Twenty five years later the cameras are everywhere, artificial intelligence is being attached to them, and the man who tried to stop it says Americans gave up their privacy without ever having the debate. Jenny Beth Martin sits down with him for the full hour on where the security state came from, what September 11 permanently changed about American life, and why he says you cannot be completely secure and be free at the same time.
Guest: Jim Gilmore, 68th Governor of Virginia, former Attorney General of Virginia, former Chairman of the Republican National Committee, former United States Ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and Chairman of the National Commission on Homeland Security.
Today's topics:
The red light camera bill he vetoed as governor, and the veto message that said young Virginians should not grow up believing a camera is watching them
Why the legislature overrode that veto, and what he says it opened the door to
Flock cameras, artificial intelligence, and the bill he would introduce today to ban community camera surveillance
Why he calls September 11 a watershed that turned America into a security society
The Fourth Amendment question behind constant monitoring, and what happens to innocent until proven guilty
Why he is not worried about socialism as a movement, and why affordability is the frustration socialist candidates are exploiting
What the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence meant to him at Monticello
Why he calls Europe the pivot of the twenty first century, and what Ukrainian cabinet ministers told him in 2022
Where he agrees with President Trump on allies paying their share, and where he does not
His homework list for viewers: read the Declaration of Independence, read Putin's essay, watch the Tucker Carlson interview, and read the book Red Famine
