we'll make a difference and thanks for standing with us now let's get to work the last time i
00:00:52.620
spoke with this week's guest the great reset was in full swing klaus schwab the world economic forum
00:00:57.740
ruled the world and my guest predicted that the global elites were going to use ai and transhumanism
00:01:03.300
to create a new class of slaves now fast forward three years and it seems like donald trump has
00:01:09.080
destroyed the wef and esg in america the rest of the world is spiraling towards total government
00:01:15.920
control and ai is becoming a part of our daily lives so what's happening now where does she see us
00:01:23.040
now is the great reset really dead uh or have the global elites just pivoted and and what's happening
00:01:29.980
with um digital id which has just been uh released is that part of everything kind of spooky that we've
00:01:38.400
talked about in the past please welcome back to the podcast one of the world's leading researchers
00:01:43.400
on these issues whitney webb hello whitney welcome back glad to have you hi it's been a while thank
00:02:04.780
you my pleasure thanks for having me back on you bet um you know last time we spoke it was i think it was
00:02:10.980
right after covid you had just released your book on epstein which is fabulous um uh thank you i just
00:02:19.140
had released a book on the world economic forum and the great reset and we were talking about this
00:02:25.920
about the great reset and the world economic forum and you said that's only really one
00:02:33.660
part of this big global octopus and uh and i was so hyper focused on the world economic forum and what
00:02:44.240
they were doing i have to ask you has the world economic forum been sacrificed did we win do that
00:02:51.960
because it kind of went to the wayside but i know they're not gone klaus schwab was exposed
00:02:58.740
of course they're not right they're not gone so have they just mutated is somebody else taking
00:03:05.220
their place that they passed the tort what what is happening yeah so i would argue let's look let's go
00:03:12.780
back to what the wef is by its own description it's the premier promoter of the public-private partnership
00:03:19.660
so i think a lot of the policies they attempt to sell people through the public sector i.e. governments
00:03:25.440
was exposed and i think they've gone to the other side of the public-private partnership
00:03:30.600
um and are trying to uh market some of their policies that are uh unpopular with significant
00:03:37.940
segments particularly in the west uh you know via the private sector i would can you give me
00:03:44.200
examples i think that's what's happening uh yeah so i guess one example would be uh let's take what's
00:03:51.340
happening in britain for example with uh the so-called brit card and and digital id so obviously
00:03:57.480
there's been a lot of political pushback to that um from from keir starmer uh uh his uh intention
00:04:06.400
to uh frame this as a way to solve illegal immigration which is absolutely a ludicrous idea
00:04:11.400
madness uh yeah yeah completely uh insane and so um and then they of course come out and said that
00:04:18.700
soon you know it wasn't just limited to uh its use as an alleged work permit it would expand to all
00:04:25.660
uh facets of life um but actually um if you look at how the un has labeled or has sort of laid out the
00:04:35.820
the its plan really uh to have digital id implemented at a global scale it's not to have it be a centralized
00:04:44.120
digital id like the brick card has been proposed um instead it's meant to be a vendor agnostic system
00:04:51.300
whereby you would have different vendors um sell a digital id type of platform and so to the public
00:05:00.020
the public would see it as decentralized and all these different private sector uh partners and digital
00:05:06.300
id that they have the illusion of choice between them but really all that data is meant to be
00:05:11.380
interoperable um and so that it can all be harvested off of any of these um you know a different digital
00:05:18.460
id platforms and correlated in a mass in a in a single database because ultimately if you were to
00:05:24.940
have something like brick card for example happen you would have all of the data be harvested into a
00:05:29.820
single library what tony blair's institute for example calls the national data library um something
00:05:37.080
like that so you could have that happen with keir starmer's brick card or something else um that
00:05:43.460
it comes from i don't know five or six uh five or six different companies offering different forms of
00:05:48.400
digital id uh but all of that data could still be harvested um you know from all of those um different
00:05:55.640
vendors because they all agree to specific standards and if you look at some of these alliances
00:05:59.940
about digital id uh that were a focus during um covid for example like the id 2020 alliance for example
00:06:08.760
they were all about getting all these different vendors of digital id to agree to the same set of
00:06:14.440
international standards so that they could harvest the data from any digital id no matter who makes it
00:06:20.900
and have it held in the same global centralized database so um there are different ways to get
00:06:27.580
what they ultimately want but it all comes down to public perception so a colleague of mine who i've
00:06:34.460
worked with closely on digital id um uh for a few years now um ian davis recently wrote about what's
00:06:41.480
going on in the uk and he's based there um and he posited that maybe what keir starmer is doing is
00:06:47.020
actually a bait and switch um that to create all this unpopularity about this style of digital id but
00:06:53.060
then someone later could come in riding the wave of the discontent that this is creating and then
00:06:58.260
offer a new solution uh which would be more along the lines of what i just described which is actually
00:07:04.020
how the u.n itself and sdg 16 uh which is the sdg that includes uh digital id uh you know the road map
00:07:11.780
laid out there uh is not the same as the one laid out uh by keir starmer so in in that you still have a
00:07:19.460
public private partnership right but it would be the private leading as opposed to the public leading
00:07:24.660
um and what we're seeing come out of the uk right now is is being sold as a public leading thing and
00:07:30.100
it's grossly unpopular um and i think they're a lot smarter than people give them credit for
00:07:35.940
um i mean they're fundamentally very uh manipulative and they want us to get stuck with the same um
00:07:43.620
policy but they're very apt at selling it uh different ways and they know that they've become very
00:07:48.740
unpopular with large segments of the population um and so you know like a chameleon they have to
00:07:53.700
take a different form but ultimately the goal is to lead people to the same um type of uh you know
00:07:59.380
technocratic uh orwellian system a couple things first of all i have for years now looked at what is
00:08:10.500
being done to us with both horror and also in a way strange admiration they they are so thorough they
00:08:21.700
are so well thought out the structure of this the fallbacks the the use of behavioral scientists and
00:08:31.460
everything else at some point a book is going to be written that says look at how all of this was
00:08:38.260
designed i mean it is probably many books yeah it is it's really it's it's it's it's incredible incredible
00:08:49.060
to me how many great minds have spent so much time trying to enslave their fellow human beings you know
00:08:58.340
yeah uh i think it's because a lot of the people uh that seek to uh enslave the vast majority of of
00:09:08.260
humanity uh have a a lot of capital uh that they uh want to uh devote to this unfortunately um and um
00:09:19.540
unfortunately we also know that money can buy you essentially anything in today's world including
00:09:24.020
armies of behavioral psychologists like psychologists and any other number of other specialists um but
00:09:29.860
ultimately you know i think a lot of them are increasingly relying on um artificial intelligence
00:09:34.980
to be able to do this uh at scale and so i think um uh this advent of the era of you know ai generated
00:09:42.580
content also enables them to um you know tweak uh things faster and also to um manipulate our attention
00:09:52.100
in ways that uh you know are just really being uh discovered and maybe won't be discovered uh you
00:09:57.540
know for a long time um with you know it increasingly significant impacts on on human behavior behavior and
00:10:04.580
also on human uh perception so um yeah i think ultimately it's never been more important to be a critical
00:10:11.940
thinker and to do as much of your own research as possible and the best way to do that research like
00:10:17.700
what i just talked about regarding you know the un and digital id and how they say it you know it's
00:10:22.740
in their own documents you just have to go in and read it and not everyone can do that but if these
00:10:27.620
are issues that particularly concern you we absolutely absolutely should uh you know make make that effort
00:10:33.620
and also i think uh you know in the covet era for example a lot of people were against these particular
00:10:39.620
policies digital id uh being one of them but these people will repackage and rename and sell you the same
00:10:45.700
uh policy uh under different metrics and under a different name with a different face that they
00:10:50.900
deem you know uh you know polling shows they're more politically palatable to that particular
00:10:56.740
demographic or what have you so i think the more we focus on the policies that we don't want
00:11:01.940
uh the better off we'll be instead of the person selling it to us um and we never you know the new
00:11:07.620
buzzword that's following it around and we never seem to learn i mean this is what they did with the
00:11:11.540
federal reserve you know with the federal reserve act 1913 yeah this is what they did with the patriot
00:11:16.580
act that thing was written you know two years three years before 9-11 they tried to package it didn't
00:11:22.900
work just repackaged waited for the right moment i mean this is the way they do it for anybody who
00:11:29.060
is not truly up on digital ids and why this is so important can you explain what digital id means if we
00:11:41.300
begin to implement them yeah well digital id is really the linchpin to uh you know the sustainable
00:11:49.540
development goals as well as this mass surveillance paradigm that's being sold to us uh by oligarchs on
00:11:56.260
the left and the right it would be your unique identifier for the digital world the goal is to have it be
00:12:02.500
uh the way for you to uh offer your credentials to every service uh that you access period everything
00:12:09.460
ranging from healthcare to telecommunications your social media accounts and as things become
00:12:14.260
increasingly increasingly digitally connected you know perhaps even your appliances if they're smart
00:12:19.540
appliances at some point won't uh function without you having the proper credentials uh to show that
00:12:25.460
it's you so ultimately if people want to fight against this mass surveillance pair uh paradigm and these
00:12:32.740
efforts to usher us into into you know a very dark i would argue a technocratic future the most important
00:12:39.540
thing is to not comply uh with digital id because it's the single most important piece of infrastructure
00:12:45.860
that they need and they need us to voluntarily consent because even if they roll it out
00:12:50.980
um and people but it will fail if people decline to use it so ultimately so much effort is being spent on
00:12:58.500
convincing us to adopt it and so we need to be laser focused on that policy and say no thank you let
00:13:04.260
me play the devil's advocate that you hear every time every time we take a bad bad step towards more
