Fat Wars Maneuver 00:03:41
	Alright folks, welcome to BrightCam Bodcast.
	I'm Mike Adams and it is Tuesday, January 20th, 2026.
	January 20th.
	You know what that means?
	One year ago, Trump was sworn in as the peace president.
	How's that going?
	How's that going?
	I don't know.
	I saw a video of apparently a bunch of soldiers being unloaded off of aircraft in Greenland.
	And, you know, I guess these are like Denmark men.
	And I don't mean to be crude, but man, they're all fat.
	And then, of course, the U.S. soldiers are also all fat.
	So when the U.S. fat soldiers land and try to fight the fat Greenland soldiers, I think we should call it fat wars.
	Fat wars or otherwise to shorten it, known as fatwa.
	Oh, or is that too much?
	Is that too much humor right up front?
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, these soldiers are so fat that when they fall down in the snow, they don't make snow angels.
	They make snow squids.
	It's bad.
	I'm telling you.
	I mean, look, I'm not mocking the body weight of non-soldiers.
	I'm saying if you're a soldier, don't you have to be able to be mobile?
	I mean, just by definition, you know, right?
	You shoot and maneuver.
	The maneuver part requires maneuvering.
	I'm just saying, whatever.
	Okay, changing the subject, I've got an interview for you today that's going to be really great because it's an interview with Marjorie Wildcraft about the civil war that's erupting and what it means for your food supply and why you're going to need your own domestic food, you know, your local food, because, well, supply chains are going to get wrecked in certain areas, obviously the blue cities and many other things.
	So that's a great interview coming up.
	I've also got a special report for you here.
	Another geeky special report about sulfur or sodium sulfur batteries.
	And there's a new breakthrough.
	And this is a breakthrough out of China, as you might expect.
	And it could make lithium batteries completely obsolete for real.
	And amazingly, they claim to have achieved a 2,000 watt hours per kilogram of energy density.
	2,000.
	That's way above anything that has been known for any battery technology that I'm aware of, but especially for sodium sulfur, which has never been impressive until now.
	So it has to do with chemistry and stuff and redox reactions and stuff.
	Science.
	Anyway, they figured it out.
	And I also wanted to mention how amazing it's going to be that Europe, which now apparently was it Norway that put out some kind of alert to everybody that said, we're going to have military acquisitions now.
	I don't know if it's Norway or some other country.
	They said we can come take your house, your car, your tractors, your equipment, everything from you because it's military acquisition.
Laughing At Trump 00:12:31
	And, you know, we're going to be in a war.
	And little did they know that the war they were going to be in wasn't a war with Russia, even though they tried to start that war many times over.
	It's going to be a war with America.
	Oh my God.
	They didn't see that one coming.
	Trump sucked him with the left and sucked him with the right.
	Kapow rock'em sock'em robots.
	Knocked him down with the old one-two Trump punch.
	Because they didn't see that coming.
	And so I'm laughing my balls off here because not that I'm encouraging Trump to keep claiming more and more territory.
	But what I figured yesterday, and I said in my podcast yesterday, I said, well, you know, look, the European countries have decided they don't really want their land because they're not willing to defend their borders at all.
	So why shouldn't someone just walk in and take it?
	You know, seriously, why shouldn't someone walk in and take it?
	The European country, I'm not talking about the people of Europe.
	We love the people everywhere.
	Some great people in Britain, great Germans, great people in France and Poland and Romania and Austria and even occasionally in the Nordic countries as well.
	No, I love the Swiss.
	They're awesome.
	But their leaders are insane lunatics and suicide cultists.
	So they destroyed their domestic energy supply.
	They destroyed their entire military or sent everything to Ukraine to be destroyed by Russia, which already happened.
	And then they destroyed their own culture by destroying their borders.
	And then they destroyed the rule of law and they destroyed anything remaining in freedom of speech.
	They arrested all their people for daring to complain about their crumbling countries.
	So why shouldn't they be conquered?
	I can't think of a reason why the leaders of any European countries actually deserve to have a country at all.
	They've basically forfeited their country.
	So it's kind of just up for grabs, free for the taking.
	And Trump's like, well, we'll take it then.
	And that's exactly what's going to happen.
	I can't stop laughing.
	What am I laughing at?
	fact that that europe is going to end up in a war with america the very country that they have to buy their weapons from um the the very country that provided almost all the funding and all the equipment for nato which was supposed to protect europe from russia or the soviet union actually right and
	And now it turns out that America is just going to walk in and conquer Western Europe, or at least whatever parts that Trump wants.
	Not all of it.
	I mean, you know, certain parts nobody wants.
	But this is hilarious.
	And, you know, I got to say, I really like British MP George Galloway.
	I think George Galloway is awesome.
	He speaks the truth.
	He's not willing to be censored by authorities.
	You know, he's a fighter.
	He's a freedom fighter.
	And here, as an American yank, I admire George Galloway, even though there are very few members of any kind of parliament that I ever have much admiration for.
	But George Galloway is an exception to that.
	And I'd like to play for you a clip from George Galloway that sort of encapsulates, but actually with more detail and better stated, the things that I just said.
	But check this out.
	This is George Galloway, a British MP.
	Here we go.
	It is unable to join the more gung-ho members of NATO.
	That's relative, of course.
	The French sent 15 soldiers.
	The Germans sent 15 soldiers and then quickly withdrew them.
	The British have sent one soldier.
	That's right.
	One soldier.
	They can't join the more gung-ho Europeans because Britain is an American occupied country.
	It is a country where the intelligence services are basically merged, as Kier Starmer told us amidst the circumlocution earlier today.
	And we are occupied by American military bases.
	They're called Royal Air Force bases, but you won't find the king saluted in them.
	So we are in a jam.
	Having told people all of my lifetime, this is an important point, I think, all of my lifetime, we've been told the Russians were coming.
	The Russians were about to invade Europe.
	And we had to spend like bilio on military hardware.
	We had to possess nuclear weapons because the Russians were coming.
	And as it turns out, it's the Americans that are coming.
	And the Russians have no interest in the matter whatsoever.
	You can imagine the damage to the armor propra of the British state and its propaganda machine of all this.
	You need to have a heart of stone not to laugh, as Oscar Wilde said on the death scene in Little Nell by Charles Dickens.
	It's enough to make a horse laugh.
	It certainly got me laughing.
	So there you go, George Galloway.
	Yeah, realizing, well, exactly what's going on.
	So yesterday my podcast was all about Trump filing for divorce with Europe.
	But actually, Trump is essentially declaring war on Western Europe.
	And it begs the question, if Western Europe is going to have to fight a two-front war, that is a war against Russia from the East, and then also a war against America from the West, and I guess maybe the Northwest, if you include Greenland, then this starts to look very similar to World War II, doesn't it?
	When the German Nazis were fighting against Russia on the East and then fighting against the Allies on the West.
	Yeah, same kind of thing, except the fascists have spread since the days of the Third Reich, and the fascists now run all of Western Europe, especially the UK, but also France and also Germany, etc.
	So it's just a giant failed subcontinent of lunatic woke fascists, actually.
	And I would say that most of the people that live in these European countries want their own governments to fall.
	So when I say that the world will celebrate the fall of the British Empire or the fall of the German leadership or the fall of French leadership, I'm not saying something that's unpopular.
	I'm saying something that's wildly popular with the people of those countries because they're just as frustrated as you and I. More so because they have to live under the insanity.
	So I would say the people of Germany can't wait for the German government to collapse.
	And so Trump's doing them a favor, if you think about it, by really Trump's doing them a favor by accelerating the collapse of Germany, accelerating the energy collapse, the economic collapse, the currency collapse, the political collapse.
	I know it's going to suck in the short term, but before long, maybe the German people can have a chance to reboot their country and have a new Germany that's actually rooted in the core principles that the German people ethically used to hold dear.
	Principles of genius and brilliance and discipline and hard work and family and loving your country instead of allowing it to be invaded all the time by foreigners.
	So the German people can't wait for Germany to be rebooted.
	And I would say the French people can't wait for France to be rebooted.
	And definitely the British people cannot wait for Britain or Great Britain to be rebooted.
	And at the same time, the Scottish and the Irish and everybody else, they can't wait either for historical reasons.
	So Trump's doing them all a favor.
	How cool is that?
	You know, Trump is kind of like, I realize he's like a comic book character at this point.
	Hulk smash Europe, you know, with two fists.
	Trump smash Europe.
	That's fine, but it's getting the job done that needs to be done.
	He's not smashing the people.
	It's smashing the, you know, the central banks, the LBMA.
	It's smashing the leadership.
	It's smashing MI6, the secret police, all the sickos that run France, you know, the corrupt officials that run Germany, the woke morons that run the whole place, every country.
	Well, maybe not always Austria, but it depends.
	Depends on which election cycle.
	But Trump's doing them a favor, actually.
	So they should thank Trump.
	They should bend down and they should all give Trump all their medals.
	Every medal they ever won, if they won a medal playing T-ball when they were seven years old and they got a little kid's medal, they should give it to Trump.
	Trump should have like the hall of medals with the Nobel Peace Prize and everything else that everybody gave him.
	All the European countries should give him all their medals and beg for forgiveness for being stupid.
	And Trump would just say, I understand you're begging for forgiveness, but yeah, we're not interested in your forgiveness.
	You know, go pound sand.
	We're going to take all your resources because you suck.
	So that's what Trump is doing right now.
	I mean, in the process of doing.
	And again, I can't stop laughing.
	I just can't stop laughing.
	In a way, see, look, I recognize that Trump is totally lawless and this is geopolitically totally insane, but I kind of hope he succeeds.
	Because I just, I want to see the leaders of Western Europe, I want to see the look on their twisted transgender faces when they realize what idiots they are, that they lost everything and they're all going to be overthrown by their own people.
	I want to see the look on their faces.
	And only Trump can deliver that, it seems, with external pressure.
	And besides, you know, look, Western civilizations, it's collapsing anyway.
	The U.S. Empire is collapsing too.
	So this is the circus stage.
	You know, this is the circus stage of Western civilization, where it's President Trump at war with the royal clown or crown, I mean, clowns.
	It's a circus.
	And you can't help but laugh at it.
	Meanwhile, there's craziness happening in America as well.
	And you may have seen this clip.
	If not, I got to play it for you.
	So apparently, this is authoritarianism at the local level in the United States.
	So here's the setup.
	The mayor of Miami Beach didn't like what a local citizen said about his censorship or his support for international wars or whatever.
	Didn't like what the citizen said on Facebook.
	So the mayor sends police to the door of this citizen to intimidate this person over their Facebook post.
Police Searches Explained 00:07:44
	Now, you've seen videos like this out of the UK a lot.
	You know, the British clown police love to visit people's homes and pretend like they violated some law or something.
	That's all the British police do.
	They don't arrest illegals.
	They don't arrest rapists, people who stab people, murderers, looters.
	No, the entire UK police force focuses on terrorizing people in their own homes over social media posts.
	That's all they do.
	It's like the Keystone Cops clown show.
	But this is coming to America, or at least it's coming to Miami.
	Or I'm sorry, Miami Beach.
	Not exactly the same thing.
	But check out this video because it's hilarious.
	This is British-style intimidation censorship that has come to America.
	And look at this dweeb moron cop intimidating this homeowner, acting like he's in the right.
	It's unbelievable.
	Check this out.
	Is that your account?
	I refuse to answer questions without my lawyer present.
	No, I really don't know how to answer that question either way.
	Okay, like I said, you're not going to jail.
	This is freedom of speech.
	This is America, right?
	All right.
	And I agree with you 100%.
	We're just trying to see if it's you, but if we're not talking to the right person, we want to go see who the right person is.
	Okay, how can I help you?
	So pretty much it's just a statement that was made as far as, you know, it says the guy who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians, tried to shut down a theater for showing a movie that hurt his feelings and refuses to stand up for the LGBTQ community in any way, even leave the room when they vote on related matters, wants you to know that you're all welcome.
	Clown face, clown face, clown face.
	Three days ago.
	I'm not going to answer whether that's me or not.
	Okay.
	The concerning part and not concerning for the person who's posting it, well, we're just trying to prevent somebody else getting agitated or agreeing with the statement.
	We're not saying it's true or not.
	Understood.
	That guy who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians, that can probably incite somebody to do something radical.
	That's all we're here to talk about.
	And we wanted to get your side of it.
	Was you that posted that?
	To, I would think, to refrain from posting things like that, because that could get something inside.
	I appreciate your concern.
	I appreciate you coming out here.
	Okay, that's it.
	That is it.
	I'm going to maintain my amendment rights to not answer the question about what they're doing.
	I hope that's understandable.
	We appreciate that.
	Thank you as well.
	You as well.
	Thank you.
	Take care.
	So did you recognize what that cop is saying is the crime here is that, oh, your post might cause other people to become excited or agitated.
	Where is that a crime?
	Where is that a crime?
	First Amendment doesn't say you have the right to freedom of speech and freedom of protest and freedom of the press and freedom of religious expressions unless someone else feels agitated.
	See, this cop is a moron, a Miami moron.
	He can't even speak English correctly, by the way.
	What's he doing being a Miami Beach cop?
	Can't even speak English.
	And here he is running intimidation against American citizens.
	And, you know, the woman who we don't see, but we hear her voice, she's right to say, no, I'm not answering your questions.
	Frankly, what she should say, and pardon my language, is, fuck off.
	You know, get out of my house.
	Fuck off.
	You got something to say to me.
