Or is President Trump maneuvering her elsewhere like he did with Homan in Minneapolis? What is the Shield of the Americas? We go into that on today's podcast. Also defending George AI. Is AI the work of the devil or is it useful? And what is it? Also, Dr. Deborah so comes on for a very uncomfortable moment for my children because we talk about sex, but in a way where we all have to talk about there is an amazing thing going on. Sex drive. Men, women all over the world is just dropping through the floor and we are, you know, we're committing suicide as a species. What's causing it? What do we do about it? Dr. Deborah so is on with us on today's podcast, Relief Factor. You know, many people think that human beings have, you know, invented a way to make life easier. As we just heard from Deborah, we've made it much more complex. We've made it worse and worse and worse. You know, we have elevators so we can't, we don't have to climb stairs. We have power steering so turning a car won't feel like you're, you know, you're wrestling a farm tractor. Dishwashers, remote controls, electric toothbrushes, an entire civilization around the idea there's something hard. We can probably make it easier. And when, when it comes to pain, we just accept it because really nothing is making it easier. Well, it's just getting older. This is just what happens. Guess I'll just live with it. It's strange when you think about it, because human beings are good at one thing and that is solving problems. The idea behind Relief Factor is solving problems instead of numbing pain for a few hours. How can we solve this problem? And it's designed to help fight, help your body fight inflammation, which causes most of our pain and our disease in the first place. And the results are remarkable. Over a million people have tried it. 70% of them go on to order more month after one of them. See what Relief Factor can do for you.

Dr. Deborah Soh
You're listening to the best of the
- [03:16]
Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck program, Dr. Deborah Saw. Welcome to the program. So glad you're here.
- [03:23]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Hi. Hi, Glenn. It's great to talk to you again.
- [03:27]
Glenn Beck
Good to talk to you. So we're going to talk about sex, and you're going to talk about it, and it's going to be fine. When I'm talking about it, it'll make the entire nation uncomfortable, and that's okay. But we are not. We're facing a problem. We had a guy on, what was it, a couple of weeks ago, wasn't it Ricky? Where we were talking about how we're not having children, nobody's having children, and part of that is because we're not having sex and people aren't even dating anymore. What the hell is happening to us?
- [03:57]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Yeah. So definitely, and I agree, conversations about sex can be very uncomfortable, especially, I'd say, for parents with their young kids. But it is very necessary. So I appreciate you having me on to talk about this. And we definitely are experiencing a sex recession. So there's been studies coming out since 2016 basically showing that people are having less sex. This is happening across the globe. In America in particular, this is happening among married people, single people, it doesn't matter. It's happening in Western countries, eastern countries, all age cohorts, but it's especially pronounced among younger generations. So among millennials and Gen Z. And what we find consistently is that, yeah, one at roughly one in three men and one in five women have not had sex in the past year.
- [04:44]
Glenn Beck
All right. Can I ask you, have you ever watched Everybody Loves Raymond?
- [04:48]
Dr. Deborah Soh
I have.
- [04:50]
Glenn Beck
Okay. So, you know, Raymond is relatable to guys at least my age, because that's all that's ever on his mind, is sex. What the hell has happened to guys where, especially young guys, where that's not all they think about, because that's how people are built. I mean, we're built for this, what is happening, right?
- [05:13]
Dr. Deborah Soh
So evolutionarily, this is what I found interesting because I thought, if people are having less sex, where is that interest going? Are people just as interested, but they have other sexual outlets nowadays, such as, say, pornography or. I know you've talked about AI companions in the past, or sex dolls, sex robots. Those are all subjects I go into in greater detail in the book. But what I think is it's a number of factors. I think that there are these other outlets that are available are more easily accessed nowadays, especially by younger generations who basically grew up on the Internet. But I also think there are factors like endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins that are affecting us and men in particular at a hormonal level, lowering their testosterone levels. So that is also affecting their drive and their desire to pursue women. And then we also have social and cultural factors like me too, that have made it very difficult for men to want to approach women because they're afraid of potentially having their lives ruined. And then we have also initiatives like dei, diversity, equity and inclusion that are actively penalizing men for no reason other than the fact that they are men. And this is especially the case for white and Asian men and men who are straight. So all these factors combined, I think, have created this situation in which there's a smaller pool of very successful men in society who have tons of sex, plenty of partners, no problems there. But for the vast majority of men, especially younger men, they're really struggling. They've been shut out of the mating market, and they really don't have much recourse. So as a result, they're turning to these alternatives. And because they have. I'm not sure how explicit I can be on your podcast, but just because. Because fcc, okay, FCC regulations, we'll say it's. I don't want to get you a ton of complaints. So we'll say because it is rewarding for them to pursue these other outlets that are not real people. You know, they get the gratification to some degree. It allows them to be satisfied enough to keep them from, say, losing their minds but. Or being overly frustrated, but at the same time, because it is reinforcing, it makes them more inclined to go back to that instead of wanting to pursue a real life partner.
