00:00:00.000You announced just a few days ago that you're naming Bill Pulte as the acting director of
00:00:06.200national intelligence. There's been a little bit of a pushback from some Senate Republicans.
00:00:11.160Why do you think, Mr. President, he's the best person for the job?
00:00:14.480Well, he's very smart. He's a person who's got high integrity. He's done a phenomenal job at
00:00:20.760Fannie Mae Freddie Mac. You probably have a trillion dollars in value there. When he took
00:00:26.080over was much less. And I guess I'm responsible for that, too, because everybody wanted me to sell
00:00:31.520it in my first term for 10 percent of what it's worth right now. If I would have sold it, we would
00:00:37.900have lost 900 billion dollars. We would have lost. I mean, think of it. It's probably worth a trillion
00:00:44.280dollars. And I was offered every people want me to sell it at 100 billion, a very small percentage
00:00:51.780of what it's worth now so and he built it up a lot did a great job and it's an acting position
00:00:57.960it's not a problem he's not going to be permanent because you know i don't think he'd want to be
00:01:01.500permanent but he's a very smart guy and he may find out some things about the rigged elections
00:01:06.820etc etc i think he'd like to do it i'd like to i think he wants to do it very much got a lot of
00:01:12.600energy uh but he'll be very good uh again it's not a permanent position we're looking at we're
00:01:18.480interviewing people right now, but it's somebody just to take it over for a little while.
00:01:23.480Is it necessary, in your view, Mr. President, a necessary national security experience to take on that position?
00:01:29.140Well, I do, and I think he does, actually, because he's smart, because a lot of national security,
00:01:34.000look, I wasn't greatly experienced in national security, and I think I've done a really great job with it.
00:01:39.800A lot of people would say that I've ended eight wars and soon to be a ninth.
00:01:44.860I hope that works out, too. You know, frankly, it's but probably. And there's another one also. It could be 10. No president. I don't think a president's ended one war having to do with outside of this country. So, you know, we've done a good job. I would say that Bill is a guy that will be able to figure it out very quickly. Again, it's short term, but he may be very effective for a short period of time.
00:02:11.140Thursday, 4 June, year of our Lord, 2026.
00:02:18.620Pulte, the president's backing him hard.
00:02:22.080Talked about maybe, I don't know, DNI looks into the red elections.
00:02:26.040There'll be a meltdown tonight on various cable networks,
00:02:29.540so I want to make sure we curate it all for you.
00:02:31.380Of course, he says, Pulte's not going to be the permanent one just in acting.
00:02:35.820They're already talking to people about being permanent.
00:02:37.540So there is there's that. We'll deal with more of that in the morning. Also, some updates on capital markets and the war get to that in the morning. Also, the big news, the big news is I see it because this is the most important thing that people should know behind the scenes in Washington, D.C., everything related to artificial intelligence.
00:02:59.200Now you have people rushing towards the IPO window to kind of lay this risk or spread
00:03:25.320It's the start of a structural process, far from perfect, but at least it gets something
00:03:29.060out there. Then today, this congressman from California has been working on this bill.
00:03:35.840It's 300 and some pages long. Just give me the overview of who he is and tell me a little bit
00:03:41.940about this bill until we get down until we've got some great guests this afternoon that you've
00:03:46.140helped us to arrange, sir. Well, Steve, the bill, the Great American AI Act put forward by
00:03:55.120Jay Obernolte from California and Lori Trahan of Massachusetts. It's an attempt at a bipartisan
00:04:03.840agreement on what the national AI framework would be. Some of the positive aspects are the
00:04:11.680calls for the order to make the AI labs more transparent, very similar to some state level
00:04:19.540legislation we've seen in California and New York. That would mean that the companies would
00:04:23.940have to basically open up their labs to show that the AI models they're working on are, in fact,
00:04:31.840safe and are not a danger to the public. And this dovetails very much with the executive order that
00:04:38.300President Trump signed earlier this week. You also have protections for whistleblowers. You have
00:04:45.820The formal recognition of Casey, the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, it would actually provide $300 million to Casey over the next three years.
00:04:59.660This is important because Casey would be one of the central organizations involved in evaluating the models for safety.
00:05:09.100And that would also include the proposal put forward by President Trump in the executive order.
00:05:14.260The precedent has been set there to hold these companies to account to an external agency, basically to audit them.
00:05:22.900Now, one of the real problems with the so-called Great American AI Act is they are doubling down on preemption.
