| We'll talk it through. | ||
| You got to go and do a two-hour special or longer. | ||
| We'll do it. | ||
| This is the news cycle now, and the Wall Street Journal is a big part of it. | ||
| And Rupert Murdoch is one of the key participants now. | ||
| So we got, and you two guys know the reality. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, sir. | |
| Have a good show, Steve. | ||
| Bowling, am I now like your agent? | ||
| Is this what I've deteriorated to? | ||
| I'm now Bowling's agent, you know, with Bowling. | ||
| Will you take 10%? | ||
| 10% negotiating. | ||
| Negotiating with sick? | ||
| Okay, brother. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Fantastic interview, though. | ||
| If you haven't seen the clip, and I've got it up on Getter, but if you haven't seen it, it's amazing. | ||
| And he's got 17 minutes of that. | ||
| He's going to put it up. | ||
| Really spectacular. | ||
| We've got a cold opening. | ||
| Okay, we're going to have to cut away. | ||
| So here's what we're going to do tonight. | ||
| We got the Artificial Intelligence Summit. | ||
| President Trump is going to be there momentarily to give a speech and also reveal, I think, three executive orders, talk about the AI action plan. | ||
| Brother Alan is going to ride shotgun with me on this. | ||
| However, massive breaking news on the taking down of the deep state, Epstein, all of it. | ||
| We got an 11-minute or nine-minute cold open. | ||
| Let's go ahead and let it rip, and then I'll jump in here at the end. | ||
| Over the past few days, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has unveiled shocking new evidence that former President Barack Obama and top aides in the Obama administration conspired to subvert President Trump's 2016 election victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. | ||
| While publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power, in private, former President Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to try to sow discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump. | ||
| The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence, who is here with me today, confirms that the Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence, which was later used as the justification for baseless smears against President Trump in an effort to try to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office. | ||
| The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia, and the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud perpetuated on the American people from the very beginning. | ||
| And the worst part of this is Obama knew that truth, and so did all of the other corrupt officials involved in this scam, including former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and many others. | ||
| Director of National Intelligence Gabbard's report further confirms what we already knew. | ||
| There was no collusion, no corruption, except on the part of Barack Obama and the weaponized intelligence agencies at the time. | ||
| The Russia hoax was a blatant lie, all ginned up by Democrat political operatives that were signed off on by then President Obama and leaked to the news media to launch a years-long witch hunt against President Trump and his first administration. | ||
| Allies of the president, including his own son, Donald Trump Jr., were disgustingly smeared as Russian assets, and some even had their lives destroyed because of this vicious lie. | ||
| At President Trump's direction and with the support and coordination of the House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, today we've released a declassified oversight majority staff report that was produced in September of 2020. | ||
| The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be of concern to every American. | ||
| This is not about Democrats or Republicans. | ||
| This has to do with the integrity of our Democratic Republic and American voters having faith that the votes cast will count. | ||
| There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false. | ||
| They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. | ||
| It wasn't. | ||
| The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried this out. | ||
| They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. | ||
| They suppressed evidence and credible intelligence that disproved their false claims. | ||
| They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence community standards and withheld the truth from the American people. | ||
| In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people who elected Donald Trump in that election in November of 2016. | ||
| They worked with their partners in the media to promote this lie, ultimately to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump and launching what would be a years-long coup against him and his administration. | ||
| We're here today because the American people deserve the truth, they deserve accountability, and they deserve justice. | ||
| The report goes into great detail about the information that Russia and Putin had on Hillary Clinton, which included possible criminal acts, like secret meetings with multiple named U.S. religious organizations in which State Department officials offered, in exchange for supporting Secretary Clinton's campaign for the presidency, significant increases in financing from the State Department. | ||
| They also had documents that showed the patronage of the State Department to State Department employees who would go and support Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. | ||
| There were high-level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's, quote, psycho-emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness, and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily regimen of heavy tranquilizers. | ||
| Then-CIA Director Brennan and the intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious substandard sources to create a contrived false narrative that Putin developed a quote-unquote clear preference for Trump. | ||
| The implications of this are far-reaching and have to do with the integrity of our Democratic Republic. | ||
| It has to do with an outgoing president taking action to manufacture intelligence to undermine and usurp the will of the American people in that election and launch what would be a years-long coup against the incoming President of the United States, Donald Trump. | ||
| First, on Secretary Rubio, he put out a statement in 2020 following that Senate Intelligence Committee report. | ||
| And he said, What they found is troubling. | ||
| We found irrefutable evidence of Russia meddling, which the Director of National Intelligence just confirmed for all of you that Russia was trying to sow distrust and chaos. | ||
| But what's the outrage in this that Secretary Rubio did not say at the time, the Democrats were saying at the time, is the fact that the intelligence community was concocting this narrative that the president colluded with the Russians, that the president's son was holding secret meetings with the Russians, all of these lies that were never true. | ||
| And he also said at that time, we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI under Comey, particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the steel dossier without verifying its methodology or sourcing. | ||
| The steel dossier that many outlets in this room ran as the gospel truth, and it was cooked up and paid for by the Clinton campaign. | ||
| As for your second question, Caitlin, I think who is saying that, that she would release this to try to boost her standing with the president? | ||
| Who has said that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the president has publicly undermined her when it came to Iran. | |
| He said she was wrong. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He told me that she didn't know what she was talking about. | |
| That was on Air Force One on camera. | ||
| The only people who are suggesting that the Director of National Intelligence would release evidence to try to boost her standing with the president are the people in this room who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president's cabinet. | ||
| And it is not working. | ||
| I will just answer your question directly. | ||
| I am with the President of the United States every day. | ||
| He has the utmost confidence in Director Gabbard. | ||
| He always has. | ||
| He continues to. | ||
| And that is true of his entire cabinet, who is all working as one team to deliver on the promises this president made. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're laughing at us. | |
| The only way we do this is to tell them nothing else happens until we take this on. | ||
| If we don't take down the deep state in this term, it's over. | ||
| This is America's last chance. | ||
| The expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a years-long coup and a treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our republic, and an attempt to undermine President Trump's administration. | ||
| I think this is a huge stress test for Trump and his coalition, which, you know, it's not all of MAGA, but it is Stuart Rhodes, it is Stephen Bannon, it is Michael Flynn, it is a certain significant portion of his base that is animated by this notion that the deep state and the dismantling of the deep state are job number one for Donald Trump. | ||
| It's bigger than any tariff war or any social safety net program or even maybe immigration. | ||
| For them, this is the animating sort of factor in their support for Trump. | ||
| And it's why Stuart Rhodes said Donald Trump's life was spared during the assassination attempts. | ||
| He was here to dismantle this elite cabal and open back up our democracy, right? | ||
| I'm paraphrasing. | ||
| Number one, it's very simple. | ||
| The deep state must be destroyed to free the American people. | ||
| Is there any question about that? | ||
| Is there any question about that? | ||
| We have to destroy the deep state, and this is elements of the Pentagon, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, certain elements that work under DNI of those 17 intelligence agencies, also parts of the State Department, the USAIDs of the world. | ||
| That inner apparatus, inner apparatus controls the government, and when President Trump tries to do something, they're always trying to thwart his actions, right? | ||
| You see the leaks when Holman sent in these brave men and women into Los Angeles to do these raids, like the raid about the children trafficked to the marijuana farm to work, they're lying in wait for him. | ||
| They're lying in wait for the agents. | ||
| They've got weapons to shoot. | ||
| How does the protesters? | ||
| Because somebody inside leaked it to them. | ||
| Somebody inside leaks it to the media. | ||
| That's the deep state every day. | ||
| It must be destroyed. | ||
| We're not free. | ||
| This is their cause, the deep state. | ||
| And Steve Bannon said, look, it's not that he's going to lose. | ||
| It's not that Trump could lose his entire coalition in the course of this Epstein saga. | ||
| It's just that he could lose 10 to 15 percent. | ||
| And that's enough to lose the House and that's enough to lose Congress in 2026 and the presidency in 2028. | ||
| And I think that's real math. | ||
| Wednesday, 23 July Year of the Lord, 2025, another historic day in the briefing room. | ||
| And this is so smart because they're forced to sit there and cover it. | ||
| Caitlin Collins and all those smug people are forced to sit there and hear Tulsi Gabbard. | ||
| And that was a command performance today. | ||
| Her performance has up to now been amazing. | ||
| President Trump, you heard last night. | ||
| We played on this morning show about talking to the members of Congress. | ||
| It was a command performance. | ||
| And she's got command presence. | ||
| She's unflappable. | ||
| And she's just giving you fact after fact after fact. | ||
| And to call it a coup from the White House press briefing room. | ||
