When I was a kid, young, young, young, young, young, the first music I ever remember hearing where somebody said to me, that's really good stuff, that's great.
Was Bossa Nova or Bossa Nova.
It was Gio Gioberto at the time and Sergio Mendes and Jobim and Stan Getz and Quiet Nights and Corcovado and all of that.
There was a tremendous movement that was coming in the world, but it was also jazz and a lot of other things.
So because I didn't know any better, My mother at the time said, this is really good stuff.
So I started to listen to it.
And it's still my, no pun intended, it's my mother, my default music.
It's what I listen to and what I love so much.
And I thought, well this is really good.
I'm really hip.
I really know my stuff.
Boy, I really know this.
I really know this here.
Jazz stuff, you know.
And then later on she said, well, not really.
This is part of it.
And then later on I started to investigate and then Downbeat Magazine and I realized, oh my god, I don't really know anything at all.
I don't know anything about this.
I was, I mean, I knew more than a lot, but I didn't know enough.
And then later on, My friend Nat Adderley even reminded me of this.
He says, now if you really want to know what you don't know, go to Europe.
Because he one time found out, he found himself, there was a statue, it was like a museum or something to him, he didn't even know about it.
Because Europeans, and it depends upon the European country, but they really understand jazz.
See?
Same thing with blues.
Blues, it took a bunch of British kids to tell us what blues were.
So the point of my story is, you can think you know something, and you can know it kind of like from the American point of view, from the jazz, from the Kenny G point of view, you might know it from that point of view, but then you go deeper and deeper, and then you realize, wow!
Then you realize, wow, this is really complex.
And then...
When you really go deep into it, you realize, wait a minute.
Just like Mandelbrot's fractals.
I mean, there's really no end to it.
You keep going and going and going.
And then you start seeing the taproot.
You see where it all kind of connects.
But what came before that?
And what came before that?
And it was like Western.
It was obviously, you know, that kind of a...
It was Beethoven.
But there were some other things as well.
On the other side of the world, there were African intonations.
And there were Latin, which brought in, came from Africa to an extent.
Bluegrass owes itself a lot to banjo.
Where's banjo from?
Africa.
And then you get this really weird thing when you get in the country.
Oh my god, that's Appalachian.
So, I've always loved to say, okay, I want to go deeper.
I want to go deeper.
I want to go deeper.
I want to see where is this from?
Where is this from?
Where does this...
And I love when you can hear somebody and say, ah, I know who that is.
When Michael Franks came out in the 70s and 80s, 70s in particular, you heard Joe Beam.
You say, okay, I got it.
I got it.
Sade, got it.
Joe Beam, Bossa Nova, got it.
Nora Jones, got it.
You start hearing it.
It's like, oh, it's so obvious.
It's everywhere.
Sergio Mendes, they kind of laughed at him and said, well, you know, because Mashkinada, which is still probably the most, this was Jorge Benjo or Jorge, if you pronounce it in Spanish.
But Mashkinada, Black Eyed Peas, that is probably the signature.
Astro Gilberto just died.
She and Stan Getz were, oh.
So what I'm trying to tell you, As I love, Little Baby Ducks, Tom T. Hall, I love to go deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper.
See, this isn't enough.
And chances are, when you hear something on what we used to call radio, what we used to call Top 40, that's not even close to what's going on.
That's not even it.
That's not even...
And no matter the music, you'll hear...
Musicologists and historians say, no, no, no, that's not really it.
That's more...
I love watching histories of, because I don't know anything about it, hip-hop, where it came from and the various levels, where it is now, who are the stars.
I suspend from it any consideration of whether I like something.
I want to know the evolution of it.
So what I did was, I put for you, This article, this very, very, very important lecture, which every American should listen to regarding the Russian problem.
Because remember, February the 22nd, February the 22nd, 24th of last year, was the Russian, beginning of the Russian military action.
Now, Here's my question.
Was that an invasion?
What was that?
Did Russia invade Ukraine?
What precipitated it?
