[00:02:01] THAT SHOULD BE PLACED ON IT RAGES ON IN WASHINGTON D.C.
[00:02:04] CONTINUING WITH AN UNLIKELY PAIR.
[00:02:07] INDEPENDENT SENATOR BERNIE
[00:02:09] SANDERS AND FORMER TRUMP ADVISER
[00:02:12] STEVE BANNON ARE SET TO APPEAR
[00:02:13] AT A PRO-HUMAN A.I. CONFERENCE
[00:02:17] IN THE CAPITAL CITY AS PRESIDENT
[00:02:20] TRUMP TWEETED OVERNIGHT -- OR TRUTH SOCIAL, SLAMMING CRITICS
[00:02:24] OF A.I.. SAYING THE A.I. HOAX BEING
[00:02:27] PERPETRATED BY THE RADICAL LEFT
[00:02:31] DEMOCRATS IS REMINISCENT OF
[00:02:35] THEIR GLOBAL SCAM WHERE NOT SO LONG AGO EVERYONE IS GOING TO
[00:02:39] DIE FROM EXTREME HEAT. WHAT?
[00:02:42] MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. THAT WAS ONE OF SEVERAL TRUTH
[00:02:46] SOCIALS THAT THE PRESIDENT
[00:02:49] PUBLISHED LAST NIGHT. NOW, DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN RAILING
[00:02:52] AGAINST A.I. CALLING FOR A SLOW
[00:02:55] DOWN HERE AS SENATE MINORITY
[00:02:59] LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER SAYING CONGRESS NEEDS TO ACT.
[00:03:02] >> MAY -- ON THE WARNING OF A.I.
[00:03:13] HAS NEVER BEEN CLEARER BUT WHAT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S RESPONSE TO
[00:03:18] REGULATE A.I.? TRUMP SAYS THE ONLY CONTROL OR
[00:03:22] GUARDRAILS THAT A.I. NEEDS IS A
[00:03:24] STRONG AND SMART HIGH IQ PRESIDENT.
[00:03:27] WELL, EVEN IF WE HAD A HIGH IQ
[00:03:30] PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW, AND WE SURELY DON'T, IT WOULDN'T BE
[00:03:34] ENOUGH. CONGRESS CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN A
[00:03:38] BLIND EYE TO A.I.
[00:03:41] TODAY I AM CALLING FOR AN ALL
[00:03:45] SENATORS CLASSIFIED BRIEFING WITH TOP ADMINISTRATION
[00:03:48] OFFICIALS TO ADDRESS THE DANGERS
[00:03:50] OF UNCHECKED A.I. DEVELOPMENT
[00:03:53] AND HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS LACK OF
[00:03:56] ACTION TO PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[00:03:59] I'VE LONG ARGUED WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE U.S. REMAIN THE
[00:04:02] GLOBAL LEADER IN INNOVATION AND
[00:04:06] SECURITY. WE ALL KNOW THE TRANSFORMATIONAL
[00:04:10] INNOVATION THAT CAN COME FROM A.I. FOR ADVANCES IN MEDICINE,
[00:04:14] SCIENCE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH, AND SO MUCH MORE.
[00:04:17] BUT I'VE ALSO ALWAYS SAID THAT
[00:04:20] IF OUR ECONOMY AND SOCIETY IS TO
[00:04:23] REAP THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF
[00:04:25] A.I. WE NEED SUSTAINABLE
[00:04:30] INNOVATION AS WELL. THAT MEANS PUTTING GUARDRAILS IN
[00:04:32] TO MITIGATE THE RISKS OF THIS
[00:04:35] TECHNOLOGY AND EARN THE PUBLIC'S TRUST, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO
[00:04:38] AMERICAN LEADERSHIP. IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THE
[00:04:41] IMPORTANCE OF THESE STRONG GUARDRAILS HAVE BECOME MORE
[00:04:45] APPARENT. JUST THIS WEEKEND LEADING VOICES FROM THE A.I. INDUSTRY CAME
[00:04:49] TOGETHER TO SOUND THE ALARM AND
[00:04:51] EMBRACE A SLOWER DEVELOPMENT OF
[00:04:53] A.I. TO AVOID DAMAGING OUTCOMES.
[00:04:55] THIS COMES AFTER WEEKS OF REVELATION OF A.I. GOING ROGUE
[00:04:59] AND WORKING TOGETHER TO HACK
[00:05:01] WEBSITES WITHOUT HUMAN CONTROL.
[00:05:04] AND OF REAL CONCERNS OF THE
[00:05:08] POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC RISKS OF UNCHECKED A.I.
[00:05:12] HOST: THAT WAS SENATE DEMOCRATIC LEADER CHUCK SCHUMER
[00:05:15] TALKING ABOUT THE NEED, HE
[00:05:17] BELIEVES FOR CONGRESS TO STEP IN
[00:05:21] AND SET GUARDRAILS AROUND
[00:05:25] ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. WE'RE ASKING WHAT YOUR TOP NEWS
[00:05:28] STORY OF THE DAY IS, HAMILTON FROM YORK, PENNSYLVANIA, AN
[00:05:32] INDEPENDENT. GOOD MORNING WHAT'S YOUR TOP
[00:05:33] NEWS STORY OF THE DAY?
[00:05:38] CALLER: GOOD MORNING, JW ON A
[00:05:40] HIGH NOTE, HOW ABOUT THOSE BEARS THIS WEEKEND.
[00:05:42] HOST: DON'T GET ME EXCITED.
[00:05:44] >> CALLER: I WAS SAYING THAT.
[00:05:47] MINE IS A.I. AND THE FACT THAT
[00:05:51] IT COULD DESTROY THE WORLD AND
[00:05:54] WHO DO WE HAVE DEFENDING IT?
[00:06:00] THE MOST, OUR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, WHO SEEMS TO HAVE
[00:06:03] INVESTED IN A.I. AND THE TECH
[00:06:07] BROS.
[00:06:09] HE CAN'T BE AN OBJECTIVE PERSON
[00:06:13] ON THIS THING, AND THIS THING
[00:06:16] COULD AFFECT ALL OF US IF IT GETS OUT OF THE BOX.
[00:06:20] HE'S GOT A MEETING WITH PING
[00:06:23] FROM CHINA AND IT COULD GO VERY, VERY BAD.
[00:06:27] HE'S USING CHINA AS A SCAPEGOAT
[00:06:30] AGAIN WHEN WE SHOULD CONNECT WITH CHINA AND PUT A CAP ON THIS
[00:06:34] THING AND PUT A CAP ON IT FAST
[00:06:36] BECAUSE IF WE DON'T -- HEY, IT
[00:06:38] COULD GO VERY, VERY BAD.
[00:06:41] HAVE A GREAT DAY, AMERICA.
[00:06:43] AND THANKS JW FOR BEING PRETTY
[00:06:46] THIS MORNING. HOST: THAT'S HAMILTON FROMWORK,
[00:06:50] PENNSYLVANIA. IT'S NOT JUST DEMOCRATS SAYING MORE GUARDRAILS SHOULD GO UP
[00:06:53] AROUND A.I., ALSO REPUBLICANS HAVE JOINED IN, TAKE A LISTEN TO
[00:06:57] HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON YESTERDAY IN CAPITOL HILL WHEN
[00:07:00] ASKED WHAT HIS CAUCUS SHOULD DO
[00:07:03] TO RESPOND TO THE GROWING CONVERSATION.
[00:07:06] >> CONGRESS, I THINK, HAS A ROLE, RESPONSIBILITY, BUT THE
[00:07:10] PEOPLE WHO ARE PROVIDING AND CREATING THESE PRODUCTS
[00:07:13] OBVIOUSLY HAVE RESPONSIBILITY AS WELL. THERE IS A CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND AN
[00:07:17] EXPECTATION THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE SAFE PRODUCTS.
[00:07:20] YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF OPINIONS ON THIS OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
[00:07:24] DAYS. I'VE HAD AN OPINION AS WELL, AS
[00:07:26] YOU ALL KNOW WE BEGAN THE A.I. TASK FORCE, A BIPARTISAN WORKING
[00:07:30] GROUP ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I BECAME SPEAKER I THINK IT WAS
[00:07:33] FEBRUARY OF '24, SO A FEW MONTHS AFTER I GOT THE GAVEL. THEY WORKED FOR A LONG, LONG
[00:07:37] TIME. WE HAD AN EQUAL NUMBER OF REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ON THE
[00:07:41] COMMITTEE. THEY CAME UP WITH A REPORT, THEY
[00:07:44] HAVE IDEAS ON HOW TO DO IT. EACH OF THE A.I. PLATFORMS HAVE
[00:07:48] IDEAS, NONE OF THEM ARE CONSISTENT.
[00:07:51] REMEMBERING THE A.I. PLATFORMS
[00:07:54] ARE COMPETITORS AS WELL. WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
[00:07:57] THIS. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN OUR EDGE OVER CHINA, THAT'S WHAT THE
[00:08:01] PRESIDENT IS LASER FOCUSED ON AND WE ARE AS WELL.
[00:08:04] AS IT IS SAID WHOEVER ACHIEVES
[00:08:08] AUTOMATED GENERAL INTELLIGENCE FIRST PROBABLY HAS AN EDGE OVER
[00:08:11] EVERYBODY AROUND THE WORLD -- >> BUT THE PRESIDENT -- >> HOLD ON JUST A SECOND.
[00:08:15] IF WE SLOW DOWN INNOVATION TOO
[00:08:17] MUCH, AMERICAN INNOVATION, WE LOSE THAT CRITICAL RACE.
[00:08:21] SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT CAN BE RUSHED INTO. WE HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT
[00:08:25] THIS, DELIBERATING IT, RESEARCHING IT, DISCUSSING IT
[00:08:28] FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. AS YOU KNOW, I CALLED FOR A MEETING OF THE PLATFORM
[00:08:32] PROVIDERS. I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO SUMMON EVERYONE TOGETHER
[00:08:35] PROBABLY AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I EXPECT THAT HAPPENS AT THE END
[00:08:38] OF THIS WEEK, EARLY NEXT WEEK. THAT HASN'T BEEN SCHEDULED YET
[00:08:42] BUT THERE WILL BE A PROCESS. THERE WILL BE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
[00:08:46] COMPANIES TO MAINTAIN SAFETY AND WHAT ROLE, IF ANY, THE FWOVT HAS
[00:08:50] TO PLAY IN THAT. , BUT AGAIN WE DID NOT WANT TO
[00:08:53] JUMP IN, THE REFLEX OF
[00:08:56] LEGISLATIVE BODIES IS COVER THINGS UP WITH RED TAPE AND
[00:09:00] HYPER LEGISLATION, IF YOU DO
[00:09:02] THAT, YOU LOSE YOUR EDGE AND
[00:09:06] THAT'S A CONCERN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[00:09:08] >> THE PRESIDENT SAID THERE
[00:09:11] SHOULD BE NO GUARDRAILS OTHER THAN HIMSELF. >> THAT'S THE DISCUSSION THAT
[00:09:14] THE PRESIDENT HAS WITH THE A.I. PROVIDERS AND US AS WE GATHER
[00:09:18] FOR THE MEETING. HOST: THAT WAS HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON PREVIEWING A
[00:09:21] MEETING WITH THE EXECUTIVES AND
[00:09:25] DISCUSSING WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
[00:09:27] SHOULD DO WITH REGARD TO
[00:09:29] GUARDRAILS AROUND A.I. AND TECH COMPANIES.
[00:09:32] CARL FROM AUGUSTA, MAINE, GOOD
[00:09:35] MORNING WHAT'S YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY?
[00:09:39] CALLER: I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH ROBOCALLS AND
[00:09:43] MAKING PURCHASES OVER THE
[00:09:45] INTERNET AND USING A CREDIT CARD
[00:09:48] AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EXPERIENCING ROBOCALLS ALL HOURS
[00:09:51] OF THE DAY AND NIGHT FROM PEOPLE
[00:09:53] WANTING TO COLLECT MONEY OR
[00:09:56] DONATIONS OR -- DOESN'T THE
[00:10:00] AMERICAN PUBLIC RECOGNIZE THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF A.I. IS
[00:10:04] CONSTANT BARRAGE OF HARASSMENT
[00:10:07] PHONE CALLS EVERY DAY?
[00:10:10] I RECEIVE PROBABLY 10 TO 2521 --
[00:10:15] I RECEIVE PROBABLY 10 TO 12 PHONE CALLS A DAY, AND A LOT OF
[00:10:19] TIMES I DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE CALLS.
[00:10:23] I BLAME SPECTRUM FOR PART OF
[00:10:25] THAT BECAUSE ONCE ANY PURCHASE
[00:10:29] IS MADE OVER THE INTERNET OR ON
[00:10:34] PHONE CALL, A PHONE CALL APPEARS
[00:10:37] EVERY HOUR OR TWO HOURS WITH
[00:10:39] REGARD TO RECENT PURCHASES ON THE CREDIT CARD.
[00:10:42] SO I HOPE EVERYBODY IS READY FOR THIS A.I. AND CAN UNDERSTAND
[00:10:45] THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
[00:10:48] YOU KNOW, HALF OF THE ROBOCALLS
[00:10:50] YOU RECEIVE, THEY'RE TRANSFERRED
[00:10:52] TO A CONTRACTOR IN ANOTHER
[00:10:55] COUNTRY SOMEWHERE TO RECEIVE OR
[00:10:57] TRY TO ATTAIN YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
[00:11:01] SO WE'RE CREATING OUR OWN MESS.
[00:11:05] I HAVE HAD A PERSONAL CELL
[00:11:07] PHONE, BUT I'M NOT HOOKED UP TO THE INTERNET.
[00:11:10] I'M NOT HOOKED UP TO ANY
[00:11:13] COMPUTER, FACEBOOK, AND THAT'S BEEN 40 YEARS AND I'VE BEEN
[00:11:17] PERFECTLY HAPPY. I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE SHOULD
[00:11:20] JUST PUT THEIR CELL PHONES DOWN FOR ONE DAY --
[00:11:23] HOST: ALL RIGHT, CARL, I HAVE TO JUMP IN HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE
[00:11:27] A GUEST READY TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS HAPPENING
[00:11:29] LATER ON TODAY. LATER ON TODAY ON CSPAN,
[00:11:34] ACTUALLY. WE WILL BE COVERING FBI DIRECTOR
[00:11:37] KASH PATEL ON CAPITOL HILL WHO WILL TESTIFY BEFORE THE SENATE
[00:11:41] JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ABOUT LAW ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS AND
[00:11:44] PRIORITIES YOU CAN WATCH THAT
[00:11:47] LIVE HERE ON CSPAN AT 9:00 A.M.
[00:11:50] EASTERN ON CSPAN, CSPAN 3 AND TO
[00:11:53] TALK ABOUT THAT WITH US WE HAVE
[00:11:56] CONGRESSIONAL REPORTER FROM POLITICO CHRIS MARQUETTE.
[00:11:59] THANKS FOR BEING WITH US THIS MORNING.
[00:12:01] GUEST: THANKS FOR HAVING ME. HOST: SO KASH PATEL IS TESTIFYING THIS MORNING BEFORE
[00:12:05] THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. WHAT'S THE ON AGENDA AND WHY
[00:12:09] NOW? >> WE'RE EXPECTING DEMOCRATS TO
[00:12:12] DIG INTO WHAT THEY SEE AS THE
[00:12:15] WEAPONIZATION OF THE FBI, ELECTION INTERFERENCE EFFORTS.
[00:12:18] WHAT THEY SEE AS A LACK OF
[00:12:21] I.C.E. PROSECUTIONS FOR BAD
[00:12:24] ACTORS FROM I.C.E. AGENTS, STAFFING ISSUES AMONG THE
[00:12:28] BUREAU.
[00:12:29] AND THE ARCTIC FROST
[00:12:33] INVESTIGATION, THAT JACK SMITH INVESTIGATION AND THE HANDLING OF THE EPSTEIN FILES.
[00:12:37] WE'RE GOING TO EXPECT TO SEE
[00:12:40] CHAIRMAN CHUCK GRASSLY, THE REPUBLICAN FROM IOWA AND A BUNCH
[00:12:44] OF HIS COLLEAGUES ON THE
[00:12:47] REPUBLICAN SIDE ARE GOING TO
[00:12:49] LOOK TO DEFEND THE FBI'S WORK
[00:12:52] AND HIGHLIGHT THE FBI'S
[00:12:54] SUCCESSFUL EFFORTS TO DRIVE A
[00:12:57] HISTORIC DROP IN VIOLENT CRIME
[00:12:59] AND SUPPORT WHISTLEBLOWERS A
[00:13:03] GRASSLY SPOKESPERSON TOLD US. AND HE'S ALSO LOOKING TO BUILD
[00:13:07] ON HIS OVERSIGHT THAT GRASSLEY
[00:13:09] HAS CONDUCTED, EXPOSING HOW DISCREDITED LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
[00:13:13] INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS HAVE WORKED BEHIND THE SCENES TO
[00:13:16] TARGET AND SMEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP AND REPUBLICANS OVER THE PAST DECADE.
[00:13:20] AND THAT'S WHAT A GRASSLY
[00:13:23] SPOKESPERSON TOLD US. SO WE'LL SEE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS
[00:13:27] ATTACKING THE JOB THAT KASH PATEL HAS DONE SO FAR LEADING
[00:13:30] THE FBI AND REPUBLICANS LOOKING TO KIND OF JUMP IN AND SAY, HEY,
[00:13:33] HE'S ACTUALLY DOING A GOOD JOB.
[00:13:37] HOST: I WANT TO DIG IN ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE IN A SECOND BUT
[00:13:40] FIRST, DEMOCRATS HAVE, YOU KNOW,
[00:13:42] ACCUSED AND PATEL IS FACING
[00:13:44] SCRUTINY RIGHT NOW OVER HIS
[00:13:46] TRIPS, ALLEGEDLY MISUSING AGENCY RESOURCES.
[00:13:49] REMIND OUR VIEWERS WHAT EXACTLY IS AT ISSUE HERE.
[00:13:53] GUEST: YEAH, SO THERE WERE A
[00:13:55] LOT OF NEWS REPORTS ABOUT HIM
[00:13:59] TRAVELING ON THE FBI DIME TO,
[00:14:03] YOU KNOW, PARTY WITH THE USA
[00:14:06] HOCKEY TEAM. HE WAS FILMED SLUGGING BEERS
[00:14:10] WITH THE TEAM AFTER ONE OF THEIR WINS.
[00:14:13] YOU KNOW, JETTING OFF TO FOLLOW
[00:14:18] THE PERFORMANCES OF HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO'S A COUNTRY MUSIC
[00:14:22] MUSICIAN AND A BUNCH OF
[00:14:26] DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE JET AND, YOU KNOW, ALLEGATIONS OF
[00:14:30] MISSPENDING OFFICIAL RESOURCES.
[00:14:32] AND THAT'S AN AREA THAT SENATOR
[00:14:37] DICK DURBIN, THE RANKING MEMBER
[00:14:40] ON THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE
[00:14:44] LOOKING TO DIG INTO. A SPOKESPERSON FOR DURBIN TOLD
[00:14:48] US THEY'RE LOOKING TO HOLD
[00:14:50] DIRECTOR PATEL ACCOUNTABLE FOR
[00:14:52] HIS FAILED LEADERSHIP AND THAT
[00:14:55] INCLUDES, YOU KNOW, THE MISUSE
[00:14:57] OF FBI RESOURCES, THE JET INSTANCES I MENTIONED AND
[00:15:01] ALLEGATIONS OF DRINKING ON THE JOB, WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN
[00:15:04] PUBLIC REPORTS OF.
