Best of the Program | 8/22/25

Hey, it was an open phone Friday today where we took phone calls about everything.

I didn't get to my important cracker barrel point because people wanted to talk about really important stuff.

John Bolton is in the news.

We talked about AI.

Elon Musk said when you see the new version of AI, it might be AGI.

That's a little frightening.

What does that all mean?

We talked about

the

symbols of America and how they're faded.

We talked about how do we renew the American dream because people don't understand the American dream anymore.

I mean, at least if you're under 30, you haven't lived the American dream.

You don't even believe in the American dream because you don't know what the American dream is.

We go into that on today's podcast.

First, let me talk to you about pre-born.

One in four pregnancy ends in abortion right now.

That's

something we cannot ignore.

There's another side of it.

Four out of four mothers who make that decision have to live with it for the rest of their lives.

The child isn't the only one lost.

It's a piece of the mom that is gone as well.

Pre-born steps in in that crucial moment before the decision is made.

They offer ultrasounds to expectant moms, showing them life inside of them.

And when mom sees the heartbeat, when she hears the heartbeat, she sees the baby, something changes and statistics show she's most likely going to choose life.

Now, every dollar you give helps that process.

If you're a business owner, please consider making a larger tax-deductible gift.

You know, not just a write-off, but, you know, kind of a,

it will make an eternal impact in your life.

It will.

While the government isn't working to save babies, you can.

A gift of $15,000 sponsors an ultrasound machine, a powerful tool that saves lives every single day, and every gift matters.

So get involved today.

Dial pound250, say the keyword baby.

That's pound250, keyword baby, or go to preborn.com slash beck.

Preborn.com slash Beck.

Let's rescue a generation one heartbeat at a time.

Hello, America.

You know, we've been fighting every single day.

We push back against the lies, the censorship, the nonsense of the mainstream media that they're trying to feed you.

We work tirelessly to bring you the unfiltered truth because you deserve it.

But to keep this fight going, we need you.

Right now, would you take a moment and rate and review the Glenn Beck podcast?

Give us five stars and leave a comment because every single review helps us break through big tech's algorithm to reach more Americans who need to hear the truth.

This isn't a podcast, this is a movement, and you're part of it, a big part of it.

So, if you believe in what we're doing, you want more people to wake up, help us push this podcast to the top.

Rate, review, share.

Together, we'll make a difference.

And thanks for standing with us.

Now, let's get to work.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenback Program.

Welcome to the Glindback Program.

You know, the Democrats are just losing all kinds of credibility and people are switching parties like they've never switched away from the Democratic Party before.

And here's why.

Everybody's favorite,

Congresswoman Crockett

on the D.C.

crime crackdown.

Listen to this.

ICE, for the most part, is nothing but a ride.

That's all they were supposed to do for the most part, right?

It's like, you know what?

This person is undocumented or this person re-enters the country illegally, all the things, and then they have an ice hold, and then ICE gets them so that they can then send them out.

That's all ICE is supposed to do.

Look at them as a fancy Uber driver for immigrants.

That's all they're supposed to do.

Oh, my God.

And now they're running into places and doing raids and they're falling all over each other, injuring each other.

Like, we are a joke.

So she's with Gavin Newsome.

She's fabulous.

Can we go to cut three?

Here she is on the crime crackdown.

Tell me what it's like in DC.

Tell me what you think this is really all about.

So it's very dystopian to see.

It's funny because I used to watch like the handmaid's tale and I can't, right?

I never finished and I can't watch it because it is too close to reality.

Oh, yeah.

And so what we're seeing is this militarization.

And obviously it started in your state.

That was kind of the testing grounds.

Going to your state, going to a black woman mayor's city first.

No, it's her city.

And now we are in yet another black woman-led city and taking over.

And to me, it goes again to the level of racism and hate that is constantly being skewed out of this administration.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Stop.

That's like M.

Night Shyamalan.

I would never expect her to go through a racial claim.

Whoa, I know.

Now

let's go to Prisker, the governor from Illinois, and what he has to say about what's going on.

Cut five.

Must we?

I built a Holocaust museum.

And one thing about that experience that I can tell you, and I worked with Holocaust survivors for more than a decade to build this museum.

One thing I learned in the process of that is that it doesn't take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic.

Indeed, the Nazis did it in 53 days.

And

our democracy is

almost as fragile.