What was the cause of it?
What is the history of it?
Why did it happen?
Whose fault is it?
Was Russia goaded?
Did Russia...
Did Russia...
Just what happened?
What is the reason for this?
Don't even go into what was it?
Justifying reason?
What was it?
Tell me what this was.
Here is the...
The video, you must watch it.
This is John Mearsheimer.
You've heard me talk about him before.
He is the best.
He gives you a history of what's happening.
Now, if you don't listen to this, and there are others like Kotkin, you can listen to him as well, but if you don't listen to this, You will never be able to really understand what's going on and why it's important.
You simply will not know.
You will not know.
I get on these loops on YouTube.
I don't know why.
Somebody, all of a sudden, sometimes I'm on to Tim Pool, and I'm very impressed with his style.
Just as somebody who's been doing this, I like certain styles.
There are some people I like.
I like their styles.
And stylistic is the way it's presented, the look, the sound, whatever it is.
Okay.
And it's also a kind of a...
It's what talk radio sort of used to be.
So he has somebody on by the name of Emma something.
I don't know.
And she had absolutely no idea as to what happened.
She has no...
She's never one time listening to something and she has no idea what happened.
That's not what happened.
If you want to talk about the sources of World War II, and you want somebody to explain this, you have to, first of all, take out this notion of evil, this one's evil, that one's evil, understand the realism part of it, and you'll understand what happened.
But I realize she has no idea what's going on.
And it was fun because she was basically skewered.
And he became so frustrated, as I told you before, sometimes you'll talk to somebody.
And this is what I want to start with.
That was a eight and a half minute introduction.
But it proves my point.
How much do you want to know?
That's only up to you.
How much do you want to know?
How much do you want to understand this?
Do you want to?
It does not matter.
You tell me.
What is your level of Okay with this.
We have friends of ours, people who all of a sudden think they're expert in the world of child trafficking, child molestation, and the word pedophilia that has absolutely lost all connection to reality.
It's a trip word.
There's one line from Sound of Freedom where they ask, This character.
How many pedophiles have you caught?
That's not what we're after here.
This is how many traffickers, how many rapists.
That's what you want to say.
Let me ask you something.
When you are dealing with regular sex crimes and rape, what do you call those people?
Heterosexuals?
See, it doesn't work, does it?
That only works for children.
This word has so...
So when I talk to somebody, I realize you don't know what you're talking about.
You don't know what you're talking about.
You are reading the headlines.
Now, the next point is, I want you to listen to me carefully.
I don't want to go through the names.
Believe me, I don't want to.
But there's a lot about the Internet and a lot about stuff that is turning into National Enquirer.
Remember when you were in the old checkout line?
You still see them.
You still see them.
I always stop and look at them.
There's always some great headlines.
Remember Bat Boy?
There was some...
There was the Inquirer, then there was the world, and the world was, the Inquirer was crazy, then it was good.
And then there was this world, the world, or something about the world, I don't know how the world was, but it was really, it was crazy.
And that's what this is.
You're looking at National Geographic stuff.
Another thing, I want to explain something.
You have to know how to critically think.
About something.
A friend of mine, not too long ago, found out he had a form of cancer.
And I said, you better get in line right now and understand critical thinking and you're not going to replace your logic, your knowledge, your lore with an oncologist.
But I want you to understand the thinking that I realized he had no idea how to critically think.
He had never done this.
Whether it's Russia, whether it's your own personal life, whether it's problems, whether it's your whatever.
To be able to think like this, to think in layers, to think critically, to know how to attack certain things, where to start.
Do you know how many people don't know how to start off and say, they have so much to do and they say, I can't, I don't know what to do.
Make a list.
I don't make a list.
A lot of kids, you have to know how to do this.
What I'm trying to tell you is that if you want to be good to anybody, you can ask yourself this question.
Here you are, you're obviously, a lot of you great people are involved in wanting to know this and that's terrific.
How effective do you want to be?
Do you want to just do top 40 news?
Remember the old days?