00:05:32.380Now, the bill itself calls for preemption on all state laws that would relate to the development of AI models,
00:05:41.480meaning that no state could pass a law that would impede an AI company from building a monster.
00:05:48.520It would allow, though, for states to pass laws that would regulate the deployment of these models.
00:05:57.820So they can build the monsters, but they can't release them.
00:06:01.980And this is, on its face, a kind of compromise.
00:06:05.120But I think as Daniel Cochran from the Institute of Family Studies will explain in detail,
00:06:11.480The problems arise immediately as to how much control states really will have, especially if any challenges to the companies go to court.
00:06:23.380I should also note, Steve, that this is all part of a huge wave right now of attempts to craft public perception of AI and, of course, pass laws or at least put in place policies to govern AI.
00:06:38.000And so, you know, we've been covering the Pope's encyclical. This is really, really important insofar as raising public consciousness and setting a kind of religious boundary around the uses of artificial intelligence.
00:06:50.780then the EO, as we just mentioned. And then two days ago, you had OpenAI reiterating their own
00:06:59.840public policy proposals. And you'll remember that OpenAI has long supported now using Casey,
00:07:07.320the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, as a central point, the point men for evaluating AI
00:07:15.620models for their safety. And then today also, Steve, we had an open letter published by the
00:07:23.180Institute for Progress and the Foundation for American Innovation. The open letter calls for
00:07:29.220more stringent monitoring of basically genetic engineering systems, that being
00:07:36.720any orders for DNA or RNA. This happens routinely. You have virologists or microbiologists who order
00:07:47.000custom-made biological mutants from various companies. And what this open letter calls for
00:07:53.280is a strict monitoring of the DNA and RNA that's being ordered through these systems. You would
00:07:59.580think that would already be in place, and it is to some extent, but they want strict monitoring.
00:08:03.520And they would also want to monitor the equipment used to produce any kind of novel pathogen.
00:08:10.020The reason being that artificial intelligence systems provide the means for relative amateurs to create potentially dangerous or deadly pathogens.
00:08:23.800And so this letter has been signed by Sam Altman from OpenAI, Dario Amadei of Anthropic, and Demis Asabis of Google's DeepMind, along with a number of CEOs from biotech labs, academics, and policymakers, and people working on policy.
00:08:40.900So all of this is happening right now. And I think that this bill, the Great American AI Act, is just one of many moving parts in a machine that is very quickly starting to move in a very different direction than David Sachs would have had it go, which would be just laissez faire, you know, unbridled accelerationism.
00:09:01.780okay let me um try to frame this for a second um and the reason i think it's so important for this
00:09:09.320audience to start to you know we've been doing this for what five six years um to even understand
00:09:17.280this at a deeper level what is happening right now you have obviously these guys in their business
00:09:23.680plans they're working at these um frontier labs uh really behind closed doors there's been an
00:09:31.240effort to slip in last summer when they realized, hey, we're going to go public.
00:09:39.880And what I mean by going public is we're going to access the public markets here within the
00:11:17.380So the risk, they're now coming out to spread the risk, and they are hurtling towards the IPO door because they see huge upside and ability for some of the first and second stage investors here to basically blow out in an IPO, take their profits, and then we're going to figure out what this business model is.
00:11:33.320because as I continue to reiterate, and now the rush to these IPOs proves to me more than ever,
00:11:40.080we are on a very dangerous track, not simply the technology and not simply not even the control of
00:11:47.080the technology of what they're working on and what we understand about it and what they're doing for
00:11:51.960controls, not even outsiders, whether state level, federal level, etc. What they even know and
00:12:00.180understand about what they're building and do they have the ability to control it but also now
00:12:04.980get to some sort of regulatory apparatus just a a lick and a promise that's what they're looking
00:12:10.380for a lick and a promise to slap this on there so they have a framework to go public and then make
00:12:16.200it your problem make the financing part of that your problem uh and so what you're seeing is all
00:12:22.700these efforts to kind of try to slap this together and we are adamant that this is as serious not just
00:12:28.460for the species right of uh of homo sapien 2.0 but it's also for the here and now exactly what
00:12:39.760are we doing and you had so the whole premise before was that we are going to um they wanted
00:12:46.480amnesty and they try to slip it into the nda which is a must pass ndaa the defense authorization
00:12:53.200which is must pass they try to slip it into the big beautiful bill which for the republican party
00:12:57.220President Trump must pass. You know, you've been in these fights as we shut those alternatives down
00:13:04.540because it gave them totally free ability to do anything they want, and that's dangerous,
00:13:09.800and these people are dangerous. And shutting that down, then the states, Governor DeSantis,
00:13:14.300others kind of stepped up and said, no, we have to have some, our citizens have to have some
00:13:19.060protection. Now they've come back, and they have this 300-page bill, and it's a little bit of a
00:13:25.500Rubrik's Cube, I think. And the timing of it, they're dropping it because they want something
00:13:31.600passed that gives some sort of lease framework of regulatory, even if it's not there, but gives you
00:13:39.060the performance art of some sort of regulatory apparatus, quite frankly, so they can slip through
00:13:46.680an IPO window. And these are massive public offerings. I don't think anything's, you're
00:13:51.360basically the equivalent of doing a public offering in the 1840s for steam engine, right?
