00:00:28.960
like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:33.720
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is

your host stephen k bannon just into cnn manhattan district attorney is suing republican congressman
00:00:51.900
jim jordan over alleged interference in his case against former president donald trump the former
00:00:57.240
president of course was indicted last week cnn's kara scannell and cnn's manu raju join us with
00:01:03.560
the latest so things are getting more and more acrimonious here kara what what is the latest
00:01:07.740
that you're hearing yeah it certainly is getting more acrimonious biano we've learned that the
00:01:12.400
manhattan district attorney's office has filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block the
00:01:16.800
subpoena from jim jordan's committee the house judiciary committee that they made last week to
00:01:21.860
one of the top prosecutors who worked on this investigation now jim jordan has also reached out
00:01:27.180
to the district attorney's office bragg saying they wanted him to come in and testify but this is a
00:01:31.440
significant step forward to combat this effort bragg's lawsuit is alleging that this is an
00:01:37.700
unconstitutional effort by congress to try to interfere in a state prosecution they also say
00:01:43.460
that congress has no power to supervise or to get involved in state investigations so they're asking
00:01:49.760
the judge here to block the subpoena for the former prosecutor mark pomerantz's testimony he had a
00:01:55.400
deadline of april 20th that's next week to report to congress to give his testimony they're also asking
00:02:00.580
the judge to stop any future subpoenas to bragg or to any current or former prosecutors from that
00:02:06.700
office who have worked on this investigation i mean interestingly in this lawsuit bragg's office is
00:02:11.360
also alleging that jim jordan and other republican congressmen have been involved in a campaign of
00:02:17.380
intimidation retaliation and obstruction and they cite the former president trump's own threatening
00:02:22.560
statements to bragg and you recall that bragg's office did receive a letter with suspicious white
00:02:27.560
powder and it was deemed to be non-hazardous but bragg's office saying that these threats these
00:02:31.900
statements of intimidation by trump were not denounced by these republican congressmen and instead they said
00:02:38.900
that the house republicans were participating in these threatening efforts biana
00:02:42.580
okay welcome it is a tuesday 11 april the year of early 2023 it's the um a d no domine uh mark levin
00:02:54.760
not ce not common era um the um we had jeff clark on we talked about this briefly but i had to get
00:03:02.560
the mike davis fighting mike davis mike we got a lot to go through i know you want to talk about the other
00:03:07.780
uh you've been doing some great tweets on the on the entire battlefield coming against president trump
00:03:13.000
but i want to start with this kind of a bombshell today uh just breaking walk me through is this are
00:03:19.480
we supposed to interpret from this or do you take from this that bragg is is really petrified of this
00:03:26.180
move to hold him accountable by the uh by the house which you've been advocating from the beginning
00:03:31.760
yeah jim jordan is clearly over the target here this is an unprecedented lawsuit that alvin bragg has
00:03:39.760
filed remember for the first time in american history the soros funded manhattan da alvin bragg
00:03:45.780
indicted a former president of the united states and this former president also happens to be the
00:03:51.940
leading uh opposing presidential candidate and bragg is using federal funds to do this he admitted
00:03:58.980
to jim jordan's house judiciary committee that he's using federal funds and bragg is using a laughable
00:04:05.240
legal theory under federal election law to pursue this bogus case against trump this is a case that
00:04:13.120
was previously rejected by the prior man manhattan da at alvin bragg's urging when alvin bragg worked for
00:04:21.000
the new york attorney general's office it was rejected by the manhattan u.s attorney uh it was rejected by
00:04:27.340
the federal election commission it was rejected by bragg himself when he was first elected as the
00:04:33.400
manhattan da and then he took heat from rogue prosecutors including this mark pomerantz who
00:04:39.700
unethically went public with their political grievances and so bragg colluded with the biden
00:04:46.940
justice department including recruiting senior biden political appointee matthew colangelo to come
00:04:54.400
resuscitate this zombie case against president trump and bragg is denying president trump due process and
00:05:01.940
equal protection of the law and the bragg is also endangering new yorkers by diverting these federal
00:05:09.820
funds from real crimes like carjackings robberies assaults rapes and murderers to interfere in a
00:05:17.400
presidential election so congress has a duty under section 5 of the 14th amendment and its oversight
00:05:25.040
of the federal purse to investigate here and so now bragg is trying to cover up he's scared he knows that
00:05:31.440
house republicans are over the target so he uh he's brazenly violating trump's constitutional rights
00:05:38.080
his civil rights this is obvious election interference by bragg and so bragg filed this frivolous lawsuit
00:05:45.760
and remember the same democrats who used the january 6th committee to go after republicans it's going
00:05:53.120
to come back and bite them now because courts have consistently held that congress uh when they're
00:05:59.240
when they're looking at a legitimate uh legislative purpose they have plenary power to to investigate
00:06:05.660
they have plenary power for oversight when they're looking at a legislative purpose there is a clear
