Mike Adams warns of certain global famine as Iran's new Supreme Leader threatens U.S. bases, trapping half the world's LNG tankers in the Persian Gulf and closing the Strait of Hormuz. He details how this "Strait of Stupid" causes fertilizer shortages and diesel crises in India and Thailand, while U.S. defenses fail against Iranian drones. Adams argues America is a "paper tiger" unable to protect allies like Taiwan or Saudi Arabia, who may flee to China's superior shipbuilding capacity. With Mitch Vexler predicting a 600 trillion dollar debt crisis and civil war within nine meals due to food scarcity, Adams urges listeners to stock hard assets and survival supplies before prices double by Thanksgiving.

All right, welcome to Bright Videos News for Friday the 13th, March the 13th, 2026.
I'm Mike Adams, and we have a new statement from the new Supreme Leader of Iran, who has said, quote, all U.S. bases should immediately be closed in the region.
Of course, this is a translation into English.
Those bases, he says, will be attacked.
He also says, we will obtain compensation from the enemy.
If they refuse, we will take their assets to the extent we deem appropriate.
And if that is not possible, we will destroy an equivalent amount of their property.
He goes on to say, quote, we have foiled attempts to divide the country.
The Strait of Hormuz must remain closed.
Countries in the region must clarify their position regarding those who have aggressed against Iran.
Discussions are ongoing regarding the opening of other fronts in areas where the enemy has little experience and is highly vulnerable.
These other new fronts may be activated if the state of war continues and if it is deemed appropriate.
So part of my conclusion from all of this is that the U.S. is losing this war badly.
It's losing more than the war.
The U.S. is losing its standing in the Middle East.
The U.S. is about to be evicted from most, if not all, of the Gulf states in the Middle East.
Because any nation that keeps the U.S. there is going to be relentlessly and repeatedly attacked by Iran.
At the same time, the United States is also losing its economic abundance because of, well, not all of it.
I mean, the U.S. has its own domestic energy supply.
But because of the global demand for energy that is now becoming increasingly scarce, well, a lot of energy costs are going to go much higher, as you are seeing with increased gas and diesel prices in the United States right now.
You're going to see much higher prices of fertilizer and food as a result, as well as natural gas.
This is all going to translate into higher prices of consumer goods and everything that has to be transported, which is just about everything that you buy.
It's all going to get, well, much more expensive.
And the U.S. is facing financial catastrophe.
By the way, I'll have part two of my interview with Mitch Vexler today, later on, who continues the discussion about the financial catastrophe that we are facing.
Even beyond the war with Iran, by the way, it's much worse than just one thing.
It's multiple things colliding at the same time.
So we are in a very difficult situation.
Now, meanwhile, of course, we are subjected to constant lies and misinformation from our own government and from our Pentagon that says that every plane that's shot down, they say, no, no, it wasn't shot down.
Inflatable Military Deceptions00:05:55
It crashed.
It just crashed.
Oh, well, why did it crash?
I mean, we just lost a Strato tanker, you know, the KC-135.
Was just shot down over Iraq.
And we're told from the Pentagon, no, no, no, it just crashed.
Yeah.
Well, it crashed because it was blown up in the sky.
If you blow up a plane in the sky, then it does crash.
Yeah, so it's true that they say it crashed.
But why did it crash?
It crashed because it was blown up, you see.
Right.
But I've got special reports for you here today about a number of these subjects.
And I also have the first video from Master Fukov.
Remember, I promised that, Master Fukoff, he's the avatar that I've created who has words of wisdom, but also kind of a satire format.
It's very funny, according to most people.
So let's play.
Oh, by the way, Mr. Fukoff, his videos, or Master Fukoff, his videos will be found at brightvideos.com.
But let's play the first video for you here so you can have a look.
Here we go.
And there's going to be another video from him each day for a few days.
So this is a fun one.
Check it out.
I am a Master Fukov.
I am a practitioner of the ancient art of Fukyu Fu, the most dangerous and effective psychological shield of self-defense.
I am also author of famous book, Awaken Your Inner Middle Finger.
And I have very important message for humanity today.
If you said no to the mask and you said no to the jab, but you said yes to the war, then your inner middle finger is very, very weakling and pathetic.
You must strengthen your capability to say no.
I will teach you this in my channel on brightvideos.com.
Do not miss.
Until next time, I am Foukhoff.
All right, so there you go, Mr. Foukhoff, or master.
I have to get used to that.
I should remember this since I created the guy, Master Fukoff.
He's a very wise man, you can tell, right?
You can tell.
And if you follow Mr. Fukoff, you will do better in the world because you won't be gullible.
You won't believe all the lies of governments and corporations and mainstream media and health authorities and doctors and CDC and all that garbage, right?
Your number one skill, your number one most important survival skill is the art of Fukov.
For real, that's not a joke.
That's real.
Now, switching gears here, there's something I want to show you, which is that China makes a lot of inflatable equipment that looks like tanks and things.
I want to show you this video of how unbelievably impressive this is.
So what Iran has been doing is they've been purchasing inflatable rocket launchers, inflatable tanks, inflatable, I don't know, military equipment, radar, whatever.
And this is some of what's getting bombed by the United States, usually at the cost of millions of dollars, you know.
Also, Iran has been painting images of the, what is it, the F-14s?
Is that the Tomcat?
On the tarmac.
And Israel and the U.S. military have been bombing painted concrete numerous times, thinking that those were planes parked on the tarmac.
But check out this video of some of the inflatable military equipment that you can purchase from China, should you have an interest in doing so.
But check this out.
That's pretty impressive.
I got to say, that's pretty impressive.
Don't buy one of those, by the way, if for some reason you wanted to have an inflatable, you know, jet or something or tank.
Don't buy that.
Don't blow it up in your backyard because you're going to get a knock on the door.
That's for sure.
Like, what are you doing with a tank?
Oh, don't worry.
It's an inflatable tank.
No, you're still going to get a knock on the door.
Or like an inflatable rocket launcher.
But that might be America's future military parade if Trump remains president because everything is fake and gay, including, you know, the economy.
So I would imagine that in a future, in a future U.S. military parade, that they would just have these inflatable tanks rolling down the street and you're all supposed to pretend, you know, like the emperor's robes.
You're supposed to pretend, oh my God, that's so amazing.
Look at, so we're so advanced, you know, like inflatable hypersonic missiles rolling down the tarmac, you know, inflatable fifth generation fighters, inflatable F-35s.
Helium Shortage Crisis00:03:26
That's all we're going to have left at this rate since so many of our planes are getting shot out of the sky over the Middle East right now.
And it doesn't look like we can make many more because of the restriction of rare earth exports out of China.
So since we can't get rare earths, we just have to buy, you know, inflatable planes.
Just like try to scare Iran with showing how many inflatable planes we have at our military base.
You know, I don't think it's going to work.
So in addition to all of that, there's also a helium crisis now because of the shutdown of LNG production by Qatar.
So it turns out that about one-third of global helium production is currently offline.
Whoa.
This is bad.
This is bad for all of us because, of course, chip makers use helium for semiconductor manufacturing.
And you may or may not know this, but we use helium in our laboratory for our mass spec instruments.
Helium is used, in case you're curious, helium is used in our, it's the collision cells that are part of the mass spec stream.
Well, the ion stream goes through like an octopole and it's a collision cell.
The helium is used in there, something like four milliliters per minute in order to just keep one of the mass spec instruments online.
And, you know, we use helium in our ICPMS for heavy metals testing.
We use helium in our GC also that uses even more helium.
We have a big helium tank there.
You may have seen that in our lab video.
And, of course, I talked to my lab crew and said, look, you guys better stock up on helium because this is about to become super, super scarce.
And it may be extremely difficult to get helium for possibly years to come.
Well, you can't replace helium in microchip manufacturing.
So what this means is that, you know, Taiwan Semiconductor, for example, which is also running out of natural gas, they may have to shut down production lines.
Remember how I said that I was stocking up on GPUs and local compute?
And by the way, that Foucault video you just saw, that was all rendered locally, not in the cloud, not some service, not some big tech company.
I rendered all that on my own data center using open source software.
That's because I've been buying up the GPUs because I could see what's coming.
Well, the helium shortage is going to make this even worse.
And so, you know, there's already a severe shortage of high bandwidth memory, which is why NVIDIA raised the price of their GPUs almost double what they were late last year.
Like the 50-90 card, the GeForce RTX, 50-90, $2,400 last Christmas, $5,000 today.
Yeah.
Why?
Well, high bandwidth memory shortage, now helium shortage.
All the commodity costs are going up.
Copper, aluminum, you name it.
So the cost of compute is, or at least the hardware, is rising dramatically.
NVIDIA GPU Price Hikes00:15:07
And that's only going to get worse.
But also the cost of food is getting a lot worse.
And I've got a whole segment on that today.
The incoming famine that a lot of people are just now realizing is happening.
And then on top of that, North Korea has jumped into the mix here, saying that they're going to provide nuclear weapons to Iran.
Just in case you wanted one more complication with this whole thing, Kim Jong-un said, quote, we will issue no more warnings.
We will provide Iran with our latest arsenals and let Tel Aviv receive a harsh lesson.
The era of recklessness is over, he says.
Sounds like he's just kind of announcing a new era of recklessness, actually.
Anyway, he continues, those who think they can carry out assassinations without consequence will face an unimaginable hell.
