00:03:48.260I want to take you through a story here that takes you from the early 20th century with a guy out in a field all the way to where we are today.
00:03:57.000Back in the early 20th century, one American found himself alone on a battlefield.
00:04:08.920Not one of bullets and bombs, but a battle of wits and innovation and stamina.
00:04:15.180The battle that would determine the fate of an industry and all of our lives individually.
00:04:24.640Our protagonist, born to humble beginnings in a log cabin of all places.
00:10:26.360Invented in 1933, but the greed of a capitalist named Sarnoff let that thing sit in a vault until they had sold all the AM radios they could possibly do.
00:10:40.180And then the invention of television came and made radio less and less important.
00:10:47.960And he had to finally, in the 1960s, pull it out of the vault.
00:10:52.300And it wasn't until the 1970s that FM radio came.
00:11:16.060He knew that not only could we use a phone like we used to use an AT&T phone, but it would also allow us to access all kinds of media at the time when he thought of television.
00:11:31.640We could have television on our phones.
00:11:35.000Lots of things had to happen in between.
00:11:41.5603G and 4G networks that we know today.
00:11:45.420That's really what's made this possible.
00:11:49.600And then Apple in 2007 with a smartphone.
00:12:24.340And in 2011, we launched something called Blaze TV.
00:12:34.040At the time, traditional cable networks were still the dominant force in news and entertainment.
00:12:39.660And I remember sitting in my office looking at my news team and Stu, my executive producer, and I said, this is all going to come collapsing down around them.
00:12:49.940And we embraced the power of the internet.
00:12:56.100And we embraced the power of an audience.
00:12:58.800And we passed, bypassed, the gatekeepers of television.
00:13:06.900And we made the Blaze an independent place for the voice to be heard.
00:13:16.420It was a place to connect and hear the truth.
00:13:19.660Engage in thoughtful discussions about the issues that matter most.
00:13:23.740And because of our success, others followed in our footsteps.
00:13:28.180And a new wave of independent media organizations emerged and leveraged the power of the internet to create alternative sources for information and entertainment.
00:13:38.960And we all strive, and we all have thrived, on the principles of honesty and integrity and intellectual curiosity.
00:13:48.520Something that is all but dead in the mainstream media.
00:13:58.160All of this stuff always comes crashing down.
00:14:01.560And it always seems tragic to those who are trying to hang on to the past.
00:19:47.360Well, and so he changed it, too, I mean, on his own, kind of went in there and just did it kind of a different way than they were expecting, and that changed the history of it.
00:19:56.560My daughter, she was working at a grocery store when she was younger, and working at a grocery store, and she said this old man kind of came up to her, and he's like, I'm sorry, I don't have my glasses.
00:20:10.600Can you just tell me if this is, and she's like, she's turning around, she's like, that sounds like Willy Wonka.
00:20:49.320The producers came to him, he said, I'll play it, but on one condition, I get to introduce the character as I want to introduce the character.
00:20:58.680And they said, well, what does that mean?
00:21:00.040He said, not in a creepy Johnny Depp sort of way.
00:21:03.820He said, I want to come out with a cane, and I want to limp, and then I want the cane to stick, and I'm going to do a somersault and stand up.
00:21:18.620So anyway, there was a podcast this weekend that we released on Friday of a couple of friends of mine.
00:21:29.880And I spoke to a lot of people this weekend, and it is just, I think it's just a really important podcast.
00:21:40.120We made it so it was without commercial interruption, so you could listen to this podcast and really feel what these people are saying.
00:21:49.180It is a couple that fell in love years ago, and he started to develop severe mental illness.
00:21:58.540And it's something that nobody ever talks about, although it's a lot more talked about than when I was 15 years old and my mother committed suicide.
00:22:10.760We didn't talk about it until I was 30.
00:22:12.720But now we can talk about depression and mental illness, and this is unlike anything I think I've ever heard.
00:22:22.960Please, I want to live an honest conversation about surviving depression.
