Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to aboard Via Rai. Embarked and profite. Embarque and celebrate. Rigolet. Publiere. Savoy. Admirate.
Starting point is 00:00:11 And profite. Villaray, the voice we love that we love. A great program today you don't want to miss. We start with Juneteenth. Yay! I mean, I've already decorated the house. But we give you a perspective,
Starting point is 00:00:25 a historic perspective of what America's really really. all about and what why is it that Thomas Jefferson just couldn't see that all men are created equal we put that one to rest forever um also we're talking more about the monkey pox and the WHO and everything else that's crazy it's going there also the Washington Post had an op-ed out today that talked about what voters are going to get if you vote for gas I mean you got to be really careful those evil, evil Republicans are coming. And useless people.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Probably one of the more important parts of the podcast that we've done in a very long time. Yval Harari on useless people and what to do with all of them in the coming years shortly ahead. All that and more on today's podcast. Goldline, look, if you are paying attention at all, I mean, look at Bitcoin's down, well, it was earlier this morning, to about 17,000 off of the high of 65. If you look at the stock market, S&P is probably going to go down to about 3,300, 3,400, 3,500. That's frightening. Don't have all of your money and all of your chips on one table.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Spread it around. Please call Goldline today. They have a special this week on very hard to find one-tenth-ounce gold American Eagles. This is something that is small enough that you could actually use in times of real unrest. With every coin purchase, you're going to receive five of the Mind Your Business silver bars at no cost. This is worth looking into and asking for all of the information. You're smart enough. Do your own homework.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Don't put everything into one thing. Spread it around. Please call Goldline now. 866 Goldline, 866 Goldline or Goldline.com. You're listening to the best of the blend. Report today. Let me just give you some highlights. The WHO now says that those lockdowns created really bad mental health issues. Depression increased by 25% globally just in the first year. So depression, suicides, apparently.
Starting point is 00:03:07 some of that was caused by those lockdowns. Who would have seen that coming? Also, according to the Daily Mail, a British newspaper, the Marxist president of the World Health Organization has just come out not publicly, not publicly, but he has been telling now elected official, elected government officials, top elected officials in Europe,
Starting point is 00:03:36 that the most, the most likely origin of COVID unfortunately probably came from a leak in the Wuhan lab and he said that's the most likely
Starting point is 00:03:54 explanation and who would have seen that coming. Now I think he's not saying this publicly because he might get kicked off of Twitter for the conspiracy theory. On both of those really, and they really, really need their credibility right now. The CDC is working with the WHO.
Starting point is 00:04:16 I don't know if you've seen this, but the CDC has just come out with guidelines to be able to you have safe sex and avoid monkey pox. And now, see, I am a doctor. I was going to say I'm not a doctor, but I am a doctor. But I'll talk slowly for Pat and,
Starting point is 00:04:37 Stu. Pat Gray just joins us from Pat Gray Unleashed. And I'll talk slowly so you guys can understand. They said the CDC, they said whatever you do, if you want to have sex
Starting point is 00:04:55 and you're worried about monkey pox, have sex while fully clothed. Okay. Now, I don't know how that works. I mean, that's what Pat would say. I, of course, as a doctor, understand that. But they also said, wash your hands and your fetish gear, who doesn't have a lot of that, and your clothes immediately after having sex virtually.
Starting point is 00:05:27 That's weird. They said stay six feet apart from one another. Probably once a week. Once a week at least. right right well do you use it more than once a week well of course because you should do it after every oh oh every time all right yeah every time or you could get the monkey pox now see as a doctor but i haven't been to school for that doctor stuff in a while so i'm probably a little out of touch i think ooh that nasty sore on you i'm no longer thinking i'm hot for sex with you
Starting point is 00:06:05 you know, when in doubt, leave it out is a good one. This is one of the interesting parts about this advice is it's not about having sex with, if you happen to be at risk of monkey pox or like you think monkeypox is around and you want to have sex and do it as safely as possible. It's when you actively want to have sex with someone who currently has monkey pox. Like you know they have it and you still want to have sex with them. I just feel like the demand part of that equation is got to be pretty low. Like, you know, like just having sex with someone specifically who has Monkey Box actively just seems odd. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I mean, I know Playboy used to have their, you know, playmate turn-ons, turn-offs. And I can't tell you how many times people have seen, you know, one of my turn-ons, monkeypox. Really? Big open, weepy sores. It just turns those. Turns those ladies on. So good for you, ladies, good for you. I mean, not that anything weird is happening in our society at all.