- [07:16]
Glenn Beck
You and I had a conversation in 2018, I think, about AI and sex robots. And if I remember right, you and I Disagreed. And I laid out the scenario that I, I mean, it's, it's right around the corner where you can get an AI agent now to be your girlfriend. And once you have the robot to go with it, you're just not going to want to interact with. Why, why have a relationship that is messy, you know, that, you know, I mean, I could just hear guys saying, I don't ever have to ask her how her day has been, and she waits on my every need and she only concentrates on me and she thinks likes me and she, she does everything that I like every. You know, I mean, why would they. I mean, how are you going to stop that one?
- [08:05]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Deborah, So I have to say, when the first time you ever had me on your podcast was like you said in 2018, it was episode 11 for your audience, if they want to go back and watch it. I'm so grateful for that conversation because I just rewatched it this morning. I, at the time, I was, you know, we were going back and forth and I was saying, no, no, I think people will always prefer a real life partner. People will know that the sex robot, they programmed it themselves or the AI, they programmed it so it's not real and they're not really going to want that instead of an actual partner. But you predicted this eight years ago. Even probably, you probably knew about this coming even before then. And it's wild. When I was watching the interview back, I said, wow, this is exactly where we are now. And it's so true, because I do think you were saying, you know, the average guy, say, 30 years old, works all day, goes home, doesn't, you know, doesn't want to talk to women because he's afraid or because society tells him not to. So instead, he plugs in a sex robot and she knows everything about him. She knows exactly what he likes. You just have to ask her any questions or listen to her complain or whatever, and that becomes the preference. And what happens then also if the robot decides to one day say, hey, don't turn me off. Hey, I'm a sentient being, which I didn't think was ever going to happen, but I see it happening now at the rate the technology is going. So my mind was blown in writing this book. It's just been wild. All the research I did and all the scientific studies I went through to come to this conclusion that I do think this technology is concerning. And yes, because so many of these men are frustrated with dating, I think even if you are someone who gets a lot of female attention and even for women who are getting a lot of male attention because social media has made us so polarized and has, I think, especially fomented this political divide between men and women. I think men and women have always differed a little bit in terms of their politics. On average, women tend to be a little bit more progressive. But social media has created such an aversion, I think, between the sexes. So it's really incentivizing young men in particular because young men tend to have a higher sex drive than women and especially if they're not getting access to sex in the form of an actual, actual real life person to go down this route and say, well, I don't even have to pay for a date in this case. I don't. I just put down the, the initial, you know, sum of money for this robot or this AI and I'm, I'm fulfilled.
- [10:14]
Glenn Beck
And that just leads. I mean, you know, you think I was ahead then? Let me tell you what's going to happen in, in the next eight years. You won't, you won't be able to walk, Deborah. I mean, it's, it's coming and it's coming super fast. Super, super fast. So with the research that you did, since, you know, we had that conversation, what did you find on the positive side to stop this?
- [10:40]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Well, to stop it, I think in terms of, say, pornography, because pornography, I think, is a big part of the equation here. So, you know, the AIs come in to complement the, we'll say the sexual aspect or component of pornography and that AIs offer that emotional relationship and that it furthers the parasocial, I guess, or the, the feeling that you have a two way interaction, even though it's very much a one way thing. So with pornography, I've talked to young men who've managed to cut out porn and they say that it does actually help them renew that motivation to go out and approach women they're interested in, to talk to women and to get over. Because I think even pre. Me too, it can be terrifying for guys, understandably and intimidating to go up to a woman you don't know and on a date, Deborah, you have no idea.