00:13:59.360And they're letting you have a taste of it. These are massive public offerings. The scale of this
00:14:03.420Musk is orders of magnitude, the biggest public offering that's ever occurred. There's others.
00:14:11.140Just always remember, they ain't taking this public to let you participate in the upside.
00:14:16.100that is not what they're doing they're trying to go to every pension fund all your 401ks everything
00:14:21.860and make sure that you are at risk with them what they are going to do and looking at is try to blow
00:14:27.140out as much as this much of it after the public offering as possible and leave the suckers to kind
00:14:33.300of hold it we're going to break all this down because uh you have to be very clear about this
00:14:39.060we have to look at this very clear right where the incentives are who's doing what and where is
00:14:45.220at least a modicum of regulatory control so that we don't allow these oligarchs0.99
00:14:52.060just to run wild, because run wild they shall. Short break.1.00
00:14:59.720For the first time since World War II, our national debt held by the public has exceeded
00:15:04.900GDP. America, this is a wake-up call. Our sins of the past, reckless government spending
00:19:14.100and like i said my take on this bill first blush is it is providing some and he's over nolte's
00:19:23.320right when he talks it is a sense of urgency that i admire we have to do something we have to codify
00:19:28.220this um i'm not sure not only does this do it i think this is more of the because remember they've
00:19:36.880bought everybody in washington or virtually everybody they have more money because there's
00:19:40.880there's so much money involved here in power you have all the top law firms all the top lobbyists
00:19:46.240all the top communications firms everybody's conflicting i came and get people to talk about
00:19:52.580the um on the side of the humans on the side of the homo sapiens because everybody's already
00:19:57.520bought off they got these huge funds and they're you know putting money into for instance byron
00:20:03.760donald's these guys down in florida uh the governor's been pretty i think the santa's
00:20:08.640done a pretty good job on this. Byron Donalds, I think, take the most money from everybody. These
00:20:12.380AI PACs are there to make sure that they sing the party line, right, and tell you to shut up.
00:20:19.700So you have Overfell there talking about the urgency of this, but then you've got into a
00:20:23.500whole nother risk that we've been warning about. Now it's kind of out. So Joe, walk me through it.
00:20:29.620Yeah, Steve, you know, there's two basic courses of action that are being called for
00:20:33.860on the Hill. And one is the David Sachs approach, the Marc Andreessen approach. And that is light
00:20:39.920touch, meaning almost no regulation whatsoever. So that's an easy one. You just simply say no
00:20:44.640regulation, let industry regulate itself. On the other side, you have those of us who believe that
00:20:49.480just like airline industries, just like the food industry, all drugs, AI needs to have some level
00:20:58.560of government oversight and be accountable to the American people through the vehicle of the
00:21:03.300government. But the problem we run into is, OK, once that door is open, well, which regulations
00:21:08.900do you put in place? Who is really determining what those regulations are and how stringent they
00:21:15.260are, what the ultimate effect is? And it's very easy, as you just say, as you just said, for
00:21:20.880politicians and policymakers of all sorts to be bought off in all of their interests, basically
00:21:28.720reflecting the money that they're being handed by these companies. It's a very human thing
00:21:33.400that we have not gotten beyond. And as far as the bioweapon of fear, right, the concern that
00:21:43.320artificial intelligence systems could enable a novice to create a bioweapon, again, this is very
00:21:49.600much in parallel to the mythos moment. All of this boils down to the rapidly increasing capabilities
00:21:56.940of AI systems. And these are dual use systems by their nature. And that means that just as an AI
00:22:04.400system would be able to write code, so it would be able to analyze existing software for
00:22:11.760vulnerabilities and write code to exploit it. And this is what Mythos Preview has shown.