00:06:10.880
legislative purpose here they bragg is spending federal funds to investigate a presidential
00:06:16.280
candidate and interfere in an election and they're uh and he's violating rights civil rights of donald trump
00:06:22.500
why do you say this uh lawsuit is is frivolous i know he's trying to stop it or buy time but just
00:06:31.140
technically from a lawyer's perspective for our audience why is it frivolous well first of all there's
00:06:36.440
the speech or debate clause where congress uh it is very very very difficult to to sue lawmakers uh to
00:06:45.180
sue congress for their legislative duties because of the speech or debate clause uh it's also frivolous
00:06:52.100
because there is a clear legislative purpose here there's a clear oversight purpose here again
00:06:58.120
congress has a duty under section five of the 14th amendment to ensure that states provide due process
00:07:04.980
and equal protection of the law congress has a duty to ensure that federal funds are appropriately
00:07:09.900
spent and let's just think about it this way let's let's say a republican prosecutor of an elected
00:07:17.160
republican prosecutor indicted a black person under bogus charges do you think congress would not have
00:07:24.760
the power to step in is that what bragg is is arguing can can republican uh da's can republican ag's
00:07:32.860
politically uh go after black americans uh and there's no recourse with congress of course not
00:07:38.500
right there there's there's the due process and equal protection clause of the 14th amendment and
00:07:44.280
congress is well within its constitutional power its constitutional duty to investigate here
00:07:50.860
jim jordan is clearly on on the right legal grounds here and if some you know if they're trying to
00:07:57.200
cherry pick some southern district of new york democrat appointed judge to stop jim jordan's
00:08:03.940
investigation this will get overturned by the second circuit this will get overturned by the supreme court
00:08:08.920
jim jordan has the clear constitutional power here to investigate
00:08:13.000
if bragg had nothing to hide wouldn't have been better just to go up because you had laid out the
00:08:19.500
methodology they're going to go up and take staff depositions in new york if there was nothing to hide
00:08:24.960
wouldn't he have been better just let the staff depositions go and then they they get nothing
00:08:29.580
and it's called a day right this shows you that they got something to hide they don't want the staff
00:08:36.140
to pose they don't want to they've been told to hold your books and records to hold your even your
00:08:41.340
personal text messages and your personal emails and your personal phone records um if if bragg if he
00:08:49.160
i'm not saying if he's smart but there was nothing there you would have jordan come up and then you'd
00:08:53.820
mock them later they came up and did staff deposition they got nothing this is just another
00:08:57.660
republican overreach this is trump putting these these these republicans every time trump snaps his
00:09:03.360
finger jim jordan i'll say how high do i have to jump boss and there's nothing there they must be they
00:09:09.800
must be they don't want these people deposed under penalty of perjury is that how i'm going to take this
00:09:15.420
well yeah i mean and what's even more egregious about this lawsuit by bragg is he's suing
00:09:21.560
so mark pomerantz can't cooperate with the committee mark pomerantz quit he no longer he
00:09:27.240
no longer works for the office pomerantz is the one who quit and wrote the book right unethically so
00:09:32.260
what is bragg's justification how would interviewing pomerantz obstructs bragg's investigation his
00:09:39.440
political prosecution political persecution of trump bragg knows that he colluded with the
00:09:45.220
biden administration bragg knows that he that that president biden sent matthew colangelo
00:09:51.860
from the number three's office in the justice department back in december to resuscitate
00:09:56.960
this zombie case to get trump that bragg knows he's cornered here he knows he's caught
00:10:02.320
this is not simply about bragg this has been your theory of the case since august 8th when we
00:10:10.020
had you on uh you know you've been doing the supreme court stuff rush you've been doing great
00:10:14.420
stuff on the judges on process but you came on on that day to really uh talk about the the the what
00:10:20.640
you said was an illegal raid down at mar-a-lago the issue here and this thing picked up steam on the
00:10:26.900
jordan side when you identified you were the first matt colangelo and you said hey here's the connective
00:10:33.280
tissue this is the linkage between the justice department and the biden white house and the whole
00:10:37.580
susan rice the whole apparatus is tied together around colangelo because he's a guy that's been
00:10:42.680
everywhere and worked for everybody he's central to this walk us through that is that is is the reason
00:10:48.180
bragg's nervous or they're nervous is not simply bragg's incompetence in the ridiculous you know
00:10:54.180
criminal proceeding we have which is you've rightly gone through as a misdemeanor bookkeeping era not
00:11:00.840
even related to trump but is the thing is since you identify colangelo is that what they're really
00:11:05.780
petrified about is getting in there and staff depositions getting colangelo's because they told
00:11:10.220
him keep all your personal text messages all your personal emails and they can find out if he if he if
00:11:15.500
he try to wipe stuff out is the issue they have in the nervousness that you've identified and now
00:11:21.200
jordan's gone after this the guy that is the interlinking connectivity between actual merrick garland
00:11:27.620
