	All right, welcome folks to Brightam Broadcast News for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.
	I'm Mike Adams and as always, thank you for joining me today.
	Okay, okay.
	A lot of geopolitical developments are taking place right now that are going to rock the world.
	Let me mute the Bright Learn book generator right there.
	People are using the Brightlearn.ai book engine in just huge, huge numbers.
	That's what's happening right now.
	Let me just give you a brief update.
	283 books have now been published there at books.brightlearn.ai 14,000 reads of the books and 24,000 downloads.
	And we've got incredible new books from our users like Glow, the 90-day red light revolution.
	And I've published three books today, and I'm going to go through a couple of those that are really critical to our discussion here.
	And the first one is called Terawatt Tantrums, how America already lost the AI race and is 15 years behind China on power infrastructure.
	I'll be getting to that special report here shortly.
	So yes, I've got a report and a book on that same subject.
	And then also, I published a book called The Imperial Liquidation, How America's Exorbitant Privilege Collapsed and Who Now Holds the Deed.
	And it's got a photo on the cover of the Statue of Liberty in gold crying tears of gold.
	I mean, wow, the symbolism is just off the charts.
	Oh my goodness.
	Some of this book cover art is blowing my mind.
	I'll show you that cover.
	Actually, here, let me show you to you right now.
	Wow, you see that cover right there?
	Oh my goodness.
	Gold, Statue of Liberty.
	You see Washington, D.C. underwater, you know, literally and figuratively.
	It's, wow, Russia and China there holding the cards and Brazil talks about Brazil, talks about the BRICS nations.
	So we're going to be talking about that book.
	Well, that topic a little bit.
	But our main topic today is actually about terawatt tantrums.
	And so I'm actually just going to run that special report right now because it's detailed and it's critical to understand this.
	So here we go.
	All right, welcome to this special report that I call terawatt tantrums.
	I'm Mike Adams, the health ranger, but today this is not about health.
	This is about the power grid.
	And earlier this year in July, I sounded the alarm over how far behind China the United States has become in terms of its aggregate power generation.
	And at the time, looking at late 2023 numbers, I mentioned that the U.S. currently only generates about 4,400 terawatt hours per year.
	Now, that number may be a little bit higher because that was late 2023.
	Whereas China, at the same time, was already generating over 10,000 terawatt hours.
	So not only is China generating more than twice the aggregate power of the United States, but on average, China's electricity costs are 40% cheaper than the United States.
	These are critical issues when it comes to powering AI data centers, obviously.
	Electricity is the single biggest factor that goes into them.
	I mean, after you've built the building and assuming you have the GPUs, which we do, I mean, we can make them through NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor, etc.
	But we don't have the power to fire up all these data centers.
	And there are right now, there are data centers in America that have been built or are near completion that have no power connections.
	Some of them are sitting empty, hundreds of thousands of GPUs.
	In fact, Microsoft admitted this.
	One of their top executives, maybe it was their CEO, said they've got hundreds of thousands of GPUs sitting there with no power.
	So they bought the GPUs from NVIDIA, but they don't have the power.
	So I began to ask the question earlier this summer, how long would it take the United States to catch up to China?
	Or even actually, even let's say something more moderate.
	How long would it take the United States to add 1,000 terawatt hours of aggregate power generation to our power grid?
	Of course, we have three power grids.
	We have the East, the West, and Texas.
	And the East grid is already at max.
	It can't handle any more data centers at all.
	If you build a data center in any of those 13 states, including Virginia, you have to bring your own power.
	That's right.
	You have to build a power plant or a nuclear plant before you can fire up the data center.
	That's how bad it is.
	They don't have that problem in China.
	But even in the Western power grid, things are getting tight.
	And in Texas, there's all these announcements of these companies.
	They're going to build massive data centers in Texas, including Google and microchip factories and so on.
	Well, where's that power going to come from?
	Because the Texas power grid just a few years ago suffered rolling blackouts.
	I remember because I lived through that.
	That was a very, very cold day in the winter of, I think, 2021.
	And we had eight minutes of power every 30 minutes.
	Yeah.
	Imagine that.
	And some people had no power for weeks and the entire Texas power grid just about created.
	The only way they kept it alive was by having major rolling blackouts across the state.
	So where's all this new power going to come from?
	Because Trump has a vision for America.
	We're going to be reindustrialized.
	We're going to be the AI powerhouse of the world, he says.
	They launched a new program.
	It's some new national program for making us the AI leaders.
	And he's got all these bigwigs around the world announcing investment in manufacturing in America and in AI technology.
	Everybody from Oracle to SoftBank and Taiwan Semiconductor, etc.
	That all sounds great at the press conference.
	But where's the power coming from?
	Seriously, where's the power coming from?
	I did a podcast maybe a month ago where I said you can print currency, but you can't print terawatt hours.
	And that's true.
	You know, the United States can generate or counterfeit currency, but you can't print electricity.
	You actually have to generate it.
	And just announcing things doesn't create electricity.
	It turns out for some reason the electrons are not swayed by the White House press secretary.
	So I conducted some research.
	And of course, I use AI to help me with the research, as any intelligent person would do today.
	But I was trying to determine an answer to this question.
	Given that right now we generate in America 4,400 terawatt hours annually, how long would it take the U.S. to build out the infrastructure to add just 1,000 terawatt hours to that number so that we would be generating, let's say, 5,400 terawatt hours.
	Okay?
	Now, in order to do that, now remember that's an annual number.
	It's terawatt hours.
	And in order to get that number, you need to understand how many hours there are in a year.
	Okay.
	So don't confuse that with somebody saying, hey, we're going to build a one gigawatt data center.
	Well, that's a gigawatt right now.
	That's a gigawatt of power bandwidth.
	You have to multiply the one gigawatt times the number of hours that there are in a year in order to get how much power that would use in one year.
	So it turns out that there are 8,760 hours in most years, but not all years, because of leap years.
	Of course, of course, it's not always the same number, but it's roughly 8,760 hours.
	So if you have a one gigawatt data center, and I'm not going to make the math difficult here, so don't worry.
	If you have a one gigawatt data center, you need, you know, 8,760 gigawatt hours of power, correct?
	So that is 8.7 terawatt hours.
	Got it?
	Okay, so 8.7 terawatt hours is what a one gigawatt data center would consume in a full year, assuming it's running every day and it's not a leap year.
	Now, Elon Musk brags about building a one gigawatt data center.
	I don't know if it's online yet, I doubt it, but it's coming online probably early next year.
	And there are many other tech companies that are taking all this stock valuation money, which is at insane levels because of the stock bubble.
	But they're taking that money and they're using it to build data centers.
	But then the question is, well, who's building the power infrastructure to power those data centers?
	So in order to answer that question, we need to look at the current state of power in the United States.
	And this is going to impact you.
	This is absolutely going to impact your life.
	So this is not some esoteric conversation.
	This is a big deal.
	And this is why China is probably going to win the AI race here, but we'll get to that.
	So right now, there are 94 nuclear reactors in the United States operating across 54 power plants.
	Okay.
	But it's 94 reactors.
	At least this is according to the AI research.
	Currently, it's 97 gigawatts of generating capacity.
	They generated 782 terawatt hours in 2024, which is about 18% of U.S. electricity.
	So as you can see, if you are looking at the numbers, those nuclear power plants are not running anywhere near 100% capacity because they have maintenance, they have downtime, etc.
	The average nuclear power plant reactor lasts 43 or 44 years.
	Now, here's the thing.
	About a quarter of the enriched uranium that runs these nuclear power plants comes from Russia.
	Russia is the largest global supplier of enriched uranium for nuclear power.
	They currently control 44% of the global uranium enrichment capacity.
	And just in 2023, the United States, through the nuclear industry companies, spent $800 million with Russia to buy uranium, to power the nuclear power plants.
	Yep.
	So if we see, you know how Trump and the U.S., they like to have a lot of economic sanctions placed on Russia?
	Well, there's a waiver on uranium.
	And that waiver is good through January 1 of 2028.
	Yeah.
	I wonder why there's a waiver.
	Yeah, because we would be screwed without Russian uranium.
	So in 2024, imports of uranium from Russia dropped to about half of what it was in 2023.
	So there are efforts to try to reduce dependence on Russian uranium.
	But here's the problem.
	The U.S. has almost no mining and refining capability of uranium domestically.
	It's not much.
	I mean, it's a little bit.
	Let's see.
	In 2024, the U.S. mined 677,000 pounds of uranium oxide here.
	That's it.
	Not even a million pounds.
	Okay.
	There are efforts to try to increase this.
	And currently there are some U.S. reserves of uranium.
	It's about 1,200 million pounds of reserves.
	But again, we are only mining less than a million pounds a year right now.
	So if we go through those reserves, then we don't really have a way to replace them domestically.
	There's only one facility in the United States that transforms uranium oxide into uranium hexafluoride, which is the form used for enrichment.
	That's the Honeywell Metropolis Works in Illinois.
	It's the only facility.
	That's it.
	It can process up to 15,000 metric tons of uranium each year.
	It was restarted in 2023, and it can't keep up with demand.
	Okay, so again, it's only one facility.
	If that facility, if something happens to it, then we're toast.
	We can't produce domestic uranium for the nuclear power plants.
	Now, that's just the conversion into hexafluoride.
	After conversion, you have to go through an enrichment step.
	So in terms of enrichment, there are at least four facilities in the United States that are either operating or beginning to, or under construction to start operating.
	One of them in Tennessee, for example, is going to come online sometime in the 2030s.
	Yeah.
	Let's see.
	There's a company called Urenco that has a good capacity right now for enrichment, although this is the big bottleneck right here.
	The U.S., in order to support a tripling of the current nuclear industry to bring us up to around 300 gigawatts of power, then we need a 10 times increase from the current domestic capacity of enrichment.
	In other words, currently we're only able to enrich one-tenth of what we would need to add just 300 gigawatts of nuclear capacity.