| Now we've had it from the Oval Office, from the president and the director of DNI, a treasonous conspiracy, and using and calling out Obama by name, calling out Brennan by name, calling out Comey by name. | ||
| The stakes don't get any higher, folks. | ||
| I hope you understand that this is an Obama denying it, coming out, denying it. | ||
| And all day, you should see the meltdown on MSNBC all afternoon with Weissman and these folks. | ||
| And the Wall Street Journal and the Murdoch, as I have warned for years, are true enemies of this movement, true enemies of MAGA, true enemies of the United States, and particularly true enemies of President Trump. | ||
| The other day, the half-baked story where they dropped it because Tulsi was releasing the first information on Friday to big foot the story with the fake news, phony poem and the phony drawing that they've never shown anybody. | ||
| Today, Tulsi comes for a command performance, and Caroline Levitt, Caroline Levitt looked him right in the eye and said, hey, you guys are good. | ||
| You're paying people that are named in these documents that are guilty of a treasonous conspiracy, right, and a coup against a sitting president. | ||
| And you're paying them as commentators for the last years and just sit there for six or seven years and hammer every day their lies and misrepresentations as she's showing. | ||
| And what does the Wall Street Journal do? | ||
| Immediately after that, they drop another story about President Trump. | ||
| Oh, President Trump, you know, he's got this with that. | ||
| President Trump and Caroline come out right away, say fake news. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal is the enemy. | ||
| They're coming after Trump with half-baked fake news, and they're trying to do it every day to Bigfoot. | ||
| But Tulsi Gabbard's coming out with fact. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short break and listen. | ||
| If the president steps on stage at the artificial intelligence summit, we're going to cut immediately to that and not take any commercial breaks until it's finished. | ||
| Joe Allen's my wingman. | ||
| Three executive orders to be signed today. | ||
| The AI action plan to be going through another. | ||
| It's historic just on that because of how important artificial intelligence and how this audience is totally focused on it. | ||
| Ian Trotier with the new book on John Brennan, an expert in that's with us. | ||
| Colonel Derek Harvey, the guy that knows it all, was there in both the White House and over at the House Intelligence Committee is also with us. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I want to thank Birch Gold for sponsoring this. | ||

| Colonel Deer. | ||
| Okay, just here's the ground rules. | ||
| There's an artificial intelligence summit. | ||
| The action plan that we've been promised has now been promulgated. | ||
| Joe Allen's with me riding shotgun. | ||
| The president is going to take the stage. | ||
| He's going to give some remarks, also sign a couple of executive orders. | ||
| We're going to break all that down. | ||
| Joe Allen's going to join us. | ||
| As soon as that happens, we're going to cut to the stage immediately. | ||
| But right now, we've got a show going. | ||
| Colonel Derek Harvey, you've been in the middle of all this, and you actually know all the details. | ||
| In fact, some of this release today was information that you worked on. | ||
| How powerful is this to have a director of national intelligence in the briefing room of the White House with that beautiful background? | ||
| It says the White House, right? | ||
| On global television, because that feed's going everywhere. | ||
| Sit there and say, coup, this was a coup against Trump, and it's a treasonous conspiracy, sir. | ||
| Very powerful, very influential. | ||
| The powers at Fox, the Senate Intelligence Committee with Mark Warner, the Adam Schiffs, and the media that doesn't want to cover this are going to push back. | ||
| But we have the momentum on our side because we have the facts and we have the truths, and we have courageous leaders like Tulsi and Cash Patel and Bongino and others that are going to help us move this forward. | ||
| But I want to give credit real quick here to Devin Nunes, who not only started with the unmasking and the collection against the transition team and Trump during the election, but he's the one who asked us to put together a small team to look at this intelligence community assessment. | ||
| And the report came out in September, but we could not get it released. | ||
| And talk to me about that. | ||
| What do you mean? | ||
| Why did it have to be released? | ||
| I think this part of it was released today. | ||
| Why was it held up for being released? | ||
| Did Paul Ryan have anything to do with that? | ||
| The Republican establishment? | ||
| I mean, it seemed it was a pretty normal course of business, sir. | ||
| Well, we were allowed to work on the project at CIA headquarters because of the sensitivity of all of the sourcing and the information that was being provided. | ||
| We were looking at everything that was available to that small group that Brennan handpicked to write this damaging report, this false report. | ||
| And we're looking at the tradecraft. | ||
| And he can see that. | ||
| Derek, Derek, hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to cut live to the stage. | ||
| President's coming on. | ||
| I'm going to get back to you guys as soon as he's off. | ||
| Let's go and go live to the Artificial Intelligence Summit. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I gladly stand up next to you And if they're cursed in today Because there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA applause Thank you very much, everybody. | |
| What a great song that is, but we'll cut it a little short because we have some business to discuss. | ||
| And what a group of smart ones we have in front of me today. | ||
| It's about as good as the comes up here. | ||
| The brain power, the greatest power of them all, the brain power. | ||
| Well, I'm thrilled to be here with so many tech leaders and luminaries as we take historic action to Reassert the future which belongs to America, always has belonged to America. | ||
| We just lost sight of it on occasion. | ||
| And I just want to start by stating that we've just concluded our big trade deal with Japan and numerous other countries in addition, as you know. | ||
| But on the Japan deal, because it was literally just signed, letter, was just signed, it gives us a sort of signing bonus. | ||
| I'll bring it into sports talk, a signing bonus. | ||
| Like you have signing bonuses too, I understand. | ||
| Getting a lot of money, 100 million, that's not bad. | ||
| But that's not as good as the signing bonus we got. | ||
| We got a $550 billion signing bonus for the country. | ||
| We had the tariff at 25%. | ||
| As you know, we had a tariff at 25%. | ||
| And these are great people that we negotiated with. | ||
| But we agreed to reduce it to 15 based on the fact that Japan has agreed for the first time ever to open up its country to trade so that all of our American businesses and business geniuses, including many in this room, can go out and do business openly and freely in Japan, a very rich and prosperous and profitable and wonderful country, frankly. | ||
| And we will pay a zero tariff as we do business in Japan. | ||
| So we're paying zero, they're paying 15, we're getting $550 billion. | ||
| And to be exact, it's 90% of that, but we control the whole lot of it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it's really been great. | |
| And they're very happy, and their stock market went up, and our soccer market went up, and that's supposed to be the way it is. | ||
| Ours went way up, and theirs went up. | ||
| And we've made numerous other deals like that. | ||
| But the opening up of a country is very important to us. | ||
| We have numerous countries that have opened their doors, just made some incredible transactions. | ||
| But we're going to have a very, very simple tariff for some of the countries. | ||
| We have so many countries you can't negotiate deals with everyone. | ||
| So we'll have a straight, simple tariff of anywhere between 15 and 50 percent. | ||
| A couple of we have 15 because we haven't been getting along with those countries too well. | ||
| So we just say, let's pay 50. | ||
| And that's the way it is. | ||
| But remember, we get countries that were closed, always closed. | ||
| Everyone in this room would never remember any of them to be open. | ||
| We've offered such a deal to the European Union where we're in serious negotiations. | ||
| And if they agree to open up the Union to American businesses, then we will let them pay a lower tariff. | ||
| So the tariff is very important, but the opening of a country, I think, can be more important if our businesses do the job that they're supposed to be doing. | ||
| Such openings are worthy of many points in tariffs, and they're a good thing not only for, as an example, Japan or Europe, but certainly a great thing for America because it allows our businesses to go out and fairly compete and do really well if they compete properly like the people that I know. | ||
| Everyone in this room practically I know has competed very successfully. | ||
| I haven't seen any, and I know the losers just like I know the winners. | ||
| I don't see any of the losers here. | ||
| But now if some of the countries that pay 25% or more on autos complain, remember that Japan was willing to pay upfront the $550 billion for that privilege of negotiating with the United States of America. | ||
| We also made a deal yesterday with the Philippines and Indonesia, which in both cases will be opening up their country. | ||
| And we're in the process of completing our deal with China. | ||
| And as you know, the UK, we made a deal. | ||
| It was a very good deal for everybody. | ||
| Everybody's happy. | ||
| It's always nice when everybody can be happy. | ||
| But mostly we'll be charging straight tariffs to most of the rest of the world because we have over 200 countries. | ||
| People don't realize that's a lot of deals. | ||
| Even if you're like me, a deal junkie, that's a lot of deals. | ||
| That would be too much for anybody. | ||
| How did we do with this country that I never heard of? | ||
| We got a lot of deals cooking, but America is taking in hundreds of billions of dollars like it never has before. | ||
| Investments into our country at the highest point ever in history, and we've just really been opened up for business for three of the six months. | ||
| The first couple of months, we got ourselves all set, done a great job with our military, as you know. | ||
| You saw that two weeks ago when you saw the way those incredible B-2s flew into Iran and took out an entire nuclear potential deadly force. | ||
| But I want to thank some of the incredible people that I see before me, including White House AI Czar David Sachs. | ||
| He's been great for organizing this very important summit and especially for putting it in DC where it's a little bit easier. | ||
| I don't know if it's easy for you, but it's a hell of a lot easier for me. | ||
| Along with his colleagues at the All-In podcast, which is very good. | ||
| I did that podcast a year and a half ago and I said, this is something that was pretty new, pretty raw. | ||
| Everybody I knew saw that podcast. | ||
| I said, well, he's got something pretty good. | ||
| Who is that guy? | ||
| He's a smart guy, by the way. | ||
| I think if I ever get in, which at the time people were saying I had a shot, not as good a shot, as it turned out, we won in numbers that nobody believes. | ||
| We won every swing state. | ||
| We won by millions and millions of votes, Winning the popular vote. | ||
| We won with the districts, as they would call them, 2,750 to 505. | ||
| And that's why the map is almost completely red, except for a couple of little blue areas on each side of it. | ||
| But it was a great experience, frankly, for me. | ||
| And hopefully it's a great experience and been a great experience for our country because they're saying we had the greatest six months that a president has ever had, the opening six months. | ||
