00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.
00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show and ask me anything episode.
00:00:03.000 Tom Brady, is he the greatest of all time?
00:00:06.000 Chat GPT, and I go through a rather comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence.
00:00:13.000 I think you'll enjoy it.
00:00:14.000 Email me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:17.000 That is freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:00:33.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:34.000 Here we go.
00:00:36.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:38.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:40.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:43.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:48.000 His 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.
00:00:57.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:06.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:08.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:18.000 We have a question here.
00:01:18.000 Charlie, I keep on being told by my teacher that we are a systemically racist country.
00:01:25.000 How do you suggest or recommend I respond to that?
00:01:28.000 Well, 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.
00:01:36.000 Now, 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.
00:01:48.000 Her entire life, she lives a life of luxury and convenience, thanks to the nation that she now wants to dismantle that she calls oppressed.
00:01:56.000 Elon 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.
00:02:15.000 Here's Elon Omar, Cut 61, saying we need to dismantle the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:02:21.000 Honestly, this should be the reason she's kicked off committees in addition to her anti-Jew bigotry.
00:02:27.000 Play Cut 61. 0.99
00:02:30.000 As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting, who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality.
00:02:46.000 So we cannot stop at the criminal justice system.
00:02:49.000 We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:02:57.000 The whole system of oppression.
00:02:59.000 What does she mean by that?
00:03:01.000 She means private property rights.
00:03:04.000 If there was to be a single issue where the American left and conservatives disagree the most, it would be the issue of private property.
00:03:16.000 And that's not an insignificant issue.
00:03:17.000 Unfortunately, that issue becomes far too abstract because it seems as if, oh, that's just an economic.
00:03:25.000 No, that's a moral difference.
00:03:27.000 In 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.
00:03:37.000 When 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.
00:03:48.000 It also does not have the right to your thoughts, the right to your consciousness, the right to your developments, the right to your creation.
00:03:56.000 When 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.
00:04:10.000 That the ability to accumulate property, to trade, to barter, to take risk, is in itself flawed.
00:04:17.000 This is one of the great divides in America.
00:04:19.000 You cannot have liberty without robust private property rights.
00:04:25.000 One 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.
00:04:35.000 Democracy always ends up in dictatorship, always.
00:04:39.000 It's inevitable.
00:04:40.000 We are, of course, supporters of constitutional government and representative government, which sometimes gets mislabeled as democracy.
00:04:48.000 But in the third world, one of the things that they do not have is private property rights.
00:04:52.000 The government, the mafia, the cartel, someone richer or stronger than you can come along and take what you have earned.
00:04:59.000 If 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.
00:05:12.000 What America set up and established was a system of courts that recognized that you can keep what you earn.
00:05:18.000 That is a hedge against tyranny. 0.79
00:05:20.000 That means that a state or local government just can't come in and take your farm.
00:05:24.000 They can't come and take your business.
00:05:26.000 They can't come and take your car.
00:05:27.000 They can't come and take your savings.
00:05:31.000 This then protects and gives you a sense of comfort to then take risk, to invest, and it creates economic stability.
00:05:39.000 A society that is constantly afraid that someone is going to confiscate or take away your stuff, there's never going to be any investment.
00:05:48.000 There's never going to be any reason to take a risk.
00:05:51.000 How can you possibly have entrepreneurs?
00:05:53.000 How can you have economic development?
00:05:55.000 How can you have the improvement of products if people don't think that their risk will be protected if successful?
00:06:05.000 The modern American left does not believe in the moral basis for private property.
00:06:11.000 They 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.
00:06:21.000 But 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.
00:06:47.000 So when Elon Omar is talking about dismantling the system of oppression, what she's really getting at is the central cord.
00:06:54.000 It is the central organizing principle of a constitutional republic, private property rights.
00:07:01.000 This is exactly why environmentalism is so insidious.
00:07:06.000 The environmentalist movement at its core is about destroying private property rights.
00:07:12.000 It's just another means to a desired end.
00:07:16.000 Environmentalism 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.
00:07:25.000 ESG is private property manipulation and confiscation by a separate name.