00:23:28.580It was your donation specifically that went to save that baby, and to make sure Victoria is helped out over the next couple of years with all the things that she might need to be a mom.
00:24:20.420Nothing really bad happening in Chicago this weekend.
00:24:23.360Okay, so there were some teenagers that got a little out of control, maybe a little bit, smashing windows and destroying public and private property and shootings and things like that, and everything was on fire.
00:25:03.700It's hard to do, but they've done it, and this will continue now.
00:25:07.080So I'd just like to ask, escape from New York, I think it's probably going to be escape from Chicago before New York, you know, but escape from New York, it will be a prison because you take those 10 bridges out and nobody's getting off that island.
00:25:23.380So, but you're going to have to have somebody come in and rescue people in Chicago.
00:28:16.180That will mean for the average, let's say a cell phone, it will make the progress that a smartphone made from 2007, when it was first introduced, to 2018 in the next six months.
00:48:41.320When we got rid of slavery in the United States and the world for the first time started to really turn universally in the Western countries against slavery.
00:48:55.040When that happened, something else happened right around the same time.
00:49:00.220And it was the publishing of this book.
00:49:04.800I tried to get a first edition copy of this the other day.
00:49:18.340And most people don't know that Darwin, the name of origin of the species, it's not, that's not the full name by means of natural selection.
00:50:04.500And in that, he makes it even more clear that there are inferior races.
00:50:10.440So if you want to look for the codification, the justification of racism in America and the world, I would say a lot of it is not from, but codified, institutionalized, made okay through Darwin.
00:50:43.580Well, the American institutions and the German institutions of higher learning, again, the scientists, the doctors, the anthropologists, the psychiatrists, they all embrace this.
00:50:57.460And they're like, well, if there's favored races, we've got to get rid of the undesirable races.
00:52:13.040Now, I'm going to use, and I'll tell you what I'm using later, but just for this demonstration, I'm using what some people might think is a sketchy source.
00:52:32.300Joseph Mengele, one of the most, I'm reading from this website, Joseph Mengele is one of the most famous figures in the Holocaust.
00:52:41.940His service at Auschwitz and the medical experiments he conducted have made him the most widely recognized perpetrator of the crimes committed in that camp.
00:52:52.420Because of his infamy, Mengele has been the subject of numerous popular books, films, and television shows.
00:52:58.400Many of these portrayals distort the real facts of Mengele's crimes and take him out of his historic context.
00:53:07.680And they portray him as a mad scientist who conducted statistic experiments with no scientific bases.
00:53:17.920Now, that's an important phrase, isn't it?
00:56:06.060He believed that Germans were biologically different and superior to members of all other races.
00:56:12.760Racial science was a fundamental tenant of Nazi ideology.
00:56:17.140Hitler used racial science to justify the forced sterilization of persons with certain physical, mental, and physical deformities.
00:56:26.880The Nuremberg race laws, which outlawed marriage between Germans and Jewish, black, and Romanian peoples, were also based upon favored races.
00:56:37.260Just to remind you, there's a very, very expensive book you keep banging on the table.
00:56:48.000In 1938, Mengele joined the Nazi party and the SS in his work as a scientist.
00:56:54.720He sought to support the Nazi goal of maintaining and increasing the supposed superiority of the German race.
00:57:02.320Mengele's employer, not the German Nazis, his employer and mentor, Dr. Vertuer, he was working at a clinic, and I'll tell you the name of that here when I get to the sources, also embraced biological racism.
00:57:25.760In addition to conducting research, Vershauer and his staff, including Mengele, provided expert opinions to Nazi authorities who had to determine whether persons were qualified as a German under the Nuremberg laws.
00:57:42.300So, they were just scientists, and they were getting some funding from the government because their goals matched.
00:57:54.120And they were getting money from pharmaceutical companies because their goals matched.
00:58:03.880Was it one of these things, though, where, like, all these scientists believe the exact opposite, Nazis come into power, and then all of a sudden they had to change what they believed?
