Chris Rock (17:17)

I figured I actually met with a young man that and had some other prominent musicians and record heads to have an off the record conversation about AI and music and the app's Called Suno and it's bananas because it's pretty dang good. And for writing music for it produces music. See, what Spotify is doing is a lot of their, you know, they have to pay money every time they play one of our songs. They're creating tons of. You put on a, that sounds like beach. A beach playlist that has 100 songs. 20 of those songs might be by some artists you never heard of because AI created it. They don't got to pay anybody.

Glenn Beck (17:50)

Wow.

Chris Rock (17:50)

But are they using our stuff to make it? Yeah, but the way I looked at it is I looked at like Napster when that started and I was like, what's going on? And you know, all the artists were up in arms and record companies wanted us to get behind. You know, they're stealing their pirating music and I'm like, hold on, are they stealing from the record companies? Like stealing from everybody? I'm like, good. I care less. I make all my money live. But now with, with AI, I'm like, so I'm asking this guy and I'm like, so I can give you some acapellas in my vocals and you can model my voice and then you can put it on your system and however many people want to write songs for me with my voice can write them. He's like, yep. I'm like, that's kind of cool.

Glenn Beck (18:30)

So I could have like a hundred.

Chris Rock (18:31)

Thousand people writing now. There's gonna be some funny ones in there like you know Kid Rock, right? Joe Biden, like I get it. I'll laugh at those. But so I get, let's say I got a million people writing songs for me. If one of those person nails it and they come up with this, you know, with this life changing song, it's great. I go play it live.

Glenn Beck (18:47)

Yeah.

Chris Rock (18:48)

I'm like, I don't. I'm not seeing the evil in here yet. You know, which the record companies and managers get all the artists up in arms about. We're not going to stop it. I know that much. You are not going to stop it.

Glenn Beck (19:00)

No.

Chris Rock (19:01)

So it's like, let's figure out how we use it as a new tool. The best, like anything else in life.

Glenn Beck (19:06)