[00:15:06] HOST: DEMOCRATS HAVE STARTED TO PREVIEW SOME OF THE
[00:15:10] INVESTIGATIONS THEY PLAN TO LAUNCH SHOULD THEY RETAKE THE HOUSE COME NOVEMBER.
[00:15:13] SO STARTING IN JANUARY. SHOULD VIEWERS BE WATCHING THIS
[00:15:17] HEARING BELIEVING THIS IS A PREVIEW OF THINGS THAT PERHAPS
[00:15:20] COULD COME IF DEMOCRATS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN NOVEMBER?
[00:15:23] GUEST: YEAH. I THINK, YOU KNOW, THE WAY THAT
[00:15:27] I THINK DEMOCRATS ARE THINKING,
[00:15:29] THEY'RE SEEMING A LOT MORE
[00:15:32] BULLISH ON THEIR ABILITY TO TAKE
[00:15:34] THE HOUSE AND, AS YOU MENTIONED,
[00:15:37] INVESTIGATIONS THAT THEY'RE LOOKING INTO, ROBERT GARCIA IS
[00:15:41] EXPECTED TO TAKE THE GAVEL IF
[00:15:43] THEY DO FLIP THE HOUSE ON HOUSE
[00:15:47] OVERSIGHT AND JAMIE RASKIN ON JUDICIARY.
[00:15:51] AND A BIG FOCUS FOR THEM IS
[00:15:53] TRUMP FAMILY CORRUPTION.
[00:15:55] AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE
[00:15:58] DEFINITELY FOCUSED ON THE WAY IN
[00:16:00] WHICH THEIR AGENCY LEADERS ARE
[00:16:03] MISUSING FUNDS.
[00:16:05] I'M SURE KASH PATEL WILL COME UP
[00:16:07] IN THE -- IN THE AREA OF WHAT
[00:16:12] RASKIN AND GARCIA ARE LOOKING TO
[00:16:15] INVESTIGATE FOR SURE.
[00:16:16] HOST: NOW, I KNOW THAT YOU SAID
[00:16:19] THAT CHUCK GRASSLY LEADERSHIP
[00:16:23] THERE, A REPUBLICAN IS GOING TO TRY TO PROP UP PATEL AND THE JOB
[00:16:27] HE'S DONE AT THE FBI BUT WHAT
[00:16:29] OTHER REPUBLICANS SHOULD WE BE LOOKING OUT FOR WHEN IT COMES TO
[00:16:32] THIS HEARING?
[00:16:38] >>. GUEST: I THINK A PERSON ON THE PANEL WHO'S PARTICULARLY
[00:16:41] ELOQUENT AND HE'S GOOD IN
[00:16:43] HEARINGS, HE'S CHARISMATIC, JOSH HAWLEY.
[00:16:47] HE ALWAYS BRINGS A LEVEL OF
[00:16:49] ENTHUSIASM AND DEFINITELY WHEN
[00:16:52] HE SPEAKS, YOU DEFINITELY PAY ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE WAY
[00:16:55] THAT, YOU KNOW, HE'S A TALENTED
[00:16:58] LITIGATOR, USED TO BE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR MISSOURI AND IS
[00:17:03] TALENTED IN THAT WAY.
[00:17:05] ERIC SCHMIDT HAS BEEN, YOU KNOW,
[00:17:08] PRETTY VOICEFUL ON THE -- ON THE
[00:17:10] REPUBLICAN SIDE AS WELL AND THEN
[00:17:13] KATY BRIT.
[00:17:15] HOST: NOW, SEPARATELY,
[00:17:17] PRESIDENT TRUMP'S ALLY JOE
[00:17:23] DIGINOVA RESIGNED ON FRIDAY,
[00:17:27] WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED? GUEST: I THINK THAT'S PART OF A
[00:17:31] LARGER ISSUE WITH THE FBI THAT A LOT OF DEMOCRATS ARE LOOKING
[00:17:35] INTO. AND THAT VERY WELL COULD COME UP
[00:17:38] IN THE HEARING.
[00:17:40] I TALKED TO SENATOR RICHARD
[00:17:43] BLUMENTHAL, WHO'S A DEMOCRAT
[00:17:44] FROM CONNECTICUT ALSO ON THE
[00:17:49] JUDICIARY PANEL AND HE SAID HE
[00:17:50] WANTS TO FOCUS ON HOW KASH PATEL
[00:17:55] DISBANDED LAW ENFORCEMENT BY
[00:17:57] DISBANDING UNITS AND ALSO FIRING
[00:18:01] AGENTS IN RETRIBUTION FOR THEIR INVESTIGATING TRUMP.
[00:18:05] SO YOU CAN EXPECT THAT TO BE A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION TODAY.
[00:18:07] THE DEMOCRATS WILL DEFINITELY BE
[00:18:11] VERY FOCUSED ON ANY ISSUES LIKE
[00:18:15] THAT. HOST: CHRIS MARQUETTE CONGRESSIONAL REPORTER FROM
[00:18:19] POLITICO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US THIS MORNING. GUEST: THANK YOU.
[00:18:22] HOST: AND AGAIN TODAY, THE FBI
[00:18:27] DIRECTOR IS ON CAPITOL HILL WE TALKED ABOUT IT WITH CHRIS

[00:18:32] YOU CAN WATCH THAT HEARING LIVE
[00:18:34] AT 9:00 A.M. EASTERN ON CSPAN 3 RIGHT AFTER THIS PROGRAM.
[00:18:38] SO BACK TO THE QUESTION OF THE MORNING, WHICH IS WHAT IS YOUR
[00:18:42] TOP NEWS STORY? ALREADY TODAY WE TALKED ABOUT
[00:18:44] A.I. AND NOW KASH PATEL.
[00:18:46] KIM, FROM CHAMPAGNE, ILLINOIS, A
[00:18:50] DEMOCRAT. GOOD MORNING, KIM.
[00:18:53] CALLER: HI, GOOD MORNING, JASMINE. YOU HAD A LOT OF INTERESTING
[00:18:57] COMMENTS. I'M A HUGE SPORTS FAN BUT IN THE
[00:19:00] MIDDLE OF THIS, I HEAR THE
[00:19:03] WHISTLEBLOWERS TALKING ABOUT THE A.I., THAT'S THE NEXT BIG THING
[00:19:07] IT CAN PERHAPS DESTROY THE HUMAN RACE.
[00:19:10] WE HAVE GAS PRICES AT ALL-TIME
[00:19:12] HIGHS, DIESEL PRICES HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HIGH.
[00:19:15] PAYING MORE FOR EVERYTHING. PAYING MORE FOR EVERYTHING.
[00:19:20] RENT, HEALTH CARE, AND WATCHING
[00:19:22] ESPN AND WHAT DO I SEE, TED CRUZ
[00:19:27] ON TV ON COLLEGE GAME DAY, LOBBYING FOR THE SAVE COLLEGE
[00:19:31] SPORTS ACT.
[00:19:32] GIVE ME A BREAK.
[00:19:36] WE'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT SAVING THE NCAA AND BIG
[00:19:38] BOOSTERS?
[00:19:42] BECAUSE THEY ARE UPSET THAT
[00:19:43] STUDENTS ARE -- HAVE AGENTS --
[00:19:50] SAVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ACT GET A GRIP ON.
[00:19:54] I'M SO SICK OF THEIR -- IF WE
[00:19:56] DON'T GET IT NOW, IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND, IT LOOKS LIKE OUR
[00:20:00] POLITICIANS ARE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT BIG BUSINESSES AND SYSTEMS
[00:20:03] THAN THEY ARE ABOUT HELPING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WAKE UP,
[00:20:07] EVERYBODY. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US.
[00:20:09] THEY'RE OKAY WITH US -- BRINGING
[00:20:12] US TO HEEL PAYING ALL THESE HIGH PRICES FOR EVERYTHING.
[00:20:15] THIS IS RIDICULOUS, AND THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.
[00:20:17] THEY'RE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
[00:20:19] SAVING SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS
[00:20:22] LIKE THE NCAA AND BIG COLLEGE DONORS THAN HELPING THE
[00:20:25] AMERICANS WITH THE AFFORDABILITY ISSUE.
[00:20:28] THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
[00:20:32] HOST: THAT'S KIM FROM
[00:20:35] CHAMPAGNE, ILLINOIS, A DEMOCRAT.
[00:20:37] ANOTHER STORY WE'RE WATCHING
[00:20:39] THIS WEEK, AS CONGRESS IS BACK,
[00:20:42] IS FROM AXIOS, THE HEADLINE IS
[00:20:46] HOUSE TEES UP PREELECTION VOTE
[00:20:49] ON CURBING DATA CENTER BILLS.
[00:20:51] BEAR WITH ME, IT SAYS THE HOUSE
[00:20:55] REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP WILL BRING UP THE PROTECTION ACT,
[00:20:58] BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION AIMED AT
[00:21:02] PREVENTING DATA CENTERS FROM DRIVING UP AMERICANS'
[00:21:06] ELECTRICITY BILLS. SAYING REPUBLICANS WANT TO SHOI
[00:21:10] VOTERS THEY'RE -- EXCUSE ME, REPUBLICANS WANT TO SHOW VOTERS
[00:21:14] THAT TAKING RISING ELECTRIC BILLS AND THE MASSIVE POWER
[00:21:18] DEMANDS OF POWER CENTERS THEY'RE TAKING THEM SERIOUSLY.
[00:21:22] THEY'VE BEEN HAMMERED OVER HIGH ENERGY PRICES.
[00:21:26] A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT BILL. IT WOULD REQUIRE STATE UTILITY
[00:21:29] REGULATORS TO ENSURE RULES THAT
[00:21:32] DATA CENTERS RECOVER THE FULL
[00:21:34] COST OF ENERGY UPGRADES AND THE
[00:21:37] SHIFT WOULD SHIELD LOCAL PAYERS'
[00:21:41] BILLS FROM HIKES ACCORDING TO
[00:21:43] THE BILL'S SPONSOR. THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN EXPECT
[00:21:47] THIS WEEK. JENNIFER FROM LAS VEGAS, GOOD
[00:21:50] MORNING, WHAT'S YOUR TOP NEWS STORY OF THE DAY? CALLER: GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
[00:21:54] I WANTED TO REFERENCE TWO CALLERS CALLED YESTERDAY
[00:21:57] REGARDING THIS -- YOU KNOW, THE
[00:21:59] A.I. AND HOW IT'S HAPPENING AND COMING TRUE.
[00:22:02] THEY MENTIONED A MOVIE BACK IN
[00:22:06] 1969, 1970 CALLED "COLLASUS, THE
[00:22:15] FORBIN PROJECT".
[00:22:17] WHAT'S SCARY ABOUT IT BESIDES THAT MOVIE BEING REALISTIC OF
[00:22:21] WHAT'S GOING ON TODAY WITH THE
[00:22:23] DATA CENTERS AND A.I. IS THAT
[00:22:27] ELON MUSK NAMED HIS A.I. SUPER
[00:22:31] COMPUTER COLLASUS AND IN MAY HIM
[00:22:37] AND HIS RIVAL ANTHROPIC PARTNERS
[00:22:40] ON THIS KOE -- COLLASUS PROJECT.
[00:22:50] IT'S SCARY. THESE PEOPLE ARE PLAYING A JOKE ON YOU US OR GOVERNMENT OR
[00:22:54] CONGRESS, BUT THESE GUYS, WE ARE THE JOKE.
[00:22:57] THE JOKE IS ON US REALLY. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE PLAYING
[00:23:01] GAMES OR WHAT. HOST: THAT'S JENNIFER FROM LAS
[00:23:04] VEGAS, AN INDEPENDENT. NOW, ON SOCIAL MEDIA WE HAVE
[00:23:07] SOME COMMENTS THIS MORNING ABOUT TOP NEWS STORIES.
[00:23:11] RONNY SAYS JUST MORE PROOF THAT
[00:23:14] THE TRUMP FAMILY IS IN BED WITH RUSSIA.
[00:23:17] ONE OF PUTIN'S CLOSEST OLIGARCH
[00:23:20] FRIENDS PAYS FOR DON JUNIOR'S
[00:23:22] WEDDING AND NOBODY CARES THAT
[00:23:24] THEY VIOLATE THE MAGNITSKY ACT.
[00:23:32] THAT'S ONE COMMENT FROM SOCIAL MEDIA. BOB FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, A
[00:23:36] DEMOCRAT. HOW ARE YOU?
[00:23:40] CALLER: GOOD HOW ARE YOU.
[00:23:43] MINE IS GLOBAL WARMING.
[00:23:46] I WAS IN EIGHTH GRADE AND I HAD A SCIENCE TEACHER THAT TAUGHT US
[00:23:50] WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN YEARS FROM NOW. HE EXPLAINED IT LIKE THIS, OUR
[00:23:54] WORLD IS ON A MAGNETIC HOLD. AND WHEN THAT MAGNETIC HOLD
[00:23:57] CHANGES, IT'S GOING TO PULL US SOMEWHERE.
[00:24:00] SO BASICALLY WHAT HE'S SAYING --
[00:24:02] SAID BACK THEN AND THAT WAS LIKE
[00:24:05] IN THE '70S. WHEN THE CARS WERE BEING BUILT
[00:24:09] AND THE TRUCKS BEING BUILT IN
[00:24:10] THE '20S, '30S, '40S, YOU
[00:24:15] WEREN'T DOING THAT MUCH WITH THE GAS.
[00:24:18] NOW MY HOUSE TO A MAIN ROAD THAT HAS THREE LIGHTS.
[00:24:22] I STILL GET THERE IN THREE
[00:24:24] MINUTES NOW SIX OR SEVEN MINUTES
[00:24:27] WITH ALL THE CARS OR TRAFFIC.
[00:24:28] HE ALSO SAID WHEN YOU'RE -- WHEN
[00:24:31] YOU'RE BUILDING NOW, BACK
[00:24:33] THEN -- WHEN YOU'RE CUTTING DOWN
[00:24:37] THE TREES -- THE MORE WE GONNA
[00:24:40] GROW, GROW -- HE DID SAY WE'LL BE COMING FORWARD BECAUSE THE
[00:24:43] TREES AND THE PLANTS IS WHAT MAKES US BREATHE, OKAY.
[00:24:47] HELPS US BREATHE.
[00:24:49] NOW, GOING BACK TO THE GLOBAL
[00:24:52] WARMING ALSO, IT'S LIKE THIS. EVERYTHING THAT'S BUILT ON THIS
[00:24:56] WORLD, OUR WORLD, COMES FROM THIS WORLD.
[00:24:59] NO MATTER WHAT A TRUCK IS, CAR
[00:25:02] IS, SKY SCRAPERS, WE'RE NOT
[00:25:04] GOING TO JAPAN -- I MEAN
[00:25:06] JUPITER, WE'RE NOT GOING TO
[00:25:09] MARS, WE'RE NOT TAKING ANYTHING
[00:25:12] FROM OUR PLANET -- HOST: THAT'S BOB FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, DEMOCRAT.

[00:28:22] LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PROGRAM
[00:28:24] AND I'M GRATEFUL TO CSPAN FOR ALLOWING ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO
[00:28:28] SAY THINGS THAT I CAN SAY NO PLACE ELSE.
[00:28:31] HOST: WE LOVE TO HEAR THAT. LET'S START WITH THE BIGGEST NEWS.
[00:28:34] YESTERDAY YOU ANNOUNCED YOU
[00:28:37] INTEND TO FORCE A VOTE ON
[00:28:40] IMPEACHING PRESIDENT TRUMP, CITING THE KILLING BY
[00:28:43] IMMIGRATION OFFICERS OF TWO U.S. CITIZENS EARLIER THIS YEAR.
[00:28:47] WHERE DOES THAT STAND?
[00:28:49] GUEST: ACTUALLY FOUR CITIZENS,
[00:28:55] ONE WAS IN HOUSTON, THAT STANDS
[00:29:00] AT A POINT WHERE I SHOULD MAKE
[00:29:02] AN ANNOUNCEMENT RIGHT NOW.
[00:29:04] AT ABOUT 1:00 TODAY, I'LL BE IN
[00:29:07] THE CONGRESS, I'LL BE ON THE FLOOR.
[00:29:09] AND THE SPEAKER HAS INDICATED THAT SOMETIME AROUND 1:15 WE
[00:29:13] WILL CALL FOR THE VOTE. THIS WOULD GIVE CONGRESS AN
[00:29:16] OPPORTUNITY TO GO ON RECORD AND DECIDE WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO
[00:29:20] DECIDE WITH THE VICTIMS OF THESE
[00:29:23] I.C.E. KILLINGS OR ARE YOU GOING
[00:29:26] TO SIDE WITH THE PRESIDENT AND
[00:29:30] THE RUTHLESS RECKLESS BEHAVIOR
[00:29:33] AND THE I.C.E. OFFICERS. WE HAVE SEEN FOUR PEOPLE KILLED.
[00:29:37] I MENTIONED TWO, THE OTHER TWO
[00:29:39] ARE ALEX PETTY AND RENEE GOOD.
[00:29:42] BOTH OF THEM KILLED BY I.C.E. OFFICERS.
[00:29:45] BOTH OF THESE WERE KILLINGS THAT WERE NOT JUSTIFIED.
[00:29:49] UNJUSTIFIED KILLINGS. AND THE PRESIDENT HAS SOUGHT TO
[00:29:52] COVER THESE UP BY SUPPORTING THE KILLINGS BEFORE THERE WAS AN
[00:29:56] INVESTIGATION PROCLAIMING THE PEOPLE TO BE TERRORISTS, TO BE
[00:29:59] PERSONS WHO WERE OUT OF CONTROL, NOT BEHAVING.
[00:30:03] SOMEHOW ASSAULTING OFFICERS,
[00:30:04] TRYING TO RAM THEIR CARS INTO
[00:30:07] OFFICERS OR OFFICERS' VEHICLES.
[00:30:09] THE PRESIDENT IS ENGAGED IN A
[00:30:12] COVERUP, THE I.C.E. OFFICERS ARE THE PERSONS WHO ARE TAKING THE
[00:30:16] LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, THEY'RE KILLING PEOPLE, AND
[00:30:19] THEY'RE DOING IT AS JUDGE, JURY,
[00:30:22] EXECUTIONER, PROSECUTOR.
[00:30:24] WE CAN'T ALLOW THIS.
[00:30:27] HOST: CONGRESSMAN LET ME JUMP IN HERE, THAT VOTE WILL HAPPEN
[00:30:31] ABOUT 1:00, 1:15, THE FOLKS WATCHING THE HOUSE FLOOR THERE.
[00:30:35] YOU SAID IT'S GOING TO PUT PEOPLE ON RECORD.
[00:30:38] BUT IT'S NOT JUST REPUBLICANS
[00:30:40] IT'S DEMOCRATS YOU'LL PUT ON RECORDS.