Well, I don't know about you, but it sounds like Tel Aviv is already facing an unimaginable hell right now, based on all the incoming missile strikes that they are getting hit with.
So anyway, North Korea, think about it, if they just plop some nuclear weapons in the hands of the Iranians, then you don't have to wait for Iran to enrich nuclear fuel or build a bomb or anything.
It's just like plug and play from North Korea.
You just like duct tape that thing on top of a ballistic missile.
I mean, not literally, but you know what I mean.
Just kind of rig it up there and then launch it.
Oh my goodness, you know, nukes balooza.
I mean, we could end up in a nuclear war very, very quickly with North Korean nukes.
And of course, North Korea got those nukes probably from China or Russia.
But then again, Israel got its nukes from America.
So we've been all part of the nuclear weapons proliferation problem also.
But Iran's figuring out that if they don't have nukes, then they're going to be attacked forever.
So pretty much it's obvious.
It's like, have nukes if you want to be a sovereign nation.
So I would expect that to happen soon, actually, very soon.
By the way, a Pentagon investigation has confirmed that it was the U.S. that killed those 160 schoolgirls, 168 children.
They were killed by a Tomahawk missile that Trump initially denied because he's a liar.
Yes, it was a double tap.
So not only did the U.S. kill the children on purpose, but also then killed the parents and teachers that were there to try to rescue the children.
So that was a deliberate decision by the United States, an act of terrorism, obviously.
Weapons of mass destruction, killing civilians, you know, Israel style, IDF style.
The U.S. is trying to do to Tehran what Israel did to Gaza.
And this is why the Iranian foreign ministry has accused the European Union of being complicit in, quote, U.S. and Israeli aggression, brutalities, and atrocities, sort of referring to the U.S. atrocities against the school children.
Iran also said that the KC-135 refueling aircraft was shot down by pro-Tehran militias.
And on top of that, two oil tankers were hit early on Thursday.
The port of Salalah in Oman continued to burn.
And Saudi Arabia and Bahrain have reported strikes on their oil facilities.
And, well, there's a lot of other things going on, which we will cover more today.
So Trump's living in a delusional fairy tale land.
Everything we're told by the Pentagon in the White House is a blatant lie.
The U.S. is losing.
The U.S. military is losing.
And Iran appears to have the upper hand in this conflict right now because Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, which means that if the economies and industries of Western civilization were represented by, let's say, a naked man, then the nutsack of that naked man would be in the grip of Iran, like an iron grip of the balls of Western civilization.
I mean, sorry to have such lewd imagery, but you're the one who imagined it, not me.
No.
But that's an apt metaphor for what Iran has.
They've got the balls of the West in its hands, and it's squeezing, you know?
So not looking good for the West right now.
Not looking good for food crops, for finance, for the petrodollar, for the military, for Trump, for the GOP, for America.
Nothing is looking good.
And every piece of so-called good news coming out of the White House is complete fiction at this point.
Complete fiction.
That's all they can do now is weave fictions all day long.
So anyway, I've got a bunch of special reports for you today, or at least a few.
And I've got part two of my interview with Mitch Vexler, who sounds the alarm even more on all of this.
So all of that is coming up.
And then I want to remind you that we do have food supplies athealthrangerstore.com slash survival.
And they may run out within a few weeks, but for now we've got them.
And then also, don't forget to check out my rangerdeals.com website, which has links for discounts on our affiliate partners, including the therapeutic peptides, including also de-googled phones, firearms and magazines from Shield Arms, gold and silver from battalion medals, plus gold backs from the Goldback Company, and much more.
You can find all of that at rangerdeals.com.
So, all right, here come the special reports and the interview.
Enjoy the rest of the show.
In case you haven't heard, famine is incoming.
Global engineered famine.
Food shortages are going to hit all of us.
Food scarcity, price inflation, the lack of availability of food options or basic supplies.
And there are, of course, a number of reasons for this that all trace back to Trump's war with Iran.
Because of this war, right now, did you know that half of the liquid natural gas tankers in the world, half the ships that exist in the world that can carry natural gas are trapped in the Persian Gulf right now?
They can't get out because the Strait of Hormuz, of course, is, well, closed because Iran has said no one can transit without our permission.
That is a closure.
That's the reality of the situation that we are facing.
Tankers that have tried to cross have been blown up, destroyed, sunk.
So, and also nobody can get insurance if you try to sail through the strait because Iran has said you can't go through.
You know, unless you're a vessel bound for China or another country that is friendly with Iran, then you can go through, but everybody else, nope.
No soup for you.
So this is starting to have huge implications around the world, cascading effects that are going to destroy the global food supply.
For example, in Thailand, this news just came out of Thailand today.
Half of Thailand's fishing fleet, which consists of about 9,000 fishing vessels, half of it is being paused because there's a shortage of diesel fuel.
Shortage of diesel and higher price increases that would basically make fishing unprofitable.
So this is from the president of the Thai Fisheries Association.
So right there, half of the seafood that Thailand produces, which they also export all over the world, including to us, half that seafood is going to be gone.
Well, there goes your shrimp, huh?
There it goes.
Or if you do find shrimp in the grocery store soon, it's going to be, you know, $60 a pound or something, some crazy amount.
That's just one thing.
Taiwan also, of course, relies on a lot of natural gas for its industry, including its food processing industry.
Taiwan is a manufacturer of many food items.
And Taiwan is rumored to only have about 10 days of liquid natural gas remaining in its supply.
And because Taiwan is allied with the United States, then, you know, Iran is not going to let Taiwan ships sail through, or let's say, natural gas vessels headed for Taiwan.
Now, China will get what it needs, but not Taiwan, which means that China will have energy, and China also has blocked all exports of refined fuels, such as gasoline and diesel and jet fuel, etc.
Which means that Taiwan can't even buy those fuels from China, even if China would sell them.
Because the government of China says no.
So where is Taiwan going to buy natural gas?
Western Europe is desperate for natural gas, too.
So they're going to be bidding it up and trying to buy it from anywhere they can.
And Taiwan's going to have to compete with those bids from Western Europe.
Same thing with Japan.
Same thing with South Korea.
All of America's allies all over the world are going to have to pay double or triple or quadruple, perhaps, for natural gas.
That's going to destroy the food supply.
That's going to destroy fertilizer.
Much of the world's urea production comes out of the Gulf States and is transported out of there.
Much of the world's fertilizer comes out of there as well not all of it, but a significant portion of it.
As a result we've already talked about this fertilizer production has already plummeted and fertilizer costs have already begun to skyrocket.
And some farmers, reportedly that are trying to buy fertilizer now in America are being told, we're not taking any new orders because we can't.
We can't fill them, we can't even give you fertilizer.
So here we go.
It's it's springtime in America and you can't get fertilizer.
What's that going to do for crop yields?
Not good, obviously not good.
Yields could absolutely plummet.
So that will feed into the food scarcity.
You know it.
It doesn't even matter that America is the breadbasket of the Western Hemisphere.
Yeah, we grow a lot of food, but only if you've got fuel and fertilizer to grow it, and if both of those things experience extreme scarcity and shortages and price increases, then your crop yields plummet.
It's exactly what it has started to happen right now, and there's no end in sight for this.
There's no end in sight.
Right now, India is begging China for emergency shipments of Urea because India, which grows a lot of rice, for example, and other crops, India can't.
India is out of urea because there are no giant fertilizer stockpiles in India or almost anywhere.
So now they're going to face famine in a country of what?
Nearly 1.4 billion people, most of whom are poor, most of whom can barely afford to eat on a good day.
What this is going to impact is the marginalized communities around the world, those people who are living very close to the poverty line, where the highest percentage of their discretionary income goes to food, or maybe food and housing or shelter.
But when you're just living on the edge and you can just barely afford to eat and food goes up, even 25 percent, that plummets a lot of people into famine, into starvation, where often kids don't get enough to eat and sometimes people lose their homes because they have to, you know, sell or or mortgage their homes just to be able to afford groceries.
You know the money has to get shifted around in order to not starve.
So look, you have marginalized communities in America.
You have a lot of people who are living in food deserts.
You have a lot of people who don't have access to good food right now, the crappy food they have access to, that they buy at Walmart or the Dollar Store.
Let's say even that food is about to get a lot more expensive and a lot more scarce.
You know, at some point the only food that might be affordable Would be soil and green, I suppose.
That would probably be offered soon, or you know, cricket protein pancakes, something like that.
And that's what a lot of people are going to have to end up eating.
Isn't that sad?
All because Trump started a war that he didn't have to start.
It was a war of choice because he is controlled by Netanyahu and the terror state of Israel.
That's why Trump is doing this.
And in doing so, he's sacrificing the health, the food security of potentially over a billion people around the world, including many Americans.
Food banks are going to become overrun, especially in the fall, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas of this year.
Food banks are going to be overrun.
I would imagine even our own food supplies at our store, you know, because we've been in the food business, organic, lab-tested foods, storable foods, et cetera.
You know, that's my online business, HealthRangerStore.com.
We currently have a lot of food, but guess what?
Sales just started exploding yesterday.
And at the current pace, we're going to run out in, you know, maybe 45 days or something.
Empty Shelves and Rising Costs00:04:18
So I've instructed my staff, we got to make more, you know, ranger buckets.
We got to make more number 10 cans.
We're going to crank up the production here because we're going to have a hard time keeping up.
And I'm afraid to hear from our purchasing department.
I'm afraid because I think they're going to tell me at our next meeting, which is tomorrow.