That is the most important and astute statement I have heard. You're not going to stop it. So let's figure out how to use it. I'm so excited to take this next step with you because I've waited 30 years, I've been trying to ring the bell on AI and we've missed so many opportunities. But this is this is kind of the last call of being ahead of things. Right now. We are right at the edge of something just absolutely game changing. And I've been trying to prepare you for this moment. And if you're not prepared, you don't really understand. That's okay. That's okay. I'm going to show you this, this hour, how you in your life should be viewing this and, and using it. Okay. Artificial intelligence, AI, it is not Siri. It's not. That's not it. We are on the verge of AGI, artificial general intelligence. And beyond that is artificial super intelligence. That's, that's, you know, that's the big ball of wax. And you've heard me talk for 30 years now about how AI is a tool that will think faster than you process more data than you could in a lifetime. And soon with asi, it will outsmart every human mind that has ever lived. Combined, it will be the processing power of a, of a supercomputer that would literally be the size of planet Earth. Okay. Lot of deep think there. And we've talked about the dangers of it. A machine so powerful it could become a God of our own making. And people will look at it as a God very soon. It's a force that might strip away what it means to be human if we haven't thought about those things. I've also told you about the miracles that it could bring in ways that we never even thought. Can you cure cancer? Sure. But why would I? Ready for this one? Why not just change the DNA of humans so it doesn't. Cancer doesn't hurt the human body. Oh, okay. I don't know what even the ethics or ramifications of that are, but that's coming. Solutions that man has wrestled with for centuries. A world where scarcity could just be gone, hunger could be gone. You've, you've learned this from me, hopefully, or heard me yapping about it and didn't think it really applied to you. But this, the moment that I've been pointing to you at and saying, look, it's coming, it's coming. It's no longer on the Horizon. We're here. March 7, 2025. Not just a date, hopefully, it's the day that you realize we've been pulled into what is called the event horizon of a technological singularity. What the hell is that? Let me, let me explain. Try to do it so you really can follow this, because you're going to hear terms over the next couple of years. You know, kind of like when they started Defining new pronouns. You're like, what the hell was that? And a new one came out every day. We're going to go through that. But this time it's really important that you understand these things. So terms that most people don't know. AGI, artificial general asi superintelligence, the event horizon is a term that's usually used to describe the edge of a black hole. Okay? And a black hole has so much gravity, it bends light. Nothing can escape the black hole, right? Think of yourself in a boat. You're, you know, just on this river, and then all of a sudden you start to hear a roar of something and you're like, oh, gee, that sounds like the falls. And you start to try to roll the other direction, but it, the current is so strong now that just pulls you over and there's no way to escape it because it's too late. That's what this is. Okay? In this, in this particular usage for AI, what it means is that you're at the point where we can't escape the gripped, the grip of super intelligence, because it is coming like the black hole. You're in its grip now, and it is eventually going to pull you into the singularity. The black hole. Once you cross the threshold, you can't escape it. And the black hole will crush everything you knew about life, physics, everything, Life as you know it. Once you cross the event horizon and you're in the singularity, it's called spaghettification. Everything is just pulled and stretched and everything breaks down. That is the way they're describing now, this new technology, and we're on the edge of it and we can't turn the, the boat around. So we have human as humans have never, ever been here, ever. I mean, maybe. I mean, there are some people who are like now saying, you know, maybe 10,000 years ago, because we can't figure out how the pyramids were built. Maybe 10,000 years ago, humans had this technology and they're completely unknown because this technology just destroyed them and wiped them all out. And they left behind the pyramids. And the Egyptians were like, yeah, that's a tomb we built overnight. You know, we don't know. I mean, it could be, may not be, but it could be that. And this isn't science fiction anymore. You're living in it and Grok3 or ChatGPT or any of these things that's in your hand right now. And it is important for you to understand it and use it. This is a system that can analyze data, it can write reports for you it can generate ideas, it can predict the outcomes with a precision that will rival the best human experts. And I'm going to show you how to use this and just start acquainting it, equating yourself whether I don't care what you do. You're retired, you're a CEO, you're a mom, whatever it is. I'll show you how you should start thinking about this and using it here in the next few minutes. But here's the reason why I think it's really