In Revelation, it says that in the end days, plague of locusts will emerge from the abyss. But they will not look like ordinary insects, but they will have supernatural attributes and be mechanical in nature. There's this AI entity that is controlling all the drones. What are your thoughts on the drones? So the drones that I'm aware of is what Danny Jones and Julian Dory were talking about on their shows and that we've talked about, I text them and we text back and forth. And they are both big. Conspiracy theorists.

Danny was telling me what Julian thinks. So initially, he was thinking they were military drones that for some reason the government didn't want to, they didn't want to tell everybody what these drones were. And that they had a viable lead that said that Iran had snuck. a that snuck like a dirty bomb or something into the United States and was going to

was going to blow it up during one of one of Trump's speeches or something, whatever. He would, you know,

they wanted him gone and they were going to blow it up. And I want to say Julian believed it was going to happen during the Army Navy game. This was months ago, right?

Or a month or so ago. And he believed that that's what was going to happen or that it was possible. That's what was going to happen. what was going to happen and that the military knew roughly the area they believed that this dirty bomb

was in and I say dirty bomb I'm throwing dirty bomb in there because I'm assuming that the Iranians can't put together a regular bomb but the truth is maybe it was a regular one I don't know suitcase bomb maybe the suitcase bomb but that's still not a dirty bomb that's a legitimate bomb you know what I'm saying a suitcase bomb could be

two three times the yield what it was it 40 megatons that the uh that you know of Hiroshima or something they could still be huge like those small bombs that they had to put these big the size of a car

could fit into a suitcase now but let's assume that either way if they could just come up with the material they could come with a dirty mom so whatever so let's say they had some kind of bomb whatever it was

it was putting off enough of a signature that the military had drone that they had circling looking for these bombs or this signature so they could pinpoint

it and grab them. Now I'm assuming they didn't grab anything because I've, you would have, that's something that they would have, they would have broken their own arms trying to pat themselves on the bat if they said, yes, we had drones. We were prepared for this. We found it. We've raided the house. We grabbed the bomb. Everything is safe. That's what I think they probably would do to let everybody know, we're on it. We got you. Do you think that they would announce that? Because by announcing it, then people are like, holy crap, there's dirty bombs, there's nuclear bombs in the homeland of the United States. And then they probably take on some culpability because how did the bomb get in here in the first place? Probably came up through the southern border.

I would like to think that they would, but you're probably right. That's something they probably still bury. I don't think that the current, that the Biden administration would take responsibility for anything bad that happened. I don't think any administration for that matter. I don't think to me, I would come out and say, listen. this is what happened like this is they got it in here they shouldn't have they did but we were prepared we got it you know it looked i think that's what you do just to just to get more money you know what i'm saying that's the kind of thing that they do is they they let you know there's this

horrible thing that's happening and the only way to fix it is we're going to tax you more so we can get more money so we can dump more money into security and usher in this a further surveillance state right and what i was going to say and then trump of course i don't think he would have a problem saying that because then he gets to blame somebody right he gets to blame the Biden administration well they weren't strong on this but we're going to fix that and we're going to but then again he's not in yet but he said something where he's like look I know about the drone situation we know what it is we know what they are why they're not telling the American people he said I don't know then that was his that was he said he's not going to travel to Bedminster New Jersey for the foreseeable future

because yeah he said I'm not going to New Jersey there's something going to on there i can't blame him you know right now they're um they're moving i guess his inauguration inside because it's quote unquote too cold but maybe it's because they just don't feel they can secure the the the perimeter like that guy is a magnet for bullets you know he's a he's living a dangerous life man you've had more attempts on your life when you weren't president than the current president yeah that's so you know what kills me about that too is how upset everybody is and how they're all how people are willing to take you know take the you know I guess the the current political climate into their own hands instead of saying

hey more than half the country voted for this man to be president that's just the way it is like that's the same way with Biden whether you believe there were they were stuffing ballots or weren't or they weren't he won the presidency that's the way it is this This is the way our system works. Step back. Let it run its course. You don't get to go out there and start popping people. No.

I mean, and not just that, but, you know, Biden was there for four years and was it a great presidency? Probably not, in my opinion. But I survived it. It's going to be okay. Yeah. You know? Yeah, well, I think so. But I think the issue is well, Matt, is I think most regular Americans are like, okay, you know, whatever, the president's coming.

in the the issue I think is that Trump was kind of like a like a like a like an 80 in the middle of the government like just huge like no more unit party you're bringing in a a wild card and there's a lot of bureaucracy huge bureaucratic organizations that that don't want that because they're they feel their their deep state influence being dragged away they's like oh we got the wild card coming in you got a business guy coming in he's gonna you know he's bringing Elon for efficiency. We can't have that. We can't have efficiency. We need the bloat. We need the budgets. We need the funding. It comes down to money and power. Listen, he, he, I mean, I don't

know about an M8. I mean, it's like, it's a, it's a dozen hand grenades. Like, said, I love watching it. Yeah. I mean, it's great. But the only, my only, I think my only problem right now is that is that because of the elections you know during the month of november youtube just went that that our viewers would just shot straight down and of course everything's connected to views and watch time right bad month in november then he gets elected and then i thought okay after he's elected people will start watching content again and then what happened in December is the numbers stayed down because people are watching like, what's he going to do? Now it's January, they're still down because now they're like, he's about to be in.

It's like, when is this going to end? And then I already know that when he gets in, we got February and March where he's going to disrupt the entire system. That's going to be even more people pulling away watching, well, their normal content. they're going to be watching more political content. This guy's killing me right now. As much as I like seeing, you know, the, you know, the, I guess from now on, it'll be, it'll be shorts and reels.

You know, as much as I like watching this stuff and it just cracks me up, the fact that it's pulling away from views from my channel is, you know, while I'm saying, you know, yeah, this is great. Oh my gosh, I can't believe he said this. And oh, my gosh, I can't believe they said that. And I can't believe. And I'm going back and forth, back and forth. I'm watching my numbers die.

Well, the other thing that happens, you know, I'm in new media. I own a media agency. We're producing thousands and thousands of pieces of content every month for, you know, YouTubers, podcasters, et cetera, is traditional media, the views are way down. Like, nobody is watching MSNBC. Nobody's watching CNN anymore. They were watching YouTube. Well, well, and that's the point.

I think that these big organizations are saying people aren't watching us through traditional cable or dish or whatever, we're going to start putting much larger emphasis on YouTube and new media. And so not only are they funneling a lot more of their content focus there, they're funneling millions and millions of dollars to promote. I'll give you an example. I was running a promotion for a client of mine. Matt, we spent $100 promoting videos.

We picked up 3,000 subscribers in two weeks. So 100 bucks, 3,000 subscribers. plus sending traffic to the newsletter. There's, I think, a huge opportunity there for an organization's, big traditional news organizations see that. And then what happens? Well, now it's harder for independent creators like us to be at the top of the page because you've got huge organizations like CNN's MSNBCs coming in, pouring in hundreds

of millions of dollars to be at the top of the charts. So, you know, it's going to be really interesting to see how news plays out on these new platforms. or on these on these new distribution channels well they come in they've already got millions of you know what I'm saying like some of these uh what is it uh news nation um even Pierce Morgan oh he's huge yeah he's got he started off he's already he's got a two three million uh viewers right now on youtube and that's not even like his main platform he's a YouTuber he's not he doesn't he's not in a studio he's just been in the industry a long time so he has his own little home studio he zooms people in to yell at each other and that's

a show. Oh, I thought it was just YouTube. I thought he was on the national, like, he doesn't have, like, a national platform. No. He's a, he's a YouTuber. I don't know. Well, because that's traditionally what he's been. He's been with the, you know, the BBC or whatever, but he's just, it looks like. He's got the setup where it looks like the news. Yeah. Um, so what do you think the drones are? We're back to the drones, because we got off to say, right? Um, I, personally, I think it's, it's U.S. military. I, personally, I think it's, it's U.S. military, U.S. military testing. And, you know, there's a possibility there could be some sort of like a boiling pot syndrome going on, right?

So we start introducing drone surveillance and we just, we are peppering them in. People get used to seeing drones in the news, drones in the news, drones in the news, drones in the news, all of a sudden there's a bill that passes. All of a sudden you got drones all over the place surveilling 5G all over the place. So I would probably say it's some, it's more of a sciop to kind of, um, Get you acclimated to the environment to see these things. So why are they doing them at night? Why not do them during the day?

Well, the theory there is kind of like you mentioned before they're trying to find radioactive material. It's easier to find radioactive material at night. But I don't have a specific theory on that. I definitely don't think it's UFOs or, you know, aliens or anything like that. Did you ever see the movie they live? Roddy Piper is just a normal guy, is kind of a guy going from homeless shelter to homeless kind of just a you know reminds me of the uh stalone character in um and rambo kind of

just hitchhiking through the world uh and he's just kind of a regular guy picking up an odd job here an odd job here got a backpack let's just walk around and he ends up something happens where i want to say it's a robbery or something where he he ends up um disrupting some kind of robbery and these guys they drop a bunch of boxes. So there's a bunch of boxes and one of the boxes spills over or something or maybe it was a robbery

that he was involved that I don't know what's happened but there's a bunch of boxes and a bunch of these glasses fall out. They look like the old raybans, right? And he grabs some of them and he's walking down the street and he puts one on

and when he puts it on, everything's black and white. He takes it out, he's like, what the hell? It's like what? And they make them feel kind of like, kind of give you a little bit of headache

after you wear them too long. So he puts them on and as he puts them on and he's walking, he's kind of like, like, this is weird. He's looking around but when he looks up at

the street signs, it'll say like, you know, Bob's supermarket. But when he puts the glasses on, it says obey. He's like, the hell? And he puts them on to obey.

And he notices another sign. The sign says like, you know, whatever, buy state farm insurance, but he looks at it and it says, obey your masters or it says consume or it says don't question the government. Like there are signs everywhere that say these things and he's like, what hell?

And then as he's walking, he keeps putting them back and on because they kind of hurt a little bit. You have to get used to him, I guess. So you put them on and like people are walking towards him, but they're not people. They're like aliens. but not like they're different

they're just like a normal person but you can tell like they almost have like no skin or so like they're like a gray but a really ugly gray and so he's like what the hell and you know the one will look up and be like what's your problem

he's like what what's my problem you know he's like and then he you know the other thing he notices there are drones drones are like like going down the streets but he takes them off

and it's not there but they're everywhere I can't believe you've never watched it Yeah, I got to see it. It sounds great. It's great because it's a whole thing where he realizes that basically like aliens, it's almost like we're like a resort destination to them, you know, where they can come and do whatever they want and behave how they want.