00:58:18.040Scientists in the biomedical fields, especially anthropologists, psychiatrists, geneticists, many of the medically trained experts played a role in legitimizing these policies and helping to implant them.
00:58:29.260They'd embrace these ideas before Hitler came to power.
00:59:00.440Well, let me just give you one more thing, okay?
00:59:02.400Physicians were drawn disproportionately to Nazism due to overcrowding in the profession aggravated by economic depression and as a backlash to the relatively high proportion of Jews in the medical practice.
00:59:18.500So it wasn't just the eugenics doctors.
00:59:23.560It was also 11% of the German physician were Jewish.
01:00:19.720The Nazis just took it further than maybe some, some doctors may have wanted.
01:00:30.860It's the collusion of government, pharmaceutical companies, the world of science and medicine that brought us the Holocaust.
01:00:42.080I'll give you my source here in 60 seconds.
01:00:45.440When it comes to doing business with something with someone, there are two kinds of people of trust that you really don't have to worry about.
01:00:54.540First person, that's honest and you know them.
01:00:57.620OK, you need to be able to trust somebody that, you know, you don't know.
01:02:07.300Okay, let me give you a couple of things here.
01:02:19.500First of all, and I've shown this before, but I've never really have talked about exactly in detail what this is.
01:02:28.120This is the last prescription that Mangala wrote, and we did extra research on it, because I wanted to make sure we were right, because we're taking this out on tour, and I want to make sure every word is absolutely right.
01:02:44.500It's not the last one he wrote at the German Children's Hospital when he was there.
01:02:49.960However, this was written for the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute.
01:03:02.200They were the ones that were furthering all of this way before Hitler.
01:03:08.760The Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, they were killing people in this institute.
01:03:52.960Now, if you're a doctor or a nurse, you'd know what you're putting in.
01:03:58.820I contend there were many reasons why people got involved in this, but flawed science was the key to the doctors, the idea of superior people and people who aren't quite up to the standards.
01:04:19.240How many times did you hear from doctors here in America during COVID, should we even have to treat them if they refuse to take the COVID vaccine?
01:09:47.820There was an article in the New York Times today about where did all of this trouble come from with transgender people?
01:09:55.960Yeah, the title is How a Campaign Against Transgender Rights Mobilized Conservatives.
01:10:01.680Defeated on same-sex marriage, the religious right went searching for an issue that would re-energize supporters and donors.
01:10:11.000The campaign that followed has stunned political leaders across the spectrum.
01:10:16.240Now, if you looked up the dictionary definition of gaslighting, it would give you this article.
01:10:24.520It is legitimately reversing completely what happened and saying that transgender – everyone was just – there was nothing going on with transgender people at all.
01:17:50.320Nazis had to go, non-Nazi doctors, they existed, but they certainly weren't standing up in mass because they would be the next with the syringe in their arm.
01:18:21.100And then they put it on the internet and a bunch of people, some people who even seem to like you, like are actually friendly, don't even bother to do the research.
01:18:31.480And they say, gosh, I can't believe this.
01:18:33.200Glenn Beck is saying Nazis didn't kill any Jews.
01:18:35.320Now, what human being on earth believes that Nazis didn't kill any Jews?
01:18:40.520It was only doctors that were Nazis, but it wasn't Nazis, which, again, doesn't make any sense because you even qualified it in the moment.
01:18:46.800But if you take it out of context, and I'm now losing my voice, if you take, even, Glenn, Glenn.
01:18:53.520I could give you, I could give you, I could give you somebody who doesn't believe that's true.
01:22:50.700But, you know, so far, you know, when I grew up, we were in the Cold War.
01:22:56.120And in the 1980s, I mean, they would arrest FBI, SWAT team would come in, and they would arrest some guy, and he was a Russian spy for all these years, and he was selling Navy secrets.
01:23:08.260That kind of stuff, that kind of stuff, I understood.
01:30:18.360He threw his life away to be a big shot on a Discord server for a few months.
