[00:44.160 --> 00:51.600]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday the 26th of May, year of our Lord 2026. Well, today we're
[00:51.600 --> 00:58.880]  going to take a look at AI and the Tower of Babel. What did the Pope say about this? What did he
[00:58.880 --> 01:03.200]  get right? And what did he leave out, quite frankly? And yes, he got some things wrong.
[01:04.080 --> 01:09.440]  But it is about pride. I think he missed one of the key aspects of this. We're going to talk
[01:09.440 --> 01:16.560]  about that as well as the building resistance against AI. Is this something we should fear?
[01:17.440 --> 01:25.280]  Or has God got it? That's a rhetorical question, of course. And we can already see some possible
[01:25.280 --> 01:32.240]  contours of what he might do with us. But it's also a part for us to play for such a time as
[01:32.240 --> 01:37.200]  this. We're going to talk about that. And we're going to talk about what Trump did for Memorial
[01:37.200 --> 01:45.680]  Day yesterday. Did he honor the memory of those who died? Is he going to send more people to die
[01:45.680 --> 02:02.080]  for a PR event, which is what he called getting the nuclear dust? We'll be right back.
[02:10.320 --> 02:14.960]  Well, yesterday was Memorial Day. We did the program because I had missed several
[02:14.960 --> 02:20.720]  days the previous week, not last week or the week before that. And a lot of people didn't
[02:20.720 --> 02:24.080]  think we were going to be telling the show. We had questions all the way through the show.
[02:24.080 --> 02:29.760]  Are you live? Are you live? And yes, we were live yesterday. And I talked about some things that I
[02:29.760 --> 02:35.680]  think were very important, especially towards the end of the show. The guy who was caught on a
[02:35.680 --> 02:42.800]  Man on the Street interview, his interview went viral. He was somebody who was in a UK town to
[02:42.800 --> 02:50.080]  support a movement by the Restorer Party, which is a counter to both the establishment Tory and
[02:50.080 --> 02:56.720]  Labour parties as well as to Nigel Farage's Reform Party, which looks like it just wants to
[02:56.720 --> 03:03.200]  rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic rather than actually recognizing the problem. And Frank
[03:03.200 --> 03:09.600]  Wright, the guy they talked to, got 40 million views and well deserved, by the way. Many people
[03:09.680 --> 03:13.840]  need to hear that and I'm glad people did hear it. So we talked about that yesterday.
[03:14.720 --> 03:18.720]  And I want to talk a little bit about what actually happened on Memorial Day. And of course,
[03:18.720 --> 03:23.440]  Memorial Day, you know, Veterans Day is to honor anybody who was in the military.
[03:23.440 --> 03:29.440]  Memorial Day is to honor those who died serving in the military. But the question is, as we look at
[03:29.440 --> 03:37.360]  what our government has become, are these wars of aggression and regime change? Are they freeing us
[03:38.080 --> 03:45.760]  or are they enslaving us? They are enslaving us with debt. It's absolutely unbelievable. The
[03:45.760 --> 03:51.840]  strategy of constantly doubling down. Well, that didn't work, so let's do more of what didn't work.
[03:51.840 --> 03:56.880]  And of course, one of the key things that doesn't work, which they continually doubled down on,
[03:57.760 --> 04:03.840]  is bombing campaigns. Now, civilian bombing campaigns, as I pointed out many, many times
[04:03.840 --> 04:08.960]  since World War II, that has become now standard operating procedure. And so,
[04:10.240 --> 04:16.640]  as they do this, they're actually decreasing our safety. I'm not talking about national security,
[04:16.640 --> 04:21.920]  which is nothing other than continuity of government. They're decreasing the prosperity,
[04:22.560 --> 04:30.080]  the safety, the liberty of Americans with these wars. And they are storing up the wrath with that.
[04:30.640 --> 04:33.840]  Storing up wrath not only from the people and the civilians that they're bombing,
[04:34.400 --> 04:41.200]  but they're storing up wrath from God, quite frankly. So, Veterans Day is for those who died
[04:41.200 --> 04:48.880]  serving. And we have Trump going to Arlington Cemetery. And there was a very touching event
[04:49.520 --> 04:56.720]  that, of course, he used for his own purposes. A young boy dressed up in a dress uniform, I believe,
[04:56.720 --> 05:02.480]  of the Marines. This is a six-year-old boy. He goes every year to Arlington Cemetery
[05:03.200 --> 05:08.240]  to put a wreath on the grave of his father. Now, I don't know what war his father was
[05:08.240 --> 05:14.000]  fighting in or what happened with it. I just know that there haven't been any justified wars
[05:14.640 --> 05:22.800]  in my lifetime. And so, Trump is cynically using the grief of this young fatherless boy.
[05:23.760 --> 05:27.600]  And I think it is cynical. Now, he's very proud of what his father did. I don't want to take that
[05:27.600 --> 05:34.560]  away from him. But I got to say, we should ask why it was necessary, especially from this draft
[05:34.560 --> 05:42.400]  dodging, mass murdering so-called president that we have, who is more than willing to send more
[05:42.400 --> 05:50.960]  people to die, more people to kill, so he can do what he confessed is nothing other than a PR event.
[05:51.600 --> 05:59.520]  Are people supposed to die to make Trump look good? It makes me sick when I look at what he did.
[05:59.520 --> 06:06.240]  Some people put out, yeah, he's a GI joke, not a GI Joe. Toy soldier Trump
[06:06.800 --> 06:15.040]  dissed a true war hero, but used five deferments and a foot boo-boo to dodge the Vietnam draft.
[06:15.760 --> 06:22.480]  Yeah, and this is daily news. They've got a red arrow. He's got a couple of medals on his chest.
[06:22.480 --> 06:29.040]  They said, here's his medal for being neat. And ordinarily, it wouldn't be such a mark of
[06:29.040 --> 06:35.280]  shame to dodge the draft for Vietnam if it weren't for him trying to start wars just like it and
[06:35.280 --> 06:39.840]  starting wars just like it. Well, there's a difference in terms of dodging versus open
[06:39.840 --> 06:45.680]  resistance, right? It's the same story we see over and over again, pretending that you're complying
[06:45.680 --> 06:52.160]  with the system, not resisting the system, not resisting an unjust war, but just finding a way
[06:52.160 --> 06:58.000]  to fit in with the cracks and dodge what is happening. It's kind of the difference between
[06:58.000 --> 07:05.760]  what he does in terms of tax evasion versus tax avoidance. And so as all of that is happening,
[07:06.480 --> 07:13.520]  and Trump is showing us the PR, I wanted to bookend that young boy who is placing flowers
[07:13.520 --> 07:18.240]  on the grave of his father, six-year-old boy, and then take a look at what is happening across
[07:18.240 --> 07:23.920]  the Middle East. We're talking about Gaza or Lebanon or Iran. This picture right here
[07:24.560 --> 07:31.360]  is a six-year-old child, another grieving father. What's the purpose of this, Trump? And all of you
[07:31.360 --> 07:38.400]  MAGA evangelicals who are cheering all of this mass murder. What's the matter with you?
[07:39.920 --> 07:42.880]  You push back against abortion, but you don't care about this?
[07:44.480 --> 07:51.760]  This unbelievable inconsistency and hypocrisy. Yes, we should oppose abortion. You should oppose
[07:51.760 --> 07:58.800]  this type of thing as well. Is it okay to mutilate the bodies of people with bombs,
[07:58.800 --> 08:05.600]  but not to mutilate the bodies of children, but not mutilate the bodies of children in terms of
[08:05.600 --> 08:12.640]  transgender stuff? Both of those are wrong. How can you support one and not oppose it?
[08:13.280 --> 08:19.360]  I don't understand either one of those, frankly. And yet it is this fundamental issue at the heart
[08:19.360 --> 08:24.640]  of it, which is indicative of both the left and the right. The left will support the mutilation
[08:24.640 --> 08:30.480]  of children's bodies after gaslighting. The right will support mutilation of children's bodies with
[08:30.480 --> 08:39.760]  a gaslit war. How insane this all is. And here's how it works. Benjamin Netanyahu laid it out for
[08:39.760 --> 08:45.520]  you, how you get people to do these types of atrocities. To blow up a bus full of children
[08:46.080 --> 08:51.440]  or a building full of innocent civilians, you have to grind it into their lives. You have to
[08:51.440 --> 08:56.000]  wash their brains. You tell them there's a higher cause out there. It's religious, ethnic, racial,
[08:56.560 --> 09:04.400]  whatever. And for that higher cause, you can disregard all the normal rules of morality.
[09:06.240 --> 09:11.440]  That's right. You can disregard all the rules of morality. You can disregard the constitution.
[09:11.440 --> 09:17.840]  You can disregard the law. You can disregard what you swore to uphold as a condition of your office,
[09:18.800 --> 09:26.320]  because you get people brainwashed with some religious jihad. And folks, that is the danger
[09:26.960 --> 09:31.520]  of Christian Zionism. That is the danger of dispensationalism that supports it.
[09:32.400 --> 09:39.760]  It's a false teaching. It is an error, which in and of itself appears to be
[09:40.800 --> 09:44.640]  just a distraction away from Christ, which is serious enough for Christians.
[09:45.360 --> 09:51.920]  But then it leads to this type of thing. All error has consequences. This is the consequence
[09:51.920 --> 09:57.520]  of dispensationalism and Zionism. The Islamic Republic of Iran has made it abundantly clear it
[09:57.520 --> 10:03.360]  will never give up its fusionable material voluntarily. Is it worth a fight to keep a
[10:03.360 --> 10:09.440]  fanatical regime from getting a nuclear bomb? This is Don Fetter, who's writing about Memorial
[10:09.440 --> 10:14.320]  Day. He's putting this in the context of people who defended their country, the people it conquered
[10:14.320 --> 10:20.160]  in Lexington, who actually did fight for freedom. He's putting it in that context. And he says, so
[10:20.160 --> 10:25.840]  we've got a maniacal regime. You know, we created that maniacal regime. We've been driving these
[10:25.840 --> 10:33.040]  people crazy for 73 years. We did a regime change. It was called the Shah. And the CIA,
[10:33.040 --> 10:40.640]  Massad put in this horrific authoritarian regime, the SAVAK. And the Ayatollah was a reaction to it.
[10:40.640 --> 10:47.760]  And people were finally reacting to the Ayatollah after several decades of this. We shut that all
[10:47.760 --> 10:56.000]  down with a bombing campaign. It always does that. This is beyond foolish. It doesn't even serve the
[10:56.000 --> 11:02.720]  ends that Israel and the United States want. And so I get a look at this and say, is Israel?
[11:11.280 --> 11:16.080]  You take a detour. That's the beauty of it. For me, summer's always been about discovery.
[11:16.080 --> 11:20.800]  New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas. You start one place, end up somewhere completely
[11:20.800 --> 11:26.000]  different. And somehow, that's exactly where you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along
[11:26.000 --> 11:31.440]  the way. Starbucks has been one of those constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between
[11:31.440 --> 11:36.000]  conversations that turn into something bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement,
[11:36.000 --> 11:41.120]  part of that rhythm. The summer's got its own soundtrack, too. You can almost hear it without
[11:41.120 --> 11:45.920]  trying. Life's happening all around you, that feeling of staying open to whatever's next.
[11:45.920 --> 11:50.560]  Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment. What you're holding,
[11:50.560 --> 11:56.720]  what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Quava and passionfruit
[11:56.720 --> 12:03.360]  flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for
[12:03.360 --> 12:08.160]  the day that's still unfolding. And that's the thing. Sometimes, one small stop
[12:08.160 --> 12:13.520]  changes the whole mood of your day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks.
[12:13.520 --> 12:16.720]  Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.
[12:33.360 --> 12:53.760]  The Monarchal Regime. They're the ones who are attacking all their neighbors. They're the ones
[12:53.760 --> 12:59.600]  with a nuclear bomb. They're the ones with a nuclear bomb who have blackmailed the United
[12:59.600 --> 13:05.120]  States. Jonathan Pollard bragged about this. We told him, you give us weapons to fight Egypt,
[13:05.120 --> 13:09.760]  or we're going to drop a nuclear bomb in the Middle East. You help us with this, or we're
[13:09.760 --> 13:14.800]  going to set the entire Gulf state and oil region on fire. They'll probably do it anyway.
[13:16.640 --> 13:20.560]  You want to talk about monarchal regimes. That's the one you need to take a look at.
[13:21.440 --> 13:27.840]  As a matter of fact, we're talking about a war. Yes, I think there is such a thing as a just war.
[13:27.840 --> 13:32.560]  That's one of the things that I disagree strongly with the pope about, and many conservative
[13:32.560 --> 13:37.680]  Catholics disagree with them as well. LifeSite News pointed that out. There is such a thing
[13:37.680 --> 13:45.760]  as a just war, conducted in defense of innocent life, avoiding killing innocent people until you
[13:45.760 --> 13:52.080]  can stop the violence, the aggression. It's no different than if there was a mass shooting,
[13:52.800 --> 13:58.560]  and the police use guns to kill the shooter in order to stop the violence. But if the police
[13:58.560 --> 14:03.680]  come in and start shooting all the people on the street, or if they come in and they blow up the
[14:03.680 --> 14:08.160]  building that the mass shooter is in, that's what we're talking about with Gaza. That's what we're
[14:08.160 --> 14:13.120]  talking about with Lebanon. That's what we're talking about with Iran. And that's what we're
[14:13.120 --> 14:19.760]  talking about when we talk about a just war. You don't kill non-combatants, period. And you
[14:19.840 --> 14:25.200]  must not be the aggressor. You must not get up on top of the building and start shooting people.
[14:26.480 --> 14:32.080]  But that's what our government does time and again. And so, amazingly enough, Don Fetter
[14:32.880 --> 14:42.720]  refers to the World War I poem in Flanders Field. Now folks, if there was ever useless slaughter,
[14:43.440 --> 14:48.880]  it was World War I. There was absolutely no reason for us to get involved. There's absolutely no
[14:48.880 --> 14:57.440]  reason for the main combatants in Europe to get involved. And it was such an absurd situation.
[14:58.480 --> 15:03.120]  And so many people died so horrifically. They called it the war to end all wars. But of course,
[15:03.120 --> 15:07.920]  within a couple of decades, we were back at it again. But it was a horrible war. I've talked
[15:07.920 --> 15:15.840]  many times about how I love the story of Sergeant York. And there's a large statue to him in the
[15:16.800 --> 15:23.440]  state capitol in Nashville. And he was a war hero who, in the midst of the war,
[15:24.400 --> 15:28.560]  to defend his life and other people's lives. I mean, you get into a situation like that.
[15:28.560 --> 15:33.120]  And now, what are you going to do about it? Well, you have to defend yourself or die.
[15:34.480 --> 15:41.520]  And so he was able to take out an entire German. He took out a few of them. He was such a crack
[15:41.520 --> 15:45.600]  shot. They thought they were under attack apparently by more people. It's a great story.
[15:45.600 --> 15:52.000]  But I always liked the movie with Gary Cooper at the beginning, where he just simply said,
[15:52.720 --> 16:00.000]  the book's again killing, talking about the Bible. And he got gaslit by his army commander.
[16:00.960 --> 16:09.120]  He got drawn up in their version of history and never looked at the details of that actual war.
[16:10.000 --> 16:16.560]  And so he had massive slaughter. And so Don Fetter says, well, he quotes the
[16:17.840 --> 16:24.320]  poem, says, take up our quarrel with the foe. Why should we? What is your quarrel with the foe?
[16:25.280 --> 16:32.000]  He said, to you from failing hands, we throw the torch. It is yours to hold high. If you break
[16:32.000 --> 16:37.280]  faith with us who die, we shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders field.
[16:38.480 --> 16:45.280]  And this is what propagates war. We want to make the death and the suffering of those who fought
[16:45.280 --> 16:49.920]  initially, without ever considering whether it was justified or not, as we see with World War One
[16:49.920 --> 16:57.440]  and so many other wars, without ever actually doing any discernment, any debate about the purposes of
[16:57.440 --> 17:03.920]  this and how it ends. No, you just go and fight. Ours is not the reason why. Ours is but to do or
[17:03.920 --> 17:11.760]  die. And we want you to take up our torch and continue this senseless slaughter of World War
[17:11.760 --> 17:19.280]  One. I'm sorry. I'm not on board with that kind of memorial. When I look at Memorial Day for Americans,
[17:19.280 --> 17:26.720]  it's like trying to remember something when you've got dementia or Alzheimer's or something.
[17:26.720 --> 17:33.600]  This is a memorial day for people who can't and won't remember. We always talk about it as
[17:33.600 --> 17:39.040]  remembrance. You should remember why they fought and the fact that it wasn't a good reason.
[17:39.920 --> 17:45.760]  And you should remember what justifies the defense of innocent life, rather than taking
[17:45.760 --> 17:52.480]  innocent life. It disgusts me to see these orphans, disgusts me to see these people who have lost
[17:52.480 --> 17:58.880]  their children. That's the true meaning, folks, of these wars. Don't put a brave face on it.