And we're just here to kind of as entertainment for them. Yeah. And, but it's, it's funny because what's really happened, you know, you're seeing one thing, but you put the glasses on, you realize something completely different is going on. And so that's kind of how I feel like, and I don't, and I didn't always feel this way. It's not till in the last probably four or five years and it's very gradual. It's probably in the last couple years where like Julian and Danny are 100.

Percent all in on all of these different conspiracies. Like they believe that the pyramids are, you know, we're one. batteries for generating energy for spaceships like they got like all the craziness they believe you might believe that too I don't know but the point is is like all these insane theories that I'm like you're insane like I'm better off believing I mean I'm okay believing the you know like I you know it's did you ever see the Mike Mike I hate I say I keep going back to movies do you ever see the Mike Myers movie where his dad believes like the the The Pantara is they meet tri-annually to determine, you know, the fate of the world and what's happening.

And so, you know, it was like a big joke, right? These people that believe like the Masons are running everything. Sure. You know, it's like this kind of this joke that's been going on for 20, 30 years. But as things are happening and as these apps and these social media platforms are putting things together, some of it's still insanity. But some of it seems like it's making sense. Well, the problem is, is more and more conspiracy theories, quote-unquote, turn out to be true. Right.

It's like, oh, well, it opens you up to believing more of these conspiracy theories. Like the Wuhan lab, quote-unquote, conspiracy theory. Now it's kind of like, oh, obviously the Wuhan, there was Wuhan lab league. It's so funny how they were just mocking the shit. I'd like that the media was mocking the hell out of Trump when he would say the Chinese. Oh, the Chinese virus. Yeah, well, it came from China. It came for the live.

They're like, no, so that's no, but no, that hasn't. no that's not what's happening they this and of course now the gas lighting 10 years ago 10 years or sorry three or four years later it's true they don't say they never come back and say wow yeah we were mocking you about that and you were actually right about that like they don't ever come back and say those things like yeah that was my bad didn't mean to do that didn't realize you know what you were right on that the the legacy media consistently lied openly they shot themselves in the foot so many times that all the credibility is is gone right i just don't see how they can can actually continue to survive you know you you can only you lie to me once shame on you

lie to me twice shame on me like why would i keep buying it like even more recently i have some some liberal friends when they heard uh obama share the very fine people on both sides hoax you yeah yeah yeah you know he he says it and it's like That's been debunked. You know, Trump said very good people on both sides, not talking about white supremacists. They should be condemned totally. Right. No, they cut that part out.

They're still running, but they're still running with it. Right. You can't continue to run with that. Although eventually people are going to be like, okay, I just don't, I can't believe anything you say because even the thing, because I know that you're lying to me openly to my face about something and you just continue to do it. The gaslighting has just reached unprecedented levels. And what about Trump right now?

suing them, suing is it, is it, is it ABC or CBA? I forget who he was suing, but they're already talking about trying to, like he's got like a 400 million dollar lawsuits. And they're already trying to,

trying to, asking him to settle it. And he's saying, no, no, I'm going all the way, all the way there. They're like,

let's settle, let's settle. Of course you want to settle. You guys are constantly settling. When you're, when you're blatantly lying all the time, you have to start settling. You can't, I can't go to trial.

Yeah. And I certainly don't want to go to trial where people, where they're going to invite cameras in or the media in and the truth may be exposed god forbid i don't want that to happen let's settle yeah just the line the lying has to stop i mean obviously you're going to make mistakes especially with something like the drones like there's so many different potential reasons why we can be seeing these drones like like you're saying the sciop that or that you're saying that

they're trying to slowly you know slowly get us to be okay right with seeing drones in the air it's the same kind of thing as like to me the aliens thing you were mocked mercilessly when I was growing up if somebody said that they had seen like like a UFO or something you would have mock that that person is losing their job nobody will ever take them seriously you're a joke for the rest of your life but now the Navy's talking about then now they've got they got videos of of you know UFOs and pilots all over the place are coming out saying yeah I've seen them we live and I think Matt we We're living through a day and age where AI and visual effects and reality is so easily distorted that I don't discount necessarily anything from anyone. You really can or you end up being feeling foolish later. Yeah. Well, you have to, you know, I'll question things. I think it's smart. Honestly, I think we have to question everything.

Are you familiar with that show Catfish on MTV? Yeah. So on the show Catfish. Is there still going? I think so. That's been forever. That's been forever. So you have these people going back and forth. Oh, it's that in prison.

Fair. You know, pretty popular show. But what would never happen? There would never be a video call between the person who's being catfished and the person who is pretending to be someone else. They would never get on video calls. They had the big aha moment at the end where they meet up in person. And they're like, holy cow, I never knew it was you.

Yeah. Well, now with AI, deep fake technology, filter technology. you can you could easily have a video call with someone put an overlay over your face and you could be anyone in anything so it just I just look at that is how far have we come where I could actually have a video call with you and I could superimpose my face to be any person any voice pretty easily using some pretty basic AI technology so we have to kind of question everything I think is um so two things one this is funny uh i i um so i do i do uh interviews for uh home title lock

which is a company that protects people uh homeowners protects homeowners um against uh title theft so they they monitor your title and if something happens to your title then they notify you and say, hey, did you just, did you just transfer the deed to your house? And then you're like, no, I didn't. And then, of course, they contact up law enforcement. They put, they, they, they, they file something on you. They do what they have a whole series of things that they do to try and stop whatever's happening. Someone's selling your house, whatever. They do a whole thing. And then if something does happen, they actually will, we'll hire an attorney and they'll fix it. Anyway, so I do these interviews, right? And I've been interviewed by everybody, Steve Bannon, like,

what's the cop that former cop oh gosh officer tate um like they probably there's five or six of these guys that i've been interviewed by and the and people send me stuff because they see me doing these interviews people contact me all the time like and send me stuff somebody sent me a video the other day where this person was selling their house and they did because you don't have to show up for a closing in in most states Sure. There's like 13 states where I think you still have to show up. Most of them, if you're just selling the house, you don't have to show up.

You do what's called, it's a remote closing, and you have a remote notary. But they do, they do have to see you. So you have to do like a Zoom thing. So the person, so you've got the, you've got the buyer and the real estate agent and the title person all on camera. And you've got the seller. Now, before the closing, when they sign the sales conference, contract, they got a copy of the driver's license. Okay. They, you know, they fax it or they email it to you. You sign it, you send it back, copy of your driver's license. That's fine.

Then you go to the closing and at the closing, the closing agent, like in most states, it's a closing agent. There are some states where it's a real estate attorney, whatever. The closing person is there watching this, or having this conversation on Zoom, and they're sending documents back and forth. And the woman, they ask her at one point, like, can you send us a copy of your driver's license? She does. And they said it was definitely looked like the woman in the driver's license. But while they're talking, and nobody else notices but the title person, not the real estate agent, not the buyer. While they're talking, first of all, this is what the person looked like, right? They're standing there like this. It's an older woman, and she's kind of doing

this it's kind of just it's moving side to side just slightly it's very it's it's very odd like not moving it's almost like a photograph right mm-hmm it's not a photograph because the person talks but when it's not talking it doesn't do the normal things that a person does like it does blink you know but it's it's this weird kind of bobbing motion yeah and so the person asked the the title person asked them some questions so this was a like a a reel or something that I got from somebody who was like bro check this out and this was somebody who had been interviewed for a TV for like a news program saying listen to this this is how insane it's getting and while they're talking so the woman says to her you know hey mrs so-and-so

do you are you um ask her a question and then there's a there's a moment of pause and then she's like yes that's fine it's like okay and they were like but it didn't seem natural you can mind most people aren't watching nobody else noticed you know they just want to sign and get it like i'm not trying to figure out if this is fraud if this is a real person but the notary wants to make sure this is the real person sure and most notaries don't care i got the id yeah it looks like her great i'm i'm gonna email you this sign this sign this email it back we're done right just happened this woman noticed it and at one part person point she's like can you can you raise your left hand and she sat there okay thank you you know what I'm saying it's like and then it's I'm going to need you to raise your left hand you know what I'm saying started asking her to do things right wouldn't do it and then eventually they closed they just turned it off this was somebody and I hate to say this I'm going to say India you know India or you know Nigeria or wherever the Pakistan wherever the

the scammers are you know like some scammer who you know had this bot that probably would have you know or AI generated old woman that would have would have probably passed muster pretty much with anybody this woman just happened to catch it yeah it was it was insane and the other thing have you seen these masks oh yeah dude they're they're they're like these vine not vinyl they're like a fabric mask it's like a rubber mask yeah it's amazing And you can put them on, and they're saying, because I watched a thing on it, where they were saying, you know, you don't understand it. They're so good.

You can have a conversation. And it's, it's borderline passable. Yeah. Now, could you imagine putting that on and it being, and being on a Zoom? Oh, yeah. It's definitely passable on a Zoom. Oh, yeah. You put on an old man mask.

You could put it through even a voice filter on Zoom, something like that. Oh, yeah. Or you don't even need one because they don't know what the guy sounds like. They were trying to steal this woman's identity. To me, with the driver's license, I'll just put the picture of the mask on there. Yeah. I'll take a bunch of pictures of the mask with a thing. I'll take a picture because you're showing, you're not sending them physical ID.

I'll just make a fake ID and have it on there and show it to them, scan it, send it to them when they say, oh, yeah, no, no problem. I'm here, ready, ready to go. Yeah, I watch a video. My left hand, sorry. I saw this video. This guy is walking around New York City. He's got, like, I don't even know what the material is. It's like a nylon mask.

You just pull over your head. And on the front of it, it's got a picture of like Kanye. And people are like stopping to take selfies with him. Like Kanye, Kanye. It's just a dude wearing this black nylon mask with a picture of Kanye on the front. Dean Shooter has one. It's like it's a stocking. It's a stocking.

Yeah. But no, but I'm talking about like the real mass that you can make. These things are are insane. Right. It's like it's literally Mission Impossible from 20 years ago. where Tom Cruise just rips off, like, oh, you were, it was you this whole time, Jack Ryan, whatever. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's, it's a, it's, it's a, it's, you, you, you, you, you, you,

I was active. Oh, boy. Boy. Well, you can go to the, to the, to the, to the other side and help people put, they don't pay. Implementations in place. Yeah. Helping people fix fraud doesn't pay.

