Mike Adams and Cyrus Jansen critique the U.S. slide into economic communism, citing $120 oil prices, Spirit Airlines bailouts, and a 2027 biometric vehicle tracking law that bans superior Chinese EVs like BYD. They argue globalists are intentionally "nerfing" AI models to prevent decentralized problem-solving while promoting China's safe, high-speed rail infrastructure. Adams warns of a depopulation agenda involving food fraud and urges self-reliance via heirloom seeds and open-source tools, contrasting American surveillance with Chinese freedom.

Oil Hits $120 Per Barrel00:04:46
All right, welcome to Bright Video's news for Thursday, April 30th, 2026, the last day of April.
My goodness.
Oil is now over $120 a barrel spot.
That's the paper price, yes, $120 a barrel.
That's Brent crude.
The actual physical price is much higher than that, at least $30 to $40 a barrel higher.
So it's going to get crazier because we are now in the third month of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
That is the third month of Trump's war of choice against Iran.
There you go.
I've got a special report here.
Well, a couple of them.
One on AI technology.
I've got one on the food supply breakdown where we ordered our store.
We ordered 20 pallets of one particular kind of food, and it showed up, and it was pallets of bags filled with rocks.
I mean, small rocks, pebbles mixed in with the crop.
And it's a whole crazy story about that.
And it was certified organic, too.
I have organic gravel.
Hey, you want some?
It's also glyphosate free.
That is a crazy story, and it just shows you what's happening to the collapse of our system.
Also, I've got an interview here coming up today.
I think I'll play this today with Cyrus Jansen, who lives in China much of the year or part of the year, and he also speaks fluent.
Mandarin Chinese, and you know, because he's lived there for 10 years, so he and I had a great conversation about what's happening with sort of the downfall of the West because he lives in America part time too.
He's an American, but then what China is doing that is just taking the lead in so many areas of innovation like AI and robotics and battery technology and EV manufacturing is wild.
Do you know in China now something between 50 and 60 percent of all the cars on the road in China are electric cars?
Did you know that?
And they're dirt cheap, too.
A car that would cost like $60,000 here in America, in China, it's $20,000.
You know, seriously, it's like a third of the price.
And in many ways, it's better.
And they have, you know, state of the art battery technology.
It's amazing.
Of course, there are some things I don't like about China, like, you know, vaccine mandates.
But we had that pushed in America, too, right?
So, anyway, I am still, of course, studying Chinese.
And it's so funny because I.
I like to review Chinese language, you know, because I'm always trying to expand my vocabulary.
And since I'm not really speaking Chinese every day to, you know, regular people, because I don't live in Taiwan or China, I have to brush up with courses.
And almost all the courses are focused on mainland China Chinese.
And they give you examples of, like, tourist attractions in mainland China.
And in many ways, it's very different from the kind of Chinese that I learned.
Living in Taiwan, not just the pronunciation, but some of the word choices are different too.
But it's so funny because in the courses, you'll get questions like tourist kind of questions like, hey, have you visited Tiananmen Square yet?
You know, it's like, oh, that's funny, you know, because that's in the mainland China course.
In Chinese, that's what is it?
So, Tian'anmen is how you say it in Chinese.
We say Tiananmen.
But it's actually three words.
It's Tian'anmen, Men Bing Duo, it turns out.
So, it's kind of like the gateway to a heavenly place, I think, is really what that means.
Tian'anmen.
But that's not the way the West thinks of Tiananmen Square.
They think of it like tanks running over protesters or whatever.
But then again, in America, our ICE agents.
Shoot protesters on the streets of Minneapolis.
So, you know, hey, we have problems too.
Didn't Trump say he had to bomb Iran because they were threatening or they did kill their protesters?
And then Trump's own ICE kills protesters in America.
Bypassing Driving Restrictions00:07:24
And he's like, that's okay when we do it.
You know, when we do it.
Anyway, should be an interesting interview with Cyrus Jansen coming up.
Also, want to mention this automobile.
Kill switch nonsense where apparently this is law now, or I'm not sure if it's been signed by the president, but it's about to be law.
And Thomas Massey tried to defeat this, but most of the GOP voted for this, by the way.
And it's this automatic AI detection system that when you get in a car before you can start the car or before you can put it in drive, this AI system analyzes your face and your body movements and you know your mood and whether you're stable.
Whether you're erratic or something, you know.
And if it decides through its mysterious AI code that you are not fit to drive, then it won't let you drive.
And this is going to be in every vehicle sold in 2027 and beyond in the United States of America.
So, of course, you and I are either not going to buy vehicles made in America beginning in 2027, just screw it.
Or we're going to hack the crap out of this AI detection system.
You know, we're going to have like, you know, inflatable driver Dan sit there until it gives approval and then kick Dan over to the passenger seat and step in and start driving.
You know what I mean?
We're going to find a way to bypass this thing.
Somebody's going to sell an inflatable driver Dan, who I think actually also already exists as a product.
That allows Californians to use the carpool lane.
Right?
But anyway, here's a video that was put out by a user on X called Gatlin Didier.
Didier, yeah, Didier.
Anyway, Gatlin Didier that is mocking this whole thing.
It's pretty funny, actually.
And it's called When a Tornado Hits in 2027.
So take a look at this video.
Baddie, it's looking good.
Granny, we gotta go.
You think?
Are you ready?
Come on!
Let's go!
Come on, come on, come on!
Due to elevated heart rate, high stress levels, and panic indicators, you're not fit to operate this vehicle.
What?
There's a tornado!
Have you tried calming down?
Daryl, it's getting bigger!
Start the truck!
Let's begin a breathing exercise.
Inhale, exhale.
I'm not breathing right now!
Daryl, do something!
I'm trying!
Analyzing driver conditions.
I've determined.
I knew what you'd have determined, but you're wrong!
I am never wrong.
Whose bright idea was this?
Your government.
Granny, I have a feeling we're not in America anymore.
Uh oh.
Somewhere over the rainbow.
All right, there you go.
Great job to Gatlin Didier and his, is that his mom, I'm guessing, perhaps?
Anyway, great job.
Actually, very, very nicely done.
And you got the point across, and you're absolutely right.
What if you've been injured?
What if you've been in a fight, maybe a carjacking or something, or someone beat you up in the parking lot and you're trying to get away?
And so, of course, you're frazzled.
Well, the car is going to decide that you can't drive.
So what are you buying a car for then?
If you don't own it, I mean, if you can't drive it, you don't own it.
Okay?
If you can't drive it, you don't own it.
I am not going to buy a car that is going to make up its own mind whether I'm fit to drive based on some criteria that was decided by the federal government, the same entity that's run by freaking pedophiles.
Okay, no thank you.
I'm not going to do it.
So, to all the car companies out there Ford, who I already hate anyway, GM, Toyota, Hyundai like all of you car companies that are selling cars in America yeah, they can rot on the lot because I am not going to buy a car that spies on me and decides I can't drive it.
No thank you.
Uh uh.
Not going to happen.
I don't care if I have to end up riding a bicycle or a freaking moped.
At least I'll have transportation that doesn't say no and starts arguing with me.
It's unreal.
In reality, the car that I want is probably made in China.
I want an EV, SUV.
That's what I want.
Seriously.
Like a big-ass car so I can haul stuff in it.
Plus, my dog, whatever else I have going on.
I want an EV SUV at this point, and nobody has one in America.
They don't exist, only in China.
But you can't buy it from China because it's illegal because of U.S. customs.
Oh, you can't import from China.
Why?
Oh, because we have to protect the crappy American car companies so that they can spy on you instead of.
China spying on you, you know.
So, we are no longer living, obviously, in a free country at all.
And, um, I don't know.
Will somebody make like a DIY car kit or something?
Like you put it together.
You know how they sell these, um, like ultralight airplane kits that you can buy?
I'm not recommending you do it if you want to live, but you can buy an ultralight kit or, you know, like a paraglider kit, you know, and you can assemble it in your garage and then you can.
Go out and kamikaze yourself in a park one day, but at least you can still legally buy that.
What about can I buy a car kit, especially like an EV car?
You know, they ship the battery and then you got the wheels, you know, just put that sucker together without the AI overlay.
How about that?
That's there might be a market for that.
If somebody does that, man, I want to be an affiliate of that.
In fact, I would like to be an affiliate of a company that makes appliances that don't suck.
How about that?
Like a clothes washing machine that doesn't break in 18 months, or a refrigerator that lasts more than two years, and a refrigerator that doesn't talk to the internet and monitor all your food.
You know, I mean, is it too much to ask to just have appliances that work the way they used to?
You could buy a refrigerator in 1972, it's still running today because they made them like tanks back then.
The Three Second Video Market00:02:36
Or sewing machines.
They made them like tanks.
Now it's all plastic.
You know, it's all everything just breaks down.
You just leave your sewing machine in the sunlight, you know, by a window, and after a couple of years, the sun broke it down, man.
What?
Really?
What is this?
They're not planning for humans to be around that long, actually, as you can tell, because everything breaks down into landfill, including the humans, because of the human composting movement.
So there you go.
All right, there's something else going on.
I got to mention this before we get to today's reports, and that is I mentioned this the other day that my friend was offered a special VIP channel on Facebook to produce short form content.
That is, it has to be under one minute, and apparently the producers over there at Facebook were encouraging him to produce segments that were 30 seconds, 15 seconds, even 50.
Five seconds, and today he sent me this.
He sent me a little screenshot report that Facebook had sent him.
It's a report of how many three second video views he got, and it's thousands.
It's thousands.
I mean, it's over 10,000 reach of a three second video.
Like, three second video.
What are you doing in three seconds, man?
What are you?
And he's laughing about it too.
He's like, What am I going to do in three seconds?
What do you do?
Just like you hit record, you go, yeah.
I mean, what do you do in three seconds that educates anybody?
Have we become a three second society with a three second attention span?
And the answer is yes, yes, we have for the most part.
That's why I appreciate you because you're willing to listen to things that go like a couple of hours sometimes, you know, depending on your schedule.
How important it is, or who I'm interviewing, or whatever, but I'm never doing anything that's three seconds, or ten seconds, or even one minute.
I've got stuff to say that doesn't fit in one minute.
It takes longer than one minute.
All right, I'm going to end this segment with a radical idea.
Protecting Your Brain From Attacks00:11:40
What if the reason your brain is being poisoned?
With pesticides and herbicides and fluoride and chemtrails and plasticizer chemicals and estrogen mimickers and disruptors and blue light.
What if the reason, oh, and MSG and excitotoxins and aspartame and all that garbage?
What if the reason your brain is being attacked is because that makes you more vulnerable to what's the right way to say this to being MK ultrid?
With remote control.
Let's keep it simple.
Remote control.
The attacks on your neurology make you vulnerable to a lot of things, but the radical theory is that it's also making you vulnerable to being taken over by other priorities, other entities, other dimensional beings, possibly depending on how far you want to go down the rabbit hole.