and the doj and ultimately to biden's white house council and biden's white house it is very clear
00:11:33.900
that matthew colangelo was sent by biden in december to bragg's office to get trump there's no
00:11:41.380
question you don't just send the number two to the number three a very senior official in the biden
00:11:48.060
justice department you don't send one of your top they don't just quit their job one day uh go up to
00:11:54.300
manhattan say they're looking for a job and end up at alvin bragg's doorstep looking for a job this was
00:11:59.180
clear collusion between president biden and bragg's office to take out trump and colangelo is the key
00:12:06.220
witness in this and that is what they are that is why biden and bragg are terrified of that that jim
00:12:12.620
jordan is doing this oversight because they do not want matthew colangelo to testify
00:12:17.540
um how do you think this plays out over the next couple of weeks so is this decision is this going to
00:12:25.380
get dragged out will that will jordan can jordan try to go to the judge and try to expedite this
00:12:29.800
walk just walk us through what you think the critical path here because obviously timing
00:12:33.200
is very important from the trump perspective well this they talk about separation of powers this is a
00:12:40.620
clear separation of powers issue for congress congress has plenary oversight power when it's
00:12:47.080
looking at a when it's looking at a legislative purpose and when it's looking at the expenditure of
00:12:51.600
federal funds and so if any district judge in the southern district of new york thinks that they're
00:12:57.980
going to issue an injunction to stop a congressional committee from uh over from its constitutional
00:13:04.420
oversight duty uh that judge needs to know that they will be quickly uh reversed by the second circuit
00:13:10.660
or the supreme court of the united states because this is a major you're saying this is going to come
00:13:16.740
down to a major separation of powers issue and on this one it's clear congress has the ability to
00:13:22.100
have oversight because of funds and other other uh other means that uh support the apparatus of uh
00:13:29.600
alvin bragg and latisha james correct absolutely and this is again this is part of democrat lawfare
00:13:36.900
against trump and i laid this out earlier today in a tweet on five different fronts we have new york
00:13:42.320
attorney general tish james bringing a fraud lawsuit against president trump for the non-fraud
00:13:49.140
of trump uh borrowing money from sophisticated wall street banks and fully paying back those banks with
00:13:57.180
interest so i don't know how there could be a fraud there it is a bogus legal theory and trump has to go
00:14:02.460
up and do a deposition in new york with democrat tish james this week on that you also have this
00:14:08.020
manhattan da alvin bragg uh pursuing a felony charge against president trump for the non-felony
00:14:14.520
of president trump settling a nuisance claim with a former stripper based based upon a 2006 allegation
00:14:22.380
that was settled in 2016 well past the statute of limitations and alvin bragg won't even say what
00:14:29.640
the legal allegation is against trump in the indictment that's a clear due process clause violation
00:14:35.040
under the 14th amendment to the u.s constitution you have fulton county da fanny willis another
00:14:40.100
democrat politician uh looking to indict president trump for the non-felony of objecting to a
00:14:46.600
presidential election which is permitted by the electoral count act of 1887 it's also permitted
00:14:52.420
by the first amendment if that's illegal to object to presidential elections then democrats would be in
00:14:58.180
prison for objecting in 1969 2001 2005 and 2017 it's only illegal to object to presidential elections
00:15:06.740
in third world marxist hell holes and uh garland special counsel jack smith is also looking at
00:15:13.160
objecting to the presidential election along with the non-crime of a former president having his
00:15:18.820
presidential records in the congressionally funded office of former president with congressionally
00:15:24.340
funded staff security clearances secure office space called skiffs secret service protection this
00:15:31.220
is a president trump was allowed to have his presidential records classified or not under the
00:15:36.420
presidential records act uh then former vice president was not allowed to have obama's stolen
00:15:42.700
classified records in several unsecured locations when there's evidence that miranda divide in the new
00:15:48.620
york post pointed out hunter biden used in a 23 paragraph memo he used these stolen classified records
00:15:55.460
likely to secure funding from ukrainian and uh chinese oligarchs illegally corruptly so uh garland
00:16:03.720
covered that up for several months and i'll let biden's attorneys uh do the searches for the first four
00:16:09.320
rounds before he took political heat and then the fbi went in and found the classified documents on the
00:16:14.380
fifth round so this is this is complete uh the democrats have politicized and weaponized the
00:16:21.160
justice system for non-crimes against trump at every level federal level they're using uh federal funds at
00:16:27.300
the state level jim jordan and the house judiciary committee and the weaponization subcommittee are
00:16:32.840
clearly over the target and clearly doing their constitutional duty here before i pivot to the
00:16:39.740
i know you got to bounce so we're gonna get you in and out here but i gotta ask you i see a lot of
00:16:44.040
stuff popping up now on the internet and i wanted you to to ask you about other you you you fingered
00:16:50.880
colangelo on matthew colangelo on the on the brag situation as the plug-and-play from the doj and from
00:16:58.740
the biden white house are you seeing any other things particularly about the mar-a-lago situation