00:13:10.740
digital surveillance well i don't have anything to hide i don't really care i don't have anything to
00:13:15.620
hide why why why is that you know a a kindergarten answer well i would argue because a lot of these uh
00:13:26.260
companies that are engaged in these uh mass surveillance or the contractors really that
00:13:30.500
are engaged in in mass surveillance don't ultimately have just watching what you're doing as being enough
00:13:37.060
for them they're ultimately interested in things like predictive analytics and predictive policing
00:13:43.220
so based on your behavior now and your behavior in the past they want to use artificial intelligence
00:13:48.340
to determine what you may do in the future and in the case of predictive policing that would be well
00:13:54.100
we've determined that you may commit a crime in the future and so we're going to uh you know send you
00:14:01.140
to a court-ordered physician or you know and detain issue house arrest to protect to stop crime before
00:14:08.740
it happens essentially um is where a lot of these companies well yeah uh and unfortunately it is that
00:14:15.540
and there's a lot of companies that have made um massive inroads uh in in that type of technology even
00:14:23.300
though it's been hugely discredited um there's several companies i think the most notorious
00:14:28.020
at this point is called or was called predpol they've since rebranded but they were less accurate
00:14:33.620
than a coin toss and people were being uh you know deprived of of their liberty uh because of an
00:14:39.940
of an algorithm that was hugely inaccurate uh and ultimately you know if you look in the uk for
00:14:45.620
example some of these algorithms for facial recognition have been rolled out even though they've been
00:14:50.260
shown over there too to be hugely inaccurate and there's no interest in changing uh vendors even
00:14:56.020
when this inaccuracy is demonstrated so to me that says that their goal is to have us induce and be
00:15:03.220
obedience by the fact that you're being watched all the time and anything you may do could be used
00:15:08.580
against you even if you're not doing anything wrong now um an algorithm could determine that
00:15:14.500
certain you know errant behaviors uh warrant you being added to a list of some type and actually
00:15:20.260
larry ellison of oracle who is one of the main funders of tony blair's uh institute that's one of
00:15:25.460
the biggest pushers for digital id in the uk said this at an oracle uh shareholder meeting that you know
00:15:31.300
we're recording and surveilling everything and citizens will be on their best behavior
00:15:36.020
because they have to essentially paraphrasing the fact that donald trump is listening to that guy
00:15:41.940
is terrifying to me i mean he is he has put some people around him on this tech board that are not
00:15:50.100
friends of freedom and liberty they're just not larry ellison is leading that pack yeah a lot of them
00:15:58.420
are are you know i would argue overtly and also covertly globalist um you have people uh you know in that
00:16:05.380
network you just mentioned uh serving for example on the steering committee of the bilderberg group
00:16:10.180
uh which is you know uh a well-known closed-door meeting uh globalist conflab um and unfortunately
00:16:18.740
um you know i think they've been some of them anyway have been able to characterize their policies as
00:16:25.060
uh libertarian for example uh even though some of those same oligarchs are on record saying that the
00:16:30.260
free market is for losers uh if you want to get rich build a monopoly and build monopolies uh they have
00:16:37.220
unfortunately uh but i think again this is what uh i was saying earlier about um the world economic
00:16:43.940
forum you know there's an effort to sell this uh since they couldn't sell it from the left uh the
00:16:49.780
goal now is to try and sell it somehow uh from the right uh and to try and frame it under metrics and
00:16:56.900
dialectics that'll be more appealing uh to the group that was most against these policies just a few years
00:17:02.900
ago um and unfortunately you know with ai and all of that it pretend we could happen it could happen
00:17:08.740
if people aren't aren't vigilant you know just a few years ago someone like elon musk was a major
00:17:14.100
promoter of things like carbon markets and pricing carbon for example and that was actually why he had
00:17:20.180
a falling out with trump in trump's first administration it was because trump pulled out of the paris agreements
00:17:26.100
and elon musk was like well i can't have that um so have these oligarchs really changed or have they
00:17:32.100
instead tried to make themselves more appealing because they've noticed the change in public
00:17:36.820
opinion uh and want to uh try and get you know us to continue to buy into uh their solutions uh that
00:17:44.340
they uh have a lot of money to spend convincing us are actually good and rebranding them so and again
00:17:50.340
this is why i say it's important to focus on the policies specifically how do we um well wait wait
00:17:57.620
before i get there let me go back to digital id tie this into a digital currency because this is the
00:18:05.140
this is the the highway system for that isn't it sure yeah well um larry fink is now running i believe
00:18:14.740
the world economic forum he's acting chairman and uh saying that everything yeah in addition to saying
00:18:22.100
that everything will be tokenized he's uh said that everything will soon be uh on the same universal
00:18:30.340
digital ledger or database um and that everything on that database will have a unique identifier number
00:18:37.620
so for you as an individual your identifier number uh will presumably be your digital id or directly linked
00:18:45.780
to that but everything will have a digital id uh the tokenization agenda in particular seeks to
00:18:52.980
tokenize uh not just you know assets that we traditionally think of um like real estate for
00:18:59.300
example and or or gold or you know physical assets as well as digital assets like bitcoin uh there's a
00:19:07.300
major effort uh connected with people like like fink and also people like mark carney who's now a prime
00:19:13.300
minister of canada to tokenize uh the the natural world and transform it into financial assets and
00:19:20.420
there was an attempt to do this to an extent under the biden administration i believe through this the
00:19:24.740
department of interior yeah with natural asset corporations but that has not gone away uh and
00:19:30.420
there are groups um for example one of the creators of the etf uh model originally uh which blackrock now
00:19:39.140
now owns uh i shares his name is peter kanez i think is how you pronounce it he's trying to turn
00:19:44.740
um the amazon rainforest uh into a digital commodity uh sort of similar to bear bitcoin in terms of like
00:19:53.780
the the scarcity uh idea that you know each hectare of the amazon rainforest would represent um you know a
00:20:01.140
token and then and then financialize it that way and then each hectare would then be have its unique
00:20:06.740
identifier right on on the on the blockchain and and would be you know serviced uh by surveillance
00:20:14.820
drones and all sorts of stuff so even our most like natural the places we conceptualize as the most
00:20:21.220
natural places on earth these people want to come in a place surveillance technology and you know
00:20:26.340
tokenize it and put it on a blockchain and use it to um you know i would argue in the case particularly
00:20:32.340
of natural asset uh corporations and the group behind it the intrinsic exchange group um they
00:20:37.940
just want to open up a huge new asset class they call it nature's opportunity so that they can continue
00:20:43.700
engaging in the same type of uh bad behavior that for example bought us brought us the 2008 financial
00:20:49.460
crisis uh by you know can uh can tupeling basically uh the amount of assets currently in play um it's um you
00:20:59.220
you know i had a guy very very insane i had a guy who worked uh very very very high up at uh citibank
00:21:06.580
and he told me around 2008 uh he said glenn you know don't worry about the financial system and i'm
00:21:12.100
like uh-huh and uh he said um you know we're never going to go broke i mean do you know how much just the
00:21:18.980
national parks are worth and i looked at him and said are you seriously telling me that we should
00:21:25.380
commoditize the national parks and he said it's going to happen and i wonder now if this is what
00:21:33.460
he was talking about if it was just a digital not actually selling them it's just a digital
00:21:40.900
commoditization of our parks yeah so apply this now to the the phrase that we all heard during the
00:21:47.380
covet era you'll own nothing and be happy well there's certain people that want to own everything
00:21:53.220
and that includes things that have never been able to be owned before that were considered
00:21:58.260
things like the public commons like rivers lakes the ocean itself natural forests all sorts of it
00:22:04.900
these people want to put all of that um into the financial system fractionalize it tokenize it and
00:22:11.620
sell pizza sell pieces of it around uh you know use it to speculate on i mean it's it's it's very
00:22:18.660
bonkers so yeah and so this is just one aspect of the uh the digital currency play obviously there's
00:22:25.780
a lot more than that just going on as well um i would argue that a lot of this push particularly in
00:22:30.980
the u.s um for dollar stable coins supposedly being better than a central bank digital currency
00:22:37.380
also falls into this uh paradigm we talked about earlier of you know moving from the public to the
00:22:43.380
private of the public private partnership because a lot of these stable coin issuers you know if the
00:22:49.220
concern the big concerns about uh cbdc's was that they're seizeable they're surveillable and they're
00:22:55.780
programmable well all of those three things also can apply to stable coins the only difference is that
00:23:01.300
you would have the private company issue it and control it but we've seen time and again how a lot
00:23:07.540
of these private entities are willing to do that when contacted just look at how bank of america
00:23:12.340
behaved with january 6 people accused of wrongdoing on that day for example um you know they have no
00:23:18.340
qualms in doing that uh and engaging in in those type of activities and the biggest uh dollar stable
00:23:23.940
coin issuer uh tether which just hired bo hinds uh from the white house um they have uh openly said that
00:23:32.980
they are a close partner of the u.s government for dollar hegemony uh globally and have uploaded uh the
00:23:39.620
fbi the secret service and other aspects of the u.s government onto its platform directly and have
00:23:45.940
seized uh tethers you know from people uh just because you know the government told them to and
00:23:51.700
this was during the biden administration so they obviously are willing to do that under any
00:23:55.780
administration and it's uh essentially functioning as a de facto public private partnership even though
00:24:01.140
we're being told um it's a it's much better than a cbdc but in terms of its impacts on civil
00:24:06.580
liberties you know that's not necessarily true so again vigilance is is important here
00:24:13.780
more with whitney in just a second but right now the average american is still finding it difficult
00:24:17.700
to pay expenses every month and in most cases there is nothing left over to cover the extras
00:24:22.580
most aren't getting a big raise and expenses are being so high it can be really hard to manage without
00:24:26.900
grabbing for the credit cards but listen if you're a homeowner and you are frustrated with that endless
00:24:31.140
cycle that only produces more debt and i want you to take 10 minutes today and give american
