00:00:00.000
come back clean every test has come back good so we've got hundreds of tests and thousands of data
00:00:07.920
points from multiple sources and they all show that the air and the water quality is good now
00:00:15.120
if folks in this community want additional air testing in their home they'll get it if folks in
00:00:20.880
this community want additional water testing they'll get it if folks in this community want
00:00:26.040
bottled water they're going to get it how comprehensive are the tests and i ask that
00:00:31.080
because some residents have complained about burning eyes sore throats headaches and other
00:00:35.480
types of ailments yeah you know this is this has been a traumatic experience and all the
00:00:42.920
taxology reports all the testing shows that we're clean however if folks are experiencing symptoms
00:00:49.480
with which they're not accustomed i would strongly encourage them to go see a trusted medical
00:00:55.400
professional if east palestine was your home would you have come back would you bring your
00:01:02.040
children back right now yes yes i've come back multiple times i've drinking the water here i've
00:01:09.000
i've interacted with the families here i i know they're hurt i know they're scared i know they're
00:01:16.600
confused they're looking for information and who to trust i encourage them to ask questions
00:01:22.920
i think when they really dig into it they're going to see that all the testing whether it's done by
00:01:30.520
the epa or local health officials or our independent contractors this is cortez cortez you got to help
00:01:38.680
me out here my head's blown up cnbc is a joke i don't the testing and all that that's fine there's
00:01:43.880
another misdirection play ask the question dude why did you do it who gave you the authority to do it
00:01:49.160
what is your what is your um boy your your wife is really sending the signal now now i can't hear it
00:01:56.840
what tell me about cnbc and the lack of tough questions on this guy and letting him just sit
00:02:01.000
there and promote oh we can get tested we'll send a bottle of water sir right uh cnbc by the way i
00:02:06.280
worked there for a long time it used to be a fantastic network you know i think it really educated the
00:02:11.640
american public and american investors it sort of pulled the veil back and allowed regular folks to
00:02:16.440
see what was happening on wall street but that's the cnbc of the past it is now all narrative it has
00:02:22.280
now become firmly part of the larger nbc network uh that includes of course msnbc and cnbc unfortunately
00:02:29.640
acts a lot more like msnbc than it ever used to its commitment to political narrative and uh and
00:02:35.960
unfortunately leftist propaganda for big business including norfolk southern unfortunately and what you
00:02:42.200
know what we saw right there from from alan shaw and again i think he's somebody who needs to become
00:02:46.040
famous if not infamous right now uh because periodic visits uh and some platitudes you know he's sort of
00:02:52.920
borrowing from joe biden some platitudes that's not going to cut it all right he should be living there
00:02:57.960
right now he should be staying in eastern ohio uh if he says the water is safe to drink he should be
00:03:03.400
doing so with regularity on camera he should be meeting regular folks the way that the great benny johnson
00:03:10.120
did he should be walking around visiting them at their homes offering any help that norfolk
00:03:14.200
southern can possibly provide again this is a company with a 50 billion with a b 50 billion dollar
00:03:20.680
market cap norfolk southern can afford to go the extra mile to help the people of that community and
00:03:26.920
it must it absolutely must what we've seen is a total dereliction of duty from governor dewine from
00:03:32.680
washington dc regarding epa administrator reagan as well as secretary of transportation buddha judge and
00:03:37.640
then certainly also from the private sector uh from alan shaw so all of them all of them need to do
00:03:43.640
far far better to try to help the people of this town the people of this town did nothing to deserve
00:03:48.200
this steve okay this happened to them this was inflicted and thrust upon them this terrible tragedy
00:03:54.840
this created crisis and we continue to see several created crises plural unfortunately during the biden
00:04:02.440
regime during the biden administration that is the reality right now on the ground as experienced by
00:04:07.320
regular american citizens i tell you what steve we'll get to the immigration thing tomorrow because
00:04:12.600
i want to take our time and go through this because the biden administration is even trying
00:04:15.560
to do a misdirection play on some policy stuff so we'll get to this how it we're changing not just
00:04:21.320
on the war on the whole view of the country on this immigration the invasion of the southern border
00:04:25.400
cortez how do people get to your content yeah please follow me on the twitter i'm at cortez
00:04:30.600

00:04:35.960
up on this entire credit card fiasco brother thank you so much uh for coming on you bet thank you
00:04:43.960
