491 - Bombing Beirut, Back To Butler & Melania’s Mission

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tim Dylan show. We hope you are well out there. Donald Trump, our president, is embroiled in a feud with many of his closest supporters. And I think he should change the subject. I am in the minority here. But here's let me come out and defend Trump right now. Can I defend him? Let me defend him. I don't care if he staged the assassination attempt at Butler. I don't care. I don't care. And I think he should admit it. I think he should admit it. I should change the subject. Stop talking about Iran. Just admit you staged it in Butler. It was the heat of the campaign. People do crazy things in campaigns. I think I'm speaking just for myself. I will not think less of you if you admit to staging and faking the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. I will be impressed by the level of coordination. Explain to us how you did it. Kind of like those David Copperfield behind that. And I know that David Copperfield had some Epstein links. Folks, that's either here or there. I'm trying to explain the way a magician will show you how they do their trick. I think Donald Trump should do a one hour special on Barry Weiss's CBS news. This is a great idea with Barry members of the Mossad and Trump to discuss how they fabricated and staged the assassination attempt. Now, of course, a real person died and that's terrible. R.A.P. and they should say that in high stakes, things like this, stuff like that happens. Imagine a town hall where Barry Weiss interviews Donald Trump about staging the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. It would be an amazing because it's a fascinating topic. Whichever way you stand, however you come down on it, some people are going to go, well, it was wrong that he did that. And some people like myself are going to be more interested in the how. How did you do it? It's it's fascinating. Joe Kent, who's, you know, the he resigned from the intelligence, national intelligence. I don't even know anymore what these things are called. Tulsi Gabbard is the head of it, the director of national intelligence, the DNI. And Joe Kent was, I guess, her deputy director and he resigned. And he's kind of alluded to the fact that maybe like, maybe the assassination was like not something that we, we don't know the full story. So maybe it was staged, maybe it was faked, maybe it was some kind of message to him, although I don't understand that because it, it almost, I mean, I don't get it. I don't get how close you would come the ear, the top of the ear. But I think maybe it was staged. And that, and I think now is the time to just come out and say, some people are going to be upset by this. But we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it is and how important it was to vote for me and how, how far I was willing to go for them. Sure, some people will be upset if he admits it. I'm not one of them. I'm not one of them. I stand by Trump if he comes out and says, I fake this. I stand by him. I don't mind that. I don't mind the pageantry of that, the skill, the technique. I don't mind that. It actually, it's a little endearing that he'd be willing because there's not no danger in a fake assassination attempt, right? Right? There's some danger. If you do a stunt in a movie, people die all the time, right? So there is still danger. And if he said, I staged it and we faked it, but they explained to me before we did it, Mr. he wasn't present yet, but they said, Donald, you could die doing this staged assassination. We don't think it'll happen, but it is difficult. And we don't know what's going to happen. I think this would be fascinating for the country. And it would move us in the right direction because this is what, let's take a look again, but they're Pennsylvania. It's a little bit old, that chart, that chart's a couple of months old. And if you want to really see something to say, take a look at what happened. Now a lot of people say that when he gets up here, that the fact that they, that he gets up and that they move very slowly and he goes, wait, wait, wait. And he comes back and they do the photo op. A lot of people are saying that's evidence. I'm not saying this, by the way, people are saying it's like letting him up like that when they don't know if there's another shooter. A lot of people are saying, maybe it's a staged assassination. I'm saying, I don't care if it is. I think it was very well done. No, David, truly, I'm saying, I don't care. That is important for our country, whether it was real or fake. It is the moment where George W. Bush stood into the rubble of 9/11, which they also might have done. And with the bullhorn said, I hear you, people around the world hear you, and the people who brought these buildings down are going to hear from all of us soon. These are important moments in our country, whether they are real or fake. Not every historic moment is going to be real, and if you think it is or has to be, you have an overly simplistic understanding of history. It was important that moment when he said fight, fight, fight. It was important, and this look at the people here. Does it matter if it's real? It's so emotional, and to me, I don't, I think, do you think people would be angry if you just said we staged it? I mean, some people would. I think most people would, but here's the problem. I wouldn't. Does that make me crazy that I wouldn't? Does that make me, it does, huh? It makes me, I tell you right now, I'm not even kidding. I am not kidding. If he said we staged this whole thing, I would laugh. I would not be mad. I'm mad about Iran. I'm mad that we've gotten American servicemen, I think it's just men, but I always say men and women. And if we make a kill, I'm sorry. The fact that anyone is dying for this war, I'm completely against. That makes me angry. It makes me angry that we've done this. It makes me angry that we're still giving Israel military aid. It makes me angry. But if he just came out and said, by