YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

AI just did something that stopped the Pentagon cold — and most people have no idea it happened. Steve Schmidt breaks down exactly what Anthropic refused to let Pete Hegseth do with Claude inside the DOD, why it should terrify every American, and what it tells us about what's already being built in secret that nobody is talking about. But that's only half the story. While the AI arms race was quietly escalating, one MAGA-friendly billionaire was making moves behind the scenes that most people completely missed — backroom deals, Saudi money, a walk into the State of the Union with a Senate Judiciary chairman — all to position himself to control what you watch on CNN. Schmidt says once you connect the dots between the AI weapons push and the media takeover happening in plain sight, you won't be able to unsee it. And that's exactly what they're counting on.
