00:02:50.680 welcome to the glenn beck program so this jake tapper uh book that is out everybody's giving
00:03:00.600 jake tapper a hard line and believe me no tears are being shed here for jake tapper uh at least from me
00:03:06.640 um you know but but he he came out with the book along with the guy from uh ap or politico i can't
00:03:16.340 remember alex thompson yeah and so they put the book out and they're talking about for instance the
00:03:21.880 latest is that you know george clooney didn't have it was so shocked and members of the audience were so
00:03:30.160 shocked uh that joe biden was just not even there and remember it was the administration
00:03:36.620 who then said that those were deep fakes that was just deep fake you know that that's not or or
00:03:42.420 they said well he was just standing on the stage you know he wasn't lost he was just admiring the
00:03:46.960 crowd and and and soaking in their applause really i believe the term they used was cheap fakes yeah
00:03:52.920 cheap fake cheap fakes um and now we find out in the book that uh george clooney was
00:04:00.400 horrified and so were the people around george clooney when i mean he was throwing that benefit
00:04:07.100 and when he came he said joe joe biden had no idea who he was and they had met you know multiple times
00:04:13.280 you know describes him as friends not not as they'd met multiple times he describes him as friends they
00:04:17.940 were good friends over a long period of time and joe biden didn't recognize him now take out the fact
00:04:25.240 that he's one of the most famous people in the world yeah i know right like even if you've never
00:04:31.160 met him like if we were we went into 7-eleven and george clooney walked in we'd all be like that's
00:04:36.080 george clooney right like this is not a borderline thing right uh he didn't recognize him uh that's
00:04:41.840 that's a that's a that's a real problem so here's jake tapper now talking about how the white house
00:04:46.580 covered up biden's deterioration listen the bottom line is the white house was lying not only to the press
00:04:52.300 not only to the public but they were lying to members of their own cabinet they were lying to
00:04:56.800 white house staffers they were lying to democratic members of congress to donors about how bad things
00:05:03.620 had gotten and in fact alex and i started writing this book after the election of 2024 and we spoke
00:05:11.420 with more than 200 people most of whom almost all of whom were democrats and almost all of whom wouldn't
00:05:17.860 be honest with us or wouldn't be candid with us until after the election and then after the election
00:05:23.380 we found out all of these things that when you looked at what was going on with president biden
00:05:28.560 at the time it probably doesn't surprise you the extent to which he was deteriorating but now we have
00:05:34.140 anecdotes and facts about what was really going on behind the scenes uh with details that democrats
00:05:39.220 wouldn't share with us until after election day that was kind of his excuse basically as to why it
00:05:44.520 wasn't talked about before right because they wouldn't talk until the election was over yeah well
00:05:49.140 what about them going to jail if if they did something against the constitution they should go
00:05:55.280 to jail not being that afraid of this president being completely checked out and you're not telling
00:06:04.140 the cabinet uh there's a problem there's a real problem you can't keep that information from the
00:06:10.960 people who need to know that i a hundred percent agree with that and they should all go to jail
00:06:15.760 yeah whatever if there are crimes committed here and i think there may have been we should definitely
00:06:20.180 have an investigation that looks at all the messages yeah this isn't about a book and it's
00:06:23.640 certainly not about jake tapper no i will say with with the tapper excuse me uh the tapper i have
00:06:29.240 rand paul i was gonna say did you get something awesome me and rand both i can't talk today um uh the
00:06:35.340 the excuse here is a bit frustrating to be to be frank from from jake tapper because i think what
00:06:42.100 he's saying is actually true right oh they really weren't talking about this to the media they weren't
00:06:48.000 leaking to the media they had a relatively buttoned up operation when it comes to protecting joe biden
00:06:53.780 including according to the book protecting joe biden shielding him is the term they used from his own
00:07:01.700 staffers i can't even describe how insane that is but like sure they weren't telling you sure they
00:07:12.520 were lying to you but you know what let's step back for a second the media does not have a good
00:07:17.060 relationship with the trump administration do they no very bad one right when they go to steven miller
00:07:22.860 and they ask him a question about hey what about this thing steven miller they might think steven
00:07:26.900 miller's telling them lies what do they do after that what if they get something from uh
00:07:35.580 the press secretary and they don't think it's true what do they do just report it mindlessly
00:07:41.860 do they say what she's saying is true because of course she said it no they dig and they dig and they
00:07:50.660 dig and they dig and they find somebody some intern of an intern who will say the opposite you can't
00:07:57.140 tell me that jake tapper doesn't have george clooney's phone number and can call it does he probably does
