00:02:30.000We spent four exhausting years fighting back against the New York Times and the Washington Post defending Donald Trump against these fake scandals.
00:02:40.000From the Steele dossier to George Papadopoulos to the Mueller investigation.
00:02:52.000But if that's the new standard of what warrants an investigation into a political leader, when Don Jr. had to do 20 plus hours of testimony in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I'm failing to understand why there is no interest in investigating what is now becoming a very serious scandal,
00:03:17.000a very serious pattern of misconduct and wrongdoing by the Biden administration when it comes to Hunter Biden.
00:03:38.000Where they put out a story that shows that Joe Biden, according to the Hunter Biden laptop, I don't know how these emails keep on coming out, but I suppose they did.
00:03:52.000Shows that Joe Biden did, in fact, work with Hunter Biden and meet with foreign officials while he was Vice President of the United States.
00:04:04.000So maybe instead of a January 6th commission where we already have the Department of Justice and the FBI looking into this, looking into that extensively, why don't we have a Hunter Biden commission?
00:04:18.000And it really, this story arc, the Hunter Biden laptop story arc, follows very neatly, Harris, with the COVID came from a Wuhan lab is a conspiracy theorist idea.
00:04:45.000It's fine that Hunter Biden boarded Air Force 2 with his father and came back from China with Chinese officials with a multi-billion dollar investment into a New York investment firm.
00:04:56.000So the news story that came out yesterday shows that Joe Biden did indeed meet with foreign officials.
00:05:05.000I think it was at either Cafe Milano, somewhere in Washington, D.C., some overpriced, kind of tasteless lobbyist joint, where they, Kazakhstani officials, may have been Uzbekistan, where they were discussing foreign policy, and obviously they wanted to get something out of the United States government.
00:05:34.000So let's play cut 74 of Joe Biden saying he never talked to Hunter Biden about his overseas business dealings.
00:06:18.000I consider Orwell to be the closest thing to a modern-day political prophet where he was able to just capture human psychology with the mixture of technology and how they will act.
00:06:28.000It's a phenomenal piece of literature.
00:06:30.000I just reread it in like five hours recently.
00:06:33.000And Joe Biden was saying, no, no, no, of course I stand by that statement.
00:06:37.000Where it was the opposite of the truth.
00:06:54.000Harris Faulkner reads the email from Hunter Biden to a shady business partner saying that my dad will be there, but can stay between us for now.
00:07:32.000My dad will be there, but that can stay between us for now.
00:07:36.000Now, a story we did not cover, just because there's so many other things to cover, and it's somewhat predictable, is that while all of this is happening under the Biden family, we are now seeing the finale of what has been a multi-year campaign to destroy Donald Trump criminally.
00:07:57.000A grand jury has been impaneled in the state of New York to try and indict Donald Trump for what would possibly be paperwork issues.
00:08:08.000Now, the grand jury is going to probably do whatever the prosecutor asks them to do.
00:08:13.000Meanwhile, Andrew McCabe, James Comey, Peter Strzzok, Lisa Page, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton are all just enjoying life.
00:08:25.000Hillary Clinton's not actually enjoying life.
00:08:27.000There was a story recently that shows she just chugged a glass of wine while Bill Clinton was, let's just say, having a little bit of a wandering eye with another woman.
00:08:40.000So I don't know if they're enjoying life, but they're not currently going to be going the direction that the Trump organization has to go in.
00:08:48.000So while we have the top levels of New York state government and the Manhattan District Attorney going after Donald Trump and his business personally and criminally, we just have a complete indifference from the activist press on the fact that our current president very well was doing international business deals while he was vice president, lied about it.
00:09:11.000And since we do not have a press, this is just going to probably disappear.
00:09:17.000And this is why the Georgia runoffs were so important.
00:09:19.000If there was a United States Senate in Republican control, there could be subpoenas, there could be witnesses, there could be hearings actually holding the Biden administration accountable for their international crimes.
00:09:33.000Instead, there's almost nothing of the sort.
00:09:36.000Instead, there's just kind of this rolling of the eyes.