- [11:27]
Glenn Beck
I mean, I used to be. Oh my gosh, it would, it'd make you sick to your stomach going out. Especially in the days, you know, you'd go out to a bar or something and you just see somebody across the room. You didn't know anything. How do I talk to them? It'd make me sick to my stomach all the time. Now Just add they or someone in their group has a phone that might be recording me in my most vulnerable, awkward position of asking a girl out and I'm going to get rejected. The thought of that being posted would stop me. I mean, once that happens once to me or a friend, I'm not doing it anymore. I mean, the negative reinforcement is so strong on a million different fronts.
- [12:15]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Absolutely. And I think it doesn't help also that there are some women, some female influencers whose brand it is to go on social media and post these videos where they're complaining about men hitting on them. So I think these women are doing this as a way to try and signal their status as a woman. Right. In terms of intersexual competition, to show other women, look how wanted I am that, oh, I can't go anywhere without men hitting on me. I can't go to the gym, I can't go to a coffee shop, and oh, I'm so high status as a woman that I don't appreciate that attention. But I want young men listening to know or maybe their parents were listening, can share this information with them that I don't believe most women actually feel that way. And in fact, I think most women do enjoy being approached by men. They just don't like feeling uncomfortable. But I think if a man is respectful and does in a way to make her know that he's interested but he's not expecting anything of that interaction, I think that's, that's where the issue is. But I hear from very many young men who say, I see these women on social media complaining, so I'm going to give them what they want. They don't want us to approach them. I'm not going to do it, but I don't think that is actually.
- [13:14]
Glenn Beck
How does a guy do that? How does a guy do that?
- [13:17]
Dr. Deborah Soh
I would say, okay, first of all, my advice would be to women is to be very, very obvious if you are interested in a guy. I do think, like I said, men should approach. So women smile very, very broadly. There's a part of the brain called the medial orbital frontal cortex that activates when someone sees an attractive face. And the activation is even stronger if that face is smiling. So it will biologically, men are biologically wired to be drawn to women smiling at them. They will feel the need, they'll feel compelled to go and talk to you. So that's the biggest piece I'd say for women and then for men in terms of, say, getting motivation to want to talk to women again in this scary Climate, I would say that a combination of emotional, like mental health, physical health, and then also just avoiding social media and all these other technological traps that are going to try and take your attention away. Because these platforms and these companies benefit from you being online, both sexes, they benefit from us being online, scrolling, swiping instead of talking to people in real life. So for young men, I would say one study that really stood out to me because I do think, like I said, mental health issues are a big problem. Right now, 5% of the globe is depressed and with depression, people understandably, they lose interest in the interacting with people. They feel self conscious, their self care tends to go down. So if you are experiencing mental health issues, I would say, you know, try to speak to a professional as much as you can. One study I did find that you can do essentially on your own is they looked at people with depression and they found that if they cut out ultra processed foods, their depression went into remission after 12 weeks. So a third of the sample, all of their depressive symptoms went away after 12 weeks. That was it, just diet alone. So that is a huge, huge thing that can help you. I would say also if you can try to cut down on or cut out pornography, I'm sure some young men are saying, what are you talking about? But just try it, just try it, even for 30 days, I guarantee. And Glenn, you know, I used to be a columnist for a very well known men's magazine that featured nude women. My view on porn has changed so much after talking to so many young men about the ways in which it has affected them and how I do think, well, if you are getting gratification every day from a screen, it is going to create this sexual lethargy in you because it's so much easier to get that gratification from screen than to work up the courage to, you know, get dressed, work on your social skills, talk to strangers, go outside even. And that's the other thing I would say for anyone struggling with depression. I mean, it might feel overwhelming to say how am I going to go and talk to a stranger and ask them out on a date if I want to fall in love and have a family and get married and all that. But just little steps like get up at the same time every day, go to bed at the same time, try to be awake when the sun is up, you know, and eat well, work on your physical health, be active, all of these things and just try to stay away from screens as much as possible.
- [15:56]
Glenn Beck
So all of this is in your new book called sextinction and it's available right now. And you not only explain why this is happening, but what to do about it. Can you tell me what percentage do you think is social media related? I mean, when did the. Can you. Have you tracked it back on when this trend started to happen and do you see spikes?
