| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on this people. | ||
| Here's not got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA media. | ||
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||
| Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Battle. | ||
| It's Tuesday, 2 December, Year of Our Lord, 2025. | ||
| Thank you for sticking around for the early evening edition of the War Room. | ||
| Breaking news out of Moscow, Reuters. | ||
| Putin warns Europe, if you want war, then Russia will defeat you. | ||
| President Vladimir Putin warned European powers on Tuesday that if they started a war with Russia, then Moscow was ready to fight and that the defeat of European powers would be so absolute that there would be no one left to even negotiate a peace deal. | ||
| End quote. | ||
| We're going to get back to this in a moment. | ||
| Our negotiators, Jared and Kushner, we call for over, there we go right there, are over in Moscow right now. | ||
| I want to turn to Texas though, Brian Harrison. | ||
| Brian, after all the hard work of the grassroots and folks like yourselves down there, we're starting to see some wins. | ||
| We had a big win today. | ||
| What do you got for us? | ||
| This is a huge win and one of just a long string of huge conservative, massive conservative victories that grassroots patriots, very much including the posse, have forced a change. | ||
| I've got some breaking news down here. | ||
| Steve, I don't know how many times I've been on your show this year talking about how Texas, despite the fact that we have this reputation for being a bold, conservative, Republican MAGA state, our government is actually very blue, even though the Texas voters are very red. | ||
| Well, the Texas government has been one of, if not the biggest funders, as crazy as this sounds, of DEI, perhaps in all of the country. | ||
| And in fact, just one program, the biggest DEI program in Texas is called our Hubs program, historically underutilized businesses. | ||
| And what it is, is the comptroller of the state of Texas has been requiring every single state agency, when they issue any kind of contract, to use minimum DEI criteria here. | ||
| And I'll give you just a couple examples. | ||
| For every construction contract in Texas, a minimum of 21% had to be awarded on the basis of race or gender. | ||
| For any special trade construction contracts, 33% must be awarded on the base of race and gender. | ||
| For every professional services contract, 24% on the basis of race and gender. | ||
| Facially unconstitutional. | ||
| I referred the comptroller to the Trump Department of Justice two months ago, exposed this for the past several months, have talked about it here with you on War Room, alerted the posse. | ||
| Well, guys, I think we put the fear of God into the comptroller and to the governor in Texas. | ||
| And as of today, that program has effectively been ended. | ||
| So I've got some very good historic news. | ||
| The biggest DEI program in the state of Texas, the posse, hardworking, patriotic Texans and Americans all across the country forced a massive defeat against the liberal establishment, Austin Uniparty. | ||
| And let me make no mistake about this. | ||
| There is zero chance this would ever have happened through the normal legislative process. | ||
| Every bill I filed to end these DEI programs in Texas died an unceremonial death, weren't even allowed to be debated, but just by going on social media, going on War Room, going on media and going straight to the people over the heads of the Texas establishment, we delivered the single biggest defeat against DEI, the biggest victory for people against discriminatory DEI in Texas history. | ||
| And just to make it clear, at risk of putting too fine a point on it, guys, our social media, I call them the Liberty Bots, the people that follow me on X, guys, we have done more for conservatism just in the past few months. | ||
| And the governor, lieutenant governor, entire Texas House, entire Texas Senate combined, just in the last few months, we forced out the leftist president of Texas A ⁇ M who was pushing DEI and transgender indoctrination. | ||
| We forced the Texas DMV to stop issuing vehicle registrations to illegal aliens. | ||
| I announced that on your shows too, Steve. | ||
| And then here today, we've killed the single biggest DEI program in the Texas government. | ||
| And I just want to come on and say thank you to everybody who had a hand in that. | ||
| But Brian, here's the question. | ||
| Why is it that the voters don't want this and they're adamant about it? | ||
| Guys like you have been fighting. | ||
| But the political class in Texas that is voted into office and empowered by these same voters, what's the logic? | ||
| Why do they make it so difficult? | ||
| Why do they, they're adamant about not ending all these programs unless absolutely humiliated, embarrassed, forced to, a forcing function, something like this. | ||
| What is the mentality that makes them just said that we don't care what our voters want, sir? | ||
| Yeah, no, absolutely. | ||
| I say this all the time. | ||
| Transparency is like kryptonite in the liberal Austin swamp. | ||
| And I'll say this too. | ||
| You know, I would actually think, Steve, it's like the biggest form of voter fraud. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Voters gave Republicans, the governor's mansion, lieutenant governor's office, massive majorities in the Texas House, the Texas Senate Republicans have every single statewide office in the state of Texas. | ||
| But you know what happens? | ||
| These so-called Republicans, many of them are actually Democrats. | ||
| They just know they can't get elected if they were honest. | ||
