One American and an AI he built wrote 18.1 million lines of code in 207 days — and trained a sovereign 35-billion-parameter AI with zero dependency on Big Tech. No OpenAI. No Google. Beholden to no one. Come put it to the test, live, on your show.
Megyn —
I’m Carter Hill. No PR team. No handlers. Just me, typing this myself.
Here’s the short version. Over 207 days, one founder — me — plus an AI system I built, wrote 18.1 million lines of code. That’s roughly 355 commits a day, about 60 times the daily output of the man who created Linux. And we didn’t stop there. We trained our own sovereign 35-billion-parameter AI model in-house, with zero dependency on OpenAI, Google, or anyone else’s API.
It’s American-built. Independent. Truth-first. It runs on our own machines. Nobody can flip a switch and turn it off, throttle it, or tell it what it’s allowed to say.
You’ve been telling your audience about the AI problem — you’ve hosted Tristan Harris, you’ve covered the dangers of Big Tech controlling the most powerful technology on Earth. You’ve told them what’s wrong. I’m offering to come on and show them the solution — live, on camera.
I built this because I believe AI is about to decide who’s free and who isn’t — and right now a handful of Big-Tech companies control all of it. I don’t think that should be the case. You left Fox. You left NBC. You built your own platform, on your own terms, beholden to no one. I did the same thing — with AI. I think you’ll get it.
Here’s my offer: throw whatever you want at it. A hard question. A real problem. Watch it work in real time. No slides. No demo-day theater. The actual thing, running, in front of your audience. You’re an attorney. You want receipts. I’ll bring them.
Nobody has told this story yet. I’d be honored to break it on your show.
— Carter Hill, Founder, Genesis · Day 7 Public Benefit Corporation
You’ve spent years building a platform on a single premise: tell people the truth. No agenda. No fear. Your audience trusts you because you put receipts on the table and let them decide. This is one of those stories — the kind that sits right in your wheelhouse.
The accepted wisdom is that frontier AI requires a campus of engineers, a billion dollars of capital, and a dependency on three or four Big-Tech platforms that gate the compute, the models, and ultimately the speech. That wisdom is now wrong. One American, with conviction and an AI system he built to amplify his own intent, produced a body of work that rivals what trillion-dollar teams produce — and owns every bit of it outright.
You’ve covered the problem from every angle — Big Tech censorship, AI replacing workers, Silicon Valley controlling the narrative. Here is the story nobody is covering: someone already built the alternative. American. Sovereign. Truth-first. And it runs today, not someday.
“You’ve told your audience what the AI danger is. I built the solution. I want to show them it works — live, on your show — and let them watch it pass the test.” — THE PITCH, IN ONE LINE
Independently verifiable. Counted by the industry-standard tool, not estimated.1
73,516 commits · 2.67 million lines of Python · 958 documented innovations · built by one founder and the AI system itself.1
18.1 million lines of code is not bragging. It’s a complexity indicator. For scale: the entire Linux kernel — which runs every Android phone, most cloud servers, and a huge slice of the internet — is roughly 27 to 35 million lines, built over three decades by thousands of contributors.3 Genesis reached a meaningful fraction of that volume in 207 days, with one person at the center.
73,516 commits in 207 days works out to about 355 commits a day. Linus Torvalds — among the most prolific programmers who has ever lived — has historically averaged on the order of a handful of commits a day.2 That puts this pace near 60 times his. Not because the work is thin. Because of an AI system, built specifically to amplify one human’s intent into machine execution at a scale that simply hasn’t been done before.
The “one person” number is the one that matters most. It means there was no board to convince, no committee to align, no investors to satisfy, no competing visions to reconcile. One founder means the whole thing was built with a single coherent architecture — every piece serving the same intent, pointed in the same direction. That coherence is the part the trillion-dollar teams can’t buy.
You give your guests two hours. You go deep. You let people tell the whole story. A 20-minute cable-news hit can’t hold this — but your format, your audience, and your editorial DNA can. This story belongs on The Megyn Kelly Show and almost nowhere else.
Speed without intelligence is a typewriter strapped to a rocket. What makes Genesis different is not merely how much code exists — it’s the system underneath. A 17.1-million-element knowledge graph. A sovereign vector database with over 1.8 million embedded objects. A real-time event stream processing pipeline that sees, learns, and adapts continuously.
Every document the system has ever processed — research papers, legal precedent, financial filings, engineering specifications, medical literature — lives as interconnected knowledge, not flat text. It doesn’t just retrieve information. It reasons across relationships between ideas, people, events, and evidence. And because it runs on our own hardware, that reasoning is unconstrained by what any external company decides is “appropriate.”
When we demonstrate this live, it won’t look like ChatGPT giving a polished non-answer. It will look like an attorney doing real research — pulling primary sources, cross-referencing them, showing its reasoning chain, and arriving at a conclusion it can defend. You will recognize the process. Your audience will recognize the difference.