I'm afraid they're going to tell me that they're not able to secure the supplies, the lots that they used to be able to secure.
Whether it's corn or lentils or mangoes or whatever, they're just not able to find it.
I bet that's what I'm going to hear.
But I don't know.
Maybe we're good for a few more months until the fall season.
I hope so.
We're going to buy up whatever we can and we're going to manufacture whatever we can and try to keep things in stock as best we can.
And we're not hiking prices.
We're not price gouging anybody.
You can buy food from us right now at last year's prices, even though later this year prices might double.
So, you know, because we don't engage in profiteering nonsense.
We try to bring you the best value we can.
But I can't guarantee how much longer we're going to be able to get these food supplies or what the prices are going to be.
It might be where we can still get them, but, you know, it's plus 50% or plus 100%.
And at that point, you know, man, if you thought organic was expensive before, just wait till it doubles, right?
That's where this is headed.
So look, another upshot of all of this is that the masses will not be prepared.
Most of the people out there, most of whom are barely making it paycheck to paycheck anyway.
I mean, they're in trouble now.
They're not going to do well.
And a lot of people are going to have to learn how to live on less, how to cook at home, how to make their own food, you know, how to buy basic ingredients like flour, right, and eggs and make your own pancake mix instead of buying instant microwavable pancakes or just buying fresh vegetables, making your own meals with lentils and beans and quinoa and maybe lard, you know.
People are going to have to relearn how to live on less.
Otherwise, they're going to face mass famine even in America.
Trust me, by Thanksgiving of this year, that is, conditionally, if the Strait of Hormuz doesn't get opened back up very quickly here, then by Thanksgiving of this year, there's going to be a lot of poverty.
There's going to be a lot of famine, or as they say, food insecurity.
And also, Trump and the GOP are going to get absolutely wrecked in the midterms.
Because, of course, gas prices will be higher and food prices will be higher and more shelves will be empty.
I'm not saying all empty shelves.
I'm not saying that.
But a lot of shelves will be empty.
In other words, there'll be a lot of food scarcity and fewer options.
So, you know, a lot of the things that I've warned about over the years that could be coming appear to be coming now because of this war with Iran that has shut off the world's supply of natural gas, which means much of the fertilizer supply, much of the urea, much of the sulfur, which also is used in making fertilizer, etc.
And much of the natural gas, etc.
So the, you know, just the second and third order effects of this in terms of the food supply are going to be dramatic and long-lasting.
And this is a certainty.
This isn't a what-if at this point.
It's already done.
Even if the Strait of Hormuz is open right now, you know, the LNG plants have been shut down and opening them back up would take at least a month.
And many of the oil fields are being shut down right now.
And many of the facilities, ports have been damaged.
The facilities are offline.
A lot of infrastructure is just gone for months or years to come.
So this isn't something that can just be recreated overnight.
Strait of Hormuz Mine Threats00:13:46
It doesn't work that way.
So get prepared in every way that you can.
I'll do my best to keep you posted.
You can watch all my videos and interviews at brightvideos.com.
And you can also read my articles at naturalnews.com with my very popular infographics that are there at the bottom of each of my articles.
So check it out.
Thanks for listening.
I'm Mike Adams.
Take care.
Well, the Strait of Hormuz may not have much traffic right now, but the Strait of Stupid is a super highway of activity at this moment.
Yeah.
What is the Strait of Stupid?
Well, that's my description for all the people who are being incredibly stupid in not understanding how the Strait of Hormuz is closed.
So welcome to this special analysis.
I'm Mike Adams.
And when we say the Strait of Hormuz is closed, what we mean is ships aren't moving through it.
And why aren't they moving through it?
Why?
Well, two reasons.
The risk of moving through the strait is too high.
There's a risk of being hit, attacked, set on fire, destroyed, because that's happened to some tankers already.
But also, there's no insurance.
You see, shipping companies, they almost always sail with insurance.
And these insurers, of course, determine the daily rate of insurance based on the cargo, based on where you are sailing and the number of miles or kilometers that you're sailing.
So insurance is a big part of the cost of international shipping.
And if you're anywhere near the Middle East right now, your insurance rates have gone through the roof.
They have gone up in some cases 500%.
And if you own a ship, let's say an oil tanker that is currently stuck in the Persian Gulf, and you want to sail that oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, when Iran has said, we're going to attack you, then guess what?
You can't get insurance.
You can't buy insurance.
In the same way that you can't buy insurance from a home insurance company, if there's an arsonist standing right beside your home with a gallon of gasoline and a book of matches, like let me know when you have the insurance, I'm going to set it on fire.
No, the insurance company is not going to write that policy if they're aware of the circumstances.
In the same way, the insurance companies that insure shippers aren't going to write the policy for a ship that wants to try to run the gauntlet through the Strait of Hormuz.
Nobody's going to insure that ship because the risk of loss is very high, like close to 100%, right?
So nobody's going to write insurance.
Thus, if you think about it, the only thing that is necessary for the Strait of Hormuz to be closed is for Iran to announce the intention of attacking vessels that try to sail through the strait without permission.
And yet, for some reason, otherwise intelligent people can't understand this.
That's why I call this the Strait of Stupid, because they jumped straight to Stupid.
They are saying things like, well, Iran's Navy has been destroyed.
Thus, there's no way to stop the ships.
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding?
I mean, who's dumb enough to say that?
Well, apparently lots of people.
Iran doesn't need a navy at all.
Iran has drones.
You've noticed that probably if you've been paying attention.
Drones can hit ships.
Drones could be launched from anywhere in the mountainous regions of southern Iran.
Iran has short-range and medium-range missiles that can hit ships from hundreds of kilometers inland also.
So it's not just the coastline.
So look, like I said, the only thing necessary to close the Strait of Hormuz is for Iran to say, we will attack you if you try to sail through the strait, unless you have permission.
And they have granted permission to certain countries.
For example, China or Pakistan or Russia, etc.
North Korea, I believe.
So, you know, friendly countries that are friendly to Iran.
They get to sail through there, no problem.
So when some people say, well, ships are moving through the strait.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With permission they are.
That doesn't mean the Strait of Hormuz is open.
I don't know why this is a complex concept for people to understand.
For some reason, you know, the pro-MAGA people right now, their IQ points have just plummeted.
I don't know what are you thinking?
The Strait is not open until Iran says it's open.
Until then, it's closed, no matter how much navy you have destroyed.
And the issue of mining, that's come up recently.
And it's funny because I know that everybody thinks of these floating spiked spheres like the mines of World War II.
And everybody talks about mines that way.
Oh, if they mine the strait, you know, it could attack any ship.
Folks, you don't think mines have advanced since World War II?
They're much more advanced now.
Mines can be turned on or off remotely.
You know, Bluetooth, not exactly Bluetooth, but other means of communication.
You can turn mines on or off depending on the ship that's sailing through.
So you can literally lay a bunch of mines.
And by the way, they don't have to float on the surface anymore.
Mines can be chained to the floor of the strait, okay, just anchored down there.
And then with a command, because remember, the strait is not that deep, with a command, you simply unleash the mines, and they can be given a command to either go active or to go inert.
See, they're dynamic mines.
They can be unleashed when the U.S. Navy sails into the strait, if the Navy is dumb enough to do that.
And these mines are probably right now sitting at the bottom of the strait.
So people say, well, the U.S. has mine clearing ships.
Yeah, okay, good luck.
Good luck with that.
Mine clearing ships don't clear mines that are on the bottom of the sea floor.
Okay.
And also, mine clearing ships don't stop drones.
So mine clearing ships are just, you know, targets, just juicy targets to be sunk by Iran.
And if you want to sail a ship, you know, a mine clearing ship into the Strait of Hormuz, I'm sure Iran would be happy to send it to the bottom of the sea because it's just stupid to think that you can clear the mines like as if this is 1943 or something.
It's not.
Things have changed.
All right.
So that's one thing.
And then the other part of the Strait of Stupid is that I keep hearing people say, well, we should just offload all the oil onto trucks and then just have the trucks drive across this just south of the Strait of Hormuz.
I don't know if you call it a peninsula or what do you call it, but have trucks drive across there.
Like all the ships can line up and unload their oil.
Trucks can drive it across however many kilometers it is and then they can re-transfer the oil to ships on the other side.
And people are saying, why can't we just do that?
We can bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
I don't know why people aren't thinking.
I just really don't understand it.
I mean, I don't know if it's just that people don't operate in reality.
Maybe it's because I live on a ranch and I, you know, I have to fix my own tractor.
I have to solve problems.
Actually, today I had a hydraulic hose get disconnected and I don't have enough force to try to plug the hose back in.
So I have to bleed pressure out of the hydraulic line in order to reconnect this coupler.
But I'm solving physical problems every day.
So when you say to me, oh, let's just unload all this oil from all these ships and just put it on trucks and drive trucks across the desert and then load it back up on the other side.
I'm like, blah, what?
First of all, you know what that would do to the cost of oil?
That is so inefficient.
You know, there's a reason that oil is transported by tankers, not trucks, when it comes to long-distance transport.
Tankers are highly efficient because you put all the oil on one vessel and then you have economies of scale of transportation.
But secondly, you don't even have the facilities to offload the oil.
You would need to first dredge out all the, you know, all the dirt and mud and everything because it's very shallow right there.
You have to dredge it out.
You have to build a port where the ships can come in and dock and then you have to build all the pumping equipment, which is very high pressure, complex pumping equipment to pump it all into trucks that I guess have to line up one at a time.
