EXCLUSIVE: GOP Rep Introduces Bill To Protect U.S. Infrastructure From Chinese Threats
'Secure our critical infrastructure'
Whispers of a new terrifying Chinese AI ‘species’ ripple through tech circles
When China rolled out DeepSeek-R1 back in January, it sent shock waves through global markets and triggered a significant sell-off in American stocks, as it performed just as well, if not better, than U.S. models but could be produced at a fraction of the cost.
Now there are rumors of an R2 model that isn’t just smarter than anything we’ve ever seen before; it’s an entirely different kind of artificial intelligence that other leaders in AI development haven’t even fathomed.
“It is a completely different species of intelligence operating on principles nobody in the West has even theorized yet,” says Glenn Beck, reading from a social media post by an anonymous account that goes by the name @iruletheworldmo, who is speculated to be either “an insider in one of the big AI research firms” or “a bot” created to mislead other researchers.
“Research gives it questions, and it invents entirely new branches of mathematics to answer them. One physicist showed it a problem he'd been stuck on for 15 years. It solved it in seconds with notations nobody recognized. It took three days for them to translate its solution back into standard mathematics,” Glenn continues reading.
The anonymous source also claimed DeepSeek Labs in China is developing brain-enhancing technology, including two-way neural interfaces “that make Neuralink look like child’s play” and is already at the stage of human trials. The source then warned that while China sees this as a civilization-changing race, the U.S. is lagging behind, treating it like a standard tech competition.
If everything in the post is true and China’s DeepSeek AI has indeed reached such capabilities, we’re in trouble. However, there’s also the possibility that “it's a Chinese bot” stirring up fear.
The fact that we don’t know “is the craziest part,” says Glenn.
Even if the account is lying and DeepSeek AI is nowhere near as advanced as the post indicates, that doesn’t change what’s coming: “AI is going to get so good, it will predict absolutely every move that everybody's going to make,” says Glenn.
Just last week, Mass General Brigham unveiled an AI tool that can apparently assess your health by examining a selfie. Dubbed FaceAge, the system can estimate a person’s biological age, analyze features like skin texture and muscle tone to predict health outcomes, spot signs of cancer, and even predict cancer patients’ survival outcomes.
“How great is that?” asks Glenn, adding, "How terrifying is that?"

Democrats pick Beijing over Trump in shocking trade war poll
In a development that would have shocked most Americans just a decade ago, a new poll shows more Democrats now hope China wins the trade war with the United States than want their own country to come out ahead. That’s not exaggeration. It’s not spin. It’s a brutal fact.
A national survey I co-authored for the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found that 32% of likely Democratic voters want China to prevail, while just 30% say they support the Trump administration in the conflict. Another 38% say they’re unsure.
The poll should serve as a wake-up call. We are not just facing a battle over policy. We’re engaged in a war over the very soul of our country.
By comparison, 88% of likely Republican voters support the Trump administration in the trade war. Among voters who identify as politically unaffiliated, just 16% favor China over the United States.
Think about that. A growing number of Democrats would rather see a repressive communist regime — one that jails political dissidents, censors speech, and persecutes religious minorities — defeat America in an economic showdown, simply to spite Donald Trump.
This isn’t just disturbing. It’s un-American.
The poll results reveal a troubling reality about today’s left. Partisan hatred has overtaken even the most basic sense of national loyalty. It’s no longer about what helps America — it’s about what hurts Donald Trump, even if that means handing a strategic victory to our greatest geopolitical adversary.
This debate isn’t about tariff policy. Reasonable people can disagree on trade. This is about cheering on a totalitarian regime simply because it opposes a U.S. president. That’s not ideology — it’s pure partisan spite. And it should alarm every American who values country over party.
Some might dismiss this as ignorance. But the survey suggests something deeper. Everyone understands what the Chinese communist regime represents. This is the government that covered up the COVID-19 outbreak, steals hundreds of billions worth of U.S. intellectual property annually, and props up its economy with forced labor.
Yet, a large share of Democratic voters would still rather see China win a trade war than watch Trump succeed.
This is the rot at the core of the modern progressive movement: a deep, pathological loathing for everything that even resembles traditional American values — capitalism, strength, independence, and yes, national pride. That’s why so many on the left can’t bring themselves to cheer for a U.S. victory in a confrontation with a foreign adversary.
The poll should serve as a wake-up call. We are not just facing a battle over policy. We’re engaged in a war over the very soul of our country.
It’s no longer enough to assume that all Americans, no matter how fiercely they disagree, are on the same team when it comes to defending our national interest. That assumption is now demonstrably false.
The fight for the future of the United States is not just happening in Washington — it’s happening in the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens. And based on this data, that fight is far from over.
How Trump’s Covid-Era Tariff Policy Could Help Small Businesses Like Mine Reshore
Small businesses reliant on imports often lack the financial capacity to absorb steep tariffs on the goods they need to survive.Inflation dips to 4-year low despite trade war hysteria: 'Americans are breathing a sigh of relief'
Inflation dipped to a four-year low despite tariff uncertainty, indicating consumer prices have barely been affected by President Donald Trump's trade war.
The annual inflation in April fell to 2.3%, which is the lowest rate since February 2021. Although Trump's tariff policies sparked fears that prices would skyrocket, the annualized inflation rate during Trump's second term so far is only at 1.6%, which is considerably slower compared to former President Joe Biden's term, which saw an 8.6% annualized inflation rate during the first 18 months.
Trump also struck two trade deals in the last week with the United Kingdom and China, alleviating consumers' concerns about market volatility.

Americans are also enjoying lower costs for essential goods like gas and groceries. Average energy prices have fallen about 1.5% since January, and food prices declined in April for the first time since Trump was president in November 2020.
The cost of apparel also fell 0.2% in April despite a slight 0.4% uptick in March. Automakers are also relatively unaffected by tariffs, with the cost of new vehicles remaining unchanged, while used car prices fell by 0.5%.
"For the last several years, hardworking families have faced an affordability crisis," Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement Tuesday. "Finally, with [President Trump] at the helm, Americans are breathing a sigh of relief — every dollar is going further and workers are able to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks!"
