On Monday Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) attended the press briefing on the flooding disaster in Kerr County Texas this past weekend. Over 100 people have now been confirmed dead in the flash floods that hit the popular camping area south of San Antonio.
Steve Bannon later pointed out that it was Ted Cruz who was the shill for Big Tech on the new AI rules in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.
Steve Bannon: Welcome back. I’m going to go to Berquam. Let me be blunt about Senator Cruz Bruce. We’re going to contact his office and ask him about all the evidence he’s seen that shows there’s nothing. We’re not saying that this is manmade, but in this area of responsibility and what took place, you have to look at everything, and we’re going to look at everything.
Right now, I’ve got my team reaching out to his office. We just want to see what evidence. He says we’ve seen no evidence. What evidence is he talking about? Right? It’s because it hasn’t been investigated yet.
Is this because Ted Cruz… Remember, Ted Cruz was the shill for… Yes, I’m going to go here today on this. Ted Cruz was the shill for Big Tech on the AI bill.
Ted Cruz’s solution on the Artificial Intelligence Bill was to, if you’re a state and put in laws or restrictions or regulations against artificial intelligence, you would lose access to rural broadband. He was holding the MAGA movement hostage. He lied that night, says, Oh, they got three votes a long night. He got blown out 99 to one. He’s shilling right there for Big Tech.
The US Senate did manage to successfully strip the 10-year ban on state-level artificial intelligence laws. During the Senate’s “vote-a-rama,” it voted 99 to 1 to adopt an amendment that will strike the restrictions on state-level regulations from the spending bill. This was Ted Cruz’s baby and it was stripped from the Big Beautiful Bill by both sides of the aisle.