00:24:36.340
financing a call if you're constantly carrying a credit card balance every single month with an
00:24:40.980
interest rate in the 20s or even 30s american financing can show you how to put your hard-earned
00:24:45.860
equity to work and get out of debt they have salary-based mortgage consultants that are saving
00:24:50.100
customers an average of 800 a month and that could be you so get started today you may not have to make
00:24:55.940
next month mortgage payment no upfront fees doesn't cost you anything to find out how much you could
00:25:00.180
be saving call american financing 800-906-2440 800-906-2440 or americanfinancing.net when i found out my
00:25:10.260
friend got a great deal on a wool coat from winners i started wondering is every fabulous item i see from
00:25:17.060
winners like that woman over there with the designer jeans are those from winners ooh are those beautiful
00:25:23.460
gold earrings did she pay full price or that leather tote or that cashmere sweater or those knee-high boots
00:25:29.620
that dress that jacket those shoes is anyone paying full price for anything stop wondering start winning
00:25:37.220
winners find fabulous for less let me go to ai because it's all connected unfortunately um
00:25:45.300
um ai is one of the most exciting things man has ever come up with and also the most terrifying thing man
00:25:55.380
has ever i mean it it makes uh nuclear weapons look like a romper room or you know some sort of preschool
00:26:02.740
game um it is uh it is frightening in the fact that you don't really know who's programming it um
00:26:15.060
it's going to be ubiquitous it's going to be everywhere it will know everything that you're
00:26:20.340
doing looking for etc etc um uh but it is now also crossing the lines where was it was it albania
00:26:28.900
albania that just put their first minister digital minister yes into place it would be like having
00:26:38.020
you know pete hegseth you know replaced with a an avatar and it doesn't seem to be that big of a deal
00:26:46.100
to a lot of people you want to tell that story and what that means well i think people have been
00:26:52.900
increasingly normalized uh to sort of to the dissolution between the digital and virtual
00:26:58.660
worlds and that's not by coincidence so going back to the world economic forum the goal of the
00:27:03.060
so the weft so-called fourth industrial revolution is to blur those lines uh very overtly and so you
00:27:09.220
know what we're seeing here are stepping stones leading us to an increasingly uh encroaching all digital
00:27:15.460
system and and you know it it probably began some time ago um i'm sure you remember several years
00:27:22.180
ago uh muhammad bin salman for example gave citizenship to a robot and that was kind of
00:27:27.860
framed as novel but you know there's been an effort to normalize these kinds of of things with respect
00:27:33.700
uh to the government so now they're having um you know ai run the government under the guise that it's
00:27:39.620
it's more efficient it's more trustworthy and all of that but again who is accountable if the ai makes
00:27:45.620
a mistake because ai does make mistakes ai also hallucinates and uh returns results that are
00:27:52.500
essentially indicative of an ear reality something that is completely uh not true um and so who is
00:27:59.220
accountable in those cases uh can they hold the ai minister directly accountable not really does the
00:28:04.500
accountability fall to the person who programmed the ai uh it it obviously opens up a pretty sticky
00:28:11.300
uh situation but uh i would in in the case of this argue that this is in furtherance of of an agenda
00:28:18.180
that was actually laid out by henry kissinger and eric schmidt in their book um oh i forget what it's
00:28:23.940
called uh sorry about that but they wrote a couple books on ai in the earlier one i think it's uh ai in our
00:28:30.340
human future is the subtitle or the age of ai something like that um they essentially argue that um
00:28:37.140
we should put ai in charge of government because they assume they they obviously believe
00:28:44.020
that ai is a form of a super intelligence therefore it knows better than humans do and so even when it
00:28:50.020
returns these uh unreal irreality uh results we should take that as uh as a sign that it can see things
00:28:59.540
humans cannot see we should just trust that it's there because we should trust that it's super intelligent
00:29:05.460
and sort of uh you know offset uh give give it power over our lives supposedly because it's a better
00:29:13.780
arbiter uh of what's real and what's not uh than we are which is um i think that is uh just insane
00:29:24.580
also i'm sorry to keep repeating that word but it's hard some of this is really insane just bonkers stuff
00:29:31.460
yeah and in addition to that kissinger and schmidt laid out that their biggest interest in ai uh was
00:29:38.020
its impact on human perception and ultimately if you're able to completely control how people perceive
00:29:45.300
reality you control their behavior you don't need mind control at the end of the day or any of these
00:29:51.140
things in the back that uh you know the cia and national security agencies were experimenting with you
00:29:57.860
know you don't need that if you can completely control uh their perception of what's going on
00:30:03.300
and so the goal uh as they lay out here or laid out in that book uh is uh to have people rely on ai for
00:30:10.660
their perception of essentially everything um and that eventually by doing so uh people would be what
00:30:17.380
they uh the term they used was cognitively diminished to the point that they wouldn't be able to
00:30:22.660
understand how ai acts upon them anymore but that wouldn't be true for everyone there would be a
00:30:28.100
small class that is not affected that way and they would be the class that programs and maintains the ai
00:30:35.540
determines what it does but the rest of us um a large underclass would be acted upon by the ai but again
00:30:43.460
lose the mental capacity to understand what it's doing to them and that eventually it would start
00:30:48.660
determining their preferences for them and all sorts of evil i mean there is no other way to describe
00:30:54.100
this other than evil when you are taking humans who are built to act not to be acted upon and you
00:31:02.980
purposely put them into a class that you can act upon that is there's no better word to define it than evil
00:31:12.900
yeah well the term you know that gets thrown around a lot for this is post-human future but what
00:31:20.100
what is more evil to humanity than that just eliminating us and turning us into what some of
00:31:26.420
these um libertarian oligarchs called technoplastic beings i mean some of them think that uh humans are
00:31:33.620
nothing more than uh bootloaders for digital intelligence i mean that's how we are perceived by a
00:31:39.540
lot of these tech oligarchs because again a lot of their goal and they've been relatively open about
00:31:44.100
this is to live forever uh but in defiance of natural law so using technology to allow them to
00:31:51.220
uh become gods a lot of these uh tech oligarchs including like the co-founders of google uh have
00:31:57.460
been pretty uh open about that and even someone like jeffrey epstein for example who was uh very
00:32:03.380
interested in in eugenics and ai and all of that was interested in and you know those technologies
00:32:09.380
for those same ends i mean there's a a whole uh group of i would i would call them pretty sick
00:32:15.780
billionaires uh who want to use this technology uh to better themselves in that way and live forever
00:32:23.060
where the rest of us become cognitively uh um we become cognitively incapable of questioning what
00:32:33.380
we should say no i know we should think that should be pretty clear i don't know if we do
00:32:39.060
um where do you find hope in all of this so uh yeah i get asked this question a lot because when
00:32:47.140
i'm talking about these systems it's it's obviously dark and it's obviously wrong but again like i said
00:32:52.340
earlier it's i don't i don't think it's hopeless because they are spending so much money and so much
00:32:57.060
energy on getting us to consent to these policies um you can build these digital systems that
00:33:03.220
once you're in them will imprison you uh but if no one uses these systems they can't do anything
00:33:08.980
um so a lot of there's a lot of efforts for example to use them to implement them on existing user bases
00:33:14.660
of massive social media websites uh for example but if people decline to use it or people leave these
00:33:21.460
platforms or stop using these uh you know certain digital infrastructure tied to these people it will
00:33:27.940
collapse they need people what are the ones we should be avoiding right now
00:33:33.700
well i think people should do their own research uh and look at who owns what but a lot of these uh
00:33:39.060
billionaires uh you have you know people like larry ellison and eric schmidt the google guys people
00:33:45.140
like pierre omidyar who were on the left reed hoffman bill gates right and then you have you know
00:33:49.860
people like elon musk uh and and peter thiel and the the paypal mafia crowd most of them uh frame
00:33:56.260
themselves as libertarian if you look at um uh their philosophy their own words um they're overtly
00:34:04.180
transhumanist um a lot of them despite saying things to the contrary want global government
00:34:11.540
in some form uh and you know the ones on the supposedly libertarian side frame it as having
00:34:17.620
a ceo in charge of everything but a ceo that would govern as a dictator so i don't ultimately
00:34:24.100
see that as as much better given all this technology that's uh would be in the hands of this one or you
00:34:30.660
know these this very small uh group of people um but they don't own everything they own a lot of
00:34:36.020
technology uh obviously in tech in technological platforms social media um and and all sorts of
00:34:43.860
things but it's up to people if they want to continue using those services and supporting these
00:34:48.260
people uh because ultimately they need us to make their system work they want to harvest us for data
00:34:55.220
and like i said earlier they want to use us as as bootloaders for their digital intelligence and they
00:35:00.740
can't continue to improve and feed the ai without us doing it for them they can't do it alone so
00:35:14.020
they're not likely to leave things that make their life easier it is not yeah well that's that's the
00:35:20.740
price of convenience isn't it and i think a lot of the effort to enslave us has been to uh
00:35:25.940
uh cajole us and uh influence us with with convenience and comfort uh but also in theory
00:35:33.780
you know prison is comfortable right in the sense that you have a roof over your head and they bring
00:35:39.140
you food um and i mean it you know a digital prison without walls uh you know could be similarly
00:35:47.220
comfortable and you wouldn't have to lift a finger to fight uh you know for your freedom but we can still
00:35:53.140
uh oh sorry you wouldn't have to lift a finger to fight for your freedom you would just willingly
00:35:58.020
walk into the system right um but we those of us that don't want to live in the system have to do
00:36:02.900
something and so i think we're at the at a at a crossroads and have been for several years uh where
00:36:10.740
those of us that don't want to uh walk into this have to actively build alternatives and if you don't
00:36:18.340
have you know uh a ton of people in your community uh doing that maybe you should reach out and build
00:36:24.260
awareness uh but if you have people that are aware of this around you um it's it's important to build
00:36:30.580
i would argue local resilient networks that don't depend on on this infrastructure there's still open
00:36:36.420
source alternatives to a lot of the um you know big tech platforms uh out there uh and i i still think
