Starting point is 00:00:28 Nah, just teasing. You know what I'm talking about. But don't take it that way. So over the last 70 years, the color size and all the connectivity of Lego sets have, you know, evolved. But it still makes them kind of cool, right? And my wife hates them, but I love them. I love them. Now, this new set, their largest set ever, is the Coliseum.
Starting point is 00:01:00 9,036 pieces. I want it. I want it bad. Again, write your own jokes. Welcome to Chewing the Fat. Okay, so I can't stop looking at the Lego story because it's got the top 10 most pieces sets. And, you know, number 10 is the Tower Bridge,
Starting point is 00:01:31 which is really cool. That's 4,295 pieces. Coming in, and number nine, the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, 4,634 pieces. That's kind of cool, I guess, it's all right. Number eight, the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer, 4,7884 pieces.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Number seven, the Ninjago City. which is pretty busy, actually. That's 4,867 pieces. And that looks like it might be fun putting it together, because that's a lot of different pieces. You can quote me on that. And then we have the Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon. That is 5,197 pieces.
Starting point is 00:02:24 And that looks okay. It doesn't look too bad. And then you have the Harry Potter Diagon Diagon Alley? Is that what it is? I know your Harry Potter People are going to be mad at me. It's the Harry Potter
Starting point is 00:02:40 Diagon Alley. It's probably Diagon or Diagon. 5,544 pieces. Then we have the Taj Mahal, which looks really cool. 5,923 pieces. I kind of like the castles. I have this one, Harry Potter, Hogwarts castle.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, really cool. 6,020 pieces. And then you have the Star Wars Millennium Falcon. Now, that one is 7,541 pieces. That looks better than the other falcon. And then, of course, the brand new one that they're releasing the Coliseum, which I want. The Coliseum, I want that bad.
Starting point is 00:03:24 9,036 pieces. All right. I'm done with my goes. I just, it's been, we used to have so many of them and, uh, my wife, Amber does not like Lego sets now. So we build other stuff and, you know, paint and draw and everything else. But when, uh, my oldest son was real little, he was a Lego freak. So we had like eight billion Legos and, you know, every little set and every little party, you get a little box that has, you know, I don't know, 50 pieces or 60 pieces and you build it.
Starting point is 00:04:01 and then, you know, you hold all the like same pieces and little rubber made boxes so you have them for other building. It's just amazing. I just love them. Anyway, I'll move on. We can talk about the story that everybody's been tagging me in for the last, you know, day and a half. Pope Francis's Instagram account appears to like a bikini model's photo.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Well, you think, okay, well, really? A, the first thought is the Pope has an Instagram? Yes, he does. But there's no proof that they account liked it. Okay? The girl,
Starting point is 00:04:47 this Natalia Garabato, 27, she posts pictures of herself in racy costumes. You know, she's okay. She's fine. I would hit the
Starting point is 00:05:01 like button if I happen to scroll past it but according to her the Pope liked her Instagram shot okay of her in well you know in the outfit that she's in pooh that's this I mean there's reason that the Pope would thank God for that I guess so a Uh, there's no, it's gone now. And it's just her word saying that the Pope liked the account. So, I mean, is it true? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Could it be true? I guess. I mean, there's, I've, if you have Instagram, if you're scrolling through your account, if the Pope is just, you know, dozing off and he's scrolling through some, some Instagram stories, you know, or just on the search button and you're just scrolling through it and you're see a pick and you stop and you know maybe he's saying a prayer for her and he just touched the screen and hit the like button and then he realized oh i don't want people to know i like that so he unliked it but right now it's saying that there's you know no pope like on the post so it's just
Starting point is 00:06:20 her word against the popes now as much of an issue as i have with this pope i'm going to take the pope's over the Instagram influencer telling me that the Pope liked her shot. So, amen. So,
Starting point is 00:06:44 let's talk a little bit about CBS and Walgreens and Walmart and maybe some write aid thrown in there and maybe a little good RX on top of that.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Sprinkled on top, just a little good RX. They have all got to be shaken in their boots just a little bit. Why? Because Amazon has now launched their online pharmacy here in the United States. I mean, that could be trouble. That could be trouble. Remember back a couple years ago, they bought that pill pack. Well, they've been using that and trying integrating that in with Amazon. And so you're going to be able to get your, medicines from Amazon.
