Eric Yeung details China's energy security, noting domestic oil covers 30% of consumption while solar and nuclear expansion, aided by suppressed silver prices, fuels a green revolution where EVs now comprise 60% of new sales. He argues US protectionism may spur American innovation despite gaps in automation and rare earths, predicts peaceful Taiwan reunification due to Western limitations, and warns that China's drone carriers could force the US to back off oil tanker escorts. Ultimately, Yeung urges de-dollarization via physical gold and silver to hedge against potential US currency devaluation driven by geopolitical conflicts. [Automatically generated summary]

China's Energy Strategy00:15:06
All right, welcome to today's interview, everybody.
I'm Mike Adams here with brightvideos.com.
And I've got an incredible guest for you today.
It's Eric Young.
His handle on X is KingKong9888.
That's 9888 if you'd like to follow him there.
And I think it's very wise to follow him there because he has a lot of insights and he's on the side of honesty and truth on almost everything that he posts there.
So, Mr. Young, it's an honor to have you on the show today.
Thanks for joining me.
Well, thank you very much for inviting me to your show, Mike.
It's a pleasure.
I'm really honored to have you here.
I'm a big fan of your work, and I know some of your very successful history of investment.
I believe you live in Hong Kong, correct?
Correct.
Okay, fantastic.
And we have so much to cover here and so little time, but first, let's cover one of the myths that is often propagated by people in America.
They think that Trump waging war against Iran.
Is closing the strait in a way that will hurt China first, that China will suffer the most pain and therefore Trump is victorious.
What is your answer to that common perception?
So I don't think that's exactly accurate, Michael, like the common perception, because China has been working over the last 20 years or even more to ensure that it has energy security.
I mean, I live in Hong Kong.
I travel to China a lot.
I'm back and forth on a weekly basis, essentially.
And I can tell you right now that there are zero signs of energy scarcity in China.
Yeah.
Like zero signs.
You know, if you understand China, let me tell you this.
Let me tell your audience this.
If there's any potential energy squeeze, we would be seeing that right now.
In China, amongst the people and all over social media.
But we're not seeing that.
So that means that tells me that China has the energy situation handled.
And if we look at the actual, you know, China's actual energy composition, I mean, like I'm talking about where China gets its energy from, it's actually pretty, you know, stable in terms of, you know, even let's say, If the Middle Eastern energy imports are significantly impacted.
Now, a lot of the audience may not know, but China actually is a crude oil producing and refining juggernaut.
China actually produces 30% of the crude oil that it consumes internally.
So, a lot of people.
Thought or think that China imports all its energy.
That's not true.
So, 30% of that is domestically produced.
And also, people are always shocked when I point out how much solar, wind, and hydro power China has.
And I did a special report last year when I mentioned that the aggregate annual terawatt hours of output of China's power grid is more than double the United States.
And people were quite shocked about that.
Correct.
And it's growing rapidly.
Yes.
Thanks for that.
Much faster.
Yeah.
Exactly.
And thanks to, by the way, thanks to the Western banking cartel, because they have been suppressing the price of silver to ridiculous low prices.
Yes.
So the Chinese import all the silver to China to manufacture solar panels.
And they're cheap.
So, in a way, like, you know, by the bankers in the West protecting their, you know, price suppression of silver.
Gain, they have been helping China with energy diversification.
That is fascinating.
And comment, if you would, please, on how you mentioned energy security is critical to every nation and especially China, but also the energy abundance that China has developed over decades, while, for example, Western Europe was shutting down coal plants and nuclear plants, et cetera.
This has put China at the forefront of AI.
Technology because it doesn't have the power restrictions that even the United States is experiencing.
What are your comments on that?
Well, you're absolutely correct.
China is ramping up on nuclear energy.
A couple of days ago, I heard reports of China starting to build another 17 new nuclear power plants.
And then yesterday, I heard 50.
So, like, the number keeps going up.
Okay.
Of China building new.
Nuclear power plants.
As a matter of fact, I brought my little daughter to the newest, biggest indoor ski park in Shenzhen, China.
Like, this place just opened the end of last year, around November, December.
Indoor?
Indoor.
And that place, imagine the amount of energy that you need to power that thing.
Because, like, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, we're located in the southern parts of China.