Started in 1922.

And we're seeing it right now.

Yes, we are.

Who's been tearing it apart, you fat?

Anyway, so now we're pre-Nazi Germany, according to him.

Uber drivers, ICE, it's the handmaid's tale in

Washington, D.C.

It's pre-Nazi Germany in Illinois.

And here comes Stacey Abrams to help us with more.

Cut six.

I want to tie this back to the abundance agenda and how you think about blue state power.

If it is true that he's a Grand Aatolla, that mystical power extends and can be, you know,

he can anoint his,

you know, his prophets and he can remain in...

Stop.

So we are...

He's now the Ayatollah.

He's Hitler in the handmaid's tale, who is also the mystical Ayatollah who is appointing new prophets.

We have said he has a lot of energy, Glenn, and there's a lot of different roles.

He is covering a lot.

Now, he's also trying to make peace, but Susan Rice, with all of her deep, deep credibility, has something to say about that.

Let's go.

I mean, really, Nicole, it's pathetic.

It's been clearly and repeatedly established,

including by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee led by Marco Rubio, that Russia interfered in the 2016 election

by disinformation campaigns, by social media efforts, by all sorts of means short of manipulating the actual vote.

And that's just a fact.

Now, obviously, Donald Trump doesn't like that fact.

He doesn't like the fact that the intelligence community and the Senate bipartisan intelligence committee assessed that this interference was intended to...

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

I can't.

How is this still happening with no pushback from, what was it, ABC or NBC?

No pushback from NBC.

None.

Zero.

All of the documentation has come out that shows she was part of the conspiracy.

She was part of it.

She was a ringleader in this.

It's now showing all the documents, the facts.

There's this

little fantasy that the deep state has been pushing.

And then there are the actual documents written to and by people like Susan Rice showing this was all made up.

Wow.

It's so wow.

And

and that strange Hitler, mystical Ayatollah and

Handsmaid's Tale guy who just wants everybody dressed in red robes cannot get that stopped.

That is so very weird.

Glenn.

So weird.

You've worked with charities for a long time.

Have you founded your own?

It's done all this incredible work around the globe.

Would you consider potentially putting together a fundraiser for the Democrats to come up with another literary reference than the Handmaid's Tale.

Like, is it possible we could get them a different book just so they can say that title of it?

Now, I know Jasmine Crockett, of course, is so stupid, she couldn't even act like she read the book.

She only said she was watching the Hulu show.

But still, can we get them some reference other than the Handmaid's Tale?

They're already doing it.

They're already doing it.

When you talk about literary stuff, they're already doing it, Stu.

Here we go.

You ready?

They have now, the DNC has now blacklisted blacklisted terms that they don't want any of their people using.

Okay?

Oh, okay.

Now tell me what these terms have in common.

Blacklisted terms.

Privilege.

Violence.

As in environmental violence.

Dialoguing.

Triggering.

Othering.

Microaggression.

holding space, body shaming, subverting norms, systems of oppression, cultural appropriation, the Overton window, existential threat to the climate, existential threat to democracy, existential threat to the economy, radical transparency, stakeholders, the unhoused, food insecurity, housing insecurity, people who immigrated, birthing person, cisgender, dead naming, heteronormative, patriarchy, LGBTQIA plus, BIPOC, allyship, incarcerated people, and involuntary confinement.

Those are the words that the Democrats are now telling their people, don't use any of these words.

Those are the words that they forced everybody to use.

So they are reading from a new book.

They're just burning their own book.

It is absolutely

incredible what is happening right now.

Just absolutely nuts.

I don't see how they're going to get through conversations without those words.

Those are the only words they say.

Oh, I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I could just add some conjunctions in there and I could make that into a speech.

Let me go to Eve in Utah.

Hello, Eve.

Welcome to the Glenbeck program.

Good morning.

Thanks for taking my call.

It's a privilege to speak with you, gentlemen.

I am calling from the bluest red state in the Union, that'd be Utah.

I have been reading the headlines in KSL and how Governor Cox is refusing to send troops to arrest immigrants.

I'm calling specifically to say that there are I think there's a significant problem here.

I've seen illegal immigrants, at least I'm assuming, I'm just assuming.

But these are people who are not proficient in English.

I'm going into 7-Eleven.

I'm going into school districts are hiring a lot of illegal aliens.

