00:00:00.000I don't know if Ken Paxton said he's going to stop negative ads on television.
00:00:04.240His PAC has vowed to do the same thing.
00:00:06.620Will you do that, or how do you feel about him saying he's going to do that at this stage in the race when it's not over?
00:00:11.280You know, judgment day is coming for Ken Paxton, maybe in more ways than one.
00:00:18.500But the election on May the 26th is the first time he will actually have been held accountable for all of his misdeeds.
00:00:26.700He lied to his senior staff who turned him in to the FBI because he was interfering with a federal investigation of his campaign treasurers.
00:00:37.740When he fired them, they became whistleblowers, sued him, and got a $6.6 million judgment against the state of Texas.
00:05:05.320Caroline, thank you for joining us from the airport.
00:05:09.040First of all, I've got to deal with Cornyn.
00:05:11.700The president comes out and endorses Paxton in a 750-word magnificent that goes back to the beginning of all the work that we've done together and how Ken Paxton has stood for him.
00:05:23.280And yet Cornyn comes out here and says, judgment day is coming.
00:05:29.420Idiot, this is all so stupid. By the way, Paxton was already up 11 points per every single poll. There was a poll with him up 10, another one with him up 11. So even if Trump hadn't endorsed, he was absolutely going to squash John Cornyn.1.00
00:05:40.980And so now these senators are revolting against Trump and his agenda because he endorsed Ken Paxton when it wouldn't even, like, Cornyn was dead, done. He died the moment that he betrayed the voters of Texas consistently for not only the last, I would say, eight years, but the last 24 years that he has been in office.
00:05:57.840And so they are now throwing a pity party and obstructing Donald Trump and his agenda over John Cornyn's already dead campaign.
00:06:06.320So I hadn't broken the news yet for the Warren Posse audience the afternoon, and we're not making this up.
00:06:13.340The Senate, John Thune, because of this, because of the hate and discontent about the Cornyn situation, John Thune has told the House, the Senate, he's released them.
00:06:24.920And so all these desperate measures we need to have done, including the funding, the permanent funding of DHS and ICE and Border Patrol, they're all gone.
00:06:41.120And because, and this is why it is, Cassidy and Cornyn is the reason these guys are up in arms against the president of the United States.
00:06:47.800A president, I might add, Caroline Wren, that if he was not on the head of the ticket, two-thirds of these guys would not be in the Senate today, ma'am.
00:06:58.000I am so disgusted by these Republican senators right now.
00:07:04.100They're claiming it's because the Trump administration announced a DOJ weaponization fund to take care of people who are wrongfully targeted by our own government.
00:07:12.720Remember, these are the same senators that just a few months ago approved a provision for senators to collect a $500,000 taxpayer-funded payout because their phones were seized.
00:07:23.480But God forbid a grandmother praying outside an abortion clinic gets a small payout from this new fund.
00:07:28.740All of a sudden they oppose it and want to shut down the entire government over it.0.98
00:07:41.060Like these Republicans, I mean, with Biden, Biden was comatose and every Democrat senator held the line past the past his agenda and told us, oh, no, he's totally fine.
00:07:51.320But like, God forbid someone outside of those dinosaur senators could get a possible payout and they all melt down.0.97
00:08:58.060Yeah, these senators, what they're doing is just absolutely awful because, look, Trump won their states overwhelmingly, the ones opposing this.
00:09:05.740Louisiana, Trump won 60% of the vote. Kentucky, 65% of the vote. Texas, 56% of the vote.
00:09:11.520So when you're protesting, you're just protesting the own people that elected you to be in office and claiming that you're doing it for the good of what?
00:09:18.940I don't even know. And Trump is not even asking you to do something insane.
00:09:22.320He's asking you to do what the entire Democrat Senate caucus has already publicly said they plan to do, which is nuke the filibuster and get his agenda passed and get Save America Act passed.
00:09:32.740And so, frankly, my idea now is, you know what we should do?0.84
00:09:34.900We should attach the Save America Act to the CODEL funding because those senators, that is all they care about is being able to go on these stupid CODELs and fly around and give out slush fund money of their own,0.96
00:09:44.100which a.k.a. is the money that Elon and others tried to shut down with Doge, their precious foreign aid,0.90
00:09:49.680attach the Save America Act to their foreign aid and their CODEL funding,
00:09:52.560and then maybe we can actually get it through because that's the only thing that they care about.