00:08:02.880 and or at least know somebody who has it and can get into and call him and go dude look this is what
00:08:08.400 i'm hearing and i don't want our side to lose either you know um but this is very dangerous is this
00:08:14.140 true and so i think somebody would have spoken somebody would have and by the way i at least
00:08:20.540 according to this book and i'm sure clooney was a source of the book so you can take this for what
00:08:24.620 it's worth but according to the book i mean clooney deserves some credit here in that when he saw
00:08:30.340 biden in this state he decided he wanted to do something and was told by barack obama not to
00:08:37.300 and changed and did come out and did it anyway the what was it two weeks after the uh the debacle
00:08:44.700 of the debate yeah i want to yeah right it was about a little bit now he didn't do it right away
00:08:49.000 no but he did but he did the rest of them didn't do it until the election was over right and and i will
00:08:54.400 say you know we should have less criticism not none but less criticism for people who do come out
00:09:03.360 and do it eventually i think that's at least my belief like for i played a clip yesterday of uh
00:09:08.640 on my show studios america available on police tv by the way um of joe scarborough in march of 2024
00:09:16.240 saying he's the sharpest he's ever been uh this version of joe biden is the best version that has
00:09:22.680 ever existed of joe biden this is just i mean you know weeks before i guess months before this election
00:09:29.560 but not not many months before uh the uh debate four months before the debate that and he has not
00:09:37.740 come out he didn't write a book he just said this thing that should have discredited him to every
00:09:44.720 audience member until the end of time and has not come out and said by the way uh until until it was
00:09:52.480 politically feasible to do so um didn't write a book didn't do deep reporting didn't go and get
00:09:57.200 all of his sources he was just carrying the water of what he wanted to happen that entire time
00:10:03.460 pathetic and every person who's ever tuned into that show the four people who have should never do
00:10:08.880 it again i mean how do you have any credibility after saying something like that when you obviously
00:10:13.720 know it's not so let me play this because if you look it is hard to find jake tapper defending but
00:10:21.820 there is a montage going out that does have well a minute and two seconds of him defending listen
00:10:29.860 how do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that
00:10:34.880 it's very clearly a cognitive decline that's what i'm referring to it makes me uncomfortable you have
00:10:40.400 you have no i can't it's so amazing it's so amazing to me that and try and figure out an answer
00:10:46.860 a cognitive decline to biden embraces his stutter talking about it while trump mocks it exaggerates
00:10:52.400 it belittles it he's sharp physically i mean uh mentally yeah i think the question is physically
00:10:57.620 right right or so right right and the guy who's his chief opponent is only three or four years younger
00:11:02.360 than maybe i mean you have questioned president biden's age mental fitness ability to lead
00:11:06.540 of those supporting biden you said quote shame on all of you pretending everything is okay you're
00:11:10.780 leading us and him into a disaster do you worry that you damaged him at all i don't doubt that that
00:11:15.780 you got hugs and and handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly some of them
00:11:21.660 because they like you personally but i've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from your
00:11:27.260 democratic colleagues i mean just like what is he thinking exercise in narcissism again what is it
00:11:34.100 that's four clips four interviews yeah one of them is talking to dean phillips who was the guy who was
00:11:39.740 saying this early and didn't get any credit for it on the democratic side who deserves the credit
00:11:43.640 for it um and then the the first one is from 2020 the year 2020 which is you know and then there's
00:11:51.600 two other clips they're short and i've seen five versions of this montage and every one of them
00:11:57.220 has the same four clips yes so like i i'm not he it's not that tapper deserves no criticism for the
00:12:03.620 for those clips he does deserve it if he comes i think we should get him on the air and ask him about
00:12:07.780 it i think i don't think he's coming on the air maybe he we've asked but if he does we should i i i it would be
00:12:13.520 fair to ask him about those those clips i agree and he should be asked but like the level between
00:12:18.840 him and joe scarborough there's a galaxy between them oh yeah yeah and so the fact that he's coming
00:12:23.260 out now and writing a book with it with another uh journalist who did ask these questions throughout
00:12:28.600 the entire process alex thompson i think is more of a positive than a negative the only problem with
00:12:33.780 those clips that i have is the first one play this again the bottom line is the white house was lying
00:12:40.680 not only to the press not only to the public but they were lying to members of their own cabinet
00:12:44.760 they're relying this is not white house staffers the montage the montage again how do you think it
00:12:50.620 makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that it's very clearly a