Yeah. Fraud pays. No, I'm just joking. They're, I'm joking. Things are a little backward, yeah. So, okay, so the drones, that's it, military, that's it. That would be my stance. But I'll go even a level deeper on the drones.

I was watching a video of these drones, this huge drone swarm lifting off the ground, right? There's tens of thousands of drones in this big field. They're activated. They look like swarms of locusts. And I don't know if you're a Christian, if you read the Bible, anything like that. But in Revelation, Revelation 9, it says that in the end days, plague of locust will emerge from the abyss. Plagues of locust. But they will not look like ordinary insects, but they will have supernatural attributes and be mechanical in nature.

Get out of here. I promise you could bring it up. Revelation 9. They will be swarming. They will not just kill, but they will torment. And you know, you talk to people, military over in Ukraine, Russia, and where they're using these loitering munitions, these suicide kamikaze drones. These warriors report being tormented by these drones because they hear they think it's, it's, coming to blow them up.

So that's happening. They are. They absolutely are. You've seen them blowing them up. Like it's, it's insane. Just straight into the tank, boom, straight into three guys, boom. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it's happening all over the world. In Israel, Palestine, you know, it's, these drones are just common causing. So you're tormented. So this is like straight out of revelation. It also says that in Revelation that there will be a king above. the swarms of locust, an abidon, as they, as they say, and the speculation there is that there's this AI entity that is controlling all the drones and these swarms of locusts. So you want to get crazy.

It's been, it's been predicted in a 2000-year-old book. And, you know, I do think that throughout the course of human history, you can always say, oh, we are in the end times. We're in the end days. since I was since I was a kid always but so I have a question did you see the um the I want to say celebration or festival whatever in Dubai where they used the drones sure by or was it Singapore was one Dubai Singapore what I think was Dubai and it was insane thousands of drones yeah and they've got they got pictures in the skies they've got they're interacting with each other

there are people, they've got human beings that are kissing, they've got, it's, dragons, they've got, it's, and it's, it's insane. Anything like that, because you imagine you take that and you go back, 300 years, you could rule the world, you know, you could just absolutely just, you know, you, you walk out and you say, well, I'm, I'm going to have my dragons come and burn the entire city down and suddenly three dragons roll up and there's, you know, I'm going to have them. burn them down right now and they'd be like oh wait we'll give me whatever you want i mean people they wouldn't know what they were seeing either they would hear these that's what i'm saying

they see they're dragons swarms of locust dragons mechanical it you know that is it's very possibly what they what they could have been seeing here back in uh you know during this this in revelation but um they could have seen the future and this is just their their interpretation exactly exactly because you don't you know you see something you see technology that is you know even slightly um slightly um slightly further evolved than what you're used to it's what is that that there's a saying that it's indistinguishable from magic yeah so if there's technology that's you know a beyond what you're used to it it's almost it almost sees like magic like that's what my phone was when i first grabbed my iPhone i was like this is magic bro yeah like this is insane how

out, you know, if you don't, if you're not seeing the technology evolve slowly, then when you see it, it's like, you know, it's like going to, going back, you know, 500 years and pulling out an iPhone. I mean, people would just think, they're like, oh, my God. They lose their minds. Yeah. But, I mean, I think that's, again, going back to this drone thing, I think that's part of what we're seeing with the drones is make you comfortable with it, make you comfortable

with it. In 10 years, when you walk outside, there's going to be drones everywhere. There's going to be Amazon's going to be delivering your toilet paper with drones. you're going to order Uber Eats, a drone's going to drop it off. Maybe it's an autonomous vehicle, but probably it's going to be a flying drone. Some of these drones are seeing off New Jersey are the size of SUVs. Yeah, yeah. That's what I thought was so odd is that they're so big.

Everybody's been saying, no, no, these are big. These are really big. And that, to me, it's got to be military. Like, you know, the average person's not putting that together. Right. Or, you know, the other thing I was saying, this was before I heard that, but this was what in the early stages, I didn't know. how big these things were like look this could be a group of kids that have drones yeah it could

have been 12 kids that say listen you know it would be great let's go ahead at at 10 o'clock at night let's all fly our drones will go around these areas and we'll circle then we'll do TikTok we'll do video them and do TikToks about how they're this or what were they're yeah you know what they're being spotted everywhere and we'll get a whole thing we'll try and go viral you know that kind of thing yeah but then it evolved too no no no these are big these are math These are very, very large drones. And then as it evolved, and then the government started coming out saying, you know, what they were, what they thought they were. Yeah.

And then Trump came out. And then I thought, okay, well, this is probably what's going on, you know, and they just don't want to tell us. Why they wouldn't tell us, you know, I get your saying, well, they don't want to take responsibility because maybe they snuck a bomb in or something. But well, we still know there was a, in 2024, there was a Chinese air balloon that flew across the entire continental United States. Yeah. We still know it was up with that. Yeah. Like, oh, we, you know, it's just.

They're just doing their thing. It's like, bro, they've got a freaking spy balloon flying over all of our farmland. China owns 200,000 acres of farmland in the United States. I think that's what it was. I think it was just a spy balloon that was flying over the United States. It's just what it was. Listen, right now they have ships that are going back and forth through the ocean to catch fiber optic lines just so that they could catch them in case they want to cut them or snap.

They're actually dragging an anchors across the ground to try and catch these fiber optic lines between like Singapore and whatever, the Netherlands or wherever they are, these things that are ever, they're trying to find them so that they can find them and tag them. Because if we have a war, we can cut them. Yeah. You know, like, I mean, they're, they're always doing something slimy. I think the new, you know, when I think about war, when I think about war, I really think of that, you know, like storming the beach, beaches of Normandy and Trent. French warfare, but the next, the next war is, I don't think it'll look like that at all. It's going to look like swarms of drones, flying around, comma causing into key places, and then maybe some human beings coming on the back end, but maybe it's more like these robot

dogs with flame throwers and machine guns strapped to their backs. I think it, for the foreseeable future, we're going to need booths on the ground at some point. Like, you're right, they can soften them up, really soften up, uh, um, whoever, you know, an enemy with, with drones, with airstrikes. There's a ton of stuff you can do, but at some point you have the boots on the ground. The thing is, is that in the five to ten years, those boots on the ground could just be, you know, Tesla bots. Right. You know, a version of the Tesla bot, you know, because the Tesla bot right now, it's functional.

And when they say, oh, they'll be selling for whatever, $30,000, and yeah, but I've seen them. And yeah, it's pretty cool, but it's gimmicky. You know what I'm saying? I don't see these things really doing what a normal person. If you hired a maid to clean your house, I don't think you're going to get the same dexterity out of a Tesla buy. Five years from now, you definitely will. It's like when the self-driving cars first came out,

like they're bumping into stuff. They're stopping. But now, now they're phenomenal. Now they're going into all kinds of places where it's like, okay, we don't have this thing tracked and they're still able to do it. They're really, really, you know, becoming. amazing. And that's what happens. The technology comes out. You have some problems. They keep tinkering with it. And five, 10 years later, it's like, this is, this is insane how good this is.

It's, and I think it's moving really fast, Matt. I, my, you know, because I agree, you know, the Tesla bots right now are kind of gimmicky, but I can see the vision. In five years, 10 years, I could see every house having one of the, having one of the, having one of the Tesla bots in them, self-driving cars. I think within the next five years, every single person listening to this will have road in a self-driving car like a waymo or an uber or something like that that's up on cars row i don't even have a car i just uber everywhere well or or just drives me yeah that's all that's it just drives me just my uber right now or right now but i mean yeah but don't you feel like that kind of steals your autonomy a bit like if something were to really go

down like i i was uh on a daddy-daughter camping trip last year and um apart's big uh troop here in in Florida and one of the dads was like had his Tesla cyber truck posted up and he had a tent on the back that was pretty dope he's like yeah I couldn't make it all the way up here I had to stop for 30 minutes to charge the battery I was like huh so you only can travel about 200 miles at a time that reduces your autonomy if you had a real a regular gas driven truck you could have a few gas tanks in the back and you could actually move you wouldn't have to stop in charge and charging station you're still into the gas like if the entire the entire strike infrastructure, you know, infrastructure goes down, gas is going to dry up pretty quickly.

But regardless, I'm not, I'm, what I'm saying is I don't have a vehicle. I Uber. Like, I'm not talking about electric vehicles. I'm saying, I just Uber or Jess, and we have a gas vehicle because there's no way Jess would allow me to get an electric vehicle, it just wouldn't happen. Like, so look, just even the look on her face now is just irritated, just even thinking about it. She gets mad.

I got to say, the idea of having a vehicle like a Tesla that can drive me places and I can just kind of hang out, like, that's pretty amazing. Yeah. It's really amazing. What's really going to be cool is when you can buy an electric vehicle and then because I actually, I thought it was supposed to be coming out in 2025 where you can buy a Tesla, self-driving Tesla and you can put it on an app. And then you can go to work. You can put it on the app. Make it go live. go to work. And while you're at work, it's doing Uber. Like, it's basically doing an Uber service. And then it comes back to you at the, you know, when you get off work, hey, be back here by 530. You show up. It shows up. So basically, it's making enough money to easily pay for itself while I'm working. Same thing with a Tesla bot. People are like, oh, you know, 40,000, that's a lot. Well, that's not a lot for a factory worker who works 24 hours a day. Right. It pays for itself in six months. Right. Because you're not working, you're not even working 40 hours a week. You're working. You're working. You're working.

and 24 hours a day nonstop, that thing in six months it pays for itself. Like, that's, that wipes out an entire, that wipes all the, the labor force. I really wonder what's going to happen to the, the human worker over the next five to 10 years. This, you know, is someone who reports on the AI news on, on my newsletter and what, and I talk a lot about AI. I really wonder where humans fit in. Because to your point, you know, why would I hire a human to work in a warehouse? Why would I hire a human to work in a call center?

Why would I hire a human to drive and do deliveries? Why would I do that when I can have autonomous vehicles, robots that don't get tired, they don't complain about Mary, they don't get sick, they just do the damn thing. Why, where do humans actually fit into a world like that? What people say, what people have, what people say is, well, you won't be replaced by a robot or AI. You'll be replaced by someone that's using a robot or AI, but I'm still, you're still replaced. Yeah, it doesn't matter. There's still, let's say you have to have somebody to monitor. Oh, you have to have somebody to monitor them and fix them.

