martial mindset or do you have a lawyer's mindset?
	And I think that if you reframe it that way and you stop, and we all, and this is the royal you, this is not you personally, this is the royal you for the audience.
	If you reframe the concept of war, which it is at this point in time, war is not being fought by state actors.
	It's not America versus the British.
	Line up the armies and fight it out.
	That's not what's going on here.
	We're not doing that.
	We have non-state actors who do not respect political borders, do not respect sovereignty, running massive financial and logistical armed, organized crime networks around the world, killing and kidnapping people, subjugating them, enslaving them, and everything else in multiple different ways.
	And at that moment in time, when that's the state of war, we are in a state of war all the time.
	In order to finish this job or to stop the war, you're going to have to fight it like it's a war.
	Now, you can do so right up into and including the legal limit to do so, that the president is allowed to do so.
	What 2025 was all about was Trump establishing, reestablishing the limits of Article II executive power.
	And he's walked right up to the line multiple times and sometimes he's walk over it a little bit.
	Yeah, okay.
	Then he gets slapped back in.
	Fine.
	You need to know where the line is.
	So you don't know where this line is.
	Yeah, I trump or I think everybody's a little bit uncomfortable with the fact that, oh, by the way, the American president has a ridiculous amount of power.
	Well, he's exercising that power very aggressively internationally.
	But in my opinion, love your response on this.
	He's failing to exercise that power domestically.
	So why do we still not have the arrests of Clapper and Comey and Fauci for that matter, right?
	What's going on?
	And the traitors, the obvious traitors who stole the 2020 election.
	And I agree that at a certain point, he's going to have to start making those moves, but it's going to have to be, you know, it's like everything else.
	I share the frustration.
	I really, really do.
	Do I want to see these people like, you know, indicted and tarred and feathered and, you know, hung over the Washington reflecting pool and then fed the dogs?
	Like, of course.
	Like, who doesn't?
	Right.
	And I mean, and I'm not kidding.
	Like, that's what I want to say.
	I don't know about you, but that's what I want to say.
	But that is the end of the process, frankly.
	Okay.
	If you fix all the other things where you're fixing the society first and you're fixing the fraud and you're stopping the outflow of the money, if you stop the theft, because if you stop the flow of money, then you can, it's triage.
	You're trying to stop the bleeding so that you can actually have a society so that you can start winning.
	We're not going to win at the legal level.
	They've got the legal stuff down.
	If you want to get Comey, Brennan, Obama, the goal is Obama.
	Yeah, right.
	The goal is, the goal is to get the king to abdicate and tear down.
	It's not just to abdicate, for the king to dissolve parliament in the UK.
	Okay.
	And restore the proper order of things.
	There's many, there are a lot of big things that have to happen.
	And then all these other people will eventually either go to jail or they won't or, you know, whatever.
	Like Obama, he's going to get Obama.
	And if you're going to go after Obama, it's got to be airtight.
	And it's got to be at a point when you've solidified and stabilized the society and the country to the point where, yeah, icing on the cake and we got Obama and Hillary.
	And they all know they're caught.
	Now you use the fact that they are caught as the means by which to get the legislative agenda passed that will actually fix the country.
	The thing that has really, really impressed me in terms of how they've operated, and I, you know, look, three weeks ago, I was like, things look pretty, pretty grim, right?
	And I'm not kidding.
	Was very, I mean, not, I mean, I usually come out and try and do my best to say, okay, here's the good stuff and the idea of the problems and everything else.
	But privately, you know, you game plan out all the way these things can go wrong.
	And I'm not trying to say I don't look at those things.
	I do.
	I look at them very seriously.
	So, you know, this time last month, right before Christmas, yeah, things look pretty crappy.
	I'm not going to argue.
	Not going to lie.
	I said, well, let's give it 30 to 60 days.
	Let's see what he does when he comes out in 2026.
	All of the, so as they're uncovering, or not as they're uncovering, as they're informing everybody, the extent to which the Somali fraud in Minnesota was is, right?
	They knew about this back in July, by the way.
	Of course.
	Hospital the other day and said, you know, we were in Minnesota, you know, in July.
