DEMS Let 18K Terrorists into America plus Trump Leads on AI & Moving to Designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization

1. National Security Concerns

• We open with alarming claims that 18,000 known or suspected terrorists have entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, allegedly due to lax border security.
• The source cited is testimony from Joe Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing.
• Specific examples include Afghan nationals linked to terrorist organizations who entered under the Operation Allies Welcome program.
• The conversation emphasizes the risks posed by "got-aways" (migrants who evade border patrol) and criticizes the administration for prioritizing politics over security.

2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and U.S. Leadership

• The second segment focuses on President Trump’s executive order aimed at centralizing AI regulation to prevent fragmented state-level rules.
• Senator Cruz frames AI as the “economic battle of the 21st century”, comparing it to the U.S. winning the internet race in the 1990s.
• Whoever leads in AI will shape global values—either American principles of liberty or China’s model of surveillance and control.
• Trump’s remarks highlight the need for a single federal approval system to accelerate AI development and maintain U.S. dominance.

3. Designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization

• Senator Cruz advocates for legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates as terrorist organizations.
• He explains a shift from a top-down approach (targeting the global organization) to a bottom-up strategy (starting with affiliates like Hamas).
• The discussion notes bipartisan support but criticizes the House for weakening the bill.
• Cruz stresses that allies such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have already designated the group as a terrorist organization.