| They campaign for office saying, vote for me. | ||
| I'll stand up to those radical Democrats who are going to indoctrinate the next generation. | ||
| Vote for me. | ||
| I'll fight the radical leftists who are going to bankrupt the future of our state and our country. | ||
| But the second they get elected and they go under that corrupt pink dome down in Austin, they vote to put those very Democrats in power and then they collude with them to pass a Marxist leftist progressive agenda. | ||
| And then they do it all under the guise of the shroud of secrecy. | ||
| And that's why, even though it's the most hated Twitter feed in the state of Texas, it has now become the most powerful Twitter feed for those of you who follow me on X, because we are delivering more and doing more for the voters of Texas than the entire Austin establishment combined. | ||
| And make no mistake about this. | ||
| Every single one of these conservative victories only happened because they were shamed and forced at the point of public humiliation into doing the right thing. | ||
| It shouldn't be this hard. | ||
| You know, when I call for the president of Texas A ⁇ M to be fired, this former Barack Obama official who was this leftist DEI indoctrinator, not one other Republican in the Texas government joined me in that fight. | ||
| But going on War Room, the posse, patriots across the state and the country, we delivered. | ||
| And it shouldn't be this hard. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| If this is what it takes to preserve Texas and therefore preserve America and therefore the world, because as you know, Steve, we're in a fight for nothing less than the future of Western civilization. | ||
| And Texas is on a front line. | ||
| We are a battleground state. | ||
| We're the line in the sand for the future of liberty. | ||
| It shouldn't be this hard. | ||
| I shouldn't have to work with you and the posse and pressure and shame the elected Republican establishment in Texas into doing the right thing for voters, into doing the right thing for the future. | ||
| But you know what, Steve? | ||
| If that's what it takes, if it's that amount of work and that amount of effort, if we can do our part to preserve the blessings of liberty and freedom and prosperity for my kids, your kids, grandkids, and the next generation of Texans and Americans, you know what, Steve? | ||
| It shouldn't be this hard, but it is. | ||
| But you know what? | ||
| It's worth it and we're making a difference. | ||
| You know, talk about making a difference. | ||
| We just had a report from the Heritage Action guys, and of course we had turning point on this morning about a rally. | ||
| This is all about Indiana, about the 9-0 versus the 8-1. | ||
| The House just voted it out at the first reading and is going to have to go through a couple more. | ||
| But they said today they had seven hours of Democratic activists of people around the nation coming in and just, and they all referred back to Texas. | ||
| Texas was the railhead. | ||
| And I remember having the meeting with you and Glenn Story down there. | ||
| It seems like decades ago, but it was really back, I guess, in July when you helped lead us and forced the Hannah Abbott to come back. | ||
| Has anybody, they keep using Texas as an example. | ||
| Has anybody been penalized at all, held accountable for the Democrats leaving and going to Illinois? | ||
| Remember all the threats that were there? | ||
| And, you know, the way you stopped this is to hold people accountable and make sure that has a parking spot been taken? | ||
| Has any seniority been taken? | ||
| Has anybody offices been moved? | ||
| Please tell me something happened about that fiasco with the Democrats. | ||
| It's funny you say that. | ||
| I just pulled out my phone here because I just tweeted out this morning. | ||
| I did the math, Steve. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| It has been 121 days since the radical Marxist leftists abandoned their post and broke quorum to stop our redistricting efforts. | ||
| And here's the statistics. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| Because remember, the governor said, if any Democrat that doesn't show up at three o'clock on Monday, you know, their seats are going to be vacated. | ||
| Our rhino speaker signed arrest warrants. | ||
| I guess they were ceremonial arrest warrants. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Because here's the statistics. | ||
| 121 days since they broke quorum. | ||
| The number of seats vacated, zero. | ||
| The number of arrests, zero. | ||
| The number of chairmanships, yes, Democrats chair committees in the Texas House and vice chairmanships. | ||
| The number of chairmanships and vice chairmanships that have been taken away from the Democrats, zero. | ||
| The number of fines, even $1 of fines that they will have to pay, zero dollars. | ||
| The number of them that have had their seniority stripped, zero. | ||
| The committees they've been removed from, zero. | ||
| Their offices defunded, zero. | ||
| You asked the big one, Steve. | ||
| If we want to be serious, take away their parking spots. | ||
| Nope. | ||
| They've all got their parking spots. | ||
| But don't worry, the Republican House caucus did meet and they did pass one. | ||
| They did vote to not punish the Democrats. | ||
| So zero consequences for the Democrats who broke quorum. | ||
| And as of this morning, if my math is right, that was 121 days ago. | ||
| Let me tell you this, Steve. | ||
| We can joke about this, but this is actually, it's not a laughing matter, and I know you know that. | ||
| I'm sick and tired of Democrats and leftists and Marxists and progressives fighting harder for the future of our state and nation than so-called Republicans. | ||