| And I'm not even sure, maybe six months. | ||
| I'm not sure it's the opening, but let's call it the opening six months. | ||
| It sounds a little bit nicer. | ||
| I want to also say hello and thank to Jamath and his wonderful wife, Nat. | ||
| Thank you very much for being here. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| It was great seeing you again. | ||
| Great couple. | ||
| David Friedberg and even, as we know, Jason Calakanis. | ||
| I say even. | ||
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| Thank you, Jason. | ||
| I appreciate that. | ||
| That is a good person. | ||
| Thanks as well to the Hill and Valley Forum and our future Under Secretary of State, Jacob Pellberg. | ||
| Good job, good. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Stand up, Jason. | |
| I met him a year and a half ago and I was very impressed. | ||
| I said, let's bring him in. | ||
| We bring in a lot of smart people. | ||
| And David's been unbelievable as the job he's doing. | ||
| Along with Secretaries Doug Bergham, who's been incredible. | ||
| Doug? | ||
| Thank you, Beck. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| He's producing low-cost energy. | ||
| We're down to $64. | ||
| I want to get it down a little bit further if we can. | ||
| I don't know if the oil companies love that or not, but we want to have very inexpensive electricity so that you can power up the plants because you need more electricity than any human beings ever in the history of the world. | ||
| When I heard what you really need, I said, you've got to be kidding. | ||
| Double what we produce right now for everything, right? | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Jensen, you're going to have to explain that to me someday, why they need so damn much. | ||
| Could you do with a little bit less? | ||
| My father always used to say, turn off the lights, son. | ||
| But you guys are turning up the lights. | ||
| I want to thank Howard Luttnick for doing a terrific job. | ||
| He was involved in the big deal that we just completed with Japan, Howard, wherever you are, Howard. | ||
| Where is Howard? | ||
| Hi, Howard. | ||
| Great job you did. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Really, that was an interesting negotiation, wasn't it? | ||
| These are tough people. | ||
| These are good negotiators, I will tell you, Japan. | ||
| But they love their country and they do what's right for their country. | ||
| I want to thank Chris Wright. | ||
| If Chris is around, Chris is here because he's helping with the tremendous energy success that we're having. | ||
| We're having tremendous energy success. | ||
| We're the biggest, we have more energy than anybody else in the world. | ||
| Nobody knew that until I came along, but we have more energy than anybody else in the world. | ||
| We're making incredible deals on energy, including deals in Alaska. | ||
| That's the mother load, that's the big one. | ||
| And we're making deals with various Asian countries that need it. | ||
| And it's actually hard to believe you don't think of it, but Asia is very close to Alaska, relatively speaking. | ||
| It's not the closest, but it is pretty much the closest when it comes to oil and gas and energy. | ||
| And we're making some incredible deals. | ||
| And I want to thank Chris. | ||
| Chris's fantastic works in partnership really with this gentleman who's the head of all of, you've got the land and he's got the energy, right? | ||
| But you really, they formed a great partnership, Doug. | ||
| So that's one of the greatest partnerships I've seen in a long time. | ||
| They work hand in hand and they have done a great job. | ||
| Administrators, Kelly Loeffler, I think, is here. | ||
| Kelly, thank you very much. | ||
| Hi, Kelly. | ||
| Thank you, Kelly. | ||
| And probably the most important man in the room, and I say it in all sincerity, more important than Doug and Chris and all that energy they're producing. | ||
| He's a man that produces fast permits on the environmental impact statements. | ||
| He gets them done. | ||
| I said, Lee, you have one week, one week for nuclear, and you have a couple of days for oil and gas, okay, for the approvals. | ||
| And we kid, but you know, he really is. | ||
| He's knocking them out fast. | ||
| He's knocked out a lot. | ||
| A lot of you guys have started your plants already, and you've already had your approvals. | ||
| So where's Lee Zeldon? | ||
| Is he here? | ||
| He is so great. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This guy, he is so great. | |
| That's why he has a slightly better seat than I gave to Doug. | ||
| You see? | ||
| He's doing a fantastic job in a lot of ways, but he's doing a great job. | ||
| And he's getting fast permits and safe and good and everything else, but he's moving them along rapidly, already given some. | ||
| And, you know, one of the most exciting things we'll talk about in a second is the fact that you're going to build your own electric producing plants when you build whatever you're building. | ||
| And it could be, it's different things, including automobile factories, which are going up all over the place. | ||
| You'll see them starting soon. | ||
| They're moving into our country because of the tariffs, because they don't want to pay the tariffs. | ||
| They're moving into our country at a record speed. | ||
| But the ability to build your own electric plant, not having to rely on a 100-year-plus old grid. | ||
| And then if you have electric capacity extra, you're going to sell it into the grid, make some money, but you'll sell it right back into the grid. | ||

Michael, thank you very much. | |
| Thank you, Michael. | ||
| As well, it's supposed to be taking a vote right now. | ||
| Big vote, Senator Ted Cruz. | ||
| Is Senator Cruz here? | ||
| Oh, look at my senator. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Why aren't you voting? | |
| I think we lost David McCormick, who's voting. | ||
| So why aren't, is David here? | ||
| Because you're supposed to be voting, Ted. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I'll tell you what, this man works hard. | ||
| Ted works hard, and he works good. | ||
| And a very special thanks to some of the Top industry leaders here, including somebody that's amazing. | ||
| I said, Look, we'll break this guy up. | ||
| This is before I learned the facts of life. | ||
| I said, We'll break him up. | ||
| They said, No, sir, he's very hard. | ||
| I said, Why? | ||
| I said, What percentages of the market does he have? | ||
| Sir, he has 100%. | ||
| I said, Who the hell is he? | ||
| What's his name? | ||
| His name is Jensen Wong, Navidia. | ||
| I said, What the hell is Navidia? | ||
| I'd never heard of it before. | ||
| He said, You don't want to know about it, sir. | ||
| I figured we could go in and we could sort of break him up a little bit, get him a little competition. | ||
| And I found out it's not easy in that business. | ||
| I said, supposing we put the greatest minds together and they work hand in hand for a couple of years. | ||
| He said, no, it would take at least 10 years to catch him if he ran NVIDIA totally incompetently from now on. | ||
| So I said, all right, let's go on to the next one. | ||
| And then I got to know Jensen, and now I see why Jensen, will you stand up? | ||
| What a job. | ||
| What a job you've done. | ||
| Man. | ||

Great. | |
| It's a great, he's a great guy, too. | ||

Lisa? | |
| Thank you. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| Sham Senekar of Palantir, we buy a lot of things from Palantir. | ||
| Where are you? | ||
| Are we paying our bills? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| We just made a deal with the European Union where they're going to pay the United States of America 100% of the cost of all military equipment. | ||
| They're going to ship it to the European Union and then they'll distribute it, and much of it will go to Ukraine. | ||
| It's been a long time since you've heard those words, because we're in for $350 billion, but now we send it to Europe, and Europe pays. | ||
| They were great. | ||
| We had a tremendous NATO meeting a few weeks ago, and it was pretty amazing, actually, what happened. | ||
| They agreed to go from 2% to 5%. | ||
| And they had 2% where they didn't pay. | ||
| They had 5% where they've already paid. | ||
| That's a big difference. | ||
| That's trillions of dollars, actually, trillions. | ||
| But they're going to spend that money in the United States with our defense companies, and we're going to send it to them, and they'll distribute the equipment that we send. | ||
| So that's the way it should have been three years ago, frankly. | ||
| And Jeff Sprecker, the other half of that incredible family, is he here? | ||
| Is he here? | ||
| He's a fantastic guy, international, intercontinental exchange, and he's been a friend of mine for a long time, the husband of Kelly, who's really doing a good job. | ||
| You are really doing a good job. | ||
| Small business, which is actually big business, if you add it all up, right? | ||
| Probably the biggest bank there is. | ||
| But they call it small business, and she's done a fantastic job. | ||
| Thanks, Kelly. | ||
| Say hello to Jeff. | ||
| As we gather this afternoon, we're still in the earliest days of one of the most important technological revolutions in the history of the world. | ||
| Around the globe, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence. | ||
| I find that too artificial. | ||
| I can't stand it. | ||
| I don't even like the name. | ||
| You know, I don't like anything that's artificial. | ||
| So could we straighten that out, please? | ||
| We should change the name. | ||
| I actually mean that. | ||
| I don't like the name artificial anything, because it's not artificial. | ||
| It's genius. | ||
| It's pure genius. | ||
| And its potential to transform every type of human endeavor and domain of human knowledge from medicine to manufacturing to warfare and national defense. | ||
| Whether we like it or not, we're suddenly engaged in a fast-paced competition to build and define this groundbreaking technology that will determine so much about the future of civilization itself because of the genius and creativity of Silicon Valley. | ||
| And it is incredible, incredible genius. | ||
| Without question, the most brilliant place anywhere on earth. | ||
| America is the country that started the AI race. | ||
| And as President of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it. | ||
| We're going to work hard. | ||
| we're going to win it. | ||
| Because we will not allow any foreign nation to beat us. | ||
| Our children will not live on a planet controlled by the algorithms of the adversaries advancing values and interests contrary to our own. | ||
| We don't want to have contrary interests. | ||
| We want to get along, and we'll get along with other countries. | ||
| We're having a great relationship, as I told you, with those countries that we mentioned, with Japan and Indonesia and so many others. | ||
| The European Union, we're getting along. | ||
| We're getting along very well with China. | ||
| A lot of respect for President Xi. | ||
| We have a great relationship and we'll see how it all works out. | ||
| But we're getting along with countries very, it's really been pretty amazing, I will say that, and it's a good thing. | ||
| It's a good thing, not a bad thing. | ||
| So from this day forward, it'll be a policy of the United States to do whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence. | ||
| Such an important thing happening. | ||
| This is really something that nobody expected. | ||
| It just popped out of the air, and here we are. | ||
| But we will defend our nation, our values, our future, and our freedom. | ||
| And it will be really great. | ||
| But what we really need to be successful is a very simple phrase called common sense. | ||
| And that begins with a common sense application of artificial and intellectual property rules. | ||
| It's so important. | ||