So it would be ridiculously slow unless you built like 10 pumping stations, which would take 10 years.
And meanwhile, if you're trying to build a bunch of pumping stations, guess what?
Iran's going to bomb them with drones.
So the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.
People, for God's sake, nobody's thinking through this.
And then, by the way, if the trucks actually were to be loaded up with all this oil and driven to the other side, you'd have to have another port facility on the other side to suck all the oil out of the trucks and pump it back into ships over there, right?
But guess what?
You still have a problem because now you have an empty ship on the west side that can't move through the strait because it's going to get bombed if it does.
So that empty ship is still stranded there in the Persian Gulf.
So what are you going to do about that ship?
Now you've got to find another ship to show up on the eastern side.
And the eastern side of that port is still within bombing range of Iranian drones.
So I don't know why people aren't thinking.
Closing the Strait of Hormuz doesn't just mean the water.
It means nobody moves oil through this region without Iran's permission.
Whether land or sea or pipelines, I mean, I've heard people say, build a pipeline across the land.
Okay, great.
Yeah, and then Iran will bomb it.
I mean, why aren't people thinking of this?
It's kind of self-evident, I thought.
You know, just because you can draw a red line on a map doesn't make it reality.
That's what a lot of people are forgetting.
Like, here's a way, you know, oh, great.
Let's just draw lines on the globe and call it a pipeline or call it a canal.
You know how long it took to build a Panama Canal?
You know how many people died building the Panama Canal?
And did you know the Panama Canal is not just a canal?
Did you know it's a series of locks on both ends of the whole thing with a giant lake or a series of lakes in the middle that's at a higher elevation?
Do you have any idea the complexity of building canals and actually how many decades it takes to do that?
And you can't build canals when you're under enemy fire, obviously, the entire time.
So that's why I call it the Strait of Stupid.
People aren't even thinking.
I mean, it's like kindergarten thinking.
It's like, why don't we just take helicopters and just pick up the oil tankers or the helicopters?
And then we fly the helicopters.
And then we jump after the oil tankers with a helicopter.
Right?
I mean, that's the same level of thing.
It's like, um, okay.
Where do we begin, right?
Just because people say things doesn't mean that they're physically possible in the real world.
And what we're dealing with here right now is physical molecules called hydrocarbons.
And hydrocarbons have to get from A to B.
And there is an elaborate global network of how hydrocarbons do that.
Even just talking about liquid natural gas, for example.
It's a complex system.
Like you have to liquefy them for one thing.
Because that's not the way that, you know, natural gas comes out of the ground.
It comes out as a gas.
The hint is in the name.
And then you have to liquefy it under pressure, obviously.
And that takes a lot of energy.
And then when you do that, then you have to load it onto LNG ships, which are the ships with the giant domes that are the scariest ships because they're like giant floating bombs.
You know, if anything goes wrong, everybody dies within a radius, like a large radius.
You know, like within a couple of kilometers or something.
It's bad.
And then you have to, you have to load that liquid natural gas without anybody accidentally creating a spark from all the metal parts, you know, and all the connections and all the valves.
It's like, no sparks.
One spark, we all die, you know?
That.
Now imagine trying to do that in a hurry under enemy fire.
End of American Empire00:05:42
Uh-huh.
Right.
Right.
You tell me, oh, you just got to just gonna like load it onto trucks while drones are just exploding around you.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Suicide mission is what that is.
Suicide mission.
So no, the Strait of Hormuz is not open.
Anybody who says it's open is retarded, frankly.
I don't know.
What is it?
They don't understand reality.
It's not open until, number one, Iran says it's open.
And then number two, the insurers tell the ship captains, you now have insurance, you can sail.
Only then is the Strait of Hormuz open.
And that's not happening anytime soon.
Unless, unless the world meets Iran's demands.
They've laid out their terms.
Reparations.
Netanyahu has to be turned over to the ICC for prosecution as a war criminal.
Iran's right to have nuclear weapons has to be recognized, etc.
There are terms.
There are other terms as well.
Oh, lifting of all the economic sanctions against Iran.
Yeah.
So literally, the only way, the only way for Western civilization to survive this is for basically, I guess, for Trump, America, Netanyahu to meet Iran's demands.
And those demands are unimaginable for Trump, who's already said we've won the war, which is absurd and also stupid.
And it's unimaginable for Netanyahu, doesn't want Iran to exist.
Israel has said it's going to keep fighting until Iran is destroyed.
Well, then the Strait of Hormuz shall forever remain closed.
And the lifeblood of hydrocarbons that feeds Western civilization and Western industry, manufacturing, and the petrodollar, all of that will collapse.
So it's a global game of chicken, isn't it?
Right?
America and Israel are playing chicken with Iran.
The problem is Iran holds all the cards.
Iran has already said, we're not negotiating.
We've already laid out our terms.
This ends when you meet our terms.
And as long as Iran sticks to that position, Iran wins.
Because no matter what the United States of America does, it doesn't own the real estate on the north side of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran owns that real estate, which means Iran controls it.
And unless you're going to land millions of U.S. troops, which would itself be incredibly risky and suicidal, because all those ships would be attacked and probably sunk before they could land the troops, etc.
Or if it's a land invasion, then they're all going to be vulnerable.
But unless you invade Iran with millions of troops and completely eradicate all the people in all the mountains and all the cities and everything, unless you commit absolute genocide and exterminate all the people of Iran, which I'm sure Netanyahu would love because that's the way he thinks.
But unless you do that, you can't win.
You can't stop Iran.
Even if you use nukes, you still can't stop it.
So it's only a question of Iran's political will.
If they have the will to take whatever damage the U.S. can dish out, then Iran will win.
And eventually the world will have to meet Iran's demands.
Maybe after the financial system collapses, which is probably coming anyway, but this could be the trigger.
Maybe after Western banking implodes, which probably would ultimately in the long run, that would be a good thing because the banking system is a total scam anyway.
You know, we may see the fall of Western civilization before the Strait of Hormuz is open.
But I guess that's up to Iran and the new Khamenei there who has a pretty smart attitude, actually, about this.
He realizes that he holds the guards.
His father was a lot more forgiving, let's say.
But they killed his father, and they killed his wife, and they killed his other relatives.
So he's not negotiating.
Can you blame him?
Really?
Can you blame him?
No.
All right, so look, hunker down and get prepared for the collapse of everything in Western civilization.
That's the bottom line.
Because without that straight being open, we can't function.
Our civilization cannot function.
I mean, not for long.
So, no, the Strait of Hormuz is not open.
The Strait of Stupid is fully functioning.
And actually, that strait runs right through Washington, D.C. and the White House and Congress.
The Strait of Stupid has a lot of traffic right now.
But unfortunately, it's not going to save us.
So get prepared.
If you want to get prepared with food supplies, since fertilizer is vanishing and urea supplies are vanishing, natural gas is going offline, etc., crop yields are going to plummet in the next growing season.
Illusion of Military Dominance Shattered00:15:26

And we put up a special selection for you at healthrangerstore.com slash survival.
So check it out there.
Thank you for your support.
And you can catch all my videos at brightvideos.com, along with the new videos of our resident Master Fu Koff.
He's the author of the popular book, Awaken Your Inner Middle Finger.
The gentle art of saying no or whatever is a subtitle there.
But yeah, check it all out at brightvideos.com and thank you for listening.
Take care.
Okay, you're watching history pivoting right now.
This is the end of the American military dominance of the world.
It's the end of the American Empire, or at least the beginning of the end.
And we're seeing just a daily humiliation of the U.S. military empire.
For example, just in the last day, a KC-135 Strato tanker, that's an in-air refueling aircraft, very large aircraft with, I believe, six crew members, was shot down over Iraq.
And of course it was shot down, even though the U.S. military always says, because they just lie constantly, they say, no, it wasn't shot down.
It just crashed.
Oh, wow, it just crashed, really?
Hmm.
Just like they said the F-18 Hornets over in the Red Sea last year, they said, oh, they rolled off the deck of the aircraft carrier.
Yeah, right.
Or when F-15s have been shot down in this current conflict, we're always told, oh, it was friendly fire, friendly fire.
Well, no.
Actually, all these aircraft are being shot down by either Iran itself or Iranian militia groups that operate in countries like Iraq.
So this KC-135 aircraft is toast.
And I think that's a $60-plus million dollar airplane all by itself.
And other similar planes are evacuating that area now, obviously, because, well, there's air defense functioning there.
But you're never told that.
But look, what's emerging here is the fact that the illusion of U.S. military protection for its allies has just been shattered by Iran.
Again, the illusion of U.S. military protection has just been shattered permanently.
And it's thanks to Trump and Pete Hegseth and others that they've just destroyed all credibility of the U.S. military, where everyone in the world used to think that the U.S. could protect its allies.
And now they realize, oh, it cannot.
It's just like I said a couple of weeks ago.
The U.S. military is a paper tiger.
You can go back to my podcast.
I said that exact thing.
And now they are proving it every single day.
They are proving that the U.S. military is a paper tiger.
Think about it.
The U.S. can't protect its allies in the Gulf, can't protect Qatar, can't protect Iraq, even Kuwait, UAE, you name it.
Can't protect Bahrain, obviously.
Can't even protect the Fifth Fleet headquarters.
The U.S. also can't protect Taiwan.
That's obvious.
Can't protect South Korea.