00:36:46.180
i'm still hopeful that there is time uh but you know ultimately at the end of the end of the day
00:36:52.100
you know if they're pushing us towards a post-human future i think at some point people will realize
00:36:57.220
uh that they don't want to lose what makes us human and so so much of what we're being pushed to use ai
00:37:02.580
for are things are creative pursuits that help define us as human right uh making art making music
00:37:11.060
writing um these are the things that we're being told to outsource uh to artificial intelligence
00:37:16.340
not necessarily the tedious stuff right so what's going to be left for us when we uh outsource of
00:37:22.340
this all to ai will we allow ourselves to be cognitive cognitively diminished to the point that
00:37:26.340
we can't even create anymore and then what kind of you know humans are we at that point so i think
00:37:32.020
it's very important to um encourage uh analog alternatives to that kind of stuff and to engage in
00:37:38.660
uh in creativity and uh there's a lot of opportunity for that especially for people that have uh
00:37:45.220
children you know children are very creative and we need to uh promote that to them instead of being
00:37:50.420
like here's a tablet learn how to scroll by the time you're three or four um and navigate the the
00:37:56.500
algorithms you know if we do nothing and we don't shift that cultural uh uh behavior or what's being
00:38:05.220
made you know common cultural behavior now then yeah it will be very problematic and so i think you
00:38:10.500
know it's a very important time right now for parents uh to make sure your kids are well and
00:38:16.020
anchored in in the real world and not just uh you know uh checked out to launch and trusting uh you know
00:38:23.700
potentially trusting algorithms more than you i mean there's these efforts to have domestic robots in
00:38:28.340
the house a lot of the ads show show you know young children develop developing emotional
00:38:34.020
relationships with these robots saying i love you and all of this stuff it is that is not good
00:38:40.660
i absolutely agree uh and so you know just because you want to focus on yourself or x y and z is is no
00:38:47.700
excuse to have you know the emotional connection your child needs be built with a machine programmed by
00:38:53.380
who knows who i mean so many of these big tech figures also had relationships to jeffrey epstein a
00:38:59.940
pedophile do you want to trust those people uh to program stuff uh that's around your kids and and
00:39:06.020
talks to them and you know potentially manipulates them when you're not there so you know it's not
00:39:12.020
just what that too i mean that that is the idea of taking active responsibility for things in your life
00:39:16.980
and we need to do more of that and culturally americans have been the best at that for a very long time
00:39:22.580
but we there have been a lot of efforts to condition us out of that and a lot of it has been through
00:39:27.940
this um effort to cultivate the importance of comfort above all else and convenience you know the idea
00:39:33.540
of rugged individualism in the u.s uh unfortunately has been uh you know greatly reduced and i think
00:39:40.660
it's important for us to take active responsibility because you know the the pull of ai is to get is
00:39:46.980
is for is uh for us to be passive and do nothing and just let it wash over us and uh oh you don't
00:39:55.140
have to do that anymore ai can do that and ai can do this for you and and this and that um and if we're
00:40:00.500
not uh focused on uh the things that we like to create and that we like to do um and uh active you
00:40:08.100
know we will recede and that is how the post-human future will happen there is still a lot of time for
00:40:13.460
agency um but people just need to be really aware of what's going on and determined to to change it
00:40:20.500
is there anything to i mean do you use the ai at all for anything nothing you're completely off
00:40:32.100
no i'm i'm uninterested in using it i mean i didn't i mean it wasn't always around you know i'm
00:40:37.380
i'm 35 now and you know when i was in university there was no ai i learned how to write and
00:40:43.300
do what i do now without it so why would i need it especially when i'm aware that you know
00:40:47.780
the whole idea if you don't use it you lose it so i stop uh you know let's say for example a person
00:40:54.100
who does work similar to me uh stops researching has ai do their research for them well they'll
00:40:59.140
come back in a year or two and be like wow i kind of forgot how to do this i don't remember how to do
00:41:03.780
it anymore it's gotten a lot harder for me right the same idea if you stop doing mental math because
00:41:09.060
you're constantly reliant on a calculator uh it gets harder uh that's the idea of cognitive
00:41:15.940
diminishment ray kurzweil called it ray kurzweil told me that uh no it'll just free your mind up to do
00:41:24.260
other bigger more important things and i didn't believe that's not happening yeah yeah i didn't
00:41:30.660
think it would we can already see that's yeah we can already see that's not uh that's not happening
00:41:36.180
okay so i i think people again need to take active control of not just their physical lives
00:41:43.220
as much as possible but their mental lives too and have to remember that you know uh even on big social
00:41:48.900
media platforms like uh x formerly twitter for example they've openly said that the ai grok is
00:41:54.740
going to be running the algorithms period uh come november you know so ai uh is is inescapable in
00:42:03.620
those types of environments and we have to remember that um we have to be aware that there is an effort
00:42:09.780
to influence us towards these policies um and a lot of people go on to social media assume it's uh you
00:42:17.460
know the new public square and you know free you know that it's better for free speech now and all of
00:42:22.660
that but aren't um aware that really every time you're going on these platforms it is a cognitive
00:42:28.260
battlefield uh and again this is why i really want to stretch that stretch uh sorry stress that
00:42:35.140
critical thinking has never been more important there's a reason they've tried to breed it out of
00:42:39.140
the school systems uh in the u.s and uh social media chat gpt the chat bots all of that are meant to
00:42:46.740
further eliminate that from us so it's never been uh more important to scrutinize uh things and and go
00:42:54.500
into these and digital environments uh realizing them for what they are um and some people get
00:43:00.980
benefits from them but some people uh don't necessarily anymore uh and there's been a lot
00:43:07.140
even studies that have been leaked from places like facebook where they've manipulated your
00:43:10.820
algorithms to depress you to make you feel feel very negative and feel despondent um and all of that
00:43:18.340
and yeah i mean if we give in to those kinds of emotions then we'll we'll just do nothing right
00:43:25.140
to change uh our situation and do nothing uh why we're at this crosswalk crossroads that we're at
00:43:31.220
that i mentioned earlier uh so there's an effort to emotionally manipulate us uh there as well with
00:43:36.820
you know they can determine what you see and they know you know you're well studied because of all the
00:43:41.540
data that has uh you have generated during your time in the digital environment and they can use
00:43:46.980
that to determine exactly what type of demographic you are exactly what uh you would need to see to
00:43:52.420
shift your viewpoint from viewpoint a to viewpoint b um and uh you know the type of manipulations they
00:43:58.900
can do um you know they can do at a tremendous scale now with ai and we also have to keep in mind
00:44:04.900
that during the obama administration they lifted the ban on the use of propaganda on the domestic
00:44:10.340
american population that had been in place for many decades and a lot of people unfortunately uh forget that
00:44:17.620
i was just talking to a senator the other day and saying why haven't you why haven't you stood
00:44:21.460
up and said and he said i have but nobody wants to listen that that needs to be repealed that needs
00:44:26.260
to be changed back to the way it originally was it's it's insane um uh look can we talk about
00:44:38.340
um with all of the flaws of donald trump it is he is at least appears to be the only one that is fighting
00:44:52.180
for uh the country or his country i i see some of these others that i think the the head of hung hungary is
00:45:04.260
doing the same but you see these prime ministers and these presidents everywhere and they are so
00:45:13.380
disconnected from the people and they're all for this global thing where everybody is like no i like
00:45:21.380
my flag i like being italian i like being english i like being american i like being canadian
00:45:28.900
and yet that's all being erased and it's all happening in the same language at the same time
00:45:37.860
in their political systems we're passing the same laws we're doing the same things and yet
00:45:44.100
we're each of us convinced it's only our country because we have this politician we got to get this
00:45:49.780
politician how do you break through to people to say look dummy look past the borders look past
00:45:57.540
our politician like or dislike doesn't matter look past them it's happening everywhere this is a global
00:46:08.500
yeah i would probably start with pointing out that for example in our congress it's not like
00:46:14.340
the congressmen themselves write all of the legislation that they pass right a lot of that
00:46:19.540
comes pre-written from think tanks and a lot of those think tanks have certain things in common
00:46:25.060
they share a lot of the same uh oligarch connections for example so the world economic
00:46:30.100
forum arguably is one such think tank um another one would be the carnegie endowment for example that
00:46:36.580
for a long time was dominated by the pritzker family bill burns biden cia director used to be the head
00:46:42.260
of that for example um they're another one that has a lot of influence uh that way uh csis which has
00:46:49.460
another i believe pritzker on the chairman uh as its chairman uh the one that was most tied up with
00:46:55.540
the epstein scandal uh is there and you know the pritzkers uh not to pick on them but they're just you
00:47:01.380
know one of these families that doesn't really get talked about very often instrumental in the rise of
00:47:05.860
barack obama in chicago along with the crown family uh for example uh but you know their family
00:47:12.020
has ties to organized crime going back to like the 30s or something like that so unfortunately a lot of
00:47:17.940
um these powerful figures have uh shady connections but a lot of money and have rebranded as
00:47:24.500
philanthropists and in doing so have allow uh you know have gotten these uh trustee or influential
00:47:31.540
roles at these think tanks which then uh you know fund you know various fellows and other uh people
00:47:38.820
that write the actual legislation that ends up in the hand of your congressman right and the congressman
00:47:44.420
has told by the different lobby groups um you know this legislation is uh you know covers these
00:47:50.580
topics and and here you go you know and i mean i think it's only a few uh people in in our legislature
00:47:58.340
like uh you know maybe ran paul or a thomas massey who will point out and be like i just got this
00:48:03.620
legislation on my decks desk uh and i have to vote on it in 48 hours and it's you know a couple thousand
00:48:09.780
pages right have any congressmen how many congressmen have actually read this whole thing
00:48:16.420
you know and so i tend right yeah and i tend to think that this is a very common it appears to be
00:48:23.700
common in other countries uh around the world and so you would have um you know a lot of these think
