Your take.

Yeah, so I think a couple of things need to happen.

Everyone who pushed this war to the president publicly and privately, everyone who told him that it was going to be quick, it was going to be easy, it was just going to be like Venezuela, gas prices wouldn't go up, everyone would love it, it would be over by...

April or then June or then August, those people need to be banned from ever setting foot in the White House ever again.

So whether that's advisors in the White House or people outside the White House, they need to be gone.

I'm reminded in 2006, which was a very similar election to this one, unpopular war, second term president down in the polls.

You know, the war ends up dragging down the entire Republican Party.

basically turned they flipped and they voted democrat because of namely the war but it was not because of immigration it was because of the economy it was because of a sense of corruption within the admin it was it was a it was because of gas prices and the war all of those linked it really

Sean, what do you make of this kind of obviously finger pointing, people want to see accountability, your take?

Yeah, so I think a couple things need to happen.

Everyone who pushed this war to the president publicly and privately, everyone who told him that it was going to be quick, it was going to be easy, it was just going to be like Venezuela, gas prices wouldn't go up, everyone would love it, it would be over by April or then June or then August, those people need to be banned from ever setting foot in the White House ever again.

So whether that's advisors in the White House or people outside the White House, they need to be gone.

I'm reminded in 2006, which was a very similar election to this one, unpopular war, second-term president, down in the polls.

The war ends up dragging down the entire Republican Party.

The next morning, the morning after the election, Donald Rumsfeld resigned, the defense secretary.

All of those linked

Yeah,

so we're called to love what God loves and hate what God hates.

So God obviously hates sin.

And there's a reason he hates sin because it's incompatible with him.

You can't be sinful... and be in his presence.

That's why we had to have Christ take the sin upon him, become sin for us, and die, that our sins might be forgiven through him, that we might one day be reconciled to God.

So God hates evil, and he calls us to hate evil.

And I think, sadly, it's not been a big priority in a lot of states to make that happen.

Sean, um, do you think that, like, Anthropic are saying these things because they are trying to hedge their bets so they don't get eaten alive by the Terminator?

Yeah, I think a couple things are going on, and I can't figure out which one, maybe it's both.

One is I worry, uh, that, that Anthropic may not have the profit margins that they thought they were gonna have.

That's what it is.

And then the other one is, um, what if it's just not that good? I mean, for example, I would love to believe in the promise of AI.

It keeps auto-correcting texts to my friends, and I promise you I have never called a friend ducking regarded.

That's, that's closing the loophole in New York.

Yeah, it's, it's total madness, and they give the game away by not, uh, trying to defend any of the men who under this new standard are clearly every bit, uh, the victim as the woman was because if you can't consent while you're inebriated, then nobody there consented.

And so then the question becomes, well, I guess who is the instigator? Who is the aggressor? And, and within, embedded within this, uh, are some truths about humanity that, that we all understand, but for a long time have pretended to not understand.

And it's that men are stronger and women are weaker.

Often you'll heard, h- hear them referred to as the weaker sex.

It's not meant to be insulting or anything.

It's just, it's an objective truth.

And I'm sorry, but I, I have no idea whether this young woman listened to Alex Cooper, but her generation is, and this is a new, only even more vile Sex and the City-type message about empowerment, Sean, that will leave the young women who take it alone, ashamed, and as this woman wrote, in tears all day when the actual consequences of that behavior come back to haunt them.

But how do you feel about now the Federalist is swept up in this whole Jack Smith affair and then hearing from Democrats from left is saying, oh, the Trump administration is weaponizing justice and they're destroying the First Amendment.

Well, yeah, I find it hilarious.

I mean, CNN has been on the fainting couch for a week because they're not allowed in to traipse into the Oval Office whenever they feel like it.

They don't have a red carpet rolled out to them to get on Air Force One.

I've never been on Air Force One.

I've never had a White House pass.

Somehow I managed to do my job.

Do you believe that this should be exhibit A as to why this fund is so important?

Have you been booked on CNN or MSNOW? Or has Politico called you to stand

beside you in this? No, oddly enough, and they never said a word in our defense when the Biden administration explicitly, according to their own admission, were trying to bankrupt us and drive us out of business because they didn't like what we were reporting about what the corrupt DOJ and FBI and Biden admin were doing.

And it's fascinating to watch CNN, to watch little Caitlin Collins, have a total his fit, a total temper tantrum because she can't be on Air Force One and she can't just traipse around the White House doing glam shots, pretending to be a reporter.

