Transcript

00:00:00.000 All right. On today's program, we do talk about history an awful lot. It is Martin Luther King Day. We also have a guest for the last hour of the broadcast, Jeff Brown, who is a technologist, really, really bright, has worked for some of the biggest high tech companies.
00:00:15.280 We talk about censorship. We talk about how do we beat this? How do we you know, they're coming after podcasts now. How do we stop this and remain free enough to talk to each other? All that and so much more on today's broadcast.
00:00:37.660 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:00:45.280 We will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics,
00:01:07.240 will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, free at last, free at last.
00:01:15.700 Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.
00:01:18.300 Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
00:01:28.860 Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
00:01:38.020 Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
00:01:47.620 And I've seen the promised land.
00:01:51.180 I may not get there with you, but I want you to know the night that we as a people will get to the promised land.
00:02:02.100 Dr. Martin Luther King has been shot and wounded, possibly critically wounded, in Memphis, Tennessee this evening.
00:02:13.220 Dr. Martin Luther King, the apostle of nonviolence in the civil rights movement, has been shot to death in Memphis, Tennessee.
00:02:20.060 For centuries, man's freedom has been crushed, contained, or at best discouraged, and sometimes in subtle ways.
00:02:38.460 In the days of Solomon, he decried that man could learn too much, that one shouldn't dig too deeply nor read too often,
00:02:46.880 saying that too much reading led to the weariness of the flesh,
00:02:51.680 that the search for knowledge is where Adam and Eve went wrong,
00:02:55.900 thus proving that learning leads to man's downfall or his sin.
00:03:02.820 St. Paul, centuries later, said basically the same thing.
00:03:07.440 In 1500, Francis Bacon wrote to the king trying to convince him that man could never learn too much,
00:03:14.060 that knowledge could not somehow also contain the serpent, yet free thought continued to be squashed.
00:03:22.620 Immanuel Kant, the man who first described the Milky Way as a collection of suns in the fashion that we now know it,
00:03:30.120 wrote in 1760,
00:03:32.280 There are many things that I believe that I shall never say,
00:03:35.880 but I shall never say the things that I do not believe.
00:03:39.420 The courage to speak one's mind
00:03:43.700 In 1760, our most precious freedom, the freedom of thought, had not yet been born.
00:03:53.600 Yet, just a few years later, on the other side of the globe,
00:03:58.040 sat a man alone in a hotel room,
00:04:01.000 his wife dying in bed hundreds of miles away from him.
00:04:04.380 As he scratched words on paper,
00:04:07.760 We find these truths to be self-evident,
00:04:11.200 that all men are created equal,
00:04:14.000 with certain unalienable rights given to them by their creator,
00:04:18.840 among them life, liberty, and property.
00:04:23.080 It was later changed to
00:04:24.620 The pursuit of happiness,
00:04:26.940 to make sure the slave trade
00:04:28.620 would finally come to an end.
00:04:31.220 I'm not sure if we really understand the impact of those words.
00:04:37.260 Man has never been as free to think as man is now.
00:04:42.100 The Chinese dissidents didn't make a statue of liberty in Tiananmen Square out of happenstance.
00:04:48.320 Americans changed the world.
00:04:51.420 Our freedom of thought allowed men to discover electricity,
00:04:54.840 the light bulb,
00:04:55.660 the car,
00:04:56.140 the phone,
00:04:56.680 the motion picture,
00:04:57.500 the radio,
00:04:58.080 the television,
00:04:58.600 the computer,
00:05:00.000 to put a man on the moon.
00:05:01.580 Which of these men will be first to orbit the Earth?
00:05:05.040 I cannot tell you.
00:05:06.180 And a spacecraft on Mars.
00:05:08.060 Touchdown confirmed.
00:05:09.040 We're safe on Mars.
00:05:10.800 It was in the American century
00:05:12.780 that the theory of relativity was conceived,
00:05:15.840 leading Einstein to say,
00:05:17.580 The thing that strikes me about America
00:05:20.300 is the joyous, positive attitude to life.
00:05:24.500 The smile on the faces of the people
00:05:26.320 is one of the greatest assets of the American.
00:05:29.400 He's friendly,
00:05:30.540 self-confident,
00:05:31.400 optimistic,
00:05:32.360 and without envy.
00:05:34.540 The American lives more for his goals,
00:05:37.400 for the future.
00:05:39.740 Life for him is always becoming,
00:05:43.540 never being.
00:05:44.960 His emphasis is laid on the we
00:05:48.300 and never the I.
00:05:52.100 So today,
00:05:53.400 as we are free to celebrate,
00:05:55.800 relax,
00:05:56.660 think,
00:05:57.340 read,
00:05:57.800 say anything,
00:05:59.360 ask yourself this,
00:06:00.940 are we still more about the goals for the future?
00:06:04.900 Is life for us always about becoming
00:06:08.020 and never being?
00:06:10.060 And are we still part of the we
00:06:12.340 and not the I?
00:06:14.060 You know,
00:06:16.320 when Jefferson first wrote those words,
00:06:19.160 they were words of treason
00:06:20.980 and certain execution.
00:06:23.440 But today,
00:06:24.640 they are free to echo throughout the land
00:06:26.940 as words of the American spirit
00:06:29.340 and our hope
00:06:30.260 that we do hold these truths
00:06:33.320 to be self-evident,
00:06:34.660 that all men are created equal
00:06:37.260 and endowed by their creator
00:06:39.140 with certain inalienable rights,
00:06:41.560 and among them,
00:06:42.600 life,
00:06:43.420 liberty,
00:06:44.120 and the pursuit of happiness.
00:06:46.580 And in support of this declaration,
00:06:49.180 with firm reliance on the protection
00:06:51.840 of divine providence,
00:06:53.520 we mutually pledged to each other
00:06:56.300 our lives,
00:06:57.700 our fortunes,
00:06:59.380 and our sacred honor.
00:07:01.140 our founders changed the world
00:07:05.120 with those few words.
00:07:07.820 And over 200 years later,
00:07:09.960 a black preacher from the South,
00:07:13.120 Dr. Martin Luther King,
00:07:15.060 helped make sure that the promise of liberty
00:07:17.580 was real for all Americans.
00:07:20.160 Free at last.
00:07:23.320 Free at last.
00:07:24.660 Free at last.
00:07:26.000 Free at last.
00:07:27.400 Thank God Almighty.
00:07:28.760 Thank God Almighty.
00:07:30.960 We are free at last.
00:07:32.900 We are free at last.
00:07:35.900 Last year,
00:07:37.120 the left did the unthinkable.
00:07:38.800 They tried to convince us
00:07:40.120 that Martin Luther King
00:07:41.340 had approved the riots over the summer.
00:07:45.820 They took one of his quotes out of context.
00:07:48.180 Riots are the voice of the unheard,
00:07:50.480 said Martin Luther King.
00:07:52.020 And people used that over the summer
00:07:54.100 to justify the riots.
00:07:55.860 And they're completely,
00:07:57.520 I believe,
00:07:58.220 intentionally missing the point.
00:08:00.560 They're taking King's statement
00:08:02.200 out of context.
00:08:03.500 They're disingenuous.
00:08:04.780 Because he did not support riots.
00:08:07.860 He denounced them.
00:08:10.060 But he understood the psychology of rioting.
00:08:13.500 And more than anything else,
00:08:14.700 he wanted to give a voice
00:08:16.000 to the voiceless.
00:08:17.400 Here is the comment he made in 1966.
00:08:21.660 I think we've got to see
00:08:22.740 that a riot
00:08:23.560 is the language of the unheard.
00:08:27.560 And what is it that America has failed to hear?
