As Big Tech accelerates into the AI frontier, Larry Ward delivers a bold warning and a hopeful vision rooted in American values. This isn’t just about machines—it’s about morality, sovereignty, and the survival of human freedom.
In Episode 65 of the Try That in a Small Town podcast, Larry Ward sees the AI revolution not as a sci-fi fantasy, but as a moral and national reckoning. And he’s exactly right.
Tech Without Morality Is Tyranny in Disguise
The leftist elites driving AI innovation aren’t interested in making life easier—they’re interested in making you easier to control. From algorithmic censorship to predictive policing, AI has already been weaponized by globalists and bureaucrats who loathe the Constitution and fear an awake, armed, and informed population.
Ward’s take? “It’s not AI we should be scared of—it’s the people who own it.”
Larry Ward issues a prophetic warning that AI is becoming a digital idol—a man-made “god” being trained by those who reject absolute truth. As he rightly points out, morality doesn’t come from machines; it comes from God. And any system that attempts to separate technology from truth is destined to become oppressive.
While the left sees AI as a tool to replace prayer, parenting, and patriotism, Americans in small towns know better. You don’t need a chatbot to teach your kids right from wrong—you need a Bible, a backbone, and a parent.
Despite the caution, Ward offers hope: If everyday Americans, especially those outside the urban elite bubble, take a stand now, AI can be shaped for good. He urges for legislation that aligns with the Constitution, ethical standards driven by faith, and community involvement in tech oversight.
Let Silicon Valley scoff. Let the mainstream media sneer. But the truth is, freedom-loving Americans must lead the conversation about AI before it leads us off a cliff.