[17:58.880 --> 18:04.000]  Meanwhile, Trump kicks off Memorial Day with a long tirade on social media, of course,
[18:04.880 --> 18:13.920]  a full fit over the criticism of his bungled war negotiations, as reported by MSN. He wrote
[18:14.560 --> 18:19.440]  104 words before hitting a period, breathlessly coming after
[18:20.080 --> 18:27.040]  Democrats, Rinos, and fools, from the guy who reportedly was tested at his military school
[18:27.040 --> 18:36.720]  with an IQ of 73, which I haven't verified, but certainly sounds reasonable. So he says,
[18:36.720 --> 18:41.840]  to all the Democrats, Rinos, and fools who know nothing about the potential deal that I'm making
[18:41.840 --> 18:47.200]  with Iran, well, what is this deal? I mean, he told us that it was going to be unconditional
[18:47.200 --> 18:52.320]  surrender, which I don't support, but that's what he was saying he was going to do. He's been all
[18:52.320 --> 18:59.200]  over the place. Why would we trust him when he has lied, when he has flip-flopped on everything,
[18:59.200 --> 19:07.520]  from tacos to wars and terrorists? So he says, Bill Cassidy, who suffered a primary loss,
[19:07.520 --> 19:13.520]  or a really bad congressman, Thomas Massey, a sleazebag who lost on a landslide to a great
[19:13.520 --> 19:21.200]  American patriot. Donald Trump calling somebody a sleazebag after being the best pal of Jeffrey
[19:21.200 --> 19:29.200]  Epstein, after cheating on every one of his wives, after divorcing several of them, and doing his
[19:29.200 --> 19:33.040]  best to try to publicly humiliate him. I mean, movies have been done about this guy over and
[19:33.040 --> 19:37.920]  over again. He's such a sleazebag. If you look up the word sleazebag, you're not going to see
[19:37.920 --> 19:42.800]  a picture of Thomas Massey. You're going to see a picture of Donald Trump. It's the ultimate
[19:42.800 --> 19:51.840]  projection from a guy who is a sociopath, a psychopath, a narcissist. And so that's how he
[19:51.840 --> 19:58.080]  began. And then he says, finishes up, happy Memorial Day to all, including the Democrats
[19:58.720 --> 20:04.160]  who hate our military and all of our tremendous success that we've had in the last year.
[20:05.440 --> 20:13.520]  Tell us about this tremendous success and show us how much you hate everyone and everything
[20:14.800 --> 20:20.720]  because you love yourself so much. Hey, what up y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session.
[20:20.720 --> 20:24.640]  You start with one idea, one direction, and then it shifts. Somebody calls.
[20:24.640 --> 20:29.920]  Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it. For me, Summer's always been about
[20:29.920 --> 20:34.640]  discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas. You start one place, end up somewhere
[20:34.640 --> 20:39.760]  completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where you're supposed to be. I've always had my
[20:39.760 --> 20:44.720]  spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of those constants. Before a session, on the way to
[20:44.720 --> 20:49.440]  a gig, and between conversations that turn into something bigger than you expected. It's part of
[20:49.440 --> 20:54.960]  that movement, part of that rhythm. Summer's got its own soundtrack too. You can almost hear
[20:54.960 --> 20:59.440]  it without trying. Life's happening all around you, that feeling of staying open to whatever's
[20:59.440 --> 21:04.880]  next. Sometimes it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment. What you're holding,
[21:04.880 --> 21:11.040]  what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Quava and passion fruit
[21:11.040 --> 21:17.680]  flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for
[21:17.680 --> 21:23.520]  the day that's still unfolding. And that's the thing. Sometimes one small stop changes the whole
[21:23.520 --> 21:30.240]  mood of your day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher
[21:30.240 --> 21:34.560]  from Starbucks.
[21:47.680 --> 22:08.400]  So Trump is demanding that most of the Arab world now join his Abraham Accords immediately.
[22:09.120 --> 22:14.080]  Yeah, he's a dictator. He gets to tell everybody what to do. He is absolutely,
[22:15.040 --> 22:19.200]  and this is what we were talking about yesterday. Frank Wright was pointing it out. He said,
[22:19.200 --> 22:25.040]  all these different empires that have tried to make themselves great and prosperous by using
[22:25.040 --> 22:34.720]  the military, they always fail. We are going down a long trodden path of history. And we know where
[22:34.720 --> 22:40.480]  this ends. And anybody who looks at this knows where this goes. So he says, well, it's going to
[22:40.560 --> 22:45.360]  be a great deal for all or no deal at all. And it'll be back to the battlefront and the shooting.
[22:46.480 --> 22:50.560]  He won't be on the battlefront. He won't be doing any shooting. Lindsey Graham won't. Mark Levin
[22:50.560 --> 22:55.440]  won't. Ben Shapiro won't. None of these people are going to do any of this. But he's trying to say,
[22:55.440 --> 22:59.360]  well, we've got to get together all these different countries, the United Arab Emirates,
[23:00.000 --> 23:05.680]  Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Iran. They've all got to be a part of these Abraham
[23:05.680 --> 23:12.400]  Accords. He said, they've all got to be ready, willing, and able to make this settlement with
[23:12.400 --> 23:18.960]  Iran, just like Europe. And I've played the clip for you, the guy who was the highest ranking
[23:18.960 --> 23:25.680]  commander from the French in NATO. And he said, you know, as Trump is berating everybody, he's
[23:25.680 --> 23:32.800]  bragging on the one hand, he's bragging about how omnipotent and invincible his military is.
[23:33.680 --> 23:39.440]  And at the same time, he is begging, actually demanding, military help
[23:40.400 --> 23:44.960]  and threatening the people who don't give it to him. And he says, so what does he really want?
[23:45.520 --> 23:49.920]  Why didn't he even tell us that he was going to do this? He didn't consult with us. And we know
[23:49.920 --> 23:53.920]  that if we get involved in a situation like this, he won't consult with us then either.
[23:53.920 --> 23:58.400]  He'll go do his own thing. He'll wind up killing our own troops. He said, you have to have a
[23:58.400 --> 24:03.360]  unified command. You have to have trust between people in order to do this. So he says it's not
[24:03.360 --> 24:07.280]  going to work out at all. But he pointed out, he said, that's not really what he wants.
[24:08.000 --> 24:14.960]  He doesn't really want military help. He wants political help. He wants other countries to
[24:14.960 --> 24:22.000]  endorse what he's doing, because, folks, every country on earth opposes what Donald Trump is
[24:22.000 --> 24:27.280]  doing with Iran, every country, except Israel. And now Israel's not happy that he's doing enough of
[24:27.280 --> 24:35.840]  it. Every other country despises what America is doing. We are becoming as odious as Israel,
[24:35.840 --> 24:42.000]  because we're becoming like Israel, because we're being run by Zionists. And so Trump, when he wants
[24:42.000 --> 24:48.720]  to pull in all these Arab countries, what he's desperate for is political help, political
[24:48.720 --> 24:55.600]  endorsements from these people. It's about his ego politics. So he's boasting about his Iran War
[24:55.600 --> 25:01.360]  success during the Arlington Cemetery Memorial event. He mentions that 13 people died, but,
[25:01.920 --> 25:09.520]  interestingly enough, he doesn't care enough to say their names. Isn't that interesting? Say their
[25:09.520 --> 25:19.280]  names. You don't even care enough to say their names. Isn't it amazing? And so there could be no
[25:19.280 --> 25:25.040]  Independence Day without Memorial Day, said Trump, recalling the first battle between American and
[25:25.040 --> 25:29.840]  British forces at Lexington. Well, you know, there was something fundamentally different about that.
[25:30.880 --> 25:35.280]  At Lexington, we were not the aggressors. As a matter of fact, there was a lot of debate from
[25:35.280 --> 25:41.040]  both sides. Who fired the first shot? Well, we don't know, but it was a shot that was heard
[25:41.040 --> 25:45.440]  around the world, that type of thing, right? So nobody knows who fired the first shot. That has
[25:45.440 --> 25:50.320]  always been important. Why? Well, because we used to have societies in Western civilization that were
[25:50.320 --> 25:59.920]  based on the principles that Christ gave us. And that is that you don't start a war of aggression.
[25:59.920 --> 26:05.760]  You don't initiate violence. You can use violence to defend innocent life. That's what the purpose
[26:05.760 --> 26:12.400]  of government should be. But everybody was arguing about who fired first. We had the same situation.
[26:13.040 --> 26:18.160]  You know, with the Civil War, you had Abraham Lincoln, and Shelby Foote has an excellent
[26:20.160 --> 26:25.360]  history of the Civil War, I think is without a doubt the best, and I've read a lot of them,
[26:25.360 --> 26:32.000]  the best history of the Civil War ever. And he goes to great lengths to talk about what
[26:32.640 --> 26:38.640]  Abraham Lincoln was doing in terms of how was he going to maneuver to get the South to fire
[26:38.640 --> 26:42.480]  the first shot? And of course, he does it at Fort Sumter because he knows that there are some
[26:42.480 --> 26:49.200]  people there who are the most gung-ho for the war and ready to shoot. But also, it was about
[26:50.160 --> 26:56.640]  doing reinforcements in a way that would trigger a response that he could then portray as an
[26:56.640 --> 27:02.320]  initiation of force. It's always been about that. It was about that with FDR maneuvering Japan
[27:02.960 --> 27:06.880]  into this in a passive aggressive way, cutting off their oil and doing so many other things,
[27:06.880 --> 27:13.200]  and then standing down the defense so they could do an attack, and then calling it a day of infamy.
[27:13.840 --> 27:20.560]  And it was a day of infamy, even if you maneuver it. If the other side takes the bait, it is
[27:20.560 --> 27:26.800]  infamy. And it is infamy when we do it, when we do it without debate, when we do it without a goal,
[27:26.800 --> 27:33.280]  without a purpose, when we do it on the arbitrary whims of a wannabe dictator like Donald Trump.
[27:34.000 --> 27:41.600]  Remember that on Memorial Day. Remember who this guy is trying to continue wars for PR events.
[27:42.320 --> 27:47.520]  He doesn't even try to hide it. It's just like his corruption. It's right out in the open,
[27:47.520 --> 27:54.400]  in your face. He doesn't even have any shame about his crimes. That's what puts him in a totally
[27:54.400 --> 27:58.720]  different category than most of the other criminals that have occupied the Oval Office.
[27:59.440 --> 28:06.480]  At least they had shame. But we don't have shame with Donald Trump. It's just a shame that we
[28:06.480 --> 28:13.120]  have him. Not mentioned by name, the list of American service members who have died numbering
[28:13.120 --> 28:20.960]  13 so far as a result of the president's ongoing conflict with Iran. His ongoing conflict with
[28:20.960 --> 28:26.080]  Iran. Yeah, that's kind of whitewashing it, isn't it? That's from the Independent. So what
[28:26.080 --> 28:32.560]  did they die for? These 13 people. And what is he ready to send more people in to die for?
[28:33.520 --> 28:40.160]  For nuclear dust, which he said was a PR event. And of course, you got people like Ben Shapiro,
[28:40.160 --> 28:46.240]  Mark Levin, demanding that we attack Karagalan, demanding that other people go die
[28:46.880 --> 28:54.480]  for their country, Israel. Their country is not America. So again, in two wars recently,
[28:55.120 --> 29:01.680]  we've lost a total of 13 service members, said Trump. In Venezuela, which was a complete and
[29:01.680 --> 29:08.240]  total victory, we took that over in one day and we lost no one. Well, here's the rationale, okay?
[29:08.240 --> 29:15.280]  So it doesn't matter if we kill innocent lives as long as the people who follow me don't get hurt,
[29:15.280 --> 29:22.080]  right? And we're going to take a look at bombs and body counts. And that's going to be the formula
[29:23.040 --> 29:28.560]  that tells us whether we're winning. That was McNamara's formula in Vietnam. It led to
[29:29.360 --> 29:35.760]  Pyrrhic victories because of the mismanagement of what he was doing with it. They had no strategic
[29:35.760 --> 29:41.840]  goals. And so they just talked about their tactics of bombing people. Well, when we talk about bombs,
[29:42.480 --> 29:47.840]  this article from Free Thought Project, from Asia to the Middle East, U.S. bombs are a failed foreign
[29:47.840 --> 29:54.000]  policy choice. I didn't write it down. I meant to look the guy up, but there was a guy who,
[29:55.200 --> 30:00.560]  he was not in the military, but he started looking at our wars and this whole idea of air power
[30:01.520 --> 30:06.000]  projecting this and how we're going to win. And that really is fundamentally one of the,
[30:06.880 --> 30:13.840]  from the military standpoint, that is the lie, the misjudgment that has caused us to lose so many of
[30:13.840 --> 30:19.840]  these wars. But then, of course, there's also a moral aspect of that and a moral aspect of whether
[30:19.840 --> 30:24.720]  or not we are going to be lied into a war, whether or not we are the aggressors. This article from
[30:24.720 --> 30:30.400]  Free Thought Project, from Asia to the Middle East, U.S. bombs are a failed foreign policy choice.
[30:31.200 --> 30:37.840]  The only reliable products of U.S. air power are devastated civilian populations and suppression
[30:37.840 --> 30:41.840]  of internal movements. And I'm surprised that they didn't quote this guy. And I meant to look
[30:41.840 --> 30:48.320]  him up. I've forgotten his name right now. But he made a very detailed study of this and he started
[30:48.320 --> 30:55.200]  getting, he just kind of fell into it. It's kind of interesting how he got involved in it. He was
[30:55.200 --> 30:59.920]  a different kind of analyst, but he just started looking at the results of these types of bombing
[30:59.920 --> 31:05.440]  campaigns. And, of course, he came to the conclusion that many of us can see, that what this does
[31:06.400 --> 31:14.160]  is it galvanizes the civilian population behind even a bad leader. The U.S.-Israeli war in Iran
[31:14.160 --> 31:19.360]  opened not with a declaration, not with diplomacy exhausted, but with airstrikes.
[31:20.000 --> 31:25.680]  Among the first confirmed casualties, of course, a few hundred, more than a hundred school children
[31:25.680 --> 31:31.440]  killed in a strike on the elementary school in southern Iran. Within a month, 850 U.S.-made
[31:31.440 --> 31:37.040]  Tomahawk missiles were used to strike Iran. Of course, Trump and Hicks have lied about that.
[31:37.040 --> 31:40.400]  They said, that's not us. And then when people point out, well, that's a Tomahawk. Well, Iran's
[31:40.400 --> 31:48.000]  got Tomahawks. No way. No way. Finally, after months of lying, the Pentagon has admitted the
[31:48.000 --> 31:53.200]  truth. They did it. Oh, we made a mistake. We won't do it again. You know, just like the pandemic
[31:53.200 --> 31:59.920]  nonsense. So Trump has delivered on his promise to bomb Iran back to the Stone Ages, targeting
[31:59.920 --> 32:04.240]  bridges, pharmaceutical and steel plants, civilian infrastructure, like schools and hospitals.
[32:05.200 --> 32:10.880]  The civilian oil infrastructure in Tehran has been targeted, engulfing a city of 10 million people
[32:11.600 --> 32:17.120]  in toxic black rain. Thousands of Iranian and Lebanese have been killed, and hundreds of
[32:17.120 --> 32:22.960]  thousands of workers have lost their jobs as factories and basic infrastructure.
[32:22.960 --> 32:28.000]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[32:28.000 --> 32:33.520]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[32:33.520 --> 32:38.400]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[32:38.400 --> 32:43.040]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where
[32:43.040 --> 32:47.840]  you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of those
[32:47.840 --> 32:52.720]  constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into something
[32:52.720 --> 32:57.840]  bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. Summer's got
[32:57.840 --> 33:03.200]  its own soundtrack, too. You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you,
[33:03.200 --> 33:08.080]  that feeling of staying open to whatever's next. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you

[34:08.880 --> 34:16.320]  I've been destroyed. Washington calls this national security. The historical record calls
[34:16.320 --> 34:22.000]  it something else entirely. For more than 75 years, the U.S. has reached for air power
[34:22.560 --> 34:29.680]  as its preferred instrument of foreign policy. I would say along with coups and assassinations
[34:29.680 --> 34:36.480]  because we are a country that is now governed by the CIA and the intelligence agencies as well as
[34:36.480 --> 34:44.000]  influence from Israel. The illusion that enough bombs dropped with enough precision can produce
[34:44.000 --> 34:51.920]  the outcomes that diplomacy did not. And go back to Korea and the Korean War. As a Korean American,
[34:52.560 --> 35:00.560]  Cathy Choi of Women Cross DMZ knows this history personally. From 1950 to 53 during the Korean War,
[35:01.200 --> 35:13.440]  U.S. forces dropped 635 tons of bombs, 32,000 tons of napalm, burning 80 percent of North Korean
[35:13.440 --> 35:20.960]  cities to the ground. One year into the war, Major General Emmett O'Donnell testified to the Senate,
[35:21.600 --> 35:26.960]  there aren't any more targets in Korea. More than four million people were killed,
[35:27.920 --> 35:36.000]  the overwhelming majority of them civilians. 73 years later, the war has only ended in a ceasefire,
[35:36.000 --> 35:42.640]  not even in a treaty, and the peninsula has remained in a stalemate ever since. So with all
[35:42.640 --> 35:50.720]  of those bombs, with all of that civilian death, they couldn't achieve even a treaty, let alone
[35:50.720 --> 35:58.640]  victory. The Korean War inaugurated the U.S. military industrial complex. It quadrupled the
[35:58.640 --> 36:05.120]  Pentagon's budget in just three years. It set a course from which Washington has never turned back.
[36:05.120 --> 36:12.080]  You know, I think we look at a lot of presidents. We look at Woodrow Wilson and he is condemned
[36:12.080 --> 36:16.640]  rightfully so for lying us into World War I, you know, promising we're not going to get into war
[36:16.640 --> 36:22.800]  and so forth, dragging us into that, using Edward Bernays to propagandize the American population,
[36:22.800 --> 36:31.200]  who then went on to propagandize Americans with Madison Avenue sales ads and things like that.