Starting point is 00:07:15 By the way, Jurassic World Three is still number one. Buzz Lightyear, and I love the reviews. They couldn't figure out why it did so poorly at the box office. You know, it might be that people don't like grooming with their kids. Yeah. And there's a whole They just talked about the The kiss, the same-sex kiss
Starting point is 00:07:40 It goes beyond that I mean there's the same-sex marriage There's You see their relationship progress I guess my daughter and her family went And the kids liked it But the parents not so much And you can tell why
Starting point is 00:07:55 A lot of people stay away from the movie Mm-hmm Mm-hmm Yeah Is that because of your bigoted hatred for anything that is different, Pat? That's what it is. That's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:08:10 You guessed it. By the way, I wanted to find out when you're coming back to town because I'm hosting our annual drag queen party at my house in August. Really? Yeah, yeah. Everybody's doing it. The kids, of course, especially are invited. The younger, the better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And the younger, the better. Yeah. We're looking for two-year-olds, one and two-year-olds, toddlers that can be brought into the drag queen scene. Right. Can we come in drag or do you just? Oh, I prefer that. Yes, please. Yeah, please come in drag.
Starting point is 00:08:54 You'll come in drag too, Stu? Obviously, you're invited. Well, as you noted, I will be getting much of my both drag queen gear and fetish gear. cleaned. Oh, wow. So it's just a matter of the timing on that, Pat. I'm concerned. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:09 All right. Well, you can start now and, you know, you want to stay very dirty. It's very dirty. You want to stay safe when you're using, it takes weeks. When you're, when you're using whips and things that are jammed into orifices,
Starting point is 00:09:24 you know, you want to be safe medically. You really do. I think that's good. I really do. Right. Hey, in a completely unrelated article of, A Florida Sheriff's Department said it arrested a Disney employee as part of a larger sting in which it nabbed a dozen suspects in a child sex crackdown.
Starting point is 00:09:47 So I don't want to, I don't want to harp on this. I mean, hey, who are we to judge this Disney employee for wanting to have sex with a 15-year-old? You know what I mean? I'm not here to judge. I'm just saying you're going to, what is it, a millstone around your neck or something? or something. But I I don't want to judge. May I make a prediction, however.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Disney is going to become a predator to our children. I mean, already we know what they're doing indoctrinating, but I I'll bet you you're going to see more and more child crimes happening from Disney employees. I hope I'm wrong on that. I hope I'm
Starting point is 00:10:33 wrong. But there seems to be a really crazy thing going on where sky's the limit on anything. And if you think that you're going to separate the pedophiles from everybody else who says, you know, I can be a chicken and you have to call me a chicken, I mean, I think that's a scene that maybe pedophiles might flourish in. Just saying. Yeah, that's a positive. possible. I would think even, uh, even likely, perhaps. Totally unrelated to your drag queen. Completely unrelated. Okay. Good. Yeah. Nothing to do with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is for normal drag queen people. Um, um, I don't know if you saw this, but could we have, uh, the cut
Starting point is 00:11:22 of the bird and the environment? There's a bird that is now teaching us all about the environment. And I want you to see the clip and, and Pat, if you can, describe it. Uh, This is an environmental warning. Okay. Looks like a drag queen person and a bird. From the National Autobotum Society, obviously. You're number one source for drag queen. And then she rises up.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Oh, or he, and he's got wings like the bird does. This is really very artistic. and in the songs they no longer. So, yes, he continues to. She's beautiful. Act as a bird. And the bird and the direct queen are both beautiful.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Yes. The birds tell us that global warming is here and there's trouble. And I embrace the fact that he is a, now a woman bird. But I just want to show you another clip in completely unrelated. Do you remember the show Kids of the Hall? Yeah. Yeah. Let me just go back in the time tunnel. Again,
Starting point is 00:12:43 completely unrelated. Let me show you a comedy skit from Kids in the Hall about a decade ago. It's me, Max Davis. I answered your ad in the personals. We have a date tonight. Oh, yeah? Are you my date?
Starting point is 00:13:07 Yes, I am. These are a couple walking out from next door and they see The doors open. I said it was Max. Oh, yeah. Come on in, Max. No. He's dressed as a chicken.