00:22:18.160And then you also have the kind of, it's very much parallel, even the ways in which it's done.
00:22:23.920But the problem that even as AI systems are able to assist researchers in their biological experimentation, they're also able to assist novices in creating dangerous biological systems, dangerous organisms.
00:22:40.700So it all hinges, Steve. You know, you've got all these forces and it looks like a really complex machine.
00:22:47.340But I think at the center, what you have are companies that have proven themselves to be reckless and that are creating systems of increasing capability.
00:22:55.240And then outside of that, you have all of the different interests trying to ensure that the most dangerous outcomes don't come to pass.
00:23:03.500The first and most important, that's us, that's the public. The public is extraordinarily concerned and they want something done. And then, you know, beyond that, you have all the different competing political interests who are trying to hammer out the way to do it.
00:23:19.480Yeah. And all I'm trying to say is layered on top of that is now there, obviously, this this Oklahoma land rush towards towards initial public offering, which will be able to have them lay off the lay off the risk on the MOOCs.
00:23:35.620um a senior vp of government affairs for americans for responsible innovations doug
00:23:42.000kalidis you join us uh akalidis you join us talk to me about this what you've seen in this uh
00:23:48.000potential bill that's been laid out today what i take it uh this is just a lick and a promise to
00:23:53.380try to give us a fig leaf and and and basically get preemption make sure the states are shut down
00:23:59.480ronda santis is shut down thanks steve you've got the framing right i mean this is the third
00:24:05.480time they've tried this. And it's the same people who tried a year ago to do 10 years blocking the
00:24:10.520states from touching AI with no federal standard at all. They came back in December, tried to do
00:24:15.680it again. You know, a huge coalition of people from basically every political strife and interest
00:24:21.200said, absolutely not. Literally nobody asked for this. And we shut it down. And they're back a third
00:24:26.620time because they realized that this is the last hurrah before we go into the summer and the
00:24:31.060election cycle. So what they've done is they basically reverse engineer, they start with
00:24:36.400preemption and say, states can't do anything that touches model development, because that's what the
00:24:41.540big labs really care about. And in exchange, you're going to get a new federal program that's
00:24:47.740going to, you know, give some visibility into what the companies are developing, you know,
00:24:53.460use some independent verification organizations, do some labor stuff, you know, 90% of this stuff
00:26:52.340Let the states continue to act and protect their people.
00:26:55.200And we have no problem with this at all, but they're not going to do it.
00:26:57.800You know, and that shows you all you need to see.
00:27:01.520No, the reason they're not going to do it, they don't want any form of control at all.
00:27:05.500And DeSantis and the people in Florida, I think, have done an incredible job.
00:27:09.440I think if DeSantis has had the new nominee to be the ambassador to Brazil, he was the House Speaker and shut down Governor DeSantis's, I think at the time, tremendous work.
00:27:50.980And of course, it's only, you know, it's voluntary.
00:27:53.240It's 90 days or excuse me, it's 30 days now, but it starts a process.
00:27:59.100What the purpose of everything they're doing on the legislative side is to make sure that the people have virtually zero say so in in looking inside of what's actually going on and absolutely no control.
00:30:43.920Our polling showed that 57% of Americans opposed that.
00:30:47.720So now they're back with 260 pages, and they're trying to bury the lead here.
00:30:52.260They're trying to disguise their attempts at amnesty, narrower amnesty, but amnesty nonetheless.
00:31:00.260I think the most important thing to note about this bill is that while it would require greater
00:31:05.460levels of transparency around catastrophic risk, it does nothing to address a lot of the risk that
00:31:11.360normal Americans care about. Think about the effects that AI has on kids and families,
00:31:16.480which we found recently 87% of Americans support. It does nothing to that effect. And the preemption
00:31:23.580provision, which we can talk about more, creates a legal hook for big tech to draw all kinds of
00:31:29.820questions and really drag states into court every time they want to impose competent safeguards on
00:31:36.520these companies. So it's a real, I think it's important to recognize how the tech industry is
00:31:41.500trying to muddy the waters here to get out of real accountability.
00:31:45.980Okay, I'm going to go back to Doug in a second, but I want to ask you, because you've been
00:31:48.640with us for a while, what is the obsession?