So we have pretty, it's not as hot as Thailand, but we get like 25, 26 degrees right now.
And in the summer, it gets up to 35 degrees.
So it takes a lot of energy to power this thing.
And my understanding is that this place is powered by nuclear energy because there's a big nuclear power plant at Waijiao, which is the suburb of Shenzhen.
And let me tell you something, Mike.
Let me tell you one more thing.
The interesting thing is that when this thing was built in the 1980s, all the, you know, Gordon Chang's, I mean, he didn't, you know, he wasn't a personality back then, but like people who were anti China, they were protesting against it for years.
So that, I think, you know, again, is part of the long term planning of the Chinese central government.
They have been planning for decades.
To ensure that China would have energy independence.
Yes, yes.
And it's clear also, so let me pivot, but it's related to I saw that KATL, C A T L, just announced another major breakthrough in vehicle battery technology, I think using a nickel manganese cobalt addition to the lithium, achieving a very high energy density and lower battery weight than any other battery technology in the world.
I, as an American, Eric, I'm not allowed to buy these batteries from China.
I'm not allowed to buy a Chinese EV, even though they're better and cheaper than the Teslas that I can buy.
Canada is about to do a deal with China to import a lot of vehicles.
They're going to have the best vehicle technology of all.
And China, by shifting, I think 60% of Chinese vehicles are now EVs instead of combustion engines, they've been able to shift or reduce reliance on oil.
And shift to their local domestic energy production for transportation.
That's genius.
You're absolutely correct.
I mean, like for the longest time, people made fun of China.
They were saying, well, China building all these EVs is just some dead end green energy, liberal BS idea.
But now we see that it's not that.
Like the reason why China pushed the electric vehicle industry.
For all these years, it is because it's part of the greater energy independence plan to reduce their reliance on crude oil.
And, like, you're right.
Like, last year I checked it was around 50% of all new vehicles being EV.
You're correct that now it's 60%.
And the fact that we have this Middle Eastern situation is actually pushing Chinese citizens and in Hong Kong as well to buy more EVs.
So, Remember all that inventory, all that so called overcapacity of electric vehicles that China produced last year?
Well, that inventory is quickly going away.
It's quickly being sold.
As a matter of fact, Chinese exports of EV have at least doubled since the Middle Eastern war began at the beginning of March.
So, in a way, I mean, it's not only me saying it, you can say that Donald Trump is actually.
Open the Chinese EV industry to export all this assets.
He's an EV salesman now.
Correct.
So I was joking on my X account.
I said the Chinese EV companies should give Donald Trump a cut, a commission, because, like, I mean, like, how, like, he's the only person who could double Chinese EV sales within two months.
It's a miracle.
True.
It is a miracle.
Interestingly, I've heard also that sales of Korean EVs, which are allowed in The United States from Hyundai, for example, those sales are up 500% also since the war began.
Wow.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
So, Korea, which is, you know, sometimes trying to compete with China battery technology, but Korea isn't as advanced, but still, they're still selling a lot of vehicles.
So, you know, at some point, I don't know about you, Eric, but, you know, you travel a lot, you speak amazing English.
I, as an American, and I, I lived in Taiwan in years past and I speak some conversational Chinese, but I'm starting to feel like I'm at the disadvantage in America as a consumer who's not allowed to buy the most innovative technology now.
Whereas decades ago when I lived in Taiwan, it was the other way around.
Taiwan was trying to import stuff from America because that was the newest, that was the best.
Now, obviously, it's completely different.
And we in America are more like the third world.
It's bizarre, but that's where we are.
Well, I mean, Mike, I think at the end of the day, this might be a temporary phenomenon because Donald Trump, he's only going to be president for another two more years.
After Donald Trump, there may be some policy change in the US where these tariffs imposed on China may come down a bit, which allow.
Which would allow Chinese EVs to be imported into America.
Now, I'm not saying that all the tariffs on China's advanced technological industries are going to be lifted by the next US government.
But even if it's partially lifted, I think that would give American companies the competition that it needs to push it to innovate.
To the next level, so that you guys are not like completely behind.
Like the US is not North Korea.
That's my point.
Right, right.
No, I agree with you.
So that's not going to happen.
Yeah.
And there will be some level of protectionism of US industries like Ford, et cetera, and even Tesla.