the way, we rehearsed that. We staged it. It was a production. I'm personally not angry. I don't know what that says about me. I laugh. And I, you know what it is? I go Donnie. It's a Donnie T thing. I go Donnie T. You got us again. You got us and, and by the way, I'm not saying it was staged. Other people are that kind of work in the government. I'm just saying if it was staged, come out and say it. Sit down with Barry Weiss, friend of the show Barry Weiss, who's doing a great job at CBS, by the way. I don't know if you've heard of this. Tens of people are watching. And she's about to take a sledgehammer to 60 minutes, their most iconic news magazine. So Barry Weiss brings him on and talks him and goes, Mr. President, this is Barry Weiss. Welcome to CBS. Many people are angry that you admitted to fabricating your own assassination on television. But you knew how high stakes the select And you knew that if you didn't kill the itola in Iran, no one would. So, can you tell us why it was so important to stage your own assassination? And he would, and he would, and I think that would be a fascinating show. That would be a fascinating Israel, by the way, bombing bay route 100 times in how long was it? Was it an hour? Ten minutes. Ten minutes. You know, I'm, and I don't want to, guys, guys, I like don't want to be, I don't always want to be like down on Israel, but I got to be honest, a hundred times in what, ten minutes in a densely populated urban area, I'm really starting to get the feeling and I'm just saying this. I'm starting to get the feeling that this country, Israel is a little bit of a problem. I'm starting to get this nagging feeling that Israel doesn't really want this ceasefire. They don't want it to work. Take a look here, explosions, rock bay route, as Israel carries out its biggest attack. Now, by the way, stop this for a minute. Israel claims in all of these buildings there are terrorists doing terrorist things. Like thinking, I don't know what that even means, but apparently, there are terrorists everywhere talking about attacking Israel. And Israel has to kill everyone to make sure that none of these terrorists find a way to do it. So Israel just kind of like wholesale blowing up apartment complexes because within that apartment complex, there are, I guess, terrorists. This is what all these brilliant people keep telling us. All the advocates of the Israeli strategy here that there are terrorists in this apartment complex. So we just got to light it up. We just got to blow it up. And who's this absolute bombshell on Sky News? A Lebanese rescue worker completely dismantles the Israeli military narrative. He confirms the bomb area in bay route was purely civilian with zero Hezbollah presence. Israeli, Israel internationally targeted innocent children and the elderly. Here's the problem when you embrace this total war that Israel seems to be embracing their, their argument is we're going to kill everyone. And then some of those people will be terrorists. That's that's really their argument. Their argument is like if we kill everyone, inevitably, some of the people will be terrorists or like, you know, whatever, take our word for it. But we have to kill everyone just to make sure because anyone who's thinking about becoming a terrorist or anyone who knows the terrorist or who might grow up to be a terrorist has to be eliminated. So they've taken this strategy, which by the way, I've never even seen this in like 41 years of my life. I've never seen the brutality of this type of warfare. Now, I'm sure it's existed. I'm not an idiot. But this idea that you would just go in and bomb a hundred targets in 10 minutes and a lot of the more civilians when you are mass occurring people, women and children, I mean, the blowback that Israel will get from this and that the United States will get from funding it is going to be insane. You're creating terrorists all over the world that are seeing this bloodshed and it's going to radicalize them to commit acts of terror. You can't just indiscriminately kill civilians and not expect that people are going to be radicalized and driven to violence. And Israel doesn't want the ceasefire to last with Iran. They don't. They want the Iranian regime completely neutered. They want it to be a dysfunctional country. They want it to look like Gaza. They want it to at least be Syria where you have either a puppet government. You have kind of a dysfunctional country. They don't want an Iranian regime that is stronger and more dedicated to getting nuclear weapons than they were, but that's what they're going to get. That's what they're going to get because it's pretty clear to everybody who's honest that we've lost. We are objectives in this war have not been met. We simply are walking away and we should, but the only way to win is like a hundred thousand troops or a nuke. That's the only way to win. And there's people in the country that want a nuke used. And there's people that have argued for that at high levels, truly, that are saying, why don't you drop a nuke on Iran? And if we go after the Iranian infrastructure, their energy infrastructure, they're going to hit energy infrastructure in the Gulf. The price of oil is going to skyrocket. We're going to have a global energy crisis. So we've lost. There's nowhere to go. It's checkmate. We can't do the things we think we can. We are we're tweeting. We're truth socialing, whatever. We're trying to win the war on social media. And we're not even doing that because can you do you have the Lego thing up? Can you get that Lego video? We're not even winning the shit talking war. We're not even winning that. The shit talk. You think America would win that at least if we're going to win one thing, we're getting bodied by Iranian AI in the war of shit talk. Truly, how embarrassing. We're the country that invented shit talk and we're getting lit up. Take a look. Orange pig. America first. Oops. Oh boy. That was the slogan you sold, but baby's pulling strings and your vote is getting cold. We're