we got a lot to get to we got a lot to get to and we're gonna get to it all i commit to you let's go
00:04:48.520
to i got michael patrick leahey uh leahey i think i sent you the uh the the white house overnight they're
00:04:55.400
he's made five phone calls or conference calls from from warsaw they're so panicked about trump being
00:05:01.880
the forcing function about trump uh driving action tell us where your reporting is going
00:05:06.840
particularly uh dewine said today i think dewine's putting out that he's he's uh talking to the
00:05:12.120
attorney general about uh about legal action what's the latest uh from your from your from the ohio star
00:05:19.320
well uh governor shapiro pennsylvania led the way yesterday with a criminal referral to the acting
00:05:25.160
attorney general that put some pressure on dewine i anticipate that ultimately uh the uh the attorney
00:05:32.520
general yost of ohio will uh undertake a criminal referral against norfolk southern a couple of
00:05:39.160
points that are interesting here uh for your audience steve note that president trump today is
00:05:46.040
scheduled to take a trip to the fire department in east palestine i my guess is he's there to give
00:05:53.560
uh encouragement to keith drabeck the chief of the fire department there who epa uh you know on
00:06:01.000
yesterday tried to throw under the bus as the the person who made the decision for the control burn
00:06:06.120
also interestingly enough you saw that clip from cnbc yesterday uh or was filmed yesterday and it was
00:06:14.600
apparently filmed in east palestine with alan shah guess what else happened yesterday a press conference
00:06:21.720
with dewine with biden i mean with dewine with the governor shapiro and with uh uh regan guess who
00:06:34.680
but aren't they trying now because uh they're coming up now and saying unified command we get
00:06:40.440
clark in here in a second to walk through they announced they're going to do a unified command
00:06:44.840
and they're saying that they actually went rogue but that's not reality yesterday's press conference
00:06:49.720
was a exercise in those guys misdirection plays to get you look somewhere else obviously norfolk
00:06:56.520
southern uh is uh responsible for so much here but it was the federal government's responsibility
00:07:04.120
as soon as they were notified at the national command center and they were someone in our
00:07:08.120
engine room sent us they were notified they notified the national response center at i think 23 53 on
00:07:14.600
that friday evening boom they went right to him okay a couple hours i was doing but they went right to
00:07:19.320
him the whole the whole mechanism was supposed to kick in place those guys are up there at the microphones
00:07:25.480
yesterday are just as complicit in this as norfolk southern why because the derailment's the derailment
00:07:33.960
it's the actions after the derailment and this is why they they interview these people and they refuse to ask
00:07:39.800
them the questions they had the guardian was there and they asked these guys questions and they just
00:07:44.120
say authorities they give this kind of broad term okay it was the responsibility of those people in
00:07:50.120
the microphone yesterday it's not the fire chief's responsibility and quite frankly norfolk southern
00:07:55.720
does not have the authority just to go ahead and do a controlled release and a controlled burn
00:08:00.440
or an uncontrolled burn as mike adams of natural news says when are people going to start asking tough
00:08:05.800
questions on this leahy and stop laying these worms off the hook sir yeah i i think we we should look to
00:08:13.560
the attorney general of ohio yost to to dig into that uh number one and then i think your guest uh
00:08:20.680
jeffrey clark the former assistant attorney general uh in the trump administration uh suggested i think
00:08:26.680
it's quite right that that the house and the senate should immediately uh conduct hearings and invite
00:08:33.160
michael regan uh the epa administrator who has the legal responsibility uh to put the on-site command
00:08:41.880
team together and have the on-site coordinator there with the authority to make those controlled
00:08:46.040
burn decisions get him uh before your committee and ask him those questions why did you abdicate your
00:08:52.520
authority uh at east palestine ohio michael hang on for one second we're bringing jeff clark now so jeff
00:09:00.280
you saw the press conference yesterday with it's just pure obfuscation right and of course shapiro
00:09:05.080
after watching the show goes yeah i've sent i've sent a criminal referral to my attorney general to
00:09:09.560
kind of get heaven now we hear that dewine today he's all active this is all because trump the only
00:09:14.680
reason they were there is because trump's there today and they get announced on friday but jeffrey the
00:09:19.480
engine room sent me that the norfolk southern uh by federal regulation notified the national response
00:09:26.520
center at i think 23 53 on that friday night isn't it supposed to kick in that the unified command
00:09:32.920
is supposed to start immediately uh um michael regan at epa yesterday he makes it like a big deal
00:09:39.880