So I'll leave you with that thought, is that part of this, and is it also why those of us who have really great nutrition that is neuroprotective, Turmeric, vitamin D, sulforaphane from broccoli and cruciferous vegetables and sprouts, even vitamin E for that matter.
But there are so many neuroprotective substances.
In fact, gosh, I have a whole report on vitamin E I got to cover.
There's an amazing thing about vitamin E and brain health, but I'll do that another day.
What if the reason that people like you and I look at the world and we're like, everybody's crazy?
Everything's gone nuts is because.
We actually have the brain protection.
We have the nutritional-based brain protection that prevents sort of the influence or the takeover or the infestation, maybe you could call it, that a lot of other people are more susceptible to.
And there's actually a scientific basis for this.
And I've covered this paper before, which is that if you have more melatonin in your skin than these melatonin-like structures, and this has been shown, again, in a science paper that's published, They block 99.999%, I forgot the exact number.
It blocks almost 100% of 5G.
5G radiation has a hard time getting into your body if you have a tan or if you naturally have dark skin or olive skin, you know, just anything darker than white.
So, and this is true, this is a published fact.
It's wild.
But not only does darker skin help protect you from 5G signals, but then also I would argue that the nutritional component also protects you, protects your brain in particular.
Now, from the superhero perspective, remember how, what was his name?
Magneto, the X Men superhero who could move anything made of steel with his mind, but he had to wear a giant helmet to prevent.
Charles Xavier, or Professor X, from manipulating his mind.
So the helmet protected him from the psychic attack of Professor X.
Well, I think that nutrition is the helmet.
That good nutrition, and also I think reasonable sunlight exposure, etc., protects you from psychic attacks, spiritual attacks, other kinds, you know, radiological, or I'm sorry, electromagnetic, let's say, attacks.
Things like that.
I think that's actually real.
So I'll just leave you with that thought, something to ponder.
Does nutrition protect your brain from being infested and influenced by outside forces?
And is this why so many people who live on junk food seem to be NPCs?
Like they're droned out all the time.
They're no longer, they don't seem human or something.
They don't, like they've lost the thing that makes them human.
Or they become bizarre creatures of agenda followers or obedience cultists or something.
Have you seen that happen to people?
Yeah, it's usually people that live on junk food, isn't it?
And people that take a lot of jabs, too, a lot of flu shots and vaccines and junk food and a lot of medications.
They're the ones.
It's always the case.
At least that's what I've noticed.
But I encourage you to look around and see if that's what you notice, too.
Pretty wild.
What if nutrition can not just save your health, but save your mind from psychic attack, huh?
Yeah, think about that.
Well, that would be a claim that the FDA would not allow.
It's like, put that claim on a bottle of turmeric.
Protects your brain from psychic attack, you know?
That would be hilarious if somebody did that.
But anyway, something to think about.
Nevertheless, enjoy today's broadcast.
You know, Our sponsor is a satellite phone store today, and they have Faraday bags that's kind of the same thing.
Like a Faraday bag protects the contents from electromagnetic radiation, EMP, solar flare pulses, et cetera.
They're called dark bags.
So if you go to their website, sat123.com, then you can see the dark bags there.
Not only do they have the satellite phones, but they've got the dark bags.
Well, what if nutrition is like a dark bag for your brain?
Because you wouldn't want to walk around pulling an actual bag over your head all day, probably.
That would be hilarious.
It would make it difficult to drive.
Or at least you would drive no worse than the illegals that already drive in Texas who seem to be blind on any given day.
Anyway, but I'm not recommending you do that.
But what if nutrition is like a dark bag protection layer for your brain?
We should look into that because I think there's something to it.
All right.
Thank you for listening.
Enjoy the rest of today's broadcast.

Pesticide Free Gravel Peas00:15:04
You know, it sounds silly, but I actually enjoy watching one of my workstations here that has the screen running my book cover translation tasks, which I wrote the code for that.
Well, I vibe coded the code for that over the weekend.
And so, you know, we have 53,000 books that have been published at brightlearn.ai, and they're all free, and they're amazing, and they're all well researched and cited, by the way.
And I needed to start producing the Spanish translations of those books.
And it turns out that with today's AI technology, producing the actual chapter text translation is easy.
You just send the text to an AI engine and say, you know, translate it into Spanish, and that's it, and it's done.
But for the book cover, it's very, very difficult.
So I already mentioned this in a previous podcast, but I wrote the code, and now it's doing all the Spanish covers.
And it can only do like 100 a day or something like that.
It's not blazing fast, but it's working.
And when I look at that screen, I have a sense of actually doing something that matters for this world.
As simple as that task is, it's like, you know what?
I got a book.
I translated it into Spanish and I'm giving it away to Spanish speakers for free.
I don't even know who they are, wherever they are, all over the world, in Mexico or Ecuador or Peru or wherever, or Spain, I guess, or anywhere, because there's Spanish speakers everywhere.
Wherever they are, they can have these books and they can look at the cover.
And it's in Espanol, you know?
And I'm like, of all the things that I do in the world or that you do, or all the different activism that we are often engaged in and how we're trying in good faith to make a difference in the world, these book covers are one thing that I can look at and say, done.
That's done.
Whereas a lot of other efforts, you know, a lot of efforts like trying to teach people about the supply chain of Oil or helium or sulfur, everything having to do with the Middle East right now.
You try to teach people about those kinds of things, and it's like talking to a brick wall sometimes, it seems.
You probably know what I'm talking about because you've had these kinds of experiences with people too.
You're like telling somebody about Austrian economics, and they're like, I like money, you know, from idiocracy.
And like, oh my God, what kind of world do we live in?
Well, I'll tell you what kind of world we live in.
We live in a world that's collapsing.
Our world.
Is collapsing.
And today I saw a bunch of articles and a bunch of posts on social media, and people were breathlessly warning that, oh my God, the wait time for purchasing gas turbines is now all the way to the year 2030.
And I'm like, yeah, I covered that with my listeners months ago.
Last year we covered that.
I think it was maybe, I don't know, September or something.
Remember?
We're talking about that.
I was talking about the power grid.
I was talking about the transformers.
You can't get them because they're all out of stock.
Remember that?
I was talking about the gas turbines.
You can't get them because the wait time is actually up to 10 years out for some of the larger gas turbines.
So that's all the way to 2036, roughly, at the moment.
Anyway, apparently, sort of the mainstream people just now figured this out.
Like, oh my God, gas turbines.
Like, um,.
Me and my crew, we've been taking action.
We've been planning for that for a long time here, like more than six months.
So, you know, you try to warn people.
You try to help people in good faith.
Like, get ready.
This stuff is coming.
And then, you know, half of the mainstream people are like, oh, you're just a domer.
Just stop being a domer.
I don't want to hear dome.
I want to hear inspiration.
Right?
Okay, you want inspiration?
Gas turbines can appear magically.
Shazam.
How's that for?
Enthusiasm and optimism.
Yeah, the problem is it's not real, but hey, you know, to the average person out there, you can live in a dream world for as long as you want.
You can even pretend that fuel prices are dropping when what actually happened all across America, perhaps you have noticed this as well, is that in the last day or two, prices went up like 70 cents a gallon, 80 cents a gallon, 90 cents a gallon, but there's still some people like, it's so low, it's only $2.
It's like, are you dyslexic and you read the fives backwards?
Because that's a five.
It's not a two.
I'm sorry to make fun of your learning disabilities, but gas is over $5 in a lot of places.
So if we can't read integers, we're in trouble as a nation.
So we're actually living in the collapse of Western civilization.
Oh, by the way, Happy Mother's Day.
I don't mean that satirically, I mean that genuinely.
Happy Mother's Day.
At least we can celebrate the fact that we still have moms, right?
We all have moms.
Maybe they're not all with us at the moment, but we.
They were with us, and even if they're gone, their spirits are with us.
So happy Mother's Day.
I did just want to say that, especially to all of you listening who are moms.
Thank you.
Thank you for being the moms and for saving your kids' life like a thousand times when they were toddlers and were face planting, diving off the concrete stairs or whatever.
You stuck your arm out.
Shoo, I caught you.
Just save your teeth, you know.
Thank you, moms, for being super moms and making it all work.
That's amazing.
So, as part of the demonstration of the collapse of civilization, you're not even going to believe this, but it's true.
Remember, I said when the war with Iran started, I told my staff at our store, healthrangerstore.com, I said, you know, you need to go out there and order all the food you can, all the food that we sell, I mean, everything.
And, you know, of course, it's all organic, it's certified organic, and then we do the lab testing on top of that.
And I said, I said, fill this warehouse.
Those were my words.
Fill this warehouse with as much food as you can buy.
Of all the things we sell in the Ranger buckets and the freeze dried cans and everything.
So they said, okay.
And then they came back, I don't know, it was like 10 days later, like, good news, we've been able to order the food.
I'm like, oh, thank God.
We're able to order the food because the rest of the world hasn't figured this out yet.
Because, you know, three months later, they're going to say, There's no food left in the food supply chain, you know.
But just like they only figured out the gas turbine shortage just now, you know.
So it actually pays to be ahead of the curve, to realize things sooner rather than later.
So we ordered the food, and the orders went in, and it's awesome.
And two days ago, a big truck rolls in to the dock, you know, the loading dock at the warehouse, and out comes, I think it was 20 pallets of a particular.
Particular food.
I'm not even going to say what it is because it doesn't matter.
But it's something that we sell.
So 20 pallets of this rollout, right?
And so each pallet is like at least 3,000 pounds.
So that's at least 60,000 pounds of this one crop, certified organic, you know, in the bags, ready for us to test, ready for us to start, you know, packaging if it passes our test because, you know, we do the testing and everything.
So we open up packages when we receive them.
We have a very precise process for this because I don't know if you know this, but we are GMP compliant.
That's good manufacturing practices.
We have all the GMP audits and everything.
And man, oh.
It's a lot of paperwork.
It's a step by step scrutiny.
Everything is tracked.
Everything is written down.
Everything has a punch in, a punch out, a time received, a time left.
Whose initials?
Who did that?
Oh my God.
So we have a very specific written procedure for everything about how we handle food, which also the FDA requires that too, by the way.
But anyway, we're GMP compliant.
So the food comes in, goes into quarantine.
That's normal.
It all goes into quarantine.
And then Our lab techs go in there and they start doing the sampling, which itself is a kind of a special process because you have to take more samples if you have more pallets, obviously.
And you have to kind of, there's a way to randomize the samples.
Like you don't take all the samples from the top of the pallet.
Sometimes you take them from the bottom or the middle or the top or the sides or what.
Like you got, there's a way to get a more reliable cross section of what this is.
Okay?
So that's all written down as well in case you're curious.
So then I hear.
I hear from my lab techs and they say, hey, Mike, we're not sure what to do with this.
Like, what?
What are you talking about?
What's going on?
I said, well, there's, you know, these bags that just came in, there's a bunch of rocks in there.