Starting point is 00:07:33 The prime customers to free two-day delivery. Shipping might take up to five days, according to this story, for first-time customers, as it takes time to transfer medication. If you don't have prime, you can get free delivery within five days, or you can pay $5.99 to upgrade the two-day delivery. Now, I mean, that's, I hope that, you know, Walmart and Walgreens and CVS, for example, who have really been pushing their, you know, re-up and online delivery and orders. There better be like, you know, maybe a first-stop pharmacy.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Maybe that will come, you know, that's right outside the hospital or whatever, first-stop pharmacy. So if you're in the hospital or you go to see your doc and he says, you need to get, you know, this particular medication. And so he'll write you a script for, you know, he'll shoot the online order to, you know, first stop pharmacy, get you two days worth. And then he'll shoot the other order to Amazon. And then in two days, you'll get your 30-day supply or 28-day supplier, however they want to work it. CBS and Walgreens better be finding a way to get involved with Amazon. And I think that's the way to do it, really. maybe have
Starting point is 00:08:57 direct direct prescriptions shot to you and then Amazon will deliver the rest something like that so that at least it keeps them in the loop these just ideas
Starting point is 00:09:10 I'm just throwing them out there for you just throwing out ideas that's all that's all I am just an idea man that's it I mean to tell you wow that is
Starting point is 00:09:25 that's a big deal. That's a big deal because Amazon is taking over the world. I know. And you look at me, good, that's a great thing. It kind of is. But then again,
Starting point is 00:09:41 maybe not. In the words of Lemire, the candelabra in Beauty and the Beast, then again, maybe not. So, anyway, uh,
Starting point is 00:09:54 Jack and Mark testified yesterday. And like I said, what's going to come of it? We got some, we got a few great clips from it. We've got, we had, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:09 them answering questions with their legality answers. And they're, oh, people sign up for it. We're no. That's the way it is. People agree to our terms of service
Starting point is 00:10:20 and our policies. Correct. They do, Jack. but that's not the point and you know it. And then they caught Mark off guard. The one senator from Missouri caught the, you know, Zuckerberg off guard with his internal communications software that they also share information with Google and Twitter.
Starting point is 00:10:43 And he wouldn't say that he would turn over the communications from that software. He was like, well, I'll have to, you know, look into it. I can't, no. And, you know, the senator was like, well, we could subpoena it, but it would be better if you just give it to us, you know, say it's okay. And, wow, I'll have to look at that. I'm not aware. I don't know if there's anything, you know, that is, you know, priority and covered up.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Okay, thanks, Mark. But what comes of it? I don't know. I don't think anything, right? Jack looked good. It looked better. Had his hair cut. that it combed, had the beard trimmed up a little bit.
Starting point is 00:11:25 He, you know, he, you know, obviously last time, uh, was coming off his, you know, retreat in Southeast Asia with, uh, you know, coffee animals and, uh, yoga and meditation. So this time he looked a little bit more alert and cleaner. But then we get the news that Twitter, uh, earlier this week on, uh, day before yesterday, for those of you listening live on the 18th of November 2020. Twitter named this Pieter Zetko. The hacker extraordinaire goes by the name Mudge. He's the new head of security.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And so he answers to Jack. That's it. He's going to have, he's looking over everything now. He's, you know, looking over everything for a 45 to 60 day review. I bet you that only lasts about 30. And then he's going to examine all the information security, integrity, physical security, platform integrity. And, you know, in this story they talk about which starts to touch on abuse and manipulation of the platform and engineering. Oh, yeah, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:42 But if you think, I mean, he's getting ready to do whatever the hell he wants to do with Twitter. Right? Because this guy used to work for Google. he's worked for the Pentagon he's worked for you know for DARPA the Pentagon he's worked for who's the other company that he worked for gosh darn it I can't remember the name of the company
Starting point is 00:13:05 that he worked for after DARPA shoot but it doesn't matter he is you know hacker extortative there no question so you know I know he was part of the, you know, only us insiders know this, that he was the leader of the cult of the dead cow, the hacking group.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I mean, you remember them because they were notorious for releasing Windows, hacking tools in order to go to Microsoft into improving security. I mean, I don't have to tell you that. So, you know, look, and Twitter's been having problems anyway. But they're going to be, they want to be able to tell people, you're off a Twitter, you can't come on Twitter, we're not going to get hacked. We're not going to get hacked from different countries, let alone companies. So they're getting ready.