	You know, send a letter to my attorney or whatever.
	You know, get out of my face.
	You know, if I'm not under arrest, get off my property or I'm calling real cops to come usher you off this property.
	Those are the proper responses.
	But by the way, the mistake that that woman made was opening the door and letting the cop come in.
	Why would you do that?
	They knock on your door.
	You don't have to open the door.
	The proper answer is don't answer the door.
	You don't have to go to the door.
	There's no law that says you have to go to the door.
	They can't enter your home legally unless they're going to break your door, smash your windows, break in, in which case everything they do is completely illegal and invalid and would be thrown out of any court anywhere in America.
	So if cops come to your door, if they don't have a warrant, a search warrant or an arrest warrant, you don't have to answer the door.
	You're under no obligation to answer the door.
	And even if you do go to the door and verbally answer it, you don't have to open it.
	You can keep it closed and say, what do you want?
	Who are you?
	What do you want?
	If they say, oh, we're the police.
	We want to ask you some questions.
	Yeah, the proper answer, fuck off.
	Yeah, good luck with your whatever investigation.
	Goodbye.
	Walk away.
	That's all you have to do.
	You don't have to play their game.
	Cops play mind games.
	Obviously, that's 80% of all they do, actually, is just play mind games with people.
	I'm not saying all cops are bad, but every cop listening to this, you know, that like 99% of the people you interact with are dumber than rocks, and they fall for all that stuff.
	You know, they fall for you.
	You're like, well, can I come in and ask you a question?
	And most people open the door.
	Okay, guess what?
	You've just given them consent to search your entire house because people are stupid.
	They don't know.
	So cops take advantage of that.
	I saw this one case where like there was a guy who was apparently he murdered somebody and a detective brought him in for questioning.
	And the detective says, look, here's what we're going to do.
	We know you murdered this person.
	And if you will just write an apology letter, then we're going to let this slide.
	Just sit here at this table, you know, in the interrogation room, write an apology letter, and we'll let you go home.
	So the perp sits there, writes an apology letter.
	Oh, I'm sorry for murdering your whatever.
	I'm sorry for what I did.
	And then the detective says, thank you very much and puts the guy in handcuffs, charged, convicted of murder because he's got a confession.
	Total confession on camera in his own handwriting right there.
	You're like, well, the cop lied to him.
	Of course the cop lied to him.
	That's what they do.
	Of course they lied to you.
	Come on.
	Come on.
	What year is this?
	Everybody knows that at this point, you know?
	So you don't have to play these games with these cops.
	It's like, look, get off my porch.
	Hey, there's a, I need to say thank you to a print shop, a company, that sent me some cool stuff last year.
	And I neglected to thank them.
	And I just want to thank them publicly.
	They're located in Houston.
	They're called rogueprintshop.com.
	Just like it sounds, R-O-G-U-E, rogueprintshop.com.
	So they are all pro-liberty.
	They got cool stuff.
	You can go to their website.
MBA Schools' Unexpected Gift 00:12:21
	They've got banners and yard signs and t-shirts and cut vinyl, things like that.
	And they made some stuff for me.
	I didn't even ask for it.
	They just made some stuff and sent it.
	And I have a policy.
	I don't open packages that come to me right away.
	Actually, I don't open them at all.
	I have a quarantine for all packages that come to me.
	They sit in quarantine for many, many months.
	For a number of reasons, and then they eventually get open, but not by me anyway.
	This was sent sometime last year, like or maybe the year before, but uh, I finally found what they sent me.
	I just want to give them a thanks.
	So thank you, um Chris.
	I think it is at Rogueprintshop.
	Calm, appreciate it.
	Good luck with your business.
	We wish you the best and keep up the great work there in Houston.
	All right, you know, running a business is tough these days any business and there are a lot of people going to MBA schools.
	And I just want to give you a warning about MBAS, because I happen to know two people who are in top-notch MBA programs in the United States right now and they both tell me the same story, and these are top-notch schools.
	In the MBA program there are lots of projects that are team projects.
	Typically they'll have four people work on a project, sometimes it's six.
	In these team projects, repeatedly 50 of the students don't do anything.
	Sometimes it's higher, but on average it's about 50.
	So if there's four people on a team, two people are doing nothing, they're skating through the MBA program and yet they get the same grade because the other two people did all the work, or sometimes it's only one person doing all the work and three people are getting a free ride.
	So there are lots and lots of students that are going through MBA programs, getting the degree, who didn't do any of the work and they don't know what they're doing even though they have an Mba.
	So just be aware that if you're hiring people based on their degree, that's a bad idea, especially you know the U.s university system.
	You can you can get a phd and be a complete woke idiot obviously.
	In fact it's almost required, it's like mandatory, you don't?
	You don't get the phd unless you're woke and idiotic enough, and then they give it to you at most schools and the MBA programs are also exactly the same and in in the or for the most part, I mean maybe half the students coming out of MBA programs have actually done the work, the other half not so much, not at all.
	Typically um, and the thing that i've noticed is, as an AI developer myself and building a lot of AI technology, i've got something new to mention here today.
	Actually, I have found that tech is moving so rapidly these days that there's no way that today's cutting-edge AI technology can be incorporated into the instructional content at schools rapidly Enough.
	And inevitably, even the top-notch MBA schools are teaching last year's AI technology, if they use AI at all.
	And some of them are still stuck in 2019.
	Well, AI, things change so quickly that you're out of date in six months.
	Not just a year, but six months is like a lifetime in AI.
	So the only way to stay up to speed on AI is to not go to a school to learn about AI.
	You have to learn it through hands-on experience.
	You have to be a vibe coder.
	You have to use the language models.
	You have to build agents or avatars or whatever the case may be.
	Use the tools, automate the tools, install clawed code, unleash agents, do a bunch of cool stuff.
	You got to teach yourself.
	Or we do have books, by the way, at our book engine, brightlearn.ai.
	There's a lot of books on vibe coding.
	You can download and read those books for free.
	Oh, also, I apologize.
	Okay, there were a couple hundred books that were showing 404 errors because they failed to upload to the content staging area.
	I apologize.
	What happened was the authentication token to upload to the content staging area, that token had a session timeout.
	And the code that I had written via vibe coding for the Bright Learn engine, that code failed to be smart enough to refresh the token authentication session to push those files.
	And so we had hundreds of files that failed for a few hours yesterday.
	And then, you know, I was alerted to this problem.
	Oh, everything's a 404.
	Where's all my books, etc.?
	I mean, it was really just the new books.
	It wasn't the old books, just the new books.
	And I, yeah, I yelled at the AI agents, like, what did you do?
	And AI figured it out, came back, and did a session authentication refresh for the tokens.
	And now it's all good.
	But that's what happened.
	Now, speaking of AI, I've got something cool to announce for you here today, which is that after, what's it been?
	It's been, yeah, I guess it's been about two years.
	One of my goals over the last two years was to find a way to build an AI technology that could write articles like me.
	And I have a very particular article style.
	I'm very outspoken, not afraid to condemn, you know, corruption and idiots, et cetera, as is obvious if you listen to my podcast.
	I'm totally uncensored on purpose.
	Otherwise, what would be the point?
	And I wanted a way to have an AI system write like me, but also have the call to action at the end of the article, like call to action for liberty, for empowerment, for defending your freedom, defending your property, all these things.
	So every article, I wanted to end on a positive note, if possible.
	But I also wanted to build a system that would do all the research that I normally don't have time to do.
	And that, again, that would write like me, that would do all the fact-checking and proofreading and everything and the article citations and the whole deal.
	And I'm happy to announce that that has now been achieved.
	And as of today, sometime today, you're going to start seeing my articles on naturalnews.com that are a result of this technology.
	I want to be clear that I write the prompts for all the articles.
	So I'm the one assigning and engineering the articles.
	I'm having it write about the things that I want to write about like me.
	But these articles are typed out and researched by my team of AI agents.
	And as a result, they are meticulously resourced.
	So now every article that has my name on it on naturalnews.com or other websites, and you're going to see like anywhere from three to six articles per day with my name on them.
	Those are all assigned by me and engineered by me, and they all have multiple references.
	It could be books, science papers, news articles, could be old articles, interviews, podcasts.
	It could be articles from across the web.
	It could be anything.
	And like I was doing a thing on orbital solar power, and it did a bunch of research and pulled in an article from Scientific American, for example, as part of my story.
	So that's in place right now.
	And that took me two years to get to that point.
	It's the ultimate article content creation technology that is trained on a specific person, the way a specific person writes, with lots and lots of examples from that person.
	So the only reason I could do this is because I have thousands of articles that I've written previously.
	And then I use those articles to teach the system how to write like me.
	And man, it does a great job.
	Actually, it writes like me when I'm trying to write in a more careful way.
	Because, you know, sometimes you write and you're really just blogging sort of sometimes emotionally like, screw that, you know.
	Top three things to, you know, to tell the government to F off or whatever.
	That's not what this is.
	This is this is a technology, basically layered agents with all of our massive index content system that's also used by our Brightlearn.ai book system.
	But this is sort of mimicking what I do when I'm trying to write in a more careful research academic style, which I have done sometimes in the past as well, like when I'm writing about nutrition or technology or things like that.
	So the results are really great and they're live as of today.
	Now then many of you will have obviously realized that this technology can also write like other people if I train the avatars to do that.
	It takes a lot of effort.
	We have to have a lot of example stories.
	We have to have kind of a deep psychological profile and understanding of the writer in order to do that.
	It doesn't have to be a real person either.
	It could be a kind of personality that you want to have as a writer.
	And so what I'm doing right now is I'm building up a couple of additional writing personalities that are trained on very specific content.
	One of them is a fitness and food, like a foodie person or avatar would be the right term.
	And I've got another one that's focused on finance and economics that has a strong history of gold and silver and money and things like that that, you know, Ron Paul, the whole deal.
	So you're going to see more and more of examples of our multi-layered agentic system that is putting together incredible research and incredible topics on a vast array of unique content.
	And so even though like naturalnews.com has not been great at covering breaking news recently, in the last year, let's say, or covering really interesting topics, that is about to change.
	In fact, starting now, it changes.
	So what's interesting about this is, of course, I'm the AI developer that wrote the entire engine behind Brightlearn.ai, which also does a lot of research and then it writes books and then it puts in the references.
	And I've figured out a way to vastly improve that also, but I haven't implemented it yet.
Skipped Physics Class 00:04:57
	But I did implement it in the article creation process that I just described.
	It's a much better way to show references and to number the references and to bring in a larger array of diverse references.
	So I'm going to be incorporating that into the BrightLearn book engine pretty soon as well.
	And it's really fun to do this.
	You know, I like to solve puzzles.
	And I think very spatially, I'm a 3D thinker.
	Did I ever tell you the story about how, oh man, I don't know if I should admit to this, but, okay, one semester in college, I had a physics course, okay?
	And the physics course, I couldn't stand the professor on the very first day.
	And it was like physics 101.
	This was like a freshman-level course, my first year at college.
	And this was very unlike me because I, you know, I'm top of my class academically all through high school and everything.
	But for whatever reason, I decided I really couldn't attend this physics class at all.
	And I didn't.
	But I didn't drop the class.
	I kept it.
	And because on the first day, the professor said something.
	He said, your entire grade of this class will be based solely on the final exam.
	And that's it.
	And I said, hallelujah.
	This is the class for me because I'm good at doing physics tests.
	I'm good at simulating physics in my head.
	I'm like, I can do this.
	I don't even need the formulas.
	I don't need the semester.
	So I literally skipped that class for the entire semester, which again was completely unlike me.
	I don't know.
	It was my young college days.
	I wasn't as disciplined as I am today, you know.
	But I skipped the entire class.
	I only went to one class, not even not one more time, except the final exam.
	On the final exam, I got 75% of the questions correct.
	And I was given a C in that class, which is a very low grade.
	I mean, I normally would get straight A's, but I got a C.
	But the reason I even got the C is because I would read the question and I would think through it in my head.
	I would simulate the physics.
	This is like things like acceleration and gravity and friction coefficients and stuff like that.
	And I would just simulate it in my head and I would choose the right answer.
	It was multiple choice.
	And so that's how I made it through Physics 101 without attending the entire semester, just by thinking about it.
	That's a true story.
	It's so much unlike me, by the way.
	That was the only time I ever did that.
	I never skipped other classes after that.
	And I never skipped in high school either.
	I actually had great attendance, but not that class and not that professor.
	He was a dork, man.
	I couldn't stand him on day one.
	But, you know, what's funny is I realized today, like, I could learn the entire semester of that class, Physics 101, easily in two weeks, just by using AI.
	If I just use AI to learn and, you know, having good nutrition and everything, he's like, I could complete, like, if I wanted to, I could go back and I could go through, you know, four years of college in just a few months.
	Not that I have any such desire to do so because I'm so far way past that.
	But these days, we can all learn faster with the help of AI and also better nutrition because I was still drinking soda pop back then in college.
	I was drinking Mountain Dew, you know, to study for finals.
	How insanely retarded was that?
	But, you know, yeah, your brain doesn't work as well your first year in college.
	Some of you may have shared that experience for whatever reason.
Asian Guy AI Announcement 00:12:55
	And no, it wasn't alcohol.
	I didn't drink.
	I didn't drink in college.
	I still don't drink.
	It's just not my thing.
	But whatever.
	I did learn how to juggle, though.
	That was good.
	All right.
	So anyway, my point is you're going to see some new articles from me.
