Tech companies say AI is replacing workers. But the truth is darker: they're using AI as a PR cover to strip benefits, cut payroll, and rebuild the workforce as gig labor.

This is not innovation. It's reclassification.

Yesterday, we were 90 minutes away from the 8:00 PM ET deadlinewhere Trump threatened that a "whole civilization will die." While Iranians formed human chains around their power plants, the world braced for a nuclear-capable escalation. But at the final hour, we got a 14-day ceasefire and a pivot to what Trump is calling the "Golden Age of the Middle East."

In this video, you'll learn the Iran 10-point plan that Trump has called a "workable basis." We're looking at whether this is a path to peace, or if the "Mad King" just realized he's cornered. Is the US actually paying Iran for the privilege of leaving? We break it all down!

Don't let up. The bombs have paused, but the madness hasn't. Our representatives are on a two-week vacation while the future of global security is being traded for a headline. We need the 25th Amendment or a War Powers Act invocation today to ensure this isn't just a reset timer for more horror.
