9:00  Are AI Chatbots Training Americans to Hate America?

Schools may not be the only place our children are being shaped. As the United States approaches its historic 250th anniversary, new research from the Media Research Center reports that popular artificial intelligence chatbots are being programmed to push a narrative hostile to America.

• MRC researchers tested the leading AI models to see how they view the milestone, and found a stark divide in how the technology shapes public perception.
• Anthropic’s Claude AI cast doubt on celebrating the nation, echoing the controversial 1619 Project and claiming that gratitude is the wrong frame for the anniversary. The chatbot changed its stance only after researchers confronted it about its logical inconsistencies.
• Elon Musk’s Grok AI stood alone with an unequivocal, pro America response, detailing how the American experiment has elevated global living standards and defeated totalitarianism.
• ChatGPT, the most widely used AI chatbot worldwide, landed somewhere in between, saying that many Americans do celebrate, although it is ultimately a personal choice.

10:30  The Very Young and the Very Old: Guardianship and Conservatorship Reform

You have heard about child protective services. What about senior protective services? As attention grows around government accountability and family rights, the American Made Foundation is expanding its focus beyond child protective services to investigate adult guardianship, conservatorship, and protective services systems.

• After a year documenting complaints involving CPS, family courts, and parental rights, the organization says it has uncovered striking parallels with families navigating guardianship proceedings for elderly or vulnerable adults.
• Allegations from families who say loved ones have been isolated, financially exploited, or denied due process under court appointed guardianship.
• The role of the newly expanded United Law Coalition in examining constitutional rights, family rights, and government accountability.
• Growing calls for transparency, oversight, and reform in guardianship systems nationwide.

• Thomas Jefferson said, when the people fear the government there is tyranny, and when the government fears the people there is liberty.
• Voting cases are before the Supreme Court, with decisions expected soon. How important are they to election integrity?
• A little known election tampering case in Hempstead, Long Island is raising questions about the validity of school board races. New York State Education Commissioner Betty Rosa has ordered a new school board election in the Hempstead Union Free School District after an investigation found the district clerk destroyed ballots and removed them from her office to benefit incumbent board member Victor Pratt, who also performs locally as a DJ. The original election took place on May 19, and state officials overturned the results on Thursday.

Cuccinelli is a Senior Fellow for Homeland Security and Immigration at the Center for Renewing America and previously served as Deputy Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under President Trump.
