Rachel, you're right on the money, as usual. The US is an empire which rules out a democracy. You can't be an empire and a democracy at the same time. As you pointed out, our elites care more about taking care of it's empire instead of its own people and infrastructure. The US is always referring to Sovereignty and freedom while it over throws democratically elected govts such as the UKR govt in 2014. The US was the country that violated UKRAINE sovereignty not Russia and should've been sanctioned by the global community. I didn't like Biden but there's things about Trump I don't like either. He believes in a "zero sum" game in which to win someone has to lose. His mentality is to threaten, sanction, use tariffs to get his way. He comes across to me as a classic "bully". He's probably always gotten his way. He believes in competition instead of cooperation. I know I've said this before: out of a country of 334 million people, why can't Americans put a decent person in leadership. Why are they all billionaires. Why are the same families in positions of leadership. I think MSM has a lot to do with this. I have the utmost respect for people like Rachel Blevins. Thank you Rachel.
By the time any overseas Chip/Tech manufacturers return to the US and build the infrastructure to run their businesses.... Trump will be long out of office.
Rachel! thank you for all your programs, I truly appreciate and enjoy listening to you and your guests. Keep up with the great work. Your parents must be very proud of you.
The USA The UK and the Insane Top Brass at NATO aren’t ready for a War with San Marino never mind China Then Russia Then North Korea then Iran and then when all the little countries see them getting their arses booted they join the so called Bad Guys And Then The so called Crystal Clean Yanks Brits and NATO lose their Shit completely And start Nuking left right and centre and just to Be Absolutely Clear It Was all Russia and China’s FAULT. We can all use this statement as a comfort blanket as most of us are incinerated and the rest of us Plebs Die a Slow Horrible Excruciating Death by Radiation Poisoning not the way I had planned my Dotage but I will make Trump and Starmer Proud and Put My Boots On Before they Set the World on Fire. aye right!
This is what happens when you stupidly waste a taxpayer's money on a faraway war where you don't belong instead of investing that money in education in your own country.
Hello Rachel, love your videos. Would like to mention that manufacturing businesses left because they found much cheaper labor overseas. "Inviting" them back is a silly idea.
The shipping of production overseas was a political decision made by the bought-and-paid-for politicians way back. The government is now firmly in the hands of the oligarchs and manufacturing is not comming back...
The implications of AI are way overstated, there's only so much that can be done with it.
In the 80's it was Japan that was "taking over". My favorite author at the time (1986), William Gibson, wrote "Neuromancer", where there's an entire virtual reality existence that only very few are good at working in.
Our future will be a similar type of oligarchy to what we have now, with very few of us adroit with, or having access to "the matrix", like we have the 1%ers now.
"Artificial Intelligence" can be disrupted or booby trapped or weaponized in any number of ways.
For example, there will never be self-driving cars to any considerable degree, because the amount of data throughput is entirely impossible. Same thing with AI. And even if the datacom were possible, it could be hacked or blown up or something.
Elon Musk's Neural Link is crazy, because of the vulnerability it would create.
In Neuromancer they called it "jacking in", when they'd plug themselves into the Matrix with a jack implant to their brains. Bobby Newmark made his living by stealing "data", which was highly dangerous, because there were booby traps that would fry ones brain or lead them down a primrose path or so on and so forth.
As to the posit of the USA not being ready for war with China, Blevin's right for sure about that. I don't think we could even defeat Iran. China would sink all our ships in the first ten minutes.
Just goes to prove that content creators, like yourself, are at the mercy of the big tech companies' algorithms, most notably YouTube. I noticed that your videos on Russia-Ukraine get a ton of views but on Gaza, not so many. Is this YT or just what people want to watch. That said, the issue of YT banning creators seems to have passed, thank goodness, and you're well on your way to 100k subscribers.
As regards Chinese tech, a cautionary tale. The UK removed Huawei's telecoms infrastructure because US pressured them (as an aside, Canada wouldn't be the 51st State, that spot is already taken by Britain!). As a result, the mobile browsing speeds and reception are some of the worst in the developed world.
One of your best episodes! It is truly a shame that those who can see through the Deep State BS are the ones least likely to ever seek office or be in a position of power over it.
Thank you Rachel, I was looking for someone to explain this development concisely and you did just that. I think of Simon & Garfunkle’s song ‘ I am a Rock’. I feel so isolated here in America. They are so brainwashed. Americans believe they are still the greatest. In actuality our military is living back in the 80’s. Weapon systems that are designed only to make a hefty profit for the MIC. Our infrastructure is collapsing with no investments for five decades. Our economy has been carved out by multinational oligarchs. It will implode whenever it suits them. It is so sad. Americans cannot see this reality. There is so much to admire about America.

Thank you! Great points!
Russia is more a democracy than most nations because it not an empire. Same with Iran and China.
By the time any overseas Chip/Tech manufacturers return to the US and build the infrastructure to run their businesses.... Trump will be long out of office.
Exactly 🎯
A beautiful and great rant, you tied all the major points together.. 👌
Thank you very much! 😊
Rachel! thank you for all your programs, I truly appreciate and enjoy listening to you and your guests. Keep up with the great work. Your parents must be very proud of you.

Yeah but we have Admiral Rachel Levine! Take that China!

Great video and we again experience that there is a lot to learn from China.
Rachel goes from strength to strength.