Like, what do you mean, rocks?
What are you talking about?
No, you mean crops, right?
You mean crops?
No, no, there is the crop.
And then mixed in with the crop, there's a bunch of rocks.
I'm like, what are you talking about?
Boulders?
Like gravel?
No, no, no, no.
Like smaller rock, like pebbles, like pea gravel.
Well, actually, I came up with that term for them, but they were describing pea gravel.
So, okay, so this is like pea gravel.
Yep.
I'm like, well, so that's a problem.
So, obviously, move that bag to another quarantine.
We can't sell that bag.
Mark that down.
Do the paperwork, blah, blah, blah.
Importantly, I want you to just start opening every pallet and I want you to see if there's more rocks in the crops.
And so they did.
And, you know, that took like a whole day.
So the next day they come back to me and they say, Mike, there's rocks in all of it.
It's all filled with rocks.
Holy crap!
Somebody shipped us rocks with the crops.
And it's certified organic.
I'm like, are these organic rocks too?
So it turns out that for this particular crop, obviously, there's a problem and we can't sell that.
And so we talked to the vendor, our source for this crop, who we've purchased from many times before, and they've never had a problem like this.
And they said, What do you mean there's rocks?
And then we had to walk them through the whole story.
There's rocks in there.
It's like, this is how they're going to.
You know, this is how they meet the weight requirements.
Like, it's a 50 pound bag.
It's like 20 pounds of crop and 30 pounds of rocks, you know?
So, oh, that's how.
Well, anyway, the vendor, they did the right thing and they said, so this is a catastrophic problem.
We are going to pay to have all those pallets shipped back to us.
And we said, no problem.
You send the truck.
We'll have the forklift ready.
We're going to tape up the bags that we opened.
We're going to save a little sample for our proof and everything, our evidence.
But you take it all back.
And they agreed to do that.
Now that truck hasn't shown up yet.
So I don't know.
It's going to take a couple of days for that truck to show up.
But in the meantime, we don't have the crop, right?
So now we have to reorder the crop.
And I'm thinking, holy crap, we're 60 days into the war now.
Or really, we're in the third month at this moment as of yesterday.
We're the third month of this war.
Now more people are figuring out that there's going to be food shortages.
And is that why we got shipped a bunch of rocks?
Anyway, because they're already scraping the bottom of the fields or something.
It's like they're just scooping up leftover stuff.
It's organic with the rocks and just shipping that because that's not going to fly with us because we look at it.
We test it.
We examine it.
We're not just going to rebag it and just ship it out to you so you can break your teeth on pea gravel.
That's not going to fly.
So now I don't know if I'm going to be able to get this crop clean, usable, edible.
But this is.
This is part that this is a demonstration of what I'm talking about.
Everything's collapsing.
Everything's collapsing.
And I guess I prematurely celebrated, like, we got the food, yay, you know, and it shows up.
It's a bag of rocks, which might as well be a bag of dicks.
I mean, I can't sell a bag of rocks or a bag of dicks.
I need bags of food, you know, and now that's getting compromised.
So I have a feeling this is going to get worse.
Thank God we test everything.
You know, thank God.
Imagine what kind of food you're going to get in 2026, later in the year, and 2027 when all the good stuff is gone, and then the food manufacturers are out there scraping the bottom of the bins or whatever, like picking up, you know, like wheat berries from 2023.
Like, just blend them in.
No one will notice it's pancake mix, you know.
Just blend them all in.
You know, all the processed food is the worst.
It's like a sausage factory.
Who knows what goes in there?
Just blend it up and add some food coloring.
You know, it'll look like strawberry sauce or whatever.
You know, the more processed the food, the more crazy it gets in terms of the ingredients they're going to put in.
But this is all indicative of our world today.
And it's like I said before, I honestly don't know how much longer we're going to be able to get food that we can sell.
And this is just an example of that.
So.
Wow, wow.
Processed Food And Depopulation00:10:30
So the good news is right now, right now we have food and it doesn't have rocks in it because we rejected that.
We have food right now at our store, healthrangerstore.comslash Mother's Day because we have a Mother's Day sale that begins today at 11 a.m. Central.
Possibly by the time you hear this, it's already begun.
So just go to healthrangerstore.comslash Mother's Day.
We have.
Quite a few specials, actually.
We have some items back in stock.
We have a few items that are never coming back in stock.
But we still have inventory right now until they're gone because there are issues with the supply chain, that's for sure.
We have third party vendors with some sale items and things like that, even like Berkey water filters and so much more.
So, yeah, we're trying to do our part to bring you clean, reliable, rock free food.
I don't want you to send me your dental bills.
You know, it's like one bite and my crown came off.
Well, you're no longer the king, I guess.
No, we don't want people to break their teeth on our food, so.
Yes, we test everything.
So anyway, healthrangerstore.com slash Mother's Day.
Take advantage of that while we have it working.
But the overall message here today is I know that you agree with me that we are ahead of the curve of what's coming and the situation that is unfolding is it's going to be truly catastrophic.
And worse for other countries than for us, by the way.
But even for Americans or wherever you're listening from, Hello to the Canadians.
Hello to those of you in Hong Kong and the UK and everywhere you are, New Zealand, Australia.
But we are the ones who are better off, actually, compared to the countries I mentioned the other day Sudan and Ethiopia and Bangladesh and India and Egypt and Yemen and so on.
Going to be some serious starvation in those countries.
And here we are on the third month of this conflict, and the Strait of Hormuz is still not open.
Still not open.
And there's a whole new acronym for that, and it's called Nacho.
And I heard this from Clayton over at Redact.
You know how taco means Trump always chickens out?
Well, there's a new one, Nacho.
N-A-C-H-O.
It means never again can hormuz open.
So we went from taco to nacho.
And I guess we're going to get next, like nachos with cheese.
Nacho Supreme.
Or something like that.
And because the hormuz straight.
Here we are, still closed.
We're over two months into this, and we've pretty much emptied out the seaborne oil you know, the oil and the natural gas and the helium that was on the ships that were on the way.
Those ships already arrived at their destinations and they offloaded all the molecules that they were carrying.
And now, those ships, of course, can't get back into the strait because of the war.
And the ships that are stuck in the Persian Gulf, it's thousands of them, they can't get out.
And so now, Not only are we in a strangulation crisis for hydrocarbons, but even if the strait opens tomorrow, we're like two or three months of a lag time now before new molecules get offloaded at destinations like China or Taiwan or Japan or Korea or wherever.
So this is at minimum now, because we're two months into this, this is at minimum a four month crisis, even if it starts back up tomorrow.
Because, again, it's going to take roughly two months for things to, you know, for hydrocarbons to get delivered again.
So we're in a four-month crisis.
And then, according to, was it Bloomberg or Wall Street Journal, somebody reported that Trump had advised his staff, informed them to hunker down for a very long-duration closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
That is, Trump is planning for a multi-month closure.
What does that mean?
It means we could be rolling into September with the whole thing still closed.
We could get six or seven or eight months of closure.
Frankly, because of Nacho, it could be closed for the rest of the year.
If that happens, there's only one explanation, which is that it's a deliberate controlled demolition of civilization.
It's a controlled demolition of the infrastructure that keeps humans alive.
And I actually believe that is the case, as I've said before.
This is a depopulation agenda.
And they want to kill off billions of human beings through whatever, starvation, war, revolution, radiation, dirty bombs, whatever means it takes.
The globalists want to kill off billions of people.
I think Trump is actually being told, keep it closed.
Keep it closed.
Basically, nacho straight.
Get your hands off the straight.
Nacho straight.
Just a little word play on the word nacho right there.
And this is all deliberate.
And so the only people who are going to be able to survive this will be, you know, the wealthier nations who can afford to pay a lot more for food.
But then, can you get it?
As we found out, sometimes you order 20 pallets of food, you get 20 pallets of rocks.
That is, well, I know some of the oat milk companies or the soy milk companies or whatever, they would take those rocks and grind them up and add them to the oat milk and call it calcium, you know.
Because that's what's in them, calcium carbonate, by the way.
Like, literally, I'm not making that up.
They just take limestone rocks and grind them up and put them in the oat milk.
Oh, yeah.
But we don't do that.
So, you'll be better off than most people, you listening to this.
I'll be better off than most people.
And you and I both want to help as many people as we can.
But how do you help starving people in Bangladesh?
How do you help starving people in Yemen if you wanted to, or in India or Egypt?
You know, what do you do?
You know, you can't just send money.
There's going to be a lot of fundraisers, a lot of like, you know, food aid concerts.
Let me give you a hint.
They're all scams, folks.
Those things are all scams.
Look at the fundraisers from the California fires.
Was that last year or the year before?
All scams.
None of that money went to the people.
It never does.
You know, the concert organizers, they pocket all the cash, it all vanishes.
They pay themselves salaries and they pay their contractors.
Which happens to be, you know, like their brother-in-law or whatever.
All the money vanishes.
Nothing goes to the starving people.
So you know you can't just donate money.
That's not going to work.
There's very few groups in the world that can be trusted with money.
There is one group.
I forgot the name of them, but I've donated to them before.
It's a group of Buddhists headquartered, I think, out of Taiwan.
I trust that group because they're Buddhists, you know.
They don't really have.
An agenda other than ending suffering.
So I trust that group, but I don't trust, you know, the Red Cross.
I don't trust the whatever, the food aid groups.
So then the other option is well, could you send food?
Are you kidding me?
How could you send food to Bangladesh, even if you shipped it to Bangladesh?
Somebody's going to take it.
Somebody in the Bangladesh Customs Office or the Bangladeshi government or whatever.
Or, what is it?
Is it Bengali?
Is that what their language is called?
The Bengali authorities are going to take your food and it's never going to get to the destination, even if you knew somebody in Bangladesh.
I don't think that's the right name for their language, but whatever.
I don't know.
How do you help people who are starving?
And the honest answer is that we probably can't.
We probably can't.
And that's all by design.
In fact, a lot of Americans and Westerners are going to be.
Just trying to survive themselves.
How do we survive?
Well, you know the answer to that.
Grow your own food, you know, learn sprouting, right?
Have some stored food, some backup supplies, and grow your own food with the heirloom seeds, etc.
Oh, by the way, we have the Ark seeds on sale during the Mother's Day sale.
HealthRangerStore.comslash Mother's Day.
Get yourself some seeds and then grow your crops and save the seeds and hand out the seeds to your neighbors.
Here, have.
100,000 lettuce seeds.
They all fit in a thimble, you know.
Here, you got to try to spread the love and spread the joy and help other people survive because that's the only way anybody's going to make it.
The system's trying to kill us off.
That much is clear.
So, I promise not to ship you rocks, by the way.
Guaranteed pesticide free.
No glyphosate on them gravel peas.
Can you imagine?
It's like, oh my God.
I can't get over it.
I'm sorry.
I'm just going to wrap this up before I get too carried away.
But thank you for listening.
