A massive anti-ICE protest descended on downtown Chicago tonight. California's governor files an emergency motion to block President Trump's deployment of troops, a federal judge denied that request, and in Washington, D.C., where I'll be at the military parade on Saturday, you can imagine some protesters that start going after the military there as well.
00:00:56.840So I'll be going there with the First Lady at a certain point.
00:01:00.580And he'll be coming here, hopefully, with the First Lady of China.
00:01:04.720We are also going to be restoring the names to Fort Pickett, Fort Hood, Fort Gordon, Fort Rucker,
00:01:15.080Fort Polk, Fort A.P. Hill, and Fort Robert E. Lee.
00:01:20.320I wanted to let the city know that I have declared a local emergency and issued a curfew for downtown Los Angeles to stop the vandalism, to stop the looting.
00:01:36.600This is the first curfew in downtown Los Angeles since the George Floyd protests.
00:01:41.320California's governor filed an emergency motion today to block President Trump's deployment of troops.
00:01:49.680A federal judge out of San Francisco today has denied that request.
00:01:58.060Chanting, marching, blocking roads during rush hour, and sometimes facing off with crowds of police.
00:02:04.120A massive anti-ICE protest descended on downtown Chicago tonight.
00:02:12.120Demonstration is happening outside the Seattle Federal Building, where people are trying to stop ICE from leaving with immigrants who have been detained.
00:02:19.460We will send them back, and we will take back our country.
00:02:35.020Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily here live, Washington, D.C.
00:02:50.840We are never going to get another opportunity than the one we have right now.
00:02:56.880There's never going to be a better opportunity than the chance we have right now on mass deportations.
00:03:03.040Call it the stars aligning, call it whatever you want, but when you look at these insane riots which started in Los Angeles that have now spread coast to coast, it's the entire country.
00:03:11.400We got New York, you got Atlanta, and this weekend, if you think L.A. was big, wait until you see what they're calling the No Kings riots that are going to be.
00:03:21.980And Rachel Maddow's up there on MSNBC every night chanting these things on.
00:03:26.360You've got the guys from Indivisible are going to come out.
00:03:29.240Every left-wing, Soros-aligned org is pumping money into this thing.
00:03:34.660Philadelphia apparently is the flagship.
00:03:36.500And in Washington, D.C., where I'll be at the military parade, you've got to imagine that there's going to be some protesters that start going after the military there as well.
00:03:45.700Now, look, this is all going to come to a head on Saturday.
00:03:50.400But as the country watches these scenes play out, foreign flag, the flags of invaders marching across our streets, the more Trump escalates on immigration, the more popular he becomes because the backlash to the insanity in American cities is growing and becoming more and more galvanized.
00:15:40.220Congressman, while we have you on here for a few more moments, I got to get your response.
00:15:45.640The L.A. riots, this discussion about perhaps use of the Riot Act, obviously the Insurrection Act, all of these various potential uses of the military.
00:16:30.460And it's not fair to the LAPD to just say, ah, you know what?
00:16:32.920You guys just are going to have to deal with that.
00:16:34.820So, of course, we should be sending in the National Guard and making a statement about we will not stand for this.
00:16:39.340One thing we notice as we look at this, though, is, okay, so you get arrested for burning a police car.
00:16:46.560And let's say you're not a U.S. citizen, but you're here legally.
00:16:50.040Let's say you're a permanent resident or DACA recipient.
00:16:54.740Well, there's a number of things in law that allow for your legal status to be revoked.
00:17:03.440But among those is not necessarily engaging in a riot, harming a police officer, burning a cop car during a state of national emergency.
00:17:12.380So I'm introducing or I just introduced the Riot Act with a bunch of co-sponsors, which fixes that loophole.
00:17:18.280We should be able to look because everybody's imagining that that person running around, burning things and carrying the Mexican flag.
00:17:23.960I don't know if that person's illegal or legal or what they are, but if they are here on some kind of legal status but not a U.S. citizen, that should be factored in.
00:17:33.620The fact that they're rioting and doing what they're doing should be factored in to whether or not they get to keep their status here legally or not.
00:17:41.540Wait, wait, wait, Congressman, I just want to make sure that we're hearing you clearly here.
