Trump and Silicon Valley’s plan to rule the world with AI weapons

All Episodes

September 9, 2025 • 53 mins

The unnerving alliance between Big Tech and the second Trump administration goes much deeper than many in the public realize. What factors are motivating President Trump and Silicon Valley’s monumental investments in “artificial intelligence” infrastructure and the expanded integration of “AI” into military and governmental operating systems? What is their endgame? What will their vision of an AI future mean for the rest of us? In his new investigative series Military AI Watch, produced in partnership with Project Censored, award-winning science reporter Peter Byrne explores “how Silicon Valley, corporate media, the Department of Defense, the banking industry, and scientific institutions all intersect in the effort to militarize AI.” In this episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc speaks with Byrne and TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez about “AI” today and the techno-dystopian future on the horizon.