[00:30:43] AXIOS REPORTS YOU ARE FACING
[00:30:46] SWIFT AND INTENSE ANGER FROM YOUR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES OVER
[00:30:49] THIS EFFORT TO BRING UP THE
[00:30:53] IMPEACHMENT VOTE, SOMETHING LEADERSHIP SAID THEY DON'T WANT
[00:30:55] TO DO AT THE MOMENT.
[00:30:57] WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE TO YOUR OWN PARTY?
[00:31:00] GUEST: I'LL GIVE YOU THAT RESPONSE BUT I WANT TO FINISH THIS COMMENT.
[00:31:04] THIS BEHAVIOR BY I.C.E. IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT TOLERATE.
[00:31:08] WE CANNOT ALLOW IT TO BE NORMALIZED. THE KILLING OF AMERICAN
[00:31:12] CITIZENS.
[00:31:13] I WANTED TO GIVE YOU ALEX PETTY AS AN EXAMPLE.
[00:31:17] HE WAS ON THE GROUND, UNARMED,
[00:31:21] THERE WERE OFFICERS AROUND HIM. HE WAS SHOT MORE THAN NINE TIMES
[00:31:24] ON THE GROUND UNARMED.
[00:31:27] HE WAS SHOT ON JANUARY 24, 2026,
[00:31:30] RENEE GOOD JANUARY 7, 2026, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
[00:31:33] THOSE CASES. ALL OF THIS TIME NO
[00:31:37] TRANSPARENCY. THE PRESIDENT HAS A DUTY TO MAKE
[00:31:40] SURE THAT THE LAWS ARE FOLLOWED APPROPRIATELY.
[00:31:43] HE TOOK AN OATH TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION.
[00:31:46] HE IS NOT DEFENDING THE CONSTITUTION, HE'S RIPPING IT UP.
[00:31:50] NOW TO YOUR QUESTION ABOUT MY COLLEAGUES. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CHOOSE TO MAKE THEMSELVES AN ISSUE.
[00:31:54] THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THESE COMMENTS THAT ARE IN
[00:31:58] AXIOS. THEY'RE MAKING THEMSELVES AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY'RE LITERALLY
[00:32:02] SAYING THIS IS AN INCONVENIENCE,
[00:32:04] WHY INCONVENIENCE US AT THIS TIME WHEN WE COULD BE DOING
[00:32:08] SOMETHING ELSE WHEN WE KNOW THAT CONGRESS DOES MULTIPLE THINGS ALL THE TIME.
[00:32:12] WE'RE GOING TO IK TA UP A WAR
[00:32:14] POWERS RESOLUTION, DEALING WITH OTHER ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE.
[00:32:17] THIS IS ACCOUNTABILITY, AFFORDABILITY IS IMPORTANT --
[00:32:21] HOST: THE LARGER DEMOCRATS'
[00:32:23] POINT IS IT MUDDLES THE MIDTERM
[00:32:27] MESSAGE. GUEST: IF YOU WANT IT TO. DOES LIFE AND DEATH COUNT?
[00:32:31] HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE WE WILL CONCLUDE THAT
[00:32:34] THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS UNACCEPTABLE AND WE'RE GOING TO CHALLENGE IT.
[00:32:39] MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE THEMSELVES AN ISSUE BECAUSE
[00:32:43] THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS SO
[00:32:46] INCONVENIENT FOR US WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO TAKE THIS VOTE?
[00:32:49] IT'S BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT LIFE AND DEATH. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE DIED.
[00:32:53] MORE PEOPLE MAY DIE. WHEN THEY DO, THE BLOOD WILL BE
[00:32:56] ON THEIR HANDS WHEN THEY VOTE AGAINST THIS RESOLUTION TODAY.
[00:33:00] DEMOCRATS HAVE STOOD FOR LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. BUT THERE ARE SOME WANTING TO
[00:33:04] MAKE THEMSELVES AN ISSUE BY SIDING WITH THE PRESIDENT AND
[00:33:07] THE PEOPLE KILLING WITH
[00:33:12] IMPUNITY. HOST: YOU SAID, THE BLOOD WILL
[00:33:14] BE ON YOUR COLLEAGUE'S HANDS.
[00:33:17] HOST: GUEST: AND REPUBLICANS TOO.
[00:33:20] HOST: VOTING ON IRAN, YOU SAW
[00:33:23] MOST OF YOUR FELLOW DEMOCRATS INCLUDING ALL DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
[00:33:27] SIDING WITH REPUBLICANS IN OPPOSITION.
[00:33:30] WHY ARE THEY WRONG ON THIS?
[00:33:33] GUEST: IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME THAT PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED THAT
[00:33:37] THEY WANT OUT OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE OATH OF OFFICE.
[00:33:41] WE SAID WE WOULD DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, THAT'S WHAT I DO.
[00:33:43] BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IS THIS.
[00:33:45] IF WE CAN ONLY VOTE WHEN WE WIN,
[00:33:48] SOME OF US WOULDN'T BE IN
[00:33:50] CONGRESS IF WE TOOK UP THAT
[00:33:53] ATTITUDE OR HAD ROSA PARKS TAKEN THAT ATTITUDE.
[00:33:56] ROSA PARKS TOOK A SEAT IN A RACIST PUBLIC TOWN BY HERSELF
[00:34:00] KNOWING SHE WOULD LIKELY GO TO JAIL.
[00:34:03] SHE DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS GOING TO END SEGREGATION THAT NIGHT,
[00:34:07] BUT SHE FOUGHT.
[00:34:08] JOHN LEWIS WENT TO THE EDMUND
[00:34:12] PETTUS BRIDGE BRIDGE, WE WERE
[00:34:15] FRIENDS HE TOLD ME HE THOUGHT HE
[00:34:16] WAS GOING TO DIE THAT DAY.
[00:34:19] BECAUSE HE WAS THERE ON BLOODY
[00:34:22] SUNDAY, BECAUSE A PRESIDENT PASSED THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT,
[00:34:26] MANY OF US SAYING THIS ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR, THERE WERE
[00:34:30] PEOPLE IN CONGRESS WHO WOULDN'T
[00:34:32] BE HERE IF WE WAITED TILL WE COULD WIN.
[00:34:37] WE CAN'T ALWAYS WIN BUT SOME OF
[00:34:39] US HAVE TO FIGHT. THERE IS ONE CONGRESS PERSON
[00:34:43] THAT I'M AWARE OF WHO SAID IF WE
[00:34:45] CAN GET THE VOTES I'LL VOTE FOR IT. HOST: WHO IS THAT?
[00:34:48] GUEST: I DON'T HAVE TO CALL HIS NAME.
[00:34:50] IF HE DECIDES TO REVEAL HIMSELF I WILL. IT'S BEEN PUBLISHED.
[00:34:54] YOU CAN DO THE RESEARCH.
[00:34:57] BUT HE IS SAYING THAT HE'S THE
[00:35:00] BENEFICIARY, THIS IS A PERSON OF COLOR, BENEFICIARY OF JOHN LEWIS
[00:35:03] AND THE SUFFERING AT THE EDMUND
[00:35:07] PETTUS BRIDGE.
[00:35:10] THIS IS PERFORMATIVE, IT'S STRATEGIC TO DO NOTHING, I'M NOT
[00:35:14] A STRATEGIC GUY WHO DOES NOTHING WHEN WE HAVE IMPEACHMENT AVAILABLE TOWS.
[00:35:18] I ASSURE YOU I WILL BE THERE FOR THIS VOTE.
[00:35:21] THIS VOTE WILL BE TAKEN AND I
[00:35:23] WARN YOU MY DEAR BROTHERS AND
[00:35:27] SISTERS, REPUBLICANS AND
[00:35:29] DEMOCRATS, YOU VOTE WITH THIS,
[00:35:32] VOTE WITH COVERING UP THE DEATH
[00:35:35] OF FOUR PEOPLE, AND AGAINST THE VICTIMS AND THE FAMILIES,
[00:35:39] HISTORY IS NOT GOING TO BE KIND TO YOU AND THE PEOPLE ARE NOT
[00:35:42] GOING TO BE KIND TO YOU. THIS IS A SIMILAR VOTE IN YOUR
[00:35:46] CAREER. LET YOUR RECORD REFLECT WHEN YOU
[00:35:49] HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE TO
[00:35:52] IMPEACH THIS RECKLESS, RUTHLESS
[00:35:54] PRESIDENT THAT'S WHAT YOU DID. HOST: SAY YOUR VOTE WAS
[00:35:57] SUCCESSFUL AND THE PRESIDENT WAS IMPEACHED IN THE HOUSE. THAT REQUIRES A TWO THIRDS
[00:36:01] MAJORITY IN THE SENATE TO CONVICT. DO YOU BELIEVE THAT WILL HAPPEN?
[00:36:04] REPUBLICAN ARE IN CONTROL OF THE SENATE RIGHT NOW.
[00:36:07] GUEST: IF YOU'RE ABOUT ONLY
[00:36:09] WINNING VOTES THEN YOU PROBABLY
[00:36:11] SHOULDN'T BE IN CONGRESS --
[00:36:15] HOST: WINNING VOTES LEADS TO IMPEACHMENT.
[00:36:18] GUEST: BUT ALSO IMPEACHMENT DETERS ACTION. WHEN THE PRESIDENT SEES WE'RE
[00:36:22] WILLING TO VOTE AND TAKE ACTION AGAINST IT, IT CAN DETER HIM AND
[00:36:26] THE OFFICERS HE HOPES TO PARDON
[00:36:29] IF THEY'RE EVER CONVICTED IN A FEDERAL COURT.
[00:36:33] HE HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT IF
[00:36:35] THEY ARE CONVICTED IN A FEDERAL COURT, HE WILL GIVE THEM A
[00:36:39] PARDON JUST AS HE DID THOSE PERSONS WHO COMMITTED THE
[00:36:43] INSURRECTION AGAINST THE CAPITOL. HE GAVE THEM PARDONS HE'S
[00:36:47] SENDING THAT MESSAGE TO THEM. YES, IT COULD GO TO SENATE AND
[00:36:51] THE SENATE COULD LIKELY NOT IMPEACH OR THEY COULD.
[00:36:54] WE WON'T KNOW UNTIL THEY VOTE.
[00:36:56] WHAT YOU'RE SAYING -- I DON'T
[00:36:58] THINK YOU'RE SAYING TO BE PROVOCATIVE. I THINK YOU'RE BEING A GOOD
[00:37:02] REPORTER, I APPRECIATE IT. I WANT THE CHALLENGING QUESTION.
[00:37:05] WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF YOU CAN'T WIN, DON'T FIGHT.
[00:37:08] THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S ABOUT. WE'LL HAVE VOTES IN CONGRESS
[00:37:11] THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOSE AND WE DO THIS REGULARLY.
[00:37:14] IT TOOK US ALMOST 100 YEARS TO
[00:37:17] GET OBAMA CARE PASSED BUT WE DIDN'T STOP. WE'RE FIGHTING RIGHT NOW SO
[00:37:21] LABOR HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO NEGOTIATE WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM MANAGEMENT.
[00:37:25] WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP. WE TAKE VOTES ALL THE TIME.
[00:37:28] BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS VOTE, MANY PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO
[00:37:31] VOTE AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
[00:37:33] BECAUSE THEY GET THIS CRYPTO
[00:37:37] CONTRIBUTIONS. THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY IS OWNING AND OPERATING A GOOD MEMBER -- A
[00:37:41] GOOD NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS RIGHT NOW.
[00:37:44] THEY ARE IN THE POCKETS OF THE CRYPTO INDUSTRY AND THEY CAN'T
[00:37:48] TAKE ON DONALD TRUMP BECAUSE THE
[00:37:50] CRYPTO INDUSTRY IS GOING TO
[00:37:55] PROTECT THEM BECAUSE HE IS MAKING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM.
[00:37:59] JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY AND YOU'LL
[00:38:01] UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE VOTE THE WAY THEY DO.
[00:38:04] HOST: FOR FOLKS VIEWING WE'LL
[00:38:08] BE TAKING CALLS IN A MOMENT.
[00:38:24] GUEST: THE PEOPLE IN THOSE ARTICLES THEY DON'T HAVE THE
[00:38:28] CUTS, THE INTESTINAL FORTITUDES
[00:38:31] TO GIVE THEIR NAMES WHO ARE
[00:38:35] THOSE POLITICIANS?
[00:38:38] WHO WILL STAND BEHIND -- STAND
[00:38:40] BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND SAY THESE THINGS.
[00:38:42] IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE COURAGE TO ALLOW YOUR NAME TO BE ASSOCIATED
[00:38:46] WITH YOUR WORDS YOU OUGHT NOT BE IN CONGRESS.
[00:38:49] THIS IS NOT A POSITION FOR THE
[00:38:52] TIMID FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HIDE AND SAY THINGS.
[00:38:56] IF YOU BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU'RE
[00:38:57] SAYING, SPEAK LOUDLY, OPENLY, AND PUBLICALLY.
[00:39:00] HOST: YOU'RE REFERENCING THE
[00:39:02] PEOPLE CRITICIZING YOUR IMPEACHMENT VOTE.
[00:39:06] GUEST: THEY'RE CRITICIZING IMPEACHMENT.
[00:39:09] THEY DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON IMPEACHMENT, THEY DON'T WANT TO
[00:39:12] VOTE FOR A LOT OF REASONS, AMONG
[00:39:15] THEM PROTECTING DONALD TRUMP. HOST: LET ME ASK YOU BECAUSE
[00:39:18] THERE'S A GREAT REPORT OUT FROM
[00:39:22] CNN, THE DEMOCRATS EYE A NEW TOOL TO HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE
[00:39:26] IF THEY WIN THE HOUSE AND LAY OUT A MULTITUDE OF THINGS THAT
[00:39:29] HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING TO
[00:39:31] PREPARE IF THEY WERE TO WIN THE NERM ELECTIONS AND WIN BACK THE
[00:39:36] HOUSE COME NOVEMBER.
[00:39:38] I WONDER, WHAT ADVANTAGES DOES
[00:39:43] IMPEACHMENT HAVE OVER AN INVESTIGATORY APPROACH AND WHY
[00:39:46] DO YOU CHOOSE IMPEACHMENT? GUEST: CHOOSE IT BECAUSE I
[00:39:50] RAISED MY RIGHT HAND WHEN I
[00:39:52] ARRIVED IN CONGRESS AND I SWORE
[00:39:54] TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION, SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE
[00:39:58] CONSTITUTION. THE CONSTITUTION AFFORDS
[00:40:00] IMPEACHMENT AS A REMEDY FOR A
[00:40:03] PRESIDENT COMMITTING IMPEACHABLE
[00:40:07] DEFENSES. NONE OF THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, BUT ESPECIALLY NONE
[00:40:10] OF THE DEMOCRATS ARE DENYING
[00:40:13] HE'S COMMITTING IMPEACHMENT OFFENSES.
[00:40:17] THEY'RE SAYING I DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON IT. BECAUSE IF I VOTE I'LL BE ON
[00:40:20] RECORD AND I'LL BE ON RECORD AGAINST TRUMP.
[00:40:23] IF I'M ON RECORD AGAINST TRUMP
[00:40:25] AND I'M TAKING CRYPTO MONEY I
[00:40:27] HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE
[00:40:30] CRYPTO INDUSTRY IS BACKING TRUMP 1,000%.
[00:40:33] IF YOU LOOK AT THE RECORD, SEE WHO'S GETTING THE CRYPTO MONEY
[00:40:37] IN CONGRESS. HOST: RICHARD FROM SAVANNAH
[00:40:40] GEORGIA, A REPUBLICAN.
[00:40:44] GOOD MORNING, RICHARD. GUEST: GOOD MORNING. YOU SAY YOU CARE ABOUT THE
[00:40:48] PEOPLE OF AMERICA AND DEFENDING THEM WITH THE CONSTITUTION, BUT
[00:40:51] FOR FOUR YEARS WE WATCHED THE
[00:40:53] DEMOCRATS WITH OPEN BORDERS LET
[00:40:56] ABOUT 30 MILLION ILLEGALS COME
[00:40:58] IN AND WE HAD JOCELYN, A
[00:41:02] 12-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN YOUR
[00:41:04] DISTRICT IN HOUSTON GET RAPED AND MURDERED AND YOU DIDN'T CARE
[00:41:07] ABOUT HER, TALK ABOUT HER, GO TO
[00:41:10] HER FUNERAL OR ANYTHING.
[00:41:17] WHY SHOULDN'T THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, JOE BIDEN, YOU,
[00:41:20] BE ARRESTED FOR ACCESSORIES TO
[00:41:26] RAPE AND MURDER AS FAR AS THE INNOCENT WOMEN RAPED AND
[00:41:29] MURDERED BY ILLEGALS AND ALSO THE TRUCKS COMING DOWN THE ROAD
[00:41:33] BY ILLEGALS THAT YOU LET IN KILL
[00:41:37] INNOCENT PEOPLE?
[00:41:38] ONE LAST THING I WANT TO SAY
[00:41:42] THANK GOD FOR ONE BLACK MAN
[00:41:45] JUROR WITH THE CLANCY TRIAL.
[00:41:47] THANK YOU, SIR, FOR STANDING UP
[00:41:50] TO THOSE THREE CHILDREN. GUEST: ANYONE WHO COMMITS A
[00:41:53] CRIME OUGHT TO BE PROSECUTED. IF THEY'RE CONVICTED, THEY OUGHT
[00:41:56] TO GO TO JAIL. IN THE CASE OF THE PRESIDENT, WE
[00:41:59] CAN'T PROSECUTE HIM RIGHT NOW.
[00:42:02] BUT WE CAN IMPEACH HIM. WE CAN IMPEACH HIM AND LATER ON
[00:42:05] HE CAN BE PROSECUTED BUT WE CAN
[00:42:09] IMPEACH HIM. THE SUPREME COURT HAS GIVEN THE
[00:42:12] PRESIDENT ALMOST ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY.
[00:42:15] THEY HAVEN'T, BUT HE HAS ASSUMED
[00:42:17] THE AUTHORITARIAN POSITION AND
[00:42:20] THAT IS HE HAS ABSOLUTE
[00:42:24] IMMUNITY. ANYONE WHO COMMITS A CRIME OUGHT TO BE CONVICTED, THE PRESIDENT
[00:42:28] CAN BE IMPEACHED. I TELL YOU, ANYBODY WHO COMMITS
[00:42:32] A CRIME, WHETHER YOU'RE ILLEGAL OR LEGAL, YOU OUGHT TO BE
[00:42:35] PROSECUTED AND YOU OUGHT TO BE CONVICTED.
[00:42:37] I WOULD SAY IF YOU'RE RAPING PEOPLE AND IT'S PROVEN YOU DID
[00:42:41] IT, YOU OUGHT TO BE PUNISHED TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS.
[00:42:45] I'M NOT A PERSON WHO SUPPORTS ANY OF THAT.
[00:42:48] I REGRET THAT YOU WOULD ASSUME
[00:42:50] THAT BECAUSE I WANT TO HAVE THE
[00:42:53] PRESIDENT NOT BE ABOVE THE LAW THAT SOMEHOW I WOULD HAVE OTHER
[00:42:56] PEOPLE BE ABOVE THE LAW. NO ONE SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW
[00:43:00] OF THE COUNTRY, THAT INCLUDES THE PRESIDENT AND THAT'S WHY I'M
[00:43:03] DOING WHAT I'M DOING.