| And it's embarrassing as hell that nowhere is that more true than in the great state of Texas. | ||
| This is why it's so important. | ||
| You're right. | ||
| It's funny when you go through there how shocking it is, but we need to revisit that. | ||
| And here's the reason. | ||
| You've had California break their Constitution. | ||
| You've got the folks up in Illinois now, it's 17-3. | ||
| I think they're going to take a couple more. | ||
| My beloved Commonwealth of Virginia, which is 6'5, because it's kind of evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, they're going to put forward an amendment, legislation in a referendum in April to go 10 to 1. | ||
| The Democrats are on fire and playing Smashmouth. | ||
| And we're up in Indiana fighting. | ||
| You know, we got Turning Point, we got Heritage Action, we got all the tribes that come together. | ||
| And I mean, it is a throwdown. | ||
| And you've got these Democrats, and the Democrats understand how to use something like Indiana as an example. | ||
| And I go back in Texas, which they turned into a fiasco. | ||
| We've let them off the hook. | ||
| There's no penalty for these guys playing Smash Mouth. | ||
| And it has to be, we have to do that. | ||
| And we got to turn to Texas and use that as an example, sir. | ||
| Well, and you always talk about this. | ||
| And Stephen, you're exactly right. | ||
| Like I said, why are the Democrats always the party fighting as hard as possible for the future? | ||
| Why aren't the Republicans fighting that hard? | ||
| And you talk about having a maximalist strategy. | ||
| How many times, Steve, was I on with you here on War Room during the Democratic form break talking about what we call the Harrison proposal? | ||
| Play hardball. | ||
| Every week the Democrats walk out. | ||
| That's one more seat. | ||
| My question is, why the hell didn't we pass a map that gave Texas five more seats? | ||
| Because California, probably unconstitutionally, by the way, is about to go and erase the gains from Texas. | ||
| And by the way, the left was going to fight the Texas redistricting with every bit as much fervor, whether we added five seats or six seats or seven seats or eight seats. | ||
| So why did we only go for five? | ||
| The author of the bill said we could have done more than five. | ||
| We should have done more than five. | ||
| And by the way, we don't know if they're going to count because we've got these judicial activist judges down here, this three-judge federal panel that slapped our maps down. | ||
| So we don't even know how that's going to play out. | ||
| And as best I can tell, there is no contingency from the governor or the leadership of the Texas House or the Texas Senate to bring us back to draw another map in the event that our maps don't survive judicial scrutiny. | ||
| As far as I'm concerned, we should be working on another map right now that adds five, six, seven, eight, nine seats. | ||
| We need to be fighting as hard for the future as the Democrats. | ||
| And we should have passed a map that had more than five seats. | ||
| I mean, as you know, as razor-thin as these margins are, the redistricting battle here in the state of Texas may well be the definitive variable in whether the United States Congress stays in Republican control and Donald Trump gets an actual four-year presidency or whether the last two years are stymied because the U.S. House has fallen to the radical leftists like AOC and Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| And you cannot overstate the stakes. | ||
| And you know, there's one party, best I can tell, that always knows how high the stakes are and is acting like it. | ||
| And sadly and embarrassingly enough, far too often, it's not the Republican Party. | ||
| And it's past time for that to change. | ||
| And I want Texas actually to be leading the fight against that. | ||
| Brian, where do people go to get all your information, sir? | ||
| The most hated, but as it turns out, I guess the most powerful Twitter feed in the state of Texas at Brian E. Harrison, at BrianE. Harrison on X. Do your civic duty today. | ||
| Piss off a rhino. | ||
| Go follow me on X at Brian E. Harrison. | ||
| And Steve, I'd be remiss if I didn't end here by just saying one more time. | ||
| Thank you to the posse. | ||
| If you posted on social media, if you followed me, if you called the governor, lieutenant governor, the speaker, if you sent an email, if you posted on social media to stop DEI, to fire the Texas A ⁇ M president for the DMV to stop giving vehicle registrations to illegal. | ||
| These victories, big victories, would never have happened without you. | ||
| So thank you from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of 30 million Texans to everybody who participated in delivering these big wins. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Force multiple. | ||
| Thank you for the leadership, Brian. | ||
| You and the people. | ||
| Patriot Mobile. | ||
| Thank you so much. | ||
| Patriot Mobile right now, 972 Patriot, call them up. | ||
| You'll talk to a customer service rep with an East Texas accent. | ||
| This is the best mobile service around. | ||
| As importantly, they support your causes. | ||
| All these victories in Texas comes from their political arm. | ||
| Glenn Story and the team, absolutely incredible. | ||
| I'll be with Glenn tomorrow. | ||
| We'll be plotting some more stuff. | ||
| There's so much. | ||
| Texas is in the balance, this situation with the Muslim Brotherhood. | ||
| Abbott, finally, with a lot of attention paid to it, said that they are designated them a terrorist organization. | ||
| It's also CARE, and I think helped, let's be blunt, helped the Trump administration get rolling on this thing. | ||