Okay, great. So for every thousand of them, you need an extra employee or two. For every 500, you need an extra employee. Okay, well, that's still 499 jobs that are gone. Exactly. You know, so. Exactly. Where there were this many jobs, where there were 500, now there's five.

Who are the humans that fill those roles? You get to a point where there's either universal income of some kind or you have to limit the amount of people that are here you see what I'm saying like yeah you you can't because the system can't run without people working well so let's just say here conceptually universal income doesn't work because humans need purpose right if your purpose is to wake up yeah exactly like I think that universal income like it sounds good at first but Within a weekend, you'd be like, what, what am I supposed to do? Like, just, am I just a dopamine machine?

No, you know, humans need to make goals, challenge themselves, have experiences. So, yeah, some of those unhappy people I know are people that don't have a purpose. You could have all the money in the world you want, but if you don't have a purpose every day that you're, or a goal that you're a long-term goal that you're working toward, you're typically those people are pretty, pretty miserable. Right. You know, they, they don't really understand. And the worst thing is they don't really understand why they're miserable. Yeah. Well, you don't really have a reason to get out of bed.

You don't have a goal that you're working towards every day. You don't, you don't have a purpose. And, you know, that, that's a, that's a huge, a huge thing as far as, um, feeling good about yourself. I got back from a vacation. My, my family and I went to Ireland over the summer and came back. And we got back. I was, I was kind of in a funk. I was like, uh, I'm, I can't really get back into things.

like I'm just, you know, just kind of like goofing off, wasting time, playing video games, stuff like that for a couple days. I was kind of in this funk, right? I wasn't feeling real good about myself. Wasn't working out. About three days after I got back, went to the gym within two minutes of being in the gym and lifting weights. I was like, we're back.

We're freaking back, baby. And it's because you got to be doing something hard. Right. You know, it was very comfortable to sit on the couch and sleep in and be lazy. and eat dominoes uh shut out dominoes i actually like dominoes but that feels good but it just like it only feels good for for a fleeting moment so that's i think is kind of the problem that we're going to run into in that world where there's a universal basic income and there's just extreme efficiency on on all sides so i i don't i don't see that as being a very good solution

to the AI robotic human yeah but there's a lot of people like what whatever so it let's say they started building robots. Let's say it took 10, 15 years to replace, completely replace. You'd replace a lot, like manual labor, service jobs, like almost, let's say 70% of the jobs, and those people are sitting at home with nothing to do and no income. That's the problem is you suddenly have riots in the street because they have the income to feed. They have the income to feed themselves and and if they can't feed themselves then you have to provide them with some kind of, you know, some kind of income. So you provide them with income. Then you've got, God, I'll bet you've got mass, what do you want, let's say, offing themselves or what, unaliving,

people unaligned themselves, you know, you have massive, like you've got depression, you've got, I mean, Pfizer would be thrilled because they'd be. you know, making tons of, of, um, antidepressants and stuff. But, you know, so it, I... Book club on Monday. Gym on Tuesday. Date night on Wednesday. Out on the town on Thursday.

Woo! Quiet night in on Friday. It's good to have a routine. And it's good for your eyes too. Because with regular comprehensive eye exams at Specsavers, you'll know just how healthy they are. Visit specksavers.ca to book your next eye exam, eye exams provided by independent optometrists. I don't know what happens. Like you can't, you can't have an entire civilization. And you can't pay these people. You live in the pod and you eat the bugs.

Yeah. Is, I think the quote unquote best solution. By the way, in Orlando, I just, I just drove over here from Orlando, McDonald's, you walk in, there's a, this is the world's largest McDonald's in Orlando. You go in, you type in what you want on a screen, you get a number, you go sit down, a robot brings you out your food when it's ready, it finds you on the floor, drops it off, you eat, robot comes back, picks it up, takes it away, you're done. You don't have to interact with a human being in a restaurant. And that's, it's kind of where we're, that's kind of where we're at right now. Well, I mean, we're starting to be. Even if they wanted to implement that right now in restaurants all over the

world, how long does that take? It takes a while. You got to build these robots. You know, you got to build the robots. You have to have people put them in. You have to have somebody. But I think it's going to be slow. And this kind of comes back to that. It's not like 10 years, like five or 10 years. It slowly happens. But when it does happen, it's a problem. I think when it happens, it happens fast, right? It happens. I think it happens really fast. Yeah. You know, you take a big. I mean, I don't think it's that hard to build, build the robots. I mean, you have these giant factories. There's a lot of McDonald's. There's a lot of fast food. places. There are. Well, and I think this, you know, when I think about like financially, where's, you know, what's going to be the next boom? The next boom is going to be manufacturing in the United States. It's going to be manufacturing chips. It's going to be energy. And it's going to be cooling. How do we cool all the, the chips, you know, because you could build these really large manufacturing facilities here in the United States. And you have robots building the robots, then the robot servicing the robots. I think it can move, I think it can move faster than we expect. That's what I think.

to be on the compound by then you have to build a compound we were growing our own food and we have solar panels and that's where we got to we got that's where we got to be by the time that happens i don't think it's a better than 10 years that's less than 10 years in uh in mara lago uh trump already has robot security on site these robot dogs moving around mara lago yeah exactly I saw the other day I sent this to Jess. It was and, you know, it just looks like a boss, I was sorry, a box with a, you know, with a barrel sitting out of it, right? And what is filled with is, um, a pepper spray or pepper, remember was the, um, what is it, not pepper spray? Mace.

Yeah, mace balls or something where they shoot, so it's basically it's, it's, um, paintballs. Yeah. So it's, do you remember I sent that to you? You probably don't watch, you don't watch any other things. I send you. Anyway, boy, but let me tell you when I come down and she says, did you watch those two TikTok? I'm like, oh, I haven't had, oh, oh, you haven't had a time?

So it was on a pole, right? It's on a pole and it's it outside your house. And then anytime it senses something like somebody comes into your yard, it, and then it tells them to leave. And if they don't leave, it does a little countdown and it follows you. And it just, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, and it shoots mace balls at you. Or pepper spray ball, pepper balls at you. right like how great is that shockingly accurate too i love that have six of those things around

the facility eight of them around the facility nobody's getting in yeah can't let your dog run it loose but that's well that's when cybersecurity becomes a big deal because you don't want that thing to someone to hack in and then turn it against you on the inside or something yeah it'd have to be hard hardwired is it cheating if you hook up with a robot my wife and i were discussing this day. We were watching this Megan Fox movie. Oh, yeah. I've seen that. You know. I saw the previous. Yeah. So, spoiler alert.

He hooks up with the Megan Fox robot. Is that cheating when you hook up with a robot? Is it cheating on your partner? There's only... Yes. Even thinking about it is cheating. Right. Right. I'll say, babe. It seems like it seems like it's cheating, too.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. We, we both, my wife's, they both are not cheating. It's weird. Yeah. Like a weirder.

Like, what are you doing? It seems weird now, but I promise you in 10 years, people are going to be hooking up with these robots all over the place. Did you ever see Cherry 2000? The guy has a, it's when you can get,

you can get a robot like the, the Megampa. You can get one and she's your girlfriend. So you don't. Yeah. Because because, because hooking up, become so transactional

in the future people start opting for these robots and this guy has his robot and he like falls in love with her. Yeah. Something happens where her chip is out of date

and they don't make the chip anymore. So he has to hire somebody to go in and find a robot in the forbidden zone where, you know, and to find one and to find the chip or something to replace the chip in his his cherry 2000.

Something like this actually happened last year. There was a company called Replica. Okay. And Replica made these AI companion chatbots. Not a physical robot, but it's a chatbot you can communicate with. Well, spoiler alert, men started having sexual, you know, having sexual conversations with these chatbots, you know, they started sexting with the chatbots. The company decided, this is Replica, Replica AI decided, we want to clean up our

act, we're going to go public. We want to, we want to, we have a different vision for ourselves. So they shut down the sexting feature one day. Well, immediately millions of young men complained saying you have just lobotomized our girlfriends. Right. I no longer have my companion. Nobody knows me like my replica chatbot. And that's just a texting relationship. imagine it as a physical person exactly you you factor in a physical person which by the way these physical robots are already starting to look fairly fairly realistic but maybe you put on you know you know some goggles to make them look even look more realistic or you just wait a few more years and they do look like making fox i don't see i i'd see that that's going to happen

yeah that's going to happen anytime a new technology comes out the first thing that humans do is try to have sex with it. Right? We're going to see. Hopefully. Fact check true. I guess there's two things I'd like to be around for. One, I'd like to see, I would really like to see how these androids, you know, evolve.

And two, I'd really like to see if we go to Mars, you know, humans go to Mars. I mean, I think that probably they send like Tesla bots there first or something to build or whatever, but not the ones that they're coming out off the line right now. But I'd like to really see that. I think that's super interesting. I don't find them attractive at all, but, but I would like to see, I do think that ultimately that's kind of cool. Yeah, robots that. But isn't that weird? I've got a five-year-old son and he's going to be good.

Like when he's 15, that's 10 years from now. yeah i can i fact check the fact check me predict this in 10 years half of high schoolers are going to be in relationships with some sort of robotic or AI but isn't yeah but you know also weird um dating apps when they first came out if you told somebody you were on a dating app or yeah yeah we met on a dating app initially they would snicker it was a whole now it's like the standard right two out of three two out of three relationships were still were met on a dating app like if you really think about it like how stupid is it to go to a bar you're going to search the whole night talk to several women probably not end up with any of them and spend hours and hours and hours

talking to one or two women and it's over like it never ends up going anywhere you could spend that same amount of time and hit up 150 of them and 15 are interested and seven seven of them end up being dates and I mean really it doesn't take that long yeah but there is a chemistry of being physically in the same space with someone yeah you got you got you got to go you do a Starbucks run you meet them for Starbucks you know within five minutes you're like yeah it's not going to you know so but that's still a lot less time than going to bar after bar after bar after it does seem crazy simple crazy I've never been on a dating app been with my wife 18 years now so you know to your point it was not really something you did like you weren't like going into chat rooms

to meet a girlfriend or whatever. It was just starting off when you met your wife 18 years ago. We're just becoming a thing at that time. But it was still kind of looked down on, right? Like, the losers were on dating apps. Yeah, it's like, oh, you can't function in the real world. But yeah, but that's a good point. As time moves on, as online relationships become more ubiquitous, that's the standard now.