00:17:04.380
that leads you to believe that you can start to see um pattern recognition like that on some of these
00:17:11.360
others particularly mar-a-lago where you might see the hand of doj or the white house uh involved in
00:17:17.340
this right now mike well the the mar-a-lago mar-a-lago raid was clearly authorized by president
00:17:24.040
biden because president biden had to waive president trump's claim of executive privilege so
00:17:29.440
biden knew about this raid before it happened i think documents are just starting to come out
00:17:33.740
but it's very clear biden had to waive executive privilege for trump right so he he green-lighted
00:17:40.240
garland's unprecedented unnecessary unlawful home raid on trump his political enemy they went to a
00:17:46.340
biased magistrate judge bruce reinhardt who had just recused six weeks prior from trump's civil lawsuit
00:17:53.740
because of reinhardt's judge magistrate judge reinhardt's uh judicial bias based upon his political
00:17:59.880
facebook post bashing president trump somehow this judicial bias magically went away over six weeks
00:18:06.100
when garland went to this biased magistrate judge to get this unprecedented unnecessary unlawful home
00:18:12.800
raid on trump to get back i would argue the crossfire hurricane records from trump that were so politically
00:18:19.000
damaging to obama and biden and the deep state at the same time garland is running cover for his boss
00:18:26.700
when biden had stolen classified records from the obama white house and from the senate uh for that
00:18:33.680
matter so even worse so again so politicized so weaponized remember this matthew colangelo who's
00:18:40.040
now working with bragg to get trump this is the same matthew colangelo who was sending the justice
00:18:45.440
department and the fbi after uh after parents protesting outside of abortion clinics parents
00:18:52.940
protesting at louden county school board meetings while he was giving amnesty to abortion industry
00:18:59.420
activists who were terrorizing catholic churches crisis pregnancy centers and supreme court justices
00:19:05.820
and their families in their homes so i would look out for foxnews.com in the morning because the article
00:19:10.900
three project has a story coming on the biden justice department's weaponization of uh uh against
00:19:18.360
president president trump and his political enemies oh wow that's fantastic hopefully we'll have you on
00:19:24.220
tomorrow just a couple things the timing of the waiving of executive privilege that's a decision
00:19:29.680
biden has to make with the white house council so it had to come sometime if the raid was in august it had
00:19:35.800
to come sometime in may june or july correct i just want to get the timeline here where he made a decision
00:19:40.460
and only biden as the uh as the the chief executive as the chief magistrate only he can make that
00:19:47.400
decision white house counselor suzerain nobody at a lower level merrick garland the waiving of
00:19:52.100
executive privilege which is by the way they ought to go to supreme court on that because it's open
00:19:56.100
thinking he even waive on a president but that would have to come from him any doubt in your mind on that
00:20:01.220
there is no question it has to come from the sitting president of the united states to a waive
00:20:07.760
and you and he did this at a time when he knew he had classified documents and quite frankly i think
00:20:18.220
the timeline when it all gets exposed that even because his white house council left shortly thereafter
00:20:24.340
i think this is when the white house also understood that he had it hasn't been proven yet but if you look
00:20:31.480
at the timelines here somebody in the white house was waking up to the fact because remember they went to
00:20:35.920
the closet quote unquote in november that somebody in the white house knew that biden himself had a
00:20:43.720
problem with classified documents am i incorrect in that in laying together those two timelines sir
00:20:49.400
when this comes out the there is going to be evident impeachable crimes by president biden that he
00:20:56.800
knew that he was caught with stolen classified records and so then he weaponized the justice department
00:21:03.140
to go after trump records that president trump was absolutely allowed to have under the presidential
00:21:07.620
records act this is impeachable can you repeat that from the top sir yeah what president biden has done
00:21:17.280
here is impeachable he has weaponized the biden justice department to take out his political enemy
00:21:24.400
based upon bogus charges that president trump had stole violated the espionage act by having classified
00:21:31.360
records in mar-a-lago president trump was absolutely allowed to have his presidential records in the
00:21:36.940
office of former president under the presidential records act biden weaponized the justice department
00:21:41.740
to go after trump because biden got caught with stolen classified records from the senate and the obama
00:21:48.440
white house this is impeachable okay you heard it from mike davis and ask yourself how many times has mike
00:21:55.920
davis been wrong in the show in the last two years mike a couple things i know you got to bounce
00:21:59.760
this aoc that the court gets its the courts get the federal judiciary gets its legitimacy
00:22:05.780
based upon their rulings it's starting to get a little traction on the far left i want you to give
00:22:11.960
me a minute or two on that and then i want to your your former uh employer the senate judiciary
00:22:16.600
committee has announced today that they're going to investigate clarence thomas um give me first off
00:22:22.080
aoc how dangerous is this particularly the fact it's on msmc every night and starting to get traction how
00:22:27.640
