This is an incredibly aggressive way to kick all of the press out of the room at once. Why did she grab the camera? Hey everybody, Adam Mockler here. I have to give you a rundown of this incredible meeting that happened at the White House today between Donald Trump and a lot of the largest tech AI CEOs of our time. I mean, on screen now, you can see just in this video Donald Trump standing next to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
You see Jensen Huang of Nvidia here. You see Elon Musk in the background on his phone, probably high on ketamine. I spot Mark Zuckerberg over here to the left standing next to Daario of Anthropic. So, a real meeting of the minds at the White House today. And you know, this could have been a discussion for everybody to stand there and answer questions. Yet, it very quickly became the Donald Trump show where he's claiming that because he renamed AI, he knows more than basically anybody else.
He can redefine what AI is and what threats are real versus what threats are hoaxes. In this video right here, he says that we can basically contain the problem just with love, just with the love of different countries. I mean, take a listen. >> Mr. President, >> did you speak yet? >> I did. Yes, sir. >> Mr. President, tell us why the world should not be concerned about AI. Why there shouldn't be guard rails? >> Because we have people that love our country and love the world. >> It requires more than love, doesn't it, sir?
No, it requires this and they're the smartest people in the world. And we had a great meeting today. Every one of them. We had a great really a great great meeting. It was something very, very special. We had the top, I'd say it looked like a group of >> Wait a minute. I just caught this for the first time while watching this. When Donald Trump says the line about love, I'm pretty sure the CEOs behind him smile at each other and make fun of him.
I'll point it out. >> No, it requires this. And they're the smartest people in the world. And we had a >> right here. These two in the back look at each other kind of smile and then he taps him on the back right here. They are absolutely making fun of Donald Trump in this moment. They're like, he is ridiculous and absurd. Love is not enough. Donald Trump later on says that Kim Jong-un is a close friend of his. So this shows you the naivee of Trump.
He thinks all of the threats surrounding AI are entirely a hoax. That we don't have to worry about the small things like labor displacement or antisocial behavior by introducing AI into early education. And he also doesn't think that the existential risks are real like AI running loose by self-improving so much that it screws humans over. There are many concerns and yet we have outofouch leaders who don't understand any of the concerns surrounding AI.
I you not. I mean, there's 100 senators in the United States and one of them is Mitch McConnell. The average age of a US senator in this Congress is 64 to 66 years old. There's nothing wrong with being that age, but we need representation of all ages throughout Congress, especially when we're talking about the AI issue because Trump is out of touch, naive, and doesn't know how to discern an ally from an enemy. >> Iran cannot have nuclear weapons.
Why not? South North Korea can't have nuclear weapons. >> Ah, that's interesting. You know why? Cuz he had a different president and they could have stopped him. He happens to be a friend of mine. Kim Jong-un. He's a friend of mine. He likes Trump. Doesn't like a lot of other people. He I'm about the only person in the entire world that he likes. >> Bro, he's standing in front of the tech CEOs talking about how Kim Jong-un is a good friend.
I would be willing to wager at least half of the people there, probably 70% of the people there know how batshit crazy he is, but are just going along with it for their profit incentive. Let me back up a little bit because the entire impetus of this meeting was the launch of America.gov. America.gov is supposed to be a an AI entrance into federal services. And I actually don't think it's the worst idea if it's done in a way that doesn't have weird data collection and isn't too bureaucratic.
Government websites are notoriously inaccessible and government services are notoriously very hard to access for certain communities. So I mean like having something like this could be good, but let me show you how it's actually been developed. Welcome to america.gov, the new online home for the United States of America. For the first time, there's one place to get everything done across the entire government. >> I mean, it doesn't sound bad in theory.
However, when people started to use it, it works a little bit differently in practice. It doesn't answer very specific questions. Someone said, "It's Trump in the Epstein files." And the Trump AI says, "I only answer questions with genuine intent for government services and official information. I do not provide political commentary." Did the Trump administration release the Epstein files? I only answer questions about government services and official how-to information.
Did the government release the Epstein files? And again, no answer. Well, this person said, "How much have national gas prices risen on average since President Trump was sworn in for his second presidential term." It says, "I cannot measure or comment on gas prices as a change since presidential inauguration." EIA publishes this and when Trump got into office, it seems to be about $3. And now this week, September 29th, um it is $446.