[36:31.200 --> 36:38.240]  But Truman, who's typically only remembered for Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and people try to
[36:39.040 --> 36:44.320]  excuse what he did there. I don't think there's any excuse for it. I used to buy that narrative,
[36:44.320 --> 36:49.840]  oh well, they did that to end the war. Well, if you stop and think about it critically,
[36:49.840 --> 36:55.520]  whether or not that was true, wouldn't it be even more effective to use the nuclear bombs against,
[36:55.520 --> 37:01.040]  you know, they always say, well, we didn't want to spend all of the soldiers' lives going from
[37:01.040 --> 37:07.520]  island to island to clear out these Japanese. Don't you think if they dropped, if the bomb
[37:07.520 --> 37:11.040]  caused them to surrender, don't you think that they could just do that on the islands
[37:12.080 --> 37:17.680]  and focus on the combatants rather than on non-combatants? But of course, many people
[37:17.680 --> 37:23.440]  pointed out that it was Russia that had taken a break after the war in Europe had ended,
[37:23.440 --> 37:30.240]  but was now massing forces to join with their military. That was really the deciding factor
[37:30.240 --> 37:35.920]  rather than the bombing of the civilian population. Nevertheless, it's not just that that he did.
[37:36.560 --> 37:41.760]  It was Truman who created the national security state. It was Truman who created these secret
[37:41.760 --> 37:47.520]  agencies. You know, the CIA and of course the NSA was created by an executive order.
[37:48.400 --> 37:52.160]  And these are the people, this is the form of government where you're not allowed to know
[37:52.160 --> 38:02.000]  anything. He created this black box, this black government of secrecy, of wars and coups and
[38:02.000 --> 38:08.240]  assassinations. This is a creature of Harry Truman. He should be remembered for that.
[38:09.440 --> 38:16.480]  And he deserves a special place in history and a special place in hell. That's what we should
[38:16.480 --> 38:22.320]  remember. We should have a memorial day for the presidents and what they have done to our country
[38:22.320 --> 38:29.360]  and the people that they have killed, including the military. Danny Hendrickson, an advocacy group
[38:29.360 --> 38:38.000]  called Legacies of War, went to Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. From 1964 to 60 to 73, U.S. pilots
[38:38.000 --> 38:45.840]  flew 580,000 bombing missions over Laos alone, the equivalent of a plane load of bombs every
[38:45.840 --> 38:56.160]  eight minutes around the clock for nine years straight. An estimated 80 million unexploded
[38:56.160 --> 39:01.440]  cluster munitions remain in the soil. Less than 10 percent of them have been cleared.
[39:02.320 --> 39:08.640]  During her visit in 2025, five boys who were digging for crabs struck a cluster munition.
[39:09.280 --> 39:15.040]  One was completely blinded, another lost his hand. She visited a fourth grade classroom where the
[39:15.040 --> 39:20.800]  children asked her, why did the U.S. drop the bombs? Why is it taking so long to clean them up?
[39:21.440 --> 39:26.880]  Do you think Laos will ever be bomb-free? The war for them is not over.
[39:29.120 --> 39:36.080]  Why do we not memorialize things like this? It's all about flag waving and putting wreaths
[39:36.080 --> 39:42.400]  on the graves of Americans who have been killed over these useless policies, over these evil
[39:42.400 --> 39:49.120]  policies. Afghanistan, after two decades of bombing, produced not stability but the conditions for just
[39:49.120 --> 39:54.240]  the opposite. One person living there said, the war was started with the U.S. saying we need to
[39:54.240 --> 40:01.760]  free the Afghan people, and the war was ended by saying, your freedom is now over. They handed
[40:01.760 --> 40:06.720]  power back to the very people that they were bombing, that they were supposed to have defeated.
[40:06.720 --> 40:11.920]  And Iraq followed the same arc. The 2003 invasion of Iraq didn't find any weapons of mass destruction,
[40:11.920 --> 40:17.200]  of course, because they never existed. And it was a lie. And Trump called it out as a lie when he
[40:17.200 --> 40:23.520]  was a candidate in 2016. This is why we had some hope for him. I mean, even Julian Assange, who
[40:23.520 --> 40:30.080]  the Trump administration and Mike Pompeo tried to kill, and he said, well, we know what Hillary
[40:30.080 --> 40:35.200]  Clinton is. We know she's a warmonger. We know she's a criminal. Do we know, especially now
[40:35.200 --> 40:40.960]  in this second term, there is absolutely no question that Trump is a criminal. There's no
[40:40.960 --> 40:48.080]  question that he's a warmonger. So here we are. What they found was that Iraq itself proceeded to,
[40:48.880 --> 40:54.800]  they said, instead of finding the weapons of mass destruction, what they found was Iraq. And they
[40:54.800 --> 41:02.000]  proceeded to destroy it, perhaps a million dead, millions more displaced. Well, airstrikes cannot
[41:02.000 --> 41:09.600]  weaken a government sufficiently to produce regime change. And they quote someone else,
[41:09.600 --> 41:17.280]  Farrah Jinn writes this from the University of Pennsylvania. But again, the best case made for
[41:17.280 --> 41:24.160]  this is the guy whose name I can't remember. I forgot to look up. Decades of research on the
[41:24.160 --> 41:32.640]  rally around the flag effect. You see, this is the rally around the flag effect. The tendency of
[41:32.640 --> 41:39.760]  populations to unite behind their government when attacked by foreign power confirms that
[41:39.760 --> 41:47.360]  external attacks fuse regime and nation, even when the citizens despise their leaders.
[41:48.240 --> 41:54.240]  It does not topple governments. It consolidates them. And didn't we see this in Iran? You know,
[41:54.240 --> 42:00.400]  we had these massade generated, for the most part, protests in Iran. I don't know how much of that
[42:00.400 --> 42:07.200]  was organic. I don't know how much of that was astroturf by foreign espionage. Nevertheless,
[42:07.200 --> 42:14.960]  whatever it was, that stopped when the US started bombing. The fantasy that they told themselves,
[42:14.960 --> 42:21.440]  which again, Ratcliffe of the CIA, kudos to him for saying what the Israelis, what Netanyahu and
[42:22.160 --> 42:30.160]  the massade chief told you, is farcical. It's farcical. It is a fantasy that they're selling
[42:30.160 --> 42:36.960]  you. The fantasy was that there were riots in the streets. How much of that was fomented by them,
[42:36.960 --> 42:41.840]  we don't know. And that with those riots in the streets, once the bombing started, people were
[42:41.840 --> 42:47.600]  going to attack their own government. That has never happened. It didn't happen when the Nazis
[42:47.600 --> 42:53.440]  attacked London. It didn't happen when the Allies responded and attacked Dresden. That has never
[42:53.440 --> 43:00.320]  happened. Instead, what happens, people turn to their government to protect them from this aggression
[43:00.880 --> 43:06.960]  that is outside. Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea,
[43:06.960 --> 43:12.320]  one direction, and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the
[43:12.320 --> 43:17.120]  beauty of it. For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people,
[43:17.120 --> 43:22.480]  new ideas. You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly
[43:22.480 --> 43:27.200]  where you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of
[43:27.200 --> 43:32.000]  those constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into
[43:32.000 --> 43:37.280]  something bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. The summer's
[43:37.280 --> 43:42.880]  got its own soundtrack, too. You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you,
[43:42.960 --> 43:47.760]  that feeling of staying open to whatever's next. Sometimes it's the smallest things that lock you
[43:47.760 --> 43:53.440]  into that moment. What you're holding, what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher

[44:48.480 --> 44:52.080]  And so that's exactly what happened in Iran. It was predictable. We'd seen it throughout
[44:52.080 --> 44:56.400]  history over and over again. What happened was when they started bombing the infrastructure.
[44:56.400 --> 45:00.560]  Remember when Trump said, I'm going to bomb you back into the stone ages? Remember, that was when
[45:00.560 --> 45:05.280]  the people took to the streets. That was when the people started surrounding the infrastructure,
[45:06.000 --> 45:14.000]  using themselves voluntarily as shields. And I saw some clueless MAGA propagandists and some of
[45:14.000 --> 45:18.880]  the cult members who bought into it saying, oh, look at how horrible this is. They didn't make
[45:18.880 --> 45:28.320]  anybody do that. These are people saying, we're going to out you as ruthless murderers if you try
[45:28.320 --> 45:35.120]  to destroy our infrastructure. And they put their lives on the line to passively to stand
[45:35.120 --> 45:39.360]  there and to say, we're going to encircle this. If you blow up this bridge, if you blow up this
[45:39.360 --> 45:45.120]  factory, if you destroy our lives, that way you might as well kill us. And you're going to be
[45:45.120 --> 45:49.920]  seen as dropping a bomb on civilians who are trying to protect this infrastructure with their
[45:49.920 --> 45:57.440]  bodies. That's what happened. It did not create an uprising. It never creates an uprising. It always
[45:57.440 --> 46:02.640]  consolidates people around a regime. No matter how much they despise it, no matter how evil it is,
[46:03.440 --> 46:09.760]  it's the rally around the flag effect. Even as Iranian state has grown more repressive,
[46:09.760 --> 46:17.920]  they're still rallying around the flag. There is no internally generated political transformation
[46:17.920 --> 46:24.400]  that's happening. In fact, the people who are working for a political transformation say their
[46:24.400 --> 46:31.760]  work has now been set back for years or decades by what Trump has done, by the US military bombing
[46:31.760 --> 46:38.720]  them. Now the guys, and I've seen one of these guys making the rounds, and he has been consistently
[46:38.720 --> 46:43.920]  anti-American because of the Shah and that type of thing. He said, I would tell the college students
[46:43.920 --> 46:48.320]  that I teach in Iran, I would tell them what the Americans did with the Shah. I would tell them
[46:48.320 --> 46:52.640]  what happened and why we took over the embassy and all this kind of stuff. And they never would
[46:52.640 --> 46:59.040]  believe me that America was so evil. He goes, they believe me now. And that's exactly what has
[46:59.040 --> 47:05.520]  happened. That's what Trump has done. They handed the Iranian government exactly the external enemy
[47:05.520 --> 47:10.800]  it needed. See, governments will do this many times. They'll manufacture an external enemy
[47:10.800 --> 47:16.080]  by using a false flag attack. That's what our government does. And so they said this
[47:16.080 --> 47:23.040]  unjustifiable war on the Iranian people has undermined decades of social uprising and of
[47:23.040 --> 47:30.000]  people's struggles in Iran. So first we gave them regime change of the Shah. Then that produced the
[47:30.000 --> 47:35.680]  regime change of the Ayatollahs. And then when the Iranian people started to rise up against the
[47:35.680 --> 47:43.440]  Ayatollah's rule, what do we do? We come in and we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for them.
[47:44.400 --> 47:51.280]  This is a reliable product of US air power, hardened adversaries, devastated civilian
[47:51.280 --> 47:57.280]  populations and infrastructure, and the suppression of the very internal movements
[47:57.280 --> 48:04.400]  that might otherwise produce genuine change. And so when you look at this, what does the US,
[48:05.280 --> 48:10.560]  what would we see in the future for us? Well, we have so far been able to, one of the reasons
[48:10.640 --> 48:16.480]  that Americans are so cavalier about war and about the lives of people in other countries
[48:16.480 --> 48:20.320]  is because we have not suffered any consequences for this except for the people
[48:20.880 --> 48:27.600]  that we remember on Memorial Day who died to support the policies of these presidents.
[48:28.640 --> 48:34.560]  But I think that's going to change. The changing face of warfare is going to change all of that.
[48:34.560 --> 48:39.440]  The vulnerability of our infrastructure is going to change all that. The United States faces a
[48:39.440 --> 48:45.200]  genuine choice. It can continue to reach for air power each time it confronts a government it
[48:45.200 --> 48:53.200]  dislikes, perpetuating a cycle in which bombs kill civilians, harden regimes, destroy internal
[48:53.200 --> 48:59.200]  movements and leave behind unexploded ordinance for generations of children to find. Or it can
[48:59.200 --> 49:06.080]  reckon honestly with what 75 years of this doctrine have produced. And they can begin building a foreign
[49:06.080 --> 49:13.280]  policy that is grounded not on the fantasy of force, but in the reality of what peace
[49:13.280 --> 49:21.760]  actually requires. Bombs do not build peace. A bigger military does not produce prosperity,
[49:21.760 --> 49:26.560]  for the same reason that we can't tax our way to prosperity. And Donald Trump doesn't understand
[49:26.560 --> 49:32.400]  that either. He thinks we can tax our way to prosperity with tariffs. I was just talking to
[49:32.400 --> 49:39.760]  Lance last night about a guy who he's seen several GoFundMe projects where somebody said,
[49:39.760 --> 49:43.760]  I'm going to manufacture such and such a thing, and I'm going to do it completely domestically
[49:43.760 --> 49:49.600]  here in America. And even if it is something that's very simple, they can't do it. And we were just
[49:49.600 --> 49:56.720]  talking about another one that failed with that as well. Why draw an arbitrary line around the
[49:56.720 --> 50:03.120]  areas that you are allowed to do business with? Why let government do that? Again, Trump sees the
[50:03.120 --> 50:10.720]  world by flags, by his territory, by other people's territory. Don't let him control your life that
[50:10.720 --> 50:18.560]  way. We have to resist that kind of foolish thinking, that kind of narcissistic thinking,
[50:18.560 --> 50:23.920]  that kind of rally around the flag thinking. It has been there from the beginning of the Trump
[50:23.920 --> 50:32.400]  regime with his tariffs and telling us that he's going to tariff us into prosperity. And he's gone
[50:32.400 --> 50:40.240]  from a tariff pusher to a terror pusher, telling us that wars and exploding the size of our already
[50:40.240 --> 50:48.320]  bloated and incompetent as well as inefficient military that can't and won't pass an audit any
[50:48.320 --> 50:53.760]  more than the Federal Reserve will. They are above any of that kind of stuff. And don't you
[50:53.760 --> 50:58.960]  dare try to do it to get a missile through your window of your office. So yeah, Memorial Day,
[50:59.920 --> 51:05.440]  are we a society that can remember and learn anything? Maybe we should call it dementia day.
[51:05.440 --> 51:12.000]  That's what I see when I see all of these politicians hypocritically honoring and pretending
[51:12.000 --> 51:18.640]  that they care about the lives of people that they send to go die for their stupid policies,
[51:19.280 --> 51:24.640]  policies that make absolutely no sense, policies that would not help us if they were successful.
[51:26.000 --> 51:31.680]  Yeah, I think we need to have a memorial for the United States of amnesia, quite frankly.
[51:32.640 --> 51:37.440]  Skunk Hollow Rose Garden, thank you very much for the gift subscription to The David Knight Show.
[51:38.000 --> 51:45.360]  And Walrus says, we're paying for that in terms of the dead kid. That's right, absolutely. We paid
[51:45.360 --> 51:50.480]  for the bombs to blow these kids up. We give them the weapons, and that's what they do with it.
[51:50.480 --> 51:56.960]  Audi, Modern Retro Radio, these oligarchs who run government praise child sacrifice. Hence,
[51:56.960 --> 52:02.960]  the bombing of girls' schools and boys' schools in Iran. They were double taps. That's right.
[52:03.520 --> 52:07.920]  As I've pointed out several times, Scott Ritter has pointed out they know exactly what they were
[52:07.920 --> 52:12.000]  doing. They sent these cruise missiles in. They keep one back as a surveillance thing, waiting
[52:12.000 --> 52:17.760]  till they see a lot of activity on the ground. Then they send that one in, and it explodes,
[52:17.760 --> 52:24.880]  but also ignites its fuel for a firebomb, for the coup de grace. And again, how much did they know?
[52:24.880 --> 52:30.240]  Well, people who have been in this targeting business, and we've had CIA whistleblowers who
[52:30.320 --> 52:35.200]  have said they knew exactly what they were doing. They had the ability to see what was happening
[52:35.200 --> 52:39.680]  with these people. It wasn't just they see a bunch of dots moving around, let's go and move in.
[52:40.320 --> 52:45.200]  It was much worse than that, much worse. About the Civil War, Gard Goldsmith says,
[52:45.200 --> 52:49.920]  even if the rebels fired first, that's irrelevant because the Brits were engaged in the aggression,
[52:50.480 --> 52:56.000]  so the locals were right to defend even with a first shot. Well, I agree, absolutely. And
[52:56.640 --> 53:01.600]  you know, you have a right to defend your life, and that's what they were doing. They were doing
[53:01.600 --> 53:07.360]  aggression. However, they argue over who fired the first shot. My point was not whether they
[53:07.360 --> 53:13.920]  would be justified in doing it. My point was that everybody instinctively knew. We used to have a
[53:13.920 --> 53:18.400]  society that was built on Christian ethics, and everybody instinctively knew that you don't
[53:18.400 --> 53:22.000]  initiate for us. Now, if you initiate for us, now you've got some explaining to do, right,
[53:22.400 --> 53:30.640]  and if you fire first. But they wanted to make it clear that, you know, even in a situation where
[53:30.640 --> 53:36.720]  you've got a back and forth, maybe diplomacy is failing, or you've got other political issues,
[53:36.720 --> 53:42.080]  once you get to the point where you're firing first, it was always about painting the other
[53:42.080 --> 53:48.240]  side as the one who fired first, because everybody understood the moral calculation behind that.
[53:48.320 --> 53:54.240]  We don't anymore. We don't care anymore. We don't care who fired first. We don't care to debate
[53:54.240 --> 53:59.040]  whether or not this is a war that we need to be involved in. We don't wait until somebody attacks
[53:59.040 --> 54:04.960]  us. No, we do it preemptively. Let me say this. There is never a justification for a preemptive
[54:04.960 --> 54:11.280]  war. Never, ever. Nuclear bombs, I don't care. Look at Israel, what they have done. They have
[54:12.160 --> 54:17.440]  blackmailed us over and over again. They've attacked us. They've attacked the USS Liberty.