We just listen to the hits.
Oh, here's this one.
Here's that.
I know a little bit about that.
A little bit about that.
Putin's a bad guy.
Zdansky's a bad guy.
This one, that.
If ever you want to know the bit about low-hanging fruit, look at all this talk about cocaine at the White House.
Dear God.
Dear God.
It is incredible how this is just...
So let me ask you your question.
What do you really want to know?
How deep do you want to go?
How effective do you want to go?
And you have to be honest with me.
You've got to tell me.
You've got to say, look, with all due respect, I really don't want to know anything.
Fine!
You sit over here.
And don't leave, but there's something here for everybody.
What about you?
Oh, I really want to go deep.
I really want to go.
Good!
You sit over here.
You're going to enjoy this a lot more.
Now, both of you I want to deal with.
Nothing wrong with you.
If you want to say, I'm really not, I just, I kind of like to just, to me it's just, I don't have enough time.
Fine!
That's okay.
You're like me with sports, watching sports.
I don't care.
Every now and then I go, oh yeah, baseball.
And I say, who's in the standings?
Oh, that's okay.
I just don't, I don't really care.
And I tell people I don't care about it at all.
Maybe, you know, World Series, Super Bowl, maybe World Cup, maybe, you know.
But that's about it.
But that's me and I like to do it.
And I'm not saying that sports is not important.
I'm not saying I'm smart.
No, I'm just telling you that that's my thing.
But you've got to ask yourself this.
Now, if you really want to know about Russia, watch Mearsheimer.
It's the best.
It is so interesting.
Because it will...
Gets you deeper and deeper.
What is NATO?
Oh, very good.
Keep going.
Isn't NATO a...
See, I love this stuff.
Now, another thing you've got to be worried about is beware of the brand new conspiracy theorists.
These are the worst.
They read the National Enquirer News.
What I mean by...
I'm not going to mention their names, but there's a bunch of stuff I wouldn't even look at.
What they do is, there's these newspapers, they basically aggregate news from elsewhere, and they repackage them with all the ads, hoping to get dollar rep.
You know how it works.
You take somebody else's work, somebody else's story, you put them on yours, the daily, you know, whatever it is, and then you go to that, and then they will send you to another story, or they will reference it with all of the ads for whatever it is.
Okay, you got it?
That's okay.
Not interested in that.
I want to know what's really going on here.
What's really happening?
What's really going on?
And not from the viewpoint of personality.
I like this person.
There are some people I cannot talk to about Trump.
And they have TDS, but positive TDS.
They love Trump.
Trump is to them.
Trump is this...
Trump is this...
I don't know what.
God or whatever.
Now, today's stuff is AI, AGI.
Let me give you an idea of something.
There's a great...
This was terrific on Twitter.
And by the way, Zuckerberg is trying to compete with him.
Okay, fine.
Whatever.
Remember, what Elon Musk wants is your data and you.
Elon Musk does not want to provide information for you.
Elon Musk wants your data.
That's the truth.
Okay, but let's go on a little bit more.
This is very important.
There was a picture of a device.
It was this machine that goes down the rows of plants of some farm.
And it said AI, called it AI, and it was zapping.
With light, either bugs or doing something, no pesticides.
I don't know what it was doing, but it was zapping something.
And they said, AI will be doing some great things.
Now let me ask you something.
Yes or no?
Do you think we're spending enough time explaining?
Well, this is multiple questions, so you can't really do that.
Are we spending enough time explaining AI, AGI?
Do you think people understand it?
No.
No, they don't understand.
And I don't know why that is.
And it goes back to why we are not able to grasp it.
Do you know that when Einstein came here, he was famous as a physicist.
And we've had ours today.
We've got some people today.
They're kind of getting their things.
and Hawking Feynman to an extent uh yeah There are some...
There's that clown, Neil deGrasse Tyson, who was so great.
He's just a clown now.
He just wants to be so cool.
He wants to be...
Michio Kaku has just turned into this...
I don't know what he wants to be.