	And then pretty soon some new heavily researched articles from some of our other avatars that I'm in the process of training up to be amazing kick-ass writers on a number of really interesting topics with great research behind them as well.
	And lots of improvements coming soon to Brightlearn.ai.
	I'm still working on the file synchronization task that I mentioned a few weeks ago, but that became a much bigger project.
	I expanded the scope of that so that you can run an R clone executable on your local computer and it'll sync a bunch of remote files to your system completely free of charge.
	And those will be like PDFs and books.
	But it's also going to be videos and things.
	And then, and then, oh, this is hilarious.
	I heard an interview from Luna Labs CEO.
	Let's see.
	Let me pull this up.
	So I think it's, oh, Luma Labs.
	I'm sorry, Luma, Luna, Lunatic Labs.
	So anyway, let's see.
	The CEO of Luma AI, that's the right name.
	They've announced something called Ray 3 Modify, which is, it's going to be a major tool for AI-driven filmmaking workflows.
	And what this is going to be within a year.
	And this is, I mean, I called it, I predicted this.
	This is what it's going to be.
	You're going to be able to put in a prompt with kind of a screenplay for a short film, like a three-minute film.
	Remember last year I said we're going to be producing three-minute mini documentaries based on your books, you know, Bright Learn books?
	Well, that technology is coming from Luma Labs.
	And Ray 3 Modify is part of this.
	Either way, you're going to be able to put in this prompt with like a description of the scenes that you want.
	And I want this person announcing this.
	I want this scene.
	I want this set.
	Oh, it's winter.
	It's dark.
	Oh, it's Greenland or whatever.
	And it's going to render the whole three-minute film for you with voice, with lip sync, with sound effects, with scenic transitions, everything you want.
	You're going to be able to create the film you want just from your instructions.
	And it will produce, again, it doesn't do this yet, but I predict within one year, it will produce like three-minute or four-minute short, complete videos, which we will use that to produce what I call mini-documentaries.
	And then, so, so that is coming.
	I can't wait.
	And then next year, 2027, I'm predicting by the end of 2027, there will be full-length documentary creation capabilities that exist where you could do like a 90-minute documentary through AI, just through prompting alone.
	Now, the interesting thing about this is you still have to have an AI engine and you have to have a workflow that produces the screenplay.
	Well, I already know how to do that because I've been producing the voice podcast scripts for the conversational podcast that you can see at the top of brightnews.ai.
	And I haven't checked recently.
	I think that's still working.
	I don't know.
	Maybe it broke.
	Sometimes these things break and I don't know about it for a while.
	But I wrote the code that creates the script about today's news that generates the podcast, which is just voice output.
	Well, very easy to transition that kind of approach into video output.
	And that's coming.
	So many of you, you've seen so-called Asian guy on YouTube or other places talking about silver.
	And you know Asian guy is an AI guy, right?
	Asian guy is AI.
	And it's funny because someone I know texted me earlier today and said, are you kidding me?
	Asian guy is AI?
	Like, yes.
	They said they've been arguing with Asian guy in the comment section.
	Like, dude, you've been arguing with AI.
	So that's hilarious.
	But Asian guy is an AI avatar created by a real person who actually has a lot of knowledge about money and finance and liberty and silver and whatever.
	And we don't know who's behind it exactly, but it's clearly somebody who's got a lot of knowledge.
	Somebody who is probably on the older side, my age or older, because they absolutely have a lot of experience about all this.
	So I was watching an Asian guy video recently just to really check it out and try to get a sense of the rendering style and some of the voice and voice effects and things like that.
	And also listening to the content and thinking about how this was all put together.
	And what was hilarious is at the end of the video, the Asian guy, AI Avatar, says, hey, everybody, by the way, I'm the real Asian guy, but there are copycat Asian guys that are out there on YouTube that are using the same Asian guy of me, but they're spreading false disinformation, but they've created it to look the same and sound the same as me.
	So, and this is the Asian guy avatar saying this, who's not a real person.
	The real person behind Asian guy can't really make a copyright claim, at least as I understand it, because Asian guy isn't real.
	So, you know, he created AI avatar and then somebody rips off his AI avatar and creates a carbon copy of Asian guy.
	So Asian guy number two.
	And Asian guy number two is on different channels saying different things.
	And then there's Asian guy number three that's saying totally insane things.
	So when I hear people talk about, hey, Asian guy, you know, he's full of crap.
	He doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I'm like, well, which version are you listening to?
	Is that Asian guy the original or is it number two, number three, number four, number five?
	Because they're all run by different people.
	Do you know that?
	They're all run by different people.
	Welcome to 2026.
	Welcome to the age of AI.
	You don't even know who's behind, you know, any of these Asian guys.
	This is why I'm talking with you about this all very publicly so that you know that when you read articles on my websites, naturalnews.com and hundreds of others, many more coming, by the way, you know that it's my technology behind it or my writers using my technology, which is the case right now.
	And I'm upgrading all my writers with AI technology to upgrade their roles, to be article architects, to be engineers of content, not typists.
	But I want you to know that all of that content is under the domain that I have built.
	So you know who's behind it.
	You know it's me.
	You know my values.
	You know I believe in human freedom.
	You know I believe in decentralization of knowledge.
	I believe in natural health and personal responsibility and honest money, et cetera, et cetera.
	So you know my values and you know I'm not for sale.
	Like I think Nick Fuentes just got a million dollar gold sponsor deal from a gold company that somehow can afford to pay him a million dollars.
	Okay.
	No gold company is paying me a million dollars because there's not that much margin in honest gold sales.
	You know what I'm saying?
	So nobody can buy me.
	Nobody can buy my voice.
	Nobody can pay me to push a narrative, anything like that.
	If there's a sponsorship, I tell you it's a sponsorship like satellite phone store.
	I tell you, oh, satellite phone store, they're the sponsor of today's show, you know, sat123.com or whoever the sponsor is or today's sponsor, healthrangerstore.com, today's sponsor, you know, battalion medals, you know, our gold and silver sponsor, etc.
	I tell you that there's no secret under the under the desk deals and the stuffed envelopes here, you know, here's 100 grand.
	Make sure you don't talk about this.
	Yeah, I don't, I don't operate that way.
	And you know that.
	So you also know that all the technology I create is going to express my values in different ways in articles, in songs, in videos, in, I don't know, what?
	PowerPoint present.
	No, we're not really doing in books, you know, in podcasts.
	It's all expressing the same alignment of ideas with lots of different content.
	So I will always be upfront with you about how my value system and my technology is behind all the different forms of content that we are co-creating with you because you're going to be able to, I should have mentioned this up front.
	We are now going to launch a new tips system where you can submit an article tip or an article idea or an article URL that you want to see turned into an article and we will automatically assess that tip and if we like it, we will automatically turn it into an article and publish the article.
	And so you can give us all kinds of tips.
	They can even be things like press releases, you know?
	Like maybe you have a company, you've got some cool products, and you're like, hey, where do I put the press release?
	Well, we're going to give you a place to put it.
	And then our engine will look at it.
	And if our engine likes it, it'll be a classifier prompt and a scoring system and oversight supervisor or things like that.
	If we like it, we'll turn it into an article.
	We'll write about it for you and publish it across our sites.
	So it's just one of the many ways that we're also helping to empower you with technology to help you succeed as an entrepreneur or a business person or your nonprofit endeavor or whatever you're doing.
	Not only are we giving you tools to learn anything at no cost with BrightLearn.ai, but we're also going to be giving you lots of tools to help market the things that you are doing also completely free.
	So I've probably said too much already because that's not ready yet.
	And I should hold back on announcements until they're more ready.
	So just pretend, okay, instructions to the jury.
	You must disregard the statement I just said about there being a new tip system where you can submit your tips and we'll turn those tips into articles.
	Okay.
	You didn't hear that.
	You'll hear it later.
	Okay.
	Agreed?
	Is that cool?
	Okay.
	Actually, I can't wait for the tip system.
	I can't wait.
	I love that stuff.
	I love co-creating content with you.
	I really do.
	I love it.
	I mean, you can hear it my passion about it.
	I love the fact that you've created tens of thousands of books on our book engine, brightlearn.ai.
	I love that there's over a million questions that have been posed on our AI engine at brightanswers.ai, which was previously brightu.ai.
	But now it's at brightanswers.ai.
	Over a million questions.
	People want to know.
	And now the engine's better than ever.
	It's a kick-ass engine now.
	I mean, it was great last year.
Pet Mectin Tablets Savings 00:03:39
	Now it's amazing.
	Try it.
	It's slow, though.
	Just let you know it's slow, but it's thorough.
	It's slow because it's thinking about all the information that we bring in and pull in and push into your answer.
	That's why it's slow.
	But that speed is going to get improved pretty soon.
	Probably within like 45 days or so.
	I already, I think I have the answer to that.
	It'll get faster.
	But I love co-creating content with you.
	And there are going to be a lot of opportunities for that.
	We couldn't do it without your support, by the way.
	So thank you for supporting us at healthrangerstore.com.
	And there's something else I want to mention here that's also, it's not solely a promotion, but you know how many states have now legalized ivermectin.
	You can get over-the-counter ivermectin, even in Texas now and other places.
	But did you know that even though it's legal and it's over-the-counter now, it's crazy expensive.
	Some people are paying more than $20 a pill for ivermectin for 12 milligrams.
	That's insane.
	And the insurance companies are billing, sorry, the hospitals are billing the insurance companies and the government sometimes $80 a pill.
	That's insane.
	Well, if you go to my website, rangerdeals.com, and on the third row, you'll see pet mectin.
	Save 10% on pet mectin.
	That's pharma-grade ivermectin for pets, 12 milligrams.
	That's like, be careful with pets.
	Okay, that's a very high dosage for a dog, let's say.
	It's crazy high dosage.
	So don't just go feeding these to your pets.
	This is the same ivermectin that's sold as a prescription.
	Exactly the same.
	It's the same molecule.
	It's the same ivermectin, but at a tiny fraction of the cost.
	Like less than one-tenth the price, much less, because it's pet mectin.
	And it's got a little paw print on the front.
	You can get 50 tablets in this, and you can save 10% there.
	We have an affiliate arrangement with the petmectin company.
	Just use discount code Ranger.
	So anyway, go to rangerdeals.com and click on the pet mectin link, or there's a shop link there.
	It will take you to resolvex.health.
	And then you can get the pet mectin there.
	It's 50 tablets for $70 minus the 10% when you use discount code Ranger.
	So think about that.
	It's only like $63 for 50 tablets.
	That's only a little over $1 a tablet instead of $20 or $40 or $80 a tablet as the hospitals are charging health insurance companies.
	It's a fraction of the price.
	And then also on rangerdeals.com, that's where you can get the red life devices, the red light.
	You can get the 10% off or 15% off limitless peptides that have the amazing peptides, the therapeutic peptides that I love so much that have transformed my own health over the last year and so much more.
Sodium-Sulfur Breakthrough 00:15:27
	So check it all out.
	It's there at rangerdeals.com.
	All right, so I've got two more things for you here today.
	And as always, thank you for hanging with me on this.
	Thank you for putting up with my twisted humor and my distractions, my tangents, everything else.
	I'm going to bring it back here.
	I've got the special report for you on sodium sulfur battery breakthrough technology.
	Now, that is an extended geek fest of battery chemistry, but also the economic implications around the world supply chains, replacement of lithium, edge devices having better power density, such as robots and drones and EVs, things like that.
	That discussion is about 40 minutes.
	So it's pretty detailed.
	I go through a lot about sodium ion versus sodium sulfur versus the donut lab battery versus lithium ion, etc.
	And what's happening because this is changing very rapidly.
	If you want to skip that, just skip ahead 40 minutes because after that is the interview with Marjorie Wildcraft.
	And that's about one hour and it's a great interview and you don't want to miss that.
	So go ahead and skip ahead 40 minutes.
	You want to skip the battery geek fest and I don't blame you.
	Go for it.
	But if you love battery technology and you want to learn about this breakthrough from China at the, it's, what was it?
	Yeah, it's a Shanghai Institute.
	You're going to hear that right now.
	Here we go.
	Sodium sulfur battery breakthrough could make lithium obsolete.
	Here we go.
	Okay, Mike Adams here.
	Welcome to this special report about a new breakthrough in sodium sulfur battery chemistry and battery architecture that has huge implications for everything from off-grid living to electric vehicles to robots to grid shifting, power storage technology.
	And also, it impacts geopolitics.
	It impacts the world, the control over routes and resources, and control over commodities.
	Why?
	Well, because this battery technology doesn't need lithium.
	And so, if you think about it, one of the big reasons that there's this push to control routes and to control mines in Africa, or even the push for territory like Greenland and other places, is because people want access to lithium.
	Lithium-ion technology is currently the mainstream battery tech for energy storage and especially for mobile devices or edge devices that would be things like electric vehicles.
	And yet, lithium-ion relies on this difficult to acquire element, lithium, which only comes from certain places and requires a lot of water for processing, and it's difficult to mine in certain regions, etc.
	So, this announcement about sodium-sulfur battery technology is a very big deal.
	So, sodium-sulfur battery chemistry has been around a long time, but it sucked until just now.
	So, of course, this breakthrough comes out of China, which has the most engineers now of any country in the world in terms of the number of engineers graduating from university programs every year.
	So, this comes from the Jiao Tong University in Shanghai.
	And their researchers have been able to use a new chemistry called the sodium sulfur redox chemistry that allowed them to achieve an energy density of an astonishing over 2,000 watt hours per kilogram.