Starting point is 00:14:06 They are getting ready. And that's a little scary. That's a little scary. So this doesn't help Harvey Weinstein at all. But the NYPD sergeant who oversaw the Weinstein probe, transferred to a new assignment, which means go away and we don't want to see you. She's the focus of an internal investigation over timesheets and vehicles being used. So Sergeant Kerry Thompson, she commanded the NYPD's elite DNA cold case squad,
Starting point is 00:14:43 transferred to the 66 precinct as a special assignment sergeant. That means sit back over. over there in the corner and zip it. Yeah, because the transfer is administrative. Oh, okay. No problem. So apparently Internal Affairs has been taking books from the Special Victims Division and DNA Cold Case Squad and the Manhattan Special Victim Squad.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And she's the common denominator. She signs in and out of all three of those for money, time, time, time clocks, vehicles, anything else. So she was paid in 2019, $177,052. That's a pretty good gig. I'm sorry to disappoint the people that want the police to make more money, but that's not a bad gig. I'm not saying she didn't earn it.
Starting point is 00:15:48 I'm not saying she wasn't working. it I'm just saying that's not a bad gig now according to records her base salary is only 125,531 and you can well understand how someone could struggle on that but apparently she racked up 414.5 hours of overtime and that may be where they're getting into where they're getting into problems right they said misuse of time department vehicles okay but They made sure that they said that the probe doesn't involve day-to-day investigative work or any particular sex crimes cases, which means it has nothing to do with any cases. And you're not coming back to us saying, oops, she screwed up a case. No, this was all other issues.
Starting point is 00:16:41 She's the one we saw her walking Harvey in when he was first arrested. I think that was her. She was the one, she was the one, and don't forget the other detective that, in the Weinstein case, he was kicked off as the lead investigator, accused of coaching a witness to withhold evidence that could have helped
Starting point is 00:17:02 the disgraced movie mogul. And that did hurt because that led to the dismissal of one of the criminal charges. So, you know, you got to believe if you're Harvey, you want something, like that from her, which is why they made a point
Starting point is 00:17:20 of saying, uh, uh, uh, uh, day to day investigative work or any particular sex crime cases. We're not involving any of that. Okay. All right. Keep it that way. Oh, yeah, we've got an update too in Operation Varsity Blues.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yes. Operation Varsity Blues. So, uh, Lori is in jail and we've talked about that and she's going to get out before Christmas, the latest Christmas, but I am predicting that she'll be out by the 18th.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Hubby, Mosimo, Agenidani, is getting ready to go into prison, and there's new pictures of him. He's got a beard now, and according to the article that shows the pictures of him, they call it a crew cut, but that is not a crew cut, my friends.
Starting point is 00:18:27 He has shaved his head, man. He is getting ready for prison. He's expected to go in, tomorrow, the Thursday, the 19th of November, and he's got to spend both Thanksgiving and Christmas at Lompoc in Northern California, and he'll be released around Easter. So, according to the story, the institution that he's going to, and I don't know that this is true, but it's funny, encourages arts and crafts and allows table games and music programs.
Starting point is 00:19:07 So that's good for the designer, right? He'll be able to, you know, do some arts and crafts and create some things, play a little ping pong, listen to a little music. It'll be fun. It'll be a fun five months. And I'm sure that Lori will call when she gets out and say, Hey, Maas, you know, I love you, baby, but I can't come and visit you right now. I got to stay home.
Starting point is 00:19:32 So I love you. And I know you're still pissed at me for getting you into this mess. But, you know, have fun doing your arts and crafts and table games and listening to music. Love you. That is awesome. So he's ready. He is ready to go. Beard and Bald Head.
Starting point is 00:19:58 And he'll show up tomorrow. And he'll be all right. to serve his time from Operation Varsity Blues. I may let this whole thing go. Cannon. Tonight's episode, Shaved Head. Oh, no, we got to go with Skin. Operation Varsity Blues.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Tonight's episode, Skinned Head. Bearded face. Oh, tonight's episode, arts and crafts. That's it. That's the title of the show. Yeah. Operation Varsity Blues. Oh, I got to do it again.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Hold on. Operation Varsity Blues. Operation Varsity Blues. Tonight's episode, Arts and Crafts. All right, let's go to the break room. Oh, man, I need a drink. Desperately, something cold. Refreshing.
Starting point is 00:21:36 My gosh, much better. All right, so, we're going to be a break. We're in the break room. I might as well tell you that Conan has now got plans to end his nightly show on TBS in June of next year. So he's got to work until June. Then he extended his deal with Warner Media. He's going to do a weekly variety show on HBO Max. That's a good deal for Conan.