00:08:30.440 It has failed to hear
00:08:31.680 that the economic plight
00:08:34.820 of the Negro poor
00:08:36.660 has worsened
00:08:37.560 over the last few years.
00:08:39.560 How many summers like this one
00:08:41.760 do you imagine that we can expect?
00:08:43.620 Well, I would say this.
00:08:46.060 We don't have long.
00:08:47.280 The mood of the Negro community now
00:08:49.400 is one of urgency.
00:08:52.640 One of saying that we aren't going to wait.
00:08:55.380 That we've got to have our freedom.
00:08:57.300 We've waited too long.
00:08:59.120 So that I would say
00:09:01.240 that every summer
00:09:02.780 we are going to have this kind of vigorous
00:09:06.400 protest.
00:09:07.040 My hope is
00:09:08.200 that it will be nonviolent.
00:09:10.040 I would hope that we can avoid riots
00:09:12.440 because riots are self-defeating
00:09:14.720 and socially destructive.
00:09:17.800 That's what Martin Luther King
00:09:19.520 actually said.
00:09:20.940 He's not saying riots are the solution.
00:09:22.660 He's saying they're a tragic symptom
00:09:24.420 of a bad society.
00:09:26.680 Now listen to this carefully
00:09:27.680 because this is all repeating itself.
00:09:29.820 And for those on the left,
00:09:31.220 they need to learn
00:09:32.540 from their own history.
00:09:34.260 They know this.
00:09:35.500 Why are they ignoring it?
00:09:36.840 He says it's a symptom of a society
00:09:39.840 where people feel voiceless
00:09:41.780 and alone.
00:09:45.360 Strategic violence and upheaval
00:09:47.260 is a part of America.
00:09:50.460 In some ways,
00:09:52.060 it's why we're an independent nation
00:09:54.480 free of tyranny.
00:09:55.980 But not really.
00:09:57.980 They didn't use violence.
00:09:59.440 1773, they say,
00:10:00.680 the Boston Tea Party.
00:10:01.620 That was not violent.
00:10:02.920 That was not violent.
00:10:04.440 In many cases,
00:10:05.480 they had the attention
00:10:07.980 and even compliance
00:10:10.300 of the ship's captain.
00:10:13.780 They went in.
00:10:14.880 They didn't kill anybody.
00:10:16.080 They didn't beat anybody up.
00:10:17.400 They dumped 342 chests
00:10:19.600 of British tea
00:10:20.440 into the Boston Harbor.
00:10:22.000 And it was an act
00:10:22.920 of political defiance
00:10:24.240 because if you want to piss off
00:10:26.240 an Englishman,
00:10:27.160 you take away his tea and crumpets.
00:10:28.760 Or the fact that they were
00:10:30.960 giving a massive tax on tea
00:10:34.240 and America couldn't do
00:10:35.420 its own tea.
00:10:36.740 So we don't want your tea.
00:10:39.220 We don't want your tea.
00:10:42.540 In our Constitution,
00:10:45.640 it says,
00:10:46.620 we the people,
00:10:47.480 in order to form
00:10:48.840 a more perfect nation,
00:10:51.240 to establish justice
00:10:53.720 and to ensure
00:10:55.140 domestic tranquility,
00:10:56.820 to provide for the common defense,
00:11:00.460 promote the general welfare,
00:11:02.640 and secure the blessings
00:11:04.060 of liberty to ourselves
00:11:05.920 and our posterity,
00:11:07.780 to establish this Constitution.
00:11:11.440 They grounded in the promise
00:11:13.300 of the words,
00:11:14.400 a well-regulated militia
00:11:16.680 being necessary
00:11:17.700 to secure a free state.
00:11:20.400 The right of the people
00:11:21.560 to keep and bear arms
00:11:22.480 shall not be infringed.
00:11:24.620 But needless violence
00:11:26.720 has no place
00:11:28.280 in civilized society.
00:11:31.200 So what is
00:11:31.880 needless violence?
00:11:35.220 Well, we're seeing
00:11:36.320 needless violence
00:11:37.520 that has caused
00:11:39.400 more needless violence.
00:11:40.860 What happened
00:11:41.480 over the summer
00:11:43.280 was kind of an endorsement
00:11:46.320 of needless violence.
00:11:50.020 And now everybody's upset
00:11:51.520 because some,
00:11:52.960 I believe,
00:11:54.540 radicals on the other side
00:11:56.400 decide they're going to
00:11:58.480 go in and march
00:11:59.740 on the Capitol.
00:12:05.480 King was heavily influenced
00:12:07.420 by Henry David Thoreau.
00:12:10.700 And I want to talk to you
00:12:12.180 about Thoreau
00:12:13.160 because I learned a lot
00:12:15.220 in my research
00:12:17.100 for this.
00:12:21.300 Two years after MLK said,
00:12:23.140 a riot is the language
00:12:24.200 of the unheard.
00:12:25.720 Two long years
00:12:27.440 on April 4th, 1968,
00:12:30.660 from the balcony
00:12:31.380 of a room
00:12:32.060 at the Lorraine Motel
00:12:33.460 in Memphis, Tennessee,
00:12:35.320 a white supremacist
00:12:36.820 aimed a Remington 760
00:12:39.060 at Martin Luther King
00:12:41.560 and fired.
00:12:43.160 That night,
00:12:45.400 Bobby Kennedy
00:12:46.200 gave one of the most
00:12:49.000 astonishing speeches
00:12:50.400 on the back
00:12:52.160 of a flatbed truck.
00:12:58.120 He told a largely
00:13:00.080 black audience
00:13:01.360 who did not know
00:13:02.960 about the killing
00:13:03.640 of Martin Luther King
00:13:04.580 this.
00:13:05.560 We will have
00:13:06.040 difficult times.
00:13:07.740 We've had difficult times
00:13:09.340 in the past,
00:13:11.000 and we will have
00:13:11.800 difficult times
00:13:12.540 in the future.
00:13:13.500 It is not the end
00:13:14.700 of violence.
00:13:16.180 It is not the end
00:13:17.020 of lawlessness,
00:13:18.580 and it's not the end
00:13:19.340 of disorder.
00:13:20.580 But the vast majority
00:13:21.980 of white people
00:13:22.900 and the vast majority
00:13:24.760 of black people
00:13:25.960 in this country
00:13:26.600 want to live together,
00:13:29.920 want to improve
00:13:31.300 the quality
00:13:31.860 of our life,
00:13:33.060 and want justice
00:13:34.460 for all human beings
00:13:35.920 that abide
00:13:36.760 in our land.
00:13:42.260 This is the best
00:13:43.140 of the Glenn Beck
00:13:43.660 program,
00:13:44.200 and we really
00:13:44.880 want to thank you
00:13:45.460 for listening.
00:13:45.960 When you look
00:13:54.360 at the left,
00:13:55.880 the left learned
00:13:57.000 nonviolence
00:13:58.000 from Martin Luther King,
00:13:59.120 but they're rejecting
00:14:00.800 Martin Luther King
00:14:02.020 now,
00:14:02.700 and this summer
00:14:03.500 was not nonviolent
00:14:04.700 at all.
00:14:06.280 Radical leftists,
00:14:07.620 radical Marxists
00:14:08.940 are really
00:14:09.940 who's running
00:14:10.600 a lot of this,
00:14:11.920 and the ends
00:14:12.940 justify the means,
00:14:14.160 and we can never
00:14:14.960 become those people.
00:14:17.100 But it's interesting
00:14:18.100 to me how the left
00:14:19.660 says they're for
00:14:20.720 all of these
00:14:21.380 great things,
00:14:22.260 but they're not,
00:14:24.400 and they run away
00:14:25.580 from things.