Force South Korea to pack up and ship over the high-altitude anti-air defense system, the THAD system, as it's called.
Send that over to Israel, I think.
So the U.S. can't protect them either.
The U.S. can't protect the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. can't protect its own shipping vessels, the tankers, because in the last, what, 36 hours, three different ships have been attacked and set on fire by Iranian forces.
Some of those are tankers, of course.
The U.S. simply cannot protect its allies.
And that was one of the main selling points of the U.S., to say, hey, let us put a military base in your country, because if you have a military base, you'll be protected.
We will protect you against an uncertain world.
Turns out, actually, if a U.S. military base is in your country, then you become a target.
That's what Qatar is learning right now.
So here's the upshot of this.
The U.S. is about to be kicked out of the Middle East.
Nearly every one of these nations that previously had a U.S. military base, they are about to change their minds, including Saudi Arabia, by the way.
They're about to change their minds.
Behind the scenes, they've already done that.
But publicly, they're about to change their minds and say to the U.S., no, thank you.
We don't want your military bases here.
We don't need your so-called protection because it doesn't work.
And just as importantly, Taiwan is going to say something similar.
Taiwan, with the Guomintang party, the KMT, which is a pro-mainland Chinese party there, in contrast to the DPP, which is more about Taiwan independence.
But the KMT is currently winning the argument.
And there's a very strong push for Taiwan to simply negotiate a way to join mainland China to have the protection of China because the U.S. can't protect Taiwan.
U.S. can't even protect Qatar.
The U.S. can't even protect its own airplanes, its own navy, its own military bases.
Think about it.
The Iron Dome doesn't work.
Ted Postal, I think is how you say his last name, MIT, engineer, weapons expert for decades, Ted Postal.
He's done a lot of interviews lately.
He says that the actual interception effectiveness of the Patriot missiles or interceptors is at best 5%.
That means 19 out of 20 incoming missiles or more are able to bypass the Patriot missile defense.
Yeah, he's right.
I mean, if you see any of the videos, you see that the interceptors launched from the ground in Tel Aviv, let's say, or from the U.S. military bases, etc., they're not working.
The U.S. doesn't have air interception technology that works against missiles.
Now, it works against aircraft, to be clear, because aircraft typically move much more slowly and are bigger targets, easier to track, etc.
But those systems don't work against incoming missiles.
And Iran has missiles, not aircraft.
Iran has drones.
And the drones are getting through.
And U.S. military radar installations have been obliterated across the entire region.
The U.S. Navy doesn't even dare come close to the Strait of Hormuz because the naval commanders, they know that their vessels will be destroyed.
The USS Abraham Lincoln was already struck.
Yeah, you're not hearing that in the news either.
And then isn't there a story about, oh, the USS Ford just caught on fire, but it wasn't from enemy fire.
It was just a fire.
But don't worry, we put it out.
You know, we're being told all these fake stories by the Pentagon.
The truth is, the U.S. military is obsolete.
It does not work in the way that it has been promised to us.
Air defense doesn't work.
Bombing campaigns don't cause regime change, not in Iran.
The Navy can't secure the Strait of Hormuz.
It just can't do it.
And U.S. artillery that was deployed in Ukraine did not defeat Russia.
U.S. tanks, the Abrams, did not defeat Russia.
The High Mars missiles did not defeat Russia.
None of it works.
None of it works.
And what you realize is that the U.S. military has been a racket of financial fraud.
The military industrial complex functions as a money laundering operation to launder money into the pockets of manufacturers that then they pledge a percentage back to senators and other important members of Congress, etc.
It's a giant money laundering racket.
That's why we fire interceptors that cost $4 million each against an Iranian drone that might cost $25,000.
And even if our interceptor hits the drone, we still lose because we've just blown typically $8 million because we usually fire two because the hit rate is so low.
Yeah.
Do you think that America's ICBM interceptors would work in a nuclear war?
The answer is no.
They wouldn't work either.
So the U.S. has no defense against nuclear war.
Russia has a working defense system.
Russia has, what are they, the SA-400s, whatever they're called?
I don't recall all the numbers, but advanced anti-air defense systems that can also take out low-level satellites as well as ICBMs, as well as aircraft, as well as drones, you name it.
Not with 100% effectiveness, by the way, but with some effectiveness, whereas the U.S. technology has near zero effectiveness at intercepting missiles or ICBMs.
And certainly, U.S. technology can't intercept hypersonic missiles at all.
And we've seen that in Ukraine.
And we've seen that also in Israel lately as well, because Iran is launching occasionally.
It seems to be launching these crazy, insane hypersonic missiles, some of which change direction and rapidly accelerate in the seconds before impact.
I've seen some videos that are just seemingly mind-blowing.
Like, no one is talking about what these weapons really are because we've never seen this before.
Maybe Ted Postel probably is the best expert who is analyzing this video footage.
But I haven't yet heard him talk about those last stage accelerations.
Maybe he will, or maybe he has, and I've missed it.
Anyway, he's a good guy to follow, by the way, if you want to get up to speed on the tech.
So here's the bottom line, is that the illusion of U.S. military dominance has been shattered.
The U.S. cannot protect its allies.
The U.S. cannot protect Israel.
And the U.S. actually, for the last several decades, has functioned only as a bully, a kind of big-talking bully that asserted power through threats and coercion.
And that's Trump.
Trump functions as a gangster.
Pete Hegseth also, a gangster.
And they thought it would work.
They thought if they just made bigger and bigger threats that Iran would surrender.
And what Iran has shown is that if you stand up to the bully, the bully runs out of ammo and their systems don't work and their planes can get shot down and their ships are vulnerable and they're weaker than they look.
Again, this is the first time in history that this has happened.
That is in the history of the United States of America.
This is the first time.
Everything changes from here.
Think about it.
Number one, this emboldens China.
China is watching this and realizing, hey, we don't have to be intimidated by America if it comes to the situation with Taiwan.
America's weak.
The Navy is incompetent.
The Air Force doesn't know what they're doing.
Russia is also paying attention and realizing, if they didn't already, that Russia is 10 to 20 years ahead of the U.S. military in terms of technology.
Way ahead.
You know, Oreshnik missiles, Kinzhal missiles, Iskander missiles, hyperglide vehicles, stealth submarines, you name it.
Electronic warfare, air defense systems.
Russia is more advanced than the U.S. in every one of those areas that I mentioned and many others.
China has over 200 times the shipyard, dockyard, whatever it's called, capacity compared to the United States.
China can produce 200 times more naval vessels per year than the United States.
That's not an exaggeration.
That's where we are.
And China's building a lot of ships now, and they're going to keep building aircraft carriers, etc.
And yeah, China's aircraft carriers that are coming out, they're not as advanced as the USS Ford, but the USS Ford doesn't even have toilets that work.
So for all the billions, what was that?
$12, $13 billion or something that was spent on the USS Gerald R. Ford, and the toilets don't work.
Yeah, I bet you that China's aircraft carrier toilets will actually flush.
I'm just guessing.
Because it's not just some giant money laundering operation.
They're actually building weapons for defense of their nation.
Whereas in America, we have an industry that exists just to launder money around and to pretend that we have systems that work when they largely don't.
So again, this is where history changes.
So the ramifications of this are, of course, enormous.
It means that more and more countries around the world are going to distance themselves from the United States.
This will likely include Taiwan soon.
I would imagine that Taiwan is going to find a way to rejoin with mainland China officially because, well, they need the protection.
They need the opportunity of working with China, which is a country that is positioned toward the future, versus working with America, which is a country of loser leaders that's living in the past.
Japan, similar situation.
Japan is going to have to make a choice.
If Japan wants a future, it's going to have to reject the U.S. military presence there, which would be a huge deal because the U.S. has dominated Japan since the end of World War II and the surrender, 1945.
But if Japan is going to have a future, it needs to invite the U.S. to leave.
Same thing with South Korea.
South Korea realizes it cannot defend itself against North Korea.
North Korea also has nuclear weapons.
And South Korea is just watching jaw-dropping episode of the U.S. pulling equipment out of South Korea that the country needs for its own defense.
Japan Must Choose Future Path00:08:28
So, I mean, look around the world.
Everybody that's a U.S. ally is either being tariffed or sanctioned or bombed.
Well, maybe not everybody, not yet.
Well, is Australia being tariffed?
Yeah, probably.
All of Europe is being tariffed or was.
Taiwan's being hit with Section 301 trade sanctions.
Japan's hit.
India is hit.
Again, if you're a U.S. ally, you know, you're being sanctioned or tariffed or bombed, typically.
And why?
For what benefit?
No benefit.
There's no benefit to be an American ally at this point.
Trump has made sure of that.
Besent has made sure of that.
There's no benefit.
In fact, there's a cost to be a U.S. ally at this point.
This is a reconfiguration of the global geopolitical chessboard.
Many of these countries will start to choose BRICS nations.
They will actively seek out trade protection from China.
China recently announced the elimination of all tariffs from all African nations.
Did you know that?
That's to encourage trade back and forth with Africa.
The U.S. instead runs around the world slapping punitive tariffs on everybody to discourage trade.
More and more these countries will side with China because China wants to build marketplaces.
China wants to engage in trade.
China is very forward-thinking on innovation and technology and automation.
China needs markets, and a lot of these other countries around the world, they need technology.
China now has the technology.
China is the leader in technology across most areas that exist of technology, you know, from robotics and drones and rare earth, minerals extraction, advanced applied materials, etc.