[00:43:04] AGAIN, PEOPLE ARE NOT DENYING
[00:43:07] HE'S COMMITTING IMPEACHABLE
[00:43:08] OFFENSES THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO
[00:43:11] GET INVOLVED IN THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS FOR VARIOUS REASONS.
[00:43:14] HOST: ON THE ISSUE FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, WHO SHOULD BE
[00:43:18] RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACTIONS COMMITTED BY UNDOCUMENTED
[00:43:21] MIGRANTS WHO COME TO THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, IF THEY CAME
[00:43:25] IN UNDER THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION? WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT?
[00:43:30] GUEST: THE PEOPLE WHO COMMIT CRIMES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CRIMES.
[00:43:33] THAT'S ALWAYS BE THE CASE FOR THIS COUNTRY.
[00:43:36] I'M TOTALLY FOR THAT. PROSECUTE PEOPLE WHO COMMIT
[00:43:40] CRIMES, PUT THEM IN JAIL. BY THE WAY, I'M NOT FOR HAVING A
[00:43:44] RAPIST SENT SOME OTHER PLACE.
[00:43:47] IF YOU COMMIT RAPE IN THIS COUNTRY, YOU OUGHT TO GO TO JAIL
[00:43:50] IN THIS COUNTRY AND YOU OUGHT TO STAY IN HAD JAIL. THAT'S WHAT I'M FOR.
[00:43:53] I'M FOR PROSECUTING CRIMINALS.
[00:43:57] YES.
[00:43:58] HOST: VICKY FROM NEBRASKA, A
[00:44:02] DEMOCRAT. GOOD MORNING, VICKY.
[00:44:04] CALLER: GOOD MORNING, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
[00:44:06] HOST: YES, YOU'RE ON.
[00:44:11] CALLER: YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HOSTS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO,
[00:44:15] MR. AL GREEN. YOU AND JASMINE CROCKETT ARE MY
[00:44:18] FAVORITE POLITICIANS. YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH, YOU HAVE
[00:44:22] EMPATHY, YOU'RE FAIR AND YES, I
[00:44:25] THINK THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
[00:44:28] I DON'T SEE HOW HE EVER GOT INTO OFFICE WITH ALL OF HIS
[00:44:31] CONVICTIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME,
[00:44:36] MR. GREEN, TO COME OUT AND NOT BE AFRAID.
[00:44:39] I HAVE A BAG AND A T-SHIRT THAT
[00:44:42] SAYS BLACK LIVES MATTER AND IT
[00:44:45] ALSO SAYS, BE KIND, OUR
[00:44:48] PRESIDENT SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND YES, I HAVE BEEN IN STORES,
[00:44:51] I'VE BEEN FLIPPED OFF, I'VE BEEN
[00:44:53] YELLED AT AND HAD MAGA PEOPLE
[00:44:55] NOT EVEN WEIGHT ON ME WHEN I WAS
[00:44:59] PURCHASING SOMETHING BUT I FEEL SO GOOD WHEN I LEAVE BECAUSE I
[00:45:02] KNOW GOD IS WATCHING OVER ME AND
[00:45:05] YES, NEBRASKA SUCKS BECAUSE WE HAVE A BUNCH OF REPUBLICANS
[00:45:08] TRYING TO GET RID OF OUR
[00:45:11] DEMOCRATIC MAYOR BY THEIR LITTLE TRICKS AND WE REALLY HAVE TO
[00:45:15] FIGHT HARD HERE BECAUSE IT'S -- WE HAVE A LOT OF CHEATERS.
[00:45:18] AND IT'S REALLY SAD RIGHT NOW.
[00:45:21] I'M 65 AND I'VE LIVED ALL MY
[00:45:23] LIFE AND, WO WORKED HARD, AND
[00:45:27] NOW MY RETIREMENT I HAVE TO PUT
[00:45:29] UP WITH THIS SCUM BAG.
[00:45:32] THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
[00:45:35] I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU,
[00:45:36] KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK, SAY HI
[00:45:39] TO JASMINE CROCKETT FOR ME, I LOVE HER.
[00:45:43] THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME SPEAK TODAY.
[00:45:46] GOD BLESS YOU ON THE VOTE TODAY
[00:45:49] FOR IMPEACHMENT.
[00:45:51] I'M SAYING MY PRAYER. I'M BIG INTO PRAYER.
[00:45:54] AND I'M HOPING YOU CAN PULL IT OFF.
[00:45:59] GUEST: THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO SPEAK UP.
[00:46:02] THE DEMOCRATS WHO CHOOSE TO VOTE WITH THE REPUBLICANS TO PREVENT
[00:46:06] THE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT FROM
[00:46:08] BEING IMPEACHED FOR CRIMES THAT
[00:46:11] ARE IMPEACHABLE, THEY'RE GOING TO PAY A PRICE FOR THAT.
[00:46:14] HISTORY IS NOT GOING TO BE KIND AND PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO
[00:46:18] REWARD YOU FOR TAKING THAT POSITION. AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WHO
[00:46:21] ARE GOING TO DO THIS.
[00:46:23] THEY KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT IS
[00:46:26] COMMITTING IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS VOTE TO
[00:46:30] IMPEACH THIS IS NOT ASKING YOU
[00:46:33] SIT IN A BUS LIKE ROSA PARKS
[00:46:35] DID, OR CROSS THE EDMUND PETTUS
[00:46:41] BRIDGE. THIS ONLY REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO PUT YOUR CARD IN
[00:46:44] THE TERMINAL AND VOTE TO IMPEACH.
[00:46:48] DON'T VOTE TO SEND IT TO COMMITTEE. DON'T VOTE TO TABLE.
[00:46:51] THOSE TWO THINGS ARE GOING TO PUT YOU WITH THE REPUBLICANS WHO
[00:46:54] ARE PROTECTING THE PRESIDENT. YOU WILL BE PROTECTING THE
[00:46:57] PRESIDENT AND YOU'RE NOT GOING -- YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET IT.
[00:47:01] I WARN YOU, YOU WILL REGRET IT. HOST: I WANT TO CHANGE THE
[00:47:05] SUBJECT QUICKLY TO SOMETHING ELSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS
[00:47:09] MORNING. A.I. YOU TALKED ABOUT CRYPTO. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE
[00:47:13] RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND WARNINGS AND IMPACT THAT A.I. COULD HAVE
[00:47:16] AND THE CALLS FROM DEMOCRATS AND
[00:47:19] REPUBLICANS FOR A SLOW DOWN ON
[00:47:22] A.I., ARE THE CONCERNS OVERBLOWN? DO YOU HAVE THEM YOURSELF?
[00:47:26] WHAT SHOULD CONGRESS DO?
[00:47:29] GUEST: FIRST THING CONGRESS SHOULD DO IS SAY TO THE
[00:47:31] PRESIDENT, IT'S NOT A HOAX. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
[00:47:35] STATES WHO KNOWS VERY LITTLE ABOUT IT, IS TELLING THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT.
[00:47:39] THE PEOPLE HAVING A HANDS ON EXPERIENCE WITH IT, IT'S A HOAX.
[00:47:42] WE SHOULD TELL THE PRESIDENT, SIR YOU ARE WRONG.
[00:47:45] I SAY SIR TO BE KIND. I SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE
[00:47:49] PRESIDENT, I'M UNBOSSED AND UNAFRAID.
[00:47:52] I SPEAK DIRECTLY TO HIM.
[00:47:54] I SENT A LETTER TO HIM YESTERDAY
[00:47:57] SAYING THERE WOULD BE A VOTE TO IMPEACH HIM.
[00:48:00] HOST: DID YOU RECEIVE A RESPONSE? GUEST: NO HE DOESN'T HAVE THE
[00:48:04] COURAGE TO RESPOND. HE ONLY FIGHTS WHEN HE CAN WIN. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
[00:48:08] AND UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE SOME
[00:48:09] DEMOCRATS LIKE THAT NOW.
[00:48:13] >> BUT I WOULD SAY TO YOU ABOUT
[00:48:16] A.I., THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. PEOPLE HAVING A HANDS ON
[00:48:19] EXPERIENCE WITH THIS ARE SAYING YES, IT'S ABOUT CHINA, BUT ALSO
[00:48:23] IT'S ABOUT AN ENTITY THAT CAN AT
[00:48:26] SOME POINT BECOME SO SMART THAT
[00:48:29] IT CAN CONCLUDE THAT IT SHOULD
[00:48:31] NOT CEASE TO EXIST AND IT CAN
[00:48:34] CONCLUDE THAT IN ITS DEFENSE IT HAS TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.
[00:48:38] AND THOSE THINGS CAN BE HARMFUL TO US.
[00:48:40] AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO
[00:48:44] ARE HAVING THE HANDS ON EXPERIENCE. YES, WE NEED TO REGULATE WHAT'S GOING ON.
[00:48:48] WE HAVE TO DO SO.
[00:48:50] THIS IS A MANDATE FOR CONGRESS.
[00:48:52] THIS IS WHY WE EXIST TO PROTECT
[00:48:54] THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY
[00:48:57] FROM SOMETHING THAT, ACCORDING
[00:48:59] TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO
[00:49:01] KNOW, CAN WIPE OUT 10 TO 20% OF
[00:49:03] HUMAN KIND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, WITHIN YOUR LIFETIME.
[00:49:07] SO YES, WE SHOULD BE REGULATING IT.
[00:49:09] AND YES, WE OUGHT TO STAY RIGHT
[00:49:12] HERE IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.
[00:49:15] WE'RE ABOUT TO LEAVE AND NOT COME BACK UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION.
[00:49:19] WE SHOULD STAY HERE AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS, INCLUDING
[00:49:22] DEALING WITH A.I., THERE'S A WAR POWERS RESOLUTION COMING UP.
[00:49:26] NOBODY IS COMPLAINING ABOUT TAKING THIS VOTE ON WAR POWERS,
[00:49:29] NOBODY WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT A.I. BUT SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS
[00:49:32] SAYING TO THE PRESIDENT, YOU
[00:49:34] CAN'T CONDONE THE KILLING OF
[00:49:38] INNOCENT PEOPLE, THESE PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT, WE HAVE NORMALIZED
[00:49:41] IT SUCH THAT WE WOULD WALK AWAY
[00:49:43] FROM THESE DEAD LIVES.
[00:49:46] THESE PEOPLE, ONE MAN ON HIS WAY
[00:49:48] TO WORK, ANOTHER PERSON DRIVING IN HER CAR.
[00:49:52] ALEX PETTI IS THE PERFECT CASE
[00:49:56] TO CALL AGAIN, ON THE GROUND,
[00:50:00] UNARMED, SHOT NINE TIMES YOU
[00:50:03] CAN'T GET AN INDICTMENT?
[00:50:05] THAT'S A COVER UP. MR. PRESIDENT YOU SHOULD BE
[00:50:09] IMPEACHED. I WILL STAND ALONE AND BRING
[00:50:13] THIS ARTICLE OF IMPEACHMENT
[00:50:16] TODAY. HOST: JOHN FROM NEW ORLEANS, AN INDEPENDENT.
[00:50:20] GOOD MORNING. GUEST: GOOD MORNING. CALLER: I WOULD LIKE TO ASK
[00:50:24] ABOUT INFLATION BECAUSE INFLATION IS REALLY BAD RIGHT NOW AND THE ECONOMY WAS BAD
[00:50:28] UNDER BIDEN IN MY OPINION. AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE GETTING ANY BETTER.
[00:50:31] SO I GUESS MY QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO CONGRESS ABOUT
[00:50:34] INFLATION --
[00:50:40] GUEST: WHAT? HOST: KEN FROM WASHINGTON D.C.
[00:50:43] AN INDEPENDENT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING, THANKS
[00:50:46] FOR TAKING MY CALL. ELDER GREEN, REPRESENTATIVE
[00:50:50] GREEN, I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK
[00:50:51] THAT YOU'VE DONE, I ADMIRE THE
[00:50:54] WORK YOU'VE DONE. AND AT TIMES IT SEEMS LIKE
[00:50:57] YOU'RE ALONE SOMETIMES ON THE
[00:51:00] HILL. REPRESENTING PARTICULARLY OUR
[00:51:03] INTEREST AS MEN AND WOMEN OF
[00:51:05] COLOR SO I CONTINUALLY SALUTE
[00:51:08] THE WORK YOU'VE DONE. PART OF THE QUESTION I HAVE, WE'RE GOING BACK TO WHAT A
[00:51:12] CALLER MENTIONED TO YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MIGRANTS DOING CRIME.
[00:51:16] WE KNOW RIGHT NOW WHAT TRUMP IS DOING AT THE SMITHSONIAN.
[00:51:20] YOU KNOW, TRYING TO REWRITE HISTORY, IF YOU WANT TO TALK
[00:51:24] ABOUT RAPE AND MURDER AND OPPRESSION, YOU CAN START THERE
[00:51:28] WITH THE ACTUAL U.S. HISTORY OF
[00:51:30] PEOPLE THAT, OF COURSE, LIVED HERE.
[00:51:32] AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE
[00:51:35] PHILLIP JOYNER, 1868 WHEN HE AND
[00:51:40] HUNDREDS OF FREE BLACK MEN AND
[00:51:42] WOMEN MARCHED IN SOUTHWESTERN
[00:51:45] GEORGIA TO JUST USE THEIR CIVIC DUTY TO GET THEIR RIGHTS AFTER
[00:51:49] THEY WERE TAKEN FROM THEM. AND THEY WERE MASSACRED, THEY WERE KILLED.
[00:51:53] THESE ARE TRUTHFUL THINGS THAT I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT A LOT
[00:51:57] OF CALLERS DON'T.
[00:51:59] BUT MY QUESTION IS -- IS
[00:52:02] TWOFOLD, ONE I'M DISAPPOINTED AT
[00:52:04] THE TEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS,
[00:52:07] YOUR PARTY MEMBERS THAT VOTED TO
[00:52:08] CENSURE YOU WHEN YOU STOOD UP
[00:52:12] LIKE A BLACK MAN WITH CONVICTION DOES IN THIS COUNTRY.
[00:52:15] THAT -- AND SO I GUESS MY
[00:52:18] QUESTION BECOMES, WHY CAN WE NOT
[00:52:22] MOTIVATE NOT JUST THE REPUBLICANS, BUT EVEN THE
[00:52:25] DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO HAVE SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR FOR
[00:52:27] PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT HAVE
[00:52:30] INHERITED THE DISCRIMINATION OF
[00:52:32] RACISM THAT THIS NATION HAS PRODUCED.
[00:52:35] WHY IS THERE NO BUREAU OF FREE
[00:52:38] AFFAIRS OF SOME SORT OF
[00:52:41] RECLAMATION BUREAU FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THIS COUNTRY?
[00:52:45] IF I CRITICIZE THE WRONG NATION
[00:52:47] THEY CONTINUALLY GET THE SUPPORT AND THEY ARE AS RACIST AS ANY
[00:52:51] OTHER COUNTRY IN THIS NATION. AGAIN I SALUTE YOU AND I
[00:52:54] APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU'RE DOING.
[00:52:56] KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB.
[00:52:59] GUEST: I HAVE LEGISLATION
[00:53:00] CALLING FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
[00:53:05] RECONCILIATION, TO DEAL WITH THE
[00:53:06] ISSUE OF ENSLAVMENT OF AFRICAN
[00:53:10] AMERICANS FOR MORE THAN 240
[00:53:12] YEARS THESE PEOPLE PLANTED THE
[00:53:15] SEEDS, CROPS, HAND A HAND IN BUILDING THE WHITE HOUSE, THE
[00:53:19] CAPITOL. THEY ARE THE ECONOMIC FOUNDATION
[00:53:21] OF MOTHERS AND FATHERS OF THIS COUNTRY AND THEY HAVE BEEN
[00:53:24] TREATED LIKE THROW AWAYS LIKE THEIR LIVES DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING.
[00:53:28] THEY SHOULD BE HONORED AND
[00:53:30] RESPECTED JUST AS WE HAVE
[00:53:35] HONORED CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS, WE
[00:53:36] SHOULD ACCORD THE ENSLAVED TOO.
[00:53:40] WE RECOGNIZE 9/11 AND SHOULD COMMEMORATE IT.
[00:53:44] WE RECOGNIZE PEARL HARBOR AND SHOULD COMMEMORATE IT.
[00:53:47] WE RECOGNIZE THE HOLOCAUST AND
[00:53:51] COMMEMORATE IT. IF WE CAN RECOGNIZE ALL OF THOSE
[00:53:55] WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENSLAVEMENT OF PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY.
[00:53:58] IT'S EASY TO LOOK INTO THE WINDOW OF LIFE AND SEE WHAT
[00:54:01] HAPPENED IN NAZI JOURNEY AND
[00:54:03] CRITICIZE WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM
[00:54:07] BUT IT'S DIFFICULT TO LOOK AND SEE THE DEED IMPOSED ON PEOPLE
[00:54:11] IN THIS COUNTRY FOR MORE THAN
[00:54:13] 240 YEARS. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR
[00:54:17] WORK BE RECOGNIZED AND BE
[00:54:21] COMMEMORATED FOR THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO MAKE AMERICA THE COUNTRY IT IS.
[00:54:25] HOST: DOC FROM PORTLAND,
[00:54:29] OREGON, AN INDEPENDENT.
[00:54:31] YOU'RE ON, DOC.
[00:54:33] CALLER: I HAVE A QUESTION. LOOKING TO THE DECEMBER REMOVAL
[00:54:37] OF THE DEBT CEILING. I NOTICED THAT THERE'S
[00:54:41] INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEBTS TO PENNY DATA.
[00:54:45] WE REACHED 40 TRILLION DOLLAR IN DEBT.
[00:54:47] I'M WONDERING WHAT THE PLAN IS
[00:54:49] TO DEAL WITH THAT WHEN IT COULD
[00:54:53] ROUND UP AN ENTIRE INTERNATIONAL
[00:55:08] PLAYERS. GUEST: HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS,
[00:55:10] REPUBLICANS GO ON A BIG SPENDING
[00:55:13] SPREE AND WHEN DEMOCRATS ARE ABOUT TO TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE,
[00:55:17] THE GOVERNMENT, HOUSE, SENATE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY BECOME
[00:55:20] PERSONS CALLING FOR AUSTERITY,
[00:55:22] THEY NO LONGER WANT SPENDING, THEY WANT CUTS.
[00:55:25] THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T BREAK THE BANK AS IT WERE.
[00:55:29] WE DON'T PUT THE COUNTRY INTO DEBT SUCH THAT WE CAN'T COVER
[00:55:32] OUR BILLS. THE DEMOCRATS ALWAYS FIND THEMSELVES COMING IN TO CLEAN UP
[00:55:36] THE REPUBLICAN MESS. AND THAT'S WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN NOW.
[00:55:39] DEMOCRATS TAKE CONTROL, THEY
[00:55:42] HAVE TO NOW CLEAN UP ALL OF
[00:55:44] THESE VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE REPUGNANT THAT THE
[00:55:47] REPUBLICANS HAVE PUT IN MOTION. CLEAN UP THE WAR THAT THE -- THE
[00:55:51] WAR OF CHOICE THAT THE PRESIDENT
[00:55:53] CHOSE TO GET HIMSELF INTO.