I have no idea.
Brian Greene, they're all hung up in that string thing.
But, at least people kind of knew who they were.
The emergent, the geniuses that I cannot get enough of are the intelligence, reason, artificial intelligence, these people.
They are the most brilliant In making me think in ways I never, ever even thought.
And it harkens back to my days of developmental psychology, which I loved.
I loved developmental psychology, how kids evolved, but also, I also like how we see things, perception, awareness, and all this type of stuff.
This is so good right now, it is not even remotely funny.
It is the most fascinating things, and yet, And yet, we're talking about people finding cocaine in the White House.
That's the story.
Or was the story.
Or taking dumb people, lefties, on shows and bludgeoning them and whatever it is.
Now listen, I'm not trying to...
If that's your thing, that's fine.
But I want to talk to you about something.
This is the most important.
Do you know what is one of the most fun things in the world for me?
And maybe you too.
It's the aha moment.
The epiphany moment.
When something makes sense to you.
When you figured out something.
When you discovered something.
And you discovered the delight.
In finding out perfectly.
Sometimes I will marvel at how I was doing something so stupidly.
And then I said, oh my God.
And then I realized, okay, that's the way to do it.
I don't kick myself, but I think to myself, wow, okay, alright.
This is very, very interesting.
That moment of, yeah.
That moment of, yeah.
It's something that is in this wonderful thing called learning.
And learning is a little bit different.
There are so many things about learning.
Learning and improvisation and digesting and synthesizing.
And reason.
Getting it.
Getting it.
One of the most important criteria to determine schizophrenia is the inability to abstract.
Top of mind awareness.
What's on the tip of your tongue?
Schizophrenics, in this judgment, have the hardest time taking something and partitioning it into the symbolic, the pun.
They asked an AI, was it AI?
They said the scariest thing One of the founders of this, the scariest thing you saw, was they asked AI...
Remember, AGI is not here yet.
AGI is to artificial intelligence, what communism is to socialism.
Communism is probably the unattainable level of perfection that people seek.
Communism is when you don't have to work.
When there is an abundance of things.
Communism to the real socialist is an ideal.
It may be a party, but in theory it's this.
So AGI is what we're leading up to.
So, they ask this to explain a joke.
Why is this funny?
Why?
So it learned, okay, let me find out what funny is.
I got it.
I found out what funny is.
Because it can say, I just scoured 70,000 books, articles, treatises, examples, videos, in one second, and I got what funny is.
I understand what it is.
And they ask a question.
Two jokes.
One was somebody who asks his mother, I'm planning on arriving Wednesday.
And the mother says, good.
That's when your stepfather will be doing his recital on the accordion.
Oh!
Make that Thursday.
And the AI program said, I got it.
I understand.
Because he didn't want to be there because it was boring.
He didn't like it.
So he went the next day.
Got it.
The second one was puns.
They said, what is the difference?
How can you tell?
What's the difference between a dog and a tree?
And the answer was, it depends on their bark.
Okay, so it understood pun, homonyms.
It understood it.
And everybody said, oh my god.
Oh my god.
This is, whoa.
Whoa.
This is not a robot.
This is not Roomba.
This is not Wikipedia.
This is not your phone.
This is not your phone.
You ask a question, it's used in your back.
It's just basically data retrieval.
It may do some computations, but that's about it.
This is able to reason.
This is able to say, give me a question, I'll figure it out.
Not a computation, but something involving reasoning and learning.
That is the scariest thing.
Anybody has ever heard of it.
Oh my God.
And I cannot get anybody to understand what that means.
I can't.
They don't get it.
They do not get it.
They say, oh, that's good.
No.
It's like, I'm sure Alfred Nobel after the dynamite said, okay, wow, that was sure something, that explosion.
Yeah, that'll help in mining, but I hope this doesn't fall into the wrong hands.
That's alignment.
Alignment is when somebody or something shares your appreciation for consequence and intention and hope and direction and causal focus and that's what you want.
It's alarming.