00:12:55.860 cognitive decline okay that's what i'm referring to it makes me uncomfortable you have you are totally
00:13:00.660 dismissive i can't this so amazing it's so amazing to me that and try and figure out an answer
00:13:06.580 a cognitive decline to biden embrace that's by far the worst one but the problem with that one is he
00:13:12.260 is not engaging as a journalist no okay that's not a journalist how do you think it makes little kids
00:13:17.340 feel that's the question she can say i whatever she wants to say okay i don't think you answered the
00:13:23.480 question or whatever the follow-up is but he became the defender of biden in that that's the problem
00:13:30.420 with that one i totally agree i think that's a bad clip it was again from 2020 which by the way
00:13:35.980 i think it was still clear he was in cognitive decline then yes so i don't give him a huge excuse
00:13:41.760 though that remember this is the time when they kept him in the basement right so i'm totally with
00:13:46.660 you i thought it was obvious then yeah so that clip i think is bad though we could make a four hour
00:13:52.400 montage of joe scarborough and the view clips yeah uh that were much much worse here's scarborough
00:13:58.420 but comparing that guy's mental state i've said it for years now he's cogent but i undersold him
00:14:07.540 when i said he was undersold it he's far beyond cogent far beyond in fact i think he's better than
00:14:13.760 he's ever been better intellectually intellectually um analytically analytically because he's been around
00:14:21.120 for 50 years and you know i don't know if people know this or not biden used to be a hothead
00:14:27.480 sometimes that irishman would get in front of the reasoning sometimes he would say things he didn't
00:14:33.720 want to say what this is and and and i don't really you know what i don't really care start your tape
00:14:41.040 right now because i'm about to tell you betting his career here and f you if you can't handle the truth
00:14:46.540 this version of biden intellectually analytically is the best biden ever not a close second and i've
00:14:58.240 known him for years the brzezinski's have known him how does that not end your career how does that
00:15:03.960 i think that's actually right how could that possibly be right because when he was so cognitively just
00:15:12.460 in disrepair he didn't do any of the things he wasn't responsible for any of those things
00:15:18.160 somebody else was doing it he was like what should we do today that's the best joe biden i've ever seen
00:15:24.960 let me paint a picture for you it's 10 32 p.m some loser in a hoodie picks your house for a late night
00:15:33.460 side hustle he creeps up to the driveway thinking he's the main character in this story spoiler alert
00:15:38.500 he's not because suddenly you step out not with a baseball bat not with a gun but with a burner launcher
00:15:43.780 it's a non-lethal defensive tool that fires high power kinetic or pepper rounds uh or tear gas
00:15:50.720 at 300 feet per second guy freezes the launcher hits suddenly tear gas coughing confusion crying tears
00:15:58.600 lots of tears humiliated person on your front lawn rethinking the life choices it's called deterrence
00:16:05.140 and it works the burner launcher easy to use legal in all 50 states without a permit and the
00:16:11.540 new compact launcher is tremendous it's perfect for fitting in purses or concealed carry spots
00:16:16.720 this is what happens when the good guys decide to stop being easy targets and for the record
00:16:21.200 that guy won't be back go to burn a b-y-r-n-a dot com slash glenn use their retail store locator to
00:16:27.680 find the nearest location offering live demonstrations including sportsman's warehouse stores
00:16:31.820 it's burna retail stores and authorized premier dealers that's burna b-y-r-n-a dot com slash glenn
00:16:38.140 burna dot com slash glenn now back to the podcast this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:16:45.960 we welcome to the program ran paul senator from the great state of kentucky um ran i want to play
00:16:54.080 something for you in yesterday's speech which i think was it should have been like a libertarian's
00:17:00.060 dream it was mine listen to this and it's crucial for the wider world to note this great transformation
00:17:07.440 has not come from western interventionists or flying people in beautiful planes giving you
00:17:16.580 lectures on how to live and how to govern your own affairs no the gleaming marvels of riyadh and
00:17:23.220 abu dhabi were not created by the so-called nation builders neocons or liberal non-profits like
00:17:30.340 those who spent trillions and trillions of dollars failing to develop cabal baghdad so many other
00:17:40.220 cities instead the birth of a modern middle east has been brought by the people of the region
00:17:46.880 themselves the people that are right here the people that have lived here all their lives developing
00:17:51.440 your own sovereign countries pursuing your own unique visions and charting your own destinies in
00:17:58.700 your own way it's really incredible what you've done in the end the so-called nation builders
00:18:04.840 wrecked far more nations than they built and the interventionalists were intervening in complex
00:18:12.820 societies that they did not even understand themselves they told you how to do it but they had no
00:18:18.780 idea how to do it themselves peace prosperity and progress ultimately came not from a radical
