China wants to CONTROL AI: Expert

Welcome back America. We're here with our friend Gordon Chang, senior fellow at a great organization, the Gatestone Institute, and he's author of Plan Red, China's Project to Destroy America. Well, Gordon Chang, while we're on that subject and while we have politicians in our country that basically want to kneecap artificial intelligence and data centers, while the communist Chinese Isn't that a grave danger that communist China could leapfrog us because of our own idiocy? This is the gravest danger. We know the Chinese aren't stopping. On Monday, the foreign ministry complained about fear-mongering about AI, a signal that China was not going to stop. And then a couple of days later, the head of China's Ministry of State Security confirmed that message. So clearly the Chinese want to dominate AI. If they dominate AI, as President Trump said, they win the 21st century. So this is a question of American sovereignty and the continuation of the American success story. It's nothing less than that. But why do you think we have so many politicians, of course, the hard left Marxist socialist types, but also others who beat their chest on the Republican Party that we really need to get in charge of this? You know, it's the Silicon Valley against the American people. I don't view it that way. I view this as a burst of industrial production like we haven't seen in modern times. And we have real competition all over the world, but particularly China. Why do you think we have so many politicians who think this way? You think they're just power hungry? There are a couple of things going on here. One of them, though, is we know that China has fueled these anti-data center and anti-AI messages in the United States. For instance, the X platform talked about a Chinese bot farm that was sending out near identical messages that were anti-AI. You know, people have questions about data centers. They have questions about AI. But these protests and these questions are not entirely organic. We know China's fueling them because they want us to stop. They want us to stop because they want to control AI. When you hear politicians in our country, Gordon Chang, say this is a democracy and the people have a say, I'm a little confused about that. First of all, we're not a democracy. We're a constitutional republic. The framers specifically said we were not going to be a democracy. So only the House is directly elected. So they don't even know when they swear to uphold the Constitution what the Constitution says. We're a representative republic. But on top of that, do we have plebiscites, a referenda, when it comes to industries and businesses, steel up, steel down, coal up, coal down? Isn't that what we have representatives for? So what do these people mean that people have a say in this brand new industry? What does that even mean? Well, it's a talking point. We have, as you say, a constitutional republic. And in that constitutional republic, the president of the United States has a constitutional duty to protect us. And as President Trump has said, and he's absolutely correct about this, whoever wins AI wins. And that is, I think, the message going forward. And President Trump understands the and he's there to protect us. And one of the ways to protect us is to prevent the Chinese from dominating this. Because as bad as people may think AI is, it's going to be a million times worse if the Chinese control it and we don't have it. And look at what they'll control. All cutting edge innovations, right? Whether it's technologies, whether it's medical innovations, whether it's drugs, whether it's cures for cancer, with all these things they would control. I just can't imagine we would, this generation of Americans would so easily surrender this. Now, when we come back, my friend, I want to ask you questions. And maybe it's just rumors about Xi. He got sick at this big event in India. And we don't know if it's a minor event, it's a major event, there's rumors around. But I know you have your thumb on the pulse of what's going on there. We'll be right back.