00:09:42.000We're going to allow them to get away with it-type mentality that is dominant throughout the activist press.
00:09:49.000If there is just one journalist out there that wants to win an award or be somebody, can you just start looking into this?
00:09:56.000Every conversation Donald Trump ever got, in fact, I just got an Apple News alert, which is so incredibly deceiving how Apple does this from CNBC that says Trump and Giuliani asked Judge to drop Capitol Riot conspiracy case.
00:10:13.000This whole thing is about dismissing a lawsuit.
00:10:17.000The number one story on CNBC is all about Donald Trump, the man who is golfing at Mar-a-Lago.
00:10:22.000That's the number one story on CNBC Apple News.
00:10:26.000And also that Republicans want a trillion-dollar infrastructure package.
00:10:43.000The school year is ending, and families are making plans to send their kids to summer camp.
00:10:47.000But kids with a mom or dad in prison are often forgotten and overlooked.
00:10:51.000That's where prison fellowships' angel tree camps come in.
00:10:55.000Hi, this is Charlie Kirk, and I'm partnering again this year with Prison Fellowship to send 163 kids to camp this summer.
00:11:02.000Their lives will never be the same, and neither will yours when you help send a kid to camp.
00:11:07.000A one-time donation of $200 provides a scholarship to send a kid to an angel tree summer camp where they can build a relationship with a caring camp counselor, hear the gospel, and experience the love of God in the great outdoors.
00:11:19.000If you have fond memories of a summer camp experience, you can help make a child have some of those best memories one can have.
00:12:05.000There was an announcement around it months ago.
00:12:08.000I'm actually going to look into that for a second.
00:12:11.000They were doing subpoenaing something, but there was basically some crumbs that were showing that there was not going to be any sort of indictments.
00:12:23.000And it just kind of remains very opaque.
00:12:32.000So, but don't worry, there's a grand jury to go indict a former president who was acquitted twice under impeachment.
00:12:42.000Now, meanwhile, New York City's crime is up like you can't believe in the state of New York and New York City.
00:12:49.000But the top focus of the people who are supposed to enforce the law, it's not actually trying to go after the radical Muslims or the social justice warrior Arabs that were screaming hate crimes at Jews.
00:13:02.000It wasn't about the Bella Hadid, whoever that is, being associated with these criminals that are going after Jewish people for legitimate hate crimes in New York.
00:13:15.000Not the fact that rapes are up and murders are up and damage is up in New York like you can't believe.
00:13:20.000No, their focus of their prosecutor's office and their resources, their limited resources, is to go indict the Trump organization and Donald Trump because they don't like his politics.
00:13:32.000So what does that mean for our country?
00:13:35.000Well, basically, any sort of appearance or let's just say any sort of idea that we had that we're just going to not use power for political purposes, we have now crossed that Rubicon.
00:13:56.000If you are a politician that we do not like and you do things that we don't like, we're just going to use the criminal justice system against you.
00:14:36.000And yet, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, and I'm just going to be very cynical, but honest, nothing's going to happen to them.
00:14:45.000At the very least, Hunter Biden will pay some sort of fee to the IRS or the DOJ for backpaid taxes, have to get some community service, and that's it.
00:15:00.000They're playing for keeps, and yet we are here kind of in a paralysis, hoping that bad things do not happen to us and to our allies.
00:15:09.000So while crime is up 800% in Portland, the top focus of our law enforcement is going after their political opponents and their political enemies.
00:15:19.000Meanwhile, they actually used the FBI to spy, try to infiltrate, and go after Donald Trump, and they entrapped Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
00:15:41.000What I do know is that if it is a question of whether or not you are willing, not able, the Democrats are winning that.
00:15:50.000The Democrats are willing to use their prosecutorial power to go after people they don't like that they consider to be a threat, to take pieces off the chessboard.
00:16:02.000And I've actually been quite surprised, quite honestly, and disappointed.
00:16:06.000The conservative movement has been largely silent now that Donald Trump has a grand jury impaneled against him.