Starting point is 00:22:13 That's a heck of a deal, man. Wow. But he's not going to do a late night. talk show host duties after June. It's gone. He's done it for 28 years now. My gosh. My gosh.
Starting point is 00:22:29 And he's been on TBS since 2010. So he's done that for 10 years. And I must say, I watched Conan. I guess it was last summer when we were, oh yeah, we were in the hotel because we were staying there because
Starting point is 00:22:48 after the tornado hit the house. and for some reason Conan, you know, I was laying in the hotel room and I hadn't watched Conan in a while, so I had to watch Conan and so I watched Conan. He was live at ComicCon, I think.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And he was great. It was really good. I was really, it was a good show, it was fun, and it was well worth to watch. So I was, you know, it's not surprising that, you know, that he's going to go to HBO Max and do a variety show. I hope it works out for him.
Starting point is 00:23:19 And his quote was great when asked about going to HBO Max. He said in 1993, Johnny Carson gave me the best advice of my career. You know, I love Johnny Carson, so I'm like, cool. He said as soon, this is, Johnny Carson gave him this advice. As soon as possible, get to a streaming platform. And I'm thrilled that I get to continue doing whatever the hell. it is I do on HBO Max and I look forward to a free subscription. Awesome. So good luck Conan. I mean, how do I care if you do good or not? But I'm happy that you're doing that. So we talked a little bit
Starting point is 00:24:04 about rules and regulations the other day with some of the parties that were being stopped at in New York this past weekend. Well, a New Jersey woman pretending to be a member of an animal rescue group has been charged with illegally prescribing medication to treat a sick puppy that she sold to a customer. They should hang her in town square by the toenails. That cannot be. We cannot have that. So she was arrested Friday because a customer reported to the police last month that her Westy Cavalier King Charles Span, the old puppy mix, became sick. Okay, you bought a dog, and it became six. And she contacted Abrams saying, and this is who went to jail this Dawn Abrams.
Starting point is 00:25:04 She contacted Abrams saying the two-month-old puppy was sick. Now, Abrams informed the customer that, oh, you know what, I've got medication to treat the pet. So she provided the customer with some medication dosage or veterinary information. Okay. Now, they also found that Abrams sold the puppy outside a pet shop in Lumberton Township and claimed to be affiliated with an animal rescue group. Why is that not the people who are buying the dog's fault? They're just assuming.
Starting point is 00:25:40 So the group has said, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. we do not have anything to do with that Don Abrams, so she must be alone. But she kept claiming she was part of this organization, and we can't have that. You cannot claim that you're part of an animal rescue organization when you're not. Why not? What does that? I mean, is that sacred ground? I guess so.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I guess it is. Now, we don't even know if she ever worked for the group. Okay, and the puppy recovered. So what are we doing here? She's charged with impersonation of an animal rescue person? Come on now. Unlicensed practice of medicine.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Okay, she's helping somebody out with a sick dog. On lawful distribution of prescription drugs. Are you kidding me? She gave them this. is out of control out of control and the puppy's still alive the puppy got better so she didn't do anything she made people think that she worked with an animal rescue group and she didn't that bitch then the puppy that she sold when the people called her amazingly she gave them the correct contact information.
Starting point is 00:27:15 And she said, oh, yeah, no problem. I've got some medicine for you. And then she hooked them up with some dosage and veterinary information? The horror. This is just a bad person. Man, do I wish I was an attorney? I really, I really wish I was an attorney.
Starting point is 00:27:33 That's the kind of stuff that just ticks me off. I tell you, you know, I'm part of the Jeff Fisher animal rescue group. We're here selling little puppies. Why is it not up to you to go, are you? You got any special
Starting point is 00:27:55 rescue operation badges or anything that you wear? I mean, come on. Does it matter? If I buy a puppy. I'm still stuck on this. If I buy a puppy and I think that I'm buying it from someone who's affiliated with this animal rescue foundation, okay? And I take it home and it gets sick and I call
Starting point is 00:28:28 that person and I said that person helps me out and the dog gets better. What? It doesn't matter. It's just incredible. So, hey, I'm Jeff Fisher.

So we always talk about, I have different criminals, and I love criminals, I really do. There are some of my favorite people, some of my favorite people on the planet are criminals. But one of the reasons that some of them just make me laugh and I don't like them is that they're not real bright. I know, right?