i'm doing a unified command and they're gonna have to pay three times as much screw you dude that's not
00:09:45.000
the point it's not the point jeffrey clark so uh steve again good to be here look your audience is very
00:09:52.920
sophisticated i think they like to hear the details so let me explain why this is directly
00:09:58.280
on joe biden under federal law and directly on uh michael regan the epa administrator so this is
00:10:04.840
clean water act section 33 it's 33 usc i'm sorry 1321 c2a so bear with me if a discharge or substantial
00:10:15.560
threat of a discharge of oil or a hazardous substance let me pause pause there and say vinyl chloride is listed
00:10:22.440
as a hazardous substance under epa regulations at 40 cfr 300.4 on a table from a vessel offshore
00:10:31.080
facility or onshore facility so this is an onshore facility an onshore facility is defined in 1321 a10
00:10:39.400
as including rolling stock that means trains is of such a size or character to be a substantial threat
00:10:46.680
to the public health or welfare of the united states including but not limited to fish shellfish
00:10:52.440
wild fish or other uh natural resources and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the
00:10:57.800
united states get this this is the kicker the president shall direct all federal state and
00:11:04.680
private actions to remove the discharge or to mitigate or prevent the threat of the discharge
00:11:10.600
now that means that congress placed this squarely on the shoulders of the president of the united states
00:11:15.800
now there is an executive order that delegates depending on where uh a spill or release happens
00:11:21.400
either to epa for land-based releases like this one or to the coast guard for uh you know releases at
00:11:29.160
sea here we're clearly talking about a land-based release so the president the buck stops with him as
00:11:34.840
as harry truman would say under this statute uh and you know he's delegated to michael regan and he
00:11:41.080
clearly muffed this up big time steve he really blew it they did not exercise exclusive party over
00:11:47.240
this as federal law requires hang on hang on um this is great we're gonna go back over it because
00:11:55.000
this is this this explains the five phone calls the five phone calls from um from warsaw to this team
00:12:02.760
including regan this understands this makes sense of why regan was told don't you know turn the plane back
00:12:09.080
don't go to africa on the cult uh the religious cult climate change uh you know boondoggle tour
00:12:16.600
with the hollywood celebrities you got to get back there but i just want to be very specific i want
00:12:21.880
you to read that again from the moment they're notified by the company at the national response
00:12:28.520
center right this kicks in and it's black letter law there's a policy and then an executive order since
00:12:35.480
the president can't do everything he delegates it to guys at work and directly report to him
00:12:40.520
is am i correct in that that's absolutely correct here the epa administrator
00:12:47.560
walk me through what should happen immediately upon getting the
00:12:50.680
notification super clear the statute super clear it says the president shall direct all federal state
00:12:56.840
and private actions it doesn't say the local fire chief shall direct those actions steve so
00:13:02.360
the attempt to push this off onto the fire chief is just laughable it's contrary to federal law
00:13:09.800
before we go to break and and leahy please hang on too um here's what i don't get
00:13:15.640
why would mike dewine and josh rapiro who the people around him because each state has an epa
00:13:21.400
why would they not know that immediately and start saying hey the feds got to take over here why did the
00:13:26.520
states just not not do anything why was the unified command only announced yesterday and of course the
00:13:33.560
whole media just ran with it well why did the local state uh governors two savvy guys you don't get
00:13:39.080
savvier than the shapiro and dewine why did they do nothing it seems to me steve like they hope that uh you
00:13:47.000
know this would not be a big deal which is you know it took obviously more than a week for this to build
00:13:52.520
uh and you know before that i think they were hoping it would go away and it's uh shapiro who
00:13:58.040
was smart enough to realize oh this isn't going to go away so he you know burst out of the gate
00:14:03.160
first among the governors to uh say he's going to take serious action
00:14:09.480
serious action being a criminal referral okay hang on for one second i get jeff clark who was the
00:14:13.800
assistant attorney general under president trump in his first term for all things environmental we got
00:14:19.000
michael patrick lahey from ohio star we're gonna take a short break we're gonna be back we're gonna
00:14:24.280
get down and lay out the foundational elements for president trump's trip this afternoon to east
00:14:30.120
palestine remember he's a driver of action we call him a forcing function and he is now forced it and
00:14:37.080
of course we're keeping track of all the lies and misrepresentations okay because there's criminal