	We knew exactly what was going on, but Trump held it all back until a particular moment.
	Because at the same time, now he's got all the smurping numbers on all the senators.
	The $63 million for this guy and the $20 million, Lindsey Graham, and Amy Flobuchar and this one and that one and everybody else.
	At some point, that's real money.
	That's real leverage.
	And that's when everybody's manila envelope quotient, as I like to put it at their MEQ, enters the conversation.
	What matters now is you won't go to jail, but you're going to vote for this.
	This just this morning, they put out their latest budget reconciliation bill, the things they want in the new budget reconciliation bill in the House.
	It's fascinating.
	It's more, it's even more of what we were hoping for.
	It's getting rid of capital gains tax on your house sale if you're a boomer and you're selling it to a first-time homebuyer, for example.
	That's a bigger one.
	Okay?
	Like, that's huge.
	Like, there's a, there's a whole laundry list in there of great things.
	And how are they going to get that one through?
	The same way they got the one big, beautiful bill through.
	Okay.
	And there's probably, is one big beautiful bill great?
	In many ways, it is.
	And in other ways, it's, yeah, it's not enough.
	Okay, fine.
	It also doesn't fully fully fund the entire government.
	There's still plenty of our government running under Biden rules because our Congress has not passed any of that.
	So we've got another issue here.
	All the healthcare stuff, all the, you know, all the help, the Obamacare subsidies, he wants to distribute that to the people and let them argue for their, you know, negotiate for their own health insurance, reforming Obamacare without actually having to do any of the hard, you know what I mean?
	Like all of this is getting done.
	And I think that he's using all of these things in order to get the leverage he needs to get Congress to pass the legislative agenda that's necessary.
	Remember, they only passed five freaking pieces of legislation in 2025.
	Right, right.
	But this, okay, so this leverage, which apparently he's getting more and more leverage over the current members of Congress, but of course, the clock is ticking because the midterms are coming up and then the swear-ins are roughly a little under a year from now.
	So Trump's got basically 12 months to make or break his future and his plan for America.
	Yeah, the country.
	It's not just Trump.
	It's actually the country.
	What do you think is likely to happen right now?
	Let's be honest.
	Trump doesn't have the same support base that he had, you know, a year ago.
	He doesn't.
	There's a lot more people now independent.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	What do you think is likely to happen?
	I just don't buy it.
	I just don't buy it.
	I really, I don't.
	I really don't.
	I think that there are lies, damn lies, statistics, polling and British polling.
	Yeah, I don't believe polling.
	In that order of crappy data.
	Well, and the Democrats haven't given America any better option.
	That's for sure.
	Democrats still suck, like always.
	And all Trump has to do is turn up the heat on these people.
	Yeah.
	And he'll hand everybody back.
	And let's clean up the voting rolls and let's get Congress to actually pass voter integrity.
	What do you think Maduro is all about?
	Is that going to happen?
	Are we going to get rid of the black box voting machines?
	I think it's already done.
	But you don't think the Dems can rig the elections in their own districts?
	No, I don't.
	Not to the same rate, not to the same level before, because Venezuela was ground zero for a lot of what was going on.
	Yes, that's a lot.
	No argument.
	We've got that one.
	You clean up the voter rolls and get rid of the dead people voting and all the illegals voting and all this.
	And you deport all these people and you get rid of them.
	This is part of the problem.
	I'm not saying it's easy.
	I know Tom Fitton's cleaning up voter rolls too.
	His organization.
	Tom Fisk.
	Yes.
	Tom Fitten's a great guy.
	So cleaning that stuff up.
	We have the problem.
	I went over this from my patrons the other day in my market report that I do for them every Wednesday.
	Oh, you want to plug that too, by the way?
	How do people become one of your patrons?
	It's Patreon slash gold, goats, and guns.
	Just look me up.
	You'll find me.
	It's not that high.
	Golds and guns.
	You can find it.
	There's a link right on the website.
	You can find it on my Twitter profile.
	I also post all the market reports as Twitter posts when they come out.
	So if you're interested, boom, you can sign up, watch one.
	It's only $4 a month.
	It's not even all that much money.
	You waste more on a candy bar at this point or a bad cup of or a burned cup of coffee from Starbucks than, you know.