But I like what you said if some relaxing of certain tariffs could help spur domestic innovation while still allowing domestic industries to do well.
But that brings me to then the rare earths question.
And I know you've covered this in many of your tweets.
But China has restrictions on some, but not all.
Some of the restrictions are temporary.
Some could be made permanent if things get crazy in terms of trade wars between the US and China.
But Trump obviously panicked a little while ago, realizing that we can't build a lot of our military equipment without Chinese rare earths and that extraction technology and that know how and then the infrastructure, right?
So then Trump announced we're going to have domestic rare earths, but you and I know that's going to be a tiny, tiny percentage and it's going to take 10 years, it's not going to cover.
What we need.
So, what's the rare earth factor going to look like in the next couple of years, in your view?
I think China's concern, like you said, is that the US government is going to take some of these Chinese rare earths to be used within the military industrial complex to build new cruise missiles, jet fighters, et cetera.
China obviously doesn't want that.
So there's that component right there, but there's also another component where China imports, like we talked about, China imports a lot of silver from the US.
So there are certain critical minerals, the Chinese, that are from the US.
And if you look at the Chinese import of silver in the last couple of months, it just exploded upwards.
As a matter of fact, I believe Bloomberg has compiled a chart showing us that the Chinese import of silver went up beyond 300% in March.
So, and if we look at it, we don't have the exact data showing that silver is from the US, but if we look at the flow, we can deduce that a lot of that was probably from the COMEX.
Manufacturing Evolution00:03:51
Okay.
Yeah.
So if that's the case, then I think we're still in a symbiotic relationship, like between China and the US.
So I don't think China can completely cut off the US from its rare earths because China is importing certain critical minerals from the American continent.
Yes.
So, yeah, I don't think that's going to stop completely.
That's my position right now.
I think it's going to drag on.
It's going to grind.
Yes.
I'd like to hear that because, of course, everybody benefits with trade, right?
I mean, we have some stuff that you need.
You have some stuff that we need.
And if we can just keep the trade going, then we both benefit.
We both have our competitive advantages, and then we avoid war if we trade, right?
But I'm not sure that a lot of The high level people in our government right now really understand supply chains that well, or logistics, or manufacturing.
You know, being a real estate expert does not make you an expert in manufacturing.
In fact, wasn't it the CEO of Ford that went to visit a car factory in China and he came back and he said something like, You know, we're 20 years behind.
They have dark factories there with full automation, just robots on the floors everywhere.
And he was shocked.
It just shows you the gap that can exist there.
I think.
I just, as an American, I love my country, but I feel like we've really fallen behind on a lot of these things.
Well, you're correct, Mike.
I mean, I don't know if you know, but I have been in the contract manufacturing business for over two decades.
So I know a bit about manufacturing in China.
Yes.
I can tell you when I first started in the business, the Chinese made, they didn't have the technology to make the high end stuff.
So, they made the low end stuff.
I mean, that's unfortunately the mindset of a lot of people.
They're still stuck in the late 1990s when the Chinese made the low end stuff.
So, back then, when I visited Chinese factories, the machines that they used to make the products weren't even made in China.
So, they imported machines from Japan, Taiwan, South Korea.
And then I remember around 20 years ago, they started manufacturing their own domestic machines.
And those weren't the highest quality machines.
So, if you wanted mediocre manufactured products, you use the Chinese domestic machines to make those.
And then around 10 years ago, I started seeing China making machines, okay?
These machines that they use to manufacture other stuff.
China started making machines that were high end, that were comparable to the Japanese ones and the Taiwan made ones.
And just before I retired, I noticed that almost all machines are domestically made by China.
Like they no longer import very specialized things that they're still catching up on, but mostly they are now using Chinese domestic manufactured machines and, like you just mentioned, robots.
To manufacture their products.
So, China, you know, there's a lot of hate on China.
People criticize China a lot, but China changes very rapidly.
Naval Escalation Risks00:13:51
Yeah.
Well, and one of those areas that you mentioned is UV lithography for microchip fabrication, right?
So, that was something where the West thought they could strangle China forever.
And, you know, it worked for a few years, but now China is developing its own lithography.
In fact, I think with like two nanometer technology, That will be commercialized, I've read within less than two years or less.