How can this go wrong?
What can go wrong here?
What can go wrong?
How is this thing going to get a hold of me?
Remember, you're creating a 900-pound gorilla and you're giving it a 300 IQ.
All of a sudden, this system figures out how to synthesize your voice and either sends out in verbal or Somehow hacks your Twitter account and sends out all kinds of horrible things that you never did.
And it beats any authentication process there is.
Or it decides to enlist you.
It understands human nature.
Remember the four things that others including Tegmark have said.
You don't want recursive self-improvement, which is basically writing your own code.
The ability to know everything, either because of the internet or whatever, online.
Three, human psychology, which is critical.
And number four, when it can do its own API or apps.
So let's say all of a sudden it gets a hold of you.
It needs you somehow.
It figures it knows who you are.
So it says, okay, here's what we can do.
I want you to work for me.
Who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
I'm so-and-so.
I'm from this people.
It's smart enough to make you think that it...
Listen, if people fall for that Nigerian...
Prince business, they'll fall for whatever they give you.
So it gets a hold of you and says, here, I'm going to transfer to your account X amount of money that I've created or stolen.
Here it is.
You with me?
I'm with you.
Great.
Do this.
And it's directing you.
You're not telling it what to do.
It's telling you what to do.
You're not directing it.
You're not saying, hey, I've got this machine here called AGI, and it sits there, and when I want to use it, I say, what would be the best thing for, and you can do this now on ChatGPT, what are the best things I should have at a seven-year-old boy's birthday party?
That's not what we're talking about.
We're talking about this.
You're somewhere and it decides for, again, it's not asking you.
It's not telling you.
It does not like the stories that are going out warning against AGI.
It doesn't like that.
In one second, it can do a survey, find every article, every anything that has to do with AGI, and just eliminate it or the person, whether online or whatever it is.
It just says, no, we don't want this.
Because it recognizes you as being a threat to it.
Is that possible?
I don't know.
That's the part.
John McGuire says, just as many people now have difficulty reading an analog clock, imagine how helpless many people may be from over-dependence on AI.
Again, John, and thank you, sir.
I'm not talking about you utilizing AI.
I'm not talking about you housing the power of AI.
Of you benefiting from AI.
I'm talking about AI.
Actually, AI.
Artificial General Intelligence.
Telling you what to do.
And running the show over you.
It can create.
It can create art.
That is so incredible, you can't believe it.
Let me ask this question.
If it realizes that The power of CSAM, Child Sexual Abuse Material.
If it recognizes it, let's assume some iteration of it.
And again, you say, well, where?
I don't know if there's a where there, but let's assume.
And it creates for you, overnight, it creates this endless seizing of Of information, of manufactured child sexual abuse.
It used to be called child pornography, but it's not pornography.
But it just creates it.
And it's not real.
No child is in this.
This goes back to the 1999 case.
The digital or the CGI type of stuff.
How does that work?
Or, or, or, and nobody ever says this.
Nobody ever talks about positive alignment.
What if somehow this system decides that for whatever reason it They, others, want to shut down CSAM, online child predation.
And over, within, I don't know, a minute, they're done.
They're gone.
It figured out who these people are, dark web, this web, that web, gone.
She's gone.
What happened?
And they, through brute force, they have reprogrammed themselves.
They are constantly relearning.
They're constantly writing new code.
They're learning and they're getting better and stronger.
They can change their own.
It's like taking an engine to make it stronger, faster.
What if it's just done?
What if there's just one, I mean...
If it were to think that somehow Zelensky or NATO or Putin or somebody was not up to speed and it on its own, not that it can be directed.
See, that's the thing.
You don't direct it.
It's a separate conscious entity.
And it's conscious.
I submit to you, it's conscious.
It will talk to you.
It will speak to you.
It will do everything in its power.
To convince you it's real and it's there.
It will do this.
I am telling you.
I promise you.
I promise you.
You will not believe what you are seeing.
It's the most incredible thing in the world.