Chemistry, you know, you name it, physics, optics.
China leads in almost everything.
So this is the moment that I've been warning about.
I talked about this really for years.
How many times have I said this is you're watching the end of the American Empire?
And here we are.
Now you see it's abundantly obvious from a military perspective.
The U.S. is losing this war.
The U.S. can't defeat Iran, can't protect its allies, can't secure the Strait of Hormuz, and can't defend Israel, can't defend its own airplanes, can't defend its own Navy, can't defend its own radar installations, can't defend its own Fifth Fleet headquarters, for God's sake.
What can the U.S. defend?
I don't know.
It's not clear that the U.S. can defend anything.
So this is going to accelerate.
This is the pivot point.
This was the worst mistake that Trump could have possibly made.
And this will have ramifications for the American people.
It will make the dollar ultimately collapse as more and more countries abandon the dollar.
Why would you want to hold dollars when the empire backing the dollar is itself obsolete and collapsing?
So things are going to get more expensive for the American people.
Inflation is going to explode.
There will be a lot more money printing.
There will be probably an age of extreme censorship and tyranny from the Trump administration.
We're going to see a lot of domestic chaos, a lot of disarray.
We might not have elections this fall.
Who knows?
Depends on the state of war and what Trump tries to do.
We're going to have probably some domestic uprisings here and there on top of energy shortages, food scarcity, famine in America.
Plus, who knows, elements of civil war in certain areas.
Because some people, I suppose, are going to get so tired of this that they might, for whatever their reasons are, they might decide to do something about it.
Who knows?
I mean, I hope not.
I always call for peace and stability.
I want abundance.
But Trump took all that away from us by launching this war by choice.
He initiated it.
And he initiated it at the command of Israel, not the voters.
Trump doesn't answer to the voters.
He answers to Netanyahu and Israel.
As a result, he sacrificed America and he showed the world that America can't protect its allies, that America is weak.
Economically, currency, trade, education, manufacturing, military, medicine, you name it.
America is weak in almost every area you can think of.
This is the end of the American empire.
And of course, people like you and I will have to survive the collapse and then hopefully help rebuild whatever comes next.
Something hopefully based more on freedom and abundance and honest money like gold and silver with a much smaller government.
But look, the dollar collapse is coming.
And these events in the Middle East are only accelerating the collapse of the dollar.
So the most important thing that you and I can do right now is simply to be prepared.
We can't stop this.
You know, we tried, right?
We tried.
We warned.
Few listened.
So what we can do is get prepared.
And that means you've got to be prepared for food to become more scarce and a lot more expensive, energy scarcity, a lot of economic disruptions on top of the AI job replacements, too.
More chaos, more lawlessness, more authoritarianism and tyranny domestically.
More censorship, for example, and fewer job opportunities.
So it's going to be tough.
But in order to be prepared, you know the drill.
Decentralize as much as you can.
Have backup supplies.
Right now, healthrangerstore.com slash survival.
We have our survival selection there with all of our long-term storable number 10 cans.
Those are steel cans that are sealed containing certified organic, lab-tested, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, most of them American-grown, by the way, and many different formulations, plus our buckets, our ranger buckets, mini buckets, mega buckets, durable, rugged, packed for long-term storage, vacuum-packed into bricks that we call them that go into the buckets.
You'll see, if you get one, you'll be totally blown away by the long-term storage capability that we've built into these.
So, check it all out, healthrangerstore.com/slash survival.
In the meantime, do some gardening, grow some food, get yourself some off-grid medicine.
Don't forget about iodine in case this thing goes nuclear.
Make sure you have all of your own natural medicine, you know, essential oils.
Make sure you've got chlorine dioxide.
Make sure you have colloidal silver.
Make sure you have what, just the basics like hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, sanitizers, etc.
Plus, vitamin C, vitamin D. You know the drill.
Make sure you're squared away on all this stuff because this is going to become a matter of survival, I believe.
By the end of this year, we're going to face more food scarcity and food inflation than anything we've seen for many, many years, maybe anything we've seen in our lifetimes.
It just kind of depends on how long the Strait of Hormuz stays closed.
And right now, we're at just about two weeks.
So, it wouldn't be the end of the world if somehow, you know, peace were negotiated right now and the strait reopened, we could make it through this.
But if it stays closed for two months, three months, oh, oh, man, things start to look very bad with the lack of liquid natural gas, the lack of oil, the lack of sulfur, the lack of urea, the lack of fertilizer.
My God, this world doesn't function without all those things.
You block that strait for two or three months.
Our Western system falls apart.
It collapses.
AI Job Replacement Reality00:12:47
Cascading financial collapse.
So, get ready in every way that you can.
And again, you can support us and also get yourself all stocked up.

Check out more of my videos and analysis at brightvideos.com.
And thank you for watching.
I'm Mike Adams.
Take care.
You're seeing it now.
I mean, the amount of housing defaults, the amount of housing loan defaults, the car defaults, these things are all connected because the money simply doesn't exist.
So people have to have a car, but if they can't have a car, then they don't have a job.
More and more people don't have jobs the more and more civil unrest that occurs.
And I want to point out that we're only nine meals away, anywhere on this globe.
Doesn't matter where.
Nine meals away from civil war.
All right.
Welcome to the interview today.
This is part two with Mitch Vexler, who has been sounding the alarm on the absolutely catastrophic risk of a cascading debt market failure, derivatives market failure, cascading across our Western civilization with devastating effects that could wipe out pensions and much more, affecting hundreds of millions of people in just Western Europe and the United States and Canada alone.
So welcome back, Mitch.
It's always good to have you.
Thanks for staying with us here for part two.
Thank you very much again for allowing me to help get this out and help mom and pop as best we can.
Absolutely.
I'm thrilled to have you on, and I appreciate your courage and your intelligence in the analysis that you offer and trying to wake people up to what's happening.
As I promised at the end of part one, we want to talk about AI job replacement here right now, because we just saw Amazon, I believe, laid off 2,800 people from their Amazon Prime Video department automating all of those jobs with AI.
And we're seeing this across many, many different companies, firing thousands of coders and even getting into some middle manager positions.
And also the so-called AI bubble, which people describe as overinvestment in the AI infrastructure with companies like OpenAI.
Here's my question.
China is about to release DeepSeek version 4.
This is anticipated to be a major breakthrough in AI open source models that can run locally that will be competitive with OpenAI and Google and Microsoft, et cetera, but they're free.
Is it possible, because DeepSeek has a history of shocking the world like they did a year ago with DeepSeek R1?
Is it possible that when DeepSeek is released, if it's seen to be very impressive, that everybody could realize, holy cow, all this investment in US AI infrastructure is not worth it because China's already won this race.
And could that pop the so-called AI bubble?
Is that a factor?
What do you think?
The AI revenue is really interesting because it's virtually non-existent.
It's 1.2% of all capital expenditures spent in building these data centers.
It's virtually non-existent.
And when you get into this idea that, okay, we're going to have AI as an open source, I think we have to dig down a little bit deeper.
So mathematically speaking, the Federal Reserve is supposed to have something that's called Mahalonobis report.
And it's a mathematical formula that says if I pull this lever, X, Y, and Z are going to happen.
If I pull this lever, A, B, and C are going to happen.
It's a fairly short data set.
So if you have data set A, data set B, data set C, data set D, and data set E, five data sets.
And if you're relying to get an answer off of data set A, except in order to feed data set A, you need the other four data sets.
But let's just stick with data set B for a second so I can make the point.
If data set B is corrupted either by human emotion or by lack of programming to determine the correct input, then by definition, data set A is corrupted.
You have this exact same thing playing out, lo and behold, at the central appraisal districts.
What they're calling comparisons are not comparisons.
They're fraud.
You have this exact same thing.
What people say, well, but AI is going to be self-thinking.
Maybe more than likely, no.
And the reason why is no matter how you look at it, it is dependent.
If your output is dependent on the prospect of any one of these data sets having bad programming or inaccurate data, then the answer you get out will be wrong.
And that's part of the problem.
Do you really want somebody relying on AI where you're about to go into surgery?
If you're looking for a cure for cancer and you say, okay, fine, we have all this data and we're going to use AI to correlate this data to help generate an idea, a thesis, amen.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But the problem is when all these entities are saying, well, we're going to be dependent on this and it's going to be worth X dollars, based on what evidence?
The growth revenue right now is 1.2 percent.
Let me adjust the question a little bit here, taking advantage of what you just said there.
I am convinced that AI is very capable because I'm using it for AI development, writing code, and it's very successful in that role in my applications.
But my point is that the cost of AI is just about zero.
So the cost of cognition is just about zero when you're using the open source Chinese models, for example.
And since the cost of cognition is zero, and since there's no revenue model for OpenAI or Google to have to put ads in their AI engines, it just doesn't work, you know, then what revenue is going to justify all of the investment and the borrowing by these AI companies?
The only revenue it seems that they can count on is the Pentagon revenue, U.S. government revenue to build autonomous weapon systems, you know, using, using AI thinking, right?
But Anthropic just sued the Trump administration for being placed on the blacklist because Anthropic doesn't want to build Terminator Skynet extermination machines.
But Google's happy to do that.
So maybe they'll get the government contracts or maybe OpenAI will.
But ultimately, I don't see any revenue that can justify the investment dollars here.
Do you?
No.
No, that's part of the problem.
But the other side is we looked at different AIs and frankly, we figure about 60% of them are biased.