	So, remember that, of course, kilograms is a measure of mass.
	Watt hours is a measure of total energy storage.
	You know, a watt hour is one watt emitted over one hour.
	So, 2,000 watt hours means two kilowatt hours.
	That would be two kilowatts over one hour, and this is stored in one kilogram of the battery.
	Now, when I saw this number 2,000, I was almost in disbelief for a number of reasons.
	Because remember, I've talked about this new supposed battery from Donut Lab out of Estonia that was unveiled at a CES show just recently here in 2026.
	And the Donut Lab battery claims an energy density of 400 watt hours per kilogram.
	Now, 400 watt hours per kilogram is considered extremely good, even for lithium batteries.
	That's considered very good.
	A lot of lithium batteries on the market today are only in the 250 watt hours per kilogram range.
	So, this announcement of a sodium sulfur technology at over 2,000 watt hours per kilogram, this is literally 10 times the energy density of many lithium-ion batteries that exist right now.
	And for others, for the high-end batteries, it's still five times or more.
	So, this is a very big deal.
	So, why is all this a big deal?
	Because, of course, sodium and sulfur are two elements that are abundantly available.
	Sodium is available all across North America.
	You know, we don't need to go overseas to get sodium.
	I mean, you just get it out of the ground.
	It's everywhere in North America.
	Lots and lots of salt brine mines or old mines or different ways to extract sodium in abundance out of the ground.
	So sodium, which can also be extracted from, by the way, seawater brine. as a byproduct of desalination of ocean water.
	So when you, you know, when you take ocean water into a desalination plant and you pull the fresh water out of it, you get left with this salty brine, which is just concentrated seawater that's largely sodium and magnesium with, well, sodium chloride and magnesium and then a lot of other trace elements in there as well.
	It's got all the elements in there, just at much smaller amounts.
	So anyway, there's plenty of sodium to go around.
	That's easy to find.
	You don't need a deep water navy to go around the world to bomb countries and threaten countries in order to get sodium.
	Sodium is in your backyard right here in North America.
	Sulfur is the same thing.
	Sulfur is a waste product of industry.
	I mean, sulfur is a waste product of coal and coal-burning power plants.
	It's a waste product of like petroleum refining.
	You know, sulfur, they're trying to get rid of sulfur.
	You know, there's plenty of sulfur to go around.
	And then you combine sodium with sulfur with this new chemistry, this 4-plus redox chemistry.
	It's a highly energetic, high-potential state of how sulfur can be configured chemically.
	Then that creates a non-flammable electrolyte.
	So it doesn't burn.
	It doesn't have runaway thermal problems like lithium.
	It's not going to self-ignite the battery.
	But the storage density is extremely high.
	It's incredibly safe because, you know, salt doesn't burn very easily and sulfur doesn't burn very easily.
	I mean, sulfur can be used to put out fires in some cases.
	Sulfur is used to clean up acid spills in the lab.
	We have sulfur in the lab, you know, to neutralize acid spills of nitric acid, things like that.
	So sodium and sulfur are incredibly safe, high energy density, easily available using materials that are not coming from conflict areas.
	You know, wars, Ukraine or Greenland or Africa or Central South America, whatever the case may be.
	So these minerals are easy to find, and the battery chemistry is breakthrough chemistry.
	So to talk about the actual battery construction here for a second, for those of you who want to geek out with me on this, so from the article that's reporting on this, so they switched to a sulfur 4 plus redox chemistry.
	So in other words, there are four valence electrons per sulfur atom.
	And they were able to then produce a voltage of 3.6 volts, which has never been achieved before in sodium-sulfur batteries.
	And this is necessary.
	3.6 volts makes it usable in EVs and robots and so on.
	And you stack these batteries.
	You stack them both serial and parallel connections to increase the voltage and increase the depth of the charge or the total storage.
	But you've got to have 3.6 volts to make it work.
	But here's what else they're saying.
	They have eliminated the anode somehow, which I don't even understand how that is possible.
	They say these are anode-free batteries, which, you know, I thought, is this an April Fool's joke?
	Because we've had a lot of weird announcements about battery technology lately, and some of it doesn't seem real.
	But anyway, they're claiming that they don't need the anode anymore.
	They say that there's an aluminum foil anode current collector.
	Well, I don't know.
	This sounds like an anode, but whatever.
	That's what they're saying.
	So aluminum is necessary in this, but aluminum is very abundant.
	Aluminum is very cheap.
	They need an S8 cathode, a sodium dicyanamide in a non-flammable chloroaluminate electrolyte separated with a glass fiber.
	Okay.
	So for those of you who want to cook this up in your own kitchen, that's the secret sauce.
	Apparently, just be careful.
	Some of this stuff may be toxic.
	Okay.
	The diacanamide anion in the electrolyte unlocks the chemistry at the cathode while improving the reversibility of sodium plating and stripping at the anode, they say.
	I thought they said they don't have an anode.
	Well, anyway, they get over 1,200 milliamp hours per gram, and the energy density that I mentioned before, over 2,000 watt hours per kilogram.
	And the cost, this is another huge factor here.
	So let me take a tangent here for a second.
	You may recall that I've said everybody should use the metric system.
	And that's what I've used in my lab all these years that I've been running the lab, mass spectrometry and ICPMS and chromatography and everything.
	You can't work in a lab unless you use the metric system.
	The metric system is the only system that makes any sense.
	Now, if you want to get into anything that talks about batteries, energy density, battery storage, whatever, EVs, you have to use metric units.
	So I don't even know what the units could even be in the Imperial system for a lot of these things.
	Like, what would you say, like, watt hours per ounce?
	It's like two teaspoons per sodium cup per amperage quartz or something.
	I mean, it doesn't even make any, the Imperial system doesn't work here.
	So we're always going to use metric to talk about energy density because the metric system, again, is the only system that makes any sense.
	Okay.
	So it's also critical because I'm going to be talking about this battery chemistry a lot this year and writing a lot of articles about in fact, I just wrote an article about this, so you'll see that on Natural NEWS right now.
	And the reason that I'm so interested in battery chemistry technology is because it enables off-grid, decentralized living.
	The only thing that's missing right now from the the technology stack to live completely off-grid, to disconnect from the grid, the only thing that's missing is good batteries.
	We've got the solar panels and they're not even that expensive anymore.
	We've got sunlight.
	That's free until, you know, Trump slaps a tariff on it or something 10% tariff on the sun, You know, we've got inverters, we've got charge controllers, all that stuff.
	Okay, what we need is batteries that don't suck.
	And right now, the lithium-ion batteries that are out there in the marketplace, they suck.
	They all suck.
	And lead acid is the worst.
	And that tech is like thousands of years old.
	Don't even get me started on that.
	So I've been talking about sodium-ion batteries for quite some time, thinking that this could be a very good off-grid energy storage system.
	And then that's why I'm covering this sodium sulfur technology.
	But there are clearly other chemistries.
	And mega corporations like Samsung and Toyota and all these car companies and tech companies are working on this.
	We're talking about maybe 10,000 engineers globally are trying to build breakthrough battery tech.
	And some of them claim they've done so.
	Even like this team right here, this is a breakthrough if this turns out to be commercializable at scale.
	This is a breakthrough.
	There are other breakthroughs that are claimed by these other companies.
	But sooner or later, probably this year, one of these is going to be the holy grail of battery chemistry, or maybe this year or next year.
	It's going to happen soon.
	And it's going to change everything.
	When that happens, you're going to see lots of people going fully off-grid.
	You're going to see EVs having ranges that were unthinkable, like a thousand kilometers.
	You're going to see robots finally able to work, let's say, an eight-hour day without needing to be recharged.
	You're going to see drones that will have a one-hour flight time, you know, instead of the current 20 minutes or whatever it is.
Battery Technology Revolution 00:15:25
	This is going to change everything.
	Laptop computers, mobile phones, every electronic device is going to benefit from this battery technology.
	And it's going to change the way we live.
	It's going to enable us to live more off-grid, more decentralized.
	So that's why this really, really matters.
	It's also going to lower the end cost of electricity to the consumer.
	Because, think about it, if you have, I mean, sorry about this tangent, but let me back up.
	The sun clearly produces all the energy that we need on this planet many times over.
	And Elon Musk loves to talk about this.
	You know, the sun gives us all the energy we need if we just collect it.
	And we only need a very small percentage of Earth's surface, if it's wired up with solar panels, to be able to power the entire human economy as we know it, other than things like tractors that need big bad diesel engines or barges or ships on the sea.
	Right now, they need much higher fuel energy density with diesel or bunker fuel, things like that.
	We'll get to that later.
	But for most of society, running your home, charging your car, air conditioning, blenders, hair dryers, powering your office, all that stuff, that can all be done with sunlight.
	Why?
	Because that's all fusion energy captured by solar panels.
	So the sun is a giant fusion ball in the sky.
	It's massive.
	Let me put it this way.
	The sun is, I think it's 99.9%, or maybe it's 99.8% of the total mass of the entire solar system.
	In other words, the sun is so large, it's got so much mass in it, that even Jupiter or Saturn would be a rounding error compared to the mass of the Sun.
	And Earth is a tiny little is incomparable.
	Earth is tiny compared to the sun.
	So the sun has all this mass and it's converting that mass into energy for free, obviously, and all we have to do is tap into it.
	And that's solar.
	But the problem with solar this entire time has been, how do you store it?
	Because there's this thing called night or rain or clouds, etc., or just seasonal variation of sunlight.
	And so storing sunlight energy has always been the challenge.
	And up until now, battery technology has really sucked.
	And that's why we haven't been able to make solar power really, really affordable, because we can't store it.
	But these breakthrough battery technologies change everything about that.
	And if you think about the data centers right now, so many AI data centers being built across the United States and around the world.
	And they don't have enough power.
	Some of them are dark in the U.S. because there's just not enough power to run the data centers.
	So, you know, these companies like Microsoft did a deal with a nuclear power company.
	We're going to buy everything coming out of this nuke plant.
	That's desperation right there, but they've done it.
	You've got companies, especially on the Eastern Power Grid in the United States, the grid will tell companies, if you build a data center here, you have to bring your own power.
	And so the data center companies are out there shopping for gas turbines.
	You know, like a 300-megawatt gas turbine, which is kind of on the smaller side.
	And then the gas turbines are all sold out everywhere.
	And of course, the U.S. sanctioned Russia, which makes arguably the best gas turbines in the world, and we can't buy them because of the, you know, the economic sanctions.
	And so you have to get gas turbines made somewhere else.
	And there's a wait time anywhere from now five to ten years.
	So you can't power data centers with gas turbines.
	You can't power them with nuclear power because the nuclear power takes 14, 15, to even 20 years to come online.
	And you can't power them with coal-fired power plants because the environmentalists lose their minds over coal.
	So how do you power data centers?
	You do it with solar.
	You can build that up now.
	You can just buy a boatload of solar panels and you can cover farm fields.
	This is what they're doing.
	And you can have solar power right next door.
	The problem is night.
	Clouds, rain.
	How do you do it?
	You need battery tech.
	You need battery technology with high energy storage density and also low materials cost that can scale and that won't catch on fire and blow up your whole freaking data center.
	That's what we're talking about.
	Sodium ion battery chemistry and sodium sulfur battery chemistry.
	That's why this matters.
	Because the race to AI is a race to superintelligence.
	China's going to win that race unless something dramatically changes.
	China's ahead of the game.
	China's got a massive amount of power.
	Their power grid is more than twice the aggregate annual output of the United States power grid.
	It's not even close.
	And China is adding more power far more rapidly than the United States is.
	So China will be able to power all its data centers.
	The U.S. won't, unless we have battery technology that can grid shift.
	And the way that works then, let's say you have a data center and you need a gigawatt of power 24-7.
	So in one day, how many gigawatt hours of power would you need?
	The answer would be 24, because there's 24 hours in a day, right?
	I'm just reviewing the units here together.
	So you need 24 gigawatt hours of power every single day.
	So what do you do?
	You build a solar farm that can produce about 75 gigawatt hours.
	You go about triple.
	These are rough numbers.
	You go about triple because the sun is not always shining, right?
	And there's, you know, the sun is not always at the right angle.
	So you only get peak solar production for about two hours of the day.
	And even seasonally, that varies based on the axial tilt of Earth relative to the orbital plane of the sun.
	Also, that's called winter and summer.
	You know, there's an axial tilt.
	You know, the sun, the sun, the path that the sun takes through the sky is lower in the winter and higher, more overhead in the summer.
	That affects everything as well.
	So anyway, you're going to build about three times what you need.
	Maybe four times.
	So you could, let me just say it this way.
	If you needed 24 gigawatt hours every day, you might build a solar farm of 100 gigawatt hours because you've got to produce a lot of excess power.
	And where are you going to put it?
	You have to store it in something that's cheap and scalable and safe and has high energy density.
	Once you can do that, then you can power data centers with the sun.
	You can power factories with the sun.
	You just need a lot of land.
	Guess what?
	North America has a lot of land.
	And a lot of it's unusable land, like desert land.
	I don't recommend that we put solar panels all across all these usable farms.
	We need to grow food for humans, assuming there's any left after, you know, after Skynet.
	Or after the globalist depopulation agenda, let's assume there's some humans left.
	They're going to need to grow some food.
	So I say, put the solar panels out in the deserts.
	Unfortunately, the deserts don't happen to be right next to where the data centers are, so there's a transmission challenge, but that's beyond the scope of this conversation.