00:31:51.160Explain to the audience, what is their obsession in trying it many different ways?
00:31:57.160Why had they come back and tried now to bury this?
00:31:59.360What is so important to them about preemption or what I call amnesty, sir?
00:32:06.440Well, I think you suggested it in the last segment.
00:32:08.780And it is that these companies believe that they are essentially the new nation states, right?
00:32:14.880They are going to usher in kind of the next generation, the next species.
00:32:20.080And to do that, they have to overcome anything that would prevent them, right?
00:32:24.780Any kind of obstacle or barrier to their success, not just their financial success, but their power, right, to transcend the limitations being placed upon them.
00:32:34.320And so by getting Congress to enact essentially blanket amnesty, they are they are giving themselves a blank check to essentially write their own rules for the foreseeable future.
00:32:45.660doug isn't that the heart of the issue you talked about earlier and i said hey they they they don't
00:32:52.920want to deal with state legislatures they certainly don't want to deal like on the data centers with
00:32:57.020with local folks you know overturning these town commissions because their concept they don't look
00:33:04.460at the world in a westphalian framework they look more like renaissance florence or venice where
00:33:10.800they're a quite medieval people are kind of digital slaves to them and they they are uh these
00:33:16.980kind of techno uh fascists they they form a new almost political entity hasn't isn't it true that
00:33:23.860guys like andresen who carries a lot of stroke because he's got a big checkbook they've been
00:33:28.160working behind the scenes on this thing for months and months and months and make sure the
00:33:32.160roofs in congress kind of turn the keys over to them uh for a couple of years and so they can
00:33:37.480steal a march on the people and we can never reverse this? Absolutely. So, I mean, Daniel
00:33:43.480talked about what happened last year. So after they lost on the Senate floor, 99 to 1, right?
00:33:48.840Nobody wants this. Within a month, I was in a conference where people from A16Z were talking1.00
00:33:55.100about how what they would do was a new version of preemption was exactly what showed up in the
00:34:00.280bill we saw today, stopping states from doing anything that touches the development of AI
00:34:05.480models. So this is September of last year. I've talked to friends on the Hill who said they've
00:34:09.580been coming in every month since then and pushing this and pushing this and pushing this, and it's
00:34:13.880all they ever talk about. And all of the different think tanks and industry trade associations that
00:34:21.880they fund are all saying the same thing. So I mean, if you go online and you look at who's
00:34:25.760actually praising this bill and saying this is what we want, it's all people connected to
00:34:30.540Andreessen and, you know, the different tech right and the people who are basically, you know,
00:34:37.240funded or part of the whole A16C ecosystem. So, Daniel, then because these guys have all the
00:34:45.400money, they have all the lawyers, they have the lobbyists that have two thirds of the media is in
00:34:49.320their pocket. How then are people in our structure on our 250th anniversary, the commemoration of
00:34:57.340the start of all this, for the revolutionary generation? How then are the people to combat
00:35:02.060when you have really oligarchic power and quite frankly, an intensity and an urgency
00:35:08.260that really touches the dark side? How are people supposed to stand up to this?
00:35:14.120Well, now's the time. And, you know, Jay Obernolte, they released this as a discussion
00:35:20.080draft for a reason. I think that's very strategic because they recognize that people like us are
00:35:25.680are vigilant and on guard. They recognize the anger of the American people, poll after poll,
00:35:31.180showing growing concerns around AI, especially from younger folks, you know, graduates. I was
00:35:37.600just listening to a great speech by Senator Hawley last night, and he was talking about
00:35:42.500how so many people have soured on AI because AI has become a tool of oppression. So how can people
00:35:48.460resist? Well, let me give you two examples. I think you need to call members of Congress,
00:35:54.440Call Jay Obernolte's office. Call the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Those are the folks that are writing this legislation. And I think I think they should hear from real people. They only ever hear from industry. They need to hear from people on the ground who are affected by the rules that they're writing.
00:36:11.540And I think they just need to hear, look, the American people are not open to giving the tech industry carte blanche to write their own rules of the road. That's something that Congress and the states need to retain authority to do here.
00:36:24.440doug you know how our system is susceptible to people that have big checkbooks right and can say
00:36:32.520hey if you're not with me i'm gonna you know give your opponent unlimited amount of money to drive
00:36:37.140you out of here given the structure that we have today how can people the same question you how do
00:36:42.900people combat this when when you've got the andrescence and people should understand these
00:36:47.060are some of the most powerful people in the history of the planet this is a new they believe
00:36:52.660this a new industrial revolution. I agree with Holly that much of this is used for oppression.