	You got that?
	And experience tells us that in the U.S., we're not very good at building nuclear power plants.
	Even Honeywell has had these massive problems as well.
	There was a big failure in a nuclear power plant construction in a place called Vodal.
	I think that's how you pronounce it.
	V-O-G-T-L-E, I think this was a Honeywell plant.
	It was estimated to cost $14 billion and to take four years.
	But it ended up costing $35 billion and it took 14 years.
	And the cost per kilowatt doubled by the time it was actually done.
	So massive cost overruns, bad engineering, supply chain problems, problems with the workforce, didn't have experienced workers.
	Also, Westinghouse went bankrupt in 2017.
	So yeah, there's the bankruptcy issue.
	All right.
	So China learned from that as well.
	China, of course, has a lot of innovation in the energy space.
	And they have a program, kind of like the AP1000 nuclear power plant from Honeywell.
	But their series, which is called the, what is it, the Sanmenhaiyang, it takes them about nine years to build a power plant instead of 14.
	They have a 48% reduction, therefore, in construction duration, it says here.
	And of course, they have a much more educated domestic workforce to be able to run the nuclear power plants successfully.
	So anyway, to kind of get to the answer here, according to the math, which takes into account the efficiencies and the downtime and the capacity, the generation of all these nuclear power plants,
	in order for the United States to add 1,000 terawatt hours per year of power production, we would need to build 113 nuclear reactors of the AP1000 type.
	Okay?
	113 reactors.
	The problem is the requirement of uranium and conversion services and enrichment, none of those are available in the United States.
	None of those.
	So, you know, to power this additional 1,000 terawatt hours, we would need close to 30,000 metric tons of uranium oxide.
	We would need massive amounts enrichment.
	It's seeing 7.5 million SWU per year.
	I don't even know what unit that is, SWU, some kind of enrichment unit.
	In any case, the cost of doing, just building the nuclear power plants to do that in the United States, about $1.9 trillion.
	$1.9 trillion to build that.
	And there's nowhere near that investment taking place.
	In addition, the timeline.
	According to some basic reasoning on this, we could have, by the year 2030, we could have maybe 5 to 10 gigawatts of nuclear power under construction, not operating, but under construction while we work to expand the conversion of uranium oxide.
	In the second phase of this plan, we could have 35 gigawatts online by 2035.
	And by the year 2040, we could have maybe 60 to 80 gigawatts online.
	And then in phase three with all the supply chains and all the mining and all the conversion and enrichment and everything else, domestic fuel supply chains all in place, we could have the 125 gigawatts of nuclear power online by the year 2055.
	And by 2055 then, we would raise our power generation domestically from 4,400 terawatt hours to 5,400 terawatt hours.
	Got it?
	That's by 2055.
	Where do you think China is going to be by 2055?
	Yeah, right.
	So China's already at over 10,000 terawatt hours.
	By 2055, are you kidding me?
	They'll probably be way beyond 20,000 terawatt hours and the U.S. will still be at 5,000 terawatt hours.
	So in other words, there is no actual practical way for the U.S. to compete with China on energy production using nuclear power.
	That's for sure.
	Can't do it with nuclear until the year 2055.
	And again, that's just a fraction of what China already produces.
	You can't just scale up hydro because where are you going to build giant dams and how long does that take?
	It's difficult to scale wind and solar because of manufacturing costs, installation, long range power transmission issues, and also wind turbine failure rates are very high.
	And solar panels are vulnerable to hail storms.
	And also night.
	Yeah, you know, when the sun's not shining.
	So unless you want to have data centers that only operate for about six hours a day when the sun is shining more directly overhead, then you can't power data centers with solar.
	And you can't power them with wind for the same reason because wind is also not reliable.
	Sometimes the wind blows and oh, then you can have your super intelligence.
	Sometimes the wind doesn't blow, then it's all shut down, you see?
	So then what?
	What do you do?
	You could burn natural gas, but there'll be all kinds of resistance from Democrats and the climate alarmists and so on screaming about carbon dioxide.
	Can't burn coal for a similar reason, plus coal actually does have particulate pollution much more than natural gas.
	Can't use cold fusion because that's still suppressed by the government.
	And cold fusion hasn't been scaled up in this way.
	Cold fusion works.
	It's called low energy nuclear reactions, but it works much more slowly than fission or hot fusion.
	So cold fusion is good for heating water to heat buildings in the winter, to heat like a military base.
	It's not that great at boiling water to run electricity generating turbines.
	It's very hard to scale cold fusion in that way.
	So what else we have?
	Zero-point energy?
	That's theoretical.
	Hot fusion, yeah, that's by the year 2075, maybe they will have used enough magnets and they'll have like over-unity energy generation from hydrogen atoms or whatever.
	That's nowhere in the near future.
	So what is there?
	You could, I mean, it's America.
	You could have all the obese people ride bicycles to generate electricity and give them food stamps.
	For every kilowatt hour they generate, they get like a box of Pop-Tarts or something.
	I'm joking.
	That's crude satire.
	But we're running out of ways to generate electricity in America, aren't we?
	I mean, to generate it soon.
	And we kind of need it soon because the AI race is underway right now.
	And so that brings to mind my new book that I've just published at books.brightlearn.ai.
	Let me show you the cover.
	It's called Terawatt Tantrums.
	And as you can see from this book, from the cover anyway, it says how America already lost the AI race and is 15 years behind China on power infrastructure.
	Actually, I was being generous with that title.
	We're more than 15 years behind.
	Trying to be nice to the Trump administration.
	In reality, it's more than 20 years behind.
	But the U.S. cannot compete with China on power, which means the U.S. cannot compete with China on industry or data centers.
	Now, I mean, currently the U.S. has a lot of data centers, probably more data centers than anybody in the world, but that's going to change dramatically over the next couple of years.
	And the advantage that the U.S. has is being lost.
	It's also being lost in the realm of AI, where you have open AI, you know, Sam Altman, and that whole hot mess of a fake corporation.
	I mean, a faked mission.
	They were going to share everything with the world, and then they ended up turning it into a for-profit venture.
	Yeah.
	Giant rug pull.
	ChatGPT, their engine, it's no better than the free open source engines out of China.
	You can download free of charge right now models of DeepSeek or Quinn, actually like a 72 billion quin that will outperform ChatGPT on most things.
	And there are larger models out of China that you can download free of charge, all open source, that you can run for free and you can train on them for free.
	And they cost you nothing.
	Well, I guess that's redundant, but they are just as good as ChatGPT.
	And China not only has the foresight where they invested in energy infrastructure for the last 25 years, but the Chinese government is also investing in AI, AI development.
	China has five times more scientists and engineers than the United States.
	And most of the best engineers in the U.S. right now working for Google or Microsoft or Amazon, they're Chinese, folks.
	They're Chinese.
	They speak Chinese in the AI meetings in the tech companies.
	In fact, if you join a tech company as an AI engineer and you don't speak Chinese, you may not know what's happening in the meeting.
	Yeah, seriously.
	And I don't even speak enough Chinese to know all the special terms of AI.
	I would probably be lost in those meetings who would have to learn a lot of new words.
	But almost all of the innovation that's happening in the world right now in the space of AI is happening in Chinese-speaking groups.
	Now, granted, there's still great innovation in France with the Meestral Group or Mistral, some people say.
	And their engines are phenomenal.
	And they just released Version 3 of everything, I think, like Maestral Large 3, Meestral Medium 3, Meestral Mini 3, etc.
	And those are great engines.
	Don't get me wrong, they're great.
	But ChatGPT isn't releasing open source anymore.
	Meta isn't releasing open source.
	Google isn't.
	It's all coming out of China.
	And the Chinese models are rapidly surpassing anything that's happening in the USA.
	So think about it, folks.
	China has better, or let's say, comparable AI technology right now, more engineers by far, way more power by far, way more manufacturing capacity, also by far.
	It's not even close.
	The only thing China lacks is access to the same microchips.
	But they're solving that problem too because they are building their own UV lithography equipment so they can domestically manufacture their own microchips to ultimately compete with Taiwan Semiconductor and to compete with Samsung and NVIDIA and the other large chip makers.
	It's going to take a few years, but China will get there and China will surpass all those chip makers.
	Because China, again, they have foresight.
	They've got really smart people.
	They've got the infrastructure that can just rock this whole project.
	Okay.
	So meanwhile, by the year 2055, the U.S. might add a little bit more to our power.
	Yeah.
	And that's only if the dollar doesn't collapse before then, by the way, which, of course, it will.
	I mean, the U.S. Empire is just about done.
	According to my research, it's going to take 15 to 20 years just to achieve a 100% domestic nuclear supply chain for the nuclear fuel.
	I mean, so you can count on that by, you know, 2045, let's say.
	And then 25 to 35 years to build the actual power plants.
	Yeah.
	And remember, that's over 100 nuclear power plants that would be required.
	What's the actual number here?
	What did it say?
	Here it is: 113 AP1000 nuclear reactors.
	So out of the 113 reactors that we need to add just 1,000 terawatt hours annually, how many are we planning to build?
	How many has Trump announced that we're going to build?
	Anybody?
	Anybody?
	Bueller?
	Anyone?
	The answer is 10.
	10.
	So Trump is talking about and, of course, bragging about we're going to build 10 nuclear power plants.
	Not 100, but 10.
	10 is going to add what, roughly than 100 terawatt hours annually, roughly.
	100.
	That would take us from 4,400 to 4,500.
	Ooh, big whoop-de-doo, as we used to say.
	Yeah, whoop, whoop-de-doo is actually, that's in the Scrabble dictionary for those of you who are word sleuths.
	Whoop-de-doo.
	Yeah, it means there's no big deal.
	Who cares?
	You haven't done much.
	You build 10 nuclear power plants in America and it's a joke.
	China laughs in your face while they roll out a new mega damn project in northern China that's going to add, I don't even know, what was it?