00:07:30.000 Now, when I talk about private property, it is an understandably wonky topic.
00:07:35.000 People's eyes roll over.
00:07:36.000 Okay, yeah, private property, how does that impact me?
00:07:40.000 And most of those people don't own anything.
00:07:42.000 They're mostly young and they're in college, so it doesn't really necessarily resonate with them.
00:07:46.000 But I could say the idea of private property does also get into your private thoughts.
00:07:53.000 Are you able to monetize and own?
00:07:56.000 Are you even able to express your own opinions?
00:07:58.000 It comes back to autonomy, agency, sovereignty, and individual free will.
00:08:05.000 If you believe that we are free beings, which of course I do believe, then you have to believe in private property.
00:08:12.000 If 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?
00:08:22.000 It'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.
00:08:33.000 You really don't have your own agency.
00:08:34.000 And this is preposterous, obviously.
00:08:37.000 And it's actually could be disproven.
00:08:39.000 It was recently disproven by a disproven.
00:08:45.000 I can't remember.
00:08:46.000 I'll find the study.
00:08:48.000 It's brilliant in a level of science that is quite honestly beyond my comprehension.
00:08:52.000 But you know that you're a free being.
00:08:54.000 Obviously, the entire, I mean, this is why as America becomes more secular, we become more insane.
00:09:00.000 The whole Bible is based on this idea that you are a free being with agency and freedom of will and freedom of movement.
00:09:06.000 And 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.

00:09:25.000 When Elon Omar talks about dismantling the systems of oppression, that's what she means.
00:09:29.000 Your question was more about systemic racism and stuff.
00:09:31.000 We're going to get into that throughout the hour, but I did want to focus on private property.
00:09:38.000 I don't think we talk about it enough.
00:09:39.000 It is critical.
00:09:41.000 It is instrumental.
00:09:42.000 It is necessary to a free society.
00:09:44.000 You cannot have a free society.
00:09:46.000 You 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.
00:09:58.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:52.000 Mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:10:59.000 There is this new app.
00:11:02.000 It's not even an app.
00:11:02.000 It's a platform, ChatGPT, which is a chat bot launched by OpenAI in November of 2022.
00:11:10.000 It's built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 family of large language models.
00:11:15.000 If you have not played around with it, I encourage you guys to do that so you can really grasp how things are changing in front of you.
00:11:21.000 As I showed on the program yesterday, you can open up, I mean, I bought an app equivalent.
00:11:26.000 You have to pay for the service.
00:11:27.000 It uses the technology Chat GPT as the back, but there's no waiting line because you just pay like 20 bucks or something to do it.
00:11:35.000 And so you just say, write a poem about Tom Brady retiring, because we are going to talk about that in the next segment.
00:11:43.000 And so then it will take a little second and then we'll write a poem.
00:11:46.000 It's unique and it basically, quote unquote, has a mind of its own.
00:11:51.000 Yeah, I mean, essentially, it does and should creep you out.
00:11:55.000 So, right now, the machine is writing a poem.
00:11:57.000 Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, his career was a thing of sublime.
00:12:00.000 He won six Super Bowls at the Pats.
00:12:02.000 His legacy will never collapse.
00:12:03.000 He was the leader of the team.
00:12:04.000 His skill and talent were supreme.
00:12:06.000 He was the GOAT.
00:12:06.000 No one could deny.
00:12:07.000 His greatness will never die.
00:12:09.000 He was the master of the game.
00:12:10.000 His skill and talent were to blame.
00:12:12.000 He was the king of the field.
00:12:13.000 His greatness will never yield.
00:12:14.000 Tom Brady, the greatest of all time, his career was a thing of sublime.
00:12:17.000 He'll remember forever.
00:12:18.000 His legacy will live on forever.
00:12:20.000 So that's just a short poem that the machine automatically generated when I asked it just something randomly.
00:12:25.000 You could do it about almost any book, any topic.
00:12:27.000 It'll happen basically instantaneously.
00:12:31.000 So the obvious is that, okay, this is going to displace a ton of jobs.
00:12:36.000 Copywriters, people that mindlessly stare at their screen and angrily type for the New York Times.