So that is a massive increase. And it says those series are not assigned to any administration. Someone says, "Was President Trump's use of EA, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, tariffs, and illegal abuse of power?" They said, "I do not offer political commentary or personal judgment about abuse of power." what the Supreme Court held. And if you read it, it says, "The court held that the EA does not authorize Donald Trump to impose tariffs." Wow.
Wow. Wow. This AI seems to be uh betraying Trump. Somebody then asked, "How many times does Trump appear in the Epstein files?" And they seem to have gotten an answer. Sort of. I cannot verify an exact account. Official reporting and Justice Department materials say President Trump's name appears in Epstein related files, but being named is not proof of wrongdoing. And the DOJ has said some materials include unfounded claims.
So, they're immediately trying to kind of run defense for Trump's name being littered throughout the files. How many stock trades has President Trump made since January 20th, 2025? According to his financial disclosure filings, it says this reports each purchase, sale, or exchange over $1,000. What is public? A Senate letter cites outside analyses about 14,000 trades in 2025 and 3,555 trades in early 2026. This is the president of the United States.
This is at the direct expense of all of us. Someone said America.gov gov has been compromised, sir, because they asked who won the 2020 election and it just answered Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

This brings me on to the AI summit in which all of the press was suddenly kicked out. Even in this video right here, you can see some familiar faces before Trump's aid grabs the camera.
Elon Musk standing next to David Saxs. You know, I've seen him on the All-In podcast. There's of course Mark Zuckerberg somewhere there, Daario Amadai, Jeff Bezos, Alex Karp, Satia Nadella of Microsoft, and the anthropic co-founder Tom Brown. A long list of very influential names. But the reality is I do not trust Trump's leadership on this issue. I want to show you the series of statements that Trump made after the meeting.
At first he said they formed almost a constitution in a way. Then when he's asked further about that if it's binding in any way he said no it's morally binding basically. Then he implied that because he came up with the new name for AI that he knows more about it than most other people. He has been the most unhelpful president thus far on about every single issue. But with AI, he does this weird where he just superficially rename stuff and thinks that's fixing the problem.
He did it with the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf America. He did it with Lake Ontario to Lake America. He's done it with the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center. He's trying to rename everything and AI. That's his contribution to it. Uh he tweeted out a few weeks ago, he said, I guess about a week ago, he said, "Which name do we like for the new phenomena?" Super intelligence versus superior intelligence. I you not everybody.
This is the second maybe third poll that the president did on AI and what it should be renamed. Homie, that is not the issue. There are very real threats that are being downplayed by him because he is constantly going off in the wrong direction. He posted the only control or guard rails that AI needs is a strong and smart high IQ president and the USA has that in spades. He then says, "All of the talk about regulating AI is a hoax.
This guy has no clue what he's talking about." It we might as well have Mitch McConnell in the lead here. Here's Trump talking about the Constitution as he calls it. >> A few people really It's almost like a constitution in a way, >> Mr. >> And the biggest and the biggest people in the world signed that and I signed it as president and it really is a a form of protection. >> Okay. Okay. So then they ask, is it binding in any way?
Mr. >> President, Mr. President, it's more than about a name in >> Go ahead. >> Is this a core that everybody signed? Is it binding in any way? >> I think it's morally binding. Yeah, >> Mr. President. >> Mr. President, >> what the does morally binding mean? I'm sorry, but Donald Trump is a sucker. He's what you call a mark. He's an easy target. It it reminds me of the way that Vladimir Putin has manipulated a lot of people on the global stage by signing something and then having no morals and just breaking that in one moment.
Donald Trump is so naive that he thinks that every country loves America. Remember as he said >> because we have people that love our country and >> no not everybody loves our country. Many countries do not love the United States. Sometimes for good reasons. We've meddled in the Middle East a lot and we've done a lot of imperialist But a lot of countries genuinely hate us. I think that Russia genuinely hates us. As as much as Donald Trump may hate it, I think that Kim Jong-un in North Korea, it's genuinely an enemy country.
And Donald Trump should not treat an authoritarian regime like they are going to be fair and good faith actors in the AI race. I'll even go so far as to say that China is likely not going to be acting in good faith during this AI race. So then Trump talks about changing the name of AI. You have all found some common ground, but the leaders standing behind you have had some very serious concerns about AI. Even after meeting with them today, you still call this a hoax.
