In this episode, we discuss the rise of artificial intelligence (A.I.) and the impact it can have on our everyday lives. We also talk about the dangers of drones and drones and how they can be used to spy on us. And, of course, we talk about China.
00:10:52.460But I don't even know how that solves this problem.
00:10:55.120I mean, what does self-regulation do to the, and you, as you point out, all of us using the, you know, very easy to achieve standard of full compliance.
00:11:04.260I mean, I really, the idea is either we self-regulate, which won't happen.
00:11:11.280There's always, I mean, in billions of people, there's somebody who's like, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna set the whole world on fire.
00:11:36.280This is bordering, I will be honest, on one of those problems, and there's a few of them out there, that just feels so big that I just kind of throw my hands up and don't care about it anymore.
00:11:48.580That's, like, where I'm starting to get with AI.
00:11:50.620Well, because it's either, it's, something's gonna happen with it, and I know I can't control it, and I don't know, I honestly don't know what the answer is.
00:11:57.880The answer is, it's coming way too fast.
00:11:59.260The answer is, the answer I gave in 2007 or 8, unplug from the system.
00:12:06.780Make sure that you're not reliant on giant systems.
00:12:10.740I read an interesting manifesto by a guy who lived in a shack who recommended the same thing.
00:14:27.260It just means that you have to be prepared.
00:14:33.900This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:14:37.660I guess I was trending over the weekend, and all for the wrong reasons, because the George Soros money that is, you know, so proudly on display at Media Matters,
00:14:52.140a group that Hillary Clinton – you know, she doesn't like misinformation – Hillary Clinton, Podesta, and George Soros started.
00:16:21.580When we got rid of slavery in the United States and the world for the first time started to really turn universally in the Western countries against slavery.
00:16:35.360When that happened, something else happened right around the same time.
00:16:40.460And it was the publishing of this book – I tried to get a first edition copy of this the other day – 150,000.
00:16:49.900So I'm going to stick with our eighth edition copy.
00:17:44.740And in that, he makes it even more clear that there are inferior races.
00:17:50.760So if you want to look for the codification, the justification of racism in America and the world, I would say a lot of it is not from, but codified, institutionalized, made okay through Darwin.
00:18:23.820Well, the American institutions and the German institutions of higher learning, again, the scientists, the doctors, the anthropologists, the psychiatrists, they all embrace this.
00:18:37.700And they're like, well, if there's favored races, we've got to get rid of the undesirable races.
00:19:37.960But also, too, my understanding, at least of your, certainly in the context, it seemed that you were indicating at the beginning, right?
00:19:45.440Like, you know, after a while, they expanded these practices.
00:19:50.580The ones who brought this, let me just explain.
00:19:53.260Now, I'm going to use, and I'll tell you what I'm using later, but just for this demonstration, I'm using what some people might think is a sketchy source.
00:20:12.540Joseph Mengele, one of the most, I'm reading from this website, Joseph Mengele is one of the most famous figures in the Holocaust.
00:20:22.160His service at Auschwitz and the medical experiments he conducted have made him the most widely recognized perpetrator of the crimes committed in that camp.
00:20:32.620Because of his infamy, Mengele has been the subject of numerous popular books, films, and television shows.
00:20:38.620Many of these portrayals distort the real facts of Mengele's crimes and take him out of his historic context.
00:20:47.900And they portray him as a mad scientist who conducted statistic experiments with no scientific basis.
00:20:58.140Now, that's an important phrase, isn't it?
00:23:46.300He believed that Germans were biologically different and superior to members of all other races.
00:23:52.980Racial science was a fundamental tenet of Nazi ideology.
00:23:57.360Hitler used racial science to justify the forced sterilization of persons with certain physical, mental, and physical deformities.
00:24:07.140The Nuremberg race laws, which outlawed marriage between Germans and Jewish, black, and Romanian peoples, were also based upon favored races.
00:24:17.480Just to remind you, there's a very, very expensive book you keep banging on the table.
00:24:28.220In 1938, Mengele joined the Nazi party and the SS in his work as a scientist.
00:24:34.940He sought to support the Nazi goal of maintaining and increasing the supposed superiority of the German race.
00:24:42.540Mengele's employer, not the German Nazis, his employer and mentor, Dr. Vertuer, he was working at a clinic, and I'll tell you the name of that here when I get to the sources, also embraced biological racism.
00:25:05.980In addition to conducting research, Vershauer and his staff, including Mengele, provided expert opinions to Nazi authorities who had to determine whether persons were qualified as a German under the Nuremberg laws.
00:25:22.540So, they were just scientists, and they were getting some funding from the government because their goals matched, and they were getting money from pharmaceutical companies because their goals matched.
00:25:44.100Was it one of these things, though, where, like, all these scientists believe the exact opposite, Nazis come into power, and then all of a sudden they had to change what they believed?
00:25:58.240Scientists in the biomedical fields, especially anthropologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, many of the medically trained experts played a role in legitimizing these policies and helping to implant them.
00:26:09.480They'd embrace these ideas before Hitler came to power.
00:26:14.600They embraced these ideas before Hitler took to power, and they would welcome the regime because of its support of eugenics and support of their research.
00:26:34.560I think that's an interesting proposal, but, like, until you hear a source, we can't judge.
00:26:40.660Well, let me just give you one more thing, okay?
