  Speaker 1: My next guest, and I love this lady a lot,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: a lot, a lot, Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: podcast host. She's great with that, too. Best writer in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the country, my friend Miranda. Her new column is out,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and it reads like this, Obama, Obama, and the Dems
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: are suspiciously sounding the AI apocalypse alarm, dot, dot, dot,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: just in time for the midterms. And there's a lot
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of truth to that. Miranda, good morning. How are you?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Sid. I'm really well. How are you?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'm great. It's great to have you back. You're doing great.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Your podcast is great. Your columns are great. You're at
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the top of the world, Miranda. You're doing great. I'm very,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: very happy for you. Happy for you. So, you know,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot from your column today. I had
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Charlie Gaspino on earlier because I believe he's an economic genius.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But you put some stuff in your column. This, for example,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that on the board of Anthropic, scumbags,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: excuse the French, I'm sorry, you're a lady, But I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: can't help myself. John Brennan and Trump would do the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: same thing. John Brennan, Michael Morrell, David Cohen. I learned
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: this from you today. That tells you up a lot,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they are not on it, but their comrades, they're
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the same people.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: A guy called David Cohen, for instance.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Who was Brennan's deputy at the CIA during the Obama
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: years when they hatched the Russia hoax and Barack Obama
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: told them to cook up that phony intelligence assessment claiming
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that Russia helped Trump win the election. All of that,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: David Cohen was the number two there and went along.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: With it, presumably.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: And he also has got lots of connections to Mike Morrell,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: who was the guy, the former acting director, who wrote
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: the Dirty 51 letter and got his pals to sign it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So there's a lot, and there's many others.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer's former National Security Advisor is on that board.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just, you look.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: At it, it's just a selection of deep staters.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You've got another.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Guy, Christopher Fonzone, who was Obama's deputy White House counsel.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Another guy who runs this think tank in DC, which
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: is full of deep staters. And Victoria Newland had the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: job before him. And This guy, David Cohen, is also
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: a senior fellow there.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: So they're all pals. It's the same.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I look at it and I go, these are exactly
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the same people that were behind the Dirty 51 letter,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: pretending that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian disinformation letter.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: It's the same people behind the Russia hoax. And as
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Tweeted so memorably yesterday, the two impeachments and Round River,
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Crossfire Hurricane, all those dirty tricks that they played on
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump all come from the same people.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Did you see, talking about Hunter Biden, his interview with
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson? And Tucker, of course, defends Hunter because Tucker
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: has turned into One of the worst people God's ever created.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he used to be friends with
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the guy. And I know people that still are. They're like,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I could talk to him anymore.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest. But he, Biden actually blamed
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Israel for the whole hoax. His laptop, the computer. Did
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you see that?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. They are so dishonest and ridiculous.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Hunter Biden has never admitted it was his laptop, although
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: he'll do a story one minute calling it his laptop.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: He just did a meme coin, a With the name
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Dollar Laptop, you know, that's what he cashes in on it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: He pretends it's not his and then he admits it is.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And in court, his lawyers admitted it was theirs.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You know, the DOJ used the laptop as evidence in
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: one of his two trials. They even held up the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: laptop to the jury in Delaware.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I saw them.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: So he's just now, and now because he's with Tucker,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: whoever he talks to, he panders to their prejudices. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of course, with Tucker, he panders to the Israel prejudice,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: which is.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous. There is not a shred of evidence for it.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: And in fact, their only link is an Israeli-American computer
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: guy who helped John Paul MacIsaac apparently well after we
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: had the laptop and broke the story. And he's already
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: sued somebody successfully for a lot of money for, in fact,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: an ally of Tucker Carlson, I believe, for saying that
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: he was from Mossad. So it's all a lie. And
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: it just is more grift from Hunter Biden. And I
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: don't know what's happened to Tucker. He seems to have
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: an obsession with Israel.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. That's all he talks about all day, everything.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: But I want to get back to the AI stuff.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So I agree with you that Obama and these Democrats
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are sounding the alarm. Somebody said to me, but wait
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a second, wait a second. Didn't you see that Elon Musk,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk is sounding the alarm too. And I know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Elon Musk worked very closely with president Trump and Doge
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. But I'm still not convinced
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that Elon Musk is not a Democrat. So if that's
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a name we're going to use to try to disprove
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the point that the Democrats are sounding the alarm, I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: not sure that's going to work for you. Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, Elon Musk just said, I agree when Dario,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: you know, from, uh, from, um, from Anthropic was sounding
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: the alarm because Elon Musk has said himself that AI
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: is dangerous. I mean, there's been a conversation about the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: potential for danger for AI.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: For a long time. But Elon Musk.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Has now, when he realised that this is an op,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: an absolute, as David Sachs called it, a PSYOP, an
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: election season PSYOP, Elon Musk has said, look, this is
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: exactly what it is.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: It looks like an op.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: So that's a different issue. What they're doing right now
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: is they're capitalizing on existing concern about the future potential
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: that AI could get out of hand. and they've turned
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: it into a.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Lot of things.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: But part of it, I mean, some of it is
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: for anthropics, a bottom line, because they've got an IPO