00:36:57.960How then do you believe we can combat this? I think people need to keep the faith and
00:37:04.220understand that the power that they have. I mean, look at last summer. I mean, the tech industry
00:37:08.280in the run up to all this, the line was they don't lose. These guys never lose. Well, they lost and
00:37:13.860they lost 99 to one on a public vote on the Senate floor. And then they lost again in December when
00:37:20.260they tried. You know, all the money in the world can't push a policy that 90% of the American
00:37:26.300people simply don't want. You know, I tell a joke sometimes, you know, if you go around to your
00:37:31.600friends, your family, your colleagues and say, hey, you know, what do you think about AI? What
00:37:35.520do you think, you know, government should be doing on AI, if anything? You know, you'll get a bunch
00:37:39.500of answers. Not one out of 100 people is going to say, what we really need to do is stop the states
00:37:45.900and local governments from doing things that regulate big tech companies. Literally nobody
00:37:50.440wants this. And I think the money goes a long way when you're trying to spin an issue, or maybe it's
00:37:55.020like a 40-60 issue or a 30-70 issue, but this is not that. This is something that literally nobody
00:38:00.340wants. And that's why I think when people are loud and they let members know that this is not okay,
00:38:06.740they win. President Lincoln said in the darkest days of the Civil War, if you have the people
00:38:13.500on your side, you'll ultimately prevail.
00:38:15.480It was one of the things he worked on, public sentiment, he called it.
00:38:37.620It's at Doug Caledas, first and last name on X, and A-R-I dot U-S.
00:38:43.500Doug, thank you so much. Daniel, once again, with social media, website, where do people go? We need this Army of the Awakened to immerse themselves in the details here. Where do they go, sir?
00:38:56.460Go to, so my X handle is Real D. Cochran, and then you can find both our polling and other information at instituteforfamilystudies.org.
00:39:07.780Thank you, brother. Appreciate you. Great work.
00:39:10.520joe i i we you know having two experts on here it's just it's amazing you just still down
00:39:19.640the what the 378 pages or 278 pages and they're just doing the same thing again
00:39:28.240this audience remembers last last summer president trump had to get the big beautiful bill because
00:39:34.860this whole economic program. It was the must-pass piece of legislation for President Trump's
00:39:41.800second term, I think he would tell you, at least at the time. They slipped it in there,
00:39:47.820and we had 48 hours of a firestorm. The Warren Posse stepped up. It was just incredible. And in
00:39:55.000the middle of night, because of Marsha Blackburn, in the middle of the night, literally at two o'clock
00:39:59.640in the morning they voted on something ted cruz had sponsored 99 to 1 against a complete blowout
00:40:07.040uh i mean a face plant and the whole their mantra was we never lose we never lose that's the
00:40:14.380arrogance they come back 60 days later and try to slip it in to the ndaa because that is must pass
00:40:21.400in order for the troops to get uh uh paid uh the uh the head of the armed service committee rogers
00:40:28.900the guy that tried to punch out Matt Cates on the floor.
00:40:31.980He said he comes out of his office, there's a million reporters,
00:41:17.060And so it's at the state level, it's at the local level,
00:41:20.600that you have any possibility for restraining the worst effects of the technology.
00:41:25.680You can see in the bill that just passed just a couple of days ago in Illinois, very similar to SB 53 in California or the Rays Act in New York.
00:41:35.520It's basically holding these companies liable for their any possible harms that are done by the technology and also insisting on a degree of transparency,
00:41:47.260transparency as to how these systems are tested, how they're evaluated, how these digital brains
00:41:53.660are interrogated, basically, and then some path to hold them accountable. And then you have all
00:41:59.560the other concerns, child protection. All this is encoded in Ron DeSantis' AI Bill of Rights,
00:42:05.540but child protection, deep fakes. You have the copyright protections in the Elvis Act in Tennessee.
00:42:11.680You have the more exotic stuff like the no AI personhood legislation in Ohio and Missouri.
00:42:21.120So all of this you see and you really see it come to life in the data center fights on the local level.
00:42:28.120And so, yeah, they want to do anything possible to neutralize those decentralized local responses.
00:42:36.500And just looking at Daniel Cochran and Doug Casidas, these are not guys on the same side of the political aisle, but they are on the side of people.
