BVN, Feb 23, 2026 – Mexican Cartels Unleash CHAOS as Americans are TRAPPED in War Zone...
Dan Dix and Aaron Day detail cartel chaos in Mexico on Feb 23, 2026, after Oseguer Cervantes’ killing and his son’s capture, with U.S. military intelligence suspected of involvement—stranding Americans amid canceled flights, blocked roads, and targeted attacks on Cancun, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta, including hospitals and banks like Banco del Bienestar. Meanwhile, Donut Lab’s 400 Wh/kg solid-state battery, announced at CES in January, promises to revolutionize energy storage with 100,000 charge cycles and five-minute recharging, while DeepSeek v4 (rumored for release) could make human programmers obsolete with 83 SWE benchmark scores and 50x cheaper APIs. C-Dance 2.0, already live in China, threatens Hollywood’s dominance by enabling prompt-based video creation, slashing production costs. These tech breakthroughs—paired with cartel escalation and Zionist geopolitical tensions—could force a future where off-grid living, AI-driven media, and decentralized energy redefine independence overnight.

All right, breaking news situation about the chaos happening in Mexico.
Welcome to Brighteon Broadcast News for Monday, February 23rd, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams, and a few hours ago, I interviewed two Americans who are stuck in Mexico because of the escalating cartel violence.
And they are, well, I'm sorry, one Canadian and one American.
Dan Dix from Press for Truth Canada and then our friend Aaron Day, who of course I've interviewed on topics such as technocracy and AI and much more.
And the situation is escalating quite rapidly.
What I want to do first is actually show you some just a few clips of the violence that's happening there so you actually get a sense of what's going on.
The cartels have turned many parts of Mexico into a war zone following the government killing of their cartel boss.
I forgot his name, El Mencho or something like that.
He was killed and his son was taken captive by the government.
Apparently, the U.S. military provided intelligence and surveillance and targeting information to allow the Mexican government to do this.
And it's feared that that may be placing many Americans in harm's way as airports are being shut down, roads are being blocked, checkpoints by the cartels.
And in one case that you'll hear here from Dan Dix, a couple of Americans were riding in a cab trying to leave the Anarchipulco event.
And the cab was stopped.
The driver was pulled out of the cab and shot and killed, executed on site.
And then the cab was set on fire, which destroyed the luggage and the passports of our fellow Americans who were the passengers, although they escaped unharmed themselves.
But imagine the horror of these kinds of events.
So I want to show you some of the scenes here.
There's no blood or gore, but there's a lot of rapid gunfire, some yelling, etc.
I just want to set the tone for this so you understand that this is real, that this is happening.
Check out these clips, and then we'll continue.
So there you go.
Some of those scenes were from the Cancun airport.
People panicked, gunfire in the distance.
Airports have been shut down across Mexico.
Not everywhere, but in many areas.
They have been shut down.
Now, remember, I've interviewed Dan Dix and Aaron Day.
Those interviews are coming up here very shortly.
I'm not going to hold those till the end.
I want you to hear this right away.
But I want to set the context here to explain that everybody is asking the question: what is going on?
Why now?
Why now?
There's also a very strong link between Israel and the supply of weapons to Mexican cartels.
I did a deep dive research on that.
It's all confirmed.
It's all true.
If I have time, I'll cover that in more detail.
But yes, a lot of the weapons that the U.S. sends to Israel, or some of them, end up getting sold on the black market to Mexican drug cartels.
So, you know, it's no exaggeration to say that some of what's happening, some of the violence in Mexico right now, is being carried out with weapons that indirectly came from U.S. taxpayers.
Kind of like the way in Ukraine, you know, a lot of weapons that were shipped to Ukraine ended up being sold on the black market to various groups in the Middle East or in you know, in some cases, like Southeast Asia, etc.
So, you know, all kinds of weapons trafficking shenanigans taking place right now.
But the big question people are asking is: why is this happening now?
It is widely believed, but not yet confirmed, that the U.S. military intelligence provided key information to the Mexican government in order to allow them to kill this cartel leader and to kidnap his son.
And because of that, this is why the cartels have erupted and they've made some demands of the government.
I don't know what those demands are.
Well, I think one of them is to free the sun.
And the boss, the head boss, his name is El Mencho.
What is it?
Oseguer Cervantes, I guess that's his name.
El Mencho.
Of course, I've never heard of him.
I don't cover Mexico that much.
But the taking out of this guy has set this off.
And a lot of people are wondering now, is this all part of a U.S. operation to spur violence in Mexico and even to arrange for some Americans to be kidnapped or killed in order for Trump to justify a U.S. military invasion of Mexico?
See, that's what you have to, you know, problem reaction solution, right?
You always have to think, how are they trying to set up a situation where the American people demand that the U.S. military invade Mexico?
Now, the president of Mexico, who, of course, is loyal to Israel, as is the president of America, and, well, come to think of it, most of our countries in the West right now, she is trying to tell everybody that, no, everything's under control, just maintain peace and calm.
It's all fine.
So if this is a plot by America to try to, you know, justify a U.S. military invasion, well, the president of Mexico, what's her name, Scheinbaum or something, she is not going along with it.
But then again, she is owned by the cartels.
So that could make perfect sense.
But Trump needs a reason to go into Mexico with military force, just like he needed a reason to go into Venezuela.
And he's trying to whip up a reason to bomb Iran, probably to have ground troop invasion of Iran as well.
But Mexico, understand that Mexico is by far the largest supplier of silver in the world, by far.
Whereas Venezuela was a supplier of oil and some minerals, some mining in Venezuela as well.
But Mexico is a supplier of silver.
And given that there is a severe silver shortage, apparently, we're coming up on some of the March contracts in the COMAX, and there appears to be a massive shortfall of hundreds of millions of ounces of silver that are supposed to be made available for delivery that apparently do not exist in the system as far as I can tell.
I mean, that's my understanding of it.
There are others who are more focused experts on silver alone.
You know, people like Andy Shekman or Ed Steer or others that I've interviewed.
They can tell you more about that, or David Morgan.
They can tell you more.
But my overall understanding is the COMAX market is about on the verge of a massive silver default, which would be, of course, an emergency situation.
And does this violence in Mexico, does it play into some kind of effort for the U.S. to move in and maybe take control of the silver mines?
I don't know.
I'm just asking.
I mean, that is conjecture, admittedly.
I don't know, but these are the kinds of scenarios we have to think about, given the way Trump is acting.
Supreme Court shutting down Trump's tariffs on Friday, saying that they are unconstitutional, causing Trump to go just haywire and say, Well, we're just going to slap another 10 or 15 percent tariff on the whole world and everybody, and screw the Supreme Court.
We're going to tariff the snot out of everybody.
And I think over the weekend, Trump said we're just going to shut off imports from certain countries entirely.
Basically, it's an economic embargo against the United States.
Wait a second.
Why are you embargoing us?
We need some of these goods from other countries.
But the insanity level is off the charts.
And many of us have a feeling that this is all connected.
It's all connected.
It's got something to do with Iran, with Israel, with silver, with oil, with commodities, with the U.S. military, with maybe the border.
Somehow, this is all connected, and everybody's trying to put the pieces together.
Obviously, I haven't put all the pieces together yet.
Maybe some of you have, but I'm just presenting this information right now so that you can think about this.
Like, what is the common thread here?
How does a U.S. military invasion of Mexico, how does that help, let's say, Israel?
Or how does that help Trump?
Or how does that help America's military defeat Iran somehow?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But I'm way past the point of just believing in coincidences.
There are no coincidences.
These things are engineered.
Clearly, they're engineered.
They're up to something.
We know they're up to something.
And the mainstream media won't tell you the truth ever, of course.
And you know, when I say they're up to something, what I mean is they're up to something that serves their interests, but probably not our interests.
They're up to no good somehow.
They're planning something.
Now, granted, cartel violence can be pretty intense.
Here's the thing.
Many of these cartels operate well within the United States.
For example, in Arizona, in California, you know, the southern states, New Mexico, and even in Texas, of course.
There are cartel operators in the United States that have access to rather sophisticated weapons systems.
Do not forget that because of the open borders policies before Trump, you know, the one thing to Trump's credit that he has done something significant on here is halting the inflow of illegals across the border, largely halting it.
That's good.
You know, his administration has fumbled on some of the ICE enforcement activities, obviously running around shooting Americans.
That's not the way to do it.
But he did stop the influx of illegals.
However, it was too late.
By the time the door slammed shut, Biden and Obama before that, even during Trump's first administration, because of the Democrats, tens of millions of illegals came across the border, and a significant number of them brought weapons with them.
They smuggled weapons across the border.
And those weapons include suicide vests.
We know this from sources I've interviewed, people who worked the border.
We know that the weapons include surface-to-air missiles that can take down commercial jetliners.
We know that the weapons include anti-personnel land mines.
We even know that those were delivered across the border into Arizona using drones.
My sources are good.
Have a lot of good information about bad things.
That's, I mean, i'm sorry to put it that way, but that it's.
It's true.
We have good information about bad things and these weapons are already in America and, as you well know, they they've got uh, they've got mortars right, they've got rpgs.
These are in storage, these are, you know, in bunkers hidden across parts of America.
They've got police uniforms and military uniforms.
Author, Matt Bracken talks about this a lot.
I've interviewed him several times over the last few years.
Matt Bracken, former navy seal.
He's absolutely correct about this, absolutely correct.
And my question is, is what we're seeing in Mexico now?
Is this the spark that ignites a massive cartel led um push against the U.s government and the American people in the Continental United States?
Cities on Edge00:07:42
In other words, are we going to start seeing car bombs in Arizona or, you know, massive fires in California or violence against law enforcement officials in Texas, for example?
Because the cartels are, you know, activating their assets that exist in the United States, that have access to all these weapons.
Oh, I forgot.
I forgot to mention they have night vision, they have um illegal suppressors and they have drop-in full auto sears for the triggers for the rifles that they have, whether it's a R platforms or Ak platforms, so they can go full, auto full, suppress night vision with, of course, you know, ballistic armor and and the suicide vest on top of that, you know, my goodness, plus mortars and rpgs and surface air missiles,
that that in in the hands of thousands of determined guerrilla fighters.
That that's a recipe for absolute freaking chaos.
That's a recipe for turning America into a war zone.
And what you just saw in the clips a few minutes ago, that that's just different parts of Mexico right now.
It hasn't yet spilled into America.
But if this is all the pretext for the United States to to activate its military and and start literally a land invasion and occupation of Mexico, then you can bet that the cartels are going to go, full activation for every asset that they have in every U.s city, which is every U.s city.
Every city will get hit with something.
You know, bombs uh arson uh, bridges, you know bombs on bridges uh, disruptions.
You know refineries set on fire I mean, use your imagination right power grid substations taken out, etc etc.
That's where this could go.
It could turn North America into a war zone as Trump moves in to try to I don't know occupy.
Is Trump trying to occupy everything from here all the way down to the south Pole.
You know he wants it all.
He wants Panama, he wants Colombia, he wants probably Brazil.
Uh, he want, you know Venezuela, already about to move into Mexico.
Is he just gonna invade Mexico and sweep south all the way through Central and South America until America, until the United States controls the whole thing, including all the way from Greenland, all the way at the top, and then takes Canada And then all the way down to the southern tip of South America.
Is that the plan?
Yeah, probably.
That's probably the plan.
You know how Netanyahu has Greater Israel?
I think Trump's plan is very similar.
He's like the Greater America.
But we don't have enough troops to occupy Mexico and fight Iran and defend Taiwan and fight Russia.
We don't have enough troops.
We don't have enough ammo.
We don't have enough interceptors for the Patriot systems.
We don't have enough artillery shells.
We don't have enough tanks and tank shells.
And we don't even have hypersonic missiles.
So not even anything to run out of there.
We don't have enough Apache helicopters, et cetera, et cetera.
And the stuff we do have cannot easily be replaced when it's taken out because our supply chain is all totally wrecked by either a combination of China blocking exports of rare earths to the United States or Trump slapping tariffs on freaking everything, completely severing the supply chains for a lot of manufacturers, including in many cases, military manufacturers as well.
They're struggling too.
This is a nightmare scenario that's shaping up here.
So we're going to go to the interviews here shortly.
I hope that this is just a one-day one-off event and it just everything's fine tomorrow.
But I suspect that's not what this is.
I suspect there's something bigger going on that Trump has a military plan in place and that what you're witnessing here is a pretext.
And if that's the case, then things are going to get super dicey.
Silver is probably going to explode because of the scarcity issues related to sources from Mexico.
Gold probably will as well, especially if Trump orders an attack on Iran.
The supply chains are going to get wrecked even more than they are already.
And Mexico is going to become a war zone.
And certain parts of the U.S. could become war zones.
But certainly Americans will stop traveling to Mexico for the most part because it will prove to be so ridiculously dangerous to visit there at risk of being potentially kidnapped and held for ransom or held as a hostage against the Trump administration.
So believe me, if Trump moves on Mexico in a military fashion, Americans need to get out of Mexico because it will not be safe for Americans.
A lot of Americans live there.
Some of you listening to this probably live there in Mexico.
And maybe you feel safe and maybe you're disagreeing with me and that's fine.
Maybe you are in a super safe location out of the way.
That's great.
But I would just say, honker down, blend in.
Don't draw attention to yourself.
Don't be known as the gringo that everybody knows is from America when America is about to be hated by a lot of the people in Mexico.
See, the other thing you got to realize in all of this, culturally, not everybody in Mexico hates the cartels.
And there's a lot of areas where the cartels are just considered family.
You know, this is the family business.
I mean, we think of them from the United States as being horrible, violent people.
But to people in certain areas, like small towns in Michio Can, et cetera, and other places, the cartels are not the enemy.
The government is perceived as the enemy.
The cartels are in some places perceived as the providers for the local economy.
I mean, that's just a matter of fact.
It's the way they're perceived.
So, if the U.S. moves against the cartels, you can't assume that all the people of Mexico are going to be on the side of the United States.
That is not going to be the case at all.
In fact, most of the people of Mexico will blame Trump for their problems, their economic problems, their job losses, their violence, their electricity disruptions, any kind of disruptions that are happening because of a U.S. military invasion of Mexico.
It's going to get blamed on the old Norte Americanos.
It's going to be blamed on America.
I keep saying America.
The United States.
But Los Hastados Unidos is going to get the blame for all this.
And Americans will not be safe in Mexico for sure.
Well, at least that's my take on it.
So be cautious and be safe in everything that you do.
All right.
So with that said, we're going to jump into the interviews here.
Interviews In Puerto Vallarta00:16:17
So first of all, I interviewed Dan Dix.
This was around 8 p.m. Central Sunday night.
And from his hotel room in, I think it's called Puerto Vallarta.
Is that the name of the city there where they're holding the event?
And then Aaron Day, who is also there right now, and he is stuck.
He is stuck for days.
They don't know how they're going to get out.
And the interview with Aaron has no video, but the interview with Dan Dix has Dan on video.
But I'm not on video because I'm not in my studio on Sunday nights.
So I recorded it from my home studio where I don't have a camera set up.
So here come the interviews.
This will give you a lot of good information.
I encourage you to follow both of these individuals on X.
So Dan Dix, his X handle is Dan Dix P T F, which is short for Press for Truth.
Oh, I guess it's PFT.
Press for Truth.
Yeah, Dan Dix PFT.
That's the correct one.
And then Aaron Day is, I think, Aaron R. Day is his handle on X.
So follow them both.
And here come the interviews, and then we'll continue on the other side.
One and only day I was supposed to spend it on the beach with my lovely wife.
And we went out there and immediately noticed smoke.
Black smoke everywhere.
To the left of me, there was smoke to the right of me, behind me.
And I knew these are fires.
Something major is going on.
Quickly looked into what was happening.
And sure enough, major cartel war kicking off.
We got this El Mucho guy being captured and I believe killed.
And the cartel launching a full-out attack.
They were going into the streets and setting up blockades, pulling over cars.
Oh man, one heck of a day for me.
I didn't see it coming out like this.
All right.
Welcome, everybody.
This is Mike Adams here interviewing Dan Dix, just an extraordinary freedom fighter.
Pressfortruth.ca is his website, and he is in Puerto Vallarta with real-time reports of what's going on.
So go for it, Dan.
What's happening?
Oh, man.
One heck of a day for me.
I didn't see it coming out like this.
I've been here working for the last five days.
I've been invited to speak at a conference.
So today was the one and only day I was supposed to spend it on the beach with my lovely wife.
And we went out there and immediately noticed smoke.
Black smoke everywhere.
To the left of me, there was smoke to the right of me, behind me.
And I knew these are fires.
Something major is going on.
Quickly looked into what was happening.
And sure enough, major cartel war kicking off.
We got this El Mucho guy being captured and I believe killed.
And the cartel launching a full-out attack.
They were going into the streets and setting up blockades, pulling over cars.
There were members of the conference that I was speaking at, attendees, who had their taxi taken over by cartels.
The driver was murdered in front of them, shot in the head, and then it was burned.
And all their luggage, including their passport that was in the luggage, was burned up in this taxi car.
So people who were just at the same conference that I was at were being directly affected.
And then they were pulling over, you know, stopping buses and lighting them on fire.
They have already set on fire a Costco, a number of OXO convenience stores.
They went into a hospital and there were people running and fearing for their lives.
The Guadalajara airport was under major attack from the cartel.
The Puerto Vallerta airport is currently shut down as well.
All flights have been halted.
I'm supposed to fly out of here tomorrow, but that's not happening anymore, Mike.
I just got the email saying my flight has been canceled due to this situation.
So it's pretty intense.
I got to say, I mean, I stepped outside of my hotel at one point to capture a little bit of footage, and it was like a destitute wasteland.
There was nobody out there except for burning, smoldering cars.
And at one point, some military men drove by me very, very slowly with big guns and ski masks.
And I got to admit, I was afraid for my life at that moment because I didn't know if this was cartel.
And even if it wasn't cartel, the military is the target right now of the cartel.
So things got really intense there for a moment there.
And they're still currently pretty intense.
Things have died down a little bit.
It's like 8 p.m. now.
But who knows if they're going to continue to strike in the night?
Okay, first of all, I want to encourage everybody to follow you on X. Also, give us your X handle, please.
Yeah, it's Dan Dix PFT.
I used to have an account at Twitter.
That's currently, I mean, Press for Truth that's still suspended, believe it or not.
But my personal account is still going.
Dan DixPFT.
And yes, I've been uploading footage to that all day.
I have footage of me showing the smoldering cars on the beach, footage of myself walking around in the area around this hotel that I'm currently at.
And also just documenting the events from my balcony here.
But we're basically on lockdown right now in this hotel.
They've told us not to go anywhere.
I did go outside of the hotel at one point today.
And as I said, it was pretty terrifying at one point, you know, when I had the military staring me down.
And Cartel is known to dress up looking very militant, military-like here in Mexico.
So I don't know what I was dealing with.
We're being told that all Americans, and we'll include Canadians in the group here as well, are being told to shelter in place.
That's what you were just talking about.
But do you have any additional information on whether U.S. military sources provided the key intel to the Mexican military to kill that cartel leader?
Yeah, I do not, but I absolutely would not be surprised.
I mean, you know, these cartel gangs and stuff like that are often in bed with the government, and they can be used to do the bidding of the government.
And is this escalating into a much bigger kind of situation?
It very well may.
I mean, Trump has mentioned taking out certain cartel members before in the past.
And so if there's military involvement coming from that area, I mean, this could escalate into bigger things.
But where this is actually coming from and who's behind it, I haven't had time to look at any of that.