I know because the kids that are in the classes are parts of

members of families that are here from Venezuela, from Guatemala, from different countries in Africa.

I have

concerns about Best Buy hiring a lot of

people who I'm not sure if they're documented, immigrants, but I have friends who cannot get hours at their work because they've got supervisors, specifically at Best Buy, one friend in particular, who could not have,

who had to quit because she was not getting the hours that she needed to support herself.

She had a Spanish supervisor who was hiring other Hispanic employees.

And then if you spoke Spanish, she felt like she was discriminated against because she didn't speak Spanish and she was not getting the hours that she needed.

She had to quit.

So I see a lot of this in, like, I don't know, in different companies and different businesses where

I have

friends and neighbors who are applying for jobs and they're not getting them because they don't speak Spanish or because they're not Hispanic.

So let me may I make some very controversial statements here

about your phone call.

First of all, let's start with KSL.

If you're getting your news from KSL, be careful.

You know, that's always been a trusted source in

Utah

and for many reasons.

And

they they, just like everybody else, has a really hard time hiring journalists that are not woke.

woke.

It's the same thing as some of the Utah universities, BYU in particular.

That has gone woke.

How has that gone woke?

Because they can't find anybody to fill those jobs that can live the standards and also not be woke.

So you have to be really careful of the sources.

Don't take anything that you see in some of these sources to be gospel, if you will.

Be very careful and be aware.

And that's not a universal blanket on anything.

That is just be aware of that.

Stop trusting some of those sources because who owns them.

Start trusting the sources because they are actually telling the truth.

And in some cases, in many cases, that is not happening in the media, no matter who owns it.

The second thing is, I'm really concerned about Utah.

You hit it right on the nail right on the head.

It is the bluest red state.

That thing used to be so deeply red, but they have chipped away little by little.

Cox is a very,

he's a big part of that, but they have chipped away little by little.

And I think,

personally,

I believe in Isaiah.

And

any place that claims to be, you know,

God's people, Rome,

you know, the Bible Belt, Utah,

Isaiah comes to mind all the time.

And I will clean out my own house first.

I think

these cities that claim to be very religious

and have let it go to literal hell because the people have

just been

arrogant.

They just think it'll always be this way.

I think Utah is coming for a giant reckoning.

There's a reason I live in Idaho.

There's a couple of reasons, but one reason I live in Idaho and not Utah is because I think Utah is going to pay a very, very heavy price for the things that they are allowed to happen.

And every time I go into the big cities in Utah, I am shocked at how bad they are.

So you just need to wake your neighbors up.

And if your neighbors are awake, you must be active.

It's the same story in Texas.

Texans are asleep at the switch.

Now I am thrilled to see that Chip Roy is running and is going to be,

I think, hopefully, will be elected as our next Attorney General.

Ken Paxton will go into the Senate.

I think those are great things.

But locally, the problem many times is locally.

And you have to be awake.

And Texans are asleep.

I think Utah's are absolutely asleep.

And you have to wake up on that and do the things locally that will hold your city's feet to the fire and hold your city's feet to the Constitution and to the actual rule of law.

Look at those blacklisted terms that the Democrats are now running from.

They created all of those terms.

They're now running from all of those terms.

You hear anybody in your city using those terms, make sure you let everybody know that's somebody that shouldn't win the next election.

And you do something about it.

You organize and do something about it.

Local, local, local.

But I think you're right about what you're seeing.

Let me tell you about American financing.

Money can be a very funny thing.

You know,

when you have it, I guess it's a funny thing.

When you don't have it, it kind of sucks.

If you're not careful, it starts to own you.

Every credit card, every rising interest rate, every mortgage payment, it feels like it's just squeezing tighter and tighter and tighter.

You know, I just don't like it.

I'm starting a new business and just kind of putting like all of our chips on the table.

And I told the accountant yesterday, I said, I feel like somebody's standing on my chest all the time.

And I really don't like that.

If you have that feeling, you might want to

call somebody that can help.

American Financing could be that help for you.

American Financing, call them now.

You can get out of all of the high interest rate.

They'll can do consolidation loans.

They'll listen to your story and then find the way to help you.

Call American Financing now at 800-906-2440.

800-906-2440.

It's AmericanFinancing.net.

Now back to the podcast.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Let me take Joe in Florida.

Hello, Joe.

Welcome.

Hello.