00:48:29.940
tanks that we know in the us some of them have subsidiaries and other countries like latin america
00:48:34.820
or asia where have you um and so that's how you get you know i think the most uh uh easiest example
00:48:42.340
would be you know in the covet era how a lot of the a lot of countries regardless of what they had
00:48:47.060
whether they had leaders on the left or the right um adopted a lot of the same legislation and policies
00:48:52.740
in a very very very uh short period of time but also if you look at europe for example and the idea
00:48:58.420
uh the the policies and ideas that have led to the current uh you know uh immigration crisis there um
00:49:05.540
you know it was coming from left and from right the legislation was coming from certain think tanks
00:49:10.900
um and i think people need to look at these other layers of power that are behind uh the politician
00:49:17.460
there's the the the think tanks and there's also the people that fund those think tanks and a lot of
00:49:22.660
those a lot of that money also directly funds campaigns of of politicians right and um i think
00:49:31.300
unfortunately a lot of the media uh and for a long time obviously mainstream media um you know doesn't
00:49:37.380
really look at those connections arguably because a lot of those a lot of that same money influences
00:49:42.340
the corporations that own them right yeah back with whitney in just a second first if you wake
00:49:50.500
up every morning wondering how pain is going to affect your day michael from connecticut used to
00:49:54.980
not anymore let me tell you his relief factor story uh michael was dealing with elbow pain which was
00:50:01.540
you know everything he used his hand in our in his arm for it made it really really hard to do
00:50:06.500
anything he tried to work until um he just couldn't anymore and then he tried relief factor nothing
00:50:12.740
worked until relief factor and then he started working again he said my elbow pain went away
00:50:18.020
uh and on top of that he said i have more energy if you're living with aches and pain see how relief
00:50:22.820
factor a daily drug-free supplement can help you feel better and live better join the over one
00:50:27.220
million people who have turned to relief factor just like michael call now try the three-week quick
00:50:31.940
start it's 19.95 less than a dollar a day don't let pain keep you from living every day that you want
00:50:36.820
it's relieffactor.com 800-4-relief 800 the number four relief relieffactor.com
00:50:41.940
is there i mean i've been looking at south korea since charlie kirk died um i was asked to take on
00:50:51.300
a couple of things that he was doing and one of them was south korea and i had no idea what was going
00:50:56.980
on in south korea i mean i i knew somewhat but i knew that there was a president that uh was an awful
00:51:03.780
lot like donald trump was you know fighting against a lot of the literal chinese communists that had
00:51:11.140
infiltrated his country and they they did all kinds of stuff a lot of the stuff they did to
00:51:16.340
donald trump but he was backed into a corner and made a huge mistake and he went authoritarian and
00:51:22.820
he's like i'm suspending because i don't believe any of you guys you're all you're all part of this
00:51:28.900
i'm suspending the legislature and declared martial law until it could be sorted out well the people
00:51:34.980
rightfully went what they revolted they threw him out he was impeached uh by the i think by the end of
00:51:42.420
the day he was out um but that swung everything towards the revolutionaries on the other side
00:51:51.860
uh and you know they're they've opened their border to china to north korea letting people just
00:51:57.220
just just flow in um and they are now starting to persecute anybody who had a conservative point
00:52:04.420
of view anybody that was involved you know from five years ago with this president uh or voted that
00:52:10.900
way and now churches and pastors are going to prison and it is really frightening to watch this and i've
00:52:21.940
been watching it and i thought wow i think this is the playbook here for america and any of these
00:52:30.180
people like donald trump that you know they say well they have you know tendencies towards
00:52:36.100
authoritarianism maybe he does maybe he doesn't and i'm the i'll be the first to stand up if you
00:52:41.300
start breaking the constitution but i'm i'm watching what's happening for instance in chicago
00:52:46.500
and i'm thinking okay if i'm the average person i'm like well something has to be done and that's
00:52:53.620
your first mistake when something has to be done and it doesn't you don't follow it with something
00:52:59.140
constitutional must be done you you find you find yourself in a whole different ball game we're entering
00:53:07.860
a time where the left is causing so much chaos on the streets they are i mean they it has
00:53:16.180
something has to be done you know what i mean and then you have because of that you have this
00:53:22.180
growing feeling on the right saying yeah i know something has to be done and it just has to stop
00:53:30.020
that's where south korea ended and i fear that if we're not really super careful that's where we're
00:53:38.020
going to end and that's by design does that make sense or is that just crazy talk um yeah i don't
00:53:46.020
think it's crazy but what it does remind me of is something that happened several decades ago mainly
00:53:50.260
in europe that was called operation gladio i don't know if you're familiar but it basically involved
00:53:55.380
intelligence agencies uh organized crime and elements of the vatican um funding uh terror attacks
00:54:03.300
against civilians um and they were framed in that particular case as being terrorist attacks from the
00:54:10.660
left but the ultimate goal uh was to create so much terror that people would give up their liberty
00:54:17.140
for feeling of security feeling it was safe to take the bus again that it was safe um to live a semblance
00:54:25.460
of a normal life and it's sort of similar to what happened during covid people would give up so much
00:54:30.500
right take um the injections get the vaccine passport just to have a semblance of a normal life right but
00:54:37.460
this is a the same way to do that but with violence um and who ultimately wins at the end of of the day
00:54:43.940
i think is what we should be asking here and we need to keep in mind too that particularly in the united
00:54:48.900
states every president since september 11th has opted to expand um the so-called war on domestic terror
00:54:57.620
and uh you know you'll have a democrat president in and they'll weaponize it against the right and vice
00:55:04.500
versa and we have and but either way the more it grows the more it endangers our constitutional rights
00:55:11.940
and so i think it's very important um to uh again be extra vigilant um about that because ultimately
00:55:20.740
what they want what what the powers that be uh want is that same hegelian dialectic of problem
00:55:27.060
reaction solution they want to solicit that reaction art which has us consent to the solution
00:55:34.500
that they wanted to implement anyway and so i fear that because of the increased power of an entity
00:55:40.820
like palantir in the u.s government now that the the next shoe to drop will there will be a huge push
00:55:47.380
uh for pre-crime predictive policing as discussed earlier and uh trump nearly fell for that trap in
00:55:55.620
2019 when there was a spate of mass shootings so william barr who was an attorney general
00:56:00.660
uh it got barely any media coverage but he created the uh the legal infrastructure for
00:56:07.860
pre-crime in the united states through a program called deep um and then after that uh explain this
00:56:14.260
explain what for anybody who doesn't know what that is explain it a deep as an acronym i forget exactly
00:56:20.980
what it stands for but it's like deterring it's something about deterrence
00:56:25.620
early through early detection or something like that uh but basically the legal infrastructure
00:56:31.060
set up by bill bar there was that you could ostensibly um arrest someone before they committed
00:56:36.980
a crime preemptively and there have been only a handful of arrests through deep via my understanding
00:56:42.980
but because it's there anything could happen that could make it uh be deployed at scale and so that
00:56:49.300
was particularly concerning at the time because after that uh because of the outrage about the
00:56:55.060
spate of shootings at the time that i think began with the el paso walmart shooting of that year um
00:57:01.620
trump said that social media platforms need to develop tools uh where uh they look at what users are
00:57:08.820
saying and uh determine who will be a shooter before they can commit an act of violence i'm paraphrasing
00:57:15.060
paraphrasing there um and then uh his uh administration was considering but did not implement
00:57:22.180
um a uh health focused version of of the pentagon's darpa they were calling it harpa and that the pilot
00:57:30.340
program of uh the proposed harpa would be an another acronym and i'm sorry that i don't remember what it
00:57:36.340
stands for but it's quite long it's called safe homes and uh the biggest uh lobbyists of this to the
00:57:42.820
the president at the time were jared kushner and his daughter uh ivanka um and basically what that
00:57:48.020
program proposed was for an ai and to go over all of american social media posts and determine what
00:57:55.220
they called early warning uh early warning signs of neuropsychiatric violence and if that and if a
00:58:02.580
user's profile was flagged all sorts of things could be triaged from that including uh you know court
00:58:09.300
ordered physician appointments and all sorts of things that sound terrible uh trump according to
00:58:16.180
the washington post liked the idea but he ultimately didn't pass it so you can take the post reporting
00:58:23.060
however you want i guess but what did happen the bide administration did create harpa but they created
00:58:29.140
it under another name they called it arpa h and they framed it as uh this is how we're going to cure cancer
00:58:35.940
but a lot of the same uh programs are still there the same architects of that harpa proposed to trump
00:58:43.220
for those purposes in 2019 were also involved in the creation of arpa h which has been pushing for uh
00:58:50.980
you know uh people to wear wearables for example which are you know you could theoretically use a
00:58:57.460
surveillance devices but you wear them on your body right um and they might you know palantir runs a lot of
00:59:05.620
that same data as well and if they were ever to combine and in the silo between healthcare and
00:59:12.820
law enforcement since they contract to both there is a potential for very very um you know orwellian
00:59:19.860
terrifying stuff when it comes to predictive policing and predictive analytics uh so you know i it it again
00:59:28.740
depends on who is around the president and how much he listens to them uh but i think it's uh since that
00:59:34.660
happened in 2019 you know there was an attempt to get him to implement that program then and if there
00:59:41.140
is a big enough um event again uh that could lead to huge calls to do something um you know we could
00:59:50.900
see that be marketed as the quote unquote solution and who wins there well the big tech oligarchs that
00:59:57.060
control all of the infrastructure that would be behind pre-crime and the ai algorithms and what's troubling
01:00:03.540
too about the war on domestic terror um is that the definition for it the government's definition for
01:00:09.540
it across them and uh administrations is incredibly incredibly vague so one example is that you can be
01:00:16.100
defined a domestic terrorist if you feel like you have to um uh stand up against government perceived
01:00:23.380