[00:55:55] CLEAN UP THE TARIFFS THAT THE
[00:55:58] PRESIDENT IMPOSED THAT WERE PASSED ON TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[00:56:02] OURS BECOME THE CLEANUP CREW,
[00:56:06] THEY BECOME THE WRECKING CREW.
[00:56:09] WE CLEAN IT UP, THEY COME IN, GO
[00:56:12] ON A SPENDING SPREE, TALK ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE TO DO ALL THESE
[00:56:16] THINGS. I'M FOR CLEANING UP, BUT I'M
[00:56:18] ALSO FOR TAKING CARE OF HEALTH
[00:56:21] CARE, FOR SOCIAL SECURITY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE
[00:56:24] CAN BUY FOOD, HAVE CLOTHING AND SHELTER.
[00:56:27] I'M FOR AFFORDABILITY.
[00:56:29] BUT I'M FOR AFFORDABILITY NOT TO
[00:56:31] THE EXCLUSION OF ACCOUNTABILITY. PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HELD
[00:56:35] ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS.
[00:56:37] WE CAN HAVE AFFORDABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
[00:56:41] WE CANNOT ALLOW FOUR PEOPLE TO BE KILLED IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
[00:56:45] WE SAW WITH OUR VERY OWN EYES IN A COUPLE OF OF THESE CASES SAW
[00:56:49] THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND DIDN'T DO NOTHING AND ALLOWED THE
[00:56:52] PRESIDENT TO SAY, WELL, IF THEY
[00:56:55] ARE CONVICTED WE'LL GIVE HIM A PARDON.
[00:56:57] HOST: WE'RE OUT OF TIME BUT SINCE YOU SERVE ON THE FINANCIAL
[00:57:01] SERVICES COMMITTEE WHICH HAS OVERSIGHT OF THE FEDERAL
[00:57:04] RESERVE, THEY'RE MEETING THIS WEEK, DO YOU BELIEVE THEY SHOULD
[00:57:06] RAISE INTEREST RATES?
[00:57:09] GUEST: I THINK WE HAVE TO BE
[00:57:12] MEASURED ABOUT THIS.
[00:57:14] IT APPEARS TO ME THAT WHEN YOUR
[00:57:18] ECONOMY IS OVER HEATING, YOU
[00:57:20] HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO COOL IT.
[00:57:24] THAT IS, GENERALLY SPEAKING, WHAT IS DONE. I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT TO SEE
[00:57:28] THEM RAISE THE INTEREST RATES TO
[00:57:31] A POSITION SUCH THAT YOU GO TO A
[00:57:35] POINT WHERE WE CANNOT AFFORD
[00:57:36] SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE
[00:57:40] NECESSARY, AFFORD MORTGAGES AND THAT SORT OF THING BECAUSE WHEN
[00:57:44] YOU RAISE INTEREST RATES YOU IMPACT THESE THINGS.
[00:57:46] BUT I CAN SEE THEM RAISING INTEREST RATES A BIT TO SIGNAL
[00:57:50] THEY WANT TO COOL THE ECONOMY AND MAKE SURE WE CAN HAVE LOWER
[00:57:54] INTEREST RATES IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE WANT PEOPLE
[00:57:57] TO BE ABLE TO BUY HOMES. HOST: WE'RE OUT OF TIME.
[00:58:01] I WISH WE HAD MORE TIME.
[00:58:04] GUEST: INVITE ME BACK AND THE PEOPLE IN THE AXIOS ARTICLE HAVE THEM SIT HERE WITH ME.
[00:58:08] LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS ON THE AIR. HAVE ALL OF THEM COME.
[00:58:12] I'LL DEBATE ALL OF THEM AT ONE TIME.
[00:58:14] HOST: WE'LL TRY TO DO THAT.

[01:00:30] CONVERSATION
[01:00:33] HOST: HUMAN FIRST CHAIR AMY KREMER IS HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US THIS MORNING.
[01:00:37] GUEST: THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE.
[01:00:40] HOST: WE'LL GET TO QUESTIONS IN A LITTLE BIT, BUT FIRST I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT HIGHWAY YOU GOT TO THIS PLACE.
[01:00:44] LAST NIGHT I READ THIS ARTICLE FROM "THE WASHINGTON POST," A GREAT ARTICLE THAT TALKED ABOUT
[01:00:48] YOUR NEW EFFORT OVER THE SUMMER.
[01:00:53] SHE SAYS THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN, BUT SEES A NEW THREAT IN
[01:00:56] TECH BILLIONAIRES' POWER. IT GOES ON TO SAY IN THE HOURS
[01:00:59] BEFORE A VIOLENT MOB DESCENDED ON THE U.S. CAPITOL, AMY KREMER
[01:01:03] LED A RALLY NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE CALLING ON CONGRESS TO OVERTURN
[01:01:07] PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S DECEIT IN THE 2020 ELECTION. FIVE YEARS HOUSE REPORT, KREMER
[01:01:11] STILLLESS THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN, BUT THESE DAYS SHE HAS A
[01:01:13] NEW TARGET, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COMPANIES.
[01:01:16] TELL US HOW YOU GOT HERE. GUEST: WELL, I GOT HERE BY
[01:01:19] PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND I SAW BACK IN THE
[01:01:23] FALL OF 2024 THE DATA CENTER
[01:01:27] FIGHTS POPPING UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY. EVERYBODY KEPT SAYING THESE ARE LOCAL ISSUES, AND THERE WAS
[01:01:32] SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT REMINDED ME OF THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT
[01:01:35] BACK IN AUGUST OF 2009, WHEN MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WERE HAVING
[01:01:38] THEIR TOWN HALLS AND PEOPLE WERE VERY UPSET AND ANGRY.
[01:01:42] AND IT CONTINUED TO GROW. PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO
[01:01:45] GO AWAY, AND IT HAS NOT. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE NOW.
[01:01:48] AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE VERY
[01:01:50] CONCERNED ABOUT, AND THEN WHEN I CONNECTED DATA CENTERS TO A.I.
[01:01:54] AND LEARNED WHAT WAS HAPPENING
[01:01:56] TO CHILDREN AND THE MANIPULATION
[01:01:59] BY CHATBOTS AND CHILDREN TAKING THEIR OWN LIVES AND HARMING
[01:02:02] THEMSELVES, THAT'S WHEN I WAS
[01:02:04] LIKE, AS A MOM, IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME.
[01:02:08] OUR CHILDREN ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE, AND WE NEED TO STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR THEM.
[01:02:12] SO THAT'S HOW I GOT HERE. HOST: WHO WHO DO YOU WORK WITH
[01:02:17] AT HUMAN FIRST?
[01:02:19] GUEST: I WORK WITH A NUMBER OF CONSERVATIVES, AND WE ARE ALL IN
[01:02:22] ON THIS FIGHT. THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT I'VE
[01:02:25] WORKED WITH IN THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT, AND I'M EXCITED TO BE
[01:02:28] HERE WITH THEM.
[01:02:30] HOST: OUTSIDE OF KIND OF THE
[01:02:32] PUTTING TWO TOGETHER, THE DATA
[01:02:34] CENTERS AND THE A.I., I MEAN, DO
[01:02:38] YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT THE ROLE OF A.I.,
[01:02:42] PARTICULARLY AFTER WE'VE HEARD
[01:02:43] IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS TECH
[01:02:47] COMPANIES OWNERS CALLING FOR MORE REGULATION, TALKING ABOUT
[01:02:50] THE ENTITY? GUEST: THIS IS NOTHING NEW TO ME.
[01:02:53] I THINK THE STORY IS THAT IT'S ACTUALLY OUT THERE IN THE PUBLIC
[01:02:56] AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT. AS I'VE LEARNED MORE AND MOTHER
[01:02:59] ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY, IT'S VERY CONCERNING THAT THERE'S NO
[01:03:03] REGULATIONS AROUND IT WHATSOEVER. THERE'S MORE REGULATIONS AROUND
[01:03:07] A HOTDOG THAT YOU WOULD BUY FROM THE STREET VENDOR IN NEW YORK CITY THAN THERE ARE THE
[01:03:11] TECHNOLOGY. AND WHAT WE'RE LEARNING IS THAT
[01:03:13] THE TECHNOLOGY IS BEING USED BY
[01:03:19] BOKO HARAM, THE HOUTHIS, IN SHOOTINGS, FLORIDA STATE
[01:03:22] UNIVERSITY, THE SHOOTING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA EARLY THIS YEAR, AND THERE'S NOTICE
[01:03:27] REGULATIONS AND THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO REPORT THIS TOTE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR ANYBODY ELSE. THAT IS VERY CONCERNING.
[01:03:31] AND ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED.
[01:03:33] HOST: WE WILL BE TAKING SOME PHONE CALLS. I'LL REMIND UP OF YOUR LINES.
[01:03:37] CALL IN AND ASK AMY SOME QUESTIONS.
[01:03:40] WE'RE TALKING A.I. THIS MORNING.
[01:03:44] DEMOCRATS, 202-748-8000.
[01:03:48] REPUBLICANS, 202-748-8001.
[01:03:50] INDEPENDENTS, 202-748-8002.
[01:03:53] START CALLING IN NOW SO YOU CAN GET IN TO SOME GOOD QUESTIONS.
[01:03:56] I'M LOOKING AT THIS GALLUP POLL
[01:04:00] THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN JULY,
[01:04:02] AMERICANS COOL TOWARD A.I.
[01:04:04] AND IT SHOWS THAT MORE AMERICANS
[01:04:07] BELIEVE THAT A.I. DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD. IT ACTUALLY HAS AN INTERESTING
[01:04:11] GRAPHIC HERE SHOWING HOW THAT
[01:04:14] HAS CHANGED OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
[01:04:16] I WONDER, WHY DO YOU BELIEVE
[01:04:19] THAT NOW A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS
[01:04:22] HAVE BECOME AT LEAST SKEPTICAL OF A.I.? YOU START THIS PROCESS YOU SAID
[01:04:25] IN 2024. NOW IT'S 2026. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
[01:04:28] GUEST: WELL, IT'S ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM.
[01:04:31] I THINK IT'S AN 80-20 ISSUE. I WILL TELL YOU THIS, WHEN WE
[01:04:35] HAD A NATIONWIDE DAY OF PROTESTS
[01:04:38] FOR DATA CENTERS BACK IN JULY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS VERY
[01:04:42] INTERESTING TO ME IS THERE WERE A LOT OF SIGNS ABOUT A.I., NOT
[01:04:46] ABOUT THE DATA CENTERS, ABOUT THE ELECTRICITY AND THE WATER
[01:04:49] AND THE LAND AND EMINENT DOMAIN, THE ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE
[01:04:53] CONCERNED ABOUT SURROUNDING DATA CENTERS. THERE WERE A LOT OF SIGNS, A LOT
[01:04:57] OF T-SHIRTS ABOUT A.I. AND THAT WAS KIND OF SHOCKING TO ME.
[01:05:00] AND WE'RE HEARING IT MORE AND MORE. BUT IT SHOULDN'T SURPRISE US,
[01:05:04] BECAUSE A.I. IS TOUCHING EVERY
[01:05:06] ASPECT OF OUR LIVES, AND WE'VE
[01:05:10] HAD NO SAY AT THIS. IT'S BEING SHOVED DOWN THE
[01:05:13] AMERICAN THROAT, AND THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
[01:05:16] HOST: YOU SAID IT'S ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM, BECAUSE YOU
[01:05:19] WORK WITH A LOT OF
[01:05:23] CONSERVATIVES, BUT YOU WORKED WITH PROGRESSIVES EARLIER.
[01:05:26] TODAY WE'LL SEE INDEPENDENT SENATOR WHO CAUCUSES WITH
[01:05:29] SENATORS, BERNIE SANDERS OF
[01:05:31] VERMONT, AT THE SAME A.I. FORUM,
[01:05:35] PRO HUMAN FOR HER 'EM WITH STEVE
[01:05:38] BANNON, MAGA ADVISOR. HOW THE OVERLAP, EXPLAIN HOW THIS CROSSES THE POLITICAL
[01:05:43] DIVIDE. GUEST: BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT PARTY POLITICS. A.I. DOESN'T CARE WHAT PARTY YOU
[01:05:47] BELONG TO. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR
[01:05:49] POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CONCERNS
[01:05:53] ALL AMERICANS. I MEAN, YOU OPEN YOUR EMAIL, AND
[01:05:55] THERE IT IS IN YOUR EMAIL.
[01:05:57] LET ME SUMMARIZE THIS. I DON'T REMEMBER EVER ASKING FOR
[01:06:01] THAT. MOST PEOPLE DON'T REMEMBER ASKING FOR THAT SORT OF THING.
[01:06:05] AND THEN YOU'RE FINDING OUT
[01:06:06] ABOUT THE BUILDOUT AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
[01:06:10] IT'S VERY CONCERNING THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A
[01:06:11] VOICE, AND CONGRESS DOES NOT GOVERN. PEOPLE ARE LOOKING TO THE
[01:06:15] PRESIDENT TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. THE PRESIDENT IS NOT A LAWMAKER.
[01:06:19] IT IS CONGRESS' JOB TO ACT.
[01:06:21] AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING. THERE HAS BEEN SOME LEGISLATION
[01:06:25] THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN, THAT'S BEEN GOOD LEGISLATION, BUT THEY
[01:06:28] HAVE NOT ACTED. I MEAN, I THINK THEY'RE SHIRKING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY.
[01:06:32] THEIR NUMBER ONE RESPONSIBILITY IS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND
[01:06:36] HOW IS THIS TECHNOLOGY IMPACTING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY?
[01:06:39] I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR, WE'RE NOT ANTI-A.I.
[01:06:42] WE'RE NOT ANTI-TECH. WE'RE NOT EVEN ANTI-DATA CENTER.
[01:06:45] WE JUST WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND
[01:06:48] A VOICE IN HOW THIS TECHNOLOGY IMPACTS OUR LIVES ANYWAY, HOW IT
[01:06:52] WILL IMPACT OUR LIVES IN THE FUTURE, AND HOW THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS BUILT OUT.
[01:06:56] HOST: I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT
[01:06:58] THE PRESIDENT IN A SECOND, BUT
[01:07:01] JUST YESTERDAY, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOHN THUNE SAID THAT A
[01:07:04] LIGHT TOUCH WAS NEED WHEN HAD IT COMES TO THIS ISSUE OF A.I.
[01:07:07] WE PLAYED A CLIP EARLIER WITH SPEAKER JOHN THUNE, WHO SAID
[01:07:11] THAT CONGRESS SHOULD BE INVOLVED, BUT IT IS ALSO UP TO
[01:07:14] THE TECH COMPANIES TO REGULATE THEMSELVES AND THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A MEETING LATER ON
[01:07:18] WITH LAWMAKERS AND A.I. COMPANIES.
[01:07:20] I MEAN, IS THAT ENOUGH THAT YOU'RE SEEING FROM YOUR
[01:07:24] REPUBLICAN PARTY? GUEST: YOU CAN PUT ANY LABEL YOU
[01:07:28] WANT TO ON IT, LIGHT TOUCH, BUT
[01:07:31] I DO NOT THINK THESE COMPANIES SHOULD SELF-REGULATE, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
[01:07:34] I THINK IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT. THAT'S ANTITHETICAL.
[01:07:38] I'M A CONSERVATIVE. IT'S ANTITHETICAL TO WHO I AM.
[01:07:42] I'D NEVER ADVOCATE FOR MORE GOVERNMENT, BUT I KNOW THIS IS
[01:07:45] THE MOST POWERFUL TECHNOLOGY IN HUMAN HISTORY, AND SOMETHING HAS
[01:07:48] TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.
[01:07:50] AND WHO ELSE IS GOING TO DO THAT
[01:07:53] BESIDES OUR REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT? IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY SO
[01:07:57] TAKE ACTION. HOST: LAST QUESTION BEFORE WE
[01:07:59] TURN TO THE NEXT PHONE CALL, I KNOW YOU SAID YOU WORK WITH
[01:08:02] PROGRESSIVES AND THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL PARTY ISSUE, BUT CAN
[01:08:05] YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE FOUND WHEN WORKING ACROSS THE
[01:08:09] AISLE WITH PROGRESSIVES, WITH DEMOCRATS ON THIS ISSUE? WHAT HAS BEEN A POSITIVE, AND
[01:08:13] ALSO WHAT'S BEEN A NEGATIVE? GUEST: WE HAVEN'T REALLY WORKED
[01:08:17] WITH PROGRESSIVES. WE STARTED OUT WITH A LEFT
[01:08:21] LEANING COALITION AND A RIGHT LEANING COALITION, AND THEN THE ORGANIZATION SPLIT INTO TWO
[01:08:25] SEPARATE ORGANIZATIONS, BECAUSE
[01:08:26] THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT JUST WORK DIFFERENTLY.
[01:08:29] WE ORGANIZE IN A DIFFERENT WAY T. I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE IN POWER
[01:08:33] AND YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, IT JUST WASN'T GOING TO WORK.
[01:08:36] AND IF YOU WANT TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU CAN'T BE CONSTRAINED BY
[01:08:39] ANOTHER COALITION IN YOUR OWN ORGANIZATION.
[01:08:43] SO WE SPLIT, AND SO I HAVE BEEN FOCUSED ON ORGANIZING AND
[01:08:46] RALLYING CONSERVATIVES AROUND THIS CAUSE AND SAYING, IT'S OK
[01:08:50] TO BE A CONSERVATIVE AND TO WANT REGULATION AROUND THE A.I. AND
[01:08:54] TO WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO DO SOMETHING.
[01:08:56] AND I WILL TELL YOU, WE'RE
[01:08:59] COMING UP ON JANUARY, ALL THESE STATE LEGISLATURES ARE GOING
[01:09:02] BACK INTO SESSION, AND I EXPECT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A NUMBER
[01:09:05] OF STATES THAT WILL TAKE ACTION
[01:09:08] ON A STATE LEVEL BECAUSE CONGRESS HAS NOT ACTED.
[01:09:11] HOST: I WANT TO READ TWO SOCIALS FROM THE PRESIDENT HERE.
[01:09:14] I POSTED THIS YESTERDAY, HE SAYS
[01:09:16] THE ONLY CONTROL OR GUARDRAIL
[01:09:18] THAT A.I. NEEDS IS A STRONG AND
[01:09:20] SMART, HIGH I.Q. PRESIDENT, AND
[01:09:22] THE U.S.A. THAT HAS THAT IN SPADES. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS
[01:09:26] STOPPED A.I. PEOPLE FROM DOING BAD OR POTENTIALLY BAD THINGS,
[01:09:30] LIKE DARIO ANTHROPIC WHO IS NOW PRETENDING TO BE A PERFECT
[01:09:33] LITTLE ANGEL, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
[01:09:36] WE HAVE ALREADY TREMENDOUS CRIMINAL AND REGULATORY POWER OVER THESE COMPANIES.
[01:09:40] THERE IS A SICK CONSPIRACY GOING ON AGAINST A.I. AND DATA
[01:09:43] CENTERS, AND THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAPPY ABOUT IT IS CHINA.