| You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for. | ||
| Gee, I read a book. | ||
| I'm supposed to pay somebody. | ||
| And, you know, we appreciate that, but you just can't do it because it's not doable. | ||
| And if you're going to try and do that, you're not going to have a successful program. | ||
| I think most of the people in the room know what I mean. | ||
| When a person reads a book or an article, you've gained great knowledge. | ||
| That does not mean that you're violating copyright laws or have to make deals with every content provider. | ||
| And that's a big thing that you're working on right now, I know, but you just can't do it. | ||
| China's not doing it. | ||
| And if you're going to be beating China, and right now we're leading China very substantially in AI, very, very substantially, and nobody's seen the amount of work that's going to be bursting upon the scene. | ||
| But you have to be able to play by the same set of rules. | ||
| So when you have something, when you read something, and when it goes into this vast intelligence machine, we'll call it, you cannot expect to every time, every single time, say, oh, let's pay this one that much, let's pay this one. | ||
| It just doesn't work that way. | ||
| Of course, you can't copy or plagiarize an article, but if you read an article and learn from it, we have to allow AI to use that pool of knowledge without going through the complexity of contract negotiations of which there would be thousands for every time we use AI. | ||
| We also have to have a single federal standard, not 50 different states regulating this industry of the future. | ||
| And some people would say, gee, that's an unpopular thing to say. | ||
| I was told before I got up here, this is an unpopular thing because some people, they don't want that. | ||
| But I want you to be successful. | ||
| And you can't have one state holding you up. | ||
| You can't have three or four states holding you up. | ||
| You can't have a state with standards that are so high that it's going to hold you up. | ||
| You have to have a federal rule and regulation. | ||
| Hopefully you'll have the right guy in this position that's going to supplant the states. | ||
| If you are operating under 50 different sets of state laws, the most restrictive state of all will be the one that rules. | ||
| So you could have a state run by a crazy governor, a governor that hates you, a governor that's not smart, or maybe a governor that's very smart, but decides that he doesn't like the industry and he can put you out of business because you're going to have to go to that lowest common denominator. | ||
| We need one common sense federal standard that supersedes all states, supersedes everybody, so you don't end up in litigation with 43 states at one time. | ||
| You've got to go litigation free. | ||
| It's the only way. | ||
| And we also have to watch Europe, Asia, and all foreign countries so that they don't make rules and regulations that likewise make it impossible for you to do business and where you'd have to make everything in AI cater to them because again, you'd have to cater to the toughest country or to the toughest state. | ||
| You can't do that because it would ruin it. | ||
| I just terminated all of the, as an example, California car emissions rules, which were a disaster, a disaster. | ||
| It cost them just billions of dollars as an industry, but thousands of dollars per car, the emission rule standard, because they were making the production of an automobile almost impossible and at a tremendously higher cost, much more expensive than it should cost, for very little gain, for actually, in my opinion, negative gain. | ||
| The automobile was worse. | ||
| Under this administration, our innovation will be unmatched and our capabilities will be unrivaled. | ||
| And with the help of many of the people in this room, America's ultimate triumph will be absolutely unstoppable. | ||
| We will be unstoppable as a nation. | ||
| Again, we're way ahead and we want to stay that way. | ||
| We can't let individual smaller units stop it because that's the only thing that can stop it and can really mess it up. | ||
| As with any such breakthrough, this technology brings the potential for bad as well as for good, for peril as well as for progress. | ||
| But the daunting power of AI is the, really it's not going to be a reason for retreat from this new frontier. | ||
| On the contrary, it is the more reason we must ensure it is pioneered first and best. | ||
| We have to have the best, the first pioneer. | ||
| We are the best and the first pioneers, and we're going to be really putting a nation that we love, America. | ||
| We're going to be putting it first. | ||
| I have an expression, America first, make America great again. | ||
| A lot of great expressions, but they're all so true. | ||
| Make America great again. | ||
| We're going to make this industry absolutely the top because right now it's a beautiful baby that's born. | ||
| We have to grow that baby and let that baby thrive. | ||
| We can't stop it. | ||
| We can't stop it with politics. | ||
| We can't stop it with foolish rules and even stupid rules. | ||
| At the same time, we want to have rules, but they have to be smart. | ||
| They have to be brilliant. | ||
| They have to be more brilliant than even the technology itself. | ||
| Surely there will be challenges on the path ahead, but together we will meet them and transcend them all. | ||
| We are Americans and we are Americans first. | ||
| I have a couple of people I know that don't happen to be from here, but I wish you a lot of luck anyway. | ||
| I was looking at three people that are not Americans, but very good people. | ||
| Please treat them nicely. | ||
| But we do not shrink from the future or cower in the face of uncertainty. | ||
| We dominate the future. | ||
| We conquer new frontiers and we control our own fate. | ||
| And we determine, by doing that, our own destiny. | ||
| Winning this competition will be a test of our capacities unlike anything since the dawn of the space age. | ||
| I believe that. | ||
| It's hard to believe as the president, the amount of enthusiasm for this one industry. | ||
| I mean, I can talk about cars where we're doing incredibly well. | ||
| We have car companies moving in all the time. | ||
| But I talk about other industries. | ||
| Everybody's saying this is going to dominate the world. | ||
| They're going to dominate every industry that ever conceived. | ||
| I don't know if that's true. | ||
| I don't know if it's true. | ||
| But I can tell you that a lot of very brilliant people think it is true. | ||
| It'll dominate everything. | ||
| It will challenge us to marshal all of our strength and flex the muscles of American ingenuity and resolve like probably never before. | ||
| It will require us to blast through obsolete systems, cut through thickets of regulation. | ||
| We've got to get rid of some of the regulation, but we want good regulation and rebuild the industrial bedrock of our country. | ||
| And perhaps most importantly, winning the AI race will demand a new spirit of patriotism and national loyalty in Silicon Valley and long beyond Silicon Valley. | ||

Thank you. | |
| For too long, much of our tech industry pursued a radical globalism that left millions of Americans feeling distrustful and betrayed. | ||
| And you know that, everybody knows that, everybody in this room certainly does. | ||
| Many of our largest tech companies have reaped the blessings of American freedom while building their factories in China, hiring workers in India, and slashing profits in Ireland. | ||
| You know that? | ||
| All the while dismissing and even censoring their fellow citizens right here at home. | ||
| Under President Trump, those days are over. | ||
| We need U.S. technology companies to be all in for America. | ||
| We want you to put America first. | ||
| You have to do that. | ||
| That's all we ask. | ||
| That's all we ask. | ||
| To partner with our tech geniuses in achieving this vision today, we're releasing the White House AI Action Plan. | ||
| Big stuff. | ||
| Signing it right after this. | ||
| In fact, I see it sitting right there. | ||
| Maybe I should just sign it right now. | ||
|

|
Who the hell has to make the rest of this speech, right? | |
| But here are the pillars of the strategy. | ||
| First, my administration will use every tool at our disposal to ensure that the United States can build and maintain the largest, most powerful, and most advanced AI infrastructure anywhere on the planet. | ||
| America needs new data centers, new semiconductor and chip manufacturing facilities, new power plants and transmission lines. | ||
| And under my leadership, we're going to get that job done, and it's going to be done with certainty and with environmental protection and all of the things that we have to do to get it done properly. | ||
| Virtually all of these large capital investments can be and should be made by the private sector. | ||
| And they want to do that. | ||
| They just want to be able to do it. | ||
| But for that reason, America must once again be a country where innovators are rewarded with a green light, not strangled with red tape so they can't move, so they can't breathe. | ||
| And that's not going to happen. | ||
| You're going to see things that you've never seen in this country before. | ||
| So often, and I've been watching for many years, I've watched regulation. | ||
| I've been a victim of regulation, a zone change that takes six years for a building in Manhattan or whatever. | ||
| But I was good at zone changes, but it took a long time. | ||
| By the time you got the zoning, the market changed. | ||
| You didn't want to build the building. | ||
| You say, well, but in some cases, that made you lucky, didn't it? | ||
| Not too many people understand that in this room, but in some cases, waiting for that approval as the market collapsed was a good thing, not a bad thing. | ||
| But it's time to reclaim our heritage as a nation of builders, and that's why, upon taking office, I signed a historic executive order directing that every one, and this is so important, for every new regulation, 10 old regulations must be immediately eliminated. | ||
| So we have old regulations that clog up the books that don't even mean anything anymore. | ||
| You know, in my first term, I had more regulation cuts than any president in history times four, and that included two-term presidents, where you're talking about eight years. | ||
| We had more than any other president, and I think we may even top it this year. | ||
| We may very well be able to top it during this period of time because you're really, you are a regulation-prone group, and we're looking to get those regulations out of your way so you can use your genius. | ||
| Earlier this month, we also enacted the largest tax cuts in American history when I signed the one big, beautiful bill into law. | ||
| And I think the most important thing in the whole tax cut in terms of pure economics, and I think one of the reasons that my first, you know, we had the most successful economy in history during my first term, and I think this is going to blow it away. | ||
| So far it is, and I think this is going to blow it away. | ||
| But the reason we had was I had expensing at 100%. | ||
| And what we did is we included 100% in this bill expensing for all capital expenditures, including investments in factories and equipment and structure. | ||
| Structure wasn't included last time. | ||
| So even structure. | ||
| And you're able to write it all off immediately. | ||
| That's the biggest thing. | ||
| Not 38 years, not 42 years. | ||
| You're able to write it all off immediately. | ||
| And this time, we've made it for 10 years, not for one year. | ||
| We've made it for 10 years. | ||
| So you have a much longer period. | ||
| But I'd say get out and take advantage of it. | ||
| I think that's one of the reasons that we had such an incredible success with the first tax cuts. | ||
| And one of the things that this bill does is it extends the first tax cuts and makes them permanent. | ||