	But when I was saying in the market reports the other day, I was going over some statistics.
	And remember, you and I both, we have that background.
	Polls in and of themselves have very, very, I would say, generous error bars on them.
	This poll is a blunt.
	It's got a, you know, and then they wave their hands and they make some, they make some arguments and they, and they slap a plus or minus 4% on it or 3% or whatever the hell it is.
	That's already your noise level, right?
	For whatever the number is.
	Everybody loves the number, but they forget that the poll, that, you know, that every number from, so they say 51% of the people are unhappy with the way Trump is doing blah.
	Okay, fine.
	That's great.
	But first, you've got the bias of the question itself and what it implies.
	And people like to answer questions honestly.
	So then you can bias the result that way.
	Then there's going to be 3% to 4% worth of plus or minus on that.
	So they say 51%, that means anything from 47% to 55% is noise.
	It's got to be higher than that or lower than that.
	Then there's the other problem.
	And then will that affect how you vote?
	Polls do not matter if they do not correlate to a mechanism by which you can predict how people are going to vote, right?
	Yes.
	A poll in and of itself means nothing.
	It's just data.
	But if that data cannot be used to then create a predictive model about how people are going to vote in the future and what that's going to look like, doesn't mean anything.
	Now, here's the thing.
	If you have all this data and the voting data in the past that we've had and the pollsters are all out there, even if they're like doing God's work in the process, they're all on the up and up and they're all squeaky clean and their methodology and everything else.
	They still have the fundamental problem.
	And the fundamental problem is that all of this is built on the Assumption that our elections are approximately at best on the best of days 0.5% accurate, right?
	Meaning, there's about a half percent worth of error, be it, you know, just be it mishandling or localized corruption or whatever the whatever the sources of error are.
	And there's a bunch of them, and they're all kind of small and they propagate out to about half percent.
	Here's the problem.
	And we know this for important elections, the error is more like 5% to 10%, right?
	There's stuff in ballots with 250,000 ballots in a house race.
	That's a 30% error right there.
	Yeah, I mean, in swing states, the Democrats made sure.
	Well, again, both the Republicans are just as freaking third.
	Don't kid yourself.
	They all freaking cheat.
	My point is the pollsters' methods are predicated on the lie of what their theory of action is, what their theory of outcome is.
	The poll means nothing if it's based on the, if they structure their poll based on trying to figure out how people are going to vote in an election where they can just cheat and cheat a lot more than that source of error.
	So that their 4% error in their poll plus their 0.5% error in the election itself, that gives you an error bar.
	Some of the squares, take the square root of the sum of the squares.
	That's your error bar, right?
	Basic everyday an error analysis.
	Well, what if the election is actually 5% or 7%, and the pollsters are all using that as a means by which to connect and create a model for themselves of how to poll.
	Then the whole thing is nothing but a complete and utter disinformation campaign.
	It's a feedback loop of bad data.
	It's a feedback loop of bad data.
	Exactly.
	And it starts to look like medical data.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It starts to look like vaccine data or whatever.
	So at the end of the day, I would tell everybody it's being used to gaslight you into believing something that isn't necessarily true.
	Okay.
	Most of the people in this country, if we were to clean up the voting rolls, we would actually get to see what the people, how they actually want to, if they were to actually be able to express themselves honestly, everybody's elections now would look like Florida's.
	Have you noticed that once they cleaned up the voter rolls in Florida and once they cleaned up the voting process and standardized it across all 67 counties in Florida, that Florida can count 30 million votes in like an hour?
	Yeah.
	And oh, by the way, and then we found out that Florida is like 60, 40 red and not purple.
	Yeah, and that's probably true for much of California as well.
	Right.
	And Texas and Massachusetts and Connecticut and New York and this is the this is the point.
	They have to keep pounding you over the head with splitting and it's not working.
	And every day I listen to these people and like, who are you working for?
	Are you?
	I mean, I look at some people and I'm like, do you just have stock in polymarket?
	Yeah.
	But I'm not convinced yet.
	I mean, we still don't have nationwide voter ID, not even close.
	The states won't allow it.
	We still have black box voting machines.