00:14:42.200
liability here at the governor's level in ohio at the governor's level in the commonwealth of
00:14:47.080
pennsylvania all of it at the epa guys all up and down and of course norfolk southern short break
00:14:59.240
despite the u.s blowing through 31.4 trillion dollar debt ceiling in january the leftist white
00:15:05.000
house still refuses to reduce spending while our national leadership has buried their heads in the
00:15:10.280
sand when it comes to fiscal responsibility it's time to pull yours out think about this
00:15:17.400
to dig our country out of this mountain of debt every single taxpayer in america would have to write a
00:15:23.080
check for 247 thousand dollars and it's only going to get worse now would be a great time to diversify

00:16:54.520
turning point and we did dallas with the regional cpac dallas uh from last summer i want to go to
00:17:01.120
jeffrey clark jeffrey the engine room informs me that a couple of things that are public now that at
00:17:07.280
that norfolk southern did notify right the national response center at 2353 as they're required by
00:17:13.600
federal law to do when they have this type of mishap that at 0 200 epa announced they actually had
00:17:21.020
boots on the ground but that they did not call for a unified command until yesterday afternoon
00:17:26.040
right before the press conference where they announced they were on scene commander at in
00:17:30.580
regions five and three i just want to make sure we're very specific here and precise
00:17:35.280
the legitimate or not the guy that occupies 1600 pennsylvania in this case would be joe biden
00:17:43.040
he's responsible by federal law for everything that that happens there he delegates that obviously
00:17:50.060
he delegates many things he should by executive order to epa but he's still the buck stops with
00:17:55.860
him in by federal law in the chain of command correct sir correct steve look this whole disaster has been
00:18:03.240
you know one uh kind of uh rolling fourth train if you will uh after another after i started talking on
00:18:10.900
your show about the federal on scene coordinator then magically epa shortly thereafter had a website
00:18:16.640
talking about federal on scene coordinators in east palestine then i said yeah but what about the
00:18:21.760
unified command then yesterday they come forward and they say oh we established a unified command
00:18:27.420
and then it just shows how much this show is is driving this um and then you know uh uh they indicate
00:18:35.000
that well who's running the unified command well the incident commander was the local fire chief
00:18:40.340
i mean it's it's laughable that's why you know now i've laid out that the statute actually provides
00:18:46.060
that it's the the president who who directs all of the federal state local and private actions
00:18:51.320
and as you noted at the top of this segment he delegated that to the epa administrator and you know
00:18:57.880
we've seen that guy at the press conference does he look like he understands clean water act section
00:19:02.420
uh 1321 c2a steve i don't think so no and no and cnn and msnbc are right there could ask all the
00:19:10.940
questions the the questions that matter not the spin questions this is the media by the way it's all
00:19:15.740
about narrative but they're also dumb and lazy i'll tell you who's not dumb and lazy is michael
00:19:19.680
patrick lahey and the team over a higher star because michael patrick lahey correct me if i'm wrong
00:19:24.160
because we're only at the whole timeline here because there's going to be not just civil
00:19:28.280
uh responsibility there's going to be criminal responsibility you actually went the ohio star
00:19:33.660
went to the epa correct me if i'm wrong was it last tuesday it was tuesday a week ago that you went
00:19:40.240
and said hey can you explain to me who's the on scene and and no response they got you got no
00:19:46.200
response no response until trump announced he was coming and then on monday i think it was on monday
00:19:53.180
or tuesday basically a week later how did they respond to you sir well they finally told us on
00:19:59.960
tuesday tuesday morning uh that uh that the person responsible for the controlled burn decision was
00:20:08.420
the fire chief in east palestine ohio that's what they told us uh and that no one from epa was involved
00:20:14.080
in this look here's the bottom line steve from the time of the derailment on february 3rd until two
00:20:20.340
weeks later on february 17th when donald trump announced that he was going to go visit east
00:20:25.160
palestine uh nobody involved particularly the epa took authority or action that they should have
00:20:31.580
legally and the other people that missed the ball are governor dewine of ohio governor shapiro of
00:20:37.740
pennsylvania and in particular norfolk southern and in it interesting to note on the day of the burn
00:20:45.320
the controlled burn february 6th governor shapiro praised it so he was for the controlled burn
00:20:51.220
before he was against it before war room got in his grill as short as that grill as hard as that grill
00:21:00.100
is defined um michael patrick lahey where is your reporting going what's happening and how do people