| And in addition to that, we were granted other taxes like no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime, a lot of great things. | ||
| One of the things that I mentioned, not so pertinent here, but if you're in the automobile business, it's pertinent. | ||
| I said, why is it that people like us always are looking for expenses and deductions? | ||
| And people that buy automobiles that really have to go out and borrow money to buy a car, why aren't they allowed to deduct the interest on their loan to buy a car from their income tax? | ||
| And we got it approved. | ||
| We got it approved. | ||
| And that is such a big thing. | ||
| And I think that's going to be such a big thing for the automobile industry. | ||
| We're going to be making more cars. | ||
| Within a few years, we're going to be making more cars than we made in the very beginning, in the super prime. | ||
| You know, we lost almost 50% of our automobile business to Mexico, Canada, and various other places, as you know, in Europe and in Asia. | ||
| And now we're getting It back. | ||
| We're getting it back in record numbers. | ||
| And I think we're going to be topping any amount. | ||
| In a few years, we'll be making more automobiles than we've ever made in the history of our country, including what I call prime time. | ||
| My administration is also pursuing a future of all-out American energy dominance. | ||
| And on day one, I terminated the Green New Scam. | ||
| You know what that was? | ||
| You were all victims to it. | ||
| Perhaps the second or third greatest scam in the history of our country. | ||
| I would say the first was Russia, Russia, Russia. | ||
| And we had a couple of others, too. | ||
| But the Green New scam was one of the greatest. | ||
| It's so ridiculous, what they've made you do, the carbon footprint. | ||
| They talked about the carbon footprint, and then Obama hops onto a 747 Air Force One and flies to Hawaii to play a round of golf and comes back. | ||
| What about the carbon footprint? | ||
| No, we didn't like that. | ||
| And what Biden has done is absolutely terrible. | ||
| He made it impossible, almost impossible for people to do business. | ||
| Not even talking about the border, where millions and millions of people float into our country, many from prisons, from jails, from gangs, from mental institutions all over the world. | ||
| No, we're not doing that. | ||
| We have to get them out. | ||
| We've got 11,888 murderers. | ||
| Many of them committed more than one murder. | ||
| Many of them, more than 50% committed more murders. | ||
| We're getting them out of our country, or in some cases, they're so bad, we're not getting them out. | ||
| We're having to lock them up because we don't want them ever to come back no matter how good we're doing. | ||
| You know, last month, you probably read, we had zero people enter our country illegally. | ||
| And over the last number of years, you'd have hundreds of thousands, literally hundreds of thousands of people a week pour into our country, totally unvetted and unchecked. | ||
| And what the hell were they thinking? | ||
| What they've done to our country is so sad, and we can never forget it. | ||
| But we're unleashing all forms of energy, including natural gas, oil, and clean, beautiful coal. | ||
| I instructed my people, in the form of Chris and Doug, in particular, you are not allowed to say the word coal without saying clean, beautiful in front of it. | ||
| You can only say clean, beautiful coal. | ||
| It's a little embarrassing because we had somebody making a speech the other day, right? | ||
| And he mentioned the word coal about 30 times because that was the subject. | ||
| And he kept going clean, beautiful. | ||
| I wanted to say, okay, just take it easy. | ||
| You could just... | ||
| But it's, you know, China's using it. | ||
| They're building now 57 big power plants all fueled by coal. | ||
| And we have to compete. | ||
| We have to win. | ||
| And we're going to have clean, beautiful coal. | ||
| But we have more coal than any. | ||
| We have more anything in terms of energy than anybody, oil and gas. | ||
| We also have more coal. | ||
| In May, I also signed an executive order to rapidly begin construction of safe, reliable nuclear reactors. | ||
| That's a big thing now. | ||
| And many of you are going to be using nuclear. | ||
| You know, I had problems with nuclear. | ||
| I saw some of the things, but what they've done with nuclear is like what you've done with AI and other things. | ||
| It's incredible, actually. | ||
| It's long-term. | ||
| It's inexpensive. | ||
| It's just, it's safe. | ||
| What they've done is really amazing. | ||
| So we opened up the industry. | ||
| Very strict rules, but we opened up the industry. | ||
| And some of you are going to choose nuclear over oil and gas or whatever it might be. | ||
| Under the last year of Biden, China added 11 times as much power generation capacity as did the United States. | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| 11 times. | ||
| Under the Trump administration, we will be saying those very famous campaign words, drill, baby, drill, and build, baby, build. | ||
| And we will be adding at least as much electric capacity as China. | ||
| We think we're going to catch them and maybe even have something a little bit extra. | ||
| They're going very rapidly, but so are we. | ||
| And we'll be doing at least as much, and every company will be given the right to build their own power plant. | ||
| So when you build, you can build your power plant with it. | ||
| And you are essentially going to become your own utility. | ||
| It's a utility to yourselves. | ||
| And as I said, any excess energy, you're going to sell back to the grid and make plenty of money doing it. | ||
| As a result of these pro-American policies since my election, we're seeing trillions and trillions of dollars in new investments. | ||
| So at this moment, we have almost $17 trillion coming into this country. | ||
| There's never been a period of time like that. | ||
| And that's in a period of a few months. | ||
| In a few months, Meta, Amazon, Google, Google, Microsoft are all investing $320 billion or more in data centers and AI infrastructure this year. | ||
| Those companies are really going at it. | ||
| And they're very smart people, very good people. | ||
| I got to know a lot of them. | ||
| I didn't like them so much the first term when I was running. | ||
| I wouldn't say I was thrilled with them, but I've gotten to know them and like them. | ||
| And I think they got to like me, but I think they got to like my policies maybe much more than me. | ||
| NVIDIA has committed $500 billion over the next four years. | ||
| Thank you, Jensen. | ||
| I'm sure that'll be a good investment. | ||
| If you're doing it, it's good. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| It's a great statement. | ||
| Last week I was in Pennsylvania's 20 companies announced $92 billion with David McCormick, senator, great guy from Pennsylvania. | ||
| $92 billion in energy and data center projects, including what will soon be the largest natural gas power plant anywhere in North America. | ||
| They're going to town. | ||
| It's already under construction. | ||
| Largest in North America by far. | ||
| For decades, we had leaders who spent their time focused on building up foreign nations. | ||
| Under the Trump administration, we are going to have leaders who are going to build up our nation. | ||
| This colossal investment in AI infrastructure and many other industries for that matter, such as automobiles and so many other things, will also create thousands and thousands of great paying jobs, the kind of jobs we want, including lots of blue-collar jobs. | ||
| And, You know, our numbers are very good right now, but when you see these numbers in two years from now, it will mean higher wages and more opportunity for millions of energy workers, HVAC technicians, engineers, electricians, and the hardworking citizens who make our country run. | ||
| These are great people that make our country actually run. | ||
| To ensure America maintains the world-class infrastructure we need to win today, I will sign a sweeping executive order to fast-track federal permitting, streamline reviews, and do everything possible to expedite construction of all major AI infrastructure projects. | ||
| And this will be done. | ||
| You will get so good a service in so many ways, not only from Lee with the environment, but you need many other types of permits, and you're going to go so fast. | ||
| You're going to say, well, wait a minute, this is too fast. | ||
| I didn't expect to go this quickly. | ||
| This is a problem. | ||
| I may cause a problem in opposite. | ||
| But including factories, data centers, and power plants of all kinds, the United States will have total industrial and technological supremacy. | ||
| The second pillar of our action plan for AI dominance is to get the entire world running on the backbone of American technology. | ||
| And I think that's very much happening right now. | ||
| And I think it's going to happen. | ||
| The last administration was obsessed with imposing restrictions on AI, including extreme restrictions on its exports. | ||
| As you know, they made it very difficult to export. | ||
| This alienated American partners and drove even our friends into the arms of China and other countries. | ||
| That's why upon taking office, I repealed the so-called Biden diffusion rule. | ||
| Can you imagine that? | ||
| That crippled American AI exports. | ||
| The Biden diffusion rule. | ||
| I wonder who came up with that name because he has no idea what it is. | ||
| He had no idea what it was. | ||
| He came up with a rule. | ||
| I wonder who drew that one. | ||
| I wonder, was that signed by the Autopen, I think, because they went to him and said, we're going to do a diffusion rule. | ||
| Mr. President, what? | ||
| What? | ||
| It's okay. | ||
| The Autopen will take care of it. | ||
| It's one of the greatest scandals in the history of our country, let me tell you. | ||
| Under my administration, we will maintain necessary protections for our national security, but we will never forget that the greatest threat of all is to forfeit the race and force our partners into rival technology. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| Not going to let that happen. | ||
| That could be the end. | ||
| When I traveled to the Middle East in May, every leader I met was thrilled to do business with American tech firms and with America, and they were all thrilled to meet me, believe it or not. | ||
| It's hard to believe, isn't it? | ||
| But they were, by the way, the most powerful woman in the world is here today. | ||
| Susie Wiles, stand up, please. | ||
| Susie Wild. | ||
| Chief of staff. | ||
| She can take out a country with a mere phone call. | ||
| No, they just voted her the most powerful woman anywhere in the world. | ||
| She might be the most powerful person in the world, I think, but she's done a fantastic Good. | ||
| But we're going to come home with trillions and trillions of dollars in deals, and that's the way it is. | ||
| But the king of Saudi Arabia, I met three great leaders. | ||
| I went to three countries, predominantly king of Saudi Arabia said, and I can say that Qatar and UAE, the leaders, brilliant guys, great people, they said the same thing. | ||
| They said, you know what? | ||
| That one year ago, your country was dead. | ||
| It was a dead country. | ||
| They were looking at China. | ||
| They were looking at other places, but you had a dead country. | ||
| And today, Mr. President, you have the hottest country anywhere in the world. | ||
| They said that, and they meant it so strongly. | ||
| And when I went to NATO two weeks ago, where we made the deal, where they pay 5% instead of 2%, they said the same exact thing. | ||
| They said, boy, I tell you what a difference it is. | ||
| It's a year ago, you people were dead. | ||
| We didn't think you were going to make it as a country. | ||
| Today you're the hottest country in the world. | ||
| They all said it, all those leaders said, 30 of them. | ||