00:18:25.720 rejection of your heritage but rather from embracing your national traditions and embracing that same
00:18:32.540 heritage that you love so dearly uh ran paul what'd you think of that pretty amazing you know there
00:18:40.440 have been so many times when i've heard president trump speak or seen his actions on foreign policy that
00:18:46.400 have been oh my goodness is the best president we have had in my lifetime and i thought he sounded
00:18:52.280 almost like uh washington at that point just like do it yourself we're not here to tell you what to do
00:18:58.740 i haven't heard that ever from any president and this is why the bush wing hates donald trump so much
00:19:05.600 establishment because these are the people who wanted to spend freedom at the point of a gun everywhere
00:19:10.720 they thought we were going to shape the world for democracy which is sort of a leftover woodrow wilson
00:19:15.940 idea but uh no this is the part of donald trump i completely embrace encourage and will defend and
00:19:23.040 defend on a daily basis so i said earlier today that i thought that part of that speech was as
00:19:28.000 significant as the gorbachev tear down this wall speech agree or disagree i agree it's incredibly
00:19:34.840 significant to say you know we've we developed these relationships not by bossing around the world not by
00:19:40.540 intervening but by uh basically you know trading and intervening use the word trade we could have
00:19:46.940 but basically having trading good relations with these countries they've developed themselves so while
00:19:52.480 we're there why don't we talk about um why don't we talk about uh i don't know trading nothing for a 400
00:19:58.880 million dollar airplane um where do you stand on this gift from qatar well this is still sticking point
00:20:07.760 you know the constitution says you can't take emoluments or gifts unless they're approved by
00:20:13.580 congress i think jefferson was offered something and uh congress actually voted against thomas jefferson
00:20:20.000 being allowed to keep it and uh but you can't do it i mean it's just and it's going to set up the
00:20:26.240 appearance of impropriety whether congress will protect him and not vote on it possibly but the other
00:20:31.400 thing is is we're the world's largest arms merchant we sell arms by the billions everywhere throughout
00:20:38.000 the middle east we populate both sides of every war on the planet and so qatar is a big recipient of
00:20:45.260 arms from us and so we make these decisions and the president pretty much makes them on his own
00:20:51.080 congress has the chance to object and i have objected in the past to both qatar and saudi arabia
00:20:56.280 receiving arms when i felt like uh particularly when the journalist khashoggi was killed by the
00:21:02.380 saudis i thought we should have laid off arms for a while and uh somebody should have had to pay some
00:21:07.500 penance over that great and uh so i've tried to block different arm sales before but you know there's
00:21:13.900 a potential that the administration's objectiveness will be clouded by a 400 million dollar plane
00:21:19.740 there are some practical concerns as well one of them is is where are we on the one that they've
00:21:24.700 ordered if it's already made and they're just upgrading it you know putting the electronics
00:21:29.660 and defensive weapons on air force one and they're within six months of being completed the qatari plane
00:21:35.980 would have to be completely outfitted you know it has to be probably stripped down on the inside
00:21:40.580 completely reconfigured has to have the special stuff that it's classified it's two to five years
00:21:47.780 just to finish it yeah so it may be that the other plane is actually closer to being finished than
00:21:54.020 than this one is disappointing and boeing's disappointing on so many fronts that they
00:21:58.460 haven't had this plane since i think it was commissioned by the first president trump and
00:22:02.920 four years later still isn't ready is really a disappointment um but we'd have to know more
00:22:07.860 about it the thing is if he really wants this plane and it's a great plane the qataris could uh
00:22:13.000 either sell it or give it back to boeing and boeing right tell it to us we could pay a price
00:22:17.480 um and then we alleviate all of this if he takes it every family transaction that they have had in
00:22:24.960 the middle east for the last 10 years or next 10 years is going to be uh doubly scrutinized and i
00:22:29.740 think it doesn't come to any good so what do you think about the possibility and this may be giving
00:22:35.480 him too much benefit of the doubt but the guy is playing you know 15 dimensional chess it seems uh so
00:22:41.460 many ways he i spoke to him about the the boeing plane a few weeks ago and he was smoked and you
00:22:49.820 know we we began our participation in and ended world war ii in a quicker time than we have ordered
00:22:59.800 that plane in 2018 to today uh so it's i mean it what is boeing doing uh and he's saying and others
00:23:08.460 are saying that it it may be five years from now maybe even 10 what about the idea that he is just
00:23:17.100 trying to push the pressure on boeing and like get it done boeing has become an extension of the
00:23:24.140 government they're a government bureaucracy and they behave like it you know look i think the
00:23:28.980 empire state building was built in a year china right now can erect a 30 what's that 10 months