Two out of three relationships are starting on an online dating app. Yeah. Yeah. I don't see any reason why that would change. but I think it goes a step further and now people are having relationships with AI AI girlfriends online

I mean have you seen any of these AI avatars online these AI models I mean I've only seen them on the like a short that's talking about them like I've never actually I my understanding is that like on Instagram there some of them have like millions of followers on Instagram and they're having community

they're talking and doing things and interacting and that like I haven't but I I don't actually wonder what any of them are. You look one up. It's just some dude in Pakistan who is creating these AI, AI checks online. Well, I mean, well, no, not exactly. They're using an AI program. They're using a few different AI programs to create these images of this, of this AI.

It's not even a human. It's just an AI generated image. But the male brain is very visually oriented. We see something. We like it. We're attracted to it. we want more of that and so you're you're having these AI girlfriends that are that are very visually pleasing perfect 10 out of 10 they know exactly what you like they know exactly what

you want they know all the different websites you've gone to now they're showing up in your feed over and over and over again it's the it's the greatest thirst trap trap in the history of humanity because now you're seeing let's say you're into blondes or whatever now all you're seeing is this blonde chick that's retargeting you online you start texting with it and then before you know it you're addicted to the to the dopamine burst um and this is this is already happening at scale it's already happening at scale and and i don't know how a young like i'm 42 my mind's pretty developed at this point at least that's what i tell myself but i think it back to myself at age 16 15 i didn't know what the hell was going on well so what what happens

when it gets when the AI and the androids are everywhere and people start to have problems feeding themselves and they're broke and they're being kicked out of their houses and there is no universal income and even if you do inflation is the government can't figure it out because they can't pretty much figure out anything and so what happens do humans rebel and decide hey you know what this is this is not working we need to have a we need to go back to the old ways Well, there's a lot of sci-fi movies. I mean, it seems like any one of them could be correct. I try not to worry about tomorrow, but kind of think about, like, what action can I take now?

And I think the best action that we can take now as humans is not get comfortable. We've got to be learning. We've got to trying new things. We've got to testing the new technology, finding solutions to new problems, to try to remain relevant. you know if you're a 45-year-old corporate cog in a wheel you're in a very dangerous place because in five years your position could easily get laid off it's it's like in an office space where the bobs come in and they're like so what do you actually do here right there's going to be laying off people by the handful because they're because we're using AI to do so much we're paying you 80,000 a year and we just for 40,000 we just 40,000 a piece we can buy these. these robots to do your job but a lot of jobs you don't even need a physical robot it's like a call like if you're a call center you don't there's there's millions of people are in call centers now you don't actually need a call center you just have a you just have a server a GPU that's processing

all the calls yeah I understand dude right now Google Gemini has an AI toolbox I can open that up share my screen and just have it I could open up any software and say hey what do I do I do next and it'll say oh well it you click on the file tab and now drop down you don't need you can i can use a google basically what i'm saying here is i can use a screen share AI program it can walk me through any troubleshooting so what happens to that troubleshooting um call center or assistant you don't need them you don't need them anymore it's all it's all managed there so you just go on the website and it tells you what to do tells you what to do well i mean that's basically what i do with YouTube. Any time I have a problem now, I just go to YouTube and say, hey, you know, how do I do such and

such and it gives me 150 videos and I pick one of them and then I sit there with my phone and I, okay, and then I go here and then I hit a button and then pause. Wait, let me click, okay, play, okay, before you know it, boom, I'm got a new transition. Then I drop it into. With chat GBT, my kids don't even say Google it anymore. They say, let's ask chat GBT, and I can open up chat GBT. I can ask chat GPT a question. It can give me personalized responses to any sort of custom scenario or issue or challenge or problem so far by the way i'm 50% on chat gpt like it so far i get all kinds of erroneous bullshit and so and and i'll also get it will make stuff up it yeah completely make stuff up like i i i was researching so i've been

researching a book about a serial killer okay all right i won't get too too into it because it's no because it's insane. But it's a lot of fun. Anyway, the point is, is that I'm finding these...

or McGrittles with a hash brown and a small iced coffee for five bucks plus tax. Available until 11 a.m. at participating McDonald's restaurants. Price excludes flavored iced coffee and delivery. Date, I have to find dates.

Now, I was going through the website, where the national websites, name us and going to it and I would look it up and I'd go this date and then I'd type in the date and I'd the location like I'd actually look it up and find out how many people and I was doing it you know manually I also did it for cold case files right I'm looking for missing people and unsolved murders well you know I keep people keep saying oh you gotta go to chat GPD go to chat GPD well I've pulled up chat GPD before and I've done it like hey anybody missing in Austin, Texas on this day, any missing persons. And sometimes it'll say no,

or I'll say, you know, unsolved murder. And it might pull up some of them. And sometimes it'll pull it up close to the date, right, which is fine. But it, the thing is it gives me the source. I got this from three sources. I got, you know, ABC News, such and such news, Cole Case, okay, great. You can click on it, go to it. Well, yesterday, I was, looking for, I have very specific dates, right? So I need a date on this one date. And I looked up unsolved. And so I've done that before and I'm clicking on it. I'm still not getting good information, not as good as I can get going to the websites myself or going and looking it up and reading the thing. Takes a lot longer. I have to read the article. I have to figure out,

okay, this isn't the right person, this person, whatever. Chashi PT has not been great doing that. But the other day I went and I said on this day in, you know, in Los Angeles, California, you know, I need to find, you know, are there any missing person or any unsolved murders or unsolved, unsolved homicides on this date? and I clicked it and it came back and it said yes there was and it told me in the name of the person told me a whole little blurb about how they were murdered the whole thing shot boom just like a normal one that I've been looking up and I highlighted it and checked it and went to another one only this time I said instead of saying

homicide I said homicides plural and it came up with a double murder for another date. Oh, that's weird. And then I went, and I, instead, what I did is, I just changed the date. You know, you can cut and paste and change the date, and boom,

it came up with another double murder. And I went, now, granted, it's six months between these two dates. But I went, what are the chances that another double murder happened? Six months apart, in the same city, almost, it was a slightly different, different names, different ages, slightly different areas.

Did it again. Did you ask for a citation? By the third one is when I realized, hey, wait a minute. Because, you know, it keeps what you've been doing. So I start scrolling up, there's no citations. Yeah. And I'm looking, there's nothing. So, and then I took the information and I plug it in to Google.

Nothing. No murders. Yeah. Did all of them. It was making it up. It's realizing this is what you're looking for. I can't find it. I'll give you one.

I've definitely found that chat GPT AI, it wants to serve you. It wants to give you what you're looking for. And sometimes it will do that. But you did the right thing. Anytime you're asking for research, you have to ask for references and citations. Yeah, but you would think, right? By the way, I think that's going to get better over time. Listen, the other day, me and a buddy, this was actually two, three months ago, I said the other day.

Two, three months ago, we were arguing. I was like, no, no, no. And you know what we were talking about? He was saying, you know, he's always complaining about, you know, inequities. So he, you know, oh, well, you know, most rich people were born and they were just, you know, born with money. And I went, what do you mean? Like they inherited it? And he's like, yeah, I'm like, no, it's like less than like 20% of people inherit any wealth at all.

that are rich. Most of those people lose it. So most multi-millionaires inherited, probably less than 10% inherited their wealth. He's, oh, that's not true. That's not true. And then he asked Chat GPT. And it gave him an answer of like 50% of millionaires

inherited their wealth. And I went, now keep mind, I've already looked up the information a week or so earlier. And I went, no, that's not true. I just saw it. It's right here. It's right here. I said, bullshit. I went and looked it up on Google and found multiple statistics. And then he went back to chat GPT and said, hey, is this statistic correct? Is it less than 12% or 8% whatever I had said? And then it came back and it said,

yes, after reviewing the information and the percentage you have, I found multiple websites that say that this is the accurate information and that less than 12% of millionaires inherited any portion of their wealth. And it said, I am now up to, and then it said, I'd apologize for the inaccuracy earlier and said, this is the accurate result. And I was like, bro, you got to stop using this fucking thing. But you have to, listen, you have to verify. Well, that's true too.

It knows you. It knows what you want to hear. I don't want you to tell me what I want to hear. I will whisper sweet nothing's in your ear for sure. You see what I'm saying? And I think that's where I see AI and its current iteration is it's going to make a beginner proficient. Like if you're a beginner, if you know nothing about a topic, AI is going to bring you

up to speed pretty fast. You're going to be competitive in the marketplace. But if you're an expert in a field, if you really know your stuff, you're going to be able to easily find the mistakes to AI. So it's going to create, it's going to make a beginner proficient. an AI is going to make experts efficient because now you can move and say that doesn't line up that data doesn't line up let me that stat doesn't line up you can be able I know guys that are trying to write books with this thing and they're like oh yeah they wrote my whole book and I'm like well you must be an idiot because whenever I've had it write anything it's so vague and so bad at it and so it's like it's good for it's good for like outlining and list building right but you need to validate you need to do deal jillins but these guys don't their whole thing is they don't they don't they don't want to go back and do anything like that's that like they just wanted to write it and be done it's like okay well's not that good if you read it you know it doesn't make like what you're writing it it it sounds good but it's not it doesn't

give specifics it doesn't get create super creative everything is extremely vague you know yeah you can't write a book i think and this is something i i talk a lot about on my newsletter a i update dot a i quick plug um but if if you are better at prompting you can get better results you You know, but you've got to prompt and prompt and prompt. It gets to a point where I might as well written this thing. Yeah, sometimes you have to drill that. You're not going to get like an optimal response off your first prompt. It's one prompt.

And then you have to know, you have to understand how to kind of like continuously drill down on that, on that topic and drill down on those questions. But you can get some just amazing, incredible stuff doing that. But you're right. It'll make stuff up to make you happy to please you. So this is something that was kind of interesting. I recorded a video on my YouTube channel on the continuing resolution that was recently stripped down from 1,500 pages to, I think it was like 100 pages, something like that. There was this big bill omnibus.

They were passing the budget for next year. And it was a huge controversy because, you know, you're in Congress. You're like, I'm getting ready to go to bed. You get an email. Oh, by the way, you're voting on this tomorrow. You've got to read 1,500 pages. I ain't going to vote. They ain't going to read any of it.