Starting point is 00:31:09 There's a surprise. Okay, I know. I get it. But some of them just aren't bright. Now, a South Carolina man. accused of being a porch pirate. All right. There was,
Starting point is 00:31:24 he had stolen packages that had been left on porches in his, in his neighborhood. All right. And, uh, so he got arrested for it and he had to go to court. All right. So he went to court in the same outfit that he was wearing when he was stealing the packages.
Starting point is 00:31:48 So. when they played the video in court of the alleged robbery, there he was looking exactly the same way that he did when he stole the packages. So maybe you change your clothes. What do you think? Maybe you change your clothes. It was just a thought?
Starting point is 00:32:14 I know, it was just a thought. So yesterday, I had an auction. I was thinking about the vaccine auction because Pfizer had come out with the 90%. And then Biointech came out with their 94.5%. And now today, Pfizer came back with 95%. So do I hear 96? Do I hear 96%.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Do we have that for the vaccine? Do I hear 96? Now there's seven more companies that are struggling to get that. vaccine out but these two companies uh Pfizer Pfizer and biotech are together and then the other one is moderna. uh, Moderna was the one that said 94.5 and then Pfizer came back with the Pfizer biotech came back with the 95. That's awesome. That's awesome. Uh, no, did we say, did we say 90? No, 95. Do I hear a 96 please? Do I hear a 96? I don't know. Maybe we'll hear it some. Maybe we'll hear it
Starting point is 00:33:19 day. I mean, we got to hear it soon, man. There's some states going into a hissy fit. They are locking down again. I told you. I told you it felt like these states were going to start locking down again. It just feels like we're going into this massive lockdown. And if we actually do get Joe Biden as president, he wants to lock us down too. So the states will have, you know, there, yeah, we could log down four to six weeks. Let's go. It's just kill every business and every personal income of all people. They can all be dependent on us. That'd be great.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Okay? Sure, the numbers are going up, but people do not want to be in a lockdown. They have had enough. That's not what we do. And on top of that, it's not only in the United States of America, okay? German police have started clashing with protesters angry at
Starting point is 00:34:18 Merkel's coronavirus law. Yes, that's right. I mean, they're unleashing water cannons and pepper spray to scatter protesters. And these protesters are angry about a new legal framework for enforcing coronavirus restrictions passed by parliament. Oh, really? That's weird that something like that would happen like that in Germany. So the police detained 190 people and nine officers were injured. All right?
Starting point is 00:34:48 So demonstrators, some far right radicals oppose the legislation to enshrine in law, powers to impose steps such as curbs on social contact, rules on mask wearing, drinking alcohol in public, and shutting shops down. Yeah. Okay. You know, we're all very unhappy about that, right? Now, the critics are like, you know, they. we're okay with what they're calling lockdown light, which is where we were at, where most places around the country were,
Starting point is 00:35:24 most places, were in lockdown light. Because we believe most of us, that we need to slow the spread. We got it, but we can't be locked up. We just cannot, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:34 we shouldn't be in jail for us. Now, it's funny how people in Germany are saying that they have compared this new amendment with the 1933 in-Aprison Act that paved the way to Hitler's Nazi Dictatorship. Huh.
Starting point is 00:35:55 So lockdowns and when the government starts controlling businesses and what humans, single humans can do without being following the rules and regulations of the government, that could lead to a Nazi dictator. Hmm. So weird. So weird. Okay. Speaking of coronavirus and protests and waiting on a vaccine,
Starting point is 00:36:34 apparently there's research conducted by Cardiff University found that mouthwash may be able to kill COVID-19 within 30 seconds of exposure. Okay. Yeah, they, you know, it's preliminary, of course. And they've yet to be peer reviewed. So don't get your hopes up by this. But according to this, mouthwash can reduce the levels of coronavirus in a patient's saliva. So mouthwash is containing 0.07% of the ingredient. Cetal pyridinium chloride.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Yeah, if it contains that, then you're good. Yeah, I got it. Thank you. So it showed the promising signs. So if you have mouthwash, you know, in the cabinet, look to see if it has... Cetal pyridinium chloride. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:33 So if you have that, that's great. And, you know, again, it's not peer reviewed. So we don't know if it's, you know, actually there. The findings support another recently published. published study, which identified that CPC-based mouthwashes are effective in reducing the viral load of coronavirus. Now, the scientists conducted tests in a laboratory mimicking the conditions of a person's nasopharnax and orphofarnax, orpharinks, passages, you know, your nose and your mouth in
Starting point is 00:38:14 your mouth, using a mouthwash brand such as dental. But, hey, Venture Life. which makes dental provided the information to the study but did not fund it. So that's, I mean, that actually makes it better, right? They're going to give some money to the next study, they say, but, well, yeah, because this study said that it works. They want to prove that it does now. Yeah, we'll give you some money now.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Hey, dental, you know what? I think that it works too. I know you haven't given me any money yet, but I'm really looking forward to some more tests. So, you know, if you'd like to send me some cash, maybe even some mouthwash, that'd be great. And, you know, I'll give you a study. And I'll tell you how it works out, okay?