does do these judges get their legitimacy from how the political class on capitol hill receives
00:22:34.680
their uh their decisions sir this is extremely dangerous what the democrats are doing here they
00:22:40.940
know that president trump transformed the federal judiciary the supreme court and the lower courts
00:22:46.820
of appeals to the first constitutionalist majority in 90 years and that is the last line of defense
00:22:53.540
from for these democrats they they know that the only thing stopping them from running over americans
00:23:00.520
and running all over all of our rights what really two things president trump which they're trying to
00:23:05.820
destroy him and they're they're going to try to destroy the supreme court and the lower federal courts this
00:23:10.220
is dangerous what they're doing uh this is they are politicizing and weaponizing uh congress uh to go after
00:23:18.340
these federal judges and they know that uh that they know that clarence thomas did nothing wrong that he
00:23:25.940
fully followed the the federal rules for federal judges on gifts from close personal friends from
00:23:32.740
for 25 years they're trying to destroy him they've been trying to destroy clarence thomas for 31 years
00:23:38.500
because he is a black man from the segregated south he was a liberal and he escaped the democrats plantation
00:23:45.460
he got mugged by reality and they hate him for this mike are you shocked that uh given i mean the the
00:23:53.560
senate judiciary committee is one of the most in this city one of the most important billets uh only
00:23:58.840
serious people are on there uh are you shocked that the senate judiciary committee is actually discussing
00:24:04.680
now and putting out to the press that they want to actually have hearings and actually discuss
00:24:09.440
the situation with uh with justice thomas well i mean they have to be careful what they what they
00:24:15.100
ask for here because you know what justice ruth bader ginsburg and justice briar two democrat
00:24:20.940
appointed supreme court justices took many many many trips uh from very wealthy people and those
00:24:27.940
wealthy people were not their best friends of 25 years like clarence thomas's best friends like harlan
00:24:35.300
crow right these people harlan crow had zero business before the supreme court and justice thomas fully
00:24:42.400
followed the the rules and regulations that he was supposed to follow and uh if they want to open
00:24:48.320
up this pandora's box let's do it because uh i know that ruth bader ginsburg the late ruth bader
00:24:53.940
ginsburg and justice briar took many many many trips so let's go there mike davis how do people get to

because we now know that the suspect who is in custody is 42 year old david de pepe
00:31:57.840
ben i know that you have been looking into this i know that you have been online already looking
00:32:02.720
uh for his digital footprint what do we know about him yeah i mean he's already posted lots of uh
00:32:09.480
conspiracy theories about transhumanism and global warming and uh covid-19 and all this stuff online
00:32:15.440
on a blog uh transhumanism is the belief that there are like aliens running the country and that
00:32:20.640
they're trying to get us to inject ourselves with with covid-19 shots vaccines that are really
00:32:26.120
computers it's like a very confusing complicated thing um but he is an og conspiracy theorist
00:32:32.040
joining us now nbc news senior reporter ben collins um am i doing something wrong here uh transhumanism
00:32:40.920
is the belief that there are like aliens running the country here are some headlines that i wrote
00:32:45.960
the last six months fueled by internet's far-right machine anti-lgbtq threats shut down trans rights and
00:32:52.040
drag events remember there was a drag event happening colorado doctors under threat from
00:32:56.760
far-right activists for providing trans care boston children's hospital faces bomb threat after right-wing
00:33:01.880
harassment campaign there were three of those bomb threats fbi charges massachusetts women with
00:33:05.880
boston children's hospital bumper so they found one of the people a child will often know that they
00:33:10.040
are transgender from the moment that they have any ability to express themselves and parents will
00:33:15.080
often tell us this we have parents who tell us that their kids they knew from the minute they were born
00:33:20.120
practically and actions like refusing to get a haircut or standing to urinate trying to stand to urinate
00:33:27.560
refusing to stand to urinate trying on siblings clothing uh playing with the quote opposite gender
00:33:34.840
toys things like that i'm trying to say this is happening this targeted stuff has real life impacts
00:33:41.800
they say in the internet has real life impacts and i'm gonna fail by the way i'm gonna you know freak out
00:33:46.600
because it's happening but i think we have to have a come to jesus moment here uh as reporters tucker
00:33:55.560
uh attacked my colleague brandy zadrosny who was co-violent almost all these stories not me he's
00:34:00.360
had brandy of course and he he went right back into this idea that some they is trying to groom your
00:34:06.760
kids trying to sexualize your children right yeah who's the they first of all yeah gender-forming hysterectomy
00:34:12.520
is very similar to most hysterectomies that occur a hysterectomy itself is the removal of the uterus
00:34:19.160
the cervix which is the opening of the uterus and the fallopian tubes which are attached to the sides
00:34:23.800
of the uterus some gender-affirming hysterectomies will also include the removal of the ovaries but
00:34:28.680
that's technically a separate procedure called a bilateral euphrectomy i look i am open to feedback
00:34:35.160
i want to hear how i can tell these stories better uh transhumanism is the belief that there are like