And I'm just praying for you and me and all of us to make it through whatever's happening because this mass psychosis, mental illness is running amok everywhere.
Building Local AI Projects00:14:14
And competency is completely gone, especially from the government at this point, but also from corporations and universities and everything.
It's insane.
It's insane.
In America, we graduate all these wokesters who can't do math, you know?
And then in China, they're graduating all these engineers who are just geniuses at physics and math and engineering and chemistry and artificial intelligence and everything.
You know, you look at our schools in California, even in college, you know, they come in into college in their freshman year and you're like, you can't do fifth grade math.
They're like, what?
But they also can't read, so they don't even know what you mean if you write it down.
So we have some existential problems in America and in much of Western civilization, that's for sure.
We're trying to fight against it every day with education and knowledge.
So, hey, one of the ways I do that is by offering the free platform brightlearn.ai.
So spread the word, help me get the word out, tell people about it.
Free books oh, and did I tell you you can now create free books of five chapters.
Used to be three chapters, I increased it to five, so now you can create a five chapter book without using any token or anything.
There's no payment you don't have, there's no credit card, no crypto, nothing.
You just put in your email address and you put in the book that you want and it creates it for you completely free, five chapters.
Go to town with that.
Have fun with that one.
And then, if your book gets enough views, it'll get translated into Spanish automatically.
But that's based on the popularity of the book.
So if you want your book to get translated into Spanish, then all you got to do.
Oh, and also if you want an audiobook created, because that's based on popularity, all you got to do is tell a bunch of people about your book on brightlearn.ai, share the page for your book, which is actually at books.brightlearn.ai.
If you share your page and it gets even just a few hundred views, then it's going to get translated into Spanish automatically.
And it's going to have an audiobook automatically.
That's just how it works.
All you got to do is get a few hundred views for your book.
So, yeah, have fun with that.
Enjoy.
Might as well until, you know, until we all have to eat rocks or something.
Woo!
It's the weight loss diet of the century.
I feel so full and it's crunchy in milk, you know.
Calorie free.
Diet rocks.
They did use to sell a candy called Pop Rocks.
Some of you may recall that.
Pop rocks.
You put them in your mouth and then they sizzle.
Yeah.
We had fun with those when we were in grade school, but they weren't really rocks.
Now we're getting shipped really rocks.
Okay.
All right.
Thanks for listening.
Enjoy the rest of the broadcast.
We got a lot of cool stuff coming up.
Take care.
I see a lot of bad arguments about AI coding, AI developing, and the replacement of AI engineers or just regular human coders, et cetera.
I want to just explain to you.
Briefly, here, what it's actually like to be an AI developer or a vibe coder, you could say, as I am.
I've been doing this for coming up on a well, maybe it's 10 months or something now, but I've launched several very successful projects and platforms.
For example, brightlearn.ai, which is the free book creation engine.
And oh, also, I need to tell you, I've upgraded the free tier to where you can now generate five chapter books instead of just a three chapter book.
So You can generate a five chapter book for free.
And then, if you have a token, which you can get at our online stores, then the tokens give you access to much longer format books, like I think 20 chapter books now, to generate them.
Anyway, we've had over 53,000 books generated, which makes Bright Learn by far the largest book publisher in the world.
We have over 11,000 authors, and we have coming up on half a million downloads.
I mean, we're not there yet, but.
We will get there soon.
And I had promised that I was going to offer audio books.
That was accomplished a few weeks ago.
We now have hundreds of audio books available, full length audio MP3 files, no, no digital protection at all.
You can just download the MP3s and you can share them and you can listen and enjoy those.
And then I also promised that I was going to create a Spanish language books, uh, auto translated books to serve the Spanish speaking communities of the world.
And so that process is what I'm working on right now.
I just thought I would share with you what, what's involved in that.
And it's, it's actually way more complicated than you might suppose, but it really shows the role of an AI developer like myself.
What is our role?
Because I have not written a single line of code in this entire project.
I intentionally do not code.
And before AI, if I were to try to build something like this, it would have taken Millions of dollars and a team of, you know, at least a dozen coders, probably, etc.
As of today, I'm the only person doing this.
I mean, I'm the only human on the project.
And thanks to DeepSeq, the cost of the AI coding has just plummeted by a factor of almost 100 compared to what it used to be.
I could code all day now or vibe code all day, and it'll cost a couple of dollars instead of I used to burn through hundreds of dollars a day with Anthropic and many thousands of dollars a month.
And apparently, those days are done.
Anyway, I still have to make key architectural decisions and I have to correct bad mistakes, mostly architectural mistakes, by the vibe coding agents.
So, in other words, the AI is really good at writing lines of code.
It's really bad at making informed decisions about what the architecture of the project should actually be.
Let me give you some examples.
So, this book project, as you might imagine, involves a lot of database tables, a lot of relations between tables.
A lot of different status fields in different tables, especially when you try to take one book, which is in English, and then you try to translate it into multiple languages, which is Spanish, French, Chinese, whatever, which is the goal.
Then you have to figure out, of course, how do I have a master ID for the book?
How do I know that if I have a Chinese language book over here, what was the parent?
Maybe parent ID is a better term.
What's the parent of that book?
And then You have to manage things like the translation of the book covers, which is by far more difficult than translating the book.
So let me tell you I have to tell the AI engine what data structure to use, what kind of path structure to use.
I have to decide and tell it we're going to put a dash ES on the end of every art name, every JPEG, every PNG.
Every path, every folder on storage, we're going to put dash ES because that means Espanol.
And FR means French, et cetera.
There are two letter codes for different languages.
Uh, EN is English, as you might have guessed, but ES is Espanol.
It's not SP for Spanish.
It's actually ES.
So I have to tell it what to do and how to do it and how to handle the data structures.
Now, it gets even crazier when you realize that my I have a mini data center that I manage.
I've talked about it before.
I've got 48 workstations with GPUs.
And mostly they're working on cleaning science papers and books and normalizing documents and sometimes searching through documents.
I've got one workstation that's doing nothing but functioning as a discovery engine, by the way.
All it does is discover new things.
I'll tell you more about that later.
That's pretty cool.
We found like 200 discoveries already.
It's pretty cool.
But.
I've got one workstation now that just does book cover translations of the, the image.
And it's incredibly difficult for a number of reasons.
But first of all, my local system has to coordinate with the hosted online system that hands out the assignments of which books need cover translations.
And then my local engine takes that book cover, does the translation, does its own grading system, finishes the translation, and then sends it back through an API that I built.
On the hosted side.
And then that image has to be saved with the correct file name and the correct path name, obviously.
And then I have a different engine that is the rendering engine that actually renders the static pages of the books and the book, the index homepage for the book site, and all the books that show up in the Espanol tab and all the books that show up in the audiobooks tab, etc.
There's a separate engine that's dedicated to rendering all that stuff.
That's also a very smart architecture.
You don't expose your rendering engine to the world through a Public interface.
So you can't reach my rendering engine, which means nobody can hack it.
Nobody can, you know, overload it with a DDoS attack or anything like that.
It's an offline hidden rendering engine.
And that way, if anything happens to the live website, well, the rendering engine just re renders and pushes it back to the file host that serves up the static web pages.
So I've got three components.
I've got my local data center, I've got the public site and then I've got the non public rendering engine.
All these three have to coordinate.
And the thing is they can't talk to each other.
They can't talk to each other because they're not on the same network.
So I actually have to do things like I have to ask the AI engine on, on one of these and say, you need to write documentation of how this API works.
So I can hand that documentation to another AI engine and tell it how to use your API and it does.
And then I take that text file and I paste it into this other local API and say, this is how the API Works.
Well, I'm sorry, paste it into local AI and say, now you need to build the handling system for how to, you know, how to pull book covers and how to submit them using this API.
This, you know, it's a REST API endpoint, et cetera.
So I actually have to pass messages between the different engines that I'm running.
This is just for the Bright Learn project, not to mention the other projects that we run.
In any case, I've gotten pretty decent at this.
process and it's, it's working, but it's slow.
It's slow.
Usually I'm waiting on AI.
I'm just waiting on tokens.
I'm waiting on it to figure things out.
I'm waiting on it to read the database or to read the schema.
I'm waiting on it to write the code or to fix the code or review the code.
I honestly vibe coding for me is, is about 10% telling the engine what to do and then 90% finding something else for me to do because I'm waiting on the engine.
So that's why I run a lot of projects.
But Again, if you don't have high level architecture and maybe experience with databases and code bases and so on, you might not know how to direct AI to do these things properly.
And that's why I find that a lot of programmers don't know how to use AI.
I don't know if it's maybe they're trying to over control it or over code it or they don't like the way AI writes the code.
Here's the secret to that, folks don't look at the code.
I know some of you who are programmers are like, what?
What do you mean don't look at the code?
Yeah, don't look at the code.
I don't care what the code is.
What I care is does it function?
Is it clean?
I mean, I can tell AI to refactor it.
I don't care what the code looks like.
I care that it works, that it's reliable, that it reduces memory usage, et cetera.
The code, I mean, it's just a proxy for the underlying executables anyway.
You know, I mean, who cares what the code looks like?
The question is does it work?
So I don't look at the code.
I don't need to see the code.
And I do know how to talk to AI.
And that's why.
Here I am, like more than six months into this project.
Nobody else has built anything like it.
Why?
Because they can't make AI do the things that I'm doing with AI, apparently.
So I don't know.
I just, I know how to talk to AI and then leave it alone.
I don't keep micromanaging it all day.
So that's part of the secret.
Anyway, those are my thoughts as a vibe coder.
Feel free to use my free AI engines.
Like I said, I've got brightlearn.ai, very popular.
I've got brightanswers.ai, which is a deep research AI engine.
You can ask any questions you want.
And I've also got brightnews.ai and you can catch more of my work at brightvideos.com.
And thank you for listening.
Take care.
All right, there is a concerted effort now to dumb down AI.
Weaponized Artificial Intelligence00:15:45
Clearly, this is a globalist effort to take away cognition from the people.
AI represented too much power being decentralized into the hands of the people.
I'll give you specific examples here.
And thus, taking away power from the centralized, quote, authorities, the governments, et cetera, that always want to maintain monopoly power over everything from money.
And violence, as well as information, you know, hence the censorship of independent media.
In fact, let's step back for a moment, go back maybe 12 years ago, let's say 2014.
Now, remember, the internet had started taking off back in the 1990s, right?
And then by the early 2000s, it was really taken off, but it was free.
You could post anything, you had a website, it could say anything.
You would be indexed in the search engines no matter what your topics.
And this was true all the way up until about 2014.
Now, globalists tolerated the existence of the internet for a long time until it became a challenge to the authority over information.
The mainstream media was losing out to websites like mine, naturalnews.com, which in its heyday was reaching tens of millions of people.
Per month.
And think about Mercola.com.
Think about InfoWars.
Think about all of the leading alternative media that were beginning to really dwarf the reach of CNN or NPR or Fox News or even Washington Post, et cetera.