	Like 300 gigawatts or something is massive.
	And then on top of that, they signed a deal with Russia to bring in 50 billion cubic meters of Russian gas from the Yamal gas fields in northwestern Russia through a new pipeline called, what is it?
	Yamal Power 2 or something.
	And that's going to cut right through Mongolia.
	And it's going to bring cheap Russian gas into China's northern cities.
	some of the industrial areas there.
	So China will actually have gas for power, as well as cheaper nuclear infrastructure for power.
	China is also huge on solar, by the way.
	You may not know that, but they have massive solar deployment right now, even larger than the United States.
	So in the race for electricity, China is leading the entire world.
	The race is over.
	And that's what I'm saying in my book, Terawatt Tantrums.
	It's already done.
	America already lost the AI race.
	And we can't catch up because we can't generate the power.
	Now, the EU can't compete.
	I mean, the EU has become a joke.
	Collapsing nations and the EU just voted to cut off all energy from Russia by early 2027.
	Yeah.
	They're going to cut themselves off completely from Russian energy because, you know, EU leadership, they're running a suicide cult there.
	They want to starve to death and freeze to death in the coming winters.
	They want no energy from Russia.
	And of course, they don't want any energy themselves either because, you know, that would anger the climate alarmists.
	So pretty much all of EU is, I guess, they're going to just have a policy of no energy for you.
	It's like no soup for you.
	No kilowatts for you.
	Good luck.
	Hope you have a thick sleeping bag.
	I mean, it's completely insane that Germany completely cut off from Russian energy because the U.S. bombed the Nord Stream pipelines and Germany celebrated it.
	They're like, yes, we no longer have energy.
	That's nothing to brag about.
	Morons.
	And France, you know, same thing.
	Zeb is no longer.
	I mean, a good thing they have a lot of wine in southern France because they're going to have to drink themselves through the winters coming, you know?
	Wow.
	And the British Empire is completely collapsing at this point.
	And no one will miss them, it turns out.
	No other nation in the world will miss the British Empire because half the nations were invaded by the British Empire throughout history.
	So they will be celebrating the fall.
	And, you know, the British leadership is going right along with that, committing economic suicide.
	So there you go.
	You've got Russia has massive amounts of energy.
	China has massive amounts of industry and innovation.
	The U.S. has massive amounts of debt and currency.
	Of course, China has big debt right now, too.
	China's debt to GDP ratio is pretty high.
	I think it's higher than the U.S. and Japan's is off the charts insane, of course.
	But China is growing so rapidly, they can actually grow through their debt problems.
	Whereas the U.S. is imploding and collapsing and printing like crazy and can't build the power infrastructure to actually support this whole dream of, you know, making America great again.
	You can't make America great again when the lights are out.
	That's the reality of where we are.
	And all of Trump's pronouncements and press releases and deals and plants and Whitehouse press secretary promises, none of that stuff generates gigawatts, it turns out.
	None of it.
	If you can't generate gigawatts, you're out of the game.
	So that's the hard, cold reality of where we are.
	And on top of that, the steps that would urgently need to be pursued in order to achieve domestic nuclear independence, those steps aren't being taken because we're living in a collapsed, failed, decadent empire.
	This is the last chapter.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's kind of a little bit doomsday there.
	But this is why the world is also turning away from the dollar currency.
	This is why the dollar will collapse and the U.S. Empire will collapse.
	And as I've said before, it's not actually doomsday.
	It's a necessary step.
	It's a transition that will be chaotic.
	It will be painful.
	But it's a necessary transition to what comes next, which is the rebirth of the new America or the next America.
	The spirit of America reborn out of the ashes of the collapse of the old empire and the old debt that was never sustainable.
	We actually have to see the dollar collapse and Washington, D.C. collapse before there will be any changes in our future.
	You may have noticed that no matter who you vote for, it's the same uniparty.
	No matter who you vote for, it's still run by big pharma and big tech and the CIA.
	No matter who you vote for, you still get censorship.
	You know, it doesn't matter.
	There's no reform that's going to happen from within.
	Not real reform.
	Just maybe, you know, rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, but not real reform.
	Collapse is the only reform that matters from this point forward.
	And the faster we get through collapse, the sooner we can start, you know, engineering and building a new nation that actually should be constructed on the ideals that our founding fathers had for our constitutional republic.
	Ideals that have long since been abandoned by both Democrats and Republicans and the judicial system, etc.
	And from the day, you know, Jekyll Island 1913, from the day that Congress sold out our currency to the international banker cartel of crooks, the Rockefellers and others, to form the Federal Reserve, on that day, our fate was sealed.
	The end of the empire was inevitable.
	And even though at first, you know, it was backed by gold, but then Richard Nixon, 1971, took us off the gold window, the gold standard, as it was known, that just underscored the fact that the system was one day going to completely collapse.
	And we are now very close to that day.
	So what should we do?
	We should be prepared for all of this.
	And I don't mean that we should run around with doom and gloom all the time, but we should have a practical understanding of where we are in history, you know, the fourth turning and all that.
	And we should understand there's going to be a period of chaos.
	It will last many years.
	Most people will lose everything.
	Many people will not survive it.
	There will be massive asset forfeiture, the great taking, bank failures, currency failures, industry failures.
	The United States of America, as we know it today, will be transformed into something resembling a third world country, which certain areas already look like that, you know, such as Chicago, let's say.
	It's going to get way worse before it gets better.
	But then on the other side, those of us, you and I, who have innovation, who have determination, knowledge, assets, and technology, we can rebuild a new nation out of the ashes.
	And my intention is to help you survive and thrive and protect your assets until we get to that day so that together we can build a new nation together.
	It's going to take all of us, that is all of us who are, you know, remaining, the remnant of America, because there will be a mass die-off, obviously.
	But those of us who make it through, we can rebuild a great future, you know, the next America, whatever that looks like.
	Let's not recreate the United States Congress.
	That doesn't make any sense.
	Actually, what we need is AI representing us in the Senate.
	Every senator should be replaced with AI, and then the voters should simply vote on the prompts that the AI follows.
	So the voters set the priorities, but the AI engine, they should do the reasoning and the debates and the voting on issues representing their people honestly and truthfully.
	And every parameter of that AI engine should be open source, public domain.
	Every conversation of the AI would be a matter of public record.
	So no secret deals, no secret payoffs, no secret trips to Epstein Island with blackmail material on a human senator.
	None of that.
	Just open source AI engines that are far more effective and more honest and more intelligent than just about every member of the United States Congress today.
	We could replace every judge with an AI that would be more fair, more honest, less corrupt, etc.
	And incredibly fast also.
	Every court case could be decided in one day.
	It would clear out the whole court bottleneck system.
	You wouldn't have to wait years to have your day in court.
	Anyway, I'll cover all this in another podcast about the future, our AI-augmented future, how we can actually restore liberty and freedom by implementing AI in our future nation to replace the corrupt humans that brought us to this point of total destruction.
	Corrupt humans like Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, right?
	The Bushes, the neocons, Democrats and Republicans alike brought us to this point because they're corrupt.
	They're selfish.
	They're greedy.
	They're dishonest, etc.
	Oh, and don't even mention Joe Biden because he wasn't there.
	So, and he never won also.
	So anyway, you get the idea.
	In the meantime, you can use all of our AI engines free of charge at brightion.ai.
	And you can also view all of our books that are free of charge at books.brightlearn.ai.
	And you can generate your own books there if you have tokens.
	And you can get tokens from our store, HealthRangerStore.com.
	You can trade in loyalty lion points for book tokens and use that to generate books.
	And we're going to be handing out more tokens to our customers here soon, putting in a system to keep that in place.
	If you want to get prepared for everything else, let me give you two other sponsors of our podcast.
	The first one is our gold and silver sponsor, and that's Battalion Metals, co-founded by Tucker Carlson.
	And you can reach them at metalswithmike.com.
	And then secondly, is the satellite phone store at sat123.com for sat phones, obviously backup communications, solar generators for off-grid power, and Faraday bags to survive EMPs and solar flares for all your electronics, plus privacy when you're traveling, etc.
	So check all that out at sat123.com.
	You can follow more of my podcasts at brighton.com or my articles at naturalnews.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	And by the way, I want America to succeed, but I'm a realist about where we are.
	It is going to collapse.
	We will have to rebuild.
	And I'm not here to put America down.
	I'm here to help us realize where we are so that we can rebuild.
	I want America to succeed.
	But I also can see the future on our current trajectory.
	And it's not good.
	Things are going to have to change dramatically for us to have a better future together.
	So thank you for listening.
	God bless America.
	Take care.
	All right.
	Hope you enjoyed that special report.
	I know it was kind of lengthy, but I've got some other news to share with you here before we go to the final special report today.
	So China, remember how I said that out of all these major technologies, about 64 or 65 key technologies in our world, China is currently leading in 60 of them.
	And one of them in which they are falling behind or they have not yet caught up is heavy lift rocket capability.
	And that's because the U.S. dominates in that.
	And so does Russia.
	Elon Musk with SpaceX, you know, reusable rockets, that's key to achieving the economic efficiency of lifting items from the surface of the Earth into orbit with relative orbital velocity.
	Russia is very strong in that.
	And by the way, the only way the U.S. got good at that was by hiring all the Nazis from the Third Reich in World War II through what was called Operation Paperclip.
	That's where we took the Nazis and, you know, the Nazis that ran all the war crimes and created the Zyklon B gas, the gas chambers.
	They were part of IG Farben, which later was broken up into three companies, one of them being Bayer.
	Yeah, the same Bayer.
	So we took all those Nazis and then we brought them to the U.S. following World War II and we put them in charge of pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical industry, put them in charge of ultimately the FDA, put them in charge of NASA.
	NASA has been dominated by Nazis since the end of World War II.
	I mean, since its inception, I should say, following World War II.
	So if you're wondering who's really behind a lot of what's going on in the United States, it is the Third Reich.