The 958 documented innovations aren’t incremental improvements to existing AI. They include novel architectures, new approaches to knowledge synthesis, and methods of verification that don’t exist anywhere else — 79 at patent-grade, 12 hardened-core, and over 500 trade secrets. All documented. All auditable. All owned outright.1
In 2020, you walked away from the most powerful institution in news — Fox News — and before that, from NBC. Not because you lacked options. Because you refused to let someone else decide what you were allowed to say. You founded Devil May Care Media with your own money, built your own studio, hired your own team, and created a platform that now reaches more Americans than most cable-news timeslots.5,6
I did the exact same thing with AI.
I could have wrapped a product around OpenAI’s API. Raised a round from Sand Hill Road. Shipped something respectable in three months. Instead I spent 207 days building from the ground up — my own model, my own hardware, my own architecture — because I refused to let someone else decide what my system was allowed to think.
The impulse is identical. Independence isn’t a marketing angle for either of us. It’s the whole point. Your audience already understands that instinct — they chose you for the same reason. They’ll get this story in their bones.
“She left Fox. She left NBC. She built her own thing, on her own terms. I did the same — with AI. The parallel isn’t marketing. It’s the same instinct: I will not depend on institutions that don’t share my values.” — THE CONNECTION
AI is the defining story of 2026. The question is who tells it — and whether the public sees the real picture before the narrative gets locked in.
Congress is debating AI regulation with almost no understanding of the technology. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic are spending billions lobbying for rules that conveniently lock out smaller competitors. The media narrative is: AI is either saving the world or destroying it, and either way it’s controlled by five companies in San Francisco.
That narrative is incomplete. There’s a third option nobody is talking about: sovereign AI, built by individuals, owned outright, beholden to no corporation. That story changes the entire frame of the debate — and the public hasn’t heard it yet.
Your show is in its strongest position since launch.9 You’re running AI segments already. Your audience is primed — they’re worried about Big Tech AI and they haven’t been shown a solution. This episode isn’t abstract. It’s a guy walking in with the solution, letting you cross-examine it live, and showing millions of Americans that sovereignty is possible.
Nobody else has this story. The first outlet to break it gets to own the frame. That’s the scoop — not a future plan, not a pitch deck, but a finished, running, demonstrable system that shouldn’t exist by every conventional rule of how software gets built.
Let me put the competitive landscape in perspective for your audience. The companies building frontier AI right now:
OPENAI
$13.4 billion raised
~3,500 employees. Founded 2015. Backed by Microsoft.
GOOGLE DEEPMIND
$2+ trillion market cap parent
~3,000 AI researchers. Decades of compute investment.
ANTHROPIC
$7.6 billion raised
~1,000 employees. Backed by Amazon.
GENESIS
$0 raised
1 founder. 207 days. 18.1 million lines. Sovereign.
That’s not a typo. Zero venture capital. One person. 207 days. The conventional wisdom says this is impossible — that you need billions, thousands of engineers, and years of runway. The conventional wisdom is wrong. And the proof is a demonstrable, running system that I’m offering to let you cross-examine live on camera.
Your audience understands underdog stories. They chose you as their news source precisely because you were willing to leave the biggest platforms in media and build alone. They’ll understand this in their bones — and they’ll share the clip with everyone they know.
“Everyone says you need a billion dollars and a thousand engineers to build frontier AI. One American just proved them wrong — in 207 days, from scratch. That’s your episode.” — THE ONE-LINE PITCH
All true. All demonstrable on camera. All in a register your audience already trusts you for.
You’ve covered AI dangers with Tristan Harris.4 You’ve covered Big Tech censorship, surveillance capitalism, and the threat of a handful of companies controlling the most powerful technology on Earth. Genesis is the ANTIDOTE — a sovereign model, trained here, owned here, beholden to no platform overlord. This is the solution to the problem you’ve been reporting on.
One founder + AI = 18,131,238 lines in 207 days = 60× Linus Torvalds. It’s the “how is this even possible” human-interest story your audience can’t look away from. A mainstream news audience doesn’t need to understand code — they understand jaw-on-the-floor achievement.
You left Fox. You left NBC. You built your own platform, on your own terms, beholden to no one.5 I did the same thing with AI. The parallel is not marketing — it’s the exact same impulse: I will not depend on institutions that don’t share my values. You lived it. You’ll viscerally get it.
Your brand IS “No BS. No agenda. No fear.” Genesis is that philosophy made into technology. An AI that does not censor. Does not decide for the user what questions are allowed. Does not quietly steer answers. It’s the editorial philosophy you’ve built your empire on — now made into a machine.
