And now they can barely even read and write when they graduate.

Well, we have to remember the public schools were started by the elites back in the late 1900s under, you know, John Dewey and some other progressive people like that.

And the whole point of the public schools was social control.

And the idea that anywhere along the way we were going to learn the principles of freedom or the Constitution or civics, that's not what they had in mind.

They had in mind people that would be docile and obey.

And that's essentially what we have in our school system now.

They succeeded.

You don't want to be caught on camera.

Tell me where we land on this from your opinion.

Well, I think there are a lot of agendas at work here.

And one of them, of course, is Anthropix.

And its CEO, Dario Amadei, is interested very much in seeing regulatory regime that would favor his company, Anthropix.

And so he has actually been mounting a scare campaign about AI for almost three years now and had lots of dire predictions, some of which have come true.

Most of them have not.

And The play here for him is that if Anthropic can work out a regulatory arrangement right now, it would favor the big companies who are in the lead.

A prediction of of how how much we reap the ROI on all this investment that we're currently seeing in A.I.

One naval ship has been hit since the beginning of the war.

Well, they're claiming they're firing him.

I don't know whether we believe even that.

It's astonishing.

I saw a piece on X last week where somebody had gone on to, I think, rock or Claude, or one of the AI databases, and started pushing it really hard, saying, okay, so tell me what's really going on with Iran and what's happening with the military victory or defeat and whatever.

And it was an incredible analysis that...

At first, Grok came back, and, you know, Grok's pretty liberal.

Yeah, so what is that old saying? The economists have predicted five out of the last two recessions, right?

I read that somewhere.

Well, I don't think that was him.

Maybe he did use the number.

But the thing that made this go viral was his boss at— Anthropic came in and weighed in and he agreed.

He said, well, I think there's over 10% chance that humanity could be destroyed by AI within the next decade.

Well, that's pretty precise.

And when you've got somebody at that level in the company... agreeing, well, you got to pay attention.

I don't know how you view him and kind of people like him.

What's your take on what's going on?

Well, I don't think there's been a harder time to follow what's going on if you think about Iran.

I mean, we've got nonstop communication from our side, from Trump, and, you know, his messages change every half hour.

And I'm a Trump supporter, but I think he's over-communicating.

And, you know, I don't think anybody's...

Very few people are reporting on the fact that Iran is a massive country and massive and mountainous and, you know, it's called...

The mountains are taller than those in Switzerland.

I'm all for it, but isn't it a fact that most of these programs shouldn't really even exist to be defrauded in the first place? Yeah.

windmills and solar.

Chinese built windmills, Chinese built solar panels.

And of course, China, two coal plants a week.

They're the largest carbon emitter in the world.

And interestingly, at this conference, they had the biggest pavilion.

And they had the largest delegation, except for the delegation from Brazil, which, of course, since it was hosted in Brazil, you would expect.

So China has become, in our absence, the leading advocate for readjusting the world economy, but not the Chinese economy.

up.

And I don't know if he can get it done in the next three years because you're talking about decades and decades of past presidents, members of Congress, pretty much putting us in bed with China and screwing over the American worker and businessman as far as I look at it.

Well, I think you gave a pretty good summary.

The thing about China is that they're the only economy in the world that's even close to ours.

And it's become that size largely thanks to what we've done for them over the last three or four decades.

You know, Henry Kissinger opened up a relationship with China back when Nixon was president.

And since then...

There have been all sorts of American institutions, policymakers, universities, corporations that have all sort of plunged into the China trade.

How do you stop that in today's technological world where they control most of the technology or how we make it, or like you just said, the minerals to make it?
