00:00:48.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:57.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:18.000Charlie, I keep on being told by my teacher that we are a systemically racist country.
00:01:25.000How do you suggest or recommend I respond to that?
00:01:28.000Well, that is consistent with what the ingrate Elon Omar consistently says, where she says we need to dismantle the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:01:36.000Now, Elon Omar, being a beneficiary of the very country that she now wants to dismantle, again, of people that I have probably the most frustration with and disgust with, Elon Omar would be near the top.
00:01:48.000Her entire life, she lives a life of luxury and convenience, thanks to the nation that she now wants to dismantle that she calls oppressed.
00:01:56.000Elon Omar is just parroting postmodern, post-structuralist, quite honestly, Marxist talking points that really came into focus 1912, 1916 with the presidency of Woodrow Wilson, one of America's worst presidents.
00:02:15.000Here's Elon Omar, Cut 61, saying we need to dismantle the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:02:21.000Honestly, this should be the reason she's kicked off committees in addition to her anti-Jew bigotry.
00:02:30.000As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality.
00:02:46.000So we cannot stop at the criminal justice system.
00:02:49.000We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:03:27.000In the original draft of the United States Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Independence for the United States, I should say, it was life, liberty, and property.
00:03:37.000When John Locke wrote about the need to own property, it was a moral argument that the government, the state, does not have the right to what you have earned, to what you have labored for.
00:03:48.000It also does not have the right to your thoughts, the right to your consciousness, the right to your developments, the right to your creation.
00:03:56.000When Elon Omar says that she wants to dismantle the system of oppression, it comes from a Rassoian, excuse me, Marxist view that private property itself is inherently evil.
00:04:10.000That the ability to accumulate property, to trade, to barter, to take risk, is in itself flawed.
00:04:17.000This is one of the great divides in America.
00:04:19.000You cannot have liberty without robust private property rights.
00:04:25.000One of the great differences between the third world and mob democracy, and we are not fans of democracy on this program because we actually explain what democracy is.
00:04:35.000Democracy always ends up in dictatorship, always.
00:04:40.000We are, of course, supporters of constitutional government and representative government, which sometimes gets mislabeled as democracy.
00:04:48.000But in the third world, one of the things that they do not have is private property rights.
00:04:52.000The government, the mafia, the cartel, someone richer or stronger than you can come along and take what you have earned.
00:04:59.000If you talk to people who live in the third world or you ever visit the third world, they live in constant fear that somebody more powerful than them can come and take what they treasure.
00:05:12.000What America set up and established was a system of courts that recognized that you can keep what you earn.
00:05:27.000They can't come and take your savings.
00:05:31.000This then protects and gives you a sense of comfort to then take risk, to invest, and it creates economic stability.
00:05:39.000A society that is constantly afraid that someone is going to confiscate or take away your stuff, there's never going to be any investment.
00:05:48.000There's never going to be any reason to take a risk.
00:05:51.000How can you possibly have entrepreneurs?
00:05:53.000How can you have economic development?
00:05:55.000How can you have the improvement of products if people don't think that their risk will be protected if successful?
00:06:05.000The modern American left does not believe in the moral basis for private property.
00:06:11.000They think that if you accumulate wealth or that if you have wealth or not even wealth because that gets misrepresented as yachts and private planes, nothing wrong with all that stuff.
00:06:21.000But let's just say if you accumulate anything of value that might then be traded to be liquidated into currency and then bartered, if you have anything of value, if you believe that value can disappear because of somebody more powerful than you or somebody evil, then you don't have a society.
00:06:47.000So when Elon Omar is talking about dismantling the system of oppression, what she's really getting at is the central cord.
00:06:54.000It is the central organizing principle of a constitutional republic, private property rights.
00:07:01.000This is exactly why environmentalism is so insidious.
00:07:06.000The environmentalist movement at its core is about destroying private property rights.
00:07:12.000It's just another means to a desired end.
00:07:16.000Environmentalism of numerous fossil fuels, limiting how much you can travel, limiting how much you can drive, limiting the type of home you own, limiting how your business operates.
00:07:25.000ESG is private property manipulation and confiscation by a separate name.
00:07:30.000Now, when I talk about private property, it is an understandably wonky topic.
00:07:56.000Are you even able to express your own opinions?
00:07:58.000It comes back to autonomy, agency, sovereignty, and individual free will.