00:23:35.340 yeah china can erect a 30 story building in a matter of two or three months i mean it's amazing
00:23:41.560 how fast things can be done and boeing can't make a plane in four years and then sometimes their planes
00:23:47.480 don't fly and so that is a problem if you're a plane manufacturer and they don't fly but i it's
00:23:53.220 because god right boeing is such a slow ponderous corporation that's been you know had monopoly on
00:23:59.740 sort of government planes for so long that uh they're being out competed not internationally
00:24:05.260 and uh they're just slow you know and so i i i see them more as a an extension of government
00:24:12.280 bureaucracy than i do as a real capitalism but no no company could get away with being this poor and
00:24:18.160 this slow moving if there was a real marketplace so what do you do to solve that because i think that
00:24:22.940 i mean that is the real solution it's i feel like the former soviet union when they would
00:24:27.440 you know when uh gorbachev or anybody else would get into a zill you're like oh that's nice that'll
00:24:33.000 break well that'll break down halfway to the airport um you know what do we do boeing you can't sue
00:24:39.700 boeing the president can't sue boeing the country can't how do you fix this here's the interesting
00:24:45.120 thing glendon this intersects with the the discussion over trade some would say we need to protect them
00:24:50.680 and that's what we do we protect boeing we protect them from international trade what if we did this
00:24:55.280 what if we got rid of the trade barriers and we let all the international companies uh compete with
00:25:00.600 boeing boeing would have to get better or go bankrupt so they're inefficient because they are protected
00:25:05.500 some would say the same happened to u.s steel over many generations it wasn't that we didn't protect
00:25:10.400 u.s steel we've had steel import quotas for generations we've tried to do whatever we can to
00:25:16.920 block international steel from coming here and yet all it did is it led to a large behemoth u.s steel
00:25:23.420 that was about like boeing wasn't able to react to the marketplace but let me talk to you about
00:25:28.020 government aircraft military aircraft we have to have an aircraft company what what i agree what can
00:25:35.400 we do what if the press because honestly the right thing for the president to do is sue boeing look you
00:25:40.960 you violated our entire contract it means nothing i'm going elsewhere but he can't sue boeing because
00:25:46.200 it's you know that would be very bad and the the the second thing is he has no choice but to
00:25:51.180 buy american so how do we solve this the the other thing i guess you could do is uh you could reduce
00:25:58.200 what they're paid so for example if we if the government said we were giving them a billion we
00:26:02.320 give them 500 billion whatever it is there and that should be in every contract too and you know i think
00:26:08.140 elon musk was a big promoter of this when he started building rockets uh to take satellites into space
00:26:13.380 right he said the problem you guys have is it's cost plus so everybody just keeps inflating their cost
00:26:19.100 because they always get the same profit or bigger profit if they have cost overrun make it competitive
00:26:23.780 bidding and put penalties into your contracts so boeing should have penalties in the contract if
00:26:29.260 you want another airline or another company to make planes in the u.s um i'm perfectly happy to vote for
00:26:35.580 no corporate taxes on somebody who will make planes in competition with boeing uh just no corporate taxes
00:26:41.860 period 10 years 20 years it would take a lot for the incentive because it takes a lot of money to get
00:26:47.300 started in that field but look elon musk started from scratch maybe 10 years ago building rockets
00:26:52.760 so you think somebody couldn't like elon musk start building planes in fact i guarantee you if elon
00:26:58.220 weren't so tied up with other things if you said elon why don't you start a plane company to compete
00:27:02.940 with boeing i'll bet you you haven't started in a year you're streaming the best of glenn beck
00:27:07.880 to hear more of this interview and others download the full show podcasts wherever you get podcasts
00:27:12.880 all right welcome to the uh program i want to talk to you a little bit about ai uh apparently
00:27:19.460 there is a new ai the the scientists at mass general in boston have developed a new ai tool called face age
00:27:30.820 and it can tell your biological age by a picture of you
00:27:37.260 and apparently uh not just not just your biological age but how healthy you are in fact
00:27:47.700 they are they believe now with the eyeball test research in the lancet digital health indicates
00:27:56.760 you ready for this that artificial intelligence will be able to not only spot that you have cancer
00:28:07.060 but also if you are being treated for cancer that's not working they have this much time to live
00:28:17.140 how terrifying is that i mean how great is that how terrifying is that you would you have if you
00:28:24.100 could have it and it would tell you wow you're looking pretty uh old and beat up uh you don't have
00:28:30.540 much longer to live would would you go into the face tool and say how long do i live how how much
00:28:37.420 i don't think i would do that i wouldn't want that i would i would want to know if i could do something