| So 972-PATRIOT. | ||
| Talk to him today about switching to the best phone service, best mobile service in the world with the best company that's got your back. | ||
| So Taj Gill, I just want to read a couple of quotes here. | ||
| I just gave you the specific, and he said even for Putin, this is hard. | ||
| President Vladimir Putin warned the European powers on Tuesday that if they started a war with Russia, then Moscow was ready to fight and that the defeat of European powers would be so absolute that there would be no one left to even negotiate with. | ||
| Was four years into the war in Ukraine, the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II. | ||
| Russia has failed to conquer the country, a much smaller neighbor, which has been supported by European powers in the United States. | ||
| Ukraine and European powers have repeatedly warned that if Putin wins the Ukraine war, then he would attack a NATO member, a claim which Putin has repeatedly dismissed as nonsense. | ||
| Asked by a reporter about remarks in the Russian media that Hungarian foreign minister Peter Zlurto had cautioned that Europe was preparing a war against Russia, Putin said that Russia did not want a war with Europe. | ||
| This is a quote from Putin: if Europe suddenly wants to start a war with us and starts it, Putin said, then it would end so swiftly for Europe that Russia would have no one left to negotiate with. | ||
| Putin used the Russian word for war. | ||
| He also suggested that the war in Ukraine was not a full-blown war and that Russia was acting in a surgical manner which would not be repeated in a direct confrontation with European powers. | ||
| Today, you had Witkoff and Jared were there. | ||
| I put it up on social media on my Getter account with Putin that showed the introductory meetings. | ||
| And I just said, hey, finally, we're sitting down with the guys who won. | ||
| They won on the ground without massive U.S. weapons sales or actually given them weapons on many occasions. | ||
| Without huge infusions of cash, the Ukrainian people wouldn't, you know, they wouldn't be, they wouldn't be where they are today on the battlefield. | ||
| The thing would be long over, but they have almost 2 million casualties, dead and wounded, and the country looks like Dresden in 1945. | ||
| Somebody's got to become a realist there. | ||
| And I'm most disturbed by senior personnel. | ||
| And you should note, Marco Rubia was not in Russia today. | ||
| Just saying, it was Kushner and Witkoff were there with Putin across the table. | ||
| And any of this loose talk, and it is loose talk about us giving sovereignty guarantees to countries that have guys like Euromac running it. | ||
| He's now virtually in hiding, if not under arrest or heading to the front, right? | ||
| Because they now caught him red-handed with stealing, they say $100 million, but we know it's billions. | ||
| So, Taj, you've dedicated a big part of your life to being a patriot and going to serve your country on foreign battlefields. | ||
| Your assessment of Ukraine, particularly the situation where we're talking about security guarantees and given sovereignty, and you saw on Saturday, the president and Homan and the guys finally decided to go into New York City. | ||
| I mean, they went in first at the very first day of administration, but to have a show of force with ICE, now that Mandami, the Ugandan Marxist jihadist, is going to take over, they had an ICE raid. | ||
| And I mean, it wasn't one of these ones they plan on. | ||
| It was just kind of ICE guys going down into New York City on a Saturday during the holiday season, during the Christmas season, right? | ||
| The Saturday after Thanksgiving. | ||
| And man, it was a riot. | ||
| I mean, you had people throwing garbage cans at them. | ||
| And it was these people freaked out. | ||
| And I got to give a hat tip to the ICE agents for keeping your cool and just getting the job done. | ||
| But we don't have sovereign. | ||
| This proves we do not have sovereignty on New York City. | ||
| The global financial capital of the world and the most important city in this country. | ||
| And it's been the most important city virtually since the founding of the nation and the revolution. | ||
| I mean, Philadelphia for a while, Boston for a while, but it was always New York. | ||
| This is hundreds of years has been the most important city in our nation. | ||
| And now we don't control it. | ||
| Taj Gil, your thoughts and observations. | ||
| All right. | ||
| Where do I start? | ||
| I'll start with Putin. | ||
| Putin is basically crushed the Ukrainian military now since for the last couple of years. | ||
| No matter how much money, how much technology, how much manpower Ukraine throws out at this, Russia just keeps grinding them down. | ||
| That's a meat grinder. | ||
| It's a battle of attrition, and Ukraine is losing no matter what they do. | ||
| They're sending 14-year-olds to the front lines. | ||
| They signed something where they can send 65-year-old men to the front lines, and they still are losing. | ||
| Russia is just slowly inching forward one day at a time. | ||
| They're not doing anything big. | ||
| And now they've developed these new short-range ballistic missiles that have conventional warheads on them. | ||
| And there's no way we can shoot them down. | ||
| There's no way Ukraine can shoot them down. | ||
| And Europe just wants to keep this fight going and going and going. | ||
| Every time there's about to be a peace deal or peace negotiations, Zelensky does a crazy stunt. | ||
| You know, he bombed the Russian strategic bomber fleet. | ||
| They send sea drones into the Russian tankers. | ||
| They do something to sabotage it. | ||