00:14:27.120 I want to talk to you
00:14:27.740 about a complicated guy,
00:14:29.200 really complicated.
00:14:31.660 You're probably
00:14:32.600 not going to,
00:14:33.340 you know,
00:14:33.620 agree with some
00:14:34.240 of his beliefs.
00:14:35.080 You certainly
00:14:35.960 will agree with others.
00:14:38.080 Some, you know,
00:14:38.960 some people will
00:14:39.540 like his ideas,
00:14:41.000 but whatever.
00:14:44.160 The political ambiguity
00:14:46.060 of this guy
00:14:47.040 is part of the reason
00:14:48.020 he's not
00:14:48.860 a household name.
00:14:50.400 Despite the fact
00:14:51.620 that he was
00:14:52.680 Martin Luther King's
00:14:53.800 closest friend
00:14:54.800 and confidant,
00:14:56.360 he literally
00:14:57.360 shaped King's
00:14:58.960 take on
00:14:59.540 civil disobedience.
00:15:01.720 Not only did he
00:15:02.560 organize and speak
00:15:04.380 at the March
00:15:05.240 on Washington,
00:15:06.340 but he also
00:15:07.200 played a crucial
00:15:08.400 role in the
00:15:09.320 formation of
00:15:10.260 I Have a Dream
00:15:11.160 speech.
00:15:11.680 He introduced
00:15:13.320 King.
00:15:16.340 He said
00:15:17.300 a social movement
00:15:19.360 has to be based
00:15:20.220 on the collective
00:15:20.840 needs of the people
00:15:21.720 at this time,
00:15:22.900 regardless of
00:15:23.600 color,
00:15:24.060 creed,
00:15:25.000 or race.
00:15:26.240 His name
00:15:27.400 was
00:15:28.500 Bayard
00:15:29.400 Ruslan.
00:15:31.040 He was black.
00:15:32.420 He was openly
00:15:33.440 gay.
00:15:34.800 He was a
00:15:35.380 Quaker.
00:15:36.640 He was a
00:15:37.260 lifelong socialist
00:15:38.460 and an
00:15:39.360 unabashed
00:15:40.020 pacifist.
00:15:40.980 he's one of
00:15:43.120 the reasons
00:15:43.720 why people
00:15:44.500 said,
00:15:44.880 you know,
00:15:45.180 Martin Luther King
00:15:45.880 was surrounded
00:15:46.520 by radicals.
00:15:47.520 He was pretty
00:15:47.960 radical,
00:15:48.360 but he was a
00:15:49.020 pacifist and he
00:15:50.000 was a Quaker
00:15:50.680 and he was a
00:15:52.820 staunch critic
00:15:54.360 of identity
00:15:55.700 politics and
00:15:56.740 reparations and
00:15:57.820 affirmative action.
00:15:59.700 Oh,
00:15:59.800 and he supported
00:16:00.580 Israel.
00:16:01.800 He's a black
00:16:02.860 guy,
00:16:03.400 a radical.
00:16:04.920 So half of the
00:16:06.640 country doesn't
00:16:07.260 know him because,
00:16:08.580 well,
00:16:08.840 he's a socialist.
00:16:09.840 And so nobody
00:16:11.400 wanted to talk
00:16:12.000 about him
00:16:12.660 because that
00:16:13.420 wasn't uniting
00:16:14.320 at all.
00:16:15.120 The other half
00:16:16.220 didn't want to
00:16:17.100 talk about him.
00:16:17.860 The left didn't
00:16:18.380 want to talk
00:16:18.800 about him because
00:16:19.300 he's against
00:16:20.080 identity politics.
00:16:22.540 He's again,
00:16:23.500 he'd be against
00:16:24.240 everything that is
00:16:25.120 happening today.
00:16:27.100 He's widely
00:16:28.240 considered by
00:16:29.400 scholars as the
00:16:30.600 second most
00:16:31.600 important figure
00:16:32.480 in the civil
00:16:33.280 rights movement
00:16:33.920 here in America
00:16:34.600 right after MLK.
00:16:35.720 a decade
00:16:37.220 before Rosa
00:16:38.860 Parks was
00:16:39.520 arrested.
00:16:41.680 He did it.
00:16:43.000 He stood up
00:16:44.620 in a bus.
00:16:46.280 He was arrested
00:16:47.440 24 times in
00:16:49.260 his life.
00:16:51.560 Two presidents
00:16:52.320 loved him.
00:16:55.400 President Barack
00:16:56.340 Obama gave
00:16:58.860 him the
00:16:59.480 posthumous
00:17:00.620 Medal of
00:17:01.180 Freedom and
00:17:03.400 Ronald Reagan.
00:17:04.240 Think of
00:17:06.120 that.
00:17:07.100 Ronald Reagan
00:17:07.940 praised him
00:17:08.680 for his
00:17:09.240 moral courage.
00:17:11.940 Now, a
00:17:13.260 large reason
00:17:14.160 why he's
00:17:14.700 excluded from
00:17:15.420 the history
00:17:15.800 books is
00:17:16.440 that he
00:17:16.840 criticized so
00:17:17.960 many of the
00:17:18.640 left's sacred
00:17:19.180 cows.
00:17:20.120 He disliked
00:17:20.800 the hostility
00:17:21.520 of identity
00:17:22.240 politics.
00:17:23.400 His rallying
00:17:24.180 cry was
00:17:24.760 humanity over
00:17:26.260 racial politics.
00:17:27.940 He opposed
00:17:28.640 reparations,
00:17:30.200 the quotas-based
00:17:31.240 affirmative action,
00:17:33.440 he argued
00:17:35.000 against
00:17:35.600 blackface
00:17:36.420 minstrel
00:17:37.000 shows.
00:17:38.100 He once
00:17:38.440 said,
00:17:39.160 you know
00:17:39.380 what,
00:17:40.460 let us be
00:17:42.140 enraged about
00:17:42.900 injustice,
00:17:44.360 but let's
00:17:45.480 not be
00:17:46.060 destroyed by
00:17:47.300 it.
00:17:49.320 Even in
00:17:50.460 the socialist
00:17:51.160 leanings,
00:17:52.180 he saw the
00:17:52.800 world not
00:17:53.280 through the
00:17:53.600 lens of
00:17:54.000 race,
00:17:54.540 but class.
00:17:55.900 He was,
00:17:56.480 after all,
00:17:58.460 a socialist.
00:17:58.980 he's most
00:18:00.780 likely responsible
00:18:01.820 for coining
00:18:02.540 the term
00:18:03.220 white liberal
00:18:04.260 syndrome.
00:18:05.020 Do you know
00:18:05.200 what that is?
00:18:06.340 That's when
00:18:07.060 white people
00:18:07.780 who are
00:18:08.120 liberals
00:18:08.760 condescend
00:18:10.680 to black
00:18:11.320 people,
00:18:11.780 and they
00:18:12.620 secretly
00:18:13.320 consider them
00:18:14.880 inferior,
00:18:16.380 and they
00:18:17.540 see themselves
00:18:18.420 as saviors.
00:18:19.820 You mean the
00:18:20.140 entire democratic
00:18:20.880 platform?
00:18:21.520 Is that what
00:18:21.800 you're referring
00:18:22.080 to?
00:18:22.220 Yeah,
00:18:22.360 pretty much.
00:18:22.740 Pretty much.
00:18:23.480 Pretty much.
00:18:24.260 He said,
00:18:25.120 if we desire
00:18:26.140 a society
00:18:26.760 without
00:18:27.120 discrimination,
00:18:27.800 then we
00:18:28.320 must not
00:18:28.920 discriminate
00:18:29.380 against anyone
00:18:30.480 in the process
00:18:31.260 of building
00:18:31.860 this society.