00:17:46.320So you're saying that as it is currently written in law, these types of activities could cause someone could not cause someone or not meet the threshold for losing their ability to stay legally in the United States.
00:18:07.000But as far as deportation, as far as losing your legal status, that wouldn't that wouldn't be part of the equation because it's just it's not one of the list of things where were you which would revoke your status, for instance.
00:18:20.940And so we're simply adding this into it, given given the times we're in.
00:18:24.960Well, and that's a great point there, because so much of our immigration legal system is just antiquated.
00:18:32.160It's not actually written to be met with the situation at hand today.
00:18:37.280It's written for, you know, the Ellis Island era or, you know, various other eras of immigration that we've had in the past.
00:18:45.160And none of the Irish immigration, et cetera.
00:18:47.180None of this was ever written for this mass, this mass open borders or a mass situation where we have this just these invaders that have come across some 10 million plus in just four years.
00:19:01.940And we have we're dealing with this legislative framework.
00:19:05.160This is totally inadequate to meet the moment.
00:19:07.300Yeah, no, the tools just aren't there.
00:19:09.340And and so, look, this is a bill that just that that fixes just one of those many, many loopholes.
00:19:16.660And it doesn't for any detractors, not that they're not on this show, but but but but critics would say, oh, well, you're trying to stifle free speech.
00:19:24.260People who protest would not have their their status revoked.
00:19:29.260You've already committed a criminal act that you would go to jail for anyway.
00:19:32.640We're just saying that if you're going to go to jail for that criminal act, then it should also have an impact on your on your immigration status.
00:19:37.720I don't think that's a crazy thing to do.
00:19:39.500Right. If you're here on a student visa or a work visa or LPR, green card, whatever it is.
00:19:45.480OK, you are not given that as a means to be able to participate in riots against law enforcement or military or anyone else that you might be encountering out there.
00:19:56.800That's that's not what you're allowed to do.
00:19:58.240That is a privilege and it should be revoked immediately.
00:20:41.640We post a lot of those stories that you won't find anywhere else there as well.
00:20:45.640And we'll keep you updated on on our progress is that there's a lot to do on this subject.
00:20:49.560But I'm excited about the fact that we finally have all the right pieces in place to maybe make some progress and actually fight this insurgency.
00:25:53.160But also the huge news that just dropped is that one of the biggest AI companies out there mid-journey is being sued by Disney.
00:26:02.540And I expect more are going to get in on this lawsuit over copyright infringement.
00:26:06.740And I'm sitting here thinking, wait a minute, that's exactly what you and I were talking about the very last time I had you on the show a couple of days ago.
00:26:15.720Look, I can't believe I'm going to do this, but I'm actually going to defend Disney's actions on national television.
00:26:21.360You know, the Disney attorney said piracy is piracy, and it's right.
00:26:26.040AI companies have basically plundered copyrighted material from publications, conservative and liberal publications, from movies, you know, from news programs.
00:26:39.060You know, they have basically plundered all of our intellectual property.
00:26:43.140And we're going to have to have these discussions and say, not just in the courts, because, yeah, we can fight it out in the courts, but there's a lot more than that.
00:26:51.480It's a shift in terms of what it means, you know, to have intellectual property, to be able to own what you created.
00:26:59.780And the way the AI companies are going, they obviously don't want you to own anything.
00:27:06.000Remember what Klaus Schwab said, you'll own nothing and like it.
00:27:09.720Well, and that sort of comes down to so and for folks who didn't catch the previous piece that you put up, what you were talking about was this idea that what these AI companies are doing is that they were going out and sucking up a lot of copyrighted content and essentially using it to program these large language models.
00:27:30.140So program Grok, to train Grok, to train MidJourney, to train ChatGPT, and they're plugging in books, news articles, movies, podcasts, whatever, but not actually going and getting a license from any of the owners of this.
00:27:46.020And that is, and so Disney is coming in, and let's just be frank, we know that Disney has always, always been very, and anyone in the business knows that Disney is the strongest one when it comes to defending the IP.
00:27:58.640God, you know, God forbid you mess around with Mickey Mouse or, you know, those others out there, even though I believe the first iteration, Steamboat Mickey, is now free domain.
00:28:11.580It's in public domain because it hit the 100-year threshold.