	Anyway, battery technology makes it all possible.
	Battery technology is the missing link that, if it's solved, it will unleash truly economic abundance in America.
	Truly.
	Energy would get cheaper instead of more expensive by far.
	And if energy gets cheaper, do you know that that makes AI inference cheaper?
	Because the number one cost of AI inference, especially for open source models like DeepSeek from China or Quen, the number one cost is electricity.
	Electricity costs go down, AI goes down, AI costs go down, and then cognition becomes more readily available and cheaper and more widespread.
	And that has huge benefits for society.
	So you see how all this is connected?
	We need better battery technology to unleash all these other technologies and to unleash economic abundance.
	And then when you get to the point where robots can actually grow food, and that's coming, we're talking about robot farmers, you know?
	It's a few years away, but it's coming.
	I can't wait.
	I'm really excited about my weed pulling robot concept.
	When you have cheap electricity, then you have cheap robot labor growing food, which results in what?
	Anyone?
	Bueller?
	Cheap food.
	That's right.
	Cheap food in the grocery store.
	So whereas right now, food is suffering massive inflation because of all the money printing, obviously.
	You know, the fiat currency nonsense.
	So you have food inflation like crazy.
	But if you were to have great battery technology combined with AI robotics, where you can run a robot for, I don't know, $1 an hour or $2 an hour, I don't know, something in that range, guess what the cost of tomatoes will be?
	It'll go way down.
	Food will become affordable again if we have great battery technology.
	In other words, see, I'm trying to give you examples of this.
	Transportation will become dirt cheap because almost all the transportation on the roads is going to be electric vehicles and electric trucks because of the better battery technology.
	So then it's a question of what's the cost of the kilowatt hours to push the truck down the road with the load of the food, delivering it to the grocery store, etc.
	When that cost plummets because power prices plummet, then all your food gets cheaper.
	See, so this has massive implications.
	All right, so back to this team from Shanghai.
	This battery breakthrough is not yet fully ready for commercial rollout, of course.
	This is just being demonstrated in a laboratory.
	And another problem is the electrolyte.
	It's highly corrosive.
	Yeah.
	It's probably because there's a bunch of acid in there.
	I would imagine it's probably like hydrochloric acid or nitric acid or some other very strong acid that they have in there.
	So if the battery is punctured, let's say you're in a accident on the road and you have one of these batteries in your car and the battery gets punctured, whereas with a lithium battery, the lithium catches on fire and burns for hours and nobody can put out the fire, not even the firefighters.
	Well, with the sodium sulfur chemistry, the battery gets punctured.
	A bunch of toxic acid leaks out all over the road and it starts burning holes in the pavement and releasing horrifically bad acid fumes that will destroy people's lungs if they breathe those in.
	Yeah.
	Like nitric acid in the air.
	You don't want to breathe that in.
	It'll just completely destroy your lungs.
	So that's going to present new challenges to first responders and firefighters who previously had to worry about the Tesla vehicle on fire forever.
	Now they've got to worry about an attack of the acid batteries and the nitric acid gas cloud that's wafting over the firetruck.
	You see what I mean?
	So now it's a different challenge, still dangerous in certain ways, but not on fire.
	Acid, instead, acid.
	It's just no fun.
	I mean, I work with acid all the time in my lab because we use nitric acid.
	Oh, by the way, this research was published in the journal Nature.
	Okay, so this isn't just somebody's press release.
	This is actually a scientific study published in Nature.
	But I work around acid quite a bit.
	Nitric acid is highly, highly corrosive that even having vials of nitric acid sitting around, not even 100% nitric acid, even just 10% nitric acid or 20%, those vials, the fumes coming off of them will rust everything that's metal nearby, including the auto sampler robot.
	So we destroyed an auto sampler robot a few years ago just with the nitric acid fumes because that's the robot that was handling the nitric acid food sample vials.
	And the robot arm, it moves this, it's an uptake probe that pumps liquid into the ICPMS.
	It moves it around and it's got this kind of, what's the best way to describe it?
	Like a screw-shaped rod, like a rod with a screw.
	It's like a giant screw rod that the robotic arm moves up and down as you rotate this rod.
	The arm scoots horizontally.
	That screw rod, even though it was coated with Teflon, which has all these fluorine compounds in it and everything supposed to resist corrosion, that thing rusted out.
	And then I opened up the auto sampling robot, and all the electronics were rusted.
	Like, my God, how is this thing even functioning?
	Everything inside was rusted.
	The circuit boards, everything.
	The microchips, they all had oxidation on them.
	Like, wow.
	That's amazing.
	So, and then if you get it on your skin, of course, burns a hole in your skin.
	If you get it on your clothes, burns a hole in your clothes.
	That's why my clothes have all these holes in them.
	To this day, I'm still wearing them.
	I don't care.
	You know how I am with shoes or shirts or whatever.
	I'll just wear it until every last shred of cloth is gone.
Sodium Ion Tech 00:08:23
	But if you're wondering why I have holes in my shirt, it's because of nitric acid.
	Oh, you're supposed to wear the lab coat.
	Yeah, well, I know, but sometimes I don't want to put it on.
	I just go in there and I just use whatever shirt I have on.
	And if I get splashed with acid, then goodbye shirt.
	But I do wear safety glasses, by the way, because I don't, like, I can handle losing a shirt, but not losing an eye.
	You see what I mean?
	So I'm always wearing the safety goggles or visors, whatever they're called.
	Okay, anyway, back to the battery technology.
	So this new science, it will take several years for this to be fully commercialized.
	And in the meantime, there may be other chemistries that are commercialized that actually work a lot better.
	Whatever this donut lab has come up with, they claim it doesn't use lithium.
	But as I said the other day, I talked to a top-level battery scientist face-to-face in my lab who was visiting our lab to assist with some method validation on a new ion chromatography glyphosate method.
	And he happened to be a scientist, a brilliant man, by the way, who worked with Samsung and worked on battery tech for, I don't know, 15 years.
	So I posed the question to him.
	Hey, do you believe this Donut Lab claimed that they've got this battery technology that doesn't use lithium at all, but somehow is a solid-state battery, so there's no liquid electrolyte, and it achieves 400 watt hours per kilogram with support of 100,000 discharge cycles, you know, discharge and recharge, obviously.
	And this guy said, no, it's not possible.
	In his experience, you can't do it without lithium.
	Not possible.
	Again, we're talking about solid-state battery with no sloshing, no moving part, no liquid, no brine inside.
	Solid-state battery.
	Not possible, my guy says.
	Other people say it is possible it's going to happen, and that it's already happened, and those batteries are shipping right now.
	I don't know about you, but I don't believe it.
	I don't believe it until I see it.
	I mean, I don't believe it until, frankly, I don't believe it until I can test it.
	I was like, give me the battery, or I'll buy it, but ship me the battery, let me test it, and then I'll believe it.
	Until then, I'm really skeptical.
	And by the way, what happens if you have a lithium-ion Tesla vehicle colliding with a sodium-sulfur acid battery vehicle?
	Do you get both fire and acid and toxic acid fumes?
	Or do they cancel each other out?
	It's like rock, paper, scissors.
	Like, my lithium fire burned out your acid.
	Or the other one, no, my acid melted your lithium.
	Those are questions that have to be posed because we're talking about public safety here and people driving on the roads.
	And some of these big trucks that are going to have batteries will have big batteries.
	Like, you know, hundreds of kilograms of batteries, right?
	So we're talking about huge leakage onto the roads right out in public on the highway if something goes wrong.
	So we need to think about that.
	Finally, in the meantime, there's the old just boring sodium ion battery chemistry, which the Chinese company Katil is actually going into production to produce that now.
	And that battery technology is, you know, it's not awesome.
	It's not sexy.
	It's got energy storage of under 200 watt hours per kilogram, I believe.
	So it's nothing to brag about, but it's cheap.
	It's cheap and it's reliable.
	Because even if you can't get lithium reliably because of what's happening in the world, wars, you know, conflict, tariffs, whatever, you can always get sodium.
	So sodium ion batteries are going to represent the sort of the boring, reliable, low-cost battery technology.
	And there's a market for that.
	There's a big market for that.
	See, think about this.
	So Samsung has this new silver carbon anode battery tech that they're going to start producing in 2027.
	And that's why they had to buy that silver mine in Mexico.
	And this is part of the reason why silver prices continue to skyrocket over $94 an ounce right now.
	Because, well, Samsung is going to use silver in their batteries that are going to kick ass.
	But the thing about that silver is it's going to be very expensive.
	And the batteries themselves, like the batteries that go into a car for a typical vehicle, just the silver alone will add $3,000 to the price of the car.
	Think about that.
	And if silver goes to $200 an ounce, which it probably will within the next year or two, then that means the silver in an EV will cost like $6,000.
	Just the silver.
	So that's going to add to the price of the EV, big time.
	Let's say you're going to be paying $50,000 for an electric vehicle.
	Well, add $6,000.
	That's $56,000 because of the silver.
	Well, sodium ion can do that same battery pack for a fraction of that price.
	It doesn't need any silver at all.
	Just boring old sodium.
	It doesn't have the energy density, so your EV won't drive as far, but it'll be cheap and reliable.
	And that means for the manufacturers of the EVs, they know they can always get the sodium ion batteries from companies like Catal.
	That's C-A-T-L.
	So the sodium ion is the tech that keeps the car assembly lines running where you don't have to cancel production because something happened to the lithium supply chain.
	You see what I mean?
	Or, you know, something didn't happen to the cobalt supply chain because that's used in lithium battery chemistry or nickel or copper or whatever.
	You just need some sodium, a little bit of aluminum, a little bit of copper.
	You're good.
	It's reliable.
	Okay.
	So sodium is like if you have horses on your farm and you have one horse that's the superstar, the fastest, strongest horse that can jump over everything.
	Sodium's not that horse.
	That horse, you know, that might be the Samsung silver battery technology, but sodium ion is the old, reliable horse that just does what you want it to do, a little slower, a little smaller, but it gets it done.
	You can count on that horse.
	That's sodium ion.
	So, and there's a place for that.
	There's a market for that.
	Low-cost EVs.
	All right.
	So that's my analysis of this.
	We're going to be launching some new websites this year, including websites covering this kind of chemistry and advanced technologies.
	So watch for announcements on that.
	Can't wait to bring you that.
	And I'll keep you posted on all this and the implications for geopolitics, implications for finance, implications for technology, for decentralization, sustainable off-grid living, etc.
Bringing Official Robots Since October 00:15:36
	And remember that you can use all of our AI tools.
	Brightanswers.ai is our AI chatbot.
	Well, it's really a research engine.
	It's not a chatbot.
	It doesn't, it's not chatty.
	It does deep research.
	And then we've got BrightLearn.ai, which is our book creation engine.
	It's got a lot of books, 21,000 books that are all free to download and read.
	And then we've got BrightNews.ai, which is our news aggregation website.
	So you can check out all those things and enjoy all of our free tools.
	And thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	I'm the AI developer of all those sites with much more coming.
	I've got some surprises for you this year.
	Well, pretty soon, actually.
	So get ready for that.
	We're going to have a blast.
	And maybe we'll have robots this year.
	Maybe we'll have robots with sodium batteries.
	Who knows?
	And if the sodium leaks out all over the floor, we can sprinkle our nachos with it and have a salty meal.
	I don't know.
	We'll see what happens.
	No, just kidding.
	Thanks for listening.
	Take care.
	Isn't it amazing how quickly things can pop off in just one incident?
	And then there's this domino effect.
	And we're watching the spillover right now, aren't we?
	Minnesota didn't have many somalians 20 years ago and they've just been adding and bringing them in and bringing it since part of that whole, you know, I mean, was it 40 million illegals that came in During the Biden administration, who knows how many since then?
	England and London, you know, to be British now means that you're going to be praying five times a day to Allah.
	We've been at war for a long time.
	I think people are starting to recognize it now.
	It's official.
	It's World War III.
	The greatest way to have a war is to not make it obvious to people.
	I think we have to declare it.
	We are at war.
	Welcome to today's interview here on Brighteon.com.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon, and we're joined by a very important guest today because it looks like we're headed into some kind of a regional revolt situation based on what's happening in Minneapolis and the totally corrupt governor of Minnesota, at least that's my view of Tim Walz, who is promising to deploy the National Guard, apparently, to go up against federal ICE agents who are attempting to, you know,
	arrest and remove illegals and criminals and con artists, a lot of those in Minneapolis, it turns out.
	And of course, there was a fatal shooting yesterday that has stirred up even more outrage and protests.
	And so this thing is exploding.
	I couldn't think of a better guest to have on today than Marjorie Wildcraft, who is, of course, the expert in food self-reliance.
	And she has seen this coming for a long time.
	Food scarcity, food inflation, trouble with the supply chains, and the overall breakdown of civil society.
	So she joins us today to talk about what's happening there and also what you can do to help prepare yourself for what's coming.
	Welcome, Marjorie.
	It's always an honor to have you on the show.
	Thanks, Mike.
	So glad to be here.
	Yeah.
	Unfortunately, unfortunate circumstances, but it is what it is, right?
	Well, I'd love to get your reaction actually to that situation because isn't it amazing how quickly things can pop off in just one incident and then there's this domino effect and we're watching the spillover right now, aren't we?
	Well, actually, that's been going on for many years, even decades, you could say.
	Minnesota didn't have many Somalians 20 years ago and they've just been adding and bringing them in and bringing it.