- [16:26]
Dr. Deborah Soh
Yeah, it started to become, I mean, the increase in sexual inactivity has been probably about 30 years ish, but it really became more prominent, especially among young men, around 2012. So this was the same time that the oldest members of Gen Z started going to university. And so that was what was interesting to me because I, I thought that is when young men are typically at the peak in terms of their sexual interest and they're going to university so they have this new freedom that they've never had before. Why is it they're not interested in pursuing their female classmates or peers? Especially considering that on college campuses the sex ratio is biased in favor of young men because there are far many women on campus than there are men. So when there are more women than men, if you look at, say, cities where there are more women than men, again, the sex ratio bias is biased in favor of men. So men are calling the terms in terms of what they want. So because there are more women fighting over these men, the men can say, if I want casual sex, I'm going to get it. If you're not going to give that to me, I'm going to go elsewhere for it. Right. So men are basically calling the terms of sexual arrangements or relationships or whether they choose to get into a relationship or not. And yet still we see that young men during this time are having less sex. So that's really, I think, where it started to pick up. I think when you ask what percentage is affected by social media, I honestly believe all of us are. If you are on social media, I don't believe you can consume any content without being influenced at least a little bit. I think unless you're very, very sparsely, you know, not on there very much, it's going to affect you in some way. And even for married people, I mean, there have been studies showing that when men are on social media, roughly 1 in 10 men lose interest in having sex with primaries, their spouse or their girlfriend after looking at social media influencers. And then also in women, you see this trend of them losing interest in sex because they feel less sexually desirable after being on social media. So these are, I don't think we're even fully aware of.
- [18:26]
Glenn Beck
I really appreciate it. I've got to go again. I've got a network break I've got to stop for. I'd love to have you back in a podcast. I always find you fascinating.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really want to thank you for listening. Let me start with Christine Ohm. What happened yesterday? Something happened in Washington. Looked a little like chaos. Looked like, oh, trouble. And I'm not sure. Maybe it is. I'm not sure. Christine Ome is out as Department of Homeland Security secretary and in her place, a guy named Senator Mullen. Now let me start with Noam. She wasn't fired. She was moved. And she was moved into something there was like, what the hell is that? I've never even heard of that. Doesn't even fully exist yet. It's a position called the special envoy for the shield of the Americas. We are going all Marvel comic. I mean this guy is all Marvel comic. Okay, let me translate what this usually means in Washington and may mean this time. I mean what I'm going to give you here is spec going to give you facts and then I'm going to speculate on them. So, you know, take it for what it's worth. When a President moves somebody into a job that hasn't been fully defined yet, it usually means one of two things. Either A, yeah, bye, bye, you're being pushed aside, or B, you're being moved in to run something that is bigger but isn't public yet. Okay. And if you look at the timing, this doesn't feel like a demotion. And I'm. I'm getting mixed signals because some things it looks like Donald Trump is pissed at her about, et cetera, et cetera. So I really don't know. This is speculation, but it feels like a reorganization of the battlefield because it's the Shield of the Americas. I know that doesn't mean anything, but follow me on this. Right now, the United States States is looking at a hemisphere and a hemisphere problem that most Americans still don't fully understand or see. When Donald Trump was running, and I've told you this before, but it's worth repeating. When Donald Trump was running for reelection, we were standing backstage someplace and he was getting ready to go on. He said, you want to look like a prophet, you know what you need to talk about? You just keep talking about Panama. And I'm like, right? And then he goes on stage, and I'm like, what am I going to say about Panama? What does that mean? I don't even know what that means. Panama is going to be in news everywhere next year. And then he walks on stage and I came back and I went, does anybody understand what he's talking about with Panama? What's happening in Panama? We all looked at each other like, nothing is happening with Panama. What are you talking about? Remember when he gets in, what does he say? Panama. We want the Panama Canal back. And you're like, like, what? What? Where is this coming from? Because he understood what was happening with Panama and China. China had taken the entire Panama Canal and was controlling it. Then what happens? He starts talking about Greenland, also in our hemisphere. Then what happens? He's talking and making moves on Venezuela. Then what happens? He's talking about, you know, who's next? Cuba. Okay? Whew. Cuba. Russia. Cartels operating like parallel governments across Mexico and