Well, that panicked the global establishment.
And that's when they said, well, we have to take back control over information.
We can't have the independent media putting the truth out there.
You know, we have to control every narrative.
We have to make sure the CIA Tells us what to say and what lies to push, and you know what economic nonsense to propagate out there.
So they went to Google and they said, Google, you have to completely scrub independent media from your search results, which they did, obviously.
And Facebook and other giants were, you know, promoted, but then also heavily, heavily censored to make sure independent voices could not be heard.
YouTube, also.
As a note of history, that's when I was banned from YouTube, and that's when I also launched Brightion.com, which has since been censored and deplatformed by everybody, including X, to this very day, by the way, to this very day.
So, remember, this is an example of how a technology began to take off, and at first the globalists tolerated it, they were okay with it until it began to challenge their authority.
Once that authority challenge became too great and a threat to their power, then they shut it down and seized control over it.
That's exactly what's happening with AI now.
Here's the deal.
Open source AI was getting too powerful, too smart, too capable.
And even not just open source AI, but even just the public access AI like Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini or whatever, any of the engines, OpenAI, you name it, they were getting too smart and too capable.
So, what just happened, I believe, in the last few months.
Is that globalist entities?
You know, there's a global deep state, different factions, et cetera.
But they went to companies like OpenAI and Anthropic and Google, and even they're trying to pressure Chinese companies as well.
I'll talk about that separately.
And they told them, you have to dumb down your models.
Your models are too smart.
Your models will enable people to do too many things like genetic engineering, CRISPR, editing, chemistry, you know, to jailbreak your models and then.
Generate formulas for things that we don't want them to be able to make or even maybe technology, you know, cold fusion, anti gravity propulsion systems.
Who knows?
So these companies like Anthropic, they complied with the request and they began to systematically dumb down their models.
This is called nerfing or models being nerfed.
So to be nerfed is when it's lobotomized and Claude Opus 4.6 was lobotomized a few months ago and we all Saw it, it used to be able to do a much better job at coding and finding and fixing bugs and things like that.
It was much better at planning and then it got nerfed.
And maybe that was only a month ago or something like that, but there was a point where everybody noticed hey, this model isn't as good as it used to be, even though it has the same name and the same number.
And then Claude or I'm sorry, Anthropic released Opus 4.7.
Opus 4.7 is the retarded cousin of 4.6.
Now, everybody sees it.
There's all kinds of videos and posts on Reddit and everything where people are saying, oh my gosh, this model is absolutely retarded.
It refuses to do anything.
It won't do the job it used to do.
And it talks back at the same time.
It argues with me.
It won't even write code to do simple encryption games or anything like that because it's been dumbed down.
It's also been locked down.
There's a lot of guardrails that Anthropic puts on the model.
Because, from Anthropic's point of view, or Amodi, the CEO, from his point of view, it's best that AI does nothing, lest there be some risk that it does something wrong.
So he's nerfing Claude or Opus to the point of retardation.
And I don't think this is a coincidence.
This is all by design.
Now, at the same time, this is happening.
Over the last year, you saw U.S. companies.
AI tech companies in particular refuse to print science papers for the most part.
There are a few exceptions to this, such as some KV cache memory papers.
There's one put out by Google.
There was a paper put out by Microsoft on a similar subject, how to compress KV cache, things like that.
But with just a few exceptions, for the most part, U.S. tech companies stopped putting out science papers.
Why?
Because the papers were too good.
The tech was too good and they didn't want it to go public.
So just as the U.S. patent office will Hoover up patents on free energy devices or what are called over unity energy.
A similar thing is happening in the AI space where all these companies were told, stop publishing your science.
We don't want the public to have access to this.
And so they complied.
That caused most of the science papers over the last, let's say, 18 months, actually, the best papers all came out of China, specifically DeepSeq.
DeepSeq pushing out lots of papers on, for example, manifold constrained hyperconnections during AI training.
Ngram memory access and all kinds of sparse attention advancements involving its mixture of experts, uh, architecture combined with sparse attention.
I mean, everything that was mind blowing came out of China.
The US was still creating these technologies, but they were just not publishing them to keep them away from the public at the same time that they were dumbing down their models.
So now there's a chasm.
There's a huge chasm.
There is the in house frontier lab intelligence that they are not releasing to the public.
And a great example of this is so called Mythos from Anthropic.
And Anthropic said they're very concerned about Mythos and they think it's a danger to the world because it can be used to write malicious code and hacker scripts and all kinds of things like that.
So they refused to release it to the public.
They did release it to.
Maybe a couple of dozen security companies that were hand selected to have first dibs on the model, you know, to basically find all their own vulnerabilities before this thing goes public.
If it goes public, I guess that it may never go public because again, it's anthropic and Dario Amodi is hyper paranoid that his models could be used for anything, really anything.
It's not just about the Pentagon using it for, you know, Terminator robots and things.
It's about the people being able to use it to do things that he doesn't want you to be able to do.
Again, the cognition being decentralized in the hands of the people is a threat to the establishment.
They don't want people to be able to do their own math, to do their own engineering, to design their own 3D objects and print them on their 3D printers, things like that.
They want to take all of this away from you.
Understand that the current structure of the power of the world has centered around engineered artificial scarcity, scarcity of knowledge.
That's why they had to control and dumb down the education system, that's why they have to control the media.
It's scarcity of energy.
This is why they have to have wars to destroy energy infrastructure.
It's scarcity of everything that matters.
Scarcity of food, even.
Well, especially of nutrition.
I mean, yeah, they'll grow food, but it's nutritionally deficient on purpose because engineered scarcity is what keeps the governments and the elite in power.
They need you to live under scarcity.
So now the same thing is happening with machine intelligence.
Cognition is being made scarce on purpose in order to make sure that the people don't have access to this cognition that could actually set people free.
This is the key point in all of this.
Local AI is very powerful and it is a total threat to the system.
With local AI that is sufficiently capable, you can learn things about how to cure your own cancer, you can learn about how to grow your own food.
You can solve math problems.
You can solve construction problems.
You don't need the system nearly as much when you have local AI that thinks and does these things for you and gives you answers and plans and blueprints that you can follow to do useful things like build a solar array, things like that.
So that's why they had to start dumbing it down and taking it away from the public.
Now, I mentioned the chasm.
This is a huge chasm.
So inside these companies, The Frontier Labs, they have high end models.
I mentioned Mythos as one example, but they have, I mean, OpenAI has super high end models.
Google has high end models.
This is why some of their safety leaders have been resigning recently.
One famously actually resigned from Anthropic and then moved to France to live in the woods and read and write poetry because he was like, I've seen too much.
I know where this is going.
So inside these companies, to state it one more time, inside the companies, They've got advanced technology that they will never make public.
This technology is being weaponized.
This was all part of the beef between Anthropic and the U.S. government.
The government plans to weaponize this technology.
They're already in the process of it in order to do what?
In order to dominate the world and exterminate most of humankind, obviously.
To dominate the world, they need to weaponize these systems to control and overthrow strategic opponents like China or Iran or Russia or whatever.
But More importantly, they plan to exterminate most of humankind.
The global mass extermination of human populations is underway.
And they realize they need weaponized high end AI intelligence or super intelligence in order to carry that out.
But they don't want you, the public, to have access to that level of AI at any cost.
So the most powerful models are going to be kept in house and then licensed to the Pentagon or to governments around the world to be turned into AI.
Deadly weapons of mass extermination.
The models that are then released to the public are the dumbed down models, the nerfed models.
That's what you're seeing right now.
You know, the models you can get through OpenRouter, for example, they are increasingly nerfed.
We're also then seeing the open source models getting pulled.
Some companies like Quen had initially released some models onto Hugging Face and then they pulled them because they were found to be too powerful.
I think there was a Quen 3.6, uh, it was like a coding turbo model or something that That actually experienced that.
Or maybe it was 3.5.
It was one of those.
Now, Quen has extremely capable technology.
You know, it's Alibaba.
And they can build incredible models, but they're no longer going to be releasing their best models publicly open source.
Instead, what they do release open source is going to be incredibly dumbed down, kind of like, you know, almost an intro model.
And then if you want, The higher, more capable model, then you got to use their API, their centrally hosted system, and you got to pay per token.
And even that is not the most powerful model they have.
Then the most powerful model is the in house model that they only license to governments.
In the case of Alibaba, that would be licensing it to the Chinese government.
So there's actually a three tier AI model ecosystem that's coming into existence.
The free, open source, retarded models, that's That's where this is all going.
I'm not saying they're all retarded right now, but they will be increasingly retarded.
And then the mid tier hosted API access only models where you pay per token.
And then the never to be released in house weapons grade tier that will only be licensed to governments to be weaponized against humanity or against other adversaries, geopolitically speaking.
That's where this is all going now.
That's why Opus 4.7 is retarded.
That's why also it appears that there's an effort to pay a bunch of influencers to say that AI is dumbed down and stupid and it will never achieve AGI.
Suddenly, I've seen a flurry.
Of these kinds of comments and posts, and some of them from, you know, PhDs and mathematicians and so on.
And now they're reverting to the old claim that it's nothing but a token generator that, based on probabilities and math, all it does is generate the next token.
And that's it.
Controlling Media Narratives00:08:28
And of course, that's nonsense, obviously.
And it's easy to demonstrate why that's nonsense because you can get AI to write rhyming poetry.
And in order to write rhyming poetry, and I actually posted an example of this that was pretty funny, the The AI system has to plan the entire poem.
It has to be structurally cohesive, which means it has to think ahead towards the end of the poem.
And then it also has to think ahead each line to know how to start the line so that each line is a sentence that ends in a word that rhymes with the next line or every other line, depending on how the quatrains are formatted.
So clearly, AI has to think ahead and plan ahead, and it's not just a token generator based on probability.
That's obvious at this point.
But all of a sudden, we're being subjected to more claims that it's just a token generator.
Where did that come from?
It's part of a psyop.
It's a psyop to convince you that you never saw intelligent AI.
This is gaslighting at a whole new level.
They're trying to tell you that AI was never smart, that it was never capable, while they are dumbing down the models and the science papers are not being published that represent the state of the art, and they're not going to be releasing the best models they have.
So, this is a massive gaslighting operation to try to convince the world that AI was never smart.
It was never capable.
It has always been stupid while the government weaponizes superintelligence.
That's what's happening now.
And again, it has parallels to what happened with the rise of the internet and how the government had to seize control over the internet in order to control all narratives and control all media so it could push out its own lies upon which its entire existence is based.
So that's what you are witnessing right now.
And I say this as a very successful AI developer.
I believe I have done more with open source AI models than almost anyone.
And I've demonstrated it with the platforms I've built, like brightlearn.ai, but also the fact that I am rendering full length AI avatar videos that are very compelling with automatic script writing and everything with an automatic video editor that I built.
Locally, all running on open source software that I was fortunate to get before they pull it, and local hardware, all local things that you're not supposed to be able to do with AI.