not just fighting for Iran. Here this clear. Your people reached out to us. Yeah, we got the dams here. If one nation is going to stand against the Epstein regime's fear, it's us to the last breath we've been doing it for years. We're standing here for everyone. How are we losing it? Yes. We're getting bodied with the Lego stuff. I mean, we're not even winning that. We're losing that. We're losing that. I mean, it's unbelievable. God. Well, at least the state of California is doing good. Gavin Newsome came out and touted some figures that show that the state of California, where I'm sitting right now, is the, is it the fourth largest economy in the world? Because we just beat Japan and India, but we didn't beat them by much, by the way. And some of that has to do with, you know, the currency strength of the dollar and things like that. But California is right now. I believe the, we have a four trillion dollar gross domestic product. And it accounts for more than 14% of US output. And this outpaced major economies. And I believe we're number, we were number five, but now we are number four. We are number four in rank. California is number four in rank when it comes to GDP and growth. But everyone I know wants to kill themselves. Because California also has a terrible consumer confidence rating, like the The rest of America, by the way, people feel very insecure economically, but because California has five big tech companies and they're run by five guys who are all in some way Satan, those companies account for a ton of the wealth being generated in California. It's a tech heavy state. And all of those companies we're talking about things like Alphabet, Nvidia, Open AI, all of these things. This is a big part of why California is kicking ass. California's future growth will be intimately tied to the fortunes of his tech industry to get some idea of how tech-driven California's economy has become during the New Stimulus. I looked at market capitalizations of large publicly traded companies before he took office versus today. At the end of 2018, about 60% of California, big public company market cap was from tech. Today is about 80%. So it's gone up about 20%. And the increase in this ratio is driven by the sharp increase in the value of a few companies. Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, which is Google, Broadcom, Meta, which is Facebook, all these companies are now worth more than a trillion dollars. While back in 2018, none of them was worth more than $750 billion. So all these tech companies are trillion dollar companies. They account for a massive amount of the GDP. By contrast, California's other signature industry, movie and television production. Hi shrunk. On location shoot days in LA plummeted 53% from late 2019 to late 2024. While soundstage occupancy fell from around 90% to just 63%. Iconic studios/staff, prop houses shuttered and vendors went bankrupt. Entertainment can no longer be considered a tent pole of the California economy. So by the way, this is the future of the United States. Tech is everything. It's everything. These firms employ relatively few people to if you compare it to like what General Motors employed at the height of, you know, or Chrysler or companies like that. Tech companies employ very few people relative to those companies and they're shedding jobs because AI is doing a lot more. So a lot of the jobs that would have been traditional tech jobs are going away. And these companies, Nvidia, Alphabet, Google, you know, which is Alphabet, you know, Apple Meta. These companies are, so this is why Newsom, every interview, he's talks about we have more engineers. We're graduating more engineers. We have more doctors. We have more tech. We have more this. We have more that. But then you drive down the highway and someone who's bleeding is wandering across the highway in some like altered mental state. And that's coming soon to a theater near you. This is exactly what happens when the entire country is the entire economic output of the country is a few tech companies worth a trillion dollars run by different versions of Satan. Again, their words don't mind. This is what happens. But the rest of California is just left to like figure it out. So you go, wow, this is because you say to yourself, wow, what is the fourth largest economy in America look like? Like if I went to LA, it's the, I'm sorry, not America, the fourth largest economy in the world. What would that look like? If I went to the fourth largest economy in the world, you're expecting something. You're going, wow, I bet it's clean. I bet the people seem productive. I bet things run efficiently. So fourth largest economy in the world. I bet it's safe because there's enough money. I bet the standard of living's pretty high. I bet they've taken care of the vulnerable members of their society. I'm sure there's not rampant crime. It's the fourth largest economy in the world. And if you went to the flagship city of that, which is Los Angeles, you'd be like horrified. You'd be absolutely horrified. You'd be going what's going on? Why are there people sleeping on the street? Why are there people overdosing in the whole foods? Why are there people going face down into a whole foods Caesar salad and dying? Why are there blue lip fentanyl addicts having seizures at the bus stop? And you go, oh, because this economy is run by five companies locked away in northern California. And that allows Gavin Newsom to go out and go, whoa, oh, hey, nobody's more productive than us like this in a video CEO. I forget this guy's name. Jensen. Huang Huang. Jensen Huang. Jensen Huang urged people to move to California despite the high taxes. Just a group of billionaires left a state in recent months under the threat of a new wealth tax. I say to everybody. Jensen says, move to California. Don't leave. It's the highest taxes in the world, but it's okay. Now Huang Jensen Huang is the world's 10th richest person. And he said, the weather is great during an event at Stanford on Thursday. He goes to