Pardon me

if I stutter.

I'm super nervous, and I've been listening to TI since 2007.

Oh, don't be nervous, Joe.

It's just us and 11 million friends.

So

what I really wanted to talk to you about was

AI in capitalism.

So other than

other than GPT-5

having everybody's baseline

site profile between threads now.

I'm really struggling to

picture how the free market and how capitalism works.

If AI

is going to take so many jobs and

so many people are going to be out of work, well, sure,

if we make things cheaper, who's going to have money to pay for anything?

And how do we overcome that?

Are we going to go UBI?

Are we going to tax private businesses

for

using AI?

How do we find balance?

Because it's like if you give the private

the private sector too much freedom, we always

do the wrong thing, like with interest rates.

But too much government doesn't work either.

So how do we move forward?

How do we find balance?

Joe, that is the trillion-dollar question.

That is something that I don't think anyone has an answer for yet, but at least thank you, Joe, for thinking about this.

Most people have not thought this through.

They have not really come to a place yet to where they see what AI is about to do.

And it is about to just

destroy jobs.

Now, there is the hope that new jobs come out,

but

I'm having a hard time seeing it not destroy millions of jobs around

the world.

And so people are going to be unemployed.

And some of the great minds of the great

reset, et cetera, including Noah Haval Harari,

has come out and said there's going to be useless people that we just need to keep on drugs.

Literally, this is what he says.

Need to keep them on drugs and keep them addicted to the internet.

Just keep them busy.

That's not sustainable.

I think, honestly, you're seeing another solution in Canada.

They have just taken their MAID program, which is medical assistance in dying.

And it was for just people who were at the end of life.

They were in, you know, had a terminal terminal disease.

That was just like five, six years ago, terminal disease only.

They have now adopted

MAID for newborn children.

Newborn children.

Now, to give you an idea of how rare that is, the last country that did this was Nazi Germany.

The doctors up in Canada cannot keep up with the current requests for medical-assisted suicide.

And it is in every

every sector, every walk of life.

It is the elderly, it is the sick, it is the non-sick, it is those with disabilities, it is those teenagers that are going through depression.

Now it's down to babies after you're born.

Not only can you kill them before you're born, now you can kill them after,

because I don't know why.

Is it an inconvenience?

Is it what is it?

And if they say now, oh no, it's only for the very, very, very, very malformed,

well, that's what it was in Germany too, when they first did it.

And you saw what happened in Germany.

So you're going to see some of the worst of human beings come out to solve this thing.

You're also going to see things like UBI.

That's a universal basic income.

I personally think there should be a tax, and I haven't, I'm not settled on any of this.

I think there should be a tax on those like Zuckerberg and quite honestly, Elon Musk, the people who are going to be running these things.

And there's going to be a handful that are worth trillions and trillions of dollars.

I'm sorry, but you used our information, our private selves, and you're still using him

to

build these things.

And then you took our jobs away.

I'm sorry, but that is the first time I've ever said that maybe we should share the wealth a little bit.

Hey, Jamie, this battery just went out.

So I think, you know, we have a lot of talking to do here, and I'm not sure that any of it that I am suggesting is right.

But here's where I would like to go.

Yesterday we had a phone call.

We had somebody call in.

Her name was Angela.

She was from Tennessee.

And

she talked about all of this.

She's talked about how all of this stuff is starting to collapse, that she doesn't really believe in anything, and she's wondering maybe the government should do more.

Well,

she talked about how, you know,

she had done everything right.

She had gone to college

and now she came from nothing, built herself up, and now she could just barely, you know, keep

her head above water.

So I gave her some advice, but it bothered me all day yesterday.

And I want to come back to this because I've been thinking as I'm developing this new venture of mine called The Torch,

we've been looking for the imagery for it and everything else.

And I saw some things that our team has been producing, and it included the Statue of Liberty and the flag and everything else.

And as I'm watching that, I thought, that is so dated.

That appeals to me and my generation.

But I don't think that appeals to anybody that is in their 20s because it's all empty.

You know,

there was a time when the American flag meant something and it didn't need to be explained at all.

There was a time when the Statue of Liberty was more than just an old outdated tourist stop that when you saw it, sometimes it could move you to tears.

It was a promise.

There was a time when the courts were considered the halls of justice, not arenas for politics.

But for people who are in their 20s and early 30s,

I don't know.