[01:09:47] WHOEVER WINS A.I., WINS. WE ARE LEADING CHINA AND ALL
[01:09:50] OTHERS, AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. CONSPIRACY THEORISTS,
[01:09:54] TREASONNISTS, TRAITS AND LEAKERS, BEWARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
[01:09:57] HE LATER CALLED IT A SMOKES SAID HE WAS A HOAX BUSTER. HOW DOES THIS ALIGN WITH YOUR
[01:10:01] POSITION RIGHT NOW? GUEST: WELL, THE PRESIDENT IS
[01:10:05] RUNNING THE COUNTRY. THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES HE'S DEALING WITH.
[01:10:08] THERE'S A WAR IN IRAN. THERE'S UKRAINE-RUSSIA.
[01:10:11] HOST: BUT A.I. IS ONE OF THEM. GUEST: HE'S ALSO NOT A TECH PERSON.
[01:10:15] JUST LIKE I'M NOT A TECH PERSON. HE'S ONLY AS GOOD AS PEOPLE IN
[01:10:18] HIS EAR AND THE PEOPLE AROUND HIM. I THINK HE'S HAD SOME BAD PEOPLE
[01:10:21] AROUND HIM GIVING HIM ADVICE OWE THIS. HE'S ABOUT TO HIT THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, AND I THINK HE'S GOING TO
[01:10:25] HEAR FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THAT GIVES ME HOPE.
[01:10:29] BECAUSE I HOPE HE MOVES OUR WAY.
[01:10:31] I WOULD LIKE THE PRESIDENT TO
[01:10:34] TALK TO THE MOTHER OF A
[01:10:37] 23-YEAR-OLD GRADUATE FROM TEXAS A&M WHO TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
[01:10:41] BECAUSE HE WAS MANIPULATED BY A CHATBOT.
[01:10:44] A 14-YEAR-OLD BOY OUT OF
[01:10:46] ORLANDO, FLORIDA, HIS MOTHER
[01:10:49] MEGAN GARCIA, IT HER SON WAS MANIPULATED BY A CHATBOT.
[01:10:53] THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN MANIPULATED BY THESE CHATBOTS.
[01:10:57] AND THE ONLY REASON WE KNOW ABOUT THIS STUFF IS BECAUSE OF
[01:11:00] LAWSUITS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED BY THE FAMILIES T. OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE NO IDEA.
[01:11:04] WE HONESTLY DON'T KNOW HOW OFTEN
[01:11:08] OR HOW MANY TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. AND THAT IS SOMETHING WE NEED.
[01:11:11] WE NEED TRANSPARENCY, AND I WOULD LOVE FOR THE PRESIDENT TO
[01:11:14] TALK TO THESE PARENTS AND SEE HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THIS.
[01:11:16] BECAUSE IT IS A VERY REAL ISSUE,
[01:11:19] AND IT IS VERY CONCERNING TO
[01:11:21] MANY PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOST: WHO DO YOU BELIEVE IS
[01:11:25] GIVING THE PRESIDENT BAD ADVICE? GUEST: DAVID SACKS.
[01:11:28] HOST: ANYBODY ELSE? GUEST: I MEAN, LOOK, LET ME JUST
[01:11:31] SAY THIS -- HOST: HE MET WITH APPLE SALTMAN,
[01:11:34] ACCORDING TO MSNOW OVER THE WEEKEND. ERING HEARING FROM A LOT OF
[01:11:38] PEOPLE. I WONDER WHAT YOU THINK THE EXAMPLES ARE.
[01:11:40] GUEST: I WILL SAY THIS, THESE
[01:11:42] TECH C.E.O.'S ARE THE SAME TECH
[01:11:45] C.E.O.'S THAT BANNED THE PRESIDENT AND CONSERVATIVES
[01:11:49] AFTER THE 2020 ELECTION.
[01:11:52] MARK ZUCKERBERG, NUMBER ONE, BANNED PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM
[01:11:54] FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM FOR LIFE. AND THEN HE COMES BACK INTO
[01:11:58] POWER, AND MARK ZUCKERBERG IS
[01:12:01] DOE NIGHTING TO THE INAUGURATION AND COZYING UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
[01:12:05] ALL THESE PEOPLE CARE ABOUT IS MONEY AND POWER. THAT'S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.
[01:12:08] AS SOON AS REPUBLICANS ARE NO LONGER IN CHARGE, THEY'RE GOING TO COZY UP TO A DEMOCRAT AND
[01:12:12] KICK CONSERVATIVES TO THE CURB. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT REPUBLICANS.
[01:12:15] THEY CARE ABOUT POWER. THAT'S ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.
[01:12:17] HOST: RALPH FROM MICHIGAN, A DEMOCRAT.
[01:12:21] GOOD MORNING, RALPH.
[01:12:22] GUEST: YES, I HAVE TO ASK ABOUT
[01:12:26] THE SUPPOSED STOLEN ELECTION IN
[01:12:30] 2020 WHERE JOE BIDEN BEAT DONALD TRUMP.
[01:12:33] I HAVE HERE, THIS IS A SCREEN
[01:12:35] SHOT, IT SAYS A.P. PROBE, THIS
[01:12:37] WAS REPORTED ON FOX NEWS, IT
[01:12:39] SAYS A.P. PROBE, NO CONSPIRACY
[01:12:42] TO RIG 2020 ELECTION.
[01:12:44] IT WAS AN AUDIT, IN FACT.
[01:12:47] IT SAYS THEY AUDITED THE VOTES
[01:12:52] IN THE SIX BATTLEGROUND STATES,
[01:12:58] AND OUT OF 21 MILLION VOTES
[01:13:01] CAST, ACCORDING TO THE A.P.,
[01:13:05] ONLY 473, I LAUGH, I'M SORRY,
[01:13:07] ONLY 473 WERE FOUND TO BE SUSPICIOUS.
[01:13:11] SO THE A.P. CONCLUDED.
[01:13:15] NOW, MY VIEW OF THE 2020 ELECTION WAS IT WAS FAIR, THERE
[01:13:18] WASN'T ANY CHEATING. THE CHEATING THAT I'M AWARE OF
[01:13:21] WAS SORT OF ON THE REPUBLICAN
[01:13:25] SIDE. HOST: RALPH, I WONDER IF YOU'VE GOT A QUESTION. GUEST: YEAH.
[01:13:29] DO YOU BELIEVE -- OK, THE FIRST
[01:13:30] QUESTION IS, WHERE WAS THE VOTE
[01:13:33] FRAUD IN THE SIX BATTLEGROUND STATES?
[01:13:36] IT SAYS HERE, ACCORDING TO THE
[01:13:38] A.P. PROBE, ONLY 473 VOTES OUT
[01:13:41] OF 21 MILLION WERE SUSPICIOUS.
[01:13:44] THAT'S NOT A RIGGED ELECTION.
[01:13:46] SO WHAT EVIDENCE DOES SHE HAVE
[01:13:48] THAT THE ELECTION IN 2020 WAS RIGGED? CAN YOU ANSWER THAT QUESTION?
[01:13:52] HOST: ALL RIGHT, LET'S LET AMY GET IN HERE. GUEST: WE'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE
[01:13:55] TO AGREE TO DISAGREE. I BELIEVE THE 2020 ELECTION WAS
[01:13:59] STOLEN. IT'S INTERESTING THAT HE SAYS
[01:14:00] THAT THE A.P. DID AN AUDIT IN
[01:14:04] ALL THESE STATES, IN GEORGIA, WE CAN'T EVEN GET AN AUDIT OF THE
[01:14:07] ELECTION IN GEORGIA. AND THERE WERE BALLOTS.
[01:14:10] WE SAW THEM SEALED RECENT AM BY THE F.B.I. THEY'VE BEEN PUT UNDER SEAL.
[01:14:14] THEY'RE THE ONLY BALLOTS LEFT FROM THE 2020 ELECTION.
[01:14:17] AND WE WEREN'T ABLE TO HAVE THOSE BALLOTS. WE STILL DON'T HAVE THEM.
[01:14:20] THE F.B.I. HAS THEM NOW.
[01:14:23] SO THERE WERE A LOT OF IRREGULARITIES, A LOT OF THINGS
[01:14:26] THAT WENT WRONG IN THE 2020 ELECTION. AND I THINK THAT IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF OUR
[01:14:30] LIFETIME, BECAUSE FREE AND FAIR
[01:14:32] ELECTIONS IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR REPUBLIC.
[01:14:36] AND WHEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T HAVE FAITH IN OUR
[01:14:38] ELECTIONS, THAT'S A BIG CONCERN. HOST: I MEAN, AGAIN, TO RALPH'S
[01:14:42] POINT, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF WIDE SPREAD VOTER FRAUD.
[01:14:44] GUEST: WELL, GO LOOK AT COUNTY
[01:14:48] COMMISSION RACE FOR SEAT THREE IN GEORGIA, WHERE MICHELLE LONG
[01:14:52] WAS RUNNING IN THAT ELECTION, AND SHE CAME IN THIRD IN THE PRIMARY.
[01:14:56] SHE IS A DEMOCRAT, CAME IN THIRD IN THE PRIMARY.
[01:14:59] ON ELECTION NIGHT, SHE HAD NO VOTES IN HER OWN PRECINCT.
[01:15:03] SHE KNEW THAT WAS NOT RIGHT, BALLS HER AND HER HUSBAND HAD
[01:15:06] VOTED IN HER PRECINCT FOR HERSELF.
[01:15:08] SO THE JUDGE ALLOWED IT TO BE REOPENED AND DO AN AUDIT.
[01:15:12] THEY KEPT RUNNING THE NUMBERS. THEY WEREN'T MATCHING.
[01:15:15] IN THE END, GUESS WHAT, SHE ACTUALLY CAME IN FIRST IN THE
[01:15:18] PERSON THAT CAME IN FIRST WAS IN THIRD PLACE.
[01:15:21] AND IT TOOK A HAND COUNT OF
[01:15:23] THOSE BALLOTS TO MAKE IT WORK.
[01:15:25] AND SHE WAS A DEMOCRAT.
[01:15:29] DEKALB COUNTY COMMISSION SEAT THREE. HOST: OK, LET'S TURN BACK TO
[01:15:33] A.I. NOW. WE MIGHT GET MORE CALLS ON THE
[01:15:36] ELECTION, BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, BACK TO A.I.
[01:15:39] ON TWITTER, WE HAVE JEFF FROM
[01:15:43] DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, WHO SAYS THAT IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR OUR GOVERNMENT TO ACT ON A.I. WHEN
[01:15:46] SPEAKER JOHNSON HAS SENT THE LOWER HOUSE HOME, WOULDN'T YOU
[01:15:50] SAY? HOW DO THEY ENFORCE THE LAW WHEN
[01:15:53] TRUMP KEEPS PARDONING A.I. CRIMINALS?
[01:15:57] NOW, CONGRESS IS IN THIS WEEK, BUT THEY WILL SOON BE GOING HOME
[01:16:01] TO CAMPAIGN FOR THE MIDTERMS. BUT TWO QUESTIONS, AND HOW DO
[01:16:04] THEY ENFORCE THE LAW WHEN
[01:16:07] CONGRESS IS ABOUT TO BE OUT AND
[01:16:10] WHEN THE PRESIDENT PERIOD A.I. CRIMINALS ACCORDING TO JEFF OF
[01:16:14] DEARBORN, MICHIGAN? GUEST: I WILL SAY THIS, LEADERSHIP WOULD BE GETTING
[01:16:18] CONGRESS BACK HERE AND HOLDING THEM HERE UNTIL THEY GOVERN. THEY NEED TO GOVERN.
[01:16:22] AND THEY DON'T ENFORCE THE LAW. THEY MAKE THE LAW.
[01:16:24] AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW.
[01:16:26] WE NEED THEM TO REGULATE THIS.
[01:16:29] WE NEED THEM TO GOVERN ON THIS.
[01:16:32] AND I HOPE SPEAKER JOHNSON COMES
[01:16:34] TO HIS SENSES AND WILL GET CONGRESS TO ACT ON THIS.
[01:16:37] IT IS NOT, I DON'T THINK THESE C.E.O.'S CAN BE TRUSTED TO
[01:16:41] SELF-REGULATE. I THINK THAT'S ABSURD ON ITS FACE.
[01:16:45] HOST: SO FRANK FROM MARYLANDLESS THE PROBLEM IS THE CAT IS OUT OF
[01:16:48] THE BAG, AND JUST AS THE ATOMIC
[01:16:52] BOMB BECAME INEVITABLE ONCE WE KNEW IT COULD HAPPEN, SO WILL A.I.
[01:16:55] YEP, WE NEED TO REGULATE, BUT I FEAR A.I. WILL BECOME THE RING
[01:16:58] THAT CONTROLS US ALL.
[01:17:02] WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT? GUEST: THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS
[01:17:05] ABOUT A.I. I MEAN, THERE IS A LOT OF
[01:17:07] CONCERNS ABOUT A.I.
[01:17:10] AND YOU KNOW, CONTROLLING US ALL, I MEAN, IT YOU'RE HEARING
[01:17:13] THESE LEADERS OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT THAT'S AN ESSENTIAL THREAT.
[01:17:17] WHAT ABOUT THE THREAT OF WIPING HUMANITY OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET?
[01:17:20] THAT'S WHAT HUMANS FIRST IS ABOUT.
[01:17:22] WE WANT A BOB ON SUPER INTELLIGENCE. -- A BAN ON SUPER INTELLIGENCE.
[01:17:27] HUMANS FIRST. TECHNOLOGY SHOULD SERVE PEOPLE, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
[01:17:30] HOST: THIS IS FROM THE SAME "WASHINGTON POST" ARTICLE THAT I
[01:17:33] READ EARLIER, IF MY PRODUCER
[01:17:36] WOULD PUT UP A FULL SCREEN, THE GROUP INCOULD YOU BAITED BY THE
[01:17:39] CENTER FOR A.I. SAFETY, A SAN
[01:17:42] FRANCISCO OUTFIT THAT THEY SEEK
[01:17:48] TO MITT LATE GIVING. THE CENTER PROVIDES A LOAN.
[01:17:51] THE A.I. SAFETY CENTER'S INVOLVEMENT HAS PROMPTED
[01:17:55] ACQUISITIONS FROM SOME OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN THE TECH INDUSTRY
[01:17:58] THAT HUMANS FIRST IS LITTLE MORE THAN A FRONT ORGANIZATION.
[01:18:01] THE INVESTOR AND FORMER WHITE HOUSE A.I. CZAR DAVID SACKS, WHO
[01:18:04] YOU MENTIONED EARLIER, QUOTED AN ARTICLE ON X DETAILING THE LINKS
[01:18:08] BETWEEN THE TWO THAT DESCRIBED IT AS A CENSORSHIP POWER PLAY
[01:18:12] DRESSED UP IN SAFETY LANGUAGE.
[01:18:14] WHAT'S YOUR RESPONSE TO THAT?
[01:18:17] GUEST: IT'S JUST ABSURD ON ITS FACE. IT I MEAN, THEY ATTACK YOU WHEN
[01:18:21] THEY CAN'T ARGUE THE ISSUES.
[01:18:22] WE ARE A THREAT TO THEIR POWER,
[01:18:25] BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL THE MONEY. THEY'VE GOT MORE MONEY THAN GOD.
[01:18:28] THEY'VE GOT LOBBYISTS CRAWLING THE CITY.
[01:18:30] THEY HAVE LOBBYISTS ALL ACROSS STATE HOUSES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
[01:18:34] T. BUT THE PEOPLE ARE WITH US. AND THE PEOPLE WANT CONGRESS TO ACT.
[01:18:37] THESE PEOPLE WANT NO REGULATIONS
[01:18:42] WHATSOEVER. DAVID SACKS AND HIS COHORTS WANT NO REGULATIONS WHATSOEVER.
[01:18:46] THAT'S WHY THEY'RE DOING WHAT THEY ARE, TO TRY TO STOP US.
[01:18:48] HOST: I KNOW YOU SAID THAT CONGRESS SHOULD BE ACTING, BUT
[01:18:52] WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE WHITE HOUSE IN THIS SITUATION?
[01:18:55] GUEST: I THINK RIGHT NOW, THE WHITE HOUSE COULD DO AN
[01:19:00] EXECUTIVE ORDER DEMANDING
[01:19:05] MANDATORY PREDEPLOYMENT TESTING.
[01:19:07] BACK IN MAY, THERE WAS A LETTER
[01:19:09] ASKING THE PRESIDENT TO DO AN
[01:19:13] EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRING MANDATORY PREDEPLOYMENT TESTING. I THINK THE WHITE HOUSE COULD DO
[01:19:16] THAT ANYWAY, AND CONGRESS SHOULD
[01:19:20] CODIFY THAT. THAT COULD BE A FIRST STEP.
[01:19:23] HOST: SUE FROM NEW JERSEY SAYS
[01:19:25] THAT AS WITH ANYTHING OF
[01:19:28] MAGNITUDE, IT DEPENDS ON WHOSE HAND IT RESIDES IN.
[01:19:32] THAT'S THE SECUREY PART.
[01:19:34] I'M SURE HEY HAS SOME BENEFIT TO MANKIND AS LONG AS IT'S NOT IN THE WRONG HANDS.
[01:19:38] GUEST: I AGREE. I THINK THERE ARE GOOD THINGS COMING FROM A.I.
[01:19:41] I THINK THERE ARE GOOD THINGS TO COME IN THE FUTURE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BE CONCERNED
[01:19:45] ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES, AND
[01:19:47] THAT IS WHY WE NEED REGULATION
[01:19:50] AND CONGRESS TO GOVERN ON THIS.
[01:19:54] HOST: NANCY SAYS, THEY WANT TO KEEP A.I. IN CHINA UNDER TOTAL
[01:19:58] CONTROL, AND THEY CERTAINLY WANT TO BE THE DOMINANT PLAYER.
[01:20:00] THEY HAVE A HUGE DEBT PROBLEM, THEY CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO
[01:20:04] GET INTO AN A.I. SPENDING BOOM THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER INFRASTRUCTURE AND FINANCIAL
[01:20:08] BLACK HOLE. I MEAN, THE TOP SECURITY -- GUEST: IS SHE TALKING ABOUT
[01:20:11] AMERICA OR CHINA? HOST: I THINK SHE'S TALKING ABOUT CHINA.
[01:20:15] THE TOP CHINESE SPY IN CHINA DID
[01:20:18] HAVE A WARNING ABOUT A.I., SAYING THAT IT THREATENS C.C.P.,
[01:20:23] WHICH IS THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY RULE. I MEAN, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF
[01:20:27] THAT? GUEST: THIS IS THE THING.
[01:20:29] I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT, BUT ALL THESE FOUNDERS COMING OUT NOW
[01:20:32] AND TALKING ABOUT THESE C.E.O.'S
[01:20:34] AND EXECS, THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE LABS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT
[01:20:38] FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. THIS IS NOTHING NEW.
[01:20:41] IT'S JUST THE PUBLIC IS PAYING ATTENTION, AND THE NEWS IS COVERING IT.
[01:20:45] WHEN THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING INSIDE THESE LABS ARE CONCERNED,
[01:20:48] I THINK THAT IS SOMETHING WE OUGHT TO PAY ATTENTION TO.
[01:20:51] THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.
[01:20:54] HOST: DO YOU THINK THAT THE A.I. TECH LEADERS CALLED FOR MORE
[01:20:58] REGULATION, PARTICULARLY AFTER THAT VIRAL TWEET FROM SOMEBODY
[01:21:02] WHO JUST LEFT ANTHROPIC?