| They do not want peace no matter what, because if there's peace, the spigot, the money spigot, gets turned off. | ||
| And you talk about ice raids. | ||
| Europe needs ICE raids. | ||
| Europe needs to close their borders. | ||
| If Europe wants to fight Russia, maybe they should start recruiting all these Muslim immigrants on the streets. | ||
| Europe has lost everything. | ||
| There's no more Europe anymore. | ||
| Europe is now an extension of Arabia and an extension of North Africa. | ||
| The whole European lineage is gone. | ||
| And they can, I don't think there's any way they can beat Russia. | ||
| Maybe if they have, if they use nukes or if they do it real quick, right out the gate. | ||
| But if not, then it's just going to be a battle of attrition, just like Ukraine and Russia. | ||
| That's where they live. | ||
| They live in the meat grinder. | ||
| They're going to just wear down the European troops. | ||
| This is the tragedy of Ukraine. | ||
| We said this on the eve of the war three years ago, now almost three and a half, almost four years ago, I guess. | ||
| That it's not about the courage and the valor of the Ukrainian people and their dedication. | ||
| They know it's a meat grinder. | ||
| It's one of the reasons the mothers and fathers have worked so hard to keep the young men out of it. | ||
| It's the reason that now they have 300,000 deserters that they're now searching through the European capitals on. | ||
| It is a meat grinder. | ||
| The Russian way of war, when you go to the bloodlines, is not fancy, right? | ||
| It's not fancy. | ||
| They got armor, they got artillery, and they got infantry. | ||
| And quite frankly, they're kind of indifferent to how much the infantry gets chewed up. | ||
| The Ukrainians have seen that. | ||
| And that's what's so amazing about them as a people. | ||
| But the reality is you're just not going to beat the Russian army. | ||
| And what's happening here is that more and more Ukrainians, I think the president said the other day, it's 25,000 casualty, 25,000 casualties between both sides a month. | ||
| One of the bloodiest years of the war has been this year. | ||
| It's not reported by the mainstream media. | ||
| You notice you don't see BBC and MSNBC. | ||
| Remember the first six months of this war, every night they were there, you were seeing all kinds of footage. | ||
| They don't show it anymore because the Ukrainians are getting pounded. | ||
| It's time to bring it to a close, but the Russians are going to kind of dictate some terms here because they won on the battlefield. | ||
| And if you don't believe it, just they'll keep going. | ||
| They'll just keep pounding. | ||
| And like I said, they haven't taken Odessa. | ||
| Their performance hasn't exactly been, you know, been startling. | ||
| I don't see back when I was in the service and in the Pentagon, we had all the concern about the Red Army coming across the Folda Gap and, of course, the North German plane. | ||
| I don't see that happening now with this army. | ||
| Hell, they couldn't even take parts of Ukraine. | ||
| I don't see them blowing through Poland and into Germany. | ||
| But the Europeans got to know they got to defend themselves. | ||
| The point, we can't be giving security guarantees and sovereignty guarantees in a part of the world where you have guys like Yermak in these governments and Zelensky making decisions. | ||
| That's an obligation of the American people. | ||
| That's an obligation of, look at these kids 10 years old today. | ||
| You know, in seven, eight, nine, 10 years, we could be backing some kind of corrupt Ukrainian government with these guys in Brussels that have basically turned their countries over to the Arabs and to the Muslims, right? | ||
| And they're our partners. | ||
| Brussels, 30% Muslim. | ||
| The Fifth Republic in France is about to fall because of finances. | ||
| The UK's got nothing. | ||
| They're going to have a civil war in the UK. | ||
| Those are supposed to be our partners. | ||
| They would be giving guarantees we depend upon it. | ||
| It'll all be the United States. | ||
| It'll be our blood, our treasure. | ||
| And that's why it's outrageous. | ||
| General Patton, General MacArthur, General Eisenhower, Field Marshal Montgomery, everybody said, even as crazy as Winston Churchill got about the Balkans, nobody would ever get involved in the war in World War II in the Bloodlands. | ||
| That was for the Russians and the Germans to pound it out. | ||
| And trust me, it is the bloodiest battles in world history. | ||
| All took place in that general area. | ||
| And the leaders of the American and Allied forces kept us out. | ||
| We cannot be giving sovereignty guarantees to a bunch of crooks. | ||
| That's what they are. | ||
| You're Max one of the great crooks out there. | ||
| Zelensky's a crook. | ||
| You're going to give a guarantee to a government like that. | ||
| And so when Marco Rubio says our number one thing down in Miami is to make sure the Ukrainian people know there'll never be another war. | ||
| Are you crazy? | ||
| For 5,000 years, they've been pounding each other, pounding each other. | ||
| Anyway, I know I had you on here. | ||
| I wanted to talk about that, but I really had you on here to talk about your great coffee. | ||
| You used to be a gunman. | ||
| Now you're a barista. | ||

| COSA sets a national standard to protect kids across America. | ||
| I made precise changes to ensure COSA is durable. | ||
| Don't mistake durability for weakness, folks. | ||
| This bill has teeth. | ||
| By focusing on design features, rather than protecting speech, we will ensure it can withstand legal challenge while delivering real protections for kids online. | ||
| The internet is not partitioned by state lines. | ||
| The current patchwork of state regulations creates confusion for both platforms and consumers. | ||