weather is great. So this is who California is now for the 10th richest part. By the way, it may even work if you're like the 30th richest person in the world. You might love it. It's it's totally fine. If you're not even in the top 20, you could be like the 35th richest person in the world and get along fine here. But you might wonder if you're in the fourth most productive economy in the whole world, why people are dying in front of you. That might that might cross your mind. You know, like you can we can all people can argue about the reasons why but everybody knows it's happening. People in the far right, far left, checked out, center, whatever. Everybody can see that it's happening in the in the fourth most productive economy in the country. Everybody says, well, that's interesting. And then by the way, just talk to anyone in California. Talk to them and ask them how things are going. That's like a very non scientific poll. Just be like, what's up guys? How are you how are you feeling? Because nobody feels great. Except that this guy who likes to weather who's the 10th richest person in the world. Go speak to anyone in LA. I'm not talking about like Paris Hilton. Go find a person in Los Angeles and ask them how they're doing. Waiter, waitress, somebody who works at a gym, somebody who used to be a cameraman, somebody who used to work in set design, find any of those people. I see how they're doing. How are they doing? How do they feel? Do they feel like they're the fourth most productive economy in the world? Does it feel like that? No, because it's all balanced on these five companies. And all of those companies are trying to take the jobs of everybody else. So by the way, it's still going to be California will still be the fourth largest economy in the world when everyone's out of work. And it's a full on zombie apocalypse and hordes of people are running around on some new designer drug, trying to eat each other. It will still be in fact at that point. It might be the third largest economy in the world. California might go up because they might have they might have just said, fuck it. These companies are making more money. We fired everybody. And the airplanes won't be able to land because hordes of zombies will be running around LAX and they'll have to mow them down. They'll have to mow the zombies down on the runway at LAX. They'll go, ladies and gentlemen, we're having a slight delay here. We're going to have to circle the airport at LAX. We do have an incident on one of the runways, the runway that we were clear to land at. So we're just going to circle the airport. This is very routine. Don't worry about it. And then what will happen is people will come out with guns and then shoot the hordes of zombies on runway 3L so that your plane can land. And there will be bodies of zombies that they light on fire. And you'll see them, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Los Angeles. Sorry about the delay there. But we still got in about 10 minutes ahead of schedule. We have, of course, as you can see in incident that we're still responding to, because you got to remember they're going to be burning the bodies of the zombies at LAX. They'll be burning the bodies of the zombies when you're flight lands. And at that point, California will be the third largest economy. It'll have gone up one because they'll have eliminated some of the overhead, all the pesky overhead. They will have eliminated it. They don't need the people anymore. So they'll go, they'll be 17 people at that point living in the Bay Area. And they'll all have a trillion dollars. They'll be 17 people living in the Bay Area. And they'll have houses with security and clock towers with guys with guns. And then everybody else is going to be running around like the fucking, you know, fucking, that's the zombie one, the big one that was the popular one. What was it? What was it years later? No, the TV show. Walking dead. Yeah, it's going to be like the walking dead and then 17 people and they're going to come out and the governor whoever it is at that point will come out and go with the third. We're very proud to be the third largest economy in the world. And we graduate more engineers than ever. And then it'll just be 17 people that live in northern California. They all have at that point they'll have two trillion dollar companies. Their companies will be worth two trillion dollars because they'll have figured out a way to completely replace, you know, they'll take humans out of most things. So it'll drive the profits up astronomically. Let's take a look here because it's too depressing. Let's look here though. Let's cheer ourselves up. The great Melania Trump friend of the show, having a impromptu press conference, basically saying, Hey, I didn't really know Jeffrey Epstein stop bothering me. Now no one really knows why Melania did this. She's suing Hunter Biden for billion dollars because he said that Epstein introduced her and Trump. I believe she's in a lawsuit with the writer Michael Wolfe. I don't know if that was settled or not. But Melania calls this like impromptu press conference. And she's basically like, listen, I don't, I didn't know Jeffrey Epstein. I knew she's slain for a casually. And I never go to the island with Donald. And I never go there. I do not have sex with the children. I do not rape the children. I do not eat the children. I am not a cannibal. People say to me, you go to Ireland and you're a cannibal. I am not cannibal. I do not sacrifice the children. And I do not eat the children. So here's a first lady of the United States reminding everyone she does not eat the children. She does not sacrifice the children to ball and she does not eat them. Now by the way, I appreciate this type of transparency because we don't get it all the time. So here again, first lady saying she does not sacrifice the children to ball and does not eat them. Melania Trump. Good afternoon. The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. Correct. The individuals lying about me, a devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance, but rather, I reject their mean spirited attempts to defend my reputation. I never been friends with Epstein. I never had been friends, stop it for a minute, what a great, what a great, I never have been friends with Epstein. I never have been friends with Epstein. What a great, I mean, what, do you ever sit back and just go what timeline are we on? Like what portal have we gone through? Where have we landed? It keeps trying to get the aliens going and no one cares because this is all more interesting. You know, no one cares. They keep trying to dare like another scientist was killed. No one cares. No one cares. I talked about it a few episodes ago. It's just people don't resonate with that because this is more interesting. The human drama here. This is the first lady of the United States. Go back to that. I want to hear that again. First of her speech. I never been friends with Epstein, Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. Okay, stop it for a minute. Here's what she's telling you. We're rich. We're rich and here she has a point. Let's talk about her point. She's saying I'm wealthy and I'm attractive. Many of you aren't either one of those things. So the parties you get invited to are like your sisters fucking retirement party where your fat sister has stopped teaching biology at the high school. So there's a retirement party for your sister and they rented out the back of an Italian restaurant and you get invited to that and you know who's not there, Epstein or anybody. And she's, she's explaining you like this is the way the world works like you live in a place I've never heard of and you go to your sister's retirement party and the teachers get up and they make a couple of jokes about your sister as a teacher and how she was a real hard ass and kids were like, don't fuck with Miss Miller or whatever. And that's your, those are the parties that you go to, but we live in Manhattan. I'm attractive. My husband's a billionaire, we go out in New York City so it's common in New York City to bump into people and you don't understand it because you're an animal. And she goes, I have a documentary about this called Melania where they talk about my life and I fly in private planes. You go to an airport and you eat a fucking ant and he's pencil and you sit there and you told you a flight was delayed, but I get on a G five at Tita burrow, which is an airport you've never heard of and I fly and I land in Palm Beach and I go to the country club that my husband owns and I live there. And occasionally we bump into war criminals, human traffickers, you know, people that are involved in overthrowing governments. This is what this is who we go to dinner with. You don't. So let's, let's, let's give her the benefit of the doubt here a little bit. I don't know her relationship with Epstein. I'm just saying her point that she's living in an entirely different world than you has to is true. That's true. And I like that she doesn't shy away from that because this is the way it is. Everybody wants to know how it is. It tastes is how it is. And she goes, I, I'm not like you. I don't need to jab myself for those damn pick before I go to fucking see these pizza buffet so I can only eat one slice, you monster. I live in Manhattan and Palm Beach with my husband and we get invited to parties. Keep going. Melania Trump. To be clear. Right. I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a tribal note. Travel note? Did she say trivial note, travel note or tribal note? I think she meant trivial. Can you go back again and hear this that tribal note, trivial travel? Hold on. Doesn't amount to anything more than a tribal note. Right. Trivial, I think she meant. OK. I am not Epstein's victim. Right. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at the New York City party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in a detail in my book Melania. The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000, at an event Donald and I attended together. At the time, I had never met Epstein. It was a child auction and the brought the children into the plaza hotel and auctioned them to different businessmen. I was very uncomfortable and I told the Donald. Why they have the children in the auction and he said "You're from Eastern Europe, you know how these things work, but I was uncomfortable, so I went home." No knowledge of his criminal undertakings. Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculated. Yeah, by the way, all right, we don't have to watch this whole thing. Here's my thing with Melania. I tend to agree with her a little bit. I don't know why she's in a crosshairs here when there's genuine people that should be like literally testifying. I don't know the extent to which nobody's accusing Melania Trump of recruiting women or doing anything like that. I just don't see why Melania Trump has to deal with this and I kind of sympathize a little bit with her and not because I think she's some perfect person. And people are going to jump on me for this. I just don't know. I think she got caught in the crosshairs. She seems to just want to be like a mom like a rich mom to her cat. That's what she seemed to. And I know some people that know her slightly and they said she just really wants to be a mom to her child. So I don't think people need a dog pile. I mean, is the film is to her film the greatest. Hey, you see it. Make up your mind. But I don't think we need to be jumping on Melania Trump for this. Anthropic develops an AI tool that's too dangerous to release to the public. So they had a meeting recently where they're worried about this new AI tool that is that anthropic has come up with because what it can do is it can identify weaknesses in systems so that this meeting with Scott Best and Treasury Secretary Silicon Valley started anthropic has restricted access to its latest AI system. The company said its clawed mythos preview model was so good at finding critical security flows and computer systems that