government overreach is the term so that could very easily be anyone on either side of the political
01:00:30.020
isle yeah so um again when we see when we want to suspend the civil liberties and constitutional rights
01:00:37.620
for just one segment of the population because we're told it's necessary so that we can feel safer
01:00:44.660
what ultimately happens historically is that those rights go away for everybody except the people
01:00:51.140
at the very very very top that are controlling these systems for anybody who doesn't know what palantir is
01:00:56.820
who's running it why it's so dangerous will you take us down that road uh sure i would be happy to
01:01:06.820
so um my work on palantir argues that it was an effort to privatize this program that was pushed on
01:01:13.140
the public after 9 11 that was called total information awareness that was also housed in the pentagon's
01:01:18.500
darpa um there was a huge outcry about this program at the time because it was uh i would argue rightly
01:01:26.420
described as uh eliminating uh the constitutional right to privacy because everyone's data was being
01:01:33.540
sucked in and everyone's data was being spied on and the ultimate goal of tia total information
01:01:39.300
awareness was to have a pre-crime system in the united states that would stop they said at first
01:01:46.820
terrorist attacks before they could happen but they're not just looking at terrorists they were looking at
01:01:51.460
everybody so obviously it was moving towards uh predicting crime before it happens and it also
01:01:56.580
had a health component where they said they would uh hopefully predict uh bioterror attacks before
01:02:03.060
they happen this is again during the anthrax uh the aftermath of the anthrax attacks of 2001
01:02:08.660
but also that they would predict pandemics before they happen and a lot of that uh renewed interest in
01:02:14.340
that you could say uh occurred during the covet era right and so as this program was getting into
01:02:20.820
trouble and they tried to change their name and tried to do all these things to keep congress from
01:02:25.460
defunding them uh palantir uh was incorporated uh by peter teal and peter teal and alex carp who were
01:02:32.900
two of the palantir co-founders uh talked to richard pearl who put them in touch with the person who was
01:02:38.100
running total information awareness and they basically said uh you know they viewed him as a
01:02:44.500
point john poindexter was his name they viewed him as the godfather of modern surveillance and they
01:02:50.020
wanted to essentially recreate what he was doing but they did so as an entirely private entity and in
01:02:56.740
doing so because the government wasn't directly involved a lot of the outcry just dissipated and the
01:03:03.140
earliest funders of palantir um were uh teal himself but also the cia's inqtel and the cia
01:03:11.300
was palantir's first client uh and was their only client i believe for their first five or six years
01:03:17.460
as um a company alex corpus said the cia was always the intended client of palantir you had palantir
01:03:25.220
engineers going to cia headquarters every two weeks having them uh tweak their product uh it appears to be
01:03:31.780
i would argue a cia front company and the cia particularly its chief information officer at
01:03:37.940
the time a fellow named alan wade had also been one of the biggest cheerleaders of total information
01:03:44.020
awareness and he was also um apparently a business partner of galene maxwell sister christine maxwell
01:03:50.980
they tried to make a homeland security software program together um called killiad which is uh
01:03:58.180
uh you know worthy of scrutiny as well and i have uh some writing about that or some more information
01:04:04.580
about that in my in my book well basically that uh there was the scandal in the 80s um that involved
01:04:11.140
robert maxwell her father called the promise software scandal and it was where the cia and also
01:04:17.140
israeli intelligence put back doors into um this software program that was marketed to countries and to
01:04:24.180
corporations and banks throughout the world and christine maxwell had actually been directly
01:04:29.780
involved with the front company that her father used to market that software and then actively
01:04:36.420
after his death in 1991 said that she and her sister her twin sister also galane's sister were trying to
01:04:43.540
rebuild their father's legacy and so they created this tech company that became one of the early search
01:04:51.540
engines but they developed a very close working relationship with bill gates and microsoft which
01:04:55.780
is probably how bill gates actually met jeffrey epstein many decades before they officially met and
01:05:02.580
there's other attestations to that as well but basically the software that she created with wade
01:05:08.740
killiad was a proto palantir and the promise software was actually very similar to palantir as well but
01:05:17.540
the software had been stolen from a fellow named bill hamilton and his company insula inc and so
01:05:24.020
they had been the hamiltons had been suing the u.s government to try and uh get payments restored to
01:05:31.780
them for the use of their uh software but it was stolen illicitly and so by turning it sort of laundering
01:05:38.820
it into these different um companies they were able to avoid ever paying the hamiltons any money for
01:05:44.420
the software that they essentially stole um and so anyway i don't want to get too um off the topic of
01:05:51.700
of palantir but you know these are the characters that essentially uh created it and it uh it labels
01:05:58.500
people as there's a label you can label someone as a subversive um in the palantir system um and it
01:06:05.060
collects essentially everything um about you and so currently it's being used to target and uh classify
01:06:12.180
uh immigrants for deportation but it has those same capabilities that could be used against
01:06:17.540
uh you know actual american citizens domestically if the war on domestic terror was ever to begin
01:06:23.620
in earnest um and so i find it an immensely concerning company particularly its interest in
01:06:30.500
predictive policing and pre-crime which it was one of the earliest uh piloters of uh of predictive
01:06:36.180
policing i believe they started in new orleans and there's also the fact that um you know the co-founder of
01:06:42.180
palantir peter thiel uh was just relatively dishonest i would argue about his meetings with jeffrey epstein
01:06:49.380
he was uh trying to get uh well he was involved in funding a company that also has pre-crime uh
01:06:55.540
pre-crime uh capabilities uh that was uh championed by ehud barack and epstein epstein put a lot of money
01:07:02.900
into it it's called carbine um and uh there were meeting newly released emails show that they were all
01:07:10.420
sort of talking to each other about teal investing directly in carbine and teal invested um you know
01:07:16.420
uh i think he was one of his venture capital uh firms received a significant amount of money from epstein
01:07:21.860
and he had not been uh very upfront about that um until you know relatively recently um so i think um
01:07:30.820
you know that company to carbine uh have it has creeped into a variety of uh uh counties across the
01:07:38.580
u.s taking over the 9-1-1 emergency call systems and if congress is to pass legislation uh that would
01:07:45.140
federalize the 9-1-1 system make it an all national system which there is a push to do um you know carbine
01:07:52.820
has been the top lobbying firm for that but they have a pre-crime component where if you um they
01:07:58.820
call it the c records component but you can't find it on their website anymore after um there were
01:08:04.100
reports on it um but essentially it would comb all of the data off of your smartphone and use it put it
01:08:10.500
into its pre-crime uh analytics to determine if you might be calling 9-1-1 again in the future or be
01:08:17.140
the reason 9-1-1 is called and that eventually streetlights uh in smart cities would call 9-1-1
01:08:24.740
for you on their own sometimes the most powerful innovations aren't about adding more stuff they're
01:08:32.020
about taking things away they're about creating less clutter less confusion less fiddling around
01:08:37.140
and that's exactly what audion did with the new adam x hearing aid instead of tiny little buttons and
01:08:44.100
frustrating apps or endless configuration screens they just put a simple touch screen right on the
01:08:49.380
charging case so you have your ears you put them in and you just tap and adjust and you hear it's

at it globally it's it's like i think it amazed me at first but now it's like oh yeah it's those guys
01:10:30.980
um you know what do you think the number is what do you think the number is that actually knows what
01:10:37.220
they're doing and is doing it at most i would say it's probably a couple hundred and then not probably
01:10:46.180
smaller than that but mm-hmm well you know especially with the technology they have today it's never been
01:10:52.180
easier for the few to control the many and they want to make it so that um you know the peasants
01:10:59.700
yeah uh the serfs can't uh you know fight against their rule anymore um and again that's why we have
01:11:07.540
to uh resist this as much as possible but i uh unfortunately think that to try and get us to consent
01:11:14.260
because again they need our consent they will throw the kitchen sink at us to try and get us to consent
01:11:19.380
uh they they could make life very difficult they could i mean you know oh yeah use acts of of terror
01:11:27.140
like they did in in something like operation gladio to make people so afraid for their lives that they
01:11:32.740
will give up all of their liberties they did this is what the communist feels safer this is what the
01:11:38.100
communists did to take over i think it was hungry you know the the the nato thing was we'll have peace but
01:11:43.860
you can't go in unless invited you can't turn any countries uh into uh russian satellite countries
01:11:52.580
unless invited in and so they just went in and they they did pretty much what's happening now
01:11:59.380
you know and built the framework for it to fall in and then cause chaos in the streets they had tanks
01:12:04.900
parked right on the border and when the chaos got to a certain level their people inside the government of
01:12:11.620
hungary said we need help and russia rolled across and they were communist country overnight i mean it's
01:12:19.060
it's not it's not a hard thing to figure out they do it over and over again but i would argue too that
01:12:25.220
this is bigger than just national governments this is oh yeah people yeah i don't know what to call
01:12:32.500
them but oligarchs again it's a small number of people and they have their men as it were in every
01:12:38.820
government everywhere um i'll give you an example that i find particularly interesting so samuel pisar
01:12:45.860
uh remembered as a human rights lawyer maybe remembered better uh in the last administration
01:12:50.820
because he helped raise anthony blinken who was his stepson he was also a very close friend of of
01:12:56.820
robert maxwell he testified to congress in the early 70s and he talked about something called the rise of
01:13:05.060
the trans ideological corporation and he said that the western multinational corporations of uh yeah in
01:13:13.540
the west right um had started making all of these joint ventures with the state-owned communist companies
01:13:20.100
of russia and of china and that what was happening is that they were basically creating a global
01:13:25.300
government of economic power that was making the nation state entirely irrelevant this is in the early 1970s
01:13:32.740
and a congressman i forget who it was uh asked pisar is this a bad thing and pisar was like not
01:13:39.620
necessarily yeah and at the same time his pal robert maxwell was making all of these connections uh
