AI in full focus this morning.

The standoff between Anthropic and the Pentagon over military safeguards is ramping up.

The tech giant facing a deadline today to accept conditions or be blacklisted.

The Anthropic CEO, Dario Amode, saying in a statement, quote, these threats do not change our position.

We cannot in good conscience accede to their request.

The U.S.

Undersecretary of Defense, Emile Michael, responding to the statement, calling Amode a liar with a God complex.

The Undersecretary joins us now for more.

Undersecretary Michael, welcome to the program, sir.

Calling someone a liar is pretty strong language.

What's he like about?

Emil, clearly the technology these companies are producing is tremendously powerful.

Yet you believe this individual is both a liar and has a God complex.

How concerned should the American public be about individuals like this running companies like this if that's what you believe this person is?

We're looking forward to having the conversation with you, sir.

Thanks for making time for us this morning.

Emil Marker there, the Undersecretary of Defense.

The news doesn't stop on the weekends.

Let's keep it on the geopolitics.