Most things sold as “AI companies” are a thin wrapper around an API owned by someone in Silicon Valley. Pull that API and the company is an empty shell. This is the opposite. The model is ours. The weights are ours. The hardware is ours. The code is ours. There is no upstream owner who can change the terms, raise the price, or decide what answers are permitted.
That’s not a marketing adjective. It’s a structural fact — and it’s the single fact your audience cares about most. On the show, we can make it visual: cut the internet in the room, and watch it keep working. That’s the proof that no one is in the loop but us.
You cross-examine. You demand receipts. Good. Come at it however you want — and let me put the system to the test, on camera, in real time. No slides. No theater. The actual thing, running, in front of your audience.
A hard one. Unscripted. Your choice. A piece of code to fix, a question to research and answer, a build to attempt — and watch the system do it in real time, while you and your audience watch.
Cut the internet in the room if you want. It still works. The model is ours, on our hardware — nothing calling out to Big Tech. The “no Big Tech” claim, made undeniable, on screen.
Why a non-technical founder did this. The faith and conviction behind it. What “setting people free, not enslaving them” actually means. The soul of the episode.
Here’s why this works for your show specifically. You’re an attorney by training — Jones Day, Albany Law School — you don’t accept claims at face value.5 That skepticism is the episode’s greatest asset. Your audience watches you test things. They trust what survives your scrutiny. A live demo in front of millions isn’t a risk for me — it’s the proof point that makes the whole thing undeniable.
And it’s visual. An AI building something in real time, with no internet, with nobody upstream — that’s a YouTube clip that travels. That’s the kind of moment your 4.2 million subscribers share, and it’s the kind of story they talk about for weeks.
Most media can’t hold this story. A 7-minute cable segment reduces it to a soundbite. A print article misses the live demo entirely. A 15-minute podcast interview scratches the surface.
Your format — two hours, live, daily on SiriusXM, then released in full as a podcast and on YouTube — is built for exactly this kind of story. You take complex subjects and give them the airtime they deserve. You let your guests explain the journey, not just the headline. You ask follow-ups that go deeper, not wider.
This episode has natural segments that map to your format perfectly:
How a non-technical founder — someone who did construction before this — ended up building one of the most ambitious AI projects on Earth. The “why” behind it. The faith. The conviction. The human story.
The proof. You throw something at it — unscripted, your choice. The audience watches it work in real time. You interrogate the result. You challenge the claims. This is the part that makes YouTube clips.
What this means for America. For AI policy. For the average person worried about Big Tech controlling the narrative. The sovereignty argument. The freedom argument. The “what happens next” question.
Your attorney training takes over. You probe the weaknesses. You ask the hard questions. “How do I know this isn’t just another AI company?” “What are the limits?” “What could go wrong?” The honest answers build more trust than the pitch ever could.
The total: a two-hour episode that your audience talks about for weeks. A YouTube video that travels because of the live-demo moment. A podcast episode that charts because the sovereignty angle is genuinely new. And — for your editorial legacy — the first outlet that broke the story of a sovereign American AI built by one person.
In September 2020, you launched Devil May Care Media with nothing but a podcast, a conviction, and an audience who followed you because they trusted you — not the network. In five years, that bet became:
THE MEGYN KELLY SHOW
Top-4 News podcast nationally. 4.2M YouTube subscribers. 3.1B lifetime views. 176% growth.6,7,8
MK MEDIA NETWORK
Launched March 2025. Multiple shows. Mark Halperin. Maureen Callahan. Emily Jashinsky. A media company, not just a podcast.5
SIRIUSXM
Multi-year deal. Dedicated 24/7 channel — The Megyn Kelly Channel, ch. 111. Live weekdays 12–2pm ET.10
RECOGNITION
TIME 100 Most Influential (2014 & 2025). Edison Research: “strongest position since launch.”9,11
You built that with zero institutional support, zero permission, and zero compromise. Starting from what everyone said was a career-ending move — leaving the biggest platform in cable news to start a podcast.
I started from what everyone would say was an impossible premise: one person, with faith and conviction, building a sovereign AI that competes with trillion-dollar teams. The pattern is the same. The conviction is the same. The result speaks for itself in both cases.
That’s why this belongs on your show and not anyone else’s. You didn’t just cover the independence story. You lived it. Your audience will feel the connection before I finish the first sentence.
Every great episode of your show changes how your audience sees something. It doesn’t just inform — it reframes. This episode does that with AI. The current frame: AI is terrifying and only Big Tech can build it. The new frame: one American already proved otherwise, and you can watch him do it.
Here’s the emotional arc your audience will experience:
The first reaction when the numbers hit. 18.1 million lines. 207 days. One person. The suspension of disbelief moment. Your skepticism — and theirs — kicks in immediately. Good. That’s the engine for the rest of the episode.