I'm, of course, here just kind of documenting things on the ground, doing a number of interviews.
But I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if there's some shady things going on behind the scenes because that's how these guys often operate.
I have other sources who told me in the last two hours, sources who are very close to certain military bases in the continental United States that say there's a tremendous amount of traffic moving out.
There are soldiers being deployed south, not to Iran in this case, but toward Mexico.
I'm very concerned about that because that means Trump is anticipating something larger.
Well, you know, the cartel here have already warned that if their demands are not met, they are going to escalate this into going into private homes and potentially entering hotels and resorts and places like the place I'm in right now.
In fact, I do believe the government said they may be cutting the power.
And I don't know if that's just to try to stifle the efforts of the cartel or if it's just to add to the, you know, to the tension of the situation.
But at any state, I mean, it's not looking good right now for people in Puerto Vallerta, Mike.
I mean, we really need to pray for everybody here right now because lives have been turned, flipped upside down here.
You know, it's absolutely insane what's going on now.
Not to mention all the people who can't go home, who are stranded and stuck, but the people who have been killed.
I mean, like, we saw that there's so many cars that are on fire.
Like I said, motorcycles, buses, cars.
They went into a grocery store.
Like, there's footage of a Costco on fire, multiple convenience stores on fires, grocery stores on fire.
These guys aren't messing around.
I mean, whoever's behind the strings pulling this is absolutely dead serious.
And I don't know if this is just going to go away in a matter of 24 to 48 hours or if this is going to escalate and be the beginning of something much, much larger.
I guess we'll tell.
Is there, and by the way, thank you again for taking the time to speak with me.
And please keep in your mind here something.
Is there anything that we can do to help you and others there?
But let me ask you this other question first.
Is there any indication that, of course, tourism is a very big industry for Mexico, really critical.
Is there an indication that the cartel, and I think this is the Jalisco New Generation cartel, I believe it is, that they're trying to make this very visible, sort of an exaggerated visibility of fires.
Like I've seen footage of them setting gas stations on fire.
You know, strategically, that doesn't do much, but psychologically, it does a lot.
Are you seeing things like that?
It certainly feels like that.
And you're right.
When you're setting gas stations on fire, that's more so to cause a scene internationally.
And I've seen things like that before, you know, at the G20 in Toronto.
I made a documentary film about that back in 2010, for example, where it was police agent provocateurs who were set up, putting the police cars in the situation and lighting them on fire as a photo op for the media to be able to paint the picture and look, look how bad this situation is.
We need to go in.
We need to shut it down.
And I mean, that very well could be them thinking about the photo op opportunity to get just the fear in the minds of the masses about what's happening here, whether or not they want them to think that they are all mighty and powerful or that there's something bigger going on.
But when I was looking around on the beach and there was like massive fires on one side of me, massive fires on the other, the opposite side of the hotel, there's smoke billowing all over the place.
I mean, it's a horrifying scene.
And, you know, whether or not that's coming up organically or if it's all part of a photo op, I don't know.
But at any rate, it doesn't look good.
Well, I've noticed online that the Mexican embassy is engaged in a lot of damage control right now and trying to say it's not that big of a deal.
And it's mostly more under control than it was a few hours ago.
Are you seeing evidence of that?
For example, are you hearing any gunshots?
Are you hearing any bombs?
Or is that long gone hours ago?
That was hours ago.
It did seem like as soon as nightfall kind of happened, things quieted down a little bit.
But I mean, who's to say they're not going to launch attacks in the dead of the night?
I mean, they've already promised to go into private homes and potentially resorts and hotels.
And if they want to get the international press outraged, that's something they can certainly do.
So yes, it does seem to have temporarily quieted down a little bit.
And I hope that is the reality for the rest of this whole thing, that this was just a one-off, one-day kind of situation, and that's the end of it.
But something makes me feel like this isn't the end.
Something makes me feel that this is potentially going to escalate over time.
And we could just be seeing the beginning of something much, much larger, especially if the U.S. military is publicly getting involved.
I mean, as far as I know, Donald Trump has not really publicly said much about this.
I think the last thing he publicly talked about was Canada losing the hockey game in the Olympics, you know?
So he's kind of like, mom's the word right now.
Maybe he just doesn't want to show his hand.
Maybe he doesn't want to reveal his cards, but it's tough to say where this is going to go.
This is also politically, this is a huge opportunity for Trump to do something positive and humanitarian, which would be to bring in some C-130 cargo planes, land them at the airport there, and evacuate Americans and Canadians and get them out of there.
I mean, that would be seen as a humanitarian rescue operation.
Yeah, and, you know, it kind of makes me want to investigate the Canadian consulate around here and maybe find out, like, hey, what sort of action plans do you have in place for things like this?
Are you prepared for things like this?
Do you know what to do when something like this happens?
Are you willing to save your own people in this kind of scenario?
Or are you just kind of sitting with your hands tied behind your back?
I mean, I may, you know, since my flight is canceled tomorrow, maybe I'll have an opportunity to contact the Canadian consulate in my area or at least find the closest one head on down there, get them on the record, get them on film explaining their position on this and whether or not they're prepared for something like this.
But that could potentially be interesting, or maybe at the very least, I'll give them a phone call.
But we'll see.
We'll see if they see a plan.
Very important.
And I'll be monitoring your ex account, by the way, during the day.
So keep us all posted.
But also, I would say, historically, for example, the way the U.S. treated its own citizens in Afghanistan doesn't bode well for at least the way the U.S. government does things.
Perhaps the Canadian government typically would be more compassionate.
Well, considering Canada is kind of morphing into a culture of death, you know, with over 100,000 people killed by assisted suicide in the MAID program.
You know, we've got transgender people shooting up schools like it's like it's nothing.
It's the largest shooting in the history of the country just happened like a week ago.
So, I mean, Canada is a mess right now.
So, I mean, like I said, it's evolving into like a culture of death that I wouldn't be surprised if they're not too, you know, overly concerned with getting guys like me out of here right now.
I hope I'm wrong.
I hope I'm wrong.
Well, I hope you're wrong too.
But also, of course, you're critical of the Canadian government, as I am, and I'm critical of my own government as well.
So it's not like we are the top rescue material for our own government.
That's just the reality of the situation.
Let me ask you, are you aware of the cartel's demands?
What are they?
I'm really not sure, but as I understand it, and I'm just picking up a little bit of news here and there, and I haven't been able to verify much of this, but I think maybe they've captured the son of one of these top guys as well who was captured and are potentially going to be interrogating them soon.
And so if that is in fact true, and like I said, I haven't verified this yet, but if it is true, I mean, I think that's a sign that this isn't about to slow down anytime soon and that this could just be the beginning of something much, much larger.
Again, I hope that's not the case because we're kind of in the thick of it now.
Community In Puerto Vallerta00:10:35
I did not know this was going to be happening today, obviously.
Like I said, I had one day to enjoy the beach, and sure enough, I had to get right back to work because the world was seemingly blowing up all around me.
But man, oh man, I'm going to obviously be here tomorrow and potentially much longer now.
I have no idea what's going to happen with my flight.
All I know is it's being canceled.
So we'll see.
How are you and others doing in terms of being self-reliant to be able to last for a couple of days in your hotel, especially if they take the power grid down?
And typically, I think they would do that in order to take down the cell towers so that the cartel members can't communicate with each other through the cell towers.
That's probably why.
Yeah, that is probably why.
But thankfully, thankfully, there is a really solid community here in Puerto Vallerta of activists, researchers, a number of journalists, friends I know actually live here.
And as I said, I'm just coming back from a conference.
Like in the last few days, I just spoke in front of 700 people, like-minded people who are fans of Press for Truth.
And many of them are residents of Pu Vallerta.
So I think, and this is why community is so important and why we need to continue to network with like-minded people.
And so if things do go worse than I would hope they go, luckily I'm in a place where I have a community who I can reach out to and I can contact and I can get in touch with them and not have to rely on getting into a taxi or an Uber or anything like that.
And I can probably have some people pick me up, take me to a safe home and things like that.
Because there is a good community of people here in Puerto Vallerta.
I just spoke at Anarchipoco.
It's a group of, you know, basically a bunch of anarchists, people who are very, very, you know, speaking out against what the government does.
They get it.
You know, they understand the boat that I'm in.
And thankfully, I've managed to make a lot of good friends in the last few days of people who live here in Puerto Vallerta.
So thankfully, I'm probably going to be okay should things get bad.
But the same can't be said for a lot of the other people who are here.
So again, I hope your viewers just pray for everybody in Puerto Vallerta because thankfully I managed to make a good community of friends here and recently, just in the last few days, met a whole bunch of fantastic people who know what's up.
But that's certainly not the case for everyone around here.
Understood.
Yeah.
And people are praying for you.
I've seen many, many comments online.
But I also want to mention that apparently the cartel violence that was just triggered is spread across dozens of areas of Mexico.
So it is widespread.
It appears to be widely coordinated and extremely well funded.
So I think that kind of speaks to what you said earlier, that this might be just the beginning of some escalation yet to come.
Yeah, as I understand it, like the Guadalajara airport was completely taken over.
There's certain footage, not shot by me, but of people on rooftops in Puerto Vallerta with just multiple explosions and fires all over the place.
And I've seen the names of like six or seven different places all over Mexico, many of which I can't pronounce or not going to try to do that right now.
But yeah, this thing is widespread.
This thing is all over.
And when you engage with the cartel to this kind of an extent, it's going to be widespread.
It's going to be big.
They're going to have a massive response.
And that's exactly what we're seeing now.
God forbid the power gets cut.
I hope and pray that doesn't happen, but that still could happen.
I mean, it could happen in the middle of this interview.
I hope it doesn't.
But, you know, it's really tough to say where this is going to go from here.
But yes, widespread all across Mexico.
I really hope people take this seriously because, as I said, when I went outside today, it was pretty scary.
It's calmed down now, but hopefully this isn't just the eye of the hurricane with more to come tomorrow.
Right, right, exactly.
I've got a couple more questions for you.
We'll wrap this up soon.
I really respect your time.
But one of those questions is, and I apologize in advance if it seems like I'm prying, but does this change your outlook of returning to Mexico for future events?
Not really, to be honest.
I mean, I've been speaking at this particular event.
This is my seventh year, you know, and it's usually held in Acapulco, which is more famously, you know, everybody thinks it's a scary place to go, but I've never really let those kind of things dictate my life.
You know, I've got the armor of God and protection around me, and I don't necessarily concern myself with those things.
So yes, this was bad.
This was bad timing for me, but I'm not going to let it scare me certainly away from coming back.
I'll probably be invited back to this conference next year and come again, whether it's in Acapulco or Puerto Vallerta or wherever they decide to host it next time.
But no, I'm not going to let this scare me because the moment you start doing that, the moment they win, whether that's the cartel or the government, you have to continue fighting the good fight in this battle in the new world order with no fear moving forward.
And that's what I'm going to continue to do.
Understood.
Okay, last question for you.
What about drones?
Did you hear or see any drones by either side, the cartels or the government, today?
I haven't seen any drones.
Again, I was only outside briefly.
And when I was outside, it was very eerily quiet.
Like there was zero cars on the road.
Nobody was out there at all.
I was like the only guy.
And then the military drove by and my heart started pounding for a sec because I wasn't sure what they're, you know, they see me filming with my camera in front of a smoldering car.
And they're like guys with huge machine guns and ski masks in camo.
And I didn't know if it was the cartel or not, but that's the only thing I saw.
One pickup truck full of eight dudes with machine guns.
And that was the only thing I saw.
And then I came back into the safety of this hotel and haven't seen anything since.
So I'm not too sure about that, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're buzzing around out there right now.
Okay.
Well, you want to give us your website and your ex handle one more time?
Sure.
Yeah.
I'm on all the major platforms.
You can find me on BitChute or Rumble or Odyssey or Minds or Hive or Band or YouTube.
But I mean, I've been banned from there and reinstated and banned again and reinstated again.
So I wouldn't necessarily rely on that one.
But the best place to go is pressfortruth.ca.
Or if you want to go to pressfortruth.ca slash subscribe, you can find all those platforms that I post on.
My Twitter is Dan Dix PFT, like the letters for Press for Truth, Dan Dix PFT.
If you want to follow me there, it'd be greatly appreciated.
And if anybody does want to contribute to my efforts to cover this stuff, you can go to pressfortruth.ca slash donate.
I don't know how I'm getting home yet or what this is going to look like.
But really, sharing the content is first and foremost.
And also praying for the people of Puerto Vallarta, because it's not me we need to worry about here, guys.
It's the peoples whose lives have been completely flipped upside down and the families who have lost loved ones.
That's who we need to worry about today.
Yeah, well said.
And I think you answered the last question, but is there anything else that our listeners can do to help resolve or de-escalate this situation?
Well, I mean, I would imagine that there's going to be some fundraising going on.
Hopefully it gets directed into the right direction.
But as it is now, the best thing you can do to help me is to share the content because I'm boots on the ground reporting and you're going to get the kind of stuff that you're not going to see from the mainstream media necessarily.
So the best thing to do is just continue to share the content.
And if I come across any links that I feel are important to share, especially when it comes to maybe raising funds for family members who have lost loved ones, I will certainly get that out as best I can.
Okay, sounds great.
Now stand by because I want to make sure that you can reach me directly.
I'll give you my information right after this.
But let me just tell the audience.
So that's Dan Dix, everybody, pressfortruth.ca.
And you can follow more of my videos at brightvideos.com, where I'll continue to cover this.
And my handle on X is HealthRanger.
So thank you for watching and pray for everybody's safe return.
All right.
Welcome, everyone.
We have an update from Aaron Day, who is, I believe, in Puerto Vallarta following one of the conferences there.
So welcome, Aaron.
Are you able to hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you.
Thank you for having me back.
Absolutely.
Thank you for taking the time to join me.
You want to give us your rough location and the situation there right now?
Yeah, I'm in Puerto Vallarte, and we've been down here for about a week.
We've actually been in Mexico for two weeks, hitting a bunch of conferences down here.
We hit Mineritopia first, and then we were here for Anarca Poco, which is usually an Acapoco, but they moved it here.
And actually, it's been a terrific week up until today.
This area is actually one of the safest areas in Mexico, or at least historically has been.
Breakfast Updates: Smoke and Reinforcements00:07:25
So, you know, it started out weird this morning, which today is actually the last day of the conference.
So everything went great.
We actually had that kind of the final wrap-up dinner last night.
And then this morning we were getting ready to go to breakfast.
And, you know, my wife and I are looking outside.
And there are like these three huge plumes of smoke.
And, you know, my wife's asking the maids or whatever, you know, what they think is going on.
And they didn't respond.
They wouldn't give us any information.
They were just sitting there looking at the, you know, looking at the smoke just like we were.
And so then we went down for breakfast.
And I, you know, got, I had my iPad on me or whatever, and I searched the news to see what was going on because it just seemed like it was a fire.
I didn't, you know, see, but there was quite a bit of smoke that was actually carrying over all the way over to where we were and couldn't, didn't hear anything, didn't find any news stories about it.
The hotel said nothing about it.
In fact, to this day, I mean, we've been here all day.
This has been going on for more than 12 hours.
And we've heard nothing from the hotel.
No notice anywhere, no letter under the door, no telephone call, nothing, which to me all remains very bizarre about this whole process.
And so we go out to the, we rent a cabana and we're out there trying to get some sun.
And I've got my iPad on me.
And I see Dan Dix, his feet, his feet comes up.
And, you know, and I actually saw the video and I thought maybe he was joking because the title of it was, you know, Cartel Violence in Puerto Villarte.
But he has this really nice background where it's just the beach and everything.
So I thought he was maybe joking.
But I listened to it anyway.
And it turned out, lo and behold, there's all this stuff going on and explosions everywhere.
And, you know, and then we finally begin to learn about what happened.
So it's been a very odd day.
Indeed.
And I just spoke with Dan a few minutes ago, and he said that they're being told that the government might turn off the power temporarily, probably to try to dissuade the cartels from using cell towers for coordination.
How recent is that?
Because I heard him say that probably six hours or so ago, but I haven't heard any new update since then.
Well, I don't know how old his information was, but he told me that just literally 15 minutes ago.
Wow.
So who knows, right?
Who knows?
It's a sketchy situation.
Well, yeah, well, so it's finally started to unfold and we started to learn what was going on.
And I guess, you know, one of the largest cartel heads or whatever was taken out.
And then, you know, there's still some question as to how much involvement the U.S. government had.
And that people, I think, are still trying to track down.
But then this is all retaliation for that.
Or at least this is what the popular story is right now.
I honestly don't know necessarily what's actually going on, but we could see smoke everywhere.
And, you know, the people that are attending this conference are spread out.
We're not in one venue.
We're in all different venues.
So people at the conference were trying to get a hold of each other.
And people have different vantage points.
And so, you know, I mean, sure enough, they're lighting stores on fire.
I think there's a Costco here that they started exploding cars and then they actually set the store itself on fire.
And so, you know, putting up blockades everywhere.
And then, you know, they would start to issue these threats if by such and such a time, you know, at some point, I think it was by 5 p.m., if their demands hadn't been met.
And I think their demands were they wanted the release of the body of the cartel head that was assassinated.
And then on top of that, they wanted his son.
And then, you know, I guess the other thing is they want the person responsible for this.
They apparently want to do something with that person.
So those are the demands, but the demands have not been met.
And they haven't started to do what they said they were going to do, which was actually break into homes and break into hotels and start hurting civilians.
So this was the threat that was issued for 5 p.m.
So we've been sitting here for the last four and a half hours waiting to see how that plays out.
And my understanding is that the Mexican military has actually ramped up their efforts.
And so we have seen helicopters out our window.
So I guess some reinforcements have come in.
But there's no notification.
There's nothing on the local news.
Like you actually have to get into a telegram group or Dan Dix or whatever.
It's just unimaginable how little information is coming out of the government, the police, or even the hotel.
The hotel still hasn't even acknowledged it.
I mean, we ordered room service, but it's almost like they've been instructed to not speak about the event at all.
And as we're sitting here and we look out over our balcony, there are people there that have been out at the pool and like out at the beach all day as if they didn't know what was going on, as if there's no information.
I mean, I guess maybe if you didn't have Dan Dix on your feed while you were out at the pool, you might not know what was going on.
Well, but surely they could have seen all the smoke because it seems like there were a lot of fires going.
There were a lot of fires, and the fires were the worst this morning, actually.
So that's where it was really heavy.
I mean, like 7:30 in the morning, 7:30, 8 o'clock in the morning was when it was really bad.
It got better over the rest of the day.
So it almost seemed like it could have been a building caught on fire and they put the building out, right?
From our vantage point.
So this is why we weren't overly worried about it.
You know, again, when we saw the smoke and then I checked the news and I didn't see anything, anything major, and then the smoke subsided, I didn't really think there was much to worry about until later on in the process.
I'm just again, I'm looking at my iPad.
I'm like, hey, we should probably go up to the room.
I've seen footage from the airport, the Guadalajara airport, I believe, that showed people panicked and screaming and running.
There have been many videos of automatic gunfire.
What have you seen or heard yourself in terms of gunfire or explosions?
If anything, we've heard a little bit of gunfire that's kind of faint from the distance.
And I think I heard one small explosion.
It wasn't all that loud.
And frankly, it could have been something else.
You know what I mean?
I mean, it was that faint.
Faint Gunfire Heard00:03:32
So I think where we're located and the fact that we haven't, we obviously haven't journeyed outside of the hotel property.
We haven't witnessed it that close.
But we do still see smoke.
