Season 6, Episode 4 of Jason in the Morning covers three very different stories tied together by one question: who controls the systems meant to protect us?

Jason starts in Iran, where the government claims nationwide protests turned violent to invite foreign intervention, even as reports describe a brutal crackdown, mass arrests, and a country under information lockdown.

Then we head to China, where engineers have built a massive hypergravity centrifuge capable of simulating thousands of years of physical stress in minutes—technology that could reshape infrastructure safety, materials science, and long-term national resilience.

Finally, we turn to the UK, where regulators are investigating Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok after reports it was used to generate non-consensual and illegal images, raising urgent questions about privacy, platform responsibility, and how fast AI is outrunning the safeguards meant to protect real people.

From streets to labs to screens, this episode is about power, pressure, and the consequences when oversight lags behind force.