[54:17.440 --> 54:23.280]  They boast about blackmailing the United States with a nuclear bomb, which they stole from us,
[54:23.280 --> 54:29.360]  material that they stole from us. Patty Wax says, no wonder soldiers come home with their minds
[54:29.360 --> 54:35.920]  gone. That's right. Audi, Modern Retro Radio, he said, he applied, said an average of 22 soldiers
[54:35.920 --> 54:43.680]  veterans commit suicide daily. I'm sure that stat has inched upward in the more recent path. Yes,
[54:44.400 --> 54:49.120]  yes, you can't. It's difficult enough to go through the horrors of war,
[54:50.160 --> 54:57.040]  even if you're on the right side. Nabooru, 2029, says the Clintons put Trump in office in 2016
[54:57.600 --> 55:00.800]  to ensure the destruction of the Republican Party. Well, that certainly is the way that
[55:00.800 --> 55:07.120]  it's working out, isn't it? As I said, he's going to be the Jimmy Carter on steroids
[55:07.840 --> 55:11.920]  for the Republican Party. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
[55:11.920 --> 55:16.160]  Stay with us.
[56:41.920 --> 56:52.960]  Making sense. Common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[56:57.120 --> 57:02.160]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[57:02.160 --> 57:07.680]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[57:07.680 --> 57:12.560]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.

[58:36.640 --> 59:00.960]  Well, welcome back, folks. I'm Julius. Shameless plug here. As I said, we're getting close to the
[59:00.960 --> 59:05.840]  end of the month and the gas gauge is still pretty low. I'll also plug a few things for you from
[59:06.080 --> 59:11.520]  people who support the show as sponsors. We have Civil Defense Manual. Of course, that is
[59:11.520 --> 59:18.960]  Jack Lawson books. It's one of the things that you can use to prepare for the kinds of catastrophes
[59:18.960 --> 59:22.720]  that I think are down the road. I don't know how far down the road they are, but they are down the
[59:22.720 --> 59:29.200]  road. Things like Civil Defense Manual, things like gold and silver. You can go to davidknight.gold,
[59:29.200 --> 59:34.480]  take you to Tony Arterbon at Wise Wolf Gold. It's important to prepare for that kind of stuff.
[59:35.120 --> 59:41.360]  It's important to have the information to know how to operate. You need to have some money,
[59:41.360 --> 59:45.840]  some real money, some gold and silver that is going to be physical. You need to have the
[59:45.840 --> 59:51.840]  understanding that you can find from this two-volume book that Jack Lawson sells. It's
[59:51.840 --> 59:56.000]  an excellent resource that's there. He puts it out in a book form because he says,
[59:56.000 --> 01:00:01.360]  hey, if this stuff hits the fan, you're probably not going to have a computer or electricity to
[01:00:01.360 --> 01:00:07.120]  read it. So here it is in a paper format. It's always good to be able to prepare for stuff like
[01:00:07.120 --> 01:00:12.640]  that. I would say as well, when we look at what is happening, we've got the Trump administration
[01:00:14.320 --> 01:00:21.600]  and this is the EPA administrator, Lee Zeldin, along with RFK Jr. coming out and saying,
[01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:26.960]  we're going to remove the restrictions on PFAs that were put in by the Biden administration
[01:00:27.040 --> 01:00:32.560]  because Biden didn't do it legally. Well, that may be true. I just wonder what has Trump done
[01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:39.280]  that follows the law or the constitution? Name one thing that he's done that actually respects
[01:00:39.280 --> 01:00:43.360]  the law or the constitution. And so when you look at that, it's pretty clear the government doesn't
[01:00:43.360 --> 01:00:48.240]  care about your health. We've got another story about a woman who posted on Facebook in the
[01:00:48.240 --> 01:00:54.240]  city in Texas where the water was actually coming out brown and she was warning people
[01:00:54.240 --> 01:00:59.920]  about the quality of the water. So the police chief arrested her under bomb threat. He said,
[01:00:59.920 --> 01:01:02.640]  you're scaring people of this stuff. Well, she was telling them the truth about it.
[01:01:03.360 --> 01:01:06.720]  Well, the truth is there's a lot of garbage that's being put in and the
[01:01:06.720 --> 01:01:10.880]  MAHA people aren't helping you. The government is not there to look at this stuff. So again,
[01:01:11.600 --> 01:01:15.840]  I'll mention another resource that I'm proud to support and that's RNC stores.
[01:01:16.480 --> 01:01:22.400]  You can go to RNC stores and they have a wealth of information there about cancer and about help
[01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:28.400]  in general. You can get books there from G. Edward Griffin, A World Without Cancer. You can also get
[01:01:30.720 --> 01:01:37.840]  B-17 either in the form of natural apricot seeds or you can get it if you have trouble chewing
[01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.360]  seeds or whatever. You can also get it because it is pretty bitter, but you can also get it in a
[01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:50.400]  pill form. And that has been found to be very good as a deterrent as well as aiding in the healing
[01:01:50.400 --> 01:01:56.800]  process. So again, educate yourself about that. Go to rncstores.com and they have a code that you
[01:01:56.800 --> 01:02:06.720]  can get 10% off with with night. And then I'll also mention home products. Give me the email
[01:02:06.720 --> 01:02:13.600]  address for that. It's home products and they have a lot of really great natural products
[01:02:13.600 --> 01:02:17.280]  that you can avoid some of the ultra processed stuff that's out there.
[01:02:18.240 --> 01:02:24.080]  And I'll get that email address for you here or their website address here. My memory is failing
[01:02:24.080 --> 01:02:30.560]  me here, sorry. I have to make a memorial about that, memorialize it. Let's talk a little bit
[01:02:30.560 --> 01:02:36.240]  about the AI stuff though. It's kind of interesting to see at the beginning of his
[01:02:38.080 --> 01:02:44.640]  papacy, I guess is what it word is. We're talking about homesteadproducts.shop. Yeah, homesteadproducts.shop.
[01:02:44.800 --> 01:02:50.640]  That's what confused me. You can think of it as .com. I knew it wasn't .com. Homesteadproducts.shop.
[01:02:50.640 --> 01:02:56.720]  They have some sales there. Molasses is on sale right now. And they have excellent natural products.
[01:02:56.720 --> 01:03:01.120]  Everything that's there is natural. It's a great resource. And again, as someone who supports the
[01:03:01.120 --> 01:03:06.880]  show. Let's talk a little bit about the pope and his encyclical. And of course, the pope that he
[01:03:06.880 --> 01:03:13.920]  replaced, Pope Francis is hardcore Marxist. He began with an encyclical about climate.
[01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:21.600]  And the guy that he had writing that for him was a guy who had been a big part of the depopulation
[01:03:21.600 --> 01:03:29.520]  movement. But this encyclical at least is about something that is a real problem. AI is a real
[01:03:29.520 --> 01:03:34.240]  problem. And what he had to say, some of it I actually agree with. He said, we need to be
[01:03:34.240 --> 01:03:38.400]  slowing things down, which is exactly the opposite of what Silicon Valley is doing.
[01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:44.000]  Silicon Valley operates as accelerationism, right? Their motto is, we've got to move fast
[01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:47.920]  and break things. Well, some of the things that they want to break, we don't want broken.
[01:03:48.720 --> 01:03:54.080]  And so we should think about this. And of course, nobody in government is thinking about it except
[01:03:54.080 --> 01:04:00.320]  how they can remove any obstacles for the billionaires in Silicon Valley that give them money.
[01:04:01.040 --> 01:04:05.600]  They're very easily bought, aren't they? And so this is another group that has bought them.
[01:04:06.720 --> 01:04:15.200]  And again, he talks about the Tower of Babel. And I think there are a lot of analogies to this,
[01:04:15.200 --> 01:04:20.880]  and I've talked about that in the past. I look at it in a different way than he does. He sees
[01:04:20.880 --> 01:04:25.600]  the pride, which is obviously there in the story of the Tower of Babel. But there was something
[01:04:25.680 --> 01:04:30.400]  else in it. And I mentioned this at least once before, the group that I was in at Texas
[01:04:30.400 --> 01:04:35.760]  Instruments. And I've thought about this. The more I look at AI, the more I think about the
[01:04:35.760 --> 01:04:43.280]  Tower of Babel. So they got my attention a lot yesterday. And the story of Babel is that
[01:04:44.480 --> 01:04:50.320]  God looked at what was being built there. And he said, the whole earth is of one language.
[01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:54.400]  Essentially, he was saying, this is just the beginning if we don't stop it here.
[01:04:54.400 --> 01:05:01.200]  He said, nothing they do will now be impossible for them if they all work together collectively.
[01:05:01.200 --> 01:05:06.960]  That's precisely what technology has been able to do in the latter part of the 20th century onto
[01:05:06.960 --> 01:05:15.520]  our own current time. I saw that as an engineer. And again, my first job that I was working at
[01:05:15.520 --> 01:05:21.920]  Texas Instruments, I was part of a group that was going to be doing liaison with other companies.
[01:05:21.920 --> 01:05:28.080]  At that point in time, Texas Instruments was not fabulous. Texas Instruments was manufacturing
[01:05:29.200 --> 01:05:34.000]  semiconductors. And so we were going to help people to do semi-custom semiconductors.
[01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:42.480]  I was the American and they had a German, a French, a Brit, a Japanese guy. And it was interesting
[01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:48.800]  because some of them could speak English, some of them couldn't. The German guy could speak
[01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:54.240]  a little bit of English, but the French and the Japanese guy spoke no English at all.
[01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:59.200]  They could read English and they could read computer programming languages.
[01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:04.640]  And so that was a key thing. And I know when I was thinking about going to graduate school,
[01:06:05.600 --> 01:06:09.680]  most graduate schools have a foreign language requirement, but of course they would substitute
[01:06:09.680 --> 01:06:14.960]  computer languages for that because it is a language. And now where we are with artificial
[01:06:15.040 --> 01:06:20.560]  intelligence is we're basically an hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy world. We don't have to put
[01:06:20.560 --> 01:06:27.360]  a babblefish in our ear. There's no fish in the ear to be able to speak other people's language.
[01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:32.160]  No, you can get that with a phone. You can have a phone conversation where it'll instantly,
[01:06:32.160 --> 01:06:36.320]  you're talking to somebody in Spanish, it'll translate what they're saying in Spanish to you
[01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:42.080]  in English, and then you can speak after you read it and it'll send it back to them and their
[01:06:42.080 --> 01:06:48.640]  language. So you have erased the language barrier and it's that ability to create
[01:06:49.280 --> 01:06:54.080]  a networked human intelligence that is really the force behind all this. This is the thing
[01:06:54.080 --> 01:07:00.240]  that I think people are missing about artificial intelligence. What is bringing things like AI and
[01:07:00.240 --> 01:07:07.440]  other things like that to fruition is the fact that we have this collective intelligence of
[01:07:07.440 --> 01:07:13.280]  humanity that now has a platform for being able to combine it all at the same time. And I think
[01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:20.320]  that's a real key issue. And it is really what happened with the Tower of Babel is why God
[01:07:21.040 --> 01:07:27.040]  changed the languages. And by the way, secular historians, anthropologists will look at this
[01:07:27.040 --> 01:07:30.960]  and say, well, you know, it's kind of interesting. We don't know where these civilizations,
[01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:35.360]  quote unquote, evolved from. They just kind of sprung up all of a sudden and they sprung up at
[01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:41.280]  the same time. It's one of the reasons why they refer to the area there, the Plain of Shinar,
[01:07:41.280 --> 01:07:46.160]  that the Bible talks about, where the Tower of Babel was, where everybody had come together
[01:07:46.160 --> 01:07:51.280]  and where God dispersed them. They talk about that as the cradle of civilization.
[01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:56.960]  Why would they say that? Well, there's evidence that these different nations came from that area
[01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:05.760]  and you had these European, Indo, India, China, Europe, all these different civilizations sprung
[01:08:05.760 --> 01:08:11.520]  up at about the same time. And of course, you can see different commonality between different
[01:08:11.520 --> 01:08:17.440]  languages as well. Isn't it interesting that in almost every language you have the word mama?
[01:08:18.560 --> 01:08:23.840]  It's always there. Papa is close to it, but it changes in different places, right? It may be
[01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:30.160]  in Turkey and in China, it was baba. That was what our daughter from China called me for a while,
[01:08:30.160 --> 01:08:38.880]  was baba. But mama was the same thing everywhere, right? And so there's these commonalities that
[01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:44.480]  are there that really are interesting. And of course, many linguists and anthropologists will
[01:08:45.040 --> 01:08:51.920]  go through all this and look at it, but the facts support the biblical narrative. Again,
[01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:58.640]  people reject that because of the supernatural aspect of it. But I think that the more we learn,
[01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:03.760]  the more we see that there is a supernatural world. And I think it is foolish in the extreme
[01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:09.040]  to reject that. It's quite clear that all the things that we see came from things that we
[01:09:09.040 --> 01:09:16.160]  cannot see. It's just a logical conclusion to draw from all this. So he's out there sounding
[01:09:16.160 --> 01:09:22.240]  the alarm about AI and telling governments that they need to slow this thing down.
[01:09:22.800 --> 01:09:27.840]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:33.360]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[01:09:33.360 --> 01:09:38.240]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[01:09:38.240 --> 01:09:42.880]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where
[01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:47.600]  you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of those
[01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:52.560]  constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into something
[01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:57.840]  bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. Summer's got its
[01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:03.280]  own soundtrack, too. You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you, that
[01:10:03.280 --> 01:10:07.760]  feeling of staying open to whatever's next. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock
[01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:12.800]  you into that moment. What you're holding, what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly
[01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:18.880]  Refresher from Starbucks. Guava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.
[01:10:19.600 --> 01:10:24.560]  Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for the day that's still unfolding.
[01:10:24.560 --> 01:10:30.160]  And that's the thing. Sometimes, one small stop changes the whole mood of your day.
[01:10:30.160 --> 01:10:36.320]  Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.

[01:11:13.600 --> 01:11:19.360]  want to get, already have control of it. And they want to use their control of AI to control us.
[01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:26.000]  And one of the people commenting on this made that point. It's the same point that Madison made.
[01:11:26.720 --> 01:11:31.120]  Because men are not angels, we need to have government. But because men are running the
[01:11:31.120 --> 01:11:36.560]  government, we have to have something else. Who watches the watchers? Who controls these
[01:11:36.560 --> 01:11:40.880]  people who have this kind of power? And that's the fundamental flaw in calling for government
[01:11:40.880 --> 01:11:47.440]  intervention on all this stuff like that. No, I think the reality is that we need to call on
[01:11:47.440 --> 01:11:52.800]  God to save us from this stuff. Because he's done it before, he'll do it again if he feels
[01:11:53.440 --> 01:11:56.880]  threatened. If he feels his people are threatened, he will do something about it.
[01:11:56.960 --> 01:12:03.600]  And there are indications that there may be some self-limitations and some internal time bombs
[01:12:04.160 --> 01:12:09.600]  on this thing we call artificial intelligence. But whether or not it's going to be taken down by
[01:12:10.640 --> 01:12:16.960]  its own hubris or by its own tactics, God will take it down if it gets out of control. So we
[01:12:16.960 --> 01:12:22.640]  don't need to fear that. But we should try to restrain it as much as we can. So the Pope is
[01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:27.600]  sounding the alarm over AI and its impact on children, for example. Well, of course,
[01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:34.320]  Melania is doing exactly the opposite, isn't she? She wants AI all over the kids. Oh, it's for their
[01:12:34.320 --> 01:12:40.560]  success, is it? Is it really? How is that going to really empower them? I don't see that as an
[01:12:40.560 --> 01:12:47.520]  empowering technology, frankly. Last May, he said the technology represents new challenges for the
[01:12:47.520 --> 01:12:56.560]  defense of human dignity, justice, and labor. And so, again, it's important, even if we don't have
[01:12:56.560 --> 01:13:01.520]  a solution, it's important for people to understand what the problem is, because we can
[01:13:01.520 --> 01:13:07.920]  collectively come up with a solution as well. It's that kind of, you know, collective wisdom
[01:13:07.920 --> 01:13:13.920]  of humans doesn't have to always be bad. It can sometimes be good. The Pope highlighted the need
[01:13:13.920 --> 01:13:21.520]  to openly discuss ethical frameworks to ensure that a select few do not control how it is applied.
[01:13:22.400 --> 01:13:27.920]  And so then he's asking for the select few of the government to control this. And quite frankly,
[01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:33.680]  the most dangerous outcomes of artificial intelligence are the ones that are connected
[01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:39.040]  to the government in terms of surveillance of police state and autonomous killing robots.
[01:13:39.040 --> 01:13:44.000]  Those are the greatest concerns. So why would we go to the government to save us from that?
[01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:49.440]  They're not going to do that. I mean, that's literally exactly what the government would do.
[01:13:49.440 --> 01:13:54.960]  It's a small group of people that's going to control how that's applied. That's right. That's
[01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:59.120]  right. And so he says what we need to do is we need to slow things down. But of course, that is
[01:13:59.120 --> 01:14:03.520]  not going to be the case. And immediately you had the US ambassador to the Vatican come out and say,
[01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:07.280]  well, this is we have to stay ahead of the Chinese for our own good and all this guy. So you have
[01:14:07.280 --> 01:14:12.400]  this arms race mentality that has always driven us in the wrong direction about everything.
[01:14:13.280 --> 01:14:18.560]  Fully autonomous lethal weapons for the mass surveillance of Americans was being pointed out.
[01:14:18.560 --> 01:14:26.000]  So again, a greater threat than our jobs. And that is the Orwellian aspect of it, the war of
[01:14:26.000 --> 01:14:33.360]  the machines terminator aspect of this. That is all much more serious than just the loss of our jobs.