00:12:42.000 Sorry, you're going to be out of a job because you could easily be replaced because what you do is mindless anyway.
00:12:46.000 And this is actually probably even more mindful than you.
00:12:49.000 It is programmed by super woke people, which is very interesting.
00:12:53.000 So almost all their answers tilt in a very left-wing direction, right?
00:12:57.000 So you can ask about why conservatives don't have free speech, and it will talk about it eloquently.
00:13:02.000 You 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.
00:13:14.000 So look, the cons are very obvious.
00:13:16.000 Let's go through the cons of what this technology is.
00:13:18.000 I think it's going to destroy homework as we know it.
00:13:20.000 Kids are not going to really write essays anymore.
00:13:22.000 They're already not.
00:13:23.000 Cheating is widespread, and most parents have no idea how to even deal with it and they don't address it.
00:13:27.000 It will obviously dehumanize us if we don't seize the technology and make the technology work for us.
00:13:33.000 There might be this new kind of movement of no longer needing to work.
00:13:36.000 It could make people more lazy and slothful.
00:13:39.000 It could make people no longer willing to think because now I could literally just open it up.
00:13:44.000 And let's say I was a freshman in college right now and it's five minutes before deadline.
00:13:49.000 Okay, write an essay.
00:13:50.000 How about this?
00:13:51.000 Write an essay about anything random, about the Missouri compromise.
00:13:59.000 And so put that down, give it 20 or 30 seconds.
00:14:03.000 I'll just take a sip of tea, whatever.
00:14:05.000 And 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.
00:14:15.000 Who needs to go to college when a machine can do it for you?
00:14:17.000 By the way, this is already happening in a lot of college classes.
00:14:20.000 Kids are no longer engaging at all.
00:14:22.000 Parents have no idea that this is actually occurring.
00:14:25.000 That's not a good thing.
00:14:27.000 Okay.
00:14:28.000 This is bad.
00:14:29.000 The fact that I can literally have a college-level written essay by just tapping a little bit into an app, I don't think it's good.
00:14:36.000 And so, yeah, right now, it's writing an entire essay in front of my very eyes about the Missouri compromise.
00:14:43.000 Now, some people say that professors can prove that it was artificial intelligence.
00:14:48.000 Most people that I trust say that the professors cannot prove that it was AI.
00:14:52.000 And so, if you're in college right now and you basically want to cheat, there is a you never have to work again.
00:14:57.000 You could just get whatever grades mean nothing.
00:14:59.000 They haven't meant anything for quite a while, but now they really don't need it.
00:15:01.000 By the way, it's still writing.
00:15:02.000 It's just going to write probably 10 paragraphs about the Missouri Compromise that in five minutes you could submit it for a grade.
00:15:08.000 Now, where it gets to be creepy and where it gets to be really concerning is that we're training the chat GPT system as we use it.
00:15:16.000 It's crowd-sourced evolution.
00:15:18.000 Just like Tesla's autopilot system, Tesla will release an imperfect autopilot system at first, but it learns.
00:15:24.000 So, as it does this essay in front of me right now, it's doing the Missouri Compromise essay right now.
00:15:30.000 I'm going to give it feedback and it will then improve over a period of time.
00:15:34.000 And 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?
00:15:44.000 Is this the end of speaking creatively?
00:15:47.000 Is this the end of writing?
00:15:48.000 Is this the end of painting for sure?
00:15:50.000 Anyone who draws, anyone who paints, you're done, right?
00:15:52.000 It does better art than most art I've seen.
00:15:56.000 The art is fabulous, and it does it within seconds.
00:15:58.000 So, homework is over.
00:15:59.000 School is over as we know it.
00:16:05.000 2022 is history.
00:16:07.000 But have you thought about what you'll do in 2023?
00:16:10.000 How will you make it better than last year?
00:16:11.000 That's why I have a challenge for you: resolve to become a better educated American.

00:17:03.000 Victor Davis Hansen has a citizenship course.
00:17:05.000 Larry Arn has a Constitution 101 course and an Aristotle course.
00:17:09.000 So I encourage you to check it out: charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:17:12.000 That is charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:17:18.000 This is interesting.
