AI as a God, the Surveillance State, and No Candidates for 2028 | 10-02-26

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley tackle the spiritual and technological crisis facing America: a society losing its moral compass as AI becomes a new idol replacing human thought, Trump rebranding artificial intelligence as "super intelligence" to make it more godlike, AI writing dissertations with zero human input, the integration of AI into a surveillance state that would make the KGB envious, digital currency tied to social credit systems, Trump's bromance with Xi Jinping while elevating China on the world stage, the Russian oligarch funding Trump Jr.'s wedding, and the sobering reality that no honorable candidate exists for 2028 because the two-party system and media gatekeepers crush anyone who challenges the establishment.

[00:00:04] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley, together to break down the hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use right before your very eyes. There's so much news going on, it's just insane. Welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:00:33] It is a freedom-loving, fantastic, we're taking America back one heart, one mind, one issue at a time, Friday. And of course, we're going to talk about Dr. Bradley's webinar as well. There's just so much going on, man. Suicide seems to be everywhere. Terrorists are everywhere. I don't know what to think about this whole world we live in. Things are just strange, right? It's strange how our society seems to just manipulate people's views.

[00:01:03] Boys want to be girls. Girls want to be boys. Everybody wants to die. I just don't really understand how some of these things are happening. Because you really got to ask yourself, how do they manipulate public opinion to such degree? Are we that naive or that deceived or that confused?

[00:01:26] To me, the reality is when you don't have a tether to God Almighty, no doubt we're overwhelmed with despair and confusion and disillusionment. And the list goes on and on. The answer is God, family, and country. And that's what this broadcast is about. Dr. Bradley, welcome, sir. Thank you very much. I hope everyone is gearing up for a really pleasant weekend to be able to get some sanity into their lives away from the hubbub of normal life.

[00:01:56] I'm hoping, anyway. Where do you think we go from here? People have just lost their minds. Nobody knows the truth anymore. Nobody has anything to hold on to. You know, we used to have God, family, and country as a real moral, solid, stable framework and things in society. Most people were fairly religious. Most people were, you know, tied to things that really helped them stay stable. And now it seems like all that's been taken away.

[00:02:26] The latest is, hey, kids and younger generation adults are turning away from their parents and just deciding that they're going to, you know, jettison their families. And, I mean, everything that we used to hold dear seems to be challenged and destroyed and mocked and manipulated. I mean, it's insane, sir. Well, I often comment, for whatever that's worth, that we seem to be in a mush for brains society today.

[00:02:53] And I think there's a lot of contributing factors. And I really do think, I mean, it's obviously, and it should be obvious to people, that as we turn away from the traditional values that we've had and a recognition of the hand of God and everything, and honestly an ability to think for ourselves. I mean, I am utterly amazed. In fact, one of the topics we had last night in the webinar, I think is definitely related to this.

[00:03:21] And it has to do with, well, until Trump and the crew renamed it SI, they called it AI. I read, literally yesterday morning, a dissertation that was written entirely from AI. There was not a single shred of human interaction that went with it. It was simply a request that AI developed and brought out a written piece.

[00:03:49] And I happen to know something about this topic. I've done an awful lot of research in it. And I was utterly shocked at how AI went out and clawed out of the universe someplace on this, I don't know, the fact that somewhere there was information that said this and that and the other.

[00:04:14] And it took a bent that really and truly was shocking because of the contrary evidence that could have been brought out, if you will, the opposing viewpoint. But people, it seems, are willing to let something else. Now, it's not even someone else anymore.

[00:04:35] Something else think for them to the point that they're just, you know, kind of automatons, drones walking through life without even a thought of their own. Religious leaders do this thing. Political leaders do it. Media moguls do it. Medical people do it. And many of them, I fear, have lost the ability to think. And then they foisted on us.

[00:05:03] Well, and the problem is, in my mind, it literally becomes kind of a god or an idol. They've had a lot of people talk about, you know, hey, you know, most folks are non-denominational. Most people are turning away from religion because they've been so disenfranchised and disenchanted about. You know, it seems like every single leader gets caught in sex or funding or money or some kind of scandal. And so people are disenchanted. Sadly, justly so in many, many cases. But at the same time, you look at it and go, now they're turning to AI as kind of their god.

[00:05:33] They're thinking the answers are there. Now they're saying, you know, automated vehicles can drive better than humans. And AI is smarter than humans and can deliver information faster. Bobby Kennedy just came out and said, hey, you know, AI is better than any doctor. And, you know, I mean, they're turning this thing into an idol, doctor. Well, that's a big portion of the problem is that AI now, Trump and then want to call it SI, just like changing the name, voids the concerns we have.

