I don't view any of this through political lenses.

I just look at the conduct and I'm like, this is abhorrent.

And so again,

I don't view this as a Republican Democrat issue, but Jennifer Griffin over at Fox, she's a good reporter there.

She's actually a very good reporter, one of the very few good reporters.

She's on the national security beat.

And she talked about a meeting that took place today.

If you're wondering how I meandered to talk about this, the comment was the military needs to arrest

Trump, which I agree with, but the person leading it is Hegseth, and that's why I'm getting here.

At a high-stakes Pentagon meeting today, Secretary Hegsiff gave Anthropic head Dario Amodi an ultimatum.

Allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic's AI model for mass domestic surveillance and kinetic autonomous operations without human oversight or face censure and be labeled a supply chain threat.

Now, pause there.

The Pentagon doesn't dispute this, okay?

I don't care whether you're a Democrat or a Republican.

The demand is that Anthropic, this AI company-

Give the government its AI model for the purpose of mass domestic surveillance.

What does that mean?

That means that when you're walking, when you're out and about, when you're doing things, we already know that there are cameras everywhere, right?

That are probably filming you.

But the government will be spying on you at every moment of the day.