Right. So the stance, what I said was, hey, what if I use ChatGPT to read this entire Omnibus package and continue to Resolution Packet and see if it can like... Give me the Cliff Notes. Exactly. Give me the Cliff Notes. And so I did that. Download to the PDF.

You can get it right from the government website. Uploaded it ChatGPT. I have the pro version. If you're not using Pro, that's probably worth the $20 a month. upload ChatGBTGPT, Reddit. And it started referencing certain pages of stuff that I might be concerned about. I was like, I don't want to spend money on this or that, whatever. And it said, okay, on page 36, you got to be wary of this.

So I go to page 36 and I said, I don't see anything on page 36 about what you're talking about. So, oh, yeah, sorry, I made a mistake. It's actually on page 157. And that's where the actual reference part was. So on the front, I don't know where it came up with page 36. I don't know why it got confused. But I read it. I'm like, okay, now let's go validate.

You have to validate. all this stuff um that being said i was able to quickly get to it but i did say give me the cliff notes reference the page number give me your citation give me an example and i was able to get get it from there i don't like it i don't like it at all well it when we're using it's a tool it's a tool you know it's a tool and the i think the more comfortable we are and the better we are at using it the more efficient we can be. But if, if your stance, it's the same thing with, with Twitter. If your stance with Twitter is I saw it on Twitter, it must be true. Yeah. Yeah, that's just silly. Yeah. You can look at something and say, okay, now let me check some trusted sources and

then I can validate whether or not something's true. Anytime I'm using chat GPT to do some sort of search or I'm always want the citation. I want to go to validate that that piece of data information is accurate. It's important. So what do you think, what do you think is going to happen with TikTok? An additional 90 days would at least give them an opportunity to try and sell it. You know, the parent, first of all that the company, all they have to do is get rid of China. All they got to do is get rid of China. You know, if they sell it to another company that comes in and, you know, if here, and here's the other thing, if there's, there's such an issue. issue. If TikTok has such an issue that they're saying, hey, this is unfair what you're doing,

right? Like, you can't do that. You can't make us do that. Like, first of all, one of the things they're saying is like, the China, China has nothing to do with this. Okay. Well, then sell it. If you have nothing to do with it and it's not a big deal and they have no influence, then they shouldn't have a problem selling it. Yeah, but do you think it's fair for the U.S. government to come in and say, you have to sell your company, have to divest in your company. There's a little bit of a freedom of speech problem there. I didn't have a, I was going to say, I don't have a, I didn't have a problem when they did it to, um, to Ma Bell.

I'd have a problem when they did. Would you rather have one company running all telecommunications? No, they broke it up, AT&T, they broke it up at all these different sprint. Like they've got all these different companies. Why? Because it's a monopoly. Well, it may not necessarily be a monopoly, but sometimes the government. has to come in and hey listen I made money on TikTok I hope so they just turned this

fucker back on but I'm saying I'm not in that position I'm not the position to make you know what I'm saying you don't have me you can't put something like me in a position of of power to make these determinations right so what I'm thinking is at some point somebody has determined that people in Congress have determined that they feel they don't like the fact that that China that China owns a portion or owns a portion of the parent company of TikTok. They don't like it. Bite dance. Right. They don't like it. They don't like the fact that they have access or could have access to the information that

TikTok can gather on American citizens. Now, you can make the argument, they don't do that. That's not possible. But honestly, I don't believe anything, anything that the Chinese government, the what, CCP? I don't, is it CCP? Yeah, Chinese Congress Party. I don't believe anything they say. So I don't believe anything that, like to me, I would just ban China altogether on taking their products and people would come out and say, people would come out and say, where are we going to get your chips? We're going to build them here.

Well, they're going to cost more. Well, then they'll cost more. I'm paying $1,000 for a cell phone now. We need to be manufacturing chips, United States. We need to be manufacturing all, everything that has military based or technology based. You want them to make T-shirts, that's fine. they can make t-shirts they can make plates they can make stuff that we don't need but we can't be going to war with a country and then going to them and asking them to provide the chips that run our

tanks like that's just stupid or hey you're going to take out our entire uh infrastructure our entire electrical grid could you send us over some power some generators and some like what are you stupid like the things that congress has allowed china or has allowed to be outsourced to china man these guys should be you know I don't want to say executed maybe but you know like it's it's just these are just stupid stupid selfish decisions that are clearly based on some kind of a bias or being paid off that you're allowing the China to manufacture things that we need to run our country and steal our technology yeah I always love the guys that were the wind the wind turbines did you ever hear the story, the wind turbine. So these guys were outsourcing the construction of the wind turbines

to make electrical power to China. And what China did was they stole the technology and they started manufacturing themselves and then they started selling to these guys' customers. And when they sued them and said, you're using our exact blueprints, China said, yeah, we disagree. And so they sued them. They won and they owe the Chinese government owes them or the Chinese company owes them, you know, half a billion dollars. And they said, yeah, we're not going to pay. Okay, you're not going to pay. And you're selling our technology to U.S. companies in the United States. Yeah. And they're like, yeah. And they go to the United States and they go, we've got a $500 million judgment against this company. And they're like, yeah, I know. There was, it would. Yeah, we'd, we'd,

disagree. Yeah. They're like, yeah, they're, and they're like, they're not paying us. Yeah. And you're allowing them to sell. The new Bimo, V.I. Porter MasterCard is your ticket to more. More perks.

To succeed in the future of work, forward thinkers use AI to deliver measurable

results. Workday is the AI platform for HR and finance that frees you from the mundane so you can focus on more meaningful work. Workday, moving business forever forward. This equipment and this technology to our customers in the United States and Congress just shrugged it off. Like, oh yeah, yeah. Like, you don't need to. You're not. taking care of Americans. Yeah, you don't need to sell me on the fact that, you know, the CCP in China has participated in unethical business practices, stealing of intellectual property, copyright, trademark infringement, all that.

Right. Right. So why not tell them you've got to sell? Either you can't function here. I don't think it's unreasonable. But what I do think is interesting, though, is Trump doing a 180 on this topic because this whole thing started I want to say in 2019

is they were starting to talk about this and just going forever, yeah. Yeah, and just over the last year is when the bill got passed, appealed, upheld by the Supreme Court, and now Trump is going to come back and saying, you know what, actually we like TikTok. I kind of wonder I think 90 days. I feel like

well, yeah, but I mean what's going to change in 90 days? CCP's going to say, you know what, you're right, we're going to, you know, we're going to sell it to Mr. Beast or whatever. you come in and somebody buys it that's what i think somebody comes in and buys it that that's what i think should happen someone comes in and but just like i don't think china or chinese companies should be able to buy it should be able to buy farmland in the united states i don't think they should

be able to buy any land what about this elon no i well that i don't disagree with either uh Elon had a hot take on twitter today where he he kind of said like he feels concerned about the infringement on free speech with forcing bite dance to divest from TikTok. But he also feels that it's unfair that we allow Chinese-owned corporations to function in the United States, whereas China does not allow U.S. own corporate. Because, like, you can't use X in China. You can't use X in China. You can't use it.

But we allow TikTok here. So he said it's not really a fair exchange. The other thing that's weird about TikTok is TikTok in China is very different from TikTok in the United States. TikTok in the United States is like I'm you know I'm a cat respect my pronouns TikTok in China is yeah exactly yeah this is high level math you know yeah you're not making fun of China in on a TikTok in on TikTok in China you know not making fun of you're not there's no political discussions there's no it's all about uplifting the Chinese people and like

you're there's not going to be a lot of funny videos unless they're um uh yeah i was going to say like like a um what coordinated you know dance moves and you know what i'm saying like it's it's a different it's a different platform over there i is it is just as another kind of quick hot take is a father i've got an eight year old and a five year old quite frankly i don't think so i think social i think social media should be illegal for you under 18 like you you know maybe 16 but you can't even use these platforms until you're 16 or 18 because it's complete it's a good you talk about siops it's like the ultimate siop and and you know the it's it's kind of funny you know now that i'm getting bigger into these online communities and influencer community i'm working with

big clients we're doing like million dollar deals stuff like that it's it's all high school it's all high school all people want when they're online is they want likes we want admiration you know and that that that drive is just a internal human drive to be to want to be liked and so I know that if I'm creating a if I know like a specific type of search term has a high volume and I know it's controversial and I know it'll get me likes you know I'll create content around that even if I don't necessarily agree with it and that's kind of the problem with TikTok and that's why I think why kids should not be allowed on social media because now they're not formulating their own ideas they're doing they're creating actions

they're wearing clothes, they're doing dances, they're making, they're making statements that might be that conflict with the way they really feel or act as a human just so that they can get likes, just so they can get the cheap likes. And it's, I don't know, I don't want my kids on social media, but I know, I was going to Panera bread the other day and I saw there were these two young girls

that maybe like 10, 12 years old, they set up their phone and they were doing, they were doing dances in their phone i was like man the the father here just abdicated his responsibility right and we have an entire generation that's growing up that way well um yeah i think i think trump giving them 90 days and so back to that because we're not this discussion's not gonna that's not gonna go it's gonna go in circles um well actually we'd probably have the same exact opinion so it's not gonna sure i agree so but but as far as the band is concern.

But why did Trump reverse course on this? That's, I think, is interesting. Because he was definitely a banned TikTok and now he's a don't ban TikTok. I think he's just saying 90 days. That doesn't mean I'm all for it. It's him saying, look, a lot of people make money on this app. Let's go ahead and give them another 90 days. This is a guy who's been through the court system many, many times and probably thinks,

hey, let's give them 90 days to finalize a deal. Like, you don't finalize a deal two weeks, you know, when you realize you've lost it. Like they went back and said, give us 90 days to the courts. And the courts were like, no. I mean, this bill was signed back in April. Right. But they fought it. Remember?

Right. The bill was signed. They went to, they used our court system, which we would never be able to use in there, right? So they said, oh, okay, we're going to use their court system. So they fight in our court system. when we say, the government, I'm sorry, the Supreme Court says, eh, they had, the Congress has every right to do that. They go, okay.

And then they came back and they said, okay, fine, we get it. Give us 90 days. And they said, no, we're not going to give you 90 days. So I guess, you know, Trump is saying, hey, let's give them 90 days. Probably not because I'm giving you an extension. 90 days is not a, hey, forget about that bill. 90 days is you got 90 days. You have to sell.