So it's almost like, you know, Chinese people, if you don't mind me saying, because I, you know, I lived in Taiwan for two years.
I have great respect for the innovation, you know, the dedication, the studiousness of Chinese people.
If you say they can't have something, they will figure out how to make it themselves.
And it's exactly what the West has forced China to do when it comes to lithography, isn't it?
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, it's a story about how China's space program came about.
I read that basically what happened is China used to use the US GPS system for the navigation.
And then a couple of decades ago, they were transporting oil, crude oil.
I guess it was with a sanctioned country, possibly Iran.
And the US saw that and they just shut it off for the Chinese vessel.
And that vessel was just stuck in the open ocean for over a month.
So the Chinese government determined at that point that they need to have their own satellite network.
And look at where China is right now with their own satellite network.
If, let's say, China doesn't have that, then they're sitting ducks.
Like modern warfare is totally dependent on a comprehensive satellite network.
To allow you to see what's going on on the ground.
So, anyway.
100%.
I mean, that would be worse than being cut off from the swift financial system, would be cutting off from a GPS if that's what you're relying on.
Now, I want to ask you I mentioned I lived in Taiwan, and that was decades ago.
And when I lived there, most of the people I knew at the time were fiercely pro independence, like DPP party type of people.
But what we've seen recently.
Is, what's her name?
Zheng Liwen.
She visited with President Xi of China.
And she's, of course, with the Kuomintang.
And they had a conversation about unification, peaceful, peaceful.
My question to you, sir, is that Taiwan has realized, in my opinion, that relying on the West for its protection and its energy and its trade was a horrible mistake because Trump tariffed Taiwan.
And Taiwan's running out of natural gas, and the naval projection power of the United States in the Taiwan Strait, et cetera, in the West Pacific, has been shown by Iran to be, you know, a paper tiger.
So, my question to you, Eric, is I've come to believe that Taiwan will actually be stronger with mainland China.
What is your thought on this?
And I don't mean to make it all political, but, you know, you're there, and your opinion.
Matters.
So, what do you think about all this?
I absolutely agree with you, Mike.
My family has a lot of ties with Taiwan.
I have uncles.
My father was a military officer in Taiwan, a medical officer.
And back in the day, when talking about mainland China, they basically, the logic within the officer corps in Taiwan is that if they do not possess a nuclear weapon, there's no way of stopping a mainland Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
And as a matter of fact, in the 1980s, Taiwan had a nuclear weapons program and they almost had a functioning nuclear weapons.
A weapon, sorry.
Wow, I did not know that.
They had that, but the CIA stopped it.
So the CIA found out and they stopped that.
They actually came in and forced the Taiwanese government to dismantle its nuclear weapons program.
Wow.
So that was under.
I believe Reagan and George Bush.
So, like the senior George Bush.
So, basically, whatever hope that Taiwan had for independence, that was it.
It's over when that happened.
And I think there's a huge population in Taiwan who identify themselves as Chinese, okay, not Taiwanese.
I mean, yeah, of course, there are people in Taiwan who identify themselves as Chinese.
Separate entity from the ethnic Chinese, but there's also a huge population in Taiwan who identify themselves as Chinese.
So I think going forward, having a good relationship with mainland China is probably the way to go.
And that path will, I believe, bring, like you said, prosperity and peace to the region.
So I think the KMT is doing the right thing.
That's my conclusion.
Yeah, and the fact that they're pursuing a peaceful dialogue is really, really critical.
Because one of the things that I don't want to see as a fan of the people of Taiwan, I don't want to see the West do to Taiwan what it did to Ukraine, sacrificing a generation of young men as a proxy to try to destroy Russia, right?
But I can see the West trying to do the same thing to weaken China, but it would fail, obviously.
But they would sacrifice.
Taiwan.
I don't want to see that happen.
And you're right.
Most of the people that I knew when I lived there, especially the older generation, they had parents or grandparents still living in mainland China.
They would visit mainland China to visit their relatives frequently back and forth.
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, a lot of people in Taiwan have ties with Fujian.
They speak the same dialect.
That's right.
The Fujianese, right?
And a lot of people don't know.
Taiwan is not just the main island, it has the main island and a lot of small islands.
And the closest small island that is under Taiwanese jurisdiction is only two or three kilometers away from mainland China.
That's how close they are.