I think all of that stuff feels hollow now.

You know,

the flag, it's a banner of somebody else's dream, and Lady Liberty is just a shell, and the courts are just another place where power decides outcomes, not truth.

That American dream that I understand because of my generation and my parents is gone because we didn't pass it on to our children, and the schools and the media and everybody else did a horrible job at this.

If you're in your 20s or 30s,

you were a kid when your parents probably lost everything in 2008.

And you saw the big banks, you know, bail every big bank out.

And then you saw maybe your mom and dad's business shuttered on Main Street.

You watched your parents work hard and have less for it.

And then came COVID, and you saw the government do the same thing.

Bail out all, hey, it's fine to be in Home Depot, but that local ACE hardware, no, that's the plague.

And none of that made sense.

And jobs vanished and schools closed and freedoms were curtailed and

the divisions in this country just froze like cracks in a frozen lake.

I mean, it was, it's not good.

And that's all you've seen your whole life.

And then you did the right thing because what was right in the 1950s was still thought to be right today.

And it wasn't.

But that was go to college.

You did everything you were told was right.

You chased the degree.

You took on debt.

And then the jobs you got out, the jobs you were promised weren't there.

They never came.

Well, they weren't.

It's because you were being lied to about that.

Nobody could look over the horizon.

Oh, I'm sorry.

The people who actually have credible voices, or so you thought at the time, would look over the horizon and say, no, it's fine.

It's fine.

Some of us were saying, don't.

Don't do that.

That's a lie.

It's not going to happen.

But we were discredited.

And now the house, it feels as distant to you.

Buying a house probably feels like, oh yeah, and I'm going to walk on the moon someday too.

Capitalism, the system that built the abundance that you see around you, now feels like a rigged game because many times it is a rigged game.

It feels broken.

It feels like it failed you.

And quite honestly, it did.

I see it.

I see it.

I hear you.

And you are not wrong to feel betrayed.

Now the the question is, what do you do with that?

So the American Dream is not what they told you.

The lies started long before the banks started bailing everybody out except your parents.

The American Dream

was never about the banks.

It was never about politicians.

It was not about what the universities say it was all about.

It was never about a white picket fence or a two-car garage.

You know, that was all a marketing pitch.

And I can tell you right where it came from.

It came in the 1930s with FDR.

Again, it was a marketing pitch.

Up until the 1930s, the American dream was just this, freedom.

It was you not having to ask for permission to start a business.

It was you not being cobbled by heavy taxes and regulations.

It was about building and creating, about being you without having to ask, can I be me?

It was all about dreaming just audacious dreams and then taking your two hands and putting them to work and trying to make that a reality.

Okay?

What stole that dream is not,

it wasn't capitalism, it was control.

A hundred years of policies from the progressives where you were taught to wait, to comply, to memorize these because they're going to be on a test, to look to the government, to the experts, to the the bureaucrats.

Everything requires permission just to live your own life.

And if it's not permission, it's a tax or

some sort of a form that you have to fill out.

The dream wasn't broken,

it wasn't broken by the people.

It wasn't broken by capitalism.

The dream was strangled to death by the system.

Okay, now that

if you can understand that, now you have a new set of questions.

Symbols can be replaced.

When the old symbols lose their power, new ones can rise, or you can reinvigorate those symbols by putting new power back into them.

The new symbols...

of the American dream are not going to be marble statues or buildings.

The new symbols of the American dream go back to what they were before the progressive era.

You,

the people,

somebody who's working right now in their basement on something and they just think they have something, and them being able to keep that idea, enhance people's lives and get rich from it.

The craftsman that's turning a side hustle into something real, the entrepreneur that is not going to wait for permission, the communities that stand together when the institutions fail them.

That's the American dream.

And the danger here is, is that we are losing our symbols, and one of our symbols is the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution because nobody knows what it really is, so it doesn't have power to the average person.

But that is, the Constitution is not a relic, it's not a symbol, it is a root.

Now, the good thing is,

if our roots on this thing are still deep, we are entering the storm of ages.

And when a storm rages,

those roots, if they're deep enough, they hold and they survive.

If the roots are so atrophied, it's just going to tumble and blow away.

But the truth

isn't gone.

Justice is not dead.

Liberty is not just an empty vessel that is standing there as a tourist trap.

All of these truths have been buried for decades.

Noise and lies.

