Good evening and welcome to the Worldview Report.

Leading off tonight, Zero Hedge reports that shares of US-based technology company Oracle surged as much as 6.5% following news that President Donald Trump plans to help raise billions of dollars in private-sector investment to expand the U.S. infrastructure for artificial intelligence. 

OpenAI, Softbank, and Oracle will be part of the joint venture called Stargate. The heads of the tech firms plan to invest $100 billion, then up to $500 billion over four years, in building AI infrastructure across the US. This means data centers. Massive buildings designed to collect and process data. Running these centers requires huge amounts of water and energy.

SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, Sam Altman of OpenAI, and Larry Ellison of Oracle appeared in the White House on Tuesday afternoon with Trump to announce the launching of Stargate. 

According to sources, Stargate will begin with a massive data center in Texas, with additional AI projects planned across other states. Other investors are expected to join the venture.

Trump, standing with the three tech CEOs at the White House, said:

“I’m going to help a lot through emergency declarations. Because we have an emergency and we need a lot of help. We need energy generation and they will build their own.”

He said Stargate will build the infrastructure to power the “next generation of AI and this will include data centers. Massive facilities. These are big beautiful buildings.”

He said a team is already out scouting the nation for sites on which to build new data centers, adding:

“This is to me a very big deal. It could lead to something that could be the biggest of all.”

Larry Ellison talked about combining the forces of AI and mRNA gene therapy to create a “cancer vaccine.”

He said:

“We’re talking about early cancer detection with a blood test, and using AI to look at the blood test, you can find the cancers that are actually seriously threatening the person. Then beyond that, once we gene-sequence, that cancerous tumor, you can then vaccinate the person, and design a vaccine for each individual person against their particular cancer, robotically using AI and have that vaccine available in about 48 yours.”

Ellison said this was the “wave of the future” for cancer treatment.

The world has yet to fully recognize the extent of change artificial intelligence will bring to every aspect of human life, the CEO of the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund Mubadala told CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos Tuesday.

Khaldoon Al Mubarak, managing director of the $330 billion fund, told CNBC’s Dan Murphy:

“In terms of the risks ... this is a technology that no one today really appreciates, truly the level of disruption that it’s going to create, affecting everything from our lives, our businesses, human capital, employment, every sector is going to be disrupted.”

He added:

“And I think that while there’s a lot of opportunity, it also presents significant amount of risk, which is today unclear, because the technology is moving so fast and we’re all trying to catch up as much as possible.”

Al Mubarak outlined the push his investment fund has been making into AI and the infrastructure that supports the rapidly advancing technology, including data centers and chip manufacturing.

Mubadala is a founding investor in MGX, Abu Dhabi’s AI-focused investment vehicle. The fund took part in OpenAI’s latest fundraising round in October, which raised $6.6 billion. That same month, the wealth fund’s dedicated AI company, G42, announced a partnership with OpenAI to develop AI in the United Arab Emirates and regional markets.

In other news, President Trump has signed an executive order directing the United States to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.

The executive order reads:

“The United States Ambassador to the United Nations shall immediately submit formal written notification of the United States’ withdrawal from the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.”

As he signed the order, Trump said:

“I’m immediately withdrawing from the unfair one-sided Paris Climate Accord ripoff. The United States will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity.”

Ali Bradley of NewsNation reports that Mike Banks, former Border Patrol agent and Texas Border Czar, has assumed the position of the head of U.S. Border Patrol.

Banks issued a statement directing the Border Patrol under President Trump to halt the use of court dates for asylum hearings while reverting to Trump’s previous pursuit and use-of-force policy.

The directive reads:

No alien will be released from custody on an NTA/OR (court dates) or otherwise without approval from Deputy Chief (B2). (Exceptions are generally given for medical reasons). 

We will no longer refer to aliens as migrants, noncitizens, etc. The legal term is alien and as law enforcement we will use the legal term. 

#CBPOne app has been disabled, scheduled appointments have been cancelled and no further appointments will be granted. 

We will take a border security first approach. Threats should be prioritized based on risk and addressed in order of priority. 

In the coming days, the use of force and pursuit policies will revert back to versions in place during President Trump's previous administrations... Discussions are already occurring on training requirements for agents hired and trained after the previous administration's changes. 

Border barrier will be prioritized. We anticipate new investments and incomplete projects restarted.

When asked by a reporter Monday night if he would consider sending U.S. Special Forces into Mexico to deal with the drug cartels that he had just declared to be foreign terrorist organizations, President Trump responded this way.

Bloomberg reports that the government of India is prepared to work with Donald Trump’s administration to identify and take back all its citizens residing illegally in the US, an early signal from New Delhi that it’s willing to comply with the incoming American president to avoid a trade war.

The two countries have together identified at least 18,000 illegal Indian migrants in the US who need to be sent back home, according to sources familiar with the matter, although the numbers could be much larger. 

The figure could be much higher because Indian illegals tend not to be on government welfare rolls. They keep a low profile, often while running business or working in technology.