Yes.
Like a lot of Americans don't know that.
They think it was really far away.
It's not.
It's really close to mainland China.
So, yeah, I mean, I see a peaceful reunification of Taiwan and China.
And I believe that's what China wants.
I agree with you.
I actually think that Trump, the last year that he's had in office, has made that reunification much more likely.
Than before on peaceful terms.
I think, I mean, think about it.
Trump punished Taiwan with really harsh tariffs and also then I think used Section 301 trade sanctions against Taiwan, claiming that Taiwan was over manufacturing and thus was unfairly flooding the world with its product output.
Like, who comes up with this stuff?
You know?
But that's what Trump is doing.
It's like you treat your friends like dirt, you know?
Crazy.
I mean, look, Mike, Taiwan is undefendable.
Iran showed us.
With its physical proximity to mainland China, all China needs to do is to swamp Taiwan with a lot of drones and it's game over.
I mean, before the Iran US war, it's a debate, it's an intellectual debate.
Now, Iran showed us that there's no debate.
It's the new reality of modern warfare.
So, how much do you think that the people in Beijing?
Are they paying attention to what you just said there?
Are they recalibrating their understanding of American naval strength now?
Absolutely, because I see China cranking out more.
Carriers for drones.
Instead, while they're still building naval carriers for traditional aircrafts, but they're also pumping out a lot of naval carriers for drones, which I believe is what they need for the next generation of modern warfare.
Which, like I said, Iran showed us, right?
Like drones are going to rule the air.
The earth and the sea.
That's it.
Yeah, yeah, clearly.
And also, what we're seeing right now is the U.S. Navy is afraid to approach the shoreline of southern Iran within even hundreds of kilometers because of the shore missile batteries that Iran has.
And I'm certain China has more than Iran, undoubtedly.
You know, it's a matter of fact, the recent boarding of the Iranian vessel.
By the US Navy is done from Indocom.
It's not even like they had to do it all the way at the Indian Ocean.
Yeah, right.
So, yeah.
They won't get close.
They're afraid to get close because they're being outranged by the land missiles.
So, let me ask you this what do you suppose China will do if the US begins really boarding and pirating vessels with oil headed for China?
So, yeah, like, I mean, the situation is changing on a daily basis.
Not even daily, it's like minute by minute.
There are new updates coming out from different media sources.
And I read, like you said, that the US announced that they're going to do global boarding of ships that they deem undesirable, like Iranian oil carriers.
To China or tankers, whatever you call it.
So I think China eventually is going to have to do military escorts, like naval escorts of these ships.
It's just good.
Like, you can't do it globally.
It doesn't make any sense.
If you're doing it in the South China Sea, is China just going to sit there and watch you guys, watch the American Navy confiscate all these oil tankers?
It just doesn't make any sense.
In the Persian Gulf, or near the Persian Gulf, yes, it.
You know, I see China not aggressively getting into the mix.
That kind of makes sense.
But globally, I don't know.
Yeah.
So that's very interesting that you say that because if China begins to escort the tankers, then number one, that somewhat increases the cost of energy transport because of that, you know, the additional military cost.
But I'm thinking more in a more concerning way that then it entices.
Maybe a haywire US naval vessel to attack a Chinese vessel, and I could see even accidental escalation happening if that were the case.
Do you see that as a risk as well?
Possibly?
Well, I see the Americans probably backing off in that scenario.
That's just maybe I'm a little bit more optimistic there, but I think the problem, like you're right, I think it's a cost issue.
Even with the situation right now, I don't think the US is capturing 100% of the Iranian shadow fleet or the dark fleet, whatever you call it, coming out.
It's probably 10, 20%.
Correct.
But if you're doing business and you lose 20% of your product, I mean, that's a significant hit.
So, in a way, they are sort of effective, right?
Like, I'm not, I mean, I said on my X account that the Arabian Sea is huge and they're not going to be able to intercept every single.
Uh, dark fleet vessel, which, like, I just reiterated, I think that's what's happening.
But, like I said, even if they do 10%, it's a big problem.
So, that's why I guess Iran is complaining or voicing out that the U.S. must stop the blockade.
So, that's my logic there.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
That makes perfect sense.
Open Source Hardware00:06:03
Now, um, let me ask you I think I've seen you post about the fact that you also have discussions on China based social media as well.