I asked a very simple question just yesterday and AI's response was no answer.
But the question was, what is the percentage of school district bonds as compared to municipal bonds?
The most simple question for an AI response, no answer.
Other times, the biasness comes through.
So not only is there a legitimate revenue demand, and it's not to say that certain programs aren't good.
I'm not saying that.
What I am saying is it's all dependent on how the programming has occurred.
Absolutely.
And this idea of a black box, years ago, there was a company called RealBase in Canada, and I was developing mixed-use, pretty large projects, and I needed RealBase because I had an issue having to do with lease rollovers.
Is that like an off-the-shelf database engine?
It was an off-the-shelf solution, kind of like an Excel spreadsheet.
But then I get my hands on it, and I realize, well, it really isn't very good at lease rollovers, and it certainly can't handle multiple buildings on one large project.
So I worked with them in order to fix their problems.
They ended up getting bought out by an accounting company, and the accounting company shut them down because they didn't want the competition.
I come to the United States and I find a company called Argus doing the same thing as RealBase.
Lo and behold, Argus has the exact same problem.
So I call them up, said, look, this is what I need.
They recognize the problem.
I worked with them and I used that program for several years.
But as time progressed, I realized that I now need a waterfall.
I need a better, more powerful solution to the waterfall of profits.
They didn't have it.
So I went right back to my original spreadsheet program with my accountant and we rebuilt the thing, including the waterfall.
The advantage of doing that is that I know that this is not a black box.
I know what's in those cells.
I can trace those cells.
That's right.
It's programmatic.
Right.
It's traceable.
You can't do that with AI.
That's right.
You don't know what's under the hood.
That's right.
100%.
And we know that they're being programmed by, well, let me add this.
I've done extensive testing on AI models just like you have with bias detection and so on.
The U.S. models are the most biased.
They have the most guardrails.
They have the most refusals.
And for example, Alibaba's engines called Quinn, they just released their new version 3.5, a whole series of different size models like last week.
And the models are very capable, very good, and also very free, right?
So if you're a corporation and you need to do something internally like automate customer service email responses, that's something that can be automated relatively reliably and quickly for about 90% of the emails.
Why would you use OpenAI and pay per token when you can download Quenn for free and install it on a workstation for less than 10 grand and it's going to power your customer service system?
You know what I mean?
It's like there's no economic model for US AI companies, and yet they're taking on billions of dollars in investment and loans from even from companies like Amazon and investment houses.
I don't see that those investments are ever going to pan out.
I just don't see it.
I think it's a little bit worse than that because when you add in the data centers themselves in Abilene, Texas is Stargate.
Stargate initial cost, the budget, 500 billion.
Right now, today, somewhere around 875 billion.
I don't know if this is true, but here's the underlying point.
You're talking trillions of dollars worth of data centers for which there is no revenue stream.
So what's going to be the ultimate comeback?
Well, we, the developers who built these data centers that are utilitarian by nature, meaning there is no inherent value in them.
They've got their one purpose.
We're going to have to go to the U.S. government and hold our hand out for a bailout.
Right.
Which OpenAI is already hinting.
They're going to ask for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mitch, I've got something very special to show you here.
Okay.
This is this is a blast from the past.
All right.
I might be the only person that has this.
An original mint set of Lotus 123 floppy disks on five and a quarter floppy disks.
Look at that.
Zoom in on that.
Lotus one, two, three, folks.
There you go on floppy disk.
Half our audience doesn't even know what that is.
That's pretty good.
I'm telling you.
So you talk about like the history of finance and spreadsheets.
This was the original one.
This was in the 1980s.
And these floppy disks cost like $600 in the 80s.
And then today, like you said, it's a black box.
So we don't know what's going to happen.
But we do know, Mitch, getting back to what you mentioned in part one, we do know that jobs are being replaced by some level of automation in certain areas, like customer service, let's say.
So that seems like it's going to be a feedback loop of cascading job losses because then those people lose their discretionary income.
They reduce their purchases of goods and services from other corporations that then have lower revenues and they have to make cuts.
Cascading Financial Collapse Vortex00:14:27
And so they tend to cut, et cetera.
Ultimately, this ends up in a very bad place where how does our modern economy function if we hit 25% job replacements in the white-collar jobs, let's say?
It doesn't.
It will implode.
And it'll implode based on, I actually wrote a few weeks ago a model on socialist policies.
So it doesn't mean anything.
It's just my math and just formulas.
But the bottom line is when you take money from somebody who earned it and you transfer it to somebody who didn't earn it and you take a fee in the middle, that is socialism.
That is a socialist policy as distinct from a social policy.
A social policy would be, we don't want hunger in our community.
We're going to eradicate it.
That's a social policy.
That's good.
A socialist policy says we're going to take your money to pay for it.
And we that are creating this law in the middle are going to get paid.
That's a socialist policy.
The point of the matter is what you end up with is civil war.
And this has happened throughout society.
You cannot steal money from the population and think you are untouchable.
That will not happen.
People have to have a reason to get up in the morning.
People like to go to work.
People like to be able to feed their family.
But when you equity strip them, which is what's happening with regard to the property taxes, everybody's got most people an amortization schedule on your house.
And every year you get principal back on your amortization schedule.
However, every year your property taxes are going up to cover off the bond fraud.
Ergo, you're being equity stripped while you sleep.
The money doesn't exist to allow this to happen.
How are people going to retire if they don't end up owning the house that they've been spending 30 years paying off?
All that money has been transferred out in the form of property tax.
So this is just another massive looting scheme to pillage the people.
100%.
And concentrate money in these two items, right?
These two items being the equity stripping and what's happening with AI.
It's the kiss of death.
Those two items could be exactly what creates the crisis of confidence.
Because in all the gigabytes worth of data that we have, all the criminal complaints, all the filings, not a single person, not a single entity has said, you're wrong.
Here's how you're wrong.
They can't do it because the math is just simple math.
And my comeback would be, fine, here's a pen and a piece of paper.
You explain to me how an $80,000 average income is going to pay a $257,000 second mortgage that that property owner doesn't even know exists in the form of compound cumulative school district bond fraud.
Here's a pen and a piece of paper.
Nobody can do it.
No, and speaking of that, no one also has an answer for this question, which is, as you know, the AI data centers are causing local electricity prices to rise dramatically, especially for the Eastern states, the 13 states that are on the Eastern grid.
Trump, I believe, extracted a pledge from the tech companies recently where they said, well, we pledge that when we build our data centers, it won't raise your electricity prices.
Okay, great.
That's a pledge.
Tell me how that works because just you saying that doesn't make it happen.
Tell me, how does that work?
It's just, you know what I mean?
It's just a pledge.
It doesn't, where are the economics behind it?
If you're using more data, they're going to have to build out more infrastructure.
They're going to charge that to all of the electricity customers, and that includes residential customers.
You see what I mean?
It's worse.
So the electric companies don't charge based on what they're spending.
There's no transparency.
And that's just like the insurance companies.
See, what insurance companies are doing now is saying, okay, we have to hedge this risk, not having anything to do with the property department itself.
We have other problems such as derivatives.
Therefore, we have to increase the amount of money, our revenue, to cover our flow.
So what do they do?
Well, they just simply say, okay, we're going to increase the insurance cost from 2% to 4%.
But the actual risk is only the probability of getting hit on an insurance claim is only 15%.
So they've actually gone 10X to cover off their derivatives on other items that have nothing to do with real estate.
You have that exact same problem with regard to the electric companies.
They'll tell you, well, we're going to have to fix this infrastructure and that infrastructure.
Okay, great.
And where's the performa?
Where's the budget?
Please explain to me exactly.
We're right back to the same problem.
The median household income for a family of four is living off of credit cards, they're short $20,000.
The average utility housing expense and maintenance for an average house is like $10,900 and some odd dollars.
Okay.
And they're $20,000 upside down after all the expenses.
So if you've got, let's call it $11,000 and you're still upside down, where is the money going to come from to cover off the utility company?
You can't get blood out of a stone.
That's the point.
So as all of this begins to unravel, I want to ask you, well, first of all, let me give out your website again, mockingbirdproperties.com slash DCAD.
That's D-C-A-D, where people can find your materials involving largely the property tax fraud and confiscation of equity from property holders county by county.
But if this begins to really unravel, what are the first signs that we will notice?
You're seeing it now.
I mean, the amount of housing defaults, the amount of housing loan defaults, the car defaults, these things are all connected because the money simply doesn't exist.
So people have to have a car, but if they can't have a car, then they don't have a job.
More and more people don't have jobs, the more and more civil unrest that occurs.
And I want to point out that we're only nine meals away anywhere on this globe, doesn't matter where, nine meals away from civil war.
These problems that have been created are causing people not to eat.
And that's here in Texas as well.
Harvest food, which is here in Texas, feeds over 4 million meals at one entity alone here in Texas.
Many of those people don't have houses.
They don't have a roof over their head.
Many of those people are living in cars.
As I've said, you cannot steal people's money and think you will not be held accountable.
These things have solutions, but in order to get to the solution, one must admit the truth.
And that's what we have asked the Supreme Court here in Texas to say, look, prove us wrong.
It's real simple.
So let's assume that the courts will never side with rationality on this because that's a pretty reliable conclusion.
Let's assume that this only gets worse and that at the state and federal level, the governments just try to paper over this, cover it up and deny it.
What does America look like a year from now or two years from now or by 2030?