important to start here today is because I'm hearing some pushback from my good friends, my co workers, anybody who has heard my warnings over the years. They're all like, wait a minute, you said this was bad. Yes, yes, it is. But it's also tremendously good. It's when we actually get to ASI that everything could go very dark. Okay? And I've spent decades cautioning you about the risk of this technology and how it will be your master if we're not careful. Okay, so then why are you suggesting we would pick this up? I know it sounds contradictory, but it's not. It is the sharpest tool you will ever hold. It's sharper than any axe or any computer before anything you've ever experienced. And the difference is this tool can think, it can adapt. And if you don't learn to wield it now, before it gets really weird, it's going to wield you, and then you're going to be powerless. You must understand this is your tool. And somebody asked me, I had a meeting yesterday and some. Somebody on the staff said, you know, what are the ethics? And I said, I don't know what the ethics are. Nobody does. We don't know this. Nobody's ever done this. We have to write the ethics. We have to ask themselves our questions. You know, and this is the first of the seismic shifts that I told you for the last 30 years would come in. 30 years ago. I started warning, there's going to be a time when even the person at the top of their craft, doctors, lawyers, artists, engineers, me, will find themselves out of a job. You just, it just all of a sudden, it'll just be over. Okay, then what do you do? It's really important that you understand the only ones that have a chance of really kind of surviving are the ones who have used it knows. Knows exactly what it can do, know its dangers, have worked out the ethics in their own mind, and then have kept so nimble they can adapt to whatever comes. If you calcify in Your thinking it's over. Okay? I don't care how long you've done it. I don't care if you're the CEO. I don't care if you're in the radio broadcasting hall of fame. It means nothing. Tomorrow, that will mean nothing. So what do we do? The time of that first turn, where in 18 or 36 months we're going to find ourselves going, I don't have my job anymore. What happened? The beginning of that first term is happening right now. You're at the beginning of a cycle and it's. The cycle is going to happen every three to five years. And you're going to need to retrain, retool and redefine what you do while holding on to your humanity and your ethics. Okay? I don't know when the next wave will hit, but in 18 months, this is going to be so undeniably clear to everyone. Everyone around you and everyone around you who haven't paid attention, hasn't done the work I'm going to ask you to do beginning today. They're going to be so lost. They're going to be so absolutely lost. Because it will be the rage. People will be misusing it. They'll be destroying themselves. I mean, it's going to be a mess and everyone is going to be scrambling to catch up. It will be too late at that point because you're either going to be the tool, not the master, or you're going to be the master. You're either going to be dragged into this black hole un unknowingly and just spaghettification happens to you and your life and your family and your humanity, or you will lead and say, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is the point where I hit the ejector button and I'm like, I'm out. And I don't know where that is, but the choice is yours. But you're going to have to begin to act today. What worries me most is not the pace of change, but it's what we might lose in the process. Transhumanism, another term. What does that mean? You ever watch Star Trek, the Borg? That's transhumanism. It's AI merging with humans. And that is not Star Trek. That is. It's already here with Elon Musk. He's already doing it with people who can't walk. Okay? And it will look great, and it is great for some things, but there's going to come a line and the temptation to upgrade yourself is going to be so unbelievably. Tempting that most people will go, why wouldn't you do this? I don't know. I have my reasons, but you're going to have to come up with yours. I mean, I don't think we want to erase the very essence of what makes a human human. And that's our flaws, our soul, our humanity. Ask Grok when. If I put an implant in me and I begin to have the Internet in my head, and I'm going to the Internet and the Internet is coming into my head and it's telling me things, but they're just kind of like the thinking of my. I can't recognize it. When do I stop becoming me? When am I AI and not human? Not Glenn Beck? And. And at what point? And it went through. I did this the other night. Went through all kinds of arguments both for and against. And at the end it said, I don't know. Nobody knows. Nobody knows. We'll know it when we get there. These are the things you have to think because the line is coming and maybe, maybe soon. Do you live with your imperfections or you do cross over? I know my choice. Your choice may be different, but that's your right. But today isn't that day. Today, it's all about mastering what is here so you can educate yourself. So when that day comes, you're going to be ready. You're listening to the Best of Glenn Beck. Need a little more? Check out the full show pod podcasts anywhere you download podcasts. All right, so let me