, but he talked about how pilots had seen things and they were very credible pilots and there were multiple of them and he talked to them personally and he had every reason to believe that what they were seeing was at least not a lie. Doesn't mean it's aliens but he was convinced that their stories were accurate observations of what they saw. But what they saw is still of course a question. So he'…

camera and stuff. I have two comments about that. Number one is they're renaming the G7 to the G6.1. Anybody? It's no longer the G7 it's just 6.1. Okay. But the second point about G7 is I think there's a little bit of a rupar video edit problem because when it looks like Biden is just turned backwards to the rest of them and looking at nothing, he's not looking at nothing. There's something over there outside of the camera's view and what I think it is is there were people on all sides who were doing different things and there were some of them were interesting and he was looking at these other people and then it was time to take a group photo and he was still looking at the other people and so they said oh we'll get your attention we're taking the photo now. So I'm not defending him. He does look like his brain is shot. There's no doubt about that. But I think the video made it look worse and the reason I call this out is not because I want him to win the presidency again. It's because we need to be better than the other side. We should be better than them in some ways and I think calling out when the video looks a little bit misleading you know even if the main story is still the same. He's lost his brain. Everybody can see that but maybe a little misleading.

All right the Post Millennial is reporting that Biden's ghostwriter deleted all of the audio recordings of his interviews with the president so they could not be used as evidence by the special counsel. Why would you delete your audio of the president? What exactly did he say that could put him in jail? What? How bad was it? Was it because he was stumbling over his words or did he actually say something illegal that would change how we understand history? Well have I ever mentioned to you that Democrats have a problem with keeping any of their records or files intact? Starting with Hillary you know and her bleach bit and her server and all that. There's been this long history of every time you need something from a Democrat they can't find it, won't give it to you or they recently deleted it. How are we supposed to not notice that after a while? The trend is just so obvious and I think they've just figured out that you don't get in trouble for deleting things but you could definitely get in trouble for what those things are. So it's just an obvious choice. We'll just delete them.

Now let me ask a second question. If you did a personal interview with Biden who I think it was before he became president then he became president and you've got this terribly important historical document. Let's put him on the lie detector. Did you really delete it? Really? You didn't keep a copy? You don't have it on a thumb drive in a safe deposit box? Because if you don't have it on a thumb drive where you gave it to your relative to hold on to it or something you're an idiot. Can I say this clearly? It's one thing to say you deleted it and maybe that's smart so nobody can get it but to actually delete it, to actually not keep a copy of a long form hours of interview with a guy who became president, one of the most historically relevant documents of all time and he just got rid of all the copies? No that didn't happen. People, I'm sorry, nobody in that situation gets rid of all the copies. Didn't happen. I feel confident in saying somebody's got a thumb drive.

All right, Kim.com is telling us that OpenAI just hired a new person for the, well if you call it hired but they're on the board of directors and it was the same person who was in charge of mass surveillance at the NSA. Oh well that's exactly what you thought it was. Remember I told you that if the intelligence entities of the United States have not already captured the big AI companies, maybe Grok will be different we hope, but certainly OpenAI and certainly Google Gemini I think you can count on them being completely captured. And the reason is they have to. They can and they have to. Would you agree the two statements that guarantee it? They have the ability and they really have to. It's basically their job. Their job is to make sure Americans don't get wrong information, wrong information quote quote, and they've been doin

g it for decades. They're not going to stop doing it. It's within their probably within their scope. Of course they're doing it and maybe it's exactly what it looks like. They put their own people on the board and that's how they control things. Now if it went any other way I'd be amazed and a little bit disappointed because the AI stuff is dangerous. If the people who manage risk for the United S…