00:28:16.220But no, Disney is extremely limited to just, you know, you drop something about the Avengers or one of their Marvel properties, Spider-Man now, I guess they have, whatever else.
00:28:24.660They're coming after you. They're absolutely coming after you.
00:28:27.760And so they've got the pockets to actually fight some of these big companies. Is that the idea here?
00:28:34.460Absolutely. And look, they have the right to. It's their property. They paid a lot of money for Marvel.
00:28:39.220They've invested years into their intellectual property.
00:28:43.260Whether you like Disney as a company, which I particularly don't, but at the same time, Disney is, you know, has a right to its intellectual property.
00:28:51.220And, you know, what's happened is these AI companies, you know, basically said, hey, we're going to steal everything we can to train our models and we'll get back to the intellectual property later.
00:29:02.920But they haven't really moved fast enough for these, to create these kind of license deals.
00:29:08.660And Disney is within its rights and it's within its power to sue.
00:29:14.880And now what we talked about last time was, you know, they're paying these liberal publications, like massive deals to the New York Times, to the Washington Post, to Axios and Politico.
00:29:27.360And, you know, they need to make the same market deals with conservative publications, like Postmillennial Human Events and the Washington Examiner and Uncovered DC.
00:29:38.340All of these publications that they are also taking intellectual property from, they need to pay for their content, not only for licensing purposes, but also to balance the scale.
00:29:50.200Because, you know, we all know that AI has a massive liberal bias problem.
00:29:57.860So tell me a little bit more about your new piece regarding AI.
00:30:03.240I'm being told, by the way, that Rust Vote is going to be holding a gaggle in a few minutes.
00:30:06.880So we're going to see if we can pull that up.
00:30:08.580But before that time, can you tell us a little bit more about your new piece about the way we should be thinking about AI as an entity more than a technology?
00:31:07.680Entities without morality crash and burn.
00:31:11.940Entities without the principles that are installed in the foundation of our nation, the biblical principles that are founded, is what made the United States the best country in the world.
00:31:23.420And we need to instill biblical principles into the AI framework, into the core of the AI programming, and to make sure that it always protects human dignity.
00:31:35.500But we do have to treat it as an entity.
00:31:37.400And we're running out of time because the longer it takes for us to make these decisions, like thou shall not steal, as a great example with what's going on with content in Disney,
00:31:46.660if the longer it takes us to do it, the more powerful AI is going to become, and the harder it's going to be to constrain.
00:31:58.040And so we, and by the way, I'm being told that the Rust vote gaggle is imminent, but also that it hasn't begun yet.
00:32:05.260So we can chat for a little longer, Larry.
00:32:07.600The idea being, though, that as, look, AI is going to be here to stay.
00:32:11.100And it's here, it's not going away, just like any new technology.
00:32:14.700Internet 1.0, 2.0, of course, with the social media.
00:32:18.700And AI is really, in a sense, Internet 3.0 or Web 3.0.
00:32:22.680And these new technologies never leave.
00:32:24.960The question is, are we going to utilize them properly as tools, or are these tools going to become more powerful than us directly and have this power over us?
00:32:36.920And we've already seen this, by the way, doctors going to chat GPT and Grok to look up things and finding absolute failures.
00:32:44.880Or I saw one the other day of someone talking about a car.
00:32:48.780They were doing a DIY problem, and they were trying to work on their car.
00:32:53.520And it just gave them these options that were completely beyond anything that were useful.
00:33:00.620And the guy's car was, like, completely messed up, transmission blown, all the rest of it.
00:33:05.100And so while these issues do exist, we have to understand this is the worst AI is ever going to be.
00:33:12.500It's only going to get better and more powerful from here.
00:33:24.560And he's got two new columns up on humanevents.com that you guys really need to read.
00:33:30.200One about all about the copyright issues regarding AI and some of the big, big money that's going to bat.
00:33:37.560And Larry called it, just absolutely called it, Disney now suing some of the biggest AI companies out there regarding copyright over Disney IP.
00:35:04.180And we are talking all about these issues with AI, also being told that Russ Vogt, the OMB director, may be coming out soon for a gaggle over at the White House.
00:35:14.880If that happens, we will cut to that momentarily.