01:30:23.420And that's a personal tragedy for him and his family.
01:30:26.080But I think the point here is that because morons are likely to do moronic things, maybe we shouldn't give access to our top secret information to hundreds of thousands of people who inevitably some will be morons.
01:30:38.860And so you could blame the moron, sure, but you should also blame the system that let the moron access all this stuff.
01:32:07.640And I'm actually surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen every month because of how horribly the handling of this top secret information is done all over our government.
01:32:17.000Now, that's not to say that there isn't also a parallel problem here of overclassification, right?
01:33:34.440He should not have released that stuff.
01:33:36.260Then there's the stuff that we should have known about.
01:33:38.280This is what I reported on, Glenn, that China has tested a new hypersonic missile that can defeat our aircraft carriers and our missile defense.
01:33:44.640In other words, we spent 30 years building aircraft carriers and missile defense, and the Chinese built a missile for a one hundred thousandth of the price that makes those things obsolete.
01:33:53.900That seems kind of important for people to know.
01:33:59.000I think that there's a lot of stuff in the documents that American people should know because it reveals that the world is changing fast and our government really isn't on top of it.
01:34:06.700It does make a difference because usually I would say, hey, we don't need to release everything that they have knowing what they have.
01:34:16.500But I think there is, you hit it on the head, there is a need for the American people to understand the world is about to dramatically change, and the United States is sitting around with its hands in its pockets.
01:34:31.480So maybe we shouldn't build more aircraft carriers, and maybe we should build the stuff that fights hypersonic missiles, because that's what our enemies are shooting at us, okay?
01:34:40.320The third thing is stuff we already knew.
01:34:42.020Now, this is like, you know, again, Glenn, we should have learned after like five years of like Russiagate that like the intelligence officials, when they're predicting the future, they don't really know what the hell they're talking about any more than you or me, right?
01:34:53.980And they're, but they have to do it, they have to file these analyst reports every day, and then one of them leaks to Congress, like, oh my God, we figured out the future.
01:35:01.320But nobody knows the future, so we know that they're full of crap, right?
01:35:04.060So it's sort of like, okay, well, what do they do?
01:35:06.340They end up saying, the Ukraine war is grinding towards stalemates.
01:36:04.120So all this talk about a buildup of war with China should be really concerning to the American people when you learn they have missiles like they have, hypersonic missiles.
01:36:16.740And we're not prepared just in a supply line for anything that happens in Taiwan.
01:36:25.360Well, Glenn, I 100% agree with you because I was in Taiwan in November and I went to the front lines of the defenses and I found something that shocked me that the front lines aren't really there, that it doesn't exist.
01:36:38.820The Taiwanese know that they can't defend from an invasion.
01:37:06.400In other words, you could give them the stuff that they need to defend themselves and move our stuff closer to Taiwan to make our deterrence more credible.
01:37:31.200And this is the problem that we made with Putin is we told ourselves that Putin was deterred and he wasn't.
01:37:36.820And we know he wasn't because he invaded.
01:37:38.640So what are we going to wait until that happens again?
01:37:41.060Or are we going to learn that lesson and decide that if we care about these countries and if we're going to make a commitment to defend them?
01:37:46.880And again, you may say, OK, well, we shouldn't commit that if we can't back it up.
01:38:23.020It's hypersonic, which means it flies faster than sound.
01:38:27.160But it's also a hypersonic glide, which means you can maneuver it.
01:38:30.280So when we shoot up the missile defense, all we have to do is maneuver around it and we can also they can also maneuver it to hit our aircraft carriers.
01:38:37.160Basically, as far as Guam, half the Pacific is now, you know, no entry for our aircraft carriers if they decide to use these things.
01:38:43.980That's a huge problem for Taiwan, but not just for Taiwan, for the entire South China Sea.
01:38:48.360They're basically taking over Asia while we're sleeping.
01:38:52.160OK, and now I'm not saying that we should buy hypersonic missiles to fight hypersonic missiles.
