Are we going to some big news? We are learning now that Donald Trump has suffered a major loss when it comes to a sexual assault case that he was trying to overturn.
We are now hearing that one of the Supreme Court justices are trying to defy Donald Trump and saying that she is independent.
I also have a story about how I believe AI needs to be completely and utterly regulated.
And this story that I'm about to tell you really helps explain why that is.
Now, first, let's get to this story here about Trump suffering this awful loss from E. Jean Carroll.
Donald Trump has failed to overturn an $83 million defamation verdict against New York writer E. Jean Carroll,
who accused the president of sexually assaulting her in Manhattan Department Store in the 1990s.
It goes on to say, this is the three-judge panel speaking.
The jury's duly rendered damages awards were reasonable in light of the extraordinary and egregious facts of this case.
Trump has spent more than 18 months.
fighting the decision, which was handed down in January 24,
after a civil jury found him liable for defaming Carol.
In this case was the first time that Trump,
who has been accused of sexual harassment or assault
by more than two dozen women since the 1970s,
had been held accountable in court for his alleged treatment of women.
He has denied every allegation.
He can deny that stuff, but I'll tell you this.
I suppose if one or two people had accused Donald
Trump of sexual assault, I would be like, okay, with one or two, maybe they're trying to get money.
24 people, 24, one for each hour of the day, accuse this man of sexual assault.
And you're telling me every single one of them is lying. That's their defense? Absolutely not.
So, congrats to E. Jean Carroll, who has been able to finally draw some blood from Donald Trump
and give him consequences. He is allergic to them. For some reason, we cannot.
get this man to face consequences, but this woman has. And by him trying to try to throw this out,
it actually worked against him because he tried to overthrow the $83 million verdict.
Trump had argued that the judgment was both excessive and invalid following a Supreme Court
decision last year that expanded his presidential immunity. However, the panel for the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Second Court held that Trump, quote, has failed to identify any grounds
that would warrant reconsider our prior holding unpresidential muting quote were not persuaded that
Joseph's rose. I want to end with what Eugene Carroll said. The last thing I care about is money.
The first thing I care about is knowing the truth. That's why I'm giving away the $80 million
she added. It would cover the money I want to use it to piss him off, which I have to applaud her for.
So thank you, Eugen Carroll, for actually standing up for yourself, for standing up for so many survivors
of him. And, you know, I just think it's...
a great day now. I'm not sure where this is going to go because the Supreme Court, more than likely
than not, you're going to take it up because they take up everything. But I guess Amy Coney Barrett is saying
that she's defying Donald Trump. She says here to USA Today, Barrett, who is 53, maintain that she is, quote,
nobody's justice. Barrett says she doesn't like to be called a swing voter, quote, swing, I think,
implies indecisiveness. You just kind of blow back and forth, she said, and that's not how I approach
law at all. And she also said that she is not Donald Trump's justice, and she might wonder if he had
the wrong number if he were to ever call her. Okay. Well, I guess that's, does anyone find that to be
at all relieving? I don't know. I don't know if I trust her. I don't trust them because there have been a
rubber stamp on this presidency. So many things he has done to either overthrow the Constitution,
to expand this power or to hurt and run over the rights of so many people.
And the Supreme Court has stamped it.
Now, she's doing this because she's promoting a $2 million book.
I guess you got in advance to write a book.
And I just got to say, before we move on to this AI story, call me crazy.
But you might think this is crazy.
I think we should pay these folks more Supreme Court justices, the president, Congress.
Because I think the reason why we suffer from a.
problem with corruption is one, culture, two, because these folks just don't make enough money.
Like, I don't think a Supreme Court justice should be taking any money to write about anything.
Personally, I do think they should be adequate.
They have important jobs.
They make important decisions.
And if they are following the law and they're not corrupt, they should get a good salary,
certainly more than what they're making now.
So they don't ever feel the need to have to do this sort of shit.
But $2 million for a book to me is disgusting when your job is to serve the people.
and you're using that position to serve yourself.
Maybe that's naive. I don't know.
Anyways, what's not naive is that an AI-generated band got a million plays and no one knew it was
AI. Now Spotify is under fire for it.
Initially, the band described itself as synthetic music and did not tell anyone it was AI.
And then later it was revealed that it is AI.
Now, I have to say, there are a few things about this that I don't like.
I don't think any platform should be getting attacked for this.
Like Apple, Spotify, they are platforms.
But the reason why we have clean drinking water,
the reason why flights used to be safe and run on time
is because of government regulation.
And I think that as this AI thing happens,
because this band, I mean, wasn't really that big a deal.
I'm sure they got more pressed from it,
From this being found out than they did from, like they have more attention now than they did when they were just making AI music, to me is a sign that we need to regulate this stuff.
But the problem is, is that we have Sam Altman, Tim Cook, Mark Zuckerberg, of course, in that video where he was just conspiring the president.
Like, how much do you want me to say?
I hope that was enough.
So I'm not completely sure we're ever going to regulate AI.
It seems like he's just in the pocket of big tech.
Big tech is throwing stuff in his pocket.
But if we want to fix this AI problem, and I think it is a problem, what we need to do is regulated.
Now, Congress was able to pass the Take Down Act that criminalizes deep fakes and sexually explicit material that uses your likeness.
That's good. That's good.
There's also the No Fakes Act, which would require digital fingerprinting, give First Amendment exclusions, have federal rights of publicity, which to me,
It sounds like a good solution for this.
It says it is a bipartisan federal bill introduced in the U.S. Congress in 2025
to predict individuals from unauthorized AI generated digital leprechaucas of their face,
of their voice and likeness.
Sounds good to me.
There's a lot of things we can do with AI.
We got to regulate it.
And so I hope we do.
I hope, I don't know, couldn't Congress pass a law?
That'd be exceptional.
A law that actually helps people, not hurts them.
And then we've got to pay them more.
Well, thank you for watching.