01:13:47.860
to entities like the kgb uh to israeli national security agencies in the uk also in the us across the board
01:13:57.220
uh and giving them this backdoored software while also trying to tie together a bunch of organized
01:14:02.900
crime families across the world starting with the yakuza in japan to simian mogulovich and uh you know
01:14:10.580
soviet air in the soviet union and to mob bosses in the united states i mean it i i don't mean to laugh but
01:14:18.260
it's just truly astounding and this was going i mean this was the 70s and he just brazenly admitted it to congress
01:14:23.940
well carol quigley he said one of the do you remember in the 60s carol quigley he did the same thing
01:14:29.540
they made him a pariah for a few years but he was like proud of it no we're gonna end war we're gonna
01:14:34.980
just tie everything together financially and then you know you'll have these police actions and
01:14:41.060
the world changed exactly the way he said it was going to change i mean they're they're proud of it
01:14:46.420
they want to tell you they're proud of what they do
01:14:49.140
yeah i think he in particular quickly was talking about uh this being affected by the
01:14:55.620
so-called round table groups like the council on foreign relations the trilateral commission
01:15:00.980
of which keir starmer is a is a member if i'm not mistaken um and uh yeah again these these think
01:15:08.340
tanks are very powerful i think actually as it relates to the cfr there's a video of hillary clinton
01:15:12.820
uh calling it the mothership when she was secretary of state wow where uh where where her where the
01:15:20.420
foreign policy directives really come from something to that effect is it possible to break this without
01:15:27.380
breaking society is it possible to break and stop this so i think it is but i think also that people
01:15:37.940
have to realize that to untangle these powerful interests from our lives and from our world uh
01:15:46.980
they won't go down easily but they will go down more easily if more of us act and more of us also
01:15:53.700
know and understand that they in a lot of cases there are efforts to try and make us
01:16:00.580
resort to violence yes that's what they want and i think um in the last administration it should have
01:16:06.260
been very obvious to conservatives that there was an effort to go to them towards violence um and
01:16:10.900
i think that will ping pong from left to right it will go and you know it it they want to just get
01:16:17.540
people that want to fight against this on both sides and they want to demonize them uh so that they
01:16:22.740
can be sort of swept up in this war on on domestic terror so violence is absolutely not the answer but
01:16:29.060
what can we do i think it's important again uh what we have to focus on what we can actually control
01:16:35.940
you know overnight we can't um you know a person like me can't dismantle uh the wef or the cfr or
01:16:42.660
any of these things but what can i do what can i actually control right um and so i can control um
01:16:49.860
you know where i uh how i live my life how i raise my children uh whether i'm dependent on uh the
01:16:57.460
infrastructure of people that i know are bad whether that's the power grid or how i use social media or any
01:17:04.020
of these other things you know people need to take stock of of their life and what they can control
01:17:08.820
but ultimately what it comes down to also and i think one of the most important uh points i have
01:17:14.020
to convey today um is that they want our consent so badly and they need it uh for this to work and
01:17:21.860
that includes why do they need and a lot of why do they i think it comes down to a a user base
01:17:28.100
um so for example if there's a cbdc or a stable coin launched by a government somewhere and no one uses
01:17:35.940
it it fails if digital d id is a linchpin to all of this stuff and no one uses it it fails
01:17:45.860
and i think they just don't think that we they think uh they can use uh you know a carrot you know
01:17:52.740
in the carrot and stick analogy to lure us in and then once we are in outcomes the stick and um i
01:18:01.620
think a lot of this if it's not through uh you know fear which is you know the go-to way to control
01:18:08.660
people whether it's the covid type of fear or you know the domestic terror uh type of fear you know
01:18:14.900
that's one way but also money our money is a key way uh to try and attacking people's wealth and wealth
01:18:22.020
transfers uh because people that are more likely to go into these digital prisons uh they will be
01:18:28.180
desperate and so you want uh desperate people also don't think rationally and so at a certain point
01:18:34.660
uh you worry about your survival and you uh stop worrying about you know maybe your civil liberties or
01:18:40.500
maybe even the constitution and the hierarchy of needs yeah and so i think how do we protect ourselves
01:18:48.340
and insulate ourselves and our communities from events that would that are leading us towards that
01:18:52.980
reaction and the problem reaction solution paradigm can i ask you where do we where do we stand on um
01:19:06.900
i mean i see things i see things that are being developed for the pentagon and for china that are
01:19:15.380
terrifying i don't think people understand war it it's going to be as if you fought in the spanish
01:19:23.460
american war and all of a sudden you were transported to you know uh world war ii um nothing is going to be
01:19:33.700
the same everything that we have is going to be outdated every i mean the killing that is possible in the
01:19:41.460
very near future with ai is breathtaking am i wrong on this please say yes no i don't think you're i
01:19:52.100
don't think you're wrong on that uh i think it is incredibly deeply unsettling um it allows uh not
01:19:58.260
just war but war crimes to be committed at scale with minimal human involvement and uh yeah if hitler had
01:20:05.380
just the technology just if hitler had the technology just that we know of today there wouldn't be a jew on
01:20:11.700
on the planet there wouldn't be one i mean you can track people you can hunt them down you can grab them
01:20:18.100
you can you can convince them to do i mean the the power so yeah tell me where we are with ai on
01:20:28.420
on china and our race towards it and all of this stuff i i don't see us building all these power
01:20:35.940
plants i've i've talked to the president about hey we're going to build all these nuclear power
01:20:41.540
plants well you better hurry because if you're actually fighting that war we're not going to have
01:20:48.740
the power to run these places so where are we on all of this
01:20:53.540
well i guess there's a couple different ways um to to go here um and i'm not really sure the
01:21:02.900
best place to start but i guess um what i think of in in you asking that question is um there was
01:21:10.820
this national security commission uh called the national security commission on ai eric schmidt
01:21:16.660
unsurprisingly um let it and yeah he uh and he um basically some in some of the documentation that
01:21:25.620
came out of uh of of that commission via foyer request uh showed that they felt that the only way
01:21:32.340
for the u.s to catch up to china and i'm paired this is my opinion um was essentially to become china
01:21:38.980
right in the name of beating china we have to do all the things um god that sounds like a very
01:21:44.420
very bit criticized yeah about china so the idea was in china they use ai for everything ai has crept
01:21:51.860
into every um facet of a person's life in a chinese mega city and so um we need to make americans
01:22:01.300
use ai just as much if not more in order to leapfrog chinese ai capabilities so what did they
01:22:09.860
suggest and this is right before covid by the way they suggested an end to in-person shopping and an
01:22:15.460
end to in-person doctor visits um an end of uh car ownership that we should only use fleets of self
01:22:24.260
driving ubers that we rent um and you know basically live through our phones and live through apps uh that
01:22:32.020
are powered by ai because uh they argue china has a larger population it has a user base that is
01:22:39.780
feeding chinese ai uh with so much more data than americans are feeding american ai uh so we have to
01:22:48.100
harvest more data from americans faster um in order to catch up so um at the at the same time too you
01:23:00.900
have a lot of big tech oligarchs that have a lot of ties to china and chinese industry um and chinese
01:23:07.860
tech companies that run those things in china um and you know i would argue you know is the ai uh arms
01:23:16.500
race all the fear ginned up about it just to sort of get us to acquiesce to that same type of system
01:23:21.860
here and sometimes yeah i that's what it sometimes seems like to me an amazing final segment uh with
01:23:33.140
whitney here in just a second first let me tell you about moxie the seasons are changing the air is
01:23:38.900
getting cooler days are getting shorter and while you're switching out the wardrobe or putting on an
01:23:43.220
extra blanket on the bed something else is happening something you don't know until you already until
01:23:48.740
they're already inside and that is uh the through the leaves and the crawl spaces and and everything
01:23:55.700
else pests are coming in ants the silverfish all of them looking for the same thing you're looking for
01:24:01.300
a warm place to hide out for the winter so unless you've made it clear they're not welcome that place
01:24:05.700
might be your house moxie moxie pest control they know exactly how this plays out they've been through
01:24:11.460
it a thousand times they don't just show up and spray something around your house they plan they
01:24:15.300
strategize they build a perimeter and they protect what's yours from everything that isn't yours this
01:24:21.060
isn't just about bugs it's about the line between what's out there and what belongs inside of your
01:24:25.700
home the seasons may change but your peace of mind doesn't have to celebrate 25 years in business now
01:24:30.740

01:24:35.780
slash beck use the promo code beck and get it first service 25 dollars
01:24:42.260
well it is always fascinating to talk to you can we talk about jeffrey epstein for just a second
01:24:46.740
um because you are the foremost expert on that whole web um oh well thank you well you are um
01:24:56.580
i mean like i i was thinking about it today when we were getting ready to do the interview i'm
01:25:00.100
thinking i don't there's nobody that knows more about it than you do you think well you know i would
01:25:07.140
say my expertise in my book you know about epstein only really goes up to um his first arrest and so
01:25:13.780
i don't really consider myself an expert on all the litigation all of that and all the civil cases
01:25:19.060
between his accusers um and a lot of the court stuff and also i feel like there's plenty of
01:25:24.740
other journalists that have covered um victim testimonies and what victims have said um and so
01:25:30.820
you know i don't consider myself jeffrey epstein and where he came from what he was yeah there's nobody
01:25:38.100
better than you um thank you so is there a is there a black book
01:25:48.340
so i would say first of all there is a black book that has been published it was published by gawker
01:25:54.260
in 2015 it was obtained by journalist nick bryant um and that is the black book we have um there is
01:26:02.100
obviously documentation and documents that the u.s government still has that it has very openly over
01:26:09.300
the past several months uh made various excuses for about why it will not release them um what do they
01:26:15.540
contain do you know uh no i don't okay um but i can i can guess about some things so but there are
01:26:23.380
also a few questions that they could just answer that don't necessarily involve document releasing
01:26:28.580