And

here's a good thing.

It's going to be your generation that digs them back up.

You're going to find them again.

And you're going to find them, well, you won't find them if you're waiting for rescue.

You won't.

You'll find them by daring to dream again, by daring to say, I don't care what you tell me.

You're not the boss of me.

And you don't control my thoughts.

I'm sorry.

I can either choose thoughts that empower me or I can choose the thoughts that disempower me.

And I'm sorry, all the thoughts you're putting into my head make me weak and pathetic.

I am not going there.

I'm going to change my thoughts and change my life.

You know,

you don't wait for somebody else.

The American dream is truly American because of who we used to be and who we, I think, still are.

We just have to find it in ourselves.

We just have to believe it again.

We are the people that went to the moon.

We are the people that do these daring things.

And that is not dead.

It's just changing hands.

And they have, the older generation has tried to convince you that it means nothing.

You can't do it.

It's in your hands now.

And when you grasp it, when you live it, not as a slogan, but as a way of life, you'll discover it was never about chasing symbols.

It was about becoming one.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

So, in talking about capitalism and the future, and especially AI,

let's have a deeper conversation on this because, you know, the fear is it's going to take our jobs and you're going to be a useless eater, et cetera, et cetera, because AI will have all of the answers.

Correct.

But how many times?

That is correct if you look at it that way.

But let me say this.

I can have people who are wildly educated on exactly the same facts, and they will come to a different conclusion or a different way to look at that.

Okay.

They can agree on all of the same facts, but because they're each unique,

And an AI is not a AGI or ASI is not going to to be unique, I don't think.

This is my understanding of it now.

And I've got to do some, I've got to talk to some more people about this that actually know.

Because coding is now what AI does.

That can develop any software.

However,

it still requires me to prompt.

I think prompting is the new coding.

And if you don't know what prompting is, you should learn today what prompting means.

It is an art form.

It really is.

As I have been working with this now for almost a year now,

learning how to prompt changes everything.

And so, and now that AI remembers your conversations and it remembers your prompts, it will get a different answer for you than it will for me.

And

that's where the uniqueness comes from.

from and that comes from looking at ai as a tool

not as the answer

so stu if you put in all of the prompts that make you you

and then i put in a prompt that makes me me

donald trump does it you know gavin newsom does it it's going to spit out different things because you're requiring a different framework.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yeah, Yeah, you can essentially personalize it, right, to you.

Correct.

It's going to understand the way you think rather than just a general person would think.

Correct.

And if you're just going there and saying, give me the answer, well, then you're going to become a slave.

But if you're going and saying, hey, this is what I think, this is what I'm looking for.

This is

where I'm missing some things, et cetera, et cetera, it will give you a customized answer that is unique to you.

And so prompting becomes the place where you're unique.

Now, here's the problem with this.

This is something that I said to Ray Kurzweil back in 2011, maybe.

He was sitting in my studio and I said, so Ray, we get all this.

It can read our minds.

It knows everything about us, knows more about us than anything, than any of us know.

How could I possibly ever create something unique?

And he said, what do you mean?

And I said, well, if I was, let's say I wanted to come up with a competitor for Google, if I'm doing research online and Google is able to watch my every keystroke and it has AI, it's knowing what I'm looking for.

It then thinks,

what is he trying to put together?

And if it figures it out, it will complete it faster than me and give it to the mothership, which has the distribution and the money and everything else.

And it will,

I won't be able to do it because it'll already have done it

and so it becomes you become a serf the lord of the manor takes your idea and does it because they have control that's what free the free market stopped

And unless we have control of our own thoughts and our own ideas and we have some safety to where it cannot intrude on those things, that we have some sort of a

patent

system

for unique ideas that you're working on, that AI cannot take what you're working and share it with the mothership, share it with anybody else, then it's just a tool of oppression.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yeah.

I mean, obviously these companies would say they're not going to do that.

But you know what Ray said?

Yeah, Ray said, Glenn, we would never do that.

And I said, why not?

And he said, well, because it's wrong.

We just wouldn't do it.

I was like, oh,

oh, I forgot how moral and, you know,

such high standing everybody in Silicon Valley and Google is.

And Silicon Valley and Google is far, I have far more confidence in their just benevolence than I do China.

And Washington.

And Washington.

Yeah, exactly.

And the DOD.