	It's part of that whole, you know, I mean, was it 40 million illegals that came in during the Biden administration?
	Who knows how many since then?
	And, you know, England, London, you know, to be British now means that you're going to be praying five times a day to Allah.
	We've been at war for a long time.
	I think people are starting to recognize it now.
	It's official.
	It's World War III.
	I know you've had Michael Yon on many, many times.
	The greatest way to have a war is to not make it obvious to people.
	People here that are watching in Brighteon and watching you are very well aware of this.
	But I think we have to declare it.
	We are at war.
	And it's you and I personally that are being attacked.
	I think Michael says it really well.
	Like if you weren't told to avoid the jab, then you are the one they are trying to kill.
	Really good point.
	Yeah, exactly.
	But so you mentioned we're at war, and I agree with that assessment, but I'd like to add that it's a multi-layered war scenario.
	So there's a domestic war that's happening because the radical, I would call them radical leftists who they want America to be destroyed through illegal immigration.
	And so they're completely opposing the deportation of those who violated immigration law.
	And Tim Walz, who I believe is his, I think he's got deep pockets in this whole fraud front of all the fake childcare learning centers and all that stuff that's being exposed.
	I mean, half the country looks like a crime scene, frankly, at this point with government money.
	But then we have the international war scenarios that are also escalating with the U.S. seizing the oil tank or the Russian oil tanker leaving Venezuela.
	That impacts China.
	That impacts Russia.
	The situation is not resolved in Ukraine yet.
	And also, it's heating up with Iran.
	So what do you make of this multi-layered war scenario that we're living through?
	Yeah, that's why I'm calling it World War III.
	But there's also Israel and Gaza.
	There's Panama.
	You know, there's so many fronts.
	You know, I was in New York City about six months ago for a conference.
	I don't normally go to the city, but you can always get a direct flight from there from anywhere.
	It's why people put conferences on.
	And what shocked me walking around Manhattan was, you know, normally the defining smell of Manhattan is pizza, right?
	There's like a couple of pizza joints on every street.
	This time, the defining smell of Manhattan was weed.
	I mean, you know, and this, they're pushing the drugs everywhere in every way, shape, and form, whether it's just weed or alcohol or fentanyl or whatever it is.
	But that's a part of a warfare thing.
	And then, of course, the information and disinformation and fake AIs and deep fake, you know, like it's really, really hard to know what's true or what's real anymore.
	It's getting very complicated and very confusing.
	But there's one thing that you can be guaranteed of with war, and that is famine.
	Yeah, I want to talk about that.
	In fact, we've got your course streaming January 31st at brightu.com.
	It's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills.
	Free to watch.
	Optionally can be purchased if you want to download the whole thing.
	We'll talk about that more later, but that begins streaming January 31st.
	You can register at any time.
	Just go to brightu.com.
	But Marjorie, the question is, how will these events that we are talking about, how will they impact the supply chains, transportation of food, food availability?
	You know, the economic disruption that could occur could cause lots of problems engaging in commerce.
	So what's your assessment?
	Well, I think that we're already in it.
	I think you can go to the grocery store and recognize right away food has basically doubled what in the last two or three years.
	Which you predicted, by the way.
	Yeah, it's not great to be right about some of these things.
	But we're headed onto that hyperinflationary trajectory.
	I just saw some announcements that China has decided to create basically $48 trillion worth of money that they're going to be buying.
	This is the end game of the petrodollar or the U.S. dollar or dollar hegemony.
	And what they're going to be going doing is going out and buying more silver metal, you know, silver, gold, precious metals, mines, farmland, tangible, useful assets.
	But I mean, $48 trillion, that's even more than the quote-unquote official national U.S. debt.
	But every country is doing this.
	The United States is doing this.
	We have those magic computers.
	So we are, you know, I listen to influencers that talk about the U.S. paying off their debt.
	And I'm like, that's the most ridiculous conversation I've ever heard.
	You know, that's never going to happen.
	They're just going to, they're going to Weimer Germany this thing.
	And it happens quickly.
	Like if you study Weimer Germany in January of 1922, people were grumbling because the price of eggs had like doubled or triple, right?
	By October, and they were about three marks for a dozen.
	By October of that year, and now this is Weimer, Germany, 1922, no smartphones, no internet.
	I don't think people barely even had radio, right?
	By October of that year, a dozen eggs was a billion marks.
	Wow.
	And the stock market was doing great in Germany at the time.
	Yeah, that's another thing.
	It did through the first phase of it because people were looking for somewhere to put their money.
	And there was a huge amount of speculation.
	And we're also seeing that.
	I see that we're in the whole AI stock market bubble.
	And it looks like based on them reducing interest rates for the, what, three reductions just in the last, what, four months, they're going to bump this and have that happen again.
	Yeah, I don't think AI is going away, but yeah, you can expect, I think they're going to also pump the cryptos.
	They're going to pump everything.
	But there will be a big collapse.
	And we are going to, you know, getting, but the basic staple of being able to eat, that's when you interview people who have survived collapse, when you read the journals of collapsed survivors from civil war or whatever kind of disruption.
	Yeah, people, yes, you know, violence goes up, of course, you know, and yes, medical care gets very difficult.
	But the number one thing is they go hungry.
	That's the biggest thing that they talk about and write about.
	And so all of that that you just described seems like there is internationally a mad rush for commodities.
	So even nations are dumping their own currencies, swapping them for silver, for rare earths, for silver mines, for gold, obviously lots and lots of gold, but also for things like copper, you know, copper, tungsten, cobalt, nickel, all these things that are used because those are the things that can't be hyperinflated.
	I mean, they can't be printed.
	You can't print elements, right?
	So the fiat currency blowout does seem to be international at this point, which means probably the whole world is going to be screwed in terms of the great debt Ponzi reset, whatever you want to call that, or you could call it the great taking.
	But yeah, at the end of the day, what is it?
	Tell our audience, what things can they have that will hold value through all this?
	Well, yes, absolutely.
	You know, precious metals, land with water, you know, tangible items, so tools.
	The one thing to think about is the calorie will become a unit of currency.
	So food and food supplies or anything to create food, such as genetics, like chickens and rabbits, if you're talking about small-scale stuff, cattle, seeds, even the tools to produce or things like that.
	So, you know, I mean, Bill Gates and those guys, he's the largest private landholder of farmland in the United States.
	You know, I mean, they're showing you what they're doing.
	The Chinese are trying to come in and buy all kinds of farmland and mines and resources at that scale.
	That's what they're doing.
	At the scale of you and I, that's what we need to be doing too.
	But skills are also really, really vital and probably trump stuff.
	Gosh, I hate to use that word, but they maybe are more important than stuff.
	And now is the time to really start working on those skills.
	So, you know, how do you grow food?
	How do you make a poultice and treat a broken arm?
	And these are things that you can learn because most of these techniques and skills were used by your great, great, great grandparents who didn't have Google, probably couldn't even read and write.
	But they knew how to hunt.
	They knew how to fish.
	They knew how to grow vegetables.
	They knew how to treat a wound.
	A lot of basic stuff like that.
	We need to go back to those basics.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	We do.
	I was paused there because I got to show you something on my screen.
	I'm pulling up here.
	This is the Eat Real Food, new food guide pyramid that RFK Jr. just announced.
	And yeah.
	So, Marjorie, we've reached the point of decline in our civilization where the people are so ignorant of nutrition that the government has to tell the plebs to eat real food.
	What does that tell you about the collapse?
	You know, I was just talking to a friend about this, and it seems to me, it's almost like 18 months or two years ago, it seems that there's been a real divide between those of us who kind of get an idea of what's going on and we're proactive about it and we're taking responsibility and we're working and prepping and doing what we can.
	And then there's the other group of people that are the normies that are just really having to take more and more antidepressants because it's getting so strange and they're having such massive cognitive dissonance and they don't know what to do about it.
	So we're really in this in this crazy, well, we're in the apocalypse, you know, like it's this totally and crazy, insane time where reality seems incredibly disconnected from what is real and what's true.
	I'll tell you another reason that you do need to be growing your own food and sourcing your own food is because the commercial food supply is completely and absolutely toxic.
	And I have a lot of people go, oh, but I'm buying organic.
	I'm like, the organic standards have been so corrupted for at least the last decade.
	You know, they're now allowing Bill Gates' appeal, which is this horrible chemical in the organic standards.
	You know, they're allowing so much.
	And the organic doesn't mean anything except for that you're going to be paying a lot more money for something.
Why Fake Money Matters 00:05:35
	Yeah, that's why we do so much food testing.
	And we've seen a lot of contamination of metals in organics.
	We've seen that.
	Your book, Food Forensics, what was I, God, that was more than a decade that came out.
	Boy, that was a shocker.
	I mean, when you get done with that book, you'll never eat anything from the commercial food supply ever again.
	But what's funny is, see, you know, so RFK Jr. or Secretary Kennedy is telling people to upgrade their diet to the conventional pesticide-ridden foods because that's better than the synthetic garbage they're eating now.
	But then you and I are at a different level and our audience is at a whole different level.
	Like, no, eat clean food, but, or, you know, grow your own, which is what your course is largely about.
	But I want to mention this.
	I think they should update the graphic.
	Here, let me show it again.
	Instead of saying, oops, here it is.
	Instead of saying just eat real food, it should say eat real food and buy it with fake money.
	Because that's what the dollar is.
	It's like real food, fake currency.
	It's counterfeit, you know?
	Everything is so fake.
	It's really, you know, we have fake food.
	We've got fake money.
	We've got fake leadership.
	We've got, you know, fake education.
	Everything.
	It's just so, and yeah.
	And you had mentioned earlier, and I do want to highlight that.
	Like, so a lot of interviews I've done with people that survived hyperinflation, and that's happened many, many times.
	They often talked about, well, you need to have another thing, like have a bank account in another country or have some other currency.
	There's not going to be that option.
	All of the fiat currencies are going to collapse all at once and probably the entire banking system.
	Actually, I hope the entire banking system.
	We would be so much better off without JPMorgan, you know?
	Right.
	And if governments lost the ability to print fiat currency, then we wouldn't have war.
	Exactly.
	I mean, we wouldn't have all the propaganda funded by that.
	We wouldn't have the CDC, the FDA, and all that nonsense.
	We wouldn't have had COVID.
	I mean, all of that is funded by currency counterfeiting, which is what happens.
	Even back to Minnesota, I heard a lot of people watching them online complaining, oh, there's so much fraud in Minnesota.
	I said, if you want to end the fraud, you have to end the Fed.
	Because as long as you can print money, there's going to be money just shoved out to people's pockets and the government gives them a wink and a nod.
	Yeah, here, take your billion and give me back, you know, 500 million into my campaign funding for all the Democrats or, and there's GOP members involved in this too.
	It's not just one party.
	But if you want to end the fraud, you have to end the Fed.
	It's the only way.
	Well, you know, I don't know if you remember back when Elon was doing the Doge thing, what was it, nine months or almost a year ago, and he found the magic computers, right?
	There were 14, one magic computer should have set the whole world into a collapse spin right at that moment.
	And basically, for those who don't know what I'm talking about, is they found a computer that you just put in your routing number and your account number, and then you can put any dollar amount you want in there, and money just gets put into your account.
	And there's no bonds that are created.
	There's no accounting.
	It's just money.
	It's just money.
	And they were one, just one of those accounts, they were tracking like $5 trillion a year was being spent.
	And somebody said, what are they spending it on?
	Well, they rented an entire stadium and threw a party for who knows how many thousands of people.
	I'm like, what?
	When that news came out, that should have collapsed the entire global financial system at that point in time.
	Everybody's just like, doo-doo.
	Here we go.
	And those magic money computers have not been deactivated.
	They're still running.
	Exactly.
	I mean, that system.
	So, yes, the system is going to collapse.
	And the thing that's interesting about this year, 2026, I mean, I know you and I have both shared warnings for many years and it's difficult to make timeline projections, but I've never seen more people talk about how they think this is it.
	This is the last year that this system functions.
	Are you hearing that from people?
	I am hearing that a lot.
	And, you know, yeah, we've been watching this for years.
	And there's a lot of times I thought, wow, this is it.
	At this time, it really is it.
	I mean, we have never seen outrageous money printing by every government on earth.
	We're already seeing the trend of price increases on that bathtub curve to hyperinflation.
	You know, the corruption is just obvious to anybody who is even halfway awake.
	We're here, right?
	It's just a matter of when or what tipping point is going to make this happen.
	But you can absolutely count on food prices continuing to go up.
	You know, who knows when China is going to take Taiwan?
	That will probably be sometime this year, right?
	And then at that point, electronics, all kinds of trade is going to break down.
Shaking Zombies 00:03:44
	You're going to have a hard time getting, you're already having a hard time getting parts and replacement parts and supplies.
	We're in it, guys.
	We're in it.
	Like, this is happening.
	Sometimes I just want to grab people and shake them.
	But it doesn't help to shake zombies, it turns out.
	The zombies don't wake up when you shake them.
	They just get annoyed.
	I want to ask you about what's in your course for our audience, but first, tell our audience a little bit about your background because people need to know that you have a strong background in finance as well as engineering and technical skills and formal education as well.
	Just can you give us a quick brief of your background before you were Marjorie Wildcraft teaching homefront skills?
	Yeah, so several decades ago, I was always very, I grew up in a, you know, quite a poor family.
	Well, being poor in America is really not that much of a hardship, but it was a poor family.
	And so I always had this like, I want to make money thing.
