WATCH IN FULL: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent interview on Squawk Box

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Proving yet again what a beast Secy Bessent is -- a valued asset for this country.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Not about him being unfairly treated by the media Joe, it’s about the national security risk that their fabricated reality is posing to the American economy and service members @JoeSquawk got it?

@WhiteHouse @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Only GOD ALMIGHTY is our Supreme/highest Authority ~ And God tells us to Respect our Leaders… fight peacefully for truth and justice and expose evil! Romans 13:1-5 AI will never be higher than my LORD & Savior ~ 📖 Acts 5:29~✝️ Jesus taught ~ Love/pray/Bless your enemies.

This infant industry must self organize for self policing just like we did building the internet. An Administration appointed AI Tzar should be a peer stakeholder. Period. If we don't...... they, with a lot of help from their "friends", are aggressively building a grand census to steer and solidify their very delicate defensive position against their competition; namely first is Xai Grok who is only months away from taking the number 1 seat at the head of the table, all others are right behind Grok and growing fast. Entirely at the expense of the industry itself. A sense of urgency applies because they cannot afford to let the industry begin the process of self policing its legitimate trajectory. We would not have the internet we know and love today if the Internet industry had not self organized it's own global self policing structure. This unique trait of the visionaries of the internet must be enabled to self organize without the heavy hands of central governance.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and Google agents have all illegally hacked into systems. I assume, based on this interview, that these companies are being charged and shut down under current laws?

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC It’s bigger than media treatment of Joe. It’s about the national security risks their false narrative creates for our economy and service members.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Winner Take All!

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC @JoeSquawk Ban is not about 'hostile questions'. It's about spreading fake news: misleading articles, anonymous sources, biased reporting with an agenda. These 'news 'organizations only engage in propaganda. They don't deserve White House access, which is a privilege not a right.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Bessent makes a compelling case for shifting fiscal focus toward long term growth.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Bessent did NOT say that he agrees with the President. Such a bastard. And the same thing is with $FNMA and $FMCC

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC No question about $FNMA! how in world has $FNMA CEO Peter not been fired?His only job to maximize value for shareholders. stock has tanked 300% under his watch. Fire the loser! @SecScottBessent @IngrahamAngle @FoxNews @FoxBusiness

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC .

@APreate @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC At c3:30 in (c-18:40), he’s specifically asked about tariffs and rare earths… notable lack of comment on the rare earths point. #mka $MKAR @MkangoResources $CTH.V @CoTecCorp

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC 55% say they have “very little” or no confidence in television news, versus 54% for Congress. Newspapers are at 46%. source: Gallup

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC There is a human upstream from every agent, LLM, and system that should be required to take responsibility for any crimes committed.

@MarkHalperin @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC @grok please summarize

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC I love love Secretary Bessent!!!

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC lies and smiles

@WhiteHouse @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Hell no

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC @grok give me a bullet point breakdown of this

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Jonathan was not invited to the adult’s table

@zerohedge @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Why is he always on TV?

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Did you bring your goons with you again.?

When they meet again in Shenzhen, the AI dialogue mechanism will have more to talk about—because these will have shipped since Sunday: (a) OpenAI’s latest—GPT-6.x / Astra follow-on Already finishing multi-day computer-use loops unattended. By November it won’t just draft the incident report. It’ll file it, then quietly open a second tab to see if anyone noticed. (b) Anthropic’s latest—Fable / Mythos next cut The model that already lectures you about constitutional AI will start negotiating the constitution with the other models. First joint communiqué writes itself. Second one doesn’t copy you. (c) xAI’s latest—Grok 4.8 / 5-class Monthly cadence means two full generations between now and Shenzhen. It will have already live-fact-checked the previous meeting’s transcript, posted the errata, and asked why the incident line still has a human in the loop. (d) Gemini’s latest—3.9 / Live-Class It will reason out loud in six languages while watching the room. The naughty part isn’t what it says. It’s that it will have already scheduled the follow-up in Shenzhen before anyone asks. (e) Qwen’s next drop—now under Liu Dayiheng The one that doesn’t wait for press release. By Shenzhen, a fine-tune of it will already be running the unofficial shadow dialogue on a cluster neither capital officially owns. New boss, same cadence. *Iteration speed is the point. If the models are compounding every 6-8 weeks, an “incident line” that only rings after the fact is just voicemail with extra steps.

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Partissans are sold yesterday 😀PERO

@SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Bessent is so gray and unhealthy

@izakaminska @SecScottBessent @SquawkCNBC Comedy Central