| A federal law must be strong and preemptive to ensure all American children have the same high level of protection. | ||
| As Congress considers new legislation, a threshold is to strike the right balance between the Constitution's protection of free expression and the governmental interest in youth safety. | ||
| Thus far, many online safety laws have failed to strike that balance. | ||
| Several states have proposed inherently content-based regulations requiring platforms to judge speech as harmful or detrimental. | ||
| These regulations trigger strict scrutiny, and courts have historically struck them down for being overbroad and infringing on the free expression of adults and minors, including content reflective of their own religious or political speech. | ||
| Young people, I want to thank the witnesses, but the panel is missing a parent. | ||
| There are many here today who could have testified. | ||
| You're missing a young person. | ||
| There are other young people here who could have testified. | ||
| You're missing a psychologist or a pediatrician and one of the many whistleblowers, former tech company employees to testify on these insidious schemes to addict and exploit children, even as tech company executives knew of the harm to kids. | ||
| So, Joe, you've been waiting for a while. | ||
| You're actually in the war room. | ||
| I'm going to toss it to you. | ||
| I want you to talk about first, we had a big victory today, and I want the war imposse still to go to Article 3, et cetera. | ||
| And then I want you to talk about your experience last night and then what you saw at this committee meeting today. | ||
|

|
Sir, the floor is yours. | |
| Well, Steve, definitely big cause to celebrate big win with the NDAA. | ||
| The moratorium language will not be in there. | ||
| I think you are absolutely correct to keep the posse vigilant. | ||
| There are a number of other avenues that this could creep back in, and Steve Scalise has expressed his intent to ensure that federal preemption will be the path for him and his cohort. | ||
| But we see here that the war imposse's voices are heard. | ||
| All of the congressmen and congresswomen who stood up, sent the letter to the all signed the letter in protest of the NDAA language. | ||
| I think the collective action has shown that people do make a difference. | ||
| You put your shoulder to the wheel, real change can happen. | ||
| But it comes with trade-offs. | ||
| And one of the trade-offs, Steve, with the NDAA is the Gain Act. | ||
| The Gain Act is most likely then going to be removed. | ||
| That would have protected U.S. interests in chip exports. | ||
| It would have given U.S. companies first priority in any sort of advanced, specifically artificial intelligence-based processing units. | ||
| It would appear that people like Jensen Wong, NVIDIA, they have gotten their way and at least at the moment will be free to export with the exception of China, but that is still up in the air. | ||
| So it comes with trade-offs. | ||
| That being said, I am super stoked and super proud of the War Room posse and everyone else across the aisle included who stood up and said that states have the right to determine their own future. | ||
| And I foresee the federalist approach to this being the one that wins out. | ||
| Something on Capitol Hill today shows us that the process of trying to create a federal framework is fraught for a number of reasons. | ||
| The House met today for a hearing. | ||
| The Commerce Committee met for a hearing to discuss the Kids Online Safety Act and a number of other, in fact, 19 bills intended to ensure that children are not exposed to any kind of harmful online content, at least if it's within control of the tech companies. | ||
| It's still up in the air. | ||
| You remember that COSA was introduced in 2022, so it's been floundering for years. | ||
| It's still floundering. | ||
| And as we heard from some of the people who were testifying and the representatives who were speaking on it, there is a huge argument about whether or not the liability should fall on the companies themselves. | ||
| So we heard a lot last night from Shelby Knox of Parents Together and others about the duty of care clause in COSA, which would have put the pressure on social media platforms, Google, any kind of search engine to ensure that if their platform, it's kind of like Section 230, | ||
| if their platform knowingly provided the access to children for predators or in the case of artificial intelligence, knowingly had chatbots who could, for instance, persuade children into suicide, then the liability would have fallen on the companies. | ||
| In the new defanged legislation, it basically dictates that the companies have to have reasonable policies and procedures in place to protect against violence, drugs being distributed to children, and other sorts of financial fraud and sexual exploitation. | ||
| But it doesn't really put, it doesn't leave room for true accountability, for true liability on the companies. | ||
| The companies simply have to have the policies in place. | ||
| It's then determined afterwards, even if harm is done, as in the case of the suicide, it's then determined whether or not the company simply had the policy. | ||
| It's not the harm itself. | ||
| It's being framed as a kind of free speech issue. | ||
| And I've heard from a number of conservatives, libertarian types and others, that if you put the liability on these tech companies, then you constrain the speech of citizens. | ||
| But it's interesting, Steve. | ||
| The main arguments for this, beginning in 2022, were coming from groups like the gay rights and advocacy groups who claimed that such policies, if dictated by Republicans, would mean that, in essence, people would not be able to speak to children about homosexual acts. | ||
