excluding babies born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully present or who have lawful but temporary status. Trump called birthright citizenship ridiculous, claiming that we are the only country that does it. However, dozens of other nations, including Canada, Brazil and Mexico, also have forms of birthright citizenship that are comparable to the United States.
On Monday, there was a second legal action against this. The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit aimed at blocking Trump's order. The executive director there saying denying citizenship to U.S. born children is not only unconstitutional, it is also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values.
Yeah, they thought this was the easy part, right? You just got to show up. You're not going to really have to deal with politics at all.
OK, now let's talk about presidential pardons, both President Trump and President Biden coming under fire for broadly using their unique power to make comprehensive pardons. So we reported on this yesterday, but we want to talk about some of the reaction here on Monday.
Then President Biden preemptively pardoned people that he thought would be targeted by the incoming Justice Department, including five of his family members. The concern even from some Democrats is that this was a massive overreach and sends a very bad precedent for future presidents going forward.
Hours later, President Trump entered the Oval Office and pardoned approximately 1500 individuals convicted for their involvement in the January 6th, 2021 U.S. Capitol attack. So he commuted the sentences of 14 others and directed the Justice Department to dismiss all pending cases related to January 6th. The bottom line, all January 6th defendants had their slate wiped clean by Trump.
Trump said that he was going to pardon the January 6th rioters. So that wasn't a huge surprise. But it wasn't clear if he would pardon all of them. The thinking was that maybe he would pardon the ones that were charged with nonviolent crimes. But no, this was a blanket pardon for everyone charged with their actions that day, including those who committed violence.
So looking here at who got pardoned, more than 100 were convicted of assaulting officers, including Patrick McKay, who was found guilty during a bench trial of assaulting a metropolitan police officer with a dangerous weapon. Robert Scott Palmer, a Florida man who admitted to assaulting officers with a wooden plank and a fire extinguisher.
Daniel Caldwell, he pleaded guilty to spraying officers who were guarding the Capitol with pepper spray. The two longest sentences were handed to former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. He was sentenced to 22 years and Oath Keepers founder Stuart Rhodes, who was serving 18 years. Both are currently free.
Tarrio was not actually in Washington on January 6th, but he was convicted of directing the attack remotely. Rhodes was convicted of seditious conspiracy for assembling $20,000 worth of assault weaponry that was intended to be used at the Capitol. Again, both of those men currently out of prison.
All right. Time for the speed read from CNN. Historic snowfalls burying parts of the Gulf Coast amid dangerous cold as a once in a generation winter storm wreaks havoc on travel in a region wholly unaccustomed to winter weather. On Tuesday, snow fell from southeast Texas to Louisiana and into parts of Mississippi and Alabama, creating treacherous conditions.
An area stretching from Houston into southern Louisiana hit. Has already recorded widespread one to three inches of snow. A few areas topped six inches. A record amount of snow also hit New Orleans and other cities along the Gulf Coast. Most incredible pictures of people cross-country skiing on Bourbon Street.
From Fox Business, President Trump unveiled a massive artificial intelligence infrastructure project from the private sector on his first full day of a second term in office Tuesday. During a speech at the White House, he announced that SoftBank, OpenAI, and Oracle have joined forces for a project called Stargate to build data centers in the United States for powering AI.
The CEO of all three tech firms, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Oracle's Larry Ellison, and SoftBank's Masa San, joined Trump from the Roosevelt Room at the White House for the announcement. The initial investment for the project will be $100 billion with plans to expand to $500 billion over the next four years.
The first data center built under the initiative will be in Texas and it will eventually expand to other states. Other investors are expected to join the venture, but it was not immediately clear which ones.
So most of my dad actually called me on Tuesday afternoon and he was like, are you watching this? You got to put on the TV. And I didn't know what he was talking about. And he was talking about the AI announcement because Larry Ellison, who's the Oracle CEO, he was going into all of the potential health benefits of the project.
And he was talking about all of the diseases that would potentially be able to get cured through AI. He said, we'll be amazed at how quickly we're curing this cancer and that one and heart disease. He said little fragments of those cancer tumors float around in your blood so you can do early cancer detection.
And if you could do it using AI, you could do it with a blood test and have the AI look at the blood test, basically then gene sequence the cancer tumor and vaccinate the person. And so basically design a vaccine for every individual person which would vaccinate them against the cancer. This is what Larry Ellison was trying to explain.
And obviously we're still years away from that, but the potential here is really incredible.
Yes. And it was not what I was expecting when my dad was like, turn on the TV. I thought I was going to see like a giraffe standing on its head.