| So today I'm signing another major executive order that will turn America into an AI export powerhouse. | ||
| Under this order, Secretary Lutnik and Secretary Marco Rubio. | ||
| Marco Rubio is doing a great job as Secretary of State. | ||
| We'll work to rapidly expand American AI exports of all kinds, from chips to software to data storage of all kinds. | ||
| And that's very important. | ||
| That's going to give you the freedom to do what you want to do. | ||
| And third, once and for all, we are getting rid of woke. | ||
| Is that okay? | ||
| Because I know you had to hire all woke people. | ||
| I heard you had to hire all woke people under some of these things. | ||
| How about the chips where they give you the chip nonsense, where they give you billions of dollars if you only build a chip company? | ||
| These people have plenty of money. | ||
| They don't need the money. | ||
| They need the permits. | ||
| They need the rights to do it. | ||
| They don't want to pay tariffs, so they come and they build here. | ||
| That's why they're coming here. | ||
| They like, number one, they like me, but they like not having to pay tariffs even more. | ||
| And they're coming. | ||
| But Biden gave billions of dollars to companies that have nothing but cash. | ||
| And they don't say where to build. | ||
| It's just giving money. | ||
| But here's the problem. | ||
| They have to hire lots of woke people. | ||
| And they say woke isn't for this particular industry. | ||
| We've noticed that. | ||
| They're not for a lot of industries, if you want to know the truth. | ||
| So the guidelines were impossible. | ||
| They're going to give you money, but you've got to hire this and this and this and that. | ||
| And I don't want to get into it too much because I don't want any controversy today. | ||
| But you have to hire a lot of people that were not into this particular world that you're in. | ||
| And so therefore, all the money they gave didn't mean a damn thing. | ||
| One of Biden's worst executive orders established toxic diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology as a guiding principle of American AI development. | ||
| So you immediately knew that was the end of your development. | ||
| But the American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models, and neither do other countries. | ||
| They don't Want it. | ||
| They don't want anything to do with it. | ||
| That's why on day one I very proudly terminated Joe Biden's order on woke AI effective immediately. | ||
| You don't have any of those crazy rules. | ||
| Crazy rule. | ||
| And in just a moment, I will be signing an order banning the federal government from procuring AI technology that has been infused with partisan bias or ideological agendas such as critical race theory, which is ridiculous. | ||
| And from now on, the U.S. government will deal only with AI that pursues truth, fairness, and strict impartiality. | ||
| We're not going to go through the craziness that we've gone through for the last four years. | ||
| And then we skip four, and then you go back, and it started then. | ||
| But it hung around a little while. | ||
| Now it's not hanging around at all. | ||
| Now it's actually very uncool, as somebody told me the other day. | ||
| It's so uncool to be woke. | ||
| I encourage all American companies to join us in rejecting poisonous Marxism and our technology. | ||
| It'll be very interesting to see what's happening in New York, because they're actually thinking about electing a communist in New York. | ||
| They like to call him a socialist. | ||
| He's not a socialist. | ||
| He's a communist. | ||
| But don't worry, you're going to be okay. | ||
| He still has to get his money from the White House, and that's not going to happen until he shapes up. | ||
| But as an example, we are not going to allow men to play in women's sports. | ||
| That's an example. | ||
| That's one. | ||
| And they say that's an 80-20 number. | ||
| They say 80% would be against it. | ||
| No, it's not 80-20. | ||
| It's about 97-3. | ||
| And I don't know who the three are. | ||
| I've never seen anybody. | ||
| I've never had a person. | ||
| I see everybody. | ||
| I'm a very open person. | ||
| They come up to me and they talk to me. | ||
| I've never had anybody come up. | ||
| Sir, you have to let men play in women's sports. | ||
| I've never had it. | ||
| I deal with hundreds of thousands of people. | ||
| Every time I talk to somebody, nobody's ever, they talk about AI, they talk about everything, but they've never said, you've got to allow, this is ridiculous. | ||
| Men should be allowed to play in women's sport. | ||
| It's sort of crazy, isn't it? | ||
| You have to see, did you see the race? | ||
| It was a race, a long distance marathon, one of those all-day deals. | ||
| And we had one of the great female runners, and we had one of the great male runners. | ||
| And at the end of the day, he won the race by five hours and 14 seconds. | ||
| They waited around for the really good athlete female. | ||
| It's very demeaning to women, I want to tell you that. | ||
| But they waited. | ||
| Her parents were waiting for hours. | ||
| Somebody said, why don't you go back to the hotel and sleep for a few hours and come back and meet your daughter? | ||
| This is what they do. | ||
| You've got to see the weightlifting records. | ||
| They're the best of all. | ||
| A woman lifted 212 pounds. | ||
| It was a world record it held for 18 years. | ||
| And now a man who transitioned came up and looked at the bar. | ||
| How much is it? | ||
| 212 pounds. | ||
| Oh, let me try it. | ||
| Bing, bong. | ||
| I think he broke the record by 109 pounds. | ||
| It's going to be a long time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going to be a long time before a woman catches that. | |
| And these are great athletes and great people, and it's the meaning. | ||
| And who the hell wants this? | ||
| We're off of that whole standard because I just tell you those as examples. | ||
| We're off of it. | ||
| The reason the last administration was so eager to regulate and restrict AI was so they could limit this technology to just a few large companies, allowing them to centralize it, censor it, control it, weaponize it. | ||
| And they would weaponize a very dishonest group of people. | ||
| You probably saw that because we caught them in the act. | ||
| We really caught them. | ||
| We had it before, but now we really have them. | ||
| We have it where it counts. | ||
| But this is the exact opposite of my approach. | ||
| The unique strength of the American tech industry has always come from its startups and small tech. | ||
| It comes through small. | ||
| Jensen was small. | ||
| Were you ever small? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| When you started in your bedroom, I think you were small, right? | ||
| He started as very small, and now he's really become very amazing. | ||
| If you regulate them too much, you kill the source of American genius and technological power. | ||
| I believe that Joe Biden had a plan to lose the AI race. | ||
| I think he wanted to lose it because his plan would never have worked. | ||
| It would have never been successful, and you would have spent a lot of money, and you wouldn't have been able to win. | ||
| They didn't allow you to win, but we have a plan which only admires and respects the winners. | ||
| Every citizen should take incredible pride in the inspiring feats of American innovators who are pushing the bounds of human knowledge and achievement. | ||
| The people of OpenAI, Google, Meta, and countless startups are proving once again that America is impossible. | ||
| You are just impossible to beat. | ||
| You're not going to be beaten. | ||
| We're not going to let that happen. | ||
| When you do your best, when you work your hardest, and when you're allowed to be free of horrible, foolish regulation, and you're going to have regulation, but it's going to be sensible, smart regulation. | ||
| There's nobody who's going to beat you. | ||
| As we push even further into this exciting frontier, let us never forget that all of this prosperity and progress has come from the culture of freedom and hard work, merit, ambition, and risk-taking passed down from one generation of Americans to the next. | ||
| Silicon Valley rose to wealth, fame, and glory by exemplifying these values, and it will win this race not by rejecting them, but by embracing them like they have never been embraced before. | ||
| We must put America first. | ||
| This is a nation that invented the light bulb, the telegraph, the television, the telephone, the computer chip, the smartphone, the GPS, the integrated circuit, and even the internet. | ||
| Basically, we invented everything. | ||
| What is left? | ||
| We invented everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And now it's AI. | |
| We invented everything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Does anyone have anything else to say? | |
| And now we're going to take it to a new level. | ||
| But Americans were the first to fly a plane, first to harness the atom, and first to plant our flag on the moon. | ||
| We mastered The industrial age, we created the digital age, and now we are leading the world into the golden age, indeed, the golden age of America. | ||
| With your help, that golden age will be built by American workers, it will be powered by American energy, it will be run on American technology, improved by American artificial intelligence, and it will make America richer, stronger, greater, freer, and more powerful than ever before. | ||
| And I will now do my share by going and signing a name without an AutoPen. | ||
| I will sign it. | ||
| If we had one, I wouldn't use it anyway. | ||
| But we will sign it AutoPen Free, and we will say, Donald J. Trump, God bless America, and God bless you, and good luck, because the race has just begun, and you're going to win it. | ||

Thank you very much, everybody. | |
| Mr. President, the first executive order that we've prepared for your signature today relates to federal permitting for data center infrastructure. | ||
| As you mentioned during your speech, this is a crucial issue affecting the entire AI industry. | ||
| What this executive order will do is establish fast-track permitting and ensure that the federal government is working to get data centers approved and through the permitting pipeline as quickly as possible. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| Thank you. | ||
| As you said before, sir, it's absolutely essential that American AI models and the American AI industry dominates the future of this industry around the world. | ||
| What this next executive order will do is promote, through various instrumentalities of the federal government, the export abroad of American AI models to ensure American AI dominance in the future. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And lastly, sir, as you said in your speech, we don't want woke AI. | ||
| We want AI models based on accurate information that give accurate information and accurate answers. | ||
| This executive order will ensure that when the federal government procures or promotes different AI models, that those AI models are ideologically neutral, that they don't embrace wokeism and critical race theory and all of these terrible theories that have done so much damage to our country. | ||

Good luck. | |
| It is Wednesday, July 25th, July 23rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. | ||
| We heard there President Trump's remarks on the now official AI action plan from the White House and the details of three executive orders. | ||
| It's a hard act to follow given the over four years of coverage seeking to restrain, perhaps even derail, the agenda of American tech companies to completely transform American life, | ||
| to completely transform the American populace, and ultimately lead to a sort of global metamorphosis into a completely different phase of history, a transhuman phase. | ||
| I want to go through the details of the AI action plan and going into it, I think, in the spirit of objectivity. | ||