tell. Tear this story apart and let's just start with what happened. This happened last spring. Okay? The lame duck presidency. Right around the same time when. I don't know if you heard the story that I talked about last hour about the auto pen scandal. Apparently everything that Biden signed was done by auto pen, except for him saying, I'm not gonna run. That's weird, isn't it? So right around that same time, April 2024, the Biden Harris administration, via the EPA, handed over $7 billion of your money to a ghost called the United Climate Fund. Oh, that's a good name. Therefore the climate now. $7 billion. That's not the real story. This was all part of a 20 billion jackpot from the greenhouse gas reduction fund that was tacked in and tucked in so you couldn't really find it in the so called Inflation Reduction Act. That had nothing to do with reducing inflation. Nothing. It was a scam. So it was all about the green thing. They sold us climate salvation. But what it really was was robbery. Okay, this fund wasn't some titan of green innovation that like we. We've dedicated our whole lives. It popped up in Delaware on November 30, 2022. It was barely five months old when the cash started to flow. Okay. Its tax filings, a complete disgrace. Its first year, it had $547,000 in revenue. It blew through and just torched 451 of those things in two months. $451,000 in two months. Then 323,000 just vanished in other expenses. I mean, it's a black hole. No explanation, just. I don't need to tell you. The legal fees gobbled up more. The Vague promises of $50 million in solar projects. That's what they were saying. Well, it's where. $50 million. Where, where was any. Any of that? Then the mask slips off. We find out that they were funneling cash to Power Forward Communities. Oh, God. Doesn't this just. Don't, don't. Just some of the names of these organizations just you off. Just. If somebody came to you and said, I'm for Power Forward Communities, I'd slam the door in your face. Not interested. All right. That thing is tied to Stacey Abrams, huh? So a political insider gets a bunch of money because she's the teacher's pet. No transparency on that. No accountability. It's just a shell. Stacey Abrams, this Power Forward Communities. If you thought the other one was a sham, she had only raised $100. A hundred dollars? Not a hundred thousand. A hundred dollars. You could get that from the guy who's begging on the street. If you want to. If you want to rob him, I'll bet you if he spends a couple of days just at a street corner, he's got a hundred bucks, maybe even a day. That's all she could raise for her own organization. And then suddenly Biden comes in, is like, you know, you need. It's $2 billion. Oh, that seems right. So there's no transparency, there's no accountability. In December, it was Project Veritas that caught an EPA official spilling the truth on this one. Uh, he said this was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Now, what does that mean? What does that mean? So all it was was a desperate cash dump before the clock ran out. They're giving it to their friends. Why now? Under the Department of government officials doge, they blew the lid off of this thing. The $20 billion was stashed at Citibank. It's being clawed back now by the government. It isn't incompetence it's calculated theft. That's what it is. Theft of your money, your labor, your nation, quite honestly. So now that's what happened. Now here's what it means. And let me give you some historic perspective here. I want you to feel this in your gut, and it's going to sound like it's no big deal, but I want you to really understand what just this one piece means directly to you. $7 billion is $20 per American, not taxpayer per American, family of four. When you tally in the full $20 billion, that's $240. That's just gone from your bank account. Actually not. Because take $240 per. Per family and then just add the interest rate that we're going to be paying China for that borrowed cash. It's going to be a lot more than that. So that's groceries, gas, your kids, school supplies. Gone. Where did it go? Stacey Abrams. Big pockets. And she's a big person, so she has big pockets. Now, even if you have Stacey Abrams sized pockets, that's not pocket change. Historically, this dwarfs. Oh, did he just use the word dwarf? Yes, I did. Dwarfs. Scandals that we have learned ever since. I don't even remember what it was, but the Teapot Dome scandal, when did it happen, kids? 19, 20. Can anybody tell me what it was? No, because you told me just to memorize the date when it happened. I know what happened in the 20s. I don't know anything else about it. So let me just remind you in adjusted dollars, the Teapot. Teapot Dome scandal that we are told we must memorize that cost in. In Today's adjusted dollars. 400 million. 400 million. And we're still teaching about that scandal. This is 20 billion. Okay, I kind of makes it. I mean, really, you look at the Teapot, the Dome scandal now and your kids should be like rookies. Watergate was a break in jail time. Prison break in. It wasn't $1 billion. Siphon. No, there was no money stolen. Nothing happened in water prison time. You know the savings and loan scandal? George Bush's brother was involved. Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was. And it. It. That scandal was 160 billion over 10 years. This is 20 billion, like in a day. Hey, you know what? Call her up. Can we get the EPA on the phone? I'm $20 billion. Okay, so I don't know. That's kind of fast. But we have AI now. Should be a little faster. So this is your money, your voice. Gone. Constitution Article 1, Section 9. It talks. No dollar will leave the treasury without law. Law for us, apparently not for them. So remember, you're still working today. Every dollar you're going to make at work today is going to go to the federal government. When you break it out over a year, you will be working, I think it's this year, till April 19, from January 1 to April 19, just to pay your taxes. And what happened to those dollars that you've worked from January 1st to April 19th this year? I don't know. Stacey Abrams stuffed it in her big butt someplace. And money shooting out to whom? I don't know. I don't know. I worked hard for my money. What did Stacey Abrams do for hers? Okay, so now who's involved and who might be involved? Well, Biden Harris, because they signed off on this. You know, Kamala Harris said this was, this was her legacy, the greenhouse gas reduction fund. All right, so good. Let's make sure she understands that's her legacy. Now, the EPA chief under Biden, Michael Regan, he was the bag man. He's the guy who doled out the millions. The Climate United Fund, their officers, I don't know. I don't know. Scooby Doo van, we're sending it out. The kids are going to be able to unmask him, you know, eventually. But I don't know. Scooby's kind of old at this point. Even the Scooby Snacks didn't keep him in that van very long. But their tax forms are hiding all of the names of the officers, so we don't really know. But Abram's power forward, that one. What does that smell? It smells like rotting garbage. Now that's Stacey Abrams power forward. Citibank held all the loot. No foul play proven yet, but they are in the frame. And Citibank, if you did anything wrong, I pray to God we come and get you too. The EPA whistleblower, he's a cog, but in their words, it's a cabal at the very top that knew this was just pre election cash. That's all it was. All the monies, if you're a Democrat, all the money that you sent in, what was it? A trillion dollars that people donated. And you kind of went, where did that money go? Yeah, it lined the pockets. It's in Stacey Abrams, but someplace, I think it is. I don't, I don't know that for a fact that that's where she keeps it, but it's kind of a big but. So who else is involved? Dig a little deeper here. Who else is involved? Well, the Obama era Loyalists. I can't wait to tell you about that. Climate grifters, congressional enablers. They were the ones that slipped this into the law. The Doge crew, Musk, epa, the head of the EPA now, Lee Zeldin. I love you. They got the scalpel out and it's kind of sharp. Justice and the Inspector general going to name names, or at least that's what they say. But understand, this is not a lone wolf. It's just a lone one. This is a whole pack. And they have been feeding on the American carcass. They got blood all over their face. I think we should go wolf hunting myself. Now, who could possibly be against tracking this down? Because not everybody is cheering Doge and Elon Musk, in fact, he's a Nazi. Did you hear that? We don't have Nazis around here. I haven't heard anybody call anybody a Nazi ever. Okay, so it's going to be the entrenched, the deep staters that are going to fight tooth and nail on this. They might even break out. And we shall overcome. Good God, it's not 1965. Shut up. Anyway, they might break out in song, I don't know. But the climate lobby, these NGOs, the green tech firms, the banks, Billions of dollars. And they're all going to say, but the planet is in peril. And that's why we don't know what would burn down. That's why we wanted to keep it someplace moist, like Stacey Abrams. But now the Democratic operatives that are tied to Abrams and Joe Biden. Yeah, they're not. They're not happy about this because they're going to be exposed, but they're gonna. Here's what's gonna be exposed. The patrogen network. That's their lifeblood. That's how they keep. Have you ever wondered how Who. Have you ever said this? Because I have. Where the hell are the Republican billionaires? Don't it seem like everybody, anybody who wants to, you know, destroy the country, they got billions of dollars behind them. Right? And you're like the, you know, the billionaires on the left, they just give all this money. No, you've been giving all of this money. They've been funneling your money in the. To. To the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to these people that want to destroy America. That's what's been going on. And then you have the bureaucrats in the EPA and the government, I mean, the careerist who would rather, you know, they'd rather just go down with a fight because they're going to lose their fiefdom and then their power and their survival and the money and everything else. Look, $20 billion a slush fund buys an awful lot of loyalty, influence, votes. You rip that away and the empire crumbles. Well, it doesn't crumble, but it's a good hit to that because there's hundreds of billions that are in these slush funds. And the big banks like Citibank, I think they're quietly squirming. They're not now. We had nothing to do it. Yeah, that's what the banks of the mob says. And don't forget the media. They're not going to be for it. Okay, so that's what happened.