00:26:42.620Physicians were drawn disproportionately to Nazism due to overcrowding in the profession aggravated by economic depression and as a backlash to the relatively high proportion of Jews in the medical practice.
00:26:58.720So, it wasn't just the eugenics doctors.
00:27:03.760It was also 11% of the German physician were Jewish.
00:29:31.940He threw his life away to be a big shot on a Discord server for a few months.
00:29:36.540And that's a personal tragedy for him and his family.
00:29:39.400But I think the point here is that because morons are likely to do moronic things, maybe we shouldn't give access to our top secret information to hundreds of thousands of people who inevitably some will be morons.
00:31:21.340OK, I'm actually surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen every month because of how horribly the handling of this top secret information is done all over our government.
00:31:30.400Now, that's not to say that there isn't an also a parallel problem here of overclassification.
00:32:48.000He should not have have released that stuff.
00:32:49.820Then there's the stuff that we should have known about.
00:32:51.760This is what I reported on, Glenn, that China has tested a new hypersonic missile that can defeat our aircraft carriers and our missile defense.
00:32:58.320In other words, we spent 30 years building aircraft carriers and missile defense.
00:33:01.700And the Chinese built a missile for one hundred thousandth of the price that makes those things obsolete.
00:33:07.460That seems kind of important for people to know.
00:33:53.840The third thing is stuff we already knew.
00:33:55.580Now, this is like, you know, again, Glenn, we should have learned after like five years of like Russia gave that, like the intelligence officials, when they're predicting the future, they don't really know what the hell they're talking about anymore than you or me.
00:35:17.700So all this talk about a buildup of war with China should be really concerning to the American people when you learn they have missiles like they have hypersonic missiles and we're not prepared just in a supply line for anything that happens in Taiwan.
00:35:38.920Well, Glenn, you're I 100 percent agree with you because I was in Taiwan in November and I went to the front lines of the defenses and I found something that shocked me that the front lines aren't really there, that it doesn't exist.
00:35:52.380The Taiwanese know that they can't defend from an invasion.
00:36:20.100In other words, you could give them the stuff that they need to defend themselves and move our stuff closer to Taiwan to make our deterrence more credible.
00:36:27.200All right. Now, again, those are two legitimate arguments.
00:36:31.380But what we're what we're doing is the worst of both worlds, because we're pretending that we can defend Taiwan when we actually know that we can't.
00:36:38.620And they know we can't. They know we know it.
00:36:41.580And the Chinese know it. Right. So they're not deterred.
00:36:44.760And this is the problem that we made with Putin is we told ourselves that Putin was deterred and he wasn't.
00:36:50.160And we know he wasn't because he invaded.
00:36:52.180So what are we going to wait until that happens again?
00:36:54.620Or are we going to learn that lesson and decide that if we care about these countries and if we're going to make a commitment to defend them?
00:37:00.420And again, you may say, OK, well, we shouldn't commit that if we can't back it up.
00:37:04.220Fine. All I'm saying is if we do commit it, then we should back it up.
00:37:37.580Right. It's hypersonic, which means it flies faster than sound.
00:37:40.680But it's also a hypersonic glide, which means you can maneuver it.
00:37:43.620So when we shoot up the missile defense, all we have to do is maneuver around it and we can also they can also maneuver it to hit our aircraft carriers.
00:37:50.720Basically, as far as Guam, half the Pacific is now, you know, no entry for our aircraft carriers if they decide to use these things.
00:37:57.600That's a huge problem for Taiwan, but not just for Taiwan, for the entire South China Sea.
00:38:02.040They're basically taking over Asia while we're sleeping.
00:38:05.640OK, and now I'm not saying that we should buy hypersonic missiles to fight hypersonic missiles.
00:38:10.140I'm saying that we should buy the things or build the things that defend against hypersonic missiles.
00:38:14.800And so it's complicated and you have to think ahead of your opponent.
00:38:18.360But right now they're thinking ahead of us.
00:38:20.460And the scenario is that if China I heard you talk about the timeline, right?
00:38:25.320The timeline for me is they'll go when they're ready.
00:38:28.080They're not ready. That's why I don't think they can go this year or next year.
00:38:31.300Sure, they'd rather do it on a Biden watch than on a Republican watch, but they don't they're not ready yet.
00:38:35.840So if you if you think about it, they'll probably get ready in about three or four years.
00:38:40.240That's the best guess. And we don't know who's going to be president then.
00:38:44.660Oh, that would be that would be a dream come true if that if that's true.
00:38:48.360And, you know, my sources tell me that they don't have the landing vehicles to be able to do an invasion like that.
00:38:56.800They could they could clearly wipe everything out and defeat us, but they don't have all of the things they would need to really take that island.
00:39:06.880Is that the planet? Yes, that's right.
00:39:09.300But there's three things that the Chinese are doing.
00:39:11.280One is to prepare the invasion force, which will take three or four years.
00:39:14.580The second is to prepare economic resiliency.
00:39:16.980They saw the Putin sanctions and said, not for us.
00:39:19.720Why do you think they're going around the world, changing all of their business agreements out of U.S. dollars?
00:39:24.500That's because when they attack, they don't want to be sanctioned.
00:39:27.400So they're actively trying to protect themselves from sanctions.
00:39:29.880That's number two. Number three is they're building a thousand new nuclear weapons.