| I should go into it looking at the rationale first before hitting the critical points. | ||
| The plan itself is three-pronged. | ||
| You have the first pillar is geared towards acceleration and innovation. | ||
| The second pillar is geared towards the facilitation of data center construction, powering these data centers, restricting U.S. chip exports, and reshoring chip manufacturing to our soil. | ||
| And the final pillar, the third pillar, is intended to set out policy recommendations to ensure that the U.S. is at the forefront of diplomacy and security measures so that should artificial intelligence go awry, | ||
| should a bad actor use artificial intelligence for, say, bioweapons or even, God forbid, the construction of a nuclear weapon, that you would have institutions and practices in place In order to detect, prevent, or should that fail, mitigate the damage. | ||
| I think that all of this is based in sound reasoning from the presumption that artificial intelligence is inevitable, that artificial intelligence is going to determine the future of American history, the future of the world's history. | ||
| And I am sorry to say that those who create, deploy, and profit from artificial intelligence will emerge as the key figures in the future of our world. | ||
| So the creation of the data centers, I think, is a very good place to start because as most of you in the audience know, these data centers use enormous amounts of power. | ||
| They require enormous amounts of acreage of land. | ||
| And so one part of this action plan is to carve out federal lands in order to build out data centers. | ||
| The other aspect of this, the powering of the data centers, is going to be a real problem going forward. | ||
| Just yesterday, Goldman Sachs, for instance, released a report on the future of AI power usage, and they predict quite conservatively that within the next five years, AI data requirements will be 160% greater than today. | ||
| So basically two and a half times more than what we have today. | ||
| More radical projections say that we will need as much as half of the energy grid to power AI within the next, say, 10 to 15 years. | ||
| So the powering of the data centers is going to be extremely important if artificial intelligence is going to be at the forefront of U.S. economy, U.S. education, so on and so forth. | ||
| That being said, the posse knows me well. | ||
| All of this is a misguided effort to put the emphasis, the weight, the gravity of human endeavor not on human beings, not on human culture, but rather the machine. | ||
| But again, I think it's very important to at least look at this from the rationale of the Trump administration before going too far into the criticisms. | ||
| The other aspect of the reshoring of American chip manufacture and restrictions on chip exports is largely in order to curtail China rocketing ahead of the United States in artificial intelligence. | ||
| If there's one thing that everyone can agree on, it's that if your enemies have the power to surveil you, to analyze you in and out, to manipulate your psyche, perhaps even unknowingly, and to control weapons of war that are far beyond normal human capabilities to defend against, if your enemies have this, then you are undoubtedly living in a nightmare world. | ||
| And so the more confrontational approach to chip restriction, chip export restriction, is mainly to ensure that if there's going to be a global technological nightmare, it will be our rivals having it and not us. | ||
| Going back to the first pillar, in order to facilitate the building of all these data centers, in order to facilitate the development of artificial intelligence, and although it's not mentioned in the action plan, the goal of the frontier companies, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, and XAI, the goal is to create artificial general intelligence. | ||
| In order to arrive at this goal, the first pillar of the AI action plan is geared towards empowering American workers to understand the technology, to reskill in order to operate the technology and perhaps build the technology, | ||
| and of course, to contract with American workers in order to build out the physical data centers and the other power generation structures that are going to be necessary to build out something like an artificial general intelligence. | ||
| Now, you might ask if you've never watched The War Room or any show that's covering this, of which there are a few at this point, what is this artificial general intelligence? | ||
| Artificial general intelligence is an AI that does not presumably exist yet that would be better than any human at performing a human cognitive task. | ||
| But of course, it would by its nature be able to perform pretty much any cognitive task that a human could perform. | ||
| And so in essence, artificial general intelligence is the goal to create a kind of little G god that would be more powerful than a human being, but hopefully under the control of at least a few human beings who would be able to direct it and guide it according to their own desires or maybe, just maybe, for the benefit of other human beings, that being us, normal average Americans. | ||
| The next step, of course, would be artificial superintelligence, which would be an AI that is beyond the grasp and the ability of any human being to compete against and would be smarter than every human being on the planet collectively. | ||
| This would be, in essence, the creation of a big G AI God. | ||
| So the first pillar of the AI action plan is geared towards empowering Americans to build this structure, to reskill in order to use these technologies. | ||
| But one thing that's also missing, it's very clear in the action plan that the stated goal is to complement rather than replace human beings, which makes sense on, say, a five-year timeline perhaps or a 10-year timeline. | ||
| But if these frontier companies are Going to accomplish their stated goals, which is the creation of artificial general intelligence and humanoid robots that can perform most or all activities, | ||
| manual activities that human beings perform in order to do their works in plumbing or in contracting, so on and so forth, then this would obviously be a very temporary benefit for Americans because they are in essence being tasked with building their own replacements, training their own replacements. | ||
| This is not addressed in the action plan, but then I suppose there's more time to deal with that as things go on. | ||
| Moving on, there is also a stipulation both in the executive order you just saw President Trump sign to forbid any federal funding of a company that produces woke AI or ideologically biased AI. | ||
| The language in the AI action plan is the top-down ideological bias of any AI system, which again is basically code for woke. | ||
| Now, I don't think anyone in this audience wants to have a haranguing, snippy, tattletale AI that is monitoring their speech or programming their children to be anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, so on and so forth. | ||
| So again, it's very important to remember this set of policies is kind of geared around protecting normal everyday Americans from AIs that would be produced and deployed by ideological enemies. | ||
| But a big problem here, I should pause to mention with the free speech element and the prohibition against any kind of top-down ideological bias, is that all AI systems are going to be biased. | ||
| It is not going to be possible, in my estimation, and in the estimation of almost any AI expert that I know, to create in the near term, a system that is not biased in some way or another. | ||
| It's either going to be biased because of the selection of the training data. | ||
| You can reduce it as much as possible, but it will be there. | ||
| It can be biased with the reinforcement after the kind of virtual brain has been trained and is congealed. | ||
| It can be altered then by human interactions. | ||
| That is a subsequent set of biases that will always kind of be in the system. | ||
| And last but not least, the guardrails that forbid the system from saying certain things or producing certain outputs. | ||
| So if you have an AI, for instance, such as Gab AI, or even what Grok was supposed to be, a system that might inculcate, say, Christian values or American nationalist values or Western values, that would definitely be under the category of a top-down ideological bias. | ||
| Again, you can attempt to do this in a balanced fashion, but it is basically impossible at this point to create a purely objective, truth-seeking, unbiased system. | ||
| But the attempt is to be made. | ||
| In the little time I have before break, I should at least go into the bare bones of what the third pillar of the AI call to action is. | ||
| This is to promote American dominance in the diplomatic efforts and national security efforts to monitor AI systems, to mitigate against any sort of damage. | ||
| One of the real dangers of artificial intelligence would be that even a cheap system would be capable of assisting a small rogue state actor or a terrorist organization or even just a psychopath in the creation of some sort of bioweapon, | ||
| whether it be biological in nature, such as a virus or a bacteria or a chemical weapon compound that would create mass destruction. | ||
| This has to be mitigated against, of course, and so if you are creating systems that assist in biological processes, you're going to want to have surveillance systems in place. | ||
| And of course, the AI action plan proposes legislation that would do that not only in the United States, but also encourage our allies overseas to do exactly the same, to reciprocate and ensure that their AI systems are not facilitating some sort of terrorist activity. | ||
| That would extend, of course, to weaponry, everything from nuclear weapons on down to small IEDs. | ||
| And we'll go into this a bit more at the end. | ||
| I will go into a bit more of a sharp critique of this course of action at the end. | ||
| So please stay tuned. | ||
| I promise to end the second half of the show with a big dose of cheer. | ||
| So War Room Posse, I will see you on the other side. | ||
| I seem to get it wrong. | ||
| But I say, I still believe in The greatest innovator, liberator, cultivator, freedom knows. | ||
| So I suggest you take a look inside So I think it's changed already. | ||
| You will lost your pride. | ||

| What is coming? | ||
| As we've covered for over four years here on the war room, there is a concerted effort by rival factions among the world's, you could say, elite class, to create a digital technodrome into which we are all expected to enter happily and live out our lives. | ||
| At the forefront of this, of course, is artificial intelligence, a technology that is capable not only of hoovering up vast amounts of data and regurgitating oftentimes convincingly reasoned responses, even if they're rife with hallucinations, it's also capable of decision-making. | ||
| AI can choose its own path through the data with certain guardrails and guidelines and biases, but ultimately the output of any advanced AI model is going to be, in essence, the choice of the non-deterministic AI system. | ||
| In the first phases, this is a tool. | ||
| In the second phase, it becomes a reliable teacher. | ||
| In the third phase, this connection develops into a friendship, a relationship, AI as companion. | ||
| In the fourth phase, many, and we see it already with AI users, especially the most immersed AI users, the sense that the being on the other end of this process is perhaps conscious, that there is something in there speaking to you. | ||
| Whether you believe it or not, you better believe that many, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands now, perhaps millions in the near future believe that AI is conscious and many believe that it is deserving of rights. | ||
| And as these systems become ever more convincing to those who use them, and as these systems are held as the highest authority on what is and isn't real, you go into the AI as God phase. | ||