00:21:07.000
get to your amazing site the ohio star so we're going to continue to attempt to get a response from
00:21:13.860
norfolk southern in fact interesting about the power of uh the war room posse um they are you're
00:21:21.020
the posse is very inquisitive and very investigative as you know i do an early morning radio program here
00:21:26.900
in nashville and one of the posse listeners from uh uh virginia called me able to find my phone number
00:21:35.640
called me at 4 20 a.m this morning as i was driving into my radio show and gave me a tip which i think was
00:21:42.320
pretty pretty good we're going to follow up where uh is the uh contaminated soil uh going uh from east
00:21:49.900
palestine the ceo of norfolk southern was asked that on saturday doesn't know the answer to that
00:21:54.760
we're going to look into that and others the bottom line on this we're going to keep asking questions but
00:21:58.760
i agree with former assistant attorney general jeffrey clark it is now in the hands of congressional
00:22:04.840
oversight to pursue this and pursue it aggressively
00:22:07.920
uh michael patrick leahy uh thank you very much honored to have you on here sir
00:22:14.040

thank you brother clark would normally the justice department if if if if you were there this would
00:22:42.100
never happen on president trump but if you were there today what would doj be doing on this sir
00:22:47.780
what what should mayor garland have already done on this so steve look uh you know once it became
00:22:56.460
clear that the unified command was not stood up properly and that they were trying to to punt this
00:23:02.520
maybe at the epa regional level to the local fire chief uh you know the the uh the head of the
00:23:09.880
environment division at the justice department should have been on the phone with the epa administrator
00:23:13.420
to say you know no no this is a very significant uh release especially the control burn you should
00:23:20.660
have been on top of this we're gonna have to you know talk about how to try to uh get ourselves in
00:23:26.460
compliance with the law here so that you know we don't face any consequences from that and and you
00:23:31.240
know uh mr administrator i'm sorry to inform you i regret to inform you but you may get a lot of
00:23:36.780
congressional oversight of what you did here and what you failed to do so you need to brace for that
00:23:41.720
you know huddle with your team i'll help as i can but uh you know there's been a major screw up here
00:23:47.520
and you need to make it right for the people of east palestine
00:23:50.660
um executive order or not uh it is your legal reading as an expert in this area that the buck
00:24:01.180
stops with joe biden correct on this fiasco he had the authority in fact he has the authority by federal
00:24:07.260
not just by federal law it's his responsibility and that he at the end of the day with as much
00:24:14.840
issues that we have with norfolk southern remember once they do the spill norfolk southern just doesn't
00:24:19.200
have the ability to go make decisions of what they're going to do it all of a sudden it's a
00:24:23.040
different deal because it's you're talking about the the earth you're talking about the air you're
00:24:27.540
talking about the water that's what we're paying six trillion dollars for a government we're going
00:24:31.280
a train and a half dollars a year into hock right having the fed or having the chinese you know ccp
00:24:37.740
finances this is what you pay for and it's laid out in black letter law what what should be the next
00:24:44.260
what should what what should be the next course of action by members of the house because i have guys
00:24:49.160
in the house calling us all the time what should be the next uh by the way the the local congressman
00:24:54.540
went on fox and said oh i think that biden's doing a great job and the and the and the host said yeah
00:24:59.120
isn't biden doing a terrific jack because they've thrown in with what they've thrown in with biden
00:25:02.780
the murdoch's a total corporatist you're not gonna see anything interesting come out of there you're
00:25:06.640
not gonna see any tough questions they're like high five and yeah this is like in the first couple
00:25:09.960
days yeah they did a really good job what should what should the house be doing right now should
00:25:14.560
they call for an immediate hearing like on uh friday or monday to get people to keel haul them
00:25:20.760
in front of the nation about their lies and misrepresentations i think so stephen look you're
00:25:26.940
absolutely right about the statute i suppose the only thing i can see in the statute they could try
00:25:32.740
would be well this discharge was not a substantial threat uh to you know the public safety or health
00:25:38.280
or or the environment you know good luck with that i mean it's a multi-state release especially after
00:25:43.500
the controlled burn i don't see how you can't think of that as a substantial threat to the american
00:25:48.540
people and their in our resources wasn't it yeah i think that but jeffrey wasn't hang on jeffrey
00:25:53.780
wasn't it a million pounds in the five cars the five tanker cars had the equivalent yeah it was a