And, yes.
I'm curious, can you tell us, because of course my audience is mostly American, but international people as well who speak English, but what is the overall kind of consensus conversation from the Chinese people about what Trump is doing and the war on Iran right now?
Okay, so I'll give you like in China, the social media, you have to use your real name and your real phone number to register.
So, like, there are no like, I mean, there might be burner accounts, but they are very few and fine between.
Like, usually it's a real person behind the trolling.
So the trolling ratio is very low.
I'm going to give you like some numbers, right?
Okay.
So, like, my X account, I block on a bad day, I block around 30, 50 people a day.
I mean, a lot of them are just like boss, right?
On a bad day.
On a good day, I blocked maybe within 10.
So I blocked in total since 2020 around 3,000 people, like less than that.
But that's still, in terms of X, it's still a low number because there are around 400 million active users on X.
Yes.
But it's still around 2,000, 3,000.
On Redlux, when I had that account, I had around 60,000 followers.
I blocked five people in total.
That's it.
Like from since the beginning of my five.
I mean, so that's like, anyway.
So in China, and these are all real people, right?
90% of the people that I talk to realize what's going on in the Middle East, even though information is very sporadic.
And they don't get the most up to date information a lot of the times.
Like, they understand what's going on a lot more because I think, in a way, China, like with this Middle Eastern war, they're not in it.
So they're looking, like the Chinese citizens, they're looking at the situation a lot more impartially than, let's say, the mega crowd in America.
Like, those guys are really invested in Donald Trump.
That you tell them that paints Donald Trump in a even slightly negative light, they would jump on your ex post or whatever to troll you.
Yeah.
That's what I said.
Yeah.
That's true.
Okay.
Very interesting.
Good to know.
And I have at least just one more important area to ask you about.
And I want to be respectful of your time.
Are you okay for like five more minutes?
I'm okay.
Yeah.
I'm okay.
Great.
I'm really enjoying this conversation.
So thank you again for your time.
Let's talk about AI because I'm a big fan of open source AI.
I'm an AI developer.
I've developed numerous platforms that are very popular.
And I love the open source models that come out of China.
DeepSeq is supposed to be releasing version four soon.
Quen from Alibaba is well known.
In fact, I just downloaded Quen 3.6, and they have really great coding models, et cetera.
US AI companies have gone more kind of closed, secretive, like.
Let's do contracts with the government and not really like Anthropic is taking away cloud code from most of its customers right now, things like that.
So I see this weird thing happening where China is still open source.
Let's put it out there for free, put it on GitHub, and it's good.
It's good stuff.
It's not like subpar tech.
But then the US AI companies are all, they're not publishing the science papers.
The best science papers are coming out of DeepSeq, like sparse attention papers, manifold constrained hyperconnections, all this kind of stuff.
What's going on, Eric?
Can you make sense of that?
Yeah, absolutely.
I think because the Chinese hardware for AI is a little bit behind the US, as you mentioned, right?
Because China is still trying to develop the machines that enable them to make high end chips or integrated circuits that allow them to make the powerful.
Hardware that allows them to run these powerful AI.
So I think China understands what is lacking and is going a different route compared to its US counterparts by doing this open source so that what it lacks on the hardware side, potentially it might do even better than the Americans on the software side by.
Like again, open source, allowing people who really know what's going on, who can contribute to the ecosystem to improve their software, at the same time, allow the software to be used by as many people as possible.
And as we know, technology is all about usability, right?
So the more people use it, the better it gets.
So that's the direction that I think China is going.
In this jump, because of the, you know, like I said, the hardware situation.
Gold and Silver Prices00:03:07
Well, that makes perfect sense.
And there's a lot of innovation that can take place in software alone and in, you know, pre training and things like that.
So we're all very interested in the DeepSeq version 4 release.
But let me ask you a follow up to that, which is the cultural acceptance of AI.
My understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding is that in China, at least in the cities, in the, you know, the active, younger, working, Entrepreneurs and so on, they embrace AI.
They love it.
They use it.
They integrate it.
In America, what I run into, especially among conservatives and especially Christians, is just fear of AI or rejection of AI or, you know, like it's the devil and stuff like that.
There's a very big cultural difference.
Do you see that as well?