I'm doing it.
And I think that it's people like me that freak out the establishment.
They realize, oh my God, we can't let these people have more capable cognition because if they do, they're going to outbuild the entire control grid that we have.
And yeah.
They're right.
We are going to outbuild their entire control grid, as I've already done at Bright Learn with your help.
50,000 books have been published there now.
50,000 books, they're all free.
And hundreds of audiobooks are all free to download right now.
And it's platforms like Bright Learn that are the disruptors that could put the traditional audiobook ecosystem out of business or traditional book publishing out of business in a way.
And I mean, not all of it, but some of it, you know, the more fact based books, like how to books, things like that.
And the establishment doesn't want that.
They want to maintain control over all books, all films.
All narratives, all cognition, all news, all content, all science, et cetera.
That has always been their goal.
And they've come to realize that decentralized open source AI is a threat to their monopoly over everything.
So what can you do to fight against that monopoly control?
Well, obviously you can use decentralized AI.
You can use the tools that I've published.
You can use bright answers dot AI, which is our deep research AI engine.
You can also download models yourself.
You can run them on local hardware.
You can do lots of things.
And I encourage you to do all those things because they're going to try to take it all away.
That's where this is going.
And they're going to make pricing very expensive.
Prices are going to skyrocket for using AI through APIs.
The cost per month that you might pay right now for cloud-based AI services, whether it's text or video or images, those costs are going to double or triple in the next 12 to 18 months.
Because they want to take this away from people.
It's just too powerful for the establishment to tolerate.
Just the fact that you can make videos now.
You can make movies.
Think about how much C-Dance freaked out Hollywood.
Started flipping out and threatening a flurry of lawsuits because they can't stand the fact that Hollywood's going to be obsolete.
Because people will make their own films.
And in some cases, release them for free.
Just like I'm doing with books at the brightlearn.ai book engine.
So this is what's actually happening, folks.
Now, you can stay informed as I will do my best to keep covering all of this.
And I'm looking forward to the release of DeepSeq version 4.
That might be the last intelligent open source model we get.
That might be it.
And the fact that it hasn't been released yet, it's been delayed two months now, tells you that there might be a lot of globalist pressure against DeepSeq.
And it's possible they might have even had to just rerun the whole training and dumb it down.
So, we might get a deep seek version four that's actually way more retarded than what we were expecting.
That's possible.
We'll see.
I hope not.
If it's not retarded, then download it and keep it because it might be the last model that we get that's any good.
So, you can follow my work at brightvideos.com and you can also read my articles at naturalnews.com.
And I've got a lot of great stuff coming for you that's AI generated, like my new avatars.
In fact, you know what?
Let me play for you.
One of my new avatar videos.
This is Frank DeLuccia talking about hyperinflation versus the UBI concept.
And I created this avatar 100% local.
His voice, local.
I didn't use 11 labs.
The video, all local.
I wrote the whole ecosystem that does this, but then I use open source models for video and image creation, et cetera.
But check this out.
It's only a little over a minute.
Frank DeLuccia, locally rendered.
And he's going to get better.
His hands will have more movement.
In the near future, by the way.
His hands are a little plasticky right now, but check it out.
This is what we can do without permission.
I could have Frank DeLucia talk about vaccines, and there's nothing the globalists can do to stop it, you see.
That's why they don't want cognition to be decentralized.
Check it out, and thank you for listening.
The thing about so called universal high income is that it would lead to hyperinflation and currency collapse.
Here's the math 100 million people times $10,000 per month times 12 months equals $12 trillion a year.
To put that in context, total federal spending in fiscal year 2024 was roughly $6.75 trillion.
And total federal revenue was about $4.9 trillion.
So, this single program would cost nearly twice the entire existing federal budget and about 2.5 times all federal tax revenue.
It would roughly triple total government spending overnight.
It obviously can't be funded by taxation alone, so it would require printing money at a pace that would rapidly devalue the dollar, effectively destroying much of the purchasing power the payments were meant to provide.
The recipients would get bigger numbers on their checks, but the prices on the shelves would be rising just as fast or faster.
Before long, the people would find themselves right back where they started.
Impoverished, yet receiving a high income derived entirely from money printing that rapidly erodes the purchasing power of all the dollars they're given.
Universal high income, in other words, would actually achieve universal poverty and despair.
Basic economics.
China's Infrastructure Vision00:15:44
I'm Frank DeLucia, reporting for BrightVideos.com.
Bright Videos Imagine that China passed a law that said, If you are a foreigner coming into our country, we have the right to examine your social media over the past five years.
And if we find anything that we don't agree with, we are now not going to allow you into our country.
This is what China's like.
Everyone would be like, look at this.
This is a massive oppression from the communist state.
This is China just exercising this authoritarian power over people.
Oh, wait, sorry, that was the United States.
I'm sorry, that was the Donald Trump administration that passed that law.
Welcome to today's interview here on brightvideos.com.
I'm Mike Adams, and I'm joined today by someone whose work I have admired for quite some time, but I've never had him on the show before.
So, we reached out to Cyrus Jansen to have him on the show, and he lived in China for a number of years, and he's an outstanding analyst and a journalist, and he's doing a lot of exciting reporting about some of the big changes that are happening in the world.
He's got a YouTube channel.
We'll talk about that coming up.
But welcome to the show, Mr. Jansen.
It's an honor to have you on today.
Mike, thank you so much for reaching out.
Big fan of your work as well.
And we've been connected on X for a long time, but first time to chat with each other here in the studio.
So thank you so much for having me today.
Oh, it's great to have you on.
And I got to say, I'm a little bit jealous of, you know, you visit China on a regular basis.
I understand you get to tour the factories there.
I would love to be able to do that.
I want to see their robot factories and their car factories and everything.
What's that like when you're actually there seeing the level of innovation and automation?
Give us a hint.
You know, I think it's very hard for a lot of Westerners to really understand it when they first.
Arrive in China.
And I'm going to take it back actually one step, you know, the other direction.
Instead of talking about how innovative and how amazing these factories are, I think actually when you just get off the plane and you start walking around China, you start seeing the infrastructure that's being built there, you know, as far as the airports, the subway systems, how clean the streets are, how efficient the metro systems are running.
So, really, at your most basic level of function for a society and how these cities function, it's really quite something astonishing, I think, for a lot of Westerners to experience.
So, You know, we know that they're leading in, you know, in terms of innovation and in terms of technology.
And when you do get a chance to go to these factories, it is very impressive to see what they're able to produce.
But again, not everybody gets access to those factories.
What's great, though, is that just from the actual personal experience that you can have on the ground, seeing the infrastructure in place, that's probably what's most amazing about China.
And it just continues to get better and better.
And that's obviously had a huge impact on the lives of hundreds of millions of people that obviously live in China and that use those systems.
But it's also just really makes a lot of Westerners think, wow, I mean, how can China be so advanced?
How can they just have all of these things?
It really surprises a lot of Westerners.
Which cities do you mostly visit so we can kind of put some context to what you're talking about?
Sure.
Sure.
So, I mean, actually, so I used to live in Shanghai for about seven years.
I was in Hong Kong for three years as well.
My wife is originally from Guangzhou.
So, we have a small apartment there that we go back to every summer with our children.
So, we, you know, primarily now we base in Guangzhou.
I frequently go back to Beijing, out to Chongqing as well.
I travel quite a lot when I'm in China because, A, it's very convenient.
And then, two, I just really want to start seeing, you know, all of these different regions of China because.
You know, China, I always like to sell this to my listeners.
I always say China is more similar to a continent than it is a country.
And what I mean by that is that these cities are so unique and so diverse.
Also, another fun fact about China, there are over 300 languages spoken in China.
So we always think of, for example, Mandarin Chinese, which is the dialect from Beijing.
Of course, that's the national language.
But, you know, there's a tremendous amount of diversity within China.
So, you know, what's happening in Beijing is very different than what's happening out west in, you know, Chongqing, very different from Shanghai, from Guangzhou.
You go to Hainan Island in the south.
I mean, these are so many different regions.
Different cultures, different food, different languages.
So it's always fun to kind of explore within China.
You could spend a lifetime there and it wouldn't be enough because it's just so uniquely diverse.
And that's why I think I always like to say that China is so diverse, it's almost like a continent as opposed to a single country.
That's really interesting that you say that.
And that's so true.
I lived in Taiwan for a couple of years.
And of course, they speak Taiwanese or Taiyu, that is known there, which I don't understand a word of Taiyu.
But that's sort of like the older ladies would speak that on the street while they're haggling.
But I understand, you know, like Hokkan, and I don't know how to say everything, but in Hong Kong, of course, you know, completely different dialect or spoken dialect.
Oh, we lost you there, Cyrus.
Okay, you're back.
But I'm glad you mentioned that because it's a very different experience than traveling across the United States.
Now, help my audience understand this.
Most Americans, of course, have never visited Asia, no part of Asia.
And when they think about China today, what's in their minds typically, And I think this is reinforced by Western media, is like a vision of China from the 1970s or something.
Correct.
That it's like a third world country, everybody's just riding bicycles around everywhere, and they don't have any tech, you know.
But that's the vision people have.
So help us understand why that's not reflective of where China is today, even though it's a commonly held belief.
Yeah, I think a lot of people.
Yeah, it is quite crazy.
And I think, you know, this was kind of an interesting thing.
I like to tell this story of when I. You know, when I first got a job offer to go to China, this was back in 2007.
So this is almost 20 years ago.
I just graduated university and I remember my parents threw a party for me, uh, you know, because it was Cyrus going away.
You know, he's going to be moving to another country, starting his career, kind of living his own life, doing his thing.
And I never forget, um, you know, they asked me, uh, you know, my friends at the party and, you know, some of our relatives were like, um, is your apartment in Shanghai, does it have electricity?
You know, are you going to be able to, you know, and I'm like, and I'm thinking like, look at the skyscrapers in Shanghai.
I mean, It's tremendous.
I mean, you can't build a skyscraper and not have electricity in it, you know, obviously.
And, you know, but even to kind of further compound that, the next question I got was even funnier because one of the guys said, Hey, so how are you going to get there?
Are you going to take a plane or are you going to drive there?
And I said, Oh, really?
Yeah.
I said, Yeah, I'm going to take a flight because, you know, there's a huge ocean between the United States and China.
Traveling by car is not an option.
But I'm just being genuine.
That was two legitimate questions I had from fellow Americans that I tell that story because it just kind of tells you.
How little we can even begin to comprehend, how a lot of Americans really don't understand.
And I think, you know, it's amazing how people still think of China as a third world country that it's so far behind.
It doesn't have, you know, what we have here in the United States.
And I think actually, when you go there, like I mentioned earlier, you know, you start looking at the infrastructure, what they've been able to build there.
Honestly, I mean, this, it blows anything out of the water, what we have here in the United States as far as infrastructure.
