Thank you, guys.
But do you facilitate these Mexican drug cartels, the drug trafficking that they're engaged in?
The hundreds of thousands, I'm not saying you would ever say this, but the hundreds of thousands of missing children under the Biden administration, the fact that some of these young girls are being sex trafficked by Mexican drug cartels, when you enforce the nation's border laws, that is the most compassionate thing to do, both for your own people, but also for the people who are legally trafficked.
Yeah, so for the AI Summit, the President really wanted me to do this, and of course, happy to go to Paris and give a speech and talk about American priorities, but there was this big moment we thought we had an opportunity to sort of plant our flag and say, America is done with the
overregulating with the constant worrying about the future.
We're going to lean into the future.
We're going to embrace the future and try to make sure America dominates in the future.
And that's such a radical departure from both the safety ism of the Biden administration, but also, frankly, the safety ism of a lot of our friends in Europe.
And I had been there for about 24 hours.
I had met with Emmanuel Macron, the leader of France, had a good conversation and a lot of the other people in Europe.
And the thing that I kind of picked up is that they're so terrified
about the problems with AI.
And to be clear, there are problems with AI.
But if you're so terrified with the problems with AI, you don't actually embrace the potential, then you're going to get the worst of the problems without any of the benefits at the upside of it.
And that's what I think was so broken about our administration's approach during the Biden years.
And it's what's so different about our actual administration here during the Trump years.
So our attitude is, yeah, there are some consumer protection issues.
There are some data privacy issues.
We don't want the AI companies to do what the big tech companies did in 2020 and 2021, which is steal people's data and then censor an entire large swath of the American people for saying things that were said to be conspiracies, but later turned out to be true.
We're not going to do that.