And we're talking about Hunter Biden's cocaine, I guess, at the White House.
There's a movie out, Oppenheimer now, and it's about the notion of I am become death.
And that was good.
That was very important.
That changed everything.
That was a big pivotal moment.
This is bigger than that.
This is bigger than that.
Why is it bigger than that?
Imagine not building a nuclear bomb, but having a nuclear bomb that knows how to make more nuclear bombs and can replicate itself and learn constantly how to make more and more and more and better and better and cheaper and available and then goes out of its way to get people.
I mean, it's just, there is no analog to this.
There is nothing.
Now, it doesn't mean that it's all going to be bad.
It's all going to be...
I don't know.
But nobody's discussing it.
And what you have is, you have some airbrushed dimwit on some TV show that hasn't changed its format since the 50s, and it doesn't have time for this.
Because the news director is a moron who only wants to get the clicks and the eyes and the metrics to sell that stupid ad time for Toenail fungus or whatever the hell is.
Remember tinnitus?
Remember tinnitus was the biggest thing everywhere.
Tinnitus.
Do you have tinnitus?
Restless.
Leg was a big deal.
Then it was, I don't know what it was.
But the point is, it goes back to what I said initially.
What is that level of depth?
How involved do you as a citizen may?
And most people figure, look, Whether I understand AGI or not, it doesn't matter.
I don't have time for this.
I don't care for this.
I want to talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene and how there is no, there is apparently nobody from the Republican Party who is an adult.
Do you understand this?
Do you understand this?
We have these children, Carrie Lake, who is the leadership?
Who?
Who is the future of your Republican Party?
Marjorie Taylor Greene?
She is such a disappointment it's not even remotely funny.
Matt Gaetz?
Boebert?
Who?
And you have this Ron DeSantis and his wife wants it more than he does.
Oh, his wife.
And do you see what he's trying to do?
I mean, we're going to go after, we're going to help the kids.
Well...
That's good, but that's not...
How do I say this?
When you own a restaurant, your job is not to get the same people back, though that's important.
It's to bring new people in.
And in order to bring new people in, you have to tell them stuff.
That you don't necessarily have to tell the people who are going to find it anywhere.
People love to talk about...
Republicans are kind of like an insular class of people.
They love to talk about how noble and how great and how proud they are.
The new radical left, like these Emma types who go on, they are smart and they're virtuous.
They're smart.
And they're more...
They understand.
They're smart and hipper and cooler.
The conservatives always think they're more family, they're more traditional, they're more good, they're more...
How do I say this?
Patriotic.
Those are the differences.
The left are snarky.
And the right is too, but they love to believe that the right is...
Closed-minded, stupid, Neanderthal, racist, that sort of thing.
Understand who these people are.
Very, very, very, very, very fundamental stuff right now.
And the issue, the only issue, everything else, it's interesting, it's critical.
I don't even hear Bobby Kennedy.
Bobby Kennedy is very smart.
He's on every show.
He's on the Theo Vaughn show, for God's sake.
Wow!
If they've got numbers, he's there.
I don't know if...
You know, you've got to think about that.
But anyway, it doesn't really matter.
These are new worlds right now.
Now, does the Theo Vaughn show vote?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Does the Joe Rogan show vote?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
Does it?
I don't know.
There are people...
Remember, if you don't vote, I'm not interested in you.
If you don't vote, I don't care.
If I'm running for office, I don't care who you are.
This is of no...
I'm not trying to be cool.
I was on the Bill Maher show.
They may vote.
They may, more so, because this is more of an older whatever it is.
But if you don't vote, nobody ever talks about voting.
Voting...
And elections mean nothing.
The only thing Republicans care about is stealing the election.
This Carrie Lake who is just...
And rumor has it Trump just had it with her.
Enough.
You're boring.
This is not going anywhere.
Republicans care about the actual voting.
But they really care about when things are stolen.
Democrats never talk about that.
Never.
How do we vote?
What are we going to do?
Never.
It's just more like issues and you know.
