BBN, Feb 9, 2026 – Glyphosate in Bread, Iran Captures U.S. Bunker Bust Bomb, and AI’s Mass Replaceme
Mike Adams exposes Florida’s glyphosate-laced bread tests (Nature’s Own at 190 ppb, Wonder Bread at 173 ppb) while touting his lab’s ISO 17025-validated toxin screenings. He ties Epstein’s 2018 sulfuric acid orders to FBI child trafficking probes and claims the billionaire’s death was faked, with Mossad ties fueling alleged blackmail of world leaders like Trump, Netanyahu, and Clinton. AI’s leap—Claude Opus 4.6 scoring 53% on the Humanities Last Exam—threatens mass unemployment ($1.2T UBI cost risks hyperinflation), while Iran reverse-engineers a failed U.S. bunker-buster bomb (GBU-57, June 2025) to bolster hypersonic missiles targeting Israel’s nuclear sites. Adams warns Trump’s potential Iran strike could backfire, citing Iran’s anti-stealth radar and China-backed defenses, while framing Western corruption as a global destabilizer.

All right, welcome to Brightown Broadcast News from Monday, February 9th, 2026.
And wow, do I have a lot of news for you today?
But I want to start off with something that's a little less, you know, crazy because the news cycle is totally insane right now with what's happening in the world, what's happening domestically, what's happening with the Epstein files, you know, it's crazy.
But let's start with a non-crazy topic, which is also kind of crazy in its own way, which is the state of Florida has begun testing off-the-shelf grocery store products like popular breads for glyphosate.
This is something I've done, you know, for years in my lab.
And what I'm about to bring you here is the analysis from the state of Florida of which brands they found that had seemingly high levels of glyphosate.
And then I'm going to bring you some footage from my new laboratory and showing you our instruments, including the instrument that we use to test for glyphosate.
Because we've just opened up our new lab.
Well, I mean, it's been a couple of months now, but it's our brand new facility, lots of space.
You're going to love to see it.
And I've been waiting to show you this video.
So I'm going to play part of it for you here today.
Also, we've got the second half of the interview with Patrick Henningsen coming up at the end of today's broadcast.
So you don't want to miss that.
So let's start with the glyphosate bread report.
Here we go.
Welcome to this special report about glyphosate in bread.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger food scientist, and I'm also going to play some footage for you here that we just filmed in our new laboratory where we test foods for glyphosate, as well as many other things like heavy metals and so on.
I'll give you a little bit of that later on.
But the important breaking news here is that the state of Florida, which has an initiative called Healthy Florida First, they launched a website a little while ago called exposingfoodtoxins.com and they have measured glyphosate levels in different brand name breads and they have released their findings publicly.
And what I like about their findings is that they actually talk about the concentration of glyphosate in the bread.
See, in the past I've seen a lot of people being very alarmist and saying things like, oh, this bread tested positive for glyphosate and as a food scientist myself, you know I've published science papers, I've developed chromatography methods, I've developed, actually built and validated a mass spec method for glyphosate quantitation.
So when somebody says oh, it tested positive for glyphosate, I have to chuckle because that doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't mean anything.
All it means is that oh, you saw what one molecule of glyphosate in the bread.
That doesn't mean anything.
Who So the phrase?
Anytime you hear people using the phrase, it tested positive for lead or it tested positive for aluminum or it tested positive for glyphosate, that doesn't mean anything.
What matters is the concentrations that are found.
And to their credit, the state of Florida has released the concentrations.
And a couple of them are quite alarming, actually, more than a couple.
So I'm going to go through that with you here.
So according to the state of Florida, the bread that they found with the highest concentration of glyphosate is called nature's own.
Nature's own.
It's their butter bread, and it tested at 190 parts per billion of glyphosate.
Now, 190 parts per billion is pretty high.
That's concerning.
It doesn't mean that it's illegal.
There's not a law against it.
And that's important to note.
The FDA doesn't even have hard limits on any of this stuff, nor does the USDA.
But you know, food manufacturers can sell you food that's absolutely loaded with glyphosate.
And that's why it's important that if you're purchasing foods or superfoods or supplements, that you get them from a store like my store, HealthRangerStore.com, where we actually conduct the lab testing for glyphosate and heavy metals and many other things.
And again, I'll show you some footage that I just filmed last week.
I'll show you the instrument that we use for glyphosate testing.
It's a beast.
It's a massive machine.
You'll see.
But 190 parts per billion, that's too high.
And I've seen numbers like that before, but not commonly.
Now, again, I don't go out and test nature's own brand, but it is kind of bizarre that it's called nature's own.
So it sounds like it's natural, but then it's got the highest glyphosate according to the state of Florida.
And I'm kind of curious what lab they use for this.
I'm sure it's, I mean, you would think it must be a reputable lab.
So they probably can fully support all their numbers and their methodology and everything else.
I'm not questioning any of that.
But these are shocking numbers.
And then there's another bread from also nature's own called Perfectly Crafted White that's got 132 parts per billion.
Like, what?
What?
Where's all this glyphosate coming from?
Well, obviously, it's in the wheat.
I mean, most likely, because the wheat crops are sprayed with glyphosate often as a desiccant to dry the wheat in the field.
Now, I want to say something as a food scientist.
These numbers, these are only a snapshot of bread from one specific production lot that use one specific batch of wheat that came in.
These numbers will be different seasonally or even in different regions.
And this is why I've often, you know, what I've thought in the past, hey, it'd be great if I go to the grocery store and I test these brand name products and I release all the results.
The problem with that is you don't know if it's the same result in Chicago or in Seattle or in the spring or in the fall.
You know what I mean?
These numbers vary because they're based on agricultural products and those inputs also vary.
They can vary significantly.
This is why, again, it's critical to do testing.
That's why we do testing at healthrangerstore.com.
And if you're buying products from companies that do not do massive testing of every production lot, you're getting exposed to a large amount of glyphosate.
There's just no question about it.
And we've even seen it in some organic products as well.
Well, continuing down the list.
Oh, actually, I'm sorry, the highest number was not nature's own.
The highest number is Sara Lee honey wheat at 191 parts per billion, according to the state of Florida.
So, Sara Lee, what'd you do, Sarah?
Did you drag your bread through glyphosate?
How'd you get so much glyphosate in your bread?
Well, clearly, it's from the wheat.
So, again, you don't know if this is going to be consistent.
In fact, there's another variety of Sara Lee bread called Artisano White that tested like no detectable glyphosate, none detected.
And also, the Pepperidge Farm brand had none detected in the farmhouse hearty white variety.
But Sara Lee honey wheat, oh boy, you hit the jackpot, 191 parts per billion.
Now, Wonder Bread, which I've always thought was the funniest name because I wonder if it's bread.
It looks like a sponge more than bread, you know.
Anyway, their classic white bread has 173 parts per billion, according to the state of Florida.
But again, it doesn't mean that every loaf of Wonder Bread in every store across America on every calendar day of the year is going to have that same number.
I can assure you, that number is going to vary.
It might be higher, might be lower, might be zero in some cases.
This is just a snapshot of one lot.
And I'm a little bit surprised that the state of Florida didn't publish the lot number I would have because that would help the company trace it back.
There's another brand called Dave's Killer Bread, and it had some glyphosate, but not nearly as much.
The white done right bread from Dave's Killer Bread is just under 12 parts per billion, which is pretty low, actually.
And their 21 whole grain bread is just over 10 parts per billion.
Now, personally, I'm not too concerned about 10 parts per billion.
You know, that's a very tiny amount.
I am concerned about, you know, 50 or especially 100 or 190 parts per billion.
Yeah, I don't want to be eating that.
But at 10 parts per billion, it's not the end of the world, you know, especially if you have other healthy dietary supplements and dietary habits and you have good fiber in your diet, etc.
Your body is able to detox from glyphosate.
But you know, you know what the issue is that I have with these breads?
Like, number one, look at wonder bread.
It's highly, highly processed.
So they take out all the really important nutrition from the wheat berries.
You know, they take out the healthy oils, they take out most of the vitamins and minerals, and they just get the endosperm portion of the wheat berry, which has the carbohydrates, mostly lacking nutrition.
And then, you know, they bleach it and they process it.
And you get something that's hard to call it bread.
It's more like a sponge cloth for mopping up gravy or something.
So I have an issue with that.
And the second thing that I've discovered about these breads, which is why I don't buy any of these breads, by the way, I don't buy store-bought bread.
You know why?
Because I've noticed that some of these brands, the bread never goes bad.
You can stick it in the fridge for six months and you pull it out.
It's still fine.
Like, wait a second.
That's not normal.
Because if I make real whole wheat bread in a bread machine, let's say, and then I stick that bread in the refrigerator, it might last a couple of weeks.
But after that, it's going to get eaten by mold, right?
Because it's real food.
So I think, this is just my theory, I can't prove it, but I suspect that across the bread industry that various manufacturers are putting in all kinds of antimicrobial chemicals that they're not listing on the labels so that their bread doesn't mold.
I'm not accusing any of the brands that I've just mentioned of doing that.
I'm just saying that across the industry, as an industry practice, I believe this is happening.
Because I don't have any other explanation for why nothing will eat their bread.
As in, you know, fungi and molds and bacteria.
If it's actually bread, something should be wanting to eat it.
And I've noticed that that almost never happens.
So I'm very skeptical of what's in their bread.
I'm more concerned about whatever that stuff is than I am about the low levels of glyphosate, although I am concerned about the 190 parts per billion of glyphosate.
Samples and Calibration Curves00:15:01
So anyway, this is why we test all of our products that we sell at healthrangerstore.com.
We test them all for glyphosate, and we've been doing that for years.
And what I want to show you right now is about 11 minutes of the video that I just filmed last week in our new laboratory.
We've moved to our new expanded lab.
And I want to give you a tour of some of the instruments that we use there because we've got multiple mass spec instruments.
It's larger than most university labs.
And in this portion, I'm just going to show you the instruments, not even the sample prep or the microbiology section or anything like that.
I'll show you that later.
But what I'm showing you here today is the instruments.
And I think you'll like it.
So here we go.
All right, welcome to the Health Ranger Lab.
This is where we test all of the food and supplements and other products that we sell at HealthRangerStore.com.
And we recently moved to this new laboratory facility where we have multiple mass spec instruments.
And I want to walk you through this lab and show you what it is we do here and show you some of the equipment that it takes to ensure that you're getting clean food and clean supplements.
So let's start this way.
We'll look at the ICPMS instruments over here.
We've got a couple.
These are inductively coupled plasma mass spec and they use food samples or other samples.
You could do hair and soils that are prepared in nitric acid.
And then it's injected through a plasma torch into the, well, the sample cone and then the quadrupole, etc. to the detector over here for M over Z detection.
What is M over Z?
Mass over charge.
And that determines the atomic mass of what you're looking at.
And that's how we can get readouts and reports like this.
We can see exactly the parts per billion of all these different elements.
Like here's silver and cadmium, etc.
Mercury, different isotopes of mercury in there.
But this is how it works.
And right here, the plasma torch is in there.
This is a sample introduction system.
This is the auto sampler robot.
And down on the floor is the rough pump that actually pulls the vacuum.
And that rough pump is loud.
And that's some of what you're hearing right now because other rough pumps are running in the lab.
It's always difficult to film in a real active working lab just because of all the background noise.
We also have ventilation systems here.
You can see there's a lot of outgassing of ventilation that's necessary for all these machines.
And by the way, the yellow foam on the walls, that's spray foam insulation so that we can temperature control this environment.
Here's our original mass spec instrument.
This is the one I actually learned on right here over 10 years ago.
And it's got a little bit of an older sample introduction plumbing system.
We put a Niagara on it.
It's got a little bit of an older robot.
But I just want to show you something.
You see the rust right there, all the oxidation of that grill on that fan?
That's just from nitric acid fumes.
So the nitric acid in here, it burns holes in all kinds of things, including circuit boards and clothing.
That's why people wear lab coats.
I would be, except I'm not handling nitric acid today.
Thank goodness.
Also, you know, you can kind of see the control system here.
These use basically the same software.
They can look at almost every element.
We have a multi-element standard, external standards with, I think, 32 elements is what we're looking at right now, including all the ones that you care about, lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury, as well as many nutritive elements such as zinc or even selenium or trace copper, for example.
We can see all of that in every sample.
All right, this is a nitrogen separation system here.
So outside this wall, we have air compressors and they pump in through these membranes here, which separate the nitrogen out of the rest of the atmosphere.
So nitrogen is really about 79% of the composition of atmospheric air.
The other roughly 20%, well, a little bit less, is oxygen.
And there's a little bit of argon and some other gases and so on.
But for example, if I turn this on here, this valve, see, that's pressurized because that's feeding nitrogen through these lines to all these other instruments.
Nitrogen is an inert carrier.
It's a carrier gas that's used in a lot of these mass spec instruments.
Here's a stack of some single quad equipment that we have right here.
We can use this for monitoring pesticides or herbicides or chemical markers in any kind of botanical product such as turmeric.
We can look at the curcumin or we can look at the purity of vitamin C or we can look at caffeine or anything like that.
So this is a single quad stack with the binary pump and the auto sampler and the single quad itself right there.
This is a really interesting combination that we're using now for glyphosate testing.
What's cool about this is that this combines ion chromatography.
This is a Metrome instrument right here.
It combines ion chromatography with single quad mass spec using this Agilent LCMS.
