00:10:19.740It's a year in almost, but over, I believe, but it's still very much in a formative phase.
00:10:25.820They could possibly get control over that.
00:10:28.400Pure speculation on my part, but I think that those efforts that you just mentioned before
00:10:33.180on the ground to make sure data centers are not becoming a scourge in people's backyards
00:10:39.220And also at the state level to make sure that children are protected from these systems, that they're not being induced into suicide or any other sort of bizarre sorts of behavior.
00:10:49.620And at the national level, the real accountability that these companies should have, you do have the beginnings of the fight there.
00:10:57.160That fight, Steve, beginning on the ground and moving its way up from the state to the federal level, that's not going to stop.
00:11:03.480And you have more and more people from the left, from the right, independents who are looking at this and they're saying we are being sold a bill of goods in religious language.
00:11:14.420They're building a digital God, sand gods. We don't buy it. We don't believe in it. We're not going to kneel to that digital God.
00:11:22.760I think that that uprising from all sorts of political leanings is going to be a formidable opponent in this.
00:11:31.360We don't have the money that they have, but we have the people.
00:20:12.180We look at what happened in the Roman Republic.
00:20:13.780We look at it even in the Bolshevik Revolution when the worker's paradise was promised.
00:20:19.200And we know that when that utopia was promised, it ended in the gulag.
00:20:22.300And we don't want to see that happen to ourselves and to our families.
00:20:26.140And so I think the other thing that's important to remember, though, is that this could be an incredibly beneficial technology if properly steered.
00:20:33.960And I think the tech industry overplayed its hand when it tried to move forward without any rules.
00:20:38.580Now, if we can get the rules of the road right, we can protect the middle class.
00:20:42.480We can assure their economic viability in the future.
00:20:45.680We might be able to unlock an incredibly prosperous future for all Americans.
00:20:50.060And that's going to be some work that we're going to have to engineer that outcome.
00:20:53.480And under current conditions, I'm not confident that our colleagues here in D.C. are kind of waking up to this yet.
00:24:14.700And at the same time, they're dealing with their own workforce who want to see stronger guardrails in some respects than the executives.
00:24:21.620So when these policies come out, there's a lot of internal negotiation between the executives, the C-suite, and the rank-and-file workers over this.
00:24:29.820And those rank-and-file workers are some of the most well-paid and highly educated workforce in the entire world, and they have a lot of leverage right now.
00:24:36.760And so the companies have to kind of listen to them.
00:24:38.920So kind of looking around the corner, it's really important to note that OpenAI is talking about superintelligence and putting out a concrete policy proposal.
00:24:46.500They're talking about things like the right for everyone to use an AI system.
00:24:50.300They're talking about social safety nets.
00:24:52.940This is kind of like happening at the same time as Goldman Sachs just releasing a report that says AI is costing about $25,000 or 25,000 jobs per month now.
00:25:02.360And Gen Z is very limited economic prospects in the near future.
00:25:06.560And the bottom line is like, we don't know exactly what the future, like the contours of the future will look like.
00:25:11.260We know there's a tidal wave off the coast of the country and it's at least 100 meters tall and we need to start buttoning down the hatches.
00:25:20.500Mark, where do people go to get more of this information you just talked about and where they find out more about you and in your policy network?
00:25:27.960So we're the AI Policy Network, the AIPN.org slash membership.
00:25:33.160You can join up and join the movement.
00:44:48.200But the thing is repeat fraud, including over in India, where they're recruiting these people that tell you a lot of these people don't even have degrees.
00:44:57.020So what is it going to take to get to the heart of this and shut the entire thing down and embarrass and humiliate people that, hey, you're not going to get to Congress.
00:45:07.780You're not going to get back in if you support H-1B visas and things like OPT.
00:45:12.260It's outrageous that American parents are sitting there and understanding their kids coming out with getting more limited opportunities every day because of artificial intelligence in tech now have to have a situation where the U.S. government's underwriting foreign students in the engineering and computer science field that take priority because we underwrite it, take priority over American kids at these companies because they're underwritten.
00:45:41.340and they can just slide into an H-1B visa, ma'am. Yeah. I mean, this is the problem, Steve. This is
00:45:47.000all about cheap labor all the way through the pipeline. It's about cheap labor. So until we
00:45:53.320make it so that it is more expensive to hire a foreign worker than an American, Congress is going
00:46:01.260to keep listening to the donors who are telling Congress, we won't be able to survive. Our company
00:46:06.540won't survive if we don't have cheap foreign labor. Well, you know, Steve, if we could put
00:46:11.340into place even a temporary solution to this so that we could show Congress that nobody's going
00:46:19.000to go out of business if they can't have a cheap foreign H-1B worker, and then we could actually
00:46:25.360say, okay, see, nothing happened. We didn't have Armageddon. Nothing fell apart. And then we could
00:46:30.740end the program. I just don't see Congress. We're seeing increasing numbers of members of Congress
00:46:37.640listening to the problems. And some of them have children who have gone to college and studied in
00:46:44.520tech fields and now can't find jobs. And that's helping us. But it's so slow. I mean, Congress is
00:46:50.960always so slow to get on the ball. But we've got to do something. And if we could get a partial
00:46:58.240fix to this, I would take it because that's at least a few American workers who are going to be
00:47:03.560better off than right now. But the situation, the status quo is completely unsustainable.