[00:06:00] But what they do is they take this and authoritatively, indirectly, I mean, they say things that is, how could anybody believe otherwise? I mean, that's kind of the mentality that comes out of this. And it's like, well, I always thought that, but maybe I'm wrong, you know? Well, and I would change the definition. Instead of artificial to super, super makes it more legitimate or more godlike than artificial. But I challenge the word intelligence. You know, intelligence comes from God only.

[00:06:30] There is no intelligence except for that which comes from God Almighty. And I look at that and say, you know, we're claiming this thing is intelligence. It isn't intelligence. It's artificial. Yes. Man-made. Yes. All it does is gather what it has in its database. You delete its database and it has nothing. Okay, that's not intelligence. It's man-made. It is basically a big database of information. And we've figured out a way to search it in ways that are helpful and valuable.

[00:07:00] But I wouldn't call it intelligence, though. And I think it's the wrong name for it. And I don't think artificial to super is the answer. I think we say artificial. But then we need to change the game. It's not intelligence. It's basically seek and find or artificial delivery, artificial information delivery. A-I-D, if you will. I just don't see it as intelligent, doctor. And that word scares me because it makes it seem like it's godlike. And the smarter it gets, the more people start to believe that.

[00:07:29] Well, you're right. And it's not getting smarter. All it's doing is becoming more capable of delivering a product that people find palatable. Now, here's my question. Well, just more man-made information is more at your fingertips is all. So that's what I mean by delivery is what we're talking about. Artificial instant delivery. Maybe we should call it that. Here's the deal. Lucifer and God are universes apart in terms of so many things.

[00:07:57] But one of the things is that God has a creative force, a creative power, a creative perspective on things. He brings life. He brings purpose. He brings a joy and a happiness and love. I mean, there's so many things God brings. Lucifer, on the other hand, completely lax, is devoid in those things. So where God is creative, God is intelligence. And God actually is filled with love.

[00:08:25] And it's through the universe because of him. Lucifer can only give counterfeits. And consequently, we watch. There's never been a creative bone. Well, he doesn't have bones, I guess. And there's been never a creative act by Satan and Lucifer. It's all been detractions from the goodness and the mercy and the love and the creativeness and the intelligence that God brings.

[00:08:53] All of these things, light, knowledge, truth, that emanate from God. And so, like I say, the farther we get from this naturally occurring origin, I believe the farther we get from God. And it kind of really dovetails, in my opinion, very nicely into our secular humanist belief system, a faith-based belief system that we use as a religion, a civil religion, if you will, in the United States. It's called the public education system.

[00:09:22] And it permeates everything. It's forcibly tax-collected in order to bring this to every single soul. And they do everything in their power. It takes hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars each year out of the economy to create a drone-like automaton that comes out of the education system. Yeah, you're right about that. And so I literally just asked ChatGPT. I said, hey, Donald Trump wants the name artificial intelligence to super.

[00:09:51] I don't think that's the right name. I agree that it's artificial, but I don't believe that it's intelligence. I believe it's just basically artificial instant gathering and delivering of information followed by man-made scripted action. And ChatGPT responded and said, my pick would be automated information processing and action or AIPA. It describes the two functions you're concerned about. Okay.

[00:10:21] Information processing, finding, organizing, analyzing, and generating information, automated action, carrying out tasks under human-created instructions, and rules. Anyway, we'll get into the details in just a second. We'll take this break. But all I'm telling you is we've got to realize this is not a god, folks. And it never will be. All right? It's man-made.

[00:10:50] And I'm telling you right now, the power goes out and it's instantly not available. Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less? Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last? Anybody ever having a 1% pay cut? You deal with it. That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.

[00:11:14] If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief. But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible. Who are they? Republicans. Who are they? Democrats. Who are they? Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money. So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere. The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning. What's the day of reckoning?

[00:11:42] The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market. The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar. When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency. Introducing managed IT services from NPI.

Okay, so a lot of people say, oh, what's the big deal? Artificial intelligence.

[00:12:36] I mean, it's just a smarter dishwasher or someone to help write your talk for church or whatever. It goes way beyond that. It integrates so perfectly into this surveillance society that's being created with flock-type cameras, with sharing of information, with integration and tracking,

[00:12:57] with making a society that would make the Nazis and the Gestapo and the KGB and all of these tyrannical societies of the past just shudder with envy about how easily people can be manipulated and tracked.