it could reshape wreaking havoc if it ended up in the wrong hands. The system has already discovered thousands of security vulnerabilities, including flaws in the most popular web browsers and operating systems. Anthropic said was giving a group of the world's top tech companies, including Amazon Apple and Microsoft access to the system under an agreement called project glass wing so that they would be able to fix any of the security flaws that it discovered. And hacking has seen as a major risk from advanced AI systems because of the technology's proficiency in writing computer code and its ability to automate attacks. Anthropics had mythos allowed people with no security training to discover major flaws. So for engineers in anthropic with no formal security training have asked mythos preview to find remote code execution vulnerabilities overnight and have woken up to the following morning to a complete working exploit. Reading someone very smart economist was talking about AI and they were saying that one of the biggest issues is that the AI arms race between the US and China and if you could kind of get this up I sent you a few excerpts from this. That instead of using AI as a way for the United States and China to cooperate and try to figure out how best to implement this technology to help people and to safeguard certain people's livelihoods and certain you know security protocol. It is become an arms race and it is become the main competition the main plane that we are competing with China on which is this AI race and that's incredibly dangerous for the future of humanity this is the person that. I was reading there basically saying there's a choice that can be made and the choice that can be made is that these two superpowers the US and China can choose to cooperate with AI and try to figure out ways to prevent some of the issues it's a little further down here. But that nobody nobody's done that yet writing about artificial intelligence in chapter six prasad writes with worry that AI quote robs my students of the clarity of thought that comes from shaping incoherent ideas into words and organizing those words into a coherent narrative and this was a book review of this book we're going to tell you what the book is in a second. And the reviewer was saying that's why I don't fear AI because I because I'll never stop writing such my thinking will constantly be evolving I mean sure okay. About China and the US and AI prasad crucially writes that the two countries have sadly and very unwisely turned AI quote into a form for competition rather than a platform for collaboration that could benefit. Humanity as a whole. Applied AI the way for the US and China to quote win the AI war is for governments to get out of the way so the talent can combine with talent what prevails now is anti progress go up I just want to tell people what book. This is a book from an economist may or may not have passed away S. War presides the doom loop he comments on Bitcoin he thinks it'll eventually crash. And he talks a little bit about artificial intelligence. You know in chapter six prasad exposes worry that central bank digital currencies can be used as a tool for social policy such that they couldn't be used to buy listen items porn alcohol other market goods that are not approved by governments of course the latter speaks to why quote legal tender is near meaningless. Um. He also talks about a Bitcoin and he says it's too volatile and value to serve as a reliable means of payment. And he said that he believes that Bitcoin eventually crashes. I found the AI stuff very interesting in terms of like the fact that we're in we're locked into this war now with China with AI and someone's got a win. And the person who wins will then have the AI that they will sell to all the other countries and they will have the systems that all the other countries use and they will export that technology all over the world. So that's where the next great battle is going to be it's not going to be it's happening right now. And that's why you're seeing you know Scott Besson have these meetings with people about this new. Anthropic program and they're they're out there talking to bank CEOs to warn of cyber risks posed by anthropics latest AI models they're going around all these CEOs and going listen let's not have this thing exposed. All of the fraud that we that you guys have been doing we need the last thing we need here is this AI exposing how fake this is we don't need that that is not what we need. This is built on a lot of bullshit and the last thing we need is a program identifying how easily people's money can get stolen. And how easily they're in for and their information which you people are ready stealing the last thing we need is a program to identify that so let's keep our eye on the ball. Please let's keep our eye on the ball the last thing we need is somehow this anthropic AI model figuring out how Trump fake the butler assassinate do we need that. Scott Besson sitting with the room full of people going do we need that. And he's guess is probably being a little spicy like doing needs that the last thing we need is to fit this anthropic finding out that. President Trump faked his assassination we're gonna come forward with that information when the time is right but this is now governments you have to worry about getting outed by these AI models they got to worry about these big banks have to worry about these AI models fucking them up so this is how how powerful the AI tech overlords have become that the products that are coming are going to be really disruptive to a lot of the power centers in the country things like these big Wall Street banks there was a time when the Wall Street banks ran everything and the people that worked at them were called masters of the universe you know I mean this was this was that was the top of the food chain was like the defense industry and Wall Street banks and now tech is the top industry in the United States of America they have the they're the most powerful