• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Senator also on your way to becoming the next governor.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: But we're not going to jinx that.
• 0:09

• 0:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, come on, what's what the other fifteen percent? Senator?
• 0:15

• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Eighty five and a half gone.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Oh good.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But Senator, we have you on this morning to talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: about something that's very important to you and all over
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the country and another example of some potential really strong
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: bipartisanship in Congress.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: This is the work that you're doing to.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Try to make AI and other technology safe for children
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: in school.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: So tell us where that stands right now, please.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Well, it's very important. And people talk about a talk
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: about as coming. No it's not coming. Sorry here, it's
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: the future of our country. Same thing when we came
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: up with a computer, the iPhone and the internet, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: it's going to be ten times probably faster growing than
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: anything that we've done. So we start educating. We need
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: to have ethics, We need to do things in our classroom.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: From K through twelve, kids need to be told and
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: taught about the use of AI and this generation coming
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: up will decide the future of our country against people
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: like Russia and China who are vastly growing in Ai
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: and they're trying to They're trying to hold us back.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: China is doing all the propaganda with the mainstream media
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: about we don't need data centers. You know, they're bad
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: for the environment. They use too much electricity, too much water.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: All this propaganda's coming from China and they're trying to
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: hold us back from gaining ground to continue to beat.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Them in Ai.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: But we have to be able to educate our kids.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: It's all about education. We used to be vastly well
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: educated country. We're not anymore because socialism and communism has
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: taken over in a lot of our k through twelves
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: and are for your universities.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: But we have to fight back at that. We have
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: to fight back.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: We have to teach our kids more and important things
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: about education. If you talk to Elon Musk, Elon Musk
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: says that, hey, you don't need to go to a
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: four year school anymore, just learned how to use AI.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: AI will educate you a lot more than these these
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: propaganda based woke professors and these four universities, and I
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: totally agree with him, because if we don't get some
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: of these people out of harm's way in terms of
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: teaching our kids, we're going to lose our countries.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: We know it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Senator, you know a lot about all the university world
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: having been at the university there. First of all, my apologies,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my daughter's going to Vanderbilt, and we all know what
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt did to at the Crimson Tide of bypologies for that,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: but all kidding aside, how are the universities incorporating this?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we pay a lot of money
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to send our kids to these schools, and if you're
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not doing that, you're still paying a lot of money
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to these schools and taxes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: The one thing that the universities in America have I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: despite all the wold politics for a while, was we
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: still were the best for STEM education and medical education
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and things like that. Are we on Are we on
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a good pace to incorporate AI education at our university?
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I think we're talking a very favorable bit about it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Are we doing anything about it? That's the problem. We
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: have to mandate what's going on in our four year
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: schools and even through K through twelve. We're going I'm
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: gonna do that in Alabama. We're gonna start teaching our
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: teachers online about AI. We're going to work and have
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: an hour day of AI K through twelve, and we're
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: going to mandate that we do it in the proper
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: channels through or four year universities. Now the problem that
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: we have again, and we're gonna be fighting these WOP
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: professors in these universities. I tell you, we're gonna have trouble.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have huge trouble in the Northeast around all
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: these supposedly nonprofit Ivy League schools that again are infiltrated
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: by Chinese and people from other countries that are going
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: to fight back on this. And President Trump obviously is
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: fighting back on it. But in the South, you can
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: see the growth in this country. The growth in this
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: country now is all over the south. People are moving
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: out of the Northeast, moving to the south. They want
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: to go to where the tacks are lower. But also
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: education is better now it is better in the south,
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but it can be much better, and we need to
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: make some changes there. But it's it's almost gone in
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the northeast because of all the woke socialism nonsense that
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warner preaching and this is just
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: carrying on over into education.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Senator, this is Fernando Matteo. Thank you for being on
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: the show today. I mean, we've taken over sid show
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: here and we're having a lot of fun and we
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: love having.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: People like you.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Are you trying to say that there are no woke
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: people in Alabama?
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, No, doesn't exist there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they exist, not quite as much as as it
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: is in the northeast and on the far left coast
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: in some of the big cities and the in the Midwest. No,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: we've got plenty of it. We've got enough to where
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: if we turned her ahead and had a blind eye
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to it, that it would really rapidly grow. Now that's
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the reason that you're seeing a lot of change in governors.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: You're going to have a new governor in Tennessee, a
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: new governor in Georgia, and new governor in Alabama, a
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: new governor in Florida. And I'm keep an eye on that,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: and I know all these people and we're all going
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to grow together to make sure that we fight back
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: on any form of socialism or third world country people
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: move into our states because what's happening is our culture
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: is changing, and we're not going to allow the culture.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: To change in the South.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I would hope that we would have a better plan
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: in the Northeast and some of our Midwest cities. But
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: it looks like that President Trump's fighting with ices, fighting
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: with a lot of these mayors and governors, but it's
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: not making a lot of headway. And that's the reason
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: that we need a stronger Congress up here when we've
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: got House, the Senate, and the White House.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: So what you're what you're saying here is that you
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: guys are going to keep the walk out by creating
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: a block of unity of all these southern states.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, of course.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Now, congratulations, senator congratulations.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: You're not going to be one hundred percent, but you're
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: going to keep a majority, and as long as you've
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: got a majority, you can overcome the minority in terms
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: of the people that believe in socialism, communism, believe in DEI,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: no law enforcement, defund the police, and all that. It's
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: just it's just unfortunate being up here in the Senate
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: now almost for six years, I've seen the rapid growth,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: uh not just all over the country in some areas,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: but also here in Congress about the talk of socialism,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: the talk of communism, the talk of higher taxes. You
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: know what what you're doing in the Northeast and New
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: York the five percent wealth tax. My god, y'all don't
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: want any people up there. Y'all just want to run
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: people out down down to Hey. We'll take them. We'll
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: take all those billionaires in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee. And guess
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: what they're coming. They're coming. They're coming by the dozens
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: and again. But we need an entire country of fifty
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: states that believes in our concerts.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: What we need a peap everybody.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: What we need a peer is to get the block
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: that you have down there moving up here so that
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: we can fix this woke situation.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Well, it's all about leadership. Now, have leadership, and if
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: you don't have leadership, then you've got huge problems. Now
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: you've got leadership in New York now, but it's going
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: the wrong direction, way wrong, same thing as Chicago and Detroit.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously in La all those things are just
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: going the opposite direction. And I don't know whether it
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: needs to go to the bottom before people just realize
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: what the heck have we done? But again, what's going
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: to happen is is you're running out people that really
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: want to work, that really won't just have success. You're
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: running them out of the Northeast and they're coming south,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: and again.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: We'll take them.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: But this country can't survive with ten or fifteen states
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: that just leaeve in our constitution and capitalism. We have
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: to have everybody on board and hopefully we don't have
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: to go to the bottom before we figured out that
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: we've made a huge mistake and acceptance the things like
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Mundami and Gaven Newsen
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: believe in and Sanders, Yeah, exactly, Bernie Sanders.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: So what is going on? What is going on in Washington?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Anything good?