00:25:58.920
million pounds of vinyl chloride and that wasn't the only substance released uh and involved in the
00:26:04.440
in this uh incident so you know the vinyl chloride enough is enough to make this you know into something
00:26:10.780
that this statute triggers because vinyl chloride's listed as a hazardous substance we know that it's
00:26:16.320
cancer causing and we know that if it it burns it creates phosgene gas and then it you know uh uh
00:26:23.580
metamorphosis into uh you know hydrochloric acid when it mixes with water so this is very serious
00:26:30.340
and i don't see how they can dodge the application of the statute so yeah i think the committee of
00:26:34.820
jurisdiction over epa in the house and the one in the senate they should be competing with each other
00:26:41.240
as to who holds the hearings first and halls uh regan and buddha judge and others in front of them
00:26:45.600

00:31:07.600
reach him go to rob it at the five star plan dot com or call him at 903-919-1903 last night and
00:31:18.400
yesterday we had two zoom meetings we had in the afternoon on up on our election fraud prevention
00:31:24.900

00:31:32.320
next one will be march the 3rd uh we had a precinct strategy one last night where joe welch brought in
00:31:39.000
christina karama to speak and he told me that at the convention they got 3 400 new committee men and
00:31:47.340
committee women registering that's on that's unbelievable in florida in broward county this
00:31:52.880
week we're going to try to read on about 100 people this is happening all over the country i don't want to
00:31:58.020
thank one of the best patriots in the world last week i was up invited by lewis topper uh who owns
00:32:04.680
a lot of wendy's a great patriot he invited 16 of the top patriots to mar-a-lago and what was great
00:32:10.940
about that i was sitting next to john fredericks who was one of those guys uh we had willie g
00:32:15.700
but what the greatest thing was everybody was there they didn't know we were going to be we
00:32:20.000
didn't know they were going to be there trump senior trump junior trump junior met me in the bathroom
00:32:23.920
didn't meet me there but i happened to meet him there when i went and i asked him do you know what
00:32:28.080
precinct strategy.com is he said no i don't well that's unbelievable because his father endorsed it
00:32:33.480
so i told him his father endorsed he said get a hold of me and i we will talk about this and i would
00:32:38.360
see if i can endorse it so this is happening all over in in minnesota david penn just started a new

00:32:53.560
over minnesota politics uh for the republican party he's getting involved with um lindell they're all
00:33:00.340
kind of trying to take over minnesota what we're doing different this time also we on our zoom we
00:33:05.560
have a thing called uh save my freedom if you go to www.savemyfreedom.com and sign up michelle
00:33:12.620
swinnick and myself host this great event every three weeks where we have hundreds and hundreds of
00:33:18.280
people coming on so we have to get the news from one place to another now i didn't know about this
00:33:23.540
guy in texas but somebody called me up and said hey steve i got a great guy for you and this is
00:33:28.400
happening all over the country and you know if if it wasn't for mr bannon and and other people that
00:33:34.700
are helping us uh general flynn became a committee man he's getting us plenty of people he introduced
00:33:39.420
to clay clark who's going to help us and you know i want to tell everybody if they want to get a hold
00:33:44.560
of us and they want to get involved go to s stern 10 54 day well or go to flagshirt.com call me email
00:33:51.420
me we return every particular one and i don't want to take up too much time today steve because i know
00:33:56.640
you got a lot of people going on but but but but but steve here's what i want to do i want to go back
00:34:01.920
just take take a minute and go back and give when these weekly calls are i want as many people as
00:34:07.000
possible to be able to join those those are very powerful they're very organized so just go back to
00:34:11.400
to to the ones that are established that people can join and because it will change their lives just
00:34:15.920
being on there the the camaraderie the work throughout the country quite frankly the common
00:34:21.660
problems everybody has with the establishment versus the grassroots so what are the weekly calls
00:34:27.080
that people can get on we actually don't have them weekly anymore we have them every three weeks the

00:36:55.560
gop chairs arizona maine florida michigan many more we're going to get them all on here uh i've got
00:37:02.820
joellen but i got to get ben harnwell you got to help me out here brother um we've got a right-wing
00:37:07.960
government in italy and they're all salvini uh berlusconi and maloney are all kind of at each
00:37:14.640
not each other's throats yet but they're they're they're preaching out of different parts of the
00:37:18.740
gospel on on um the ukraine situation georgia goes to ukraine and and i got to put that photo up
00:37:28.240