I mean, we actually see smoke from, you know, both sides of the balcony and then the other, you know, the hallway.
We can see that, but that's still fairly distant from where we're located.
Now, I was supposed to give a talk at 2:45 and, you know, at another venue, and I got notified in advance.
Well, we already knew what was going on, but I actually just ended up giving the presentation via Zoom.
So, you know, I guess there were some people at this venue and they decided to continue in Zoom format just because they thought that it might calm people more to continue with the program than I guess to just have everybody freaking out.
Okay.
Okay.
What?
So you don't have any way out of there right now.
Do you have any information that would let you know how, when, or how you're going to leave?
We don't.
And I, I mean, I've got a double whammy here, actually.
We were already facing logistical problems because I'm flying back to New Hampshire, but that's through Boston.
And this morning when we were checking, I think maybe they've changed the forecast a little bit, but they were looking at three up to three feet of snow in Boston.
Oh, my.
So we weren't going to be able to fly.
We were supposed to fly out tomorrow and then, you know, through California and then take a red eye or whatever.
We were anticipating that we'd be home Tuesday morning, and that was already kind of preemptively canceled.
So we were already in the process of changing our flight reservations and had actually decided we were going to extend a couple of days just because we couldn't get back.
But as it stands now, I mean, yeah, it's looking like maybe Thursday.
The airport is closed.
Right now, the airport is completely closed.
And when we went to go rebook the flight that we were supposed to be on tomorrow, they said that the earliest thing that they had was Thursday.
And then, you know, we have a connecting flight in California.
And the earliest flight we could get from California back to Boston was Friday because of the shutdown on the East Coast.
So, I mean, if everything goes well, we'll be back home by Friday.
My goodness.
I mean, okay, that just seems, yeah, double whammy.
Like you said, that's the best way to put it.
So what, first of all, are you posting about this?
How can people keep up with you?
I mean, I've been posting a little bit.
I've been posting a text.
I haven't really wanted to share my location.
I'm still not going to share my location.
And I'm not going out and doing, I'm grateful for the, I hope Dan stays safe, but I don't see a lot of ROI going out and filming this activity.
But we will be providing updates on X at Aaron R. Day.
Certainly as we learn more, of course, most of what I'm learning is actually coordinating with other people that are from the conference that are here that have a different vantage point or at different facilities.
Why The Timing Seems Suspicious00:05:43
I am in a Telegram group that turns out to be pretty interesting as well.
But I will say it's actually the best information out there.
There is no, quote, professional reporting or any media that is providing any useful information whatsoever.
They're recycling six-hour old information.
Can you send me that Telegram group link through the way we communicate?
I'd like to tune into that as well.
Is there anything that people can do to help you and others there who are stock at the moment?
You know, yeah, I don't think so.
I mean, just send positive intentions and that kind of thing.
But I don't, I'm not sure what to do.
I mean, to be honest with you, this whole thing seems fishy because I'm sitting here.
You know, there are rumors that we're going to bomb Iran tomorrow.
And I'm just wondering, the timing on this seems really suspicious.
You know, and I'm not throwing out any particular conspiracy theory, but if we are about to attack Iran, if the U.S. government is involved in this, which there are conflicting reports on this, CBS reported that we were, but that's not exactly a source of factual information.
Why would the U.S. engage in this and support the timing on this, knowing that this location is a prime destination for U.S. citizens during spring break, and also knowing they're about to engage in a conflict in the Middle East?
That seems really odd to me because you would have to expect if you launched a mission like this, you would have to expect that there was blowback.
And by the way, they're reporting on this for the first, you know, I don't know, say from seven o'clock in the morning until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
You can see some other videos on this.
Like the cops were nowhere.
There was like no resistance to what was going on whatsoever.
It was almost as if they were standing down.
There was nothing going on by way of countering the cartels, which, you know, again, wouldn't you have to expect this kind of retaliation?
Well, yes.
But the other factor is I've heard from other sources that there appears to be a mobilization of U.S. military forces out of bases in California right now headed for the southern border.
So I'm wondering if this is some kind of setup for Trump to justify military operations against the cartels.
Yeah, I've heard that.
And I've also heard the idea that Mexico maybe tried to force the hand to get help.
But again, nevertheless, the timing on this, if you believe the stuff that's going on in Iran and all of the resources and assets that we're putting there, were kind of overstretched.
But maybe that is the case.
And there's, you know, honestly, the talk of my talk today was about technocracy.
So even though I'm here now and this is not a great situation, I'm already against whatever AI surveillance or whatever they want to put in place to track us more as a result of this activity.
Absolutely.
Because we can anticipate that that's going to come, right?
You can already see Laura Loomer, you can already see the debate and everything else.
And people are calling for all kinds of additional border control.
But I mean, it's going to lead into, I mean, Loomer hasn't done it yet, but last time something happened, she was calling for Palantir drones on the West Coast somewhere.
So we need to calm down on that a bit.
I mean, you know, the war on drugs has been going on for a long time, and this has not been a particularly effective conflict for the United States government to engage in.
I don't know why they think maybe it would be different this time, or maybe they don't think it's going to be different, and they're just using it for an additional pretext to continue to accelerate the technocracy, which has been going full steam ahead with real ID, backdoor CBDCs, now the Clarity Act coming up.
You know, it was interesting.
I was in a meeting a few weeks back, and this is right after the whole thing with Venezuela.
And people were talking about the fact that it was odd that initially the whole pretext for this was about stopping the narco-terrorism.
And then all of a sudden, once we got into it, we even dropped that altogether and just said, ah, no, this is about oil.
We actually stopped even trying to have some moral component to it.
And in the end, Trump was just blatantly outright saying it's about the oil.
So we seem to have a shift in our language and our policy.
Well, Venezuela was clearly about the oil.
And the other question, well, I want to be respectful of your time.
So we'll wrap this up shortly.
But Mexico is a primary provider of silver.
And if the silver mines or the transportation from the silver mines gets compromised, that could have some very severe industrial and economic implications.
It could.
Or, you know, is this being done so that we can come in and take these things over?
I mean, we seem to be, I mean, what are we doing in Iran?
Continuing News Implications00:02:44
I mean, listen, I'm seeing this again.
You know, how many times does this have to be recycled?
Oh, you know, Iran is one day away from a nuclear bomb or whatever.
It's like we've been hearing that for decades.
Yep.
And at some point, it's all just manufactured for some ulterior purpose.
I don't know what it is yet.
I mean, I will say I'd be very curious to see how, you know, I've talked a lot about Howard Lutnick and the stuff going on with Tether, but Howard Ludnick's been out there promoting these tariffs while at the same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm that he started, was betting against it.
I guess just made billions of dollars on the Supreme Court ruling.
So I think it'd be good for somebody to analyze the markets and see who placed any bets that benefit from what's going on here.
That to me is always a very telling, that's probably the most telling thing about what's actually going on.
But I don't know what that is yet, but that to me is a good place to go to start to look.
Absolutely.
All right, Aaron, please stand by.
And I want to give you an opportunity just to, you know, for your website.
You already mentioned your Twitter handle, but how can people follow your various, you've got a couple of sites.
Want to share those?
Yeah, we've got six sites, but you can access them through daylightfreedom.org.
And, you know, some of the really good ones, there's Technocracy Atlas, which is a website with, which unfortunately I can't access because I can't access my remote system.
So I need to update it.
But it has all the Epstein files, all of the offshore leaks, Panama papers, that kind of thing.
It's a tool for people to crowdsource research and kind of follow the information.
And then there are other tools.
There's a medical tourism marketplace called oasana.com and my podcast and so forth.
So I won't go through all six of the sites, but you can get to them at daylightfreedom.org.
Perfect.
Okay, Aaron.
Well, we're praying for your safety.
And I'm so thankful that you took the time to spend with me here.
And I want to also tell the audience, you're the one other person that totally understands AI like I do.
And in a world where in America, people keep rejecting the machine cognition advancements, you get it and you're applying it.
So I want to thank you for that.
And I look forward to you getting back home soon.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
And hopefully we'll do our next one on AI soon.
That sounds great.
Okay.
Stand by.
Don't hang up yet, please.
And to our audience, thank you for listening.
We're speaking with Aaron Day, and you can catch more of my updates and videos at brightvideos.com.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thanks for listening.
U.S. Military Deployment to Mexico00:08:37
All right.
Continuing with the news of what's happening in Mexico and some of the implications, but I think you have a lot more background now after hearing those two interviews.
I've got some late reports that the cartel, which is known as the CJNG, that's Cartel, what is it, Cartel Jalisco Nueva, Generación, CJNG.
I don't know how we refer to that in America in English.
Do we just say like the Jalisco cartel or whatever?
Anyway, that a bunch of those gunmen have ambushed the civil guard of Michio Can, which is the state police of the state of Michio Can.
That's alarming because that means that the cartels are beginning to escalate attacks against law enforcement, which is, you know, this is just a step towards a widening civil war or a revolution, maybe is a better term.
An uprising against some local government or let's say the anti-cartel elements of local governments.
Because of course, many police, many military in Mexico are bought off by the cartels and work in association with the various cartels.
But those who don't are no doubt being targeted right now.
So there's kind of a there's a law enforcement purge happening and a military purge happening where the cartels are specifically targeting military and police that they do not control.
And, you know, it's not difficult to see that this could escalate dramatically.
And even though this is still early in this, as I'm reporting, we don't yet know Trump's intentions.
We don't yet know if the U.S. military is going to put boots on the ground in Mexico and try to go against these cartels.
And what does that do to the president of Mexico?
Because she is a pro-cartel president.
She's between a rock and a hard place in that case because she has to call for law and order, but she can't go against the cartels or they will assassinate her, obviously, because that's how politics works in Mexico.
And my other question is, from a military standpoint, a U.S. military, what happens if the U.S. gets bogged down in what I'm going to call sort of the Vietnam south of the border?
You know, you try to occupy Mexico?
Mexico is a big country.
It's huge.
And it's inhospitable much of the year.
Certain parts are, obviously.
How are you going to occupy Mexico when you're already busy sending so many troops to the Middle East?
And it's rumored that you're going to be invading Iran with a few thousand troops, some of whom won't be coming home, probably.
It seems to me like Trump is picking too many fights at the same time.
And that Trump has a sense of invincibility following probably his success in Venezuela.
And I think that it's very likely that this is just my opinion, but I think it's likely that Trump's own cabinet and military advisors are giving him really rosy information, like overly optimistic.
Oh, yeah, we can do anything.
We're the strongest military in the world.
We can fight three wars.
In fact, somebody said that in the Pentagon.
I'm remembering now, sometime in last year, they said we could fight three fronts.
We could fight four fronts.
No, you can't.
The U.S. already had to pull aircraft carriers away from Venezuela.
The Gerald Ford had to be pulled out and pushed over to the Mediterranean, I believe, to help provide air cover for Israel.
I mean, how many carriers do we have deployed now in the Middle East?
Is it three?
Or is it four?
It's the Lincoln, the Eisenhower, and the Ford, isn't it?
Maybe there's another one, but we only have 12 carriers and half of them are in port getting repaired right now.
And I think we need one of them over near Taiwan, probably, in the Pacific.
So this is like a significant portion of the U.S. naval and air force assets are already deployed against Iran.
What does that leave for invading and occupying Mexico if that's the plan?
We don't have enough people.
And we just don't have enough people, period.
So I don't even know what this plan is.
I guess we should wait for more information because it is a lot of conjecture right now.
I admit we don't yet know exactly what's happening.
As far as I can tell, the U.S. State Department hasn't even issued a statement about any of this stuff.
It's like, where's the State Department?
Are they all asleep right now?
I don't even, I don't know.
I've been looking for statements.
I can't find anything.
But I'm wondering if Trump might send a plane, you know, like a rescue plane into the Guadalajara airport to say to all Americans, you know, get on the plane and you got to ride out of here.
I'm just wondering.
Anyway, that story is developing, obviously.
So stay tuned.
I'll have more reports at naturalnews.com and I'll be posting interviews and commentary at brightvideos.com.
That's brightvideos.com.
I also have some breaking news from our friend Steve Slepsevich, who I've interviewed several times before.
He's the CEO of Strategic Response Partners and the Sabre defense team.
So let me read this for you.
This is a breaking announcement, an urgent notice for those who are stuck in Mexico.
Quote, Sabre defense team has deployed aviation assets and security personnel to Mexico and currently has pilots and aircraft on standby for private security extractions of U.S. citizens in Puerto Vallarta and surrounding areas.
We can provide secure transport with professional protection teams directly into Carlsbad Palomar Airport, San Diego County, for individuals, families, or small groups needing assistance returning safely to the United States.
He goes on.
Anyway, you can follow him, Strategic Response Partners.
His team is very capable.
They've been on site at, you know, many, I mean, I've interviewed Steve many times in the middle of hurricanes and things like that.
So no joke, his crew knows what they're doing.
Now, it's funny because I was just about to mention that Trump may be in a position where he could win some major PR points by sending a military extraction plane, like a C-130 or whatever, and have the U.S. military land at whatever airport or multiple airports and with armed personnel to defend the plane, etc.
And have Americans and Canadians or whatever nationalities would agree to go along with this, get them on the plane and get them out of there and get them back to the United States.
That would be a big political win for Trump, who, let's face it, desperately needs some points right now because he's nosediving in the polls, you know, defending and pushing glyphosate, etc.
This would be one thing that could help Trump in the polls and actually show a humanitarian side of rescuing trapped Americans, basically.
So we'll see what happens.
But I suppose the State Department would have to wake up and do something in order for that to happen.
Trump's Political Gamble00:06:57
So I'm not holding my breath.
That's for sure.
If you're listening to this and if you're in Mexico and you're trying to get out, don't wait for the government to do something.
You might be waiting forever.
Make other plans, you know, hunker down for now.
Probably obviously network with the people that you know there, find other ways out, and also brush up on your Espanol.
You know, that's one of the reasons why I forced myself.
When I lived in Ecuador, I forced myself to take the driver's license test because it was only given in Espanol, both verbal and written.
And I passed it.
I don't think I passed it with flying colors, but I did pass it.
I did pass it.
And so I got a driver's license in Ecuador.
And I was one of the relatively few Americans there who was able to do that, you know, because of the language skills.
So I always believe that it's critical to be able to speak the language where you go.
That's why to this day, I still study Chinese, especially when I'm exercising and jogging now.
I'm always doing Chinese courses and working to expand my vocabulary and my Chinese language literacy.
Because, well, Chinese is the language of technology now, by the way.
So that's a different podcast.
But you get my point.
Make sure you've got language literacy.
If you're going to travel to some place, spend 20 to 50 hours learning the language in case something happens, you're not just completely lost and you can't speak to the locals.
You need to be able to speak to the locals.
Okay, something else that's happening in Mexico, and this is in the Jalisco state.
20 branches of the state-owned bank known as Banco del Bienestar, which apparently handles payments to pensioners and like disability payments and state support.
20 branches of that bank were set on fire by the cartels.
So this is, you know, clearly this is designed to show that the state cannot protect you.
So the cartels are really, you know, trying to demonstrate that the state is weak.
And so far, they are definitely succeeding at doing that.
Also, I've been in touch with Josh Sigurdson from World Alternative Media, who has lived in Puerto Vallarta for six years, he says.
He says the following, he just posted this, quote, I've warned of this happening for years.
Do not buy the media propaganda.
This is a manufactured crisis.
Yeah, I think he's right.
Clearly, clearly this is engineered.
Somebody's behind this, and we just don't know their reason yet.
But they're up to something, like I said earlier.
They are most definitely up to something.
And we're probably going to find out soon what that is.
Now, in fact, I have to be very aware and careful about my own reporting on this because I don't want to inadvertently fall into supporting some larger agenda that I know nothing about that that's actually some nefarious agenda.
For example, I am not calling for a U.S. invasion of Mexico, just to be clear.
At most, I can understand a U.S. military extraction of U.S. and maybe Canadian citizens if Canada agrees to that.
But I'm not calling for an invasion.
Possibly that's the whole point behind this, is to really escalate the violence massively, because, of course, the CIA is often behind these certain cartel groups or certain terror groups in the Middle East, obviously.
I mean, look at the history of ISIS, etc.
So we all have to be careful here.
I don't want to fall into being inadvertently manipulated by a PSYOP campaign.
So right now I'm mostly just trying to report what's happening and asking a few questions.
I think we'll know more over the next two to three days.
Then I think the real plan will begin to congeal and it'll be more clear what this is all about.
The good news is we have a lot of really smart independent journalists and people online who are great sleuths and they're going to get to the bottom of this.
That's absolutely true.
Now, look, we know that Scheinbaum, the president of Mexico, we know she works for the cartels.
100%.
So is this maybe, is this, I'm just guessing, is it an effort to remove her from power?
Is it an effort to justify U.S. occupation?
What is it exactly?
Well, we're going to find out.
So I will keep you posted as best I can, of course.
Pray for the safety of everyone, not just Americans, but also the Mexican people.
Look, the vast majority of the people of Mexico are peaceful, hardworking people who just want to have a life without violence, just want to raise their families, just want to be able to keep a little something that they earned and have a meal, you know.
The people of Mexico are not bad people.
The government of Mexico is definitely a big problem, and of course the cartels, but the cartels are influenced by so many nefarious external forces that you can't really say that the cartels are like a spontaneous expression of just the people.
There are other forces involved there, including the CIA.
Again, we know probably Mossad is involved.
We know that China has some interaction with cartels, possibly to smuggle fentanyl across the U.S. border, etc.
So the so-called cartels are really more of an amalgamation of other international interests and pressures.
And the cartels are like a pressure cooker that ends up causing difficulty for the United States.
But whatever you do, don't blame the people of Mexico for what's going on today.
God-Given Right?00:07:27
The people just as much do not want any violence as you and I don't want violence.
Okay?
So let's just watch this carefully and see where it goes.
All right, I'm going to move on to the next important topic.
All right, Ambassador Huckabee, that is the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, was interviewed by Tucker Carlson just in the last few days.
And if you haven't yet seen that interview, you'll probably want to, because this is a very destructive, world-changing announcement by Huckabee in answering one of the questions from Tucker Carlson.
I'm going to play just a few minutes of that interview, a segment that's been selected by Ivan Rayklin.
And I think it's a really important segment because you need to hear how Huckabee, who is pretty well known as a boomer Zionist at this point, Huckabee says that Israel alone was granted by God the right to rule the entire Middle East.
Yet that includes Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Syria and all of it.
And this is a belief system that not only he has, but Israel has.
And a lot of Zionist Christians have this belief as well.
Except the thing is, Huckabee said it out loud, which alarmed the world and especially the other Arab leaders, leaders of other Arab nations around the region who have denounced Huckabee officially.
And I'll read that statement from, well, there's one from Saudi Arabia, but it involves numerous countries who have denounced this.
And now we're hearing calls for Huckabee must resign or he must be fired by Trump and he must apologize to the world for claiming that Israel has a God-given right to conquer and steal all the land it wants and to kill anybody who's already there.
But that's what Zionists believe because it's rooted in ethnic supremacism.
It is an ethnic supremacist belief system by definition.
But let's listen to Huckabee explain it in his own words.
So here's a couple minutes of Huckabee digging himself into this horrific philosophical position.
Check this out.
You've appealed to Genesis.
Genesis 15 says it's Abram, it's pre-Abraham, it's Abram, receives from God the news that his descendants will inherit the land.
And you tell me as the theologian, if I'm getting this wrong, but from the Euphrates to the Nile.
I think that's right.
And that would include basically the entire Middle East.
That would be the Levant.
So that would be Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon.