So why should the American people call a hoax? It's a very serious. That's why I changed the name. >> A hoax sounds like, you know, when you're using the former name, but this name is now super intelligent. That's not a hoax. In fact, it's the exact opposite. What I am calling a hoax is what the Democrats do because they don't want to see it be successful because they think that's bad for Republicans. Okay? So, they don't want to see this tremendous surge of growth.
We have growth and and by the way, we have a lot of car factories opening. We have all >> Dude, what is this guy saying? He thinks that because he changed the name of AI, all of the previous concerns are now a hoax. Okay, they a AI is going to be touching every facet of our life and it already is. Whether it's education, they're figuring out how to integrate into early education, into high school, into college, into the workforce, whether it's labor displacement, whether it's the military and national security, it's going to be huge in that.
Whether it's healthcare and imaging and drug discovery and new research or its employment opportunities or it's speeding up research or the government, there's so many ways AI is going to be integrated. And to dismiss all of the concerns as a hoax as the president of the United States is not only irresponsible, it's kind of just batshit crazy. He's out of touch with reality. Now, that doesn't even touch on the more existential question of what happens if AI doesn't align with our morals?
What happens if these AI models that we're building with the single goal of just improving themselves? It's called recursive self-improvement. It's an AI agent whose goal is to build a better AI agent. That AI agent's goal is to build a better one and a better one and a better one and it continues to get so good that it may just not even care about humans. AI is not going to turn on us and hate us, but they're going to be indifferent to humans.
How in the same way when humans pave a road, we are indifferent to the ant pile that we crush. It's just a pile of ants. We don't really care. We don't hate them. We're indifferent to it. We don't care. That is exactly what AI would do to us. It's a very real threat. I'm not trying to give the most existential vision of it. But if an AI has a single goal, it will take over the infrastructure, the technology, and get all of the power it needs.
It's a very real thing that all of these AI CEOs understand. But Trump is the one leading this meeting for somehow. It's actually pretty insane. And then they get asked, "Who should be held accountable when AI agents commit a crime?" And Trump just talks about changing the name. You have some genuinely brilliant minds behind you. I mean, I I know people in the comment section are going to say this is dumb because they're all AI CEOs, so they must be like bad people.
But some of these are brilliant minds. They've achieved a lot. Elon Musk is kind of an idiot. I mean, honestly, he's an idiot. But everybody else, I mean, smart people. And yet Donald Trump is the one who is the mouthpiece for these AI CEOs. >> Sorry. Who should be held accountable when the AI agents committed a crime? >> It's not AI. It's the other thing. We've changed the name officially today. We've changed the name, Steve, officially to SI.
Okay. Sai like Sai Si instead of AI. >> You know what that means? Super intelligence. So, >> so the name I guess that's really quite an announcement. >> Honestly, guys, I think this may be the best microcosm of Trump I have ever seen. He gets asked a very serious question. Hey, who should be held accountable when AI agents commit a crime? Is it like who who's accountable for this, right? Is it the company? Is it the creator of it?
And Trump says, wait a minute, it's not AI, it's SI. He's more focused on the symbolic juvenile branding than actually answering the question at hand. Then Speaker Johnson speaks for a few minutes and continues to reiterate that it's super intelligence. That's the new name. Guys, it's incredibly dumb. When they held the presser in the White House, it ended by somebody grabbing the camera and rushing them off. >> These are people that love our country.
I can tell you that. Thank you very much. Common ground, Mr. President. You've also called Mr. President, you've also called AI a hoax. >> Why should Thank you, everybody. Keep moving. >> All right, President Trump there with the tech leaders that >> Damn, pretty intense shoving off of all of the press. Here's another version. >> I mean, this is like a weirdly oddly violent way to push all of the press out. Then we actually get an extended version of the press being pushed out. life is incredible. >> It was a good feeling. >> It was a great Thank you. >> Nice feeling. >> Thank you.
Good job. >> I'm going to leave it there. We need real leaders at a time like this. And on the Adam Oler feed, we will continue to push for real leadership. We'll push people that we like, people like James Talerico, John Oaf, AOC. There are leaders that are rising and that are going to be around for a while. We'll keep pushing for that. I love you all. I'll see you in the next video. Peace
