The Jeff Dornik Show

I joined Jayne Carroll on The Jayne Carroll Radio Show for a wide-ranging conversation about what artificial intelligence is doing to our kids, our ability to think, our families and ultimately our humanity. We talked about homeschooling, the collapse of critical thinking, parents surrendering more of their responsibility to institutions and technology, the race with China, and Silicon Valley’s vision of a future where AI and robots do the work while human beings live on universal basic income. AI can be an incredibly useful tool, but when the goal becomes replacing human thought, work, struggle and responsibility, we are building a society that may have access to all the world’s knowledge while forgetting how to think for ourselves.

OANN’s David Pollack joins The Jeff Dornik Show to break down the growing fracture inside MAGA, where some former Trump supporters say Trump 2.0 has abandoned key promises of the America First agenda, while Trump loyalists continue defending the direction of his administration. We dig into what is actually driving the divide, which issues have become the breaking point, whether the GOP can hold its coalition together heading into the 2026 midterms, and what this internal battle could mean as Republicans begin looking toward the 2028 presidential election.

I joined Shaun and Gina on Third Railify alongside Pickax Director of Creator Success Trevor Shipman for nearly four hours of social media, AI, censorship, creator monetization and absolute chaos. We get into why I built Pickax, why algorithm-driven platforms are designed to keep people angry and addicted, how creators are increasingly becoming training data for the AI systems that could eventually replace them, and what Trevor is building to put creators and actual human connection back at the center of social media. Somehow we also found time for jarred farts, Bigfoot bait, questionable peanut butter branding and several conversations no respectable tech CEO should probably ever have on camera.

Reason magazine Senior Editor Stephanie Slade joins me to discuss her new book, Fusionism: Liberty, Virtue and the Future of the American Right, and one of the biggest philosophical fights happening inside American conservatism. Slade makes the case for fusionism, the marriage of individual liberty, limited government and free markets with the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue, while examining the rise of postliberalism and a more power-oriented right associated with figures including Donald Trump and JD Vance. We get into whether conservatives can use government power to impose good outcomes without eventually handing those same weapons to their political opponents, what happened to the old coalition of libertarians, social conservatives and fiscal conservatives, and whether liberty and virtue still have a future together on the American Right.

Jovan Hutton Pulitzer returns to The Jeff Dornik Show for what should be a fascinating disagreement over AI data centers. Jovan believes much of the opposition to these massive projects is being fueled by Chinese propaganda designed to slow America down while China races ahead in artificial intelligence. I’m not convinced. China absolutely has every incentive to manipulate the debate, but that doesn’t mean Americans suddenly stop having legitimate concerns about electricity, water, natural resources and what these enormous facilities mean for their local communities. And there’s an even bigger question nobody seems eager to ask: even if America wins the AI race, is the AI-driven future we’re racing toward actually a world we want to live in? Jovan and I are both conservatives, but we come at this issue from very different directions. This should get interesting.

What happens when a tech CEO decides the goal of social media shouldn’t be keeping you addicted? I joined this X Spaces to talk about why I built Pickax around an idea that sounds almost revolutionary in 2026: human beings should actually be able to connect with other human beings without an algorithm deciding what they’re allowed to see. We get into bot farms, AI-generated slop, censorship, creator monetization, digital addiction, why Big Tech keeps putting itself between creators and their audiences, and why I apparently committed Silicon Valley heresy by deliberately building a platform that doesn’t want to hijack your dopamine receptors. Social media used to be social. Crazy concept, I know.

Vish Burra joins The Jeff Dornik Show LIVE exclusively on Rumble as we dig into a pretty basic question that somehow feels increasingly complicated: What exactly does the Republican Party stand for? With the GOP’s first-ever midterm convention wrapping up in Dallas, we’ll talk about what Republicans are actually asking voters to support in 2026, what happens to the party when Trump leaves office after 2028, and whether there is a coherent vision beyond one political personality. Plus, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, we look back at the attack that briefly united America, the promise that we would “never forget,” and how dramatically the country has changed since then.

I joined Bill Meyer on The Bill Meyer Show for a wide-ranging conversation about where the AI race is actually taking us, including massive data centers, quantum computing, the threat to encryption and privacy, bot farms manipulating online narratives, and Elon Musk’s vision of a future where AI and humanoid robots could replace much of the human workforce. We also dug into the growing fight over whether legitimate concerns about AI infrastructure are being dismissed as Chinese propaganda, why I believe the real prize in this technological race is power rather than money, and why “winning” could leave us choosing between Terminator and WALL-E while the safest cybersecurity strategy ends up being a notebook and a pen.

I joined Dan Ball on Real America on OANN to talk about the growing fight over AI data centers, and there’s a little more nuance here than “build everything immediately or China wins.” Yes, America needs to win the AI and quantum computing race. But that doesn’t mean Big Tech gets a blank check to jack up your electric bill, drain local water supplies, replace American jobs and call every legitimate question “Chinese propaganda.” We get into Trump’s national security argument, why JD Vance is right to acknowledge the burden on individual Americans, the actual scale of the Chinese bot campaign, and why “but China!” cannot become Washington’s latest magic phrase for suspending common sense.

Apparently “America First” now comes with a terms-of-service agreement. Ann Vandersteel joins me on The Jeff Dornik Show for a wide-ranging conversation about what happens when political loyalty replaces actual principles, Republicans become afraid to criticize their own side and Americans are kept fighting over personalities while the donor class, intelligence apparatus and technocrats keep accumulating power. We get into Trump 2.0, the AI and data-center gold rush, Elon Musk and X Money, universal basic income, censorship, corporate-government partnerships, the Federal Reserve, the IRS, media access journalism and why surrendering constitutional rights to beat China still leaves you without constitutional rights. The bigger question is simple: are we actually putting Americans first, or just building a shinier digital prison with an American flag hanging out front?