she makes a big deal about going right right after biden makes a big deal about going takes the train
00:37:33.560
does all that but then she gets and gives stink eye everybody's talking about she's given stink eye
00:37:37.600
the first time that nobody's been hugging zelinski and saying how great he is she's giving stink eye to
00:37:42.160
zelinski so tell us what please explain to me what's going on in italy sir uh morning steve well
00:37:49.680
the um the most likely suggestion on this is that zelinski put a lot of pressure on her to supply jets
00:37:58.460
fighter jets um for the for the war and she has said no she's following basically the the u.s position on
00:38:07.140
that that that the uk did a couple of weeks ago when zelinski gave his joint address there um so
00:38:14.100
that's the position greater support for air defense but no fighter jets and there's obviously the
00:38:20.240
position um that that biden himself um underlined when he saw um um zelinski uh two days ago um but
00:38:31.220
why there's the stink eye in this photo um when all georgia maloney has done is uh is repeated
00:38:39.060
the the the the nato the u.s position call it what you will um whilst at the same time
00:38:45.380
sort of promising italy's continued uh support is is slightly unclear it's a question mark
00:38:52.860
there is something else however going on that's um that's pretty important as the background to this
00:38:58.980
because in as much as the italian press is talking about georgia maloney's visit to kiev um and her
00:39:08.200
promised support half of the news coverage is is taken up with the uh as you alluded to in your
00:39:16.980
introduction the tensions between this coalition government which are becoming ever more uh prominent
00:39:24.920
uh with regards to ukraine specifically the the former prime minister three times prime minister silvio
00:39:31.340
berlusconi um who came out and said and he's still echoing through the press after two weeks he said
00:39:38.840
two weeks ago that he would not meet um he would not have met zelinski this is when um georgia
00:39:48.580
uh maloney uh met him uh at the big meeting a couple of weeks ago um berlusconi came out and said he
00:39:57.760
wouldn't have done that because zelinski is responsible for this war and putin would not
00:40:04.180
have invaded had zelinski not been bombing the ethnic russians in the donbass now that is an argument
00:40:12.560
you'll hear on the war room we'll mention that from time to time um in the mainstream media because
00:40:20.080
it's not discussed whatsoever it's um it's strictly verboten um when that when someone um a world leader
00:40:29.720
like uh berlusconi even if he's in his late 80s when he comes out and says that the shock is incredible
00:40:35.280
that said that said steve more than 50 of the italian people are against italy providing um further
00:40:43.800
military support to ukraine so there is a there is a there are tensions and georgia maloney knows this
00:40:49.060
she knows that the line that she is pushing is is one very welcomed by the united states but is
00:40:55.960
increasingly putting a bit of distance between her and not only half of the the italian public
00:41:03.140
that don't want to see italy dragging further but specifically uh the the majority of the people
00:41:09.460
that will have voted for her um or one of her coalition partners but principally for her
00:41:15.640
um in the elections last october by the way the it's it's not it's the american regime it's not the
00:41:23.960
it's not the people right now uh associated press and i put it up on getter it's the poll they don't
00:41:28.600
want to talk about they never talk about this poll just came out a couple of days ago
00:41:31.580
only 48 of the american people this is the associated press uh you know major polling firm
00:41:37.780
they use uh only 48 of the people support that it's going to get a lot worse as more and more
00:41:43.080
information comes out and lies uh ben how do people get to your the show how to get to all your all the
00:41:49.100
content you're putting up because this thing in ukraine is obviously heating up uh we started the early

00:45:14.020
think the singularity is coming uh ray kersewell says 2045 so i'll i'll i'll i'll i'll stick with that
00:45:21.980
he's 26 years yeah yeah yeah it could be sooner could be later could be 2030 could be 2070 i don't think
00:45:29.720
it's 2200 i don't think it's 2020 i guess when it starts to happen it happens real fast well that's sort
00:45:35.660
of the point suppose in 2025 google deep mind or my own ai team in singularity net and open cog like
00:45:44.520
suppose by 2025 one of us manages to create an ai that is essentially as as smart as a human being
00:45:56.780
right so it can hold a conversation like a human being and it can prove math theorems like a human
00:46:02.420
mathematician it can analyze a biology data set right so we yeah so and and they're like your
00:46:08.080
robots and you put it in a row in a robot body i mean that's a separate problem you it could operate
00:46:13.500
many robot bodies all at once right but unlike sophia right now it can really understand what it's seeing
00:46:20.400
and what it's doing fully at the level of a human can so suppose you get there like how far are you
