It is Verticwa Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. It's really nice to have you with us as we've got a lot to discuss on today's show, including AI and the race with China . Well, we're discussing how big money tries to manipulate you and how it tries to manipulate your life. We start with the question of AI. We know there's quite a bit of foreign money that is devoted to propaganda that is devoted to espionage of Americans and is devoted to trying to convince us to go down lines that are harmful to America . You look at the anti Semitic protests on college campuses, those were funded, I believe, by Qatar, by Iran, and by China. Well, a bombs hell new report came out that links how a Chinese Marx nonprofit headed by a billionaire who hates America is spending millions and millions of dollars trying to convince Americans to hate AI, to be scared of AI to stop develop ing AI. Obviously, if America slows down AI here, the winner of that is communist China. We're going to break that down in detail right now. Yeah, it's a really amazing story, and we're going to have that for you in a moment. I also want to talk to you about how you can have a massive impact right now with protecting the lives of unborn children all over the country . And you're proud to stand up for the rights of unborn children . Then you need to know about an organization called Americans United for life. Now, they are a nonprofit law firm, an advocacy group. They were founded in nineteen seventy one. That was two years before Roe established the constitutional right to an abortion before fetal viability . They have been fighting ever since to protect the lives of unborn babies. Now this pro life group shapes laws nationwide. That's why I want you to know about them. They are a major player in creating pro life legislation, and that's how we win. Americans United for life, they offer states model bills that can adapt and be adopted in full in their state depending on what their laws are because every state is different . For over fifty years, Americans United for Life has filed more than two hundred legal briefs and help create at least four hundred pro life bills over forty states by writing this model legislation . They also consult with state legislators about what they can do and how to defend their own laws and other pro life statutes in court and that is where your help is needed. Right now, because of Roe V Wade coming down, it's a state's rights issue, meaning every state is different and every state is having different laws that are needing to be done to protect life. That is where you come in and we're asking for your help. You've got an opportunity to overturn pro abortion laws and advanced pro life legislation that attack the most vulnerable in our societ y . And together , we can shape the future of our nation through life affirming legislation in every state. So what am I asking you to do? Give a gift of just twenty five dollars . That helps hold abortion providers accountable. It also helps protect women and unborn children across the country . And now through a match, your twenty five dollars gift is doubled . So if you want to help save lives all over the nation , do it now. Donate at AUL dot org slash verdict. That's AUL dot org slash Verdict sponsored by Americans United for Life. So Senator, let's talk about AI explain AI in general and the technology and the infrastructure needed for AI. AI has become and is just taking over in different ways. It's changing the way you study. It's changing the way that schools are being run. It's changing the way business is being done. It's changing the way laws being done. Almost everybody I know in every sector is now depend ing on AI significantly as a tool . And if you are a foreign government, this is a powerful tool to then get in the minds and the hearts of people not just in the US but around the world with propaganda because if you ask AI a question and then it comes back a little bit skewed anti XY or Z, whatever you want it to be against, you can then change people's minds through AI , that is part of the reason why this race with AI with China is so vitally important . Well, AI is changing how all of us live our lives. It is making human beings much, much more productive in their j obs. It is enabling you to carry out tasks in a fraction of the time they would have taken you previously. Now, there's a lot of understandable and quite reasonable fear about AI, about the massive change that AI will produce. People have concerns about their jobs. Will their jobs still be there? Will they still be needed or are they going to be replaced by an AI ? Right now we've seen a lot of instances of AI making people more effici ent and more productive. In some instances, companies are hiring more workers because with AI the productivity is so great that it they end up needing more people to handle that additional productivity, but it is still rapidly changing. It is rapidly evolving, and it is unknown. And fear of the unknown is a very natural, reasonable response. We are also facing and we've talked about this on the pod before , in my judgment, the single most important economic question facing the United States today is who wins the race for AI? Does America win it or does China win it? Somebody's going to win it. There is going to be an answer. In five, ten years, we will know the answer to that . Right now, America is ahead. We are ahead probably six months. I ask tech leaders all the time. The answer varies. It varies anywhere from three months ahead to as much as a year ahead. But I'd say the most