00:17:19.000 Don says, Charlie, AI might be able to write and do some fantastic things.
00:17:24.000 However, creativity isn't one of them when it comes to creative writing, in my opinion.
00:17:28.000 I write fiction as a hobby.
00:17:30.000 I know that my writing comes from within.
00:17:32.000 I don't follow any rules or guidelines.
00:17:34.000 The story writes itself.
00:17:35.000 I'm just a scribe.
00:17:37.000 It's this nuisance that makes the difference.
00:17:40.000 Now, 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,
00:17:58.000 language combinations, diction, syntax, vocab, and then regurgitate it, it will crowdsource its own evolution and it will learn how to write fiction.
00:18:11.000 You 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.
00:18:17.000 Well, this is one that will constantly improve.
00:18:20.000 And eventually, some people, it might say you might achieve singularity, which is self-awareness or sentience.
00:18:27.000 That remains to be seen.
00:18:28.000 Okay, so I wrote yesterday because I was thinking deeply about this, the pros and cons of AI in my very sophisticated notepad.
00:18:36.000 I love notepads.
00:18:37.000 You guys should use them.
00:18:38.000 So the pros, I went through the cons, obviously, dehumanize us.
00:18:41.000 Because I said it can't all be negative, right?
00:18:43.000 I mean, the obvious ones are, I mean, the obvious positives: okay, you have a lot more free time.
00:18:48.000 You don't have to waste your time doing things you don't want to do.
00:18:51.000 That medical breakthroughs are definitely a positive, right?
00:18:55.000 You could identify cancer more easily.
00:18:57.000 You'll be able to get people better treatment.
00:18:59.000 Imagine 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.
00:19:22.000 This pattern recognition, right?
00:19:24.000 Which otherwise, you know, experienced doctors who are in the field for 40 or 50 years have a gut instinct.
00:19:29.000 They kind of know what it is.
00:19:30.000 The machine doesn't have to have a gut instinct.
00:19:32.000 They can have pattern recognition.
00:19:33.000 You 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.
00:19:45.000 It can massively improve medical outcomes.
00:19:49.000 That's not hyperbole.
00:19:51.000 That's not hyperbole, that is a potential positive from this type of technology.
00:19:57.000 Also, from traffic grids to stock picking.
00:20:01.000 Again, 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.
00:20:17.000 We're having potentially a piece of technology that can then look at these patterns and then detect them, I think, is really positive.
00:20:26.000 Okay, so the negatives, let me go through them again, right?
00:20:29.000 We very well might not be in control.
00:20:30.000 It's technology very soon.
00:20:32.000 That is not a new concept.
00:20:35.000 Just watch Terminator.
00:20:36.000 Okay.
00:20:36.000 They built an entire movie series around Cyberdyne systems in Terminator.
00:20:40.000 Matrix has the similar thing.
00:20:42.000 Ex-Machina is a very similar type of genre.
00:20:45.000 Oblivion is a similar type of genre with Tom Cruise.
00:20:48.000 It's been played out in Hollywood.
00:20:49.000 And Brave New World is to a lesser extent with Aldous Huxley.
00:20:55.000 So obviously, there's a chance that we're no longer in control.
00:20:58.000 What guarantees do we have from the very same people that have been wrong about everything?
00:21:02.000 The 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.
00:21:10.000 That's a problem.
00:21:11.000 Number two, this will disincentivize creative production.
00:21:16.000 Potentially, there's an inverse to that, right?
00:21:18.000 Where some people might say, what's the point in even painting?
00:21:20.000 What's the point in writing a poem?
00:21:22.000 What's the point in writing a song if the machine is just better than us all the time?
00:21:27.000 I'm going to challenge that one because I actually think that one might not be totally correct.
00:21:32.000 Okay.
00:21:33.000 People could no longer feel wanted or needed because of mass job displacement, right?
00:21:38.000 If you're going to get rid of 30 million jobs, which I think is a fair assumption, 30 million jobs are going to disappear.
00:21:45.000 What are people going to do with their free time?
00:21:46.000 And they say, oh, they're going to write poetry.
00:21:48.000 Well, why write poetry if the machine writes poetry for me?
