I'm glad you made this video, I can recall when my husband died of cancer, things got hard for me and my son  until $76, 000 biweekly began rolling in, and my Life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer. Thank you, God!

Why would he appoint anyone that wouldn’t be loyal to what we just voted for?

[gaylahuerta]

And that as as it should be because there is so much harm that has been done to our country he needs the cooperation of his many as possible

Why should the government stop Meta from generating AI content? If it’s bad content, people won’t consume it.

I don’t like Jon Thune nor Rubio they’re gonna make Trump’s life miserable they’re part of the swamp

20:00 the polling of opinion of the Staffers of congress, White House, etc reflect the everyday people, so yes there is bi-partisan support for government regulation of big business and to reign in big Tech, but that has nothing to do with the people they work for will actually do!!

[benlagging]

Secretary of State has not even been announced as yet. I hope Trump makes great choices right off the bat. Thats what we need. SO far it looks great. Not sure about this Rubio business.

Elon Musk involved in the government gets to regulate AI and Google will be there too so it is private industry regulating AI.