typical answer I get from a tech leader is that we're about six months ahead but six months is what does that mean when you say we're ahead? Explain the is that logistics? Is that building sites? Is that towns that are? Yes, yes, yes. Allowing for the AI computers. What does that exactly mean? We are developing faster chips than the Chinese have. We also have export controls in place so they don't get our fastest chips. We're building data centers and then we are also writing programs, the various AI programs that use those chips to reason to we're building compute and then they're doing inference, they're doing reason and learning and we're teaching these models . All of those processes are iterative and we are ahead of them ahead of them with faster chips, with data centers with compute and with inference, but it's not a huge lead. Now China is well aware that it matters enormously who wins. Whoever wins that r ace , the result is going to be trillions and trillions of dollars of investment and millions of jobs. And so we want those jobs in America. We don't want those jobs in China. We want to have them here. But even more important ly, the results of that , whatever country wins, their values will suffuse AI. If China wins, if the world adopts Chinese AI , it means that that AI will embrace the Chinese values of surveillance, of espionage of propaganda, of social control, social scores using AI to try to control your life. We would much rather have free market values of America govern AI, things like free speech, individual choice. Now, look, tech companies will still be bad actors. Tech companies have been bad actors from almost the very beginning, but I'd much rather be taking on the excesses of tech companies rather than a communist government engaged in central control. And so I think when it comes to economic questions, there is none that matters more than who wins the race to AI. There was an interesting example of this from a tech executive that I talked to a couple months back and we dumblock, we were sitting in the green room together getting ready for TV and he was talking about AI and I said , you When talk about this race, how would you describe it? He described it in a very interesting way. He said there was a race decades ago between VHS and Beta. Exactly. And he said there was not going to be two that coexisted. One was going to win and one was going to lose. All right, Ben, Ben, Ben, I want to interrupt you in the story. This is where I need to remind you , you're getting to be an old fark too . We have a lot of people who listen to our show who are teenagers or twenty something's, and you know what? They have no idea what a VHS or a beta is. So for the sake of our younger listeners, could you tell them what a VHS and beta is and then please continue with your story? Is this thing that used you to get it block buster, which also doesn't exist anymore. And it was how you watched the movie before you just ordered it on your TV and did it direct, right? Remember like those DVDs and Blu Ray? It was the generation before DVDs and' it was, V HS, which was kind of a longer tape. There was a beta, which was kind of short and stubby, and there was a fight over which one was going to control the marketplace. And so what he said was by the way, the reason one controls is it becomes the standard. It becomes just what everyone uses . You know, think of it like the shape of a plug. Like once something is set the standard, that becomes what everyone uses. In this instance, you had people bought VHS recorders, recorders that would play video cassettes and you could record your TV. And this was a new thing in the seventies and eighties and the VHS tapes were bigger. The betamax tapes were smaller, betamax was Sony was the one that came up with with Betamax . And most of the techies said Betamax was a better technology. Yeah. TV TV channels, they did almost everything on beta. They were like the lone user in movies. Like companies did everything and they recorded on beta because it was better, higher quality, but VHS won the war and that was the standard. You couldn't go and run a movie in Beta and VHS at Blockbuster. They were all VHS they won and he described he said he said, I am so worried about China as he described being the VHS and America being Beta because once you are pushed out, you're not going to get back in. And so we better as he described it win now because then as you mentioned, it's not just winning, it's then the control you have after you win, which is the most powerful thing for China and propaganda . But by the way, we see this in a very real illustration in the difference between , let's say , Twitter or X and TikTok. TikTok, when it was owned and controlled by the Chinese government, its output was markedly different. TikTok was pushing propaganda. It was pushing anti American propaganda, it was pushing communist propaganda, it was pushing anti capitalist propaganda. It was pushing anti Israel propaganda and pro Palestinian propaganda. And you looked at the numbers , it was I don't have the data right in front of me on this, but it was something like a hundred X more likely that you would get anti Israel or anti American propaganda on TikTok than you would on another social media platform. That's the same sort of thing except with an AI it's someone using it to write a paper, learn about a topic and having China be able to control what we are learning and really what reality is, what we understand as reality is profoundly dangerous . Yeah, it is. So when you look at this moving forward, what is it that Americans