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: coming out and they want to crush the competition. But
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: the other part of it, the bigger part of it,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I think, is Obama's involvement and the Democratic Party. They've
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: just seized on this as their new climate hoax. And,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: you know, Donald Trump, you can't get anything.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Past Donald Trump, and he's nailed it. He says it's
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the climate... It's a climate hoax. It's Russia, Russia, Russia.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: It's everything rolled together.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: It's, you know, the climate hoax isn't working for the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Democrats anymore.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: No one believes it because their.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Deadline for Armageddon has come and gone with nothing going wrong.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: And anyway, America's drill, baby, drill, isn't it? crucial for
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: our success. So that's not working.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So they had to find a new one.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: They had the pandemic that worked beautifully for them in
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: 2020 that got them the White House.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: So now they've cooked up this new one.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: And it's so despicable and so obvious because now we've
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: seen with a And they've gone too far this time.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone believes them. I mean, Netflix is
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: coming out today, I think, with this new doom and
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: gloom AI apocalypse documentary. And guess who is involved with
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Netflix but Barack Obama.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, he is. Yep, yep, in a big, big way.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: In a big way and makes a lot of money
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: out of it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And then Obama was there in Manhattan at this fundraiser
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: with Hakeem Jeffries last week saying to the Democrats there,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: the donors, and also the members of Congress, hey, you've
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: got to make AI safety the center of your agenda.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It's really good for us.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is the one person that you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: talk about in the column, it's a great column again,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that could be the savior for the Republicans above and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: beyond Trump, is a man who's got the experience in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Silicon Valley, and he knows a lot of these people,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and he knows a lot of this stuff, and he
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: does talk about AI, and that is the current vice president, J.D. Vance, who...
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to speaking with him in the very,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: very near future, a little one-on-one. But you did mention
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: that he's the guy that should come out and be
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: aggressive in defending moving forward with AI, yes?
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's the perfect guy.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: He's got the Silicon Valley background, gift of the gab,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: and he obviously has a good relationship with reporters, certain reporters.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: At the New York Times.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: So that's the way to do it, to grab hold
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: of it. And in fact, yesterday, he did come out
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: and say.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: that, you know, he's.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Suspicious of AI companies coming to the government saying, please
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: regulate me. He says it doesn't normally happen that way.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It looks like a Trojan horse.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: But I'm interested, Sid, what do you think you will
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: talk to him about? Presumably his friendship with Tucker will
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: be on the agenda.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that'll probably be a lot of it. I don't know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I have to be completely honest. I have not spoken
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to him. I don't know I just know that he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: spoke at the convention in Las Vegas and I didn't
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: see him there and I didn't see him in the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: green room afterwards. So I guess he knows I've got
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: influence in New York. I'm sure Trump has told him
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and he's aware of me. Of course he is. so
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: I guess he wants to know what I'm thinking both
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: as A person that is very tight with the Jewish
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: community across this country. Very tight with the MAGA community.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Because don't forget, Tucker Carlson at this point has pissed
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: off not just the Jews, but the Trump supporter too.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: You can't call Trump the Antichrist. You can't do that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: and expect people to be okay with that. Especially JD,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: who happens to be a very religious, faithful guy. He
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: reads the Bible all the time. So how's he going
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to be okay with his buddy calling President Trump, who
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: made his life? I mean, JD went from, you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: basically this redneck in Ohio. Now he's a multi-multi-millionaire. He's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the vice president. He's probably going to run for president.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: That's all because of Trump. So forget about the Jews.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Put the Jews aside for a second. How do you
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: say you're good buddies with Tucker Carlson when Tucker spends
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: his days and nights eviscerating President Trump?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: And supporting Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So he agrees with what he says about 9-11, I believe.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Did say that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: It's a good question, and I think, I mean, J.D.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: 's already addressed that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: I don't think he's, you know, I agree with him
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: that you shouldn't just repudiate friends and ditch loyalty for
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: political expediency, but he does need to do something about it.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on. If you're an average citizen, sure.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But if you're running for office, no, the same rules
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: don't apply. If you're Irving Schwartz and you want to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: be friends with Osama bin Laden, God bless you. But
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you can't run for president. It does matter. When you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: got two blocks of voters, you got Jews and Trump
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: supporters that hate Tucker's guts. So then don't run. Don't run.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Be friends with Tucker. Have a ball. But you can't run.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and expect to have the same rules as everybody else.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Not if you want to win.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Hey, that's an incredibly good point. You're right.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And I think probably J.D. 's trying to say to himself, look,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I'm still a human being.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to sell out my soul. But that's not.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: What it is.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: What you're saying is it's a very special gift that
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: the American people give you to make you president, which
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: presumably is what he wants to run for. And so
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: you have to make sacrifices. And I mean, God knows
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump's made sacrifices, including almost his life.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of times. Miranda, the column is awesome
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: as always. You're awesome. It reads, Obama and the Dems
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: are suspiciously sounding the AI apocalypse alarm. Just in time