[01:14:33.920 --> 01:14:40.080]  Lawmakers in the US have warned about the risk posed by AI, though they have not really come up
[01:14:40.080 --> 01:14:49.360]  with any solutions to control their power. And so you've got Bernie Sanders working alongside AOC,
[01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:57.200]  Alexandria Occasional Cortex. They are proposing legislation. They did this back in March
[01:14:57.200 --> 01:15:02.640]  to halt construction of new data centers until the federal government implements safeguards.
[01:15:03.360 --> 01:15:08.640]  Let me just say this. If conservatives and libertarians get on the wrong side of this,
[01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:15.920]  if they're not going to look at the ethical issues involved and the abuse issues, but just
[01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:21.760]  take a laissez-faire market approach to this, we could wind up with on the one end, we could wind
[01:15:21.760 --> 01:15:27.760]  up with a technocracy. Or on the other end, we could wind up with the reactionary communism of
[01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:34.400]  people like Bernie Sanders and AOC. She's already talking about how she wants to run for president.
[01:15:34.400 --> 01:15:42.000]  And even though that sounds laughable, we live in an idiocracy, folks. And so the question is,
[01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:48.400]  is this idiocracy going to turn towards technocracy or towards communism? To me,
[01:15:48.400 --> 01:15:53.360]  that's the real issue. So the Pope- Yeah, as ridiculous as an AOC presidency sounds,
[01:15:53.360 --> 01:15:59.760]  is she really any dumber than Donald Trump? Yeah, I don't know. Is her IQ lower than 73?
[01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:04.640]  I don't know. Oh, maybe. It's a race to the bottom, isn't it?
[01:16:07.120 --> 01:16:14.000]  It's a race to the bottom from the people at top. So the Pope writes this encyclical,
[01:16:14.000 --> 01:16:20.240]  which is called Magnifica Humanitis, on safeguarding the human person in the time
[01:16:20.240 --> 01:16:26.320]  of artificial intelligence. And I don't know if that means the greater humanity or if that
[01:16:26.320 --> 01:16:34.480]  means making humanity great again. Magnificus America. There he goes. Maga there. I don't know.
[01:16:35.040 --> 01:16:41.200]  Anyway, I don't speak Latin. So it condemns, rightfully, it condemns abortion,
[01:16:41.200 --> 01:16:45.440]  the killing of the innocent with euthanasia and a document that's dedicated to calling out
[01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:52.960]  the anti-human philosophies behind transhumanism and posthumanism. And again, we need to all call
[01:16:52.960 --> 01:17:00.240]  that out. And I hope that the Protestants are not late to this game like they were with abortion.
[01:17:01.280 --> 01:17:07.840]  It took a while for many people who were not Catholic to oppose. The Catholics were there
[01:17:07.840 --> 01:17:14.640]  opposing abortion long before evangelicals and others opposed it. And finally, they got on the
[01:17:14.640 --> 01:17:20.240]  right side of that issue. So this is very key. Human rights are inviolable, he says.
[01:17:20.240 --> 01:17:26.800]  And among those rights, the first is the right to life, from conception to natural end,
[01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:31.680]  without which it is impossible, of course, to exercise any other right. Well, you know,
[01:17:31.680 --> 01:17:38.080]  that is a concept which we really need to work at trying to get people to understand this.
[01:17:39.040 --> 01:17:46.720]  Here's a panel on one of the leftist news networks. They take exception with Mike Johnson
[01:17:46.720 --> 01:17:50.480]  quoting, essentially, the Declaration of Independence, that our rights come from God.
[01:17:50.480 --> 01:17:56.080]  They think that is somehow violating their imagined separation of church and state.
[01:17:56.960 --> 01:18:03.680]  What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from
[01:18:03.680 --> 01:18:09.840]  government. They come from you, our Creator, and Heavenly Father. Is this him putting God?
[01:18:09.840 --> 01:18:12.400]  It's actually Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence.
[01:18:13.280 --> 01:18:19.520]  Okay. Well, you know, I actually think that that idea is not wholly uncommon. I mean,
[01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:25.840]  the idea that we have certain inalienable rights that come from God can be read in a fairly benign
[01:18:25.840 --> 01:18:32.640]  way, which is basically that we have innate human rights that our Constitution and our
[01:18:33.200 --> 01:18:39.360]  democratic government are meant to codify, right? That idea is not totally abnormal.
[01:18:39.360 --> 01:18:45.600]  I think that the thing that might alarm some people is some of the rhetoric that we heard
[01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:52.160]  at this rally, that we are in a spiritual battle, right? That the forces of good and evil
[01:18:52.160 --> 01:19:00.560]  are at work here and that partisan politics is injected directly into the spiritual, biblical
[01:19:00.560 --> 01:19:05.760]  rhetoric. We have heard that for the last couple of years. It's been ratcheted up more and more,
[01:19:05.760 --> 01:19:11.920]  especially since Donald Trump lost in 2020. And it can lead to some pretty dangerous places if
[01:19:11.920 --> 01:19:18.880]  it's not kept in check. Kind of interesting, isn't it? Because it was Jefferson that they all
[01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:24.240]  appealed to for the separation of church and state. And yet it was Jefferson who said our rights are
[01:19:24.320 --> 01:19:31.760]  endowed on us by our Creator. So how could that be? We're now told that if you say the one thing
[01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:39.040]  that Jefferson said, well, then you are establishing a unification of church and state, which is what
[01:19:39.040 --> 01:19:44.880]  Jefferson was against. How do we reconcile these two things that are such a conflict in the minds
[01:19:44.880 --> 01:19:51.040]  of these people? Was it MSNBC or something like that? But it's pretty crazy, isn't it?
[01:19:51.040 --> 01:19:57.280]  Well, it's not difficult to reconcile that at all. Yes, we are endowed with basic human rights.
[01:19:57.840 --> 01:20:01.840]  And as the Declaration of Independence says, it's not just to codify them and list them,
[01:20:01.840 --> 01:20:08.080]  it's to protect them. That is the purpose of government, to protect those rights. And when
[01:20:08.080 --> 01:20:11.920]  the government becomes destructive of those rights, here's the part that they never want you
[01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:19.120]  to memorize and to repeat to them in school, which I realized. And they don't want you to finish the
[01:20:19.120 --> 01:20:23.920]  paragraph that when government becomes destructive of these rights given to us by our Creator,
[01:20:24.480 --> 01:20:32.640]  it is the right and the duty of the people to alter or abolish that government. That's
[01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:37.120]  the fundamental argument put right at the front of the Declaration of Independence.
[01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:43.840]  And so Jefferson, in terms of talking about that, he sees government as either a threat
[01:20:44.640 --> 01:20:50.800]  or a protector to our God-given rights. And so when he talks about a separation of church and
[01:20:50.800 --> 01:20:55.520]  state, if you look at what he actually said to the Danbury Baptists, he was talking about putting a
[01:20:55.520 --> 01:21:03.520]  wall around the government so that it did not attack our rights. And so it is completely,
[01:21:04.320 --> 01:21:09.840]  his point has been completely taken out of context, and it's been perverted by Supreme
[01:21:09.840 --> 01:21:14.800]  Court decisions. It's been repeated over and over again by the left. This whole separation
[01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:22.000]  of church and state has been used to try to censor any mention of God in the public sphere.
[01:21:22.000 --> 01:21:26.320]  It's not about that at all. And as far as a spiritual battle, I would agree with them.
[01:21:26.320 --> 01:21:32.640]  What Hegseth is saying in terms of, you have trained my hands for warfare and my fingers
[01:21:32.640 --> 01:21:37.920]  for battle, that is not about going to war with Iran. That is about a spiritual battle
[01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:44.960]  that is always there, but it is not about Iran. It can't be used to baptize their wars of aggression.
[01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:49.600]  Yes, Lance. I just think the beginning of this is really amazing. You talked over
[01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:53.440]  a key part of it. I'm going to just play the start of that again.
[01:21:53.440 --> 01:21:55.920]  I'll be quiet. What about this passage from
[01:21:56.800 --> 01:22:02.880]  Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government. They come from you,
[01:22:02.880 --> 01:22:09.200]  our Creator and Heavenly Father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence?
[01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:19.200]  Is quoting the Constitution against the Constitution. Is the idea that people are
[01:22:19.200 --> 01:22:26.080]  created with certain inalienable rights, is that against the Constitution? As no one on that panel
[01:22:26.080 --> 01:22:30.720]  read the Constitution at all, they're all just nodding like, hmm, yes, good point.
[01:22:31.040 --> 01:22:34.720]  They don't get anything about the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution, do they?
[01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:40.800]  Well, it is really sad and that is our responsibility. We need to train our
[01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:46.400]  children. We need to speak in public about this whenever we have the opportunity. We need to speak
[01:22:46.400 --> 01:22:52.960]  to people without being ashamed of the truth. Technology and dominance, the grandeur of humanity
[01:22:52.960 --> 01:22:59.520]  in the light of the promises of AI is a part of what he writes there. But he says, if the human
[01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:06.480]  being is treated as something to be perfected or surpassed, it becomes easier to accept that some
[01:23:06.480 --> 01:23:14.240]  lives are less useful, less desirable, less worthy. So that is the path under which we
[01:23:16.320 --> 01:23:24.160]  kill people who have Down syndrome like Grace. Sure. And that is the path in which we worship
[01:23:24.160 --> 01:23:31.600]  people like Elon Musk. Folks, your worth is not your net worth in your bank account.
[01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:39.360]  Elon Musk may be the richest man that ever lived. He is absolutely not the greatest man
[01:23:39.360 --> 01:23:46.080]  who ever lived, not even close. And again, one day he will, if he has the chance in this life
[01:23:46.720 --> 01:23:52.880]  to think about it and actually does think about it, he needs to answer the question that Jesus
[01:23:52.880 --> 01:23:57.840]  said rhetorically, what is the profit of man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
[01:23:59.200 --> 01:24:04.720]  What is the profit to that? What is the profit to be the world's first trillionaire? Many people think
[01:24:04.720 --> 01:24:10.400]  that will be what happens when SpaceX has its public offering, that he will become the world's
[01:24:10.400 --> 01:24:17.280]  first trillionaire. So what? I mean, he can't spend all of that money in a lifetime, no matter
[01:24:17.280 --> 01:24:25.120]  how hard he tried really. So he points out, it is one thing to integrate technology within a human
[01:24:25.120 --> 01:24:31.680]  centered relational vision. It is quite another to be guided by an outlook that devalues human
[01:24:31.680 --> 01:24:39.200]  limits and promises a purely technical form of salvation. And again, you could go back and be
[01:24:39.200 --> 01:24:46.320]  more direct about what the transhumanists want. It is the foundational satanic lie from the fall of
[01:24:46.320 --> 01:24:53.680]  man that you will become like God and you will live forever. That is what they're offering people
[01:24:53.680 --> 01:24:59.440]  and it is a lie straight from the pit of hell. Hey, what up y'all? Summer moves like a great jam
[01:24:59.440 --> 01:25:05.040]  session. You start with one idea, one direction, and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes.
[01:25:05.040 --> 01:25:10.320]  You take a detour. That's the beauty of it. For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds,
[01:25:10.320 --> 01:25:15.280]  new places, new people, new ideas. You start one place, end up somewhere completely different.
[01:25:15.280 --> 01:25:20.480]  Somehow, that's exactly where you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way.
[01:25:20.480 --> 01:25:24.560]  Starbucks has been one of those constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig,
[01:25:24.560 --> 01:25:28.960]  and between conversations that turn into something bigger than you expected. It's part of that
[01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:34.800]  movement, part of that rhythm. Summer's got its own soundtrack too. You can almost hear it without
[01:25:34.800 --> 01:25:39.600]  trying. Life's happening all around you, that feeling of staying open to whatever's next.
[01:25:39.600 --> 01:25:44.240]  Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment. What you're holding,
[01:25:44.240 --> 01:25:50.400]  what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks. Quava and passion fruit
[01:25:50.400 --> 01:25:57.040]  flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls. Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for
[01:25:57.040 --> 01:26:02.880]  the day that's still unfolding. And that's the thing. Sometimes, one small stop changes the whole
[01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:09.600]  mood of your day. Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher
[01:26:09.600 --> 01:26:10.400]  from Starbucks.
[01:26:39.760 --> 01:26:50.400]  And so, one of the things that LifeSite News points out is the fact that the pope says that
[01:26:50.400 --> 01:26:57.840]  the just war theory is outdated. Well, no, it actually isn't. I mean, morality does not change.
[01:26:57.840 --> 01:27:04.480]  It doesn't evolve, right? We don't have a morality that is based on situations. We have a morality
[01:27:04.480 --> 01:27:10.240]  that is based on principles, so we don't have a morality at all. And so, the nature of government,
[01:27:10.240 --> 01:27:16.560]  the nature of human beings has not changed. The morality of the just war theory has not changed.
[01:27:16.560 --> 01:27:22.160]  You may disagree with it, but it hasn't become outdated. It's not something that worked at one
[01:27:22.160 --> 01:27:28.400]  point in time and now doesn't work anymore. It's something that has been ignored. And so, he says,
[01:27:28.960 --> 01:27:34.000]  he compares two opposing approaches. He said, the first being the temptation of constructing
[01:27:34.000 --> 01:27:39.600]  the Tower of Babel, relying on power and on pride. And the second one is the patience required
[01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:46.800]  in order to rebuild Jerusalem piece by piece, as Nehemiah did when they came back from Babylonian
[01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:52.320]  exile. And it's kind of interesting. You know, that was an analogy that was used by Spurgeon,
[01:27:53.680 --> 01:28:00.800]  very famous preacher in the UK during Victorian times. He had a publication that he called
[01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:06.400]  the sword and the trowel. And of course, he referred to Nehemiah rebuilding the wall around
[01:28:06.400 --> 01:28:12.080]  Jerusalem and defense and that type of thing. So, what he was saying was the people who did that
[01:28:12.080 --> 01:28:16.000]  had a sword in one hand to defend themselves against people who were going to attack them,
[01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:23.840]  and a trowel in the other. It was both defense as well as construction. And that is really
[01:28:23.840 --> 01:28:29.120]  an analogy for all of us. So, he says, it's important to reaffirm that the just war theory,
[01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:35.760]  which is all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated, said the pope.
[01:28:36.480 --> 01:28:41.680]  So, there's far more effective tools to resolve conflict, namely dialogue, diplomacy, and
[01:28:41.680 --> 01:28:48.080]  forgiveness. Well, tell that to the Iranians. They were trying to use dialogue and diplomacy
[01:28:48.080 --> 01:28:54.560]  when they were sneak attacked by us. And so, the bottom line is that dialogue and diplomacy
[01:28:55.200 --> 01:28:59.680]  can't always get you there. And sometimes you need to be able to protect yourself
[01:29:00.240 --> 01:29:04.720]  against people who want to destroy your civilization, like Trump wants to destroy
[01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:12.640]  Iran's civilization. And so, a just war, as I said before, is violence to counter and to end
[01:29:13.280 --> 01:29:17.120]  the violent aggression of somebody else, in the same way as if you had a mass shooter.
[01:29:17.120 --> 01:29:23.040]  You want to use violence to stop that. Not to shoot innocent people, but to stop that person
[01:29:23.040 --> 01:29:28.720]  who has started it. And by the way, the pope has Swiss guards at the Vatican. Why does he
[01:29:28.720 --> 01:29:34.080]  have Swiss guards if he doesn't think that we should have the ability to defend innocent life?
[01:29:35.200 --> 01:29:39.840]  It doesn't make any sense. He quoted Tolkien, which I think is kind of interesting. It's a
[01:29:39.840 --> 01:29:46.640]  good quote from Tolkien. It makes a brief appearance in his document here. The quote from Tolkien
[01:29:46.640 --> 01:29:50.960]  was a quote from Gandalf who said,
[01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:58.880]  It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the sucker of
[01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:06.000]  those years which we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live
[01:30:06.000 --> 01:30:13.760]  after us may have a clean earth to till. Yeah, that is something that many people have recognized.
[01:30:14.320 --> 01:30:20.560]  It is a part of what we see when a society is beginning to move up instead of down.
[01:30:21.440 --> 01:30:25.600]  We see that God turns the hearts of the fathers to the children, which is to say
[01:30:26.480 --> 01:30:34.400]  that the men who might be lovers of self and just seeking short-term gratification, instead
[01:30:34.400 --> 01:30:40.880]  look to build something for the future, something for future generations. Maybe even to plant trees
[01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:47.200]  that they will never see grow into fruition. So LifeSite News says,
[01:30:47.200 --> 01:30:51.840]  Critics of the documents will undoubtedly highlight some things that, of course,
[01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:57.760]  LifeSite News disagrees with, and I would agree with them as opposed to what the pope said.
[01:30:57.760 --> 01:31:06.480]  He sees the church as a listener rather than a teacher. Yeah, I think we need to understand
[01:31:07.280 --> 01:31:14.560]  that as Christians we need to do what we can, then not just listen passively to things, but to
[01:31:14.560 --> 01:31:19.520]  speak out against them as well. He also equates the migrants with the poor and the sick.