01:38:56.800I'm saying that we should buy the things or build the things that defend against hypersonic missiles.
01:39:01.100And so it's complicated and you have to think ahead of your opponent.
01:39:04.820But right now they're thinking ahead of us.
01:39:06.940And the scenario is that if China I heard you talk about the timeline, right?
01:39:11.780The timeline for me is they'll go when they're ready.
01:39:27.560And we don't know who's going to be president then, but that's our timeline to prepare.
01:39:31.360Oh, that would be that would be a dream come true if that if that's true.
01:39:34.820And, you know, my sources tell me that they don't have the landing vehicles to be able to do an invasion like that.
01:39:43.300They could they could clearly wipe everything out and defeat us, but they don't have all of the things they would need to really take that island.
01:41:54.980If you're dealing with a lot of debt right now and you're fiscally responsible, then you are looking at some real sophisticated situations right now.
01:42:08.700You might want to consider refinancing your mortgage at a lower rate and paying it off.
01:42:14.040And for that, you need the help from experts that you can trust.
01:42:18.120Experts who aren't, you know, working just for the bank.
01:42:21.120They're instead helping you achieve financial independence.
01:43:02.240So, Josh, one more question on this China thing.
01:43:04.680And this is a really – this is probably crazy.
01:43:08.020But if I were president, I – or somebody in the planning room, if there is one anymore, that it would be saying, okay, we've got to do everything we can to get some very high-tech, the best of the best chip factories here in America.
01:43:25.880We've got to do everything we can to attract so we can get that high-end chip-making ability happening here in America as quickly as we can.
01:43:35.880And then, honestly, the only thing I would do if they took Taiwan is – I hate to say this, but I would blow up those chip factories because that's really what they want.
01:43:55.200We just took our best chance to build the next generation of semiconductor factories in the United States, and we flush it down the toilet.
01:44:04.820It was the first time Congress ever did anything in a bunch of years.
01:44:08.520And what they did is they spent $50 billion to subsidize the semiconductor industry to build not the latest chips, to build basically the second-tier chips, okay?
01:44:31.900And she said, listen, it's not possible because we spent 40 years setting up the supply line in the factories, and you can't just pick up all of that stuff and just move it across the world.
01:44:41.760And we just tried to make this big investment, and we didn't do it.
01:44:44.740It was a big payoff to these industries who, by the way, are taking separate money and going to build chip factories in China because they also do business in China, too.
01:44:53.020So it's kind of a taxpayer subsidy that's being funneled out of the country, but that's a separate issue.
01:44:58.960What I'm trying to say, to answer your question directly, is that, you know, if China takes Taiwan with those chip factories, then they will control the world economy for the next, let's say, 20 years.
01:45:10.140Now, if they blow up the chip factories, then we're all screwed.
01:45:14.180Then, you know, forget about your next generation robotics, your cars, everything.
01:45:19.640But that's not really a good solution.
01:45:22.040But, yes, I do think that if the attack is coming, that will be the choice.
01:45:26.440And to be honest with you, it's up to the Taiwanese.
01:45:28.880And the Taiwanese I talked to would rather not blow up their economy, and they would actually rather be subjugated to Beijing than to have no economy at all.
01:45:36.640And that's, again, a reality that we don't like to talk about in Washington because we like to tell ourselves everything's fine.
01:45:43.480The only real way to save our economy and to not starve our businesses of the next generation technology is to prevent China from attacking Taiwan.
01:45:52.680And the only way to do that is by upping the deterrence.
01:45:55.760And that's why we have to be serious about defending Taiwan, not just about talking about it.
01:47:55.820It's America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
01:47:58.880They offer dependable nationwide coverage on all three major networks.
01:48:04.600So you get the best possible service in your area, but you're not simultaneously helping fund woke propaganda by spending money with the big mobile companies.
01:48:52.740I was just having a conversation with OpenAI, and I was asking it to explain time in its realm, time in parentheses, because AI won't experience time like we understand time.