00:18:32.960 This is the
00:18:34.040 hypocrisy that
00:18:35.360 the right
00:18:35.900 feels right
00:18:36.780 now.
00:18:37.860 You can't
00:18:38.680 say violence
00:18:39.480 is okay all
00:18:40.460 summer long
00:18:41.100 and then say
00:18:41.820 violence is
00:18:42.520 wrong.
00:18:43.320 We've been
00:18:44.080 saying violence
00:18:44.740 is wrong
00:18:45.220 then and
00:18:45.920 violence is
00:18:46.500 wrong now.
00:18:48.600 You can't
00:18:49.580 say, hey,
00:18:50.240 we want to
00:18:50.760 be treated
00:18:51.400 fairly and
00:18:52.480 equitably,
00:18:53.240 and then
00:18:54.320 say, oh,
00:18:55.320 and by the
00:18:55.760 way, we're
00:18:56.440 not going to
00:18:57.180 we're not
00:18:57.780 going to give
00:18:58.220 any kind of
00:18:58.920 federal funds
00:18:59.700 to white
00:19:00.380 guys that
00:19:00.980 own business.
00:19:02.560 Well, wait a
00:19:03.400 minute.
00:19:03.680 Wait a minute.
00:19:04.000 Aren't we all
00:19:04.500 in this together?
00:19:07.180 Now, you
00:19:07.880 will see an
00:19:08.880 article or a
00:19:09.620 video or
00:19:10.160 something,
00:19:10.940 you know,
00:19:11.560 BuzzFeed,
00:19:12.320 Washington Post,
00:19:13.060 PBS, but
00:19:14.300 most of the
00:19:15.060 time you
00:19:16.540 will only see
00:19:17.320 him talk about
00:19:18.360 his leftist
00:19:19.420 beliefs and
00:19:20.340 causes, and
00:19:21.620 he's now being
00:19:22.400 reframed,
00:19:23.240 as an
00:19:23.800 LGBT hero.
00:19:28.140 You know, I
00:19:28.880 don't think he'd
00:19:29.420 have a problem
00:19:30.360 with that at
00:19:32.080 all, but
00:19:32.980 that's, why
00:19:34.280 is that the
00:19:34.920 only part of
00:19:35.580 him that
00:19:36.680 we're talking
00:19:37.120 about?
00:19:37.760 And that's a
00:19:38.560 rhetorical
00:19:38.980 question, I
00:19:39.540 know.
00:19:41.520 In the
00:19:42.240 late 1960s,
00:19:44.280 he veered
00:19:45.000 towards
00:19:45.540 conservatism.
00:19:47.500 New York
00:19:47.800 Times described
00:19:48.560 him in a
00:19:49.100 profile as,
00:19:50.000 quote, a
00:19:50.720 strategist
00:19:51.580 without a
00:19:52.240 movement.
00:19:53.320 He had a
00:19:54.200 movement because
00:19:54.800 he was a
00:19:56.000 movement.
00:19:57.840 It's just not
00:19:58.720 a movement that
00:19:59.400 fits neatly
00:20:00.100 into the
00:20:00.980 left versus
00:20:01.840 right dynamic.
00:20:04.980 He had been
00:20:05.820 branded Uncle
00:20:06.480 Tom, especially
00:20:08.020 when he spoke
00:20:08.640 out against
00:20:09.100 anti-Semitism,
00:20:10.480 or when he
00:20:12.600 spoke out because
00:20:13.160 he disagreed with
00:20:13.920 some of the
00:20:14.260 black activists.
00:20:15.180 but this guy
00:20:17.860 was an
00:20:18.140 amazing guy
00:20:19.320 that helped
00:20:20.520 change our
00:20:21.780 nation.
00:20:23.100 And on
00:20:23.300 Martin Luther
00:20:23.680 King Day,
00:20:24.340 it's worth
00:20:24.880 spending just
00:20:25.860 a few minutes
00:20:26.720 learning about
00:20:28.800 what he really
00:20:29.800 did and
00:20:30.640 believed.
00:20:32.040 I tell you,
00:20:32.920 this guy is
00:20:33.480 fascinating.
00:20:35.400 Bayard Rustin,
00:20:36.980 he wrote
00:20:37.960 poetry,
00:20:38.980 played football,
00:20:40.480 he was raised
00:20:41.060 by his
00:20:41.500 grandparents,
00:20:42.200 the ninth
00:20:43.300 of 12
00:20:44.520 children.
00:20:46.640 Can you
00:20:46.800 believe that?
00:20:48.240 He was a
00:20:49.100 member of the
00:20:49.520 NAACP and
00:20:50.940 W.E.B.
00:20:51.800 Du Bois and
00:20:52.780 James Weldon
00:20:53.560 Johnson were
00:20:54.320 frequent guests
00:20:55.700 at his
00:20:56.680 house.
00:20:58.000 And when he
00:20:58.760 was growing up,
00:20:59.580 these things all
00:21:00.440 made an impact.
00:21:01.280 He said later,
00:21:02.320 my activism did
00:21:03.500 not spring from
00:21:04.420 being black.
00:21:05.240 The racial
00:21:06.040 injustice that
00:21:06.980 was present in
00:21:08.340 the country during
00:21:09.020 my youth was a
00:21:10.200 challenge to my
00:21:10.940 belief in the
00:21:11.760 oneness of
00:21:13.320 the human
00:21:13.740 family.
00:21:14.840 This is what
00:21:15.460 the left is
00:21:16.200 leaving out
00:21:16.860 now, the
00:21:17.700 oneness of
00:21:19.140 the human
00:21:19.600 family.
00:21:20.280 They leave it
00:21:21.240 out in their
00:21:22.520 expectations for
00:21:23.820 COVID.
00:21:25.080 They just think
00:21:25.720 that they have
00:21:26.280 to force
00:21:26.900 everybody to
00:21:27.540 do it instead
00:21:28.160 of making a
00:21:28.920 good case to
00:21:29.600 the American
00:21:30.080 people and
00:21:31.160 the American
00:21:31.640 people will
00:21:32.240 do it because
00:21:33.160 we're not bad
00:21:34.360 people.
00:21:34.880 We don't want
00:21:35.260 to kill each
00:21:35.840 other.
00:21:36.680 Now, there are
00:21:37.420 some dopes out
00:21:38.220 there that might
00:21:38.840 do this or that,
00:21:39.700 but for the
00:21:40.560 most part, we
00:21:41.360 are one
00:21:41.980 family.
00:21:43.920 Throughout
00:21:44.360 college, he
00:21:45.540 was rested
00:21:45.940 over and
00:21:46.360 over again.
00:21:46.880 He did
00:21:47.120 sit-ins and
00:21:47.860 marches and
00:21:48.840 one for the
00:21:49.520 communists and
00:21:50.200 one for the
00:21:50.740 Quakers.
00:21:52.260 In 1941, he
00:21:53.520 met President
00:21:54.280 Roosevelt in
00:21:55.180 the Oval
00:21:55.620 Office.
00:21:58.320 Politely, yet
00:21:59.340 confidently, Ruskin
00:22:00.660 told Roosevelt
00:22:01.400 that if he
00:22:02.320 didn't desegregate
00:22:03.560 the military,
00:22:04.960 Ruskin would
00:22:05.580 lead a march
00:22:06.360 on the
00:22:06.840 Capitol.
00:22:07.960 And that's
00:22:08.400 when we got
00:22:08.840 Executive Order
00:22:09.660 8802, the
00:22:11.420 Fair Employment
00:22:12.260 Act, banning
00:22:12.840 discrimination in
00:22:13.700 the military.