need to understand and what do they need to be advocating for? There's also infrastructure here , which has become a really intense local issue as well because with this technology, with this computing, there is a strain on the grid. It needs to be built differently in these areas. We need to be advocating for that and not be afraid of it as well . Well, look, one thing that folks ought to be aware and one of the great things, listeners of verdict, you guys are informed and engaged citizens . You take seriously learning issues. You don't listen to a show like verdict unless you want to know what's really going on. Now, I am going to guess that our listeners, probably sixty percent to seventy percent of you have very serious concerns about AI. Why am I guessing that? Because almost every single poll in America shows that Americans about sixty to seventy percent have very serious concerns about AI. Those concerns are not irrational, or many of them are not. I have concerns about AI. That's perfectly rational . What you should be aware is that there is a concerted effort to convince you to have those concerns and the Chinese communists are putting real money. Their objective is for that sixty to seventy percent to become eighty percent to ninety percent and for the concerns to drive you to want to shut down AI. That's their objective. Let me talk about this report that just was released . This is from the Free Beacon. Notorious China based American Mogul is running shadowy influence campaign to undermine U . S. AI efforts, give communist China an edge in technology arms race. A Shanghai based American expatriate who works hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party is using a network of American nonprofits to foment and amplify American opposition to artificial intelligence and the data centers that power it in a bid to propel China past the U. S. in the technological arms race . A report from the Bitcoin Policy Institute reveals that for the past five years , nonprofit organizations funded by the tech mogul Neville Roy Singham churning out papers , opposing export controls on advanced semiconductors to China, newsletters that quote CCP officials lambasting America's approach to the technological arms race and articles characterizing US data centers as fronts in the quote new Cold War on China . Several lawmakers cited a report when calling on the administration to investigate, including Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton , who sent a letter to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche asking for an investigation into quote foreign influence efforts targeting the build out American AI infrastructure. Quote Neville Singham has ties to the Chinese Communist Party, so it's no surprise he's pushing anti American policies through fake nonprofits , Cotton told the Free Beacon. The Department of Justice should launch a full investigation into this attempt to undermine America's prosperity. I very much agree DOJ should investigate this and fully do everything possible to stop this foreign influence operation . Yeah . A sprawling twenty twenty three New York Times investigation identified Singham who sold his technology consulting company ThoughtWorks in twenty seventeen for seven hundred eighty five million dollars as the source of quote a global web of Chinese propaganda . This singam is spending hundreds of millions of dollars using technology , trying to influence you , trying to influence you to oppose AI, to oppose data centers. By the way, we're seeing the far left . So both Bernie Sanders and AOC have introduced legislation that would ban new data centers in America. Yeah , where the far left. And what was there logic behind that proof that maybe weren't watching this? Because it is really shocking. I understand where they're getting bought off from. It's China and Chinese influence. But what was the logic of why we should ban them in the whole country . All right, let's talk data centers for a minute , which is different people have different views on data centers and the two main complaints that are raised about data centers are power usage and water usage. And I hear those a lot . On the power side , I have advised almost every single tech CEO . If you're building a data center and you need to operate from a rule of thumb that you are net negative power usage. What do I mean by that? If you're going to build a data center , build power production facilities so that you are generating more power than you are using . What that means is when a data center goes into a community , the effect on the people's electricity bills is not going to be that they go up . But instead if the companies are doing this right, their electricity bill should go down because the data center will be adding more power to the grid rather than taking power from the grid. It's not a hundred percent that the data centers are doing this, but many if not most of them are doing this now. They're following through on it. President Trump likewise signed an executive order called for this in a state of the Union address . That address is one of the biggest concerns the other big concern that Ben that people raise is water actually just this week was at a political gathering and a woman, a conservative came up to me and she said, I'm really, really worried about all of the water usage from these data centers. This is hurting us. And I responded to her, and I tried to respond gently, but I said I said , look, I understand that concern and I'm certainly concerned about water, water matters in Texas. It's needed obviously for