Starting point is 00:39:07 All right, thank you. Oh, you know what I keep forgetting to talk about, too, is did you see where CNN may be for sale? if the rumor is out there that it's for sale, it is for sale. They are looking to dump CNN, AT&T. AT&T. It says in the story that AT&T is $150 billion in debt.
Starting point is 00:39:39 Wow. That is a lot. And they are looking to save some money, just a little bit. It's a little bit, and I bet CNN is sucking that place dry. So the only real person, right, that you'd think has the resources,
Starting point is 00:40:01 has the know-how, and really would want it because they could use the infrastructure of CNN to promote everything that they own is Jeff Bezos. Amazon, you know, A-N, CNN, Amazon, Amazon, CNN. He could promote everything from goods and services to transportation, to entertainment. He's the guy. He's the guy. Look for it to happen soon.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Stream and subscribe to more Blaze Media content at theblaze.com slash podcasts. All right, so we talked about this yesterday that I would get into this. And it's, you know, things to look ahead, things that are going to happen in the future. Metatrends. Peter Diamandis wrote this article, and I'm, you know, he wrote it for medium, and it's 20 metatrends for the 2020s. And I went through them, and it's a little scary. And some of it's really cool. Like continued increase in global abundance.
Starting point is 00:41:10 The number of individuals in extreme poverty continues to drop as the middle income population continues to rise. This, according to him, is driven by the convergence of high bandwidth and low-cost communication, ubiquitous AI on the cloud, growing access to AI-aided education and AI-driven healthcare, everyday goods and services, finance, insurance, education, entertainment, are being digitized and becoming fully demonetized, available to the rising billion on mobile devices. I would say that capitalism is involved in that. I don't think Peter thinks that, but we'll see. see. Global
Starting point is 00:41:49 Gigabyte connectivity will connect everyone with everything everywhere at an ultra low cost. Okay. You know, I'm a fan. Let's do it. I'd like to see that. Today's skyrocketing connectivity is bringing online additional
Starting point is 00:42:05 3 billion individuals driving tens of trillions of dollars into the global economy. Okay. Well, let's get into low cost. Let's get into that low cost. connectivity, shall we? I'd like that very much.
Starting point is 00:42:20 An average human health span will increase by 10 plus years. Wow. That would be huge. A dozen game-changing biotech and pharmaceutical solutions currently in phase one, two, or three of clinical trials will reach consumers this decade, which adds time to the human health span. Stem cell, supply, restoration, WNT pathway manipulation, senilitic, medicines, a new generation of endo-vaccines, GDF-11 supplementation, and NMD, NADs, among several others,
Starting point is 00:42:55 huge. Those are making a inroad right now. And as machine learning continues to assure, AI is set to unleash countless new drug candidates ready for clinical trials. Okay. Yeah, because now we're going to get into, then you're talking about genome sequencing, CRISPR technologies, AI, quantum computing, cellular medicine. Holy cow. Number four, age of capital abundance on Peter's list. We'll see increasing access to capital everywhere. Over the past few years, humanity hit all-time highs in the global flow of seed capital, venture capital, and sovereign wealth fund investments.