00:08:05.000If you believe that we are free beings, which of course I do believe, then you have to believe in private property.
00:08:12.000If you do not believe in free will, which has been really illuminating to me, how many people on the secular left and in scientific communities do not believe in free will?
00:08:22.000It's a dominant view in American scientific postmodern communities that it's just all cause and effect, that everything is just cause and effect playing out.
00:08:33.000You really don't have your own agency.
00:08:48.000It's brilliant in a level of science that is quite honestly beyond my comprehension.
00:08:52.000But you know that you're a free being.
00:08:54.000Obviously, the entire, I mean, this is why as America becomes more secular, we become more insane.
00:09:00.000The whole Bible is based on this idea that you are a free being with agency and freedom of will and freedom of movement.
00:09:06.000And therefore, if you are able to have agency, then you must have some sort of system that establishes a reward system, otherwise known as incentives, for properly using that agency for good, not for evil.
00:09:46.000You cannot have a flourishing society if you do not have an independent court system, an independent judiciary that is able to protect your stuff from powerful people.
00:09:59.000The inventor and CEO of My Pillow is always looking for ways to solve everyday problems.
00:10:04.000Have you ever picked up a towel set because it felt really soft in the store, but that when you go to use it, it's not very absorbent?
00:10:10.000It's basically a towel that's leaving you out to dry.
00:10:13.000That's why MyPillow has developed the MyPillow towels, towels that work.
00:10:16.000I know it's mind-blowing, towels that actually dry you.
00:10:19.000The six-piece towel set that includes two bath towels, two hand towels, and two washcloths.
00:10:24.000They come in a variety of colors, and right now you can receive a six-piece set for only $49.99 with promo code Kirk.

00:12:31.000So the obvious is that, okay, this is going to displace a ton of jobs.
00:12:36.000Copywriters, people that mindlessly stare at their screen and angrily type for the New York Times.
00:12:42.000Sorry, you're going to be out of a job because you could easily be replaced because what you do is mindless anyway.
00:12:46.000And this is actually probably even more mindful than you.
00:12:49.000It is programmed by super woke people, which is very interesting.
00:12:53.000So almost all their answers tilt in a very left-wing direction, right?
00:12:57.000So you can ask about why conservatives don't have free speech, and it will talk about it eloquently.
00:13:02.000You know, you could talk about why Biden is the best president ever, but if you say anything conservative, it says we don't do that, which is interesting, but in some ways is a comforting kind of job insurance policy for those of us in the right-wing world.
00:13:51.000Write an essay about anything random, about the Missouri compromise.
00:13:59.000And so put that down, give it 20 or 30 seconds.
00:14:03.000I'll just take a sip of tea, whatever.
00:14:05.000And then within five minutes for deadline, I'll have a fully written essay copywritten and grammatically precise at about a sophomore level of high school that will do all the work for me.
00:14:15.000Who needs to go to college when a machine can do it for you?
00:14:17.000By the way, this is already happening in a lot of college classes.
00:15:18.000Just like Tesla's autopilot system, Tesla will release an imperfect autopilot system at first, but it learns.
00:15:24.000So, as it does this essay in front of me right now, it's doing the Missouri Compromise essay right now.
00:15:30.000I'm going to give it feedback and it will then improve over a period of time.
00:15:34.000And so, it doesn't take, you don't have to be that into the technology to speculate where this is heading, which is, is this the end of creative work?
00:15:44.000Is this the end of speaking creatively?
00:17:37.000It's this nuisance that makes the difference.
00:17:40.000Now, Don, I understand that, but if the technology continues to progress and the technology is able to, for example, upload 3 million different fiction books and read it within a minute and then see patterns of what is most popular,
00:17:58.000language combinations, diction, syntax, vocab, and then regurgitate it, it will crowdsource its own evolution and it will learn how to write fiction.
00:18:11.000You see, this is what's different than other technologies: is that people say, well, Charlie, it's no different than the wheel or the steam engine.
00:18:17.000Well, this is one that will constantly improve.
00:18:20.000And eventually, some people, it might say you might achieve singularity, which is self-awareness or sentience.
00:18:38.000So the pros, I went through the cons, obviously, dehumanize us.
00:18:41.000Because I said it can't all be negative, right?
00:18:43.000I mean, the obvious ones are, I mean, the obvious positives: okay, you have a lot more free time.