farmers and ag and cities and development oil and gas. We need water . I said, you should know that virtually every data center that is being built today is built being using what's called closed loop cooling. And that means you have some water and you just recirculate the same water over and over and over again , which means the data center uses almost no water. I think in today's data center, I believe it is the case that they use more water in their toilets for their employees just using the bathroom than they actually use for their cooling system because it's all a closed loop system. It used to be like my computer. I have a fast, fast computer. They put in the water cooling system. I don't ever have to have water to it. It just keeps cycling through over and over again . And by the way, the first generation of data centers, this was right. The first generation they used an open loop cooling system where they were putting freshwater into it over and over. So the early data centers were consuming a lot of water . That being said , part of the propaganda that China is pushing is going into a community and trying to convince them, oh, if there's a data center, your power is going to go through the roof and you're not going to have the water you need. And that is based on deliberate false information . But the thing about Chinese communists, they lie . Yeah . By the way, do you know who Singham's wife is ? Who is that ? Singham's wife is the head of Coke Code Pink, the left wing protest organization. And that's all you need to know. The ones wore the pink hats during during yeah, during the Meat two movement and went after anyone they didn't like politically . They are and they're they're on Capitol Hill all the time. They attack his wife's name is Jodie Evans and she's the head of CodePink . And they push actively through these American non profits Anti American propaganda, anti capitalist propaganda, and they're also putting hundreds of millions of dollars into trying to convince you to be afraid of AI. Here I'm going to give you an interest ing stat. In twenty twenty three , sixty nine percent of Virginians supported construction of new data centers . Then April of this year, what do you think the number fell to? What was it? thirty five percent . And that's only because of a campaign that you can get that big of a switch. Like I mean that's a that's a massive switch, which means massive propaganda coming into your mind from people that say we want to influence you. By the way, I will say Texas, thankfully has done better on this front. We're having a lot of data centers built in Texas. And I keep saying bring them all if these idiots, if Bernie Sanders wants to shut down every data center in Vermont, knock yourself out. You people are crazy. AOC can chase them out of New York. Spamberger can chase them out of Virginia. Every blue state that says we don't want data centers. Texas will take a ball. Ay, we got a tutel land. You're not going to fill up West Texas. You can keep building and building. We've got land as far as the eye can see . Power is a challenge , but there's no state in the country that understands power better than Texas. We keep building new power generation capability and with every data center coming in, we're building more power generation capability and Texans like look, you come in initially you get a bunch of construct ion jobs to come in and build these data centers. Those are these are not you've been to these data centers. I've been to one. Let's explain how big they are from a job mass perspective as well. Look, they're they're massive, huge, huge warehouses that you're building that are then filled with racks and racks of computers, computers that are running and they're being cooled, typically with closed loop water, keeping them cool. They consume a lot of power. It's just kind of racks and racks of computers that are running computed. As you produce more, you get more and more computing capability . That means you need number one on construction , everyone you need to construct a big indust rial facility to pour concrete, to put the walls up, to put in air conditioning, to put in power, to put in plumbing, to put in to build the racks, to put install the computer. So you need construction workers, blue collar jobs Those are typically high paying jobs, good construction jobs . You then need more specialized electricians and computer technies to install the computers to build the racks, to set them up, to connect all the c ords, make the do hickey connect to the what you call it like those tech jobs you can tell this is my expertise . And then once it's built, the data setters have ongoing jobs , not as many. There are more construction jobs than ongoing jobs in the data center, but there are still a significant number of ongoing jobs in the data center to maintain the computers, to keep the operation working . And you also have things. You have janitors, you have you have security guards, you have all sorts of jobs that you need just with any large endeavor . The point is every data center you're building, you are bringing good high quality jobs to Texas and so Texas is happy to have them . I just hope that the blue state politicians don't destroy their own states by becoming effectively vessels for communist propaganda . Your faith runs deep, deeper than the words on the page and somewhere in the back of your heart, you've always known there was a place where it would all make sense in a way nothing else ever could. That place is Israel , where the Bible isn't history. It's the ground beneath your feet, where the Sea of Galilee still shimmers at dawn and the streets of Jerusalem still echo with a story that changed the world. Believers who go come home different , more grounded, more certain , more alive in their faith than they have ever been . That's what Israel does. I am Israel . Come experience the journey your faith was made for your trip today at Israel. Travel '.s That Israel dot travel .