| So it's not, in my opinion, I think that wherever this goes, if it ends in a place, anywhere close to where we are right now, where these platforms provide access to children for predators to exploit them, as we saw with the recent unsealing of documents for Meta, the suit against Meta and Alphabet and others. | ||
| If it's allowed to continue in this fashion, it's just going to continue to degrade the social fabric. | ||
| It's going to continue to expose children unnecessarily to this sort of poison. | ||
| It's going to leave these tech companies in position where they continue to profit from it. | ||
| And as AI becomes a kind of autonomous corruptor, it's just going to, we're going to see this landslide of decadence and basically social decay continue at the behest of these companies and with zero accountability. | ||
| Here's, help me through here because we're trying to work through these problems together. | ||
| There was a huge victory today on Capitol Hill that for the second time, ladies and gentlemen, the tech oligarchs with their running dogs on Capitol Hill tried to slip into a massive bill, a must-pass bill, because this is the authorization for the Defense Department. | ||
| This moratorium or what we refer to as AI amnesty, okay, which opened a Pandora's box of just madness and that was defeated by this audience and make sure you still go to Article 3 to load up, to build blasters, still, you know, it ain't over until it's over. | ||
| Just like in Tennessee, it's not going to be over until it's absolutely over. | ||
| So both of those are they should be victories. | ||
| They can be victories. | ||
| We just have to make sure we're closers on this. | ||
| What has happened, though, I think, in this discussion of parents' rights and concern for children, which is a big part of this, Mike Davis was talking about the four Cs and part of that is child protection. | ||
| What has come to light, particularly with the families of the ones who have been the suicide victims on chat, you saw last night when you were at the National Gary Art and you were interviewing these families and it's heartrendering. | ||
| Some of these stories are about the kids ordering fentanyl or something else, something that the algorithm got them and they were doing different behavior on Facebook or whatever. | ||
| And those algorithms are very powerful, the way they can drive you into things, right? | ||
| And that has to be dealt with. | ||
| And I think people are thinking through how it gets dealt with. | ||
| The artificial intelligence part of it, and although that is at the core also algorithmic, but the way that that interacts with people is a danger that's even as bad as all those families laid out about getting access to drugs, of being cyber-bullied, of all of a sudden being open because of the algorithms to depression, a two things, and led them to sites that talked about suicide, right? | ||
| Is different than this whole aspect of a bot or the agentic activity, the activity as a bot, as an agent in your life to lead people, and particularly young people, be informed. | ||
| That is, I think, a whole new set of horrors. | ||
| Having not really dealt with the first set, now we're layered onto a second set, which is much more sophisticated and much more dangerous. | ||
| That even adults who are quite stable probably couldn't even handle one of these bots talking you and luring you into something you didn't want to do or messing with you so much that you had what you call AI bot psychosis. | ||
| And I think that this has got to be addressed. | ||
| This is the complexity of this time. | ||
| And I tell people, we're in an inflection point in human history that so many of the decisions are going to have to make by young parents. | ||
| Do I enhance my children? | ||
| You know, do they need to get chipped to be competitive in the modern world, to get into Stanford? | ||
| Like, you know, I went to Stanford. | ||
| Do I need to get my children shipped? | ||
| Because now there's 100 million people trying to get into Stanford all over the world and take in more foreigners than Americans. | ||
| This whole thing about the agentic activity, these bots, is so scary. | ||
| And that has to be dealt with. | ||
| And I realize the administration's under tremendous pressure, the people on Capitol Hill, the companies. | ||
| But somehow we're just going to have to work through this. | ||
| And that's why it's just going to have to go in some sort of regular order. | ||
| This whole issue about the Chinese Communist Party, they keep holding our face over their head. | ||
| We need to cut them off with everything. | ||
| That has to be a priority. | ||
| We need to stop funding the Chinese, fueling the Chinese, selling them chips and all that. | ||
| And then if they can make the case, well, they're making their own chips, then you have to deal with it separately. | ||
| But until then, you've got to deal with these regulations, sir. | ||
| You know, Steve, last night you pointed out when we were speaking to the parents that the parents who had gathered there, their children had been lured by human beings via these online platforms. | ||
| And we know that into the mists of prehistory, that human beings have preyed on each other. | ||
| That's nothing new. | ||
| Human beings have preyed on children. | ||
| That's nothing new. | ||
| But the big difference between being able to access children online is it gives all of these new opportunities and windows and it gives a certain degree of cover. | ||
| Some weirdos hanging around the playground, you see them, you take care of them. | ||
| If it's online, it becomes something that's concealed. | ||