00:34:40.120
aliens running the country and that they're trying to get us to inject ourselves with
00:34:44.040
with covet 19 shots vaccines that are really computers it's like a very confusing complicated thing
00:34:52.280
okay you're open to feedback ben i got joe allen on and we'll get up in a second joe as i get you in
00:34:57.800
here uh about um um you know what ben tweeted out today leave it ben collins actually a very smart guy
00:35:07.000
now he's the nbc and msnbc guy his his mandate his beat is all the online digital and and so he's like
00:35:16.040
the digital um how do i say this the uh the hall police in in middle school right uh but he's a smart
00:35:24.200
guy so when he says things like this he's knowingly trying to dismiss it by being cute like on transhumanism
00:35:31.800
transhumanism has nothing to do with aliens and as you know this audience knows we've covered this now for
00:35:36.520
years we've had an editor for the last couple years i think we do the best coverage in the business
00:35:41.400
um because it's every day it's serious and it's detailed and we put the links up and the stories up
00:35:46.200
and all that um the so when ben collins says your transhumanism and then when he does the transgender
00:35:52.360
you've got we could we could put you know we we could intercut in that cold open a hundred different
00:35:59.480
examples of people that are in this business of of driving the transgender ideology so just the point is
00:36:06.280
when ben collins says somebody that this is not a dumb guy he's a very smart guy he knows exactly
00:36:11.880
what's going on now he hates places like the war room he hates maga he's a he's beyond a never trump
00:36:17.400
he's i hate trump all that now the reason we're doing this today is that joe you and i have had
00:36:24.600
these and and now on drudge mac daddy today what is it he's taken the war in china off which were the
00:36:30.920
leaders in in in discussing that and today it looked at the headlines we put it up it's all
00:36:35.880
about ai and the fear of ai and and people in serious places um it's just sitting there and i
00:36:41.640
can tell you in the boardrooms in media in these companies on capitol hill the smart people a lot of
00:36:48.600
people are going whoa whoa what is happening here this thing is starting to accelerate at an
00:36:54.040
accelerating rate and we didn't know it and this is that the biggest companies you've seen
00:36:57.640
the heads of google come back off the beach and say okay we've unretired to get on top of this
00:37:02.360
you've had uh you've had uh zuckerberg just basically toss meta off the the boat when he's
00:37:09.320
going to invest billions of dollars took earnings since forever to say no we're going to ai you've
00:37:13.560
had bill gates say ai is everything you've had elon mush you've had the the creme de la creme
00:37:19.880
of uh of the tech oligarchs the old school original gangster oligarchs all saying hey ai is everything
00:37:25.560
then you've got this next tier of really the cutting edge people on it and as we've shown over the last
00:37:30.360
weeks and weeks and weeks there are very smart people very smart people who are ai accelerationists
00:37:37.000
who are not the luddites like me or joe a quasi luddite who are saying whoa we gotta we gotta
00:37:43.800
stop this this get inhumanity okay and now you've had local newscasts playing those things and saying
00:37:48.760
hey well the guy if it could decrease you know kill humanity maybe on top of it ben collins today joe
00:37:55.800
i'll let you take it from here but he kind of mocked us as like we at like steve bannon and joe allen in
00:38:01.320
the war room we're all nervous about demon summoning we're not we're we're only we're only
00:38:08.440
bringing it up because the top guys in the business are talking about demon summoning joe take it from
00:38:14.840
here and let's get some granularity because i want to we we want to straighten ben collins out particularly
00:38:20.440
ben stop with the nonsense you're too smart transhumanism has nothing to do with aliens and
00:38:25.400
trying to inject people with uh the covet vaccine that's redonkulous this is a serious topic you must
00:38:32.360
start to treat it as a serious topic joe allen yeah steve i think that this uh these tweets that
00:38:40.680
he sent obviously he's uh perhaps looking for a bit of attention uh he got a little bit uh from me but uh
00:38:47.720
the basically the tweet the first tweet reads today in ai panic from steve bannon's war room it makes
00:38:55.080
demon summoning too easy and then he goes on to say below this uh seriously steve bannon's war
00:39:04.520
room is laser focused on actual demons summoned by ai i'm not sure everyone is ready for how unbelievably
00:39:12.200
stupid the next two years are going to be uh well ben i couldn't agree more especially with guys like
00:39:19.320
you driving the conversation so um first off uh he fails to distinguish between a metaphor and reality
00:39:29.640
i've never really said whether i believe that demons are being summoned i simply have said that uh
00:39:37.240
undoubtedly that is the kind of language that a lot of the guys in the field are using elon musk made it
00:39:44.200
probably the the the way of speaking more than anybody when he told uh journalists i believe in
00:39:51.080
in academics at mit in 2014 uh that ai is summoning the demon and a lot of that comes out of you know
00:40:01.560
nick bostrom's work a very serious philosopher at oxford who is a transhumanist but still sees these
00:40:09.560
profound dangers in the technology that he wants to see realized and then of course there was the the
00:40:16.760
very uh now famous interview with eliezer yudkowsky uh and that took place about a month ago and we
00:40:24.360