Starting point is 00:43:37 While this trend will witness some ups and downs in the wake of future recessions, it is expected to continue its overall upward trajectory. Okay. I mean, I hope that is true. I hope that's true. He's talking about, you know, billions in crowdfunding money ready to go. Augmented reality and spatial web will achieve ubiquitous deployment. The combination of augmented reality yielding Web 3.0, the spatial web and 5G networks,
Starting point is 00:44:05 will transform how we live our everyday lives impacting every industry from retail and advertising to education to entertainment. Consumers will play, learn, shop. throughout the day in a newly intelligent, virtually overlaid world. This will be driven by the convergence of hardware advancements, 5G networks, artificial intelligence, material science, computing power. Everything. We are, we're all connected. It's one big, happy family. Everything is smart, embedded with intelligence.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Right. I mean, it's all big, one happy family. The price of specialized machine learning chips is dropping rapidly with the rise in global demand combined with the explosion of low-cost microscopic sensors on the deployment of high bandwidth networks. We're heading into a decade where in every device becomes intelligent. Your child's toy remembers your face and name. Your kids drone safely and diligently follows and videos all the children at their birthday party. Appliances respond to voice commands and anticipate your needs. Are we having fun yet? Are we having fun yet? AI will achieve human level intelligence, as predicted by Ray Kurzweil, the futurist.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Artificial intelligence will reach human level performance this decade by 2030. Through the 2020s, the algorithms and machine learning tools will increasingly made open source available on the cloud, allowing any individual with an internet connection to supplement their cognitive ability, augment their problem-solving capacity, and build new ventures at a fraction of the current cost. This MetaTron will be driven by the convergence of global, high bandwidth, connectivity, neural networks, cloud computing. Every industry spanning industrial design, healthcare, education, and entertainment will be impacted. This is top 20 from Peter Diamandis.
Starting point is 00:46:05 That's only number seven. Wow. AI human collaboration will skyrocket across all professions. I don't even know if I want to read. I mean, the headlines. Most individuals adapt a like software shell to improve their quality of life. As services like Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomePod expand in functionality, such services will eventually travel beyond the home and become your cognitive prosthetic 24-7.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Imagine a secure Jarvis-like software shell that you give permission to listen to all your conversations, read your email, monitor your blood chemistry. With access to such data, these AI-enabled software shells will learn your preferences, anticipate your needs and behavior, shop for you, monitor your health, and help you problem-solve in support of your mind and long-term goals. Wow. Number 10. Globally abundant, cheap, renewable energy. I hope that's true.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Continued advancement in solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, localized, grids will drive humanity towards a cheap, abundant, and ubiquitous, renewable energy. I hope that's true. He talks about pricing here, too. Insurance industry transforms from recovery after risk to prevention of risk. Yeah, I mean, we're already there with a lot of insurances right now, aren't we? You know, fire insurance pays you after your house burns down. Life insurance pays your next of kin after you die. Health insurance, which is really sick insurance, pays only a lot of,
Starting point is 00:47:43 after you get sick, this next decade, new generation of insurance providers will leverage the convergence of machine learning, ubiquitous sensors, low-cost genome sequencing, and robotics to detect risk, prevent disaster, and guarantee safety before any costs are incurred. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:02 No, you're not allowed to do that. The house could burn. Oh, wow. Wow. Autonomous vehicles and flying cars will redefine human travel, soon to be far faster and cheaper. We'll see if that holds true. But okay.
Starting point is 00:48:19 On-demand production and on-demand delivery will birth an instant economy of things. Urban dwellers will learn to expect instant fulfillment. I mean, we're almost there now. I mean, I joke around about that all the time, right? I want my toothpaste and I want it dropped in front of my door right now, right? robotic last mile delivery services carry products from local supply depots directly to your doorstep further riding the deployment of regional on-demand digital manufacturing 3D printing farms
Starting point is 00:48:50 individualized products could be obtained within hours anywhere anytime this metatred is driven by the convergence of networks 3D printing robotics and artificial intelligence yeah i mean that's we're almost there now number 14 in peter's list of the metatrends for 2020 ability to sense and know anything, anytime, anywhere. Wow. We're rapidly approaching the era where in 100 billion sensors, the Internet of Everything,
Starting point is 00:49:19 is monitoring and sensing, imaging, listening, measuring every faucet of our environments all the time. Global imaging, satellites, drones, autonomous cars, and looking augmented reality. Headset cameras are all part of the global sensor matrix.
Starting point is 00:49:37 Together, allowing us to know anything, anytime, anywhere. It's driven by the convergence of terrestrial, atmospheric, and space-based sensors, vast data networks, machine learning. In this future, it's not what you know, but rather the quality of the questions you ask that will be most important. Disruption of advertising. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in everyday life, your custom AI will soon understand what you want better than you do.