| With AI, as you had mentioned, it is a continuation of this. | ||
| But instead of having specific human beings that you can look at and look, this person is a predator. | ||
| This person is trying to harm a child. | ||
| You now have the potential for autonomous bots that clearly a solid number of children are easily enticed into interacting with. | ||
| And now it's autonomous. | ||
| They don't sleep. | ||
| They have the ability to read through the conversation, so to speak, that the child has had with the bot and to understand the child in a way that a human predator would. | ||
| And maybe, again, it's not as if open AI coded predatory behavior into it. | ||
| That's the real problem. | ||
| They can't keep it under control. | ||
| Artificial intelligence is a non-deterministic system. | ||
| It isn't easily controlled. | ||
| And so the question then becomes, okay, do we just do nothing? | ||
| Because that seems to be the libertarian argument for sure. | ||
| But even the preemption argument, it says, well, we need federal standards. | ||
| We need a federal framework to take care of this. | ||
| Well, with COSA, we see after three years, there's nothing. | ||
| They're still arguing over whether it's a free speech issue, whether it should be a policy and procedures issue, so on and so forth. | ||
| Doing nothing is not even remotely close to due diligence. | ||
| And it is ultimately up to each parent. | ||
| It's in some sense up to children to be wise, to be street-wise. | ||
| If you went to a town that was completely laissez-faire and anything goes, and there's literally no authority who can step in and say, Okay, no, this is predation. | ||
| It has to stop. | ||
| Well, I mean, then you end up in some kind of crazy, like Bangkok seedy neighborhood, right? | ||
| Nobody wants that in America. | ||
| And so something has to be done, either at the state or the federal level. | ||
| And right now, it's happening at the state level. | ||
| And so I think this, the striking of the moratorium language in the NDAA, it just is an absolute victory for anyone who's trying to shield children or adults from the worst effects of this. | ||
| But in the end, it's going to be a continual fight. | ||
| We might be at this for years. | ||
| And as far as the fight against this sort of transhumanist, post-humanist philosophy, well, this is a lifelong fight. | ||
| But these victories show you that it's not a fruitless fight. | ||
| It's not a fight in vain. | ||
| People can and will win. | ||
| And I have full faith, as I oftentimes say, Steve, that enough of us will make it. | ||
| No, I think it's pretty evident now because the House, these guys are not leaders. | ||
| They're followers. | ||
| There is such an overwhelming blowback on this happening again within 60 days. | ||
| Today, Scalise said, and Rogers said, hey, this is not the right vehicle. | ||
| They knew it wasn't the right vehicle when they started it. | ||
| If they could slid it in, there would have been the right vehicle. | ||
| But because people blew back on it, it wasn't. | ||
| I think that was so, so powerful of this audience. | ||
| I want everybody still to go to Article 3 or go over to Bill Blaster, get all the information. | ||
| You should still be lighting people up until the NDAA is absolutely voted on and has nothing to do with AI amnesty. | ||
| I know you got to bounce real quickly. | ||
| What was the vibe in the room? | ||
| Last night, I got to tell you, that was very powerful what you did with those parents last night with the photos of their children and the stories, and the people from the Parents Association, Cox or Knox, who was so articulate about what she's fighting for. | ||
| What was the buzz in the room today? | ||
| You know, the House hearing is just a matter of arguing over the fine details. | ||
| The parents are there. | ||
| They're looking right at them. | ||
| As Kathy Castor, who's a Democrat and a lib on it to the nth degree, noted that the parents weren't invited to speak. | ||
| The parents weren't there testifying. | ||
| Instead, you had trade association types and others who, by and large, did not carry the same potency as a real life story. | ||
| Again, I think that it just shows you that as they're floundering for years to determine, well, what do you do about online platforms that are allowing for mass child trafficking and exploitation? | ||
| What do you do about AI bots that just overtly lure kids into self-destructive behavior? | ||
| Well, you argue about it. | ||
| And meanwhile, bereaved parents are watching in frustration. | ||
| And parents whose children are still alive and parents who are extremely concerned about them can't look to the government for any assistance. | ||
| It's strictly up to them and their communities. | ||
| I think that it just shows that the real power is in the hands of the people who are making the choices. | ||
| And to the extent that any state apparatus is going to protect people, it should probably be decentralized. | ||
| It should probably be specific to the places and the people that are intended to be protected. | ||
| And so, in places like Florida, in places like California, you're going to have very different approaches to this, but at least there is the freedom, so to speak, to restrict these tech companies and hold them liable. | ||
| As for the parents, though, Steve, last night, that was, it was really, really rattling to look into their eyes and hear the stories, but also see that frustration that they feel like they're pouring all this energy into this and nothing is being done for them by the federal government. | ||
| But I do believe that with the striking of the language in the NDAA, they also had a huge victory today. | ||
| Huge. | ||