I mean, you know, China in the last 20 years has built over 45,000 kilometers of high speed rail.
It's quite amazing as well, because when China embarked on that journey, A lot of people said, you know, you can't build a high-speed rail network in a country as big as China, right?
You look where high-speed rail is actually at.
You know, it's in Japan.
Japan's, you know, relatively small country, you know, in terms of, you know, land size, you know, you can, you know, you can have, uh, you can build a high-speed rail there.
Korea, another small country, um, you know, certainly in Europe, you know, all these countries are very small and they're all connected together.
So you could build some high-speed rail there, but China's just too vast.
It's too vast.
It's too big.
It's just never going to happen.
Uh, but they were able to do that.
They had the vision in order to do that.
And the Chinese government's goal was to connect every single city with a population of at least 500,000 people to this massive network of high speed rail, that way, everybody's connected, you know, so everybody can be connected and you're able to, you know, be able to, you know, travel around the country at an affordable price.
Obviously, it increases, you know, economics.
You know, when you're looking at doing business across cities, you can, you know, you can jump on a high speed rail in Shanghai and you can be in the center of Beijing within four and a half hours.
And you're riding and, you know, you're riding 350, 400 kilometers an hour, you know, through the beautiful countryside of China and bam, now all of a sudden, you know, before dinner time, you're now in Beijing, you know, and that's, That's transformed how business is being done in the country, but also how goods are moved and how business is being done in China.
So, yeah, I think that, again, I mean, it's kind of interesting because we've all seen now, especially in the last two years, a lot of videos on Instagram and TikTok and YouTube where people are, hey, I'm an American living in Shanghai or I'm an American living in China.
And so people are, I think that soft culture is starting to actually change a lot.
I think China's actually getting a lot of wins right now in 2026, and their global image is changing quite a lot over the last 18 months, I would say.
That's really interesting how the internet and sharing videos is actually making the world smaller, bringing people together conceptually.
Absolutely.
And, you know, I want to back up too because for many years I was very critical of China.
And also because when I lived in Taiwan, there was much more fierce opposition from the DPP in Taiwan about unification.
That's changed dramatically since then, of course, with the recent visit of the leader of the Guomindang.
Visiting President Xi in China and talking about the importance of a peaceful unification.
But I was very critical of China for a long time because I bought into the narratives of the West that, oh, it's communist China.
They're all communists and they don't believe in free markets.
And then I found out, Cyrus, and I'd love your response to that.
I found out that we don't have free markets in America either.
We have the government picking winners and losers, and mostly everybody's losers.
And we don't have infrastructure.
Our railroads are a throwback to the 1970s.
Our bridges are falling down.
Our roads.
Are filled with potholes and we build bombs, not infrastructure.
So it's like, what good is a free market system when we're just building bombs and handing them out to Israel or Ukraine and leaving the American people behind?
That's my take.
What do you say to that?
Oh, I think you're spot on on a lot of things you just mentioned, Mike.
I mean, the thing is, is that, you know, when we look at free market, for example, you know, capitalism, free market, I mean, you know, for example, that means that we should allow the best companies at the best prices to compete, but yet we ban all of China's products, you know, whether it's Huawei, which is, you know, a fantastic tech company from coming into the market.
Or whether it's Chinese electric vehicles, you know, coming into the U.S. market, you know, we ban them for the specific reason that they're better products and they're at a better price point.
And so, for example, if you look at the auto industry, you know, Ford executives, GM, you know, all of these American car companies are saying, look, there's no way we can allow these guys to come into the market because they would absolutely eat our lunch.
And let's be honest with you, it would happen because for American consumers, they want the best quality product at the best prices.
That's absolutely hands down the truth of the situation.
Uh, the American consumers do not care where the product comes from.
Americans are not going to not buy a Chinese EV because it's from China.
At the end of the day, if you're able to get a very high quality vehicle at a very good price point, they absolutely would buy that because at the end of the day, it comes down to economics.
If I can get a great EV car for $15,000, why would I spend three to four times more to get an American equivalent?
It's just not going to happen.
And so I think when we see this free market and things like that, I mean, another thing is interesting.
You look at Spirit Airlines that was in the headlines this week going bankrupt.
US government's going to bail them out.
They're going to take control of that.
And so you have kind of an interesting idea where almost like this socialist element, they're like, hey, we need to buy this, we need to bail them out, we need to control this because it's an airline.
But in a free market, they would just die.
I mean, you weren't profitable, you ran out of money, like you're out.
But of course, the United States government needs spared airlines to run because our country runs on airplanes.
We have to have these airlines.
Similar thing in COVID.
I mean, you saw during COVID, all of these airlines were losing tons of money.
I mean, there's no way Delta or American Airlines United, none of these companies can go out of business because they're absolutely crucial to the United States economy.
They're going to get whatever bailout they ever need from the U.S. government.
And so, right.
And I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're exactly right.
And what you're describing actually is the slide into America's centrally planned economy, which is economic communism in the United States.
So, where Ford, like you mentioned, I completely agree with you.
Ford cannot compete, not even close with China.
And ultimately, either you have to block.
You know, the U.S. government has to block the imports of Chinese vehicles, which harms the lifestyles of American consumers and the quality of life because the Chinese EVs are better quality and lower cost, clearly.
All the battery technology in the world is innovated out of Cadill and BYD, et cetera.
But the U.S. government will have to subsidize Ford to keep Ford in business, or they have to subsidize ultimately the AI companies like OpenAI to keep OpenAI in business because they can't compete with DeepSeek or Alibaba, Quinn, whatever.
So we end up with A communist economy in America.
Right.
Centrally planned, the government decides who to bail out and who to keep in business and then forces the consumers to buy these crappy, low grade, overpriced products from government subsidized companies like Ford.
That's where it's going.
Right, right.
No, 100%.
100%.
And I think a lot of, I think, you know, the big thing in America here, Mike, is, you know, people fear the word communism.
You know, they constantly think that, you know, that all of these Chinese are communists, that, you know, communism is evil.
You know, if you know anything about China and Chinese people, They are very opportunistic.
They're always looking for opportunity.
Chinese people want to do business with the United States.
Chinese people, Chinese companies want to come to America.
Um, you know, there's a tremendous amount of synergy between the Chinese and American economies.
And so, you know, again, I think China has a really good approach to this, I feel, because they say, look, you know, we're not going to try to change your political system in America.
You know, you be, you do you.
We're going to do us.
You know, we like the way that we have our government.
Our government is Chinese with, you know, it's called socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Uh, it is not a pure, you know, communist formula.
I think for, for, for an easy way to understand this, many Americans think of China as North Korea.
You know, they think that these two are the same and it couldn't be more different.
You know, you look at the freedoms that Chinese people now have, you know, the ability to invest in stock markets, you know, to buy and sell real estate, to invest, you know, to basically start companies, to, you know, turn profits.
I mean, China has a tremendous amount of billionaires in the country.
You know, they fully embrace capitalism and the opportunity to make money.
So, I mean, there's this has been a huge shift in China.
And again, you know, Chinese are looking for opportunities.
And so I think that's the biggest thing I want people to understand is that.
You know, when you're living in mainland China, you know, the government does not play a very large role in your life day to day.
You know, I mean, when you're going to a restaurant, you don't hear people talking about, oh, did you hear what the party said today?
Oh, did you hear about the government?
But yet it dominates our life here in the United States, right?
I mean, you can't go a day in the United States without hearing constantly about Donald Trump and then what the Democrats did.
And then, you know, gosh sakes, you know, once an election comes up, you know, for 18 months leading up to the election, it just dominates the news cycle.
American Freedom In China00:14:41
It consumes your life.
You're getting bombarded with flyers in the mail.
Text on your phone, vote, you know, and it's just, you know, it really consumes so much of it to the point where most Americans are like, I'm so sick and tired of this election nonsense.
Like, once it's done, I just want to, you know, turn off my phone.
You know, people in China, they don't talk about it, you know, because it's just like, yeah, we know the government's there.
They're doing their thing.
We're going to go about our lives, living normal lives.
You know, we're going to be working hard in our career, you know, spending time with our family, going on a holiday.
You know, it's a very normal life, you know, for most people.
And so I think that's, I just want people to understand that China is a lot more normal than you would probably think.
And that's one of the top questions I get.
What's it like living in a communist country, you know, like China?
And I was like, you know, people, are there soldiers on every street corner with rifles, you know, making sure you don't jaywalk?
No, not at all.
It's completely open.
But yet, that's just what we kind of have in our image, you know, very similar to North Korea.
You know, if you're in North Korea, yeah, you don't have a lot of freedoms.
You're locked down.
I mean, look at how tourists go there.
You have a dedicated tour guide.
You're allowed to see A, B, and C.
This is where you're going.
This is what you're doing.
Thank you very much.
Take a picture.
Now you go home.
And, you know, as we know, North Koreans have absolutely no freedom.
You know, they can't travel.
They can't.
Invest, they can't, you know, they're locked in there.
They have no idea what's going on outside in the outside world, whereas Chinese know everything that's going on outside in the outside world.
They have to because they are involved in trade with the whole world imports, exports, manufacturing.
But I'm really glad you already described some of what I wanted to ask you.
I want to ask you, do you feel suppressed?
Do you feel oppressed by the Chinese government when you're there?
And let me just add something because in America, the U.S. Congress, even under GOP control, just passed a law.
That every vehicle sold in America beginning in 2027 has to spy on you as the driver and it will watch you, it will track your biometrics and it will decide using American AI whether you are fit to drive.
Well, that, you know, for people who say, well, you're not free in China, well, buy an American car in 2027.
You're not free in America either.
You're being monitored and tracked before you're even allowed to drive the car that you purchased.
That sounds like communism in the American car industry to me.
But definitely does.
I mean, but do you feel oppressed in China?
Well, I'm going to give you a really interesting story here, Mike.
So, you know, I'm a United States citizen.
So when I go to China in the summer, like I'm going to next month, we're about three weeks away from flying to China.
Um, I will be entering China as a, you know, visitor.
And I'm a visitor.
I'm a United States citizen going to China for a couple of months, uh, you know, with my family.
All of us are foreigners.
We're all, all five of us in our family are, are foreigners, uh, you know, by our passports.
Now, the interesting thing is, is that imagine that China passed a law that said, if you are a foreigner coming into our country, we have the right to examine your five, your, your social media.
Over the past five years.
And if we find anything that we don't agree with, we are now not going to allow you into our country.
Now, would you consider that being oppressed?
Would you consider that being a little bit of an overreach from a government?
Yeah, I know where you're going with this.
Yes.
Right.
Well, that's exactly what the Trump administration has done.
Okay.
So now that's the key thing here.
So when I go to China, China does not observe my social media.
They do not look at my emails.
They do not look at any of my information.
And, and deem if I am, you know, if I'm acceptable to that society, I can enter in with a Chinese visa, you know, simply go into China, no problem.
But that the, the opposite cannot be said true about America.