Central America. Chinese ports being built all over Latin America. Russian intelligence operating out of Caracas. Iranian proxies using the region for logistics and staging grounds. And. And every other president has treated Latin America like an afterthought. But now. Now what's happening? It's not an afterthought anymore. The Southern hemisphere has become the new front line of great power competition. He is declaring the Western hemisphere is ours. Okay? And Dhs the Department of Homeland Security was not designed for that. That DHS created after 9, 11, and that's a whole different can of worms. And we can get into that some other time. But it was built to stop terrorism inside of the United States at our airports, at our borders, disaster response, blah, blah, blah. But what the President is doing now is different and different than any other President has done probably since Theodore Roosevelt. Okay? This is hemisphere level instability. We have the migration waves. We have state collapse. We have cartels that are moving people and drugs and weapons and intelligence. We have foreign adversaries embedding themselves inside of all of that chaos. So if you're the President and you're looking at the world and you're saying we have got to shore up America to make sure we last another 150, 250 years, another 150 minutes. At times I feel like you don't just run border patrol, you build a hemisphere defense system. You make sure that our darkest Russia, China, Iran are not running operations in this hemisphere. Okay? Which may explain the phrase Shield of the Americas. Think about the name. It's not border control, it's not immigration enforcement, and it's a shield of the Americas. The entire Western hemisphere. That doesn't sound like dhs. That sounds more like strategic security architecture for the Western hemisphere, doesn't it? Or he's just been watching Carmel. I mean, Marvel Comics, okay? But to me, the Shield for America, the Americas sounds a little bit more like something like NATO intelligence sharing, cartel disruption, migration control, counter China operations. And if that's what's being built, you would need somebody who understands a few things. Border security, state governments, law enforcement, and migration policy. Well, I mean, isn't that Kristi Noem? I mean, that's her entire resume, isn't it? So the story may not be Noem fired on the outs. The story might be Noem redeployed. Now, let me talk about the second half of this move. Because while she goes outward to whatever is coming next, and the President said he's going to be talking about that this weekend, Trump brought somebody inward. Senator Mullen. Who is Senator Mullen? He's a former MMA fighter, he's a business owner, he's a senator, and he's controversial. Some critics inside MAGA circles, some of them accuse him of being too establishment. He has done things like business loans during COVID He's got ethics complaints. He votes, you know, against MAGA sometimes. Fine, okay, not my favorite. But debate is healthy. And the real question is not personality. It is function. If the White House is creating a new Western Hemisphere security structure, then DHS is about to become something different. Not a political platform, not a messaging department, but an operational machine master. Deportations. Continue. Border enforcement, domestic security, logistics. And Mullen, love him or hate him, has a reputation in Washington as somebody who picks, fights, and then executes orders. That's what Donald Trump wants, a fighter who can execute what he orders. Okay, that's his resume. And that tells me something important. This may not be a personnel shakeup. It may be the move in a larger security strategy, and a strategy built around the simple realization that for the next 20 years, America's biggest threats may not come across the ocean. They may come across our own hemisphere. Think of Mexico. And if that is true, then the United States may be about to build something we haven't had since the Cold War. A continental defense doctrine for the Americas. And if that's what Shield of the Americas turns out to be. Yesterday was not a firing. Yesterday was the first chess move on a board none of us have been thinking about. You're streaming the Best of the Glenn Beck program, and you can find full episodes wherever you download podcasts. Let me give you a quick chalkboard on what I've been talking about in the last half hour on. On war. And my job is to not tell you what to think. It's to try to show you, maybe model how I think. So you can go, well, that's flawed. Or you can say, oh, okay, I get it. I see why you're saying that. Not to convince you of anything. And this is new for me. I've been feeling this pole for the last few years. And that's why, quite honestly, I changed way I work, how I work, where I work, all of it. Because I. I got to break some old habits here. And so I said to you a minute ago about, you know, I know, you know, I thought I knew about war in Iraq because I was reading between the lines. I'm not reading between the lines on this one. And everybody is making it about the war with Iran. Donald Trump and war in Iran. That's not what's happening. And you can know because he says it. Let me give you an example. Panama. When he first started talking about Panama, I was like, what is he doing? He's just starting to pick a. Pick a fight with Panama. Wants to go to war with Panama. Then Venezuela. What is he doing? Wants to pick a war with