00:21:51.000 Well, you can go for a walk in the park.
00:21:53.000 Okay, well, that might be good.
00:21:55.000 It 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.
00:22:07.000 Number three is that this, so here's the other negatives.
00:22:10.000 Before I get to the positives, this is going to make the argument for Marxism and communism a lot easier.
00:22:16.000 They're going to try to create a technocratic Marxist Star Trek type society.
00:22:21.000 The machines can do all the work for us. 0.97
00:22:23.000 We should get rid of currency.
00:22:24.000 We should get rid of private property.
00:22:25.000 Everything is shared, plug into the Borg.
00:22:29.000 And it is inherently totalitarian, by the way, because if the machine says it, it must be smarter than you.
00:22:35.000 Disconnection from human interaction, when I can have a conversation and relationship with people like in the movie Her.
00:22:45.000 They will say that we all need shared ownership of artificial intelligence and the AIs will then be designed for the woke.
00:22:51.000 It very well could become a woke super weapon, which kind of goes through some of the other negatives.
00:22:56.000 The bias, the people that are writing the code here are all left-wing activists, like all of them.
00:23:04.000 What's to hold it accountable?
00:23:06.000 The same people that run our college campuses are going to run our artificial intelligence machines.
00:23:10.000 That should give you no comfort.
00:23:14.000 Security and privacy, it'll infect every part of your life and obviously job displacement.
00:23:19.000 Okay, that's all the negatives, right?
00:23:21.000 And so we can keep on going through that one by one and kind of go through that.
00:23:26.000 But are there any positives?
00:23:27.000 Well, the medical one's obviously a positive.
00:23:30.000 So here's the promise I made to myself yesterday on the airplane from Phoenix to Arizona.
00:23:36.000 As 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.
00:23:48.000 So it's a challenge, right?
00:23:49.000 Which 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.
00:24:01.000 I'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.
00:24:16.000 Said differently, it's going to push me to be the best version of myself.
00:24:21.000 If 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?
00:24:26.000 Maybe I could write a better essay than that.
00:24:28.000 Maybe, well, of course, beyond having a soul, right, which is a very important thing.
00:24:32.000 It's like, let's not forget we have souls, okay?
00:24:35.000 That you're just not cause and effect, that it's not just all material, that you have a soul, very important.
00:24:39.000 And 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.
00:24:58.000 Maybe that will be a positive out of this.
00:25:00.000 That'd be kind of cool.
00:25:03.000 And 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.
00:25:18.000 That sounds duplicative.
00:25:19.000 Is that they're so confident in the inevitable unfolding of things.
00:25:23.000 There is no guarantee, by the way, this technology continues to go at the pace of exponential improvement.
00:25:30.000 It could flatline.
00:25:31.000 Investment could taper.
00:25:33.000 It could end up being kind of like a parlor trick.
00:25:35.000 Like, yeah, write a poem for me.
00:25:37.000 Like, okay, yeah, great, whatever.
00:25:39.000 But can it write a symphony similar to Beethoven?
00:25:43.000 Can it have human-like interactions?
00:25:45.000 Does it have any sort of moral compass?
00:25:47.000 Of course not, right?
00:25:48.000 So it's very possible that this just kind of lives and dies as a parlor trick and creates a lot of problems for teachers and for homework.
00:25:57.000 Possible, the people I've talked to in the last 24 hours in the coding software space are not that worried about it.
00:26:05.000 They say this technology has a long way to go.
00:26:07.000 They think it's not that impressive.
00:26:09.000 This has been around for quite a while.
00:26:11.000 So for example, if you use Gmail and it has suggested responses to your emails at the bottom, you ever see that?
00:26:17.000 That's a form of artificial intelligence.
00:26:19.000 Google Maps saying that there's a faster route, that's artificial intelligence.
00:26:25.000 So in some ways, we're already living around this technology.
00:26:28.000 It's just super creepy when you ask it to write an original poem or song.
00:26:32.000 And I share that feeling of creepiness, by the way.
00:26:34.000 Like that's not something I've encountered before.
00:26:38.000 And then we're allowing to have AI improve itself.