This is the IQ system.
So what's really great about this is you can get very low detection limits, like about one part per billion of glyphosate using this system because the ion chromatography separates the entire matrix out of the signal of your analyte.
And as a result, then your waste products are really clean and simple and you get very high signal to noise ratio on this.
So we actually developed this method recently.
Show you on the screen.
This is our calibration curve.
That's a really strong calibration curve there on different concentrations of glyphosate.
And these are some of the overlays of the peaks showing you the signal to noise ratio.
So we're going to look at some other instruments here.
This is just a sample extraction system from CEM.
It uses heat and pressure plus solvents and some filter paper to extract the analytes from food samples.
This one, this is pretty cool.
So this FMS system right here, this is used for extraction for dioxin testing.
So we're about to roll out really large-scale dioxin testing on not just our own food samples, but also off-the-shelf foods, especially animal products.
We're talking about eggs, milk, cheese, and meat, because that's where dioxins tend to concentrate is in, you know, the fats of animals.
So this FMS system here combined with these columns, this is an extraction system that uses basically just vacuums with special chemistry of the columns to trap the lipids and allow the dioxins to come through the sample in mostly water or other solvents.
And then there's usually an instrument right here, but it's being repaired at the moment.
It's called a super VAP.
It's a laboratory evaporator.
So we take the samples that come out of this system, we put them in the super vap, and then that dehydrates them down and we can sort of rehydrate back to a specific volume, such as 10 microliters or 100 microliters or whatever we want.
And by using this system, there's actually two super vaps that go here, we can get another four to five orders of magnitude of sensitivity out of our dioxin testing on our instrument that I'm going to show you, which is our GC instrument, using this sample prep method.
So it gives us extreme sensitivity, like parts per trillion sensitivity.
Let me show you the instrument that actually does that.
That's this right here.
So this is an agilent GC instrument or gas chromatography.
Now, GC, I mean, it's extremely useful for lots of things, especially certain pesticides and so on.
Here's the auto sampler for the GC.
And then here's the oven in here with the long column.
I think that column is like 60 meters in length and it's all wound up.
I don't want to open it.
And here you can see some of the peaks from the different samples that we've run.
I think these are calibration samples actually, or calibration standards.
And then, you know, we're actively working on this method right now.
We're replacing a couple of the parts in this instrument to get the peak shapes to look a little bit better.
There's some shouldering that's happening right now, but we're getting a really strong signal-to-noise ratio here of more than 25 to 1, even at 10 parts per trillion of dioxins.
So that means we'll be able to have extremely great detection at very low concentrations.
And soon we'll be bringing you lots of news about dioxin testing, and we'll be able to certify that our own products are dioxin-free.
And let's see, what else do we have here?
Oh, so this triple quad mass spec here is from a different company.
This is from Waters.
And this is a beast.
So this instrument, I actually worked on this method for a year and a half to develop this glyphosate quantitation method using a really unique chemistry here.
So we don't rely on what's called the post-column derivatization.
We don't need to do that.
Instead, we use a really unique column, which I'll just show.
There it is.
This is a very special column, very unusual.
It's not a C18 or anything like that.
And we have a very unusual chemistry.
This column is completely nuked by any alcohols, including methanol.
So the entire, the mobile phase and all the chemistry of this instrument has no alcohols in it at all, which is very unusual for any kind of liquid chromatography.
The auto sampler is right here.
Currently doesn't have any samples.
We're not in the middle of a run at the moment.
And the reason this is so large is because this is a triple quad mass spec.
So it has to draw an extreme vacuum.
So it's got a rough pump and it's got a really massive turbine pump inside to dump every last molecule of air that might find its way into the system.
And that happens also when you're introducing your sample into the system.
It's sucking in air to push an ion stream through the quadrupoles.
And that's why it has to pull a strong vacuum.
On the screen here, we were just pulling this up.
There's a typical peak that you see.
There's a calibration curve right there.
And these are standards right now.
This is not actually a food sample, but when it's live running, you'll see the actual food samples here.
Now, let me show you what's behind all of this, a little bit of behind the scenes, because this is kind of cool.
This right here is just a UPS.
This UPS is necessary to power this machine during any kind of power glitch.
And these UPSs are thousands of dollars each.
Here's a rough pump for this machine.
This rough pump is incredibly powerful, uses a lot of electricity, pulls a vacuum through this tube right here.
And that's why it has to have its own metal reinforcement spiral inside to prevent the tube from collapsing.
So this is on the back of the GC, which is our dioxin testing instrument.
So this is ultra-high purity nitrogen in this tank.
And then this is helium.
That's a lot of helium.
And this gets really, really hot.
So we have to vent it through this temperature reducing metal output.
And I don't know if you notice here, but there's, you know, every instrument has output.
And so we have to build pretty elaborate venting systems also to vent heat out of some of the instruments that get especially hot.
Like this GC gets hot and the ICPs get hot.
Although the LCs, they run pretty cool.
Anyway, this is the instrument room.
And next I'm going to show you the sample prep room of how we actually prepare food or other samples to be analyzed by all of these instruments for things.
We do heavy metals, we do glyphosate, we do atrazine, and we also do dioxins now.
And then there are other stations where we do things like aflatoxins and mycotoxins, listeria, E. coli, salmonella, yeast and mold, and microplastics.
So I'll be showing you some of that next.
All right, so there you go.
That's what I wanted to play for you today.
I've got more of the lab video to show you later.
But if you want to support us and you want really clean food, shop with us at healthrangerstore.com because everything that we make and sell, we test.
And we test for more than just glyphosate.
You know, depending on the item, we test for heavy metals, we test for aflatoxins, we test for mycotoxins, we test for atrazine, we test for, you know, whatever, listeria, E. coli.
There's a number of different things that we test for.
And you'll see that in our upcoming videos as well.
So as you can see from the video I just showed you, we're serious about this.
You know, that room of instruments you just saw there, that's millions of dollars of instruments.
It's no joke.
That's not some lightweight thing.
You know, it takes not only millions of dollars of instruments, but years of training and method development and validation and ISO accreditation.
So we are an ISO accredited lab.
That's the number is called ISO 17025 or 17025 as it's called.
And what that means is that we have to pass proficiency tests and everything's documented.
We have documented standard procedures, validation.
All of our methods are tested and validated, etc.
So it's a big deal.
It's a international ISO accreditation and it means that our lab results can be used as evidence in any court of law anywhere in the Western world.
And we're good at what we do because we've been doing it for more than a decade now.
And there's more coming.
I can't wait because we're going to be bringing you dioxin testing results and then also coming up microplastics analysis of various products as well.
So there's a lot of cool stuff coming.
Support us and get yourself some clean food, clean supplements, clean personal care products at healthrangerstore.com.
And thank you for your support.
I'm Mike Adams, the Health Ranger.
Eat clean, folks.
Eat clean.
Thanks for listening.
All right.
We are now continuing.
We've got so much to share with you today.
Cool Stuff Ahead00:12:52
Also, I've got an important message I wanted to bring you.
I think I'll put this at the end of the broadcast.
I've got an update on my own schedule and some new AI projects that we're working on.
Also, want to tell you that I'm cutting my interview schedule in half for the next several weeks, maybe a couple of months, because of the need to do some AI coding on some new projects that I'll be launching and also some major feature improvements on existing projects such as the Bright Learn book engine and our brightanswers.ai, which is our AI engine, our deep research engine, and so much more.
So I've got lots of stuff to share with you today.
But first thing I want to, I just want to cover the breaking Epstein news.
I just want to get it out of the way because it's so freaking disturbing.
I hate covering this topic, actually, but it just keeps getting crazier.
So yesterday, apparently there was something called the Super Bowl.
I don't pay attention to it.
I was talking to a friend earlier in the day, and they're like, which team are you rooting for?
I'm like, I have no idea who's even playing.
Why would you even ask me that?
You know, I'm here vibe coding.
I'm not watching the Super Bowl.
Whatever.
You know me.
I just, I don't do that.
So anyway, this ad, though, apparently aired on the Super Bowl, and it's an ad.
It's called Time for Truth.
It's an ad that's been put together by some of the Epstein victims who are demanding that Pam Bondi release the names of the predators in the Epstein files because you notice that they've redacted not so much the names of the victims, but they've redacted the names of the criminals, almost all of whom are tied, you know, to Mossad and Israel, Jeffrey Epstein, and lots of people in the Trump administration, etc.
Plus, plenty of Democrats on top of that.
Bill Clinton's in there.
Bill Gates is in there, but also Howard Luttnick is in there.
So lots of big names are in the files and the DOJ is just trying to cover it up.
So these victims have put together the following film and I want to play it for you.
Here we go.
just it's a it's not very long after years of being kept apart we're standing together Standing.
Standing together.
Because this girl deserves the truth, because she deserves the truth.
Because we all deserve the truth.
All right.
There you go. That's.
That's pretty powerful.
And, you know, Thomas Massey, I think the only member of Congress that actually demanded, or maybe there were two, two members of Congress that demanded the release of the Epstein files.
He says he's going to go in there and he's going to get to view the files unredacted.
And then he is going to start publicly naming names.
Isn't that interesting?
Yeah.
So there's a lot of fishy business with the Epstein files.
One of the bizarre things that was found in the files is that, you know, how Jeffrey Epstein himself was found dead on August 10th.
And what year was that?
2019, August 10th.
Yeah.
Well, one of the documents that was found in the Epstein files is an official DOJ press release about his death that was apparently a draft that was written August 9th.
And it even has a statement in there from Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Berman, who said, earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
The thing is, they wrote this a day before they found him.
And it's confirmed.
This is one of the documents.
So, of course, they knew in advance.
They knew what's going on.
Because Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
They replaced him with a body double or something or a mannequin.
And what do you call a mannequin of a pedophile?
A peticin?
I don't know.
They replaced him with a petticoat.
And he has been spotted recently living in Israel, according to many people.
There's a lot of photos.
Looks like he's living in Israel.
I mean, of course, where else would he go?
Because that's who he worked for.
The whole operation was Israeli blackbail to twist the arms of the Trump administration.
I mean, Pam Bondi doesn't work for America.
She works for Netanyahu.
Clearly works for Netanyahu.
Susie Wiles used to run Netanyahu's campaigns.
You know, I mean, there's like 30 plus members of the Trump administration that are named in these files, including Howard Luttnick.
So don't be surprised that, of course, they had a draft of Jeffrey Epstein's supposed death a day before he supposedly died because the whole thing was theater.
Of course it was.
But speaking of documents, there's a lot of crazy documents that have been found there.
And there's a whole new vocabulary that's emerging from this.
And you've heard the word pizza a lot if you've been looking at anything related to the Epstein files.
And you know that pizza means the sexual exploitation of children, right?
You know that?
Pizza, especially cheese pizza, because the CP also stands for child porn.
So that came out in the Epstein files.
But there are two other terms that have emerged.
Those terms are grape soda and jerky.
Now, I don't know what the grape soda is.
I really have no clue what that is.
I'm curious, but the jerky apparently refers to the flesh of children because there are cannibalism rituals that have been carried out by the people close to Epstein.
Not only would they, again, I'm sorry that this is just so mentally disturbed.
I'm not going to be dwelling on this.
I've only got one more thing to mention about this, and then we're going to move on.
But not only did they, you know, rape and exploit the children, and then they killed them, and then they ate their flesh.
Okay, so these are not only demonic pedophiles, they are demonic pedophiles who eat children.
I mean, that's what's coming out.
It's all over the Epstein files.
If you don't know that, then have a look because it's all in there in the files.
It's all been published by the DOJ.
That's what's bizarre.
This has been published by the DOJ.
Yes, every time they talk about jerky, they're talking about children's flesh.
So that's a term.
And again, I don't know what grape soda means.
What could it mean?
What is grape soda?
Seriously, what the hell is grape soda that involves pedophilia or something?
I have no idea.
I'm not sure I ever want to know that.
I mean, my only knowledge of grape soda, culturally speaking, is I'm pretty sure black people like to drink grape soda.
Is that your understanding too?
Like, black people really love grape soda.
That's not racist, by the way.
It's just an observation.
It's like, I don't know, white kids like Mountain Dew for some reason.
You know, it's just, it's a cultural thing.
And, you know, Latinos like type 2 diabetes.
So, you know, everybody's got their focus.
Sorry.
But there's something else that came out.
This is the last item here.
So another document was discovered where Jeffrey Epstein was ordering.
And this is on the day that the FBI opened a child sex trafficking case.
This is in 2018.
On that day, he ordered six 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid to be delivered to the Epstein Island, you know, where they rape and murder and eat children.
What do you suppose six 55 gallon containers of sulfuric acid would be used for?
You know, silence of the lambs.
I don't know.
Here's the thing.
I run a lab.
I work with acids, you know, all the time.
We work with nitric acid.
We work with hydrochloric acid.
We have at times worked with sulfuric acid.
But sulfuric acid is crazy strong.
Depending on the purity, it's way stronger than anything we use in the lab.
Sulfuric acid is very toxic, very dangerous, and it dissolves flesh and bones, folks, flesh and bones.
So if you were a satanic child-eating pedophile and you wanted to eliminate all the evidence of what you and all your cohorts have done on the island so you could get blackmail for Israel, which is exactly what this whole thing was, how would you get rid of the bodies?
It's sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid.