00:28:42.880 about it i suppose i mean i guess being able to if you knew and again this is somewhat speculative here
00:28:50.180 but if you knew you were going to die in two months i guess i the idea of wanting to know would be
00:28:58.200 intimidating but i also think like i'd like to probably have moments with my family and my kids
00:29:03.680 and say the things i want to say and like get my affairs aligned and such start some new affairs
00:29:10.780 just kidding honey um no but you know what i mean like i'd like to get my you want to get your affairs
00:29:18.340 arranged you want to make sure you're not leaving your family with a burden you're making you want
00:29:21.520 to make sure that you say to your kids the things you want to say maybe you want to write something
00:29:24.960 if you put your face in okay and you're like okay take the picture how much you know what do i have
00:29:29.620 left and it just comes back what time is it now i don't know i think if the stupid device can't tell
00:29:39.360 time i probably it's like a v is a vcr 20 minutes what do you got 20 minutes maybe maybe i don't know
00:29:45.580 you're not doing well look a little peaked some of the things that are coming with ai are remarkable
00:29:52.240 go ahead life changing yeah i would say society changing probably so can i just read something
00:30:00.620 to you that is part of it is beyond my understanding and will be beyond some but i just want you to hear
00:30:06.400 this now this is i rule the world uh mo this is at i rule the mo i rule the world mo nobody really
00:30:13.320 knows who this is they think that this might be a an insider and one of the big uh ai research firms
00:30:21.960 okay but they also think it might be a bot by one of these ai research terms to throw the other
00:30:28.580 research terms off okay they have no idea who this is okay okay so but just listen to what i'm hoping
00:30:35.940 it's a bot that's trying to throw people off listen to this just got off a four-hour phone call with
00:30:40.520 sources inside chinese deep seek labs and holy cow they're using other language we are so effing
00:30:47.760 behind it's not even funny anymore deep seek r2 isn't an incremental improvement it is a completely
00:30:54.900 different species of intelligence operating on principles nobody in the west has even theorized
00:31:01.420 yet they've abandoned transformer architectures entirely for something they're calling recursive
00:31:06.980 cognition lattices the scale and dimension of our math doesn't even have a good notation for this
00:31:13.580 uh the compute efficiency gains that violate what we thought were fundamental limits like 400
00:31:20.080 times improvement in reasoning per teraflop not four not 40 400 times our benchmarks now are literally
00:31:30.780 meaningless the scariest part isn't the raw capability but how it's developing novel mathematical
00:31:37.980 frameworks on the fly to solve problems research gives it questions and it events entirely new
00:31:43.580 branches of mathematics to answer them one physicist showed it a problem he'd been stuck on for 15 years
00:31:49.000 it solved it in seconds with notations nobody recognized it took three days for them to translate
00:31:55.720 its solution back into standard mathematics we saw demo videos that can't possibly be real except
00:32:02.800 multiple independent sources confirm r2 uh designed and simulated room temperature superconductor
00:32:09.300 from first principles in under an hour complete with fabrication methods using existing technology
00:32:16.920 they've already produced the samples in the beijing labs blah blah blah blah blah blah um their
00:32:22.740 interrogation their um uh integrate integrate integrate i can't say it now interrogation no no no the uh
00:32:30.160 merging with man and machine um with biological systems is the integration integration thank you um with
00:32:38.120 biological systems is the real nightmare fuel two-way neural interfaces that make neural link look like a
00:32:45.580 child's toy direct cognitive enhancement already in human trials this isn't even the most advanced
00:32:53.660 system they're the ones showing it publicly america is still treating this like normal technology race
00:32:59.660 while china understands it's an exist uh extinction level transformation of civilization it's like
00:33:06.340 watching a nuclear power race where one side is debating the ethics of gunpowder
00:33:11.620 wow now i because my my recollection of the deep seek story when that came out a few months ago was
00:33:20.360 it was nothing experts landed on the idea that there is absolutely like they basically were using our
00:33:26.560 technology yes and it wasn't as impressive as initially thought that and so this person or bot
00:33:32.100 is saying that it is now i will say if you are a person trying to hide your identity saying that you just
00:33:37.500 had a four-hour conversation with a specific company i mean how many four-hour conversations
00:33:42.540 happened that day it would be a weird way to hide your identity unless you're lying about it
00:33:46.720 um so who knows maybe it's just all blown hopefully it's all blown out i mean you read the i mean sam
00:33:52.520 maltman follows i mean others so follow i mean it's not just right it's seen inside the circles and
00:33:58.520 they don't know who it is or what it is a post like that makes me think it's a chinese bot yeah
00:34:05.520 because it seems like it's a promoting deep seek right as this amazing but he's not always promoting