00:26:41.000 And so maybe the machine gets better.
00:26:44.000 Will we ever be able to catch up with it or will we stay ahead of it?
00:26:47.000 I don't know.
00:26:49.000 But it certainly also does this.
00:26:50.000 Here's the other positive, is that it's going to keep us on our toes to fulfill Genesis 126 and 127.
00:27:01.000 What is a human being?
00:27:02.000 I've asked that question my entire career.
00:27:07.000 What is a human being?
00:27:09.000 And if you cannot answer that question, you do not have, I think, a properly oriented worldview.
00:27:18.000 This is going to force that question into the sphere.
00:27:22.000 If you are just, again, cause and effect, Darwinian evolution, a bunch of cells, but maybe you are made in the image of your creator.
00:27:34.000 Maybe you're a bearer of that image.
00:27:36.000 Maybe you have a soul.
00:27:39.000 And so it's going to force me to be even sharper and better.
00:27:44.000 It's going to push me to be the best version of myself.
00:27:47.000 That's my commitment.
00:27:47.000 By the way, other people are not going to make this commitment.
00:27:49.000 There's a very cynical take to this, right?
00:27:51.000 Oh, what's the point in living?
00:27:52.000 Yeah, sure, of course.
00:27:53.000 Okay, fine.
00:27:56.000 I'm making these promises before the machines take over.
00:27:59.000 Okay.
00:27:59.000 I encourage you to do the same.
00:28:01.000 It might not be as bad as we think it is.
00:28:04.000 It very well could be.
00:28:04.000 Joe Allen thinks it will be.
00:28:06.000 I probably think it will be.
00:28:07.000 But it also might not, it might plateau.
00:28:09.000 It might not improve the way you think it will.
00:28:10.000 And it will definitely improve the speed of mundane tasks.
00:28:16.000 And if it improves the way it should, millions of lives will be saved through medical improvements.
00:28:21.000 That is for sure.
00:28:22.000 The 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.
00:28:34.000 Sven from Santa Barbara has a question.
00:28:38.000 Charlie, what do you think of Tom Brady?
00:28:41.000 Is he the greatest of all time?
00:28:45.000 So there's some questions that honestly don't even need to be debated.
00:28:48.000 But amazingly, this guy who gets paid to spew nonsense on television, what's his name?
00:28:54.000 Never heard of him before.
00:28:56.000 Mike Francesca.
00:28:57.000 I'd never heard of him.
00:28:59.000 Says no.
00:28:59.000 I mean, Tom Brady's overrated.
00:29:01.000 Play cut 112.
00:29:03.000 Tom Brady made himself great.
00:29:05.000 He wasn't great.
00:29:05.000 He wasn't great in college.
00:29:07.000 He lost his job, which is what fueled him his whole life.
00:29:09.000 He's the most competitive person anybody's ever met.
00:29:12.000 And he worked harder than anybody ever to be this good.
00:29:15.000 He made himself this good.
00:29:18.000 He didn't start out that way.
00:29:19.000 He was drafted late.
00:29:20.000 He had a terrible body.
00:29:21.000 It took him time to do it.
00:29:23.000 He's not the best regular season quarterback I've ever seen.
00:29:26.000 Peyton Manning was.
00:29:27.000 He's not the best Super Bowl quarterback who ever lived.
00:29:29.000 Joe Montana is.
00:29:31.000 What he is, though, is the guy who played the longest and he won the most games.
00:29:35.000 He won the most Super Bowls.
00:29:37.000 So 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.
00:29:44.000 It's almost impossible to do.
00:29:46.000 He was in the right place with the right coach and he was that competitive.
00:29:51.000 So is he the greatest of all time or not, Mike?
00:29:53.000 It's right place, right time means absolutely nothing.
00:29:55.000 Okay.
00:29:56.000 So basically his argument is that he's a system quarterback.
00:29:59.000 I 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.
00:30:13.000 Seven.
00:30:15.000 Is it really seven?
00:30:16.000 That's so hard to believe.
00:30:17.000 Seven Super Bowls.
00:30:19.000 The first football game I ever remember watching as a human being was Tom Brady versus the greatest show on turf.