00:22:14.320 By the way, we
00:22:15.000 didn't have
00:22:15.620 segregation in
00:22:17.860 the military
00:22:18.380 until Woodrow
00:22:20.380 Wilson.
00:22:21.340 Woodrow Wilson
00:22:22.260 re-segregated
00:22:24.320 the military, and
00:22:25.380 then it took
00:22:25.920 this guy,
00:22:26.720 meeting with
00:22:27.340 FDR, to
00:22:28.680 say, can
00:22:29.240 you please
00:22:30.520 stop this?
00:22:31.620 He also led
00:22:32.360 a movement to
00:22:32.880 desegregate
00:22:33.600 interstate bus
00:22:34.640 travel.
00:22:35.680 In 1942, he
00:22:36.720 got on a bus
00:22:37.340 in Louisville
00:22:37.900 headed for
00:22:38.360 Nashville.
00:22:39.220 He talked
00:22:40.060 about what
00:22:41.040 it was like.
00:22:41.680 He said, I
00:22:42.220 was going by
00:22:43.520 the second
00:22:43.980 seat to go
00:22:45.100 to the rear,
00:22:45.860 and a white
00:22:46.680 child reached
00:22:47.560 out for the
00:22:48.600 ring of my
00:22:49.960 necktie and
00:22:51.540 pulled it.
00:22:53.000 And his
00:22:53.880 mother said,
00:22:54.860 don't touch
00:22:55.740 an N-word.
00:22:58.520 He thought
00:22:59.620 about that
00:23:00.380 the whole
00:23:01.180 time.
00:23:02.840 And here
00:23:04.300 is this
00:23:04.780 child that
00:23:05.520 was innocent
00:23:06.200 and didn't
00:23:06.980 have any
00:23:07.520 of that
00:23:07.900 hatred and
00:23:09.340 was being
00:23:09.740 taught that
00:23:11.060 hatred and
00:23:12.520 probably was
00:23:13.460 taught that
00:23:14.540 blacks like
00:23:15.780 to sit in
00:23:16.340 the back
00:23:17.120 of the
00:23:17.360 bus.
00:23:18.860 And it
00:23:19.700 bothered him.
00:23:20.980 Just outside
00:23:21.680 of Nashville,
00:23:22.220 police stopped
00:23:22.840 the bus.
00:23:23.480 He was
00:23:23.800 arrested,
00:23:24.560 beaten,
00:23:25.180 and hauled
00:23:25.580 to the
00:23:25.780 police station,
00:23:26.600 but not
00:23:27.220 charged with
00:23:28.320 anything.
00:23:29.240 Why did
00:23:29.680 they stop
00:23:30.100 it?
00:23:30.280 Because he
00:23:31.900 sat right
00:23:32.300 behind the
00:23:32.800 white person.
00:23:33.320 He didn't
00:23:33.540 go to the
00:23:33.920 back of
00:23:34.220 the bus.
00:23:35.140 He wanted
00:23:35.800 that kid
00:23:36.200 to know,
00:23:36.780 we don't
00:23:37.400 like sitting
00:23:37.860 in the
00:23:38.100 back,
00:23:38.580 and we're
00:23:39.060 not different
00:23:39.560 than you.
00:23:41.060 This is
00:23:41.460 way,
00:23:42.140 way,
00:23:42.440 this is
00:23:42.800 1942.
00:23:45.900 This is
00:23:46.540 way before
00:23:47.540 anybody else.
00:23:49.840 He grew
00:23:50.880 to dislike
00:23:52.040 anti-war
00:23:53.260 activism,
00:23:54.460 especially the
00:23:55.540 kind in
00:23:56.020 Vietnam War.
00:23:57.000 He was
00:23:57.260 repulsed by
00:23:57.940 activists who
00:23:58.600 cheered for
00:23:59.340 America's
00:23:59.940 defeat.
00:24:01.260 He was
00:24:01.520 deeply
00:24:01.980 disturbed by
00:24:02.680 the prospect
00:24:03.300 of Vietnam's
00:24:04.140 people coming
00:24:04.760 under the
00:24:05.320 thumb of a
00:24:07.140 totalitarian
00:24:07.840 regime.
00:24:09.480 He said,
00:24:10.560 the Soviet
00:24:11.040 model,
00:24:11.540 the Chinese
00:24:12.080 model are
00:24:12.760 wrong.
00:24:13.980 He said,
00:24:14.660 the people
00:24:15.280 on my
00:24:16.220 side who
00:24:16.820 are willing
00:24:17.180 to work
00:24:17.540 with
00:24:17.720 communists
00:24:18.280 and Maoists
00:24:19.000 in the
00:24:19.300 name of
00:24:19.700 peace are
00:24:20.680 politically
00:24:21.220 naive at
00:24:22.300 best.
00:24:23.520 Where is
00:24:23.900 this guy
00:24:24.340 now?
00:24:26.020 Where is
00:24:26.820 this guy
00:24:27.200 now?
00:24:27.600 I
00:24:28.180 disagree
00:24:28.740 with a
00:24:29.500 lot of
00:24:30.060 what he
00:24:30.400 believes,
00:24:31.280 but a
00:24:32.120 lot of
00:24:32.440 what he
00:24:32.720 believes,
00:24:33.020 he still
00:24:33.620 believes in
00:24:34.280 America.
00:24:34.740 He had
00:24:35.280 reason not
00:24:35.900 to,
00:24:36.840 still believes
00:24:37.740 in America,
00:24:38.320 can really
00:24:39.280 look at the
00:24:40.160 situation and
00:24:41.060 go,
00:24:41.400 no,
00:24:41.640 these are
00:24:42.040 bad guys,
00:24:42.840 doesn't
00:24:43.160 believe in
00:24:43.700 violence,
00:24:44.800 believes in
00:24:45.320 freedom.
00:24:48.880 It's
00:24:49.500 amazing.
00:24:50.500 He was
00:24:57.040 the chief
00:24:57.480 organizer of
00:24:58.260 the March
00:24:58.660 on Washington
00:24:59.280 for Jobs
00:24:59.860 and Freedom,
00:25:01.140 and that's
00:25:01.500 the I
00:25:01.840 Have a
00:25:02.180 Dream
00:25:02.520 speech.
00:25:04.140 Shortly
00:25:04.700 after,
00:25:05.220 four young
00:25:05.640 black girls
00:25:06.220 were killed
00:25:06.720 in a
00:25:07.000 bombing at
00:25:07.420 the Baptist
00:25:07.780 Street
00:25:08.080 Church in
00:25:08.520 Birmingham,
00:25:09.660 a reminder
00:25:10.840 of what
00:25:12.000 happens when
00:25:13.240 you peacefully
00:25:13.820 speak out.
00:25:14.740 It's usually
00:25:15.200 met with
00:25:15.680 extreme
00:25:16.080 violence.
00:25:16.640 but his
00:25:19.120 I Have a
00:25:19.720 Dream
00:25:19.980 speech changed
00:25:21.300 things,
00:25:22.300 and the
00:25:23.220 bombing was
00:25:24.400 followed by
00:25:25.020 the Civil
00:25:25.400 Rights Act
00:25:25.980 of 1954.
00:25:27.920 He saw
00:25:28.620 the rise of
00:25:29.140 the Black
00:25:29.440 Power Movement,
00:25:30.760 not a fan.
00:25:32.280 He disliked
00:25:33.060 identity politics,
00:25:34.360 found it
00:25:34.720 counterintuitive,
00:25:35.800 divisive,
00:25:36.720 alienated.
00:25:37.960 Is anyone
00:25:38.820 on the
00:25:39.940 left
00:25:40.380 listening to
00:25:41.760 him?
00:25:44.300 It's
00:25:45.060 alienating,
00:25:46.640 and
00:25:47.300 divisive.