they suck up a ton of money from the government they get a ton of taxpayer money and the products that they are coming up with are a threat genuinely to other power centers including the government access to mythos will be limited to about 40 tech companies including Microsoft and Google yeah I mean you can't just let this stuff run rampant because you don't know what it'll find you don't know what it's going to find you have no idea if you let that program loose that program is going to figure stuff out that you don't want figured out because AI is going to start to figure stuff out that's the other problem AI is going to start to figure out stuff that we don't want it to figure out he's going to be uncomfortable it's going to be even though they're programming the inputs and they're trying to keep that stuff from like people talk about if you put in you know Elon Musk deleted that tweet like Trump's in the Epstein files that's where they haven't come out yet and then if you ask rock about it rocks like why don't really know and then like people on X are showing you that like it takes rock a little bit to then admit that yeah well like yeah I guess that tweet was real like that's quote that's exactly what we expect from those models are going to become better at developing hacking tools biological weapons chemical weapons novel weapons we can't even envision in one instance detailed and anthropics testing mythos broke out of a secure sandbox meant to restrict internet access with a researcher only finding out quote by receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating a sandwich in a park in another case mythos found a flaw in open BSD operating system that has been hidden in plain sight for 27 years so these programs are they are going to figure out eventually not to scare anybody not to disturb anybody they're gonna figure out eventually how to eliminate because they're their goal is to make things efficient and there's nothing less efficient than the human person the beauty of humanity the you know you know deeply fragile nature of humans their bodies their minds the human experience will be the will be targeted by these programs eventually there's no way that these programs don't eventually figure out that the most inefficient thing on this planet and the thing that stands in the way and the thing that regulates them is the human being so that's gonna have to go that's why when they ask these guys like Peter Till how do you feel about the human race existing in a in a well you know well what do you mean because they they know by the way they know that human beings aren't going to stand a chance unless they merge with this tech unless they augment themselves with this tech it is coming sooner than you think they know they know that human beings don't stand a chance unless they are willing to be improved by this technology and then maybe they'll have a shot because it's 2026 and they're ready having meetings with these companies going listen this thing's gonna start developing weapons novel weapons to get rid of us it's just gonna ditch just what it does and instead of working with China on this stuff to figure out how to prevent this stuff we're competing with China which is the worst idea imaginable when you're dealing with shit like this it is a dick waving contest where nobody fucking wins because you're you're speeding up and accelerating the process by which this AI can become very dangerous very quickly and you're doing it without collaboration you're doing it in secret you know you're doing it in this in this militarized way and it's a very bad idea but this is coming this is coming to greatest threat to humanity will will it will 1,000 Chris not gonna be it's not gonna be you know I ran I know we all think it's I ran well the greatest threat to humanity's I ran what if I ran gets a nuke can you imagine saying that would a straight face after reading this fucking article would have retard you'd have to be how's fucking stupid you'd have to be what if I read the way because they say it these people say it the worst thing in the world will be if I ran got a nuke is it is that the worst thing is that the most dangerous thing in the world by the way after reading this article quote that's exactly what we expect from these models they're gonna become better at developing hacking tools biological weapons chemical weapons novel weapons we can't even envision but what if I ran we're gonna nuke what if I ran what if they're enriching uranium to get a nuke what of it so it's so obvious to anyone that the greatest threat to human life on planet earth is is is this technology and anyone and the and by the way the people building it will admit that they tell you that they don't even hide that because their game is we need more money they go this thing so dangerous if you don't give us all of the money I mean you have no idea what could happen you have to give us all of the money this is how we got covered by the way they kept manipulating bat coronavirus is going can you imagine if this were to get out better give us that money we need that research money better kick us another grant scaring the government into taking all the money is not new this is what every agency in Washington does whether it's the defense department homeland security CIA health to part everybody what they all have big budgets and they have projects and they have a big staff and they want money and these these guys who are creating this technology are are and we're already using it we're using it to identify targets in war and that's not turned out too hot but that's happening we're using it to find illegal immigrants we're using it domestically by the way we are building a security infrastructure online using this technology um a eyes looking for keywords and posts and 1,000 is already happening this is all already happening you're you know this is all already underway and and and now it's accelerating and it's getting to the point where the Treasury Secretary is sitting down the CEOs and