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Well, tomorrow we're gonna find out.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: And I'm looking forward to the President Trump is coming
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: to the Senate. We have a lunch every Tuesday and Wednesday.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: He has been invited to come over, and it's what
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: we should have invited him a long time ago. He's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: the leader of our party, he's a leader of the country,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: he's the leader of everybody in this country. And he's
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: actually the leader of the free world, and look what he's.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Trying to do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: He has got his hands full, and unfortunately he's got
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: a handful of people in the United States Senate and
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: the Republican side. They don't like him, and they don't
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: hold any bones about it. So I hope he comes
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: in tomorrow and uh, you know, it'll be an interesting day.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: It need we need to get everything out on the table.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: We have no time to wait. We have three or
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: four months to the midterms. You know, I'd like to
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: see him come in, open the door and slamming on
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: the way in. And so, okay, let's get something straight.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Eighty to ninety percent of people believe as Republicans and
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: even Democrats, seventy percent believe in the Save America Act.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Why are you four people in here voting against it?
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: And just go to each one of them. Give me
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: a reason, Give me a reason. Tell me why you're
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: against the American people. You're a United States Senator. You're
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: not voting for yourself, You're voting for the people. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: I want to hear them in front of the most
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: popular and the best leader that we've had in my lifetime,
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump, and look him in the eye and tell
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: him why they're not voting for the Save America Act.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: And I exposed all four of them last week, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: can you.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Tell us, look, can you tell us the names in
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the four again right now? So if we have a
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: million people listening on what those million people to know?
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Last week it was Tom tell us North Carolina. Now
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Tom's going out the door, and he's never been a
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: domine Trump guy. I want to hear what he says
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: about Stay of America. So because I know people in
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: North Carolina believe in that. Susan Collins who's running for
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: office in Maine and she's running to you know, for
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: her nineteenth term or something. She's been up here forever.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: She had her ten thousand votes last week. That didn't
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: mean anything to me, okay, meaning you know, you set
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: up a record of votes. That didn't mean anything. Because
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: she I can forgive her because Maine is a woke
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: culture state.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Didn't used to be.
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: I agree with that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And there's an election.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Hundred Nisans stopped Platinum, Yeah yeah, but she can stop
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: him by supporting.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: And who's the other thirty fourth one?
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Leira mccowsie, who's a never Trumper from atlasta.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Well that's Alaska.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but people Alaska voted for Donald Trump.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, they voted for him. Now, the people of Maine
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: did not, but the people of Alaska did. And then
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: you got Mitch McConnell, who should have left two years ago.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: He should have never run again.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Is okay? I heard he was in the hospital.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been in the hospital. While he will not
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: vote again this week, he will not be at that
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: meeting tomorrow with President Trump. He does not like President Trump.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: We all know that. Not maybe not.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: He likes him personally, but not as politics. And President
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Mitch mccollins stood up. It's yeah, yeah, sat lady. And
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: another thing i'd like to see, Okay, who in here
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: will not vote to bus plow buster? You'll have about
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: fifteen or twenty of them.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Why do you not like it?
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: If we need to stay in there for five or
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: six hours? And President obviously got a lot more important
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: things to do to hear explanations from senators that are
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: representing the United States of America, why would you not
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: vote for it? Because as soon as they win, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: right now, if they had the election today, we would
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: lose United States Senate and the week after that they
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: will vote to do away with a phowbuster. I do
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: not understand these people. This is not the same country
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: fifteen years twenty years ago. This is a different world,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: and we're fighting socialism and communism and we need to
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: fight it with a boat. We need to fight it
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: with fighting back before they get control, because they're gaining
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: control in November. If we stay status quo in terms
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: of what's going on right now with the polling, hopefully
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: we don't, that doesn't happen to us. If it does,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Heaven forbid you give Chuck Schumer the reins of the
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Senate again, because it was a disaster for the four
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: years that he was leader that I was here for
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: six years ago.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Senator Tommy Tuberville, thank you so much for joining us