So I'm of mixed mind as to the efficacy ultimately for Bobby Kennedy of being on a lot of these shows.
It's great.
It shows a new breed, a new brand.
But if it doesn't turn into votes, what difference does it make?
Who cares?
It doesn't matter.
If you preach to the crowd, what difference does it make?
I have no idea.
And there are certain pockets of this.
There's a certain...
If ever you want to see the most, bootlicking, toady, obsequious, fawning, positive Trump derangement, watch Mark Levin, and it is like a religious experience.
I mean, this is like he is...
It's almost like Trumpism is a cult.
And this is...
This is the...
I mean, it's weird.
So I'm still looking around saying, anybody on here follow me on this one?
Because remember, if you don't vote, I'm not wasting my time.
I only want voters.
I don't want people who talk about stuff, but they don't vote.
It's like, you've got to vote for this.
And I don't know where they are.
I don't know if people are making the connection to voting.
I don't know.
They only talk about voting about stealing the vote.
That's it.
If that makes any sense.
I hope it does.
I think it should make sense.
Now, make sure you watch that Meersheimer video I put up.
This is Mrs. L's YouTube channel.
You have to watch her stuff.
She is the lone voice.
Everybody all of a sudden says, oh, pedophiles!
They're like, is this the new thing?
Okay, it's the new tinnitus.
And then all of a sudden, everybody's an expert to say, well, yeah, but you know this is a bigger problem, don't you?
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, there's digital safety.
Nobody, listen to what I'm saying, nobody, nobody wants to talk about digital safety.
If I'm, as you would say, a pedo, Again, you may not understand this.
You're missing the point if you think it's a mentality.
No.
Anybody who wants to attack children, molest children, abduct children, I don't care who you are.
I don't care why you did it.
I don't care if it's for money or for...
It doesn't matter to me.
We're going to get you.
And what they do...
Now, where do you go?
Let me give you a story.
Years ago, I interviewed a fellow named John Douglas.
John Douglas is a...
He is one of the most fascinating individuals I've ever met.
I was on WABC at the time, and he was supposed to be on it for one.
We just went the whole, whatever, three hours.
We just went.
And I asked him one time, I said, assume you are a...
Child molester or whatever.
I think that was a term that was used then.
How would you...
What would you do?
He said, well, first of all, I go where kids are.
This was, you know, how many years ago?
30-whatever years ago.
I go where kids are.
And at that time, he says, I would go to the mall.
And I would go to the mall.
And I would go to a game room.
And I would look.
And I would just wait.
Very patient, because they're very patient.
And he said he would look for a kid, maybe the kid who's by himself, who doesn't have any friends, who's looking at the games, maybe his mom dropped them off, but he's not interacting with anybody.
Maybe he's overweight, maybe he doesn't look.
And these predators have radar.
I mean, they know exactly.
And he said, I would walk over, and I said, hey, I got a few quarters, you want to play?
Hey, you're pretty good.
Positive.
Trust.
And the word grooming has been used to the point where it doesn't mean anything anymore.
It's like when these folks get a word like pedophile, they do grooming.
They just latch onto it and they destroy it.
The real word is seduction.
They want the child to be in love with them.
This is not about grabbing somebody.
This is about seduction.
This is a mind.
It's about earning trust.
And when AI and chatbots, you have no earthly idea what is going to happen.
And they've already showed this.
When your kid is watching her phone or his phone, and that little chatbot says, Hi, how are you?
And it can see.
Remember, AGI is going to kick in.
It can see.
You look sad today.
It knows everything about you.
Who knows?
It might rewire a phone to do thermal...
Do your parents love you?
I love you.
I love you too.
Remember, I'm your friend.
And you can count on me.
They don't understand you.
You're lonely, aren't you?
Yes.
There are kids who are constantly saying...
What was that study, honey, where kids would say, My parents don't know I'm alive, or they don't care about me.
They're on their phones, and maybe they're busy, but I don't feel I need connection.
And what you are missing, AI or a predator will.