Somehow that's an assault on the First Amendment.

You know, Caitlin Collins can't get on Air Force One.

But when we have the federal government spying on the Federalist, when we have the federal government trying to shut down the Federalist and conservative reporters, CNN is nowhere to be found.

And that's because CNN is actually not a news organization.

But what would be the what would be the content? What would be the purpose of Jack Smith taking all your communications? Like what like what would be the how would a judge allow him to do that?

Sean?

Yeah.

So I, I actually think it's a big- a much bigger issue than that.

And, and look, there are, among certain segments on the right, um, we'll call them boomer cons.

They're generally wonderful people.

My parents are boomer cons.

My in-laws, they're like the nicest, most wonderful people on earth.

Your final thoughts here, last minute, Sean Davis.

What's your issue here?

Yeah, the policy is great.

The message is great.

I have some questions about how and why Brad was picked as the stereotypical welfare recipient.

It's not a great time to be a strapping young white dude in America.

Trust me, I know.

For decades, the white man has been systematically discriminated against, locked out of jobs.

Sean?

But you see an insincerity there?

Well, I'm a big fan of trust but verify.

And what I've seen a lot of from the AI guys is sharing these horror stories of agents that went rogue and got loose.

All right, show me the prompts you were using.

Have you noticed they're not doing that? They're not showing you the prompts.

They're not showing you the code.

They're just saying, hey, trust us that these things went crazy.

You think Steve Jobs would ever ask for that?

Your thoughts.

Uh, I'm just sick and tired of the pretense and the lying and, and the hypocrisy.

Okay, none of those people, uh, went on a boycott when, uh, The Federalist and the Daily Wire were targeted for literal destruction by the Biden administration.

Not one of them.

And what's actually...

And it's because they don't actually care about the First Amendment.

This is about themselves getting on camera.

We're terrible.

Your thoughts.

There is no... group of bigger preeners and egomaniacs than your average white house correspondents they don't care about the precious freedom of the press they don't care about the first amendment earth constitution they care about getting their stupid faces on television every day and when they're not allowed in the white house it makes it harder for them to preen and primp and pretend like they're the actual stars of the show rather than people who are just there to cover it So I just say I have no patience for their nonsense.

We're terrible.

But Sean, what do you make of all of these AI tech titans now screaming bloody murder that this thing's running off the rails, it's gonna erase humanity, give us at least a 10% chance in the next decade?

Yeah, it's, it's been remarkable to watch.

I, I will just say I'm not an AI doomer, nor am I one of these AI triumphalists.

I kind of just look at AI as, like, a potentially very cool tool, uh, that can be used by people who know how to use it.

Um, you know, I think we've all read the exact same sci-fi books.

Uh, we've read Asimov.

We've all seen The Paperclip Game, so, like, we all kind of get theoretically the, the notion that AI could take over the world.

Uh, do you have any thoughts on that theory?

What is an American, you know?

Yeah, it's interesting.

So American, it's more than an idea.

Obviously, America is a discrete place with a discrete people.

It's more than just a culture.

It's more than just an ethnicity.

Although I do very much believe American is an ethnicity.

Or in American history, honestly.

And yeah jd's approach is probably going to be more successful he's still in a tough spot though

Yeah, the data center thing, it's really interesting.

I get the arguments for it, that we're not going to stop using computers.

AI is not going to regress.

The demand for computing power is just going to increase.

And I don't think there's anyone who disagrees with that.

So the computing power is going to have to come from somewhere.

So

So what is it as a first step?

Yeah.

Y Combinator is a Silicon Valley-based left-wing incubator and venture capital fund.

Basically, you come in as a startup, they give you some money, they take a big chunk of your ownership, they take control of your board, and if it works well, you end up getting bigger, and you end up getting sold, and you make a lot of money, and America's better as a result.

Um, unfortunately, this company whi- which was initially founded by a total left-wing, uh, midwit, uh, ha- has been taken over by a bunch of anti-American, uh, Looney Tunes, many of them, uh, foreigners.

And, uh, a lot of them have been letting their freak flags fly on social, trashing America, trashing flyover country, saying how, uh, superior everyone else is to us.

And there's a real irony in this because, um, if America was as bad as they say, if flyover country was as awful as they say, and all these other countries and cultures were so much superior They wouldn't need to be here.

Sean, your, your take.

Am I missing something? No, you're

not.

And that's not the only one.

They have, I believe, scores of companies that are just AI or algorithm driven apps or whatever that exist to just bring in labor.

They take a cut off the top.