And I mean, I guess, my goodness, you'd need to wear some pretty heavy-duty, you know, protective gear and gloves and a face visor and everything.
You don't want that splashing on you when you're chucking in the uneaten parts of the children that you killed on the island, right?
I mean, again, I apologize, but this is what they did, okay?
This is what they did.
They got to get their jerky, you know.
They got to get their pizza, and then they got to dispose of the evidence because the FBI was starting to look at it.
So I got a question for you.
Who orders six drums of sulfuric acid?
Like, there's no reasonable need for that unless you're in industry or something.
Like, maybe you're a battery manufacturer or you make metal alloys or something, or I don't know, you're involved in some kind of like acidic cleaning of electronic components.
No, this would destroy that.
I don't even know what all the uses are.
Or, like in our lab, you might use sulfuric acid to dissolve rocks if you're doing geological sample analysis for the atomic elements that are in rocks.
But typically, we would use hydrofluoric acid, not even not sulfuric, but whatever.
Why would Jeffrey Epstein need six 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid?
There's only one explanation.
He's getting rid of the bodies because that's the level of criminality that these people operate at.
And these are the people who run America.
They run Israel.
They run Australia.
They run Canada.
They run the UK.
They run the entire Western world.
This is a network of satanic, demonic, child-eating pedophiles who dispose of bodies in acid drums.
It's like the worst horrors ripped out of a Hollywood horror show, you know?
But this is how they gathered blackmail on all the elite.
And all the, you know, all the senators, all the governors, all the presidents, all the prime ministers, all the, you know, all the leaders, all the tech leaders, you name it.
This is how they did it.
But they had to get rid of the evidence.
And sulfuric acid also destroys DNA, in case you're wondering.
DNA doesn't stand a chance.
All right.
So that's a sickening topic.
I hate even talking about it.
So let's switch gears here to something else.
My goodness.
Don't you hope the whole damn satanic system crumbles?
Don't you?
I mean, these are the worst people imaginable.
These are the worst people in human history that are running our world right now.
These are the people who start the wars.
These are people who ran the pandemic.
They ran COVID.
They ran the Ebola PSYOP.
Measuring Machine Intelligence00:07:02
Everything.
It's these people.
And they plan to stay in power, by the way.
They plan to crash the dollar, crash the economy, push you into a CBDC, push out extreme censorship.
You know, anything it takes.
Oh, also to ramp up mass extermination of humans, massive depopulation.
And why?
Well, because, of course, they're going to replace humans with AI and with robots.
Now, the robots will take a few years more, but the AI at the software level, at the cognitive level, guess what?
Something just happened.
Something big just happened on Friday, actually, which is the release of a new language model that is going to massively replace humans all across the workforce, all across middle manager jobs, decision makers, entry-level jobs, coders, managers.
I mean, you name it.
Something just happened on Friday.
And so I put together a special report on that.
And it's called, 2026 is the year that mass AI replacement of humans takes off.
And I've been using that coding tool, by the way, all weekend long.
And oh my God, oh my God, it's a breakthrough.
A friend of mine, Zach Voorhees, you know, the Google whistleblower, he posted on X.
He said he was using the tool.
He was testing it.
And he does this sort of self-correcting iteration loop procedure for AI agents to build things.
And he said that all the previous agents that he was using, he had them work on this one problem, try to solve this code.
And it took the best agent 200 loops, you know, 200 iterations to fix the problem.
He used this new tool.
It fixed it in four loops.
And Zach said it's magic.
It's got magic.
He doesn't mean literal magic.
He just means it's so good that now lots, I mean, probably hundreds of millions of human jobs that were safe a week ago are no longer safe.
This AI agent is unbelievable.
And just as a test, I also use it over the weekend.
I said, hey, I want you to build me a site template for this.
We're going to be launching natural.news as a new website with a whole new backend.
And I asked the agent, I just said, look, build natural.news with articles and videos and links to books and everything and go.
And it worked for 14 minutes.
And in 14 minutes, it had a template system that was like 95% amazing with a few bugs and glitches here and there.
I had to clean them up.
But this thing saved me, I don't know, maybe a couple of days of work in 14 minutes.
So you need to hear this report.
So let's go to that now and then we will continue on the other side.
Last year in 2025, you heard lots and lots of people saying that there was an AI bubble.
And they said that AI capabilities had plateaued and that it wasn't possible to make AI systems any smarter than where they were last year.
And of course, I said all that's nonsense.
AI is going to continue to get way more capable.
There's no bubble in AI cognition.
There may be a bubble in AI stock valuation of companies.
And actually, I'm certain that is true.
But when people say there's an AI bubble, what they're implying is that AI capabilities were overhyped and that it wasn't going to be able to deliver what was promised by the AI companies.
Well, of course, they were all wrong.
I'm Mike Adams.
I'm an AI developer slash adventurer, you could say.
And in today's podcast, I'm going to show you how AI is actually leaping forward in substantial ways this year, way ahead of where it was just really two months ago, actually.
And why there is not an AI capabilities bubble.
If anything, there's a human cognition bubble.
Human cognition is overrated.
And human cognition is about to be dwarfed by machine cognition.
And also, furthermore, just in case I haven't ruffled enough feathers yet, there's no such thing as artificial intelligence, that all intelligence is natural, including silicon intelligence.
It taps into a natural pattern of intelligence and cognition that exists throughout the universe that our brains also tap into.
So we're going to dive into all of this, but let's step back for a moment and start with the question, how do we measure machine intelligence?
And that's been a very difficult thing to do.
Namely, it's been difficult because the so-called benchmarks have been repeatedly just consumed by advances in AI technology.
Some of the benchmarks that were originally developed, let's say even three years ago, have already been saturated.
Even a desktop machine running open source models can score 100% on many of those older benchmarks.
And so over the years, there have been increasingly complex attempts to try to create benchmarks that would measure the problem solving or cognition or intelligence capabilities of AI models.
And the most notable of these, in my view, and remember, I am an AI developer.
I've built numerous platforms.
One of my platforms, BrightLearn.ai, has become the largest book publisher in the world.
We have over 31,000 books published now with the help of AI research and AI writing agents.
And all those books are available for free, by the way.
You can learn anything at zero cost at brightlearn.ai if you want to take advantage of it.
And yeah, I built that entire platform by myself with no other humans in the loop, just AI agents.
And actually, I built that platform with some AI agents that probably weren't ready yet.
And I paid the price for it.
But anyway, we'll get back to that.
I am an AI developer.
And so my opinion on this probably matters.
But you be the judge.
You tell me what you think.
So there's an exam called Humanities Last Exam, or HLE, as it's known in AI circles.
So HLE, it's a set of questions that you can ask any AI agent to answer these questions.
HLE Exam Questions00:14:36
And they're a mixture of mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, humanities, and other topics.
And these questions are designed to be answerable by experts in the field.
Typically, it would take a college graduate, maybe often a PhD, to be able to answer these questions correctly.
Let me give you an example.
Here's one of the questions from the biology category.
It says, hummingbirds with a podiformis uniquely have a bilaterally paired oval bone, a sesamoid embedded in the caudolateral portion of the expanded cruciate aponeurosis of insertion of M. depressor cowadae.
That's a species, I guess.
How many paired tendons are supported by this sesamoid bone?
Answer with a number.
Okay, so you and I, we don't know how many paired tendoi, uh, tendons, excuse me, how many paired tendons are in a hummingbird within this certain species.
We have no freaking idea.
Why?
Because we're not, we're not hummingbird experts, right?
You probably have to be a PhD in, you know, aviary sciences or what have you to get the answer, right?
So this is asked of the AI, and if they get it right, then they score, you know, plus one.
So here's a chemistry question.
The reaction shown is a thermal paracyclic cascade that converts the starting heptane into indiandric acid B-methyl ester.
The cascade involves three steps, two electrocyclizations followed by a cycloaddition.
What types of electro cyclizations are involved in step one and two?
And what type of cycloaddition is involved in step three?
Don't know.
Multiple choice, please?
Yeah, of course.
You and I don't know because we don't have PhDs in chemistry.
Now, maybe some of you listen, you're like, oh, I know.
That's the atroloid or whatever.
You've got the answer because you're a PhD.
The rest of us don't know.
And it goes on.
You know, there's questions in physics.
A block is placed on a horizontal frictionless rail and attached to a grid.
A massless rod of length R, and it goes on and on and on, right?
So these require expert level knowledge and problem-solving skills.
They're not just fill-in-the-blank type of answers, although, you know, perhaps some of them could be.
But many of them are problem-solving.
You have to understand the question.
You have to grasp it.
You have to work out the answer.
You have to maybe do some math.
Some of the questions are like this.
Using the Tiberian pronunciation tradition, identify all closed syllables ending in a consonant sound in this biblical Hebrew text.
And then it quotes from Psalms chapter 104, verse 7.
Yeah, how's your Tiberian pronunciation doing?
I don't know about you.
Mine sucks.
I don't know.
It totally sucks.
because I didn't even know there was Tiberian pronunciation.
But there you go, because I'm not a Bible scholar.
I'm not an ancient languages expert, right?
But if you go through all of these, this is called humanity's last exam.
Now, I want to show you a chart because it's believed that when AI can answer all these questions correctly, in other words, if it can get 100 out of 100, then that's, you know, I don't know what you want to call it.
Some people would say artificial general intelligence.
I think it's more than that.
Because general intelligence can't even answer some of those questions.
That's higher than general intelligence.
That's sort of artificial genius intelligence, maybe.
I wouldn't quite call it super intelligence, but it's, you know, it's more than just typical human PhD level intelligence, probably.
Especially to be able to answer all these questions across all these different domains, which no human can do.
Let's be honest.
There's no human.
Not even your favorite Jeopardy expert can answer all these questions because these are not Jeopardy questions.
All right, so I want to show you this chart.
And this chart starts in November of 2024.
And it really only goes through the end of 2025 because, well, I'll tell you shortly.
But you can track the progress of humanity's last exam through this chart.
So there we have GPT-4.0 was scoring like four or something at the end of 2024.
And then DeepSeek R1 came out.
That was a big deal.
And that was only one year ago, by the way.
That was a year ago.
And then DeepSeek R1, everybody was hailing its potential.
It's amazing.
It scored almost 10%.
Like, wow, this is amazing.
This is a reasoning model, you know?
And then after that, 03 Mini came along and beat that.
And then Gemini 2.5.
And then 03, that's from OpenAI, of course.
And then you see Grok 4 came in.
Grok 4, well, that was in July of 2025, just last summer.
Grok 4 started to score about 25%.
And then GPT-5 scored 25 or a little over 25%.
And you can see all the models here.
And then November of last year, Gemini 3 Pro managed to hit 38%, which was considered a breakthrough because I remember hearing many AI experts maybe 18 months ago who were thinking that we wouldn't be anywhere near this.
Even last year, they were predicting that maybe we would see a model beat 20% by the end of last year.
Well, Gemini 3 Pro has hit 38%, but that was in November.
And a lot has happened since then.
And specifically, Anthropic has released Claude Opus 4.6, which is the coding engine that I'm using now.
And I'm using it now for just a couple of days because it's only been out for a couple of days.
But guess what Opus 4.6 scores on this?
The answer is 53%.
So it's off this chart.
It's off the chart.
It's above the 50, which is the top of the chart.
So now for the first time, we have an AI model that has adaptive reasoning.
It has context compaction.
It can handle long, complex tasks.
It does its own internal planning.
It assigns its own sub-agents.
It does extraordinary things.
And it also calls external tools in order to achieve that score, by the way.
Tools could be, you know, special calculation tools, things like that.
So 53%.
Now, 53% is extraordinary.
So, for everybody last year who was saying there's an AI bubble and AI has maxed out and it's not going to get any smarter, okay, they're just wrong.
They're just wrong because here we go.
We've leapfrogged all of last year with an early release this year.
And guess what's about to come out?
Well, remember how a year ago there was DeepSeek R1?
Well, now we're about to get DeepSeek, it may be called Model 1 or R4.
And that is rumored to be coming out in just a couple of weeks.
Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on that.
I'm actually preparing some special workstations to run it.
Because DeepSeek version 4 is going to be something really special, I think.
And I think the world's going to be shocked.
But even if it's not, the world's already shocked by Opus 4.6.
And what we're finding out is that, no, we have not plateaued.
If anything, we're starting to take off on a parabolic growth of machine intelligence.
So again, every narrative that said, oh, we've reached a peak, that's turned out to be completely false.
And this new model, Anthropic 4.6, is so capable that this, just by itself, is going to replace a large number of current human jobs.
I mean, the economy in America and around the world is going to be so strongly impacted by this that 2026 is going to be the year that the masses realize that, holy cow, I've been replaced by a machine.
That's going to happen across the board.
I mean, not everybody, but it's going to happen across white-collar jobs, middle manager jobs, obviously entry-level jobs, coding jobs, decision-making jobs, and so much more.
So, as evidence of this in India, the tech stock market in India, which is a sub-index of Indian IT, just cratered just like four or five days ago, cratered, the worst fall since March 2020.
The so-called Nifty IT index dropped over 7%, wiped out $23 billion in valuation in a single session.
Infosys led the decline with a 7.3% drop, and then TCS and YPRO, two other prominent companies there, they fell a large amount.
Now, it is widely believed that this was triggered by Claude, Anthropic, which just released Opus 4.6.
Anthropic released something called Cowork, which is an agent that works on your desktop.