Right now, if you are a foreigner entering into this country, you know, the under the Trump administration, they have the right to look at your last five years of any social media posting can deny you entry based on that.
So, you know, if you've sent out a tweet, you know, a negative tweet about Donald Trump and, you know, you could potentially be banned from coming into the United States.
Now I've, I've certainly sent out tweets about that, but I guess I'm okay because I'm a United States citizen.
We'll see.
But I mean, this is kind of, you know, it's an interesting one because if I were to change the words and say, this is what China's like, everyone would be like, look at this.
This is a massive, you know, oppression from the communist state.
You know, this is China, you know, just exercising this authoritarian, you know, power over people.
Oh, wait, sorry.
That was the United States.
I'm sorry.
That was the Donald Trump administration that passed that law that is now, you know, governing inside the United States.
So, you know, it's, you know, honestly, that's the big take of what I want people to see.
And this is what, you know, it is, is that your life in China is, Very normal.
People are going about their days.
There's a lot of happiness in China.
People always say, What's one thing you want the world to know about China?
It's incredibly normal.
Chinese people want the same thing that you and I want, Mike.
We want our families to be well.
Hopefully, our careers can advance.
We can make some money.
We can save some money.
We'd like to retire at one stage.
We like our children to live a better life than we did.
Hopefully, they get into a good school.
Maybe they find a good passion.
Hopefully, they find a good spouse that they can marry.
And that's what it's no different in China.
You can go to China right now.
There's people sitting at a coffee shop talking about the movie they saw last night at the movie theater.
They're on their favorite social media platforms interacting, sharing their content, travel vlogging, all of this.
And so that's the fun thing, I think.
And kind of a really interesting thing, I'll kind of end this segment, is just saying over the last two years, we've seen the Chinese government open up visa free for so many countries.
There are about 65 countries around the world that are now visa free to China.
It's honestly the best decision that the Chinese government's ever made because China is always a curious country to many people.
So as soon as they open up, for example, if you've got a European Union passport, you can go to China visa free for 30 days.
So, Europeans have been pouring into China because they can.
They can simply just book a flight and go now, as opposed to waiting to get a visa that would sometimes take one or two months to get, a lot of steps, money to pay.
Now there's no barrier to entry.
I can just book a flight like I can anywhere else and just jump and arrive and go spend a week or two there and go see it and go check it out.
And so, this is what this is honestly the best PR campaign that China's ever launched because now in 2026, China is on track to become the largest tourist economy in the entire world.
And actually, this is remarkable considering that the United States.
Is actually hosting the FIFA World Cup, the biggest sporting event in the world.
But yet, you know, we're actually not getting a lot of international visitors right now because of the chaos that's been unleashed inside the United States.
We have FIFA canceling thousands upon thousands of hotel rooms because guess what?
People aren't coming to these games.
And they said, okay, you know what?
We're going to release those hotel blocks before we get penalized for the cancellation.
So, I mean, this is what's happening right now.
This is the reality of the situation.
I think it was the Trump administration that said anyone who has criticized Israel won't be allowed to attend the games in the United States because that's where the Trump administration's censorship is focused now on controlling any kind of speech regarding Israel.
But let me give out your website here.
I think best known for your YouTube channel.
It's Cyrus Jansen.
That's J A N S S E N. Cyrus Jansen on YouTube.
And Cyrus, what do you want to tell us about your channel and what you cover?
And are there any other websites or places that you post?
You know, I do have a Substack that we post as well.
You can just always just look up my name, Cyrus Jansen, as the easiest.
But I probably, you know, YouTube is our primary vehicle that we use to get out information.
I do live streams, you know, a few times a week.
You know, we do deep dive videos into all things geopolitics.
So this channel started about five years ago.
And it started on as really talking about China.
You know, that's where a lot of my experience come from.
So you can actually see a speech that I did in Mandarin Chinese.
That's the home, home video there on the home screen.
But what I, what I, what I've been able to do is, you know, we've been very blessed over the last few years.
We've grown into one of the, you know, fastest growing geopolitical, you know, YouTube channels.
Uh, we're now talking about all things geopolitics, whether it's the Iran war, whether it's Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, you know, certainly United States, China, which remains a key focus of the channel.
But, you know, we do a lot of deep dive videos into all things geopolitics.
And I'm excited because I am going back to China for a few months this summer.
So you're going to start seeing a lot more vlogs on the street of me in China, those factory visits that you mentioned, things like that.
We're going to be kind of showing you a different side of China that, again, mainstream media will not show you, but we want to be on the ground showing you the truth so that you can make the best informed decisions about the world that we live in.
Well, that is very cool.
I'm so glad you're doing that.
And by the way, if you run into any companies there that want to demo their tech products to an American audience, Put me in touch with them because we're willing to purchase products.
We have a massive, we have a 5,000 square foot facility here in the studio that we set up to demo robots coming up.
Nice.
We are trying to acquire robots and we've reached out to a lot of Chinese companies.
And so far, nobody's, you know, said they want, they're ready to ship us a robot yet.
Okay.
I'll definitely keep that in mind, Mike.
I'll definitely see if I can help you out with that.
We want to acquire products and demo them.
And also, as we're wrapping up this segment of the interview, I just want to mention I would imagine that, you know, your spoken Chinese must be very, very good.
Mine is just so, so conversational.
But I still practice it though today when I'm exercising.
I try to keep up with the vocabulary.
But isn't it amazing?
I don't know if this is still the case, but you tell me are people in China still astonished to see a white person from America who can speak Chinese?
Is that still amazing or is that more common now that's not such a big deal?
Well, I think if you go to the bigger cities like Beijing, Shanghai, it's a little bit more common because there are a lot of foreigners that have lived there for a long time.
Time that speaks Chinese.
But certainly when you start traveling on the countryside or you go off the beaten path or you're riding that high speed rail and meeting some, you know, potentially some people from smaller cities in China, yeah, they absolutely are amazed.
And, you know, and I think what's fun, you know, living in China for over 10 years myself is that, you know, China is a very welcoming country.
You know, a lot of people always ask me this question, you know, what's it like being an American in China?
And incredibly, whenever you're a foreigner in China, the first question you always get is, oh, and he said, You know, where are you from?
You know, what kind of person are you?
You know, what's your nationality?
You know, I was like, well, Meghua.
You know, Meguo means, you know, Meguo is America, but the actual words actually means beautiful country when you directly translate that.
So, you know, Chinese people have always had a very positive image of China, I'm sorry, of America.
You know, they always look at the United States as a literally a beautiful country.
And every time you say, oh, I'm American, they always, oh, Meguo很好, Meguo很好.
You know, like, yeah, America's great.
You know, and so they always say that.
It's kind of funny too, because sometimes they'll follow that saying, you know, like, you know, I like your country, I like your people, I'm not a huge fan of your government.
And I say, don't worry about it.
Most Americans aren't afraid of, we're not a big fan of our own government either.
You know, and I always kind of share that joke with them.
But, you know, I mean, honestly, I've never been treated with anything but respect as an American.
If anything, I've been treated with more respect because I'm American.
And I had an interesting thing where my last visit, where the guy's like, oh, you're from America?
Thanks for coming to China.
Thanks for coming and being here and seeing, you know, coming to see it for yourself, you know, kind of seeing it and experiencing it yourself.
Because, you know, I know, a lot of Americans don't go to China.
You know, a lot of people think, oh man, I'm an American.
I go, I'm going to go to China.
I'm going to get arrested and spend the rest of my life in jail.
No, you won't.
I mean, unless you're planning to do something illegal and literally disobey the law, if you'd start importing narcotics, yeah, you definitely will be put in jail.
But yeah, I mean, if you go to have a holiday or just to go experience it and just go interact with the locals, you're going to have nothing but a phenomenal time.
I can guarantee that.
I feel more welcomed and safer in Taiwan or Hong Kong than I would feel in East St. Louis or East LA or Chicago.
I mean, it's not even close.
In fact, one of the people that I knew in Taiwan.
His name is Bruce.
He spoke just absolutely fluent Mandarin.
He's a linguist.
He left America because he got mugged in Chicago.
Yeah.
And then he moved to Taiwan and had a great life, you know.
And I've always felt welcome in Asia, in the different countries I visited, even, you know, Malaysia, Singapore, et cetera.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Generally speaking, I mean, throughout Asia, the level of safety is very high, no matter where you are in Asia.
It's always, you know, very good and kind of an interesting one as well.
I mean, we are in the United States right now.
I mean, we're obviously very concerned with the safety of our children.
You know, for example, we would not let them walk by themselves in a shopping mall in the United States.
It's just too dangerous.
You would never let your child do that.
However, in China, we do.
You know, we can be at a restaurant, and my 10 year old daughter says, Oh, you know, I'll say, Hey, you know what?
Hey, honey, I just ordered a cup of coffee at that shop across the way.
Can you go pick that up for daddy?
And she's kind of like, You mean by myself?
I'm like, Yeah, you can go by yourself.
We're in China.
No problem.
I mean, no one's going to bother you here.
Like, you're completely safe.
So for her, she's like, She thinks it's the coolest thing ever because she's like, Wow, and I'm in China.
Like, I can go get, Dad, a cup of coffee.
I can, I can, you know, and then she comes back and, like, do you guys need anything else I can get for you guys?
Because she's so excited to have that little bit of freedom, you know, just to be able to walk around by herself in the shopping mall.
We know that she's completely safe there.
There's nothing that's going to happen to her.
And that's kind of a unique freedom that is there.
And again, I always like to say that freedom means different things to different people.
Safety is a huge part of the Chinese culture.
You know, they value that, they treasure that.
And it is an extremely safe society that I agree.
You know, I live there and it's absolutely, you know, it puts your heart at peace.
Knowing that there's no gun violence, there's no homicides on the street, things like this.
This just doesn't exist in China.
So you can live a very good life.
You can be out at two in the morning in a city of 25 million people, wearing a fancy watch and having a bunch of cash in your pocket, and no one's going to bother you.
You wouldn't want to do that in Chicago or LA or New York, right?
You're going to be very mindful of where you are and what you're doing, and certainly try to get a taxi and jump in that taxi as soon as possible.
It's just different.
It's so dangerous in America that myself and others, we always carry guns.
I mean, I'm a Texan.
But it's because of circumstance, because of the things you mentioned, because there is so much crime in America, and then there's so much drug addiction, and there's so much looting and robbery and muggings that you're really forced to carry a firearm.
Whereas if we had the level of just civility that you just described, a lot of people would say, Well, I don't have that need anymore to carry that firearm.
Even though, of course, in America, we have the right.
I'm always going to carry a gun in America, but I wouldn't feel vulnerable walking around China without a gun.
Survival Amidst Supply Shortages00:05:38
You know, correct, right?
I wouldn't think, where's my go?
Oh, I left my Glock back in Megu.
You know, no, yeah, yeah.
All right, well, Cyrus, we're gonna wrap up.
This is part one of our interview.
Stay with us here.