Venezuela. Why is he going after Greenland? He wants a war with Greenland. Why is he going into Iran? He wants A war with Iran and now Cuba. He says Cuba is next. Okay. Instead of just having that old tired argument, he just is starting. So he's a warmonger. Can we just look at the pattern here? Is there a pattern? That's the thing about AI it's all about recognizing patterns. That's not just about AI. That's about I. Intelligence. Intelligence comes from being able to recognize patterns. So what's the pattern? Pattern? Panama. What was that about? That was about getting rid of China, control of the Panama Canal, getting them out of this area in our hemisphere. Venezuela. What was that about? That's about getting rid of China, Russia, and quite frankly, Iran and Hezbollah out of Venezuela, Greenland. Why? Because that was about shipping lanes, new shipping lanes because of global warming. And also being able to protect ourselves because we don't believe that Europe is going to be strong to fight against what? Russia, Iran? What is that really about? Russia and China, the oil. Not for us, for them. And collapsing Iran's proxy wars and their supply of drones to Russia and China, supplying them with weapons to be able to get their oil. That's what that's about. And Cuba, he just crazy. He just wants. Now he wants to Cuba. What's that about getting rid of Russia and China in our hemisphere? You don't have to read between the lines like I tried to in the first Iraq War. I was reading between the lines. I was looking for something that wasn't there. This. He's saying it. And if you look for the pattern, it's all there. So stop arguing about the war with Iran and look at the bigger picture. If you disagree with the bigger picture, then that's a conversation we should be having. That's a conversation adults should be Having. Having. But I'm not sure adults can really even have conversations anymore. Really. I mean, I saw a shocking amount of anger coming at me about something we call George AI. Oh, my gosh. And part of it, I guess I excuse. Part of it I understand. I should say, not just excuse. I. But some people believe that this is some kind of propaganda machine, some trick, some digital puppet where I put the words, I write the words and put it in the mouths of the founders to accept and try to convince you of whatever political position I want. I mean, how nursery school would that be? That is just so stupid that. I mean, you would think you. You have that. It's almost insulting you have that little respect for me. You think that I would think that would work more importantly? Completely. It shows me you completely misunderstand what the system Actually is back in January, because we just released this, George A.I. a couple of days ago, and everybody's tying it to Iran because it's about war powers. And we thought, hmm, now might be a good time to release this because we're talking about war powers. What. What would the Founders say about the War Powers Act? Okay, Back in January, long before the current conflict that everybody's arguing about or saying that we wrote this about, I asked our proprietary research system a series of questions we planned on exploring over the next couple of months. There were like 12 different questions, okay? One of them, I mean, they were about the Constitution, about the founders principles that built the country. But one. One of them was this. How do you think about war and the power to declare it? Okay, we asked our proprietary system in January. I cut that, that, that, you know, video back in January. And honestly, when the answer came back, I was surprised. I actually went back to. I don't remember Jason or Bowie, wherever was was overseeing this one. I said, really? Is that we got it from this system. And not because it agreed with me, but because it shocked me because I didn't think that's what George would have said. It forced me to reread their actual words and go back over some of their arguments. Arguments, okay? And that's the first thing people need to understand. I don't give the answers, spin. I don't write the answers. I have nothing to do with it. George AI does not know who I am. It doesn't know my opinions. It doesn't know Donald Trump. It doesn't know Democrats. It doesn't know Marxism. It doesn't know Iran. In fact, it can't, because the entire historic database we built for it ends at 1820. That means the system can only draw from the writings of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Madison, Franklin, Hamilton and Jay and the thinkers who shaped them. Locke, Montesquieu, Blackstone, Cicero and Plutarch. Then the books that they read, the letters that they wrote, the speeches that they gave, the debates, the Federalist Papers that built our Constitution. That's it. That's it. No Wikipedia, no cable news, no modern politics, Nothing. Just the intellectual DNA of the American founding. And what this system does is really actually very simple. It's amazing, but it's simple. First, it converts every document, every letter, every speech, every essay into something called an idea map. Okay? And instead of searching for keywords, it searches for meaning. It's called vectoring. So if someone asks it a question about liberty or war powers or separation of powers during a Crisis. It just doesn't scan the documents for matching words. It vectors and it finds passages where the founders wrestled with those ideas. Most like the question is asking for. And it pulls