It's kind of like a version of Claude Code that can also mess with all your files and run your spreadsheets or build spreadsheets for you, things like that.
And this co-work item, it automates all kinds of tasks that typically have been pursued by companies offering software as a service or SAAS as it's called.
And this includes sales software, marketing software, legal data analysis, all kinds of different software.
Claude Cowork and Claude Code, now combined with Opus 4.6, has just made SAS or SAAS basically obsolete.
So companies like Salesforce, in my opinion, are probably doomed at this point.
And many other companies that offer software as a service, they're probably doomed.
So realizing this, investors initiated a massive sell-off of software stocks.
This hit not just India, like I said, but in the U.S. and Europe as well.
In India, the IT sector is about $283 billion. dollars a year.
And that sector relies primarily on large numbers of Indian engineers coding for clients all over the world.
And the advantage of Indian engineers is that they speak English, allegedly.
No, I'm kidding.
No, they do speak English.
And the disadvantage of Indian workers, and this is something that we've run into, I mean, we've hired workers from India in the past, etc.
Many of them are great.
Not trying to cast a shadow over all India people, but many of them, they run a bait and switch operation.
These hiring companies, they'll have a really strong technical person do the initial interview, and then they'll swap that person out with a much less capable person, but still keep the same name.
Or they'll have one capable person really working for four or five companies at the same time, billing all of them for full-time work, but actually not doing full-time work for all those companies, obviously.
So there's been a lot of scams, a lot of shady stuff when it comes to India-based coding people.
And again, I've worked with them.
I've worked with coders from all over the world, you know, from Asia and South America and Europe and India and almost everywhere, right?
I mean, everywhere that there's coders.
And you may recall that what I said just a few months ago is that I'm going to build this Brightlearn.ai book engine as a pilot project.
Well, actually, the first one I built has now become BrightNews.ai.
That was a simpler project.
And I wanted to see if I could build it myself with no engineers.
Now, we still hire engineers, by the way, just to be clear.
We have engineers that run our other platforms and systems.
So we haven't eliminated human engineers.
However, all the projects that I've built have been built solely with one human, that's me, and just AI coding.
Also, for the record, I've tried to use another AI developer in the mix.
And so far, that hasn't quite resonated yet.
Maybe it will.
But, you know, we'll see.
Everything that you see out there, everything that's been released, I built it myself.
That's BrightLearn.ai, BrightNews.ai, and brightanswers.ai.
And there's more coming.
So I'm the only human.
And intentionally, I did not hire any other human engineers.
And what I've found is that, yes, it was a struggle for the last few months, but I could do it.
I didn't need any other engineers.
AI Coders Work 24/700:07:46
And the advantage of using AI for coding is that they would work with me 24-7, even on weekends and holidays, because I'm pretty sure the people from India have like, I don't know, like 37 holidays a year or something like that.
Apparently, that's what they told me.
Can't work today.
We have another holiday.
Oh, really?
I didn't know about that holiday.
Yeah, special, special holiday.
Some of you who are Indian, you're laughing.
You know what I'm talking about because there's always another reason to eat some delicious food, you know?
So there's another holiday.
And then you combine that with all the other holidays in the Asian countries and the South American countries.
And it's like, I can never get the team together on any day to get a meeting or get any work done.
And what I found out is that in the time it takes me to tell a human what I want done, I can just tell an AI system and then it just does it.
So in other words, if I have to explain my project to another human, I've already wasted time.
It's better to go from my brain straight to AI agents and let the AI code it.
And they're faster.
They're a fraction of the cost.
Now probably, you know, less than 1% the cost of a human engineer, far less.
They work weekends, holidays, evenings.
Anytime I want to code, they're ready to code.
And with amazing new coding agents like, let's say, QuincoderNext or Quinn3 CoderNext, I can even code locally.
I don't even need Anthropic.
Although Anthropic is better at writing code, but I can write local code just using GPUs and local inference.
You know, if the internet's down or whatever, I can still code projects on my desktop using local AI.
So I'm not the only one, obviously, who's experienced this.
And what's happening now is that all over the world, people are calling up their Indian contractor company and saying, well, we don't need your people because we're using Claude code here.
And the fear of this, the reality of this, is striking home in India where they're now realizing that, oh my God, almost every coder in India is about to become obsolete.
And that's why stock prices across the IT sector there are collapsing.
And also, a similar thing is going to be happening in the United States.
In fact, some of it has already begun.
In the U.S., for example, LegalZoom, which is a legal tech company, its stock price fell, I don't know, 15 or 20% in the last few months.
And that's going to continue to accelerate.
Like, did you know, for example, that you can use Claude code and you can ask it to just build you a clone of, let's say, Photoshop, and it will write image editing software that you can run on your own computer.
So you don't need to buy Photoshop, you see.
Or you can ask it to write software that lets you edit WAV files so you don't need to buy audio editors.
Now, granted, if you ask it to write these things, it's going to write kind of a very basic version, and it might be buggy at first.
But it's a very common practice right now for people who are testing AI tools to ask it to write video games.
Like, hey, write a side-scrolling shooter game themed off of zombies versus predators or whatever.
Or you can ask it to write a first-person shooter like the old Castle Wolfenstein.
Or, you know, you could ask it to just write any kind of game you want, like a Space Invaders kind of video game.
And it would just create the whole game.
And so, you know, who needs to go out and buy video games, especially the more simple ones, when you can just ask AI to build it for you?
And if you think about it, that's what my book engine does also.
You don't need to spend a lot of money to learn something on a book.
You can just go to brightlearn.ai and you can ask it to create the book free of charge that you need, that you want, or that you want to share with other people.
And it will create the book for you at no cost.
In other words, I've reduced the cost of knowledge to zero.
And what Claude has done is it's reduced the cost of coding not to zero, but much closer to zero compared to human engineers.
So as a result, most human engineers, as of two days ago, or three or whatever, when Opus 4.6 was released, most human engineers across the planet are now obsolete, most of them.
And I've also noticed that Just because somebody is a good engineer doesn't mean they're any good at vibe coding.
It doesn't mean they know how to use Opus 4.6.
Now, I've become extremely good at vibe coding, but I'm kind of known as a super fast learner.
Anyway, that's why I've been able to gain knowledge in so many different areas, such as lab, mass spec analysis, versus coding, versus health and nutrition, etc.
And a lot of other people are learning how to do it, but many people in IT are not learning how to do it.
They don't know where to begin, and they're going to be left behind.
And so layoffs are already underway big time, big time.
And in India and elsewhere.
So Amazon India just slashed 30,000 jobs since about late last year.
Microsoft let go of about 9,000 people in India.
Meta cut about 600 people.
And lots of startups are just mass layoffs across India.
So it's hitting all these entry-level engineers especially.
And even though they're still graduating from the universities there, typically only about one in four graduates have job offers when they graduate from a high-end university there.
So you got three out of four that can't find jobs.
Now, a similar thing is happening in the United States, where middle managers are being replaced by AI and entry-level coders are being replaced by AI.
Now, of course, there are also new jobs.
So it's not all a bleak picture.
The new jobs are all jobs that involve AI.
So if you're an AI engineer or an AI developer, you know, you're worth a fortune.
Like, if I wanted to work in the corporate world, I could be hired by, you know, anybody.
Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, Google.
If I wanted to work for a tech company, you know, they need skills of people like me to be able to walk in here, say, whoa, you built the largest book publishing library in the world by yourself using just AI code.
And you have the world's largest curated index of research documents that encapsulates the world's knowledge.
Like, how on earth did you do that and name your salary?
Seriously, if you're in AI and if you have any skills, if you know what you're doing, you can get huge job offers right now.
So it's not all bleak out there.
It's just that you have to upgrade your skills.
Mass Unemployment Crisis00:15:48
Now, what I really want to point out here is that we're about to face mass unemployment across the civilized world, across our tech-driven society.
We're about to face mass unemployment.
And yet, there is no plan underway to restore or to maintain basic incomes for people.
You know, that seems like an issue because if people don't have incomes, how are they going to afford to buy things?
You know, how is Procter ⁇ Gamble going to make money selling people crap personal care products if they don't have the money to buy it?
Right?
I mean, you know, how is Kellogg's going to make money selling people crap breakfast cereals if they don't have the money, et cetera?
And for everything that's sold out there, I mean, the economy functions it this way, right?
Where manufacturers make stuff and then consumers buy it with their spare income, you know, whether it's food or clothing or vacations or fashion purses or whatever, or computers, you know, or cars, robots, you name it.
But as more and more people are displaced by automation, then they're not going to have the income to buy things.
And then, of course, what happens?
Well, the corporations that make things, they start to go bankrupt.
And I'm going to make a prediction here.
Ford will go bankrupt if it's not bailed out by the U.S. government.
Because Ford is, you know, sadly, the Ford company today is no longer much more than a shadow of what its original founder, Henry Ford, had in mind, you know, all-American-made automation in a sense, you know, assembly line.
Let's innovate.
Let's make great things for the masses, right?
That was Ford's original vision.
Now, Ford is, you know, it's woke and stupid, and it makes electric vehicles that suck, and the ergonomics are horrible, and it's, you know, years behind China in terms of vehicle design.
It lacks innovation.
It lacks any kind of leadership.
Ford's going to go bankrupt.
And the vehicles, they cost too much and they suck too much also.
And there are many examples of this where U.S. manufacturers are going to go belly up because of the falling discretionary income of people who can't afford to pay those inflated prices for inferior American-made products like Ford vehicles.
They just suck.
Sometimes I'm not even sure they put all the parts on before it leaves the factory.
You know, it's like, well, you know, just take a rain check on some of those bolts or whatever.
It seems that way to me.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it seems like.
And it's not just Ford.
It's other companies all across America.
So as these companies collapse, then all those people get laid off.
And then those people lose their jobs.
And in that case, they're losing their jobs not because of automation, but because of the economic implosion that's happening.
So as more and more people are replaced by AI, it has this cascading domino effect throughout the system where lots of people lose their jobs, people who were making the products that were provided to the people that used to get paid, but now are jobless because AI replaced them.
And this cycle is accelerating in 2026, big time.
So how are Western governments going to try to solve this?
Well, if you think about it, Western governments, I mean, pretty much all governments, they are clueless about economics.
Their solution to everything is just print more money, or currency, actually.
So that's what's going to happen.
They're going to have a UBI, a universal basic income, or some similar version of that.
They'll say, well, if you lost your job due to AI, or if you were making less than $100,000 a year and you lost your job or whatever the criteria is going to be, then here you get free money from the government.
And they're going to give you whatever, a couple thousand dollars a month, maybe enough to even pay for rent, maybe enough to pay for some food, maybe not.
Maybe it's just a supplement.
But for some people, possibly they could live off of that.
And that's called universal basic income.
just pay money to everybody because so many people are displaced by automation.
And when the robots really get into the workforce, that's a few years down the road, then this whole phenomenon will be accelerated even more quickly.
Right now, we're only talking about software automation or digital work, cognition involving computers.
That's a big part of the workforce, but it's not all of it because we have all the labor jobs, all the agriculture, all the factory jobs, everything else.
That's going to take robotics, and that's still many years away.
That's not going to happen this year.
No, not even next year.
But AI takeover for cognitive jobs, yes, that will happen this year.
It will accelerate and it will shock most people.
So anyway, the universal basic income, if you start to do the math on that, you realize that, holy cow, this is going to be a problem.
So if you think about it, if you provide a universal basic income of just $1,000 a month, which is not even enough to cover groceries these days, it seems, to, let's say, just one-third of the U.S. population, okay, let's say 100 million people, all right?
$1,000 a month and 100 million people.
And of course, there are 12 months in a year.
So if you do the math, that's $1.2 trillion a year.
$1.2 trillion.
So where's the government going to get $1.2 trillion, which is roughly about the budget of the Pentagon?
I mean, which is the largest budget in the U.S. budget.
So just to cover one-third of the population, you would have to print the currency of $1.2 trillion a year to hand it out to people who are no longer working.
The problem is that since those people are no longer working, they're no longer paying taxes into the system.
So not only are you draining out another $1.2 trillion per year, but you're also losing out on the income that those people would have normally created, which easily we could estimate could be another trillion off of taxes.
But let's say it's only 800 billion.
I say only.
But that means essentially there's $2 trillion a year in economic losses to the federal government where they have to print $2 trillion a year as new debt, which means they have to also find lenders who will buy the treasuries of another $2 trillion a year in order to fund this currency creation.
Well, there are no such buyers.
There's nobody left on the planet who wants to line up and buy a couple more trillion dollars of U.S. treasuries.
In fact, countries like Japan are trying to get rid of it and China's getting rid of it.
And most countries around the world are dumping U.S. Treasuries.
So there's actually no way unless you're going to just print the currency to buy your own treasuries, which is happening, but you'd have to scale that up to the point of just Weimar hyperinflation at that point to the tune of trillions of dollars a year.
And at that point, then the erosion of the purchasing power of the dollar would be so great that even working people would be thrust into poverty.
Even taking home $100,000 a year salary would no longer be enough to afford to live.
You would live in poverty making $100K very quickly.
Some people argue we're already there, but surely we would be there very quickly in this scenario.
So the bottom line is you're going to have ultimately hundreds of millions of Americans who are unemployable and the government has to, you know, to keep them from revolting or uprising in the streets, you're going to have to pay them off somehow.
You're going to have to give them a UBI.
And then what are they going to do?