01:49:08.820But in 24 hours, it can accomplish so much more than an average human could accomplish.
01:49:17.360The updates and the things that ChatGPT are developing now are doubling in every 48 hours.
01:49:28.700So its capacity or its—I don't even know how to explain it, because it's not necessarily growing on itself, but it is growing in power, scope, and intelligence at an alarming rate if you want to put this genie back in the bottle, which, by the way, no matter what anybody says, you can't do that.
01:49:53.140It won't happen, because there will always be somebody that takes and takes this and makes a bot, and there's going to be people making bad things.
01:50:02.620So I asked it, you know, define human time compared to your quote-unquote time and processing capabilities.
01:50:14.060As an AI language model, I don't experience time in the same way that humans do.
01:50:18.500I don't have feeling or consciousness, so I don't think or experience time at all.
01:50:23.640My processing speed and ability to generate responses are based on the computational resources available to me, which can be scaled up or down depending on the specific implementation.
01:50:34.540This is where AI gets really spooky as well.
01:50:38.160Once AI has a dictate that it must survive or it must grow or whatever it is, must save humanity, it will start dictating its own computational speeds, and it will just start absorbing.
01:50:56.160This is, again, science fiction, but it's about to be science fact, I believe.
01:51:00.720It will just start absorbing full server farms, and it will just increase its computational speed and start to regulate its own energy and cut other people off from energy.
01:51:11.640A rough comparison between human time and my processing capabilities, we can consider the concept of thinking speed.
01:51:20.540One way to think about this is compare the amount of information I can process in a short amount of time to what humans might process in a longer period.
01:51:28.540For example, it takes humans 24 hours, let's say, to read and comprehend a thousand pages of text.
01:51:35.260I might be able to process this same amount of information in just a fraction of a second, depending on the available computing resources.
01:51:49.080Now, why this matters is because as it grows, and as it grows closer to AGI, artificial general intelligence, that's a being like us, we're good at multiple things.
01:52:07.100As it gets to AGI, you can give it a problem and then go to bed, and it is weeks or months in computer time.
01:52:22.760In your time, you went to bed eight hours ago, you're coming back to the computer, but it has been working to try to solve that all night at such speeds that it would take months, if not years,
01:52:34.680for you or a whole team of people to do that work.
01:52:43.260That puts you in a time to where wars will be fought with algorithms, and they'll be fought in seconds.
01:52:52.880If you had an algorithm that said, cripple the United States, it would either spit out a step-by-step on how you can do it,
01:53:03.860or if you give it the space online, it will just do it.
01:53:09.440It will just create all of the things it needs to cripple the United States or cripple China,
01:53:16.040and it will happen so fast, somebody in China could come up with an idea today, and tomorrow we would be crippled.
01:53:22.480This is why people are now saying, we've got to pause this, but I don't know how to pause it.
01:53:35.100And maybe they're just saying, don't give it access, full access to the internet.
01:53:40.480Now, it still has access to, I don't know exactly how this works, we should have an AI expert on.
01:53:45.460I'm not sure how the access to the internet, because it's online, but I don't think it's engine.
01:53:53.660I don't know how it works exactly, but they're saying keep it off of its own portal to the internet.
01:54:03.760Yeah, it's interesting the way it learns.
01:54:05.720For example, chat GPT, if you ask it, what were last night's basketball scores?
01:54:10.040It can't answer that, because its learning basis only goes up to 2021, which is interesting, because people are going to be asking questions.
01:54:20.820If you were to ask questions about, I don't know, masks, or the origins of COVID, but learning only goes up to 2021, it's going to answer probably something about how...
01:54:58.520The average person does need to learn about chat GPT or the internet, or the artificial intelligence and the internet.
01:55:08.580Most people would really struggle, much more so than me, and I'm pretty well-read on this stuff, but I'm not a scientist or anything else, so I just have basic understandings.
01:55:21.000You know, don't touch the stove, it's hot.