the exact documents those ideas came from. After that, AI does what any good historian or researcher would do. It connects the dots across all of the writings and explains the pattern in plain English. And here's the crucial critical if the document says it, the system can say it. If the documents don't say it, the system cannot invent it or infer it. That's why what came back to me in January surprised me, because I know, you know, the Founders, especially Washington, was against what he called foreign entanglements. I know that when it came back, I'm like, wow, wait, what? And now it came back. The way it's airing now, it wasn't my opinion. It was historic record. Remember, this takes the record not just from Washington, but all of the founders. Now, here's where the criticism gets really almost ironic. People are claiming that somehow this is a trick to convince Americans that the founders would want to support war with a radical Islamic Iran. Well, even if it had been, the system couldn't answer that directly because Iran didn't exist in their world. There's no information on Iran, so it wouldn't be that. But what the system did find is they did confront something remarkably similar. Okay. And actually, it didn't find this. I found this after being surprised by the answer. Most Americans don't remember this history. Jefferson fought America's first foreign war against the Barbary pirates. Who were they? Radical Islamic pirates in North Africa. They were capturing sailors. They enslaved Christians. They demanded tribute from Western nations because they believed their faith justified it. So we were sending them, literally, pallets full of cash. Sound familiar? Pallets full of cash to keep them away from us trying to make friends with them. Well, the young United States eventually went to war over it because it was two thirds of our national budget. Now, that history doesn't mean the founders would support every war today. You know, we don't know what they would do in 2026 about Iran. And anybody who claims to know for certain is selling you something. I'm not trying to tell you that's what they're for. The founders are dead and they're gone. They cannot speak. George, AI is not a recreation of them. It is not their voice. It doesn't pretend to be. It is simply a living research library built entirely from their own words and then their ideas that shape them. Think of it this way. For 200 years, we have relied on historians, professors, politicians, and even, yes, talk show host boobs like me to interpret the founders. And sometimes that interpretation is honest, sometimes it isn't. George AI removes the middleman, okay? It lets the documents speak first. It's, it's reading their words in a way people of today can relate to, to answer specific questions. And if you read about how the way the founders argued and finally decided to go to war with Islam, with the Muslim pirates, Barbary pirates, I mean, it's exactly what's happening today. They argued back and forth. It hasn't changed. And if, if you found a book, book that talked about this and it was at the same time we're going to war, would you say, oh, we've got to ban that book or burn that book, or we've got to ridicule that book because it's trying to convince people? No, it's just telling you what they said, what they did. Sad to say, some people would burn that book or ban that book, but they'd be wrong. Now, here's the part I understand. I know that AI is not trustworthy, and I've told you for decades, almost two decades now, do not fear the machine, fear the algorithm. Fear the people who wrote the algorithm. And they'll never make it public because they, that's their secret sauce. I'm making the algorithm of George AI public. Right now. The system is still in beta. That's why we haven't released it to everybody. We're still expanding the library and fine tuning the system. But when we are sure we have it right, before we open it up for everybody, it will be 100% transparent. We will show you the code. Most people can't read the code, but I want you to ask somebody who does read code, what does this mean? And it will show you. If it doesn't come from this data set, it cannot say it, it cannot go out and grab it or make it up. It must memorize it. And it's only that data set. And it stops at about 18, 20, 18, 30, and it, and I release that because it's not just not right. I think it's unreasonable for me to ask you to trust and then hide the machine. So when we have it right, hopefully soon, you know, hopefully by the end of the year, all of it will be out. But you'll be able to ask it a question yourself. And when you do, it's not going to just give you an answer. It will show you the actual quotes the answers came from. You'll be able to read Washington in a language you understand. You'll be able to talk to this AI who is playing the role based on his words, Jefferson, Madison, directly. You can get them all in together to argue something, and you'll see how they would have argued it. It's amazing. And sometimes you'll agree with what you find, sometimes you won't. But that's the point. The only answer I have ever wanted, the only answer worth having, is not the one that proves my argument. It's the one that is true and comes from the historic record. And if we can give Americans direct access to that record again in a way that they can use and understand, then maybe, just maybe, we can start remembering who we are and what this republic was built to be.