00:42:46.580Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's bringing the country together in an odd way.
00:42:49.760The first three examples, this is the tragedy of DeSantis with Perez, this House Speaker that shut that down.
00:42:56.260Now Perez is being nominated for ambassador to Brazil.
00:42:59.340Please go. Let's get him approved tomorrow and get him out of there.
00:43:02.000if you notice the first three you talked about california new york and illinois not exactly
00:43:07.280friendly to american business or industry i understand that de santa's actually had i think
00:43:13.860something that had pretty well thought through enough balance in there but protect the people
00:43:18.940and put a lot of onus on the on tech and and governor de santa as you know florida and texas
00:43:24.240are the railheads of this texas because of elon musk and some of the other technology guys down
00:43:29.600there and the bush apparatus not as far advanced as governor de santis is but this is the tragedy
00:43:35.020of what the house speaker did but not even bringing it up for a vote we're going to spend
00:43:38.660more time on that but the lesson for today is that the war and posse we have to get collectively we
00:43:45.120have to get a lot smarter this is a bet humanity technology they're working on right now bet a bet
00:43:52.380the bet on homo sapiens, about surpassing homo sapiens. And you, this audience, are the guardians
00:44:01.600of this. The guardians of this. Short commercial break. Joe on the other side.
00:44:12.100Fellow patriots, the Federal Reserve has portrayed America for over a century,
00:44:16.940printing fiat, inflating away your savings, serving globalist masters, but President Trump
00:44:24.240is ending it. President Trump is wielding a 112-year-old law to reclaim control from the rogue
00:46:38.420Two things, totally free, no obligation.
00:46:40.500Birchgold.com slash Bannon, end of the dollar empire.
00:46:43.820Most importantly, get to talk to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:46:46.300Also, if you take your phone out and text Bannon at 989898,
00:46:50.420you also get to Philip Patrick and the team.
00:46:52.580talk to him first question just say hey why are central banks now it's up on drudge it's all over
00:46:58.180daily telegraph financial times a lot of huge stories we broke it for you i don't know six
00:47:03.300months ago why are central banks buying gold at rates now higher than the buying u.s government
00:47:09.460securities and philip patrick what does that mean for me and my family's financial security
00:47:16.100ask them get the answer to that question joe allen you're fighting the good fight brother
00:47:21.680i i told you what six years ago it was going to come down this is going to come down to money
00:47:26.460and power folks uh people that uh are oligarchs and are focused on power and focused on money
00:47:34.500and don't love our republic and particularly don't love the structure of our republic which
00:47:38.500means you have a say so uh are trying to do a blitzkrieg and roll this thing up and we've
00:47:44.860stopped them every time. And guess what? We're going to stop them again. We will never, ever
00:47:48.940fold on this. We will never, ever fold. It's driving them nuts. Joe Allen, your closing
00:47:54.800thoughts, sir. And where can people get more information on this topic? Steve, the wave is
00:48:00.740definitely crashing for sure. You've got, again, just to go back through it, you've got the Pope's
00:48:05.340encyclical on artificial intelligence. You've got the Trump administration's executive order
00:48:10.440on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence and testing the frontier models, establishing
00:48:17.400benchmarks for the frontier models. You've got OpenAI pushing their version of policy. You've
00:48:24.120got these various tech oligarchs, or at least the CEOs, also trying to put their stamp on the
00:48:32.260legislation that they've fought for a long time to keep from becoming existent at all. But then
00:48:40.420And, you know, once this process is underway, you're going to see the constant pressure from the people with the money and the power who want to see all of their projects from artificial intelligence to robotics to brain computer interfaces to bio enhancement to genetic engineering of the human being at a germline level.
00:49:03.180They will do everything possible to make sure whatever legislation goes through doesn't impede them with their projects.
00:49:11.360Right now, Steve, something that I'm really looking at, especially in regard to the testing, this is something that you see in the executive order.
00:49:20.580You see it in OpenAI's policy proposals.
00:49:24.920They're talking about testing, evaluating artificial intelligence systems.
00:49:29.500And that's the piece that I'm working on right now.
00:49:31.620It is really important to understand how quickly artificial intelligence capabilities have increased since November of 2022 when they first released ChatGPT.
00:49:43.840And that's what I'm really trying to communicate to the readers at Singularity Weekly.
00:49:49.340Make sure. Tell me where they go right now.