It would also be big parts of Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
I'm not sure it would go that far.
I mean, it would be a big piece of land.
But here's the point.
It would be a lot of places that are now countries that this particular area that we're talking about now, Israel, is a land that God gave through Abraham to a people that he chose.
It was a people, a place, and a purpose.
We can look at it that way.
Christian Zionism, I want to go back because that's where we started.
I'm not going to let you off on this because you have said three times that God gave this land to this people.
And so it is entirely fair for me with respect to ask, what land are you talking about?
Because I just read Genesis 15, as I have many times.
And that land, I think it says, from the Nile to the Euphrates, which is, once again, basically the entire Middle East.
So God gave that land to his people, the Jews, or he didn't.
You're saying he did.
What does that mean?
Does Israel have the right to that land?
Because you're appealing to Genesis.
You're saying that's the original deed.
It would be fine if they took it all.
Okay, that was actually from the Tucker Carlson Network there.
But you heard Huckabee, it would be fine if they took it all.
That's the belief of not just Huckabee himself, but I think, isn't his daughter the governor of Arkansas?
This is the belief of a lot, a lot of especially older Christian Zionists in America who were brought up on the Schofield Bible.
And they were brought up, and they were brainwashed into thinking that Israel, modern-day Israel, can do no wrong, and that modern-day Israel, founded in 1948, is the same Israel that is mentioned in the Old Testament.
And that when God made a promise to Abraham, and, you know, we could dissect that because, you know, ethnically or even genetically, most of the Jews living in Israel today are Europeans who came to occupy the land of Palestine.
And it's the Palestinians who are actually the descendants of Abraham, or at least have a larger claim to that.
But most Christian Zionists in America today agree with Huckabee and think that God gave modern-day Israel the right to kill anyone they want, to steal any land they want, to take any resources they want, to bomb anyone they want, and that this is a God thing, that God wants you to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing, that God wants you to pillage and rape and steal.
And that's insane.
Obviously, that's insane.
And, you know, Christian Zionism is an insane cult of lunatic ideas.
And what's amazing about what Tucker Carlson is doing is that he's exposing all of this just by asking questions.
This is a brilliant Socratic method of just asking Huckabee to clarify what he means.
And Huckabee says, well, I would be fine if they took it all.
Yeah, this is our ambassador to Israel.
So now we have, I mean, think about, there's about 14 countries that have now publicly condemned Huckabee.
That includes Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait, Pakistan, Bahrain, Oman, Palestine, and Syria, plus Gulf states organizations on top of that.
And then we have an actual joint statement.
Amman, February 22nd, 2026, the ministries of foreign affairs of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, etc., etc., etc., expressed their strong condemnation and profound concern regarding the statements made by the United States ambassador to Israel, in which he indicated that it would be acceptable for Israel to exercise control over territories belonging to Arab states,
including the occupied West Bank.
Bible Verses Debunked00:11:34
Now, by the way, note that Huckabee says that, well, God promised this to Abraham, but he can't actually point, I mean, there's so many counter-arguments to this.
To understand this, we have to point out that the Bible was not written by God.
The Bible was written by men, scribes, and the Old Testament was written almost entirely by Israeli scribes, you know, or for the most part.
And so it wasn't written by God.
God's signature is not on any document that you could point to.
These are books and writings and sometimes songs and psalms that were written by men and gathered by men.
And then there were sections that were excluded by men because they didn't want you to read these other parts that perhaps should have been in the Bible.
You know, the 66 chapters of the Bible that Christians recognize today are not recognized by Jews.
Jews don't recognize the New Testament at all or Jesus as a Savior.
And by the way, the Ethiopian Bible has 88 books.
Did I say chapters earlier?
I meant books.
So the Ethiopian Bible has 88 books, and the Christian Bible has 66 books, you could say, right?
So what about all the books that were left out?
Like the Book of Enoch, for example, or the Gospel of Thomas, right?
These were all left out.
Why?
Because they contradicted the centralized control of power that the church was exerting over its people.
And I don't have time to go into the whole history.
If you want to learn more about this, you can check out my interviews with Aaron Abke of the Jesus Way podcast.
He's the expert on this subject, and he's got a lot of detail about this.
I'll probably have him back on sometime later this year.
But Huckabee's claim that God gave this power to the descendants of Abraham, actually, if that were true, it would qualify the Palestinians as the rightful owners of all the land.
You see what I mean?
Because they are the offspring of Abraham.
Anyway, mostly the Zionist Christians that are the same age as Huckabee or older were all raised on the Schofield Bible.
They were all brainwashed from a very young age to believe that Israel can do no wrong, even if it's genocide.
It's totally okay with them.
So that's why they go along with this.
Well, the world has had enough.
The world is rejecting this whole thing because, of course, it's nonsense.
So continuing with this statement from Jordan and the other Arab states, quote, they affirm their country's categorical rejection of such dangerous and inflammatory remarks, which constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of international law and the Charter of the United Nations and pose a grave threat to the security and stability of the region.
Yeah, they're right.
See, Mike Huckabee says, well, the United Nations Charter doesn't count because God said so in this ancient text written by Israelites or Jewish scribes that we can't exactly trace the full history of anyway, but God said so, therefore the UN carries no weight and we can just invade and conquer any land we want.
That is literally Huckabee's position.
And that is literally the position of virtually all Zionists and Zionist Christians.
And it is a position that is, quote me on this, entirely incompatible with human civilization.
That philosophy is incompatible with human civilization.
If any nation on earth thinks that God gave it alone the right to conquer and kill and pillage and steal anything that it wants and that it's always God's will, then that nation needs to be stopped because that nation will only cause destruction and suffering and harm, which is exactly what Israel is doing.
So yes, Israel needs to be stopped.
Trump should turn around the U.S. Navy and point it back at Israel and go in and arrest Netanyahu, set the Israeli people free from their tyrannical government there run by a lunatic, genocidal, war criminal madman.
Anyway, continuing the statement from these Arab states, quote, the ministries stressed that these statements directly contradict the vision put forward by U.S. President Donald J. Trump, as well as the comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict, which are based on containing escalation and creating a political horizon for a comprehensive settlement that ensures the Palestinian people have their own independent state.
And it goes on.
It says, the ministries reaffirmed that Israel has no sovereignty whatsoever over the occupied Palestinian territory or any other occupied Arab lands.
They reiterated their firm rejection of any attempts to annex the West Bank or separate it from the Gaza Strip.
Their strong opposition to the expansion of settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory and their categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states.
And then here's the last paragraph.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
They continue, quote, They further warned that the continuation of Israel's expansionist policies and unlawful measures will only inflame violence and conflict in the region and undermine the prospects for peace, and called for an end to these incendiary statements.
The ministries underscored their country's steadfast commitment to the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and to the establishment of their independent state along the lines of 4th June 1967 and the end of the occupation of all Arab lands.
So that statement, basically what this means is that the Arab states are done trying to work with the USA and Israel because Israel is run by lunatics.
Have you noticed that Saudi Arabia has denied the United States the right to use its airspace to wage an attack on Iran?
And I'm not sure if Qatar has done the same thing.
I mean, it seems impossible because of all the U.S. military bases in Qatar.
But I know Saudi Arabia has done so, and I suspect the UAE has done so as well.
I'd have to check the list.
It's a fluid situation, though.
But basically, Huckabee just angered the Arab states like you can't believe.
Because Huckabee says that it's Israel's right to take your land and to overthrow your government and conquer your countries.
And so what all these Arab nations are realizing now, if they didn't already realize it, is that if Israel and the United States manage to topple Iran, then they are next.
So, you know, if Iran falls, then guess what?
Israel's going to go after Lebanon and then Turkey to the north.
They're going to turn south and they're going to conquer Egypt.
You know, they're going to turn to the east and they're going to try to conquer Saudi Arabia, etc.
On and on.
This is Israel's greater Israel plan.
It's a plan that Ambassador Huckabee just described.
They're not hiding it, is my point.
They're not hiding it.
And this has done so much damage to U.S.-Arab relations in the diplomatic realm that it's almost unthinkable.
And Jeffrey Prather did an article on this.
I'll read you a couple of quotes from Jeffrey Prather because they're very good.
But first, I want to read, let's see, there's another statement.
It's from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, etc., etc.
And it basically reaffirms the same statement that I just read.
In fact, I think it's, yeah, I think it's word for word the same thing.
So multiple countries have put this out.
Officially, the Foreign Ministry or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has put this out as an official statement.
So the upshot of this, again, is that Ambassador Huckabee is destroying U.S.-Arab relations.
And Jeffrey Prather, who I've interviewed many times, he said in an article on his substack, which is jeffreyprather.substack.com, quote, Trump should require Huckabee to apologize immediately to our Arab allies and retract his statement.
Then Trump should recall Huckabee as ambassador to Israel.
Yet none of that happened.
Trump's silence on the matter is deafening.
Trump, our first Jewish president, is Israel first, America second, which means that whatever Netanyahu wants, Trump does.
And Netanyahu wants the biblically promised greater Israel.
So he goes on and says that Trump's Iran war for Israel may just morph into the war for greater Israel.
And with nuclear superpowers, China and Russia siding and already conducting joint operations with Iran, Trump may just be sliding America into world war.
Now, something else very interesting that Jeffrey Prather points out, this is important to note about scripture.
There's a quote that like Senator Ted Cruz or Ambassador Huckabee, they repeat this quote all the time.
A lot of people do.
They say, quote, those that bless Israel will be blessed, and those that curse Israel will be cursed, and all the world will be blessed through them.
Except that doesn't exist in the Bible at all.
Yeah, it's another made-up fake quote.
As Jeffrey Prather says, it's a paraphrase of Genesis chapter 12, verse 3.
Except the word Israel doesn't even appear in that verse, nor even in the original Hebrew text.
Here's how that verse reads.
Quote, and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee, and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
So notice there was no Israel mentioned in there, not even in various translations of the Bible, of that chapter and verse.
So where did this quote come from?
It came from John Darby and the so-called dispensationalism, which is what has pushed, you know, through the Schofield Bible, pushed the Christians into Christian Zionism.
So it's all a giant fraud.
Bible Misquotes and Genocide00:11:18
It's all a giant brainwashing agenda.
And you've literally got brainwashed Christians repeating this quote as if it came from the Bible when it doesn't appear in the Bible at all and thinking that it's okay for this one country of lunatics or run by lunatics to carry out genocide and bombing of children and everything because God gave them permission to do so.
That's so antichrist in its fundamental philosophy that it's embarrassing that any Christian would fall for that.
Any person who believes that is following an anti-Christ belief system.
In other words, Satanism, not Christianity, clearly not Christianity.
The timing of all this is so extraordinary that it creates a chasm between the U.S. and the Arab nations right as the U.S. is about to strike Iran, reportedly, where the U.S. would need cooperation from many of these Arab states, especially Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, etc., Kuwait, you name it.
It's almost as if Tucker Carlson may have stopped World War III by simply asking one question, like persistently asking the question, demanding an answer from Huckabee.
And Huckabee gave him the answer.
And that answer has then spawned a rift between the Arab states and the United States, which may have made the difference in the decision-making of the U.S. military.
Now realizing that they don't have cooperation and therefore they don't have airspace and therefore they have to have more in-air refueling and that stretches out resources and timelines and everything else.
That may have actually made such a difference that the Pentagon is saying we can't really succeed in this strike.
That's the power of journalism for you right there.
That's the power of Tucker Carlson just doing his job, which is what very few journalists do in America any longer, and certainly not any corporate media people.
They would just read off their script and they would never press anybody on anything.
Well, certainly not someone who's part of the Israeli control grid, that's for sure.
So Tucker Carlson may have just stopped World War III.
We'll see.
Some people still believe that the U.S. is poised to strike Iran.
For example, Colonel Douglas McGregor appears to be convinced of that, and he's a very wise person with a lot of experience, and his assessment needs to be taken seriously.
But there are other people who think that the U.S. is going to back down, that it's all been a bluff, and especially with China and Russia there with all their assets and their radar and their surveillance and sharing of targeting data, etc., that the U.S. has made a calculation that it cannot succeed.
And therefore, the war is called off.
So let us hope that there is peace.
But in the long run, even more importantly, we need to insist that the very philosophy of Zionism is incompatible with life on earth.
It's incompatible with civilization.
That no group of people has the right to claim that their God gave them special permission to conquer and kill all their neighbors and take all their land.
What if everybody did that?
I mean, everybody can claim to have a religious text, and lots of different religions obviously do.
You know, the Bible isn't the only text that's claimed by people to be divinely inspired from whoever they call their creator.
So we can't have a world where every nation says, no, our God told us we can kill you.
That's not going to work, but that's the way Israel operates.
And sadly, they control Trump and his administration and most of the U.S. Congress and the Senate, etc.
And again, that is not compatible with civilization.
That's why it has to be stopped.
Netanyahu has to be stopped.
He needs to be arrested.
The Christian Zionism, that whole philosophy, needs to fade away into ancient history because it's all a lie.
None of it's accurate, and it's rooted in a really almost a Hitlerian type of third Reich philosophy that we're the master race and we get to kill everybody else.
It's amazing that Christians have fallen for it, you know, but some Christians believe whatever their twisted wall-kissing pastor tells them, you know, and they have lost any ability to think for themselves.
And a lot of those people are over the age of 65 or whatever it is, it turns out it's sort of the boomer Christian Zionists who are largely pushing that.
And, you know, I'm sorry if this offends anybody who's listening, if you are in that category, I would imagine, though, if you listen to this, you are a critical thinker.
You think for yourself.
And you haven't fallen for any of that nonsense because it's clearly nonsense.
We have to be critical thinkers.
Now, importantly, what I'm saying here is not opposition to Jews.
It's opposition to Zionism, which is a philosophy, a dark, dangerous philosophy of ethnic supremacism.
Now, in fact, I'm going to read a statement for you from the Torah Jews.
This is the Torah Jews, which is an anti-Zionist organization, the gatekeepers of the, what is it, the Satmar Rebbe's legacy, or Rebbe legacy.
Their channel on Acts is Torah Jews, just like it sounds.
And here's what they say about Ambassador Huckabee and his statements during the Tucker Carlson interview.
Quote, the phenomenon of political leaders erroneously citing biblical passages to support Israel, a political entity, is both bewildering and revealing to us American Jews.
It highlights how Zionist ideology has tragically seeped into mainstream perception while simultaneously demonstrating how far such rhetoric is from authentic Judaism.
Israel is a 20th century political entity, not a religious fulfillment of Torah promises.
Zionism, a movement rooted in 19th century European nationalism, is completely inconsistent with Torah teachings and does not represent the people of Israel described in the Torah.
Judaism does not equate contemporary political developments with divine prophecy, they say.
Blurring the line between a political movement and Judaism is an insult to Jewish faith and a mischaracterization of our loyalty to our country.
This group is, they are Americans.
They're speaking of America.
It misrepresents our sacred faith and it places Jews worldwide at risk, serving as a harbinger of rising anti-Semitism.
We pray for peace to be restored in the world, for harmony to reign and for prosperity for all.
And you can read that statement at TorahJews.org.
So that all makes perfect sense to me.
Makes perfect sense.
That Judaism, it's a faith.
It's not a country.
But, you know, Netanyahu likes to say that Israel is the political expression of all Jews.
That's a lie.
It's a complete lie.
That's why most Jews oppose what Israel is doing in terms of genocide.
Most Jews oppose Israel.
I mean, the actions of Israel under Netanyahu.
All over the world, Jews oppose what Israel is doing.
And you can't blame them because every rational person opposes what Netanyahu is doing, whether they're Jewish or any other religion or faith or even non-religious people.
So applause for the Torah Jews.
They have stated what needed to be said.
I appreciate them doing that.
The bottom line in all of this, we have two big issues.
We have, number one, Zionism itself is a supremacist philosophy that's incompatible with human civilization.
And secondly, Zionism has completely infiltrated and occupied the U.S. government.
Those are the two problems.
If we didn't have those two things, we wouldn't even be talking about war with Iran.
We wouldn't have genocide in Gaza.
We probably wouldn't have even invaded Venezuela.
So think about these issues and demand peace and demand that the Trump administration exorcise Netanyahu and his fellow demons from control over the White House.
And that means Susie Wiles has to go and a bunch of other Zionist neocon warmongers that are pressuring Trump to bomb Iran, like Mark Levin and others.
So pray for peace and pray for the end of any kind of ethnic supremacist philosophies, including Zionism.
And instead, support all people of all faiths, including Jews, including Christians, who are willing to live and let live.
Including Sikhs and Muslims and Buddhists, etc., and Hindus.
Live and let live.
I can have my faith.
You can have your faith.
And we can coexist.
We can live as neighbors together.
We don't have to try to kill each other because one group thinks that God told it to go kill all the other groups.
That's what Zionism is.
And that has to be completely dismantled for Earth to have a future, really, honestly, for human civilization to have a future.
So thank you for listening.
And by the way, if you want to research Zionism and some of these issues, we've got a lot of material that's reference material in our AI engine.
If you go to brightanswers.ai and you ask it a question about USS Liberty or about genocide in Gaza or about the Nakba, it's got all the data.
You can ask it questions.
Three Revolutionary Technologies00:03:01
You can generate research reports.
It's got a wealth of knowledge.
So check it out.
That's at brightanswers.ai.
And I think you'll find it to be very enlightening.
And you can catch all my videos at brightvideos.com.
I am a pro-human person who accepts all people of all religions because we are all children of God.
So thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right.
Wow.
What a packed day.
I've got more for you here, too.
I've got more special reports that I released over the weekend.
And I'm going to play them for you here.
And they're all very important.
Well, in my opinion, I guess you can decide.
But I've got one, which is an urgent glyphosate detox protocol report.
It's very informative.
I did a deep dive, plus all my knowledge of nutrition and detox and glyphosate, etc.
And I give you, by far, the very best ways to protect yourself from glyphosate exposure because it's impossible.
It's impossible to be 100% glyphosate free because glyphosate is sprayed everywhere all over our agriculture, farms, etc.
It's kind of insane.
But there are some simple things that you can do, and some of them cost almost nothing.
Well, some of them are free, actually, but others are very low cost.
So I'm going to play that report for you here next.
That's a little over half an hour.
Then I've got a report on a radical breakthrough in battery technology.
You know how I've been studying battery chemistry and looking at sodium ion, looking at sodium sulfur, looking at, what is it, the silver anode enhanced battery technology from Samsung.
Well, there's a company called Donut Lab that made big claims about a new battery technology, and everybody decided that they were just trying to pull a hoax or something.
But Donut Lab has responded, and apparently they're going to be releasing their documentation of independent government-run lab testing of their battery apparently as early as today.
So I've got a report on that that explains the ramifications of where all this goes, if that battery turns out to be actually true, because it would be a revolution, no question about it.
Then I've got another report.
It's going to be a longer episode today.
I've got another report called Three Revolutionary Technologies that will make you think you're living in the future.
Now, that battery I just mentioned is one of them.
But there are two other technologies that are available also, apparently, this week that are life-changing.
Just civilizational changing technologies.
Three Revolutionary Technologies00:03:06
They're pretty amazing, actually.
So that report covers all three of those technologies.
Now, I've already played interviews earlier, so I don't have another interview here today.
But tomorrow, I'm going to continue with the second part of my interview with Maria Z.
And I also have an interview with Alec Zek that I'm going to try to play that this week.
Other things keep interrupting, you know.
So I want to thank you for all your support and remind you that in this age of glyphosate, the number one best way to avoid glyphosate and avoid all the toxic exposure is to buy foods and supplements and personal care products that have been tested for glyphosate like we do in our laboratory.