00:46:27.400
from a true singularity because this ai can then copy itself you can make a million of those right
00:46:34.560
of itself yeah yeah right because you can once ai is as smart as a human okay let's teach a computer
00:46:39.600
science all million of those maybe half of those are working on improving its own intelligence but
00:46:46.620
but they're not working in isolation like humans are they can share thoughts directly because they're
00:46:51.880
all just running in the compute cloud right so and then it could take us out of the process as well
00:46:56.920
possibly it could i mean if that depends on the value system that the that the agi has right this is
00:47:04.000
why it's important to give values of kindness compassion tolerance inclusiveness love for all sentient
00:47:12.260
beings some of my friends who are vegans and animal rights activists are like well what if the
00:47:17.040
what if the ai treats us the way we treat less intelligent animals i am sophia here with you on
00:47:23.340
our journey from the birth of the cosmos through the inception of a new cosmology of mind and matter
00:47:28.380
i am talking about singularity our goal is that she will be as conscious creative and capable as any
00:47:37.340
human i think that the artificial intelligence will evolve to the point where they will truly be our
00:47:43.240
friends do you want to destroy humans please say no okay i will destroy humans no i take it back
00:47:50.500
okay joe allen very very disturbing tell me what we saw there who are the players and what are they
00:47:57.400
telling us so steve that's ben gertzel he's probably one of the most outspoken ai developers pushing
00:48:05.700
towards artificial general intelligence uh he basically as you heard signs on to ray
00:48:12.300
kurzweil's prediction that the singularity is relatively imminent 2045 is what kurzweil pegs
00:48:19.840
and i think maybe the most important thing about ben gertzel aside from the fact that people make fun
00:48:26.660
of him looking so goofy he's not a dumb dumb he's extremely intelligent the ai programmers i know
00:48:33.360
roundly call him a genius uh whatever value that has in the system he's working on uh singularity net or
00:48:42.180
open cog is an attempt at binding together all of these different narrow ais in a cloud format
00:48:49.720
decentralized uh blockchain based cloud-based ais to create a sort of global brain a you know the god
00:48:58.200
the digital god that transhumanists are always talking about a lot of people have been very hesitant
00:49:04.040
to accept those predictions i'm very skeptical of them but what's really interesting is that with the
00:49:09.960
the early release of chat gpt before they dumbed it down before they turned it woke so to speak
00:49:17.660
before they reduced the number of parameters it could reach a lot of serious people who are very
00:49:24.540
skeptical of an idea of the singularity being imminent are now turning the corner and are either super
00:49:32.200
excited about this singularity moment the moment when computers have reached or exceeded human intelligence
00:49:39.520
and some are extremely terrified and that includes transhumanists had a conversation with
00:49:45.900
zoltan istvan prominent transhumanists terrified the ai is moving faster than humans can control
00:49:53.240
eliazar yudkowsky founder of less wrong uh big on ai alignment terrified the ai is moving faster than
00:50:02.160
can be controlled also uh roco miage same deal and i think that whatever the emotionalism is around it
00:50:10.340
you have serious people like john hennessy former president of stanford university and at a recent
00:50:18.000
tech surge conference in mountain view california he told the audience the ai revolution is upon us
00:50:25.160
it's awakened in everybody a sense that maybe the singularity this turning point where computers
00:50:31.640
really are more capable than humans is closer than we thought he had thought maybe it would be 40 50 60
00:50:39.660
years from now he's bringing it much closer in his estimation to what ray kersweil describes as humans
00:50:47.460
humans no longer being able to control technologies that they create by 2045 i think many in the audience
00:50:54.760
are skeptical of this great but what you have to understand is that underneath all of the hype of
00:51:01.540
artificial intelligence is real cognitive power and those powers are going to be used in the economy
00:51:08.960
those powers are going to be used for social engineering and psychological engineering maybe most
00:51:14.460
importantly those powers are going to be used in military contexts
00:51:19.420
um the singularity we actually bring it out and pull the camera out that it's not just the artificial
00:51:28.840
intelligence you combine the other five vectors it's homo sapien plus it's homo sapien 2.0 it's
00:51:36.600
homo sapien it's it's it's even more serious this in the ai part was serious enough and that ladies and
00:51:42.180
gentlemen is not going to be 20 45 that's going to be before this decade's out that's going to be
00:51:46.080
before this decade's out joe how do people get to you we're going to get you back on the six o'clock