Yeah, I mean, everyone's going to have these things developed, and who knows what they're going to do.

I mean, I suppose there will be some

eventually that becomes an issue or becomes a risk,

there's going to be some solutions to that.

Like you could have closed-loop systems that don't connect with the mothership, but like all that stuff's going to be,

you know, there will be answers to those questions, I'm sure.

But, you know, at some level, right, they're using what you're typing in as training for future AIs.

Right.

So like it all, in a way, kind of has to go to the mothership at some level.

And whether they try to take advantage of it in the way you're talking about, I mean, I hope they don't, but I don't trust them.

Right now, right now, a year ago, we thought we're going to use, we'll use somebody's AI as the churn, as the

as the compute power, because the server farms, everything is so expensive.

But I don't think now, we've been talking about this at the torch that our, you know, our dreamers are working on.

I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to get the compute power that we need for a large segment of people.

Because right now, these companies, now think of this, the world is getting between 1 and 3% of the compute power.

So that means 97 to 99%

of all of that compute is going directly into the company trying to enhance the next version.

Okay.

All of that thinking,

that's like you giving

something that everybody else thinks is your main focus, and you're only giving it

20 or 15 minutes a day.

You're operating at the highest levels, and I'm only going to spend 10 minutes thinking about your problem.

And you think that's what I'm really doing is spending all my time on there.

And so they're eating up all of the compute for the next generation of, and I don't think that's going to stop.

And so we're now looking into, can we afford to build our own

AI server farm at a lower level that doesn't have to take on 10 million people, but maybe a million people and keep it disconnected from everything else.

If we can do that,

I think that's a really important step that people will then be able to go, okay, all right.

I can come up with my own, even my own company, compute farm, that keeps my secrets keeps all of the things that i'm thinking keeps all of this information right here

um

hopefully that will happen but i i'm not sure because i i think when when they do hit a gi you're not going to get it you might have access to a gi but it will be so expensive because a gi is going to try to get to asi so when they get to a gi um when that when that is there and available it could be five thousand dollars a month for an individual it could be astronomical prices.

You're not going to get

compute time on a quantum computer.

You're just not.

It'll be way too expensive because the big boys will be using it.

The DOD will be using it, most of it.

You know, the Microsoft and Google and everybody else, when they develop theirs, they will be using it themselves to get stronger and better, et cetera, et cetera.

So there has to be something for the average person to be able able to use this that is not connected to the big boys.

I'm still not sure, Glenn, if we're at this time, but like just to redefine these terms, AGI and ASI, artificial general intelligence, artificial super intelligence.

And the artificial general intelligence is basically, it can be the smartest human, right?

Not even that.

You would still consider this person a super genius.

It's general intelligence.

You are a general intelligence being, meaning you can think and be good at more than one thing.

You can play the piano and be a mathematician.

And you can be the best at both of those.

Okay.

What we have right now is narrow AI.

It's good at one thing.

Now, we're getting AI to be better at multiple things, okay?

But when you get to general AI, it will be the best human, beyond the best human, in every general topic.

So it can do everything.

It'll pass every board exam

for every walk of life.

Okay.

Now that's the best human on all topics.

And I would call that super intelligence myself, but it's not.

That's just general intelligence.

Top of the line, better than any human on all subjects.

Super intelligence is when it goes so far beyond our understanding,

it will create languages and formulas and

alloys and think in ways that we cannot possibly even imagine today because it's almost like an alien life form.

You know, when we think, oh, the aliens are going to come down, they're going to be friendly.

You don't know that.

You don't know how they think.

They've created a world where they can travel in space and time in ways we can't.

That means they are so far ahead of us that we could, to them, be like cavemen or monkeys.

So we don't know how they're going to view us.

I mean, look how we view monkeys.

Oh, cute little monkey.

Let's put something in its brain and see if it feels electricity in its brain.

Okay.

We don't know how it's going to think because we aren't there.

And that's what we're developing.

We're developing an alien life form that cannot be predicted and cannot be something that we can even keep up with.

All right, more in just a second.

Let me stop.

And by the way,

I'm working on a constitutional amendment and I'm partnering with some people on a constitutional amendment.

I'm going to tell you about it soon, but it regards to AI.

And we need to define what it means to be human quickly, need to define that.

And then we need to have a constitutional amendment that

this is human, this is not, and only humans have equal rights.

We've got to do that right now.