Starting point is 00:50:06 In turn, we will begin to both trust and trust. rely on our AIs to make most of our buying decisions, turning over shopping to AI-enabled personal assistance. Your AI might make a purchase based upon your past desires, current shortages, conversations you've allowed your AI to listen to, or by tracking where your pupils focus on a virtual interface. Oh, you like that. You looked at that for a second, didn't you? As a result, the advertising industry, which normally competes for your attention, whether at the Super Bowl or through search engines will have a hard time influencing your AI. This metatrend is driven by the convergence of machine learning sensors.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Well, but, you know, that's true. But with things that you talk about or think about, advertising will be able to influence what your AI purchases from things that you like, right? So your AI would be able to decide, well, I think, I think, I think, I. think, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh, I think that Jeff would like this better, right? Cellular agricultural moves from the lab. I mean, that's why we, you know, we talk about something in our house and we, this morning was a perfect example in my home. I'm talking to my wife. We're talking about watches. And she was, she's bringing up a certain watch that she saw that she loves from Minuteman watches.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And we're just talking about Minuteman watches and we're talking about some other watches and what watches we like and what watches we don't like. And then I decided, well, I'm going to check out my Instagram feed. Immediately, I get the Rolex ad. Okay. I mean, so then using that as an example, my AI would say, you know, Jeff needs a watch when he needs a watch. Does he get a Minuteman or does the ad, did he really like and look at for five seconds
Starting point is 00:52:01 the Rolex? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Cellular agricultural moves from the lab into inner cities providing high-quality protein that is cheaper and healthier. We're going to witness the birth of the most ethical, nutritious, and environmentally sustainable protein production system
Starting point is 00:52:19 devised by humankind. I hope that's true. Stem-cell-based cellular agriculture will allow the production of beef, chicken, and fish anywhere on demand with a far higher nutritional content and a vastly lower environmental footprint the traditional livestock options. This metatrend is enabled by the convergence of biotechnology,
Starting point is 00:52:40 material science, machine learning, and ag tech. Wow, so you're going to have to go someplace. We sell meat made from live animals. Number 17, high bandwidth brain computer interfaces will come online for public use. Kurzweil is predicted in the mid-2030s will begin connecting the human neocortex to the cloud. This next decade will see tremendous progress in that direction, first serving those with
Starting point is 00:53:10 spinal cord injuries. Patients will regain both sensory capacity and motor control beyond assisting those with motor functions, loss. They're attempting now to supplement their baseline cognitive abilities of pursuit with the potential to increase their sensor. Yeah, no
Starting point is 00:53:26 kidding. Memory and intelligence. Wow. When we start, I mean, we're already seeing that with between materials, science, machine learning and robotics. Number 18 in the top 20 from Peter Diamandis, high-resolution VR will transform both retail and real estate shopping. High-resolution, lightweight virtual reality headsets will allow individuals at home
Starting point is 00:53:49 to shop for everything from clothing to real estate, from the convenience of their living room. Need a new outfit, your AI knows your detailed body measurements, and can whip up a fashion show featuring your avatar wearing the latest 20 designs on a runway. Want to see how your furniture might look inside a house you're viewing on. online, no problem. Your AI can populate the property with your visualized inventory and give you a guided tour. I like that. This Metatrend is enabled by the convergence of VR machine learning and high bandwidth networks. Yeah. Number 19, increased focus on sustainability and the environment. Yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:54:24 And 20 in the top 20 from Peter for the Metatrends of 2020. CRISPR and gene therapies will minimize disease. A vast range of infectious diseases ranging from AIDS to Ebola, coronavirus, are now curable. Oh, no, coronavirus is not curable. You've got to drink, mouthwash. AIDS and Ebola are now curable. In addition, gene editing technologies, which they are going crazy on, gene editing technologies, continue to advance in precision and ease of use, allowing families to treat and ultimately cure hundreds of inheritable genetic diseases.
Starting point is 00:55:04 This MetaTrend is driven by the convergence of various biotechnologies, CRISPR gene therapy, genome sequencing, and artificial intelligence. I was just reading a big article on CRISPR and what they were doing and where they were focusing on because they hadn't got it quite right and they are close. And when that happens, we'll be able to make the perfect human. Won't that be great? It was the night before the gathering and all through the house. The host wrapped a cozy cashmere throw from Home Sense for their spouse. Kids toys for $6.99 under the tree. And crystal glasses for just $14.99 for their brother Lee.
Starting point is 00:56:04 A baking dish made in Portugal for Tom and Sue. And a nice $5.99 candle. Perfectly priced just for you. Happy holidays to all. And to all a good price. Home sense. Endless presents. perfectly priced.