	And that's why my late friend Jim Mars, he wrote a book called The Fourth Reich, which describes, you know, the globalist control grid today, including controllers in the United States.
	It's still the Nazi regime.
	Anyway, that's all another podcast, I suppose.
	But China has now just demonstrated the, I don't know, it's spelled strangely in English.
	What?
	Anyway, let's call it the DQ3.
	Although that doesn't sound like a legit Chinese word to me.
	Duk Q-3 is a methane-powered reusable rocket developed by Land Space, which is based out of Beijing.
	And it lifted off yesterday from a commercial test zone.
	It completed major flight milestones.
	It's 66 meters tall.
	That's huge.
	It's got a liftoff mass of 560 tons.
	Wow.
	It's designed to fly 20 times.
	So a reusable rocket.
	It's going to be capable of carrying 18 tons into low Earth orbit while returning its first stage for reuse.
	So that's going to, of course, reduce the cost significantly.
	It's powered by nine methane engines in the first stage and then a single engine in its second stage.
	This use of methane as a fuel is also what SpaceX uses for Starship.
	And this is the first rocket that China has ever put into orbit using a reusable methane-powered vehicle.
	Okay.
	It didn't land well, by the way.
	It crashed.
	Well, it did a lot of great stuff in space.
	But then coming down, the first stage, quote, experienced an anomaly and it crashed on the landing site.
	So they're going to work on that and improve that.
	Part of learning how to do this is crashing rockets, it turns out.
	The U.S. has crashed its own share of rockets along the way.
	China appears to be doing that as well.
	Anyway, the reason this is critical for China is because they need to launch lots and lots of satellites and ultimately orbital AI platforms.
	Although China doesn't need that as much as the U.S. needs that because the U.S. has its domestic power problems that I've talked about.
	So the U.S. needs to put AI engines in orbit with solar panels to collect the sun's power and not rely on the power grid on Earth.
	Whereas China has plenty of power, so it doesn't need to put a lot of compute in orbit.
	But it needs satellites for other reasons, such as communications, national defense, surveillance, etc.
	And so China is really, it's developing this heavy lift rocket expertise.
	It'll be many years before China surpasses, let's say, the U.S. in this area, if they ever do.
	Maybe they don't.
	But they're proving that they're very capable in this area as well.
	In addition to dominating in robotics and drones and rare earth minerals and advanced material science and many, many other areas of advanced technology.
	So there you go.
	Heavy lift rockets out of China.
	And they didn't need Nazis to build them.
	Isn't that amazing?
	We needed Nazis, you know.
	The U.S. did.
	NASA, what do you think it stands for?
	The Nazi Aeronautical and Space Administration.
	That's what it means.
	In case you were wondering, China doesn't need Nazis to launch rockets.
	All right.
	All right.
	I'm going to shift gears here one more thing before we go to the final special report.
	On January 1 of 2000, gold was $289 an ounce.
	Right now, gold is over $4,200 an ounce.
	Gold has gone up by a factor of 14.7 in 25 years.
	The S ⁇ P on January 1 was 1,469.
	It's currently 6,800 plus.
	So the S ⁇ P has gone up by a factor of 4.7 25 years.
	The NASDAQ also, even though it's now 23,000, it's only gone up by a factor of 5.7.
	So if you invested lots and lots of money in the S ⁇ P 500 in January of 2000, that money would have gone up only 4.7 times.
	In the NASDAQ, 5.7 times.
	But if you had bought gold instead, it will have gone up 14.7 times.
	Gold has outperformed the markets yet again over 25 years.
	And you don't have counterparty risk if the gold is in your hands and you don't pay taxes on the gains.
	Hmm.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	You know, unless you sell it.
	At that point, I suppose you would owe a gains tax on it.
	But you can't get out of stocks without paying taxes, that's for sure.
	So once again, buying gold or silver for that matter, silver had similar gains in this entire time period.
	Buying gold and silver, even since the 1950s, has always been the best overall investment period.
	But of course, there are powerful interests or parties in society that don't want you to know about gold.
	And so they exercise a lot of censorship to prevent you from hearing about it.
	I've got a special report on this very point.
	It's called Censorship is Deployed to Protect Powerful Corrupt Interests from the Truth.
	So I'm going to end today's broadcast with that report, which is, I think, under 20 minutes.
	And I want to remind you, I also will not have an interview.
	Well, I think I won't have an interview tomorrow, but I will have one for you on Monday.
	But this has been a week with no interviews.
	Well, except for Monday.
	So enjoy the rest of the show.
	Enjoy this report on why censorship is deployed to protect powerful interests and why it's critical for us to bypass that censorship.
	In the meantime, shop with us at healthrangerstore.com to help fund our efforts to build the platforms and tools that help you bypass censorship, to help you have access to a wealth of knowledge, transformative knowledge that is censored almost everywhere else.
	And you can visit our book website at books.brightlearn.ai if you want to see an example of that.
	And while I'm talking about, let me just check.
	Oh, yeah, 287 books now exist there.
	And by the time you hear this, it's going to be over 300 books.
	So by Christmas, we'll have thousands of books available all free of charge.
	And yeah, we fixed some bugs and things, email bugs.
	And oh, you know what?
	Gosh, I forgot.
	I have a whole report about that, actually.
	I've got an update for you about BrightLearn.
	So I'm going to play that first, and then we'll play the censorship report on the other side.
	So yeah, let's just go to that right now.
	Enjoy the rest of the show.
	All right.
	Welcome to this first BrightLearn update.
	I'm Mike Adams.
	I'm the developer of BrightLearn.ai, which is a book creation tool that helps creators like you build the books you want in just minutes, completely free of charge.
	And yet the books are amazing.
	At least that's been the response so far from the tens of thousands of people who have been reading and downloading the books.
	I mean, the ones I've heard from have said they're just blown away by the quality of the writing.
	And I'll get into why that is in some upcoming editions.
	But I wanted to just say first, I'm going to be posting audio updates to this channel.
	This is the Bright Learn channel.
	And these audio updates will bring you news about new features, glitches, bugs or solutions or things that we've added, all kinds of amazing things.
	So I'm going to give you some updates today of some things that we've just added that you'll want to take advantage of, whether you are a creator or a reader or downloader of the books.
	So I also want to mention that I'm an AI developer.
	I'm the founder of the entire universe of Brighteon platforms, including the free speech video site, Brighteon.com.
	But all those other platforms were built with teams of engineers.
	And over the last two years, I put together the Brighteon.ai AI engine, which is actually featured at brightyou.ai.
	And that engine also powers the book writing.
	I'll get to that later.
	But during that two years, I curated this massive data set of, I think, the world's most amazing collection of pro-liberty, pro-natural health, pro-decentralization, pro-human content that exists on planet Earth.
	In fact, there's no question that we've put together the best data set.
	And it's still an ongoing project.
	We are going to be adding at least 25,000 new books to the indexing probably by the end of this year.
	Oh, yeah, by Christmas, for sure.
	And then that will allow the books that you create at brightlearn.ai to be able to automatically research and cite those 25,000 other books.
	And that's in addition to the 10,000 books we already have indexed there, plus hundreds of millions of pages of content, everything from articles to transcripts and much more science papers.
	And we have many more science papers coming online, tens of millions of additional science papers eventually in 2026.
	So it's a big project, and I plan to build this out to reach 1 billion people on planet Earth with different languages, different formats.
	Books is just where we've started, but it's going to be much more than books.
	It's going to be documentaries and videos, all automated and all co-created with you, the creator.
	So you'll be able to use this extraordinary tool to create books, documentaries, videos, and audio books as well.
	In fact, we've already started some of the audio features, which I'll cover.
	But let me tell you about what's new.
	So if you go to an author page now, well, let me say this.
	If you start at books.brightlearn.ai, and if you click on any author's name, you're going to see an author page there.
	And it says books by that author.
	So if you go to my author page, it's books by Mike Adams.
	And you're going to see a link on that page that says, I am this author, and I want to edit my profile.
	So if you click on that, and if you are that person, you can edit your profile.
	And all you have to do is enter the token that you used to generate a book and your email address.
	That's basically your login.
	And then you get to add your favorite webpage.
	You get to add your Twitter profile.
	You get to add your Brightown.social username.
	And you can put in a sentence about yourself.
	And then that appears at the top of your author page.
	So this is the first time we've been able to allow authors or creators to update their own profiles like that.
	And there you go.
	You can use that right now.
	It's working.
	I used it and updated my own profile.
	So that's a brand new feature.
	In addition, we fixed a number of bugs.
	We had email delivery problems that have since been resolved.
	So people had problem downloading the PDFs and authors also were not receiving their emails after their books were finalized.
	I apologize for that.
	Delivering email is actually very complex.
	And even though we've done it successfully for a long time, it's still complex for a new domain.
	It involves a lot of DNS changes and setups and all kinds of things.
	So anyway, we believe that is resolved.
	And you should be getting your emails now for new books or for downloading PDFs.
	In addition, some users brought to us, brought to my attention, the fact that there were some JSON artifact code fragments that were showing up in some of the text of the books.
	And sure enough, that was true.
	And even though I had written the JSON extraction cleaning logic, it turns out that the AI engine, because I'm the only human on this project, by the way, everything else is AI agents.
	And one of the agents messed up and it bypassed my JSON extraction cleaning code.
	And it turned out that some JSON ended up in the text.
	Well, guess what?
	That's not a problem because I already wrote the code to fix all that, already cleaned it up, re-rendered all the books.
	It's already done.
	Re-generated all the PDFs, all the book pages, everything, and obviously made sure that the engine pays attention to that code from here forward.
	So if you saw weird JSON artifacts, and by JSON, it's just, if you're not a coder, that's just the letter J followed by S-O-N.
	And it uses braces, which are the curly brackets.
	So if you saw like curly brackets in there and you're like, what is this stuff?
	Yeah, it was JSON contamination fragments is what that was.