Starting point is 00:13:33 So you're, uh, not from Toronto? Well, what are you? A chicken lady. Oh, yeah. My personal line. Chicken lady loves life. Gee, I never took that literally.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I never really. I never really took chicken lady literally. So, so stop. this goes on, you can find it on YouTube. It's fantastic. But aren't we living in a world where a woman or a man can be dressed as a woman and call himself a chicken lady? And we all have to accept it. Yes. It would be hateful, right? For that, for him not to want to come in, for the neighbors to be horrified by the possibility of this guy's date, for him not to be into it, I think is hateful now, which is really fascinating in so many ways.
Starting point is 00:14:47 It is. We are, if you recognize your country, raise your hand. I mean, I don't recognize anything in our, in our nation anymore, except for good friends like Pat Gray and the other guy who was on the show with me too. Thanks. That's nice of you. Pat Gray. Pet Gray unleashed.
Starting point is 00:15:12 You can find it everywhere, wherever you get your podcast, or you can listen to it prior to this program on Blaze TV. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program, and we really want to thank you for listening. Can we have a chat here for a second? Something I think we really need to think about.
Starting point is 00:15:43 If you were born in the 2000s, you're one of the people I want to command right now for your resilience. You have grown up in a time of war you've never seen our country, not at war. Your parents and teachers probably taught you about 9-11, while at the same time you no doubt heard the battle damage assessment numbers and those killed in action reports on the evening news and conversations on the dinner table and from your teachers. Afghanistan then turned into Iraq, then back to Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Afghanistan, then back to Iraq, rinse, repeat for 20 years. You were probably in elementary school or junior high when faith and trust on a systematic level began to rapidly dissolve. The financial system crashed in 2008, and do we even know? Yeah, I mean, we do, but officially, who is to blame on that one? Can you even trust the bank? Is the Fed and the government for us or against us in that? Could you lose your home? Were your mom and dad fighting all the time because of the stress of what happened in 2008?
Starting point is 00:17:05 We asked all of these questions. And in the aftermath, the mass protests, the Occupy Wall Street that you probably don't remember, everybody decided, I guess it's the fault of those giant corporations. It was yet more doubt thrown on to institutions we at least have some faith and trust in, because they would, at one point, do the right thing or be held responsible if they didn't. You've seen your church come under attack.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Your faith. Suddenly, the religious values that, you know, you may have grown up with, listened to in Sunday school, are now being called bigoted. You've witnessed race, race riots, cops, firefighters being demonized, local businesses burned to the ground, people may have been killed in your hometowns, politicians and media, appeared to drink it all in like a cold beer on a hot day. You've been brought up in an era where war was declared on American faith,
Starting point is 00:18:18 hope, trust, pride, history. I don't even think you probably even know our history. And yet, here you are right now, listening to this program. Good for you. Good for you. For people my age, it is really, I can't imagine being your age. I can't imagine it. I grew up in a completely different America.
Starting point is 00:18:52 It makes me sad you'll never know summer like we did, that you'll never, most likely you have not participated in a baseball game or a football game that wasn't organized or a soccer game that adults weren't telling you when and where to play. You probably have never just gone out with your friends and just started a game in some abandoned field or some park just to play for yourself, and you make up the rules,
Starting point is 00:19:24 and you decide what's right and wrong. You solve the arguments. Times were different. Less people locked their doors. That's what I like about, place I live up in Idaho. It's much more like it was when I was growing up. It's just simpler, quieter.
Starting point is 00:19:52 You know your neighbors. Everybody waves to each other as they pass each other in the cars. You can rely on one another. Parades were more common. And no one expected an anti-American rioter to come in and spoil the day. We loved our country, although we didn't think our country was flawless. If you join the military, it was called joining the service, because that's how it was viewed. It was service. Now it seems like nobody sends their kids to service
Starting point is 00:20:27 if they're rich. It's a way to get out of poverty. It's a way to get a free education. It's not about service. By large, opinions were debated. Today, opinions are used as an excuse for violence. You know, we could see Marxist and Milton Friedman or Thomas Sol on television debating Marxists at universities or on Oprah. And it was done where everybody walked away in the end and shook each other's hand and said, I respect you. I disagree, but I really respect you. That doesn't happen. It's certainly probably not happened in your schools. If you grow up in the 2000s, man, everything is. gone sideways rapidly.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Who was running the country during the 2008 financial crisis, the recovery, Occupy Wall Street, the beginning of Black Lives Matter. No one calls it out, but it was Barack Obama. Everything began to spiral out of control and the America that we used to know became unrecognizable. Now, it's not his fault, all of it at least. He put the pedal down and he accelerated things. But this has been in the plans for a long time. And America wanted hope and change. We wanted change.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I wanted change. All of us wanted change from what was happening, you know, with the Bush administration. The government was seemingly getting too big. Nobody was being held responsible. We wanted transparency. That's what we meant by change. But that's not what we got. And we know that because Michelle Obama talked about it on May 14, 2008.