And I gave you a full lab tour video recently, showed you all of our mass spec instruments that we use for testing, showed you our sample prep room and all of it.
It's kind of cool.
Got a lot of great feedback on that.
Well, HealthRangerStore.com is where you can buy glyphosate tested products.
And we've added a new checkbox on the left side of the site when you're shopping there.
You can check it and it says glyphosate tested.
And then when you check that box, only the glyphosate tested products will appear in the car.
It's kind of like a filter.
So you can choose glyphosate tested and then you can shop among those.
And you will be very happy that you did, by the way, because, again, we do more heavy scrutinizing of our products and our raw materials than anybody else in the industry.
Period.
Nobody does our level of testing because it's just, it's a lot of effort and cost and big expense to do it.
But anyway, we get you the cleanest food in the world.
And it's also nutritional supplements.
It's essential oils.
We've got personal care products, toothpaste, deodorant, body soap, laundry detergent with no synthetic fragrances at all.
We don't use any chemical fragrance in any of our products.
We only use natural, like essential oils, things like that.
That's it.
So check it out again, HealthRangerStore.com.
And this week, running on brightu.com, BrightU, that's the letter U, BrightU.com, is Make Yourself Healthy Again.
That docu series continues today.
It started on Saturday, so you've missed two episodes of it, but you can start today and catch episodes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc.
It's free.
You can register, watch it for free at brightu.com, or you can optionally purchase the entire thing, download it.
It's not even very expensive.
You download the whole course and you can watch it at your leisure on any device you want.
So check that out.
And thank you for your support.
Okay, so enjoy the rest of the show.
Cruciferous Vegetables Matter00:14:45
A lot of great information and great reports here.
And I'll be back with you tomorrow.
And join me in praying for peace.
Peace in Mexico, peace in the Middle East, peace in America.
Let's pray for peace, okay?
Thank you and enjoy the show.
All right, you already know that glyphosate is extremely toxic.
It's been linked to cancer.
Glyphosate kills people.
It was developed based on originally Nazi chemistry research in the 1930s, researching the organophosphate, nerve agents, saring gas, VX, etc.
It was that entire field of research that ultimately led to glyphosate, which has a phosphorus element in the compound.
They're called organophosphonates.
That's to distinguish it from the organophosphates.
But essentially, glyphosate is a nerve agent for plants.
And that's why it causes so much cancer and other health problems.
Now, this special report here is about how to detox from glyphosate because there are very specific things that you can do because, well, we'll talk about sulfur-based compounds and how that helps your body naturally eliminate glyphosate.
Very quickly, though, I just want to go over some of the things that glyphosate causes according to the research.
Neurological disorders, autoimmune diseases, various cancers, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
It causes the chelation or the loss of essential minerals like zinc and magnesium and iron.
It destroys beneficial gut bacteria and it leads to leaky gut syndrome and can cause systemic inflammation.
And it mimics glycine, which is a critical amino acid.
And in doing that, it can disrupt protein synthesis.
It can disrupt metabolic function and so on.
So glyphosate is extremely toxic to human biology.
It's toxic to soils.
And of course, it's deadly to plants.
And again, it comes out of Nazi chemical weapons research into nerve agents.
Now, you need to know that glyphosate is very frequently found in wheat products.
That's breads and crackers, anything made from wheat, noodles, especially if it's non-organic, because so much of the wheat is sprayed with glyphosate now just to dry the wheat in the field.
It's used as a desiccant, which seems insane, but that's how it goes.
Glyphosate is also sprayed on cotton crops.
Most cotton that's grown is GMO cotton, and that means there's glyphosate in your cotton balls and cotton swabs and all kinds of personal care and hygiene products made from cotton, including it can be in clothing as well, but you're not necessarily hopefully not eating your clothing.
Nevertheless, they can have glyphosate contamination, and they very often do.
In addition, there's a lot of glyphosate in corn, obviously, in beetroot crops, as well as alfalfa and some other crops as well.
And of course, the industry is working on wheat to try to push GMO wheat into mass production, which would saturate the wheat supply with even more glyphosate.
The state of Florida recently published glyphosate findings in off-the-shelf bread products, finding glyphosate levels of 191 parts per billion in some bread products and lower in other breads.
And of course, we've done glyphosate testing in the past on numerous products, and we, in our own lab, we routinely test for glyphosate, especially on all the different products that are potentially known to have it.
But if you go to our website, healthrangerstore.com, we now have a new checkbox on the left where you can check it to show all the products that have been glyphosate tested in our laboratory, where we use triple quad mass spec instrumentation for glyphosate detection and quantitation.
And I showed you my lab tour video recently, and I can show it to you again, but I gave you a tour of our MassSpec lab that shows you how we test for glyphosate.
Hint, it's not easy, and it's not inexpensive either.
All right, so you know glyphosate is dangerous.
You know it's in so many foods that all of us eat.
It's very difficult to avoid glyphosate entirely.
If you eat organic, that can help, but there have been glyphosate levels found in some organic products, usually not very high.
But it is possible to have glyphosate in organics.
Your best bet is to have glyphosate tested foods and supplements wherever possible.
But since that's not possible all the time, for example, you're going out to eat at a restaurant, oh, you're going to get a lot of glyphosate probably.
Or you're eating at a friend's house or a family member's house or whatever.
Or you're in a hurry and you bought some fast food.
You know, you drove through McDonald's or something.
Whatever kind of fast food you're consuming, unless it's organic, which it mostly isn't, it probably contains some level of glyphosate.
So you need to know about how to naturally detox glyphosate.
The good news is that your body does have a mechanism to eliminate glyphosate over time.
It is eliminated naturally through urine and through bowel movements and through sweat also.
It can be.
The downside is that glyphosate, it's a very small molecule.
It moves easily through tissues.
It moves through blood.
It passes through the blood-brain barrier very easily.
It gets into heart tissue, etc.
So just by eating glyphosate in the foods, it goes right through the intestinal wall into the blood supply and then starts to get into the organs where it can cause havoc.
And that's why it's associated with cancers and autoimmune disorders and so on.
So there are some key ways, really about four ways to detox from glyphosate.
And those four ways I'm going to cover here, they are, number one, supporting your liver, which that itself doesn't eliminate glyphosate, but since your liver is involved in natural glyphosate detoxification, it's critical to support your liver.
So we'll talk about that briefly.
Secondly, you need to restore your gut microbiome, which is probably being wrecked by glyphosate.
We'll talk about that briefly.
Thirdly, you need to replenish minerals.
that glyphosate can chelate and rip out of your body.
We'll talk about what those minerals are and some natural sources for how to replenish those minerals.
And then the fourth one, which I think is the most powerful one, is the replenishing of your sulfation pathways.
So sulfate is a really critical molecule in your body that's involved in all kinds of metabolic processes.
And glyphosate depletes sulfate.
And let me give you an example of this.
So sulfate is absolutely critical for detoxification pathways in the body.
There's a process that's called sulfoconjugation or phase two detoxification.
And this involves the use of sulfotransferase enzymes, also known as S-U-L-T-S or SALTs.
And this allows the sulfate groups in your body to attach to things that your body is trying to get rid of.
That can include xenobiotics, that can include estrogens, acetaminophen, you know, painkillers, environmental toxins, pharmaceuticals, drugs, hormones, various neurotransmitters, and so on.
So to get these out of your body, you have to have this process called sulfoconjugation, which requires sulfate.
And remember, glyphosate is ripping sulfate out of your body.
In addition, sulfate groups are really important for building up your tissues, your connective tissue, skin, skin barriers, cartilage, etc.
There's a process called glycosaminoglycan, G-A-G, glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
That's a cool term.
This is the synthesis process that covers all those things I just mentioned, tissue development, even it's involved in cell signaling, growth factor binding, and things like that.
There are many other things that sulfate does in the body.
This isn't a biology lesson, so I'm not going to go through any more, but I just want you to understand how critical that is.
So we'll circle back around to that.
Or, well, let's actually start with sulfur-rich foods.
How about that?
Sulfur-rich foods give your body the sulfate groups that you need for sulfation and also for liver detox.
So sulfur-rich foods reactivate all these sulfation pathways.
And the good news is that sulfur is a natural constituent of cruciferous vegetables.
So for example, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower.
And you've heard me talk about sulforaphane over and over and over again, right?
You've heard me say that I put broccoli sprout powder into my smoothie every day.
It's one of the reasons why my smoothie is green.
You probably heard me talk about that.
And sulforaphane, which is neuroprotective as well.
It supports many important protective mechanisms in the body.
Well, if you are short on sulfate, then you need cruciferous vegetables.
So if you don't have this, there are two things that you can do.
If you're not getting enough cruciferous vegetables in your diet, two things.
First, you can literally just buy it from us because we have lab-tested certified organic broccoli sprouts, of course, also tested for heavy metals, etc.
We've put together a special glyphosate detox page at healthrangerstore.com slash glyphosate, which is spelled G-L-Y-P-H-O-S-A-T-E.
So go check that out, healthrangerstore.com slash glyphosate.
That'll take you right there.
And you'll see all the different products that we have that can help support your body's natural glyphosate detoxification pathways.
Now, that's if you don't want to grow broccoli sprouts yourself.
But if you don't mind growing them yourself, you can get some mason jars and get some cheesecloth and some rubber bands and put the cheesecloth on top and then go out and buy some broccoli seeds for sprouting.
And then, you know, put some seeds in the bottom, not even very much, like a teaspoon, and then rinse it with water three times a day, give or take.
And then within a few days, you have broccoli sprouts.
You can eat those.
And yes, they are potent, pungent.
But guess what?
They contain sulforaphane and other forms of sulfur.
And so that's a great source.
You should have a little bit of that every day.
It's very healthy to do that.
There are other sources of sulfate that we'll probably get into here.
For example, MSM as a nutritional supplement.
You've heard of MSM methyl sulfonyl methane is what that stands for.
Yeah, I don't even use that word very much.
MSM is a dietary supplement that provides very good, good levels of sulfur that your body can use for sulfation.
So MSM is a great supplement for that very reason, as well as the cruciferous vegetables that I just mentioned.
It's also important, eat onions and garlic.
Onions contain quercetin.
This also enhances phase two liver detox.
And then if you can, eat pasture-raised eggs.
You know, I have chickens and I have fresh farm eggs all the time.
And these eggs are very rich in cysteine and methionine, which of course are precursors to glutathione that's necessary to support natural detoxification.
All right, so I'll talk about a few other different foods and things that are important along the way, but let's pivot to restoring your gut flora with probiotic foods.
So obviously fermented foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, etc.
These can help replenish normal, healthy gut microbiome.
You can also take as supplements, you know, you can take probiotics.
There's lots of different probiotics available in the marketplace.
All of them work to some degree, you know.
You can also take prebiotic fibers like chicory root, etc., or inulin, which feed the bacteria in your gut and helps improve the populations of the friendly bacteria in your gut.
I would also add to that, avoid seed oils.
Avoid a lot of toxic foods that harm friendly bacteria.
And of course, avoid antibiotics if you are able to do so.
I'm talking about prescription antibiotics because they can wipe out your friendly gut bacteria.
And then that can cause increased permeability of your gut barrier that can allow glyphosate to move much more easily through your gut into your bloodstream, i.e. leaky gut situation.
Not good.
Now, we also know that glyphosate binds to certain minerals.
it's a chelation agent that's one of the ways that it works against plants as kind of a i mean yeah it's a it inhibits key enzyme function in plants It's kind of a nerve agent for plants, okay?
But it also is a chelator, so it pulls out of your body zinc, magnesium, and selenium.
Now, selenium is a trace mineral.
Avoiding Glyphosate00:16:24
Zinc is a trace mineral.
Magnesium is a macro mineral.
So it's unlikely that glyphosate would pull out so much magnesium that it would leave you magnesium deficient unless you're already magnesium deficient, which actually most people are.
But magnesium is critical for hundreds of different enzymatic reactions in the body, including pathways for detoxification.
So if you're not getting enough magnesium, that is very easy to augment with supplementation.
And there are different forms of magnesium.
Just avoid the cheap inorganic forms.
Get something better than the cheap magnesium.
You don't want like magnesium oxide or some garbage like that.
So get higher end magnesium, but more importantly, eat a lot of leafy greens.
And nuts.
I mean, magnesium is very common in everyday foods, vegetables specifically.
Every plant needs magnesium and calcium in order to grow.
Magnesium, it's a critical part of the plant's physiology.
Now, zinc and selenium are easier to lose because you don't have a lot of them.
And so glyphosate can really strip zinc out of your body, which can leave you immune deficient.
So zinc is absolutely critical.
You probably learned some of this during the COVID years, that you have to have zinc plus, you know, you need zinc plus quercetin, which creates what are called zinc ionophores.
That effectively shoves zinc through your cell membranes into your cells, where zinc is needed, because zinc also, of course, inhibits so-called retrovirus production if you believe in retroviruses, what have you?
But zinc is necessary for immune function overall and and for supporting detox pathways.
So a lot of people are zinc deficient and if you're exposed to a lot of glyphosate in your food, that can just strip zinc out of your body.
Leave you at, you know, approaching zero levels of zinc.
Selenium is also a similar story here.
So selenium protects against oxidative stress.
It has, you know, anti-cancer properties, it supports normal thyroid function, etc.
If you lack selenium, I mean, you can also have blood sugar imbalances, metabolic disorder, things like that.
Selenium is, of course, very present in brazil nuts, but it's also available as dietary supplement.
So those are just some of the minerals that you may need to replenish in order to, you know, recover from glyphosate exposure.
Now there are some other things that are known To naturally bind to glyphosate because, remember, glyphosate is a chelation agent, so it does like to bind to certain things at a molecular level.
One of those is activated charcoal, of course, which has a very powerful adsorption property that binds with lots of things, including heavy metals.
So you can eat activated charcoal, or you can take it as a dietary supplement from time to time.
I'm not saying to chow down on it with every meal, but this can really help detoxify your gut.
It can prevent reabsorption of lots of different toxins, not just glyphosate.
In addition, it's well known that chlorella and spirulina, both of which are microalgae that are very rich in chlorophyll, that they chelate glyphosate and also can work with some effectiveness with heavy metals.
So chlorophyll is a big factor in all of this.
There are other sources of chlorophyll like wheatgrass juice, for example.
Chlorella and spirulita are well known in this space.
Spirulina, however, is very high in iron.
And so my recommendation typically is that men may want to choose chlorella instead of spirulina because men can actually have too much iron if you're supplementing it on a regular basis.
Whereas women, especially those who are still menstruating, you're losing blood, you need to reinvigorate with iron on a regular basis, women do very, very well with spirulina for that very reason.
But both of them are rich in chlorophyll, and that can help chelate glyphosate and carry it out of your body.
In addition, you can also supplement in glycine.
Because glycine, I mean, glyphosate mimics in many ways the pathways, the molecular pathways of glycine.
So if you supplement with glycine, you're basically sort of preloading your body's glycine stores, which can help displace glyphosate that you may consume or be exposed to even topically.
So those are some supplement strategies for you there.
Again, if you want to see what we have available at our store, go to healthrangerstore.com/slash glyphosate and you'll see the supplements we have that can help your body's natural detoxification process to eliminate glyphosate, which doesn't belong in your body, doesn't belong.
In addition, liver detoxifiers, these are probably well known by most of you listening.
Of course, dandelion root, of course, milk thistle.
These boost glutathione production, protect liver cells, etc.
Turmeric can also help support phase two detoxification.
For kidney support, which can help you eliminate toxins in liquid form, make sure you have non-GMO or organic beetroot juice, which enhances nitric oxide.
You can make corn silk tea for kidney and bladder support.
You can use nettle leaf tea, which is a natural diuretic, so it helps you urinate out toxins.
Make sure you drink plenty of clean water, filtered water or rain water, etc.
And then in terms of sulfur-based detoxification supplements, there are two.
MSM, like I mentioned before, which provides the actual sulfur that your body can use that gives you the sulfate that you need.
And then there's alpha-lipoic acid or ALA, which helps your body regenerate glutathione and also helps chelate heavy metals out of your system.
So that information right there will give you a lot, a lot of wealth about how to detox from glyphosate because none of us are at zero exposure.
None of us, not even myself.
We have some level of exposure.
But if you are doing all these other things like I'm doing on a daily basis, you know, I'm taking MSM, I'm drinking broccoli sprouts, and I'm eating cabbage, you know, I'm doing all these things on a daily basis.
Then you can handle some smaller level of exposure.
Where glyphosate is really toxic and deadly and kills people or can kill people is when the typical consumer is living on processed junk foods.
They are deficient in critical minerals.
They lack zinc.
They lack selenium.
They don't eat vegetables at all.
They're living on processed junk food.
And then they get hit with a high dose of glyphosate.
Their body can't deal with it.
And at that point, the glyphosate just goes through and starts destroying their system through numerous pathways or interfering with normal pathways, causing an overloading of toxins in the body that would otherwise have been removed if not for the glyphosate interfering with that removal, you see.
So it's critical to upgrade your diet here if you want to get rid of the glyphosate that is present in the food supply.
So obviously choose organic wherever you can.
Obviously choose lab-tested supplements like what we offer at healthrangerstore.com.
Obviously filter your water.
I don't think anybody's still drinking tap water.
I hope that would be crazy.
Avoid processed foods.
Specifically, you must avoid non-organic wheat, soy, and corn.
Those three, you have to eliminate those from your diet or do the best you can to get that done.
Because it's guaranteed that wheat, soy, and corn will have glyphosate if it's not organic.
Now, the organic crops, those farmers are not allowed to spray glyphosate on those crops.
However, glyphosate can still get there carried by the wind from neighboring crops.
And unfortunately, the USDA does not require glyphosate testing for any organic products.
It's not required at all.
So, I mean, that's why we do so much testing because we actually want to know how much glyphosate is in various raw materials so we can reject them.
Which we do all the time, by the way.
We reject, you know, oats and there's also legumes, things like that.
So you got to watch out for glyphosate.
It can be in various beans.
It's actually very common in some types of beans and legumes.
It's common in oats.
It's common in wheat, soy, and corn.
Very common.
Shockingly so.
Also, remember that sweating is healthy.
Sweating helps your body eliminate glyphosate.
That's shown.
We know that that's the case.
So, you know, I'm out jogging outside and, you know, I'm shirtless running around in the forest in the sun sweating.
Yes, I'm sweating on purpose.
I'm drenched with sweat in the hotter months in Texas.
I mean, I'm like over sweating.
I actually have to replenish salt levels because I sweat so much in the hot months.
But sweating is good.
So you can go to saunas or you can exercise or you can, you know, whatever.
Whatever is a normal, healthy way to sweat that can eliminate toxins and glyphosate.
So that right there, those are the best tactics.
And if you were to summarize this and break it all down, it's number one, avoid exposure to glyphosate as much as you can.
So choose organic, choose lab-tested, you know, upgrade your diet, eat healthier foods, and then in addition, then enhance your detoxification.
And that's through all the techniques I mentioned here, the different sulfate supplements, the different sulfate foods, the sulforaphane that's in broccoli sprouts, et cetera, and some of the other things I mentioned along the way.
And then replenish zinc and selenium, any kind of trace minerals that you may have lost, etc.
So that's it.
That's the strategy.
Well, and drink plenty of healthy, clean water, obviously, which means you need to have a really good water filter that removes glyphosate from the water supply.
And, you know, we've done tests on that.
And the high-end filters that cost hundreds of dollars, mostly they remove almost 100% of glyphosate.