00:16:14.000The conservative movement largely has been silent against the storming of Rudy Giuliani's apartment.
00:16:19.000There's been some outrage here and there.
00:16:21.000The left knows that they've got us on the ropes.
00:16:23.000They know that there is kind of this belief that, ah, well, we don't have power.
00:16:31.000Well, the way it should work is that every single state attorney general across the country should start launching investigations into the Biden family.
00:16:38.000It's only going to stop when they feel some threat coming to their doorstep.
00:16:43.000Until then, we are just going to be constantly retreating, and the left is willing to use every single piece of power at their disposal.
00:16:53.000I'm actually going to talk about a different topic here that is, I think, really interesting.
00:16:57.000And the conservative movement's failure to even address this is just so frustrating.
00:17:14.000And Pete Buttigieg-type Democrats, who basically were manufactured just to defend the tech companies, think this is perfectly fine.
00:17:21.000But the president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, warns: quote: Life will become like George Orwell's 1984 by 2024 if lawmakers don't protect the public against artificial intelligence.
00:17:35.000Now, if you have never read 1984, I encourage you to do that.
00:17:38.000We mention it on the show quite often.
00:17:41.000It takes place in obviously 1984, or so they think.
00:17:46.000London has been renamed as Airstripped One.
00:17:49.000The protagonist of the story is the guy by the name of Winston Smith.
00:18:14.000And it is about a Leviathan government that knows everything about you.
00:18:18.000Every room has a thing called a telescreen that looks at your behaviors, your movements, your twitches.
00:18:24.000There's a famous line where Winston Smith says that the only way to hide something from the party, the people that are constantly surveying you, surveilling you, is to hide it from yourself.
00:18:36.000Winston is somewhat of a free-thinking individual.
00:18:39.000His job in 1984 working for the Ministry of Truth.
00:18:44.000There are several different ministries.
00:18:45.000There's the Ministry of Plenty, the Ministry of Truth, the Ministry of Peace.
00:18:50.000And so the Ministry of Truth is responsible for editing things in the past so that they are able to change things in the future.
00:18:57.000So his job is to go back in the past and find newspaper clippings and edit them and change them.
00:19:03.000And then he'll stuff them down what is called a memory hole, meaning it disappears forever.
00:19:09.000The story begins with Winston not obviously not being very happy, but living a less than humane existence, constantly being surveilled.
00:19:20.000And at the beginning, he goes and buys a little journal as an act of defiance and starts to write against the party.
00:19:26.000The party is what runs the government.
00:19:28.000He has a chance encounter with a young woman, the young woman he's supposed to hate.
00:19:34.000She works for the Junior Anti-Sex League and the Thought Police because in Orwell's future, any sort of enjoyment of human relationships are gone.
00:19:43.000The procreation of children is done simply and solely for the betterment of the state.
00:19:49.000He stumbles into actually getting into a romantic relationship with this young woman, and then, therefore, he does this totally illegally and below the radar.
00:20:01.000And he actually ends up getting caught.
00:20:09.000It's not like this is a new compelling piece of literature.
00:20:12.000However, the guy who runs the party, a guy by the name of O'Brien, actually faked to Winston the idea that he was actually leading a rebellion.
00:20:22.000Winston gets caught and he gets brought into torture.
00:20:25.000Now, I did not know how the book ended.
00:20:42.000The last page just brought chills down my spine.
00:20:45.000And basically, it's this idea that eventually the party, technology, will break you.
00:20:51.000That it will break your spirit and your soul.
00:20:52.000And eventually you're just going to worship that technology.
00:20:55.000And in the famous final page of the book, the poster that says Big Brother is watching you, which was throughout the entire piece of literature was always described as treacherous and not treacherous, but it was very intimidating, the poster.
00:21:21.000After the torture, after the fact he had to basically denounce his romantic relationship and throw her under the bus, he basically has this moment where he falls in love with Big Brother and he becomes one with the state.
00:21:39.000So Microsoft President Brad Smith, there's so much more there, by the way, than that quick summary that I just gave you.