	Ballot stuffing, ballot mueling, all of those things are still going to go on.
	And we still have mail-in ballot printing like crazy in the blue areas.
	That's been solved.
	I think what's really going to be interesting is whether or not Trump then turns around and declares a national emergency around the around the elections themselves and stashes military at every freaking polling place in America for I've talked about the same scenario and I think the military has to count the votes.
	It's the only way we're going to have an honest election.
	I think that that I think that that is very, very possible.
	If Congress doesn't do its job, the executive will.
	And the way to justify the troops counting the votes is to have a big national emergency leading up to the election day.
	Or just the fact that Congress refuses to do its job, right?
	Yeah.
	Trump can declare a national emergency around this already because he has all the data.
	He has all proof that they stole the 2020 election.
	I firmly believe that that is continuing, is going to continue to dribble out, if not hit us over the head like a bombshell.
	If I have to make a prediction here, Mike, they're going to time.
	I don't do, I don't, I don't really like to make predictions anymore.
	I'll make a prediction for you.
	We're going to find out just what they did in the 2020 election in the next 90 days.
	I think you're right.
	I think you're right.
	Or some are by later.
	I think every bit of it is all going to come out.
	I think you're right.
	And he's going to do fireside chats and cabinet meetings and the whole nine yards.
	And he's going to lay it all out for the people and he's going to say, and that's why we will have the military at every polling station in America on the night of the midterms to ensure that we have an honest vote.
	No mystery water leaks at three in the morning and all of it.
	And there's not going to be any more bringing boxes of mail and ballots in and there's not going to be any of this nonsense and it's all going away.
	We have an election on election night.
	I mean, this is why what I just said about Florida is the key.
	This is.
	Right.
	And we can get the thing done in a day.
	Okay.
	And then that would give Trump at least two more years to pursue the international agenda.
	He would wind up with a, he would wind up with a majority in the House that would be so big and probably pick up seats in the Senate that would be so massive that it would be like FDR rolling the Republicans for 40 years.
	Right, right.
	All right.
	Well, and the Democrats aren't doing themselves any favors either right now.
	I mean, they have nothing to offer America.
	They're in burn it to the, they know they can't win.
	So now they're in burn it to the ground mode.
	That's right.
	That's why you're seeing Mark Carney crash out the way he's crashing out.
	That's why you're seeing Kier Starmer in England.
	They're all, all the globalists are in Joker mode.
	Just let's just burn it all to the ground and try and prove to people that people suck.
	Yeah.
	Go back to why.
	Do me a favor, folks.
	Rewatch the dark night and make the Joker into Davos.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And you'll see the story right in front of your eyes.
	And that's what you're fighting.
	Now, how do you deal with that guy?
	I don't know.
	Well, me personally.
	Me personally, I'm not allowed to say because we're on YouTube.
	So there you go.
	No, we are.
	I am permanently banned from YouTube.
	Okay, cool.
	Then we're not on YouTube.
	Then we pop two in the back of his head and we'd be done with it.
	Whose head?
	But the Joker.
	The Joker.
	Okay.
	You deal with that guy.
	You deal with that guy by dealing with that guy.
	Well, maybe that's what he would.
	Wouldn't give a second thought to murdering you.
	That's true.
	So I want to be a lifeguard for the gene pool.
	Okay.
	Well, Tom, I greatly appreciate your analysis.
	You've given me a little bit more hope, perhaps.
	I was feeling pretty frustrated about some of the recent things that were going on.
	Thank you for some additional explanation.
	Tell people how they can follow you and reach you and also your Twitter handle or X.
	Sure.
	My Twitter handle, because I like to dead name things when I can and be as unpolitically correct as possible is TFL1728.
	And you can follow, you know, you can hit the blog at tomalwongo.me.
	You can sign up with the Patreon at Patreon slash gold, goats and guns.
	We have podcasts I do infrequently whenever the spirit moves me and I need and I feel like I've got somebody on the hook that who has something I really need to find out about.
	And I really do recommend the podcast in that respect because I think it really is an all-signal, no noise kind of thing.
	I'd rather do one podcast a month than do 50 that aren't any good.
	So that's the way I do it.