00:09:57.180President Trump, who's basically going to campaign up for Lawler,
00:10:00.500we're going to go to the White House momentarily, McCabe, he's working this weekend.
00:10:05.760He's going up to campaign with Mike Lawler to make sure that House seat is held.
00:10:10.140He's going to sit here and work the entire rest of the weekend.
00:15:42.740Right now, Tax Network USA is offering a completely free IRS research and discovery call to show you exactly where you stand and what they can stop before it's too late.
00:15:56.000Their powerful programs and strategies can save you thousands or even eliminate your debt entirely if you qualify.
00:17:18.720Joe, you've been working very hard on this, and we're going to get into the reason, at least what the president said, they're not doing the executive order.
00:17:24.980Let's say it's not quite aligned with the war room policy.
00:17:57.200We're going to have both Cleo Pascal is going to be out, as she normally is or oftentimes is, in the Pacific, in the Western Pacific.
00:18:05.400She's going to be in, she's just been at Peleliu, and we're going to talk about the Battle of Terawa in Peleliu.
00:18:12.700And today, and we're going to also bring in an individual, leads a group that's still bringing the remains of the Marines that fought and died in Peleliu and Terawa back home.
00:18:54.140In addition, I want to make an announcement on Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
00:19:00.780And we're going to have special coverage here in the Wyrm, our normal 10 to noon, but we're also going to go to 2 o'clock to make sure we get everything that's happening with the President of the United States in Memorial Day commemorations.
00:19:11.940I want to thank Real America's Voice for helping us make all this happen.
00:19:15.720And, of course, our own crack team at the Wyrm.
00:19:18.300It's going to be a really special weekend.
00:19:20.860Neil McCabe, I got to start with I'll get to Arlington in a second because today was a big day.
00:23:53.020Because the reason he's gotten zero recess appointments is the Senate has not been in recess one day, one minute since President Trump's been president all the way back to 2017.
00:24:08.620By the way, great job at Arlington today.
00:24:10.780Tell people what's going on with the Old Guard, the 3rd Infantry Division, the historic 3rd Infantry Division.
00:24:16.380What are they doing today to basically prep Arlington National Cemetery for the commemoration that we're going to have over the next couple of days?
00:24:26.300Yeah, if people want to learn more about the old guard, the 3rd Infantry Division, excuse me, 3rd Infantry Regiment, they should check out that Francis Ford Coppola film, Gardens of Stone.
00:24:36.080These are the young infantrymen and women who take care of the graves.
00:24:41.740They're the ones who are at the Tomb of the Unknown.
00:24:44.900They're the ones who ride the horses and the caissons.
00:24:48.500They're the ones who do the bugle calls every day, all the time.
00:24:52.740There are military funerals going on at Arlington.
00:26:12.540I'm so glad you brought up Gardens of Stone because I don't think it gets enough.
00:26:16.540And particularly, I think it was Jimmy Kahn was was the star of it.
00:26:20.280But you're right. That's a that's a perfect movie, but a very good.
00:26:24.280It tells you about the old guard. You really get the inside of what's going on.
00:26:27.760Neil McCabe, thank you for doing the coverage at Arlington National Cemetery today.
00:26:32.340Thank you for doing the White House coverage. Appreciate you, sir.
00:26:34.800What's your what's your social media, Neil, so that people can keep up to date even when you're not up here in the worm on the other great shows at RAV?
00:26:45.580You can find me on all the socials at Reporter McCabe. Thanks for having me on.
00:30:00.020Text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to the number 989898
00:30:04.2009898 to join Birch Gold's Learn and Earn Precious Metals event by April 30th. Text Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N
00:30:12.260to 989898 and do it today. Yeah, we had been all set up for this signing ceremony for the executive
00:30:20.020order was expected this afternoon. Some of all the biggest AI companies and their executives had
00:30:24.800been invited to come to the White House to be part of this ceremony. And we know, according to my
00:30:28.980sources, that a lot of the major AI companies had been talking to the White House extensively about
00:30:33.560the details of this executive order. And then just a few hours ago, we got word that it was
00:30:38.020postponed. And now we're hearing from President Trump himself. He's saying he was the one
00:30:41.840that decided to postpone this, saying that he was worried that it would hamper
00:30:45.360the AI industry. Take a listen. I didn't like certain aspects of it. I postponed it. I think
00:30:53.040it gets in the way of, you know, we're leading China. We're leading everybody. And I don't want
00:30:57.860to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead. We have a very substantial on AI.