	We fixed it.
	If you see anything else like that, if you are someone who has a way to reach me, feel free to reach out.
	But if you can't reach me, don't worry.
	We are probably aware of the issue from other users and we are working on fixing it.
	So that's the good news.
	No matter what you see, I mean, yeah, there's going to be some glitches here and there.
	And especially as we roll out new features, they will tend to introduce new glitches.
	And again, I'm the only human developer on this.
	So I'm relying on AI to write the code and to do a good job with it and do quality control.
	And sometimes it doesn't do a great job.
	Fortunately, I have a history of being a developer, software developer.
	I do code somewhat in Python, and I use the code in PHP, by the way.
	And I have a strong background of relational database structures and data replication, you know, retry logic, fallback logic, adaptive rate limiting logic, which is very important when you're dealing with anything that is API driven.
	So all the code that I've actually written for this, again, with the help of AI, it incorporates those kinds of features like adaptive rate limiting.
	And then for some of the functions like generating a title, I've got actually not only our primary LLM set up, and I've got two backup LLMs.
	So if you're ever creating a book and it starts taking a really long time, well, rest assured that there's retry logic that is going to kick in after a few minutes, and it's going to try a different API to get the job done.
	So All that's in place, and it helps that I have a background of being a coder, and I used to own a software company.
	And so I ran teams of developers, which is really what I'm doing now, except the teams are not human, which is fine.
	They complain less, it turns out.
	They show up for work also.
	Imagine I get more done on weekends, evenings, and holidays than ever before because of AI developers.
	And if you're wondering what kind of code I'm using, yeah, it's Anthropic.
	It's Opus 4.5.
	That's what I use for all my code right now.
	I don't use Gemini.
	I don't use any Google products if I can help it.
	Google does have some useful utilities here and there, but I try to avoid Google.
	I prefer to use Anthropic and other tools.
	And then our basic underlying core engine is our open source model, our Brighteon model, which was built off another open source base model that we heavily modified and trained with not only fine-tuning training, but some other techniques, some pretty advanced techniques, actually.
	Signal to noise, ratio, identification of nodes that light up on certain things.
	And we had to mind wipe the models to get out all the pro pharma bias.
	And then we had to retrain the models with our content.
	And the result is really great.
	And so that's why the books that you create at Brightlearn.ai, that's why they're so amazing because of the two years that we put into this project before we got to this point.
	Now, in case you haven't read the terms of service or the FAQs, I do want to remind you that all the books are offered at BrightLearn.ai.
	They're all offered under a Creative Commons attribution license, which means, and I'm simplifying it, but basically you are free to use these books for commercial use as well as non-commercial use, which means, yes, you can sell these books.
	You could list them on Amazon if you want.
	See if someone wants to purchase them there, like a Kindle version.
	Or you can take the books.
	You can download the PDF.
	You can edit it, change it.
	You can add to it, whatever.
	You can create derivative works.
	And all you have to do to be compliant with our license is you simply have to credit brightlearn.ai as your original source.
	And that's it.
	How cool is that?
	So yes, you can generate books.
	You can use them as bonus items.
	If you sell something online, if you sell products or you sell a course or you have a subscription or you have a Patreon page or whatever, you want to give bonus items to your audience.
	This is the perfect way to do it.
	It's perfect.
	You just go to brightlearn.ai, you generate the books that you want and you offer them as bonus items to your audience.
	And it's great because the cover art alone is fantastic.
	Also, by the way, if you're wondering where do you get tokens to generate books, well, even though we will have a free tier opening up at some point here, the current pilot phase of this requires a token.
	And since HealthRangerStore.com, which is the store I founded, is currently paying for all the compute, you know, HealthRangerStore.com actually gave a big grant to our nonprofit, which publishes BrightLearn.ai.
	That's the Consumer Wellness Center.
	So because Health Ranger Store gave a giant grant, then HealthRanger Store customers get to be the first pilot users of this entire tool.
	And so people who purchase products at healthrangerstore.com, They were emailed tokens during the Black Friday sale.
	And you can actually get tokens through the, what's called the Loyalty Lion program on HealthRangerStore.com.
	You can trade in loyalty points that you get when you make purchases there.
	You can trade those in for book tokens.
	And then you can use those tokens to create books.
	One token means one book.
	Okay, so that's the current system.
	That's just, it's the pilot launch phase of the system.
	It's going to be opened up to a free tier pretty soon.
	Although there will be differences between the free tier versus the token tier.
	And some of those differences I'll discuss in a different podcast, actually.
	But one of the big differences is that the cover art is not as sophisticated for the free tier.
	It's a slightly lower grade cover art engine that's actually a lot less expensive because there are cost issues for us.
	You know, there's only, you know, we can't fund like unlimited burning of compute because we're not, you know, we're not Google or whatever.
	We're not Apple.
	We don't have just billions of dollars laying around.
	So we do have to be conscious about the costs of this, especially when we offer it for free.
	So the free books are, number one, much shorter.
	They have cover art that's not as good.
	And then secondly, the free tier in the production queue, the free tier always goes to the end of the line after the token holders.
	I know.
	And I know.
	It's like, well, the token holders move to the front of the line.
	It would be the positive way to say that.
	But basically, if you're a free tier user, you might have to wait longer to get your book created.
	But hey, you know, free is good.
	So free, sometimes you have to have patience for the free tier.
	But it's still free.
	So very cool.
	Okay, let's see.
	Something else I wanted to mention here is that audio is available for some books.
	And I'm the one who decides which books have audio.
	And currently, it's a 15-minute podcast type of conversation.
	In fact, there are a couple of books I wanted to click that for.
	I need to do that.
	This is just a test, actually.
	We are testing the audio right now to kind of see how it works.
	So far, the feedback has been very positive, but we need to add some additional features and some fine-tuning to the audio.
	We did fix a couple of glitches there as well.
	Ultimately, we're going to have audio books of the entire book.
	So you'll be able to download just the MP3 files and you're going to have the whole audio book also free, okay?
	But it won't be audio for every book.
	So there's going to be probably a cutoff point.
	You have to have a certain number of reads or downloads in order for the audio book to be triggered.
	And that's also going to depend on how much cheaper the text-to-speech audio engines become over the next six months.
	As audio gets cheaper, we will turn it on for more and more books.
	And right now, the cost of compute is dropping rapidly.
	By some estimates, 40x per year.
	So compute is getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper.
	And as it gets cheaper, we'll be able to activate more multimedia or multimodal features on Brightlearn.ai.
	And so the next one is going to be full-length audio books.
	And then after that, we'll have audio books in different languages.
	We will also have books in text in different languages.
	And that's going to support, I was looking at our language list last night, not only the obvious ones like Spanish, French, Italian, German, but also Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and then Russian and Farsi also, it turns out.
	There's going to be Farsi and other languages around the world as well.
	You know, isn't AI great.
	It can do all this language translation.
	So we will have multilingual versions of the books that'll have a different you know, a native language cover, table contents, the text, the whole thing is going to be in different languages.
	That's coming soon as well, and you don't have to do anything special if you're a creator of a book.
	You don't have to do anything other than just keep creating books, and we're going to be working on the back end to generate multilingual versions of those books and and then audio books or audio podcasts about your books, things like that.
	And then what's going to happen?
	The next multimodal goal will be to automatically create mini documentaries, like a three minute video that covers your book's highlights.
	So think about that.
	Maybe it's four minutes, five minutes, whatever.
	That is still very expensive and it's not.
	It's not sophisticated enough yet, but I think within six months that's going to be very doable, maybe sooner.
	I mean, there have been a lot of improvements in video creation engines, so that could be coming soon and then ultimately, maybe by 2027, we will have full-length documentaries based on your book.
	So the ultimate goal is that for every book that is created on our site given enough time and advances in technology and improvements in efficiency of compute, etc.
	That one book is going to be available in text pdf conversational, audio audio book full length plus a mini documentary and then a full length documentary, and all of that in many different languages.
	Okay, so one book could spawn like 20 different formats in different languages, different modes, etc.
	That's the goal of where i'm taking Brightlearn.ai.
	So there you go.
	Also, there's a feature that we're going to roll out soon which will allow you to alter a book that you have already generated.
	In other words well, in certain ways for example, if you need to correct the author name, or you need to change the title, or if you just really want to delete the book, or something like that we're going to allow you to log in, which is the same thing you do as the author right now.
	You'll log in with your email address and a token that you use to generate a book, and then you'll be able to see your books and you can make basic edits or you can request a delete.
	So that feature is coming as well.
	And what you hear in the background right now?
	These are my AI workers writing chapters right now.
	This is a book about Red Light Revolution.
	It's about the healing power of red light.
	That's cool.
	It's called Glow The 90-day Red Light Revolution.
	So I actually run a browser here.
	That it it, it.
	It makes sound effects when new books are being created.
	And there's a sound effect for every worker that completes a subchapter.
	So I call those the bloop sounds.
	So when you hear bloop, there's one.
	You hear bloop.
	I don't know if you can hear them in the background.
	When you hear the bloops, those are workers finishing.
	And then there's a sound when the whole book is finalized and packaged.
	And then there's another sound when a new book is discovered that needs to be created.
	So that allows me to do other kind of work and then I can just listen to the sounds in the browser and I can know some of what's happening.
	All right.
	So that's about it.
	As of today, we are at 279 books.
	We were at 180 yesterday.
	So that's 100 books in one day.
	We've had almost 14,000 reads of the books and almost 24,000 downloads.
	So this is significant.
	This is exploding in popularity.
	Everybody's loving this.
	I mean, who doesn't love knowledge that's decentralized and uncensored and also free?
	You know, so lots of people using the engine.
	I mean, so many amazing books.
	I'm actually really impressed and stunned.
	And just, I love it.
	I mean, the quality of the books that are being generated here is just off the charts.
	Amazing.
	These books are better than anything I've seen at the bookstores.