Starting point is 00:22:21 She was immediately pulled from the campaign trail after this speech. But I want you to hear it one more time. And Barack knows that we are going to have to sacrifice. We are going to have to change our conversation. We're going to have to change our traditions, our history. We're going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future that we all want desperately for our children. and he is the man to do it. So in America, in America, we used to agree on the future.
Starting point is 00:22:53 We saw certain things as self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator. And I know that might sound like hogwash to you, but it's a mission statement. It's not something that we did. It's something that we were trying to strive for. And as you will learn as you grow older, you make a ton of mistakes in life. and a country does as well. And the idea is to learn from those mistakes, but you have to have history
Starting point is 00:23:21 and you have to know what really happened to be able to correct those mistakes. Otherwise, you're going to make them over and over and over again, and I fear we're doing a lot of that. But let me take this line by line if I can, or at least as much as I can today. She just said, we're going to have to make sacrifices. Have we made sacrifices?
Starting point is 00:23:42 Well, we've made sacrifices of our time. I can't imagine. I mean, I just can't get over how much time we spend arguing about stupid stuff right now. How much time we have spent in politics, politics, especially national politics, it shouldn't be really hardly even on our radar. It should all be local politics, but we don't pay attention to that. So many people, maybe your parents have saccharacterial. their dreams and their job. Small businesses, they sacrificed because of COVID. Home Depot could stay open, but not the locally owned Ace Hardware store. We've sacrificed our liberties in exchange for the collective.
Starting point is 00:24:31 We have made a sacrifice of our honor in Afghanistan. We've sacrificed our place in the world, our credibility. Our credibility, really, with our own allies, we have sacrificed. And we are certainly sacrificing right now our relationship with anyone who holds the dollar as a reserve currency. In many ways, we've sacrificed you, the 20-something, in the last 15 or 20 years, to some sort of social experiment, not only with, you know, drag queen's story hour and everything else, that we have no idea other than history.
Starting point is 00:25:11 we have no idea of how that's going to turn out, what kind of mark these things will leave good or bad. We don't know. Never been done before. But we've also socially experimented on you with technology. We've sacrificed our safety on the streets from mobs, BLM and TFA, January 6th. The shootings every day in Chicago nobody seems to care about. We've sacrificed our way of life.
Starting point is 00:25:43 We've sacrificed our medicines and so many things. And this didn't start with Obama. It started with the globalist, the idea that, you know, trade is unlimited. And we can just be consumers and not makers. Now, that just seems wrong intuitively. But when we start to hit shortages like medicine, we really see how stupid it is. but we have sacrificed our common sense because are we doing anything about these things? We've sacrificed our doctors.
Starting point is 00:26:21 We were told we could keep our doctors, but many of us lost our doctors. We've lost the scientific method. We have lost and sacrificed debate and critical thinking. And the search for evidence. We have sacrificed an awful. lot. And it's all called the new normal, all those things that we've sacrificed. We're now sacrificing, we're going to sacrifice millions of people that will most likely starve to death in the next two years. Why? For political reasons. That's really all it is. We're going to sacrifice people's
Starting point is 00:27:13 lives and we are going to forever change the lives of people here in America. And it's, It's just going to be called the new normal. Michelle then went on to say, you know, we're going to have to change our conversation. I didn't know what she meant was change the rules of conversations. Basically, you can't have a conversation. Any kind of spoken or written word now has to go through the woke filter. It's where we lose and sacrifice many of our freedoms and liberties. You want to make a public statement about a Snickers bar.
Starting point is 00:27:51 you better craft it in a way that checks off all the intersectional feminist and LGBT boxes. You, because you're in your 20s, may not understand how important freedom of thought and real diversity is. That's the diversity of thought. You cannot make progress without benchmarks that can be measured, which is the scientific method. And you'll never make progress unless people are comfortable to say, that's a stupid idea. Well, I disagree with you on that. And you have it out. And most times, you'll find that both sides have a point. Not all the time, but many times.