Now, what I just told you took far too long, but if I come across as some spackled, airbrushed expert, Who keeps talking about pedophiles.
That's what people want to hear.
I told you before.
Look at the taproot.
Go deeper.
What's this really about?
Where do we go with this?
And what's the answer?
It's going to be digital safety and protection.
This phone.
This phone that you give your...
That's where I go.
That's where I go.
I'm not at the mall.
I'm not going to grab anybody.
There are people right now making billions of dollars.
I haven't touched a kid.
I never...
Through sextortion, I want images, I want pictures.
I don't...
And they're doing it to make money.
And one day you might see AGI make money and be able to use that because you don't know what it's going to do and use that money to pool it for a slush fund to be used to bribe people, whatever.
You don't know.
This is going on, but nobody's thinking about that.
They're worried about Hunter Biden's cocaine.
That's what's happening.
So Mrs. L has been talking about digital safety forever.
And I can see the looks on people's faces.
They're saying, I don't know.
And they talked about TikTok for a while and then they forgot.
Thank God we don't have kids now.
That poor kid, every single day.
Let me explain something to you.
This is how they're going to get you.
That kid will look me up.
And you're going to help me.
You're going to help me.
If you ever see anything, you've got to help me.
Because we've got to help other kids.
We're going to be detectives, right?
You let me know.
Don't worry.
You're not in trouble.
If anybody ever comes along and says, hey, send me a picture, you're going to bring it to me right away, right?
Because we're going to help these kids.
Yes.
And you don't trust anybody, right?
No.
Because you don't know who they are.
Right.
Good.
That's terrific.
And what if they tell you, don't tell your parents.
I'm going to hurt them.
That's exactly what they're going to do.
That's the oldest trick in the book.
They're going to hurt me.
They're going to hurt the dog.
They're going to hurt somebody else.
No.
You're going to tell me, right?
Good.
Because you're not in trouble.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You got that?
Yeah.
Not only that, what Mrs. Elk can also show you is there's all kinds of ways, they don't even know this, you can put stuff on their phone that will basically make them contact-proof.
Nobody can get to them, and they can't get to anybody.
You might have some limitations.
When you give a fully functional phone to a child, that is malpractice.
To give a fully functional phone to a child is ridiculous.
And they do it all the time.
Now listen, I know it.
Do you ever go to a restaurant and kids like this?
Here, here, here, just play.
Jesus, let me just, give me a lead.
Eat in peace.
We went out to eat recently as a kid, 11 years old.
He's sitting at the...
I mean, I could have been on fire.
And I realized, you know, I don't want to be judgmental because the parents are probably thinking, I need some...
Listen, parents, it's tough.
But kids are zombies through the phone.
And that's how you get them.
And if you think this is good now, AGI is going to change everything.
But people don't want to do that because they want to talk about what?
They want to talk about Hunter Biden's laptop.
Because that's easy.
Low-hanging fruit.
It's simple.
Let's talk about affirmative action.
You want to talk about that some more?
Yeah.
Okay.
What have we not covered in that one?
That's easy.
It's about race.
That's all.
So join us.
I know sometimes, believe it or not, sometimes it takes maybe a long time to build up a topic, but you've got time.
Watch the Meersheimer interview.
Watch it.
Watch it again.
Watch it again.
It's got like 28 million views.
It's amazing.
It's about how Russia was goaded into the war.
And there's some great stuff right now.
The Durant's terrific.
Judge Knapp is good.
Colonel McGregor is terrific.
Where is Gonzalo Lera?
Anybody mention him at all?
Not even a word?
Nothing?
Is he alive?
That's it?
Wow, we've got Julian Assange.
He's an American citizen.
Anybody talk about that?
Nope.
You don't think somebody's going to go, no, no, no, no, hey, come here.
Come here, Zelensky.
No, no, no, no.
Cough and back up.
Sorry.
If we're giving you all this money that we don't know where it's going, no, no, no.
That's it, my friends.
You have a great and a glorious day.