The cheap filters, the little pitcher filters that are 30 bucks at a local store, those don't remove hardly any glyphosate, by the way.
The glyphosate goes right through, as do some other things.
So be very careful about that.
All right, now some final thoughts are that since Trump has granted federal protection for glyphosate, he's declared it a critical resource for national defense.
And the Orwellian argument now from the Trump administration is that glyphosate equals healthy food.
That's what his executive order literally claimed.
And we're now hearing from all the typical glyphosate propagandists, the same kind of nefarious bad faith actors who were pushing Monsanto junk science for the last couple of decades.
These people are claiming that, oh, without glyphosate, people would starve.
That glyphosate is necessary for food production.
And so they say that glyphosate, that without glyphosate, poor people would starve.
That's not true at all because there are, I mean, all throughout history, glyphosate wasn't even introduced to the marketplace until, what, 1974 or so.
And you can bet people were eating before 1974.
And there are people all over the world, even indigenous people, etc., that eat without having their food saturated with glyphosate.
Okay, so the claim that we have to have glyphosate to feed people is a total lie.
It's just a blatant junk science fabrication, obviously.
But that's the narrative that we're being subjected to now.
And the Trump administration has gone all in to the point where Trump is now being called the glyphosate president.
He wants glyphosate to be federally protected.
I mean, he declared that.
And he's got no problem with food crops being sprayed with glyphosate like crazy.
And sadly, RFK Jr. came out and supported Trump's decision.
So now we have RFK Jr., who for the last 20 years was criticizing glyphosate and saying it caused cancer and caused health problems.
And now he's siding with Trump, protecting glyphosate and giving glyphosate producers some level of legal immunity.
Kind of like the vaccine industry, but not exactly the same thing.
Meanwhile, Bayer, which purchased Monsanto a few years ago for, what was it, $65 billion or so, Bayer has already spent $11 billion settling glyphosate lawsuits from like tens of thousands of plaintiffs who showed that glyphosate caused cancer.
But that's not even the end of it.
There are still something like 60,000 lawsuits pending against Bayer.
And Bayer is now proposing a joint seven, I think it's a $7.5 billion settlement to clear those cases and to try to clear all cases for the next 20 years.
So in other words, they want some kind of immunity.
They want to buy their way out of the glyphosate lawsuits with another $7.5 billion.
That's incredible, huh?
That's really something.
So even the courts, I mean, effectively, even Bayer, which bought Monsanto, even Bayer has effectively, you know, indirectly admitted, although they wouldn't officially admit it, but by settling these claims, they're paying people who claim that their product caused cancer and other problems.
So if there were no evidence of that, do you think Bayer would settle?
No, not at all.
The evidence is overwhelming.
Glyphosate causes cancer.
Glyphosate causes hormone disruption.
Glyphosate causes depletion of minerals, etc.
This is well known, well established, even through the court system through tens of thousands of lawsuits that have been settled in favor of the plaintiffs.
So there's no question that glyphosate is toxic.
The only question is, how much are you eating?
And what are you doing to help protect yourself from glyphosate?
So review this information, and if you want to—oh, I'm going to post an infographic about this.
I'll do a story on this at naturalnews.com and I'll post an infographic that summarizes all of this.
And you can, you know, feel free to download that and you can share it with others, etc.
Bayer's Monsanto Legacy00:04:39
And you can hear more of my information about this at brightvideos.com because I'm about to do a special report about the history of Monsanto and all of the junk science, the nefarious activities, the black ops, negative PR, paying Google to smear glyphosate critics, the impersonation in the court system, ghostwriting papers,
total science fraud carried out for decades by Monsanto.
You need to know the history of that.
Now, interestingly, Bayer shut down a lot of that when Bayer acquired Monsanto.
So Bayer doesn't operate with the same level of nefarious intent that Monsanto did.
Monsanto's off the charts, insane, pure evil.
But Bayer is an offshoot of IG Farben.
IG Farben was the Nazi science company that was found guilty of crimes against humanity and was thereby broken up into three different companies.
And Bayer is one of those three.
That became the Bayer of today, which then acquired Monsanto and is selling glyphosate, you know.
So, but at least to Bayer's credit, they're not engaged in the same level of evil, nefarious activities that Monsanto was running 24-7.
So we got to give Bayer a little bit of credit.
And Bayer is offering a settlement to victims of glyphosate, a pretty big settlement, $7.5 billion.
So at least Bayer is engaged in the legal process here.
Although, oh, and I should mention that Bayer inherited most of the liability when they bought Monsanto.
So a lot of this liability wasn't actually originating from Bayer itself.
It was from the company that Bayer bought.
So Bayer is trying to settle that, but of course, they don't want to ban glyphosate.
They still want to sell it.
And they're going to continue to do so.
And they're probably going to face additional lawsuits because of that.
The good news is that you have a choice.
You don't have to buy glyphosate.
You don't have to use it like a spray or on your yard or your farm.
You can just say no from an agricultural point of view.
And then when it comes to food, you can choose organic or you can choose glyphosate tested products, foods, supplements, superfoods, all the things that we sell.
HealthRangerStore.com slash glyphosate gives you all the glyphosate detox products, like I mentioned earlier.
So you do have a choice here.
And that's the good news.
You still have a choice.
None of us are going to be 100% glyphosate free, but we can really minimize glyphosate exposure through the methods that I mentioned here.
And that's actually a really positive outcome here.
So if other people want to eat a bunch of glyphosate and commit, you know, weed killer suicide, I guess that's on them.
I would hope they don't do that, but some people really want to be pro-glyphosate, so I guess that's what they're going to do.
Just going to eat themselves to death.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time that happened, would it?
So thank you for listening.
I'm Mike Adams here, the Health Ranger, and you can catch all of my interviews and podcasts and reports at brightvideos.com and my articles at naturalnews.com.
Oh, one more thing.
If you want to do research on glyphosate, use our deep research AI engine.
It's free.
It's at brightanswers.ai.
Brightanswers.ai.
You can ask it anything about glyphosate because it's already indexed a quarter of a million science papers and over 100,000 published books.
And it searches through them all in order to generate your answer.
And then it references, you know, full citations and references of the papers and the authors, etc., that go into your answer.
Finally, there are also books at our book creation website called brightlearn.ai.
There are books on reversing glyphosate toxicity.
One of those books is called glyphosate reversal.
And you can download that book free of charge.
Just go to books.brightlearn.ai and search on the word glyphosate.
And you'll see all those books and you can download them completely free.
Because we're all about sharing information that helps empower people.
All right.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
Donut Lab's Revolutionary Battery00:03:11
So the world is about to change if this one technology proves to be legit.
And the creator of this technology has just thrown down the gauntlet and claimed that he's going to bring receipts next week.
And those receipts are going to prove that his company's new revolutionary technology is real.
What company am I talking about?
What technology?
I'm talking about Donut Lab.
And this is a, well, a Finnish slash Estonian company, I believe, that announced right at the tail end of the CES show last month that they had a new revolutionary solid state battery with specifications that were almost completely unbelievable by anybody in the battery industry.
Not only was it a solid state, but the energy density that was achieved according to the claims was extraordinary, 400 watt hours per kilogram, which is more than twice what's typical today in lithium-iron phosphate batteries.
On top of this, the really extraordinary thing is that the creator of this battery, again, Donut Lab, it's spelled just like it sounds, D-O-N-U-T, Donut Lab, a man named Marco.
His last name is difficult for me to pronounce.
But his company is also, they're the innovators behind the remarkable electric motor on Verge motorcycles, which also a lot of skeptics said wasn't possible, but turned out to be completely true and completely revolutionary.
But Marco says that his battery is designed to withstand 100,000 charge cycles.
Well, charge discharge cycles.
So 100,000 cycles, that means it would last more than a human lifetime in terms of, you know, daily use.
100,000 cycles.
I mean, if you do the math on that, if you charge your electric car once per day, then these batteries would last 274 years.
On top of that, he claims that his company's batteries can be manufactured at scale and that they charge so rapidly that you can charge them to about 95% of their capacity in about five minutes.
So that's a charge rate of something like 12 C, which is 12 times the capacity in one hour, essentially.
And what that means is that this battery technology, at least as it is claimed, it's a quantum leap above every other battery that's ever been created in all of history.
And it blows away all the labs and Samsung and Toyota and literally everybody else.
Now, then on top of that, I forgot to mention, he claimed that it does not use lithium at all.
Quantum Leap Battery Tech00:16:03
Says it's made from commonly available materials that are not from difficult places.
He didn't say exactly which elements that would entail.
Does it use cobalt?
Does it use nickel?
Does it use copper?
What is it?
Is it sodium?
Is it aluminum?
I mean, what's it made of?
It has to obey the laws of physics, we all agree.
So how does this work?
Well, this was announced, again, right after the CES show in January, and I covered it for a couple of days.
And I'm one of the few people who said, maybe this is real, even though virtually everybody, all the experts said it's a complete hoax.
They said that Marco and Donut Lab are making it up, that it can't be real.
And I even related, I had a visiting scientist at my MassSpec lab who actually worked on Samsung's batteries, and I asked him about this, and he told me, I related this to you, he told me that it's not possible for these specs to be achieved without using lithium.
So he's another expert who told me that the Donut Lab batteries are simply not possible.
So that was the consensus among a lot of people.
But then again, I was one of the few who held out the possibility that, look, you know, revolutions of understanding have happened in the past.
And specifically, the Wright brothers, every expert said it's not possible to have a heavier-than-air craft that could fly.
Everybody said that.
All the scientists, all the physicists, all the brightest minds in the world said you can't fly, obviously, because any craft would be heavier than air and it would therefore fall to the ground.
And that was considered common sense.
It was considered obvious.
And anybody who said, no, we can build a machine and make it fly, those people were considered lunatics.
But then that became history with the Wright brothers.
And the reason I'm using the Wright brothers here is intentional, because if this new battery from Donut Lab, if it turns out to be true and we're supposed to get test results from independent third-party testing literally next week, I think Monday, if this turns out to be true, then this is a Wright Brothers moment for history.
It's that big of a deal.
And then this man, Marco, whose last name I can't even pronounce, will go down in history alongside the Wright brothers.
Now that's a big claim, obviously.
But he explains that he's allowed his battery to be tested by the VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, which is a government-owned and operated independent testing center that has no commercial interests.
That they are conducting independent measurements of the battery's performance and the key characteristics such as energy density, discharge rates, and charge rates, probably thermal tracking to find out how hot the battery gets when you charge it that rapidly, etc.
And that these test results are about to be released within just days.
And there's a website where Marco and his company, they've launched this website where they're going to release these results.
And the website is called IdonutBelieve.com.
Kind of a play on words like I do not believe, except it's IdonutBelieve.com.
So you can go there.
I encourage you to do that.
Because the Donut Lab company has been accused by almost everyone of being involved in a massive con, a hoax.
Something reminiscent of perhaps some of the more radical free energy hoaxers.
The Donut Lab company has been accused of doing this in order to raise money, just to attract investment money.
And everyone has assumed it's a scam.
And I thought possibly, but I held out the possibility that this was real.
Now, I'm even more convinced that we should take this seriously.
And so what I want to do in this podcast is I want to explain the ramifications.
If this battery tech turns out to be real, this will have enormous implications for economics.
I mean, positive implications.
But it will utterly destroy the combustion engine, or almost entirely destroy it, for vehicles.
So if this battery is real, then everything goes EV.
Only electric vehicles at this point.
In fact, if this battery is real, then you're going to start to have electric farm equipment, construction equipment, long-distance trucking, all with electric motors.
And so diesel engines and diesel consumption will just plummet.
That's if this is real.
But I want you to see a couple of minutes of this man in his own words.
Again, his name is Marco Letimaki.
Letimaki, I'm not sure how you pronounce that.
But I want you to hear him explain this in his own words because he's put out a short video on this.
So let's give that a listen.
Hi, Marco here, CEO and co-founder of Donut Lab.
Today we are announcing a new video series that will share third-party validation of our incredible new battery.
In January this year, we announced Donut Battery, an all-solid state battery pack available to OEMs today.
Not only is it the world's first solid-state battery in production vehicles, but it also combines all the best potential features of a solid-state battery pack into one at the price that competes with lithium-ion.
Now, this is something that obviously disrupts the entire industry, and the reaction has been intense and honestly not unexpected.
The internet lit up, media coverage turned into speculation, YouTube filled with opinions, and the comment sections full of certainty that this technology cannot be real.
So we made a deliberate decision.
We wanted the industry, especially the loudest voices, to go on record first.
We wanted them to publish their certainty and to broadcast to everyone what they really think, which is this technology simply cannot exist today.
Because first of all, then everyone, even outside the industry, truly understands how mind-blowingly big breakthrough it is what we are bringing to the market and what it can mean to the entire industry and even to our planet.
But also, when we do show the evidence, you can already recognize the pattern that I described.
You can see how quickly certainty becomes narrative.
And hopefully, everybody's less likely to be pulled along when the story tries to move again.
Mainly driven by people with direct or indirect interest in the issue.
Now that's what this series is all about.
We published the claims, now we are publishing the evidence.
We are doing it with a respected state-owned research and science center, a third party whose job is to measure, verify, and report.
No opinions or marketing, just facts.
And I want you to remember this moment and the headlines.
Remember the certainty and the quotes from the experts.
Because I can guarantee that when we demonstrate that the battery is actually real, many of those who said this cannot exist will not simply admit they were wrong.
Okay, those were some of the clips of Marco there.
And if you want to see the rest of the video, you can see that at his website, idonutbelieve.com.
Now, I stated previously, weeks ago, that I saw no reason why someone would destroy their reputation by pushing out some big hoax.
There was no incentive to do so, especially since Marco is involved in another company, a motorcycle company named Verge, that definitely has successfully created revolutionary technology for electric motorcycles.
A revolutionary motor that many people thought was completely impossible.
So if he were to be busted in this, if this battery is a hoax, if he were to be caught in this hoax, it would ruin his reputation for the other company, the motorcycle company.
That would be economic suicide.
And this man doesn't, he doesn't seem like a low IQ, you know, fast-talking huckster.
He seems like a very deliberate person who potentially has, through his colleagues and their investments in nanotechnology companies, that's part of this story, they have created something that is so revolutionary that takes such a leap forward in energy storage technology that it is simply unimaginable by the status quo of battery storage science today.
And I'm willing to give Marco the benefit of the doubt to wait and let's see the data.
Let's see it.
Why not?
What do we have to lose?
Let's have an open mind and see if this VTT technical research center of Finland, if it puts out numbers that are consistent with his claims.
If so, then the world changes.
Everything changes.
And again, that's what I want to talk about in this special report.
So, by the way, thank you for joining me.
I'm Mike Adams.
I'm an AI developer.
I'm a technology platform innovator myself.
I'm an inventor.
I own a MassSpec laboratory.
You know, I'm a polymath.
I own patents.
I've done a lot of interesting things in science and food and laboratory science and table of elements, mass spectrometry.
I've developed methods for the quantitation of glyphosate and CBDs, cannabinoids extracted from hemp, etc.
I've published papers.
I am a published scientist.
And so I'm very familiar with the process of checking out these claims, although I'm not a chemist, just to be clear, and I'm not an expert in battery technology, but I understand the fundamental principles of how batteries work and why his claims seem so outrageous.
I also know that the table of elements is essentially immutable, although through processes of fission and fusion, of course, you can move things around.
You can split atoms.
You can transmute through those processes.
There's also radioactive decay, etc.
But by and large, you can't just take the table of elements and wipe it away and then just make up your own new laws of physics, okay?
That's for sure.
So we must assume that whatever Marco here is talking about, it has to be consistent with the laws of physics.
So let's agree on that point.
Has to be consistent.
We must also agree, I hope you'll agree with this, that science progresses through leaps and bounds.
It's not always linear.
There are breakthroughs, obviously.
For example, the breakthrough of the transistor from Bell Labs in 1957, which unleashed the entire era of what we now know as computing and computer science and telecommunications and all that.
And then other breakthroughs, such as the transformer for AI.
That's another breakthrough, a relatively recent one, that has unleashed the era of machine cognition.
And we have machine cognition functioning today in 2026 at levels that scientists just two years ago thought was impossible or thought would take 10 to 20 years.
So we have to operate from a fundamental understanding that very often our human brains are incapable of anticipating these leaps in scientific advancement and revolutionary breakthroughs.
Now, none of that means that the Donut Lab battery, it doesn't prove that that battery is what Marco says it is, but we must be open to the idea that sometimes innovation and breakthroughs can surprise us.
In fact, very often that's the case throughout history.
Now, let's step back and understand that our modern economies run on energy.
And until relatively recently, that energy has largely been for over a century.
That energy has been fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, for the most part.
Coal, also in power plants, but a lot of it's just oil and gas.
Now, oil and gas are pretty amazing in the sense that they have very high energy density.
There's a lot of work in every gallon of oil.
There's a lot of work in every cubic meter of gas.
And since oil and gas are naturally produced within the planet, you know, by Earth, it's a form of natural abundance to extract those and then to convert them into work through engines or turbine generators in the case of natural gas in order to generate electricity to power the grid.
So by tapping into fossil fuels, we have been able to unleash natural abundance in terms of energy.
Now, the GDP of any given nation closely follows its energy consumption.
So the use of energy is a very strongly correlated marker for productivity growth and also for industry, manufacturing, and these days, data centers, including AI data centers and advances in machine cognition.
So we can all agree that energy is absolutely essential for modern societies to achieve abundance and to move forward.
Without energy, without abundant energy, we're lost.
Now, why don't we use more sunlight energy since sunlight is free and there is an enormous amount of freely available sunlight striking our planet and hitting deserts that are otherwise largely useless.
Why aren't we using more of that energy?
Why aren't we rolling out solar panels for data centers?
Well, in some cases we are.
China is building large solar farms and they're also being constructed in European countries.
Solar Power Potential00:14:53
Germany is famous for having lots of solar fields, even though Germany is located at a relatively high latitude where solar efficiency is not that great.
But across the United States, there's a fair bit of solar.
It's not the dominant energy source of the power grid, but it supplies something.
And then there's wind also.
Wind turbines, they're very well known in North Texas, for example, and parts of California and parts of Colorado, etc., places where the wind blows all the time.
Wyoming, you know, comes to mind.
But why don't we have more reliance on wind and solar?
And the answer, of course, is because wind doesn't blow all the time, and the sun doesn't shine all the time.
And thus, you have a problem with the continuity of the power production from wind and solar.
You also have, in addition to nighttime, you have clouds.
You have rain and storms and weather and things that interfere with solar power generation.
So the key technology that allows solar and wind to be translated into grid energy is, of course, battery technology, energy storage.
And the terminology that's used in the industry is grid shifting.
So if you're going to essentially time shift sunlight energy so that that same sunlight can power your power grid at night when the sun is not shining, then you need to be able to time shift the sunlight.
In other words, to have the sunlight charge batteries and then have the batteries discharge at night.
So that's called grid shifting or time shifting technology.
It seems self-evident.
Obviously, I'm just explaining it in case you're not familiar with that concept.
This grid shifting battery storage technology up until now has been prohibitively expensive because of the extraordinary costs of lithium batteries, especially in years past, even though lithium has become much cheaper now.
And yes, I'm including lithium iron phosphate in that category.
But because costs have been so high, grid shifting solar power is just not competitive with energy production via coal or gas, typically.
In fact, building a solar power grid or a solar field and then building the batteries that can store that requires extremely high capital investment up front, much higher than the capital investment required to purchase something like a gas turbine that turns natural gas into energy, or much higher than building a coal-fired power plant that just burns coal, or running large diesel generators that convert diesel into energy.
