Joe, that is the trillion dollar question. That is something that I don't think anyone has an answer for yet, but at least thank you Joe for thinking about this. Most people have not thought this through. They have not really come to a place yet to where they see what, what AI is about to do and it is about to just destroy jobs. Now there is the hope that new jobs come out, but I'm, I'm, I'm, you know, I'm having a hard time seeing it not destroy millions of jobs around the, the, the world. And so people are going to be unemployed and some of the great minds of the great research reset, etc. Including Noah Haval Harari has, has come out and said they're going to be useless people that we just need to keep on drugs. This, literally, this is what he says. Need to keep them on drugs and keep them addicted to the Internet, just keep them busy. That's, that's not sustainable. I think honestly you're seeing another solution. In Canada they have just taken their maid program, which is medical assistance in dying. And it was for just people who were at the end of life. They were in, you know, had a terminal disease that was just like 5, 6 ago terminal disease only. They have now adopted maid for newborn children. Newborn children. Now to give you an idea of how rare that is, the last country that did this was Nazi Germany. The doctors up in Canada cannot keep up with the current requests for medical assisted suicide. And it is in every, every sector, every walk of life. It is the elderly, it is the sick, it is the non sick, it is those with disabilities, it is those teenagers that are going through depression. Now it's down to babies. After you're born, not only can you kill them before you're born, now you can kill them after because I don't know why. Is it an inconvenience? Is it? What, what is it? And if they say now, oh no, it's only for the very, very, very, very malformed it. Well, that's what it was in Germany too when they first did it and you saw what happened in Germany. So you're going to see some of the worst of human beings come out to solve this thing. You're also going to see things like ubi, that's a universal basic income. I personally think there should be a tax and I haven't, I'm not settled on any of this. I think there should be a tax on those like Zuckerberg and, and quite honestly, Elon Musk, the people who are going to be running these things and there's going to be a handful that are worth trillions and trillions of dollars. I'm sorry, but you used our information, our private selves and you're still using him to, to build these things. And then you took our jobs away. I'm sorry, but that, that is the first time I've ever said that maybe we should share the wealth a little bit. Hey Jamie, this battery just went out. So I think, you know, we have a lot of talking to do here and I'm not sure that any of it that I am suggesting is right. But here's, here's where I would like to, to go. Yesterday we had a phone call. We had somebody call in. Her name was Angela. She was from Tennessee. And she talked about all of this. She's talked about how all of this stuff is starting to collapse, that she doesn't really believe in anything, and she's wondering whether maybe the government should do. Should do more. Well, she. She talked about how, you know. You know, she had done everything right. She had gone to college, and now she came from nothing, built herself up, and now she could just barely, you know, keep her head so. Her head above water. So I gave her some advice, but it bothered me all day yesterday. And I want to come back to this, because I've been thinking as I'm developing this new venture of mine called the Torch. We've been looking for the imagery for it and everything else. And I saw some things that our team has been producing, and it included the Statue of Liberty and the flag and everything else. And as I'm watching that, I thought, that is so dated. That appeals to me and my generation, but I don't think that appeals to anybody that is in their 20s, because it does. It's all empty. You know, there was a time when the American flag meant something, and it didn't need to be explained at all. There was a time when the Statue of Liberty was more than just an old, outdated tourist. Stop that. When you saw it, sometimes, it could move you to tears. It was a promise. There was a time when the courts were considered the halls of justice, not arenas for politics. But for people who are in their 20s and early 30s. I don't know. I think all of that stuff feels hollow now. You know, the. The. The flag, it's a banner of somebody else's dream. And Lady Liberty is just a shell. And the courts are just another place where power decides outcomes, not truth. That American dream that I understand because of my generation and my parents is gone because we didn't pass it on to our children. And the schools and the media and everybody else did a horrible job at this. If you're in your 20s or 30s, you were a kid when your parents probably lost everything in 2008, and you saw the big banks, you know, bail every big bank out. And then you saw maybe your mom and dad's business shuttered on Main Street. You watched your parents work hard and have less for it. And then came Covid, and you saw the government do the same thing, bail out all, hey, it's fine to be in Home Depot, but that local Ace Hardware. No, that's. That's the plague. And none of that made sense. And jobs vanished and schools closed and freedoms were curtailed, and the divisions in this country just froze. Like, you know, cracks in a frozen lake. I mean, it was. It's not good. And that's all you've seen your whole life. And then you did the right thing. Because what was right in the 1950s was still thought to be right today. And it wasn't. But that was. Go to college. You did everything you were told was right. You chased the degree, you took on debt. And then the jobs you got out, the jobs you were promised weren't there. They never came. Well, they were. It's because you were being lied to about that. Nobody could look over the horizon. Oh, I'm sorry. The people who actually have credible voices, or so you thought at the time would look over the horizon say, no, it's fine, it's fine. Some of us were saying, don't, don't do that. That's a lie. It's not going to happen. But we were discredited. And now the house, it feels as distant to you? Buying a house probably feels like, oh, yeah, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna walk on the moon someday