	Well, all your podcasts are like it.
	So what's special about 1728 that it's part of your username?
	Oh, God.
	Do you know THX 1138 is the first George Lucas film.
	So TFL are my initials.
	So 1728.
	Well, 17 is my favorite number.
	And you do the thing where you're like, he does, he is a trans all the characters in that movie have a, if you go through the castle, I'm very geeky about this.
	They all have like a weird pattern within their number.
	It's not, it's not a big deal.
	17 is my favorite number.
	So 1728.
	It's not a year that something special.
	Yeah, yeah, no, I think Green Lab would be founded right around 1728.
	No, no, no.
	I'm not that geopolitically hip when I put that one together.
	Okay.
	You could think like 1728, it also happens to be the distance of the power generators in the Battle of Hoth in the Empire Strikes Factory.
	That's how much of a geek I am.
	And the handle stuck.
	And I just should have actually just gotten one and got my name ages ago, but I'm stubborn.
	So there it is.
	So honestly, Joel Malazzi from the showrunner from Stargate will really appreciate finding out where my handle came from.
	I think we're such bike geeks.
	It's not funny.
	Well, and we're also, you know, you and I are both kind of lab geeks too.
	And I got to tell you, I'm about to go take a look.
	We're finally nailing down our dioxide testing sample prep procedure to get the lipids out of the freaking samples so that we can get the sensitivity on the dioxins.
	And it's the lipid removal step that is the hardest thing in the world.
	I don't doubt it.
	And I am not an organic chemistry, not organic chemist in any way other than I understand the basis.
	I understand the basic chemistry of straight chain hydrocarbons, i.e. oil.
	Because I was a UV-vis spectroscopist for 20 years, and then I got into electrolysis, you know, electrolysis plating and metallurgy and all that.
	Yeah, that's what I did for a while.
	I mean, I have a, you know, I did, I did a, I did a big, I did a five-year project on a Nickel Boron company, Nickelboron startup.
	Oh, that's right.
	I have you to thank for the reason my AR-15 doesn't jam.
	If you have a fail-zero, um, I do.
	I have many.
	Are you kidding me?
	If you have a fail-zero, yeah.
	That's my, that's my coding.
	That's your, that's your coding.
	It's like Teflon.
	Yes, it is.
	I mean, and it's like really, really hard Teflon.
	Yeah.
	And all you have to do to clean your gun is go, all right, it's clean.
	I know.
	Even a direct impingement AR with your metals, it never jams, never jams.
	It's amazing.
	And you get, and you get better pressure because and you get better cycling because the natural lubricances of the coding and everything else.
	Absolutely.
	No, I run the 300 Blackout with THE BOLT Carrier group of Fails, YOUR.
	I have my CZ85 Combat up in the up off camera and I had it, I had it played it before I left, before I got you know, before I got laid off.
	Basically, you know it.
	Just at the end of the day we, we ran out of money and I was the future products guy and there was no future product, so that was the end of it.
	Well um no no yeah, but uh, you know, and sadly we also didn't, you know, like a lot of like a lot of companies, like a lot of startups, we wound up.
	You know it was a.
	It was a tough time.
	I can talk about it now, but yeah, it was tough.
	Of course, all of my stock options were worth nothing by the time it was all done.
	So I got to do a really cool job.
	I have a great story to tell.
	And I learned an off, a ton about hydrogen generation catalysts and plating and this.
	And it made me a better chemist and maybe a better analyst in every way.
	So it was a great.
	That's amazing.
	Well, thank you, Tom, for your contributions to the world.
	And thank you for what you have offered us here today.
	Really appreciate your analysis.
	And we'll talk again soon.
	Just have a great rest of your day.
	Thank you, Mike.
	And thanks for the invite.
	It was good catching up with you.
	You too.
	Best, everyone.
	Okay.
	Thank you, Tom.
	And thank you, all of you for watching.
	There you go.
	Tom Luongo, everybody.
	Gold, goats, and guns.
	And yes, he really is a high-level chemist as well.
	We have him to thank for why our rifles don't jam.
	So all-around good guy.
	That's that's awesome.
	Be sure to check out more interviews at brighteon.com.