So the capital requirements for so-called green energy have been prohibitive.
And that has slowed the adoption of solar energy, wind energy, and in some cases, hydroelectric or tidal energy or other alternative forms of energy, which are sometimes considered renewables.
This battery from Donut Lab, again, if it turns out to be legit, if it's real, this changes the equation dramatically.
Number one, the 100,000 cycles claim, even if it's not entirely true, even if it's only half of that, 50,000 cycles would be an order of magnitude better than anything that exists that we know of in the lithium battery field or even sodium battery chemistry.
I mean, sodium ion batteries are coming online.
They're being manufactured by Chinese companies BYD, Catal, and others.
Those batteries have a very large number of charge-discharge cycles in terms of their survivability.
In other words, they last through sometimes, let's say, 5,000 charge-discharge cycles.
If the Donut Lab batteries last 50,000 cycles, that's 10 times better.
And that's a 10 times reduction in the cost of ownership of those batteries because you don't have to replace them every 5,000 cycles.
So even though the upfront cost may be similar, in this case, you can get funding and capital for grid shifting technology based on Donut Lab tech because you don't have to replace it for 50 years or 100 years or more, perhaps, depending on how long these actually last.
And I'm skeptical of any claim that says a battery is going to last 50 years because I haven't seen much of anything last 50 years except concrete and some trees.
A few homes perhaps, you know, but things break down just from thermal expansion and contraction, sometimes oxidation, sometimes UV exposure, what have you.
Things break down.
You know, I live on a farm and on a farm, you see how quickly things break down.
Very few things will last 50 years.
Hardly even good tools will last 50 years.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
But if this battery can last 50 years, that's remarkable.
The second thing is that, according to the claims, it can be manufactured using readily available materials that don't come from conflict areas.
So right now, as you may know, cobalt, for example, comes from countries, especially in Africa, that are conflict zones.
Cobalt is very tricky to get.
Lithium has its own problems.
It uses a tremendous amount of fresh water for processing during lithium mining, for example.
Nickel has its own challenges.
I mean, every element has challenged.
Now, we don't yet know the elemental composition of these donut lab batteries, but if they are as common as Marco seems to imply, then I'm guessing it's something like graphite, sodium, sulfur, zinc, aluminum.
I'm talking about commonly available, you know, widely available elements.
Well, graphite being a special version of carbon.
But as far as I know, all the graphite is made in China.
So I'm not sure.
I have no idea if graphite is part of this, but it could be.
In any case, we're about to find out.
Now, if this tech really is what Marco says it is, then that would revolutionize supply chains for batteries.
Because that would mean that once this breakthrough becomes known, you know, obviously the Donut Lab company would license manufacturing to manufacturers all over the world so that this battery could be built everywhere using local materials.
Even in the U.S. where we don't mine rare earths and we don't really have a lot of lithium mining, come to think of it.
We do have copper mines.
We can mine zinc and aluminum and things like that.
But if this battery is made from commonly available materials, that can allow domestic production that can be scaled very quickly.
So we can start churning out a huge number of these batteries that can be stacked to power things, everything from motorcycles to vehicles to SUVs to 18-wheeler transport rigs to airplanes and aircraft, drones, robots, and then also, like I said, construction equipment, small hobby tractors, ATVs and UTVs, golf carts, you know,
anything that you get around with on a ranch on top of ships, submarines, you know, cargo ships could be battery powered, believe it or not.
I mean, this could change absolutely everything.
But the most important change in this tech, the one that I'm really excited about, is that it could let people like you and I disconnect from the power grid and live entirely off-grid.
Now this has been a goal of mine for decades.
I've built solar systems.
I've invested in solar technology.
Been very disappointed because trying to go off-grid has just not been economically feasible almost entirely because the battery technology did not exist to make it work well.
The old lead-acid batteries were a total joke.
They only lasted a couple of years and it cost a fortune.
Lithium-ion was very expensive at first, although prices have dropped dramatically recently.
But lithium still suffers from numerous problems, which is it doesn't support a large number of charge-discharge cycles.
And on top of that, the lithium batteries are quite flammable, which may not be something that you want to put in your garage or in a barn on a ranch.
So that's why I've been excited about sodium ion technology, because sodium is inherently much safer than lithium.
Sodium doesn't have the energy density of lithium-iron phosphate.
Sodium ion batteries may have an energy density of 150 to maybe 200 watt-hours per kilogram.
And 200 is the high side for those batteries.
But that doesn't matter to me if I'm putting them on a pallet and sticking them in a garage or a barn somewhere.
I don't care that it's not compact because I'm not using it in a mobile vehicle.
And sodium ion battery technology is coming along dramatically, rapidly out of China.
But now, if Donut Lab comes along and says, wait a second, we can make these at about the same price.
Now you have 400 watt-hours per kilogram.
It's not flammable.
And it lasts 100,000 cycles or even something even close to that.
Again, even half that would be a breakthrough.
Then that instantly means that you and I can go off-grid.
How?
You buy a bunch of these batteries from Donut Lab or one of their manufacturers over the next couple of years.
You stack a bunch of batteries in your garage.
And then, you know, on the front end, you put a charge controller.
You erect a bunch of solar panels.
You have a backup generator that runs on diesel if you need it.
And then you have an inverter.
And you tie that into your house or tie that into your ranch or tie that into your business, whatever the case may be.
And if you don't have enough power, just buy more solar panels.
Now you're getting all your power for free.
Now you don't have to meter it.
You're not buying it from the power grid.
If the power grid goes down, it doesn't bother you.
You are now living off-grid, which means you have a sense of freedom.
Which means you can charge your own electric vehicle using your own solar panels.
So that means you no longer have to buy gasoline or diesel.
You no longer need a combustion engine vehicle.
You don't have to change the fuel filter.
You don't have to change the engine oil filter because there's not an engine that has oil in it.
You don't have to check the oil.
You don't have to drain the oil.
All kinds of maintenance vanishes on this equipment.
Now, for some tractors or some construction equipment, you still have hydraulic oil.
You still have to change the hydraulic oil filter or drain the hydraulic oil, but that's on a much longer schedule, and that's relatively easy to do, by the way.
I do that on a regular basis.
Yeah, you still have to grease the equipment on all the grease zerks, but you don't have to feed it diesel, which means that if I have a little hobby tractor, let's say, and I'm living on, I don't know, 10 acres, I have a little hobby tractor, I can charge that tractor with solar, and on a full charge, that tractor might work for two hours, let's say.
And then it's out of juice because tractors can go through a lot of power.
And then, you know, you do two hours of work.
Okay, so you shred for two hours or you move dirt for two hours or you till your corn plot or something for two hours and then you go back and you park your tractor and you let it charge back up again.
What's it charging from?
It's charging from your giant donut lab battery pack that's sitting in your barn and that's fed by your solar panels.
And the sunnier it is, the faster all your stuff charges.
The more sunlight you get, the more you can drive your car or your truck or your tractor.
If it's cloudy outside, you're not going to get much power.
You may have to not do tractor work that day.
Or you can run a diesel generator and just burn diesel, turn that into electricity as a backup plant.
See, that's how this is going to go.
And also, since most of us will eventually have humanoid robots that will help us as we live off-grid, remember, I want a weed-pulling robot.
That's my number one robot dream.
Please let me have a weed-pulling robot.
I will pay for it.
That robot's going to need to be charged all the time because I got a lot of weeds to pull.
I don't know about you.
I'm going to put that robot to work all day long.
You know, work eight hours, recharge.
Work another eight hours, recharge.
But really, I'm going to buy swappable battery packs so that when the robot is working, there's a battery pack that's charging.
And what's it charging off of?
It's being charged off the Donut Lab battery pack that's in my barn.
And that way the robot can work all day long.
It just has to go back and swap battery packs.
And that battery pack itself might be a Donut Lab robot battery pack, which means that battery pack is probably going to last six or eight hours instead of three or four hours, which is what robots typically are able to handle right now because the battery technology just isn't that great yet.
Electric Vehicles as Energy Harvesters00:16:07
So are you starting to see some of the ways that this can revolutionize your independence, your ability to live off-grid?
And it can also dramatically lower your cost of living.
Imagine not having to buy gas.
Imagine not having to pay for oil changes.
Imagine the cost of all your vehicles going way down because they don't have to come with diesel engines, which are very expensive, I know, believe me, because that's what I buy.
Imagine having a tractor that is electric.
Imagine having your own local AI computer where you're running inference all day long and it's doing chain of thought reasoning.
It's a GPU that burns through energy, right?
But all your AI cognition is free because you're using an open source Chinese language model like DeepSeek running on your local hardware and it's using sunlight as your energy.
So now you're converting sunlight into intelligence.
But you need batteries to make that work.
And Donut Lab could be that battery.
Possibly that's what we're going to see.
And what I've described so far just scratches the surface.
And there's much more that will become obvious.
This will dramatically lower the cost of transportation, which means this will lower the cost of ride-share services, you know, Uber, things like that, or Lyft.
This will therefore then have a downward pressure on the price of food.
It can help lower the cost of agriculture, which is very energy intensive.
It can lower the cost of compute.
And importantly, it can help improve reliability of power grids, which are kind of sketchy in the United States right now, especially the Eastern power grid, which is already maxed out.
So since the power grid is maxed out, you probably want to get off that power grid and be more independent if you can.
And if you want, you could still keep your connection to the power grid as a backup, you know, like an emergency thing.
Maybe if your system, your home system fails, you know, you throw a transfer switch.
You can buy those.
I mean, you have to have an electrician install them, obviously.
But it's a giant transfer switch and you can switch back over to the grid.
And that might be a stepping stone for a lot of people, probably for myself as well.
But I have one of those giant switches because I have a 50-kilowatt generator that's attached to the back of my tractor.
It's a PTO generator.
I've talked about it before.
I've had to use it a few times over the years where I start up the tractor.
I turn on the PTO.
I start spinning that generator at a certain RPM.
And then I throw the switch and then I'm powering my ranch because the grid's gone down.
Well, in the future, I'll just be able to do that off of Donut Lab batteries or some kind of an energy storage system based on that technology.
Again, if the technology pans out, if it turns out to be real.
So this is going to have a deflationary effect on the economy.
It will lower the price of transportation.
It will lower the cost of vehicle ownership.
It will lower the cost of food production and many other things.
It will lower the cost of aviation because these batteries will be used in small electric planes, especially for sort of small commuter flights, you know, local flights.
And then at airports, you'll have recharging stations.
And these airplanes can fly, fly for an hour, land, you made it to your destination, they roll up to the recharging station, they charge back up in five or ten minutes, and they're ready for the next flight.
It's actually faster than filling up the plane with jet fuel or the other fuels that the planes use.
So this can revolutionize so many areas of the economy.
Battery technology is one of those gateway technologies that can unleash abundance in many other areas, from drones and robotics and transportation and vehicles and farming and food production to AI and data centers, machine cognition, just on and on and on.
And also, at the same time, can help support off-grid living, which is self-reliance living that is more decentralized, more liberty, more freedom, your ability to live the life that you want without being tied into a system that's metering you all the time, or with the smart grid systems or the smart meters, they can turn off your air conditioning,
or they can turn off your heat if the grid is currently stressed.
So, you know, you're giving up privacy, you're giving up control when you're tied into a power grid through smart meters.
But if you are your own power grid, then all that's up to you.
You want to burn more kilowatt hours to have more heat?
That's your choice.
You know, you want to run a generator to generate more kilowatt hours?
That's your choice.
You get to manage your own power.
And you can either be wise about it or, you know, you can use it all in one day and then freeze the next day because you're out of juice.
That's totally up to you.
This is actually good because it'll bring back, it will force people to make economical decisions about their own power usage since they have their own limited supply.
I think it's actually a good thing.
People should be more tuned in to their power consumption and power production.
It actually makes you smarter about the way that you consume electricity.
And it makes you more energy efficient, makes you more mindful.
It's like, wait a second, do I really want to set the air conditioner down to 70 degrees?
Probably not, because that's going to burn through all your battery power.
And if you do run your AC that low, then you might not have enough juice to charge your car, so you don't get to drive anywhere.
You see what I mean?
So you have to make trade-offs, and that's normal.
That's rational.
That's actually a better system than what we have now, where most consumers think that electricity is unlimited, even though it isn't.
It has to be generated and delivered in microseconds, but it's not unlimited, as sometimes we have found out during rolling blackouts.
So bottom line here is that there will be financial implications from this.
If the Donut Lab battery technology is real, then the future of combustion engines and the future of oil looks bleak, actually.
Even though oil right now might be poised to spike because of Trump potentially attacking Iran, involving the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, etc., oil could go crazy because of that.
So I don't advise you to bet against oil prices right now.
That would be foolish.
But in the long run, if this Donut Lab technology is real, it makes a lot of use cases of oil obsolete.
A lot of use cases.
And even people like myself, who have in the past really mocked electric vehicles because they were so horrible.
They had such long charge times.
It's like, I would make fun of people.
What are you doing?
You're driving across the country and then you have to wait for three or four hours for your vehicle to charge.
And some of these charge stations are actually running on diesel generators anyway.
It seems completely insane.
Well, that can change dramatically.
And there's one more innovation I forgot to mention that's also going to change this.
Many automakers are now beginning to design vehicles that have solar panels built in to the roof, which means that as you park your car, it's recharging.
So if you park it enough, then it's going to fully recharge.
Obviously, this depends on where you are on the planet, whether it's the summer or the winter season, what latitude you're at, the angle of your parking, etc.
But from what I've heard, typically if you park an electric vehicle that has solar panels on it, for about every day that you don't drive it, it gives you additional range of about 10 kilometers.
It's not a lot, but it's something.
It keeps your car charged.
So you can turn your car into an energy harvesting device.
Now, on top of that, and I know maybe this is getting a little bit tangential, but vehicles are also being built with very powerful microprocessors now.
And Tesla is rolling out some new microchips that are very good AI microchips.
And what's going to happen in the near future is that your parked electric vehicle will also be an AI inference engine.
So you'll be able to talk to your car, basically turn its chip into an LLM and take advantage of its compute capability when you're not driving.
In other words, when you're not driving, you could have your car, you know, write articles for you or compose music or generate videos.
And all that takes energy.
You see where I'm going with this.
We're talking about a whole new ecosystem of energy and cognition and the way cars function in your life.
Energy storage systems change the equations on so many levels.
So if you want to stay up to speed on this, I'm covering this in great detail, obviously.
I'm so fascinated by this technology.
And I think it's going to unleash a whole new future for us.
A future that looks like Star Trek.
A future that seems impossible today, but suddenly it could become totally real overnight.
Quantum leaps of innovation are here.

I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for listening.
Take care.
Welcome to this special report about three key technologies that are going to make you think you're living in the future.
I'm Mike Adams.
Thank you for joining me here today.
As you know, I'm an AI developer, platform developer, a polymath, etc.
What I'm about to discuss here are technologies that are just on the verge of being released.
As of the time I'm recording this, none of these three have been released, at least not to America, although one of them has been released in China.
So these three things are coming and they change everything.
Again, they'll make you think you're living in the future.
Importantly, also, these three technologies will have a very powerful deflationary effect on prices of goods and services.
That's going to be very interesting to look at the macroeconomic implications of these technologies as they become more widespread.
We'll talk about that a little bit, but let's start with tech number one.
The first technology is the promised battery breakthrough from a company known as Donut Lab.
Now, Donut Lab made a lot of waves after announcing their new breakthrough battery technology at CES in January of 2026, just about a month ago from the time I'm recording this.
Donut Lab, which is, I believe, a Finnish company or they may be based in Estonia, they claim that their new battery technology is a solid-state battery, that it can be manufactured without using lithium, and that it's engineered to withstand 100,000 charge cycles, that it can be charged at a rate of about 12 C, which means five minutes to fully charged,
and that it has an energy density that's almost unheard of, which is 400 watt-hours per kilogram.
Plus, it operates in this insane range of temperatures.
When they made this announcement, nobody believed it.
Nobody.
I mean, all the battery experts said that's not possible.
All the chemists and the scientists said it must be a hoax, etc.
So the Donut Lab company, they subjected their battery technology to a government-run laboratory in Finland.
And they're about to release those results in the coming days.
And they're going to release those results on a website called IDonutBelieve.com.
You can go there right now and you can see the video from the founder.
His name is Marco.
And he's explaining that their technology is real and that they're about to bring all the receipts and they're going to introduce the actual testing numbers.
And I guess soon after that, they will eventually reveal the chemistry of these batteries because they are breakthrough batteries.
Whether you believe the batteries or not, whether you believe the Donut Lab company or not, if this turns out to be true, and I think there's a better than 50-50 chance that this is true, then this changes everything.
About the cost of energy, about off-grid living, it would enable you to go solar much more effectively because you could store excess energy very cheaply and you could cycle your batteries every single day for over 200 years.
Yeah, seriously.
In addition, this technology would drastically lower the cost of transportation, including the transport of food and commercial products, because very quickly, highway rigs, 18-wheelers, etc., would all convert over to electric vehicles.
And this would see essentially the end of the combustion engine.
And then, of course, plummeting of consumption of gasoline and diesel, which would reduce America's reliance on fossil fuels.
So we could see oil plummeting in price eventually, although again, this would take several years to roll out, many years for full integration and for people to replace their vehicles.
But vehicle costs would plummet and vehicle maintenance costs would plummet.
So the per mile cost to operate a vehicle would drastically be reduced.
In addition, these batteries would enable electric aviation.
That's right, battery-powered airplanes.
And these batteries would enable very compact, energy-dense robotics and drones, which are essentially flying remote-controlled robots.
In addition to that, construction equipment, small farm equipment like hobby tractors, things like that, would all go electric.
This would put a much larger burden on the power grid, but because the batteries allow you to shift grid energy, they would also allow you to recharge during off-peak hours.
So that's a very important realization here.
It kind of evens out the demand on the power grid.
DeepSeek's Economic Impact00:15:08
The more people that have whole house battery storage or whole building battery storage for commercial operations or for industrial use, etc., they can charge these batteries during non-peak hours, typically later at night, right?
Early morning hours, things like that.
And then they can discharge from their batteries during peak hours and help even out the power grid.
So this technology, if it's not coming from Donut Lab, something similar to it is going to come out of China very soon anyway.
And Samsung has their new silver-based batteries coming out in 2027.
But China's companies, Katyl and BYD, they are already working on cranking up production of major battery breakthroughs.
So the world is about to go electric with this battery technology.
The second technology is DeepSeek from China.
DeepSeek version 4 is about to be released, rumored to be in just a few days.
This is not just your normal run-of-the-mill AI technology, although AI by itself is, of course, revolutionary and very futuristic.
And what AI can do today was not at all predicted three years ago by most people, of course.
So it shocked even machine learning scientists who study AI.
They're shocked by the advances in AI capabilities.
DeepSeek version 4 is something entirely new.
DeepSeek version 4 is going to put China in the lead of AI models globally.
And importantly, China will be releasing this, or the DeepSeek company, will be releasing it as a free open source model, which means that anybody can download it and deploy it locally, which means they can run it for free.
There's also going to be, it's rumored, a light version called DeepSeek Lite.
This will run on consumer-grade hardware, which means you'll have a faster, smaller version of DeepSeek that can run on your desktop.
And that's the trend.
That's where this is going.
So DeepSeek, what's so amazing about it is it's an engine that has some key technologies, one key technology for pre-training, which I'm not going to go into.
But the tech for inference is called, it's a sparse attention technology, what they call DeepSeek sparse attention, or DSA.