You know, so they collect money from the government and what they're sitting around twiddling their thumbs like, what am I doing?
Like they've lost their identity.
They no longer are tied to work.
Even high-level people who used to be, you know, physicians or attorneys or architects or coding experts, engineers, whatever, they're all out of work.
These are smart people with college degrees, etc.
They're all out of work.
They're sitting around like, what's the point of living?
You know, so you're going to have mass suicides.
This is already happening in India.
People are just going to say, well, the world no longer needs me.
Goodbye.
And they're going to check out.
You're going to see a massive increase in mass suicides.
And for those who don't kill themselves, they're going to start to join more uprisings and revolts.
So what we're looking at, because of AI automation replacing human workers, you're going to have mass destabilization of so-called democracies.
And the response to that, what's it going to be?
What do you suppose?
What do governments do when the people start getting a little riley?
What do they do?
They start cracking down.
They start censoring speech.
They start rolling out thugs like ICE that break into your house and arrest you and kidnap you or just shoot you in the streets.
And you do know that Homeland Security under Trump is spending $55 billion to build mass concentration camps all across the country.
It's in over 20 states.
And these concentration camps, some of them can hold almost 10,000 people each.
Now, the Trump administration says, well, they're for processing illegals.
Yeah, you think so?
You think they need places for hundreds of thousands of illegals to stay indefinitely?
No.
This is for Americans.
This is for Americans who are protesting because their jobs are obsolete and they have no incomes and they have no purpose in life.
And there's going to be a mass uprising.
And this will happen sooner than you think.
We could start to see these kinds of protests even before the end of this year and certainly well into 2027 and 2028.
You're going to see a lot of these.
And you're going to see protests against AI, against the machines, you know, down with the robots and things like that.
And, you know, people like Elon Musk, it's very easy for them to say, well, we'll just have a UBI.
Everybody will get money and everybody will get paid and you never have to work.
Okay, well, that sounds like a really nice fairy tale.
The problem is that, again, you can't actually pay everybody all the money without completely destroying the value of your currency.
And secondly, people need a purpose in life.
It's not enough to just collect money and what, sit around at home all day, binging on Netflix and video games or whatever it is people do.
I mean, that's not going to cut it for people.
They need purpose.
They need to do something useful with their lives.
Otherwise, they find stuff to do.
Stuff that's usually involving, you know, like throwing Molotov cocktails at government buildings and things like that.
So you're going to have a very unruly population in this scenario.
And that's why, in my view, that's why the concentration camps are being built.
They're planning on the mass protest.
And not just protests against ICE, but protests against AI.
That's what's coming.
So now, when you get back to that benchmark titled Humanity's Last Exam, see, I would add to that, and I would say that name, that name kind of rings a bell, except it's kind of humanity's last test.
Will humanity remain relevant or will humanity, you know, survive this mass replacement?
And I think that sooner or later, the answer becomes apparent that yes, some will, some will, most will not.
Because sooner or later, every government realizes that you can't afford to keep paying all these people.
And so, what governments do well, what they always do, I mean, think about it.
Let me ask you: what do governments do when they want to get rid of a lot of their people, especially young males?
What do they do?
They start a war and then they ship all their young males off to war to get killed.
And then, you know, the situation resets and the most unruly uprising protesters, you know, they're all gone.
And what's left behind is mostly the women.
And they're not as, you know, they're not as animated to protest against the government.
So war is coming because war is a convenient way for governments to achieve mass extermination of their own people so they don't have to pay them a UBI.
And it's a very convenient thing to do.
It might even be coordinated where the U.S. and China, their leadership gets together and say, hey, let's fake a war.
And then, you know, we'll have a bunch of people killed off in America.
We'll blame China.
And then in China, they'll have a bunch of people killed off there and they'll blame America.
And then each leader can say, oh, we're protecting our people and all the deaths are due to the other guy across the Pacific.
Yeah, you don't think they do that?
Much of history is theater, folks, including a lot of elements of World War II.
So yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing they can do and might do in order to reduce their populations.
Or they might release another pandemic, biological weapons, or a cyber attack, a power grid failure to be blamed on conveniently Russia or China or North Korea or Iran, maybe.
Oh, those Iranian hackers, they shut down the power grid.
And that's why everybody died.
Well, that's a convenient narrative.
But it could be that the American government is shutting it down itself as an engineered way to get rid of maybe a couple hundred million people who are no longer employable.
You see?
So any way you look at it, eventually this comes down to mass extermination carried out by the governments, which is called democide.
Democide.
Yep.
Keep Learning, Stay Informed00:03:45
And democide's about to accelerate.
So that's the conclusion of where this is going.
So pay attention.
I will do my best to keep you informed and alive.
I'm confident that you and I can survive this.
We can navigate it.
We are way ahead of the curve.
Most people have no clue what's coming.
They'll be the first to be culled out of the system, obviously.
They have no preparation.
They have no stored food.
They have no money.
They don't own gold or silver.
They're not, you know, they're watching CNN or Fox News.
They're just kind of NPCs.
They're going to be the easiest for governments to eliminate.
But you and I, as I've said before, we are hard to kill, actually.
We're resilient.
And we're the kind of people that build societies.
We build civilization.
I'm a builder.
You know, I'm an AI builder.
And I build for the benefit of humanity.
So if you think about it, world governments, they actually want people like me and you to stick around because we're going to have to rebuild a lot of stuff.
And they need visionaries who know how to build things, which is not the masses.
So, you know, the consuming masses will be considered expendable by most governments and they will be exterminated.
And it's going to be pretty easy to not be in that category, I believe.
But it will be the most bizarre time of history that really our country has ever gone through or even our world has ever experienced.
I'm not saying this is going to be a walk in the park.
It's going to be crazy.
It's going to be wild.
But point number one, don't join the protests or you'll end up in a death camp, right?
Point number two, keep learning, stay informed here.
I'll keep you posted.
Use my AI tools like brightanswers.ai and brightlearn.ai.
Follow the news at brightnews.ai and you'll be ahead of the curve.
And of course, I'll bring you expert interviews and expert analysis and expert tools to allow you to easily navigate what's coming.
So it's not doom for people like you or me.
It's only doom for the ignorant, which of course is most people.
But the thing is, they don't know it's doom.
And if you tell them, they get mad.
So don't even, you know, it's not worth it.
Focus on your own preparedness with the confidence you can make it through all of this.
Just be prepared and learn about AI.
Learn how to use AI.
You're going to need to.
You're going to need to talk to robots.
You're going to need to talk to software agents.
You're going to need to up your own skills in whatever you do, whether it's a corporation or a nonprofit or your own business or just your advocacy, whatever it is.
You're going to need to up your skills big time.
So keep learning.
Keep sharing.
Help others get up to speed.
Help others be free.
And we'll make it through this together.
And also, there will be a lot of available parking when this is all said and done.
The problem is there won't be any local businesses running.
A lot of abandoned malls, let's say, or strip malls and parking spaces that, I don't know, might be used for like shanty towns or something like that.
We'll see.
We'll see where it goes.
Yeah, you don't want to hang out near those, by the way, because of something called cholera.
Yeah, you know, sanitation is a good thing to have.
And that's going away for a lot of people.
So be careful.
All right.
Stay informed.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams, the AI adventurer.
And you can watch all my podcasts at Brighteon.com.
Take care.
All right.
Welcome back.
Bunker Buster Bomb Fail00:02:49
You know, there's something else that just happened recently that's a pretty big deal.
And it has to do with the fact that the U.S. dropped these bunker buster bombs on the Ford nuclear enrichment facility in Iran last June.
And these bombs are called the GBU-57 bunker busters.
And it turns out that we're now learning that one of those bombs failed to detonate.
So it penetrated the ground.
It went deep under the ground, but it did not detonate.
And what happened next, according to sources that you'll hear about here shortly, is Iran retrieved that bomb and they reverse engineered it.
So they found out about the special alloys and the materials and the whole blueprint.
I mean, because it was a fully intact bomb.
The guidance, the navigation, everything.
That's a big bomb.
It's a 30,000-pound bomb, by the way.
So now Iran, theoretically, has the capability to build its own bunker buster bombs.
And I've got a special report on that that I want you to hear.

U.S. Bunker Bombs for Iran?00:16:10
So I had to fact check this because it was, it sounded so incredible, but it appears to be confirmed that when the United States dropped these so-called bunker buster bombs on Iran last June, those bombs are called GBU-57 or massive ordnance penetrators.
They're the 30,000-pound bunker busters.
Well, it turns out that one of them did not explode.
And as a result, then Iran retrieved the bomb completely intact.
And it's presumed, it's being claimed that Iran is reverse engineering the bomb and is gaining essentially billions of dollars of bunker busting technology that Iran can put into its own missile systems and warheads in order to attack Israel and to blow up the underground bases where the war criminals hang
out.
out, like Netanyahu.
So this story, it's been covered widely, but I found it in TurkeyToday.com.
And it says that the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Aragchi revealed that unexploded bombs remained at the nuclear facilities struck by the United States during the so-called 12-day war.
And that this created safety concerns that must be addressed before international inspections can proceed.
So Iran is looking at this and saying, well, we can't have inspectors in here because this is an unexploded bomb.
But that seems to be just being kind of used as an excuse to delay the inspectors.
The same guy, the foreign minister, Arag Chi, that's a difficult name, said that he has alerted the International Atomic Energy Agency, the IAEA director, General Rafael Grossi, asking whether there's a special law or a protocol for visiting nuclear facilities that have been targeted by military strikes.
He said, quote, I told him that there needs to be a protocol before visits because there are safety and security issues.
There are unexploded bombs, and there are matters we need to agree on.
The United States, just to back up, the United States claims it used B-2 stealth bombers to completely destroy Iran's Ford nuclear enrichment facility, which is under a mountain.
And they claimed also Natan's and Isfahan nuclear facilities.
And, you know, Trump claimed at the time, we destroyed everything.
It's completely obliterated.
And Netanyahu can rest easy that Iran has no nuclear program remaining.
But then, of course, now Trump is saying, well, Iran has to agree to dismantle its nuclear program, even though we were told that it was completely destroyed.
So what's up with that story?
Something's very odd there.
But the big news here is that it appears the United States delivered this intact bunker buster bomb.
Now, according to Iran's own media, the Tehran Times, there's a claim there that Iran has already, quote, successfully reverse engineered the giant munition.
And that same report also says that Iran is going to incorporate the guidance technology and the penetration technology, which involves a lot of special alloys, into its own ballistic missile warheads, including the Fatah hypersonic missiles.
Now, that's important to note because those hypersonic missiles cannot be stopped by Patriot interceptors or Patriot missile batteries.
Now, just to be clear, Iran is not going to be able to build a 30,000-pound bunker buster because it doesn't have any aircraft that can carry it or deliver it, but it doesn't need to.
Iran has very advanced ballistic missiles as well as hypersonic missiles, missiles that did a tremendous amount of damage to Israel last year.
And it was only Netanyahu calling Trump and basically begging Trump to intervene and stop Iran that probably saved Israel from near total destruction at the hands of Iran.
So there's no question Iran has very capable missiles.
And also, they already took out some, I forgot what they were, like special intelligence unit building, a building right there in the middle of Tel Aviv that had some underground floors, was at least mostly destroyed by Iran during that, leaving two apartment buildings almost unharmed that were adjacent to that.
So Iran has very precise targeting capabilities.
When you add to that the bunker buster technology, then Iran could legitimately start destroying underground bunker facilities, which, of course, that's what Netanyahu and all the other Israeli war criminals, that's what they retreat to anytime there's kinetic exchange.
But here's a question I have.
See, I think Iran has, I think they have nuclear weapons.
In fact, I'm certain of it.
I think they have nuclear warheads.
I don't know that they've attached them to anything.
They're not active probably, but they're smart engineers.
They've figured this out.
And I think that they could put a nuclear warhead now combined with bunker buster technology to deliver a missile that penetrates a bunker and then detonates the nuclear warhead underground in maybe Tel Aviv or one of the military bases around Israel.
And by detonating a nuclear weapon underground, that would, of course, greatly limit the amount of radiation fallout.
So it wouldn't affect Lebanon or Jordan or maybe Egypt or whoever might be nearby.
Rather, the radiation would stay mostly underground.
Not entirely, but mostly.
Also, it would do a tremendous amount of damage, obviously, depending on the size of the nuclear warhead.
But it's not difficult to imagine that Iran could build, let's say, I don't know, a 500-kiloton nuclear warhead, which is larger than Hiroshima, or a one-megaton nuclear warhead.
The technical difficulty of that is well within the reach of Iranian engineers.
So, in other words, it looks like the U.S. just gave Iran last summer the technology that Iran needs to nuke the underground bases or bunkers in Israel, which would potentially just turn all the war criminals into atomic dust or something, or glowing dust.
Hey, Mr. Netanyahu, you look glowing today.
Oh, wait.
What just happened?
Now, my only question in this is I'd be skeptical that reverse engineering this technology and then adapting it and actually making it active on your own missiles.
I'm skeptical that that could happen in anything less than a couple of years.
That seems like a pretty big project.
So I don't think that Iran has bunker busters right now, but they could very well be on the path to, let's say, using some of the bunker buster technology that they found in this bomb.
Now, I did a little research on this, and it looks like the bunker buster bomb, again, the GBU-57, uses a special kind of steel alloy called Eglin steel alloy to allow it to achieve this deep penetration.