00:21:44.000From the telescreen to the two minutes hate where you have to watch two minutes of hate every single day to get yourself riled up against some sort of opponent, sounds like CNN, to the constant monitoring of your behavior, to the loyalty to the party, to constantly being at war, all these sorts of things.
00:22:02.000But the thing that really strikes people that I think people do not recognize or realize, which is technology breeds tyranny.
00:22:10.000And so in the 1920s, 30s, 40s, and 50s, we saw the greatest death toll in human history in a short period of time.
00:22:19.000Part of the answer is obviously collectivism and Marxism.
00:22:23.000But the other part of the answer is because of technology, really bad people were able to control people and kill people quicker and more efficiently than ever before.
00:22:35.000So in economics, we fall in love with efficiency.
00:22:39.000I love the fact that I can get products quicker and more simple and easier.
00:22:44.000But we never ask ourselves the question, what is the downside of efficiency?
00:22:48.000Now, economists hate when I talk about this, but they shouldn't, because actually I think some of them would actually agree at this.
00:22:54.000Well, you can kill a lot of people easier too.
00:22:56.000You can control a lot of people easier.
00:22:58.000If something is efficient and needs to be efficient for the good.
00:23:02.000So therefore, maybe we shouldn't center a society simply and solely around economics.
00:23:06.000Maybe we should center it around ethics and philosophy, good philosophy and the pursuit of the good.
00:23:11.000So Microsoft President Brad Smith is now basically pulling a fire alarm.
00:23:15.000He says we have three years, and I agree with him, by the way, that if we do not control artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence will control us.
00:24:04.000So the question is, what happens when machines get those things?
00:24:07.000So Smith, this guy, Brad Smith, I don't know if he's doing this for a business purpose because he wants Microsoft to control our artificial intelligence or maybe he's actually very worried.
00:24:35.000This facial recognition, the 80 different unique nodal points across your eyes that the machines are learning to monitor and categorize exactly as Orwell predicted when none of this technology was even, it's just so amazing his ability for prophecy, is going to breed more tyranny.
00:24:53.000So you're going to get Napoleon-style, Napoleon-Stalin, Mussolini types that all of a sudden are going to have so much power at their disposal.
00:25:02.000Are we actually going to be human beings any longer?
00:25:05.000And this is why I'm speaking out so firmly against these digital pacifiers that we carry around these smartphones.
00:25:12.000And this is probably my greatest disagreement with libertarians.
00:25:16.000But the fact is, we should heavily regulate artificial intelligence.
00:25:21.000We need to regulate artificial intelligence and slow this down the way we regulate nuclear weaponry.
00:25:28.000We still have it, but it's in a certain place with certain codes with experts and technicians, and it's transparent, and we know when it's used.
00:25:37.000If we think we're just going to decentralize artificial intelligence, I'm afraid for the species of humanity.
00:25:43.000I'm afraid for our spirit and for our soul.
00:25:46.000If you go deep into what's happening in China, they have millions of cameras that catalog every single citizen.
00:25:59.000Xi Jiping is only able to be as powerful as he is because of the technology at his disposal.
00:26:04.000And I think that's the missing component of Orwell.
00:26:08.000The missing component that people have, not that what he wrote, that people's read of Orwell is there, oh, yeah, we need to protect privacy.
00:26:14.000No, the more that we pander to the tech lobby, the more you make something like that likely to happen.
00:26:21.000And so one of the other takeaways from Orwell's 1984 that I think is lost on a lot of people, and by the way, this is Brad Smith who's saying it himself.
00:26:29.000I mean, Google has already, they already have this technology ready to go.
00:26:34.000It's a new breed called Adversarial Neural Networks.
00:26:37.000It's really creepy, which pits the wits of two AI bots against each other and allows them to learn from one another.
00:26:43.000And so here's just something that I have to just be very blunt.
00:27:13.000Now, it might be a good thing, obviously, to be able to detect tumors earlier and be able to rebuild hearts and have more people to be able to have life-saving surgeries.