00:18:48.000You don't have to waste your time doing things you don't want to do.
00:18:51.000That medical breakthroughs are definitely a positive, right?
00:18:55.000You could identify cancer more easily.
00:18:57.000You'll be able to get people better treatment.
00:18:59.000Imagine a machine that could look at a million mammograms that could do 500,000 cancer screenings and immediately detect patterns based on bone density, lipid counts, blood cell, look at blood work, and then be able to map out projections of what kind of treatments might be best.
00:19:33.000You input a million different issues with a disease, and they say, all of a sudden, wow, okay, obviously this drug, this treatment, this protocol has worked for these people.
00:19:45.000It can massively improve medical outcomes.
00:19:51.000That's not hyperbole, that is a potential positive from this type of technology.
00:19:57.000Also, from traffic grids to stock picking.
00:20:01.000Again, that is more of an area where I think we're willing to see some improvements because I think we're tired and really upset with the amount of people that die from autoimmune diseases and die from cancer and die from previously undetected tumors.
00:20:17.000We're having potentially a piece of technology that can then look at these patterns and then detect them, I think, is really positive.
00:20:26.000Okay, so the negatives, let me go through them again, right?
00:20:49.000And Brave New World is to a lesser extent with Aldous Huxley.
00:20:55.000So obviously, there's a chance that we're no longer in control.
00:20:58.000What guarantees do we have from the very same people that have been wrong about everything?
00:21:02.000The elites that lied about the vaccine, lied about the virus, lied about masks, lied about lockdowns, are somehow going to be able to assure us the technology will not take care of us.
00:21:55.000It will definitely open up free time, but there's going to be a huge existential crisis that happens because of this because people that otherwise were working and found value in work are not going to really know what to do all day long.
00:22:07.000Number three is that this, so here's the other negatives.
00:22:10.000Before I get to the positives, this is going to make the argument for Marxism and communism a lot easier.
00:22:16.000They're going to try to create a technocratic Marxist Star Trek type society.
00:22:21.000The machines can do all the work for us.
00:23:27.000Well, the medical one's obviously a positive.
00:23:30.000So here's the promise I made to myself yesterday on the airplane from Phoenix to Arizona.
00:23:36.000As I went through the positives, is I am going to make a commitment to become the best possible human being I can be until a machine beats me.
00:23:49.000Which is, if you accept this as an intellectual arms race and a creative arms race, which I personally am going to, I'm going to say game on.
00:24:01.000I'm probably going to lose, but I'm going to do my darndest and I'm going to do my best to try to do the very to flourish the best a human being can for our species up against the machine.
00:24:16.000Said differently, it's going to push me to be the best version of myself.
00:24:21.000If there is now a machine that can write an essay, I have to then ask myself, what do I have to bring to the table?
00:24:26.000Maybe I could write a better essay than that.
00:24:28.000Maybe, well, of course, beyond having a soul, right, which is a very important thing.
00:24:32.000It's like, let's not forget we have souls, okay?
00:24:35.000That you're just not cause and effect, that it's not just all material, that you have a soul, very important.
00:24:39.000And actually, as another positive of all this, maybe this can spark a massive religious revival of you are not just consciousness, that your humanity is more than matter and consciousness, that there is a part of your being that a machine will never have.
00:24:58.000Maybe that will be a positive out of this.
00:25:03.000And there's also, again, I do not, one of the things that drives me nuts about the left is this, it's also very Hegelian, is this assuredness of inevitability.
00:28:22.000The biggest impediment to medical advancement is the lack of widespread data and transparent information to be able to get people the information they need for the treatment they deserve.
00:28:34.000Sven from Santa Barbara has a question.
00:28:38.000Charlie, what do you think of Tom Brady?
00:29:37.000So he will be remembered because nobody's going to play 23 years and nobody's probably ever going to have a chance to win that many Super Bowls.
00:29:56.000So basically his argument is that he's a system quarterback.
00:29:59.000I mean, not only does Brady have the most career passing touchdowns, most career passing yards, most career completions, most career wins as a starting quarterback, most seasons with 4,000 or more passing yards, but he also has won the most Super Bowls.
00:32:49.000Brady came back after an ACL tear and played 13 more seasons, retired, came out of retirement, moved from the Patriots and won another Super Bowl at the Buccaneers.
