## Resource

Trump is talking about making the American public a "partner" in AI companies. Nate says that is not public ownership. That is government control. Today on Good Morning Liberty, Nate breaks down the latest Israel-Iran ceasefire confusion, Trump saying he "calls the shots," and why Israel's actions raise a hard question about client states, defense spending, and escalation. Then we get into the main issue: Trump praising parts of Bernie Sanders' economic thinking while floating a government stake in AI companies. Why would AI companies want this? Preferential treatment, regulatory protection, data centers, federal land, and insulation from competition. Nate also responds to Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Dore arguing that corporations are more malicious than government, and explains why the worst corporate abuses usually come when corporations use state power.