covered that relentlessly wherein he's talking about ai as metaphorically being demon summoning circles
00:40:34.040
right that open ai by putting chat gpt out uh without any of the real uh safety measures that
00:40:41.800
should be there basically they're summoning the demon and putting the demon summoning circles
00:40:47.560
in every household so i i think that bill is i'm sorry ben is probably being willfully ignorant
00:40:55.240
on this he probably as you say knows exactly what he's doing but if he does i think in retrospect
00:41:01.560
he surely would know that he's going to look very foolish okay uh speaking of it the way he is
00:41:06.120
nothing hold it hold it nothing nothing could be dumber than saying that transhumanism is about
00:41:11.480
alien that's that's just that's beneath him intellectually it's stupid but this is he tries
00:41:15.320
to smear something he is correct not stupid but he is correct as i've said now for two solid years
00:41:22.200
that the 2024 presidential campaign is going a big part of this is going to be about transhumanism
00:41:28.200
in artificial intelligence it just is it has to be this is with all the madness going on at the
00:41:33.880
beginning stages of a third world war of everything going on the southern border everything happening
00:41:38.040
with our currency this is the thing itself this is this is such a big deal and quite frankly nobody
00:41:45.560
really has gotten their arms around it about how we either slow it down or regulate so it is going to be
00:41:50.440
the next two years and we pride ourselves of being ahead of the curve here and being the smartest place
00:41:55.240
to consider the alternatives because right now they're not being considered do we have any do
00:42:00.840
we have any clips at all that we can can we call a clip memphis do you have anything at all that we
00:42:05.640
can play let's play a couple of clips because i want to make sure we get the voices of these others
00:42:09.720
in here to talk about this because you say it's a metaphor we'll find out if it's a metaphor we'll find
00:42:15.560
out if it's a metaphor or not there's something deeply wrong with what's happening there's something
00:42:22.920
deeply wrong with what's happening in the top minds and ai even the biggest accelerationists
00:42:30.680
are be nervous beyond belief there's others are saying full stop and in fact full stop and if
00:42:38.360
there's a rogue lab in korea or in the asian landmass or in ccp if we find a rogue data center
00:42:46.600
that does not stop everything we ought to just do a missile strike on it so and that's not coming from
00:42:51.560
war rumor joe allen joe let's play a couple of these clips if you will we can comment on it
00:42:56.600
and hopefully ben can learn something and a warning from tesla motors ceo elon musk about artificial
00:43:02.520
intelligence which he has called more dangerous than nuclear weapons musk spoke at a symposium
00:43:09.400
at mit i mean with artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon you know you know those stories
00:43:15.960
where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water and he's like yeah you sure you can
00:43:19.720
control the demon then work out i mean it seemed to me some time ago that you could sort of think of
00:43:27.000
humanity as a biological bootloader for digital super intelligence well computers actually are already
00:43:33.240
much smarter than than people on so many dimensions we just keep moving the goal posts basically there's
00:43:38.360
just a smaller and smaller corner of what of intellectual pursuits that humans are better than
00:43:45.160
computers and that every year it gets smaller and smaller and and soon we will be far far surpassed in
00:43:52.760
every single way i don't think artificial intelligence is a threat people like us street smart we never scared
00:44:00.920
of that we we think it's a great fun and we want to change ourselves to embrace it i don't know man
00:44:07.240
that's like famous last words then it was like chat gpt's blind version of like throwing the ideals at
00:44:13.560
a place where they were exactly the wrong ideals to solve the problem and the problem is that
00:44:17.720
demon summoning is easy and angel summoning is much harder open sourcing all the demon summoning
00:44:23.400
circles is not the correct solution i'm not even using and i'm using elon muck's own terminology
00:44:28.760
here they talk about ai is summoning the demon which you know not accurate but and then the solution
00:44:33.080
was to put a demon summoning circle in every household
00:44:37.640
i'm not sure i i i i debate with you joe i don't think it's a metaphor i i think these guys are
00:44:44.360
very serious about it because it is a dark unknown that we don't know and and and things can happen
00:44:53.080
okay i don't think it's just a metaphor i don't uh but for ben collins this is the research and you
00:45:00.280
you gotta stop with the transhumanism is aliens about to inject yourself i've never even heard
00:45:05.880
of this redonkulous you're in the far you're in the fever swamps of the internet and this is a
00:45:11.320
serious topic and nbc news should treat this as a serious topic because this is going to have a
00:45:16.360
massive impact not just on american culture society and global um everywhere you see jack ma right there
00:45:22.520
part of the problem we got in this third world war of particularly around taiwan right now the
00:45:28.360
advanced chip design of those labs is that we have no earthy idea on the artificial intelligence side
00:45:34.840
we know that artificial intelligence is helping the ukrainians what we're hearing from intelligence
00:45:40.520
for helping the ukrainians hold off the russians as far as targeting goes they're using ai
00:45:45.800
it's now and you've done a great job it's out deployed on the battlefield at least in some
00:45:50.120