	I'm telling you.
	Because a lot of publishers wouldn't touch these topics.
	Like, here's a book called The Great Replacement: How Globalists Weaponize Migration, AI, and Economic War to Destroy Nations.
	And here's another book called Viral Deception: The Untold History of Virology.
	Fact, Fiction, or Fabrication.
	See, you would never have a mainstream publisher that would touch that book.
	Never.
	So not only is our book engine helping to empower creators like you to do amazing things, but it's also uncensored in the sense that it allows you to explore topics that no other publisher would touch.
	Now, there are limitations on book topics.
	I do want to be clear.
	We do have a prompt validation system in place that I wrote.
	And because my goal is to help empower and uplift humanity, I do not allow books that are harmful or destructive to society, right?
	So you can't create a book that talks about how to build bombs and blow things up.
	Or, you know, you can't write a book that's just attacking a person or it's just a bunch of negativity about a brand name or something like that.
	Because look, I want to use this technology to help empower humanity, to uplift people.
	And so I welcome books on lots of different topics, including controversial topics, but not topics that are destructive or maybe threatening or encouraging harmful activities or illegal activities, things like that.
	Okay.
	So just be mindful of that.
	And it will reject your prompt if you try to do something like that.
	And if it doesn't reject the prompt and if something makes it through, well, we reserve the right to delete the book if we think it's bad.
	Like, I don't mean just casually bad.
	It's not like I'm not going to delete books just because I disagree with them.
	I mean books that are harmful or encouraging harmful or violent activities, things like that.
	We reserve the right to remove those books from the platform if we believe that they could encourage people to carry out acts that are harmful, dangerous, or illegal.
	Okay.
	So that is part of the terms of service.
	And the bottom line on that is that our platform has become a very positive place for people to get lots of knowledge.
	People are downloading books, a lot of do-it-yourself books.
	Like here's one called The Art and Science of Sour Dough.
	A comprehensive journey from ancient grains to modern mastery.
	Yeah, it's a book about bread.
	Okay.
	It's a book about bread.
	Here's one, Golden Years Vibrant Life, a holistic guide to thriving health for seniors.
	Yeah, very cool, right?
	Here's one about off-grid weather wisdom.
	It's called The Homesteader's Sky.
	And so many amazing books that are just extraordinary.
	Here's one called The Strategic Investor, Mastering Stock Options for Profit and Protection.
	Here's one called The Family Business Blueprint.
	Valuations, Transfer, and Sustainable Ownership.
	Wow.
	Renal Rebirth.
	This is about kidney health, the holistic blueprint to reverse autoimmune, chronic kidney disease, and restore vitality.
	Here's one called The Ultimate Parents Guide to Groom Proofing Your Kids Against Media Manipulation and Globalist Agendas.
	That's kind of cool.
	I mean, it just goes on and on.
	The topics are amazing.
	Roots of renewal, transforming forests into flourishing silvo pastures.
	That's a new term.
	Here's one called the Telomere Longevity Blueprint.
	How to naturally extend your life with herbs, nutrition, and simple daily practices.
	You see, here's one called The Illusion of Authority, Violence, Hypocrisy, and the Myth of Government.
	Yeah.
	See, these are topics that are very important for human freedom.
	And a lot of these are topics that would never be touched by other publishers.
	So that's why this is a revolutionary platform.
	And that's why we're putting so much effort and investment into it, you know, funding it with the grants from healthrangerstore.com.
	If you want to help support the platform, you can, of course, shop at healthrangerstore.com.
	And I encourage you to use the platform and share the books, get the word out, and you can stay tuned to this channel for additional updates.
	I'll be posting here about bug fixes, new features, anything significant that you might want to learn about.
	It's going to be right here on this channel.
	So I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brightlearn.ai and the only human developer on this entire project, which started out as a challenge to see if AI was capable enough to where I could code something that was ready for prime time without using any other human engineers.
	And the answer is yes with an asterisk.
	It's yes, if you have a strong background of coding and infrastructure and software.
	I don't think I could do this if I didn't have my background, but AI is going to keep getting better.
	And within another year or so, you won't even need the knowledge that I just mentioned in order to build incredible apps because the AI will be totally capable of doing everything.
	So I'm just an early adopter of this technology, but you'll want to use this tech, I think, for your own projects in the next year if you're not already doing so.
	It's very powerful.
	And when we use technology with ethics, then we use it to set people free rather than enslaving people or surveilling people.
	We use it to inform and empower people, to uplift people, and to bring knowledge to those all over the world who can't afford to buy a book in some cases.
	A book might cost them a day's wage, you know, but they can get free books from us at brightlearn.ai.
	And that makes me feel good to be able to contribute to the world with knowledge that's so powerful and yet completely free of charge.
	And yes, together with your support, we have collapsed the price of book knowledge to zero.
	Actually, zero.
	Yeah.
	And within a month, we'll probably have like 10,000 different books available.
	And we'll be offering full downloads of categories of books completely free of charge as well.
	So, yeah, lots of good stuff coming.
	So thank you for listening.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of Brighteon and also the founder of HealthRangerStore.com.
	Take care.
	The real purpose of censorship is to protect a powerful interest from the truth.
	That's the game.
	And the best example of that is censorship regarding health information, censorship that prevents you from learning the truth about nutrition and herbs and disease cures, cancer cures.
	And this censorship is pushed by, of course, the medical industrial complex, which consists of Big Pharma, which is very wealthy and very influential, obviously, gives all kinds of money to candidates and members of the Senate and the House.
	And Big Pharma needs censorship to remain in place in order to keep their business model functioning.
	Because if people knew the truth about herbs and nutrition and foods and how to prevent disease and reverse disease without using pharmaceuticals, well, then big pharma would lose trillions of dollars in revenue over time.
	And the medical industrial complex, as we know it today, would absolutely collapse because nearly all disease that you see out there that's treated with prescription drugs, nearly all of it, can be prevented or reversed through diet, nutrition, exercise, sunlight, things like that.
	Or reducing exposure to toxins.
	People have a lot of toxin exposure through the products they purchase, but there's censorship about that too.
	So again, the whole purpose of censorship is to protect this industry.
	And that's why Google censors the truth about natural health.
	And that's why ChatGPT also has mirrored Google and is completely censoring anything that's true about herbs, nutrition, or the dangers of vaccines, or the dangers of psychiatric drugs, or the lies of the FDA, or the COVID pandemic, or the CDC crimes against humanity, and so on.
	All of that is censored on purpose by the same groups that censored Google or pushed Google to engage in such censorship.
	Same thing on YouTube, same thing on Facebook, etc.
	So massive censorship.
	No one is allowed to know the truth about how to prevent and reverse chronic degenerative disease.
	Then again, times are changing in the sense that we can bypass censorship now through decentralized tools.
	And that's why our new book engine, which is incredibly popular, it's at brightlearn.ai.
	We have books being published every hour now that are completely free to download and read that just blow away the entire all the censorship and lies of the medical industrial complex.
	So you can find all the books, by the way, at books.brightlearn.ai and you will really enjoy them.
	And if you want an AI engine, just a regular chatbot engine that won't censor the truth about these topics, then use our AI engine.
	It's free.
	It's at brightu.ai.
	That's the word bright followed by the letter you.ai.
	Okay, so that's why there's censorship also in the media.
	The media was always pushing the COVID pandemic and vaccines and masks and lockdowns and all that nonsense.
	Why?
	Because the media is about 70% funded by big pharma and the medical industrial complex.
	So it's a massive racket.
	It's a giant criminal con, but it's so incredibly profitable that the industry can achieve censorship of all the major institutions, big tech, big media, big government, even education institutions, med schools, you name it, they have near total control.
	But that's just one example.
	Another example of censorship that protects a powerful regime is censorship about gold and silver or about the history of the Federal Reserve or the fact that the Federal Reserve itself isn't part of the federal government.
	Now, 20 years ago, if you talked about these things, you were instantly labeled a conspiracy theorist.
	You know, I remember when Ron Paul was talking about this, we should audit the Fed.
	And if you said the Fed isn't part of the federal government, people would eye roll and mock you and say, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist.
	But they were wrong.
	Factually, the Federal Reserve is actually owned and run by a cartel of international banksters.
	It's not run by our government, and it doesn't answer to even the U.S. Supreme Court.
	Did you know that?
	The Federal Reserve doesn't answer to the Supreme Court.
	The Fed can do whatever it wants.
	It doesn't even answer to the president.
	That's right.
	It's above the president and above the Supreme Court.
	So what does that tell you?
	Yeah, it's not subject to the laws of the United States of America, nor is it subject to the Constitution.
	It is extremely powerful.
	But how does it maintain that power?
	Well, the power to print money is incredibly powerful, as you might imagine, but they also have the power to achieve censorship.
	This is why across mainstream media, you almost never hear anybody reporting on gold or silver as money.
	They just won't talk about it.
	They'll mock it sometimes, but they won't talk about gold and silver as being anything useful to individuals, or they'll talk about it as an ancient relic, when in fact it's fiat currencies that are about to become the ancient relic as they collapse.
	And real money is gold and silver.
	And that's what people understand today who are informed.
	But why do they need to censor the truth about gold and silver?
	Because they need people to falsely believe that dollars are money.
	Dollars are not money by definition.
	Money has to be a store of value.
	Since dollars don't store value, they keep losing value rapidly, as you have probably noticed.
	Dollars are not a store of value, and they're not backed by anything that is valuable.
	They're not backed by gold, for example, not since 1971.
	They're not backed by silver.
	So dollars are anti-money, you could say.
	They are far from being real money.
	But we're told all the time the opposite.
	We're told that dollars are money.
	We're told that gold is useless.
	So to the uninformed masses, they will tend to try to save, if they ever save, in dollars.
	And that's the scam, because then the Federal Reserve prints trillions of dollars, which is a form of theft from the people, stealing your purchasing power.