00:27:22.000I think that's probably a pro-human argument if it's heavily regulated.
00:27:26.000But if we're all of a sudden going to allow this moment of, sure, everyone gets their own blend of artificial intelligence, we're not ready for that.
00:27:34.000This is not all of a sudden the horse buggy becoming the automobile.
00:27:38.000This is not all of a sudden the lantern becoming the streetlight.
00:27:42.000This is not just the proliferation of carbonated water as other technological innovations have happened over the last hundred years.
00:27:49.000This is something where you're creating a new species, autonomous with their own thoughts.
00:28:09.000And our leaders are too distracted worrying about if they're going to have some commission looking into January 6th or spend a trillion dollars in infrastructure when this guy, Brad Smith, I don't know his intentions.
00:28:18.000He works for Microsoft, so he's probably a bad guy, but he warns that life will become like George Orwell's 1984 by 2024.
00:28:24.000And we keep on getting these warnings, it's going to happen.
00:28:27.000Remember, the cameras and our iPhones go both ways.
00:28:33.000And so we are either going to control this technology and put it where we can use it, and we're going to have a pro-human agenda, or we're going to live under a dystopian tyranny where everything you say, do, and think is monitored for the good of the party, whatever that might be.
00:28:49.000If that terrifies you, it should, and you should demand out of your leaders dramatic and bold action to control artificial intelligence because it's going to control us soon.
00:29:00.000You guys have heard me talk about my pillow before.

00:29:38.000So go to mypillow.com, promo code Kirk, mypillow.com, promo code Kirk.
00:29:44.000This is going to be one of those things that if we do not address in our country, all of a sudden we're going to be living in a country, just a type of society that none of us recognize.
00:29:56.000And we'll be wondering, what were our leaders doing during all this?
00:29:59.000Oh, the answer is they were cutting corporate taxes.
00:30:01.000That's what the Republican Party was doing.
00:30:03.000Now, we have a couple of years to get this right.
00:30:05.000And so if the Republican Party actually wants to govern and lead, they need to establish an entire legislative agenda around regulating and controlling artificial intelligence.
00:30:57.000You mean that I'm supposed to actually think that our tech companies have any sort of loyalty to America, that they're actually doing anything meaningful?
00:31:04.000What value are they creating except boosting stock prices for their very few shareholders?
00:32:03.000And Republicans are obviously, I don't actually expect Republicans to lead on this issue because Republicans have far too often become the party of false promise of economic growth.
00:32:12.000And there's no economic growth happening when you have artificial intelligence like this at all.
00:32:16.000In fact, you're going to have destruction and displacement.
00:32:19.000So is that a good thing for the country and for humanity if we're all just kind of living under a society where all the meaningful decisions are happening in a server room by not human beings, but by a creation of human beings?
00:32:55.000And so this is a discussion that has not happened enough.
00:32:59.000This is not a topic that anyone is willing to have, but even Newt Gingrich has said that artificial intelligence is the biggest threat to our nation and to our society.
00:33:10.000Yet our leaders are debating a $1 trillion infrastructure package to probably just give even more money to these tech companies.
00:33:18.000If conservatives are going to be good for anything, it's not going to be about this progressive conservatism.
00:33:26.000It's about being very clear about things that are eternal, things that do not change.
00:33:33.000In 20 years, if we do nothing, we will be living not under the tyranny of the left, but under the tyranny of whoever controls artificial intelligence, or maybe artificial intelligence will control them under a surveillance state that will know everything about you, more than you can even remember about yourself.
00:33:54.000But why do we have to indulge in this?
00:33:57.000We make the rules, not the tech companies, not the people that run them, that all they care about is the next power kick so they can be worth $200 billion.
00:34:07.000We can actually create something beautiful, something eternal, as close to eternal as we get on this world, and something that matters, that transcends all of this.
00:34:17.000That's what the conservative movement should stand for.
00:34:21.000And if your leaders are not standing clearly against this artificial intelligence movement, and if they have no answer to that, because I just talked to some leaders and they were like, well, I don't really quite understand the issue.