[01:21:04] DO YOU THINK THOSE ARE GENUINE?
[01:21:06] GUEST: I MEAN, WE'VE HEARD THEM
[01:21:09] TALK ABOUT THINGS, TALK ABOUT
[01:21:12] THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT TECHNOLOGY BEFORE.
[01:21:14] THEY HAVE SAID THINGS BEFORE. HOST: TECH LEADERS?
[01:21:17] GUEST: YES, THE TECH LEADERS. SO IT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT
[01:21:21] THEY DO, HAVE DONE EVERY DAY OVER THE PAST NUMBER OF YEARS,
[01:21:24] BUT THEY HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT BEFORE.
[01:21:28] SO I DON'T THINK THAT -- I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY GENUINE IN
[01:21:32] THIS. I THINK THEY ARE, LOOK, EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
[01:21:35] EVERYBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
[01:21:39] IT'S A REAL PROBLEM.
[01:21:42] HOST: WHAT OTHER POLICIES -- I
[01:21:46] KNOW YOU SAID THE PRESIDENT
[01:21:47] COULD SIGN AN EXECUTIVE
[01:21:51] ORDER YANKEES COULD CODIFY IT AND THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEP.
[01:21:54] BUT WHAT OTHER LEGISLATION ARE YOU GUYS SUPPORTING OR PUSHING
[01:21:57] THAT EITHER HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED OR YOU KNOW IS BEING WRITTEN AT
[01:22:01] THE MOMENT? GUEST: FIRST OF ALL, I THINK
[01:22:03] THERE SHOULD BE TRANSPARENCY, 100% TRANSPARENCY.
[01:22:06] WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENED, I'M A FORMER FLIGHT ATTENDANT, IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH AN
[01:22:10] AIRLINER, WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT IT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH
[01:22:14] HOSPITALS, WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, WHEN SOMETHING
[01:22:18] HAPPENS WITH OSHA, ALL THE
[01:22:21] INDUSTRIES THAT OSHA REGULATES, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO REPORT IT.
[01:22:25] THERE'S NO REPORTING GUIDELINES WHATSOEVER HERE.
[01:22:27] THE CASES THAT I MENTIONED TO YOU ABOUT THE FLORIDA STATE
[01:22:30] SHOOTING, THE ONE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, KIDS TAKING THEIR OWN
[01:22:33] LIFE, THE ONLY REASON WE KNOW THIS IS BECAUSE OF LAWSUITS FILED.
[01:22:37] THESE COMPANIES CAN TAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY, THEY STAND UP HERE
[01:22:41] AND SCREAM CHINA, CHINA, CHINA,
[01:22:46] AND AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE STILL SELLING OUR CHIPS TOE CHINA.
[01:22:49] WE'RE LOOSENS EXPORT CONTROLS. YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE DATA
[01:22:53] CENTER BUILDOUT, CHINA, THE MAJORITY OF THE DATA CENTER COME
[01:22:56] FROM CHINA, THE LITHIUM BATTERIES COME FROM CHINA.
[01:23:00] WHAT GIVES CHINA LEVERAGE IS WHEN YOU ARE HELL-BENT ON
[01:23:03] BUILDING OUT YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN ORIGINAL FATES IN CHINA?
[01:23:07] THAT'S A BIG PROBLEM.
[01:23:10] THESE COMPANIES CAN GIVE THIS
[01:23:13] TECHNOLOGY TO FOREIGN ENTITIES, FOREIGN BUSINESSES, FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS.
[01:23:17] THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TOE REPORT IT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. HOW CAN THAT BE?
[01:23:21] "FINANCIAL TIMES" IN JULY DID A REPORT THAT OPENAI AND GOOGLE, I
[01:23:24] BELIEVE, THOSE ARE THE TWO, ARE SELLING THEIR FRONTIER A.I.
[01:23:28] MODELS TO CHINESE SUBSIDIARIES
[01:23:35] IN SINGAPORE TO COMPANIES BLACKLISTED BY THE PENTAGON. HOW CAN THAT BE?
[01:23:39] HOW CAN THAT BE? THEY'RE STANDING UP SAYING BUT
[01:23:42] CHINA, BUT CHINA, BUT CHINA. YOU CANNOT BE AMERICA FIRST AND
[01:23:46] CHINA FUNDED AT THE SAME TIME. HOST: WELL, PRESIDENT XI WILL BE AT THE WHITE HOUSE NEXT WEEK.
[01:23:50] THE PRESIDENT SAID HE'S GOING TO HAVE A STATE DINNER FOR HIM. GUEST: WELL, LISTEN, I THINK
[01:23:53] THAT WE NEED A TREATY, JUST LIKE
[01:23:56] WHEN WE GOT NUCLEAR BOMBS, I THINK WE NEED A TREATY, AND I
[01:24:00] THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN LEAD AND GET THAT DONE, AND IT WOULD
[01:24:03] START WITH AMERICA AND CHINA, AND THEN OTHERS COULD COME ON
[01:24:07] BOARD. AND I HOME THAT THE PRESIDENT DOES THAT.
[01:24:10] WE KNOW HE LOVES TO MAKE DEALS,
[01:24:11] AND I HOPE THAT HE WILL TAKE THE
[01:24:14] STEPS TO DO THAT, BECAUSE IT IS
[01:24:18] SOMETHING THAT, LIKE THE PERSON SAID, IF IT GETS IN THE WRONG
[01:24:22] HANDS, THEN WHAT DO YOU DO? HOST: MATT FROM MARYLAND, AN
[01:24:25] INDEPENDENT, GOOD MORNING, MATT. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[01:24:30] THE PRESIDENT HAS SURROUNDED
[01:24:34] HIMSELF WITH TECH BILLIONAIRES,
[01:24:38] INCLUDING ELON MUSK, PETER THIEL
[01:24:41] OWNS THE VICE PRESIDENT, AND THE PRESIDENT IS RECEIVING MONEY
[01:24:44] HAND OVER FIST FROM THE SAME TECH BILLIONAIRES WHO ARE PROMOTING A.I.
[01:24:48] WOULD YOU VIEW IT AS A BETRAYAL
[01:24:51] IF PRESIDENT TRUMP SIDES WITH
[01:24:53] HIS TECH BILLIONAIRE SUPPORTERS
[01:24:56] AND THE EPSTEIN CLASS OVER YOU
[01:24:59] AND YOUR ORGANIZATION AND EFFORTS TO REGULATE A.I.?
[01:25:03] THANK YOU.
[01:25:06] GUEST: WELL, THAT WAS INTERESTING.
[01:25:08] THE EPSTEIN CLASS, I WOULD NOT -- I MEAN, I WOULD NOT
[01:25:12] EQUATE THE TWO. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER HEARD THAT.
[01:25:15] LOOK, THE PRESIDENT, HE WAS
[01:25:17] ELECTED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
[01:25:21] OVERWHELMINGLY. HE'S BEEN A GOOD PRESIDENT. I LOVE THAT HE'S CLOSE WOULD THE
[01:25:24] BORDER, THE THINGS HE'S DONE FOR THIS COUNTRY, OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND WHATNOT.
[01:25:28] THIS WAS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE THAT WAS ON ANYBODY'S MIND TWO YEARS
[01:25:32] AGO WHEN HE RAN.
[01:25:34] AND NOW THE TECHNOLOGY IS MOVING
[01:25:37] SO FAST, AND I THINK HE'S GOING TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE THAT
[01:25:41] ELECTED HIM AS HE GETS OUT THERE ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, AND I
[01:25:44] HOPE HE MODERATES HIS POSITION. I HOPE HE COMES TO OUR SIDE.
[01:25:48] HOST: ALL RIGHT, HUMAN FIRST CHAIR AMY KREMER, THANK YOU SO
[01:25:51] MUCH FOR BEING WITH US THIS MORNING. GUEST: THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

[01:29:06] RIGHT NOW, IT'S OPEN FORUM. CHRISTOPHER FROM HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, A DEMOCRAT.
[01:29:10] GOOD MORNING, CHRISTOPHER.
[01:29:13] CALLER: HELLO. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?
[01:29:16] HOST: I'M DOING WELL. HOW ARE YOU? CALLER: THANK YOU.
[01:29:19] I WAS JUST CALLING ABOUT THAT
[01:29:22] LAST GUEST THAT YOU HAD ON FROM
[01:29:24] THE TEA PARTY THAT WAS WORRIED
[01:29:28] ABOUT A.I.
[01:29:29] 6 I'M MUCH, MUCH MOTHER WORRIED
[01:29:32] ABOUT CLIMATE WARMING THAN I AM ABOUT A.I.
[01:29:36] AND ALTHOUGH I AM A DEMOCRAT, I
[01:29:40] WISH THE DEMOCRATS WOULD ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THE CLIMATE
[01:29:43] CRISIS AND ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT A LOT MORE.
[01:29:45] THEY SEEM TO HAVE ABANDONED THAT
[01:29:49] ENTIRE ISSUE. I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE EVIDENCE. THE EVIDENCE IS OBVIOUS.
[01:29:53] IT'S JUST NOT GOING TO GET COOLER.
[01:29:55] THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
[01:30:02] THE LAST YEAR, IT WAS 1976, AND
[01:30:04] IT'S JUST GOTTEN WARMER AND
[01:30:08] WARMER SINCE. AUGUST WAS THE HOTTEST MONTH EVER, TIED WITH THE HOTTEST
[01:30:11] MONTH EVER, BY FAR THE HOTTEST AUGUST EVER.
[01:30:14] IT'S NOW THE MOST WATER VAPOR IN THE ATMOSPHERE.
[01:30:17] THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO SAY.
[01:30:20] THANK YOU. HOST: THAT WAS CHRISTOPHER FROM MICHIGAN, A DEMOCRAT. WE TALKED ABOUT IT EARLIER, BUT
[01:30:24] WE DIDN'T GET TO READ A LOT ABOUT IT, THE DECISION WRITTEN
[01:30:28] HERE IN "THE WASHINGTON POST"
[01:30:29] ABOUT TRUMP'S E.P.A. ENDING ONE
[01:30:33] OF THE NATION'S
[01:30:39] ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY ON MONDAY REPEALED BIDEN ERA
[01:30:42] RULES TO LIMIT THE CARBON
[01:30:45] DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM POWER
[01:30:48] PLANTS ARGUING IT WILL SAVE CONSUMERS MONEY ON E LEK TRIGS
[01:30:52] TRISTY BILLS WHILE
[01:30:54] ENVIRONMENTALISTS SAY IT WILL
[01:30:56] TAKE A TOLL ON PUBLIC HEALTH.
[01:31:01] THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION'S EPA
[01:31:04] ESTIMATING IT WOULD HAVE SAVED THOUSANDS OF LIVES. POWER PLANTS ARE THE SECOND
[01:31:08] LARGEST SOURCE OF CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.
[01:31:11] THE LIMITS NOW REVERSE TO A
[01:31:14] WEAKER 2015 STANDARD SET UNDER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ALTHOUGH
[01:31:17] THE EPA PROPOSED AN ADDITIONAL
[01:31:20] REGULATION, THAT ONE WOULD
[01:31:22] ELIMINATE ALL PREVIOUS GAS HOUSE
[01:31:25] GAS STANDARDS FOR POWER PLANTS. THAT'S THE LATEST ON THAT.
[01:31:28] RALPH FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA, A REPUBLICAN.
[01:31:31] GOOD MORNING, RALPH.
[01:31:34] CALLER: REPUBLICAN PARTY. GOOD MORNING, THANKS FOR PICKING ME UP.
[01:31:38] THEY HAVE LOST ME.
[01:31:40] I CAN'T POSSIBLY, IN MY RIGHT
[01:31:43] MIND, VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AGAIN. I JUST CAN'T DO IT.
[01:31:47] THEY'VE LOST ME. THEY KEEP SAYING, YOU KNOW, THE
[01:31:50] REAGAN REPUBLICANS, THIS REPUBLICAN.
[01:31:54] IT'S TRUMP'S PARTY NOW.
[01:31:57] I MEAN, THESE PEOPLE STAND IN
[01:32:00] LOCK STEP WITH THIS MANIAC WHO'S
[01:32:04] A CONVICTED CRIMINAL AND THEY'RE
[01:32:10] SUPPORTING HIM AT AN EVENT THAT
[01:32:12] MAKES MY STOMACH TWIST THAT HE'S
[01:32:14] AN ACCUSED PEDOPHILE, CONVICTED
[01:32:18] RAPIST, AND THEY'RE BACKING THIS GUY.
[01:32:21] AND HE'S STILL ON THE BALLOT.
[01:32:24] HE'S TELLING, AND I'M ON THE BALLOT.
[01:32:28] IT'S -- IT'S BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
[01:32:32] IT'S BEYOND COMPREHENSION.
[01:32:35] HOST: RALPH, LET ME ASK YOU.
[01:32:38] AND AGAIN, JUST FROM WHAT YOU
[01:32:43] SAID, THE JURY FOUND TRUMP LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE THERE.
[01:32:47] SO YOU ARE A LIFE-LONG REPUBLICAN SAYING YOU'RE NO

[01:33:05] STOOD BY HIM AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
[01:33:06] NOT SAYING THEY'RE NOT WITH HIM
[01:33:09] THEY'RE JUST NOT WITH HIM IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
[01:33:12] THEY'RE NOT OUTWARDLY COMING AND
[01:33:15] SAYING LOOK WHO THIS MAN IS.
[01:33:18] THEY'RE GOING TO BACK HIM. THEY'RE GOING TO BACK HIS
[01:33:22] CANDIDATES, TALK POSITIVELY ABOUT HIM.
[01:33:25] I CAN'T PUT HIS NAME IN MY MOUTH

[01:34:22] YOU DOING. HOST: I'M DOING WELL HOW ABOUT
[01:34:26] YOU. CALLER: DOING WELL. I LIKE THAT LAST CALLER, THAT
[01:34:29] REPUBLICAN TALKING ABOUT THE SLIMY PERSON IN OFFICE.
[01:34:33] BUT MY QUESTION IS TO THE DEMOCRATS, WHAT PLAN DO WE HAVE
[01:34:37] TO THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO GET
[01:34:41] HIM OUT OF OFFICE BEFORE HE DESTROYS THIS COUNTRY.
[01:34:44] THAT'S MY BIGGEST COUNTRY. THAT'S MY QUESTION.
[01:34:47] HOST: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
[01:34:51] WHAT PLAN DO THE -- CALLER: THE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO
[01:34:55] GET HIM OUT OF OFFICE. HOST: YOU HEARD FROM
[01:34:58] REPRESENTATIVE AL GREEN WHO IS BRINGING UP ARTICLES OF
[01:35:02] IMPEACHMENT, ALTHOUGH THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE OF
[01:35:06] IT. CALLER: HE'S BEEN BRINGING IT
[01:35:08] UP THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND ALL WE DO IS KEEP GOING UP WITH
[01:35:12] FOOD, GAS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
[01:35:14] EVERYTHING IS FAKE NEWS, WHICH IT'S NOT. HOST: DO YOU THINK DEMOCRATS
[01:35:18] AREN'T DOING ENOUGH TO COUNTER THE PRESIDENT?
[01:35:22] CALLER: NOT AT ALL. THEN WE HAVE A BUNCH OF REPUBLICAN FOLLOWERS WHO ALLOW
[01:35:26] HIM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO DO.
[01:35:29] IN MY 60 YEARS OF LIVING I'VE
[01:35:32] NEVER SEEN THE SUPREME COURT WORK AS HARD AS THEY'RE WORKING TODAY.
[01:35:35] AND THEY WORK FOR HIM. HOST: THE SUPREME COURT DID
[01:35:39] JUST REJECT HIS LATEST EFFORTS
[01:35:41] ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
[01:35:46] CALLER: OKAY. THAT'S ONE OF 20 OTHER THINGS
[01:35:49] WHICH YOU'VE ACCEPTED, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

[01:36:04] HOST: I'M DOING WELL, HOW ARE
[01:36:09] YOU? CALLER: I GUESS I JUST REPEAT
[01:36:12] THE CHANT FROM DEMOCRATS, TRUMP BAD, TRUMP BAD.
[01:36:16] ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS IS BAD, BAD, BAD.
[01:36:18] HAVE A GOOD DAY. HOST: THAT'S JIM FROM FLORIDA,
[01:36:21] A REPUBLICAN.
[01:36:24] MARY FROM ASHBURN, VIRGINIA, A
[01:36:28] DEMOCRAT. GOOD MORNING, MARY. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.

[01:36:34] PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION LAST
[01:36:36] MONTH THAT WILL ALLOW DUTY FREE
[01:36:40] IMPORTATION OF ABOUT 660 MILLION
[01:36:43] POUNDS OF INEXPENSIVE BEEF.
[01:36:46] WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROM.
[01:36:49] IF YOU BUY A T-SHIRT --
[01:36:51] HOST: I BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT
[01:36:53] SAID ARGENTINA AS ONE OF THE
[01:36:57] COUNTRIES LAST WEEK. CALLER: IF YOU BUY A T-SHIRT
[01:37:01] FROM GAP, IT WILL HAVE A LABEL
[01:37:03] THAT TELLS YOU WHERE IT WAS MADE.
[01:37:06] THAT'S FEDERAL LAW.
[01:37:08] IT'S TRUE FOR AUTOMOBILES,
[01:37:11] APPLIANCES, TELEVISION SETS,
[01:37:14] FRESH OR FROZEN FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
[01:37:17] BUT THERE'S AN EXCEPTION FOR
[01:37:20] BEEF AND PORK.
[01:37:23] THE CUTS OF MEAT THAT SHALL --
[01:37:27] THAT ARE GOING TO COME IN ARE
[01:37:29] NOT SIRLOIN, RIB EYES AND FILLETS.
[01:37:33] THEY'RE TRIMMINGS THAT WILL BE
[01:37:36] ATTED TO AMERICAN CUTS TO MAKE GROUND BEEF.
[01:37:39] 16 COUNTRIES ARE CURRENTLY
[01:37:42] AUTHORIZED TO EXPORT THESE TO
[01:37:46] THE UNITED STATES.
[01:37:48] IN 2017, THE BRAZILIAN FEDERAL
[01:37:53] POLICE RAIDED 200 MEAT PACKING
[01:37:58] PLANTS AFTER INSPECTORS AND
[01:38:01] POLITICIANS WERE PRESCRIBD
[01:38:05] BRIBED TO ALLOW THE SALE OF
[01:38:07] CONTAMINATED MEAT.
[01:38:10] ROTTEN MEAT WAS TREATED AND SOLD
[01:38:12] TO HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, AND
[01:38:14] EXPORTED IN BRAZIL.
[01:38:23] THE BR BRAZILIAN COMPANY W JBS,
[01:38:29] THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD,
[01:38:31] ADMITTED TO BRIBING INSPECTORS.
[01:38:34] PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MR. BATISTA,
[01:38:38] WHOSE FAMILY CONTROLS JBS HAS
[01:38:42] MET KE WHITE HOUSE AS RECENTLY AS LAST WEEK.
[01:38:46] THE EUROPEAN UNION SUSPENDED
[01:38:49] IMPORTS OF BEEF FROM BRAZIL.
[01:38:53] HOST: MARK FROM CONNECTICUT, A REPUBLICAN. GOOD MORNING, MARK.