And manufacturing that alloy, I don't think, is something that Iran is capable of doing.
But perhaps with the help of the Russians and the Chinese, perhaps they could build an infrastructure to be able to achieve that over time.
But it's not something you can just replicate easily.
And that seems to be a key component of this.
So it's possible that even if Iran completely reverse engineers this bomb, it doesn't mean they can make a carbon copy of it themselves.
Perhaps they could use other materials that are more readily available and have less penetration capability, for example.
But that is still a very big deal.
I mean, this was essentially a technology transfer.
You know, you drop bombs on your enemy, they're supposed to blow up.
And when they don't blow up, you've just given your enemy the bomb.
And they have, you know, apparently they've reverse engineered it.
So there you go.
That took the U.S. military, I believe, well over a decade and billions of dollars of investment and testing.
I mean, giving Iran the bomb is actually better than giving them the blueprints.
They have the physical bomb.
They can, you know, take it apart, examine it.
They can look at the guidance systems.
They can look at, I don't know, depth, the depth management systems or however that works.
I mean, how does the bomb know how deep it is?
How does it know when to explode?
That's a very complicated question, I suppose.
I mean, first it hits the ground, and then it's supposed to go, you know, deep under the ground.
How does it know how deep it is?
I don't know.
There's clearly some mechanism that didn't work.
So maybe that's more complicated than we ever suspected.
In any case, Iran has received this technology transfer, and Israel is probably going to see some of this in the years ahead.
Meanwhile, Iran continues to insist on its right to engage in peacetime nuclear energy development for its own infrastructure, which is a right that all nations enjoy under the UN Charter, by the way.
It turns out that the United States has no right whatsoever to tell Iran that they can't have a nuclear power program or nuclear enrichment or even nuclear weapons for that matter.
I mean, by what right does the U.S. claim to be able to dictate to the world which countries can have nukes and which countries cannot?
You know, that's how nukes ended up in the hands of Israel, in total violation of U.S. law, by the way, because U.S. law prohibits the U.S. from transferring such weapons of mass destruction to nations that are involved in genocide, war crimes, and ethnic cleansing.
So the fact that the U.S. gave these weapons to Israel is a violation of U.S. law.
That's why there's been no official announcement or confirmation that Israel has those nuclear weapons.
But they do.
We all know they do.
And Israel is engaged in more violence against civilians and mass slaughter of women and children than any other country in the world for a long time here.
I mean, you'd have to go back to world wars to find something similar.
So if anybody should not have nuclear weapons, it's Israel.
And when Trump's people go to Iran and say, hey, we need you to agree to dismantle your nuclear power program, to never have nuclear weapons, and to also give up all your missiles.
You know, Iran's obvious response would be a couple of things.
Like, number one, well, of course we can't give up our missiles.
If we do, then you're going to bomb us and destroy us.
And so will Israel.
Our missiles are our only defense against Israel, a nation that commits genocide and war crimes.
And secondly, Iran's response would probably need to be something along the lines of, okay, if you want us to give up our nuclear program, then you have Israel give up all its nuclear weapons first, because Israel has nuclear weapons and Israel is a threat to us.
So of course, of course, the U.S. would never demand that Israel give up its nuclear weapons.
So why should Israel have nukes and the U.S. have nukes, but Iran shouldn't?
You know, by what international law does the U.S. have the right to dictate who gets what kind of weapons, especially if those weapons are developed domestically.
So that's something to consider.
It's just like Trump telling India, oh, you can't buy oil from Russia, or telling China, you can't buy energy from Iran.
It's like, wait a minute, When did that become your beeswax?
You have no right to tell every country in the world who they can buy from, who they can sell to, what technologies they can develop.
When did God put the U.S. in charge?
Never, never.
Even Aragchi says that the negotiations with the U.S. will only succeed, quote, when the rights of the Iranian people are acknowledged and respected.
Well, that's never going to happen from the U.S. point of view.
He says knowledge cannot be eliminated through bombardment.
Technology cannot be destroyed.
Technology exists, knowledge exists, and there is no alternative to negotiation.
And what he's saying there, in my view, is that Iran knows how to build nukes.
They know how to enrich nuclear fuel because they're not stupid.
And you can't take that knowledge away through assassinations and carpet bombing the surface or the cities.
It doesn't work.
So the U.S. is in a very tough spot, and so is Israel.
If the U.S. attacks Iran, then, oh, and it looks like the U.S. is trying to pull together some kind of a ground assault force, which sounds like mass suicide.
But if the U.S. attacks Iran, then Iran is going to obliterate Israel and probably attack U.S. military bases in the region, as well as possibly damage or even sink U.S. naval vessels.
And anybody trying to physically attack Iran with ground troops, I mean, good luck.
Good luck with all the mountains.
Good luck with all the deserts.
I mean, you would need millions of soldiers to go in any kind of a ground assault to try to capture Tehran.
And I'm looking at a map here.
Iran borders so many different countries, Iraq and Turkey to the west, the little piece of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Let's see, the Caspian Sea touches it on the north.
And then also the north, Turkmenistan, to the east, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Challenges of Invading Iran00:09:35
And then, of course, Iran's southern coast goes along the Persian Gulf and then the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman.
So no wonder Iran is just such critical real estate for the world.
I mean, routes, resources, sea lanes, energy routes, especially.
Iran's critical and it's large.
And so if Trump or if Hegseth and the DOD, if they think they're going to march in there with a bunch of soldiers, like 50,000 soldiers, you better bring 50,000 bodybacks is all I'm saying, because I don't think anybody's getting out of there.
They're going to get just destroyed.
If you invade Iran on foot, you're going to get destroyed.
And plus, on top of that, if you invade Iran, I mean, it's totally illegal.
There's no justification for invading Iran, especially for U.S. troops, because Iran poses no real threat to America.
This is just Trump doing the bidding of Israel, obviously.
But if the U.S. invades Iran, China and Russia are not going to sit back and just do nothing.
They're going to get active and they're probably going to start attacking U.S. naval vessels and U.S. military bases with everything from Russia's Oreshnik systems to China's aircraft carrier destroying missiles.
We could see a big portion of the U.S. Navy sitting at the bottom of the Arabian Sea, along with tens of thousands of sailors or something.
So that's what the DOD is begging for if they try to attack Iran.
Plus, energy prices would skyrocket all over the world because of the Strait of Hormuz, which has been mined with mines that can be released from the ocean floor, by the way.
The mines are already there.
And they're intelligent mines.
This isn't the old World War II floating mines.
These are intelligent mines.
They can be released to hit certain ships.
So, you know, they can selectively block the Strait of Hormuz to Western ships, but they can allow friendly allies, that is, allies of Iran, to be able to move through the strait.
You see what I mean?
So, plus, Iran has a massive battery of land-based missiles that can attack U.S. naval vessels with quite some distance, like maybe up to a couple thousand kilometers.
I'm not an expert on the missile ranges, so that might not be right, but clearly the U.S. Navy is trying to keep its distance.
They don't want to get too close to the coastline of Iran.
So, you know, what are you going to do?
Probably the only option the U.S. has is to keep its submarines and ships far away, you know, hang out as far away as possible, and then just launch a bunch of Tomahawk missiles and strike a bunch of targets and claim victory and then go home.
And Trump will say, we won, you know, and it won't matter at all.
It won't actually stop Iran's nuclear program or anything.
But it will piss them off.
And they might launch against Israel.
So, you know, if Trump is crazy enough to order that, then probably Israel is going to end up being largely destroyed.
And I guess Netanyahu and his fellow war criminals will have to live underground for a while, which is fine.
I mean, they've got their trafficked children down there and everything to keep them occupied because that's what they do.
Just play out a bunch of Jeffrey Epstein scenarios down there.
Wait for the bombing to stop, and then they can, you know, resume their evil activities on the surface.
So they could survive it.
The leaders can, but the country, you know, the infrastructure, I don't think so.
You know, for one thing, there's only a few water desalination plants that provide water to the whole country.
And those are well known.
They're not mobile, obviously.
They're stationary targets.
Iran can take them all out.
And there's nothing the U.S. can do to stop it.
And there's nothing Israel can do to stop it.
So any attempt to attack Iran or to invade Iran or to bomb Iran is very likely going to result in a catastrophic level of damage on Israel and probably U.S. bases in the U.S. Navy.
That's where this is going.
So let's hope that there's peace.
Let's hope that cooler heads prevail.
But, you know, again, the big problem here is that the entire Trump administration is, I mean, let me say this carefully.
The people who run our country are pedophiles and Satanists.
And most of them have been compromised by Jeffrey Epstein, who's run by Mossad.
So Israel is actually controlling the U.S. military and the U.S. presidency at this point.
So Netanyahu's calling the shots.
If Netanyahu wants the U.S. to start bombing Iran, well, that's exactly what's going to happen sooner or later.
In fact, Netanyahu just gave a speech where he promised that if the U.S. didn't bomb Iran, or if the world didn't come to the aid of Israel, then the world was going to pay a price.
Yeah, I wonder what that could be.
Do they have more files to release?
Do they have more markets to crash?
What do they have?
Do they have videos?
Yeah, of course they do.
They've got all kinds of videos.
They're going to start rolling them out, maybe.
You know, one day, one guy.
Like, oh, my God.
And then, you know, nations start collapsing.
The UK, Australia, the U.S. government, you name it.
Just collapse, collapse, collapse.
Netanyahu's got all the cards because he's got all the blackmail.
Because again, Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent.
So all the videos that he got, all the blackmail of all the world leaders raping little kids, that's all in the hands of Netanyahu.
And you can bet he's leveraging that blackmail to the max right now.
But that doesn't make Iran conquerable.
I mean, you can have all the blackmail in the world.
It doesn't mean that Iran can be destroyed because you just don't have the means to do it.
And if you try to do it, you're going to be destroyed.
That's kind of where we are in history right now.
You know, the pedophiles are trying to destroy Persia.
Seriously, you know, the Satanists are trying to destroy Iran.
And that's why Iran calls the West, you know, the great Satan, because the West is run by Satanists.
You know, they're not wrong about that.
That's actually a very accurate description.
What else would you call people that rape and traffic children all day long, you know, and use it as blackmail material?
Satanists and pedophiles.
So Iran knows this.
Russia knows this.
China knows this.
And now most Americans are figuring this out too.
So we should all stand for peace, no war.
Tell Israel to go pound sand, stop sending weapons and money to Israel.
Cut them off completely.
If they want to go fight Iran, send your own people.
They won't last a week.
You know?
Stop asking U.S. soldiers to bleed for Israel all over the deserts of Iran if they even make it that far, which is highly doubtful.
So I call for peace and I call for sanity.
But then again, I'm not in charge, so we're probably not going to get that.
But we'll see what happens with Iran's reverse engineering of the bunker buster weapons and their advancements in missile technology and also their advancements in anti-stealth radar technology because of China's systems that they delivered to Iran, you know, traded that for oil.
And I covered that last week.
That's also a massive factor in all of this because if the U.S. tries to send stealth bombers over Iran now, those stealth bombers could easily be shot down because they're no longer stealth.
The stealth factor is done.
China's radar can detect them up to 500 kilometers away because of the advanced radar, you know, UHF and VHF radar systems.
So Trump's in a tight spot here, huh?
Very tight spot.
And, you know, I don't know if there's something like, you know, pedophile power that he can invoke or something with the military.
You know, go, go, pedos or something, like a magic pedo ring that they can turn on, activate like wonder powers, pedo powers, you know, pedo pan, peanut butter, whatever.
I don't know if there's some magical satanic pedo power thing, but I doubt it.
And so I don't think they can defeat Iran as much as they hope to.
In fact, I think the Pedo's are going to be defeated because they're being exposed.
I think much of the Western world is about to collapse.
The currency is about to collapse.
The governments are about to collapse and much more.
Customized Information for Billion Speakers00:06:30
So we'll talk about that in another broadcast.
Thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams.
You can catch all of my articles at naturalnews.com and you can catch my videos at brighteon.com.
And pray for peace.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right, a couple of notes about my own schedule and some of our AI projects and some new things that we have coming up.
First of all, I'm going to be sharply reducing my interview schedule for at least a month or so so that I can focus on the vibe coding projects, which are the new AI platforms that you know and love, like BrightLearn.ai.
I've got new things to do there, mostly focused on audio books.
I have to do some hardware installs.
I've got to do some GPU upgrades.
I've got to build a bunch of code for automation.
On top of that, we're going to be launching some new content sites and we have to finalize our new video site, which is brightvideos.com.
And I just did some backbone upgrades last night and they look great.
So I'm about to roll that out with all kinds of new technology there.
That's going to be pretty, you'll love it.
It's very amazing.
For example, you'll be able to ask our AI engine about any video.
So if you watch a video, you're like, hey, that's a really great interview, but I have a question.
You can ask, there's going to be a ask box right there.
You'll be able to type in your question and then it'll be answered by brightanswers.ai, which is our AI research engine.
I've got a lot of other things that are on my list to get done, and I just need to take the time to do them.
And that includes connecting our engines to more real-time, real-world content so that it can answer questions better about things like breaking news items.
So we've got a great plan to put that in place.
And I've got, well, there's a couple other concepts I don't want to announce yet, but they're on my build list.
I'm going to be rolling those out.
And then also book translations at brightlearn.ai.
So not only are we going to be doing a lot of audio books that will, of course, always be free, but also book translations.