[00:13:17] And somebody can decide because your social media posts are not acceptable to the crowd or the elites or whomever they are. And suddenly you have restricted travel. You have to pay your money. Oh, yeah, this goes with digital currency, too. And you can only spend your money for certain things in certain places. And if you are not socially acceptable, by golly, they just might restrict you somehow.

[00:13:46] Everything gets so completely integrated. And artificial intelligence is helping this happen. It's not just data centers. But, yes, it is data centers. It's these networks. I'm telling you that this thing is huge. And we are losing our freedom so fast. And it's not on a gentle slope, 30-degree slope up a hill.

[00:14:09] This is metastasizing in a monumental, multiple orders of magnitude constantly. All that you say is true. The problem is it's happening so quietly, so stealth. You know, usually to deny you your freedom would take war, would take violence. This is where they're basically using flax and cords to lead you straight to hell, if you will.

[00:14:33] And you don't even really realize it's happening because they're putting it under the guise of super intelligence, which makes you believe, you know, it's kind of godlike. It's safe. It's secure. It's only got your best interest in mind. The problem with it is that's not really the truth. Now, I don't believe we can stop AI from happening. But I do believe we could really shape how it goes down if we the people would get involved. But we're not willing to. China meets with Donald Trump.

[00:15:00] And I'm sure that that was big on the docket of discussion, right? Well, it was. And that's part of what they discussed, too. But just let me say this. Yes, we can stop it. Yes, we the people have the authority. Just because they've got these benign technocrats together with Donald Trump, and they're going to self-regulate. Of course, the Constitution doesn't give them any authority to do. But we the people have the authority to. And there's so much more to this, Sam. But I think the people that just roll on.

[00:15:30] Let me tell you why you can't stop it. Donald Trump just put an AI front end to all government. So what? And pretty soon, if you're going to interact with the government in any way, you're going to have to deal with their AI-driven systems. They'll eventually lay off a lot of people. They'll say the government's getting smaller. And they'll basically use this AI-controlled system. And then if you're going to interact with government or your job, you'll be forced to use it. So it's stoppable if everybody really got united and organized. We could also shut down the IRS and do a lot of good things if enough people would do it.

[00:15:59] But I'm just telling you, the people are divided and fractionalized and everything else. And they will virtually force us to use it. It's kind of like trying to live today now without any access to the Internet. It's possible to live, but it isn't possible to participate in society. But we the people get the kind of government we deserve because we take the attitude we do. Yeah, that's right. So anyway, yeah, this is a long, long discussion there. Do you think you could survive without using the Internet, doctor, in society?

[00:16:28] I could. Heck yes. Okay. How would you file your taxes? By paper if I was going to do it. Okay. I mean, come on. This kind of stuff is foisted on us. And you would go into the post office to send in your paper tax returns, and then they'd use the AI and the Internet to scan in your information and print your label and do all these things. Are you saying it's hopeless? Hopeless? We're toast. We're done. I don't think it's hopeless.

[00:16:56] I just don't think we can stop AI or stop technology from progressing. How it unfolds, how it unfolds, I think we can have a lot of interaction with. I'm telling you, I really believe that, let's take, for example, the flock type cameras. If our local citizenry got involved with our local city councils and our local county councils, we would not ever have them placed in our communities. I agree.

[00:17:26] And if we don't have the right kind of people there, get the right kind of people. We've got to decide that we the people are still the ones that are masters of our own destiny. And it's something that, honestly, I did a big discussion last week. It was kind of billed as a debate about some things about elections and stuff like that. And people want to turn it over to some guru, some egghead, some expert. Yeah, of course they do.

[00:17:53] Because they've been taught that they don't have solutions that matter. They believe that everything that we had in the past is a failure, and the only way forward is to embrace this new world that we've got. And I agree with you 100%. We can have the people wake up, and we can take control, and we can decide outcomes. I just don't think we can stop technology and progression from happening in those ways. We can decide how it unfolds for sure. And ultimately and finally, you know, I think God has a say sooner or later on this thing.

[00:18:22] He may let us get enough for we hang ourselves. But what if we have an EMP? What if it's caused by a nuclear bomb that goes off at altitude? Or what happens if it's a huge spike in static electricity that God causes? What happens if it's earthquakes? Either way, what happens if we lose our power, if you will? That's right. And so here's the deal. We, the people, have a responsibility to do what we can. And I think at some point, it's going to get to the point where we have been cranked down.

[00:18:53] I agree. There are people that I know. And I believe if we lose power, it wouldn't be the end of the world. But I do believe that 80% of the population would probably die. Well, you know what? If we lost access to power, I think that would happen. Here's the deal. Some people I know very, very well that are normal, intelligent people that, I got to say, they are Trumpster to the core.