00:31:03.140It's causing tremendous good, and it's also bringing in a lot of jobs, tremendous numbers of jobs.
00:31:10.820Again, we have more people working right now than we've ever had.
00:31:14.020I really thought that could have been a blocker, and I want to make sure that it's not.
00:31:20.040So I had been spending the last couple of days talking to my sources across the industry on what was in this executive order.
00:31:26.080And one of the biggest aspects in this executive order was that there would be a voluntary framework
00:31:30.360where these AI companies would submit their models for government review up to 90 days before they are publicly released.
00:31:37.440There was also calls to get more federal technology workers.
00:31:40.780And we know, again, that these AI companies were heavily involved in working on this executive order with them.
00:31:46.880You know, the reason that the government wants to have potentially access to these models before they're released
00:31:51.840is, as we're seeing with some of these new models in the last few weeks and months,
00:31:54.940is that their cyber capabilities in particular, their ability to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities,
00:32:00.680especially in really critical infrastructure, you know, like the power systems, like the banks, they are unprecedented.
00:32:06.220It's like having a team of millions of hackers being able to work 24-7 to find these vulnerabilities.
00:32:12.800So you can see why the government would want to have a hand in reviewing these models before their release,
00:32:16.860being able to shore up their own defenses, help important industries like banking shore up their defenses as well.
00:32:21.960Now, I do know, according to my sources, there was a bit of push and pull between the industry and the White House, especially on the time period.
00:32:28.240How long do you give the government to look at these models before the release?
00:32:31.720I have to tell you, 90 days is a lifetime when it comes to the AI industry.
00:32:35.900These models are developing so quickly that within 90 days, you might have two or three new versions of these models coming out.
00:32:41.980I know that the industry was pushing more for a 14-day review period.
00:32:45.580So there was some push and pull both from the industry and from the White House.
00:32:48.760But now we're hearing from President Trump himself that he had issues with this executive order.
00:32:53.460And it goes to show that there's still a pretty big split between the government of how much of a hand is the government going to have in potentially not even this wasn't even regulating.
00:33:02.280This was a voluntary framework that the that the A.I. companies were going to voluntarily give their models.
00:33:07.580But I think from President Trump, he's saying there was such a fear that any sort of framework from the government was going to hamper the A.I. industry.
00:33:14.580And there is an arms race with China right now when it comes to A.I. model development.
00:33:18.260And that's why President Trump said he wanted to stop this executive order, at least for now.
00:33:23.940President Trump, in the trip to China, can anybody have been more magnanimous?
00:33:46.360But today, you know, you've got this big picture in the, let's pull that camera, in the Financial Times of London, my favorite paper, Law of the Jungle, China's Xi warns against unilateralism days after Trump's visit.
00:34:45.220And President Trump, right here, after you were so good, so classy, reached out to them, couldn't have said better things about she, a good man, everything like that.
00:35:40.960a star in your own humble way you don't try to be a star just your hard work but the the orbit of
00:35:46.280people you've brought of course and of course many people that let's say this are not exactly into
00:35:52.060MAGA do not support many of the policies that we we do but they understand that this is a fight
00:35:57.980of such importance that we have to come together uh Daniel Cochran you had on today and Daniel
00:36:04.600joins us right now because of that polling I think it's a big deal and look the president's
00:36:08.700sitting there. The president is an accelerationist. It can't be anything. And that's not the end of
00:36:13.780the world. The president is the accelerationist. We have different ideas, right, about how we
00:36:18.740handle. We don't want to lose innovation and we don't want to lose the lead. But this is a very
00:36:24.860dangerous technology, as the president says. And he says it over again, as dangerous as nuclear.