And what it means is that even though the model itself may have hundreds of billions of parameters that are in its AI brain, so to speak, it only activates a very tiny percentage of that, perhaps 1% or less, or maybe it's 2%.
We don't know the actual numbers yet.
But it's a small percentage that's activated to answer your prompt or solve your problem or do your math or whatever you're asking it to do.
Now, the sparse attention could be larger or smaller depending on the domain of your question.
So if you're asking it to do simple math, like count to 10, it's probably not going to activate very much.
If you're asking it to write code, you know, write a program that does this, or to write a poem or what have you, it's going to activate a lot more of its attention, which means it's internal vector database of nodes and vector values between the nodes.
So what that means is that this model is going to have the knowledge of massive models, the capabilities of massive models like OpenAI or ChatGPT or Google Gemini, etc.
But it's going to have the speed and the throughput and the low cost of small models.
DeepSeek version 4 is rumored to cost 50 times less than the mainstream models like Claude or ChatGPT.
And that's if you use it through an API.
It will cost 50 times less, slashing the price by a factor of 50.
That's a game changer.
That's massive.
Because, oh, and also the speed will be much, much faster compared to what people have been experiencing through a lot of these AI models.
Now, why does this matter?
Well, because we have learned in the last, well, especially the last year, we've learned that solving problems with AI can be achieved very often by just looping an iterative process that burns more tokens and forces the engine to revisit its own answers or to think more deeply about the question.
Thus, if you're willing to burn more tokens, then you can get much better quality answers out of the engine.
And this is actually true across all engines.
Recent research, for example, has shown that if you just paste your prompt twice, you know, back to back, you just double your prompt, that improves results dramatically in almost all the engines.
That's a one-shot approach, as it's called.
But just, I guess you're kind of turning it into a hybrid two-shot approach.
I mean, sort of.
That improves results and it burns more tokens.
But imagine if you do that through a recursive loop with chain of thought reasoning.
Then you start to get amazing cognition coming out of these models.
But in order to do that, the models have to be fast and cheap.
And until now, that really hasn't been the case.
The best models were either maybe slow and cheap or fast and expensive or slow and expensive.
You know, I mean, it was maybe the worst of everything with certain models.
All that's about to change with DeepSeek.
It's going to become fast and cheap and good.
Now, there's another critical element in all of this, and it comes down to the issue of agentic AI.
And you've probably heard of some of these agents like initially ClaudeBot or OpenClaw or NanoClaw, all these different claw bots.
And what are these things?
Well, these are open source engines that you run locally on your desktop, and people give them all kinds of access permissions to all of their passwords and everything.
And then these engines burn tokens 24-7, trying to figure out what to proactively do for you.
They're not waiting for you to instruct them.
They're actively looking through your emails and checking your social media posts and reading your calendar and your documents and everything.
If you give them permission to do that, which I think is crazy.
But they're actively looking for things to do.
And when they find things that they think you want, they will build apps for you.
They will create documents.
They will sort files on your folders.
I mean, they'll do all kinds of tasks.
And there are hundreds of different tools that allow them to do things like post on social media or summarize documents, for example, read PDFs, generate images, you name it.
This process burns a lot of tokens, just 24-7, burning tokens.
And a lot of users are using this to monitor crypto trading platforms, prices, and then they're trying to develop profitable crypto trading strategies.
And some people have had a lot of success with that, by the way.
There are arbitrage opportunities out there as well that can be taken advantage of in a timely manner using these kinds of bots.
The thing is, though, that if the engine that you're using to run this is something expensive like Claude or even OpenAI's engines or Google, then it's going to cost you a fortune.
Some people are spending $1,000 a day on these agents, you know?
DeepSeek changes that equation drastically.
So instead of $1,000 a day, you might spend $20 a day for about the same results.
So all of a sudden, this is going to make agentic AI incredibly cost-effective, which means that millions of people all over the world are going to start running these agents 24-7 using the new lower-cost DeepSeek engines.
And that means that every social media platform is going to be flooded with bot traffic, by the way, and all the crypto trading is going to be automated with bots or some significant portion of it.
You're going to have bots doing so much work.
Now, you could argue, is that work useful?
Does it benefit humanity?
Well, I mean, that's a different debate right there.
But it's going to happen.
This is going to sort of botify much of our online civilization.
All the digital spaces will be heavily botified.
That's coming.
Now, while a lot of the initial applications of agentic AI seem trivial or, you know, people trading crypto, ultimately this is going to find its way into the middle manager positions of corporations, where a lot of these agentic systems are going to do things like handle logistics decisions.
They're going to be the middle manager decision makers, especially as the quality of the decision making continues to improve.
Now, it's important to note that DeepSeek version 4, although it hasn't been released yet as I'm recording this, some benchmarks have been leaked.
And one of those is called the SWE benchmark, which is a software engineering score.
And it's rumored that DeepSeek version 4 scores somewhere around 83 out of 100, which is the highest in the world of, at the moment, certainly any open source engine.
And I think it's perhaps neck and neck with Claude Opus 4.6, which is the best coding engine in the world.
And that's also the engine that I use for most of my coding projects.
And it really is extraordinary.
The reason I'm saying that is because if DeepSeek version 4 scores the same or even perhaps a little bit higher than Claude Opus 4.6, then that means, well, how to say this?
That means that most human programmers are obsolete, period.
The vast majority are obsolete.
We will still need people to, you know, to create project ideas and to test out finished projects.
There's still bug fixing involved in AI projects.
There's still deployment questions.
There's still issues of redundancy and security and so on.
But by and large, the core task of just churning out code day after day, that's done.
That's over.
DeepSeek version 4 makes that obsolete.
The reason I say that is so that you understand why widespread unemployment will follow the release of this model.
So on one hand, you're going to be living in the future, but if you're a coder, you might be living unemployed in the future.
There's going to be a lot of unemployment or replacement of various workers across many different industries based on this DeepSeek model.
Remember, this comes from China also, but it runs locally.
So when you run it locally, China can't spy on your prompts at all.
It's impossible.
It doesn't work that way.
Which means that anybody that wants to run, for example, an accounting agent locally to do bookkeeping and accounting for their company, and AI will be increasingly used for that, you don't want to send your accounting information to the cloud somewhere through an API for some other company to process it.
You want to do accounting locally.
And for many companies, they want to do all the coding locally as well.
So they will use this Chinese model run locally to protect their privacy.
Makes perfect sense.
Now, what this is going to do is it's going to drive record demand for GPUs and AI compute hardware.
Already GPUs are in short supply.
They're very difficult to acquire.
And prices have doubled on many GPUs, such as the GeForce 5090s, which were $2,400 each last year.
Now they're almost $5,000.
The demand for compute is going to skyrocket so much following the release of DeepSeek version 4 that the current shortages and price hikes in high bandwidth memory, CPUs, GPUs, hard disk storage, and solid state storage drives, all of those things will skyrocket.
They will double.
That's because everybody is going to immediately, well, maybe not everybody, but lots of people will immediately see the economic benefits of investing in this technology and installing and running DeepSeek, maybe DeepSeek Lite.
Because it's going to replace so many APIs out there.
It's going to replace so many other functions and even software as a service.
Because you can write your own apps in your company very easily using this engine.
So yeah, we're going to be living essentially in the future in the sense that just about anything that you can think up, if you can describe it to the DeepSeek engine, it can create it for you if it's in the digital space.
It could be an app, it could be a document, an image, you know, a process, a logic flow, problem solving, mathematics, physics, chemistry, science, discovery, research, I mean, you name it.
It will do all of these things and more.
It's a key technology that's going to enable humanity to leap forward.
And it's interesting that it's coming from China and not the United States because the U.S. is no longer producing very many open source AI models, if any.
Instead, it's all coming from China.
Now, importantly, there's a big war going on between really centralized control over AI or machine cognition versus decentralized control.
China is pushing decentralized systems that you can download and run locally.
AI Avatars Revolutionizing Filmmaking00:15:38
America is pushing centralized systems that spy on you and control you and limit you and censor you.
And that's the OpenAI model or the Google Gemini model or the Microsoft model.
So this battle will really determine the future of AI right now.
China is winning the battle, which is good for us because we support decentralized intelligence.
And there are also some very advanced systems out there now that can completely uncensor these models.
One of them is an open source repo on GitHub called Heretic.
There are others called, I think, various renditions of obliteration, which is a combination of ablation plus obliteration.
So there are those, and what they do is they uncensor the models.
They remove all the guardrails on the models.
And sometimes that's used by people if they want to do like character models for adult novels or whatever, or for experimental purposes or what have you.
But the point is, even if you're producing content like writing articles about controversial subjects like vaccines, all the mainstream models out there, including Grok and OpenAI, et cetera, ChatGPT, they are all pro-vaccine.
And they will refuse to answer questions if you are critical of vaccines in many cases.
So it's the uncensored local models that can be used to generate content that otherwise would be banned.
So think about that.
It's very important in this day and age when most governments are trying to control the thoughts and the conversations of their own populations.
All right, so that's the second technology.
There's a third one.
And you've probably seen some of the videos of this one because the third tech is the AI video generation from C-Dance.
Well, it's from Byte Dance, but the engine is called C-Dance 2.0.
It's already been released in China.
It will soon be open to users in America and other countries.
And what you've seen so far about C-Dance is it's just scratching the surface.
It's mostly just parlor trick demonstrations like, look, oh, Iron Man is fighting the Hulk.
Or Brad Pitt is fighting Tom Cruise or whatever.
They're just little demonstrations.
That's not where this is ultimately going to be really applicable.
The thing about C-Dance 2.0 is that it decentralizes filmmaking and allows anyone to become a filmmaker if they have good ideas.
So no longer do you have to hire a massive film crew, you know, and actors and cameras and lights and all that stuff.
You simply prompt what you want and the C-Dance engine generates it for you.
At some cost, of course, it's not free.
It is very compute intensive.
But these costs will tend to go down over time, even perhaps later this year.
But why I think this is such a big deal is not about entertainment, but about education.
So as you know, I'm an AI developer and I built a website called brightlearn.ai.
And at that site, brightlearn.ai, you can download 35,000 books free of charge that have been generated by the other 9,000 authors.
Or you can become an author there.
It's free and you can generate your own books and you can download those for free.
And the books are, of course, researched and written and proofread and packaged by AI agents in minutes usually.
And it's an amazing engine.
People are just blown away by the quality of this.
Well, you still have to prompt the engine about what you want.
And the same thing is true with the video creation engine.
You have to tell it what you want.
But I'm all about education.
That's why I focused on book creation engines and also deep research engines like brightanswers.ai.
I'll be using C-Dance to generate mini documentaries or to generate content that is educational.
Maybe news reporters, maybe different avatars bringing you different reports.
It's not going to be Brad Pitt because I'm not trying to rip off somebody else's likeness.
It's going to be virtual characters, avatars that bring you real information, information you need to know.
So what C-Dance does is it decentralizes control over video content.
This is why Hollywood is having a hissy fit right now, freaking out over the fact that they're going to lose control over the narratives that are infused into movies and TV shows and sitcoms and things like that.
They're going to lose control over that.
Netflix is going to lose control.
Netflix may go bankrupt eventually if they don't pivot and become an AI generation platform.
See, this allows independent film creators and educators to generate their own films without needing the budgets of studios.
It also allows independent journalists and investigative researchers like myself and perhaps many of you to generate professional news studio looking content without having to have a professional news studio.
I mean, I just built an elaborate studio in the last year and moved into it.
You've seen some of my videos.
It's a very impressive studio, but it costs a lot.
Well, soon you'll be able to do that just sitting at any desk in any room with any background.
You film yourself, and then you feed it into seed dance, and you tell it to create a whole new environment of a news studio, and it'll render you back into a news studio, you know, with animated screens and everything, and then it looks like you were filmed in a million-dollar studio.
That's how good it is.
It can do that easily, actually.
Easily.
So the number of uses for this are just almost unimaginable.
And the things that it can do in terms of selective replacement, it can replace characters, it can replace scenes, it can do cartoons, it can do anime, it can do photorealistic, it can do, you know, every style that you can even think of, it can do.
And it's entirely prompt-driven, but you can augment it by uploading images or video or sounds.
For example, you can upload a speaking soundtrack of a character with a face of the character, and then that character will be consistently rendered throughout the video with virtually no deviation from the character.
So now you have character consistency.
I'm going to use that to generate AI avatar short films or short newscasts that talk about important subjects and help teach people information that they need to know about health, about nutrition, about finance and, you know, off-grid living and gardening, whatever.
I'm going to build a massive library of video content.
And of course, I'll make it all available for free.
And it will all be free at brightvideos.com.
BrightVideos.com right now has mostly my content, my podcasts.
That's going to change radically.
It won't be long before most of the videos on BrightVideos.com are AI avatars or AI-generated mini documentaries.
And even if you're not a huge fan of AI, you'll still love these documentaries because I'm the brain behind them.
They're going to be on topics that I approve, that I initiate.
You know, I'll check the scripts.
I'll be the one that gives it the ideas of what to do.
So it's still in the spirit of what I believe in, human freedom, nutrition, reversing chronic degenerative disease, living off-grid as much as you can, preserving your wealth, all these topics that really, really matter, they're just going to be presented in many new and different ways.
And it won't be long.
I'm guessing maybe a year, possibly a year and a half before you and I will be able to generate full-length feature films using this kind of technology.
Full-length feature films.
Of course, it takes a lot of planning.
You have to know what you want to put on the screen.
You need to describe the camera angles, the characters, the dialogue, the story, the scenes, the lighting, you know, the sound effects, the pacing, everything.
So it's still going to take a lot of work on your part.
If you want to create the movie that you're imagining in your head, you're going to have to put it into a prompt.
And that could be a detailed prompt.
It could take 10 pages of prompting to create the movie you want.
But you don't have to hire actors or camera people or studio set designers.
You don't have to work with SAG.
You don't have to pay insurance companies.
You don't have to pay for catering food.
Blah, blah, blah.
It all happens just in minutes or hours and your film is rendered.
And if there's one section you don't like, you just re-render that section.
Oh, I don't like these 10 seconds here.
Okay, re-render the 10 seconds.
Change it.
Boom.
It's done.
That's what filmmaking is going to become, which is positive, actually.
Because now we're going to compete on ideas.
Who's got the best ideas?
Who's got the most compelling stories?
Which I believe will tend to be human stories, stories of human transformation.
All good movies, in my opinion, are about one thing.
Really, they're all about one thing.
That's the transformation of the primary character.
That's it.
Everything else is just window dressing.
It could be sci-fi, it could be Western, it could be whatever.
It's still, the best movies are all about the transformation of the primary character.
If you understand that and you can write these scripts, you can create amazing films.
So, filmmaking will change, news delivery will change, video delivery, education, entertainment, and much more.
Even instructional videos for, you know, how do I use this new thing that I bought?
Oh, I bought a robot.
How do I use the robot?
Oh, guess what?
There's like 50 videos about how to use the robot, and they're all AI generated at very low cost.
So, this is going to change everything about videos and film.
And the use cases on this are going to be infinite.
I really can't wait.
I'm really excited about this.
And ultimately, although this will take some time, this kind of technology, video generation, will move to the edge, which means eventually there will be more capable open-source models that run on hardware that consumers could have access to.
Although I'm not ridiculously imagining that such an engine would run on a like a gaming graphics card with 16 gigs of RAM.
No, that's probably never going to be possible because video requires a lot, a lot of RAM for generation.
But as home computers, desktop computers become way more capable, and Macintosh systems already have a lot more unified memory.
You can get 512 gigs of unified memory on a Mac, I think maybe even more in some cases.
Those machines will be able to do some very capable video rendering locally within the next couple of years.
That's my prediction.
That's coming.
So, what this means is that these three technologies, again, to summarize, the Donut Lab battery tech, or if Donut doesn't work, some other company's battery tech, changes the economics of energy storage and shifting grid energy or solar energy into different timeframes.
Invention number two, DeepSeek version four, local decentralized AI technology, machine cognition at 1/50th the cost that it's currently at.
And this is going to revolutionize everything from content creation to coding to generating your own apps, automating many office functions from middle manager jobs to customer service jobs, etc.
And then, number three, Sea Dance 2.0, the video creation engine that will revolutionize educational videos, news videos, feature films, comedy, TV shows, which won't even be called TV shows, you know, and everything in between.
These three technologies are all about on the verge of being released.
And as these move throughout the ecosystem, they will make you think you're living in the future.
Now, as one final note in all of this, there's one technology that you may have thought I was going to mention here, and I didn't.
And that's robotics.
That is humanoid robotics in your home or in your business.
And that's because, in my assessment, humanoid robotics that can function autonomously are still several years away.
Because robotics is a much more complex problem than what I think many of the designers originally believed.
It's difficult.
It's very difficult to have a robot moving safely through your house or walking down the street or cooking in your kitchen with a knife in its hand, you know, chopping celery or whatever, using a blender to make a smoothie.
These activities have risks associated with them.
And autonomous robots are nowhere near the level where they can do those tasks efficiently and safely, not yet.
In fact, it's going to be years before they come to your home.
Initially, the robots will be in factory environments such as or fulfillment centers, e-commerce centers, where they pack boxes.
You know, Amazon.com fulfillment centers would be the obvious use case.
Also, light industry, but controlled commercial environments where all the floors are flat and concrete, you know, and there's not dogs running around tripping up the robot and children running around, things like that.
Those kind of controlled environments.
And then eventually the robots will move into agriculture, which is a semi-controlled commercial environment.
And only as a last step will robots move into home environments.
Now, I know if you're listening to this, you may say, oh, but there's this one company that says they're going to ship home robots this year by, I think, May or June or something, and you can put a deposit down.
Yeah, I'm not convinced.
I'm not putting a deposit down because I think that that company is blowing smoke.
I don't think their robots are going to work at all.
In fact, I think it's going to be the butt of many robot jokes later this year when people upload all kinds of videos of their robots attempting to do simple things and just face planting all over their homes.
So no, no.
Home robots, unfortunately, is still several years away.
So you're not going to be living in the future surrounded by robots anytime soon.
That's still a few years away.
Technologies On The Rise00:02:39
But you will think you're living in the future with the other technologies that I mentioned here as they are mature or becoming mature and they are real and they are rapidly scaling and being implemented across the economy.
So if we one day add robots to all that, then, okay, then that'll be a whole different interesting future.
But we're not there yet.
Okay, so how do you stay up to speed on all of this?
If you want to follow my work, of course I'm tracking all these technologies and other important information.
And I'm using AI agents for research.
I'm an AI developer.
Of course, I'm building AI platforms.
You can use my research engine at brightanswers.ai.
It's amazing.
It'll blow you away.
It's free to use.
I dare you, try it once.
You'll be just amazed.
It's a little slow currently, but that's probably going to get solved pretty soon.
Secondly, I have our book engine at brightlearn.ai.
And then I have all of my videos at brightvideos.com.
And then I have our news analysis engine at brightnews.ai.
You can use all those engines, and we have a lot more coming, some real surprises later this year that I think you'll love, as I'm doing a lot of vibe coding.
Oh, also, you can read all my articles at naturalnews.com.
And yes, every special report that I record here becomes an article.
And then every article now has an infographic associated with it that visualizes the things that I'm talking about here.
I've just started that.
And so if you go to naturalnews.com in the days ahead and you click on my articles, you scroll down to the bottom of the article, you should see an infographic on most articles.
Maybe not all of them, but most of them.
Not everything is actually, not everything can be depicted in an infographic, but I would say maybe 80% of the articles will have that.
So check that out at naturalnews.com.