Starting point is 00:28:32 And just by arguing, you're like, oh, my gosh, I see why you're thinking that. Oh, I understand you now. It's still wrong. But at least I understand. Let me explain it this way. We can't talk like that anymore. telling the truth is now a dangerous taboo. George Orwell once wrote,
Starting point is 00:28:59 during times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act, and that's where we are. The church, her teachings, the sacraments, now been labeled bigoted, are deep religious founding as a country
Starting point is 00:29:17 that proclaiming one's faith, whatever faith that is or no faith at all. How we got to a place to now where that's a revolutionary act. I'm going to finish what Michelle Obama talked about on tomorrow's program. But the fundamental transformation that she spoke about is here. The best of the Glenn Beck program. I want to talk to you here about a piece of audio that we found that I've heard before. and it was from a very famous writer philosopher,
Starting point is 00:30:14 George Bernard Shaw. And this is what he said back around the early 1920s. Listen. I don't want to punish anybody. But there are an extraordinary number of people whom I want to kill. I think it would be a good thing to make. make everybody come before a properly appointed board, just as he might come before the income tax commissioners, and say every five years or every seven years, just put him there and say,
Starting point is 00:30:49 sir or madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? If you're not producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then clearly we cannot use the big organization of our society for the purpose of keeping you alive because your life does not benefit us and it can't be a very much use to yourself. This led to the concentration camps, the death camps. I believe he's the guy who came up with. There must be some sort of gas that we could use to liquidate a lot of useless eaters, useless eaters. that led to the horrors of Germany and of China and of Russia. I want to introduce you to a guy that you may have heard of before. Yvall Noah Harari.
Starting point is 00:31:48 He is an intellectual. He's a historian. He's a professor in the Department of History at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is the author of Popular Science bestsellers. Sapiens, a brief history of humankind. He is a transhumanist. If you don't know what a transhumanist is, you need to know. If you ever saw an episode of Star Trek with the Borg, that's transhumanism.
Starting point is 00:32:18 It is the merging of man and machine. He thinks, and I'm quoting him, he thinks free will is a myth and dangerous. his key theme is the idea that the human society has been driven by our species' capacity to believe in what he calls fictions. Those things whose power is derived from their existence in our collective imaginations, whether they be good, whether they be gods, whether they be nations. Our belief in them allows us to what cooperate on a societal scale. So I want to give you a little history before I play this new kind of George Bernard style audio. In 2017, he wrote an article that argued that through continuing technological process and advances in the field of artificial intelligence, by 2050, he said, a new class of people might emerge. the useless class, the class.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Again, quoting, the useless class. People who are not just unemployed, but unemployable. They couldn't keep up. They couldn't be retrained. He then puts forward a case that dealing with this new societal class, economically, socially political, will be the central challenge for humanity in the coming decades. He has also commented on the plight of animals, particularly domesticated animals since the agricultural revolution.
Starting point is 00:34:03 He is a vegan. He said industrial farming is one of the worst crimes in history. Industrial farming, one of the worst crimes in history. And he says the fate of the industrial farmed animal is one of the most pressing ethical questions of our time. This coming from a guy who is talking about useless people. Now, he's also written that the idea of free will and the liberal values based on it emboldened people who fought against the Inquisition and the Divine Right of Kings. They fought against the KGB and the KKK. It has become dangerous now in a world of Deges.
Starting point is 00:34:54 economy where he says in reality there is no such thing as free will governments and corporations are coming to know the individual better than they know themselves and still quoting if governments and corporations succeed in hacking the human animal the easiest people to manipulate will be those who believe in free will he elaborates that quote humans certainly have have a will, but it's not free. You can't decide what your desires that you have. Every choice depends on a lot of biological, social, and personal conditions that can't be determined for yourself. I can choose what to eat, whom to marry, whom to vote for, but these choices are determined in part by my genes, biochemistry, gender, family background, national culture,
Starting point is 00:35:54 and I didn't choose what genes or family to have. Now, his job, he says, is to predict the future. I'm sorry, his job is not to predict the future. He's actually trying to do the opposite. He wants to find the horizon of possibilities that mankind is now facing. He says, my main task as a historian is to get people to consider possibilities that are usually outside their field of vision. He goes into, for instance, the medical advances of the 20th century.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I know this is dense and, you know, it may seem irrelevant now, but it is going to become extraordinarily irrelevant here in just a minute. So he's talking about the medical advances of the 20th century, such as antibiotics and how they eventually trickled down to everybody in the lower classes. but he doesn't believe that that will trickle down again. He said the particular reasons why discoveries trickled down to everybody probably will not repeat themselves in the 21st century. So we should broaden our thinking and consider that medicine in the 21st century will be elitist. Quoting, every human being is valuable as a soldier in the trenches or a worker in the fact.