	While those who are intelligent will purchase gold and silver, which is effectively swapping out fake fiat currency with real actual money.
	And then that's why gold and silver continue to rise in dollar value because the dollar is collapsing.
	But again, you have to be plugged into alternative information in order to know all of this.
	And the corporate media just won't do that by design.
	Again, censorship is used to protect the powerful interests of, in this case, the currency cartels to protect the currency cartels from the truth.
	The truth is that their currency is not money.
	So there you go.
	Two examples right now.
	Big pharma needs censorship to protect their lies about pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
	And big money needs censorship to protect their lies about currency versus gold.
	So where else do we see censorship and lies?
	Well, in 2022, we saw extreme censorship about Ukraine, Ukraine versus Russia.
	And all across the media, if you said anything that was perceived to be on the side of Russia, like, hey, Russia might actually win this thing, you know, or hey, Ukraine is extremely corrupt.
	And why are we sending $100 billion to Ukraine when it's not actually helping the soldiers on the front lines, et cetera?
	If you said anything like that, you were censored.
	You were smeared.
	You were slandered.
	Even though those things have, of course, proven to be true, that Russia has won this conflict with Ukraine.
	And Ukraine's top leaders are incredibly corrupt.
	That's being exposed now.
	One of them has had to flee Kiev and was fired by Zelensky.
	And Zelensky himself is, of course, incredibly corrupt.
	Something like $100 billion has disappeared into the pockets of the corrupt officials in Ukraine.
	But you couldn't say that in 2022, 2023, or 2024 without being censored.
	And again, what was the whole reason behind that?
	Well, they had to protect the powerful pro-war interests.
	No, they had to say Ukraine is going to win this, and that's why we have to keep sending them money.
	And then the money was laundered back into the pockets of U.S. senators and State Department officials, etc.
	So it was a giant money laundering con that predominantly took place under the Biden administration.
	And to Trump's credit, the Trump administration is now exposing that money laundering and fraud and working to shut it down and pushing, really forcing Ukraine to adhere to this new peace agreement, which is not helping Ukraine, by the way.
	This peace agreement is pretty much a surrender, a surrender to Russia's demands.
	But all during the Biden years, you couldn't say anything like that.
	You were completely censored.
	Again, to protect the war industry.
	So where else do you see extreme censorship?
	Well, this is what's interesting.
	See, I just gave three examples earlier of how censorship protects powerful interests in terms of money and finance and political power, etc.
	But there's also extreme censorship around narratives that shape culture and science and even the very definition of what is true.
	One of those very powerful narratives is called virology.
	And the way this narrative goes, it says that there's these things called viruses and that if a virus, even one particle, gets into your body, that it will infect you and it will create symptoms such as, well, let's say the flu virus, right?
	Or influenza, that it will create flu-like symptoms.
	And then you will replicate the flu virus and then you will pass it to someone else.
	And then they will have the same symptoms, the flu symptoms.
	And then on and on, they will replicate it.
	They will pass it to someone else.
	So there's this entire narrative around flu viruses or other viruses that are contagious.
	And for most of my life, I completely believed in traditional verbology.
	Probably just like you did, or maybe you still do.
	Most people still do.
	And every doctor still believes in this narrative of verbology.
	But what got me questioning this was during the COVID years, I was trying to acquire an isolated standard of SARS-CoV-2 virus particles in order to do lab testing in my ISO accredited MassSpec laboratory.
	So we do liquid chromatography.
	We do triple quad, mass spec, single quad, mass spec, ICPMS, heavy metals analysis, GC analysis for dioxins, and much more.
	You know, it's a massive multi-million dollar laboratory.
	And we routinely purchase standards from all the standards companies, you know, from whatever, you know, all across the industry.
	So we can buy a standard of almost anything that we need.
	You can buy a standard of lead, for example, because you have to show your instrument what lead looks like.
	And you can buy a standard of glyphosate, which we do.
	We routinely buy glyphosate standards.
	And the vial is all glyphosate, you know, to certain purity standards.
	You can buy a vial that is 99.99% pure glyphosate or atrazine or any other pesticide or herbicide that you might want to test.
	Or you can buy standards of every molecule, every chemical.
	You can buy standards of every toxin.
	Okay.
	This is normal in the laboratory industry.
	You cannot buy any standards of any virus.
	Did you know that?
	You cannot buy standards of any virus.
	They do not exist.
	And when I say that, what I mean is you can't buy a vial that's just lifelized or freeze-dried influenza virus particles.
	Doesn't exist.
	And when I found out that they do not exist, I was shocked.
	And I said, I was talking to one of our sales reps.
	I said, well, how am I supposed to know if I'm looking at influenza virus, let's say, or COVID virus?
	How do I, how, I need something to show my instrument.
	And they said, oh, no, no, you, you download the digital libraries and you just compare your real world sample against a digital library.
	Like, wait a second, because that doesn't sound very scientific to me.
	See, in everything else that I test, I have the physical molecule or I have the heavy metal.
	I have the elements.
	I've got it physically here.
	I can show the instrument.
	I can prove it.
	I have a five-point calibration curve of different levels of concentrations.
	I use pipettes to make the diluted standards, serial dilutions, as it's called.
	And so I'm moving liquid from here to there.
	But I know it's actually in the liquid because I can see it on the instrument.
	And they're like, no, with viruses, it doesn't work that way.
	You don't really have any.
	You just download digital libraries.
	And so I went out and I tried to buy, I went to every company I could find.
	And I found that there's one company that was selling what they called an isolate of SARS-CoV-2.
	An isolate.
	You would think that's an isolated standard, but it turns out it wasn't.
	It was a combination of cow blood particles and human SNOT is where it originally came from.
	So they said that this woman got off a plane from China.
	She landed in the Seattle airport and they took some SNOT from her and she had symptoms and they said that therefore she had COVID.
	So they took her SNOT samples and then they put it in a vial with cow blood and serum from other animals.
	And then from there, on they added some other chemicals to it.
	And then they have been, you know, growing that and replicating it from vial to vial and selling that and calling it a COVID standard or a SARS-CoV-2 standard isolate.
	But that's not an isolate.
	An isolate would be a powder of freeze-dried virus particles and nothing else.
	And that does not exist.
	So I said all that to tell you this, that censorship around the whole conversation about virology and immunology and infections, censorship is critical.
	And pushing the false narrative of infectious viruses, it's critical.
	And it's been very successful.
	So successful that, again, almost everybody believes it.
	And some of you listening may still believe it.
	And that's okay.
	I believed it for my entire life until the last five years.
	Now I know it's completely false.
	It's completely false.
	The claim that there are virus particles that make people sick, that pass from one person to another, that claim is completely false.
	Now, bacteria, that's real.
	We can see bacteria under the microscope.
	We can buy a standard of bacteria and we can actually have it in a vial.
	You see?
	You can't buy a standard of viruses that are isolated, that the vial is nothing but the virus, you know, it doesn't exist.
	So that's all fake.
	But again, that narrative has been critical to protecting the vaccine industry and big pharma and the sick care industry because they don't want to talk about what really makes people sick.
	Exposure to toxins, exposure to 5G, radio signals, you know, chemtrails, whatever they're dropping out of the sky, and whatever they put into your food, the pesticides, the herbicides, and all the toxins and personal care products and shampoos and everything else.
	They do not want to talk about that.
	They would rather say, no, you got infected by, you know, your neighbor through an invisible thing that it's so invisible, even we can't see it.
	But here, they say, here's a magic injection that will protect you from this invisible thing that we call viruses.
	And then you take the injection, you know, it's called the flu shot.
	And it doesn't stop flu symptoms anyway.
	And you still get the flu anyway because the whole model is wrong.
	It's all been a lie from the start.
	But again, censorship protects that industry.
	Here's another big one.
	Evolution as the explanation for the origin of the species.
	It, of course, makes no sense that evolution alone could result in the origin of every life form on Earth.
	Now, I'm not opposed to the concepts of natural selection.
	We know natural selection works.
	If there's a population of moths, you know, they will, if there's a change in the tree population, then the moths over time, the ones that blend in with the tree bark, will be better protected against predators than the moths that have white colors on their wings, right?
	So, yeah, of course, natural selection works.
	If you can survive against predators better, then you're going to have more offspring, etc.
	Yeah, we get that.
	That's obvious.
	But using evolution to explain the origin of the species does not work because even the fossil record is missing.
	There's this gap in the fossil record between, and I'm not going to use technical terms here because I don't know all the details here, but between apes and humans, okay?
	There's a giant gap.
	And there's no fossil record of that gap.
	The missing link isn't there.
	So slow evolution over time does not explain the rise of the human species, it turns out.
	And yet, and yet, if you dare question that, you will be censored.
	You will not be offered a professorship at a university.
	You won't be given grants, you know, science grants from the government.
	You won't be given any information.
	Your career will be over.
	You won't be invited to speak.
	You won't be allowed to publish a book or a science paper in any journal anywhere that questions evolution.
	Because they would say, well, the science is settled, which is a way of saying we're now going to censor anyone who challenges this theory.
	Anytime they say the science is settled, you know they're up to something and it's sketchy because the science is never actually settled.
	By definition, science is supposed to take into account new knowledge, new findings, new information.
	Otherwise, it can't advance.
	Science is never settled.
	Actually, science is actually, it's obsolete all the time because a new understanding takes its place.
	You know, from standard Newtonian physics, for example, to quantum physics or subatomic physics, we have to constantly rewrite our understanding of the composition of matter, for example.
	But evolution, that theory has been used to explain away the idea of a creator.
	And a creator, you know, lots of different explanations for that.
	But let's say intelligent design of modern humans.
	You know, the sciences don't want to talk about intelligent design, even from both from a god or from an advanced extraterrestrial civilization that was playing around with genetic engineering of apes on planets.
	You know, I mean, there's different explanations for intelligent design, right?
	They don't all have to be the Christian God, let's say.
	There's different explanations.
