Glenn Beck

Dear Senator McConnell, your call for more Pentagon spending is as tone-deaf as it is reckless. The United States, I don't know if you know this, already spends more on its military than the next nine countries combined. We spend $877 billion... Last year alone, dwarfing China, Russia, and the entire EU's collective defense budgets. All of those. Nine countries. And they're the big nine.

And then us. And we still dwarf them. I don't know. You need more money? Why are you so worried about China if they don't have all this money? And yet here you are clamoring for more as if throwing cash at an outdated war machine is somehow or another going to secure our future. The world has changed, Senator, and your priorities are stuck in the old time country time era.

Aircraft carriers, those floating behemoths that you and the Pentagon so dearly love, are relics of the past. In the next real conflict, they'll be as useless as horses were in World War I. Speaking of which, let me just give you the stats on the horses because it's going to be applicable to the aircraft carriers the next time we really go to war.

When Europe entered World War I, they had 25 million horses. By 1918, 15 million of them were dead. Why? Because they were mowed down and slaughtered by machine guns and tanks that ran over them because they couldn't outrun them. That's the fate awaiting, Mr. McConnell. Boy, I would love to start calling you Mr. and... That is the fate awaiting your aircraft carriers.

Sunk by hypersonic missiles or swarms of really cheap $500 AI-driven drones. That'll happen before they can even launch a jet. The 1950s called Senator and they want their war plans back. The future isn't in steel and jet fuel. It's in artificial intelligence and, unfortunately, artificial superintelligence.

Every dollar spent on yesterday's hardware today is a dollar wasted in three years when AGI upends everything we know about warfare. Worse, with the Pentagon's track record, every dollar spent today will balloon into two or three dollars of inflation tomorrow, thanks to the House and the Senate's obscene spending spree. We're drowning in $34 trillion of national debt. That's 128% of GDP.

A level unseen since World War II. A level unseen since World War II. Annual deficits are now $1.7 trillion. That's what they were in 23. Interest payments alone are projected to go over $1 trillion this year or early next. I don't know about anybody else, but those numbers aren't sustainable. It's a fiscal time bomb.