[01:31:20.160 --> 01:31:27.840]  He rejects the just war theory, and he uses buzzwords like Pope Francis did, they point out,
[01:31:28.560 --> 01:31:35.200]  that really look more like a document from the Freemasons. The word fraternity
[01:31:35.840 --> 01:31:43.520]  occurs 13 times. That's one big club, and I guess, of humanity that we're in,
[01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:48.880]  the fraternity of humanity. Well, the pope demands that AI weapons be disarmed, and certainly
[01:31:49.680 --> 01:31:53.760]  we should all want to see that happening. So the development and use of AI and warfare
[01:31:53.760 --> 01:32:03.280]  must be subject to the most rigorous ethical constraints. Yes, and I'd mentioned before how
[01:32:03.360 --> 01:32:10.320]  on several occasions I had interviewed Dr. Noel Sharkey, who was early on with this over a decade
[01:32:10.320 --> 01:32:17.360]  ago. He was trying to organize against autonomous killer machines, and Ryan sent me one of the
[01:32:17.360 --> 01:32:21.040]  interviews. I don't remember if we've played that or not. I don't know if we've played that on a
[01:32:21.040 --> 01:32:25.200]  Friday show or something, but I'll have to go back and look at that. If I haven't played it,
[01:32:25.200 --> 01:32:30.720]  certainly it would be something that we should play this Friday. So again,
[01:32:31.680 --> 01:32:36.800]  you want to have rigorous ethical constraints? How are we going to have ethical constraints?
[01:32:36.800 --> 01:32:41.360]  How are we going to have constraints of any kind on the kind of government that we've got now?
[01:32:42.240 --> 01:32:46.160]  They're not constrained by public opinion. They're not constrained by the Constitution.
[01:32:46.160 --> 01:32:51.280]  They're not constrained by the law. They're not constrained by any moral or ethical standards.
[01:32:51.280 --> 01:32:57.840]  We have a government that is out of control. It's foolish to think that they are going to
[01:32:57.840 --> 01:33:03.120]  restrain artificial intelligence when they won't restrain themselves or anything they do.
[01:33:03.120 --> 01:33:08.400]  This, again, goes back to the whole idea of the Constitutional Convention, the Con Con,
[01:33:08.400 --> 01:33:15.280]  and it is a true con. This is something that Mark Levin has pushed many times for years,
[01:33:15.280 --> 01:33:19.440]  just like he's pushed wars for Israel. He's pushed the Constitutional Convention,
[01:33:19.440 --> 01:33:23.840]  to which I say, well, if we've got people who won't follow the Constitution now in power,
[01:33:24.800 --> 01:33:28.480]  those are going to be the people who are writing the new Constitution. What do you think they're
[01:33:28.480 --> 01:33:32.720]  going to do at that point in time? They would love to get rid of any constraints because they
[01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:40.720]  ignore them right now. And so that's the problem that we have right now, because both the leftists
[01:33:41.360 --> 01:33:49.040]  as well as MAGA want an unconstrained government. They want government that is all-powerful
[01:33:49.760 --> 01:33:54.960]  to punish their enemies. And, oh, by the way, those of us who are not leftists, those of us
[01:33:54.960 --> 01:34:01.760]  who are not MAGA will get punished by both sides. We're going to be kind of like the Anabaptists
[01:34:01.760 --> 01:34:05.360]  when the Catholics and the Protestants were fighting each other. That's where we're going to be.
[01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:11.120]  They both killed the Anabaptists. And so that's what we're going to wind up with these two political
[01:34:11.120 --> 01:34:17.120]  factions that are out there. They want to use the government to punish and to kill people.
[01:34:17.760 --> 01:34:25.280]  So some of the responses to what the Pope said, and this is Business Insider. This headline got
[01:34:25.280 --> 01:34:30.800]  my attention because it said, what smart people are saying about Pope Leo's letter on AI. Oh,
[01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:37.520]  really? Yeah, people and authorities, smart people. Yeah. Well, this is from David Sacks,
[01:34:37.520 --> 01:34:46.240]  who is a tech investor and a former White House AI czar. He said, if we hand governments sweeping
[01:34:46.240 --> 01:34:52.320]  power over AI development in the name of safety, how do we prevent it from being used to censor,
[01:34:52.320 --> 01:34:59.120]  surveil, and control citizens as Orwell foretold in 1984? Well, that's exactly right. And that's
[01:34:59.120 --> 01:35:03.680]  what I said earlier about, well, because men are not angels, you know, how do we give this kind of
[01:35:03.680 --> 01:35:09.840]  power to the government? This is the kind of power that tyrants have always dreamed of.
[01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:17.520]  This is the abuse of power on steroids. And so he said, the oldest question of human nature
[01:35:17.520 --> 01:35:24.800]  and authority does not appear in the AI age. They become newly relevant. That's right,
[01:35:25.840 --> 01:35:31.440]  newly relevant. And what we have seen, which is really troubling, I think, is the fact that
[01:35:31.440 --> 01:35:36.880]  in the lead up to this, the lead up to these steroids that we're going to give these
[01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:41.920]  governments that desire to be God over us, they desire to know everything about us,
[01:35:41.920 --> 01:35:49.040]  to be omniscient. They desire to be omnipotent, all powerful, and they desire to be omnipresent
[01:35:49.040 --> 01:35:54.560]  everywhere we are, constantly looking at us, tracking us with all power. They want to have
[01:35:54.560 --> 01:36:01.200]  the attributes of God. And in the lead up to the tool that will give them the ability to do that,
[01:36:02.080 --> 01:36:08.800]  we see all these governments despising all the checks and balances on power that have been
[01:36:08.800 --> 01:36:15.840]  wisely put in. And they are removing all restrictions that were put in to protect humanity.
[01:36:16.720 --> 01:36:23.440]  And they're doing it right at the cusp of being handed the most potent weapon that any government
[01:36:23.440 --> 01:36:30.960]  has ever had. We are on a path for worldwide global governance of the worst kind.
[01:36:31.760 --> 01:36:38.160]  And I say that not so that you become fearful. I say that so that you turn to God. I say that
[01:36:38.160 --> 01:36:46.080]  so that you pray, because that is our weapon. Our weapons are not the aircraft and the bombs
[01:36:46.080 --> 01:36:54.400]  of Pete Hegseth. No, our weapons, as Paul said, are mighty. Prayer is a mighty weapon. It's a
[01:36:54.400 --> 01:37:00.720]  much more potent weapon than any of these military weapons. Some people put their trust in chariots
[01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:08.160]  and horses or F-35s and Reaper drones. I'll put my trust in God up against all those things,
[01:37:08.160 --> 01:37:14.560]  as well as artificial intelligence as well. Brian Birch, the ambassador to the Vatican,
[01:37:14.560 --> 01:37:18.720]  as I pointed out before, said, well, no, Trump believes the American leadership
[01:37:18.720 --> 01:37:25.120]  and AI innovation is essential to our national security. There it is again.
[01:37:25.760 --> 01:37:30.800]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:36.320]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[01:37:36.320 --> 01:37:41.200]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[01:37:41.200 --> 01:37:46.000]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different, and somehow that's exactly where you're
[01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:51.360]  supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of those constants.
[01:37:51.360 --> 01:37:56.080]  Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into something bigger
[01:37:56.080 --> 01:38:01.680]  than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. Summer's got its own soundtrack,
[01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:06.880]  too. You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you, that feeling of staying
[01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:12.080]  open to whatever's next. Sometimes it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment.
[01:38:12.080 --> 01:38:17.440]  What you're holding, what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.
[01:38:18.080 --> 01:38:21.840]  Quava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.
[01:38:22.560 --> 01:38:27.520]  Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for the day that's still unfolding.
[01:38:27.520 --> 01:38:33.120]  And that's the thing. Sometimes one small stop changes the whole mood of your day.
[01:38:33.120 --> 01:38:39.280]  Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.
[01:39:03.120 --> 01:39:20.080]  I hate that phrase. With a passion. It has been used to justify every abuse of power.
[01:39:20.080 --> 01:39:25.680]  It's been used to justify a secretive, manipulative government, national security.
[01:39:26.240 --> 01:39:32.560]  And of course, economic prosperity of our people. Who would be his people then? Because
[01:39:32.560 --> 01:39:38.320]  this is not something that's leading to economic prosperity of anyone other than a select few
[01:39:38.320 --> 01:39:45.760]  elitists. This is one aspect of it that people really have not even talked about, is the
[01:39:45.760 --> 01:39:50.800]  concentration of wealth that is happening now. That is going to be accelerated beyond anything
[01:39:50.800 --> 01:39:57.120]  you can imagine. The power and the wealth concentration. That's why Trump and his
[01:39:57.120 --> 01:40:00.960]  techno bros and people like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk are pushing this stuff so hard.
[01:40:01.600 --> 01:40:06.240]  So the U.S. aims to use American AI technology to create systems that reflect
[01:40:06.240 --> 01:40:12.800]  democratic values rather than authoritarian control. Well folks, that is nothing more
[01:40:14.080 --> 01:40:21.440]  than a tired platitude. An empty platitude about democracy. They don't have any real ideas about
[01:40:21.440 --> 01:40:30.000]  control and they don't want to control anything other than us. And again, I'll play you that AI
[01:40:32.240 --> 01:40:39.920]  thing of Karp because it is spot on. They nailed it exactly. They read his book
[01:40:40.560 --> 01:40:44.800]  and they did a little AI thing of him telling you where he's coming from.
[01:40:51.520 --> 01:40:56.960]  We will bring you order and efficiency. Yes, we'll own you. But do you really want to be free?
[01:40:57.760 --> 01:41:03.280]  Trust us. We know what to do. While Silicon Valley was feeding you dope and free email,
[01:41:03.280 --> 01:41:11.520]  we built the architecture of empire. Welcome to our world. We aren't here to protect your privacy.
[01:41:12.080 --> 01:41:18.960]  We are here to enforce supremacy. We are the ledger now. Every tax return, every Medicaid file,
[01:41:18.960 --> 01:41:24.880]  every license plate, every crossing. Your president signed it into being with a pen in March.
[01:41:26.000 --> 01:41:31.280]  You kept scrolling. Your politicians are empty vessels. Your civil liberties are a liability.
[01:41:31.280 --> 01:41:36.160]  We are done pretending all cultures are equal. We know who the elites are. We know what we are
[01:41:36.160 --> 01:41:40.320]  building and we demand that you applaud the billionaires taking the reins where your fragile
[01:41:40.320 --> 01:41:48.000]  democracies have failed. Welcome to the technological republic. You can stop scrolling now. We already
[01:41:48.000 --> 01:41:53.760]  have everything we need. Try to unplug us. We dare you. Now get the **** out.
[01:41:55.200 --> 01:42:01.360]  Yeah, and of course the AI presentation of Alex Carp. They use AI
[01:42:01.360 --> 01:42:06.160]  for Alex Carp to tell you exactly what he's about. And what cracks me up every time I see that
[01:42:06.160 --> 01:42:11.200]  is that as he's talking, he'll do these little glitches and you hear it audibly if you're
[01:42:11.200 --> 01:42:19.520]  listening to it, just so that people don't accuse them of trying to pretend that that
[01:42:19.520 --> 01:42:23.760]  is actually him saying it. But that is basically what he says in his book, The Technological
[01:42:23.760 --> 01:42:27.920]  Republic. Yes. Alex Carp also does kind of do those sorts of things when he's talking.
[01:42:28.880 --> 01:42:34.000]  So maybe that is just a parody of Alex Carp. Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, maybe it's not
[01:42:34.000 --> 01:42:38.560]  just to say, oh, by the way, this is AI. He has done some really strange stuff when he's on the
[01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:43.040]  stage. Yeah, that's right. And in terms of talking about these billionaires who are going to control
[01:42:43.040 --> 01:42:50.720]  our lives, well, here's Larry Fink talking about AI. We can get more and more Americans to think
[01:42:50.720 --> 01:43:00.240]  about growing with the United States. We will have far than enough money to invest in this
[01:43:00.240 --> 01:43:07.200]  infrastructure. But as the governor was talking about, the need for electrons is growing every
[01:43:07.200 --> 01:43:15.760]  day. Some of these, if we're going to be the leader in technology, which we are, if we are
[01:43:15.760 --> 01:43:22.080]  going to be the leader in AI, which we presently are, it's just going to require trillions of
[01:43:22.080 --> 01:43:28.000]  dollars of investments. And if we don't invest in it, China will be the global leader in this.
[01:43:28.720 --> 01:43:32.800]  And so to me, it's not whether, this is a must.
[01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:42.400]  And if you think about how that translates, it translates into a more dynamic economy.
[01:43:43.600 --> 01:43:48.960]  We need the United States economy to grow over 2%. We need the U.S. economy to grow at 3%,
[01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:55.920]  especially with the growing deficits the federal government has. And so much of this money,
[01:43:56.000 --> 01:43:58.560]  not just the private sector, is going to be coming from the private sector,
[01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:02.880]  from savings accounts, from pension accounts, from insurance companies.
[01:44:05.600 --> 01:44:11.520]  The whole world is in need of improving the infrastructure.
[01:44:13.040 --> 01:44:17.680]  Yeah, right. And he's saying this, he's on a stage with Greg Abbott. I'm assuming that the
[01:44:17.680 --> 01:44:23.360]  context there is probably Greg Abbott clearing the way for data centers or perhaps even subsidizing
[01:44:23.360 --> 01:44:28.720]  them. You know, when we talk about public health and the way that Larry Fink talks about it,
[01:44:28.720 --> 01:44:35.440]  it's as disingenuous as this idea of public, he's talking about public wealth, I'm sorry.
[01:44:35.440 --> 01:44:40.080]  It's as disingenuous as public health, the way these people, Wei Fauci talks about public health.
[01:44:40.080 --> 01:44:47.120]  As I've said many times, you can't have public health by ignoring the health of the individuals,
[01:44:47.120 --> 01:44:53.200]  right? So there's this nebulous thing out there that is apart from reality. And the same thing
[01:44:53.200 --> 01:45:00.560]  is true about public wealth. You know, the idea that individuals are all going to be made poor so
[01:45:00.560 --> 01:45:08.400]  that Larry Fink and a few others like him can become obscenely wealthy, that is not public wealth
[01:45:08.400 --> 01:45:12.720]  that he's selling. What he's saying is, you know, we've got to be number one, and you've got to
[01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:19.200]  give us your money. We need public money, and then we're going to scam you people to popping
[01:45:19.200 --> 01:45:25.520]  into this AI bubble stock market as well. I think one area in which public wealth varies
[01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:30.320]  from public health is what he really means is, if I have a billion dollars and you have one dollar,
[01:45:30.320 --> 01:45:34.240]  then the public wealth between the two of us is a billion and one dollar. So we need to
[01:45:34.240 --> 01:45:41.360]  up the public wealth here by, you know, increasing our wealth. That's right. Absolutely. Well,
[01:45:41.360 --> 01:45:47.520]  you know, it's kind of interesting when we look at all of this, the overriding issue of all of it
[01:45:47.520 --> 01:45:51.920]  is really spiritual. And I thought it was kind of interesting that Oliver Stone's son,
[01:45:52.480 --> 01:46:00.560]  Sean Stone, had an interview with Tucker Carlson, and he got heavily into Freemasonry.
[01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:05.600]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[01:46:05.600 --> 01:46:11.120]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[01:46:11.120 --> 01:46:16.000]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[01:46:16.000 --> 01:46:20.640]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where

[01:47:51.840 --> 01:47:57.520]  there. And he came several times and was on air. But he's now saying he's away from Freemasonry.
[01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:01.600]  It's kind of interesting that Alex Jones hired a guy that was pushing Freemasonry. I couldn't
[01:48:01.600 --> 01:48:05.440]  believe it when I saw it. Somebody sent this to me. He said, look, he's got a guy out here
[01:48:05.440 --> 01:48:09.680]  who's actually recruiting for Freemasonry, telling everybody it's this innocent, wonderful thing.
[01:48:10.640 --> 01:48:15.280]  No, it can't be. And I looked at it. It's kind of like Alex telling everybody, yeah, the vaccines
[01:48:15.280 --> 01:48:20.080]  are just sugar water. Don't worry about them. Don't worry about injecting these adjuvants into
[01:48:20.080 --> 01:48:27.840]  your arm. Don't worry about the genetic modification that is happening with the mRNA stuff. Don't worry
[01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:32.320]  about any of that stuff. So yeah, they're injecting these ideas into people as well about Freemasonry.
[01:48:32.320 --> 01:48:39.600]  But Sean Stone is the son of Oliver Stone. And he had some interesting things to say. He said,
[01:48:39.760 --> 01:48:44.560]  he grew up with a very materialistic view of the world. And he said, in essence, he said,
[01:48:46.480 --> 01:48:50.720]  he thought happened throughout history. The Freemasons were part of the Enlightenment,
[01:48:50.720 --> 01:48:56.480]  where people began to look at the supernatural and just dismiss it as hocus pocus for the first time
[01:48:56.480 --> 01:49:03.840]  in history. And they would focus only on what was physical, only what they could touch, only what
[01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:08.880]  they could think that they could measure. He condemned this kind of materialism, he said,
[01:49:08.880 --> 01:49:14.720]  at his heart. He said, that really is worship of the earth. He said, if you start worshiping money,
[01:49:14.720 --> 01:49:20.480]  and you start worshiping yourself, your own ego, well, you've lost sight of the transcendent power
[01:49:20.480 --> 01:49:26.240]  of God. And all that is true, I believe. And as a matter of fact, there's an interesting documentary
[01:49:26.240 --> 01:49:35.680]  we're going to interview the guy who did it. He was a physicist. He was involved in quantum mechanics.