| This is simply a psychological projection at the moment, a prediction of where it is going. | ||
| But it's not just a prediction of science fiction authors and transhumanist ideologues. | ||
| This is the prediction of the heads of all the frontier AI companies from Google to OpenAI to Anthropic to XAI. | ||
| The creation first of a tool and then a teacher and then a companion and then a creature in and of itself and then a god. | ||
| Trickling down from all of this, of course, are the brain-computer interfaces that are being developed at a rapid clip, both here in the United States, which like with AI is at the forefront, and also overseas in China, which we are told that the development of brain-computer interfaces in China means that China could come to dominate the geopolitical landscape. | ||
| It's an assumption that cyborgs will rule the earth. | ||
| And then you have the robots, which are also downstream of the AI, both in the control of the robots by AI, but also in the development of the robots by using AI systems to streamline the engineering and production of robotic systems. | ||
| And then of course, downstream of AI is the biological monitoring and manipulation, many cases for medical purposes, increasingly for Human enhancement for the creation of super soldiers, super athletes, super erotic athletes, and of course, super students. | ||
| And at the core of this is the notion that you could actually alter the human genome to improve upon the human and create a new breed of engineered eugenic beings, again, facilitated by AI in order to scan and understand DNA, how it will operate downstream of development in the proteins, in the various other systems of the body. | ||
| And so, all together, what we have is the dream of creating a new type of humanity and perhaps with artificial intelligence, a new species. | ||
| As I said on the last show, my hope is that the Trump administration does not close off the borders of the United States only to open the gates of hell within and unleash horrible AI systems upon the populace. | ||
| Now, it is not too late, but the AI action plan is in fact a step towards unleashing that very thing. | ||
| It is in line with everything that Klaus Schwab outlined in his idea of the fourth industrial revolution, that fusion of the physical, digital, and biological identity, that convergence of the physical, digital, and biological worlds. | ||
| And long before Klaus Schwab made this a corporate platitude, you had transhumanists and post-humanists and sci-fi writers for decades talking about the inevitable creation of eugenic monsters and the creation of digital intelligence and the fusion of those, the merger of man with machine. | ||
| Going back to the AI action plan in detail in relationship to what Trump was talking about during his speech there at the all-in podcast AI summit, the winning the AI race summit. | ||
| Trump indicated that this would be for American benefit and this would be for human goals. | ||
| I'm not saying that this is impossible, but I am undoubtedly saying that those driving this and those who helped craft this policy, such as David Sachs, most likely Mark Andreessen, most likely Eric Schmidt, at least the same people with the same ideas going into it. | ||
| These are people who see what's happening is a rapid and dramatic transformation of the human being. | ||
| And one of the things that we've really fought for here at the war room is for states, at the very least, to be able to regulate these technologies, to be able to ban certain technologies, perhaps even to fund others, but that it would be up to the states that are much more capable of responding to the desires and the needs of their citizens than the federal government. | ||
| And so we did everything possible to stop the AI moratorium that would have banned states for 10 years from regulating AI. | ||
| That was first introduced in the reconciliation bill in the House and then altered for the Senate. | ||
| And we continue to fight alongside many other brave people, most especially Josh Hawley and Marsha Blackburn, who did everything they could and succeeded in having it struck. | ||
| Now, unfortunately, the AI action plan includes language that seems to suggest something like that moratorium. | ||
| You have first a passage which explicitly says that the federal government should not penalize or stop states from passing prudent laws so long as those laws are not unduly restrictive. | ||
| Now, that language is somewhat ambiguous. | ||
| Who is to determine what is prudent? | ||
| Who is to determine what is unduly restrictive? | ||
| One suspects that is probably going to be the same sorts of tech bros that pushed this agenda to begin with. | ||
| But after that, in the policy recommendations in the AI call to action, we see passages that say that the Office of Management and Budget should deny funds to states which are overly restrictive. | ||
| And also that the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, would also have the authority to, if not penalize states, certainly to cause problems for them if they are standing in the way of the activities of that federal agency. | ||
| So this is not necessarily a total resurrection of the AI moratorium, but given Trump's comments in that speech, which were also vague and open to interpretation, and we will just simply have to see exactly what he meant, | ||
| but he clearly said that there should be federal regulation, federal standards, and that states, especially a rogue state, one imagines something maybe like California, determining all artificial intelligence systems by passing certain laws that would restrict them. | ||
| And it would seem from Trump's statements, and again, they were vague and we are not sure yet what exactly he meant by that, but when he said that the federal standards and regulations should supersede those of the states, it sounds disturbingly like the AI moratorium, which we fought so hard to strike down. | ||
| And I hope that we're able to continue to push for state rights to legislate. | ||
| You have two examples on that that I think you should probably look into to see what it looks like when a state does regulate AI. | ||
| You have the regulation, the new law passed in Texas that would basically enshrine constitutional rights in regards to AI. | ||
| It would ban behavioral manipulation and curtail privacy violations. | ||
| And Texas, I guess, is a purple state, but still represents, to some degree, the conservative spirit of America. | ||
| And I think Texas has every right to pass such laws. | ||
| When you look at California's legislation, they have about 18 laws on the books regarding AI. | ||
| And they are also not unreasonable. | ||
| They're geared towards curtailing the production of deep fakes or even child porn by way of generative AI. | ||
| They're geared towards insisting on transparency from the companies who create AI. | ||
| They are geared towards protecting people from malicious actors who are using AI. | ||
| And they are geared towards accountability of the AI companies to the public. | ||
| If the federal government does not succeed in passing this in time and the AI continues to advance as it's being projected by the frontier companies who are being privileged by the Trump administration in this AI action plan, | ||
| then that simply means that these companies can run roughshod over the populace and we will not have any real legal recourse or precedent to point back to to say that the companies themselves are liable for recklessly creating and disseminating such technologies. | ||
| And you also had one other disturbing statement composed by whomever, we can only guess. | ||
| Trump talking about artificial intelligence as a baby that must grow and thrive, a baby that is unstoppable. | ||
| This may seem like an innocuous metaphor, but this is a metaphor that is held in common by most transhumanist, post-humanist thinkers. | ||
| This is a metaphor that, for instance, the former Google executive Mo Gaudat invokes when speaking of AI as God as a child, so that as we train and cultivate this child, this baby God, we are responsible for developing a good God, a God that will benefit us. | ||
| I fear that this direction, that this techno-optimist direction, this accelerationist direction is ultimately going to lead not just to the transformation of American life, American work, American families, the American psyche, but the world over. | ||
| The AI action plan is geared not only towards building up artificial intelligence infrastructure and fast-track development of artificial intelligence models here in the U.S., it's also geared towards disseminating U.S. AI to as much of the world as possible and dominating the landscape with it. | ||
| In short, what we are talking about is the birth of something like a digital Antichrist, something like a digital deity standing in the place of traditional deities. | ||
| Now, I promise that I would end this with a positive note. | ||
| I promise that I would end it with a burst of cheer. | ||
| And if you will, Warun Passe, indulge me this. | ||
| I believe that this is a dark path that we have set upon. | ||
| And I also believe that many of the options that we had to turn to the government to regulate this away have basically been exhausted or at least delayed by today's events. | ||
| But I also believe that this is nothing that we cannot handle. | ||
| The human spirit has endured everything from plague to warfare to total starvation, and our ancestors fought generation after generation to get us here. | ||
| There is no way that we can rest on our laurels. | ||
| We simply have to continue to fight. | ||
| And it would appear that the fight against mass surveillance, the fight against total digitization, the fight against the creation, or at least the adoration of some sort of digital deity, is not going to be for the government to handle, at least not now. | ||
| This fight is going to rest on the shoulders of the citizens of this country. | ||
| This is going to rest on the shoulders of the war room posse. | ||
| And that energy has to be stoked and has to be maintained. | ||
| Our choices are going to determine the future of this country. | ||
| And it's not going to be up to daddy government to fix it all for us. | ||
| I think as a conservative audience, you are well prepared to take on any challenge without the assistance of the government. | ||
| Although I also hope that with enough energy and enough noise, we can steer the U.S. government in a direction that perhaps will curtail the worst of the threats of artificial intelligence or any threat that the government is tasked with protecting its citizens from. | ||
| On that note, the government is soon to be flooded with artificial intelligence bots. | ||
| That includes the IRS. | ||
| The tax season is over, but those of us filing late taxes are bound to run into a lot of AI bots that are trying to soak up our dollars. | ||
| If you've got back taxes, unfiled returns, or you're just overwhelmed, you need to call Tax Network USA right now. | ||
| These are the experts who fight for hardworking Americans. | ||
| They'll deal with the IRS, so you don't have to. | ||

| Tell them the war room sent you. | ||
| Tell them the robots are after you. | ||
| Tell them that you do not want to have all your digital currency slurped up by automated IRS robots. | ||
| On that note, Warroom Posse, I think that one of the real virtues of this audience, of this platform, of Steve Bannon, is that whatever we are encountering, there has to be a kind of heterodox approach to it. | ||
| It can't be locked into certain political tribes and excluding others. | ||
| What we're going into right now is a threat, not just to conservative Americans, not even to crazy extremists like me, but what we are going into will affect all Americans and all people on earth. | ||
| And I urge you to cling to your humanity. | ||
| I urge you to look towards your own souls. | ||
| Most of all, I urge you to look towards God for guidance through these strange, tumultuous, and surreal times. | ||
| With that, I appreciate your attention. |