big banks going listen we gotta we gotta watch out for this one this one's a fun one so it's going to be like it's going to be like like new diseases when they talk about these new models it's like new versions of COVID except the new versions of COVID pretty much you're like it does the same thing it does the same thing but these are new variants put it that way they go this variance interesting this is going to identify all the flaws in all of your systems quickly very very quickly and then they run around ago the biggest danger is I ran getting a nuke or what about Turkey we need to eliminate Turkey and we need to get out of NATO and whatever but it's it's obvious to everyone now I'm not a luttite I think some of this is inevitable I'm not I'm not you throwing away my phone I make a living on the internet that being said if you're not more concerned with these companies building a digital police state. Then you are about Iran, you're a fucking moron. I just don't know what to tell you. If you're ignoring this shit and you're worried about Iran or the sleepers, so what about the sleepers cells? What if they wake up? What if the sleepers cells wake up? You know, they've been sleeping in America for 30 years. And as soon as someone wakes them up, it's going to be carnit like if that's where your mind goes when it comes to threats, you're a moron. It's very obviously emanating from here. And if we don't figure out how to regulate and supervise this, this 1000% is going to lead to a feudal society with lords who live in manners. We're going to go back to the Middle Ages and we're ready there. By the way, I'll drive you through Los Angeles, the fourth biggest economy in the world. And you can see feudal lords living in palatial estates and on the side of the street, people with the black plague. And the black plague is fentanyl or heroin or whatever it is or drugs we haven't heard of. And they're dying and they're laying there on the street in similar to the way they would have in the Middle Ages. And we're just going back to that. We're just going back to that. And the religiosity will come back and they'll talk about certain people. That's why they're all wrapping themselves in Christianity. That's why because they know that in order to sell this to the American people, they have to seem nonthreatening or they have to feel, you know, they have to seem like that they can, you know, trace the acceptance of this technology and trace it to some deeper spiritual purpose and liken it to some spiritual journey that everyone's on together. And together is a real speculative word because trust me, there are everyone's not going to be getting the chip. And I don't want the chip. But I'm saying the chip that's going to detect the heart attack, it's going to detect cancer, the chip that's going to cause everyone, by the way, and somebody said this on Sam Harris' podcast recently, they're like, everyone can't live to 150 years, although it create a hell of a lot of problems. So there is no plan for you to live to 150 years old, most of you listening to this. But the people in those houses right now in North California do want to live forever or a very long time. They want to live a very, very long time because spoiler alert, they don't really believe that anything happens when you say bye-bye or whatever they believe we don't know. But they certainly are not in a rush to find out. So this is an interesting moment in human history. I've been doing this show 10 years. I started it in a spare bedroom on Avenue B, shout out to Lewis J. Gomez and Ralph Sutton. Castigial Network. But I started 10 years ago, and over the last year, the AI Slop has flowed into my algorithm at an alarming pace. You know, it's just here now, and I feel like this all began about a year ago, would you say that that's true? You started noticing that it was a little more than a year, maybe 18 months ago. And there's a lot of content on the phone now is just, it's not verifiable. You know, some of it has AI on it, some of it doesn't, people fight about what it is or what it is. We're already losing complete control over reality, whether we know it or not. You're already losing control over reality. How much to the, well, I don't even care anymore. I go, is this mental strike real or not? I don't even care. I don't even care. But we're already losing our idea of what reality even is, and it's happening pretty fucking quickly. And the next thing we lose is what is a human being. That will be the next thing that we lose, what constitutes a human being? What is the difference? And that's coming. It's not coming tomorrow, but that's going to be a debate about what, you know, you're augment yourself, get the chip, the neural link, whatever. What are you considered now, are you considered a human being or you considered some other thing? And that's coming. And we're looking at the end of humanity. Truly. I mean, there's no other way to say it. I'm not being dramatic and the people will admit that. They will say, yeah, we're not going to be able to fucking, we're not going to be able to stave off programs like this unless we ourselves merge with the same technology. We're not going to have a shot. We're not going to have any shot unless we are ready. So if Donald Trump sat down with Barry Weiss and said, we used AI to do the whole thing in Butler, Pennsylvania, Barry and she go, that's so fascinating. She goes, he goes, Barry, we used AI to do the whole thing. If you just admitted it, if you just said, what amazing things we can do with AI, we staged that entire assassination using artificial intelligence was amazing. I don't think the American people would be angry. I for one would stand up and say, I'm proud of my president again. I'm sorry he killed those girls in that school, but I'm proud of my president again. He used AI to fake his own assassination attempt so he could win the presidency and pull out of NATO so that Israel could fight Turkey. And that would make me proud and it should make you proud too. Good night.