They're monetizing immigration into the U.S.

The head of Y Combinator right now is a guy named Gary Tan.

Sean, your take.

Your thoughts, Sean Davis, uh, founder and, uh, publisher of The Federalist, sir.

Yeah, when I saw the details yesterday about it, I, I had the same, uh, reaction.

I thought, "This is a joke." The company just last year, uh, had $200 billion in revenue, so you're looking at a $17 billion, uh, settlement over 10 years.

You're looking at maybe one and a half, uh, billion a year spread across 47 different states plus, plus DC and Puerto Rico, I think.

It's a total joke, and it's not just that Facebook, uh, preys on children and tries to get them addicted and, and gets them to do awful things on their platform.

Uh, look at what Facebook has done in the past to the, to the n- not just kids, but to the nation.

They were a part of the, uh, uh, global censorship industrial complex pushed by Biden.

W- first off, in a courtroom, we should go through and present all of their criminal activities, don't you agree, Sean? Let's g- let's just get the facts out in a court of law and see what monsters they are and how they've known about this for years and went o- out of their way to kinda hide it as they preyed upon, uh, kids, sir.

I thought, "This is a joke." The company just last year, uh, had $200 billion in revenue.

So you're looking at a $17 billion, uh, settlement over 10 years.

You're looking at maybe $1.5 billion a year spread across 47 different states plus, plus DC and Puerto Rico, I think.

It's a total joke, and it's not just that Facebook, uh, preys on children and tries to get them addicted and, and gets them to do awful things on their platform.

great messaging discipline, yeah.

No, like find ways to meet people where they are.

I cannot tell you the number of people I talk to, whether they are new college graduates, whether they're in their 30s or whether they're approaching their 50s, saying, man, I don't remember life being this hard.

I don't understand why I have to have a two-earner family, each earning six figures, and we're still having a hard time paying for college.

Used cars, by the way, cost like $15,000 to $20,000 now.

OK, groceries are expensive to look at that and just say, no, actually, everything's fine and you're dumb.

And your problem is you use DoorDash too much.

But what are some of the big stories to keep an eye out heading into fall that perhaps we're not thinking about just yet?

Other, other women that-

It's like, I, I'm, I'm not having a national conversation about postpartum depression or hormones or whatever because some freaking evil demonic psychopath strangled her kids, okay? She needs to be hanged or electrocuted or shot or whatever.

She's a psychopath.

She's unrepentant, by the way, which is why we're even having this trial.

Um, she doesn't want to deal with the consequences of what she did.

And when people, by the way, are claiming they're too insane to know that murder is wrong, what they're actually saying is they're too insane to be allowed to continue living, uh, in any sort of society, whether it's in prison or without.

Like, this idea that insanity is somehow, like, a, uh, a mitigating thing, no, if you're too insane to know it's wrong to strangle each of your children one by one, you don't get to live anymore.

[laughs]

[laughs]

Uh, when you say the American dream, what, what are the two or three things that you believe, uh, in r- in a rank order, are the things that have destroyed the American dream or access for these younger generations to get access to it? And then I'll ask you for solutions on the other side, but just give me the, the two or three drivers of the crushing of the American dream.

Yeah, so I think number one is mass immigration, both legal and illegal.

We're importing replacement level numbers of immigrants to do jobs that Americans once did, and it's because their governments are subsidizing them to come in, work at below market wages, and box out the American workers.

So that's number one.

Number two is this insane DEI diversity infrastructure that's been placed throughout government and corporate America that says, "Uh, you gotta have rainbow people.

If your skin's not the right color, we don't want you.

You, you need to have a certain amount of diversity points to come work here, regardless of your abilities and capabilities." Um, so that's number two.

Aren't they taken care of?

You wrote, I think it was on Friday or Saturday, "We can't save the American Dream by pretending everything is just fine." And the sub-headline is, "Our country lives or dies based on how we address the very real problems that have put the American Dream far out of reach for most people." What are you talk- I thought everything was great, uh, Sean, what are you talking about?

Well, yeah, there's, there's actually a big divide in the country.

It, it's both a, a wealth divide and a generational divide.

There is a segment of the country who grew up when the American Dream was available for everyone.

If they worked hard, if they made good decisions, they could do well, they could raise a family, they could own a home, and things were great.

And unfortunately, that's really not been the case for at least one, potentially even two generations of people in this country, uh, for the last 20 to 30 years.

I- if you talk to or know anyone who has come out of college in the last five or 10 years, you'll understand this.