00:30:30.000 Kurt Warner, Marshall Falk, and then the St. Louis Rams against the New England Patriots.
00:30:37.000 If I remember correctly, Blake can look it up.
00:30:40.000 That was one of the great upsets in Super Bowl history.
00:30:43.000 I think the greatest show on turf was like eight or nine point favorites, which is unusual in a Super Bowl.
00:30:49.000 If I remember correctly, that is the 2001 Super Bowl.
00:30:53.000 You could fact-check me on that.
00:30:55.000 Is that right?
00:30:55.000 The 2001 Super Bowl, Marshall Falk, and I love Kurt Warner, by the way.
00:30:59.000 I'm a huge Kurt Warner fan.
00:31:00.000 This is not an anti-Kurt Warner segment.
00:31:02.000 It was the 2001.
00:31:03.000 Go find the line on that game.
00:31:05.000 It was a huge surprise.
00:31:06.000 And Tom Brady, I think Adam Vinatieri kicked the game in the field.
00:31:10.000 Oh, it was the 2001 season, 2002 Super Bowl.
00:31:13.000 Okay, anyway.
00:31:14.000 Tom Brady was the greatest ever to live, period.
00:31:16.000 And by the way, you want a real hot take?
00:31:18.000 Francesca, whatever this guy's name is, Eli Manning did not deserve to win those Super Bowls.
00:31:23.000 He barely won those Super Bowls.
00:31:25.000 Okay.
00:31:26.000 You want to talk about a 14-point upset?
00:31:28.000 I was right.
00:31:28.000 Yeah, it was a 14-point line.
00:31:31.000 Eli Manning, nice guy, very average television commentator.
00:31:35.000 By the way, why is everyone crapping on Tony Romo?
00:31:38.000 He's awesome.
00:31:38.000 I love Tony Romo.
00:31:39.000 He's amazing.
00:31:40.000 He's like the best commentator out there.
00:31:41.000 I don't know.
00:31:42.000 All this anti-Tony Romo stuff is not good.
00:31:47.000 Eli Manning, average cable commentator.
00:31:49.000 Peyton's actually really good.
00:31:50.000 Peyton's terrific.
00:31:51.000 Eli's average.
00:31:52.000 Eli's a game manager, okay?
00:31:55.000 Peyton, fabulous.
00:31:56.000 I'll never say a negative word about Peyton, but you want to, Francesca, who's a New York bias guy, obviously.
00:32:00.000 You want to talk about someone who is overrated?
00:32:03.000 Eli Manning was overrated.
00:32:05.000 Right place, right time.
00:32:07.000 Michael Jordan being the greatest basketball player of all time, and Tom Brady being the greatest football player of all time.
00:32:11.000 It's no question.
00:32:13.000 And here's why.
00:32:14.000 Tom Brady was seven and three in Super Bowls, two of which were questionable, one of which was incredibly questionable, okay?
00:32:21.000 I'm talking about the helmet catch, fourth and eight.
00:32:25.000 I think that was the undefeated season, too, when Tom Brady was going for the undefeated.
00:32:28.000 He would have been like 19-0 or something, right?
00:32:31.000 It's not even close.
00:32:32.000 Pressure shows the man, is what Aristotle says.
00:32:37.000 Pressure shows you who you're dealing with.
00:32:39.000 And Tom Brady, under the greatest pressure, time and time again, would deliver.
00:32:45.000 Most comeback victories.
00:32:46.000 Remember the Falcons come back 28-3?
00:32:48.000 Poor Falcons fans.
00:32:49.000 Brady 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.
00:32:59.000 Yeah, what about that, Francesca?
00:33:01.000 He's a game manager, really.
00:33:02.000 What were the Buccaneers doing before Tom Brady showed up?
00:33:05.000 It was 20 years after Chucky was coach, John Gruden, and they were in the NFL desert.
00:33:11.000 Brady comes and brings them back to excellence.
00:33:14.000 That's the mark of the greatest of all time if you can win in a completely different market.
00:33:18.000 It's all because of Belichick, really.
00:33:19.000 He basically became coach and quarterback of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and won a Super Bowl.