rudimentary sense this is what might be concerned with the seventh fleet until we fully know the
00:45:55.560
capabilities of the chinese uh weaponry you could send an entire pair a carrier battle group
00:46:02.520
to the bottom of the straits of taiwan with 10 to 15 000 sailors dead this is the danger of the
00:46:11.560
zone that we're in joe allen well steve maybe i can take some blame on myself because i do waffle
00:46:19.160
between those ideas of demon summoning as metaphor or demon summoning as some literal theological event
00:46:27.320
mainly because i don't know and don't pretend to know i know how it feels i know it certainly
00:46:32.280
feels like demon summoning and i think that's why elon musk and guys like eliezer yudkowski speak this
00:46:38.280
way because it feels the same way to them uh but it's insofar as the aliens and the injected microchips
00:46:46.360
are concerned you know uh kevin kelly wired founder kevin kelly oftentimes speaks of ai as an alien mind
00:46:55.880
this is actually a very common metaphor across the field you hear it from all sorts of people
00:47:00.760
because artificial intelligence is so different from human cognition uh it feels like an alien mind
00:47:09.000
it thinks differently in some ways it thinks faster and better at least in very specific
00:47:14.600
narrow categories and so uh you know i'm certainly there are a lot of people i personally know a number
00:47:21.960
of people who talk about uh transhumanism as some sort of alien conspiracy or you know that all these
00:47:28.440
technologies come from crashed ufos but we i certainly have never pushed any kind of theory
00:47:33.240
like that and i don't really agree with it in any you know any way it just it seems to me like saying
00:47:39.320
that nikolai tesla uh basically created all these technologies and now the elites are just dripping them
00:47:45.400
out on us i don't see it that way i think it we're in a very very chaotic situation with very very
00:47:51.560
powerful technologies and in fact i don't even see it as a conspiracy so much as i see a lot of people
00:47:59.160
with a concentrated power a lot of irresponsible irresponsible people in control and so from our
00:48:05.960
perspective it might as well be some sort of global conspiracy because we don't have control over whether or
00:48:12.600
not these technologies are deployed we barely have any control on how over how they're used and we
00:48:19.320
certainly don't have any say in whether or not the jobs are going to be replaced by artificial intelligence
00:48:26.200
and automation whether or not teachers are going to be replaced by artificial intelligence whether or
00:48:32.280
not students are going to learn uh basically by way of bots certainly people can take their own
00:48:39.480
children out of the school system but as this widespread technological net is basically uh brainwashes
00:48:47.720
some large portion of the society we are going to have to deal with it so you know demon summoning
00:48:55.640
alien conspiracies yeah i think these are all very good and powerful metaphors for what is happening
00:49:02.760
if they're literally happening you know hey whatever i guess we'll find out but uh i think that again
00:49:08.760
well no no okay hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on because kevin kelly's one of the
00:49:14.280
smartest guys to call alien brain let me just give a okay this is what you know when you talk about a
00:49:20.520
chaotic situation you have individuals bill gates at microsoft you have uh sergi and his buddy at uh at
00:49:29.320
google uh you have uh zuckerberg these are almost trillion dollar companies this is the elite of the tech
00:49:35.960
oligarch they were caught shocked by what was released at davos on approximately 15 january of
00:49:43.640
this year okay 15 january 15 april and by the end of this week that will be that will be the uh
00:49:53.640
that will be the 90th day i keep telling people we're in the first 100 days when davos man saw this
00:50:00.600
the biggest most powerful tech companies in the world with the guys that have been the cutting edge
00:50:05.720
to get us to this point today were in shock came off the beach came out of retirement said this has
00:50:11.560
got to be the focus all of them to a person this has got to be the focus this got to be the focus
00:50:15.560
of our company we have to get ahead here one of the reasons chaotic is that the most powerful people
00:50:21.880
in the world with the most powerful platforms in the world were shocked by what they saw and since that
00:50:27.800
time we are only we're within 90 days of this happening let me repeat this 90 days of this
00:50:35.000
happening and look at the turmoil that's what we covered it for two years in advance and that's only
00:50:40.280
one segment of transhumanism right this shows you the uh with the the power that's there to grab
00:50:50.520
it's like a land grab now it's totally chaotic and i'll be blunt it's uncontrollable a thousand ben
00:50:58.120
collins a thousand of the top people signed a letter that came out said we need a moratorium of
00:51:03.320
six months and the ones that didn't sign didn't sign because they said there shouldn't be any
00:51:07.960
moratorium they said that wasn't enough we should do airstrikes on people that won't come together and
00:51:13.400
shut all development down all development down that's how important this is and it's got to be
00:51:20.120
treated if it's not treated seriously you're just going to get run over because i can tell you from
00:51:24.360
behind the scenes from the hedge fund guys to the corporations to the guys in this city
00:51:28.200

00:52:05.240
that at some point he's going to have to admit in the same way that boston children's hospital
00:52:09.800
was doing transgender operations on minors that these technologies far beyond that are out of our