So you'll have, you know, Spanish language, French language, Chinese language books available.
Of course, the translation is automated, so it's not going to be 100% perfect, but these days the AI translation is quite good.
So plus the fact that they're all free.
Well, you know, that makes it tolerable if there's a couple of little glitches here and there.
And all of these projects are part of my overall vision.
I shared it with you last year.
I said, my goal is to reach 1 billion people on planet Earth.
Well, I guess I don't, they could be off-planet.
That's fine with me.
But I want to reach a billion people with uncensored, empowering knowledge and information.
And to reach a billion people, that means we have to go multilingual because I don't, are there a billion people that speak English well?
I guess if you count India, yes.
But obviously, I want to target more than just English.
Chinese is critical.
And, you know, French, Spanish, German, Italian.
I want to hit all these languages and many others, even Japanese as well.
So that's part of my vision with the book site.
And then we're also, you've seen, I've rolled out some little pilot AI avatars with some short videos, working on technology to better automate that process, because I believe this is the year when we will be able to roll out short documentaries on many of the topics that are currently encapsulated in the books at brightlearn.ai, and my vision is that as a book becomes more and more popular,
Eventually it'll hit a threshold of how many people have read it or download it.
It will trigger an automatic short documentary video to be created and then my vision is that in 2027 this will expand to full-length documentaries.
I think 2027 is the year that Hollywood dies, which is a great thing because Hollywood sucks.
And in 2027, you'll be able to just render your own full-length movie with just by prompting it.
Instead of like vibe coding, you'll be like vibe filmmaking.
Just type in your prompt or you could put in a screenplay.
You could put in specific dialogue, specific scenes.
You can just, you could be very general or you could be very specific, kind of like you can with our book engine right now.
You could just say, hey, I want a book about how to cook with rice.
Or you can give it a whole layout, all kinds of details, different types of rice and everything, and it'll write that book.
So it's just completely up to you.
Anyway, that's coming for the video industry or the filmmaking industry.
Hollywood is about to be obsolete.
The mainstream book publishing industry is about to be obsolete.
The audiobook industry, as we know it, is just about to become totally obsolete.
And there are many other things that will be obsolete.
But the good news is that all of this benefits humankind because you'll have faster access to sort of on-demand content that better suits what you're looking for.
You know, we don't all want the same libtard Hollywood movies shoved down our throats, right?
We don't all want the same books.
We want customized information.
We want customized podcasts.
And that's another thing I'll be working on as well because we have a lot of great text-to-speech technology now that's open source.
So, man, there's so many projects to work on.
I will never run out of fun projects to build for you that will help add to your knowledge and your freedom and your ability to decentralize your life away from the control grid.
Now then, on top of that, in the lab, so I've just filmed a tour of our new laboratory.
You'll see that shortly.
And it's awesome.
You know, we have so much more space.
We have more instruments.
Microplastics in Bottled Water00:04:29
We've just developed a new method for dioxin testing.
We've developed another method for glyphosate quantitation using ion chromatography combined with mass spec.
So that's a really cool method.
And it alleviates the need for our triple quad mass spec approach, which has worked for years, but it's also very costly to maintain a triple quad mass spec instrument.
The annual maintenance, just to let you know, the annual maintenance on that one machine is about $45,000.
That's just to keep it running if nothing breaks.
$45,000.
Imagine that.
And then we have nine machines.
So you kind of, you get the idea of how expensive it is.
So we are all about creating new methods that are more cost-effective so we can keep costs low as much as we can.
And we're about to roll out a massive amount of dioxin testing results of testing off-the-shelf foods from the local grocery stores in central Texas or maybe stuff we buy off Amazon.
You know, we're going to test eggs and milk and cheese and meats and I don't know, like fast food burgers.
Find out if there's any meat in those at all.
Maybe there is.
Is that meat clean?
Is it free from dioxins?
I don't know.
We're going to find out.
And as we do that, you know, we're going to bring you all those results.
And then the next project that is already behind the scenes, we're already seeing amazing stuff is our microplastics testing.
So not only are we doing microplastics testing of outside products, we're also adding a layer of microplastics testing to all of our raw materials as well so that we can, you know, if there's any problem in any raw material, we can catch it in advance.
Or if we see something off the shelf, we can let you know about it and give you a warning about it.
Now, microplastics are becoming a big deal in the minds of many people.
And of course, we want our products to be as clean as possible, even though we live in a world where there's plastic everywhere, including in food packaging.
You know, you can't, it's impossible to have food.
If you manufacture food or you manufacture supplements, it is literally impossible to have products that never touch plastic because that's how they're shipped, you know, by the, well, the growers or the farmers.
They're in large bags or if it's liquid, it's in a large polyethylene barrel.
So, you know, they're always coming into contact with polymers.
That doesn't mean there's polymers in the final product, but we want to know as best we can, you know, which vendors are the cleanest.
And we want to be able to reject if there's any vendors that have a problem with this, obviously.
So this is our next effort is microplastics testing.
And we'll be bringing you those results.
And I remember a few years ago, everybody was really concerned about BPA, a BPA plasticizer chemical.
And that concern remains very valid.
That's why we've used BPA-free materials wherever possible in our supply chain and in our manufacturing chain.
But now the concern has shifted not so much on BPA itself, but rather the plastic pieces or, you know, plastic fibers or just little pieces of polymers.
And I've already seen things under the microscope.
Well, heck, I'll just, I'll tell you right now.
We went out and bought a bunch of bottled water, okay?
And we ran the bottled water through filter paper in the lab to capture microplastics.
And then we use our dyeing technique and our special wavelength excitation technique with our microscopy in order to find polymers.
And yes, we are finding them.
We are finding them in off-the-shelf bottled water.
So that's concerning.
We're going to be bringing you that story and much more in the days and weeks ahead.
So again, I'll be doing fewer interviews for a while, but I'll be doing more vibe coding and I'll be rolling out more really cool platforms and projects for you to have fun with and to use.
Some Shocking Revelations00:10:30
They will always be free, by the way.
And we're going to roll out some more science projects for you to see.
Some of those might be shocking.
Some of them will be awesome and fun.
Some of them are visual.
Some of them are just more chemistry side, etc.
But I'll bring you all that information over the next couple of months.
So stay tuned and thank you for your support.

Take care.
In America, traditionally, we always like to look back at our presidents as leading the country.
And when you lead, you lead all Americans.
And so your responsibility is to improve the lot, the welfare, and the happiness of all Americans, even if they're not in your party.
That's what the president traditionally is meant to do.
Not just his tribe or his people or his base.
And with Trump, he's not leading.
He's ruling.
There's a big difference.
In America, we like our presidents to lead.
But if you're in a banana republic or a third world country, you accept that you're being ruled over.
I want to segue to another segment that I'm going to call MAGA brain rot.
It seems appropriate.
We have all witnessed, those of us who still have functioning rational minds, we've all witnessed the MAGA movement utterly abandon every principle.
We've also seen many Christians in America abandon principles of Christianity.
They used to argue that every life should be saved and every baby was worth saving and oppose abortion.
But now they argue that it's perfectly okay to bomb them and kill them if they live in Gaza.
So, you know, what was pro-life has become pro-genocide.
And that's just the Christian element of it.
On top of that, the MAGA element used to argue, oh, we have to release the Epscene files unredacted.
And now they're like, no, we should move on.
There's nothing to see here.
Who cares if they raped and trafficked girls and killed them and buried their bones on famous people's golf courses or whatever.
We just have to move on from that.
And, you know, one more example.
The conservatives used to say, well, we shouldn't have government agents in the streets violating our constitutional rights.
And now they say, well, we have to.
You know, the ends justify the means.
And these masked ICE goons are shooting and killing Americans.
And they are accosting and coercing Americans who are simply observing them and saying that they don't need warrants, that there's no constitution.
They can do anything they want and kill anyone they want.
And they can put you on a secret list and you'll be designated a terrorist.
And then after they shoot you, the DOJ in the White House will say, you were a terrorist because you carried a gun.
So the entire MAGA movement, at least whoever's still left in it, have become anti-Second Amendment and anti-First Amendment and anti-Fourth Amendment.
Okay.
I didn't see this coming.
What's your take on MAGA brain rot?
It's, you know, what this has shown us, all of these episodes, which you've very eloquently laid out there, plus a few others we might add, but it just goes to show you that, and the president himself, how did he get elected?
He made a series of promises that seem to be revolutionary compared to previous administrations and politics as usual in Washington.
That's where the votes came from.
All the independents mobilized and voted for Donald Trump, put him over the top, at least in 2024.
I wouldn't talk about the previous two elections, a different analysis, but the last election especially, he really went for the anti-war vote.
He went for the First Amendment vote.
Yeah, I forgot to mention anti-war.
Thank you.
Yeah, and the no new nation building and polar, you know, we don't want to get involved in the Middle East and so forth.
So, and also conservativism or conservative values.
It's small government.
They love to eulogize about Ronald Reagan.
And they say, oh, Reagan, this, Reagan, that.
Well, Reagan was, yes, Reagan was a small government advocate, but the federal government grew at record rates under the Reagan administration.
Separate story.
But what you're really concerned about is executive power.
And the executive power that's been concentrated from the Clinton administration through to Bush Jr., then to Obama, then to Trump 1, and then to Biden.
It's just an unbelievable amount of power vested into the executive branch.
And that really throws the balance off of the U.S. system.
And this is where the rhetoric of Ronald Reagan was correct.
And, of course, Ron Paul and these types of libertarian conservatives being probably the most authentic and consistent, but this isn't very popular, this type of talk in Washington, because they are all basically rinsing it off the back of this federal gravy train, the DHS being the biggest gravy train of all, which didn't exist before 2002.
It was only because of the fear of 9-11 that they felt they needed a Department of Homeland.
We never used the word homeland in America before 2002 or before 9-11.
That was an anathema.
It's very close to fatherland.
It's not a very American thing.
But that came in, and that was the biggest federal department by expenditure, aside from the Pentagon.
And what is it?
What is DHS with ICE nested within it?
It's a huge contractor, subcontractor kind of array gravy train grift is unbelievable.
They do all the mass shooting drills in the schools and scare the hell out of all these kids.
And turn, you know, they're responsible for all of these different boondoggle schemes and equipment and all this.
They've militarized U.S. police.
They've changed the face of America because of this.
This is what happened when you start allowing federal budgets to just go balloon like this.
And look at ICE.
ICE's budget now is bigger than the U.S. Marine Corps.
$100 billion.
I mean, how did we get to this?
And they're better equipped than the U.S. Marine Corps in some cases, not all.
But so this is allowing a federal, effectively a secret police force, masked, drawing weapons against unarmed American citizens.
And quite frankly, anybody, the way our law works in America is that if you're a citizen or not, or you're, let's say, you're on a work permit, or you're somebody who is an asylum seeker or whatever, there's due process.
That's guaranteed in our Constitution, due process.
Now, whether you want to remove them, that's the purview of the government, and they'll do that if they feel they need to.
And people will vote on that as an issue.
But when you start saying these people don't get due process, these people do.
These people are suspected, even though they're American citizens.
They don't get due process.
That's somebody who's getting in the way of a legitimate law enforcement activity of ICE in Minneapolis.
Therefore, we're going to shoot and kill them, even though they're an American citizen.
It's absolutely out of control.
Not even getting in the way of just recording, just filming from a distance is now considered an act of terrorism in America.
Yeah, and terrorism.
They're using this word.
Yes.
This is the problem when you abuse this term terrorism, because this is being used in Britain to basically outlaw people protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza.
That's right.
Protesting the UK government sending weapons or allowing Israeli firms based in the UK to ship weapons to Israel.
And so that protesting that is now terrorism?
And where does it end?
You know, when Antifa was totally out of control during Trump's first term and Portland was like a battle zone, I remember all that.
Okay, now at that point, a lot of people were coming out, including Alex Jones and others, who are calling Antifa a terrorist organization.
I oppose that because I'm like, you got to be careful how you apply this term terrorism, because if you start using it willy-nilly against your political enemies, when you're not in power, that can be used against you.
And of course, it was with January 6th and so forth.
And that was abused by the Biden administration.
And the Trump administration have taken that abuse of the term terrorism to another level.
And what it does is it means that you can suspend due process in the law and you don't have to treat people like humans if they're supposed terrorists.
This is the Israeli policy over the entirety of Gaza and South Lebanon, is because they've said, oh, they're terrorists.
So we can do what we will, even if it means carpet bombing them.
And whatever civilians are killed, that's just unfortunate collateral damage because we need to fight this terrorism problem.
That's the problem with this type of thinking.
That's a critical point.
And also, many ICE agents are being trained by Israeli forces.
Yes.
That's well known.
So we're having the Israelification of U.S. policing.
And I tweeted out one day as all these conservatives were defending what ICE did shooting Alex Predty.
I said, gosh, wait until the MAGA people of 2026 find out what MAGA did on January 6th, 2021.
Because according to today's MAGA, all those MAGA people should have been shot dead by the Capitol police.
You know, because they were doing things way more aggressive than anything Alex Predi was doing as they were pistol whipping him in the face and screaming, you know, stop resisting.
You know, it's like it's become completely insane.
But my last question to you, which is related to this, is what's the backlash going to look like?
And let me set up a couple of things.