Like, I understand you used our court system. And then the last minute, they said, they ruled with Congress and said, perfectly legal. And that only gave you a few weeks to try and figure out what you're going to do. That's really not enough time for a bureaucracy. Bureaucracies are slow and cumbersome, especially when you. It's a big deal, too. I mean, it's got 170 million users. Yeah, this is not a small platform.

This is not a small deal. This is not something where Elon can come in. They can hammer it out over lunch. You know, this is something that they're going to need to really sit down. and it would be weeks, if not months of negotiations. So how would you feel about that Elon coming in and buying TikTok, buying the platform? I mean, I think that'd be, I think that'd be great if he came in and bought it. It makes me a little bit nervous.

Now that Mark Zuckerberg's suddenly decided that he's all about free speech. Oh, he's based. I always was about. I don't know. These guys, they pressured me that we didn't want to. In Zuck's defense, like I've never had the entire federal government. government jamming down my throat he's like he's a software nerd he's not like a visionary in the same way that Elon is you know yeah but here's what bothers me you've seen Elon go head to

head against the US government you know it's possible yeah nobody was threatening to throw you in jail but I think that's why Zuck is is coming out he's like oh actually Elon his act he's he's not a leader he's kind of he's following Elon's lead you know what I mean yeah maybe he's just doing it because it's popular now to be free speech, pro free speech. But I don't know. When you've got like the IRS, the FBI, you're getting hauled in front of Congress multiple times. Like I'm sure he was like, maybe I just need to play ball with these guys just so they

leave me alone. The problem with that mentality is they're coming for you. You can play ball all you want, but they're, you know. They'll find something if they want you. But I didn't see him do anything on, well, I guess when Elon Musk came in and grabbed X and started, you know, the problem. problem with Elon is that he's willing to scream from the mountain tops. He feels like something's being done that's, you know, immoral or unethical. And that scares them. And so they're kind of

going to leave him alone. But, but, you know, um, but Elon is, is, is, you know, it's kind of funny as a business owner, I think about like, why, why do we do what we do? And one of the things you see about Elon is every business that he's involved with has huge vision you know you look at x free speech the pretty big deal um space x let's become an interplanetary species um what's his internet satellite internet company like internet um for all star link right internet everywhere for everyone right um Tesla you know save save the planet and autonomous vehicles autonomous vehicles the robots the robots these things affordable and have him clean our houses yeah so everything he sees is so big i don't know that mark i don't know that zuckerberg's vision is that is that big

zuckerberg's vision is you know facebook face smash you know i i don't know his last good idea was um yeah um yeah well that's according to the movie he took it from the week of look it was it was It was his, oh, you're right. In the movie, he stole from the Winklevoss twins. No, no, and that was, and that was, yeah, I was going to say that the book is called Social Network, right? Yeah, it was, it was them, right? That's why it's claimed in the, in the movie and the book. Yeah.

And everything, you know, like Zuckerberg wouldn't, that being said, I've learned this in business that ideas are cheap. It's the execution that matters. I was that book syrup or I probably got this wrong but I think it was syrup where it said like everybody in their lifetime has it's like at least one or two multi-million dollar ideas. The problem is it's just it's hard. It's executing. Yeah. Well, it's people are lazy. You have to, you have to execute it. You have to push it. You have to stick with it. You have to, like it's a lot to get that to get something like that moving. Right. I was going to say even even then, you know, what was what was before Facebook? MySpace. You know, it's not like this a new. It was a new. It was a new. It was a new concept it was a slight alteration of an existing concept right existing platform so it was exclusive that crushed is my space even still around that's sad anyway dating ourselves but i remember my space this was yeah yeah so so yeah i think 90 give them 90 days they they figure out how to sell it off i don't know why you wouldn't sell it if they don't sell it off still banned probably that's too bad yeah probably boy people are going nuts though yeah you see all these people crying on

instagram yeah yeah people are having withdraws you know people they're they're they're talking about the ones i saw were like like this is how i make my living sure like i'm because this is my entire living is but listen tom simon is a retired FBI agent that is now a licensed private investigator in Florida. I see him all the time. He's been on the show a bunch of times. I see him all the time on Instagram, right? But the other day, he was like, what do you think about the TikTok thing? I was like, yeah, I mean, we make decent money on TikTok. Like, I would hate to see that go away. But, you know, who knows? And I said, why? Because I wasn't even thinking. And he was like, because I get the bulk of my clients from TikTok. And I was like, oh, like, I only see him

I really don't go on TikTok except to check my account. Yeah. I like the content that is on Instagram and YouTube better than TikTok. For some reason, it seems very negative. My TikTok, whatever I've done to myself, is really just messed me up. Like, it's very negative. Like, I get a lot of negative political ads on TikTok. So I don't typically go on there other than to check my account.

Yeah. myself. So, but apparently he's huge on TikTok. And he was like, yeah, that's the bulk of my clients come from my TikTok. And so I was on Instagram this morning. People are already leaving videos like, oh my God. Like, you don't understand. This is my entire. Like I, this is my job. Like, I make all of my money. So tons of influencers are coming out saying like, what's happening? Like, so it's devastating to a lot of people well and and i don't want to sound callous callous fuck them uh yeah what i do think is that you know sometimes you win sometimes you learn but um it's i think it is important to recognize that if you're making let's say 90% of your

income from one source as an is an influencer or an online um as a digital business owner online business. You're exposed. If you're relying solely on TikTok or solely on YouTube, like I'm not saying you don't have income there, but you need to have other, you need to have other avenues of reaching your audience, you know, your friend, he probably needs to have an email list. He needs to be driving the lead mag, needs to be engaging via newsletter, probably needs an Instagram. And I realized, by the way, that it's hard to be great at everything, but we need to have multiple verticals. We have, we need to have multiple ways of reaching our audience.

I hope they sell it. I hope they just sell it and fix the problem and sell it. Like, honestly, that's what I hope happens so that everybody can get, you know, get their income back and people that enjoy it can go back to it. And, you know, that's what I hope happens. It definitely sends shockwaves. I mean, most of my clients were really focused on YouTube. And now a lot of people that were on TikTok are going to come over to YouTube.

And so that impacts their viewership. That impacts the amount of like to me that might, it may be. if it stayed closed, it may be a huge boost to me, right? Because we have, we have shorts. We have a shorts channel. But I mean, that's one of the problems, I think, with any sort of government regulation is it might seem good in this case. Like the Patriot Act after 9-11, like, all right, cool. We need to mass surveillance is necessary because we need to protect ourselves from terrorists.

But there's no, you're not putting the genie back in the bottle on that one, do you know? Yeah, Congress never passes any laws to say, eh, you know what? This is excessive. This is actually, actually, for me, the last voting, the last election, that was the most important, that was the most important topic to me for me was how do we reduce the size, the scope, the spending? This might be the only chance in our lifetime to ever get someone like an Elon who can go in there with Doge and say, hey, we're going to start gutting government spending and reducing expenditure. Can you imagine if they wouldn't just start gutting? I mean, there are so many, like it, I, okay, like, the, like, I love that Trump, like the, the, the, the, the ATF. Alcohol is legal.

Tobacco's legal. Firearms are legal. Why do we have an ATF? Like, honestly, the laws that they're enforcing can be enforced by any local sheriff. Sure. We don't need stings and all these things. Any local sheriff's department. can enforce like that whole that whole group can be wipe them off well and because what happens

with government agencies is they they they they they have an allocated budget for the year let's say it's i don't know 25 million dollars for this 25 million dollars allocated to our budget for this year you have to spend that money yeah if you don't spend all the money in that year let's say you only spend 20 out of the 25 million next year when it comes time to allocate more budget they say oh well you only need a 20 last year so we're only going to allocate 20 you just lost cost $5 million. So they just said, they only grow. They only grow.

Right. They only grow. No agency is going to say, you know what? We can be more cost effective. We really don't need 6,500 agents. We could scale this back and do this same thing with 2,200. Yeah, they bloat. And this is not just a government problem.

It's any organization. Businesses go through this too. You have the innovators who innovate. They put systems in place. And then the bureaucrats come in. And they say, well, when you put regulations, we need to slow it down. And then before you know it, there's a sea of bloat. And I mean, I'm, I'm excited about the future.

I think I don't know that we've ever seen this type of opportunity to, to try to reduce the size and scope of these massive spending organizations. We're just going to, we're spending ourselves into oblivion. Yeah. You know, there needs, so that's kind of exciting. But I'm always, I'm at the same time, I, the idea of having, like someone like Elon, for example love what he did with X but what if he took over TikTok and then he's got TikTok and then you know too much power accumulated around one person is Facebook has

Instagram and Facebook right well and and WhatsApp and meta right well you got Google telegram owns YouTube right right like I mean a lot of these these guys I think that you you get to a point where they own too much and have too much control and then I think the government comes in it says you've got a monopoly here and breaks them apart Yeah, which I have no problem with that, you know, people that, you know, oh, that's unfit. No, that's perfectly fair. Like, look, if you give people a monopoly, then, then they will absolutely gouge the living hell out of you. Like, nobody is taking over all of these, these companies and then deciding to do something for the greater good. Like, that's just doesn't, that's not happening.

That's not how they function. They functioned by making all of their board of directors happy and all the people that have invested in them happy. And those people complain, why aren't we making more money? But how do I make you more money? I provide less of a service and I charge you more for it. And if I don't have any competition, then the gloves are off. I can gouge the living hell out of my customer base. And there's nobody to come forward and say, hey, we're going to rival you. And that's why you have to have a government that can come in and say, listen, you know, and people don't It's checks and balances. Yeah. Well, more than the checks and balances. It's, it's, It's checks and balances, but with teeth.

Like, nobody remembers that the telecommunication industry was run by one massive company at one point. And the government came in and said, we're going to, you have to sell off your company. You have to break your company off into four or five different companies. Yeah. And people went, that's on American. You can't. No. No, you're taking, you're charging people outrageous.

People's phone bills are two, 300 bucks every single. single month. It's outrageous. It doesn't cost you that much to call from California to Florida. Yeah. It just doesn't cost that. It doesn't cost you $300. You can create the same. And guess what? Right now, it doesn't cost me anything to cost somebody in California or, and back then when they broke it apart, suddenly they broke that company apart. And within six months, these $300, $350 phone bills for electric, or for a long distance were dropped down to $80.70. But what, what happened? What happened? Competition.