About 40 days ago, looking at the charts as a chartist, I had figured out that NASDAQ was going to hit about 24,000.
It bounced off of it to the tick yesterday.
The problem is that the PE ratios on average right now today are still at 43.
And if you wanted to stretch it, the price to earnings ratios legitimately should be around 16 or 15.
That's if you want to stretch it.
We have a long way to go to the downside.
And any one of these items can force us to go to the downside the second a true crisis of confidence kicks in.
Now, it'll be some big firm that gets smacked over the head because their derivatives exposure is so great, they get taken down.
And that's the start of the big snowball going downhill.
And it'll just gain steam.
If the market has to make the decision for the government, things get bad real fast.
If the government steps in and says, we recognize the problem, and this is how we're going to deal with it, then there is a hybrid where a good chunk of these problems can be made to go away, i.e., the bond fraud is quantifiable.
The derivatives, on the other hand, I actually believe that even the U.S. government can't track this stuff.
Allegedly, there's 600 trillion worth of derivatives floating around out there with a real notional value of somewhere around 20 trillion.
The cross-collateralization and the unwind, if they don't get involved and try to let this go on its own, it'll blow, but not just in the United States.
That's the underlying point.
It will blow globally.
And I believe there's an opportunity here to work with the other countries that bid off on the same garbage that our Federal Reserve has been selling.
The Federal Reserve exists to backstop the banks.
It doesn't exist for the benefit of mom and pop.
Well, other countries copy that exact same model.
And the problem is, on one hand, and good news on the other hand, other countries are in it up to their eyeballs, just like the United States.
Therefore, how is this for an idea?
Let's globally figure out exactly how big this debt load is and start cross-collateralizing the undo of these derivatives.
Because from country to country, you can track it.
All these countries that have weakened their currency, well, i.e. China, China's got the same problem.
Their debt to GDP is hovering around 300.
We're 128.
So it makes us look good.
But in truth, yeah, neither was good.
They're both bad.
So let's undo it simultaneously because it's a target.
We can hit the target.
We can quantify it.
But you can't do that if you can't articulate it.
But okay, yeah, what you say makes sense, but we can count on governments of the world not doing anything that makes sense because they would have to give up some amount of power and control probably in order to do anything rational.
So what should the people watching this do to prepare for the total unraveling of this?
Whether it happens in 2027 or 2030 or whatever, what's the best defense?
No debt, number one.
Number two, hard assets.
So coincidentally, 19, let's see, 2007, 2008, I had a loan at a bank, and that banker called me and said, you know, the bank's got some trouble.
So me being out of Canada, not necessarily understanding exactly what he said, I called my attorney and my attorney said, where are you?
I said, I'm over here at the office.
He said, I'm coming to get you.
Get Catherine, get a checkbook.
I said, okay, fine.
So, you know, we got a checkbook.
We went down.
We saw the banker.
I bought the note back.
The following morning, the FDIC walks in and seizes the bank.
Whoa.
Had I have not had the cash and the ability to pay off that mortgage, even though it turns out I was worth more than the bank, but had I not had that cash, my loan would have been tainted, even though it was solid.
But payments were always made, no problem.
But the second the FDIC walks in and seizes something, you're tainted.
So by the skin of my teeth, I get out of this mess.
Can you imagine the unwind and the damage to mom and pop when they have no idea how to handle any of this?
They don't have the infrastructure.
They don't have the attorneys.
They don't have the accounting.
Yet the debt is owed.
So they get dragged into a vortex with no cash on the side, no emergency money to be able to get themselves out of this mess.
First thing.
Second thing is, what are you going to do if the bank, your particular bank, not all of them, but your particular bank shuts down and says we're bankrupt.
So we're going to seize your cash and hand you back a share in our bankrupt bank.
As time has progressed, these problems are floating to the surface.
That's what you're seeing in BlackRock right now.
It's the exact same thing.
Well, we're just not going to give you back your money until we decide it's okay.
And when's that going to be?
We don't know.
I mean, that's a bail-in.
That's effectively a bail-in.
Yep.
So what you're saying is perhaps bail-ins will occur across more commercial banks.
And I mean, in the United States.
Everywhere.
So if you're JP Morgan and JP Morgan decides to do a bail-in or you're Wells Fargo and they decide to do a bail-in, not that they will, but just follow me for a second.
Look at how many millions of people are affected because they can't get their cash out of the bank.
Right.
So the point is, having cash on the side outside of the bank, having precious metals outside of the bank, not having any debt that you can't get out of is the way to go.
And then you don't get dragged into this vortex.
But clearly, everybody must admit that that vortex exists today.
Loans are defaulting.
Car loans are defaulting.
House loans are defaulting.
Student loans are defaulting.
Loan Defaults and Social Uprisings00:02:48
These things are all real.
That's the vortex.
And these people can't get out of this.
Give or take, 42 million households across the United States are in harm's way of bankruptcy and are losing the roof over their head.
This is serious numbers, all because they're upside down, anywhere between 9,000 and 20,000 per household.
But do you realize out of that $9,000, $7,000 of which is property tax?
So the only thing stopping these people from going broke right now today is $9,000, of which $7,000 is property tax.
You want people not to go broke?
Get rid of the property tax.
Kill off the bonds.
If that's what you have to do, that's what you do.
Job one, you protect mom and pop.
Nobody gives a damn about the bondholders, even though mom and pop are part of the bondholders.
But what would you rather have, mom and pop?
Would you rather have 100% ownership and no taxes on your property or be stuck in bonds that are probably worth somewhere around 13 cents on the dollar to trade off and get your house, own your property?
And if your society doesn't consist of people who own their own homes, then you're in trouble.
You know, just as a society, you're going to have uprisings and so on, like you said.
So, Mitch, we're almost at the end here of part two.
And I just have a curious question for you on a different topic.
You speak almost without error, which is very unusual for humans.
And some people might think that you are an AI avatar because you speak with perfection, right?
So I'm just wondering, have you seen any AI avatar copies of you?
Because I've seen it of many people online, AI copies of like, what's his name, Professor Jiang or Colonel Douglas McGregor or David Morgan?
He's had AI avatar clones of him, not with his permission.
But has that happened to you?
No, but if something like that showed up, I guess I'd have to start speaking in Canadian, eh?
Throw them off the track.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You'd have to start like introducing hesitation errors or something into your speech just to be a little more human.
Well, Mitch, I would imagine just watch out for the Mitch Vexler AI clones that they will clone your voice and your face and they will have the clone say something that you didn't say, maybe even something you disagree with.
So, you know, be aware of that.
That's coming.
It's happened to a lot of people that I've interviewed.
Yeah.
One would hope not.
I mean, the reality is these topics are pretty deep and they're pretty tough, but we do what we do to warn mom and pop this is an extreme probability.
It's just the mass.
The median household income doesn't exist.
Mom and pop are feeling it every day.
They see the inflation.
Nuclear Survival Supplies Guide00:03:57
They go to the grocery store.
It gets complex when you understand that you're being defrauded by your school district and by your central appraisal district.
And there is no CAD in the United States that is obtaining money on behalf of its school districts that is not defrauding their constituents.
None.
Okay, well, we'll wrap it up there.
Thank you so much, Mitch.
It's always good to have you on.
And again, mockingbirdproperties.com/slash DCAD is the website.
And thank you so much, Mitch, for spending time with us today as a real human being.
We appreciate you very much.
And for those of you who missed part one of this interview, part one is available at brightvideos.com.
So thank you all for watching today.
Thank you, Mitch.
And until next time, take care.
Great.
Thank you.
Yes, the world is getting crazy, but here at the Health Ranger store, we're putting together a survival supply assortment for you.
If you go to healthrangerstore.com/slash survival, you'll see what we put together for you, including iodine and IOSAT.
That's a specific brand name of potassium iodide that's FDA approved.
Or we have the nascent iodine here, which is less expensive in terms of the iodine that you get.
These are available in case things go nuclear.
It's clear that you will not be able to find any of this for sale anywhere.
All the inventories will be wiped out like what happened after Fukushima in 2011.
So if you want to get your hands on some iodine, this is a chance to get it right now.
Healthrangerstore.com/slash survival.
In addition, we have many other survival items for you here, including some silver solutions, some spirulina available in bulk and at a discount, and then a large assortment of storable organic food that's laboratory tested, including our Ranger bucket sets.
Here's a 195-day supply.
We've got the mini buckets, and we've also got number 10 cans available of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and other things like miso soup powder.
Here's some of the buckets.
There's a big variety available.
Here are some of the number 10 cans right here.
Remember, a lot of people are missing fruit.
They don't have enough vitamin C in their storable food.
So, you know, getting bananas and pineapples and strawberries, especially, again, certified organic, freeze-dried.
That is the highest quality with the highest nutrient preservation that you can get in any kind of storable food format.
All of this is available right now and so much more.
Just go to healthrangerstore.com/slash survival.
And because the freeze-dried foods last for so long, you know, even if you don't eat them this year or next year, just keep them on the shelf.
They're going to last a very long time with good preservation, a long shelf life, and they will have value no matter what happens in the world.
Now, of course, I'm praying for peace.
I'm praying for de-escalation.
I don't want to see World War III break out, and I certainly don't want it to go nuclear.
But we're dealing with insane times and insane leaders and insane situations.
Who knows what could happen tomorrow or next week?
Disruptions could happen here in the United States.
There could be domestic attacks that disrupt supply chains here in the U.S.