00:35:18.180But in the meantime, Larry, you've got these two huge pieces up all about AI.
00:35:30.360And they're seeing people with their investir why we're on Google Rivera, please, and they're disputed.
00:35:41.680that google might also be facing a lawsuit as well or potentially uh steering into some choppy water
00:35:48.640with something they're doing isn't that right well absolutely if you go to google search right now
00:35:53.440and you're typing in something you're you're pulling up google summary of the content that
00:35:58.480you're looking for and where are they getting that content from they're getting it from
00:36:02.400the content creators who have intellectual property rights to it and what it's doing is
00:36:07.120is creating a zero click economy for these publishers which means that everything is
00:36:12.240going to be answered for you in these chat windows and you won't need to go to the source and obviously
00:36:17.360we know that publishers and content creators earn money on their content based on advertising or
00:36:24.560selling subscriptions or selling uh or or selling books and and and uh and videos and such like that
00:36:32.160so what they're doing is taking all of that content they're using it for their own benefit now of
00:36:36.960course there's ads on google so google's making money on that content but the uh but the actual
00:36:43.200content creators are getting are getting uh pulled out of it and and we have to um you know think this
00:36:49.440through you know we can't survive if the content creators uh you know are are going to be starved
00:36:56.080we need good content we need to pay for it well and so what google is doing now is rather than link to
00:37:03.920and and everyone knows you know google started as a search engine the idea and going back that was
00:37:08.880you know really kind of i guess i would say a bridge between web 1.0 web 2.0 was the search
00:37:14.720engine because of course websites were going back into like deep internet lore right you know people
00:37:20.240had websites but you didn't know what website was out there because there was no way to know what you
00:37:26.000didn't know and so the idea of the search engine came up well okay well i can search this the website and
00:37:31.520there were there were a ton of these there was meta crawler there was yahoo uh and then eventually
00:37:36.640um google came up and just just beat them all and they still would go to link to a site so you would
00:37:45.680go to that site and then you could click and you would get their content you might get a little
00:37:49.040you know two sentence blurb uh in in the middle but now what they're doing is they're going to the
00:37:55.680site summarizing it for you and then tracking back so of course what does that what does that do well
00:38:00.880that keeps you on google longer so you're being fed that google's content more and more and that's
00:38:06.320what they that's of course what google wants right oh absolutely because they don't have to share their
00:38:11.840revenue um you know they keep all the revenue on and look google has its own antitrust issues
00:38:17.840and this isn't going to help that um not even not even a little bit so you know what what has to
00:38:23.120happen is they've got to reject those links in you know perplexity is actually doing a better job
00:38:28.800with this because they they'll summarize this stuff but they'll tell you exactly where they
00:38:32.480got their content and give you the links so you can go to to those uh pages on their own but all of
00:38:38.160these ai platforms must license the content from the content creator uh before it can use it and and
00:38:44.320they should it's the right thing to do that's exactly right larry where can people go to access your
00:38:51.280new op-ed and get more info humanevents.com it's it's uh it's a really important op-ed it kind of
00:38:58.560sets the framework to what ai is really what it is not it's not just a technology it's a synthetic
00:39:05.040entity and we actually have to look at it because entities are dangerous when they're when they're
00:39:09.760uncontrolled no i think that's exactly right thank you so much live for being on folks what we're what
00:39:15.440we're seeing here okay this is this is the confluence of so many different threats right
00:39:20.560now you've got the rise of ai which needs to be codified and needs to be met head-on absolutely
00:39:27.520head-on and i use ai i use it as a tool okay i use it a ton but at the same time we have to be careful
00:39:33.680with where it's going that's number one number two the protests la the mass migration what do you
00:39:42.160think is going to happen in this country when all of the jobs get taken by ai and we've got these
00:39:49.760millions and millions of low-skill laborers here who don't have work you think the protests this week
00:39:58.800are bad you think the protests on saturday are going to be bad why do you think they're burning waymos
00:40:05.200because the waymo self-driving taxi is a direct competitor to the illegals and don't even try to
00:40:11.920tell me that the illegals aren't driving uber because we all know they are get it together
00:40:18.160this is a fight that's brewing and it comes to a head saturday ladies and gentlemen as always you