Not just the midterm elections, but the promise by some Democrat leaders in some of these cities to criminally investigate and prosecute every member of ICE that operated within their cities once they gained sufficient political power to do so.
Attacking the Constitution00:07:14
And it's not hard to imagine that Trump is going to lose the House and lose the Senate in the midterm.
So what's going to happen to Trump?
Is his whole family going to jail at some point if the Democrats get back in power?
Where is this going?
That's the problem, Mike.
And this is the problem with the Trump administration.
And by the way, I criticized Obama heavily on this: when Obama was elected by a pretty broad majority, in fact, he kind of ran as a populist and he got a lot of support from places that Democrats hadn't got support previously.
But over time, he started only sort of leading his political party and maybe even a more kind of ideological faction within that party, and then was treating everybody else pretty much like Persona Nongrada, playing up racial divisions and so forth.
And that created a lot of division in America.
And power is also accumulated through that process.
Okay.
Biden, of course, did the same.
Trump, I think, was on his back heels during his first term most of the time anyway.
So he wasn't really able to achieve a whole lot.
But in America, traditionally, we always like to look back at our presidents as leading the country, leaders.
You lead.
And when you lead, you lead all Americans.
So your responsibility is to improve the lot, the welfare, and the happiness of all Americans, even if they're not in your party.
That's what the president traditionally is meant to do, not just his tribe or his people or his base.
And with Trump, he's not leading.
He's ruling.
There's a big difference.
In America, we like our presidents to lead.
But if you're in a banana republic or a third world country, you accept that you're being ruled over.
And this is the problem with this president.
And I really am frightened to think what comes after this, whether it's another something else cast in his mold or a more authoritarian Democrat president that will use all of these tools against their political adversaries.
And then where are we again?
We'll get another super fascist right-wing leader after that.
And the country is just the victim here is the U.S. Constitution, because that's the thing that makes the U.S. unique and different from all other countries in the world.
But this current president is laying waste to the First Amendment in a way that's just shocking and attacking universities, suing universities for having students protest a genocide in Gaza and claiming that's anti-Semitism or terrorism on U.S. campuses.
That's a direct attack on the First Amendment.
Trump himself has attacked the Second Amendment in Minneapolis and his comments afterwards.
I mean, it's unbelievable.
So, and the 10th Amendment, and that's what you're talking about, Mike, the 10th Amendment, states' rights.
You heard the mayor of Philadelphia basically saying, ICE, get the F out.
And Minnesota would be well within its rights if they had more of a ballsy mayor and governor.
Just basically invoke the 10th Amendment.
You have federal agencies.
You've got no jurisdiction at all.
I'm a big fan of the county sheriffs because they're elected.
And in Minneapolis, what should have happened in a constitutional state is the county sheriff comes and basically says, stands between the people and ICE with his deputies.
And he says, I have a mandate from the people of my state.
You need to leave.
You need to put your guns back in your holster and leave.
Check out of your hotel.
You can't go around terrorizing the people of our state.
I've been elected here to keep the peace in this community.
But you don't have that in some of these other states where either that or their powers or they've been reduced or neutered to such a degree.
But you couldn't get away with this attack like Trump has done with ICE.
You couldn't deploy that sort of attack in Arizona.
You couldn't.
It would just be anarchy.
And also because we have county sheriffs that are elected right across the state in Arizona, which is my home state.
But I would say the same with other parts of the country.
But recapturing your state's rights and your local rights, I prefer to have local law enforcement that are accountable rather than 2,000 or 3,000 masked federal paramilitaries showing up who do not respect any constitutional rights at all.
You don't want them running around in your city or your state pulling guns on people.
They don't have police training.
They're not policing.
They are a paramilitary force that, and they're trigger happy and they're arrogant.
You've seen lots of videos and they, I mean, gosh, for some of them, you know, this is the Reud rage they've been waiting for their whole lives, a chance to put on a mask and go out and terrorize other people behind a badge.
And they're actually enjoying it.
And they're killing Americans.
I'm going to say one other thing.
And this might sound controversial to some conservatives, but it's true.
They're profiling people based on their skin color or their accent.
That's just kind of, in America, that's outrageous.
You could say that's racist, of course, for a lot of these ICE agents.
And the reason is, is because they've been given license to do this, because they've been given license to basically disregard due process.
That's a problem.
That leads to anarchy.
Then, what next?
An armed insurrection?
And then, what do you have?
Civil war.
We have systems and people and precedents in place to prevent that from happening.
But the leadership needs to start at the top.
And it's for all Americans, not just those who support Trump.
He attacks people, media people.
I mean, I'm no fan of CNN, Mike, but the way he attacked the CNN reporter, who I can't stand, by the way, Caitlin Collins, she annoys me to no end.
But she asked him a perfectly legitimate question about justice for the victims of ICE, I believe, in Minnesota.
And he started attacking her personally and just calling her names.
He wouldn't answer the question.
And I thought, when did our president become such a loser?
Like, the behavior is just like, you know, you can't stand up.
Even if you don't like the question, he's capable of answering it.
But he just attacking the press, saying they're fake news and you're, you know, nobody watches your network and you never smile.
Why, you know, you're not going to be allowed in here again.
And this is like he's being all those things that the radical Democrats accused him of before he was even sworn into president in his first term.
Right, right.
You know, he's become that thing.
They've created a monster.
Yeah, I said to all the Democrats listening: your problem is you called him Hitler before he acted like Hitler.
Empire's Tantrums And Moral Decline00:04:15
Exactly.
It's like you were premature.
But now he's got his own private, thuggish, masked police force answerable to no one that really can be characterized as execution squads.
They run around America's cities, killing whoever they want, and then the DOJ supports them and backs them up.
We've seen this before in history, and it never ends well.
So, Patrick, are there any last thoughts you want to add here before we wrap this up?
No, but I'm going to tell you, it's not a popular thing to say, but people need to hear it: history is going to look back at this presidency, this administration, as probably the most reckless and corrupt in the history of the United States of America ever.
And that's saying something.
But the fear we have here is that we hope there's a country going forward where we can look back in history and evaluate and learn from the mistakes of this presidency.
But there's also a huge risk that if left unchecked, both at home and away, you know, I think the future of the United States as a cohesive country and also the world, you know, avoiding World War III.
I think those are questions that are up in the air at the moment, just looking at the behavior at home and away of this administration.
I hope that course changes.
I really do.
Because, you know, whatever your beliefs are about, you know, who should lead the world or who should be the unipolar superpower, and many Americans believe that should be America and they should lead and be the leading edge of everything culturally, economically, and so forth.
But, you know, whatever your beliefs are, whatever you, you know, preferences as to who is going to dominate the global order in the future, you do have to accept the fact that what good is it being on top if you've created an absolute hellscape?
Well, right.
America used to be able to argue that we held the moral high ground, that we supported human rights, that we supported freedom of speech, that we supported free trade, et cetera.
And none of those things are true any longer.
That America is the terror regime of the world and pillages, steals, bombs, assassinates, runs color revolutions, lies, does everything possible to destroy everybody else, to try to keep America as the last nation standing on its pile of soon-to-be worthless debt.
So that's not a moral position from which you can lead any civilization, period.
No, it's not.
And America has the tools to be all those things that all those values that abuse.
It has all the tools.
It has a great constitutional republican system of government and governance and a fantastic array of independent states within a federation.
I mean, it has all the resources.
It has the human capital.
It has everything.
So, I mean, but it does have that problem, Mike, is that that giant pile of worthless fiat paper that the bill is coming due now finally.
And we're starting to see the sort of tantrums, I think, of an empire.
I mean, you and others in this space have been Gerald Salente, even Alex Jones in the early days were warning that this day was going to come, that the fiat bubble would eventually rupture.
And it won't be pretty when it does.
And that day is now upon us.
But the question is, we have to decide where we want to be in the world.
I think it's a lack of imagination on the part of the great and the good in America.
They lack the imagination of seeing the future, a compelling future that can be good for themselves and also their neighbors.
That's the problem.
I would just add, I agree with what you just said.
Empire Tantrums00:07:31
I would add also that we have 31 million Americans injecting themselves with GLP-1 drugs.
And then we now know that they cause 100% increase in the risk of psychiatric disorders and over that of a risk of suicidal ideation, especially among women.
And that the group that takes these the most is like 50 to 65 year old people.
And Trump is working to make them more affordable so that more people can take them.
So that, I don't know, maybe half of U.S. adults will be injecting themselves with a drug that's literally based on the venom peptides of the Gila monster, which is a paralyzing agent.
And then they're going to go mad.
And maybe we've just lost our minds because people decided to take all the poisons and inject all the poisons.
And I don't know.
They just lost their minds.
And, you know, Rome, right?
Lead poisoning.
You know, we've seen this before.
What's it called?
Ozempec?
Is that a GOP one?
Ozempec, yeah, that's one of them.
But I mean, there's so many people that are taking these drugs, as you said, Mike, for vanity purposes because they want a shortcut to looking healthy.
But it doesn't mean that you actually are healthy.
Right.
And again, you're avoiding the biggest issue of all is that, you know, what are we putting in our bodies?
You know, what sort of environment are we in?
How are we treating ourselves in this world?
And we have an opportunity to correct that, to improve that situation.
And many are, by the way, many are taking that opportunity today.
But at the same time, these forces of big pharma and big business are coming in with this fantastic solution here that reminds me of Operation Warp Speed.
You know, what's funny is that if the American people wanted to be healthier, they should eat like Palestinians or Lebanese or Persians because those diets actually have the most anti-cancer nutrients, the most neuroprotective nutrients.
You look at Middle Eastern cuisine or Mediterranean cuisine.
It's the healthiest in the world.
But instead of us using their recipes, we just bomb them.
It's a form of Western suicide.
It's like we could be exchanging great gifts of health and joy and economic abundance.
Instead, we're bombing and killing and maiming.
And it's just sickening, sickening to watch.
Yeah.
No, exactly.
All these countries, Mike, these people are very compatible with Americans.
I'm always surprised when I travel how compatible we are with everybody.
But the way that these countries and cultures are portrayed, Japan I'll put in that category as well, because they used to be demonized back in the day by America.
That's another fantastic, healthy, natural diet that they have and lifestyle and longevity and so forth.
But all these countries, the way that we pastiche and characterize all these people, the way Marco Rubio talks about the Chinese, like that they're just hell-bent on, you know, killing all Americans or destroying us or something.
That's so far from the truth.
And the same with Arabs in the Middle East.
That's right.
The 5,000-year-old, 6,000-year-old cultures, we have more to learn from them than they do from us, quite frankly.
America has become a culture of hate toward the rest of the world.
I mean, just flatly stated, that's truthful.
You know, the White House pushes hatred.
The media pushes hatred towards everybody else out there to justify these actions of genocide and bombing and sanctions.
And, you know, look, I speak Mandarin.
I lived in Taiwan.
I know the Chinese culture very, very well.
And they're highly compatible with Americans.
And I mean, we could go on.
I'm just underscoring your very point.
You're exactly right.
The people of the world don't want to fight with each other.
It's the governments, especially our government, run by, I think, satanic pedophiles, let's just be honest, that is really running around the world as terrorists and causing harm and destruction and suffering.
So if you want to defeat Satan, you got to dismantle this satanic system.
I mean, but the Christians don't want to do that because they are on the side of Satan if they're supporting Israel.
I mean, you know, look, I know it's not popular to say this, but this is true.
Anyway, whatever.
Before I dig a deeper hole, let me wrap this up.
I just want to thank you for joining us.
I appreciate everything that, you know, your analysis, your honesty, your courage to tell the truth is just extraordinary.
You're welcome back anytime.
Let me just give out your website again, 21stcenturywire.com.
And is there anything you want to tell people about what they can find on your site or your Sunday show, things like that?
Yeah, with Sunday Wire is our sort of main program every Sunday, which has been going for over 10 years.
I think 2013, we started as an audio podcast.
We're doing video now in recent years, but we do daily content.
We're really good investigative pieces.
I invest a lot of money in investigative journalism.
I train and I develop journalists as well.
And some of them have worked with us and gone on to win awards and things like that.
And we have a new crop of great people who are producing fantastic work for us.
I'm also very busy on the journalistic front as well.
I do a lot of interviews on other people's shows, podcasts to people that I like.
And we share very similar kind of approach to geopolitics.
So, but yeah, we're having a winner fundraising drive right now.
So we're very close to meeting our target.
That helps us to fund the operation for 2026.
So if you want to subscribe or donate to us, we really appreciate it.
And, you know, we've been around since 2009, so we've still got a long way to go.
We've got a lot of work to do.
So yeah, please consider us.
Outstanding.
Outstanding.
Well, thank you so much, Patrick.
It's an honor to have you on.
Keep up all the great work, and I'll keep sharing your social media posts along the way.
Okay, thank you very much, Mike.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
And for those watching, thank you for joining us.
Hope you found this informative and also, you know, hopefully thoughtful.
I don't say things just to trigger people.
I say things to try to get you to think about what's actually happening.
You know, step back for a moment and really think about this.
We are losing our civil liberties.
We're losing our freedoms.
We're losing the America that our founding fathers gave us.
We no longer live in that America.
We live in something that's been distorted and twisted.
And we have to work hard to try to bring it back to the original vision.
At least that's my take.
But you can watch this interview at brighteon.com and share it.
And you can post it on other channels and platforms.
And thank you so much for taking the time to share this video.
I'm Mike Adams of Brighteon.com.
Take care.