00:36:30.740He still puts nuclear at the top. But because this could be a triggering mechanism, it's very
00:36:35.480dangerous what exactly happened today in your mind you've been working this non-stop and right
00:36:40.660we were hammering this on the show and literally right before we got off and went live to the
00:36:45.800president in the oval for the epa and lee zeldin they just said hey look upon further review no
00:36:53.140executive order today i mean steve there's no other way to interpret it to my mind other than
00:36:58.820the pressure that he's getting from all of these tech accelerationists and anyone else who stands
00:37:05.540to profit from or benefit from the technology like wall street with these stocks on fire you know and
00:37:10.760it's it's you've got a dichotomy there right because you've got people like scott bessett
00:37:14.840and you have all these different banks who are very very concerned and they would like to see
00:37:18.700something done but you have a lot of other elements and just from his own statements that
00:37:23.760his concern, the president says that by blocking these industries, we might lose our lead against
00:37:31.080China. So that whoever got to him is pushing this. I want people to understand, as we said
00:37:35.620today, that we put the letter out and helped with Amy Kramer and the Humans First guys on the letter
00:37:40.900and put our name on it, that we believe this had to be mandatory, not voluntary. And it had to have
00:37:47.880some sort of regulatory apparatus that approved it in the 90 days. We didn't think it was long
00:37:52.640up a fine but it had nsa and the intel and the cyber guys i just want to be one the president's
00:37:57.280saying no uh war room you're wrong that's too much yeah i i believe that i'm i'm siding with
00:38:03.740the tech bros i think that anything that could intrude upon their creativity including it's not
00:38:10.16090 it'll be 12 right it will be not even voluntary they won't even say voluntary they'll just keep
00:38:16.620that as something open he's he's pretty adamant as we stand now because there's a concern about
00:38:22.480china is that anything that does anything to the tech bros is not acceptable well what you have
00:38:30.140is a situation where the president is between these moneyed interests and these guys who are
00:38:35.080in command that would be the rock and these guys who are in command of what they believe to be the
00:38:40.880most powerful technology ever created on the other side you have the american people and you see
00:38:46.020that's the hard place it really yeah you had you see it reflected in the polling that daniel
00:38:50.720Cochran brought to us from the Institute for Family Studies. You see it reflected across the
00:38:55.860board in polling. You see it in Wall Street Journal. You see it in Gallup. You see it in Pew
00:39:00.940over and over and over again. When the American people are asked, how do you feel about artificial
00:39:04.800intelligence? Either a large majority or the vast majority, depending on the topic, say,
00:39:10.780I am uncomfortable. I don't believe that this will lead to an ultimate benefit. And many of them are
00:39:16.040just absolutely terrified so if this is a democracy or anything like it then clearly the
00:39:23.540will of the people need to win out and this is where the president has to make a decision this0.91
00:39:27.180is going to be a process and it's between a rock and a hard place cochran come in here man you're
00:39:31.420you're polling and i want you to take a second and go through the depth of it how big it was
00:39:35.720the different questions you asked because this had this played a this had a that you were a
00:39:41.320difference maker today, sir. Well, thank you, Steve. And great to be with you as well, Joe.
00:39:47.620Our polling, as you suggested, found overwhelming support for AI safeguards. 82 percent of Americans
00:39:55.800support mandatory safeguards. And then breaking that down, it's something like 79 percent of
00:40:02.780Harris voters and 90 percent of Trump voters support those safeguards. And specifically when
00:40:09.160we talk about safeguards we mean mandatory safety testing of frontier ai models prior to release
00:40:15.460now our poll um they it asked it asked voters about a variety of different risks that they
00:40:22.120but hang on but hang on hang on hang on hang on i want to be very clear i want to go back to that
00:40:27.100because you asked a lot of times they try to hedge these questions in these polls i want you to read
00:40:32.760the question again you asked a very direct question and you got 90 of trump voters came back
00:40:38.640and said, yeah, we agree. Just read the question and tell me what the results were.
00:40:43.940The question specifically that we asked voters was, do you support mandatory safety testing
00:40:52.340for frontier AI models? And we got overwhelming, 82% of all Americans said yes. And we were asked
00:41:02.800in the context of, would you support the White House using its executive authority to require
00:41:08.140this? They said yes. So this wasn't about a voluntary framework. This was really about
00:41:13.160Americans saying, no, we want AI tested like we test pharmaceuticals, like we test drugs,
00:41:19.540like we test all kinds of other things, automobiles, before we put them on the road.
00:41:24.000Americans are saying we want safeguards in place before this stuff is put out to the public.
00:41:30.260Cochran, hang on one second. When the media first got, that was one of the leaders on the letter.
00:41:35.860Their very first thing is that, ah, this is Bannon trying to give Trump more power because people are saying they want the White House involved and they want it to be mandatory, not voluntary.
00:41:47.160It's not that we're sitting there going, oh, President Trump should have more power.
00:41:49.940We just think the natural there is got to be some sort of regulatory.