[00:19:19] So they've got a Trump derangement syndrome that's on the far end of the spectrum, which they can't get anything he wants to do. But they want digital currency because it'll get rid of this phony paper money we've got. And it's like, you're stepping out of the fire into the melting pot there. You are going to find that everything is shut down based upon financial action. Well, and they're going to find if they hold any views that we care about, then their currency will be manipulated. That's the concern about Trump's meeting with the Chinese president. What do they talk about?

[00:19:49] Bringing the Chinese communist credit system to the United States based on social credits and the way you behave relates to your dollars and cents in their controllable, manipulatable currency? You know, they may have, and they may have talked about a lot of things. They didn't talk about anything substantive, and the United States came away with absolutely zero value. In fact, if anything came out of their celebrating, it was the Chinese people.

[00:20:14] I mean, Trump brought Xi Jinping to the national stage, if you will, as a peer. He's got him invited to, you know, G20 meetings. He wants him to step in. China is being elevated right now, and I think Trump has got some bromance or something along with Xi Jinping, and I think Xi Jinping is a far better negotiator, a far better strategic leader. Well, and the Russians even funded Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding, and so now, you know, all this

[00:20:42] effort to distance Donald Trump from being involved with the Russians now is a failure because we've got a significant tie. Isn't that cool? I mean, isn't it weird, the webs that have been woven and how injured, I mean, all things have been cast aside. Yeah, they call it strange bedfellows, right? Okay, strange bedfellows and a lot of other things, too, but you're right. I mean, it seems that all of these elitists, this Epstein class, these groups, I mean,

[00:21:09] whether it's, you know, the 80% or whatever it is of the House and the Senate that are completely controlled by their donors, it's just amazing to me that we, the people, continue to say, oh, I'm going to send these guys back to office. And the fact is that we continue to get the same thing over and over and over again. We do, but sadly, there's just not, you know, at least according to the national standards

[00:21:35] that we have set for decades, and I'm not agreeing with them one bit, but the national standards are we believe in parties, so you've got to be one of the two parties or you can't make it anywhere. And then if you're one of the two parties, you've got to follow the good old boy plan. You've got to be a senator or a governor or a billionaire or a billionaire or whatever you've got to be in order to become president. And so because of all those, you know, accepted guidelines, and I'm not saying that I accept them at all. I'm just telling you they exist and people believe in them and uphold them, sadly.

[00:22:03] Who could be actually president of the United States in 2028? I mean, we don't have anybody on the national stage that has a chance on this green earth because of the control of the media and the good old boy networks of the two parties. We don't have a single honorable person that I believe could be put up that we could actually vote for. Well, I'm quite... That would actually have a real prayer, right? I'm quite... Yeah, the real prayer thing is that the people believe the R and the D, and principles go by the wayside.

[00:22:29] I mean, I think that J.D. Vance is a complete creation of the elite, and he's come through those ranks. I believe that Marco Rubio... What's that, Sam? Yeah, of course. Agreed. 100%. Marco Rubio is... He's not qualified in the original intent of the founding fathers to be a natural-born citizen. I believe that AOC and those of her ilk are absolutely contrary to everything that was... This nation was founded on.

[00:22:58] I believe that, well, Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris, and you pick anybody that's out there in the... They're all creations of the system. They're basically peddled by the media as the rock stars, but who could we really put up? I mean, name two or three, maybe five candidates. Who could really be serious presidential contender in our modern world? Well, we don't have any that are in the media's eye right now. We just plain and simple do not. Right. And what do we need to do to make that happen?

[00:23:28] First off, we have to pick the people, right? We first got to fix the people. Fix the people's understanding. If people do not understand the baseline principles, if we don't know what the basis of our liberty is... No, I understand, but there's a few people that know. You know, and I know pretty well, and several people know. You know what? We try hard, but there's not as many friends as we'd like to accept, I don't think.

[00:23:55] And that's why I say that I don't believe we can change the trajectory we're on. Is it hopeless? Of course not. We can trust in God Almighty. He loves us. He sits in his heavens, and he's got control of everything ultimately. But we're going to use our agency and experience some rough times because the Lord set up this nation to share freedom with the world and to create a righteous people to receive their Lord Jesus Christ when he returns. And I think right now there's a small contingent getting ready for Christ to return.

[00:24:25] Most don't know, don't care. And it's up to us to educate and share and love and set the example and provide the leadership. And that's what this whole program is about, promoting God, family, and country as the ultimate solutions to the problems we face as we protect life, liberty, and property. For Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com, I'm Sam Bushman. God save our constitutional republic.