too. Capitalism, the system that built the abundance that you see around you now, feels like a rigged game. Because many times it is a rig game. It feels broken. It feels, it feels like it failed you. And quite honestly, it did. I. I see it. I see it. I hear you. And you are not wrong to feel betrayed. Now the question is, what do you do with that? So the American dream is not what they told you. This. The, the lies started long before the bank started bailing everybody out except your parents. The American dream was, was never about the banks. It was never about politicians. It was not about what the universities say it was all about. It was never about a white picket fence or a two car g. You know, that was all a marketing pitch. And I can tell you right where it came from. It came in the 1930s with FDR. Again, it was a marketing pitch. Up until the 1930s, the American Dream was just this freedom. It was being. It was you not having to ask for permission to start a business. It was you not being cobbled by heavy taxes and regulations. It was. It was about building and creating, about being you without having to ask, can I be me? It was all about dreaming, just audacious dreams, and then taking your two hands and putting them to work and trying to make that a reality. Okay, what stole that dream is not. It wasn't capitalism. It was control. A hundred years of policies from the progressives where you were taught to wait, to comply, to memorize these, because they're going to be on a test, to look to the government, to the experts, to the bureaucrats. Everything requires permission just to live your own life. And if it's not permission, it's a tax or a. Some sort of a form that you have to fill out. The dream wasn't broken. It wasn't broken by the people. It wasn't broken by capitalism. The dream was strangled to death by the system. Okay, now that, if you can understand that, now you have a new set of questions. Symbols can be replaced. When the old symbols lose their power, new ones can rise. Or you can reinvigorate those symbols by putting new power back into them. The new symbols of the American Dream are not going to be marble statues or buildings. The new symbols of the American Dream go back to what they were before the Progressive Era. You, the people, somebody who's working right now in their basement on something and they just think they have something. And them being able to keep that idea, enhance people's lives and get rich from it. The craftsman that's turning a side hustle into something real, the entrepreneur that is not going to wait for permission. The communities that stand together when the institutions fail them, that's the American Dream. And the danger here is, is that we are losing our symbols. And one of our symbols is the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution because nobody knows what it really is. So it doesn't have power to the average person. But that is. The Constitution is not a relic. It's not a symbol. It is a root. Now, the good thing is, if our roots on this thing are still deep, we are entering the storm of ages. And when a storm rages, those roots, if they're deep enough, they hold and they survive. If. If the roots are so atrophied, it's just going to tumble and blow away. But the truth isn't gone. Justice is not dead. Liberty is not just an empty vessel that is standing there as a tourist trap. All of these truths have been buried for decades. Noise and lies. And here's a good thing. It's going to be your generation that digs them back up. You're going to find them again. And you're going to find them. Well, you won't find them if you're waiting for rescue. You won't. You'll find them by daring to dream again. By daring to say, I don't care what you tell me, you're not the boss. Of me. And you don't control my thoughts. I'm sorry. I can either choose thoughts that empower me or I can choose the thoughts that disempower me. And I'm sorry, all the thoughts you're putting into my head make me weak and pathetic. I am not going there. I'm going to change my thoughts and change my life. You know, you don't wait for somebody else. The American dream is truly American because of who we used to be and who we, I think, still are. We just have to find it in ourself. We just have to believe it again. We are the people that went to the moon. We are the people that do these daring things. And that is not dead. It's just changing hands. And they have. The older generation has tried to convince you that it means nothing. You can't do it. It's in your hands now. And when you grasp it, when you live it not as a slogan but as a way of life, you'll discover it was never about chasing symbols. It was about becoming one. You're listening to the best of the GL Glenn Beck program. So in talking about capitalism and the future and especially AI, let's have a deeper conversation on this because, you know, the fear is it's going to take our jobs and you're going to be a useless eater, et cetera, et cetera. Because AI will have all of the answers correct. But how many times. Hang on, hang on. That is correct, if you look at it that way. But let me say this. I could have people who are wildly educated on exactly the same facts, and they will come to a different conclusion or a different way to look at that. Okay? They can agree on all of the same facts, but because they're each unique, and an AI is not a AGI or ASI is not going to be unique. I don't think this is my understanding of it now. And I've got to do some. I got to talk to some more people about this that actually know, because coding is now what AI does. Okay? That can develop any software. However, it still requires me to prompt. I think prompting is the new coding. And if you don't know what prompting is, you should learn today what prompting means. It is an art form. It really is. As. As I have been working with this now for almost a year now, learning how to prompt changes everything. And so. And now that AI remembers your conversations and it remembers your prompts, it will get a different answer for you than it will for me. And. And that's where the uniqueness comes from. And that comes from looking at AI as a tool, not as the answer. So, Stu, if you put in all of the prompts that make you you, and then I put in a prompt that makes me me. Donald Trump does it, you know, Gavin Newsom does it. It's going to spit out different things because you're requiring a different framework. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah.