We've got another activist DA that's been busted flat out lying senator this time in Philadelphia. You can you can say thank you to the Democratic Party to the George Soruses for allowing this to happen and this is a story that needs to be on your radar screen as well. It is and let's let's talk about who this is. You know, we talked about Singman and a left wing billionaire spending money to do real damage to America. This is a story about another left wing billionaire spending money to do enormous damage to America. In this case, George Soros. George Soros has spent billions of dollars. He is the single most effective political giver I think in American history . Now , effective is not a compliment. He is effective in being unbelievably harmful . There are, I believe, thousands of Americans who are dead because George Soros has spent the money so effectively. So he spent propaganda in support of open borders and you look at all of the people who have been raped and killed by illegal immigrant violent criminals , all the people that have been subject to terror attacks from illegal immigrant violent criminals . But But Soros also is creative in his destruction, and he realized that our democratic society has vulnerabilities and vulnerabilities that he can target. So he doesn't just target a presidential race . That's an easy, big, sexy target . Yeah . He really pioneered targeting district attorney races. Now district attorney races used to be sleepy little races. You'd have a Democrat and a Republican but they, both were prosecutors . They both were going to lock up criminals. If you were a murderer, you'd lock up murderer, you'd prosecute them. There didn't used to be a massive difference between the two sides on DAs. You'd have a little bit different priorities from the one to the other, but every one agreed violent criminals will lock em up and throw the book at him. That changed when Soros began flooding millions into DA races. Now, these races didn't used to have millions of dollars in them. So this money just appeared out of nowhere and he elected what are called soros DAs . And sorosdas are the prosecut ion side of the abolish the police campaign. Look, Soros funded the abolish the police campaign too . If you want to destroy a society, I can think of a few more effective ways to do it than eliminate law enforcement because the result is anarchy and chaos. It's more murders, more rapes, more children being abused . That is I don't like to ascribe ill intent to someone, but Ben, I will say quite seriously , I do not know any other motivation for George Soros that makes any sense to me other than that he wants to destroy America because his action seems perfectly calculated to destroy America. Yeah, if you look at the and it's a it's very calculated. It's prison reform, it's bail reform, it's defund the police. You do that trifecta, which is saying, well, we're going to let people out of jail because we just believe jail is somehow fundamentally wrong. You then say you want to defund the police so then you have no law enforcement. And then you have bail reform which says we're going to not put you in jail while we hold you for trial because you don't have a lot of money . So then you're letting rapists and murderers literally back on the street as fast we catch them. That you combine those three . This is a framework for total anarchy in society, which is clearly what Saurus wants . Yeah, look, just ask yourself the simple basic question Is society better if there are more murderers on the street, more murderers in your community, more murderers living in your neighborhood Any rational person would say, No, I don't want more murderers in my community . Soros says yes and he spends millions of dollars to elect DAs who agree with him. And so one of those soros DAs is a guy named Larry Krasner. He is the left wing soros DA in Philadelphia. And instead of going in with a mission of I'm going to go lock up the bad guys , his mission is quite literally, I'm going to release as many bad guys as I can. Now you may be saying, come on, that can't be true. That's so extreme . All right, let me just give you the facts . So just this week , a five to Democrat court. So I'm going to read you what judges who are Democrats said about Larry Krasner . They found that he is so quick falsely concede error in murder cas es to try to free convicted murderers , that it is tasked the Pennsylvania attorney general with checking to make sure that the SOROS DA is not lying. Now let me give you a little context of this because legally this is astonishing. I've never seen anything remotely like this . So a lawyer, particularly a government lawyer, has the ability to do what's called confess error. And confessing error is you go to the court and you say we screwed up. We made a mistake. We made a legal mistake, we made a factual mistake, and we're confessing error. You should take it from us. We were just wrong. And courts generally give enormous weight to that because nobody almost nobody ever confesses error falsely. Like confessing error is against your interest . So you go saying you screwed up your job, right? That's what you're saying . So it confessing error