Like several other nations, India is working behind the scenes to appease the Trump administration and avoid its threatened use of 100 percent tariffs. The crackdown on illegal aliens has been a signature campaign pledge for Trump. Within hours of his inauguration Monday, he moved to fulfill that pledge as he pushed to end birthright citizenship for illegals and mobilize troops on the US-Mexico border.

In return for its cooperation, India hopes the Trump administration will protect legal immigration channels used by its citizens to enter the US, in particular the student visas and the H-1B program for foreign workers. Indian citizens accounted for almost three-fourths of the 386,000 H-1B visas granted in 2023, according to official data.

The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has rejected a lawsuit demanding the records of thousands of ineligible voters who actually voted in elections.

The Wisconsin Voter Alliance (WVA) filed the lawsuit seeking information about people deemed incompetent to vote.

The WVA wants access to data on those voters to ensure the state’s registration list is accurate.

The group is suing Walworth County and a dozen other counties throughout the state.

But the state Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of the case.

The lawsuit was rejected on procedural grounds, raising the chance that it could return.

Wisconsin’s top court rejected WVA’s case on technical grounds, finding a lower appeals court wrongly leapfrogged the case.

One appeals court based in the state’s liberal capital, Madison, rejected the lawsuit, while another, in Waukesha, overturned the Madison court and ruled in favor.

When an appeals court disagrees with a previous appeals court ruling, it has “two options,” neither of which were taken here, the Supreme Court said.

In her ruling, the court’s liberal chief justice wrote that the Wisconsin Supreme Court must reject the Waukesha court’s ruling, otherwise “litigants would feel encouraged to litigate issues ‘multiple times in the four districts.’”

Rep. Elise Stefanik pledged Tuesday to push President Donald Trump's America First agenda if confirmed as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and that would include a full review of U.S. funding critical for U.N. operations and its many agencies around the world.

Noting that the U.S. is the largest single contributor to the United Nations, Stefanik said at her confirmation hearing that the country has to ensure its investments are making America safer, stronger and more prosperous, echoing Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comments from just hours earlier.

Stefanik said in her opening remarks before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:

“Our tax dollars should not be complicit in propping up entities that are counter to American interests, antisemitic, or engaging in fraud, corruption or terrorism.”

She stressed the need to reform the U.N., particularly in the area where several resolutions have passed condemning Israel over its war in Gaza. 

She also said the U.N. has not lived up to its founding mission after World War II to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.

Lawmakers noted the ability for American rivals Russia and China to veto resolutions in the most powerful U.N. body, the Security Council, notably Moscow's blocking of any condemnation of its invasion of Ukraine.

Senator Jim Risch, the Republican committee chairman from Idaho, set the tone by sharply criticizing the U.N., saying Stefanik “can bring much-needed change.”

He called for a reevaluation of every U.N. agency to determine if its actions benefit America, adding:

"At this point, the U.S. should seriously examine if further contributions and, indeed, participation in the U.N. is even beneficial to the American people.”

The United States pays just over one-fifth of the U.N.’s regular budget, and Stefanik was questioned repeatedly about U.S. support for its multiple agencies, which tackle everything from health, education and migration to reproductive rights and nuclear proliferation.

Time now for our nightly Worldview Report commentary.

Just hours after President Trump signed executive orders to crack down on illegal immigration, and another that says the government will only recognize the two sexes, male and female, Episcopalian Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde decided this was the perfect opportunity to politically weaponize her sermon.

In a cathedral full of people, and President Trump and his family sitting in front of her, she urged the president to show mercy to illegal aliens and transgender youth.

Standing at the pulpit of the National Cathedral, the bishop stated:

"There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, some in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives."

It is unclear why they fear for their lives... Has Trump ever threatened any of their lives? I don’t recall ever hearing him do that.

But the bishop was not done. She had more to lecture the president with, adding:

“The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals...

...they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals.”

She noted that those workers “pay taxes” and are “faithful members” of U.S. churches, mosques, synagogues and temples, arguing that their children “fear their parents are going to be taken away.”

She then called on Trump to “Find compassion.”

I must say, whoever was in charge of vetting this preacher for such an important event as this really dropped the ball. All they had to do was visit the National Cathedral’s website and it fully shows what she’s all about. Social justice. Environmental extremism. She has spoken at rallies on behalf of Black Lives Matter, an organization founded by two self-described Marxists.

Mr. President, if you need help vetting folks in the religious community, we offer you our services. We have 35 years of experience in this field.

Your presidency would benefit greatly from a deeper understanding of religion and spirituality in America. Those who claim to be men and women of the cloth can’t all be lumped into the same pot. They’re not all the same, as I think you found out in that so-called church service on your first full day in office. 

You shouldn’t have had to sit through that, Mr. President. You shouldn’t have had to listen to her lies, which were amplified by the massive stage your presence awarded her. 

If I can be honest, Mr. President, this woman you saw behind the pulpit wears the robes of an Episcopal bishop, but in reality, she’s little more than a liberal activist. And she should not have been confused with a legitimate bearer of the gospel message. 

That does it for this edition of the Worldview Report. Thanks for tuning in and supporting this broadcast.

Until next time…