00:25:52.540 He came
00:25:53.420 to despise
00:25:54.100 communism,
00:25:54.760 and,
00:25:55.680 you know,
00:25:56.100 he became,
00:25:57.220 you know,
00:25:57.740 he's not a
00:25:59.220 guy that
00:25:59.900 the left
00:26:01.360 liked.
00:26:02.760 They scrubbed
00:26:03.740 him largely
00:26:04.340 from the
00:26:04.820 Civil Rights
00:26:05.300 Movement.
00:26:07.560 1987,
00:26:08.480 he was rushed
00:26:08.900 to the
00:26:09.160 emergency room
00:26:09.820 of Lenox Hill
00:26:10.440 Hospital,
00:26:11.000 complaining of
00:26:11.540 abdominal pain.
00:26:13.420 The next day,
00:26:14.420 he went into
00:26:14.760 cardiac arrest
00:26:15.760 and died.
00:26:17.640 It's only
00:26:18.660 in the last
00:26:19.240 15 years
00:26:20.140 since Obama
00:26:20.740 that they've
00:26:21.760 reintroduced him
00:26:22.560 to the
00:26:22.840 American people,
00:26:23.560 but they
00:26:24.900 reintroduced him
00:26:25.920 as just an
00:26:26.820 icon of
00:26:28.040 the LGBT
00:26:28.760 movement.
00:26:31.480 He was
00:26:32.520 never
00:26:32.880 active or
00:26:34.300 involved in
00:26:35.080 any way with
00:26:35.880 gay rights
00:26:36.340 activism until
00:26:37.660 the very end
00:26:39.020 of his
00:26:39.600 life.
00:26:40.880 And he
00:26:41.180 used to
00:26:41.480 say,
00:26:41.820 if both
00:26:42.100 sides hate
00:26:42.620 you,
00:26:42.900 you must
00:26:43.260 be doing
00:26:44.120 something
00:26:44.980 wrong.
00:26:46.280 But
00:26:46.840 nonviolent
00:26:48.480 tactics,
00:26:49.580 constitutional
00:26:50.260 means,
00:26:51.120 democratic
00:26:51.580 procedures,
00:26:52.220 and a
00:26:52.760 respect for
00:26:53.340 human
00:26:53.620 personality,
00:26:54.280 and a
00:26:54.980 belief of
00:26:55.560 all people
00:26:56.380 being one
00:26:57.200 is what I
00:26:58.560 stand for.
00:26:59.300 This is
00:27:03.240 the best
00:27:03.680 of the
00:27:03.940 Glenn Beck
00:27:04.340 program.
00:27:04.860 Jeff Brown
00:27:14.240 joins us.
00:27:15.400 Jeff is
00:27:16.420 the founder
00:27:17.780 and chief
00:27:18.700 investment
00:27:19.200 analyst for
00:27:19.960 Brownstone
00:27:20.900 Research.
00:27:22.340 He spent
00:27:22.880 25 years
00:27:24.000 as a
00:27:24.500 high-technology
00:27:25.260 executive.
00:27:26.220 He was
00:27:26.580 working at
00:27:27.040 the executive
00:27:27.540 level at
00:27:28.440 Qualcomm,
00:27:29.780 NXP,
00:27:30.480 Semiconductors,
00:27:31.320 Juniper Networks.
00:27:32.140 He's a
00:27:32.580 regular on the
00:27:33.160 program, and
00:27:33.720 I really
00:27:34.200 am fascinated
00:27:36.440 every time we
00:27:37.120 have him on
00:27:37.800 because he
00:27:39.060 knows a
00:27:39.480 little bit
00:27:39.820 about everything
00:27:40.500 and a lot
00:27:41.240 about most
00:27:41.940 when it
00:27:42.200 comes to
00:27:42.800 technology.
00:27:44.620 Jeff, I
00:27:45.280 want to push
00:27:45.820 you a little
00:27:46.220 bit on a
00:27:48.040 story that
00:27:48.500 came out,
00:27:49.340 and I don't
00:27:50.340 even know the
00:27:50.940 meaning of it,
00:27:52.280 and we don't
00:27:54.020 need to get
00:27:54.460 into the
00:27:54.920 explanation
00:27:56.360 because we're
00:27:57.140 not talking
00:27:57.760 about beam me
00:27:58.520 up Scotty,
00:27:59.860 but I believe
00:28:00.440 it's the
00:28:01.640 Fermilabs
00:28:02.520 that have
00:28:03.440 transported
00:28:06.240 digital
00:28:06.780 transportation
00:28:08.560 from
00:28:10.220 of
00:28:10.860 information,
00:28:12.040 digital
00:28:12.280 information
00:28:12.760 from one
00:28:13.340 place to
00:28:13.820 another,
00:28:14.940 no strings
00:28:15.600 attached,
00:28:16.680 well,
00:28:17.360 except for
00:28:17.820 the string
00:28:18.140 theory,
00:28:19.180 and
00:28:20.240 the article
00:28:22.280 that I read
00:28:23.000 said that
00:28:24.480 they believe
00:28:25.600 this proves
00:28:26.420 Einstein's
00:28:27.340 theory of
00:28:27.800 relativity
00:28:28.360 incorrect
00:28:29.720 because it
00:28:30.520 moves faster
00:28:31.540 than the
00:28:31.920 speed of
00:28:32.280 light.
00:28:34.060 Have you
00:28:35.420 seen this
00:28:35.940 story at
00:28:36.360 all or
00:28:36.800 know this
00:28:37.260 story at
00:28:37.620 all?
00:28:39.460 Yes, that
00:28:40.460 and many
00:28:41.280 others.
00:28:41.820 In fact,
00:28:43.320 this has
00:28:43.900 been proven
00:28:44.960 several times
00:28:46.080 over the
00:28:46.560 last five
00:28:48.340 years, and
00:28:48.880 believe it or
00:28:49.280 not, what
00:28:50.340 Fermilabs
00:28:51.300 did wasn't
00:28:52.560 even the
00:28:53.200 greatest
00:28:53.540 accomplishment.
00:28:56.100 Of course,
00:28:56.980 I loved
00:28:59.420 Einstein's
00:29:00.660 comments about
00:29:01.800 this.
00:29:02.080 He called
00:29:02.440 it spooky
00:29:03.000 action at a
00:29:03.980 distance, a
00:29:05.360 very scientific
00:29:06.040 way for him
00:29:07.900 to explain
00:29:08.720 something very
00:29:09.660 strange happening,
00:29:10.520 but what he was
00:29:11.200 really referring
00:29:11.780 to is this
00:29:13.220 concept of
00:29:14.320 quantum
00:29:14.860 entanglement, a
00:29:17.020 very complex
00:29:17.780 subject, but
00:29:19.640 the simple
00:29:20.240 way to
00:29:20.600 explain it
00:29:21.180 is that if
00:29:21.640 you have
00:29:22.200 two quantum
00:29:23.860 particles and
00:29:25.220 they're close
00:29:26.320 to each
00:29:26.720 other, they
00:29:28.740 can become
00:29:29.340 entangled with
00:29:30.260 one another.
00:29:31.240 They become
00:29:31.780 connected, and
00:29:33.540 then we can
00:29:34.100 separate these
00:29:35.000 two particles,
00:29:36.680 and if the
00:29:37.780 state of one
00:29:38.800 particle changes,
00:29:40.540 the state in
00:29:41.640 the entangled
00:29:42.260 particle also
00:29:43.540 changes
00:29:44.120 instantaneously at
00:29:45.520 a speed that's
00:29:46.240 faster than
00:29:47.540 that of light,
00:29:48.300 which is
00:29:48.620 precisely to
00:29:49.400 your point,
00:29:50.640 why this
00:29:51.560 theory of
00:29:52.020 relativity was
00:29:52.960 wrong on
00:29:53.980 this particular
00:29:55.040 subject.