00:34:10.060 deep seek or it isn't this is the craziest part you don't know now it doesn't have to be a person
00:34:17.060 it could be an algorithm now of course there is this thing you know there's no what is it there's
00:34:24.760 no uh there's no limit to the levels humans can achieve when you don't care about pain and suffering
00:34:30.360 yes i think i'm paraphrasing louise again with that one but it's like you know chinese can just kind of
00:34:35.420 throw bodies at this if they're doing live human trials on this stuff as we've seen maybe with wuhan in
00:34:41.860 the past they're kind of willing to do anything right and if they're doing this and and actually
00:34:47.220 seeing these advances we would we wouldn't do no you wouldn't be in human trials yet for any of this
00:34:53.580 stuff although you know a very long ramp up for elon musk's company is we've seen some of that i guess
00:34:59.460 but they're just they'll just throw people at it you know what's crazy is we are dealing with
00:35:04.820 technology that we have absolutely no idea what it's going to be like what it can do what nothing
00:35:10.120 nothing and and i've read several of this this bot or this person's posts and they're talking about
00:35:17.220 how uh just everything that you everything the way you work the way you think everything is just
00:35:23.920 about ready to be just completely disrupted yeah um and and we're we're just the world is just kind
00:35:31.300 of going along with it and we're like oh i don't know i don't know it could be maybe we should pass
00:35:35.440 something about it we're just going along with it and you know science there's a there's a watch i
00:35:42.220 think it was omega i can't remember there was a watch that was made in the 1950s and 60s and it's
00:35:47.980 sweep hand it's second hand it had like a lollipop and it was you know on it so it was the stick of the
00:35:55.100 hand and then it had like this little circle on it and it was sweeping around and the reason why they
00:36:00.960 put the lollipop on it is it was a signal to the buyer and the wearer that that watch didn't have
00:36:09.440 radiation in it and it's not like oh you were working at a lab it was that they were you know
00:36:15.900 we had put to make things glow at night that was radiation okay to get the luminosity on watches at
00:36:24.300 first we were like wow we just used some of this hey and and that went on for like a couple of
00:36:31.240 decades yeah you know and we were like hey i'll come his arm keeps losing all his hair in the first
00:36:39.440 week wearing that watch and so they and so they put like this little lollipop on it going yep no
00:36:45.860 radiation in this one dude that's crazy that we could make we could do that kind of stuff for that long
00:36:53.900 and we kind of forget about it and now what are we working with this is gonna make nuclear stuff look
00:37:01.240 like nothing like nothing we're so close to it as well it seems i read another i read another post
00:37:11.500 where they were saying that uh that it is getting so fast in in for defense that and i've i said this i
00:37:22.600 i know i said this five years ago that you won't even know that you've lost the war because for you
00:37:30.880 the war hasn't even started yet but you will start and lose the war in a flash in as time as it takes
00:37:41.140 you to go wait a minute there's a war going on what you've already lost it happened and you've lost
00:37:46.840 because ai is gonna get so good it will predict absolutely every move that everybody's gonna make
00:37:54.760 and it will just go well here's the counter move boom and put it in you're like okay well that's over
00:38:00.560 it's like when you and uh you're not a big video game guy but when you start playing a game and
00:38:09.120 you're going you just decide to go on like the toughest level of the opposing ai
00:38:12.440 and like they just can't do anything like you you just automatically your base is destroyed in
00:38:17.880 seconds that's a very very low level version of this yeah um let me can i give you one other thing
00:38:25.820 on ai i think this is fascinating this is in the wall this was in the wall street journal two weeks
00:38:30.720 ago and i didn't hear any i haven't heard anybody talking about it um we've talked about for a long
00:38:36.760 time the surveillance state right like i remember with you taking calls from people going i will not
00:38:41.500 get an easy pass because that means they can track me when i go through the tolls right like
00:38:46.720 remember when we were in tampa this is the year 2000 they put they put cameras up in the streets
00:38:52.860 of is it ybor city ybor city and everybody's like i'm gonna put up with a camera not not in america
00:39:00.540 right now nobody was willing to give their fingerprints nobody wanted to give their face
00:39:05.520 yep none of them now we all carry a phone which of course gps everywhere we go yeah we click yes
00:39:11.160 agree agree agree to everything we open the phone with our face listen to this this is
00:39:16.340 amazing uh this is from an author joanna stern wall street journal wall street journal i've been wearing
00:39:23.840 a wire everywhere since february how the article starts i've got all the transcripts important
00:39:30.040 meetings arguments with my kids chats with disgruntled employees late night bathroom routines
00:39:35.560 there's plenty more that i can't share i can't share if i want to and my bosses and my family