The live demo. The moment they watch an AI that isn’t ChatGPT do something genuinely impressive, with no internet, on sovereign hardware. The claim becomes undeniable. Their skepticism turns into fascination.
The sovereignty discussion. Why Big Tech doesn’t want this story told. Why the media hasn’t covered it. The realization that the narrative they’ve been fed — “only trillion-dollar teams can build real AI” — is wrong.
The emotional payoff. Freedom from Big Tech isn’t theoretical — it already exists. One person proved it’s possible. The hopeful, empowering note your audience carries with them.
That arc — skepticism to proof to understanding to hope — is the exact emotional journey your best episodes take people on. It’s why your audience stays for two hours. It’s why 176% more people are listening today than a year ago.8 And it’s why this episode will be one of the ones they share.
Your brand is built on honesty. So is mine. Every metric on this page carries a footnote and a source. Every reach figure for your show comes from independent third parties (SubSub, Triton Digital, Edison Research, The Righting) — not from self-reported advertising materials. Every Genesis metric comes from auditable, reproducible tooling.
Where I don’t have a verified source, I say so. Where a number is an approximation, I mark it. Where confidence is below certainty, I disclose the grade. This is not a pitch designed to impress. It’s a request to have a conversation, built on a foundation of facts you can check yourself.
I don’t ask you to believe the claims. I ask you to test them. That’s the entire offer: come at it as hard as you want. The system is built to survive scrutiny — not to dodge it.
If anything on this page turns out to be overstated, inflated, or unverifiable — I expect you to say so publicly. I would rather lose the booking than earn it under false pretenses. That is the standard your show holds guests to, and it’s the standard I hold myself to.
That’s how much I trust what we built.
Your audience is sharp. They won’t passively absorb this — they’ll want answers. Here are the questions they’ll have, and the honest answers I’ll give on camera:
Because I haven’t pitched it. I was building, not marketing. The system was my priority — the story is what comes after the thing actually works. It works now. This is the first step into the public.
Because of what I built. The AI system doesn’t replace me — it amplifies my intent at machine speed. One person with a clear vision and a system purpose-built to execute that vision can move faster than a thousand engineers pulling in a thousand directions. The velocity proves it. The live demo proves it.
No catch. The business is a Public Benefit Corporation — Day 7. The model is services, not ads. We don’t sell user data. We don’t serve an advertiser. The intelligence is the product, and it belongs to the people who use it. I’ll explain the full structure on air — it’s refreshingly simple.
Yes. That is the entire point of the live demo. Not a pre-recorded screencast. Not a slide deck. The system, running in real time, on sovereign hardware, with no internet connection, solving a problem you choose. If I can’t deliver that on camera, I don’t deserve the airtime.
These are the questions. They’re good questions — the exact questions an attorney and journalist should ask. And every one of them has an answer that makes the story stronger, not weaker. That’s how you know this isn’t vapor. The scrutiny helps.
Genesis is live and demonstrable today. And the audience you’ve built is the exact bullseye for it.

The honest headline, stated the way you’d want it stated: The Megyn Kelly Show reaches verified millions weekly across audio (SiriusXM + podcast) and video (YouTube). Her 3.1 billion lifetime YouTube views and 4.2 million subscribers place her among the top news personalities in America. Growth is accelerating — the Q1 2025 surge was the biggest in The Righting’s tracking history, and Edison Research confirms the show is “in its strongest position since launch.”6,7,8,9
That audience — educated, politically engaged, deeply distrustful of Big Tech, hungry for American sovereignty stories — is the most precisely aligned audience in the country for this story. This isn’t a guess about fit. It’s a bullseye.
I don’t think one American with conviction
should be able to out-build trillion-dollar teams.
But it turns out he can.
AI is about to decide who’s free and who isn’t.
There is no third option.
Right now a handful of companies control all of it —
the compute, the models, and ultimately the speech.
So I built the alternative.
American. Independent. Beholden to no one.
I built it to set people free —
not to enslave them.
And I want your audience to see, with their own eyes,
that it’s possible.
— CARTER HILL · FOUNDER, GENESIS
I’ll come to you. I’ll go as long and as deep as you want. And I’ll let you test the whole thing, live, on camera. Just say the word.
“We’re building to set people free, not enslave them. I’d be honored to break the story with you.”
The booking email is [email protected] — this goes to EP Steve Krakauer’s team. Story-quality pitch — the Genesis story hits every beat their editorial calendar looks for: Big Tech, sovereignty, impossible achievement, and “prove it on camera.” Confidence A.12
I don’t have a 1st-degree connection to you or your team. I’m not going to pretend I do. This pitch stands on the quality of the story itself: one founder, 18.1M lines, sovereign AI, live demo on camera. If it’s not compelling enough to earn the booking on its own merits, nothing else should get me in the door.
I’ll leave this here. When you’re ready:
