Are We for Tech or Is Tech for Us? Part III

AI competition matters because it can accelerate innovation, scientific discovery, productivity, and economic development. But AI safety matters because capability without adequate control can create risks we don't fully understand.

The important question is not simply, “How powerful can we make AI?” It is:

“Can human control keep pace with AI capability?”

Are We for Tech or Is Tech for Us? Part I (This week)

Are we for tech, or is tech for us? This is the title I want to cover on my program today. Why is AI competition important, and at the same time, why is AI safety important? Human inventions have always started with good intentions, but whenever they have fallen into the hands of people with evil minds, they have been used to destroy humanity. The greatest danger in the AI industry is AI having its own will and acting without human intervention. Is it possible for AI to have its own will? Or are human actors behind it and blaming AI? Let's listen to what Claude has to say.

Before this series tells you how the United States lost control of one of the most strategically important industries on Earth — and before it shows you how the same mistake may be quietly repeating itself inside ordinary retirement accounts — there is something more urgent to explain first. Right now, in 2026, for the first time in three decades, the U.S. government is actually doing something serious about rare earth dependency. Real laws. Real money. Real deadlines. Members of both parties, in the same room, agreeing on the same fix.

Part 2: What is Independence?

China has built the infrastructure to conduct significant energy and trade transactions outside the dollar system.

That infrastructure is operational today.

It was built primarily as a defense against American financial sanctions — not as an immediate replacement for the dollar. But here is the honest question that matters for ordinary Americans.

Memorial Day: Remember and Honor

To every American who gave their life for this country — we are here today because you were there yesterday for us.

You did not die for a slogan. You died so that strangers, generations after you, could live free.

We will not forget. We will not waste it. And we will hand it forward.

God bless our fallen. God bless their families. God bless the young, who are about to surprise us. And God bless these United States of America.