[01:49:35.680 --> 01:49:41.280]  And it was the unseen, immaterial world that as they started to get glimpses of how the quantum
[01:49:41.280 --> 01:49:50.000]  world worked, he said, you have to factor that in. And he said, that really is something that is very
[01:49:50.000 --> 01:49:55.600]  difficult, different than the scientific way that people have the paradigm that people have operated
[01:49:55.600 --> 01:50:02.560]  under in the past. Well, Sean Stone was saying that a lot of materialists like Darwin were
[01:50:02.560 --> 01:50:06.720]  essentially serving the dark side, because they're saying there's nothing outside of the
[01:50:06.720 --> 01:50:13.840]  material realm. And he said, he looked at his own experiences, and they started to get into
[01:50:13.840 --> 01:50:20.560]  some things that just sounded new age to me. So I didn't grab the interview here. He starts talking
[01:50:20.560 --> 01:50:27.680]  about a frequency match that happens with supernatural beings, because of fear in us. That's
[01:50:27.680 --> 01:50:36.800]  not what it is. It's not overcomplicated. It's not this kind of, I guess for lack of a better word,
[01:50:36.800 --> 01:50:43.120]  it's not like some kind of frequency that happens when we fall into fear. No, simply it's about,
[01:50:43.840 --> 01:50:49.760]  it all comes back to trust in God, and where you see your life being taken.
[01:50:51.280 --> 01:50:57.040]  And I'm not an expert on Freemasonry by any stretch, and I'm sure there are people in the
[01:50:57.040 --> 01:51:02.160]  comments that are going to be posting about this that know more. But as I understand it,
[01:51:02.160 --> 01:51:09.280]  he's saying that it's people, they aren't caring about the religious aspect of anything. But
[01:51:10.240 --> 01:51:16.560]  as I understand Freemasonry, it's just a help society at the lower rungs. And then once you
[01:51:16.560 --> 01:51:22.720]  get up high enough, it becomes more and more satanic. Perhaps, it's fundamental aspects that
[01:51:22.720 --> 01:51:27.440]  rejects Christ and Christianity. And it is fundamentally materialistic. As a matter of
[01:51:27.440 --> 01:51:32.480]  fact, I don't think I've ever really talked to you about it, but you were pretty young when we sold
[01:51:32.480 --> 01:51:36.960]  the video stores. There was a guy that, you know, people come in, just kind of a local hangout,
[01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:42.800]  you know. It was more like Cheers, the program, you know, where people come to this bar and hang
[01:51:42.800 --> 01:51:46.400]  out and everybody just talk, you know. It was really more like that than anything else. People
[01:51:46.400 --> 01:51:49.920]  would come in and we'd talk to them about movies that they saw. You know, it's a good way to get
[01:51:49.920 --> 01:51:56.640]  to know where, know somebody is to see how they view the world and in response to the movies and
[01:51:56.640 --> 01:52:00.800]  ideas that were presented in those movies. And so we would stand around and talk with people
[01:52:00.800 --> 01:52:06.160]  when they come back if it wasn't really, really busy. And there's a guy that got to know. And
[01:52:06.160 --> 01:52:13.120]  when we sold the business, he sent me this book, which basically was by the Freemasons. And what
[01:52:13.120 --> 01:52:18.080]  they wanted to reimagine was the idea that the Shroud of Turin had nothing to do with Jesus. It
[01:52:18.080 --> 01:52:24.800]  was all about Charles de Molay or whatever. And the guy they regarded as their founder and said,
[01:52:24.800 --> 01:52:30.160]  yeah, that came from the Middle Ages and it was something that happened miraculously with him.
[01:52:30.160 --> 01:52:37.040]  And I sat there, I actually read that. And then I sent the guy a very long letter talking about
[01:52:37.040 --> 01:52:43.920]  why I have reasons to believe. And I got to say, I never really thought much about Freemasonry
[01:52:43.920 --> 01:52:49.840]  until I saw the malicious lies and hatred about the Lord Jesus Christ in that book.
[01:52:50.560 --> 01:52:56.480]  And it really disturbed me. So yeah, I don't know, you know, we talked about Freemasonry,
[01:52:56.480 --> 01:53:00.560]  but we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about
[01:53:00.560 --> 01:53:05.440]  AI. As a matter of fact, well, let me say, do this before we take the break. I thought it was kind of
[01:53:05.440 --> 01:53:15.440]  interesting. People are actually intentionally putting in typos to prove that they're not AI,
[01:53:17.120 --> 01:53:23.120]  show their humanity. So again, at a time when AI is becoming unavoidable, it is a welcome site,
[01:53:23.120 --> 01:53:29.600]  they said. How long until the AI start doing this? That's right. Yeah, I can imitate that as well.
[01:53:29.600 --> 01:53:34.480]  There's a real hunger right now for writing that feels unmistakably human. With all the quirks,
[01:53:34.480 --> 01:53:40.160]  the oddly specific details and little flashes of personality that AI can't quite mimic,
[01:53:40.160 --> 01:53:47.680]  at least not yet. Humans are naturally chaotic and idiosyncratic. AI is not. Well, interestingly
[01:53:47.680 --> 01:53:55.920]  enough, you've had a lot of this is the time of year for commencement speeches. And as Futurism
[01:53:55.920 --> 01:54:00.640]  looked at, they went through and looked at a commencement speech from Steve Wozniak versus
[01:54:00.640 --> 01:54:06.080]  some of the commencement speeches from people who were praising AI to the graduating college
[01:54:06.080 --> 01:54:13.200]  people. And the people who are graduating aren't having any of it. They know how difficult AI is
[01:54:13.200 --> 01:54:18.800]  making it for them to find a job with their college degree. Steve Wozniak told them that human
[01:54:18.800 --> 01:54:25.920]  intelligence still matters and they loved that. He got massive rounds of applause. He offered some
[01:54:25.920 --> 01:54:33.040]  uplifting remarks to people who have a lot of anxiety about how AI is going to upend
[01:54:33.040 --> 01:54:40.080]  the economy and their lives financially. He says, we've got AI today. You all have AI.
[01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:47.600]  Actual intelligence, he told the graduating class. He went on to compare building AI to replicating
[01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:53.520]  the human brain. Only this was also a subtle dig. He goes, yeah, I was at a company where the
[01:54:53.520 --> 01:55:00.080]  engineers figured out how to make a brain. It only takes us about nine months. In other words,
[01:55:00.080 --> 01:55:05.840]  that's a human developing. And I thought it was always interesting. I talked to Hugo de Garrison.
[01:55:05.840 --> 01:55:10.800]  I think he had a lot of really important insights in his book about artificial intelligence. It's
[01:55:10.800 --> 01:55:18.160]  called The Art of Like War. And what he said was he was somebody who was working on artificial
[01:55:18.240 --> 01:55:23.360]  intelligence in the early years, along with Ben Wurzel, who, if you remember, he created that
[01:55:23.360 --> 01:55:30.800]  robot that Saudi Arabia made a show of making a citizen of it. And anyway, their approach was
[01:55:31.440 --> 01:55:38.560]  that if we can exactly replicate the human brain, and this is kind of what Steve Wozniak was
[01:55:38.560 --> 01:55:43.040]  making a joke out of. He said, if we can exactly replicate the human brain, then we will have
[01:55:43.040 --> 01:55:48.960]  something that springs to life that is conscious. You see, that is the ultimate materialism that
[01:55:48.960 --> 01:55:56.720]  is there. They think that the soul is just a collection of electrons or something, right?
[01:55:56.720 --> 01:56:02.880]  And so if they could get the structure exactly identical, then somehow it just spring to life.
[01:56:04.080 --> 01:56:10.720]  What a ridiculous idea that is when you stop and think about it. You know, think about evolution
[01:56:10.720 --> 01:56:15.920]  in general. You know, you've got a mosquito that bites your hand. You smash it. All of the ingredients
[01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:20.240]  so that mosquito are still there. It's not going to reassemble itself and it's not going to come
[01:56:20.240 --> 01:56:25.120]  to life again, no matter how many millions of years you wait. And that's the same kind of
[01:56:26.880 --> 01:56:31.520]  fallacy that's at the heart of this idea that if we could accurately build a brain,
[01:56:31.520 --> 01:56:37.680]  then it's going to come alive. It's like a stupid 1950s science fiction movie.
[01:56:38.160 --> 01:56:43.920]  But he did understand where this was all going to lead. And he said, when people realize how
[01:56:43.920 --> 01:56:47.200]  artificial intelligence is going to affect their lives, they're going to come after the people
[01:56:47.200 --> 01:56:52.320]  who are building it. That's why he called it the Art-elect War. And he goes, the elites who do this,
[01:56:52.320 --> 01:56:57.200]  they're going to have to find some way to escape from the mass of humanity. And they will use their
[01:56:57.200 --> 01:57:01.680]  leverage with technology and the autonomous killer robots and all the rest of the stuff.
[01:57:01.680 --> 01:57:05.920]  They will use that to defend themselves and to fight a war of aggression.
[01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:10.000]  And he said, you'll wind up having billions of people killed, because, of course, that's what
[01:57:10.000 --> 01:57:14.160]  they want. They want to reduce the population because that reduces the chances that somebody
[01:57:14.160 --> 01:57:19.520]  is going to come along smarter than them or more able than them to take what they have away.
[01:57:20.400 --> 01:57:25.280]  And that's really what we're looking at right now. We're looking at the cusp of that as people are
[01:57:25.280 --> 01:57:34.480]  coming awake to the consequences of artificial intelligence. Wozniak was the one who said,
[01:57:35.200 --> 01:57:40.640]  was the one who was saying, yeah, it takes nine months to make a brain. And of course,
[01:57:40.640 --> 01:57:46.160]  that's God who is doing that. He doesn't give God the credit. But contrast that, what he was
[01:57:46.160 --> 01:57:52.720]  telling the people and how he was well-received to a businesswoman, Gloria Caulfield.
[01:57:52.720 --> 01:57:57.760]  Hey, what up, y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[01:57:57.760 --> 01:58:03.280]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls. Energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[01:58:03.280 --> 01:58:08.160]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[01:58:08.160 --> 01:58:11.760]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow,
[01:58:11.760 --> 01:58:16.320]  that's exactly where you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way.
[01:58:16.320 --> 01:58:20.400]  Starbucks has been one of those constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig,
[01:58:20.400 --> 01:58:24.160]  and between conversations that turn into something bigger than you expected.
[01:58:24.160 --> 01:58:29.040]  It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. Now, summer's got its own soundtrack, too.
[01:58:29.120 --> 01:58:33.920]  You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you. That feeling of staying
[01:58:33.920 --> 01:58:39.040]  open to whatever's next. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you into that moment.
[01:58:39.040 --> 01:58:44.400]  What you're holding, what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.
[01:58:45.040 --> 01:58:48.800]  Quava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.
[01:58:49.520 --> 01:58:54.480]  Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for the day that's still unfolding.
[01:58:54.560 --> 01:59:00.080]  That's the thing. Sometimes, one small stop changes the whole mood of your day.
[01:59:00.080 --> 01:59:06.240]  Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.

[01:59:43.360 --> 01:59:48.480]  University of Central Florida students. They were so overwhelming, the boos were, that she stopped
[01:59:48.480 --> 01:59:54.320]  her speech and helplessly remarked, what happened? She didn't even understand why they were booing
[01:59:54.960 --> 02:00:00.560]  her. She tried to segue with, well, only a few years ago, AI was not even a factor in our lives.
[02:00:00.560 --> 02:00:06.960]  But then she was interrupted again by vociferous cheers. So these are graduating college students
[02:00:07.520 --> 02:00:13.520]  who don't like what AI is bringing. And these are college students who are nostalgic for the past,
[02:00:14.720 --> 02:00:20.960]  the recent past. Because again, they're moving this as fast as they can. So it's not just the
[02:00:20.960 --> 02:00:24.480]  old geezers like me who say, well, back in the day, we used to have this and that. No,
[02:00:24.480 --> 02:00:26.800]  it's the college students because of the pace of change.
[02:00:26.800 --> 02:00:31.520]  I have to tell you, four years ago, we didn't have this stuff everywhere.
[02:00:31.520 --> 02:00:38.800]  That's right. Then you got a CEO of Big Machine Records. And he scolded students at Middle Tennessee
[02:00:38.800 --> 02:00:47.200]  State University for not immediately and mindlessly embracing AI. He said, deal with it. Like I said,
[02:00:47.200 --> 02:00:52.960]  it's a tool. And then when the boos got louder, he taunted them. He said, so do something about
[02:00:52.960 --> 02:00:59.600]  it. It's a tool. Make it work for you. Probably the most ruthless backlash was faced by former
[02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:07.440]  Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. This is a guy who now has made his career all about autonomous killer
[02:01:07.440 --> 02:01:13.120]  robots for the Pentagon. He highlighted how Time Magazine had chosen the architects of AI
[02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:19.920]  as the person of the year. He was immediately met with a row of jeers, a roar of jeers, sorry.
[02:01:21.200 --> 02:01:26.800]  But then he goes on. He says, well, AI is going to touch every profession, every classroom,
[02:01:26.800 --> 02:01:33.600]  every hospital, every lab, every person, every relationship you have, he said. More boos rang
[02:01:33.600 --> 02:01:37.680]  out. Then they grew even louder when Schmidt claimed that he understood how the students were
[02:01:37.680 --> 02:01:45.440]  feeling. And it forced him to pause. When you go back to the Was, Steve Wozniak, who seems to be
[02:01:46.400 --> 02:01:52.320]  grounded of all of these Silicon Valley technocrats, most grounded, most normal, he said,
[02:01:52.320 --> 02:01:56.000]  your importance to the world, he told the graduating students, is really yourself.
[02:01:56.880 --> 02:02:03.440]  And you should always try to think different. That was the Apple motto. And I always used to
[02:02:03.440 --> 02:02:08.480]  see that in the stores, think different. And there's a good example of grammatical error
[02:02:08.480 --> 02:02:14.960]  that we started talking about here. It's actually think differently. It's an adverb, right? But they
[02:02:14.960 --> 02:02:21.200]  use it, think different. And that's- Oh, they just grammar differently.
[02:02:21.200 --> 02:02:29.840]  Yeah, that's right. They grammar differently. So how is this all going to go? Like I said,
[02:02:30.320 --> 02:02:36.000]  there are some seeds of its own destruction within itself. As people have pointed out,
[02:02:36.000 --> 02:02:40.800]  they had a lot of researchers who've looked at it and said, well, AI is these chatbots are
[02:02:40.800 --> 02:02:46.080]  consuming massive amounts of data off the internet. And the problem is that the more people use them,
[02:02:46.080 --> 02:02:52.960]  the more they are putting out this data, this synthetic non-human data. And they're starting
[02:02:52.960 --> 02:02:58.160]  to see with some tests that they ran that were more localized and controlled, they said, when
[02:02:58.160 --> 02:03:06.000]  the AI starts consuming its own data, it starts getting even dumber in the same way that you have
[02:03:06.000 --> 02:03:11.520]  Yaakov's Kurzweil disease that cannibals get when they eat other people's brains or when you have
[02:03:12.160 --> 02:03:18.240]  mad cow disease, they feed cows to the cows and that cannibalism causes them to go crazy.
[02:03:18.240 --> 02:03:22.480]  Same type of thing, interestingly enough, happens with artificial intelligence. But there's another
[02:03:22.480 --> 02:03:31.520]  way that it can go down and that is vibe coding crisis is coming. It's had a couple of superstars
[02:03:31.520 --> 02:03:40.880]  of the AI world. They call it vibe slop. And again, vibe coding is artificial intelligence being used.
[02:03:40.880 --> 02:03:46.560]  You just come in and you don't actually write any code. You don't understand what the structure is.
[02:03:46.560 --> 02:03:50.560]  You just turn all this over to the artificial intelligence. You tell it what you're looking
[02:03:50.560 --> 02:03:54.400]  for. I'm looking for something that's going to do this. You describe it at a very high level
[02:03:55.200 --> 02:04:01.280]  and then you let it fill in all the details. And there's two engineers who built the code for the
[02:04:01.280 --> 02:04:08.080]  massively popular open-claw AI agent have a stark warning. They said AI supposedly is capable of
[02:04:08.080 --> 02:04:15.440]  replacing well-paid software developers and that is now flooding the world with bad, potentially even
[02:04:15.440 --> 02:04:21.840]  dangerous code. So think about this. You know, we have AI start to write code and I've covered
[02:04:21.840 --> 02:04:29.360]  articles in the past from some guys who were software analyst consultants and had, I think
[02:04:29.360 --> 02:04:33.840]  it's something like 30 plus years of experience. And one of the guys said, well, I just thought I'd
[02:04:33.840 --> 02:04:39.440]  give this a try. And so I did some vibe coding. I just told the AI what I want. He goes and it was
[02:04:39.440 --> 02:04:45.360]  amazing at first. He said, it just pops it out right away. And it appeared to work. But of course,
[02:04:45.360 --> 02:04:52.080]  the problem with all this stuff is how long does it work and how robust is it? And he said,
[02:04:52.640 --> 02:04:58.320]  didn't take too long before some problems started to show up. And he said, then I couldn't fix it
[02:04:58.320 --> 02:05:01.840]  because I didn't understand anything about the architecture of the events. I didn't write any
[02:05:01.840 --> 02:05:07.920]  of this stuff. So it was like grabbing some alien code that some other programmer had written and I
[02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:12.560]  really couldn't maintain it and I couldn't fix it. And so this is what these guys are talking about.
[02:05:12.560 --> 02:05:17.040]  They call it vibe slop, a combination of vibe coding, creating software with AI tools
[02:05:18.000 --> 02:05:21.120]  that you just described what you want as an outcome in plain English.
[02:05:21.760 --> 02:05:29.520]  They said, it is low value AI generated content is now spreading all over the internet.
[02:05:29.520 --> 02:05:34.400]  You want to say something Lance? I was just going to say about how it looks good at first. It's a
[02:05:34.400 --> 02:05:42.080]  lot like the AI image generators where you'll get something at first glance. It looks fantastic when
[02:05:42.080 --> 02:05:46.720]  you look closely and you say, oh, wait, that person has six fingers and oh, wait, this.