	And I happened to run across Robert Kiyosaki long before he was famous and really took to heart and mentorship with him.
	Ended up building a very successful real estate investment business in Austin, Texas.
	Actually, it was so successful, Robert said, hey, could you be on my infomercials?
	So for four years, I was on national television selling rich dad, poor dad stuff for Robert, which, you know, I was playing the game, right?
	I'd made my first million by the time I was 40.
	I was now gunning for my, you know, 10 million net worth mark, you know, that whole thing.
	And then I was volunteering on this project to get locally grown food into, we thought we'd start with a little elementary school in Red Rock, Texas, which is a little southeast of Austin there.
	And that project was a complete and utter failure.
	And I will never forget that night when we all realized it.
	I had organized the meeting.
	We were all at the Red Rock Community Center.
	And it dawned on us that there were not enough farmers to provide even part of the vegetables to one small rural elementary school.
	And this is outside of Austin, which is, you know, quote unquote progressive, right?
	And, you know, we'd think there'd be more locally grown food.
	And suddenly that drive from Austin to Red Rock made sense.
	Like there's no crops out there, maybe a few cattle.
	There's a new dollar general going in and here's a new subdivision, but there's no food out in the countryside, you know.
	And I just couldn't stop.
	I was shaking for hours.
	And I knew that I had to learn how to grow food.
	I had two small kids and I knew that I had to teach other people how to grow food.
	And, you know, it was like everybody wants the message from God or from your higher self.
	And that was it.
	And so I ended up selling the real estate business and saying, okay, well, this is what I need to devote my life to.
	And I didn't know anything.
	If you don't know anything about growing food, I can totally relate to that.
	You know, I had to learn everything and then figure it out.
	And, you know, like, and then figure out the best way to teach people.
	And over the years, I realized, oh, people are not going to grow food until there's a crisis.
	So how can I cherry-pick the easiest and the funnest and the fastest ways to grow food for people who have no experience?
	And maybe they're older or they're out of shape.
	And so I figured out this grow half system that I've, gosh, I think we've had more than a million people watch that webinar.
Growing Your Own Food 00:15:47
	And it's also in the wartime homefront bundle.
	And it'll get you up to speed really, really fast.
	And I'm assuming that you have only about a backyard size space.
	All right.
	So that's really critical.
	So for those watching, you don't have to be an expert gardener at all.
	You can be a total newbie.
	You don't have to be young and flexible and be able to work eight hours a day.
	We're not into that.
	Neither you nor I, Marjorie, we don't want to work eight hours a day in a garden.
	You don't have to.
	You're talking minutes a day to produce a significant portion of your food, right?
	Minutes a day.
	Some days it's just five minutes because I've got to run.
	There's that meeting.
	We just had a flat tire, whatever, you know?
	And then, yeah, maybe on the weekends, you're going to spend two hours redoing that garden bed or fixing this thing up.
	But, you know, we're all busy.
	And just because we're in the apocalypse does not mean we're going to have more time.
	Although I keep waiting for the 10 days of darkness.
	I'm like, when are we going to get the 10 days of darkness?
	I'm ready for a vacation.
	Okay, so everybody, you can learn this in the Wartime Homefront Essential Skills docu series that is airing free of charge at brightu.com.
	That's the word bright, followed by the letter U.
	It's short for Bright University.
	So brightu.com, and it begins streaming January 31st, but you can register earlier and get on the list and start getting ready for this.
	You can also do a lot of research.
	I want to mention, Marjorie, here's a great resource.
	You know about our books engine at books.brightlearn.ai.
	Did you know that there are more than 16,000 books that have been published there now?
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	You gave me an invite to that, and I have been so busy and had a wonderful time with my son over Christmas that I haven't gotten to it yet, but I'm excited to please use it.
	And for our audience here, you can click on self-reliance and you can see here's like the Arctic Pantry, the Blackberry Cultivators, Bible, Stormproof, et cetera, et cetera.
	You can click on survival, et cetera.
	And all these books are downloadable for free.
	So you can sort of add them to your local knowledge base to have on your own computer.
	And I think, Marjorie, what I want to suggest, this is just spontaneous, but I want to suggest to our crew that we put together a special collection of 50 or 100 additional books from Bright Learn to include with your course.
	So if people purchase your course, they're going to, yeah, go ahead.
	We're going to do that.
	And then we're also, I've been stashing stuff forever, and I really like stuff that was written like before 1930, right?
	Before everything got so whatever.
	And yeah, I've got a whole stash of like more than 2,000 military manuals that we're going to be adding to this also.
	So this would be small team tactics, military survival in almost every kind of climate you can imagine, you know, foraging, wildcrafting, you know, military field manuals.
	So we're going to be adding that as another bonus.
	So that's another 2,000 books, which, you know, I love that stuff.
	Yeah, because it's like written by real legitimate, you know, like this is stuff that you really want to be packing.
	And both you and I, we know we're never going to read all those, but what I'm planning on doing is creating my own local AI that I will train that on and say, hey, now I've got my own personal GI Joe here, which is what everybody's going, you know, hopefully everybody's going to be doing is you're collecting information.
	You're collecting, not only are you learning and gathering skills, but then you'll be, you know, I love the AI that you've got going on over there and that you've developed, Enoch, and starting to use that too.
	I'm really a big fan of having something locally in case, well, not in case one of the trade-downs.
	Well, yeah.
	And I'll mention that what's happening with AI is that you'll be able to run a local AI engine on moderate hardware.
	You won't even need a GPU.
	I've even seen some new GitHub repos that are all about this, and they will use your local documents as a reference layer.
	So the important thing is to gather all these books, gather all this knowledge, have it stored locally.
	And then pretty soon, this year for sure, you'll be able to install a local AI engine that uses all of that so you can ask ask it any question out of all those books.
	The key thing to remember with all these AIs, and I think people don't really understand this, is it's only as good as the information that you put in it.
	That's right.
	Coders, you know, garbage in, garbage out, and talk to Chat GPT or Grok and, you know, garbage in, garbage out.
	So you really want to be gathering information.
	I also, one of the things with the wartime home front thing is there's a lot of videos, and these are real, legitimate people that have been doing this for decades.
	And I find, you know, watching a video of somebody doing something that's really, really, really powerful and somehow enables me in a much greater way.
	So in addition to all the PDFs and all the information that I'm stacking and storing, I do really like that the video presentations.
	100%.
	That's why your course is so crucial here because it's teaching people the actual how-to skills.
	I want to remind people again, brightu.com if you want to register for that.
	And I've got so many more questions for you, but I wanted to bring this up and show you this.
	Have you ever heard?
	I mean, this is brand new, actually.
	It's called Lean L-E-A-N-N.
	This is a GitHub repo from a contributor here named Yichuan.
	Yichuang Wang.
	Okay.
	So what this does is it has a 97% reduction of storage space with zero accuracy loss for reference information for local AI.
	So this just came out, and this is the kind of technology I'm talking about.
	Oh my gosh, I'm writing that down.
	Yeah, it's it basically it's a compression.
	Here's a here's a graph here.
	So you can take 200 gigabytes of traditional vector database knowledge and this compresses it to six gigabytes, which means you can have massive libraries of human knowledge on your laptop or on your desktop computer.
	Now, this is still pretty techie to kind of implement, but it's going to get way easier.
	I'm just mentioning this because this is the kind of technology that's coming in 2026 where like I'm dealing with massive repositories of human knowledge, hundreds of terabytes, okay, and some of what we're putting into our engines.
	But you're going to be able to have massive, massive collections.
	Eventually, almost all human knowledge that's ever been published will be accessible on a typical desktop computer.
	So that's coming.
	And that's a game changer.
	And Marjorie, you and I both believe in decentralization of knowledge.
	We want to have local control.
	It bypasses censorship.
	It works even if the grid's down, even if the internet's down, even in World War III, freaking nuclear bombs going off everywhere.
	As long as you can boot up a local laptop, you can get all your questions answered.
	We're living in really, really incredible times.
	And the new things that are coming available are, I believe, it's already, we're in an exponential.
	It's hard to even visualize what's going to happen.
	And just as we're seeing a complete ramp up in World War III, we're also seeing unbelievable breakthroughs in medicine and healthcare.
	Of course, it's not coming from the existing AMA and medical system.
	You know, the energetic medicines that are coming out and different things.
	So it's an incredibly exciting time to be alive.
	There's one thing, though, is you're going to probably still want to eat like at least one or two meals a day.
	Right.
	Right.
	Well, exactly.
	So let's get back into your course because food scarcity is going to be such a critical issue here.
	And with food inflation, it means that being able to grow your own food is going to be like a gold mine.
	I mean, talk about printing your own currency, growing tomatoes, growing okra, growing potatoes.
	I mean, that's free mana from heaven almost, really, right?
	Yeah.
	It's your growing your own food is like printing your own money.
	It is, really.
	And as I've said, the calorie, which has, you know, most people are like, oh, I want low calorie, I don't want no calorie, like the calorie is going to become a unit of currency.
	It always does in every single collapse scenario, even if it's just a short-term thing.
	I mean, most people only have three or four days worth of food in their pantry.
	And if an emergency goes past a week, you see people like getting hungry and getting agitated.
	So, you know, what we're talking about is much, much more massive than that and much longer duration.
	I really enjoy following David Dubine, who's a frequent contributor to Brighteon there.
	I know that you interview him regularly.
	If you really want to get into that.
	He's coming back on soon.
	Yeah.
	If you want to get into the nitty-gritty of the, and it's a combination, if you watch David, it's a combination of natural cycles with weather problems and issues, you know, drought or flooding destroying crops and then governmental intentional intervention to destroy and reduce production.
	We're in it.
	We're there.
	And, you know, there's no doubt that we will have almost any, almost everybody you interview is talking about this, that food is going to become very, very difficult to obtain.
	And I would say don't wait for that because it's already the food that's out there in the commercial system is toxic anyway.
	So growing your own food, it's just, I say the process of growing food is more beneficial to your health than eating the high quality products, you know, getting out the basics, you know, sunlight, fresh air, getting away from, I don't know where my phone is right now, getting away from your phone, you know, getting outside barefoot on the grass.
	These are the basics of health.
	And, you know, growing your own food, just a half an hour a day, you will notice a tremendous difference even before you produce your first tomato.
	Okay, so I'm updating the chart here.
	Instead of eat real food, it's going to say grow real food right here.
	Grow real food.
	And then, you know, we'll put a line or something through eat.
	I mean, yeah, you should eat it too, but mostly you should grow real food.
	Okay, I want to show you something else, Marjorie, because this is how they're going to control this.
	This is very interesting.
	So Tether has launched a gold stable coin called XAUT.
	And the gold stable coin is priced according to gold, which is better than having a stable coin price in dollars because dollars are not stable and they're collapsing.
	So Tether, which has ties to the Trump administration, ties to all the big banks, they buy treasuries, et cetera, right?
	they're they're a protected financial infrastructure player they've launched the what's that Extremely corrupt.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	Well, yeah, so that's another podcast, but XAUT, it's a digital token backed by physical gold.
	This is why Tether's been buying gold.
	So what they're going to say here next is they're going to pitch it and say, oh, everybody, you should start paying for your groceries with gold.
	And the government's going to support it.
	And the whole financial infrastructure, JP Morgan, all the banks and everything will support it because it's a tracked transaction.
	It's not private.
	It's going to, you know, this is on the Ethereum blockchain, by the way.
	So they're going to be able to see everything.
	And then they're going to be able to put in purchase quotas.
	Like, oh, you've had, you bought your chicken for the week.
	That's it.
	Good luck.
	This is how it happens.
	It's a stepping stone to a CBDC.
	Yeah, that's why your own backyard food production, they have no idea.
	You know, Lynette Zhang, who I really appreciate, and she's her area of expertise is she studies the life cycles of currencies and currencies have life cycles.
	The U.S. dollar is way past being on life support.
	Like it died in 2008, actually.
	And she says, what usually happens is governments will make three different offers to the people as you're going through this inflationary experience, and all of them will be rejected.
	And I wouldn't be surprised if the tether backed by gold was one of those options that they try to give people and people completely reject.
	Well, tell us more about that.
	You're saying the establishment makes three offers to the population to escape with a lifeboat here?
	Or what are you saying?
	Well, yeah, you know, like as prices go higher and higher, then they'll say, okay, overnight, like let's say you have $1,000 in your bank account.
	They'll come out with a new U.S. dollar that one new U.S. dollar is equal to $1,000 of the old ones.
	And overnight, they completely revalued your bank account.
	So if you had $1,000 in there, now it's one of the new dollars.
	And that happens.
	But that doesn't stop the inflation.
	And people, you know, basically begin to reject that.
	They try a whole bunch of other stuff.
	And now that they've got these CBDCs and these things like the Tether, gold back tether, they're going to try those type of things.
	I believe they'll all be rejected by the people also.
	And you should never trust these people like SLV, right?
	The ETF that I can't believe that JP Morgan is a custodian of it, right?
	JP Morgan?
	Oh, that is hilarious.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They got fined $980 million.
	The largest fine for manipulating precious metals markets is in charge of SLV.
	And for people who don't know what SLV is, it's an exchange traded fund on the stock market.
	And the idea is if you buy one share of SLV for whatever the price is, they'll buy one ounce of silver.
	And so whatever the price of silver is, is approximately the price of one share of SLV.
	And JP Morgan just announced last week, so there should be, you know, there's like 508 outstanding shares of SLB.