00:29:56.480 So, what is
00:30:00.100 the application
00:30:01.520 in the future
00:30:02.500 for this?
00:30:04.960 Well, there
00:30:07.340 are obviously
00:30:09.060 some very
00:30:09.980 incredible
00:30:10.900 potential
00:30:12.540 applications.
00:30:13.820 If we wanted
00:30:14.800 to have
00:30:15.440 completely secure
00:30:16.780 communications
00:30:17.500 between two
00:30:18.360 physical
00:30:18.780 locations,
00:30:19.940 let's say in
00:30:20.500 the United
00:30:20.900 States,
00:30:21.480 maybe it's
00:30:21.980 the bunker
00:30:23.020 under the
00:30:23.460 White House
00:30:24.000 and some
00:30:24.540 secret
00:30:24.940 laboratory
00:30:25.540 under a
00:30:27.020 mountain,
00:30:27.720 we can have
00:30:29.120 a series of
00:30:29.780 entangled
00:30:30.260 particles where
00:30:32.520 we separate
00:30:33.420 them in these
00:30:34.080 two physical
00:30:34.660 locations and
00:30:36.060 can have
00:30:36.800 completely
00:30:37.440 secure,
00:30:39.200 impossible,
00:30:40.900 to hack
00:30:41.620 communications
00:30:42.440 between these
00:30:43.160 two locations
00:30:44.020 simply by
00:30:45.360 changing the
00:30:46.320 state of
00:30:47.520 particles in
00:30:48.700 one location,
00:30:49.380 which would
00:30:50.420 instantaneously
00:30:51.260 result in the
00:30:52.300 same state
00:30:53.320 change in the
00:30:53.860 other location.
00:30:55.260 And information
00:30:55.860 can be transmitted
00:30:56.740 that way,
00:30:57.340 just like we
00:30:58.100 transmit bits and
00:30:59.540 bytes over the
00:31:01.140 internet.
00:31:01.640 But there's no
00:31:02.360 wires or anything,
00:31:03.580 right?
00:31:04.700 There doesn't need
00:31:05.620 to be.
00:31:05.980 And in fact,
00:31:06.480 this is crazy
00:31:07.260 accomplishment that I
00:31:08.580 alluded to
00:31:09.440 actually took
00:31:10.340 place back in
00:31:10.980 2015.
00:31:12.060 And get this,
00:31:13.640 China was able
00:31:15.200 to demonstrate
00:31:15.960 this phenomenon
00:31:17.240 between a
00:31:19.720 satellite-based
00:31:20.660 location in
00:31:21.460 Tibet and a
00:31:23.300 satellite in
00:31:24.560 orbit 870
00:31:27.400 miles away,
00:31:29.680 1,400
00:31:30.100 kilometers.
00:31:33.440 So, last
00:31:35.040 question on
00:31:35.520 this.
00:31:35.980 So, is the
00:31:36.740 quantum theory
00:31:37.640 now quantum
00:31:38.360 fact?
00:31:40.340 Well, quantum
00:31:41.300 entanglement is
00:31:42.100 absolutely a
00:31:42.900 fact.
00:31:43.300 Quantum
00:31:43.500 teleportation is
00:31:44.560 absolutely a
00:31:45.340 fact.
00:31:45.660 They're both
00:31:46.140 proven.
00:31:48.500 Now, to be
00:31:49.640 fair, they're
00:31:50.300 very hard to
00:31:51.220 use at a
00:31:51.880 practical level
00:31:52.540 because very
00:31:53.780 special conditions
00:31:54.800 and environment
00:31:55.420 need to be
00:31:56.240 maintained to
00:31:57.520 enable this
00:31:58.220 phenomenon to
00:31:59.580 happen and to
00:32:00.240 send information.
00:32:02.080 But it
00:32:02.960 clearly works.
00:32:04.440 And over the
00:32:05.500 next few years,
00:32:06.480 believe me, this
00:32:07.200 is going to be
00:32:07.880 an area of
00:32:08.640 intense
00:32:09.160 development,
00:32:10.540 especially by
00:32:11.300 centralized
00:32:11.680 governments.
00:32:12.840 China and
00:32:13.900 the U.S.
00:32:14.420 in particular
00:32:15.040 will be leading
00:32:16.660 the way.
00:32:17.320 So, most
00:32:18.900 people are not
00:32:19.880 paying attention,
00:32:20.660 and I don't
00:32:20.980 know if you
00:32:21.280 remember Carl
00:32:22.020 Sagan's last
00:32:22.620 book, The
00:32:23.020 Demon-Haunted
00:32:23.540 World, but I
00:32:24.860 think these are
00:32:25.760 the days he was
00:32:26.560 predicting and
00:32:27.500 showing.
00:32:28.220 And there
00:32:28.760 seems to be
00:32:29.420 some really big
00:32:30.280 things that are
00:32:30.960 happening that
00:32:31.640 I'll read about
00:32:32.380 in a small
00:32:32.840 little article,
00:32:33.340 and I'll be
00:32:34.280 like, shouldn't
00:32:35.320 this be a
00:32:36.220 big deal?
00:32:36.940 Shouldn't
00:32:37.140 this be a
00:32:37.520 big deal?
00:32:38.540 What are the
00:32:39.260 things that are
00:32:39.880 on the horizon
00:32:40.780 that are game
00:32:42.020 changing, let's
00:32:43.200 say, in the
00:32:43.560 next year?
00:32:44.240 Is there
00:32:44.480 anything?
00:32:46.840 Yes.
00:32:47.740 By the way, I
00:32:48.580 share those
00:32:49.080 thoughts that
00:32:50.420 you have every
00:32:51.120 single day.
00:32:51.800 Right.
00:32:53.060 Because that's
00:32:54.060 all I do.
00:32:54.980 Yeah.
00:32:56.000 But next
00:32:57.180 year, literally
00:32:58.240 the next 12
00:32:58.960 months, we will
00:32:59.600 see the next
00:33:00.140 major breakthrough
00:33:00.820 in quantum
00:33:01.360 computing.
00:33:01.840 We're going
00:33:02.940 to see some
00:33:03.480 extraordinary
00:33:04.000 breakthroughs
00:33:04.860 from genetic
00:33:06.980 editing and
00:33:08.420 also messenger
00:33:09.520 RNA technologies
00:33:10.680 which are
00:33:12.580 related.
00:33:14.700 We're going
00:33:15.200 to see tremendous
00:33:16.060 breakthroughs in
00:33:16.800 artificial intelligence.
00:33:18.880 What most people
00:33:20.120 don't know is
00:33:20.820 that the custom
00:33:22.320 semiconductors,
00:33:23.660 the hardware,
00:33:25.180 have been
00:33:25.760 manufactured to
00:33:27.460 accelerate the
00:33:29.400 development on
00:33:30.080 the software
00:33:30.560 side.
00:33:31.060 So we're
00:33:31.960 going to see
00:33:32.280 some incredible
00:33:32.880 breakthroughs in
00:33:33.580 2021 on
00:33:34.700 natural language
00:33:35.980 processing and
00:33:37.160 also the use
00:33:38.300 of artificial
00:33:39.880 intelligence to
00:33:40.960 make new
00:33:41.800 discoveries.
00:33:42.640 A simple
00:33:43.000 example would
00:33:43.620 be new
00:33:44.540 molecular compounds
00:33:45.500 or new drug
00:33:46.140 discoveries by
00:33:47.740 using this
00:33:48.460 technology, this
00:33:49.420 hardware, and
00:33:49.860 this software.