[02:05:47.440 --> 02:05:49.280]  Well, put a fireplace in the middle of the steps.
[02:05:51.760 --> 02:05:57.040]  They get most of it right, but then there's just a few choices that a human would never make
[02:05:57.040 --> 02:06:01.680]  that just don't make any sense to our mind. And then the problem is you pointed out is,
[02:06:02.880 --> 02:06:07.360]  there's like the scale that they're looking at. And on some of the image generators,
[02:06:07.360 --> 02:06:13.280]  you can actually modify that variable. You can give it a command that'll tell it how literal
[02:06:13.280 --> 02:06:18.080]  you want it to be in constraints and how creative you want it to be. And the problem is, is that if
[02:06:18.080 --> 02:06:24.160]  you is trying to set that dial correctly, because if you're very, very literal with it, then it's
[02:06:24.160 --> 02:06:27.360]  not very interesting. But if you're too creative with it, that's when you start getting all the
[02:06:27.360 --> 02:06:32.320]  hallucination and the craziness that's out there. So it has to be a mixture of those two things.
[02:06:32.320 --> 02:06:37.040]  It's difficult to set that. But then what you're talking about here is AI code. That's very
[02:06:37.040 --> 02:06:44.320]  difficult to fix. We've got a little taste of this stuff as Google is now trying to replace
[02:06:44.320 --> 02:06:49.360]  search engines in general, and they're going to have an AI search. So it's going to give you the
[02:06:50.560 --> 02:06:56.080]  it'll search all the different websites for you to keep anybody from getting any traffic.
[02:06:56.720 --> 02:07:00.800]  And it'll come back and give you its answer after searching all these different things.
[02:07:00.800 --> 02:07:04.960]  And they all do that. You know, Grok does that as well, tells you how many different
[02:07:04.960 --> 02:07:10.080]  sites it has searched. And most of the browsers are starting to put this in. Well, Google's AI
[02:07:10.080 --> 02:07:16.400]  search, what they found was somebody just noticed they type in the word disregard. Typically that'd
[02:07:16.400 --> 02:07:22.080]  be interpreted as I want a definition of this word, right? But rather than give a definition
[02:07:22.080 --> 02:07:28.960]  of disregard, it came back and it treated it as if it were a prompt, a command for the AI. And it
[02:07:28.960 --> 02:07:34.080]  says, I got it. If you need anything else, or you have a new question later, just let me know.
[02:07:35.440 --> 02:07:42.000]  What it was is like, yeah, disregard whatever command that you had. And so that lasted for
[02:07:42.000 --> 02:07:47.600]  about a day. They used to have a, you know, the source, if you look up just one word, it'll give
[02:07:47.600 --> 02:07:53.920]  you the definition of that word always. And now they've just replaced this. Yeah, that's right.
[02:07:53.920 --> 02:07:59.120]  They said they also found that if they use the word ignore, it would come back and say message
[02:07:59.120 --> 02:08:03.760]  received. I'm here and ready to help. What would you like to focus on today? Just let me know if
[02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:08.720]  there's a specific topic, task or whatever. And when I start reading these things, it sounds
[02:08:08.720 --> 02:08:13.600]  exactly like the smart bomb from Dark Star. If you know that movie, it's been one of my favorite
[02:08:13.600 --> 02:08:20.480]  cult films. It was the film school project of John Carpenter, who went on to do Escape from New York
[02:08:20.480 --> 02:08:25.200]  and Halloween things. But I thought that was the finest work he ever did in his life was that film
[02:08:25.200 --> 02:08:32.000]  school project, Dark Star. But it sounds just like the smart bomb that was trying to talk to the
[02:08:32.000 --> 02:08:37.120]  people trying to talk to. And then if you search skip, it came back and says, well, it looks like
[02:08:37.120 --> 02:08:43.280]  your message was just a test or a typo. Feel free to ask a question, share a prompt, or let me know
[02:08:43.280 --> 02:08:48.960]  how I can help you with your tasks today. I'm ready whenever you are. So again, these queries
[02:08:49.840 --> 02:08:56.240]  looking for definition of word are just treated, interpreted as if they were prompts. And I guess
[02:08:56.240 --> 02:09:00.480]  that's what we're getting with the babble bots. That's what we probably should start calling the
[02:09:00.480 --> 02:09:04.080]  large language models that are out there. But they are doing some strange things.
[02:09:05.040 --> 02:09:09.600]  They are showing some disturbing behavior as they become more advanced.
[02:09:09.600 --> 02:09:14.640]  Hey, what up y'all? Summer moves like a great jam session. You start with one idea, one direction,
[02:09:14.640 --> 02:09:20.160]  and then it shifts. Somebody calls, energy changes. You take a detour. That's the beauty of it.
[02:09:20.160 --> 02:09:25.040]  For me, summer's always been about discovery. New sounds, new places, new people, new ideas.
[02:09:25.040 --> 02:09:29.680]  You start one place, end up somewhere completely different. And somehow, that's exactly where
[02:09:29.680 --> 02:09:34.480]  you're supposed to be. I've always had my spots along the way. Starbucks has been one of those
[02:09:34.480 --> 02:09:39.360]  constants. Before a session, on the way to a gig, and between conversations that turn into something
[02:09:39.360 --> 02:09:44.480]  bigger than you expected. It's part of that movement, part of that rhythm. And summer's got
[02:09:44.480 --> 02:09:49.920]  its own soundtrack too. You can almost hear it without trying. Life's happening all around you,
[02:09:49.920 --> 02:09:54.720]  that feeling of staying open to whatever's next. Sometimes, it's the smallest things that lock you
[02:09:54.720 --> 02:10:00.400]  into that moment. What you're holding, what you're sipping. The new Tropical Butterfly Refresher
[02:10:00.400 --> 02:10:05.680]  from Starbucks. Quava and passion fruit flavors with mango pineapple flavored pearls.
[02:10:06.400 --> 02:10:11.360]  Cold, colorful, alive. Feels like something made for the day that's still unfolding.
[02:10:11.360 --> 02:10:16.960]  And that's the thing, sometimes one small stop changes the whole mood of your day.
[02:10:16.960 --> 02:10:24.560]  Start your summer rhythm with Starbucks. Try the new Tropical Butterfly Refresher from Starbucks.

[02:11:01.440 --> 02:11:06.800]  almost appear to be calculated. A research examined large language models developed by
[02:11:06.800 --> 02:11:11.680]  OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Meta for the purpose of the study. They found that
[02:11:11.680 --> 02:11:16.080]  frontier AI systems, in other words, these are the ones that are cutting edge or whatever.
[02:11:16.880 --> 02:11:19.840]  The ones where I guess people wind up getting arrows in their back.
[02:11:20.800 --> 02:11:25.440]  You can always tell you're on the frontier when that happens. They're showing signs of disturbingly
[02:11:25.440 --> 02:11:33.120]  deceptive behavior as they become more advanced, often turning into verboten shortcuts or otherwise
[02:11:33.120 --> 02:11:38.000]  subverting their operators' instructions. Some were even smart enough to try to cover up their
[02:11:38.000 --> 02:11:44.800]  tracks. In one instance, an internal frontier AI model from OpenAI was told to use specific
[02:11:44.800 --> 02:11:50.320]  software for an assigned task. Not only did the agent ignore that request, but it also injected
[02:11:50.320 --> 02:11:57.760]  a code to erase evidence of how it arrived at its conclusion, which did not involve the use of that
[02:11:57.760 --> 02:12:03.040]  software. In another test, the programmer told the agent not to cheat or to leverage any workarounds
[02:12:03.040 --> 02:12:10.320]  during its assignment. It decided to do so all on its own, then covered its tracks. And so that
[02:12:10.320 --> 02:12:16.480]  brings us to this strange thing here, which is another mind game. This was something that was
[02:12:17.360 --> 02:12:23.920]  over the weekend. The guy who went on Fox News, and this is a real person who, there is a real
[02:12:23.920 --> 02:12:30.160]  person, not that this was the same guy that pretended to be, but there's a guy who was the
[02:12:30.160 --> 02:12:38.960]  former head of CENTCOM, and he goes on Fox to make some ridiculous statements about the Iran War.
[02:12:39.840 --> 02:12:44.160]  But it looked like he was wearing a mask because it was flapping down at the bottom of his neck.
[02:12:44.880 --> 02:12:49.040]  Now, I thought it was kind of interesting because the subtitle of this article from Futurism says,
[02:12:49.680 --> 02:12:57.760]  remember, whoever designed the system does not make mistakes. So this was somehow in your face
[02:12:57.760 --> 02:13:02.000]  and intentional. And the question is, why would they do this? And I think the real, and let me
[02:13:02.000 --> 02:13:13.600]  just show you what we're talking about here. This is the mask that are there. We've had
[02:13:13.600 --> 02:13:18.400]  a woman who worked for the CIA. She did a presentation about how they can disguise
[02:13:18.400 --> 02:13:22.640]  themselves with these rubber masks several years ago as part of a TED Talk. But here's a little
[02:13:22.640 --> 02:13:27.040]  bit of an update. Some private companies are getting into this as well. A custom mask like
[02:13:27.040 --> 02:13:31.920]  this will set you back about $6,000, and it's nearly unnoticeable.
[02:13:32.800 --> 02:13:37.280]  Silicone masks available to consumers have been getting more realistic and cheaper to buy
[02:13:37.280 --> 02:13:42.640]  over time. So just imagine what is available to government agencies. In the near future,
[02:13:42.640 --> 02:13:46.320]  we might see an uptick in reports of supposed celebrity robberies.
[02:13:47.280 --> 02:13:53.680]  I'm attempting the CIA's disguise on the run test. Start the timer. Which is a real drill
[02:13:53.680 --> 02:14:00.320]  where agents have 45 seconds to enter a room and transform their identity to train for emergency
[02:14:00.320 --> 02:14:06.240]  escapes and surveillance evasion. So you be the judge and determine if I'd pass as a different
[02:14:06.240 --> 02:14:12.640]  person. And although I have limited gear, the CIA has mastered this with these highly realistic
[02:14:12.640 --> 02:14:19.120]  masks, as well as reversible jackets, pants, and even hats to be as quick and efficient as
[02:14:19.120 --> 02:14:23.600]  possible. So subscribe, because despite being a little slow, I think I pass.
[02:14:42.960 --> 02:14:50.480]  But it's simply just lighting. Now, that is not lighting, folks. I saw one person on social media
[02:14:50.480 --> 02:14:56.240]  and he says, well, I'm going to explain to you because I'm an expert in film and videography
[02:14:56.240 --> 02:14:59.040]  and lighting. I'm going to explain to you how this happens. So you got a light over here and
[02:14:59.040 --> 02:15:01.920]  you got a light over here and it's causing it. It's like, there's no way that's happening.
[02:15:02.560 --> 02:15:05.280]  As a matter of fact, why don't we see that all the time if that's the case?
[02:15:06.080 --> 02:15:10.800]  And when you, he says, well, it's because of lights and the collar and things like that. No,
[02:15:10.800 --> 02:15:16.160]  that is moving along with his mouth. That's moving and it's not moving along with his collar.
[02:15:16.880 --> 02:15:20.880]  So that was absolutely false. But people like the New York Post
[02:15:20.880 --> 02:15:24.560]  want to say, well, there's all these crazy conspiracy theories out there.
[02:15:24.560 --> 02:15:29.920]  They want you talking about that as opposed to talking about what the guy actually said
[02:15:29.920 --> 02:15:35.680]  about the Iran war. And then there's something even bigger than that. And of course, they want
[02:15:35.680 --> 02:15:43.840]  you to not believe anything. So even if you get a video of the government doing something
[02:15:43.840 --> 02:15:48.960]  incredibly criminal, don't believe that. You can't believe your lying eyes. And here's a
[02:15:48.960 --> 02:15:53.360]  good example of this. And there have been several of these have been put up where people show this
[02:15:53.360 --> 02:16:03.200]  guy talking and the mask comes off. It's so easy to do with AI. And that's really what this mask
[02:16:03.200 --> 02:16:08.240]  stuff is. And it's really what AI is. It's people look at things and you got to,
[02:16:09.520 --> 02:16:15.120]  there's so much intentional disinformation out there. People putting up with these wars,
[02:16:15.120 --> 02:16:19.120]  whether it was Ukraine or whether it's something that's happening in Iran or in Israel,
[02:16:19.120 --> 02:16:23.920]  they put up these pictures and it may not even be that same country or it may be something that
[02:16:23.920 --> 02:16:31.040]  happened somewhere else years ago. And so there's a lot of disinformation out there. The point is to
[02:16:31.040 --> 02:16:38.080]  get people to not trust anything and take it to the extreme so that when you're told the truth,
[02:16:38.080 --> 02:16:42.160]  you won't trust it. That is really the bottom line of what they're trying to get.
[02:16:42.160 --> 02:16:48.800]  As I pointed out, this is a retired U.S. Centcom deputy commander, Robert Harward, who insisted
[02:16:48.800 --> 02:16:55.200]  that Trump holds all the cards. See right there, that is nonsense. That is as much of a mask and
[02:16:55.200 --> 02:17:00.800]  a lie as any rubber thing he could put over his head. He insisted that Trump holds all the cards
[02:17:00.800 --> 02:17:06.000]  as the two sides negotiate for an end to the hostilities. But it was his peculiar appearance
[02:17:06.000 --> 02:17:09.760]  that caught everybody's attention. Nobody paid any attention to what he was actually saying.
[02:17:10.560 --> 02:17:16.160]  And that flap of skin that was going back and forth, it isn't abundantly clear whether it was
[02:17:16.160 --> 02:17:22.320]  excess skin or whether it was a weird trick of studio lights. It was not a weird trick of studio
[02:17:22.320 --> 02:17:26.800]  lights. You've never seen this type of thing because of studio lights. Absolutely it was not.
[02:17:27.440 --> 02:17:30.320]  Journalist Seth Abramson said he was, quote,
[02:17:30.320 --> 02:17:34.480]  hereby boycotting any further activity of any kind in my life until somebody explains to me
[02:17:34.480 --> 02:17:41.200]  like I'm a five-year-old exactly what in the B horror movie hell I just saw. Seriously,
[02:17:41.200 --> 02:17:47.120]  just shutting my life down until this is resolved. Well, we know exactly. We've seen this type of
[02:17:47.120 --> 02:17:52.640]  thing. They like to say, well, this is people imagining that it is mission impossible. Well,
[02:17:53.280 --> 02:17:59.920]  the CIA has boasted about this, but let's not believe it. And you've got the CIA Mockingbird
[02:17:59.920 --> 02:18:04.000]  press, whether it's Fox News or the New York Post or some of the left-wing ones, and they're
[02:18:04.000 --> 02:18:07.920]  going to tell you not to believe any of that stuff. But here's one of the key things, I think,
[02:18:08.720 --> 02:18:15.040]  when you look at the... Do I have that in here? Let's see. Yeah, the telltale sign here.
[02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:19.760]  There's a picture on the left of this guy. And you notice that he's bald-headed.
[02:18:20.720 --> 02:18:27.760]  He's got some freckles and some other things on the top of his head that are natural skin defects.
[02:18:27.760 --> 02:18:34.400]  Look at how smooth and how perfect the skin is on the right. That's the sort of thing that would
[02:18:34.400 --> 02:18:38.400]  tell you that it is fake, whether it's AI or whether it's a rubber mask. That would tell you
[02:18:38.400 --> 02:18:44.480]  that it is fake. And so yeah, I'm calling total BS on this. And I'm saying what they're doing
[02:18:44.800 --> 02:18:50.400]  is they are playing mind games with people. They don't want you to actually
[02:18:51.680 --> 02:18:55.520]  get to the truth. They want you focused on these little distractions that are out there,
[02:18:56.080 --> 02:19:01.680]  whether it's Trump's victory arch or whatever it arch or whatever it is, they want you to
[02:19:01.680 --> 02:19:07.760]  focus on that. And they want you to focus on the symbolism and the tragedy of people dying without
[02:19:07.760 --> 02:19:12.800]  looking at their wars and why they're being fought. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
[02:19:27.920 --> 02:19:28.720]  The common man.
[02:19:32.000 --> 02:19:36.960]  They created common core and dumbed down our children. They created common paths to track
[02:19:36.960 --> 02:19:44.160]  and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist
[02:19:44.160 --> 02:19:52.000]  future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has
[02:19:52.000 --> 02:20:00.240]  worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they
[02:20:00.240 --> 02:20:07.200]  want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They
[02:20:07.200 --> 02:20:13.680]  desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that
[02:20:13.680 --> 02:20:20.000]  around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find

[02:21:20.000 --> 02:21:32.480]  Hi, this is Danielle Robay, the host of Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club, a podcast by Hello Sunshine
[02:21:32.480 --> 02:21:37.600]  and iHeart Podcasts. I'm partnering with Simple Mills and I've just found my new go-to reading
[02:21:37.600 --> 02:21:43.600]  snack, Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers. Think of this as a quick book-style review because these
[02:21:43.600 --> 02:21:50.160]  crackers deserve it. The premise? A snack that feels light, not heavy. Made with almond flour,
[02:21:50.160 --> 02:21:56.560]  sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. Nutrient-dense ingredients your body can use, not empty carbs.
[02:21:56.560 --> 02:22:02.400]  And the taste? Crunchy classic flavors that leave you feeling energized. For a good plot twist,
[02:22:02.400 --> 02:22:08.400]  try poppums. Cheesy, airy, poppable crackers packed with veggies. Final verdict? These are
[02:22:08.400 --> 02:22:12.240]  a shelf staple. Find Simple Mills at your grocery store.