00:47:10.700It is devastating American workers. It's got to stop. And I think we will be able to
00:47:17.540at least start the process of fixing it this year.
00:47:22.140is the is the uh what president trump and lutna came up with paying the hundred thousand dollars
00:47:29.340is that had much of a impact at all that they've got to pay a bigger essentially license fee to
00:47:35.340get the hb1 workers in has that is that stunted this program at all it has scared a lot of the
00:47:41.800employers but the problem is if those employers can get their h1bs through the foreign student
00:47:48.200program or through the OPT program, they bypass that $100,000 fee. So, I mean, the problem is the
00:47:56.360president did what he is authorized to do. He can only do that with new admissions. Congress should
00:48:03.880come in and say that $100,000 fee applies across the board to every H-1B visa. Congress should also
00:48:11.880say it's a three-year visa. You don't get to bring your family. You come for three years and then you
00:48:17.460leave. Congress should also cut out all the exemptions to the cap and lower the cap. Congress
00:48:22.940should also say, if you get an H-1B visa, you can't adjust your status within the United States
00:48:29.920to anything else. You have to leave, period, full stop. Same thing if you come as a foreign student.
00:48:34.900When you graduate, you leave, full stop. Those are the kinds of things that would make an immediate
00:48:40.200difference and are less frightening to the donor class. Well, they're still going to be
00:48:46.060frightening to the donor class, but less frightening to members of Congress than just
00:48:50.740eliminating the program altogether. We'll take whatever we can get on this because
00:48:55.660Americans have to be put first and they are not now being put first.
00:49:03.040Rosemary, where do people go to find out more about your fight and what you're doing in leading
00:49:08.940this effort we're at iaproject.org iaproject.org we're on x at iaproject we need all the support
00:49:19.780we can get because you know we're butting up against the donor class here so we love the
00:49:25.120posse and appreciate your support the donor class that has run the republican party this is what
00:49:32.620they ran it into the ground before president trump they could not have won an election without
00:49:36.200president trump you just can't do it impossible they still haven't shown how they've can win any
00:49:40.840elections president trump's the war and posse and president trump and the mega base have won i think
00:49:45.520eight of the nine on a national level since he's been involved the one only one we've lost is the
00:49:51.220is nancy pelosi uh in 18 we beat her every other year but in 18 rosemary jenks uh did you give you
00:49:59.180also your social media or just give the website at i a project on x thank you man appreciate you
00:50:09.060thank you we're going to try to get the uh i'm gonna try to get the filmmaker up and do this
00:50:14.520tomorrow and break down part of this film and so everybody can see it pretty explosive
00:50:17.940and uh i'm really proud a lot of these young filmmakers are getting this type of material
00:50:23.800going out and making very compelling product is a perfect no right because these guys are working
00:50:30.020on bootstrap bootstrap um they're bootstrapping these films just absolutely incredible but this
00:50:36.520one's very powerful in the situation with h1b as i've said from the very beginning it's a natural
00:50:42.700it's a it's a scam they ought to pull every h1b holder pull the visa immediately and send them
00:50:51.540and their families back home wherever that home is they still have never shown a billet that an
00:50:58.880american worker couldn't fill it they had a education and or job experience it's a total
00:51:05.240scam it's just to suppress wages and now with artificial intelligence on becoming at one angle
00:51:11.340and the h1b and the foreign workers come another angle you wonder people why these young people
00:51:17.180why these particularly young men why are they so frustrated why are they so angry uh because
00:51:22.420the very system that their parents and grandparents and others sacrifice to for this country
00:51:28.620and they see their older brothers or their uncles or their fathers that are sent over and fighting
00:51:35.240these foreign wars and then they don't accrete the value of it it's a it's sick it's sick and
00:51:43.140has to be unwound. America, we have to put America first, and we're not doing that. America has to be
00:51:49.620first in everything. But American citizens have to be above all. American citizens should have
00:51:56.780a special deal, kind of like citizenship in the Roman Empire or the Roman Republic. Back in the
00:52:03.460days of that republic, the Roman citizenship came with big benefits. It had big obligations too.
00:52:10.500but you've got big obligations here the military is voluntary people serve that
00:52:16.240they build the communities they coach the little leagues they are that civic society that underpins
00:52:22.440everything burks little platoons that's what keeps the system going and it's the people in
00:52:27.980the little platoons are being crushed by foreign interest or worse collaborators yes i use the c
00:52:36.300word collaborators, collaborators here in the United States of America. This thing's got to be
00:52:42.460solved. It's got to be solved. We don't have a choice. Got to solve it. I'm all for a moratorium
00:52:48.920of at least 10 years on all immigration, legal immigration, illegal immigration. They all got
00:52:55.420to go home, mass deportations, or you're not going to have a country. Birch Gold, now more than ever,