	There should be 508 million ounces of silver somewhere in a vault, right?
	Yeah.
	And JP Morgan just announced, I think they actually only have like 180 ounces.
	They're like, oops.
	So massive rehypothecation.
	You know, so what do you think there's going to be going on with this tether and the gold?
	Like, would you trust Tether for, I mean, you know.
	Well, Tether can't even do accounting of their treasuries properly.
	Exactly.
	We've been costing so much, like, there's no accurate accounting of what they've been doing.
	It's like ghost accounting.
Back Touch, Silver Worth 00:02:14
	It's like, trust us.
	Here, we had somebody in the Cayman Islands put their name on some letterhead that says we have that money.
	So trust us.
	Yeah.
	Because all the best honest accountants work out of the Cayman Islands.
	Did you know that?
	Yeah.
	Right.
	Just such crazy time.
	You know, gold, physical silver in your hand.
	You know, I actually, I feel somewhat exonerated now.
	It actually feels pretty good because for 20 more years I've been talking to people.
	Silver is an incredible investment.
	You know, I was buying it when it was $5 an ounce.
	And I can't tell you how many family and friends are like willing to realize, oh, you can spend, you know, whatever.
	And now that the price is going up, they're like, oh, oh, my gosh.
	That only took 20-something years.
	You know, it's funny because I have a friend who just got back in touch with me.
	And 10 years ago, they actually listened to me and they bought a bunch of junk silver, but they didn't know anything about it.
	So they were getting back in touch with me to ask me how much is it worth?
	And this was just last week.
	And so they told me how much junk silver they had.
	I did the math and I told them, your junk silver is worth $311,000.
	And they said, what?
	Like, yeah, you, you picked up a few bags, you know, good job.
	And now you should make sure you hold on to that.
	Yeah, don't sell that because we are just getting ready to go on that ride.
	You know, that's that's I silver really is so much more precious than gold.
	There's so much more gold on the planet, even than what's been inventoried.
	And there's so little silver.
	Like, I, you know, really.
	Yeah, you don't want to give up physical silver right now.
	That's for sure.
	And that's the other basic thing is you want something that's tangible and real.
	Like we're in such a fake world.
	So silver, you know, tools, you know, even screws and nuts and bolts.
Women and Children's Survival Guide 00:05:51
	You know, when you're at a thrift shop or you're at a garage sale and, you know, some guy's selling his ex-wife or the widow is selling all the tools, you know, pick that stuff up.
	And then, of course, being able to grow food, it's, you know, it's, it's going to cost a lot of money to be able to eat very soon.
	There's this one unbelievably tragic story from Weimer, Germany is this elderly man withdrew all the money in his pension, which was like 122,000 marks.
	And he bought a sandwich, which has cost 122,000 marks, which was his entire life savings, ate the sandwich, and then shot himself in the head because he had nothing left.
	Don't get caught up in that kind of behavior.
	There is a lot you can do, right?
	And yes, so buying some physical silver is, and I'm just saying that because it's a wonderful example of being correct on what's going on and seeing the major trends.
	And food is going to be another major trend.
	What about preservation of the food?
	Because, and back to your course, again, wartime homefront essential skills begins streaming January 31st, but you can register before that at brightyou.com.
	But here's the thing: you know, not everybody lives in a place where you can grow year-round.
	So do you also teach preservation strategies?
	Yes, that's absolutely a part of it.
	So we have the how to grow half.
	We have the food preservation.
	We have a whole section on foraging, which is free food.
	There's a lot of actually really good free food out there.
	A bit on home medicine, especially treating like 12 common ailments with herbs, which is a great way to get started.
	Start with the small issues that come up in your family.
	How to find like-minded neighbors and build self-reliant community very simply and very easily.
	I've done it several times in my life.
	How to build soil because your nutrition comes from the ground.
	And so how do you make sure that your plants and your animals are getting the deep nutrition?
	How do you have soil that's really, really healthy?
	A property purchase checklist.
	So if you haven't found a place, this will help guide you on what to look for, what's important.
	I have an interview with Dr. Kaifu Lee, who is one of the world's leading experts in artificial intelligence.
	And we talk about AI and the impact on backyard food production as well as food production in general with AI.
	Let's see, growing tomatoes because everybody loves growing tomatoes.
	And then, of course, we've got a whole bunch of e-books in there.
	And then we have all those survival manuals.
	And you're tossing in some books from the bright, from the AI book generation.
	So it's going to be a massive support library.
	And I'd like to point out, Mike, I lived in Texas for more than 20 years.
	And I absolutely am good with a gun, a rifle, shotgun.
	You know, I learned, I practice, I take, take, take lots of courses regularly, keep those skills updated.
	But I'm not about, I'm about the home front.
	I'm about, and it's important for everybody to have defense skills.
	I really think that's essential.
	Even women and children, my kids, when they were kids, when they were little, they knew how to handle a gun.
	They knew how to clean a gun.
	They knew gun safety.
	But this is about the home front.
	Like, what do the women and children do?
	And the home front is about food.
	You know, it's about making sure that everybody's stomach is full.
	It's about taking care of, you know, oops, he slipped with the axe and cut his leg open.
	How do you do that when there are no doctors?
	You know, it's about community and building a community, having like-minded people that you can for the little things, like celebrating birthdays.
	You know, I mean, it's the little things in life that really, really make a life delightful.
	We're in this big event called the apocalypse or World War III or, you know, collapse or whatever you want to call it, but it's still the small things which come from community.
	So how to build community.
	So that's what the home front part of the wartime home front skills is all about.
	You know, I'm a woman, I'm a female.
	I grew up in the South and was big into sports and we would always travel everywhere.
	And my coach was a Civil War buff.
	And so we'd always be stopping at this battlefield and that battlefield and talking about Civil War battles.
	But I always said, well, but what were the women and children doing?
	You know, it was always something I wanted to know because they certainly underwent incredible hardships.
	And so this is a resource that's been created for the women and children.
	How do you take care of your family on a day-to-day basis and keep things meaningful and happy and warm and safe within your home?
	So that's why this is the wartime home front essential skills.
	That makes perfect sense.
	And it actually reminds me of a question I wanted to ask you, which is about, you know, the currency collapse that we both believe is coming.
	Isn't it difficult to imagine how the United States of America as it exists today remains fully intact following a currency collapse?
	I don't see how we don't have a massive, rapid decentralization of power away from Washington, D.C., the Treasury, the Fed, et cetera.
Surviving Currency Collapse 00:11:34
	I mean, what do you see, though?
	I'm curious.
	I agree because, I mean, here I live in Puerto Rico and I talk to people that have survived Hurricane Maria.
	And here where I live in Western Puerto Rico, there was no power for six months.
	And you couldn't go to the gas station.
	No credit cards work.
	No banks work.
	There was no, there was no transactions like that that are possible.
	The only thing I can hope for is that this currency collapse has been well known.
	Since the Federal Reserve was created, they knew that this would be the strategy is to create as many dollars as possible to buy the, you know, buy the stuff, build the roads, build the bridges, do the whole thing, you know, inflate the currency to infinity, but create and gather as much resources as possible.
	And I'm hoping that they do have some other plan in place, especially now that we have digital currencies with accountability, not the Tether Goldback thing, but real currencies that we can work with.
	I can only hope that some of those systems will come online.
	And in the interim, it's going to be very, very, very, very difficult.
	It's going to be extraordinarily difficult.
	I just don't know what people are going to do in the big cities when there's no food or when their cell phone doesn't work.
	Like, oh my God, what was it?
	Spain a little while ago and the cell system went down for like a couple of days and we're going back to my Did you know that right now in Berlin, big parts of the city have no power for many days now?
	There was some kind of sabotage attack, I think, on the power grid there.
	So not a good time to not have power in Berlin in the middle of the winter, right?
	Yeah, people can get cold very quickly.
	But to your point, I don't see how many city dwellers even survive a financial collapse event because they don't have the skills that you teach, period.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I don't know.
	I mean, if you're in a city right now and people say, what can I do?
	How can I grow food in the city?
	I say, get out of the city, you know, a small town somewhere, anywhere, you know, do the best you can.
	I just don't know, Mike.
	They've been delaying this and delaying this and pushing it off and pushing it off.
	And it's been getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
	And when it happens, I just can't see it being easy or gradual.
	We are seeing chinks all the time, just like what you're talking about, Berlin down for a couple of days or this water thing busted or this bridge destroyed or this broken.
	I mean, there's been all kinds of small things happening everywhere.
	But at some point, we're going to get into that currency collapse and the banking system.
	Actually, silver is the Achilles heel to the banking system.
	For years, most of us have been watching silver have said, when the price of silver gets too high, it's going to destroy the banking system.
	So, you know, when is that going to happen?
	2026 is in the cards to being a hugely, hugely disruptive year.
	The Deagle report, I don't know how much you've talked about that, is a the Deagle group is a CIA-backed military think tank.
	And for years, they had these projections of population.
	And they talked about they used to have a whole Excel spreadsheet of different countries and what the projected population was.
	And they saw that the United States population would decline by like some outrageous amount, 60% or something like that.
	Yeah, no, I remember the report.
	And I think they said the U.S. population would decline to 99 million people.
	Yeah, right.
	So one of what we want to watch, they always have these numbers.
	That's an interesting number that they use there, 99.
	And if I recall, the timeframe for that was 2025.
	And I was kind of like, got through that, right?
	You know, I'm wondering if 2026 is that year as a currency collapse.
	Yeah, I don't know, Mike.
	I agree.
	Sometimes some things are just too horrible to even try and comprehend.
	And you just have to do the best you can to prepare for yourself and your family and your neighborhood and realize that massive, massive changes are going on globally.
	And it's actually, it's a massive, the fight, and I've heard you talk about this a lot.
	And I agree with you.
	It's actually at the deepest levels, or maybe the highest level, it's a spiritual war of good versus evil.
	And at some point, and I think many of us have already decided which side we're on.
	We're going to put it to the test.
	Yeah, we're going to be put to the test.
	So let me remind our viewers here, the course is called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills, and it begins streaming January 31st at brightyou.com.
	Now, in a recent interview, Elon Musk said that we're going to have a universal basic income.
	Everybody's going to be given enough money to live comfortably.
	Some people, sort of the AI optimists, they call it a universal high income.
	But I say we already have a UBI and that's universal basic ignorance.
	And because it's universal, like everybody's ignorant of how to grow their own food and even what is food.
	That's why the government had to tell Americans eat real food because they're eating synthetic garbage crap all day long, which tells you something about the collapse of the Western man.
	I mean, if you have to be told to stop eating fake garbage, there's something wrong with you.
	I mean, I don't know.
	This is not politically correct to say this, but we have universal basic ignorance.
	And that does not bode well for the survival of those people.
	That's why I advocate your course.
	If you want to live through this, you better get these skills.
	No other way to put it.
	I'm going to quote you on that, Mike.
	I love that.
	Universal basic ignorance.
	And if you're expecting the government to give you money to help you through this, you are seriously misguided.
	Yeah, delusional.
	Or big tech or whatever.
	Really, you expect them to give you something for free?
	That sounds like a rhetoric from a group I don't really want to be involved with.
	I guarantee you, if you do get involved with it, it's going to come with some strings.
	So yeah, you don't want to get involved with that at all.
	In fact, I'm doing everything I can.
	And as much as I teach people is to just get out of those systems as much as possible, physical silver and saving nickels, saving your change, growing your own food, starting to deal with people directly in the private.
	I want maybe a massage or whatever.
	I'm going to pay you in cash for that.
	I buy most of my food from, if I don't grow it myself from farmers, I pay them directly.
	Buying more and more services within my community directly.
	I get all my computers off of Microsoft and Apple.
	I'm operating Linux.
	I'm working with D. Google phones.
	Everything you can do to distance yourself from those systems is really, really, really important.
	And food, I think is, well, that's why I've, gosh, Mike, you know, having a business teaching people to grow food has not been nowhere near as lucrative as what I was doing before.
	It's the primary thing.
	It is the most important thing, which is, you know, why I was given the directions to do that.
	So I spent a long time really dialing this in on what's the easiest and fastest and funnest way to do that.
	And that, please, if you, when you watch the whole thing, it's free, but I really recommend you at least watch that one on how to grow half of your own food, which is, I believe, the first presentation we're going to have up for free in the wartime home front essential skills program.
	And, you know, then we'll have all the rest, the food preservation and how to build communities.
	So it's just a, and I like to have a lot of fun with stuff.
	You know, we don't, it's not like.
	We do.
	You and I always have a great time, even though we're talking about the apocalypse.
	But, you know, you came from the world of finance and our culture has been so focused on things like FOMO, fear of missing out of the next rally of the next NVIDIA stock or whatever.
	And I would add two thoughts to that.
	First of all, you should be more concerned about FOSO, fear of starving out.
	So go from FOMO to FOSO and then tell the FOMO Mofos in the finance industry that their stuff is not important anymore.
	The FOMO Mofos are going to starve and they're going to then have FOSO, but it'll be too late for them.
	So you can be the advanced FOSO leader.
	Lyrics for another rap song there, Mike.
	I know, yeah, for sure.
	But, you know, this is the truth.
	What matters?
	We live in this world of artificial financialization of everything, and none of that's going to matter at the end of the day.
	What's going to matter is: do you have enough food to survive?
	And are you able to protect it?
	Do you have the knowledge to preserve it?
	And that's what your course teaches.
	So, again, it's called Wartime Homefront Essential Skills.