I do because, I mean, there's a term called AI slop.
Okay.
Yeah.
And in America, I see the more conservative older crowd always use that term.
I never see it in China.
Oh, really?
So, there you go.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I don't even know what that term would be in Chinese, by the way.
They don't have one, exactly.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, they don't have one.
Okay.
Well, that's very interesting.
All right.
Let me give out your handle one more time.
It's KingKong9888.
And that's on X. Is there anything else you want to mention here, Eric, before we wrap this up?
Well, I think, Michael, just before I leave, I think.
I want to tell your audience that given the geopolitical situation that we're in, and that the entire world is in the process of.
I don't like to use that term all the time, but I guess I have to: de-dollarization.
Or, like, you know, countries just shifting away from US Treasury bonds because of the enormous debt that the US carries.
This process is just going to accelerate with the situation in the Middle East.
Therefore, I always advise my audience to buy some physical gold and silver.
I know that.
You know, the prices for physical gold and silver may dump a bit if a liquidity squeeze, US dollar liquidity squeeze happens, which is likely.
If, let's say, Donald Trump decides to put boots on the ground in Iran, we can see that because that means that the war is not going to end very quickly and the revenue disruptions for these GCC countries is going to intensify.
Therefore, they might have to sell US Treasury bonds and anything that they have their hands on that is liquid.
And that might affect gold and silver prices.
But even then, I tell my audience to just dollar cost average and buy physical gold and silver to protect themselves in the long run.

You and I have the same message.
I say the same thing.
It's the best insurance against currency devaluation, which obviously is happening even more rapidly.
Now, with the dollar, I think that's great advice, Eric.
Completely agree with you.
And everybody that stacked gold and silver has been very happy about it where it is now compared to, you know, even two years ago.
So that's great advice.
Thank you so much.
With that, I'll wrap it up unless you have anything else to add.
Is that it?
I'm all good, Mike.
Thank you again for inviting me to your show.
Thank you so much, Eric.
It's been an honor having you on.
Please do not disconnect.
Because it has to finish uploading your side.
But let me just wrap it up for the audience and I'll stop the recording.
Thank you all for listening.

We now have vitamin D3 plus K2 plus Aquaman, which is a seaweed calcium available at healthrangerstore.com.
Here, I've got it up on my site here.
This is the Groovy B brand that we have, which is our in house brand, healthrangerstore.com.
Again, vitamin D3 plus K2 with Aquaman.
That's the brand of the seaweed calcium in a capsule format.
Of course, it's laboratory tested for heavy metals and glyphosate and microbiology and so much more.
And it's a Certified ingredients, of course, and you know, everything that we build for you in terms of a product is meticulously sourced.
And one of the most difficult products to source is actually vitamin D3, it's extremely difficult because it turns out in the supply chain, almost all vitamin D has a bunch of sort of unnamed ingredients in it, and that's what our sourcing people found.
Uh, after a couple of years of trying to source a clean version of vitamin D3 that we finally found and nailed and put it in the formula.
And did all the lab testing and certification.
So now it's available.
So, this synergistic combination, if you think about natural bone support, for example, or you think about the fact that so many people may not have sufficient levels of vitamin D for just optimal health and immune support and many other reasons to have vitamin D levels, this product can help you supplement that.
And so, it's available now at healthrangerstore.com, vitamin D3 plus K2 with Aquaman.
60 capsules available, shipping right now while supplies last.
And in this environment where global supply chains are getting wrecked, you know, if this is something you want, get it now while we have supplies because it's becoming more difficult and more expensive to source literally everything at this point.
So, anyway, thank you for your support.
You can also find many other products, of course, hundreds of different products at healthrangerstore.com, including storable food.
And right here we have our organic powdered.
Powdered chicken bone broth in a number 10 can, our turmeric root powder, and so much more.
We've got so many amazing products for you to choose from, including tinctures, superfoods, storable foods, as well as freeze dried fruits and vegetables in sealed number 10 cans.
That's great for long term storage.
Plus, we have iodine, and that's a product that's moving very quickly because of concerns about global nuclear war, unfortunately.
But you can find all of this, it's all laboratory tested, it's all certified, it's all meticulously sourced.
At healthrangerstore.com.
And yeah, there we go.
That's what the vitamin D3 looks like there.