like why was zorro ranch never raided it's one of it's in the continental u.s it's an epstein property
01:26:35.140
the new york townhouse was town raided why were there not simultaneous raids on all of his
01:26:39.460
properties on u.s territory what do you let's not coordinate that uh well i don't know i mean zorro ranch
01:26:45.780
there's a lot of um that's new mexico right spec in the new mexico property there's a lot of
01:26:50.900
speculation about what happened there uh with women in particular um and uh why was it never raided
01:26:57.940
i just find that uh incredibly strange and also you know there's attestations during the 2019
01:27:04.660
uh raid on the new york townhouse uh that there were binders of cds um and i remember that you know
01:27:11.060
hard drives you know what what was the content i mean pam bondy has now more recently after saying
01:27:16.980
she was going to release them turned around and said that they're all cp um i don't necessarily know
01:27:22.580
if that's true what's cp but again a child porn okay okay all right yeah fine prefer these yeah
01:27:29.860
sorry yeah that's all right yeah um but there's all sorts of um things that that could actually
01:27:35.780
be again we don't know um again i as i've said for a long time i think the jeffrey epstein case
01:27:42.740
is a bipartisan issue um there's a lot of powerful people that went to him and it wasn't exclusively
01:27:49.140
uh for sexual deviancy there uh i i've argued for a long time that epstein was involved in
01:27:54.740
financial criminality uh money laundering uh tax evasion and it seems that there are a lot of very
01:28:00.980
powerful uh oligarch figures and many of them very powerful big tech figures whose money he was uh
01:28:08.660
managing um and one one example of that that came downwind of the usvi uh case against uh you know jp
01:28:16.260
morgan uh was sergey brin in particular the google co-founder um and a lot of uh but those cases were
01:28:23.220
settled um the son of a judge was murdered when she was overseeing the deutsche bank uh epstein case i
01:28:30.260
think there's a major interest in not having those financial um relationships fully untangled um and i
01:28:39.300
think um you know because of how interwoven um these these networks are um you know it's it's uh not
01:28:49.060
politically uh salient for uh the trump administration to release them all for whatever reason um can i can
01:28:59.460
i ask you a question i don't know how do you how do you decipher between an actual conspiracy
01:29:08.980
and i mean one that's been driving me crazy is that charlie kirk was shot in the back
01:29:14.100
by a massad agent who used a hatch and that was in the grass right behind him and shot him from behind
01:29:20.340
i mean just crazy stuff how do you when you're looking at something how do you go about going
01:29:28.980
ah that's worth looking into that's not well i think at this point for me it's it's uh intuition
01:29:36.980
and also the fact that a lot of my work is historical so i look back many decades and so if i get inkling of
01:29:44.020
something suspect happening now and the the parties involved happen to be directly connected to people
01:29:49.460
that i know engaged in wrongdoing and crime in the past then i i tend to be more inclined because
01:29:54.980
there's a there are patterns and a lot of these people repeat the same tactics and the same patterns
01:30:01.060
of criminality over and over again uh but i think also um yeah there was a deliberate effort to try and
01:30:08.660
undermine the reporting on real conspiracies by muddying the waters and flooding it with crap yeah it was
01:30:15.140
it was a cia operative one that said discredit people by calling them conspiracy theorists
01:30:22.340
uh you after the canady assassination yes and so but in addition to that more recently uh samantha
01:30:28.260
powers husband cast sunstein uh wrote a a bizarre paper i forget exactly when i think it was in the obama
01:30:36.580
era it was 2008 exactly what the quote is it said uh even something even if it turns out to be true
01:30:42.420
discredit um that was it was like it was your first go was to call it a conspiracy theory even if it
01:30:51.460
turns out later to be true it doesn't matter discredit discredit discredit yes but in addition to that
01:30:58.820
there was an there was something about infiltrating conspiracy movements that's right to push the needle
01:31:04.980
to a narrative that's what was more favorable uh to the powers that be so he as one example he said a
01:31:12.100
lot of conspiracy uh the conspiracy movement in the u.s at that time did not trust the government so how
01:31:19.140
do we make a conspiracy infiltrate conspiracy movements to make them trust the government and i
01:31:25.300
would argue that something like q anon likely was downwind of that wow i never thought of that but
01:31:31.700
but but there's very it's very possible um that that continues now uh i would argue it does especially
01:31:39.300
you know they know that a lot of this information about past conspiracies or even current ones you know
01:31:44.900
can't always be put back in the bottle but if you muddy the waters yeah flood the zone to use one of their
01:31:50.740
terms with things that are are dubious you know it becomes very hard for people uh to sift through the
01:31:57.300
content and then we're left doing what eric schmidt and henry kissinger propose relying on ai to sift
01:32:03.460
through all of that for us to tell us the right answer um so again critical thinking very important
01:32:12.020
um but i think you know because trust is it is at an all-time low um you know there's a it just
01:32:17.940
depends on the person uh i mean obviously there's a lot of people that uh um you know are terminally
01:32:25.380
online and sort of drift into places where they might think things are true that um i i you know
01:32:34.020
certain people would definitely not agree with um but again i think it just comes down to individual
01:32:39.940
discernment and critical thinking which are qualities that are not taught to people uh anymore in in
01:32:48.020
schools and uh you know it starts with with parents teaching that type of um discernment and for me
01:32:54.260
personally you know i i think history adds a lot of the necessary context to having that ability to
01:33:01.060
discern um and so i would you know urge people to look at um you know what these particular networks um
01:33:09.860
have done decade over decade you know what the reason my book is so long and is in two volumes is
01:33:15.940
because you know i thought that the repeated patterns by the repeated individuals that are all connected
01:33:21.060
together would show that obviously there is something wrong here uh maybe we won't get an
01:33:25.860
omission you know from bill gates and writing about his epstein relationship or you know from uh
01:33:32.580
intelligence agencies that they had connections to jeffrey epstein and affidavit it's very unlikely
01:33:38.020
we'll get those documents so what can we look at in uh in in you know the public record that's publicly available
01:33:45.060
and uh obviously i think you know my book shows that there's various instances the same individuals
01:33:52.420
repeating the same tactics um over and over again using a lot of the same institutions to do so um and
01:33:59.300
how you know the it just stacks so much that it becomes to me quite obvious that something is is very
01:34:06.660
wrong um with that particular network and when you have so many instances of financial crime arms
01:34:14.740
trafficking sex trafficking concentrated with such a in such a small group of people many of whom have
01:34:21.540
ties to the organized crime uh gangs from you know america's not so distant past um you know
01:34:29.620
to me it looks like that a lot of those people rebranded and basically the main thesis of my book is
01:34:34.340
that those organized crime interests got in bed with our intelligence agencies um and some of those
01:34:40.660
organized crime figures rebranded as philanthropists or other things um but ultimately um you know it's
01:34:49.140
what that that entity that fused entity ultimately wants is an authoritarian uh government and we have
01:34:57.940
to uh fight against that despite you know all the things that they could throw on us and all the
01:35:03.380
manipulations um that they may target us with um which again i think over the net over the short term
01:35:11.380
it's going to be more than we've probably ever seen uh before but people have to be very steadfast in uh
01:35:18.180
how much the constitution matters to them yeah the constitutional rights are for every american not
01:35:23.380
just the american that we happen to agree with yes and i think who benefits the most if we
01:35:29.540
start hating our neighbor and want to kill them you know um so last question what keeps you up at night
01:35:39.140
what are you looking at the future over the horizon and going oh my gosh well there's more than a few
01:35:45.060
things i guess i would say right now but i'm i'm very concerned you know as as a parent you know
01:35:51.300
seeing a school uh kids that go to school with my children or that we just know or or seeing other
01:36:00.420
kids uh of other people online just how sucked into um technology they are in some and some of them how
01:36:08.420
much they identify with the technology more than the real world that worries me greatly especially
01:36:14.500
considering that we saw this push a few years ago um for the the so-called uh metaverse as it were um
01:36:22.260
and getting people to want to live in a virtual uh reality um and actually this political philosopher
01:36:30.500
who's very close to to peter thiel um curtis yarvin he has this quote about what should be done with
01:36:38.100
the undesirables of society he calls it a humane alternative to genocide and it sounds just like
01:36:43.460
something klaus schwab would say it was basically you know the best i have the quote i could read it
01:36:49.060
to you it's on my desk but it's probably like uh yuval harari's quote it it truly is but this is
01:36:57.460
somehow someone that is popular uh in certain right-leaning circles in the u.s right now um but i
01:37:04.500
what's his name yes i gotta look him up uh curtis yarvin okay he said the best humane alternative to
01:37:11.060
genocide i can think of is not to liquidate the wards meaning people either metaphorically or
01:37:17.460
literally but to virtualize them a virtualized human is in permanent solitary confinement waxed
01:37:23.460
like a bee larva into a cell which is sealed except for emergencies oh my god this would drive him
01:37:29.300
insane except that the cell contains an immersive virtual reality interface which allows him to
01:37:35.300
experience a rich fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world it is the matrix it's the matrix
01:37:44.260
and i think i just worry about how i i know i see parents that are my age that probably shouldn't
01:37:52.420
be parents at all that just pass you know tablets or phones to their kids and just want to focus on
01:37:57.620
their own stuff or their own screens and don't parent and we are and those people are inadvertently
01:38:02.580
socially engineering their children to live in that kind of reality if they are deemed undesirable
01:38:09.460
or you know part of this underclass that ai is going to act upon um and that's what really
01:38:16.820
unsettles me uh because i think a lot of this um if they can't do it um you know now they'll absolutely
01:38:24.100
try and future generations and if we don't prepare them for this and prepare them to live and stand up
01:38:29.780
for the real world and to stand up for what it means to be human if they forget if they never learn
01:38:34.580
yeah uh you know what it means we could then yeah i think we could lose it and so you know i think uh
01:38:41.380
there's never been a more important time uh to to be a good parent wow uh than right now good for you