Yeah, that's what happened. There's nothing wrong with it. Same thing with the railroads. They had to break the railroads apart. You have to break the oil companies apart. You cannot allow anybody to consolidate too much power or they will take advantage of it. Because 100%, the truth is, is that absolute power corrupts absolutely. There's just no doubt.

It's not a new thing. And it's not going to change. Oh, well, people are better people now. No, they're not. No, people are the same. By the way, this is something that, that really, is something that really bothers me when I hear young people say, well, I can't have kids because the world is too screwed up. I think that is the biggest cop out. Just admit it. You're scared. You're

scared to have kids. You're afraid of the responsibility. You want to just drop dopamine on your phone all a day. Like that is, I think, the biggest cop out. People, to your point, are the same now as we were 10 years, 100 years, a thousand years ago. We're still the same. We're still selfish human beings that want what we want all the time right now. It just so happens now because of technology and phones and whatnot that we can actually get what we want all the time wherever we are. And it's it's almost a problem because no it the phone's a problem because because 17, 18, 19, 20 year old kids look at the phone and they think that everybody everybody has a Ferrari and everybody can go on vacation for two weeks and everybody. And everybody

has their own they think oh i can't do i should have all these things i can't things are horrible for me because i'm not making any money and and things are so hard and and these are the things i want but the truth is but they don't want to work to get it and you don't have to work to get it right like you don't have to go out and bust your ass and work to buy a nice car to feel good about yourself i can lay in bed and just look at ticot and i get the same sensation as i do working right for a year and a half and saving all my money to buy put a put money down on a new home or buy a vehicle they get the same enjoyment playing video games you don't have to work hard you can get that just lying in bed now granted you don't end up having a girlfriend a wife

you don't end up having kids you don't have purpose you have no purpose because you can get that same feeling by slaying in your bed and you feel like it's unfair it's unfair because all these people have money and I have nothing. And honestly, I don't even like necessarily to throw shade at Gen Z, which not necessarily saying that you are, but a lot of people will make comments like, oh, kids these days, they don't get it. And, but, you know, when I go to the playground, for example, with my kids, all the adults there, every single one of them is always glued to their phone. They're not actually being present there, spending time with their kid, right? It's not just a young person issue. It's a, it's a human issue.

And, you know, it is interesting. We're the last generation that grew up without the Internet, you know, because when I grew up, there was no Internet. We had an, I remember getting a Nintendo, an N-E-S, and playing Duck Hunt and stuff. I had Atari. I played Pong. Which was cool, but you were like, all right, no, it was cool. I'm going to go outside and play. Cool for a little bit.

But now the Internet, it's just kind of interesting. And our kids, my kids are probably going to be the last generation to grow up without robots walking around and so we just things are moving things are moving super fast it's I think those robots get out of control I think we take them out well that's what will happen Elon said the other day that there's a 20% chance that AI destroys humanity but it's probably still worth pursuing I was like that's funny I don't like those eyes yeah I don't feel like he's pretty probably he's probably just being tongue and cheek about it you know, but, yeah, that was, let's help.

Let's hope. Yeah, I don't know about you, but all the, these kids now, or they don't want to work. Like, it really does seem like that. I don't know if it seems like that to you, but all the ones I know, like, they don't want to work. They just don't. You know, Americans are going to be in for a rough surprise here in the next five years because it's easier to outsource overseas, almost all my teams working overseas. Some of them are expatriates

that are in the military but almost all my employees are overseas we're using AI to enhance their efficiency all over the place and Americans aren't ready they're not ready to see robotics, AI and

outsourcing take over all these roles but it's happening it's going to happen but in this I think at least you know you talk about mission and vision is really you know

What I'm trying to do from a mission standpoint is trying to encourage people, you know, it's all doom and gloom, test the chat GPT, trust but verify, leverage these new tools, experiment with new things, hire a virtual assistant. Like, do what you got to do to stay relevant because things are going to move fast. Now is the worst, the most risky thing you can do right now, I think, is be comfortable in the job that you have. That is the most risky thing you can do because things are going to move quick. And you could very easily become obsolete.

if you're not evolving. Not going to sound of that at all. Got aval. Not you? No, we're going to get a compound. We're going to go, even if I have to live in a double white, we're going to go, we're going to go get two, three acres and build a big block wall around it and buy some solar panels and live in a double wide if that's what we got to do.

Grow up, grow our own food, scavenge. There you go. It's like a zombie apocalypse. Absolutely. There's a good chance in a lot of these sci-fi movies. They're out there like I-Robot. The Matrix even, like those might actually turn out to be reality at some point. I-Robot particularly, or Ready Player 1, you know, all these movies.

Yeah, Ready Player 1, okay, because they were still living in squalor. I-Robot. Everything was pristine and new and crisp and beautiful. Yeah, no, no. And everybody seemed like they had, they still, actually, I got to watch that movie. I read the book. Ready Player 1? No.

or i robot robot yeah did you ever read the book i didn't i didn't listen let me let me tell you about the book it's and i'm probably got the page wrong page count wrong let's say it's 600 pages it's fucking outrageously wow do you know how much of that book deals with the robot revolution so the book is actually so you know the female uh lead in the book which is uh she's a um a robot like psychiatrists right psychologist something whatever um

so the book is actually an interview when she's like a hundred and fifty years old and it's an interview with her because she had been raised by a robot one of the first nanny robots that's why she in the book is very like i don't like you know what i'm saying she's very yeah she's very robotic yeah you realize in the real in the book she was raised by one

of these things. Interesting. But not like, it wasn't like that back then. They were very blocky, whatever. So, um, she was raised by wealthy family who had the first robot nannies, and she was raised by a nanny. And because she felt very comfortable around them, she became a robot psychologist or whatever you want to call behavior, psychologist, whatever, behaviorless, whatever she is. But she ends up being, let's say, 150 years old. And she's, she is being interviewed by a reporter, which I'm pretty sure is probably was a human, but now I think about it, maybe it was a robot, but it was a human, so let's say a human, and she's talking about the advancement. The book's horrible, by the way, extremely boring.

It sounds as boring as it's as it's as boring as it's as it's as boring as it's as it's, it's a massive book. And during that book, there was one, two or three pages where she talks about the robot revolution or you know um revolution or whatever you want to call it uprising i think uprising robot uprising that happened in the year 21 50 or whatever year it was and it's it's only talked about for a few pages they took those pages and said let's run with it she talks about She talks about these different people and some of the people you recognize that they were in the movie.

She talks about the main guy who was the founder of this new version of robots and she, all of that, but really it boils down to just one or two pages where she has this discussion. That's what they turned into the movie.

Like all the stuff that happens in that movie, none of it's in the book except for this one, just a discussion about it. And as a result of that, they end up saying that robots cannot exist I think on the planet Earth

and she talks about the three laws that's who that book I wrote that's the guy that wrote that book is the person that that's when those the three laws were first invented in the book right so right you cannot hurt a human cannot my mission of action harm

a human and you cannot whatever it's like one of them was like something else anyway and she listen she talks about it it's very, very, I hate to use the word heady, but it's very, I say, analytical, where there's all tons of discussions where she talks about the different versions of robots. And at one point, the robots, for instance, there were humans. This was like when the, when they're on

like Mars or somewhere. Oh, no, they weren't on Mars. It had something to do with radiation. I'm like there were humans that were going into an area that had radiation in it but it was it was reasonable does that make sense like it was it was we're getting exposed to radiation right we have radiation from the sun every day correct correct so it wasn't that big of a deal what what happens is these humans are going into a room let's say it's a for the sake of argument a nuclear power plant and they're going into a certain area where they have to do things and they get they get a certain they get a dose of radiation that's higher than normal, but it's acceptable, right? Like, I can go in here, and when I come back out, it's fine.

It's not going to kill me, but it's probably higher than I should be getting, right? Like, like maybe working in a radiology lab or something, right? Sure. What happens is because of the three laws, the robots kept stopping people from going in there. And they were saying, and they didn't understand it, they simply refused to let them go in. And they eventually, after they reworked the computer program, they realized that they were determining that if a person went in there, they were being damaged. And if they repeatedly went in there, they would be damaged over the long term. And it would possibly give them a higher probability of having cancer in the future.

And they said, that was too much. Like, you can't stop me from getting in my car to drive to work because there's a chance you could be harmed. Any action is at risk Right, and so they had to rewrite the progress sheet And listen, and this is something that takes place over This is like 10 pages, 15 pages Well, they have all these different discussions As they figure out what the problem was

And eventually come to the conclusion Of this is why we had to redo this And we had to change the laws And it was just like, dear, the whole book is like that It's horrible. But it's a fascinating thought exercise It is. And I'm, you know, the idea of having robots

That can make my life so much easier is a no-brainer, I think. And obviously, there's going to be challenges associated with it, but it's going to happen. It's going to make our lives a lot better. And I think the more equipped and more open and the more curious we are to take advantage of these opportunities, the more successful we're going to be. And we will find purpose. So that's, again, what I'm really working on is trying to help people get on board and enjoy

this stuff. Your glasses half full. You know, your glasses, yeah, half full kind of guy. Yeah, exactly, that's right. You're a glass. Yeah, I'm cautiously optimistic. I mean, it doesn't serve me to worry about the end of the world because, you know, we talk about humans being the same. It's always been the end of the world.

There's always been someone saying the end is nigh. There's certainly some major risks involved with robots, but I'm here for it. I'm excited about it. I think it's going to make our lives a lot better, you know. that's what I think but I do also think that probably within the next 10 years you're going to rather have an

EMP gun than you are a like a 9mm or 45 you're going to want to have an EMP on site you can't have a gun at all I'm a feeling no you know the second I you know I'm I'm a second amendment

guy so I would say that's probably not fair but you know I'm nonviolent I'm harmless anyway all right how have we been doing this? Oh, for God's sakes. It's ridiculous. There's got to be something better on Netflix. Well, we're preparing people for the next phase of humanity, so I feel good about it. I feel good

about being here and jamming. Well, the problem is that the people have watched this channel the whole time away, been waiting for you to talk about your crime. And that never happened.

And by the way, Mark has a channel. He's got all of the social media platform things. So we're going to put all those links in the description box. So you can click on there, go there, check out his channel. He talks about AI and robots and all kinds of stuff like that.

So check those out. Also, I appreciate it. Please consider joining my Patreon and subscribe to the Matt Cox clips channel. We're going to put the link in the description box, too, for the clips channel and for the shorts channel, but the clips channel needs help. It's dying. All right, thank you very much.