[01:38:57] CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[01:39:02] HELLO. HOST: I CAN HEAR YOU. CALLER: I'M JUST CALLING
[01:39:06] BECAUSE I'M HEARING THINGS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT, IMPEACHMENT,
[01:39:09] IMPEACHMENT. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS EVERYONE
[01:39:12] IS TALKING ABOUT GAS PRICES, THE PRICE OF THIS, THAT.
[01:39:15] BUT THEY'RE NOT REALIZING THE
[01:39:17] PRICE INCREASE CAME FROM THE
[01:39:20] PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION WITH THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, EVERYTHING.
[01:39:23] AND THE COST OF HEALTH CARE CAME
[01:39:26] FROM THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
[01:39:30] I'M JUST BAFFLED AND DON'T
[01:39:33] UNDERSTAND HOW EVERYONE IS SO QUICK TO REMEMBER THE GARBAGE WE
[01:39:36] WENT THROUGH THE LAST FOUR YEARS. IT'S INSANE.
[01:39:40] THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
[01:39:42] HOST: DONNA FROM CHICAGO, A DEMOCRAT.
[01:39:44] GOOD MORNING, DONNA. CALLER: DONNA, GOOD MORNING.
[01:39:47] I WANT TO GIVE EVERYBODY A LITTLE BIT OF HOPE.
[01:39:50] YES, WE'RE GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME AT THIS POINT.
[01:39:53] BUT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH WORSE.
[01:39:55] AND WE'VE OVERCOME.
[01:39:58] WE HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE,
[01:40:03] THIS UPCOMING ELECTION, Y'ALL, GOD IS GOING TO SHOW UP AND SHOW
[01:40:08] OUT. BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP.
[01:40:10] WE CAN'T DO IT ALONE.
[01:40:13] WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH WORSE TIME THAN THIS Y'ALL.
[01:40:16] WE GOT TO GET UP SOME THINGS --
[01:40:22] SOME BEANS AND RICE IF YOU DON'T
[01:40:25] TRUST THE MEAT, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WE HAVE TO SURVIVE.
[01:40:28] WE HAVE TO SURVIVE.
[01:40:30] WE USED TO THRIVE, BUT NOW WE'RE JUST SURVIVING.
[01:40:34] AND IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY.
[01:40:35] IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY, Y'ALL.
[01:40:40] THANK YOU. HOST: THAT'S DONNA FROM CHICAGO, A DEMOCRAT.
[01:40:44] ANDY FROM PHOENIX, A REPUBLICAN.
[01:40:46] GOOD MORNING, ANDY. CALLER: GOOD MORNING, JASMINE,
[01:40:50] THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL AND YOUR SCREENER FOR PUTTING ME
[01:40:54] THROUGH. I WANTED TO FIRST JUST ASK YOU
[01:40:58] WAS TRUMP EVER FOUND GUILTY OF
[01:41:04] PEDOPHILIA, I NOTICE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKE THAT ACCUSATION AND
[01:41:07] NOT ONLY YOU DIDN'T CORRECT THAT BUT YOUR HOSTS DON'T.
[01:41:10] I'M TELLING YOU TRUMP -- THAT'S
[01:41:14] ALMOST LIABLE NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO PUSH THAT ON YOUR NETWORK.
[01:41:18] WAS HE EVER FOUND -- HOST: I ACTUALLY DID CORRECT
[01:41:22] HIM, I READ AN AP HEADLINE HERE
[01:41:26] AND THAT IS JURY FINDS TRUMP
[01:41:30] LIABLE. YOUR QUESTION WAS ABOUT PEDOPHILIA, WHICH IS NOT LISTED
[01:41:33] IN THIS ARTICLE.
[01:41:35] SO HE WAS FOUND LIABLE BY A JURY
[01:41:38] FOR SEXUAL ABUSE AND I DID
[01:41:40] CORRECT THAT CALLER.
[01:41:42] CALLER: THAT'S E. JEAN CAROL.
[01:41:46] HOST: YES. CALLER: HE WAS NOT NEVER FOUND
[01:41:49] GUILTY OF PEDOPHILIA, THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO MAKE CLEAR.
[01:41:52] AS FAR AS BEEF PRICES, THEY'VE
[01:41:54] BEEN HIGH FOR QUITE A WHILE AND
[01:41:58] THEY ARE GETTING HIGHER.
[01:41:59] ONE THING I READ AN ABOUT A YEAR
[01:42:02] AGO, WE HAVE A 75 YEAR LOW ON
[01:42:04] CATTLE IN THIS COUNTRY YET OUR
[01:42:07] POPULATION IS PROBABLY DOUBLE
[01:42:11] SINCE 1975 -- OR 75 YEARS AGO.
[01:42:13] I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OUR BEEF
[01:42:15] SUPPLY IS SO LOW BUT THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS.
[01:42:19] AS FAR AS A.I. GOES, WE'VE HEARD
[01:42:21] THE DANGERS OF TECHNOLOGY, BUT
[01:42:24] ARE WE GOING TO LET CHINA BE THE LEADER IN A.I.?
[01:42:28] I JUST -- I THINK IT'S ONE OF
[01:42:30] THOSE THINGS WE CAN'T FALL
[01:42:32] BEHIND THE EIGHT-BALL ON THIS.
[01:42:35] OTHERWISE, OTHER COUNTRIES WILL JUST SURPASS US ON THAT.
[01:42:39] BUT AGAIN, JUST PLEASE CORRECT
[01:42:42] PEOPLE, THEY CAN TALK ABOUT E
[01:42:45] JEAN CAROL AL THEY WANT. BUT HE HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND
[01:42:48] GUILTY OF PEDOPHILIA.
[01:42:50] HE COULD SUE YOU FOR ALLOWING TO
[01:42:53] PUSH THAT PROPAGANDA. HOST: IF I COULD ASK ON THE
[01:42:57] A.I. QUESTION. DO YOU THINK THE U.S. IS
[01:42:59] BALANCING THE NEED FOR -- THE
[01:43:01] NEED FOR INNOVATION WITH SOME OF THESE CONCERNS ABOUT A.I.
[01:43:05] REGULATION OR THE LACK THEREOF?
[01:43:12] CALLER: A NEED FOR RENOVATION WITH A.I.?
[01:43:14] HOST: THE NEED FOR INNOVATION?
[01:43:16] CALLER: OF COURSE WE NEED TO
[01:43:19] NOT ONLY OVER SEE A.I. AND NOT
[01:43:23] LET THEM JUST GO CRAZY, BUT WE
[01:43:26] NEED TO BE INNOVATORS IN ALL TECHNOLOGY.
[01:43:29] WE NEED TO BE THE LEADERS IN THAT INNOVATION.
[01:43:32] IF WE JUST START USING THIS PANIC STUFF, WHICH MAYBE CHINA
[01:43:36] IS PUSHING A PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN
[01:43:38] SO THEY CAN SLOW US DOWN IN OUR
[01:43:43] INNOVATION, RUSSIA, YOU KNOW, TO
[01:43:48] PUT US BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL THAT WOULDN'T BE GOOD FOR THE
[01:43:52] UNITED STATES. WE CAN'T PROCEED FORWARD WITH
[01:43:55] TECHNOLOGY WOULD BE BAD FOR THE UNITED STATES.
[01:43:57] SO OVERSIGHT, SURE.
[01:44:00] BUT YEAH, NOT, WE NEED TO
[01:44:02] INNOVATE AND WE NEED TO BE THE LEADERS IN TECHNOLOGY.
[01:44:06] HOST: THAT'S ANDY FROM PHOENIX,
[01:44:09] A REPUBLICAN. TOM FROM NASHVILLE, AN
[01:44:12] INDEPENDENT. GOOD MORNING, TOM. CALLER: THANKS FOR TAKING MY CALL.
[01:44:16] I WANT TO DEFEND TRUMP A LITTLE BIT. HE PUT TAX THINGS IN THAT HELPED
[01:44:20] OLD PEOPLE LIKE ME, I'M ALMOST
[01:44:22] 80 YEARS OLD, I STILL WORK FOR A
[01:44:25] LIVING AND PAY FOR INCOME TAXES
[01:44:28] HE HELPED ME -- HOST: IN THE ONE BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL.
[01:44:31] CALLER: I THINK WE GOT 6,500 OR
[01:44:35] SOME TYPE OF CREDIT ON OUR INCOME TAX IN 2025, WHICH SAVED
[01:44:38] YOU A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. SOMETIMES I WONDER IF Y'ALL
[01:44:41] DON'T -- I ASKED PEDRO THIS
[01:44:45] BEFORE, ASK PEOPLE HOW MUCH BEFORE THEY START BEATING UP ON
[01:44:49] EVERYBODY AND GRIPING ABOUT
[01:44:52] AMERICA, HOW MUCH THEY HAVE PAID
[01:44:54] IN THE PAST YEAR IN FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
[01:44:57] I GET ABOUT HALF MY SOCIAL
[01:44:59] SECURITY TAXES BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT. I STILL WORK AND PAY TAXES, SO I
[01:45:03] HAVE TO PAY INCOME TAXES BUT
[01:45:05] THESE FOLKS CALL IN WITH WILD IDEAS.
[01:45:09] I HAVE TO GET OFF THE PHONE BECAUSE I GOT TO GO TO WORK.
[01:45:11] I'M TELLING YOU, THEY -- THEY I
[01:45:19] WONDER HOW MUCH THEY HAVE VEST IN THE COUNTRY.
[01:45:22] AN 80-YEAR-OLD MAN LIKE ME STILL PAYING INTO THE SYSTEM AND TRUMP
[01:45:26] DID OKAY IN 2025, 2026, I THINK IT RUNS TO 28.
[01:45:30] THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT IF YOU PAY HEAVY INCOME TAXES.
[01:45:33] YOU FOLLOW WHAT I'M SAYING? THANK YOU FOR THE CALL. HOST: THAT'S TOM FROM
[01:45:37] NASHVILLE. IN JUST 15 MINUTES WE'LL BE LIVE
[01:45:40] ON CSPAN WITH KASH PATEL AT 9:00 A.M. WHEN HE TESTIFIES IN FRONT
[01:45:44] OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY

[01:46:08] DATA CENTER HEARINGS. AND ALSO ATTORNEY GENERAL TODD BLANCHE IS EXPECTED TO HOLD A PRESS BRIEFING IN THE ROSE
[01:46:11] GARDEN ON TUESDAY.

[01:46:16] OFFICIALS HOLDING PRESS BRIEFINGS SINCE THE DEPARTURE OF CAROLINE LEVITT.
[01:46:21] THERE'S A HEADLINE FROM THE
[01:46:23] HILL, THAT IS EXPECTED TO HAPPEN LATER TODAY AND WE WILL BE LIVE
[01:46:27] ON CSPAN NETWORKS SHOWING THAT BRIEFING.
[01:46:30] SONIA FROM SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND, A DEMOCRAT.
[01:46:33] GOOD MORNING, SONIA.
[01:46:40] CALLER: CAN YOU HEAR ME? HOST: SORRY THAT WAS MY FAULT.
[01:46:43] I DIDN'T PRESS IT. HOW IS IT GOING?
[01:46:46] CALLER: I'VE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION TO THE MEETING THAT
[01:46:49] JUST CONCLUDED AND WHAT THEY'RE
[01:46:51] TRYING TO DO, ALL THESE WORLD --
[01:46:56] HOST: THAT'S CHINA, INDIA --
[01:46:59] CALLER: BRAZIL, RUSSIA, INDIA, SOUTH AFRICA.
[01:47:03] SO THEY JUST CONCLUDED THEIR
[01:47:07] MEETING AND WITH THIS
[01:47:09] ADMINISTRATION AND THE TARIFFS
[01:47:11] AND JUST HIS POLICIES, IT JUST
[01:47:14] HAS ACCELERATED THESE COUNTRIES
[01:47:19] AND OTHER COUNTRIES, EUROPEAN
[01:47:20] COUNTRIES, CANADA, FROM --
[01:47:25] DEPENDING ON THE DOLLAR FOR
[01:47:27] TRADE AND FOR JUST TRANSACTIONS IN GENERAL.
[01:47:29] AND IT'S GOING TO WEAKEN THE DOLLAR WHILE WE'RE 40 TRILLION
[01:47:33] DOLLAR IN DEBT. I DON'T THINK ANYONE WAS REALLY
[01:47:36] PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS. IT'S NOT REALLY TALKED ABOUT BUT
[01:47:39] IT'S GOING TO AFFECT US.
[01:47:41] IT'S GOING TO AFFECT US IN THE
[01:47:43] NEXT -- NEXT FIVE YEARS OR LESS. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE IN SERIOUS
[01:47:47] TROUBLE. AND I WISH THERE WAS MORE COVERAGE ON IT.
[01:47:51] HOST: LOOKING AT A BBC ARTICLE
[01:47:53] HERE, THE HEADLINE IS IRAN WAR
[01:47:57] RESHAPES BRIX TIES BUT ALSO EXPOSES DIVISIONS.
[01:48:01] IT SAYS THIS WEEKEND SOME OF THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE IN THE
[01:48:04] WORLD GATHER AROUND A TABLE, THE
[01:48:08] INDIAN PRIME MINISTER ANNOUNCED THAT TOGETHER THE LEASHEDS NEXT
[01:48:11] TO HIM SHOULD BECOME RULE SHAPERS NOT RULE TAKERS.
[01:48:14] AMONG THOSE LISTENING WERE
[01:48:16] MEMBERS OF THE BRICS GROUP,
[01:48:19] INCLUDING CHINA'S PRESIDENT,
[01:48:22] RUSSIA'S PRESIDENT, IRAN'S
[01:48:27] PRESIDENT, ABU DHABI'S CROWN
[01:48:31] PRINCE, AND SOUTH AFRICA'S PRESIDENT.
[01:48:35] THESE ARE HARDLY NATURAL ALLIES,
[01:48:38] THEY HAVE HISTORIES OF BORDER DISPUTES AND MILITARY
[01:48:42] CONFRONTATIONS, INDIA AND CHINA
[01:48:43] ENGAGED IN A DEADLY CLASH IN
[01:48:46] 2020, IRAN AND UAE HAVE BEEN ON
[01:48:49] OPPOSING SIDES OF THE WAR IN THE
[01:48:51] MIDDLE EAST, WITH.
[01:48:57] SO THERE'S AN ARTICLE ON THAT LATEST BRICS MEETING THAT SONIA
[01:49:01] WAS DESCRIBING. MARY FROM BALTIMORE, A REPUBLICAN.
[01:49:04] GOOD MORNING, MARY. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[01:49:08] I'M JUST SO UPSET WITH THE FACT
[01:49:10] THAT TRUMP PROBABLY WILL GO TO
[01:49:14] THE IRAN BECAUSE OF NETANYAHU,
[01:49:19] MY SON WAS IN THE VIETNAM WAR AND HE NEVER RECOVERED.
[01:49:22] HE CAME HOME PHYSICALLY OKAY BUT
[01:49:24] HE WAS MENTALLY MESSED UP.
[01:49:27] AND WE WOULD GO TO THE VA FOR
[01:49:29] APPOINTMENTS AND THEY WOULD GIVE
[01:49:32] HIM ONE APPOINTMENT IN JUNE AND
[01:49:34] ANOTHER ONE IN LIKE DECEMBER.
[01:49:38] HE NEVER GOT WELL AND HE ENDED
[01:49:42] UP STONED OUT ON DRUGS.
[01:49:46] HAVING ANOTHER WAR WITH IRAN AND
[01:49:47] THE GUYS DYING AND COMING BACK
[01:49:50] MESSED UP AND NOT GETTING THE HELP THEY NEED JUST SICKENS ME
[01:49:54] AND I THINK TRUMP NEEDS TO GET A
[01:49:57] BACKBONE AND SAY NO TO
[01:50:02] NETANYAHU. WE DON'T NEED A WAR IN IRAN. I VOTED FOR HIM.
[01:50:05] I WON'T VOTE AGAIN. HOST: JIM FROM PENNSYLVANIA, AN
[01:50:09] INDEPENDENT.
[01:50:10] CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[01:50:17] WE HEARD EARLIER ABOUT AL GREEN
[01:50:19] WANTING TO IMPEACH PRESIDENT TRUMP. THAT'S A DIVERSION.
[01:50:23] WE'RE IN THE SIXTH OF A BIPARTISAN COUP.
[01:50:27] AND BACK IN 2024, THE SUPREME
[01:50:32] COURT SAID THAT TRUMP COMMITTED INSURRECTION.
[01:50:35] NOW, UNDER THE 14TH AMENDMENT,
[01:50:39] THIRD PROVISION, IF YOU COMMIT
[01:50:42] INSURRECTION, YOU HAVE TO GET TWO THIRDS OF CONGRESS TO HOLD
[01:50:45] FEDERAL OFFICE. BACK THEN, THE SUPREME COURT
[01:50:48] OVERRULED THAT, SET ASIDE THE 14TH AMENDMENT, THEREBY AIDING
[01:50:51] AND ABETTING INSURRECTION.
[01:50:54] WE COULD GET RID OF THE SUPREME COURT AND PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDER
[01:50:57] THE 14TH AMENDMENT'S THIRD PROVISION.
[01:51:01] THANK YOU. HOST: THAT WAS JIM FROM PENNSYLVANIA, AN INDEPENDENT.
[01:51:04] WHAT YOU SEE ON YOUR SCREEN HERE IS THE SENATE JUDICIARY HEARING
[01:51:07] MEETING -- EXCUSE ME, HEARING

[01:51:13] FBI DIRECTOR KASH PATEL AT 9:00 A.M., YOU CAN WATCH IT LIVE HERE
[01:51:17] ON CSPAN 3 BUT THAT IS WHAT YOU SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHERS WAITING
[01:51:20] FOR MR. PATEL TO WALK IN AS WELL
[01:51:24] AS SOME OF THE SENATE
[01:51:27] LEADERSHIP, INCLUDING CHUCK
[01:51:30] GRASSLEY WHO CHAIRS THIS COMMITTEE.
[01:51:34] COBERT FROM GEORGIA, A DEMOCRAT. GOOD MORNING. CALLER: YES, MA'AM.
[01:51:37] I HAVE ONE QUESTION.
[01:51:39] IF THE DEMOCRATS WIN ALL THE
[01:51:43] SEATS, WILL TRUMP SWEAR THEM IN?
[01:51:48] HOST: IT WOULD BE HOUSE SPEAKER
[01:51:52] MIKE JOHNSON THAT WOULD BE IN CHARGE OF THAT.
[01:51:55] BUT THAT, OF COURSE, IS THE LAW
[01:51:57] IF YOU WIN, YOU WIN YOUR RACE,
[01:52:00] THEN YOU BECOME SWORN IN.
[01:52:03] CALLER: I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
[01:52:07] HE'LL FIND A WAY AROUND THAT. I JUST HAD THAT QUESTION.
[01:52:11] THANK YOU, SWEET HEART.
[01:52:16] HOST: RUSSELL FROM GEORGIA, A REPUBLICAN.
[01:52:20] GOOD MORNING, RUSSELL.
[01:52:22] CALLER: MORNING. I HAVE A COMMENT ABOUT THE
[01:52:26] $5,000 CHECK THAT EVERYONE IS
[01:52:28] GOING TO GET IF THE HOUSE GOES
[01:52:32] REPUBLICAN.