	But science doesn't want anybody to talk about any kind of intelligent design.
	So they push the theory of evolution, even though it makes no sense.
	And that's why we end up with so much censorship there.
	Similarly, we have a lot of censorship around the theory of climate change, which is also a total hoax.
	The theory of climate change says that carbon dioxide is bad for the planet, that it's bad for plants, that it's going to destroy everything and we all have to stop using energy, otherwise we'll all die from climate change.
	But again, that theory makes no sense at all, does it?
	Because carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis, obviously.
	It's the number one most important molecule in the atmosphere to grow trees and forests and crops and to support pollinators.
	If you don't have carbon dioxide, everything dies.
	So you need, obviously, CO2 on the planet.
	But extreme censorship about that topic has existed now for almost 20 years in America.
	Yeah, it's been 20 years.
	And you're not allowed to say that climate alarmism is a total hoax and it's not backed by good science.
	And the temperatures are not rising to the degree, literally, that we've been told they would.
	And no, all the ice caps haven't melted.
	And no, New York City isn't under the ocean water now.
	All these predictions that Al Gore pushed over 20 years ago, they've all failed.
	Every single one of them.
	They've all failed.
	And so it's because climate change is a hoax.
	But it's a hoax that is, it's protected via censorship in order to promote this idea that globalists have to reduce human populations and reduce human consumption of energy.
	That's what it's always been about.
	And ultimately, a lot of these censorship regimes are all about depopulation.
	Even vaccines, they are depopulation bioweapons, for example.
	So ultimately, you're being kept ignorant in the dark on everything in order to make sure that the globalists can exterminate you more easily.
	That's why they don't want you to know about health and nutrition and longevity because they want you to be easier to kill.
	They want you to die younger.
	That's why they want you to believe in virology and influenza because they want you to take the death jabs that they call flu shots.
	That's why they don't want you to understand that carbon dioxide is necessary for plants because they want you to agree to be controlled so that you are monitored on your power usage so that they can cut off your power at any time for any reason.
	And in some extreme cases, in the extreme summer heat or the winter cold, they can kill elderly people by cutting off their energy or by having rolling blackouts and things like that.
	So all of this actually comes back to their desire to kill you.
	This is all on purpose.
	They're preparing Earth for a post-human future is what that's all about in case you were wondering.
	And censorship is a big part of it.
	So if you support censorship, then you are anti-human.
	Really?
	I mean, you're the enemy of humanity if you support censorship.
	If you support freedom of speech, then you are pro-human, pro-truth.
	And of course, I support freedom of speech, and I support the survival of humanity, and I support decentralization of knowledge.

	Hey, everyone, welcome back to BrightLearn.ai.
	Today we're diving into a book that's really shaking up the conversation about America's future in the tech world.
	It's called Terawatt Tantrums, How America Already Lost the AI Race and Is 15 Years Behind China on Power Infrastructure.
	And let me tell you, this isn't just another tech analysis.
	It's a wake-up call about energy, power, and who's really going to control the future.
	Oh man, that title alone gives me chills.
	Terawatt tantrums.
	It sounds like we're throwing a fit because we're losing, right?
	Exactly.
	And you know what?
	We are losing.
	This book lays out how China isn't just ahead in AI, they're dominating because they've got the one thing we can't seem to get right, energy.
	Like actual electricity to power these massive data centers that train AI.
	And here's the kicker.
	This isn't just about tech.
	It's about who controls the future of civilization.
	Okay, so we're talking about power plants and stuff.
	That doesn't sound as sexy as AI, but I guess it's the boring stuff that actually matters.
	Oh, it's way sexier than you think.
	So here's the thing: China's producing over 10,000 terawatt hours of electricity every year.
	The US?
	Less than half that.
	And you know what that means?
	They can run more data centers, train bigger AI models, and basically out-compute us in every way that matters.
	But it gets worse.
	China isn't just building power plants.
	They're building an entire energy empire while we're busy shutting ours down.
	Wait, 10,000 terawatt hours?
	That's that's a lot of zeros.
	How did we let this happen?
	Well, that's where it gets really frustrating.
	So back in the day, we had this thing called the petrodollar.
	Basically, the whole world had to use dollars to buy oil, which kept our currency strong.
	But now, China's cutting deals left and right to trade oil in yuan, rubles, you name it.
	They're building pipelines, securing energy routes, and even controlling rare earth minerals, stuff we need for tech.
	Meanwhile, we're still arguing about wind turbines that can't even keep the lights on in California.
	Ugh, that's like showing up to a gunfight with a butter knife.
	So what's our plan?
	Or do we even have one?
	Oh, we've got plans, all right.
	The White House put out this AI action plan that's supposed to be our big comeback, but here's the kicker.
	It's all about optimizing existing resources and stabilizing the grid.
	No actual plan to build more power plants, just rearranging what we've already got.
	And China?
	They're not just running, they're building a whole new track.
	They're putting up coal plants, nuclear reactors, you name it.
	Meanwhile, we're shutting down coal plants and arguing about wind turbines that can't even keep the lights on in California.
	Are you serious?
	That's like trying to win a marathon by tying your shoes better.
	You still need to I don't know, run.
	Exactly.
	And China?
	They're sprinting.
	They've got a 15-year head start on power infrastructure, and we're still stuck in regulatory limbo.
	Every time someone tries to build a new plant, nuclear, coal, whatever, it gets tied up in lawsuits for years.
	China?
	They build a nuclear reactor in months.
	And here's the thing.
	This isn't just about AI, it's about who controls the future.
	China's building an AI-driven surveillance state where they can track and control everything.
	If we don't have the energy to compete, we don't just lose tech, we lose our freedom.
	Okay, but wind and solar are good, right?
	I mean, we don't want to be burning coal forever.
	Sure, renewables are great, in theory, but here's the problem: they're intermittent.
	The sun doesn't always shine, the wind doesn't always blow.
	You can't run a data center that way.
	You need baseload power, something that's always on, rain or shine.
	And right now, that means nuclear or coal.
	And here's the thing: China's not just building coal plants, they're building next-gen nuclear reactors, small modular ones that can be deployed fast.
	Meanwhile, we're still debating whether to upgrade our grid from the 1950s.
	So we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
	We can't keep up with China's energy, and our green solutions aren't cutting it for AI.
	What do we do?
	Well, that's the million dollar question.
	The book talks about how we've got to start thinking differently, like way differently.
	We need to fast-track nuclear power, especially these small modular reactors that can be built quicker.
	We need to stop letting environmentalists shut down every power project that comes along.
	And we need to realize that if we don't act now, we're not just going to lose the AI race.
	We're going to lose our economic independence, our military edge, maybe even our way of life.
	That's that's a lot to take in.
	But you're saying it's not just about tech or energy, it's about our whole future.
	Yeah, and here's the thing that really gets me.
	This isn't just about who's got the best AI, it's about who controls the future.
	China's building an AI-driven surveillance state where they can track and control everything.
	If we don't have the energy to compete, we don't just lose tech, we lose our freedom.
	And it's not just China.
	Look at what's happening in Europe.
	They're so dependent on foreign energy that they're basically held hostage by whoever controls the pipelines.
	We can't let that happen here.
	Wow, that's that's heavier than I thought.
	So, what you're saying is this isn't just a tech race, it's a fight for who gets to decide how the world works.
	Exactly.
	And right now, we're losing badly.
	And the scariest part?
	Most people don't even realize it's happening.
	They think AI is just about cool chat bots or self-driving cars.
	They don't see the bigger picture, that this is about who gets to decide what the future looks like.
	So, what do we do?
	How do we even start fixing this?
	Well, first, we've got to wake people up.
	Make them see that energy isn't boring, it's the foundation of everything.
	Then we've got to push our leaders to actually do something, build the power plants, invest in nuclear, stop letting China outmaneuver us at every turn.
	And here's the thing: we can't just rely on the government.
	We've got to take control ourselves.
	Solar microgrids, community energy projects, whatever it takes to start taking back control.
	Because if we wait for the government to fix this, we're going to be waiting a long time.
	And by then, it'll be too late.
	That's that's actually kind of inspiring in a weird way, like we can do something about this.
	We don't have to just sit here and watch China win.
	Exactly.
	This isn't a done deal.
	But we've got to act fast because the clock is ticking.
	And every day we wait is another day China gets further ahead.
	And it's not just China, it's about who controls the future of civilization.
	Do we want a world where AI is used to control people or one where it empowers them?
	That's the real question.
	Alright, so what's the first step?
	Where do we even start?
	We start by talking about it, by making sure people understand what's at stake, by supporting policies and technologies that actually move us forward, not just make us feel good.
	And by not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, we can't afford to wait for some magical green energy solution that might never come.
	We need real power, real infrastructure now.
	Got it.
	So no more sitting on the sidelines, we've got to get in the game, even if it's messy.
	Exactly.
	Because if we don't, we're not just going to lose the AI race, we're going to lose the future.
	And here's the thing: this isn't just about tech, it's about freedom.
	It's about whether we want to live in a world where AI is used to control people or empower them.
	And right now, China's building a future where they control everything.
	We can't let that happen.
	Well, that's a pretty compelling call to action.
	Thanks for breaking this down, Rhys.
	It's a lot to take in, but it's stuff we need to be talking about.
	Absolutely.
	And hey, if you want to dive deeper into this, the full book is available for free at BrightLearn AI.
	There's a ton more in there about how we got here and what we can do to fight back.
	And here's the thing: this isn't just about energy or AI, it's about who controls the future.
	And right now, we're losing that fight.
	Perfect.
	And remember, you can create your own books on any topic completely free at BrightLearn AI.
	It's an amazing resource for anyone who wants to share knowledge or learn something new.
	And if you're worried about the future, this is the kind of stuff you need to be reading.
	Exactly.
	Knowledge is power, and right now, we need all the power we can get.
	Thanks for tuning in, everyone.
	We'll catch you next time.
