I had no idea what would happen when I made this. I was scared for our country. I had an idea. And I went ahead and put together this video. We posted it. I made lunch. And when I came back to my phone, I was flooded with notifications. My life basically changed in that moment.
wtf is this dangerous holy war shit. this is exactly what they accuse Islamic countries of sounding like
.@SECWAR "This is our first stop on what we are calling the SEND ME TOUR.
If you know your Book of Isaiah, Chapter 6, Verse 8, the Lord said, 'Whom shall I send?' Isaiah says, 'Lord, I AM HERE. SEND ME...'
For 250 years of this country, there have been men and women who RAISED THEIR RIGHT HAND and said, 'SEND ME.'
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE REDCOATS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE COMMUNISTS.
SEND ME TO GO FIGHT THE ISLAMISTS.
AND YOU ARE SAYING, SEND ME TO GO FIGHT WHATEVER THREATS THREATEN OUR NATION.'"

Obama on AI regulation: I heard one of Donald Trump’s main advisers on this make the argument that the market will take care of it. These companies will solve the safety issues because they have every incentive to do so…
That’s not how we treat airlines, or drug companies, or food companies. We now have 150 years of experience just letting the market do whatever it wants when it comes to things that deeply affect our health and our safety.
And so, there’s no replacement for an effective, government regulatory structure.
This is why we need responsible, adult leadership
🚨 OBAMA RIPS THE "MARKET WILL TAKE CARE OF IT" APPROACH TO AI: "That’s not how we treat airlines, or drug companies, or food companies."
Obama: "My view this week has been it is good that some of the leading companies have said we need to slow this down, and we should encourage that. There have been some on the left who’ve said we shouldn’t allow them to make that decision. I agree that that can’t be a long-term solution. Government has to be regulating this.
I heard one of Donald Trump’s main advisers on this make the argument that the market will take care of it. These companies will solve the safety issues because they have every incentive to do so. If it turns out to be dangerous, people will just sue them. And they’re worried about financial liability.

And so, there’s no replacement for an effective, government regulatory structure. And the challenge we have is that obviously, we have a president currently that has said that’s for losers. So, we’ve got a gap, at least of a couple of years, where things are moving really fast, and we have an administration that is not capable of or willing to, I would argue both, of putting together a serious regulatory framework, which is why I actually think we should be encouraging some sort of voluntary industry restraint, not because it’s a replacement, but because that may be the best we can do for now until we can get Congress and the White House to start getting serious about this."

Brett Meiselas: If we made this prediction on the MeidasTouch podcast:
It's really important that you vote this election, because if you don't, they're going to bulldoze the East Wing of the White House.
They're going to destroy the reflecting pool.
They're going to try to demolish the Kennedy Center.
They'll probably host a UFC fight on the lawn.
We're going to start a catastrophic war in the Middle East.
Measles is going to rage back.
We're going to start a trade war with Canada.
Oh, and by the way, the FBI is also going to start making exceptions for hiring people who engage in bestiality.
People would have been like, "This is the most conspiratorial podcast I've ever heard."

Ben Meiselas on Energy Secretary Chris Wright:
The propaganda is so utterly outrageous while the American people are suffering. He said, "Thank God we have Donald Trump. We're doing so good right now."
They are all con artists.

Ben Meiselas recalls traveling with Colin Kaepernick at the height of the controversy and finding that even “in the reddest of the red cities,” people were nice to him, shook his hand and asked for photos.
Kaepernick says the experience revealed a stark gap between the public narrative and how Americans actually treated him.
Kaepernick: “A lot of the responses were very different, and it was consistently different.”
He says that gave him hope because “on the ground, we’re seeing people collectively say, yeah, we actually don’t agree with what they’re doing.”