00:39:40.300 uh as well to keep liking me no i'm not an fbi informant i willingly wore a 50 bracelet
00:39:47.060 that records everything i say and uses ai to summarize my life and send me helpful reminders
00:39:54.960 why would you do that that's called a panopticon
00:40:00.460 i think we're basically how do you have a private conversation in this world
00:40:06.060 they have she tested two other devices as well that are on the market now for 159 199
00:40:11.880 they recall every single thing they transcribe every single thing they have recordings of every
00:40:16.900 single thing that was said or by her let's try this around her no let's try it for crazy
00:40:22.040 that's crazy crazy crazy no it's crazy not to try it to show everybody how bad it is but it would
00:40:29.240 be crazy to do it and be like i think that's going to be a great addition to my life she says
00:40:34.300 within hours of wearing this bracelet i was blown away at how quickly it turned ramblings and random
00:40:39.160 chatter into useful actionable information yet allow me to quote myself from february 24th at 5 15 p.m
00:40:45.920 this bracelet is really effing creepy apparently said that out loud but i mean you can see again i can
00:40:54.100 see a world where that would probably would be beneficial if you have a conversation with someone
00:40:58.240 about something god what do they say you'd have it when when you were saying hey we should get
00:41:02.900 together next thursday it puts something in your calendar that says hey call this person about that
00:41:07.200 thursday meeting you discussed of course that would be beneficial in some way having it's like having
00:41:11.540 an assistant if you if you're an executive you might have an assistant those those bots are already
00:41:16.680 come by the end of the year those will be strong everywhere you'll have that assistant doing that
00:41:21.480 in your phone and everything else it'll already do that you there this is the death of private
00:41:27.340 conversations though it is they're over yeah you never every single time you have a conversation you
00:41:34.040 should act like you're on television having yes well we've lived that way for a long time that's
00:41:40.160 that's what made me so interested maybe we said back in 2008 we go to fox remember i'm i'm the most
00:41:47.280 admired man in the world i'm tied i'm number three in some poll in the ap every year they do that
00:41:54.320 that poll uh and i'm tied for with the pope and nelson mandela okay for number three that's how
00:42:00.960 screwed up our values were back then but anyway so i go from that on to fox and all of a sudden it is
00:42:07.280 like hatred hatred everywhere and everything we say because we're in new york city we have to be
00:42:14.700 careful is somebody listening to us is anything around so everything we say in private unless you
00:42:20.600 were in our own house until some security guy came and said um no but anything that we were saying in
00:42:28.460 our own house you know might be fine everything else and everything i remember saying every text you
00:42:35.020 write i don't care who it's to i don't care what it's about imagine it on the front page of the new
00:42:39.820 york times you have to write everything as if it's on the front page of the new york times
00:42:45.680 so it is it's i mean it can be done but it's really awful but even then as you point out the house there
00:42:52.840 are moments where you think you'd have a private conversation with someone when they're wearing
00:42:56.780 a recordable which is and they're tiny they're little bracelets i don't even notice here's the
00:43:02.660 thing my wife wears one of these rings uh with the aura ring yeah to talk about her steps and her
00:43:09.060 my wife does that too yeah yeah so and i'm watching this and she she got up in the morning and she's
00:43:14.600 checking her sleep and stuff and i'm like can i borrow that ring and she's like no i don't know get
00:43:18.940 your own and i'm like i really don't want it but it's pretty cool it's pretty cool it tells you
00:43:24.140 everything you need to i mean it monitors your body and it's great if it's contained there and you can go
00:43:32.020 delete you know what i mean i mean and they of course say that even the recording device places
00:43:37.180 say everything's encrypted it's on of course right uh-huh um i will say that the one thing maybe
00:43:42.900 legally you could do on this stuff is there's only 12 states that are two-party consent states for
00:43:48.000 recordings that strikes me as wrong like it's that probably should be a lot higher like i don't know
00:43:53.360 if you're recording yourself yeah but if you're having a conversation with someone it's a one-party
00:43:57.720 consent so you're the party you can say you consent to the recording i don't care what they do
00:44:01.840 do what you want with them just leave me alone
00:44:04.200 claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament i've been visualizing my match all week she was
00:44:14.260 so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side
00:44:18.900 good thing claudia's with intact the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the
00:44:24.940 country everything was taken care of under one roof and she was on her way in a rental car in no time
00:44:29.940 i made it to my tournament and lost in the first round but you got there on time intact insurance
00:44:36.180 your auto service ace certain conditions apply
00:44:38.940 you