Starting point is 00:37:25 factory, but soon in the 21st century, there is a good chance that humans will lose. They are losing their military and economic value. He says, once people lose their military and economic value, the access they have to medicine will follow them. So this is again the reason why you cannot look at people as a collective. people must have value in their own right that is a that is a part and separate from everything else. He then goes on to say that old age, disease, and death and how humans are trying to overcome disease and treat old age and death as a technical problem. There's no difference in essence to disease like cancer, he says.
Starting point is 00:38:23 In principle, in principle, humans die for technical. reasons. But then he goes into the rich and how rich people may not have to die in the future. He said death is optional. I know this sounds like crazy talk, but is somebody who has studied these kinds of people for the last 35 years, I'm telling you, in their mind, it totally makes sense. It totally makes sense. They look at death differently because they don't believe in a soul. Throughout history, was the great equalizer, but in 50 to 100 years, in addition to everything else the rich get, the poor will die off and the rich will get an exemption to death. He then goes into the concept of decoupling of intelligence from consciousness.
Starting point is 00:39:14 These two have always been tied together throughout history. Computers will not become like humans, but the system doesn't need consciousness. It just needs intelligence. Computers cannot become conscience. conscious, they can become as intelligent or more intelligent than humans. As a historian, he says, I'm not in a position on whether these ideas are realizable or not, but basically, if any of these trends is going to actually fulfill itself, the best I can do is to quote from Carl Marx and say, listen to this, everything solid melts into air. I had no idea that I was
Starting point is 00:39:55 paraphrasing phrase marks when I've told you for the last 25 years there's going to come a time where everything is that you think is solid will be liquid and liquid will be solid. He said once you solve a problem like the direct brain computer interface, that's the end of history and biology as we know it. When I come back, I am going to play some things that he has said, and remember, he is part of the team putting together the Great Reset. And Barack Obama has talked about him. Joe Biden, you know, back in the days when he was reading still, he talked about him. All of the biggest leaders in the progressive movement not only read his work,
Starting point is 00:40:55 But they also believe he's a genius and that he should be listened to. And his solutions are critical to the world in their views. So I want to play this clip. And, well, I'll let it stand on its own for now. This is Yval Harari talking about the classes of people that are coming because of where we're headed. societies. Again, I think the biggest question, maybe in economics and politics of the coming decades, will be what to do with all these useless people.
Starting point is 00:41:38 The problem is more boredom and what to do with them and how will they find some sense of meaning in life when they are basically meaningless, worthless. My best guess at present is a combination of drugs and computer games. as a solution for more. It's already happening. Under different titles, different headings, you see more and more people spending more and more time or solving the inner problems with drugs and computer games,
Starting point is 00:42:10 both legal drugs and illegal drugs. You look at Japan today, and Japan is maybe 20 years ahead of the world in everything, and you see all these new social phenomenon of people having relationships with virtual, virtual spouses and you have people who never live the house and just live through computers. I think once you're superfluous... Okay, stop for a second. I'm going to pick it up after the break a little bit more, but
Starting point is 00:42:40 let me let me just go over what he just said. He's talking about a time that is in our very near future where there are a lot of people, for instance, truck drivers. When you, when trucks are taken over by computers and they are all driverless trucks, what are you going to do? Can you be retrained for something that is high tech? Because everything will be high tech. You probably don't know this, but most service calls that you get from companies,
Starting point is 00:43:18 when you get a, when you get a call from somebody at night and usually the calls that you you avoid. That is not a real person. It's not like the old days where it was like, we have a survey. Now it is so good that most people have no idea. That's a machine. All of those people in the in the telephone business, those jobs are going away. And it will be like, it will be like that with every job eventually. So he's talking about. the millions of useless eaters, useless people. How do we deal with them? Well, I think we drug them.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And then, you know, just keep them entertained with video games. But why would you do that if they're useless? At some point, there's a crisis. And this is exactly how it happened in Germany. Useless eaters. There was a crisis. They need to pay for the war. So they had to liquidate millions of useless eaters.
Starting point is 00:44:31 No, no, no.