00:33:53.100 Go ahead.
00:33:55.900 I was also
00:33:56.920 going to say
00:33:57.480 we'll see an
00:33:58.580 explosion of 5G
00:33:59.760 wireless technology
00:34:00.600 this year that
00:34:01.320 will impact all
00:34:02.180 of our lives as
00:34:03.020 the networks
00:34:03.500 continue to be
00:34:04.400 built out.
00:34:06.000 We'll see a
00:34:06.820 noticeable difference
00:34:07.760 in terms of the
00:34:08.660 quality of our
00:34:09.500 connections, our
00:34:12.500 internet connections,
00:34:13.420 the speed, there
00:34:14.160 won't be delays,
00:34:15.100 things will start to
00:34:15.920 feel nearly
00:34:17.080 instantaneous, and
00:34:19.120 that will touch all
00:34:20.160 aspects of our
00:34:21.120 lives really.
00:34:22.280 the last thing I
00:34:24.840 want to tell you,
00:34:25.380 I mean, I've got a
00:34:25.820 billion things, but
00:34:26.480 I'm out of time
00:34:27.320 after this.
00:34:28.800 I don't know if
00:34:29.660 you've been
00:34:29.920 following, because
00:34:31.160 it seems like such
00:34:32.260 a whack job
00:34:33.180 thing, but it's
00:34:35.200 not now.
00:34:38.300 If you've been
00:34:39.000 watching what's
00:34:39.800 been coming out of
00:34:40.500 the Pentagon over
00:34:41.300 the last few
00:34:42.220 years, last, like
00:34:43.360 three especially,
00:34:45.400 we are, the
00:34:46.220 Pentagon is now
00:34:47.640 verifying that we
00:34:48.580 are tracking
00:34:49.560 otherworldly
00:34:52.280 ships.
00:34:54.560 They are still
00:34:55.820 studying to see
00:34:56.680 if anybody has
00:34:57.600 this technology,
00:34:58.380 but the latest
00:34:59.340 revelation from
00:35:01.120 the Pentagon was
00:35:02.260 that they were
00:35:03.240 tracking some
00:35:04.860 sort of a ship
00:35:05.780 that came, was
00:35:07.200 flying super fast
00:35:08.700 and then stopped,
00:35:09.920 went down into
00:35:10.960 the ocean, under
00:35:12.120 the ocean, and
00:35:13.100 they were tracking
00:35:13.960 it under the
00:35:14.500 ocean at 400
00:35:15.560 knots.
00:35:16.200 Are you
00:35:19.960 following any of
00:35:20.880 this?
00:35:21.140 Because it seems
00:35:21.900 kind of important.
00:35:25.520 It's remarkable.
00:35:26.760 These stories that
00:35:27.360 are coming out are
00:35:28.300 remarkable from a
00:35:29.500 technology standpoint.
00:35:30.820 None of it
00:35:31.540 surprises me.
00:35:33.120 We've already
00:35:33.700 identified thousands
00:35:34.880 of habitable
00:35:36.640 exoplanets in
00:35:38.880 our own galaxy
00:35:39.860 capable of
00:35:40.840 supporting life.
00:35:42.300 So to me, it's
00:35:43.820 common sense to
00:35:44.540 think that other
00:35:45.120 life exists.
00:35:46.200 Has it reached
00:35:46.860 us yet?
00:35:47.540 You know, I'm
00:35:48.300 not sure.
00:35:48.960 I'm excited to
00:35:49.680 find out.
00:35:50.960 But there's a
00:35:51.940 big, very
00:35:52.640 interesting book
00:35:53.320 coming out in a
00:35:54.120 few days from
00:35:54.820 Avi Loeb, who's
00:35:55.680 the chair of
00:35:56.500 astronomy at
00:35:57.260 Harvard.
00:35:58.260 Yes.
00:35:58.820 And his book is
00:36:00.200 going to talk
00:36:00.820 about that
00:36:01.940 object, mysterious
00:36:02.820 object, Oumuamua,
00:36:06.080 that entered our
00:36:07.560 own solar system,
00:36:08.580 our inner solar
00:36:09.300 system, nonetheless.
00:36:11.180 And its speed
00:36:12.740 changed as it was
00:36:14.080 coming through the
00:36:14.840 solar system and
00:36:15.660 then accelerated when
00:36:16.800 it wanted to leave.
00:36:17.740 And they weren't
00:36:18.180 explainable by simple
00:36:19.920 orbital mechanics.
00:36:21.180 And so the theory is
00:36:22.280 that there was some
00:36:23.540 form of jet
00:36:24.320 propulsion there to
00:36:25.180 cause these changes
00:36:27.040 in speed and
00:36:27.840 attitude.
00:36:28.820 And so his whole
00:36:29.820 book, which I'm
00:36:30.520 excited to read,
00:36:31.520 will be out in a few
00:36:32.680 days and we'll see
00:36:33.660 what he has to say.
00:36:35.480 I preordered it
00:36:37.100 because I'm
00:36:37.480 fascinated by it as
00:36:38.660 well, because he's
00:36:40.720 saying there's
00:36:41.300 nothing natural that
00:36:43.380 travels the way that
00:36:44.740 thing traveled.
00:36:45.660 But I couldn't
00:36:46.700 understand if he
00:36:47.540 thought it was space
00:36:48.460 junk, something that
00:36:49.840 some other being or
00:36:52.000 civilization or
00:36:52.740 something had used
00:36:53.880 and had jettisoned,
00:36:55.680 or if it was
00:36:57.440 currently really
00:36:59.740 active and probing.
00:37:02.260 A surveillance
00:37:02.900 mechanism, correct.
00:37:04.280 Yeah.
00:37:05.480 Um, Jeff, thank you
00:37:06.980 so much.
00:37:07.540 I really, I really
00:37:08.560 appreciate it.
00:37:09.560 Um, I do want to
00:37:11.600 say, are there more
00:37:12.340 people in Silicon
00:37:13.380 Valley like you?
00:37:15.180 Cause I used to talk
00:37:16.200 to people at Facebook
00:37:17.500 and, and Google that
00:37:19.000 were, that were
00:37:20.300 inside and they were
00:37:21.520 like, we're
00:37:22.040 libertarians.
00:37:22.820 We don't believe in
00:37:23.940 the, we don't believe
00:37:25.160 in the left or the
00:37:26.640 right.
00:37:27.120 We're libertarians
00:37:28.420 and we'll never let
00:37:29.680 this stuff happen.
00:37:31.040 Are there still those
00:37:32.240 people there?
00:37:34.060 Absolutely.
00:37:34.580 They exist and they
00:37:35.920 exist in numbers,
00:37:37.160 especially in the
00:37:38.560 libertarian camp.
00:37:39.640 Uh, but, uh, right
00:37:41.260 now what I'm seeing is
00:37:42.420 that they have to, they
00:37:43.980 feel the need to signal
00:37:45.200 virtue, uh, to the
00:37:47.120 left.
00:37:47.440 And it's really
00:37:48.280 heartbreaking to, uh, to
00:37:49.720 see this happen, but
00:37:50.660 they, they exist.
00:37:51.580 And I hope they, I hope
00:37:52.980 they surface again.
00:37:54.140 Yeah, I do too.
00:37:55.080 Thank you so much, Jeff.
00:37:56.140 I appreciate it.
00:37:57.380 You're welcome.
00:37:57.980 Always good fun.
00:37:58.680 Um, the editor of the
00:38:00.540 bleeding edge.
00:38:01.580 Uh, and, uh, we thank
00:38:03.640 him for being on Jeff
00:38:04.500 Brown is his name.
